Sirus fight is making me quit POE
|
The problem isn't just down to practice. There are several problems all being bundled up together.
First thing is he almost always goes off screen. Now players spend the first couple seconds going like, where is he? trying to dodge the quade laser on the middle and avoiding barely visible degen pools. Then they start moving around, teleporting through beams looking for him and normally not finding him. Then he says die and not even a second later he fires the die beam. Possibly not even half a second later. Most players don't have reflexes this good, even a full second of warning is not enough for the reflexes of the vast majority of people even if they are expecting it. Third, the beam is instant, it has no travel time and the second it touches you, you die and because he is off screen you don't even know which way you teleport even if you do have the reflexes to dodge. The vast majority of people will just die over and over again to this with no chance to ever win based on all of these factors combined. "The heavens burned

back again to confirm the fight is still complete trash.

(sorry for my bad english)
Yes, the Sirus content made me quit this game, after 5 years of running it. It was not the difficulty of the fight that caused this, that can also be stereotyped being the endgame, but the whole set of this content, the horrible graphic aspect, the powercreep of the awekened gems (more infinity of time to level them), Sirus' spawn system linked to Atlas changed several times, creating only confusion with complicated systems related to map drop and Conqueror spawn. For players like me who spend about 3 hours a day this game is unsuitable, because many (too many) contents are linked to silly logic of rng / time. Unfortunately some games tend to be elite games for those who have a lot of time to spend on this, the "streamer" and esports phenomenon has certainly not improved the enjoyment of those, like me, looking for a fun game without too many absurd complications. In short, sorry to say, but sometimes it is we ourselves who do not seek the right fun and demand the "tailor-made game". I thank GGG for what he has achieved so far, but after Delirium, I personally chose other games, more suited to my time and enjoyment. |

I still sometimes think about some characters that I would like to play, map with them and stuff and .... sometimes it reminds me of the joke that the Atlas has become of the Atlas and the whole Sirus Fiasco ....

Well, I hate myself, definitelly.
I'm doing Sirus services as a part of EGG... Most painfull decision ever. Yeah I kill him deathless. Yeah I learned the fight. Yeah I'm doing it for free, no looting. Yeah I still think it's the worst boss fight ever made in the gam eindustry and the one who came with this idea should be fired and never ever develop a boss again.

" Yeah, it is a huge fiasco. Sirius makes almost every single build in existence not viable or you have to skip him and lose a possible great amount of profit. Again, I would still be a little bummed out if the fight was sellable as an item and I had to sell it cause it's nearly impossible to kill him, but at least i'd tolerate it. As it is, Sirius is a content that is ruining PoE simply because GGG can't seem to understand the difference between core content and side content as well as which should be easier and which should be harder.

" Dude people have done AL8 Sirus on a pure frostblink build. Any and every build in the game can finish AL8 Sirus with like 5 ex budget. Just needs a somewhat decent player. Unlike uber elder the fight has no time limit. Call the fight shit all you want but don't act like it's hard or limiting in terms of builds, because it isn't.

" Allow me to correct you on that. It doesn't just needs a somewhat decent player. It needs an absurdly good player. Like top 10% is your bes case scenario here that can do it with most builds. Even with 100ex worth of gear, 80% of the player base can't do it because the fight requires too much out of the player. It requires half a second reaction time to dodge the die beam. it requires the player to be able to find Sirius when he's off screen which more often than not, doesn't happens and if you didn't find him, it requires luck to dodge in the right direction. Max block builds can do it even if the skill level is lower, but that just means that 80% of the player base need a max block build to be Sirius viable which in turn means, little build variety if you want to do it.

Before all you quit PoE i suggest that you try few things:
1. learn and practice the fight (ticket is free) It becomes very easy when you know what you are doing and what to expect. Your skill makes a difference. 2. invest into defenses of your character Dps isn't everything... Check out this video. Defense investment in raw currency costs less than 1ex. Toying with Sirus 8 (last phase) - no clusters, no legacy gear, no Harvest crafting. With and without Molten Shell. https://youtu.be/gtjvXMCowaE PS I won't argue that fight is annoying and not interesting... Last edited by TorsteinTheFallen#1295 on Aug 17, 2020, 4:24:34 PM

" The difference is absurd. My max block Glad had a real breeze doing Sirus. Even could tank the Die! Beam. And some people still think all builds can do it... " Wrong. If you one shot or insta-phase Sirus he doesn't do stupid stuff. But this works for all bosses in this game. Maybe Atziri/Uber Atziri is an exception. Do I agree with it? No. Stupid DPS and powercreep was wich lead us to Sirus. "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."
