How about giving us a Test Dummy once PoE 2 comes out?
|
Hi,
Now that for years we've had PoB, PoE ninja and many tools for breaking apart the mechanics of damage, can we have a test dummy? I get that back in the day when many things were still a mystery, and we couldn't theory craft so intricately. That is why GGG said no. Though now that most interactions are heavily documented and there's many threads for each, it would be a nice quality of life to be able to wack something in your hideout and know just how inflated those PoB numbers are. Put it behind a paywall, I don't care. CBF programming dps numbers showing up overhead as we're hitting it? Allow us to program how much health the thing has. 5, 15, 500 million health, etc. It doesn't have to get complicated like programming physical damage reduction, and resistances etc. Just give it the default, PoB, white-mob stats and we can work out the rest from there. Or give it uber stats I don't care. People may end up spending hours attacking the dummy. Maybe even days per build. I don't see myself playing PoE 2. I've spent 10 years playing this game and it's basically all I play when I have time now. So, this request is not altruistic in the least, but a request for a parting gift once GGG flips the switch. I'm struggling to come up with new goals to keep me playing this game. Last bumped on Nov 23, 2023, 2:44:58 PM

" I outlined in the post, though I will give another reason: - I'd prefer to observe output in the game over a longer period of time, as opposed to a single hypothetical snapshot. I suppose you could say it's about as necessary as posting 35 thousand posts on a game forum ^^ I'm struggling to come up with new goals to keep me playing this game.

" Still would be nice to have the option to see it real-time "For we are not now that strength, which in old days moved Earth and Heaven. That which we are, we are; one equal strength of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will: to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." - Ulysses, Tennyson

" I'll make it simple, they want you to play the game, not sit in a hideout trying to figure out the highest dps output, when in reality the only indicator is do you kill the monster? can you kill them quicker? those questions can be answered by playing the game Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

" Wrong. The reality is, people sit in PoB more or even watching youtube guides, not even in hideout, not even ingame. Even when they do in the game, they spend more time in hideout to play the market, to accumulate wealth, then to craft / buy necessary gears for their build that has been laid-out in PoB, then after that they play the game. | |
" So miniscule, insignificant percentage of players does that that its not even worth to mention. We are talking about 0,1% of the 0,1% that farm ubers. Overwhelming majority just checks what "insert streamer name" does, copies PoB and plays the game. They dont even go to forums, TFT or any other crap. | |
" LOL? It's a stupid simulator, not game itself. How do you know it sims exactly like game works. Besides, do you know difference between simulator which simulates perfect conditions/rotations and human using keys on dummy? Yup, human is not doing perfect rotation, not pressing keys in perfect timings, can let buffs expire, can miss procs etc. It's like saying I do not need in game dps meter cause I have POB. POB dps is noting. DPS depends on uptime. |
