Early Access Feedback - Dear GGG: You brought over a MASSIVE mistake from PoE1 to PoE2 and it hurts everyone! Resistance?! - Forum

You would have an easier time convincing a pig to fly. GGG does what D2 did. That is why we have a freaking Well now, for no reason (you can just "restart at checkpoint" to get your life/mana back "magically" lol). Resistances are a core D2 thing. So resistances are a core mechanic for them to balance the game around. They will never go away, ever. Don't waste your energy trying to argue for their removal.

This post is not arguing for the removal of resistance though? This post is asking for the way they are calculated to be changed so that grind gear in the game feels better for everyone.

Based. Gambling addiction means that I win more than you do.	Posted by PerforatedIntestines#2752 on Dec 16, 2024, 8:41:18 PM Quote this Post
I agree for the most part but at the very least if not this suggestion then at least let the game give an indication this is happening. This is a big deal and yet the game just casually mentions it on a splash screen UI bit for a few seconds. I'm not quite sure yet where else you could see this....

They're nerfing the map ele resist penalties now instead of buffing ele resists on gear which is nice. I don't think they're going to get rid of ele resist penalties entirely because once again, it was a mechanic in Diablo 2.	Posted by MEITTI#3999 on Dec 16, 2024, 8:49:39 PM Quote this Post

A bit crass, but yeah sticking with bandaid mechanics from a decades old Blizzard game is not aging well and I hope GGG realizes it. The new update lowering the leveling res penalty isn't a bad new bandaid fix, but it's still on a shaky foundation.	Posted by LVSviral#3689 on Dec 16, 2024, 9:31:09 PM Quote this Post
" Tekkar#0132 wrote: +1 Found a belt that I would like to use instead of my current one, but I can't because then I would have about 10% fire resistance that is "too much" and would instead be missing about 10% lightning resistance that are absolutely necessary to have the way everything is balanced around now. Without easy and accessible ways to fix resistances, this is horrible. It would help to have a way of doing harvest mods (change fire resistance to lightning resistance), and being able to replace runes in socketed items. These would be just band-aid fixes though, and completely overhauling the resistance system would definitely be the better solution. I think the harvest craft that let players change resistance elements was the only reason I even stuck with PoE1 for the last 3 leagues instead of dropping it. A single suffix mod should not force you to reshuffle your entire gear loadout.	Posted by LVSviral#3689 on Dec 17, 2024, 3:32:58 AM Quote this Post
