PoE II EA: [SUGGESTION] Rare monsters affix visibility
Hello! I'm really enjoying the early access and I'd like to give some suggestions regarding monsters affixes.
Some affixes are quite hard to notice unless you stop and read the info given below the monster HP bar (which can be actually hard to do if you're using a controller to play as you cannot mouse over them): e. g. exploding corpses, extra physical damage or chaos flowers among others. I've thought about some ways to approach this issue. -The rare monster HP bar is visible all the time at the top of the screen, as it would with unique bosses. This would give time to the player to read the affixes even during action moments. -Use easily readable icons to the right of its affix, like a sword with an arrow upwards for extra physical damage or a purple flower for the chaos flowers, etc. Once you're used to those affixes and icons, looking at them would give you all the info you need in an instant. -An in-game glossary where you can read the affixes, the aforementioned icons and their effects, so people can know in-depth what they actually do. In this glossary you could even select to highlight those affixes that are giving you trouble in your adventure; when they show in a monster the icons and text would appear in the selected colour, giving you a heads-up about a monster which is going to give you hell. If you got this far, thanks for reading and I'm sorry if some parts sounds off as I'm not an English native speaker. See you in the game! Last bumped on Dec 19, 2024, 2:03:58 PM

Good ideas. Even on kbm it can be hard to check modifiers with other enemies nearby.
