I literally only die from the dumbest reasons.

It's never just a normal death there's always some special BS that happens...either right when the boss dies or right after...or get this just some regular mob goon one shots ya. I may stop playing until they release the full game. Between the stupid deaths and the garbage loot I've about had it. It's not fun anymore. Especially watching all these streamers with this god awful amount of loot and I'm lucky to get an exalted orb in a map.

I have 321% magic find and I still get dog shit loot. Yes I still die to the DUMBEST SHIT as well. No, I did not sacrifice stats for magic find, I'm running a minion build with max capped resists and great damage and survivability in any sense of the word.
But I die to the dumbest shit. Actively stuck at level 91 and cannot progress because the time it takes to progress to level 92 is too long before some STUPID DUMB ASS SHIT robs me of my precious, hard won XP.

This system sucks. Who came up with this? I'm new to PoE but I hear that there are some devs who refuse to compromise on the "vision"?

My friend played PoE 1 for years and convinced me to try this with him.
Honestly? I regret buying it. Completely infuriating to find out that all the shit that is aggravating me was actually fixed in PoE 1 and then re-invented and put back in PoE 2 by some arrogant, out of touch dev.

I see a lot of good will towards GGG but between this, the complete lack of communication, no updates, $84 USD skins in the store (LMAO) do you know what I see?
I see a malicious company that I hate. Why would I like this company?

Think about the perspective of someone who's only known GGG since December onwards.

What a joke of a company they seem to be.
So in fact, the root of many problems points to the player's resistance limit.


Many players have made serious analysis and suggestions.

Many players have made serious analysis and suggestions, the earliest of which can be traced back to December before GGG released the 0.1.1 version update.

Of course, there has been no patch improvement until now.

I never die in maps with 4k hp, 88,85,86 resistances, 7k armour.
But I agree that the game is inconsistent, just like POE1.

I don't like inconsistent difficulty.
i die and dont know how or what killed me. all in maps. loss of xp and waystones. sucks.
Everybody who says "My build is perfect, my skills are flawless, and I only ever die to instant oneshot bullshit nobody could've ever seen coming or avoided!" is a filthy lying liar who lies. there is no such thing as an Elite Golden God of Wraeclast that is truly immortal save for those instances where he's not because the game is cheating.

When you go down in a map? You may not know exactly what killed you, but you know perfectly well why you died. If you don't? You were blasting too fast, paying insufficient attention, and had it coming.
They badly need to tighten up damage spike potential in mobs. This game's RNG core is almost too RNG with how randomly it will decide your build that has been clearing without significant trouble will suddenly get one shot or effectively one shot (as in, under one second from usually more than one source). I killed a single white minion once and went from 100% full to dead with nothing left on screen, wasn't an on-death effect, only thing I can think of is it was a damage boosted dynamite thrower and didn't notice one "stuck" on me that must have crit (and this is post nerf patch on dynamite miners). I've had one rare in a map wipe 2400 health in a single basic swing, only for another rare of the literal same mob type in the literal same map barely tickle for 150-200 a tap. This bullshit balancing, on top of FAAAAAAAR too rare an upgrade, was a huge reason I gave up on PoE1 either with Ultimatum or Heist I forget which. The same shit happens in PoE2 with far too much frequency which for a much more mechanically deep game with far more emphasis on raw player skill makes the fact it still has obnoxious damage spikes and terrible defense balancing and where gear is easily 90% of what matters outside of a boss encounter really makes me fear for this game's future. It's skeleton is too good for all the meat to be this rotten already.
Made a recent post about i similar thing. Just had a stupid death on harcore on full health to a stupid water ring that didn't register on screen until after I died. Insta death for no reason in campaign is a bit much with 0 health loss until after your dead lol.

That's because you haven't yet realized that every core system in this game is designed to be basically gambling:

- Crafting? Click this shiny button on top of your item and see what random outcome you get

- Drops? Click this shiny thing on the ground, scratch the "unidentified" coating and find out if you won the prize

- Atlas? Put the tablet on the tower and see which nodes got the buffs

- Some other league mechanics are mostly RNG-based. Ritual is a good example.

Supporter packs are also only available during the league, you know, the old "exclusive cosmetics" strategy.
Same with skills. Basically every new league has its own set of broken skills and chase-items that render builds busted. A few leagues over and it gets nerfed to oblivion. Rinse and repeat.

So yeah... GGG isn't dumb. They know exactly how to push your average person's buttons to keep them engaged and giving them money.
Ok Everybody! Lmao I only have 557 hours on the game I may have exaggerated. My bad didn't think it would cause this much of a Stink! Either way I'm not lying about the Divines though and the fact I was just playing my lvl 22 sorceress with only 10% rarity and she's literally found a d Exalted or Alchemy orb about every other rare. Wild that she finds more then my lvl 78 Ranger Pathfinder. 😂
