so i ask for help for regular maven carry as i just want her voidstone. some leagues some of my carriers die a few times due to the memory game.

the worst i ve seen is one dude carry me. FAIL. (all portals gone). he uses his own writ to redo. FAILS. buys one for me and tries again AND FAILS. he apologized, bought a writ and went off some where else. i really dont blame him and am happy for his efforts.

I actually like the Maven fight, except for 2 things: Memory Game and the beams that turn off your Recovery (or rather, the fact that they do). The beams can stay as is for all I care, but Memory Game feels unfair to me, but I'm also biased because I have (literal) memory issues. The irony is not lost on me.

lol we can be friends. i am in the exact same position.

maven fight is really exciting. i like the theme, the build up, the music. EVERYTHING.

except the memory game AND the beams. as a blood rage user the beams are a good way to make me suicide.

at times during carries i actually try and "memorize" the patterns from the safety of being dead. even then i fail to memorize properly. FML.

having to do the memory games WITH the beams is the worst experience ever. whenever it happens i sometimes silently talk to the screen "if you wanted me to die just tell me" coz thats a death sentence. no way i m gonna memorize shit WHILE having to avoind spinning beams.

speaking of that. the beams by themselves are annoying BUT fair. and if i'm being honest, they're balanced. they become unbalanced only because players are heavily incentivized to kill maven asap before the next memory game occurs. playing hastily causes more mistakes. if the memory game didnt exist, the beams would serve as an obstacle which players can overcome with patience and skill.

on a separate note. it reminds me of something I HATE about POE1. which is from before and even till now. GGG refuses to make "dash" into a teleport skill.

this means if you dash past the beam, you will still get hit by the debuff.

similarly in sanctum if you dash past a beam you will lose honour as you're considered as having touched the beam.

also applies to sirus spinning beams.

i dont get why GGG refuses to do anything about it. it simply makes flamedash superior.

I don't know what "by now" means. I only just recently tried her. Not everybody is you. Some people haven't been playing this whole time. What a bizarre post.

"by now" means after you fought her about 3 times, or watched one youtube video explaning the fight. Its not rocket science.

I play on console and most of the time I am forced to log out because the memory game animation simply does not play. You hear the sounds but not the indicators where to go. Thank god we have 6 portals.

Word it out as it appears on screen out loud

Memory game is fine and we need more stuff like it as well

I like mechanics like this, once i learned the fight i really havent had issues except pure impatience. i do think its dumb that if you are in the radius of the center circle when you hit the last section you're 1 shot.

Otherwise the fight seems ok to me, I'm also a very average/bad player and am able to farm it in hcssf.
