General Discussion - Does Rampage get more fun as you level up? - Forum

There are some uniques with abilities activating when on rampage. I didn't have time to see if they were any good though... IGN: ManModeMara (gmt +3)	Posted by H_E_P_T_A#1988 on Aug 21, 2014, 5:33:16 AM Quote this Post
I personaly enjoy the Rampage stuff :) it just keeps me going when I am already over 30 kills, I just have to push it forward! Some of the missions are great for it (protect the holy relic - alot of monsters spawn - oh the glorious rampage kills) the effects are pretty significant when there are alot of monsters around too. I¨ve had a few "wow" moments already. It feels great to me, no dissapointment here, I was expecting alot less from it so I got surprised I guess. kiwi nation	Posted by Kujar3#2609 on Aug 21, 2014, 5:46:23 AM Quote this Post
The most useful rampage bonus is the first one which stuns everything in a large AoE for a good 5 seconds. The rest is sort of lackluster, but I've only been up to about 150 so far. I was expecting rampage to be quite bad and it lived up to its expectation.	Posted by BigRussianDude#5009 on Aug 21, 2014, 6:13:41 AM Quote this Post

There's the occasional nova or weird summoned swords which doesn't matter and is really more of a visual nuisance than anything else, and the speed buff is so tiny (and doesn't appear to actually give attack/cast speed) that the entire mechanic feels completely pointless. I don't even really mind that it's something that doesn't get in the way of gameplay (unlike the godawful Beyond concept) but I feel like it's such a weak mechanic that it might as well not exist. It feels like playing standard except there's some cheap firworks proc every 30 seconds. The effects of Rampage are literally unnoticeable except for the animation of the procs that happen occasionally. Yep, I don't even try to keep mechanic going any more. Get's good and you find you are in a dead-end. Get's good and then you have to stop and pick something up. Get's good and you find you are at the end of the zone. Get's good and you find you are OOM. Farther into the game I'm sure it will get easier to get and keep the chain alive as there will be greater monster density and resource management will be more under control, but dead ends, item pickup, and having to switch zones are always going to be there.

It's just a bit of silliness really. The meat of this expansion obviously took most of GGG's resources, and pseudo-UT wasn't it. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.	Posted by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Aug 21, 2014, 7:54:57 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
I've never seen the reason for giving a bonus for people who can kill stuff quickly... I mean if they can already kill stuff quickly, why do they need the bonus?	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Aug 21, 2014, 7:58:41 AM Quote this Post

I strongly recommend resisting leaning on the logic of that one regarding PoE in general...:) If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I guess they think that quickly-er, and quickly-est are more fun.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Aug 21, 2014, 8:52:12 AM Quote this Post
Guess you guys forgot that mob density is much MUCH lower in normal then it is merciless? (hint: remember the changes to vaal gems soul requirements per difficulty?) also, Look at your tooltip DPS as your kills get higher, It's not just about the fancy "tiers" of rampage. So far I noticed a 15% DPS increase at a kill streak of around ~70 (can't remember exact numbers) Imagine your dps at a kill streak of 200+ IGN: OldManBalls (Warbands)	Posted by demivion#2965 on Aug 21, 2014, 8:55:33 AM Quote this Post
I'm willing to believe that the majority of people who find PoE entertaining are the sorts of people to enjoy the rush of Rampage: a countdown reset by more kills. I'm surprised at how I've responded to that countdown myself. My head hates it but my heart rushes nonetheless. Most of the time I don't even know or care what bonuses I have! :) If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.
