top 5 reasons for dying...build or skill isn't one of them

There are several reasons I keep dying, and none of them include build or skill...but I'm sure GGG will claim otherwise.

Am I just shit talking? No. Here is why I'm talking about

1. Lack of visual clarity- they throw so much shit on the screen (looking at you meteor shrines), that it's virtually impossible in many cases to even know what is killing you or what you're stepping on

2. 1 shots- there are still so many 1 shots. I think GGG still doesn't know what kind of game of they want and while they claim the want a "slower" game, they also don't want to take away the power fantasy. The result is the only thing they have in their toolbox to "balance" the game is so many 1 shots that the vast majority of builds can't stop

3. Bugs

4. Swarming- just f**** swarm the player with so many enemies that only a handful of builds can stop

5. general balance issues

But maybe it's just the player...really...

Well, I'm level 94, I'm maxed out on my resistances, and I have all the best gear I could buy on the trade site...so there is literally nothing left I could possibly do to improve my build at this point. I am maxed out...and yet they will probably still claim it's the players.

If the player is maxed out and it's still unbelievable grind to max out your level because of balance and experience loss, your game has a problem. I keep trying cause I don't want to give up, but GGG seems to be doing everything in their power to invite the player to play their game, and then pulling back when they are just short of making their game a fulfilling experience.

The major reason why people die often in this game is stupid Critical Kill system.
GGG should remove this crap and stop pretend is not intentional.

Not only this bro. There are no options to increase health compared other defences. What should you do with 1600 Life abd no ES???

Armour mitigates s..ts. No way to play like this. Either it needs to play with 11k ES ir find a broken build to erase screen with one click. F... balance never existed from the beginning of the game.

Agreed, 90% of one shots happen because of critical hits, this would explain why sometimes you can survive 1 hit but all of sudden the same hit vaporize you.

Too many stuff going on and we have no infos sadly. Kudos to those HC that make it to level 100 every league, those are remarkable builds and skills.

Thats why I stopped play this crap at lvl 94 and patch 0.2.
Now I play Titan Quest II ne open beta....WITHOUT XP PENALTY :D

I always love the posts from guys that are like "I am now playing this other game instead that's why I spend so much time on this forum"

Top 1 reason I die, is...its a shitty game, took a two week break, mostly cause I was out of town, jump into my first map, no nasty modifiers or anything, die 3 times b/c something has a snaring effect that I can't see what's causing it, but it's worse then temporal chains. Literally dieing while no mobs are on my screen visual clarity is a fucking joke, the gaming industry is a joke these days there is no checks, no integrity all. I really want to play this game, but every time I do, i regret it within 5min. Pretty fucking sad if you ask me. Mind you I have 3 chars this season over lvl 95 so I don't say this lightly...I cannot enjoy this game anymore, I could put up with the issues for a while but its been out for 9months....where is your self accountability?

PoE 2 is frustratingly close to being great, they need to drop the intentional frustration elements first tho.

Sometimes it feels like a P2W MMO without the cheat purchases available.

Obviously there's no build balance...
