Memory game is fucking easy. The only thing that sucks is it's so hard to see the final one.

Easy/difficult is very subjective. What the real argument is if something like this belongs in path of exile?

Which was my first argument, that this doesn't belong in an ARPG.

There does have to be something to slow players down from nuking it in less than a second. So yes, something like it does belong in the game in its current form. What doesn't belong is the epic screen clutter diarrhea that exists now.

Not sure if I agree with that, there are other ways to phase the fight and prolong it. Imo the uber elder fight is designed in a much better way than Maven.

This trend of puzzle platformer mechanics started with Sirus and they're continuing in this direction instead of coming up with better solutions to slow down high dps builds.

Totally agree with you.
I don't think this puzzle mechanic is good and fun since we want more active fight during entire boss fight rather than waiting and solving the memory quiz for most of time during the fight.

Watch them add 10 more fights like this coz Zizaran made a video raving about how much he loves the maven fight..

I'd really love to see a manifesto post or something about the design pillars of path of exile. Every game has them, and lately it seems PoE is just going in every which direction in terms of content.

the fight is just another trash fight. Oh! we're gonna cover the entire screen with an explosion and there's no way to tell if you can even avoid it. Dont even know how many times you have to kill her either. Oh! gotta do them phases hehe

this game's boss fights are just bad lately

ive only seen it on streams but it looked like the coolest boss fight theyve made yet.

a lot of people hate on the memory game, ziggy was criticising it the other day, a few other streamers, obviously you lot in here...


i dunno, to me it feels really in keeping with the fluff, its thematic, shes playing with you and making you do a little dance. i think its funny, shes funny

SCURRY SCURRY!!!!!!


i dunno man, i love the maven shes my favourite boss so far. I rly dont like the sirus fight but i like him as a character too, his voice lines and personality are great, i really dig their character creation in general for poe. I need to actually play the maven fight myself but having watched it go down maybe 10-20 times now im certainly looking forward to it more than sirus who is just a visual mess imo. sirus is pretty easy when u got it down but i just dont like the thing, maven looked harder and i do worry about the visibility of the final memory game. but as a mechanic i think its cool.


i dont rly get the belongs/doesnt belong in this sort of game thing. There havent rly been many arpgs, theres been moving area denial in a number of arpgs and poe has added many things that are new to arpgs... if they didnt let you use a mouse and forced you to use a joystick then sure, its a bloody arpg let me use my mouse wtf??? but a mechanic like a memory ground puzzle? i dont see a reason not to have it in such an occasional encounter.

Memory game in last phase is bulshit, im logging out every time <shrug>

Yes. The whole memory game is terrible. My memory is so bad at these kind of things. Any pattern with more than four flashes and I just cant remember them. It's good to have phases on a boss but this just feels tedious when the punishment for having a bad memory is death. Was really hyped for the new endgame but this really makes me want to just quit the game until they change it. Or I'll just skip the fight and sell my writs.

well, at least maybe she will not explode the floor if i succesfully solve this shitty puzzle? because rn if feels like im not only punished for not solving/failing but even when im trying to solve if faster moving near center of the paltform

and yes, not rf-viable at all, thanks to no-regen debuff for AGES from touching anything
