What the fuck is the point of on death effects?

You win but you lose. Get good. It makes the developers laugh.

It's to keep you on your toes, even your dopamine hit is getting challenged.

Without on death effects too many high dps builds will never die in maps, and the number of people reaching lv 95+ will start to unacceptably skyrocket.

Not justifying it because I hate them myself, just explaining maybe the reason for their existence.


A N D?


SO WHAT?

on death effects are cancerous-- jsuty because you are one of the cheaters who has

1000 divine orbs
every top unique in the game
10000 exalted orbs

and never die

most of with 18 exalted orbs through level 82 dont want to agree with your mindset.


its ideollogy like this that will make POE 2 a meme within a few months and its not even

'released' yet
It's already a meme.
Reused assets + abandonware.
There is absolutely nothing new, innovative, or improved compared to its predecessor.

the problem is that

1. the on death on death damage happens TOO FAST--- you have no time to react.

2. the on death effect cause the game to freeze momentarily then when you come back after .5 seconds you are dead

and lastly


THERES NO ANIMATION-- it jsut happens --- thats cancerous and just wrong.


theres no counter play unless you have a streamer client or access to favorable dev treatment and have gotten super uber gear, and this are unkillable

I think it's by design to kill x% of builds at a consistent pace. I'm sure the devs know it ends up keeping more people in the game than it loses.

Game is -350k from its peak numbers but ye, gotta clap for the competent developers who made such exciting new features like breach and expedition or decided to take a holiday on their biggest launch of a live service game yet


1. People like you have to stop making up your own facts to justify your low skill opinions.

Please provide the facts you are using for your statement.


2. On death effects exist for the same reason as any mob or boss mechanic, its an ability for you to avoid that adds an extra layer of skill. The problem in this game is that there are way too many of them and that the mobs elsewise have very little interesting abilities. So it just ends up in you mowing down mobs with zero difficulty and then the only scary part are the death effects.

so I'm supposed to get good and dodge a bunch of stupid balls while the delirium fog covers the entire map and there are 300 explosions happening at the same time while I'm trying to outpace a breach?

ok jonathan, thanks for your input
