Why Abyss?

I'm left flabbergasted every map I do at how Abyss Enemies made it past play testing, there is fair difficult, there is unfair difficult, and then there's abyss enemies, to call them unfair is an understatement, I'm level 93 max resistances 56% armor 40% evasion 30% deflection, I see an abyss I keep as much distance as possible, next thing I know an enemy teleports on top of me out of nowhere so I run away just for green beams to erupt from the ground and kill me, I'll find another abyss clear the enemies around and instantly kill everything, I'll find another abyss out pops a big enemy with a massive green aura that removes hp and OH HES HASTED TOO? so I can't run, I need to stay close, but I'm playing a ranged mercenary that can't tank yet I'm forced to play up close and tank because dude has haste and is 10x faster then me, Some mods should not be able to roll together plain and simple, yet we still have broken enemies after they've already been nerfed what once or twice? Why even worry about this "League" content when the game is still in early access... we aren't expecting new league content every 3 months the games in early access still missing core components, we are expecting a more and more polished game with more of these core components with each patch, why are they even bothering with broken league content instead of finishing core content and polishing this game?? The more I map the more abyss enemies I see the more this eats away at me and is the reason I'm probably giving up this season just sad, I'm enjoying EVERYTHING ELSE, literally can't even map abyss's are guaranteed each map, ya I could skip past them and al, the enemies, but some are placed in spots WHERE YOU CANT JUST SKIP PAST... Its infuriating, ok so play standard league, and miss out on the new weapons and the new stuff they add this patch that won't be added to standard till next patch? kinda dumb, UPDATE I guess they already added new items to standard league so SEE YALL LATER HAVE FUN WITH THIS BUNK SHIT

Because humans are flawed and never learn from their mistakes. And GGG took it a step further by looking at POE 1 and saying: "see that?....Double it".

GGG is talking all the mistakes they made with POE 1 and doubling down on them.

Some see it as GGG reverting all the mistakes they made with POE 2

That's GGG and POE in a nutshell. Two sides "fighting" over who is right, and only one side winning all the time. At this point, I believe that the losing side should just move one.....nothing will change, no matter how much we wish it.

I for one like the Arch Nemesis friends, at least they put up a fight. much better than another timed content

They added everything in the standard game except the abyss mechanics and so abyss crafting items.

The new rituals omens, new bosses, new essences, new currencies, weapons, etc... is already in the standard game if you would find more enjoyment there.

Those ghosty shaped rares that stab twice a second, non-stop, for 60% of my life....Had a spawn of 5 of them at once (why is this possible???), all with poison clouds filling the entire screen+ and dropping what seemed to be 1-3 chaos orb bombs on me every few seconds, at the same time. They were also 5 times faster than me AND teleported if I managed to get any distance...... I was already exhausted by the endless swarms at that point, so I just logged off. Haven't touched the game since. #slogxhausting! @@

It didn't make it past play testing, it is IN play testing NOW. YOU are the play tester, that's what beta/early access means.

P.S. Paragraphs are not your enemy, they are your friend.

GGG doesn't play their own game. It seems pretty obvious to me. They code, they look at numbers on a spreadsheet, they make claims(100% deflection, etc) in interviews, but they don't play.

To be 100% honest, I feel it's naive to believe the game is going to stay in it's current state. We'll have power creep more and more and more, which each league.

POE 1 was just like this at first, then over time it became good instead of "vision".
