Death damage recount

Has anyone ever been killed, and asked yourself, "What happened!??"

Good news!

GGG just announced they are launching a trial version of a Death damage recount! You will be able to see a snapshot of the damage you took at the moment you died. Damage details will include, Damage type (elemental, physical, chaos etc), skill names (skills and attacks that hit you) and mob names. This new addition will help players understand why they were killed in action.





...... Sound too good to be true? thats because its not true. However i really hope GGG can give us somthing like this in the future. Dying to what seems to be nothing is not only "unfun" it is just cruel. I am okay with getting killed, or even one shot as long as i understand why or how.

Thoughts?

This probably take up more server resource. Therefore, I believe server lag should be address first prior to that.

You are right, I want one.

Had an interesting death today.

I was killed from off screen by a random boss mob on a tier 12 map but didn't know how. There was only one way to find out.

I just waited and waited on the death screen till finally the boss showed up and walked across screen and I could hover over it.


It had 7 skills but 1 was "the power to blow up corpses" in range.


So FROM OFF SCREEN it has the range to blow up every corpse around me and one shot me in the explosion.

That will be fun for Hardcore players to encounter.

NICE!

The server is already calculating the Information. All i was asking for was an on death visual notification of the last 1-2 seconds of damage you took as you died.

server lag is an entirely different problem, with more complex issues.

YES

this is exactly what i mean. Earlier today i was clearing a t15 map, same as any other, and my character just died. complete oneshot and there was no mobs nearby. i had no idea what happened or what killed me.

As you progress past level 92+ leveling gets frustrating. Exp gains are slow and the risks are high. Having this type of damage recount would have told me i walked over a mine, or i got hit by a projectile i didnt see that crit and one shot me. knowlege is power and we have none right now.

Yes for a death report, please.

Hard to know how to fix a situation/improve my performance when I can't tell WHAT is one shotting me. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not. Especially when it is coming from offscreen.

Would like that. I'd even say it's very much needed.

Hard to learn from failure if I have no way of telling what exactly got me.

I don't think there will ever be one... GGG hard refuse to do it on poe 1 (and i hate them for that) for year so good luck for them to make one.

That is true, however they have different staff running POE 2 and i am hoping they can see the logic in having somthing like this.

Take this and staple it to GGG's forehead.
