And KurauPM#6519 you must have been playing white tier 15 maps if you have played any at all .
Oneshots and silly deaths happen all the time, out of the players control , in fact too often that is the point . You don't have to go kamikaze . Go watch a streamer , everyone dies all the time in end-game content.

I've already finished everything except Ritual (cause somehow, i still didnt find a single audiance with the king, nice drop rate).
You're talking about T15 white maps, funny, when maps are basicly at minimum "t16" or even 17 with the purge system on corrupted maps.
There are no reason to run white maps in PoE2, since there is basicly no "dangerous affixes" like in PoE 1, like F-king reflect, No regeneration, that could instant kill your build.
Biggest one here is "temporal chain", yey, woooo, scary !

Being a steamer doesnt make you a good player, lol.
Sure there are some good ones, but also some average/bad ones.
And most of the steamers "feels" the need to play a high dps low def character to be impressive and make "good content", and that's a wrong way to see it.

You really are missing the point .

Noone said streamers are good players , i set it as an example for you to check out how often deaths happen without a player making a mistake .

White maps was a poetic exaggeration.

The fact is that you can have perfect gear and a white mob can still kill you from offscreen without you making any mistake .
There are a tons of non-telegraphed attacks as well .
Death and ground effects which you cant see under the delirium fog for example .

If i die 20 times to Malenia i have no problem with it because it is hard and i learn something on every occasion and practice .

Here you cant practice .
This game is not hard in any way . It's annoying at best

I usually don't complain and go with the flow.

A bunch of shit I like got nerfed? Oh well, I'll try something else and make it work.

But the last two days have been near unbearable for me.

Fought a rare today, that was double wisped and it dropped two magic items.

On a T15 map, moderately juiced.

And before anyone say "but loot filter". I also pressed ALT and there was no othe gear.

Fine, whatever.

But more importantly, for the last two days it's been constant, prolonged periods of massive ping spikes, from 40ms all the way up to 2k ms, up and down.

I don't get motion sickness in games, never have, but these ping spikes are causing it.

If this was an indie company with 1 dev running the servers from home i would say ok .
But the company has been running this for decades . I cant wrap my head around how they cant fix these performance issues even half a year after launch .

Honestly if for you "extra dmg" and "crit/atk speed" are crazy mods, i can't help you.
Keep dying, then ragequit when you have enough.

Who knows.

By that logic, you could say, "Characters with 1 max HP in Souls Games are ok because ppl can finish the game with no hit runs".

Like every game yeah.

1 week ago, Last Epoch got is 2nd major update and 150k players played it.
At the same moment, PoE2 got "only" 122k players.


Right now, LE got 84k and PoE2 77k.

Its like that, no new content = less players. Its normal.


And I totally disagree with all written here, specially with this false alarmful tone.
