yes, but with a caveat. you only kill the ancients once per difficulty level, and the encounter rewards an actual character level, stats and skill point. it’s not a farmable encounter. it’s supposed to be a test not just of how well you can play the game in general, but also a test of how well you can build your character. failing that, you can always grind chaos sanctuary until the high 80s in character level and just overpower the encounter
no, but with a caveat. i like cows just fine the way they are for the most part, with only elites and uniques having immunities in there. HOWEVER, i wish they’d add some horadric cube spawn mechanics to let you buff the cows by adding runes or gems in with wirt’s leg and the tome of town portal to make it spawn tougher cows with various aspects. like throw a few perfect rubies in there and get fire cows, emeralds and get poison cows, etc. maybe use one of each pGem and get chaos cows where every pack of cows is randomized with some sort of effect, with rune and unique/set drop rates increased accordingly.
the thing about immunities is that removing them would simplify the game. it’s already not that complicated, and it’s not a very long game in and of itself. none of the immunities are game-breaking, and almost all of them are avoidable or can be planned around.
I like the immunities so it forces you to decide how to split your damage outputs. What I don’t like is how so many builds are based off of act 4 being mostly fire immune. Hammer is so good because it skips 99% of this immune problem.
Solution: more special guys that have auras that cause the immunity with being able to tell Mercs what minion to attack. That way the base immunity of all minions is just resistances.
Actually you dont need a hdin , a infinty sorc to kill everything in game. A WW barb is perfectly capable of doing that with its one point wonders. Same as any smiter/zealot, same with any assassins , java zon, bow zon , summon necro, poison necro , bone necro. Every class can do it with ease if you know how to build your character. Except you dont, you just go waa immunity and bang your head at the wall and hope it passes.
Hell, you dont even need to duel spec for 9/10 classes. Learn to play the game. Plenty of one point wonders that gets you just as far without an infinty or a hdin.
That’s the bias of fearing worse and not being smart enough to think further
If you replace immunity with super resistant monsters… the game isn’t easier… it’s quite the opposite, monsters become tankier but can get killed rather than skipped
I never abandon threads, it’s the stupid forum system that doesn’t allow bumping when it gets buried
You talk about some kind of super resistance. Its already in game, some monsters are highly resistant.
And some immunities can be broken
I have to say that I dont like the poll
You asked in certain way to get negative answers. I would see it as manipulated poll to for your narrative
Its like asking : is paying taxes fun? in order to decide if you keep or remove taxes. of course its not fun but that doesnt mean same person would answer same on question: should paying taxes stay? Is it something our society should have?
Immunities are fine. Unbreakable immunities are not. A fire sorc with the best gear an infinity Merc should be able to break those. Doesn’t mean they break them to 0%, but how about breaking them to 70% or something? Resistances and even immunities make the game fun and varied, but having tons of double immune, non-breakable enemies is annoying. One of my few complaints I have always had with DII.
It’s a video game mate… fun should be the main lens on which to analyse stuff
Also… no… there isn’t a super resistant mechanic in the game… super resistant is where monsters resist are capped before 100% and get life% buff in exchange of overcapped resistances
i’m not acting “tough”. i’m calling you out on being BAD AT THE GAME. for GETTING STUCK. there’s a difference.
just because i know how to farm the game properly, doesn’t mean i waste all day and night doing it, it makes me knowledgeable. something you could LEARN from. but no, you’d rather call me names. LOL. stay bad. kid.
i make so much money at my job and i have A LOT of free time to play video games when i’m not at work. it’s nice.
