About those spires

Expecting us to kill mobs inside the spires? Why? Do you guys want to ruin the game?

Try doing hordes with a hydra build or any build with aoe and see how much fun you’ll have, just lovely.

Just remove them or revert them back where you don’t have to kill the mobs inside.

As it stands now they are the worst thing of this season.

i average 1300 going with spires…

We heard you like spires, especially on ranged or minion classes, so we made it so more spires spawn on top of your spires so you can spire while you spire. Enjoy.

Personally, I found this very inSPIREing.

The problem is waiting on monsters to walk into them. Fix that. You’ve fixed spires. Make monsters aggressive towards spires.

They want to be in the spires. They need to be in the spires.

You seem keen to point this out.

Solo or group?

What build?

Even with a melee focused build that handles spires well I don’t like 'em. I always seemingly have chains on cool down when I need it.

Generally speaking I can run to the far side of the spire dropping an earthquake and then chain everything in. When it works I’ll pop the spire instantly, but when it DOESN’T work it’s now a game of “don’t do anything till enough stuff gets close enough” which is annoying since the timer is ticking down.

It wouldn’t bother me much at all if I could just make another compass and go again but I’ve got the worst luck finding them.

Oops! All Spires!

they did this with spires just to distract everyone from the fact that the highlight of their game and theme of their season is literally to stand in 1 room for dozens and dozens of hours. finish your season journey and go back to poe2 or whatever other games you play.

Evade SB and solo.

The thing with spires, and it has been like this since the introduction:

Just move as close as possible to the wall where the spire is. all the monsters will spawn inside the ring and you will make every single spire in 1-3 seconds.

with the new boons you make like 20-25 per spire in 3 seconds or less.

so i dont see any problem with it

No dude.
They’d have to work on monster AI, it’s much harder than you think.
How about… Remove spires? That’s a much easier fix.

Feels good to be melee, they come me. More spires please, yall damn casters can’t have everything, with your screen clears.

Did 2 8-wave compasses with my son tonight. I was running Hydra, he was running Ball Lighting.

Got really lucky on the first one and made it to 800-ish aether. We had 2 chaos wave spawns that helped with it.

The second one, we barely pulled 450.

Mind you, we were deleting the entire screen 100% of the time.

This crap is broken. Please fix it.

They can have zombies crawl up from the ground when spires spawn then. Imps can fall from the ceiling.

Some of the seasonal events have spire like structures that instantly fill with monsters. They can do that.

when players complain about spires, devs know they have nailed it right, because players hate restrictions and delays, but they appear to be beneficial to the game as spires drag players longer.

so, besides intensified the Infernal Horde spires, devs even overwhelmingly integrated spires into the chaos rift of seasonal content, decision that only benefiting themselves.

I’m sorry but Spires is genuinely annoying me on what is otherwise an enjoyable update to Infernal Hordes.

Either change it so kills outside the circle still count, or don’t force them so often when people are selecting other events. If I’ve selected 4 mass offerings, why am I getting an entire wave of nothing but spires? Then, you get 3 choices and all of them are spires.

I’ve otherwise really enjoyed the changes they made to Infernal Hordes, Masses seem more enjoyable, and spires could be tolerable if they removed the circle limitation for the kill count.

i just took the option 5 times for less chance at a spire and all 4 nodes popped as a spire in the infernals. I think its opposit day, i also did a pit 10 and attempted to level up a fresh glyph that said 100% chance and i failed that twice too

So hordes are not easy anymore???
Too bad…

Bli$$, keep’em coming…
