Man, seeing crit damage resistance, cold damage, frozen enchanted, drifting shade or melee defenders just immediately gets it thrown out
These affixes that range from getting CC’d repeatedly over and over into every elite pack, having your damage arbitrarily reduced because ‘lmao rng’ or a combination of any of them (especially cold damage+frozen elites) just feels bad
drifting shade and lightning storm becomes an absolute hellscape the second you put a group together
would rather see stuff like more champion mobs over something like melee defenders, drifting shade just… not exist in the current way it does, and lightning storm to give everyone their own pikachu
would also like cold damage and cold enchanted elites to not compound and just freeze you immediately, or have DRs put into the game
there are ways to increase difficulty, but these just seem like pointlessly annoying additions intended to provide suffering, not challenge
I routinely throw out certain sigil combinations because it makes the attempt 3X as hard for no additional benefit.
CC in general needs to be fixed for this game. No diminishing returns is wild. The ability to get CC’d from full to death is wild.
The cold/frozen CC is a bit much. It’s one thing to have one elite in a mob with cold/freeze dmg, but when you have 5, 6, 7 of them all at once is a tad overboard. Come out of freeze on one, BOOM!, insta-freeze from the next. And not like the cold resist elixir does a damn bit of good, either.
I appreciate a challenge, but damn near impossible is aggravating, to say the least.
a snake people dungeon with cold enchanted+frozen elites is the same as turning your monitor off every 5 seconds for 3 seconds at a time
exact same gameplay experience
if you want to play almost literally blind, throw a drifting shade in, and you don’t even have to turn off your monitor to simulate the hyperbole anymore
it’ll just happen
this is almost satire but it almost isn’t
