Archaic mechanics need to go

[Lahoo Eckbert]

Go back to town to fill flasks ? Need to talk to an npc to respec passives ? These are just chores that contribute nothing to the game. Also waiting for a res is just too redundant.

Agreed on the flask thing. Needs to be filled easier just by killing stuff.

Respec I'm kinda indifferent on, but yea, doesn't really need to be a town npc.

The resurrect feature could use some tweaks. I feel like only big hits should stop you from resurrecting. Ground dots and stuff shouldn't stop the res. You get in situations where you can just never res somebody because there's a ground DoT effect on them that lasts for ages or even sometimes the rest of the fight.

Flasks are refilled by killing mobs and at checkpoints
Actually agree about respec, it's just a pointless action
When do you have to wait for a res tho? D: in co-op?

Yes in Coop Boss Battles, you need to either wait to be ressed or your party to wipe :)

yes in coop you can res your friend in combat but it has a 4-6 second long animation that gets reset when taking dmg so pretty sure thats where its from

Oh gotcha
Considering that solo you're just dead, that's more than generous already, no idea what op even wants here

Complaining because you have to click 1 button to go to town then to click the dude that respecs. omg sooo much work. God you people are lazy, complain about the dumbest crap, just go back to D4 where everything is spoon fed. God forbid you spend 10 more seconds to get your passives respecced. As for flasks they refill when you kill enemies and hit check points, not sure why you feel you should be spoon fed more.

Eh, I mean, that IS pointless
Make it out of combat, it already costs money, that's enough
(I don't have free space on SSD, so HDD loading screens take some time and it actually is a chore, especially in act 3 vaal dungeon, where you have twice the loading screens even)
It doesn't make you a better player to wait for some pointless things, hence redundant

Flask are filled by killing mobs , my experience is vastly different, not every kills adds to the flask quite often I have had to kill more than a handful of mobs to get it to start filling.

Perhaps the mechanic is a bit buggy currently but I miss POE1 flasks a lot, this new setup sucks as it seems to be heavily reliant on the server actually registering your kills fast enough through lag.

Is this Diablo ?

No then why in hell should I need to go back to town to refill flasks, POE 1 never required this asinine mechanic.

The flask are refilled while killing mobs...

There's literally a checkpoint before every boss and some of them around each map
How much more handholding do you need here

Its not bloody handholding to want asinine mechanics removed that add ZERO to the game play, handholding would be having a tutorial stop my game play to tell me how to use a flask.

Oh wait .. it does that ♥♥♥♥ along with other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ handholding

That said Checkpoints are handholding for people who dont want to run back, the portal button is handholding so they could remove portal scrolls for people who dont want to collect them.

This is not Diablo and they need to stop adding Diablo mechanics.

Actually you can't res outside the boss as well. No idea if it was intended or not but I have to wait for my mates to res me when I die. And sometimes it takes a minute or so. It's just torture.

It has nothing to do with being lazy. It's called efficiency. It's a quality of life change that would make things a lot more efficient.
