Who designed Trial of Chaos?

[Ezekiel Rage]

It's not the difficulty it's the boss that is the problem.
So the whole trial is a slog, it's not fun, and then you finally get to the boss and the boss plays peek a boo with you?!?!?
What are we 12?
The boss appears attacks and you can get one maybe two hits in and then the boss flies away and you have to go looking for it?
WHY?

I have been told for a decade now that PoE is the the to plau if you like ARPG's.
Foe over a decade I have been pestered by PoE Fanbois of this franchise, they are like vegans, if you mention that you like ARPGG then they will immedietly go "OHMYGODYOUHAVETOPLAYPATHOFEXILEITSTHEBESTGAMEINTHEUNIVERSEDIABLOCANGOANDDIE!"
I feel that I have been lied to all these years.

Oh well I'm off to pay to win a new build, one of those cheese builds that makes the game feel like you are playing with weemod on, because that is apparently how the Devs wants us to play the game.
Not playing for fun only for profit.

just wait until you get to the trial where you need to beat three different bosses. enjoy

Well.... I died like 15 times to the Trial of Chaos boss... did i started crying? No! Leveled up more, got a few better items for increase defence and attack and than killed it at the first try with the new equip! That's the game, you can't do something? get levels and equip and come back later!

I agree its not fun when you are losing. However, I'm so thankful this game does not hold your hand and every fight is just tank and spank. This game at times can force you to be better, you may need to return once your toon is more powerful. Too many games these days are catered to hold hands and give away wins....this game success is earned, not handed out like a participation trophy. Dying is just a part of the game and should be expected.

I am older and don't consider myself a fanboi of anything, I believe in hard work and this game pays off. If your at a wall, chances are you are doing it wrong but it doesn't mean you have to start another character over. I play solo, lvl 74, only one character made, no guides used.....my only rule i use is have fun or quit. You have to have the fortitude to get punched in the face and get up and find a new better path in this game...either that or go to the forums and scream, shout and cry why everyone should quit this game because you don't like it...

I don't know who has "told you things for the last 10 years" but consider maybe finding a new source to listen too, If you are getting pestered just stop listening or block them, think for yourself, form your own opinions, who cares what anyone says or thinks....if its fun play it, if it isn't don't...eff everyone who tells you what to think.

The Chimera is probably the easiest of the 3 bosses while the bird is extremely overtuned. I can get 1 shot as a level 86 when helping with the 2nd ascendancy if I get clipped by the tornado while doing T13 juiced/corrupted maps I have no issues. That's with level scaling turned off.

But his complaint was that it's not fun. It wasn't about the difficulty.

Got o the bird.

One-shot thing with the bird's attack here as well.

It has to stop.

Blackfist. Viper. This bird.

It ruins the game.

SSF mode needs a bit of tuning IMO. Let the no-lifers have their own 'trade to win' mode.

Let us 'SSF people' have our version of thing, where there are no one-shots 'because gear'.

NEVER STOP THAT GRIND ! WHO'S GONNA CARRY THE BOAT ? AND THE LOGS !

Me. I felt like the game needed a "spirit check" instead of the usual, DPS, HP etc check for progression.

What's a spirit check you ask? A check of your human spirit irl.

today i was fighting the chimera at 3º ascendancy last room, the boss was with literally 1 hp left, i got near it to finish the battle and used 2 skills and no damage was done while the boss was using the cold attack and for some reason it was on invincible mode and freezed me and i died, the game is full of bugs and it's becoming annoying at end game.

right now im looking for another game to play because i lost all the desire to play poe 2

From a badly designed boss to a rant about PoE’s reputation.
Is everything alright at home?
