I revisited Grim Dawn and brought something back

I think I isolated one major cause why player power is so absurd right now.

We don't ever get surrounded.

In Grim Dawn I get constantly swarmed.

A gate locks behind me and there's no way to go or I approach a big enemy and 30 minions spawn in my back.

After playing PoE for the past months I almost forgot how dynamic the player-monster-interaction actually usually is.

All there seems to be in PoE right now is move, kill, move, kill.

At no point do I have to reposition, adapt to a new situation or anything.

Have you tried the DAIL mod on the highest setting? Things get crazy, and it spanws like three of every boss.

Yup, I did play DAIL on S setting. (is that the highest?)

There's a small plateau north of the Burrwitch portal where 9 heroes sit spamming lightning and ice storms, my pets die in seconds. ;)

I get surrounded on my melee builds when there are 2 damage mods and I have no problem surviving on T15...

Aha, I'm only playing "easy faceroll trash content." T15 3+ damage mod or T16+ 2+ damage mod is the only content anyone cares about!

Do monsters ever spawn in our backs or approach from an unpredictable location? (a wall opens up and 30 skeletons come out)

Everything feels 100% predictable when the combat starts, if we get surrounded it's just because we lack damage not because something surprising happened.

Sorry I am having a hard time expressing what I actually mean. ;)

Pretty much Water Elementals. In that case, I agree: Drop Bear and Devourer pack size needs to be increased dramatically, plus Beyond portals should also spawn 20 additional white monsters other than just the 3 magic + 1 rare.

wait, that last one might be a balance issue. Hmm....... nerf players, too?

please never be game designers

Dude, you did probably 5 t15+ maps and now you're everywhere spewing your nonsense
