TC, Chilled or Tar in every damn map, Why?

I love how people here complain about the clear speed meta but then also complain about anything that slows them down.

Are they the same people?

Or you expect thousands of forum posters to think with one mind?

Or you are amused by perfectly normal occurrences?

I, too, sometimes admire the beauty of the mundane. Have you ever stared at a dripping faucet? The way the drop morphs, blobs, then finally detaches from its latest home - it is just mesmerizing. Everyday, completely expected events - beautiful!

A lot of the time yes they are, which is why I find it funny. They complain about the fast meta but then seem to hate anything currently in the game that slows one down.

Tar zombies - the most dangerous enemy in PoE. As they can literally make you uninstall.

I typically just ignore the ground effects, however I cannot disagree that they are far too widespread. Most notably, the static fields, wherein you take extra damage, seem like they cover >50% of a map.

I liked the suggestion to increase the effects considerably and reduce the spread, very supportive of that!

Fascinating, I've never seen anyone like that.

More on topic:



all problems solved

Leave the speed meta alone, it's not the reason why these exist.

There are two independent vectors:

1. the accumulation of power creep over time
2. the developer approach to add game longevity through slowing down the player

The rule is: the less game content you have, the more of these encounters you add.
The current state of PoE got nothing to do with these slow effects. It's even contradictory - you throw in more and more power creep resulting in higher clear speed, you don't take any steps to control both AS/MS (overall speed), but at the same you keep these effects in game.

First, the end result is it's utterly frustrating - like driving a sports card with handbrake on. Second - these are also poorly implemented. And most of all - they are outdated.

PoE is up to a state, where player power can be fairly controlled only by difficulty (besides the regular nerfs), but not by idiotic and annoying lazy tricks. You use these in your game while in beta.

Since everyone runs at 100%+ its natural for ggg to balance things out by plaguing each map with temp chains and chilled effect.. :D Tar is the best thou! :D

If anyone would just run at 20% on tar+temp chains.. try it!

As I see it, the biggest problem with Tar is when Zana has a timed mission. But I would not object to less ground coverage for all of the shock, chilled, fire and tar.
