Day 2-Posting until Shrike Island's trypophobia is fixed

Please, I'm not the only one, there have been at least a few more posts before me mentioning this just search the word "trypophobia". (In the forum I mean not google) However since I was directed here by support after my plea to any dev, post I shall.

Others' posts-

The egg holes are just nests, so please just make them regular stick nests, or anything else but holes in the ground. And the boss arena is the worst part! At least before that there is about a third of the zone "inside" where I can finally look at my screen normally.

Please, I love the Idea and thematic of the zone. But its making me rethink leveling alts again in the future, I can barely get through it once by staring intently at the minimap and zoning out the main area. As a dev do you really want someone to intentionally look away from your work? Every other PoE 2 zone I'm super engrossed in :(

Anyways. I'm going to keep making a new post every day until I see a change made in game, or miraculously I get a reply.

P.S.-Other same hole formations exist. One of them I found next to the Beckoning Clam in the Singing Caverns, as well as a report here about the Limestone hideout of similar zone type https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3676194

They are well aware of trypophobia. They even designed monsters in PoE1 specifically around that concept (Pocked Miner and friends in Act IV mines). So I don't think they'll change anything.

I think arachnophobia is more widespread, and yet in pretty much any ARPG you'll get spiders.

And if the devs avoided all things that some people have a phobia about, it would look very weird indeed. If it was at all possible.

Arachnophobia can get triggered with spiders on screens, but i think thats only the case in extreme cases.

For Trypophobia its not the case. It triggers regardless. So it might not be so much more widespread.

yeah this was my first thought when i saw shrike island. seems like a reasonable request. i dont have trypophobia or anything but im sympathetic.

Tropophobia triggered like mad on this tile set. So far i've been able to avoid the instances of it here and there but its impossible on this map. I mean, unless making someone nauseous is what they're going for then... 10/10. Would want to throw up again A+++

How many times you think this has been brought up over 13 years?

As another said above -- GGG is NOT sympathetic, they in fact design things like this on purpose to fuck with the players by design. Intentionally.

This may have just been a mistake this time, but with other phobias they have no qualms triggering people by design and ON PURPOSE.

They have gotten this type of request for years -- they couldn't care less.

I swear they love doing this on purpose to fuck with us... With POE 1 I could mostly ignore it, like with the pocked miners, they're small enough on screen I can just not look at them while breezing through the area, but they really ramped it up with POE 2. In Shrike island they're putting these nests in elevated areas so they're super prominent on your screen and impossible to avoid, like why??

I am 100% sure Jonathan would giggle like a little happy girl whilst reading your post.

Try Minecraft Dungeons. It suits you more i think.
