Group Play scaling feedback and an annoying bug in Boss Maps.
Greetings Exiles,
I've decided to write this in hopes that someone from GGG will eventually see it and either decide to do something about it or at least give us some feedback so we know where we stand. I've been playing with my buddy since 0.1 and we are, or actually were, having a blast. But the problem is that the scaling especially in endgame, and as the game stands now after the 0.2 nerfs in player's damage output is, to put it mildly, discouraging. I get the feeling that no matter the group size, the game always scales everything as if a full group. T15 map bosses go from a couple mil HP to 15-20mil hp in duo play. We played the full campaign in a duo composition, at the very start of the league where things were way harder than now, and it took us like a week. No boss was less than a 20-40 min battle but it was still kinda fun. Now coming to the endgame, things are awful, to the point we are seriously considering of quitting altogether. We have solo cleared all content, no problem in any T4 pinnacle bosses, and yet we die or run out of time in T3 Xesht as duo. We just want to play with our friends, what's so wrong about that? It feels like we are punished for having friends we want to play with? And before anyone says get good or your build sucks, or you need to synergize your builds, none of the above statements apply. We do know how to play, got a couple thousand hours each under our belt already, I have 4x 90+ chars and I'm currently playing as an Amazon and my buddy as Titan. And to synergize my build with his, I went full on Gas Arrow so we make things go boom rather easily. here's what I'm currently rocking as of right now. https://poe2.ninja/pob/85f1 And this is my second character in this league, we started me as a Chaos Lich and him as a lightning arrow Deadeye, and we thought it might be the classes so we re-rolled like a week ago and tried again. Nope it still sucks. I really enjoy playing with my buddies and got so used to it, that especially now that we are well into the league and have run out of content to run, I'm bored of playing solo and if I have to, then I'll just have to wait for the next league and find something else to kill my time in between, but I'd rather not to. Please try to keep this post civilized, it's not the typical whining crybaby post that demands everything handed to me in a platter, I was actually one of the few that really enjoyed the upped difficulty of this league, to a point that I "hated" all the nerfs post launch to it and the uber buffs to the lightning spear "community", and hence why I refused to play as such. I don't want to go play another game, I love PoE 2 and I have invested shitloads of time to just let go. I don't want anything changed, I don't want it easier, I just want it to scale properly in party so I can play with my buddies. And some adjustments not to run the game at close to 0 fps while we are partying would also be nice. Now for the bug I encountered, and I hope it is a bug and not intended cause if it is, well **** off. A few minutes ago, I'm running with my buddy a supper juiced Savannah with breach and boss. Used my best waystone in it with all prefixes, 25+ quantity, 80+ rarity, magic monsters, pack size, delirium, the lot. We start clearing and realize it has like 5 breaches at least in, half way through. We find the boss in our way so we are like ok let's kill the fucker and continue with the map. Half way through his 20mil HP I get one shotted and I respawn back to the checkpoint only to find my self in the starting checkpoint of the map, and the map void of everything asides the boss. I mean, all mobs, breaches etc Thank you for putting up with my rant and /discuss! 最後にスレッドがバンプされた時間 時刻 2025/05/25 18:42:50

Oh forgot to mention, party member collision is annoying af! As if there isn't enough shit going on on the screen as it is, we have to bump to eachother and get stuck in doors? At one instance he litterally got stuck inside my character while I was afk after a leap slam or shield charge or something or another and couldnt get out till I came back and moved my character.
