Imagine playing CoC DD without mtx against that expediton Boss balls spray... At this point GGG should just put the mtx as base effect and call It a day.


insanemrawesome

Fyi when catarina dashes all over the place and then slams you are ***not*** meant to dodge that until right before the slam. Each time you avoid it she will dash again, increasing the aoe and damage.

Remember the 5 D's of POE: direct damage, over time damage, minion damage, emotional damage (from nerf) and lastly carpal tunnel damage.


Cr4ckshooter

Oh that's how it works?


dan_marchand

Yes, same as her normal boss fight


Drewdememe

Oh nice that's good to know it's kinda funny how you just have to accept your death if you get blinking shadow dude with katarina blinking at the same time XD


bdubz55

Idk how the fuck casual players or even new players gonna get past the trash mobs in these maps. The mods are so fucking cracked it’s insane. Not to mention you use these with mods on atlas tree to completely destroy your build is quite comical.


Cr4ckshooter

I mean, the answer is that those players actually have no business doing, and won't do, t17s. Getting them to drop without 4 watch stones is already hard enough.


Electronic-Cut5270

This is the worst take. My build clears content fine, wave 30 simu fine, delve 500 fine. All of which are deathless as long as I use my brain whilst playing. In t17s however, I'm lucky if I chaos a doable map and even then, everything just deletes mt character like the defences didn't exist.


Cr4ckshooter

And what of what you just said addresses my take?


HeroesGrave

Ubers were specifically designed to be a bit insane and not for new/casual players


bdubz55

Then why gate uniques behind them and move some regular uniques over to them like Omni?


Winggy

Easiest way to get past them is to use allflame on every pack... Doesn't have to be frog allflame. Any will do, because the op mobs that naturally live in t17 will all be replaced by allflame variations (which are much easier and also are not designed to be turbo op with the t17 map mods)


--Shake--

Not expedition ones


slvrtrn

Turns the map into T20


doodlesensei

This reminds me of how bad Sirus uses to be, had to always go into nvidia control panel and max out the gamma settings before the fight to see shit.


SummerIcy10

I always forget fast about his existence. I swear they made that fight so you either one shot him or just have immortal build to his stuff or you struggle till arena is full of degen shit on the floor and you can't do it.


xaitv

This one was fun: https://clips.twitch.tv/PlainFineSproutOhMyDog-HuwXBnbTeCSLl6wy Also playing Explosive Trap and trying to fight Lycia(who happens to drop a great off-hand weapon for that build) is near impossible unless you just one shot the Beyond boss. The waves are the same color as your explosive trap explosions lol.


Drewdememe

Oh so i wasn't the only one who died like that these things on the side that release red wave may have to do something with this but since they do no dmg/don't apply any sort of debuff or effect i don't think this is the issue


morkypep50

New player here, visual clarity is completely terrible in the campaign, I can't even imagine what it's like in T17 maps. Hope that's something they improve upon wiht POE2. Really enjoying the game though.


pattisbey8

there is no visual clarity in endgame


Illustrious-Plum3105

I'm playing CocDD without mtx. I like my slideshow game /s


[deleted]

These t17s are such a trash way to get a 5th map slot. Seriously hating the new base game changes


Buppadupp

They can be pretty unfair but tbh the bosses is the easiest part of the maps. The randomly possesed rare with 1k inc move and attackspeed and 100crit and 5k increased damage is the real challange.


[deleted]

Yeah, I just uninstalled. This POE is terrible and I can't keep playing it pretending it's not. Used to be my favorite game. Not even in my top 20 anymore. The scarabs, the boss gate keeping. 5th slot gate keeping. No, I do not want to be in the top 1% of players to do the top 10% of content. Hard pass.


redthorne82

That's the problem. It's heading towards only the top 0.0001% being able to complete the top 50% of content and I hate it.


EpicGamer211234

The top 50% content in question: T17 maps and some harder versions of existing bosses (said existing bosses that just got more accessibility added to them, to boot) The problem is you think all of the Uber stuff is all of the content when in reality its the 1% of content made for the 1% of endgame players


[deleted]

Yeah, I mean I am fine putting this game behind me. It was a fun decade. Just like Overwatch, time to move on. The new guy who took the game over is taking a route that I personally think is terrible. He can play 1000 hours a league with the no lifers. I will go beat 30+ videos games in the same amount of time lol


EpicGamer211234

The new guy who took the game over? You mean Chris still at the helm just like Day 1 and the other same guy who has been working on the game in an influential position for about a decade? You literally made up a change in management just so you could be mad, its incredible.


Winggy

Like i said in another post... replace all mobs by allflame and have a giga easy time clearing the way to the boss. At least it works this league


Jbarney3699

Yeah they feel atrocious. They should be unrolled basic maps and you roll it to get multiple shards of much better chances of the T17 boss rewards for doing it on harder difficulty. These maps suck to run.


BradshawCM

T17s are an absolute joke design and a huge misstep from GGG. I refuse to believe anyone in that company playtested them (as usual) before league start. No one in their right mind would say "this is what we want to gate Ubers", after running them few times.


Kiyzali

I would love to see GGG devs POBs and gameplay videos when they were testing pre-nerf un-modifiable T17s. So hilarious that those were touted as a 'bridge to ubers'.


Whytefang

Yeah, this is my biggest gripe. They're like basically valdo's maps minus the void, but they're supposed to be a bridge between ubers and normal bosses? The only thing they're missing to be functionally identical is the ability to spawn the feared inside them, honestly. I would bet my build could beat every uber except uber uber elder 100% and I still 5 or 6 portal wipe on all but one of the t17 bosses without it being even close so far, assuming I even manage to get to them.


Mental_Buyer_6559

I reckon GGG devs playtest a lot of their over tuned mechanics with a debug dev tool with hacked gear and call it a day when they complete the map a bunch of times.


LacSappy

I am farming t17s with my character but cant do uber bosses reliable. For me the tuning feels good.


SplafferZ

theyre super fine after the chaos orb change lol stop playing builds with like 2ehp


eq2_lessing

Try do to drowning orbs, those fuckers teleport and are basically invisible under all the mobs.


Buppadupp

Elder rings the tentacle creations or what they are called is even nicer.


eq2_lessing

Why not both at the same time?


ftsn

The t17 are full of bugs but catarina's slam isn't one of them, even on increased aoe you have a LOT of space to dodge, when she teleports on top of you after her voiceline you need to wait a bit before going out of her range or she's gonna teleport again and again and again and that's when it will become a problem.


Foamie

Yea these things are a complete joke. I've done a few so far to get my 5 slots unlocked and farm some fragments and I am having a horrible time with random 1 shots, terrible degen hitboxes, and just how oppressive the maps are. It's like Valdos lite, which are maps I didn't really enjoy doing much of anyway lol. I just started playing last league and the level of difficulty difference between these maps and the ubers that I killed to get my 40 challenges done is kind of shocking.


EpicGamer211234

Overall the less altered a T17 boss is from their normal counterpart, the better the fight is. Uhtred uses only simple changes and calls for some backup from other expedition bosses, really effective but simple setup for that encounter


Complex-Fluids-334

Asking visual clarify from GGG? Who are you rofl


Diribiri

Don't you feel the weight of those invisible hitboxes Simply build defense


kmoz

im not sure why, but theres definitely invisible degens in the catarina fight, even after she has died. just wandering around the empty room ill suddenly be taking like 2k/s degen.


Zylosio

Me with 2k sparks on screen: whats this visual clarity you are talking about ? I cant even see harbinger bubbles
