Bestiary makes me hate this game

I initially was never catching beasts but eventually after hearing some streamers talk about how they liked bestiary I gave it a shot. I still don't like it though. But because of how lucrative it is, you feel forced to take part in it and try to play it even though you don't like the mechanic. It's just an awful feeling.

-Red beasts are ultra RNG gated. If you want to spawn a particular red beast, you'd think intuitively that running the tile set/area it spawns on could do the trick, but while yellow beasts do conform to this rule, red beasts do not. They're TOTALLY random. It's not like farming div cards where grinding a particular area will net you the item you want, but instead you need to aimlessly roam around in the game hoping/praying that the red beast you want at the ilvl you need happens to spawn because the stars aligned.

-Catching beasts sucks if you're using culling strike, it's just a mess to try to time your net so that it doesn't break, but you do enough DPS to catch it. There is no indicator that culling strike even works when the beast's health threshold is hit. You're effectively punishing every culling strike/high DPS build to have to buy/use necro nets.

-Menagerie has no access to stash. I'll be looking through recipes, get an idea for a craft and have to run all the way back to the WP to tp back to my hideout and check certain things on my items such as ilvl and prefix/suffix etc... It's super tedious and annoying.

-Beasts are overtuned. Beasts are stronger than map bosses in some cases, the regen will simply force you to run away if you don't have enough damage.

Overall, the reasons I do not find this mechanic fun at all is because it feels really random to obtain the components for your recipes if you do decide to play, information is not easily accessible within the game (I'm spending more time reading pages on wiki than the game itself), and the entire menagerie/beast crafting layout is super terrible.

I think if all of those issues are fixed, I can deal with bestiary, but if everything stays the same then that's really a shame because I think you're making this great game a lot worse for existing and new players.

yeah, it sucks. let's hope they fix as much as possible before they unleash it upon standard

Yo you two it's gone front news.

next league there will be monsters that die on sight, drop amazing loot just for you, require no tactics but just raw damage output and you can use any skill streamers recommend without having to think yourself.

speed is king. massive time investment is queen.



if poe had this type of userbase when it started they likely had to replace the skill tree with somethink less innovative too to avoid the shitstorm.

game would be long dead by now. like diablo 3. sometimes i think d3 didn't die because of bad itemisation or the real money shithouse but they employed a guy that catered to the user base too much instead sticking to their vision.

poe likely needs to go back niche or it will die in casualisation. or in too much useless items nobody wants or needs.

thought you played for your 40/40.

with roadkill nets you basically kill beasts and revive the few that are worth it. what did you do? playing without culling like those newbs who tried to get beasts cheap?

among all expansionary stuff and leagues, bestiary actually fitted into the game the best.

a overhaul would have been worth it, 3 types of nets, half the recipes, simplified monster descriptions, no beast types and we would have a option for players to specialise into beside lab or boss running.

killing bestiary is a costly mistake we all paid hard dollars for. i'm deeply disappointed.

D3 is dead?

I mean, it is dead to me: every time I try it again I last less and less time. I figure next Season I will just install it and immediately uninstall to get it over with. That is the final iteration, right?

But it ain't DEAD-dead. Regardless of whether you wish it so or not.

I am not sure how I feel about Bestiary being gone. Indifferent, I guess. Sad that GGG wasted all that time, effort and resource on a failed outing but I suppose you can't be successful every single time.

Maybe they can recycle the cages in the Menagerie into some sort of cage-match PVP map.
