landonmorris4673: Raxx's hoodie is hiding his Sharingan

Vib92-Fnz: I dont pretend to be a POE player and probably will never have a good enough understanding of the game to ever be good, but hearing them speak out regarding issues is how it should be in any game so thumbs up!

quipsilver: Glad to see this video. I personally adore the merc system, and I truly want it to make mainline after the league. I've seen folk like Darth getting one shot on a hardcore run, and I'd say that's a glaring issue, but I'm glad GGG are taking it seriously, because I want to see this system have a future. It adds such a cool dynamic and outside of the DDoS shenanigans I've really liked the league so far, and I'm really happy with Kingsmarch and the gold system making core.

kelxone: A year late & still bug infested release. People overhype these Devs in my opinion

ronuss: the quality in ggg of late has been on an all time low

LuiGuiShi: It's crazy to me how GGG keeps getting DDoS. In my 15 years in cyber security, I never even once was DDoS directly. Not once and I worked for some pretty big company. I know that it is possible (ofc), but I find it surprising that a fairly small and insignificant game would be attacked in a DDoS so strong that regular defense don't prevent it. It's just a bit sus to me that "it keeps happening".

SpidaaaMans: We need a kingsmarch guide plssss

panda93247: Watching Pohx's 90% Fire res RF Chieftain getting one-tapped by a fire ability was peak PoE content imo.

gregmashore4361: How about US servers?! The disconnects are terrible, I quit playing

80centjack: Raxx looking like phantom of the opera with the one eye covered hoodie look.

QQWoLPHie: This is the first time I got telbusa's or whatever that six link is called. I love the season

junk3996: 13 hrs to t16 is awesome!

i finished act 5 kitava after 15 hours.

there may be a couple dozen hrs of afk in there

rednab2001: The issue with the mercenaries one-shotting everyone is a "working as intended" mechanic by GGG. Don't fall for any GGG excuses on this. It is done on purpose to slap down the professional/no lifer player base in the first week of the league. We have seen this in many, many leagues. Metamorph league...instagib. Betrayal league...instagib. Almost every single league mechanic is purposely over tuned at league start. I have played over 20-plus leagues, and I can't think of a single time that GGG had to go in and make a league mechanic harder. Most leagues are also very under-rewarding at the start. Can't say that about the Mercenaries League. At least it seems appropriately rewarding.

On the bright side, I want to congratulate GGG on making a league mechanic that is actually beneficial for the more casual players. This is certainly not typical, and they need to be recognized when they do good.

marcfrancis7931: Raxx is always so polite in his videos.

romanpanaskin1852: Yes, please. Cover how you dealt with the squishiness of VoFS. Have the same issue - lots of dmg but can die way too often

landonperry9371: Mercs are amazing through the campaign and I was super digging them until they scaled with map mods now I don't even interact with them in T17s sadly

GrindinRyan: Mercenaries are sweet, I love that they give a reason to use a lot of the weird non-META uniques for nice support

CadorYT: All the videos you mentioned, progress, solving the defense issues, please make them

TheDAZ1001: t16 in 13hr's... That's insane! I'm barely in white maps after 30hrs

qneverc: 13 hours is solid af, something to be proud of for sure. Been playing since there were only 3 acts

MusaOsmanKaratosun: Not playing poe1 but still watching you. Thanks for video bro. Commenting to support have a nice farming session.

utmastuh: The console and EU server issues are preventing them from doing things that impact NA PC players, like OP mercs one shotting you in red maps.

BarryTGash: The problem the players face with these attacks is that the player feels punished. Several people got that magical divine drop during the campaign - me included (Act 6 - Twilight Strands fyi).

After a disconnect, loot is always rolled back. I know why - you can't trust client data to update the server. It could have been manipulated. I actually wonder if this is the real problem - DDoSing to try to manipulate inventories. The RMT market sure as shit didn't slow down.

Nonetheless, it feels horrible to be stripped of that small chunk of change that could have pushed your build into viable status with some gear investment.

blubaless: Using gold on Kingsmarch is infinitely worse than using gold to flip items through Faustus. It cannot compare, Kingsmarch is in a really bad spot.

TheMaw365: I have mana reservation issues on my build atm. Found a mercenary with haste which is saving my butt atm. That being said they aren't particularly useful in boss fights but gives the boss a giant HP boost so kind of a pain there.

JBX5677JB: My character is level 96 in SSF, very much a beast of a character. I don't remember the last time my health bar even dropped below 50% in 100% quant T16 maps. I ran a T3 with ZERO MODS! I just wanted to quickly farm a little bit of harvest juice. I saw a merc that had like 8 chaos in their bag. It was a sanguinemancer that killed me in less than a second. There are some seriously overtunned mercs. These need like a 75% damage nerf.

meganesenpai: Yeah some merc is definitely busted rn. I have a RF chieftain, 89% all res, 4.5k HP, 4k armor got 1-shotted by a fire spell caster merc at map t9.

Also not only EU server has problem. I'm playing on Singapore server, rubberbanding is terrible, ping jumps to 300 , sometimes disconnect and some character progression got wiped and I had to replay the last 10 mins or so. Very terrible, especially it happens after I got some god-tier gears.
