June 24, 20187 yr I'm playing in potd with scaling option enabled. The number of enemies on screen are too many. It's just crazy. It makes the battle unmanageable. I can't even see where are my party characters are. So Obsidian, you gimped the sound effects, you gimped the visual effects and you reduce 1 party character. You solve nothing on combat clarity. I would suggest you tone down the number of enemies on screen and increase the HP and ranks of said enemies instead. I'm not sure if it's game engine issue. With that huge amount of mobs on screen the game performance suffer. I play other ARPG like diablo and grimdawn where they have huge amount of enemies on screen, but there's no such performance issue.
June 24, 20187 yr Somehow i expected that reduction in number of units will only affect players. I'm playing in potd with scaling option enabled. How original! Vancian =/= per rest.
June 24, 20187 yr Author i actually find the number of mobs fine but due to performance issue and visual clarity it makes combat difficult to manage. with all those very cool weapons that does aoe damage having lots of mobs are fun. wondering if it's game engine issue or was it 3D issue? honestly i think the game should go full 3D since there's alot of the in game assets are actually 3D. the only 2D were static background. having the ability to rotate the screen i think it really helps.
June 24, 20187 yr Maybe they can fix the performance and keep the hordes of enemies. I liked that in PoE PotD. Sometimes I entered an area and forgot I was in PotD, until a raging crowd attacked me.
June 24, 20187 yr Nah, it's fine. They should be fixing combat clarity and performance, not getting rid of challenging enemy mobs.

June 24, 20187 yr don't think the number of ennemie is the issue (at least not to me) . Homewhever a better camera is what I need ! let me zoom further sheesh! Use the console command: SetZoomRange 0.5 2.0 You will have to experiment according to your preference. I'm playing with 0.2 4.0 iirc. The default is 0.75 1.5 (or at least it was in PoE1)

June 24, 20187 yr It changes how far in and out you can zoom. The smaller number is how close you can get, the larger number is how far away. Full instructions: press ~ (under the Esc key on most keyboards) and then type SetZoomRange 0.5 2.0 and then press Enter Edited June 24, 20187 yr by house2fly

June 24, 20187 yr I actually don't remember the values I'm using, but I think it's the limit. I can zoom out and see my whole ship. And zoom in very close to the characters. I think it's 0.2 4.0.
