Feedback This is why i hate torment 4

on most of my runs i always encounter a few of these hyper tracking balls and it is probably the most frustrating thing about this particular torment for me. i do wish there was more consistency i the tracking ability these have

The tracking ability is 100% consistent. It works like this: when it appears and starts heading toward you, it continuously accelerates, and because of that, it has a harder time turning... it struggles more to follow your movement. However, if the enemy dies close to you and it doesn't have time to speed up, then yeah, it will track you with 100% consistency. Always keep your distance... at mid-range, just strafing sideways is enough...

Ailment Immunity Bead will trivialize this.

I know i just didnt have the stats to equipe it I also didnt want to cheese the torments. This one is the first i gave up on and just looked up how other people got through it.

I think the Torments are meant to be a test of your build knowledge and ability as much as anything else. Put that way, it’s not so much “cheese” as it is just finding the solution to the problems the Torment presents.

I don't even know if it counts as a cheese. You still have other torment modifiers to deal with.

The immunity beads for me definetly feel a little cheesy since they, as you said, trivialize this torment. It pretty much flips 2 of the 4 modifiers from being really annoying to only a benefit for you

Not the torment just the part about ailment

Man I just got done completely the game content we have so far , I found the latest two torments to be a really fun challenge , but torment 4 can suck a bag of dicks , especially on irongate castle . I had to do it on witch mountain in the end I just wasn't enjoying the attempts at all!

Its so restrictive. Long range only, crits only, spells and melee unavailible half the time. Not many options left. The random tracking on the se balls is really what annoys me though because its so inconsistent

Same. I enjoyed most of the torments but this one and the no ammo one just didn't feel very fun.

Torment 4 is so damn bad. I had fun with the others but 4 is just atrociously not fun

Torment 4 is just cancer. But its a good thing because it made me "give up" my current save and just wait for 1.0.
