Damn, these "you shouildn't play roguelikes" comments... I'm not gonna use this mod because the only thing I would maaaaybe be interested to remove are the worms that walk. But first purpose of a game is having fun.
If people having fun without rares, so what? There is no big prize money, no leaderboards, and add-ons are featured on player sheets on the TOME website.

Seriously, what's wrong with you? It's just hustle culture inserted in GAMES, precisely something that is supposed to let people blow steam off and relax.

How about you all relax?

@Your King: LMAO. So true. I'm getting close to rage-quitting this game

Is this good on the current version?(I just bought it so IDK when it last updated...)

Its a poison Ivy Bush. It used shoot. Then used Spellblaze?! Exactly my experiance with rares XD

Continue from below... Also so far I have never ben underleveled secondly most pinks items are not worth the effort of the battle most of the time.

@samsnipple vault areas not sure they can still spawn from chest

keep in mind that without rares, you may find yourself more underleveld than normal, rares provide a really significant chunk of xp, not to mention you'll miss out on all the nice pink quality items they drop.

@Oberain one of the combos that still irk me the times when I dare retry with rares.
Rare doombringer those kill me almost always no matter what I do last one was level 12 and had Skate, insomnia amd flames on as sustains. This was in trollmire 3 on normal Adventure beside another rare Venus plan that used gloom and shadows so it pin me down and poison me while the doombring hit me once and kill me to add to that they where beside my escort portal... she did not survive...
Now at level 5 I think it was I have not seen a shadow of infusment or runes and only found a green armor that help against cold. how can you plan for that ? I can not and as I play for fun this is not fun. So I prefer to play without rares.

this mod how ever do not removes all rare they can still appear from chest and in vault and that I can live with be cause now it is my choice :)

@Oberain

it is not as much the level but the combination. 20 times or so just started ben face with a rare that have a combo of skills that makes either immune to damage or have insane healing abilitys like vitality plus .

also some zone are uncapped when it comes to rares and I have more then once ben face with level 50 in a starting zone... most common in trollmire

Wow, good way to remove basically the only thing making this game difficult (except for bosses and some elites i guess). May as well just play exploartion at that point

What difficulty are you all playing on that they're giving you these problems? I'm not saying that to be in any way insulting to the players or the mod itself. I've so far been playing on normal and have not run into a rare mob so overpowered that it ruins my game experience...I kind of just see them as a free piece of rare loot when killed. I've had more problems with totally random out of place high level normal mobs spawning in low level dungeons, like a level 35 orc cryomancer in a level 13 dungeon.

somebody should make an addon to highlight rare monsters i usually just never pay attention to them and think theyre just another normal mob then bam im dead
♥♥♥♥ this game

Now if this would get rid of garbage like Worms that Walk, game would be better for it.

The "rare" mobs are indeed the more frequent of them, with my new playthrough, around level 16, I have enconter 11 elite, 21 rare and 9 boss. Rare ? No they are not rare ! And some of them besides are nastier than boss. I will add this mod without more time. :p

Not going to use this mod, but can certainly understand the reason. Thx to my gear one of the most successfull run was able to continue after such rare monster hit me from 400 to -90 HP. If you are mage you have many options but if you have to melee this monsters you need to pray to the Dark god himself when on level 12 you encounter lv20 monstrosity in the ordinarary dungeon.

the rares are by far the stronges enemies I face in this game even the end bosses are easy comepare to the right combo on a rare. for me this is a welcome tryout thanks for making it.

Big props to VoidMage for the addon though, I agree that rares are so common, they should be renamed uncommon. Or you know, increase their rarity? I don,t really like having all rares removed, since I do like a good challenge every now and then, but sometimes it's just so ridiculous. And Boss/Unique > Rares, yet 90% of rares are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than their counterparts (*cough* rare corruptor or bone giant *cough*)

''you're not DarkGod and you don't share his vision for game balance.''

You, sir, just went full ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Don,t go full ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Huh there are a host of other mods that do things like create powerful classes and races, make escort missions easier, modify skills and abilities, etc. All those things could also be called "cheating" by that logic. Not sure why this mod is generating so much hate. The developer obviously wants people to be free to alter the game to their tastes. If you don't like the mod, don't use it.

Elitists pls go.

Don't give any of that get gud crap there is no way to prepare for every single rare in the game.

Was killed at Level 2 of Trollmire forest by a rare bee.... (A rare bee killed in 1 shot and due to its ability of stunning player I was unable to do ANYTHING, even at my archer level 5, are you serious??) !!

So yes, this is indeed a broken feature that this mod tend to repair !

Thanks to its creator !

I don't get all the fuss over an addon. Like the man said, if you don't like it, don't use it. Voicing opinions is fine but don't be surprized when people say, effectively "Too bad, so sad." I'll use it because I do think the incredibly powerful Rares are a bit insane.

I won't say I'm good at the game, because I'm not honestly. But I'm sure that nobody enjoys having a powerful monster steamrolling you with nothing you can do and almost no warning. Granted the Rares are a part of the game and I wouldn't mind having their rarirty upped.

Maybe DarkGod uses the Addons to see what he can mess with and change by looking at what addons people like and use, I'm pretty sure he's done it already. I'm sure someone knows of an example or two.

By your defintion making every enemy is cheating too, buddy.

And that's the entire point, did you miss the sign on the door when you walked in? This is an entire section dedicated to manipulating the game files, which was made possible BY DarkGod. If he wasn't fine with it, then this section wouldn't be.

He understands it's a game to be enjoyed. If you don't like the addon, wonderful. Go and play your game as is.
If you do like the addon, you can subscribe and then play. So easy, right?

Either way, doesn't matter what your opinion is. If you think rares are super balanced, this isn't the addon for you, and neither is it for your two-bits on rare balance.

There's a forum for that, go there instead please.

You're making the game easier through manipulating the game files, that's cheating mate. Deosn't matter what your opinion is, you're not DarkGod and you don't share his vision for game balance.

If you're really going to comment about how randomized/unpredictable mobs that can one-shot players is balanced... don't.

Sure you can try and avoid them by doing stuff like spamming Arcane Eye every 3 steps. That means Rares are making the game extremely tedious. Is that good game design? No.

You can try stacking defense to protect yourself, but considering they're randomized, you have to stack everything, which.. you can't do. Stacked HP won't matter with -70% slow, status immunity won't matter if they crit for three times your health. So -unpredictable- player destroying power. Good game design? No.

And assuming you avoid both parts, these are still -commonplace rares- doing more far damage than the big bosses. Is that good game design? No.

And campaign length. Easily 24 hours long. Guaranteed to get unlucky once. Losing everything to one randomized mob, good game design? No.

Is this addon cheating? No, it's removing broken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Honestly there are tons of ways to get better at the game. Blaming every mistake you make on RNG isn't going to get you help you improve, if you're doing that you're playing the wrong game/genre. Prepare better, buy gear, stack +hp and resistances, GET INFRAVISION if you can't see things (everything should have at least lv 1 heightened senses) try a different dungeon order, use track/arcane eye/etcetera ...specially if you play squishy casters (because autoexploring into everything shouldn't always be done, as convenient as it is). Removing rares is the same as outright cheating, if you're okay with that then honestly feel free to play however you like.

Because RNG is something you can totally get better at. Broken features like a mob critting you for twice your health offscreen aren't something you can get better at.

Maybe you should get better at the game instead of removing features.

Perhaps I will finally start playing again, without having my runs stopped by cheating rares

Interesting, I will test it in my next run (since we can't load MODS into an existing character save.. lol)
