Lets Talk About The Elephant In The Room

Invisible Monsters.

I just started playing this mod, & I really love it, but this constant dying to monsters that I can't see is frustrating to the point of it turning me off of the game entirely. I don't know if this is the result of an internal flaw in the game's engine, or something intentionally implemented to add a layer of difficulty, but I really do fail to see how being swarmed by invisible monsters stands as a mechanic which positively impacts the game's overall performance.

Certainly I'm not the only one who feels this way?

Did you mean to post this on April Fool's and just missed?

You can see an elephant in the room, but you can't see invisible monsters swarming you? Have you tried putting on the "special glasses" ?

It's probably a lot of desync, try playing on other servers.

you should also consider playing on original 2d settings .
1) open Median XL launcher
2) click the gear settings on the top right
3) check Disable in-game sound.
3) change Video Mode to : DirectDraw (2D)
4) click Run Video Test
5) run Median XL

6) quit the game, as you intended

Only dangerous invisible enemies I can think of are Firebloods and even they got nerfed.

They only appear when there are corpses nearby because they eat the corpse and then roll the fire boulder. You can get Slain Monsters RIP so that they dont eat a corpse and will never be able to roll boulders at you.

I'm still new to this mod, but I assume that RIP still only works if you make the killing blow - and not if the mob is killed by your merc (unless you add RIP to his/her gear as well which is easy enough), minions, or if the mob suicides. In particular, in the Azmodan fight he summons lots of demon lords that suicide shortly after spawning creating a lot of corpses that can be used by the firebloods even with RIP gear. In that case I listen for the very disctinct corpse consumption sound to let me know a boulder is coming.

This post reminds me of that scene from This Is The End. Everyone should just accuse HoldMyPurse of being racist.
