Many people are saying this

I just realized we're probably not even getting ToTA in 1.0.
It's literally just gonna be full campaign, swords and 2 out of 3 Duelist ascendancies.
And they're gonna call it the complete release. Holy fuck. The audacity.

>>579068217
this but 100% unironically

>>579068426
I'm not saying you HAVE to be impressed by the new uniques they added, but they're really good
>subsume the source: completely transformative stat block, fun to make
>spinesnatch: super fresh 2h unique weapon, that's either the fastest unique wep in the game or something else entirely depending on how you equip it
>new timeless jewels and timeless jewels that change ascendancies
>chase unique rings that work on a million different builds (pearls)

Coupled with sweeping spell buffs, a league mechanic I actually enjoy running and comfy crafting, I pretty much couldn't be happier with Curse as a league.

do you think jonatroon is not releasing more classes and weapons because he knows the moment every class weapon and ascendancy is out he will no longer have anything to bait people with and poe2 will finally have to stand on it's own feet as a game to draw people in at every league launch?

>>579068646
they added builds/items, but they removed content and challenge. why would you wanna make a giga strong character if the "pinnacle" content is scouring your maps and running them as fast as you can?

I am thinking of coming back to POE2 for 0.5.5. Anon should I? or should I wait for 1.0?

>>579068870
>but they removed content and challenge
Well what did they remove? Harb (indefensible if you like it, but I don't care), and some mirage-only stuff. I'd like some of that mirage-only stuff back but I'm really not particularly fussed about it, I liked POE just fine pre-mirage.

>challenge
I don't think that challenge is fundamentally removed from the game because 1-2 high-end farms have been nerfed. It's not like you can't run valdos, deep delve, or ultrajuiced maps.
Can you actually genuinely run an allflame of propagation, 2x nemeses, 1x divinity map with high % deli? Or exceptional exiles? I feel like even a mid-level "hard" farm like pilfering+plenty requires a pretty good character if you're running it on well rolled originator maps and with deli.
I don't want to attack you just for making the argument, I know there are legit high-end juicers in this thread, but it feels to me like a lot of the "no challenge" complaints come from people just parroting a streamer and not actually being anywhere near the existing aspirational content.

yes, but abyss is both dogshit reward-wise, even after 2 rounds of buffs, and not really challenging. if (release version) abyss is the baseline for where mechanics should be they might aswell shut down poe1
anomalies are not new content, just old content repackaged and not challenging. also lol voyages

>what's wrong with titanic exceptional exiles with boxes?
they don't give loot. the way you did rogue exiles was giant exiles, and that got obliterated.

>I'm fundamentally not bothered by this, I only care loot as a tool to further my character, I'm not invested in the div/h being at some specific level or going up. If div/h per juiced map is down for everyone, then it doesn't matter if it's down.
the problem is that there is no need to further your character anymore, scouring your maps and running them as fast as possible is THE "aspirational" endgame loop, and you can do that with a day 2 character still half covered in act rares.

>>579070191
spear parry was a test of whether you have over 80 IQ (not to try parrying a crowd of mobs) and at least a 5s reaction time (to press it at the right time) and the community failed it en mases.

i'll post it when you post any form of achievement, but i am afraid you can't.

you don't understand, you need 140 iq to press a button in a game at the right moment, but of course a monkey like yourself wouldn't get it

why didn't you play legacy league?

>>579070313
Spear parry is fucking trash, because if your build actually needs parry debuff to function (which is the kind of gameplay Johnathan likes btw), you can spend up to 5 minutes in some boss fights to wait for the boss to an attack you can actually parry to get a single instance of debuff for a total of ONE (1!) attack that uses said debuff. Some bosses just spam slam after slam. And many boss attacks are still unparryable despite not even being classified as slam.

>>579070252
>but abyss is both dogshit reward-wise,
no it isn't, it drops a screen worth of scarabs per skitterbox, and the rares are well juiced through the property of inheriting rare mods, and frequently drop divs, valdos etc.

> not really challenging
Put in the consort scarab kek.

>anomalies are not new content, just old content repackaged
That applies to all content really, but okay, I'll give you that one.

>also lol voyages
Lol what? Voyages print.

>they don't give loot
How many exceptional exiles have you killed to come to this assessment?

>the problem is that there is no need to further your character anymore
Why not? Don't you want to be able to run mageblood valdos or 1000 card pilfering maps?

>scouring your maps and running them as fast as possible is THE "aspirational" endgame loop
This is pure cope, I'm not gonna go through 500 maps per an hour just so I can grab a few divs from gambler's district, rather kill fat fucking rares and a crowd of Destructive Play+pandemonium bosses.

>>579070770
i killed enough exiles with wild mercs this league to get 2 magebloods and 2 headhunters, but exiles never give shit.
>swooning over boring box loot

>>579070770
>abyss loot comes from boxes just like anything else does now

>>579070485
>it's a mechanic that sounds epic in some meeting room
It is fucking epic, it's cool to parry a boss and own it back with greatly increased damage. I understand it's not for everyone but it's implemented just fine, it's seamless and doesn't cost you much to use, can be used to animation cancel for ultra-high skill gameplay, and it's an extra button to press to do more damage, which is a reasonable addition to the game the same way a warcry or a curse is.

>>579070698
>you can spend up to 5 minutes in some boss fights to wait for the boss to an attac
Just get Calgyra's.

>And many boss attacks are still unparryable
A metric fuckton of boss attacks are parryable.

I'm gonna be honest, parry is 10x less annoying to use than Earthshatter, which bugs out when there's a hole or ground geography.

>>579071084

So just admit it plainly, you killed 0 (zero) exceptional rogue exiles this league.

>>579071002
The box drops scarabs, other boxes are shit. The rares drop normal loot and they're good for loot because they have double the number of mods in practice. I'd tell you what the consort drops, but I think 0.00001% of this thread has actually killed a juiced consort (not the one in the depths) so I don't want to spoil the surprise.

6 months until pokemon bank is closed and I still have to play 0.5.5 because of fomo. This is literally rape. you're raping me, jonaton

>>579071084
hello woodful, how do you like gamescom?

>>579071196
i would have, if they gave any form of worthy rewards. but they don't. challenge is good when it gates good rewards, and it's dogshit for the challenge's sake.

>>579071158
I think the current implementation, with all the QoL they added, is fundamentally fine.
You parry in 1v1s, and you eschew parry while clearing packs, and the game lets you do that just fine as parry isn't the sole source of charges.

>>579071253
You couldn't pay me to go to a con kek, all the games are awful slop from what I can tell from the first day stream too.
Anyway I would like parry in a vacuum because I'm a cringe nerd, and I like parry even more because it filters shitters. It's like an overpowered fighting game character retards can't use because the moveset confuses them.

>>579071084
>ultra-high skill gameplay

Using a movement skill then canceling the end of the animation with parry/raise shield is high-skilled gameplay to me, because it takes mechanical skill. You're welcome to disagree, but something tells me you didn't even know about that.

I don't like the larp where we pretend that you start the game with a temporalis character, you have to progress to assrape instakill gear, even though the threshold is pretty low.

This time we shit the tub so good, you guys won't know what hit you!

>>579073093
Sometimes it feels like they're really tired of developing the game and that they take every opportunity to procrastinate and go "ah fuck it, do that one later".
It's either that, or there's a gigantic disconnect between what they see as priorities and what players see as priorities. Sometimes it's crazy to me how little shit they make for patches for either game, but then they put absurd amount of design effort into something like different player dialogue options or how intricate the league mechanic grid setup is.
I think the pinnacle of this is the fact that they added dialogue to expedition members back in 0.1 or 0.2, explaining why they traveled back in time with the player. As if anyone would say "hey but why are these guys back in the vaal era with us". Just kek. That's the kind of shit they think of, instead of, you know, new skills and weapon types.

challengefags don't need to enjoy things to end up doing them, that's why they're challengefags.
its very much a "tell me what to do daddy" mindset.

literally every league since 0.1 had zooming screen clearing builds.
the only part of the game that was deliberately slowed down was map completion with rare hunting, and that was obviously just there to test the new map generator because the removed rare hunting once they sorted out the bugs.
ggg didn't change the vision or whatever, people are just slightly less shit at the game now.

you are misunderstanding what i am trying to say: 0.1 was the version of the game they wanted to make, super slow and hated by the community. anything that was not slow was bugged or unintended. with 0.2, and even moreso with 0.3 they gave up on that vision and are now dragging their feet.

we're still doing this cope

>pillar gemling was bugged and unintended

0.2 was slower than 0.1 you silly non-poe2 player.

>>579075018
They can't bring themselves to admit that the original game flopped and GGG had to cave to the playerbase. They would lose izzat.

What do we think of the Trial of Chaos changes?

>>579075018
0.1 wasn't super slow.
and they always said mapping would be zoom zoom and juice, before 0.1 even launched.

I'm interested in using it to solve the fact that GGG decided to make the game not drop any greater/perfect transmute or augmentation.

2 boxes are real

>>579075338
they also said beta was 6 months, up to 12 months. how'd that turn out?
it is a well-known fact that they are constantly lying.

>>579075280
Good that they listened, but who gives a fuck honestly? Fuck ToC.
