it's gonna break its all time player count today
what are you league starting /v/?
Well yeah they finally threw retard nigger chris and his vision in the dumpster where they belong and made the game fun again
>>683801594cold dot occultist. tell me this is a mistake
>witch in current yearlmfao
>>6838015942h gladiator bleed slam
>>683801594Gladiator bleed max block
I haven't played since Harbinger because this piece of shit gave me an RSI I still deal with today
>haven't properly played since Expedition>So much new shit>>683801594Lacerate glad probably because lacerate is cool and so is glad
THIS IS YOUR LAST FORMAL WARNING MELEE IS BAIT If you run a melee build you WILL regret it.
>>683801493And then flop again when they inevitably don't learn their lesson about buffing shit skills like they did in Legion (Even if they do nerf the tradeniggers) despite the fact that its a massive success every single time.
>>683801594Armor stacking glad
>>683801943i dont care, I just want to hit things
>>683801594I want her to peg me so hard
>>683801698That is a build I have not seen in quite some time, ever since vortex got dumpstered last patch.Got a POB?
>>683801594Retaliation only glad
>>683801594How pretty is her pussy, /v/? Nevermind tightness.
I'm gonna play ssf the way I feelFuck buildsFuck startersFuck niggersStop minmaximising the fun out of the game and play it like a real man
>>683804167You can still fuck all those things in non ssf you retard there is literally Z E R O reason to play ssf.Just don't fucking trade
>>683801493>it's gonna break its all time player count todayReally? I just started downloading PoE for the first time. Is this game really that fun?
>>683804357if you like math yeah
Slayer is back.
>>683804357If you like slot machine diablo looters. It's like crack. I've been on this shit since 2014 and I hate it.
>>683804305By the same logic there's no reason to play normal if you're not going to trade
Probably going to do a gladiator like everyone else. I hate playing the meta, I prefer to try my own shit in HCSSF, but it looks too good to pass up. Crazy it took em like 10 years to finally give melee some proper love.
I'm starting the game for the first time today
has poe added more giant chicks with 4 boobs yet?
>>683801493>playing mindless 1 button slop where you walk around and see loot drops that makes you do the same thing faster
Settlers stuff started?
>>683805294stop roleplaying young girls on internet forums you sick fuck.
>>683801943I always run a melee build>league startmelee>mapsmelee>endgamemelee
>>683804357It used to be. Then chr*s wilson ruined it for a few years. The league will really determine if it's good again or not.
>>6838054414 1/2 hours left
this league is when PoE will finally beat out CK2 as my most played Steam game of all time
I've always rawdogged my starter and killed the 4 and the elder Xant imagine running g the campaign twice to do that per season Ima skip this season because graveyard shift season was poenumbing
>>683805930>he plays the steam releaseLMAO
>>683801493>it's gonna break its all time player count todayWhy's that? I doubt the buzz around it could be bigger than the Diablo Immobile/Betrayal period.
seems like a nice league but I cant be bothered after getting a job. How do normal people even play this shit with 2 hours per day to spare
>>683806072huge new league with a shit ton of new content, quality of life improvements and buffs
>>683801493When is poe2 coming out
>oh look new league>remember that you have to go through the fucking acts every time>forget about it
>>683806145>2 hours per day to spareI work full time and I have 5-6 a day atleast for gaming, and all day on the weekends. You need to manage your time better.
>>683806279that's the time I have after work and working out
there are adults that take time off to play videogames
>>683806617based
>>683801493And then lose more players than ever before withi 2 days when everyone notices that the game is still dogshit and they are playing melee.
>>683801943Only "melee" I am interested in are casters that scale with strength like groundlam or molten strike.
>>683801698Yes, if you decided on cold dot occultist after reading the patch notes then you are super super retarded.
i know it's bad but i want to use glacial hammer this leagueany suggestions on builds?
>>683801594power siphon trickster cause i hate dealing with tgems on a leaguestarter. my 2nd character's probably gonna be molten strike of the zenith
>>683807173Same. I might swap to old school int stack wander after a few days if wand gets return proj.
>>683801594
>>6838062792 hours per day doesn't seem unusual for people with job, family, pets, and housework. if anything that could be rather high.
>>683801594I’m a noob is SST bleed gladiator a meme or is it actually good?
>>683801594Lacerate gladiator because my builds sucked and I just want to fight the endgame bosses.
>>683801594groundslam slam
>>683801493promised myself i'm not playing it ever again this shit is straight up brain rotting crack
>>683809514yes
>>683808130Bait. You will struggle with damage on watch stone bosses probably. Aiming with SST is super cringe as well if you haven't played it before.
>don't know what to play>no idea if meele is worth to leaguestartLA to tranny shot it is, once again
>>683801493>3.5 hours til new leaguehuh didn't even know maybe I'll give it a go haven't played in 4 or so leagues
I might just play ice shot or some shit. I played it ages ago and it was super satisfying to blow up packs into ice chunks with a single shot
>>683801493>Chili: stewing>Balls: empty>Build: readyWe are back once again bros.
Max block glad with bladestorm and retaliation skills
I could never finish the acts cause it got pretty boring in the back half. hoping that POE2 just plays better to be more consistent
>>683806882ok gonna do thishttps://poe.ninja/builds/necropolishc/character/fhcty6/wiowiowioSkyFlySim?type=exp&i=1&search=skills%3DGlacial%2BHammer%26sort%3Ddpsbut include a Frost Bomb into my CWDT set upand also use Glacial Shield Swipe with Expert Retaliation instead of ancestral totems (since they don't exist anymore)
>>683801594League starters are such a stupid conceptI'm just gonna go whirling blades assassin with mamba viper strike
>>683801493>Ancestral totem are fucking gone>Earth breaker support is locked behind bootsI actually enjoyed those skill and they just took them away
how the fuck does anyone proceed to red maps, i just get cockblocked because they never drop
>>683810568kirac
>>683806279when you get a girlfriend that time of yours will drop to an hour a week
>>683809604Thanks I think I’ll do lacerate of haemorrhage instead
>>683801594Oni-goroshi wildstrike of extremes trickster.
>playing tencent slop
Yeah no shit. The currency exchange is what the game has been missing this whole time and the league/patch seems at worst inoffensive other than maybe the fucking around they did with the league quant shit if they fucked it up again.
>>683810568Take the map chance to drop higher nodes on the atlas tree retard
Might actually give this a tryIs summon/minions good for a league starter?
>>683811943wait for poe 2 to be a summonersystem is infinitely better
>>683811943Summon raging spirits is a good starter but minion skills in general have a high knowledge barrier if you are new to the game. Lots of guides available, though.
>>683811658poe is one of the most in-depth games out there tencent just makes the money the devs know what they are doing. Plus there is zero pay to win, like literally none, all purchases besides vault slots is cosmetic. It's very based you should give it a try
>>683812276I won't play your slop, Chang.
>>683812476weirdo
>>683810261>League starters are such a stupid conceptyeah i'm just going to login with an all trans gem and unique armour character bro, fuck that noobie shit.
>>683812476The deal they signed gives tencent zero control. They just operate the Chinese servers. Poe is the only game that isn't slop.
>>683801864>Lacerate is cool
>>683801594Same as every league, necro srs swarm.
>>683812476brb donating another billion dollars to tencent
>>683807585this will fail hilariously but i respect you for learning the hard way
Haha sorry I won't play this game, haha weird I know but I just won't ok?
>>683812827nta but that's the best part about PoE desu; experiment, fuck around, find out.
>>683812896thanks for telling us
>>683812896Dang that's crazy.
>>683812896Are you that same larian schizo or different schizo?
>>683801594earthshatter most likely, i love me slams and love me warcries, steelmage has an interesting version of it though where you just use the buff effect from warcries and play like it's d4 barb
>every dollar I spend on PoE goes directly to funding the Chinese liberation of bandit-occupied Taipeibased, buying more MTX>verification not required
ima play on a steam deck :)
>>683801770I want to go full Palpatine and lighting everything
any full retard retaliate gem builds
>>683813651That's what Inquisitor is for
can i spin2win bosses or it's still mapping only?
I cant download the client because their servers are in maintenance lol, it says they will be up in 3 hours
>>683813673goratha is league starting retaliate bleed glad apparently.
>>683813870basted
>NOOOOOOOO DONT GIVE MONEY TO TENCENT CHINA LE BAAAAAAD>GIVE MONEY TO LARRY FINK INSTEAD LIKE A TRUE AMERICAN SO WE GET TRANNIES AND NOGS CONSTANTLY FORCED IN OUR GAMES AAAAIIIIEEEEEEE
do >we< like the new gladiator?
>>683814296it's an actual ascendancy now
>>683813829It's to get the new league ready.
>>683814296Yes but we dont play fotm we're have to go with something else.
I think spectral throw deadeye is going to be filthy as a second build once I recombinate a weapon. Farshot ascendancy stacks with other sources of farshot now like fledgling or runes. Going to be filthy. Remember to watch the captain lance recombinator video as a refresher on how to use the mechanic.
people are not going to like poe2
>>683814620after watching alkaizer play it, i'm convinced gamedevs are just terrible at showing their game off, it was way more palatable watching someone that actually plays like a human.
>>683814296Of course, lucky block is absurdly strong. Other new nodes are only so-so, still 6 points for lucky block + explody bleed is great
Shadow and Duelist.Are they in a good place?
>>683814712oh and jonathan is genuinely just insufferable
>>683814803Trickster is very arguably the best ascendancy in the game. Slayer is really good this patch because of endurance charge changes. I'm thinking yes they do be in a good spot.
>>683801683Good to know.
>>683805294start roleplaying young girls on internet forums you cute fuck.
>>683813457Whatever.
>>683815746>passive aggressive fuccboi responsebut why, thomest?
>ctrl f flicker>0 resultsflickerCHADS ww@?which ascendency are we choosing now?
>going schizo over tencentthe same faggots who do that probably play blizzard and western globohomo games
>>683816558It is a bit weird for a company funded by the NZ government (aka the taxpayers) to sell themselves to china. But I guess he had to do it to fund cutting edge hair loss research
Whats some good none minion witch builds to start with?
>>683816187Slayer. Endurance charges are fucking broken now.
>>683816827like I fucking give a shit who owns the majority of shares in the developer company of the game I like
>>683803329the fact that she still streams for moderate income instead of making 10 million per month on onlyfans suggests that she's got ugly bobs and vegana.
>>683805419sounds like absolute kino
are the retaliate gems even good if you don't go gladiator
>>683806038why did you even play necropolis then. it was so boring I quit after 4 days, and I'm usually a 36 challenges sperg.
>>683806048NTA but elaborate, is it better not to play on Steam? Genuinely curious since this is only my third league playing
>>683817213you're supposed to play on garena so you can literally p2w with your fellow changbrothers
>>683806391work = 8 hours, sleep = 8 hours (or less) working out = 2 hours tops. that's 6 hours left. nigger what are you doing.
>>683801493>it's gonna break its all time player count todayThere has never been even one instance of PoE's numbers being verifiable, it's all based on what GGG says, they are allowed to lie as much as they want.You know why people care about PoE's numbers? Because you use them as a metric to gauge whether your game is good or not.Shut the fuck up and people will stop calling you out on GGG's bullshit.
>>683817213it literally doesn't matter. stand alone client has a better patcher tho.
>>683817213In the past steam was getting new league updates a bit later during launch day and they were huge in size.Currently steam updates happen at the same time at regular client and they're even smaller in size. There is actually zero reason not to play on steam currently
>>683817438steamcharts you faggot
>>683817458OK, Gabe.
>>683817438as opposed to literally any other multiplayer game ever? do you think you just stumbled upon some kind of deep insightful wisdom or something, you fucking retard.
>12000 in queue
I dunno, bros, should I try the new poo league, or should I play the new NMS expedition, or should I play the new Fallout London release?
>>683801948They buffed trading significantly. For example an auction house for every item that is stackable.
>>6838175682 hours left, too, so you're very likely to get bumped randomly and have to rejoin the queue.
>>683817667coming to ask this in a path of exile thread is pretty gay of yourself. not that i am judging.i'm going to play path of exile out of those 3 options (never played NMS or Fallout London)
>>683817726still can't trade incubators through it due to the item levels.
>>683817008some people are too proud to whore themselves out onlineshe might be one of those types
>>683817458>There is actually zero reason not to play on steam currentlyHow about not needing a fucking bloated drm botnet to run on top of this already bloated game with massive performance issues?
>>683817926>schizophreniac AND poorwhat a sad existence
>>683812476Good, I don't want players like you in my game
>>683817895I've never met a female in my life who was too proud to sell her sexuality. It's just a matter of price and degree of exposure. She probably has parents who would honor kill her if they found out.
>>683801594zerker ground slam looking spicy
>>683801594No idea, probably using a bow this time around. I've only casually played throughout the years.
>>683812476just knowing you'll waste your precious time on this planet shitposting about a game living rent free in your head makes me happy enough
>>683817926only pro for me is the steam wallet desu
>>683817993As always steamers have not a single point to make.
>>683817454Just two leagues ago the standalone client bugged out and it took GGG hours to fix, meanwhile steamies patched instantly and jumped right in.
>>683807585Neat
>>683816854Witch is dead no one plays her.
>>683818235both of the things I said about you are true and you know it well, that's why you try to disregard them so desperately
>>683818239i've been playing this game autistically since 2012 and that literally never happened.
>>683818346Archmage DD is still really good. Going to be plenty of people starting it.
>>68381834619% of the entire meta in necropolist were witches. she's still over-represented if anything.
>>683818459DD was FUCKED by desecrate corpse changes. metafags are all shifting to Archmage Hiero instead.
>>683818368good for you, sport. and who knows, maybe someday your hateboner for china will lead to you losing your virginity.
>>683806263THISonly an addict would lap down this slop for the 100th timelet me level up in maps or something holy fuck
>>683818459templar skill
>>683817008Good point. But not a single gamer ever fucked her to spread the word? Seriously?
>>683806263The campaign is the worst of any game I ever played even D3 was less shit to play through.
>>683818617You have no idea what you're talking about. DD of chain reaction is just a very good way to apply archmage damage necro much better for it. Also exploding T17 corpses in general is just a lot of damage regardless of the desecrate changes. Archmage heiro is also good but just a completely separate build that comes online slower.
>>683817549and? Sure you have something other to say than that I'm right?
>>683818959>>683817489
>>683818959you're "right" in a way that any retard stating any obvious fact about existence, e.g. "everyone breathes air" is right. your non-argument is meaningless and everyone things you're retarded for making it
>>683801594holy relic necro
>>683817848>he runs l*gionlol
>>683806072they kicked the main culprit behind the game being shit in the balls and told him to fuck off.
>>683805294>>683804357you mfers are in for a looooooooooooong ass session of wikipedia and youtube reading/watching sessions to catch up on years worth of content.
>>683817331nigga are you teleporting to your work/gym?
>>683820230Not missing out on anything. Game has been pretty bad for at least 4 years now (and this is being a little generous).
>>683821060>work from home>home gym:^)
>>683820127I don't, but I do buy incubators, and I'm disappointed that they won't be on the commodities exchange.
>>683821060not a single person who's serious about lifting doesn't have a home gym. are you some kind of rentalcuck living in an urban shit hole?
I don't know what to play for SSF and its up in one hour
>>683807585Without 100% stun recovery or unaffected by stun this is going to be pure pain to play, but go for it champ.
i WILL play melee energy blade tricksteri WILL have fun
>>683812952Something basically nobody does anymore as the game is heavily saturated with dataminers, build/guide makers etc. You're already a better player than 99%+
>>683821784>>683821185niggas I do boxing not lifting
How are you suppose to Scion?
Just entered the thread, what is the new league gimmick and why should I play it instead of standard?
>>683822295even less of a need to go to a gym since you can hang a bag pretty much anywhere, unless you like playing shirtless touchy face with real sweaty men in person.
>>683822634New league gimmick is city building. You build up a town that gets more people to movie in, including crafters and blacksmiths and you have raiders kidnapping people who moves in and you go and rescue them.
>>683822657I'm in it for the men
>>683822634you build a town and gather resources for it, then send boats out on expeditions to gather loot for you automatically on mobile game timers. you can also build up to three map devices in your town and send NPC slaves to go run all the maps you don't or can't run and they'll automatically bring you the loot, also on mobile game timers. also new rune crafting system which isn't much different from older systems but looks like it has some potentially very juicy crafts like free returning projectiles on certain weapons.
are they doing a new league? I might farm that fire sword that drops from hillock if so
Pathetic shill
>>683801594Caustic arrow into remembering there still 4 hours of tutorial into uninstall
>>683823021it's up in 47 minutes log the fuck in
>>683822813>mobile gaming leagueI am out.
I have very mixed feelings about these league mechanics and I think they will all be stinkers, and worse I think they are mechanics that are easily abused by bots so i feel like it will have a significant impact on the economy.But regardless this league will be carried by the fact that melee is actually going to have a lot of interesting options this time and the currency market, along with HOPEFULLY the league mechanic not being annoying like fucking archnem or tedious like corpse crafting
>>683823161Fuuucj I haven’t played in years is Oni Goroshi infernal blow still a thing
What happened to their phone version of PoE?
>>683823139>HOW FUCKING DARE PEOPLE ENJOY AND TALK ABOUT A POPULAR GAME THAT'S ABOUT TO START A NEW LEAGUE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
>>683824850You don't understand, a GOD DAMN GACHA GENERA- THREAD DIED FOR THIS!!!

I haven't lasted past league launch weekend since scourge and I haven't even installed and logged in since sanctum, didn't last a day. Should I bother this time? Or is The Vision(tm) still in full force?
>40k in que>get inside>pick wrong character>accidentally pick exit to login screen>40k queim not smart
>276k twitch viewersIs the game really this popular
>>683826006>wake up 16 hours agobased esl
>>683828134no, it's mostly bots to farm twitch watching items. look at player numbers and viewer numbers even after two weeks post-league launch.
>>683818847Gamers don't fuck.We only get fucked by corporations.
I really want to get into POE and devote a shit ton of time into a good developer of action rpgs but now that I know POE2 is coming out I just rather wait for that.
>>683829367I'm only playing now to do the story content since poe2 is a sequel
>>683829367That makes zero sense as POE is broken up by leagues. You don't play one character forever.
finna just gonna wait for PoE2 methinks
I haven't played this game in many, many years and even back when I was playing it I haven't made it particularly far into the maps. What's so good about it now that people are coming back to it?Also can I just play an archer and shoot arrows without any extensive planning?
whats so different about this league?
>>683826206>2 minutes of stretches>video is over 7 minutes longI love modern internet content.
>>683829758POE2 is a totally different games
>>683801594Duelist skelesummoner.Yes I am a retard
so when is poe 2?
>>683801493Still not interested in going back to this bloated garbage.Respeccing still looks pointlessly time consuming.
>>683801493hey i told you faggots
I don't know if I want to do golemancer or righteous fire
>>683829367>a good developer of action rpgsNo such thing exists. It's a genre of games for subhumans. It's the millenial generation's equivalent to sitting in front of slot machines like a zombie. All of these PoE faggots will be doing the exact same shit when they're geriatric.Don't even bother with this trash.
Why is that guy so angry
>>683832251oh wow you're a fucking genius bro how could you have known we should have listened
