Spectres will be great again.

>>723886405>Minion cucks complaining that their no brained afk farmer does 101gorilion dps now instead of 102gorilion.It's all so tiresome..
>Ritual corpses can be brought back like other spectresWell, at least there's finally a reason now to trade for the corpses.
Energy Blade WILL be buffed, check this 8
>>723886567Witches are great
dont tell em about the nerfs coming
>>723886405Why the fuck would anyone play POE 1 when POE 2 is available? I have nothing against Poe 1but it's literally a game that's been around for over 13 years and is falling apart. The developers simply didn't plan for the game to become so big
>>723886405Is this and its sequel worth playing? The last ARPG I really remember going all in on was Marvel Heroes with a few thousand hours in the past, and this game suddenly popped on my radar and supposedly the devs want players to swap between games during seasons or something and that's why stash tabs and such carry over between games?My other option is to buy Last Epoch & D4 + Expansion when Steam sale hits in about a week, but I heard something about a "stash tab sale" coming up on the 23rd for PoE and was interested in that too.
>>723886405Now that baldy is out, they instantly churn out all the QoL that was deliberately missing from the game, curious. Are they just gonna rip off Last Epoch as well?
i will still flicker it's comfy playing flicker with a controller
>>723890416Because 2 feels less fun than 1.
>>723890416because poe1 is good today while even poe2 fans are mostly just saying "don't worry guys the game will be good eventually"
>>723890625Wait until they release Poe 2 and it become free. Poe 1 was a great game about a decade ago but not now. Especially for new players, they designed the game around people who treat it like a job. Poe 2 works in reverse and shows promise.>>723890941>>723891026Poe 1 wasn't fun for years.
>>723890625I would strongly recommend poe1 over last epoch
>still burnt out of PoE1 after a year of taking a break>new league looks like more of the same>faggots on /v/ still chirping about specters as if GGG will ever get them right; meanwhile I've played literally every archetype in the game and the game play is still the same forced setup shit between all of them>PoE2 feels like garbage molasses in addition to the forced setup shit every time I play it>checked out again during the interlude acts anyway, sorc is absolute shit with the new mechanics>see people posting insane gear with the new crafting currency and I'm just too bored to even list my shit even with the new async trading>probably going to skip the league announcement when it's live since twitch can fuck off and the pet drop looks terribleI miss the BFR.
>>723891543>faggots on /v/ still chirping about specters as if GGG will ever get them rightthey literally are getting them right, instead of dying and dropping a corpse now they just turn into a ghost and respawn when you change areas
>>723891026PoE2 is a good top-down shooter.
>>723891647>a minor QoL for retards but no actual gameplay improvement or innovationthat's nice sweetie
>>723891770what exactly does getting spectres right look like in your mind
More chaos spells when?
>>723886405Rancid trashfire of a game.>minionfagsBrainless shit-eaters.
>>723891291PoE 1 > D4 > Last Epoch > PoE 2. Obviously might change in the future, but PoE 2 is still many years away from being fully released most likely.
>>723890416>and is falling apart.citation needed>The developers simply didn't plan for the game to become so bigI think Chris getting a bag of money from Tencent means he did plan for that.
>>723891110>Poe 1 wasn't fun for years.Expedition to Kalandra was just 2 years out of 10+. It was fun again for most of the playerbase after that. Affliction league revitalized the game and that was 2 years ago now
>>7238918201. an actual minion UI where you can just equip/augment itemized specters in an inventory screen2. new ways to augment your specters/minions beyond just minion damage scaling and having 20 of them shooting 6 projectiles each while you're an aurabot for them3. a reliable way to see specter abilities outside of using poedb
>>723891770things like wretched defilers are stupidly strong. They don't need more help.
>>723892879>give one specific skill gem extremely special treatment with additional UI and new ways of scaling>again, this is for ONE skill gemare you retarded?
>>723892869>>723891110The last "fun"/somewhat good league was Ritual. After that it all went to shit (implying it was not like that since 3.0).
>>723892879guy who has "played literally every archetype in the game" confused about why spectres aren't given super special unique treatment for no reason
>>723893024>ONE skill gem>"an actual minion UI" is for specters onlyMy bad, didn't realize you're a first-order thinker.
>>723893251if you actually played PoE, you'd realize GGG already does this for specters every time Ghazzy DMs Johnathan directly.
>>723892857>citation neededI don't know how but Poe 1 works worse than Poe 2>I think Chris getting a bag of money from TencentIt was years after the game's release. Initially Poe 1 was just a fairly small game that was released unfinished and needed updates.>>723892869The difference between good and bad leagues for the average modern poe 1 player is whether they can complete all endgame in a week. Seriously, people are getting really frustrated every time their build requires them to actually play the game instead of just pressing one button.
>>723886405Why are they intentionally killing POE2 by updating this old shit still? I dont want to play the POE1 campaign again. I can't. It was fun a few times but it just feels like a slog now.
I had more fun playing the single Act of Titan Quest 2 then I did the entirety of PoE2. PoE2 least started pretty good but by the time I started moving around Act 3 the game fucking sucked horse cock.
>>723893407retard
>>723893390It's just old recycled content and Poe 2 stuff. Poe 1 will no longer receive any major unique updates, they sent almost everyone to work on Poe 2
>>723893390they know where the money comes from
>>723890797I kinda wish you could do good flicker builds without having to be crit focused.
>>723893407that's nice, i thought titan quest 2 was garbage in it's current form and would rather just play the original
>>723893026As fun as Ritual was I really don’t miss the old Atlas system.>32 WatchstonesNah fuck going back to that shit.
>>72389358030% of the flicker builds on poe.ninja literally cannot crit
>>723893584That's fair.
>>723893026Nah, it was Delve.
>>723891543Same except I actually like PoE2.What killed PoE1 for me was realizing that leagues don't matter. If you want to farm the league mechanic, you just map. Any dedicated farm generally shits on normal mapping. Endgame mapping? With T17s you're farming the boss drops and not the league mechanics too. It literally doesn't matter to me what the league is, all my currency comes from other things anyway.At least in PoE2 leagues still matter.
>>723893659I miss the OLD Atlas where there were no watchstones, and you did not need to grind Atlas and shards for 5th slot. And there was none of that retarded atlas passive tree either. They nerfed to shit every league mechanic and then made "atlas tree" that is not even 10th of what old stuff was.>>723893872I fucking hate delve, because they could make it better, but instead its more of the same.
>>723894054>not even 10th of what old stuff was.you either didn't play the game back then or have on 3 inch thick rose-tinted glasses. not to mention most of the mechanics didn't even exist back then so your farm was shit like perandus and tempest.
>>723892676OK Salt Bae
>>723894771>not to mention most of the mechanics didn't even exist back thenIndeed, most of the cancer did not.>he thinks grinding atlas three times and having a 5th slot is something goodLol, lmao even.
>>723893580>I kinda wish you could do good flicker builds without having to be crit focused.What's wrong with crit? Jewels are too pricey or something?
>>723895279thats not how the atlas works, and there are 6 slots in the map device not 5. the 5th slot was added back in legion league.
>>723895279>grinding atlas three timeswat
Outdated, but still relevant.
>>723896601they removed half of this list like two days ago
>>723896780>like two days ago>two days agoAt the very least 4 years too late.
>>723886405everyone will play them and copy Ghazzy and minion everything will be expensive as shit again, like last minion rework
>>723896865you've been playing a game you don't like for 4 years?
>>723890416PoE 2 sucks fat cocks and the only good thing about it is I can kick back with a controller but it's STILL lightyears behind D4 in that regard and can't even switch on the fly like a real gameLMAO
>>723896601doesn't really hit the same
Skipping this league to play more rimworld and diablo2.This might be the first league I skip, outside of when they just ran that recent league twice, since warbands and act4 was put out.
>>723896865And the other half of the list was already removed
WASD Fucking WHEN
>>723897139>>723896601What are these labs the pic mentions?
>>723897269the lord's labyrinth
>>723897161>11430$>on a f2p gameAbsolute LOL. Atleast tell me you got a few mirror drops.
>usually have like 10+ builds ready to go for league start>haven't even made one yetIs est over fur mich?
>>723897269
>>723897195Bullshit, and you know it.
>>723897430yeah bro it's going to be such a pain doing delve for bench recipes and buying lab trials in 3.27
I have "following a build" fatigue
>>723897310Ah, right, makes sense. But also how can you get the trial plaques from global chat?
>>723897139Indeed, it doesnt. Just skip all of the content and grind atlas over and over and over. Maybe run some "juiced" "favoured" maps, meaning you run the same map 1000 times and just cross your fingers for good drops, because nothing gets your heart going like a zing sound from filter.Great fucking game.
>>723897590there are 6 different lab trials that can spawn randomly in maps, you used to have to do all 6 of them to unlock the last labyrinth and finish your ascendancy. it was a massive pain in the ass and people would join each other's maps to get the trials they needed
>>723897430The other guy literally took the time to strike everything that's no longer a thing. Are you dense?
GGG has no idea how to do leagues unlike diablo devs. Diablo always gives you transmogs and weapons, in POE you just lose your life, again, for free.
>>723897343That's actually my friend's. I've (only) spent like 1300.My friend group has at least 80k hours between us. None of us have had a mirror drop.I got a mirror shard drop from harby when I abused the good watchstone, and i got 2 from settlers, multiple hinekoras locks, magebloods, and reflecting mists, no raw mirror though.
>>723897662>there are 6 different lab trials that can spawn randomly in mapsOh shit, they're random? I never knew that, guess I got super lucky with getting them all blind.
>>723897590Someone finds a trial in the map. They announce it, you ping them, they invite you, you go to them and run it in their map. Bang, you got the plaque and can do uber lab (assuming you have the offering).Back in the day you needed all 6 trials to unlock uber lab. Now its just one - any will do.
I'll just go on Blight maps again. That's still a pretty fun time waster league.
>>723897613>this game sucks because you have to do so much setup>...>uhhh actually this game sucks because you don't have to do much setup
>>723897783jfc dude kill yourself
>>723897674Are you? All of it is still in the game (atleast it was when i started playing current league).
>>723897798i think at one point they made it so you were more likely to get trials you hadn't finished before they just deleted the requirement
>>723897870
>>723897783Whales. Not even once (unless you are the one making oil from them).
>>723897884lol this retard was buying lab trials from global chat this league
>>723897783i appreciate your contributions as i will never spend a dime on these games but i do want them to continue to develop and entertain me
>>723897815Heist is my comfort league.
>>723898076>>723898186We stopped whaling once tencent gained over 50% stake.It's been 90%for a while and 100% for over a year now. Most of the OGs are gone now.
>>723897836It appears you have a case of lack of comprehension.Game sucks because in order to experience it not even in full you need to do a lot of setup. And if you want to experience it in full you need to treat it as if it is your main source of income.Obviously, vast majority of people who are not NEETs or dedicated PoE streamers will not do that, so they skip as much of it as possible, which means they will be stuck on doing atlas, or the most boring/plain mechanics that require only minimum investment. However, in order to get even a minimum of satisfaction from that, maps have to be done in statistically significant numbers - 1000s, and that consumes a lot of time.Both ways of engagement suck. Both consume autistic-level of time investment. Both are bad.And then there is you, a fucking retard, who thinks both statements cannot be true, so he posts one of the most idiotic reation images as if it is an ultimate "got you". The irony of your post and the image attached to it is lost on you.
>>723898164>buying lab trialsAnon, are you projecting or pulling a strawman?
>>723898578>game sucks because you have to play itcool wall of seethe though bro
>>723898475>OGsWell, those involved in gameplay department can go to hell and stay there.
>>723893762I am really curios about this then, would you mind showing a good example?
>>723898653>Get Lab Trials from global chat (lul)>All of it is still in the game (atleast it was when i started playing current league)I can't wait to see you try to reconcile these two statements
>>723898692Dont care, retard. Learn to read then.
>>723886405Reminder that Diablo 3 solved the leveling issue in 2014, there is literally no reason why you need to constantly redo the same acts in a campaign to experience the endgame that you've done 100 times.
>>723898778So you are saying that you dont need to run atleast 1 of lab trials in the maps to get an offering and unlock uber lab. Is that right?
>>723898820when was the last time you actually played path of exile? almost all the shit you are seething about hasn't been relevant for half a decade.
>>723898926who exactly do you think is going to be convinced by this retard. you and i both know exactly what's wrong with your retarded post
>>723898757https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/character/humaktson-6135/CATW_Flicker?timemachine=week-1&i=3&search=timemachine%3Dweek-1%26skills%3DFlicker%2BStrike%26keystones%3DResolute%2BTechnique
>>7238989833 month ago. Literally all of that shit is still in the game (they did delete Phrophecies), AND they piled in more crap in there. Atleast Atlas is relatively straightforward, but still a grindy shit.
>>723895295I am just not that good at making builds and crit builds seem to demand heavy respeccing when you are a high level. Which is kinda costly in gold just to experiment if its good or not with my current build.
>>723899029Anon, are you trying to gaslight me? Because you are trying to gaslight me.
>>723899226>the game is bad because you have to set things up>umm actually the game is bad because you don't have to set things up>ummmmm actually the game is bad because you CAN set things up if you want AND it's bad because you don't HAVE to set things up
