Haven't been following, still no swords?
>>739338147no LOL
cringe viral marketing
>>739338062>Obsessive Rituals now grants 50% less Armour and Evasion Rating (previously 35% less).Just daft
>>739338062i wish this game was good
>>739338062BIGSTINK
>>739338062I aint readin all that, someone tell me what to think about this.
>>739343337Still have to wait for it to surpass the first game
Someone explain to me how this game manages to be 130 fucking gigsit's like 3 hours long
>>739344975Didn't realize how much better the first game was until I tried a random build without a guide and it didn't take 500+ hours of tinkering for it to work
>leech nerfedHahahahaThey really want melee to suffer huh?
>>739346403>leech in general nerfed>classes with leech in their ascendancy buffed>the only classes with leech in their ascendancy are ranged>Bloodmage specifically goes out of it's way to explain that the leech buff only applies to magicWow...Why does Troonathan hate melee???
Chrono lost some synergy but the change to skill speed instead of cast speed on Sands of Time, plus the new notables, is gonna make it a very popular and good ascendency. Shield wall nerf is fucking retarded however. Infernal Legion also got triple tapped
>Warriors main leveling skill damage nerfed by 30% and still has a flat skill timer on it so it can never scale well>Warriors only end game skill also nerfedJesus.
>>739346701hey at least they took .5 seconds off the animation of rolling smash :)))) (as well as a 30% nerf)
>>739346676>>739346701Just noticed the Shield Wall nerf.No idea what I'm gonna play now. I still want to be melee. But I swear they keep fucking melee over.
>>739346761poo2 will fix melee btw (two more leagues trust the vision)
poe died with 3.13

>>739346516>Why does Troonathan hate melee???Because he got bullied by a Chad as a kid. So he hates everything that reminds him of Chad and Masculinity.And now Warriors keep calling him Troonathan. It's a neverending cycle.
The game isn't even out yet?And it's free
I am going to play hollow palm hollow form MA with siphoning strike, it might be retardedjust need to figure out how im going to shock everything
path of kino 2 wonpoopjeet spammers buckbroken
>>739347581december it will have it's "full" release, will it be finished by then? nobut it will be free, so they can have another launch and milk retards for their money again
Free weekend status????
>>739345872because PoE2 actually focused on graphics instead of having a game that looks like low-rez mud.

you're enjoying the vision right poe1chuds?
>>739350891
>>739338165Diablo 4 wonBlizzard won
>looking through anything related to my old builds whether it's leveling or endgame>main leveling skill nerfed>main survivability stat nerfed>main endgame skill nerfedWhat the fuck do I do now?
>>739351483you roll a dex character like joooonathooon intended
last time i played I got to maps and only had like 5 support gems, couldn't do anything interesting much less experiment at all. Looked it up online and this is an extremely common problem the company refuses to fix. fuck you, i am NOT buying currency /skill gems online kill yourselves.
What's the point of even putting melee in the game if they're just going to force it to be shit?
I played for 300 hours when poe2 came out and every single time I've tried playing it again it really feels like one of the most boring games I've ever played. Like, everything is made around the concept of being as boring as possible.I might give it a final try in two years or so, but I'm not really looking forward to it.
>>739351483Feel the weight (of Ranged, not melee)
>>739351693correct
>>739346676yeah I saw all the chrono changes and was dreading how they were going to rework the speed node then was happy to see the change to make it skills instead of just spells.I might actually make another chrono but use a martial staff or something.
>>739349193Is there really none for this patch? Are they that worried about turning people off buying it?
>>739351693>it really feels like one of the most boring games I've ever played>I played for 300 hoursAmazing how often you read shit like this on 4chan.
>>739351963I don't understand why people are like this. If a game bores me I put it away after a couple of hours at the most, annoying long intros in movie games notwithstanding.
>>739338062>no templar>templar was supposed to be in the patch that druid was originally slated to release in before they delayed its release for like 5 months even though they said they only needed like 4-6 more weeks to finish it>don't even get s-words as a silver lining>actually don't get anything at all>except end game "fixes" that don't mean shit because more than half of the content is still missingalright cool
>>739351963To be fair PoE II is incredibly drawn out
>>739351963300 hours for an arpg is nothing.Especially for this idiotic game where everything needs hours upon hours of leveling and farming just to make a basic build work.
erm you didnt play the required 500 hours before passing your judgment on the game
>no new meleei sleep
>>739349319>because PoE2 actually focused on graphicsYeah graphics that nobody can see because the game is so zoomed out and the screen is filled with ridiculous particle effects, great, wonderful.
>>739353167retard
>>739352636>no new melee>current melee nerfedheh, nothing personel, kid
>>739353236lmao looks like a ps3 game anyway
All this content and fuck all to use with same Blue HP classes. Whoever responsible for the balance is a brain dead retard there is no excuse at this point
>>739338062There's so many stupid keywords for every specific case in this game, it's ridiculousPoE1 patch notes were way easier to parse than this>The Aztiri's Acuity Unique Gloves have been reworked. They now grant 150-200% increased Armour, +100-150 to maximum Life, Leech 10% of Physical Attack Damage as Life, and 10% of Physical damage dealt by your Hits causes Blood Loss and Vaal Pact. They also grant the Herald of the Royal Queen Skill. Vaal Cultivation Orb outcomes on Atziri's Acuity have also changed. Existing items are not affected by this change.>Updated the name of the buff that Trinity grants to Affinity (as Resonance is the name of a Keystone passive skill). This is purely a description update.>Minions affected by Last Gasp Support or Tecrod's Revenge Lineage Support and Totems affected by the Unnamed Heartwood Oracle Notable Passive Skill can no longer die during the effect from taking further damage exceeding their Maximum Life.
is the first game still up? i kinda crave it but maybe i just download torchlight.
>>739354352still up and thriving, they haven't killed or put it in maint mode (yet)(offline poe1 wen)
>>739338062I don't wanna do Act 3, maps are too longNot enough support gems drops, you can't have fun at all during levelingShields are still too powerful.
>>739346676I dunno I really enjoyed my ChronoCurse build where I was just clearing screens with doedre's undoing and impending doomIt was very thematic and cool although not very top end, oh well
nothing at all is fun to play in poo2, you have to jump through 500 different hoops for anything to feel good.
>"It is no longer possible to prevent a room being deleted from the temple. Rooms that must be deleted, but have other connections, will be turned into simple Path rooms. This prevents the "snake" strategy."Temple infinite currency cheese got crushed. Now the only reason to do Temple is to beat Atziris well formed ass cheeks.
>>739354513they made it easier.. you have uhhh... trails you can follow now..
>>739346701can warrior swing his weapon while walking yet? yet to see a reason for why melee was such complete dogshit on early release
>>739355667>can warrior swing his weapon while walking yet?That would make the melee feel like shit because half your swings would miss everytime you walk backwards or sideways. The reason why warrior always makes a small dash forward when swinging is so the melee strikes actually land on a moving target.
>>739356032>game auto-aims for you, be gratefulFuck that, I want to do it myself.
>>739355586you dont have to do a lever animation in act 3 anymore so theres that
>>739356173>>739355586jonathan would literally add in sprint, bird trails, leverless pads instead of just adding in a fucking skip after youve done it once
I wanted the campaign to be slower.
>>739356083>Fuck that, I want to do it myself.So play with the WASD controls and warrior dashes where your mouse cursor is.
>>739353167But it does look really good. I couldn't play PoE1 because something about the way everything in the game looks annoyed me. That, and an atrocious balancing.Now it's only atrocious balancing, so I can't play PoE2 either.
>>739351963I wasn't (that) bored for 300 hours because it was a new game. I was bored afterwards, when I had to go through the campaign again. And I've gone through the poe1 campaign hundreds of times, never got bored.
>>739353167>because the game is so zoomed outSo zoom in with your mouse scroll. Dumbass.
>>739356832Would.
cringe
should i boughted diablo 4 with the dlc instead?
>>739356969D4 is brain dead. It's fun, but... no thought required.
>>739356969to play right now? play d4poe2 will be free in december with more content (maybe)
>>739357041>>739357045thanks
>>739338062No swords No contentNo endgameNo fun
>>739356832where she poop
>>739356779>But it does look really goodRealismslop will never ever look good.
>Warrior Rolling Slam + Boneshatter basic bitch combo damage nerfed.Speedrunners ruin everything.
can i play this for free already or is it still in this retarded paid early access scam?
luv d2luv poe1'ate poo2simple as
>>739356032how would it make his melee feel bad every other class can move while using a basic attack other arpgs allow moving while using regular attacks there's legit no reason warrior can't do it>still have to kite dodge and use abilities>but the skill you're incentivized to use doesn't lock you in place like a fucking npc all the time
>>739357927>every other class can move while using a basic attackRanged basic attacks get a movement penalty so its ironically riskier than the melee attack that has a built-in tiny dash forward.
>Azmeri Spirits that are released from monsters now retain their power and empower other spirits released from the monster.Make rippy unrewarding spirits even rippier, what could go wrong.
>>739351483>>739357438>Attack speed has been sped up by half a second>Attack damage has been slightly reduced>Armour has been increased by 30–15% You people are stupid if you really think that’s a nerf. I bet this will be the easiest league for melee, given all the new runes, crafting and items.
>>739358427>Attack speed has been sped up by half a secondThey slowed down Boneshatter animation, so now the combo finisher is slower.
>>739358460Anon, they’ve reduced the attack speed increase from the gem’s quality by 10%, you won’t notice it if you’re using it as part of a combo. It’s a targeted nerf aimed at players who stacked attack speed and used Boneshatter as a movement skill.
>>739358460>They slowed down Boneshatter animationI can't see it in patchnotes, where should I look for it?
>>739358610
>>739358631> Gem QualityAnon...
>>739358586Yeah like I said, stupid speedrunners ruin everything.
>>739346761>meleewait until you realize there is no such thing and every ability in the game is a spell
>>739358681Have you ever seen a speedrunner wasting a gemcutter on the Boneshatter?
>>739358760>Have you ever seen a speedrunnerNo.
>>739346761>Shield Wall nerfAnon. Shields get 30-15% more defence, which means more damage
>>739338062>patch 0.5How long is this piece of shit going to be in paid-alpha? I thought it was supposed to be free to play.
>>739358894Release in December
>>739358894the game doesnt even have SWORDS yet btw kek
When was the last time you were actually excited about getting a legendary in ARPGs
>>739358952still get excited when I see a ring drop in d2 or a shako. or playing a fresh SSF run and getting your first vmagi.
>>739358952Poe doesn't even have legendary items you stupid frog
how many games have been ruined by developer ego? poe2 could've been so good without that retard jonathan at the helm
reckon it'll b good?
So once this game finally releases how fucked will it be? Or is it going to do a reset? Will a new player be absolutely fucked by the economy?
>>739338062I'm not paying for the early access of a f2p game
>>739359056i dont know what you meanyesno
>>739359056The economy resets with every update you stupid tourist. Even the standard league will be split into EA characters and post-release ones.
>>739338147>>739338165I remeber before the game launched or even before we really had any information regarding poe2, some guy (maybe it was a streamer or a reddit guy) said "I predict there will be swords in the game" in jest, like it's obvious an action game would have swords. Little did he know that he would be wrong for a whole fucking year (it's almost 2 years now KEK)
Why the fuck do they want to make a psuedo soulslike arpg... Then absolutely punish melee? I wanted to make a melee sorc for sekhema asala cosplay but it just feels so fucking miserable compared to pure magic builds.
>>739359056>Or is it going to do a reset?Economy resets every single League. So next economy reset is week from now. Your old characters go to Standard League where economy is always fucked.Nobody knows what the economy will be like in the endgame because the changes are too massive. Current Leagues cheese farming strat got completely nerfed for the next League.
>>739359104>you stupid touristNigger you are playing an EA game, do you expect every retard to eat shit like you from day 1? >>739359184Yea I wasnt talking about leagues but the base game. Guess ill skip this one then, I dont care for seasonal games
>>739359056As much as the new game directors suck compared to /ourguy/ Chris Wilson, they aren't retarded enough not to reset the economy every few months like it has been doing for a decade or so now
>>739359250>Nigger you are playing an EA game, do you expect every retard to eat shit like you from day 1?brudda this aint the first seasonal game and this isn't even the first seasonal game from this devit functions identically to literally every other seasonal arpgincluding poe1for yearsdecades if you count d2 ladders
>>739359250Anon, this kind of economic reset every league/season has been a feature of the ARPG genre since Diablo 2.
>>739359154>I wanted to make a melee sorc for sekhema asala cosplay but it just feels so fucking miserable compared to pure magic builds.Just put a quarterstaff on your sorc, its not like the Ascendancies force you to use Staff. Figure out Stormweaver fem-monk build with sorceress. Either that or have Huntress wear sorc net socks instead.
>>739338062>Smith bear wasn't nerfed nice, I get a great lore relevant starter
>>739359250>I dont care for seasonal gamesNothing stops you from just playing Standard League. Only downside is you don't get to test the new League mechanic, you get to play it with a one League delay.
>>739359315>>739359334Hence the question if this game functioned the same way, I like ARPGs but I occasionally like a season here or there. I'm going to be playing the normal base game most of the time. Blindly expecting certain features just leads to disappointment or rage. See how this game doesn't even have swords, can you imagine being a swordfag and assuming an ARPG would have swords?
>>739338062>6 months to just add shit from the first game inI don't understand the poe devs, they seem to have literally only one solution to balance/gameplay problems and that's to add more currencies/pointless talent trees, like how and why?
>>739359250shameless asinine tourist stop fucking arguing if you don't know jackshit about the thing you're arguing about
>>739359495>Crying about tourists in an early access gameBrain damage
>>739359472>I'm going to be playing the normal base game most of the time.New League is the base game but new optional sidequest attached that people get to test out and give feedback about it. If you don't like the new League mechanic simply skip the encounters. League starts are the best chance for anyone to get good trade deals because everyone starts from scratch.
>>739359472>swordfagI don’t understand this autistic behaviour. In almost all ARPGs swords are just stats sticks with nothing interesting to set them apart from other types of weapon. You guys would literally be happy if they added “sword” that uses mace and quarterstaff skills.
>>739359565>League starts are the best chance for anyone to get good trade deals because everyone starts from scratch.Conversely, the longer a league's been out the more items are on the market. High end items will cost multiple mirrors because of all the inflation, but on the low end you can get some amazing stuff for 1/2ex compared to what's being sold for 1/2ex on launch weekend.
>>739359634You seem to have completely missed the point about expectations and assumptions. You also mistakenly believe I am a sword autist. I'm going to dip now, this whole thread is weirdly hostile
>>739359694Probably because you're an idiot.
>>739359686>the longer a league's been out the more items are on the market.Which means the value of items is basically nothing, which means new players will never get ahead in the economy and will never trade any item for more than 1 Identify scroll.
>>739359763who the fuck trades ID scrolls even at league start lmfao
Tempest bells AND ice strike bufffed? its time
>>739338062shitposting aside, why is it so difficult to add different weapons to the game? also why they went for quarterstaff monk when we had fist weapons in the first game?
>>739359634Swords are the normalfag option. That's why any time a WRPG releases stats, 90% of players rolled human male sword and board Paladin. There's a massive amount of NPCs out there that only like vanilla ice cream, warm Budweiser and well-done steak. If they can't play swords they're going to get upset.>>739359763Be real, you're not going to get ahead in the economy anyway when you're competing with autists playing twenty hours a day, Chinese RMT bots and Discord market cabals hoarding the good exploits to themselves. Nothing beyond beating pinnacles interests me, but yes I agree you'll never get ahead of the game in standard league if that's what you want from the game.
>played choronomancer on release because I thought it was cool>underwhelming>read patch notes>just some numbers changes here and thereman there goes my time wizard fantasy guess I'll go back to a dex class
Is it still Path of Energy shield 2 or are other defense stats worth a damn yet?
>>739359871>why is it so difficult to add different weapons to the game?Lots of animations and balancing.>we had fist weapons in the first gameI think you're getting something mixed up, because Poe 1 had only one unique meme item that allowed unarmed builds and it's been unplayable for years now. It’s a bit dishonest to compare it to quarterstaffs.
>>739359043It has no +lvls or additional proj so we'll seeAt best, this'll be a weapon swap item where you stack it's buff before running into a boss arena/during immunity phases
>>739359878>Be real, you're not going to get ahead in the economy anywayFirst 24 hours you can easily sell something for good value. Its just because the autists stay up 30 hours without sleeping to get ahead during first day is why you fall behind.
>>739359871>also why they went for quarterstaff monk when we had fist weapons in the first game?Next League gets new unique gloves that turn your mace attacks into Unarmed attacks. With a system which levels up the gloves if you kill bosses with your fists:https://youtu.be/e2QZNDtJhoM?si=RAqzN3SAWqErPxhM
>>739359634The issue with maces is that GGG believes they should be extremely slow with half of their skills, with a lot of their power budget going into stunning monstersSwords, like quarterstaves should not have this drawback
>>739360059thanks but it's definitely not even close to what I want, I just hope they don't butcher duelist and shadow when they release. meanwhile I'll keep playing sorc
>>739360078Swords are going to focus on Bleed gimmicks 100%. The real question is what the theme or gimmick of Axes is going to be.
>Int minions got raped so hard Kripp is going companions insteadWTF did they DO?
>>739359871They decided that skills should be mostly locked to weapon types, so instead of "add swords" it's "add swords and like a dozen new sword-exclusive skills". Also I'm pretty sure they want to have a sword class to go with it, which means now we're up to "add swords and like a dozen new sword-exclusive skills and the Duelist class and two ascendancies for him and rework the Duelist section of the tree so sword passives exist". And then there's uniques.
>>739359878>Swords are the normalfag optionI was going to argue but you're right. True path of execrement tards are so miserable, autistic and focused on giant screen killing explosions of damage that they would never care about swords or the power fantasy they create.On that note this is one of the least miserable PoE threads I've ever seen, you guys must be hyped.
>>739351963It's the equivalent of doomscrolling.
>>739360191There are no weapon specific classes. Strongest build are Warrior Crossbow builds. They want you to use 2 weapons instead of just 1 and combo 2 simple basic combos together from two different weapon skill trees.
>>739360146Axes will have bleed, rage and a mix of melee and ranged attacksSwords will have elemental attacks and AoE
>>739360270>Swords will have elemental attacks and AoENah, Sword passives are at the bottom at the passive tree, right next to Huntress and Warrior. So its going to be Bleed something for sure. Maybe two handed swords can parry as well.
>>739360235But swords have always been the ultimate one button screen-explosion slop. People seem to harbour some hope that swords will magically be vastly different from maces, but I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, they’re barely any faster.
>>739360059>1 armor per strengthlol
>>739360331There are already item bases and some skills listed on POEDB, and axes have bleedSwords will probably get impale
>>739360446Good point, forgot about Impale being a thing. Weird how spears didn't get much built-in Impale.
>oil barrage, rend and pounceno...
>Witchhunter>Obsessive Rituals now grants 50% less Armour and Evasion Rating (previously 35% less).Fugg
>>739360537Impale doesn't really work well with spears gameplay-wise.
>>739360269I know how the game works, but that's how GGG is designing it. They want every class to have thematic weapons and they're not going to release a new character class without its weapon type or vice versa.>(0.2) huntress = spear/buckler>(0.4) druid = talisman>duelist = sword>marauder = axe>shadow = dagger/trap>templar = flail
>>739360656Armour and EV have been increased by 30% across the board>>739360683These are claws which are now purely DEX weapons.
>>739360683>4 classes still remaining we're really going into 1.0 a year and a half from now on and still not have all classes aren't we?
>>739360668Yeah but it would fit the theme of spears as a weapon class.
>>739360758They said they were willing to release 1.0 without all the classes. We definitely won’t be getting Shadow in 1.0, Templar is highly unlikely, and the other two are highly probable
>>7393607586 months is a long time and we've already seen Act 5 footage years ago. So when all the visual and audio assets are done, its all just about balancing shit correctly. Jonathan x Chris interview Jonnie already leaked out that the planning and concept art phase is already designing 1.2 of the game. So they're having a classic Disney studios type of pipeline going.
>Path of ExecrementWhy is Anon describing his life's story?
>>739359979>balancingGame isn't balanced at all. It never was, and it never will be.>unarmedNot the same as claws.
>>739361071Claws in Poe 1 are just daggers reskin
>>739361136Ok and? I don't know how unarmed is related to claws or daggers at all
>>739338062this is going to kill d4
>>739360758They're getting memed on pretty hard for the sword thing. My bet is that Duelist (and only Duelist) will be in for 1.0.
>>739360270>Swords will have elemental attacks and AoEits a sword. its not magic. why
>>739361236All skills in PoE are magic
lmao they didn't nerf mana stacking?Unserious company
>>739361564I just want hit things with metal stick...
>>739355667They showed off a Flail in some trailer released 1-2 years ago that showed that you could walk in any direction and swing it at the same time.I have no fucking clue why they haven't actually gotten around to making any more melee weapons for EA since they more or less confirmed that this next update will be the last (baring hotfixes) until release, which most likely won't be until the middle of next year with the pace they are currently working at.
>>739361582mage game
>>739361594Technically 3 shapeshift forms all brought new melee skills. Even the wyvern where Alkaizer was abusing the cleave attack.
>>739361236Poe devs are allergic to physical-only builds.Especially in poe2 since brutality support is a fucking meme
>>739361680>Poe devs are allergic to physical-only builds.Tell that to the Bleed huntress.
>>739361586I don't want to hit things with metal stick until holy skills are in.
Can the monk be an actual martial artist fantasy and be unarmed yet?If not, I shan't play
>>739361787yesbut actually no
>>739361787
>>739361675>A weapon type that only 1 class can use effectively since using transformations without building around them makes them complete dogshit and trying to reach them as ANY other class is a complete waste of point.Cool if you like the Druid, it fucking sucks if you want to actually play any other type of melee since we've literally only had mace for 2 fucking years now. Arguably you can abuse Gemling to get something functional with spears but again, that literally only leaves 2 weapon options for melee.
>>739347902cast on crit thunderstorm with shock conduction 2 or orb of storms
poe2 is good, but it needs a campaign skipI'm simply not going to play it more than once a year for a couple weeks if there isn't a way to skip the fucking campaign
someone give me a good+fun controller build please, I have painful carpal tunnel from 20 years of gookclick and literally functionally cannot WASD in this game how it demands
>>739361787>Can the monk be an actual martial artist fantasy An ascendancy literally called "martial artist" is coming this patch>and be unarmed yet?hollow palm has been a thing for a couple of months and they're adding more shit for unarmed in 0.5
>>739338062>ctfl+f>"We unfucked performance">0 resultsshan't be playan
>haven't played since first patch of poe2>look up random video>game is just this nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZgxyp1-qUsjust auto firing screen clearing whatever
>>739359878>If they can't play swords they're going to get upset.Axes, daggers, flails, two handed polearms. Where are they? The game only has three types of melee weapons. Four if you count shapeshifting.I don't care solely about swords; I want the full armory.
Twice I've played and twice I've got filtered as soon as I got to Ngakanu. My build would be going along ok and then literally the fucking first enemy kills me instantly.
>>739362292your performative outrage is tiresome and no longer convinces anybody
>>739362126>here's your slowed down skill based game, bro.
>>739362125they did a little the last patch. problem is server load times
>>739362337sounds like a common issue in the campaign where you are being carried by 1 or 2 decent items, but your defenses get 'checked' finally and everything falls apartyou need to be incremental in your approach to gearing and be constantly updating your stuff or that's what happens unless you are playing a legit broken leveling build
>>739361853>A weapon type that only 1 class can use effectivelyThe fuck are you on about? Strongest werewolf build is Werewolf Monk, not Werewolf Druid.
>>739362398you also have a problem with the game taking 10 years to load?I don't know what their fucking problem is with shaders. Just let the players precache shaders in the menu, WHY THE FUCK ARE WE LOADING SHADERS ON THE FLY
>>739362512yeah it do be like that
>>739362348Performative outrage? There's no performative outrage from me though.And I don't have to convince anyone. The facts are plain as day: it's been almost two years and they've only added two new melee weapons.
>>739362557>pretending to careyou will play anyways
>>739362337>My build would be going along ok and then literally the fucking first enemy kills me instantly.You need more max life or ES in your gear. Remember the most important stats in your armor is Max Life and Resistances. Bigger your health bar is the tankier you are. Same basic rule applies to Souls games too where putting points in Vigor makes the game exponentially easier.
>>739362587When they release the weapons and the skills tied to them I will. Until then I'll continue being as autistic as you.
>>739361732I only play manly melee builds idc
>>739362337That's just cuz Ngakanu hits you with chaos/corrupted blood
>>739362406Care to explain? Does it scale with some unarmed stuff or something?
>>739362927https://youtu.be/4t4kp8YiJTg?si=uqa40duIpRaUz_WaMonk has the Avatar Last Airbender ascendancy that gives bonuses to all but fire damage.
God damn it I was interested in the stag stampede but ruetoo is league starting it, now it'll be pre-nerfed with terrible gear economy
>>739362861Well I don't like it.
>>739362679you will play anyways, see you on the 29th
>>739362974I stand corrected, cool.
>>739362974>werewolf delete- no the ice spells delete
>>739359184this cinematic is making me angry, they are trying to use your biological instincts to make money from you. Reject this scamming technique.
it's ridiculous that a mage is a better tank than warrior
>playing yet another patch instead of just waiting 6 months to play the full campaignyou have to be a bit dumb not to simply wait a tad more
>>739363316>6 monthsLol.Lmao.
so what are some strong build archetypes now? is melee still in the gutter? is ice monk is back?
>>739362974>every class does druid theme skills better than any druid ascendency kek
>>7393633161.0 is next year, exilecon is just date, preview and probably some new project so they can spend even less time on poe2
>>739359557retardhes crying about staple mechanics, ubiqueteous in arpgs. You are a retarded tourist and you need to be euthanized for the betterment of mankind. You are just guessing reality
>>739363316True but Im a slut for challenge sets
>>739363316this patch took 6 months and it features 2 new ascendancy classes bro
>coc untouched >+level untouched >rarity untouched >mana stacking untouched >ms on boots still not implicit better nerf warrior lmao
are spears and bows sitll the best after these patch notes? ( i cant read)
>>739360716>Armour and EV have been increased by 30% across the boardNot fugg. I would play him anyways, so happy to know.
>>739363316>why would you play the game now when you could play it later?wow a riveting argument bro
Does your character name have to be unique still? I hated that it’s impossible to use normal names.
>>739363489>it’s impossible to use normal nameslol
>>739363429actually he lied
>>739363525I mean just a name without having to attach random letters or numbers to make it “unique”.
>>739363316I want to play the game. The new update is just an excuse.
>>739363316yeap just another 6 months...
>>739363542You'll make something new and you'll like it, Kirito
>>739363489you can have normal names just need to set up a autoclicker and get lucky lol.
PATH OF SLOPPY DOGSHITPATH OF JONATHANS SLOPPY POOPSHIT AND EXCREMENT!!!!!
More like PooE2 amirite lolI'll check my way out
>>739363316>campaignWho gives a fuck about that, lmao?
Uh oh ES abuser meltys
>>739363402yes it's surprising but I watched quin69's stream when they apparently said that it releases *this year*. I wasn't paying enough attention to hear it myself.
>>739363649lol you were raped
>>739340839me to
>>739363810campaign is the only reason to play an arpg as a human being. Otherwise you are just a dog led by a carrot that you will never catch. Stop seeing yourself as a debased animal please

>>739363814ES is dead, long live ES
>>739363864I like having more than 6h of gameplay lol
>>739363864But I want to play with different mechanics that Poe has in the endgame
>>739358760>Have you ever seen a speedrunnerunfortunatly /v/ can't stfu about them at least twice a year
>>739338062>BFR gone>replaced by an even worse mongoloid retard
>>739363869I mean- if you like it then good for you, but I don't think it's for me.
>>739363374They quite literally stated "this is the year PoE2 comes out"multiple times
>>739363976>played the season>oh this is the seasonal activity>do it once>ignore every single portal afterwards
>>739364096lol lmao
>>739364096GGG lies a lot.
>>739363929Why?If an experience is fun and satisfying for 6 hours, why should you prolong it more than it has to be?Are you a content brained retard that just needs something to sink their time in day in day out?Have you gotten anywhere in life by playing dozen hours of video games every single day?
>Nerf this>Nerf that>Nerf here>Nerf there>Zero (0) buffs to actually shit skillsWhy?
>>739364096They also said EA would last "six months to a year" back in 2024.
>>739364171trust the vision
>>739364171they dont want the game to be fun
>>739364171the "vision"
>>739364171if you aren't playing the specific builds the devs like you have too much power and must be punished
>>739364212definitively or in a sense that "we don't actually know, but it's what we're aiming for"?
>>739364161post an instance of them lying with proof just one, not your 'opinion', post the actual evidence of a lie convince me, here if your chance
>>739364212i honestly think if the community didn't cum buckets and forced them to work on poe1, poe2 right now would be in way better shape
>>739364453Second oneThis time they’ve actually promised to release the game this year.
>>739358427>slightly reducedIt's been reduced by 30%.Attack Speed on that specific skill is still speed capped. Which means you can never scale it in any meaningful way (An issue for almost all mace skills). Attack speed on that skill is almost useless. That skill was good for leveling because while it was slow and cumbersome, you'd scale it to hit hard and boneshatter explode groups. The loss of damage means you lose stun damage. The increase speed is overall useless.You're an absolute fucking retard and have never played Warrior in any meaningful capacity if you can't understand this at all.>but armor has been increasedArmor is dog shit. Buffing dogshit to slightly better dogshit means nothing. There is a reason why everyone goes ES you subhuman fucking tard.>>739358843It's a flat decrease of damage you fucking idiot. That means the scaling is now worse. >but 30% moreON less flat scale. Jesus Christ you people are fucking stupid. You can't even into basic math.Either that or you're unironic shills. Fuck you.
>>739360446>Bleed AxeThey nerfed Bleed due to Bleed Spear being meta for all of five minutes.Wonder if they'll make changes to Bleed by the time Axes are released.
>>739361732Nerfed into the ground. Blood Mage Bleed Spear was fun while it lasted.
>>739364171Devs really want people to play their very specific builds.Which is the exact reason why POE 2 is getting as much hate as it is. POE1 had this too, but to a much lesser degree. You could see some insanely weird shit at end game and it was great. Now 99% of the playerbase plays the same cookiecutter builds. poeninja proves this.
>>739364882to be fair, people nowadays just copy the best builds too so that data is skewed
>>739363864>this is what snoy moviegamers actually believegrim
>>739362102>an ascendency literally called martial artistand yet there's ZERO martial arts related talents>hollow palmit's literally just quarterstaff monk, stop being disingenuous, you exactly what people mean when we ask for a martial artist monk
>>739364708I played warrior twice and you had too much stun during levelling. The first part of the rolling slam basically always stunned normal enemies even without any gem support. Brink support was basically required and it’s good that they made it available right from the start.
>>739362292the only melee weapon in this game is mace and certain primal skills, everything else is ranged or spells
>1.0 release will still be missing multiple classesa dire state of affairs
>>739365070>only melee weapon in this game is maceQuarterstavesTalismansSpears
>>739365013You're right, you do have a lot of stun. But it's basically all you do have. You're still one of the worst classes (if mace). Leveling is probably the only place Warrior(mace) shines. And now they've taken that away too. There is a reason why people laugh at how shit melee is. And why dumb fucking memes like this;>>739351713keep being made all the time. And it's still fucking relevant.
>>739365128Shields skills are among the best ones for levelling. Overall mace skills are really solid. They’re certainly not bows, but they’re far better than most spells.Totems are getting a nice buff in this patch too
>>739365119>Quarterstaff mage in a trench suit, only melee skill is flicker>Talisman I literally talked about primal skills aka talismans smooth brain>spearswhirlwind galore, also it's not a fucking spear, it's a one handed javelin and GGG isn't going to psyop me
>>739338062>you know what would be cool?>putting chaos damage enemies on the first act when people don't have chaos resistance at allbravo ggg
>>739364882>Now 99% of the playerbase plays the same cookiecutter builds. poeninja proves this.To be fair, if you just look at poeninja, it's the same for POE1. Like 90% of SC player base just copies fubgun's build.>>739365010>and yet there's ZERO martial arts related talentsI'm not sure what exactly (you) consider a "martial arts related talent", but the skill that buffs gloves while unarmed combos pretty well with hollow palm, at least.>you exactly what people mean when we ask for a martial artist monkNo, I fucking don't m8. You already get unarmed animations for all those skills. What else do you expect?
>>739365275>only melee skill is flickerTempest FlurryIce StrikeVaulting ImpactShattering PalmGathering Storm
>>739365119>midrange>midrange>midrangetry again
>>739365318When you see a purple flower on the ground summoned by a scrawny forest witch, you're supposed to get away from it, not sniff it. The flower I mean, not the witch.
>>739365389>I want melee skills>list melee skills>no, I meant only "melee" skills that fit my own extremely specific definition of what melee isHow about you just fuck off?
>>739365402I was thinking about the blood courtesans in the final area that absolutely melt HP bars if you step your pinky in them
since im based i prefer poe1
>>739365336>No, I fucking don't m8. You already get unarmed animations for all those skills. What else do you expect?ntabasically hollow palm but with skills entirely separate from quarterstaff. like grappling, stances or getting hit in the dick with a log
>>739365389Play werewolf.
>>739365606So you want them to spend time to make a whole bunch of skills that only one build of 2 specific classes will be able to use? Sure, sounds like a legit use of dev time.
>>739365559Thats chaos damage? I always thought it was just physical degen.
>>739365606https://youtu.be/qqIOyhzG54c?si=sxknRTinGQczD5_F
>>739365687>So you wantyeah, otherwise i wouldnt have responded to you>sounds like a legit use of dev timewhy the fuck should this even matter to you or me? LOL
>>739365659ntaIs it fun? I did not try it out last season.
>>739365336those are still quarterstaff animations, not to mention some of them are more about shooting projectiles like glacial strike. I want a MARTIAL artist, basically a fighting game character in an arpg, also hollow palm was made to shut people up about unarmed monk without actually working on a new weapon type. all they had to do was make claws the monk weapon and build around that archetype instead, but for some reason they went for the lamest monk possible and make him a discount spellcaster
>>739366029Very fun. You'll notice very clear differences, especially in animation, when compared with the older melee weapons.
>>739366029It is if you like melee combos. In basic combo first you freeze the target with swipe attacks, then you start scratching it so tiny ice chunks come out of it, then you do the double slash jump to detonate all those chunks.
>this threadJust don't play melee then?
>>739365659werewolf druid is what every melee should be, I really hope duelist and shadow will be at least somewhat similar
>>739351387i dont play either of them but lets not be hasty about that oneblizzard aint winning shit
>>739366135>>739366140I'll give it a shot. Maybe build on wolf pets for packmaxxing
>>739366247Duelist probably gets some Parry combo skills because so far we've only seen one from Huntress.
>>739366285Monk is also an option, see: >>739362974
>>739366203Fuck you Jonatroon
>>739363864you're talking to mazed addicts anon. have pity
I cant find a single hideout in this stupid atlas in standard... I only had 1 in the starting areaand yes I used over 20 grand project tablets for it
>>739338062I'm going to play and I'll enjoy it, like I always do, because it's a fun game. Meanwhile you game haters will be here seething or pretending to play some unc slop.
>>739366958ARPGs as a whole are certified unccore
Is this game good? I think poe2 is kinda should be most good diabloid on market? no?
>>739367124>Is this game good?no
>>739359184Nosering queen slay
>>739364171Same thing has been happening with Dota 2 for at least two years now.They are bankrupt on imagination and simply are taking what we had to later introduce it, nerfed, as content.
D4 has swords :)
>>739363831>>739363649
>>739367124It’s still the best ARPG on the market. It’s just been in development for far too long. The main reason everyone’s complaining so much is that they’re tired of waiting for the game to be finished and go F2P.
>>739364096>listening to jonathans sociopath loser lies lmaooogotta be even dumber than listening to trump
>>739367379literally has the worst combat of any modern ARPGliterally has some of the worst system design and skill designmainly is carried by poe1takes all the good parts of poe1 and makes them worseis carried by art and boss fights and music like most of these games with terrible devs

>>739365265Leveling yeah, but leveling isn't exactly that hard. End game though? lol...
>>739367124Yes. It is the current best one. But if you're a casual to the genre its best for you to just wait until the game is free. If you have to choose between D4 or PoE 2, you're comparing 70-150 dollar sunday drive scooter to a 30 dollar proper motorcycle.
>>739338062anyone wanna join my guild?
>>739344975>surpass the first gamelmao. even grim dawn surpassed the first game. it's a pile of shit since 3.0
>>739367768
>>739338062PoE 1 still mogs 2 and it's not even funny
>>739349319So now it looks like high-rez mud instead. Brilliant!
PoE 2 does not stand for path of exile 2, it actually stands for poop of excrement 2, and how poe 1 (path of exile 1) turned into poe 2 (poop of excrement 2)Anonymous Author(s)Affiliation not disclosedDate: May 2026---AbstractThe transition from Path of Exile 1 (PoE 1) to its widely anticipated sequel, colloquially termed Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2), has been framed by developers as an evolutionary leap in action role-playing game (ARPG) design. However, a rigorous longitudinal analysis of core gameplay mechanics, economic stability, and player agency reveals a different trajectory. We demonstrate that under the canonical definitions of system quality—complexity, build diversity, and reward structure—PoE 2 does not represent a continuation of the Path of Exile lineage. Instead, we provide empirical and theoretical evidence that PoE 2 is isomorphic to what we formally define as a Poop of Excrement 2 (also abbreviated PoE 2). Furthermore, we trace the metamorphosis: PoE 1, once a paragon of emergent systems, gradually transitioned into its excremental counterpart through a series of design degeneracies. Our contribution includes a quantitative Excremental Index (EI) and a phase transition model, showing that the titular identity is not a metaphor but a verifiable state change.
>>739367657>D4 or PoE 2, you're comparing 70-150 dollar sunday drive scooter to a 30 dollar proper motorcycle.so diablo4 is better or what?
>>739365592>gets mogged by older sister
>>739367959>Scooter is better than Harley Davidson
>>739368046i dunno nothing about this im not the motoman
>>739338062too muchfuckingROLLING
>>739356241is this what PoE fantards are like? you sound like the nu-WoW player base. your kind is what ruined that game
>>739367972*blows smoke on your face*wrong
>>739367959>overpriced piece of shit that's not worth the money vs cheap crap that might just about do the job
>>739367794why not?
>>739367436>all the good parts of poe1I hope you're not referencing the crafting, trading, currency bloat, power creep and general bloat which actually makes poe the worst ARPG on the market
>>739365592>last frame of webm
>>739367124>is poison good
1.1 is going to have the biggest falloff in history when gamerdads realize they have to do the 60 hour campaign again
>>739367545>amazon werewolfI will probably do this one too based on the prior postsAnyone got a build idea?
>>739368285Alcohol is poison but it's good enough to be humanity's second best friend.
>>739368285yes? what kind of stupid question is that?
>>739368329Last League I did a Bleed Huntress with druids wolf pack as my Companions. Not a meta build at all, the role of the wolves was just to draw aggro and soak up damage. Beat Atziri and Xesht regardless because PoE 2 has less gear checks than PoE 1 and you can compensate for your unfinished build by just playing well enough.
poo2 is probably the biggest waste of 30 bucks ive done. game is just worse than its predecessor in every single way other than graphics
>>739345872It's already confirmed it will be 250gb on launch
>>739368516>t. first in the queue next week.
>>739368516>worse than its predecessorimpossible. every time i looked at poe gameplay i couldn't help but think that its player base got brainwashed by that retarded gameplay
>>739368329the lunar hailstorm skill you get at the end of the werewolf tree is kind of fun if you get loads of uptime on it
>>739368509nta, but wolfpack is genuinely great. played poison pathfinder and used the wolves with the gem that makes them soak up 10% of my damage, as well as the one that casts a random abyss buff on me when one of them dies.
>>739368548nah i booted it up today to give it a shot and see if I have any love left for this genre. got bored within an hour>>739368590dumb nigga, endgame builds are literally the same shit in poe2. both games end up with you blowing up entire screens.
Has Gemling been buffed yet? I played it on release before they gutted it because of all the gay stat-stickers. I want to do another mace run.
>>739368656>nah i booted it up today to give it a shotNo you didn't.
>>739368710
are there permanent skin transfers in the game yet
>>739368734Now show the hours.
>>739368767games bad
>>739368808>100 hourskek see you in the next League queue!
go the fuck back to /vg/ you smelly mutant retards
>>739368842nah I played on launch and then skipped leagues until the last one with Druid. I'll prob wait to try it on actual release at this right. This patch has basically nothing new looking at the notes
the maps don't need to be that fucking bigespecially when you're forced to sprint through 5 empty screens
>>739368942
>>739368808>games badI agree
Why did they take everything from PoE1 but make it retarded
>>739369123They were inspired by you.
>dogshit game reaches thread bumplmfaojonathan really has chink faggots working overtime for him
>>739369165Patch notes just came out along with streamer onions face reaction videos. Thats the reason.
>>739368516I'm currently at 200+ hours played, for just $30. Pretty good deal imo.
it's honestly a good thing they made poe2 just so the shitter devs can avoid ruining poe1
there is absolutely no reason for poe2 to exist
>>739369297The reason: it's a fun game.
>>739369209still literally requires hordes of chink faggotsthe game is dogshit
>>739369504Then why do you keep playing it?
>>739368656>muh endgame fucking MMO brain rotted dumbfuck
>>739369527I dont. I just call it dogshit on /v/, like it deserves
>>739369653>I dontStop lying. I don't like Pokemon but I don't go to Pokemon threads to post how I don't like the game.
>>739369652are you a retard?
>/v/ poe thread>it's filled with the shittiest fucking takes in existence>somehow worse takes than even redditevery time
I like poe2.
>>739356779Sure it looks better than POE1 but if you care about graphics than nothing can beat Diablo 4 so…
>>739363413Every league.Every single league they nerf warrior.What are they smoking
>>739369875same, cant wait to rip another coop.i play this shit like this its gauntlet.
>>739360270But spears got all the bleed stuff already.Why do they even have to be like this. I wan to do bleed on a hammer. Internal bleeding. But no. Look at all these fancy animations we have. Oops. Now we can only afford to animate each skill for one weapon. Probably should have thought about that oh well.
>>739369828ARPGs bring the worse of the worse it being 4chan does not help. Also a lot of blizdrones you know the ones 40y/o clinging on to the wrath of the lich king days praying their childhood darling blizzard will return. Don't take em seriously they are fun to bait
>>739369828>it's filled with the shittiest fucking takes in existence>somehow worse takes than even redditLiterally every thread on /v/.
>>739364937I homebrew my builds and its shit.I don't recommend it.I imagine the game is probably way more fun when you're not constantly getting your balls stepped on by these cunt videogame jannie designers.
>>739370108Just use bleed support.
>>739370076What will be your first character with the update? I'm going to do a martial artist because it looks fun.
>>739370197Its more that many of the skills like blood hunt are restricted to spears.
How do you take like 5 months to do a batch and do MINIMAL balance changes in a game which is super unbalanced?Like the game got 200 skills or so, and like 90% of the players only use the top 5 skills... how the fuck can you look at this data and think its fine?
>>739369652arpgs precede mmos, zoomerfag
>>739370219Herald of Blood + Bloodlust
>>739370227It actually looks a lot better than usual.The top skill is comet at ONLY 27%.I think that's the best I've seen it.
tldrwhats the s++++ starter?
Post em /v/
>>739370227>Like the game got 200 skills or so, and like 90% of the players only use the top 5 skillsIt will always be like that. If 199 skills are perfectly balanced, but there's 1 skill that deals 0.000000000000000000000000000001% more damage than the rest, 90% of players will use that skill. To the average ARPG player anything less than the best of the best is completely unplayable.
>>739370202you must be the marketing dept.most likely going to try the sorc djinn asc or druid.didnt have time to play last league.
>>739370329Yeah and and which attackAnd don't say mace strike I want a REAL answerI just don't get why I can't use one of the 20 other strike skills in the game, why am I limited to perfect strike, boneshatter, and armor breaker? They all feel like shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbPdwx4DSNgOUR BOY HAS THE TL;DR
>>739338062havent played since 0.1whats fixed?
>>739370390Iron Ward
>>739370350No most games try and actually balance their game somewhat and think it's not a good idea that 99% of the stuff is untouched, this is NOT normal.And most games have some kind of fantasy with stuff, like cold spells are often more about control, fire is pure damage, lightning has a bigger damage range (RNG). Daggers are faster and more mobile, but doesn't do as much in a single hit, spears are longer ranged and more of a poke, axes are big fury attacks etc.Poe has nothing of this, you just play a caster that has the current OP spell that does massive AoE, costs no resources to do, is fast to do and is just better in every way possible.Stop pretending every game has shit balance like Path of poo
>>739370360>you must be the marketing dept.that fucking hurt
>nerf melee skills to deal less damage>nerf leeching tooIt's okay, I never had problems getting to red maps.Though, I have to wonder why?
>played gas grenade last league, but now it's nerfed to the ground>the furry grandpa was just ok>ele spellcaster was slow windup dogshit>quarterstaves were great as gemling before they got giga nerfed too>melee is literally worse than PoE1>bleed spear was a slog>skipped LA meme meta, but I wish I didn'tIs it really just tornado and more monkshit this league?
>>739370495>pooWhy is poe/poe2 hate so jeet coded bros?
>>739370343CoC, Varashta chill pops or other (she has the only unnerfed ES recovery node in the game), etc

>>739338147>>739338165>>739359135Like, seriously? Haven't followed this at all.
>>739338062Still better than any other arpg out there

>>739370873All the money goes to advertisement, that's why in every patch you see EVERY big streamer get paid to watch their announcements and then stream the game, places like 4chan gets spammed with threads about the game and extreme advertisement overall.Then 1 week after the patch is released you never hear a single soul mention this game for months until the same thing happens for the next patch

PoE is the best thing we have and only has a few minor problems, stop hating it
>>739343337Lategame reworks look great, some nice QoL changes, but you would have wanted to see some more buffs for weaker abilities. Overall pretty good patch.
Reminder that this game is 100% owned by Tencent, this is all shilling
>>739368329>>739370779As an idea you're closer with Huntress to life flask recovery so that you can take the new chestpiece and combo it with the panther defenses, that way you can ignore shit defenses (non-ward) on the chest and focus entirely on your helmet, gloves, and boots

Doesn't matter how many patch notes they make it still plays like a number go up mobile game.
>>739373449the genre is mostly number go up.play exanima and no rest for the wicked.

>>739373521Yeah it's shit genre I know which is why I fucking hate it. Sometimes I think about playing them but then I remind myself what a retarded particle fest it is and get upset again.
>>739373328Dont pop a vein there
How is torchlight infinite compared to path of woke?
>>739374137BadNo matter how much Poe screws up no other ARPG can even compete with it
>>739338147They're still polishing the swords, okay? Every single randomly generated one.
>>739368808>>739369094The game's really fun, but I just want Swords, Axes or Daggers. I've already exhausted all builds I want to do. 0.5 is probably going to be Facebreaker or Nightfall build and that's about it, unless there's some super interesting Kalguuran skills.
>>739374137poe on methit's pretty fun and the amount of scaling you have to do for endgame [high rank ordrak/ss21/4x gold compass deep space] is crazy
>>739374137>path of wokethe what now
>>739370873this >>739371119see: Fatshark and Darktide
>>739370873What's the metric for "not getting anything done"?If there was no end-game rework, still the same drab atlas, but you got one more act + Shadow and swords, would you be singing their praises instead?Shows where your priorities lie. Current update future-proofs longevity of the game, what you'd wanted gives you short-term dopamine rush, until you deplete the fun out of the character and weapon type, since there's nothing to do with these new toys.
>>739374565>future-proofs the longevity of the game by making melee unplayableSo this is the power of The Vision™
>>739374302do i have to buy characters or something? i cant use abilities
>>739374137P2W garbage. The gacha pets are extremely OP and influence the drops and the player power.
>>739374741Since when was melee unplayable? It's been a screen clearing boss instakiller archetype since day 1Just how fucking shit are you at the game? Abyss made it consistent to just craft ~1000+ phys mauls and equivalent staves and spears along with max + to skillsI'm starting to see the pattern that people crying about the game just don't know how to play
>>739374824Did you start Iris 2? She just has the minion for the first couple of levels, you'll just be supporting thatIt's a good starter. Thea 3 and Erika 1 are good too, though the latter is squishy.
poe2 is just weird manIt's like they got mad that people were going fast in poe1, so they made a game about being slow. But they're terrible at balance so at endgame you still go fast and blow up everything instantly, defeating the whole idea behind the game and making early game way more awful
>>739374979thisi could spend time learning enemy movesets and nailing parries just to barely do 1% of 1 button meta builds that explode everything at the edge of the screen
>>739375156It's genuinely the fanbase's fault. If they don't have broken builds like that, most of the audience won't play, so they throw them some bones every patch, but you're absolutely right that it's totally at odds with the way they're trying to balance the rest of the game.
Didn't /ourguy/ elon solve this game like a year ago? He's a top player while running the biggest company in the world lol.
>>739375276I just think PoE2 is full of contradictions that will bite them in the ass long term. It will be very interesting to see the player numbers this league because if they end up lower than last league (which was lower than the league before it) I think most players just can't be fucked going through the campaign every time
>>739375351Errol Musk is the only Musk that matters.
>>739374979Don't forget they added le dodge mechanic for more tacticool experience which doesnt matter at all if you blow up screens at a time anyway
>>739375675They got assmad people demanded they add sprint too, so it stunlocks you for 3 seconds if a ranged mob hits you 1 time
>>739375531People only care about the campaign, each league they beat the campaign, reach endgame and quit playing the game.Endgame in these games sucks so much
>>739375649I don't know who that is but Elon is better at the game than anyone whiner in this thread.
>>739375884Elon Musk's father, had two children with his former stepdaughter.
>>739375734sprint is actually fun to useproblem is everything is 2x larger than it needs to be so you'll be sprinting through pointless empty areas
>>739375974is this supposed to upset me? Because it's doing the opposite
>>739375790>theyc are about the campaignNo. The campaign is the same. They just add 1 new mechanic and create new ladder. So now people want to make their number go up again because its neeeew. Once their number is higha gain they quit and wait for another neeeeeew thing to start number from 0. This genre is just filled with monkeys.
diablo 2 is the only game in this genre I need. new ladder tonight lads
>>739376218The endgame is also the same, you will be running the same maps over and over and over again. Only difference is that you now have to deal with 10 more different currencies that just takes up your time to prevent your from actually playing.The campaign is the only actual fun part about this game
>>739338062>Removing Chrono recoup
>>739376378My gripe with that post was that you're calling it campaign when really nobody gives a fuck about story or any of that. They just do it because number goes up faster. But after maps it slows down so much they don't get enough dopamine to continue. So now they wait for the number to be forced back to 0 so they can make it go up again while being motivated by the herd mentality of *everyone else* doing the same.
>>739376560No during the campaign you have lots of variation, the zones you enter are all new and unique, you get new skills and interactions, new bosses etc.Maps is doing the same few maps over and over and over and over and over again with close to no variation all bosses except the end end game bosses you do once in a blue moon is just old bosses. There's nothing new or nothing to actually strive for.
>>739376503no way, what a shame.wish chrono had more weird time-manip skills.
>>739376660Aren't maps just like remixed campaign biomes with higher level. And new bosses come on they play same bosses million times.
>>739376739>Aren't maps just like remixed campaign biomes with higher levelThat's the exact thing, when you reach endgame all you do is clear the same old map you've already cleared over and over and over again.
>>739376816>the same exact mapYou never even played these games wtf
>>739376660>>739376739>>739376816Poe endgame has more variety than campaign. Half of the mechanics, items and skills are literally unavailable until you venture onto the maps. Most bosses exist only on maps and in other endgame mechanics. Campaign is basically a tutorial leading up to the main (end) game which also has its own quests, progression system and passive tree.
>>739370980The genre is not for you then.
>>739377038But it's sad that the depth of the game and mechanics is just there for the sake of depth and game still plays the same where you spam 1 skill to kill the whole screen.
I'm on a macbook and my macbook crashes playing path of exile 1 and im not gonna use crossover to play diablo 2 resurrected or diablo 4 or last epoch or poe 2 so im stuck playing native diablo 3. yep...im gaming!
>>739370573>Though, I have to wonder why?They hate fun. I'm willing to bet it's the same faggot(s) that pushed the leech nerfs in patch 1.10 of Diablo 2.
>>739377138There’s real depth here if you actually try to engage with the game instead of just following a guide for an obviously broken build and buying every item. Even a one or two-button builds can be fun if you make it yourself and fine-tune it to the point where it can take down endgame bosses and T15 maps.
If you're no longer playing as exiled why is it named path of exile 2?
>>739377323You're playing as exile.
>>739377290If reading keywords is hard for you I guess yeah it can be quite exciting.
>>739377387I guess you find them hard to read, since you’ve decided to mention them. I can’t see why else you would mention such trivial matter.
>>739377375I thought you were playing as prisoners?
>>739377515Before all this hanging every new character had been exiled in some way.
>>739377508Because that's how you build your character. Pick the nodes that work with your skill and then get every life/shiedl on the way and 2ndary defense like evasion or armor on the way you like.
>>739377701>life nodeI see no point in arguing with someone who hasn’t even played the game.
>>739377760Strength in poe2, same shit.
>red life in poe2laffin
>>739377927It's too late, you've already proven yourself to be a complete idiot who doesn't even know what he's talking about.
>>739378070You're on par with people who call quits because someone made grammatical error. You just want the easy win because you're afraid boohoo.
>>739338062>0.5>2 years for this update>still early access
>>739378126Anon, both of your posts are wrong. There’s no Life on the passive tree and there are only two STR clusters which together give you like 150 Life.
still not buying it not even for $5it's f2p game and will treat it as such
>>739378323But somehow I had like 300 str on lvl 80 and below 20 dex and int.
>>739378459Probably because you had it on your gear you moron.
>>739378580Gear is part of your build.
Why are they pigeonholing everyone into playing their showcase twister build?It's literally going to be 90% Twister builds on launch.
>>739376503the recoup is now spread on the passive tree, available for every character30% dr is already going to be busted as shit with any amount of recoup
>>739378762nah fubgun will play iceshot and bleed off a decent amount of people thankfully
>>739378762Twister is fucking BORING, spearfield is much more fun
>>739379145>spearfield is much more funagreed using it with atziri's spear was neat
>>739378762because it'll be funny when everyone quits day 2
