Having to log is unironically more ethical than pausing, at least logging takes you completely out of the fight and newer bosses reset mechanics if you do so, with pause you can just spam it frame by frame to perfectly dodge everything lmao.

Solution for campaign/maps gating.


Atlas 'endgame' needs to be a mode independent of the campaign and available from the start or very nearabouts, but designed in a way where it is gated and unlocks portions/elements as you progress campaign. You also cannot gain XP in the atlas until you beat the campaign.
This way you don't overlevel in the atlas and then jump back to act1 and stampede it at a broken level.
Say you decide you want to start mapping in Act1. The gear you find is only act1 appropriate gear, and the maps and modifiers you can run are limited but not a thing you need to farm for unlock, you treat it more as a roguelike where it's just fully random and you drop in, change it where each map has some giga chest in it somewhere always and you get loot from it.
The point is to have procedural, player curated fun available immediately. Make the maps require ingredients or keys that you unlock as you progress the campaign, and running maps in act1 is just like a fun thing you do to farm for some currency or items that are suitable for that level, the maps themselves very Act1 thematically. You unlock all the tilesets and bosses of maps by playing through the campaign.
At any point you can take a palette cleanse from campaign and go do some randomised procedural fun content of your choosing and get mazed for a while and then step back into campaign and resume when you found some sick unique item that will enable your build at that level or something.

The concept of "endgame" is whats killing this game series. That you need to complete all the campaign content to start engaging with your own content, this is abhorrent.

>>537453394
I was playing tactician cannons with explosive grenade earlier. Pretty sure I'm supposed to use gas grenades instead, but they tank my framerate.

How's your clear? My biggest issue wasnt dps, it was the long-ass lead time for placing 3 totems every time i want to kill anything.
Also, how's the defense?
>>

leap slam boneshatter is still very viable
together with sprint it has a very nice flow
leap slam > roll > sprint is actually fast leveling and if you keep your wep up to date normal mobs get killed by just the leap

Imagine if SSF players could go trade for a build enabling item and then go back and keep playing SSF. There is no difference between this and a man who has log out pedaled or paused in a fight. Spiritually, your character died. You are merely too much of a coward to accept it.
>>
lower enemy move speed, attack speed, and damage. increase base player move speed and attack speed. raise effectiveness of armor, evade, and energy shield. increase rare loot drop rate. buff every build to be as strong or stronger than lightning arrow dead eye. there you go, game fixed and everyone showers it with praise.

Health/armor defense is shit, because what you consider "tanky" now in act 4 is basically as good as it gets. Maybe 2x tankier in maps.
Meanwhile, people run 10k ES are significantly better than you at physical max hits. But then they're also way way better at elemental maxhits with no extra investment, and then chaos as well despite ES being nominally weak vs chaos. Unless you're standing still in a pile of 10 level 40 bug enemies for 3 seconds, red hp is comparatively worse than blue hp across the board.
>>

>>537453456
Not really. Mortar cannon cluster grenade is OP (you effectively bypass CD by spawning totems), but the framerates are awful with constant yanking. Like 20 fps with 13700k and RTX 4070.
>>537453601
Haha, just saw this. See above. Clear is great with cluster. You can effectively adjust clear vs. single target with proj speed and fuse duration.

>>537453697
You HAVE to spend your currency attempting to craft your gear during the campaign, spend your gold gambling, if you literally have currency orbs in your stash you're fucking up.
It's the entire reason they added res penalties each act instead of delaying it to the mid and end of the campaign, to force you to constantly upgrade your gear.
You need to change your mindset from PoE 1 where you can use a 3 link wand from Act 1 through to maps.

>>
>>537454253
you are right, no argument here. Warrior unironically feels pretty good in campaign once it gets rolling. beautiful animations too, compared to bow shooting.

>>537454285
Unless they stealth buffed the formula, yea still pretty awful with even 100% armor to ele. Keep in mind the armor/ele nodes are spread out pretty far, if you want close to 100 it's a huge investment. But let's say you have.. idk, 15k armor and 4k hp. Im sure you can get bigger numbers but it's a reasonable base for mapping.
Now let's say you get hit by a pretty light elemental blast, does 4k damage so just 1k after your 75% res. With 15k armor applied to ele, you will now take 27% less damage, or 730 instead of 1000. With larger hits, like if you actually want to take pinnacle boss attacks, the numbers plummet to approximately nothing.
Now let's say you run 10k ES with CI. Instead of being 30% tankier vs phys/ele, you're... 300%. And instead of having no chance in hell of ever surviving a pinnacle boss flashy ele attack, you can literally stand still in the middle of the arena and refuse to dodge one of their gigahits then shake it off.

there's no semblance of balance. They did not even try.

>>537455110
correcting myself, I said no chance vs a flashy ele attack. Armor is, of course, also worse vs phys than every other defense type.

see >>537455110

For reference, the guy in your video has less than 10k armor. He has invested 23 points into armour at level 77.
His max phys hit is now... 3000. And his max ele hit is 10k at 78% resist.

u gotta remember what makes something "good" vs "bad" is not "Can this survive maps"
It's "Can I accomplish similar results to other defenses, given a similar amount of investment?" And given a lich with 6 points in ES would be tankier than him, I'm gonna say no.

This is the ultimate trvthnvke ARPGniggers have been too mazed to see for YEARS now. The idea that people unironically sit down every few months to play the exact same fucking campaign for the 100th time is insanity. Wanna raise a new character? Start running that campaign sissy. People, actual adult human beings, spend HOURS blitzing a campaign to level alts. Only to do it again next league!!! And the league after that!!!! Do you know how you engage with a new Fortnite season? Destiny 2? Hell ANY other live service slop? You boot the game up and press play. The ARPG that discovers this notion will be the true next evolution of the genre, akin to mankind developing agriculture and domesticating animals. Everyone will look around at trash like poo/poo2, Diablo, etc., and realize how goddamn lobotomized they were becoming playing the same shit every 4 months. It scares me deeply that some people out there are able to shut down their mental facilities just to play shit like this. I like the games too, but Jesus Christ have some shame. There isn’t a single game out there worth its salt that asks you to be a good boy and replay it for the thousandth time. Just brutal sweatshop factories, and people pull their bank accounts out like animals to piggy up for cosmetics.

The reason people are hate the campaign is because it drops no loot. That's the actual reason. You are making near 0 div/h while doing the campaign and that's why people want to get it over with ASAP. Adding a shitty atlas mode that also gives you 0 div/h wouldn't do shit

>The concept of "endgame" is whats killing this game series.
counter point: the endgame should be the campaign stuff similar to diablo 2.
Different areas should have different types of challenges that different character builds can do more efficiently than others, so you can feel like your choices matter and you are one of the few guys who picked X class with Y spec so you can farm Z area better than everyone else and get these rare weapons and crafting mats more efficiently than anyone. as opposed to every class being judged by how well it can farm maps in general you will have characters that are just for bosses, just for large packs of monsters, just for certain types of monsters or areas. Hell you could even have characters who are just about sneaking/running by monsters avoiding attacks and environmental hazards and opening chests for a theif type playstyle.

In order to limit power creep through the campaign the stat system should be more like D&D where characters attributes hover around 15-25 depending on what they specialize in. gear could be stat increases but rarely raw attributes. Level ups give perks or feats but rarely raw attributes. this would allow encounters to be more tightly designed around a baseline of health and damage coming from players while still allowing for progression and choices in character building

basically poe2 idea of bringing gameplay to poe2 could work but its not great with their stat system from poe1

wow thats actually fanastic. I havent seen that before. But still, same problem with bosses and chaos, and its still objectively worse than easier defenses at much higher investment.
But you could shave almost half off 1000 damage ele hits. or like 25% if you just pick up prism guard, wear the belt, and hit 10k armor instead of going balls to the walls for 100% and 15k.

point being, if we're trying to btfo jonathan and play armor on red maps I think it could work out. but you'll always be btfo by someone who just plays a real class with real defense.

You think they made 20+ NPCs and hired individual voice actor for each just for shits and giggles? Hinekora was constantly spoiling PoE 2 lore during ToTa League as well and Kaom kept talking about "trial" all the time. It was obvious ToTa was going to be a trial.
>>
that entire spiritual sequence in the afterlife was so fucking long and took fucking forever. Even if you speedrun it, theres like 7 spots where you are gated to beat a few waves of enemies to slow you down. Theres also a tough fight at the end

act 4 wouldnt be too bad to replay if you could skip this but you have to fucking do this insanely long sequence just for max res and 2 skill points. I dont wanna do this quest every 4 fucking months

what the fuck was jonatroon

Jonathan said they buff the armor, but he never say it will be good, got you again, anons
>>
>>537453167
just make it so you can actually progress stuff while campaigning. grim dawn does this by having reagents, reputation, multiple grades of MIs. diablo 2 does this by target farming good early game gear, and even farming some low, mid runes and pgems on the way to hell isn't bad, and there are a number of items that can be insanely good and obtained very early in the game.

at some point, BFR went insane and decided that the campaign shouldn't drop shit making the whole experience a pointless slog waste of time. all they need to do is add in some target farming opportunities which would still be objectively worse than farming maps, but would still feel good for poorfags

Weekend is coming to an end...

Been a fucking blast. Got through the acts way quicker than I expected. Act 4 was kino, best act yet for sure. Getting through the map tiers was also comfy, think I was one of the first people who found a "Heart of the Well", when I got mine there were only 3 listed on trade. Already managed to kill t2 Xesht and the Abyss pinnacle (which was cool).

New crafting and async trading make gearing more fun than ever. Literally didn't buy a single piece of gear yet.

I've been farming t15 since mid-afternoon today. Didn't get to tower stacking yet, but so far the mapping experience feels far better than before. All the new maps really make a difference and Abyss is GIGAKINO, probably one of my favorite league mechanics yet.

Loot levels feel really good. I barely started stacking IIR, but I still already drop enough currency for solid crating. Gear drops feel mostly meaningless unless they are t5 or white however.

Underwhelmed by the new gems and lack of new uniques.

Overall strong 9/10 for me.

>at some point, BFR went insane and decided that the campaign shouldn't drop shit making the whole experience a pointless slog waste of time.
Back in PoE 1 Betrayal League everyone was farming Betrayal in campaign because the rewards were good enough and it was safer and faster. If you give too much good stuff too early in Campaign, you run the risk of everyone just farming the campaign instead of maps.

These new nodes seem good, but they're all the way in Warrior. Is this really just for totems, or will supports/minion builds in the future path all the way over here for these? Its 72% ally damage in total.

yeah but at least you can skip that and do the desert trial since doing 3 floors isnt hard. You do not need your 3rd ascendancy immediately

meanwhile that spirit sequence before is a never ending hallway with multiple sections that stops you and you HAVE TO DO THAT

Whats the point of having 1000 different skill gems and 100 different classes if everyones going to play Lightning arrow? Skill gems are doomed to fail from the start

I think they'll keep as is. The "unique supports" was an experiment that just doesn't work imo. This system is much better especially if they're expecting us to use lots of abilities.

they are more than capable of making the zones smaller, they just dont want too

Theres some obvious areas they can just merge together just like they did in PoE 1 back in the day. Manor multiple levels and Dreadnaught being 2 parts instead of 1 being most obvious examples. Lot of Act 4 areas won't get shorter because most islands are 2 unique areas with unique tilesets.

NO actually, DoT magnitude is not buffed by any of your increased damage.
Chaos will increase your base hit and thus the poison, but it wont turn around and buff the poison itself. You need support gems or something explicit like Poison Magnitude/Ailment Magnitude for that.

Campaign is the good part though. If you want to spam meaningless procedurally generated zones then maybe some indie roguelite trash is a better fit for you.

"Endgame" in every single diablolike has always been trash. The good part is the journey.

>poe2 could work but its not great with their stat system from poe1
I don't necessarily think you're right about how you'd want the stat system to be but you're right about PoE1 stat system not fitting PoE2. They need to redo the whole damn thing. Itemization is basically exactly the same as it was in PoE1. A good rare looks about the same in both games. It doesn't work for PoE2.

Why do you gotta do it 3 times in a single league?

Diablo 2 was fun every time you went through it. Even PoE1 campaign is fun when you approach it differently. Of course it's miserable when you think of it as a chore to get to maps.

They should add a skip campaign option to PoE1 so folks like you can go back there and stop trying to ruin PoE2.

people bitched about diablo 2 campaign all the time. particularly act 2 and 3.

People like bitching. They still play the game. Maggot Lair and early Act 3 were the worst parts of the D2 campaign so people would bitch about them. That doesn't make the campaign bad. Worst parts of a great thing doesn't mean thing bad or that the worst parts are even that bad. People just really like bitching. You see it here too.

increased chaos does not increase your poison damage unless the base hit is chaos. physical damage can poison as well, so it depends on what you're using to poison if increased chaos/physical will increase your poison damage.

No maybe when they unbug the ancestral totems and buff mortar totems / lower the restriction on grenades with them
Currently totems require you to either create a fissure for shockwave to do damage or require shots to supplement grenade damage

The fundamental problem with this shit fucking game is that it's designed for you to play it in one specific way per class, only as the developers intend for you to play it.
You get very gimped very fast if you try to experiment or do anything fun with your build.
You are EXPECTED to follow build guides.

The closest you get is the new mortar cannon and you still wanna run explosive shot to detonate the grenades faster.

As far as spells go they kinda suck. I tried twinking the shit out of Living Bomb in 0.1 max +spell level gear and got carried to full 8 points ascendancy in act 2 and it still didn't deal enough damage to comfortably clear while leveling. Now Living Bomb got changed so you can't even play it like that anymore. Tried the same with Bone Cage thinking you could turn it into a damage skill with shrinking it down but they coded it retarded and the spikes also get smaller not just the area so it's fucking inconsistent where it hits. Also does not do enough damage even if you max twink gear it. Ice Nova does half the damage of BC so that's a no go.

One thing that MIGHT work is Orb of Storms with Living Lightning. I don't know if you can squeeze damage out of it but it would make for a smooth playstyle if you can.
>>
If I pick the physical damage node, will the ability that covert physical dmg to elemental also benefit from it?
>>
>>537473885
they do go on sale but not as frequently as tabs. as for the time, if it's in the shop as a standalone mtx it will be there forever. if it's part of a mystry box it will be exclusive to the box until the league ends then it will move to the shop, if it's in a supporter pack or core pack then it will be gone when the league ends for the supporter pack or the year rolls over for the core pack.

I have proof that Jonathan and his friends have been gang stalking me for years because I was the first to call him out on his lying. This is the biggest reason why the game doesn't get updates because he is bitter about it and wastes most of his time trying to hunt me down.
Just the other day while I was out late at night on my weekly grocery trip I heard a car backfire and when I jerked around in surprise at the noise all I saw was a fat man laughing and holding up 2 fingers. I ran inside the store and told the security guard about it but he just ignored me and said if I didn't leave him alone they were going to ban me from the store and I can't let that happen because it's the only one in walking distance of my apartment.

what annoys me is when ggg tried to get poe 1 ready for the update everyone threw a bitch fit to the point of ggg saying fuck it and broke poe 2 off into its own game.
then they added half a dozen mechanics to the basegame giving people exactly what they wanted, but that wasn't good enough.

PoE2 being broken off into its own game was one of the few good decisions they've made in the last 5+ years. They looked at what PoE1 had become and realized they didn't want to make PoE2 into that. It's just that they keep slipping and taking ideas from PoE1 and trying to put them into PoE2 and it doesn't work.

PoE1 is holding PoE2 back.

>Keep in mind the armor/ele nodes are spread out pretty far, if you want close to 100 it's a huge investment.
meanwhile warriors get easy access to 60% armour applies to all elements beside their starting point. the "spread out" part is for specific elements, which you dont need to get every one because of pic related. Its a stat you find on gear now, it can go over 30% for each armor piece. You also have unique which help. This sort of gear here drops early in the campaign, not only is it obvious that some of these doom posters dont play the class they doompost about but its suspect if they have even played the game since the latest patch.

And when you show them they are wrong about soemthing in campaign they move the goalposts and say it wont work in maps, or if it works its slower than another build. They developed a complex around doom posting.

armour applies to ele is just weaker than max res, which is harder for warriors to get now. if it applies after resistance and/or the armour formula were buffed, it would be a different story. but they decided to implement half a buff that equals out to a nerf.

the reason so many people don't like the league is because they fell for the lightning arrow deadeye meme. that build feels like shit to play and isn't nearly as strong as retards claim. IF you get a really good bow it is really good, but not like the only good build in the season. I had a significantly easier time leveling hollow palm invoker than I did lightning arrow and it was a lot more fun.

if the boss aggression is your problem then that is literally a skill issue, they all have plenty of breaks to res teammates and fire off your combo rotation. desu the bosses are the only times im ever really using roll purposefully and not just spamming it because im surrounded by mobs.

Act 4 is high quality content

I'm not talking about endgame, haven't got there yet, but today, I played an awesome single player action rpg game, with rich lore, many Voice Acting, plot twists, dialog humor (playing Witch), nice visuals, rich details, high quality world design and I forgot I was playing a Path of Exile game. It looked just like a nice and top notch a single player rpg.

I don't know if this is because I wasnt expecting such nice quality or what, but I really enjoyed it.

In comparison, just Act 4 alone, with this amount of content, quality, details and lore, would easily be a $30 USD expansion in Blizzard hands.... And on GGG hands, it is just 1 of 6 acts.

So I'm really looking forward for the next 2 acts and I can't wait to see what they will cook next.

Congratulations for all GGG, it is a nice piece of work.

Proj and insane clear has always been popular on league start on PoE. I played proj well before ascendancies even came out in PoE1... LA, ice shot, TS have always been ridiculous. It's just a POE thing.

Strong league starts are always what everyone flocks to if they're playing hard early and want to collect an advantage. It's to collect currency with minimal investment to clear quickly in order to invest in something fun you want to play later. A day 1 headhunter is insanely cheap so that's what I bought last night.. but doesn't mean you'll never get a headhunter if you don't hop on the gravy train early.

Yes, some classes need work, some classes need figuring out, some things literally don't work but don't get upset and stop trying to figure something out because everyone flocked to a meta and you think you're missing out.

In 0.1 I played off-meta to carry sekhema, 0.2 again, and 0.3 we have tactician and weird warrior in the squad. If you let FOMO dictate how you have fun on the game, which I constantly see due to the content creator cycle, you will kill your ability to find the fun. Living bomb was fun in 0.1, blood mage was fun in 0.1/2... I loved my earthshatter titan in 0.1 which was "unplayable" as I was carrying everyone's 4-floor sekhema and rolling in divs.

The campaign is awesome, yet everyone wants to skip it because they are feeling the FOMO of not mapping early. Even though our squad rushed the campaign areas we've done before, we did the new area very slow, clicked every readable, listened to every voice line.. And we still have day 1 chase items and are mapping. This campaign is amazing. Why does an ARPG not need a campaign?

This thread wants PoE2 to be Torchlight Infinite, and although that game has its merits and can be fun, PoE2 does something no other ARPG, even PoE1, does and I love it.

Focus on the fun, focus on figuring out the characters, and if something literally doesn't work that's what reports are for.

Why is it ALWAYS
>announce giga buffs for everything
>actually its super duper nerfs for 99% of the game
>*start buffing stuff here and there*
>community starts praising ggg

Every single league in poe1 has been like this
Every single new poe2 release has been like this


A fucking toxic relationship this is

These mini acts are kino and should be part of the main game, even if they have to be optional.

I'm having fun in the interim acts and I kind of don't want to get to maps because I don't like the poe 2 atlas.

Because people have recency bias
>>
>>537488947
because they know if they nerf bow builds without having an otherwise healthy meta (which they're not even remotely close to at this point) that 80% of their playerbase will simply quit and never come back.

>make spear chucker
>get ascendancy
>it don't feel no different
It used to be ascending felt meaningful.
The only thing that makes any meaningful difference is getting a weapon with more dps.

Thanks, I bought him myself.

Weapon bases improve as you progress. find a white bow that is a better base then add a blue orb and hope you get lucky with a decent mod, if you do then keep adding orbs. Or check vendors. This is how i got like 90% of my upgrades. If you are in trade league then just buy a better one for an exalted orb.
