PEE PEE OF POO POO
When is the new pooone season?
BF6 season 1 and new POE1 league both end of october why is it the same time goddamn it
>>541276470it's over
>>541276470soon
>>541275283PEE OR EXCREMENT 2
The cut to the number of monsters in maps makes everything feel so fucking shit now.
Prediction:>Surely people will praise and love us if we remove towers mid patch>they will love it so much, surely we can sneak in a little nerf>they won't even mind if 3.27 gets delayed another 4 months for it
>Sad news, Exiles>The last guy who knew how to make new leagues in POE1 just quit>We have all the art and game mechanics ready, but no one else knows how to put a new league in the database and make the servers point to it!>Crazy, I know>Anyway, we've decided the time is right for POE1 EOS
>>541278580Quit = got fired
Just finished act 4 + interlude and while I liked act 4, looking back it's pretty weird how relatively low stakes and slow the pace of PoE2 is compared to 1. For example, Act 3 and 4 could have easily been just 1 act, story wise. Also I'm probably biased for considering part 2 of PoE1, but it does make our PoE2 character feel like jobber when we're just fighting the dredges and followers of the gods that our PoE1 character already slayed.
>>541278823It's a metaphor for the power level in poo2 being lower by a lot.
>>541278823It doesn't help that you are getting cucked at the end of every act by some girlboss with plot armour. In fact, all of the act bosses either survive or have your kill stolen by some other fuck. Also fuck the forced walking, I swear its like they were looking at Sony games that were getting popular 5 years ago because people are already sick of these movie game slop shit.
>>541279075>you are getting cucked at the end of every act by some girlboss with plot armouri think they are doing this on purpose, ironically
>>541279313obviously they're doing it on purpose
>>541278919PoE1 also really ramps up the what the fuck meter hard. Act 1 was pretty grim, Act 2 was so-so, but then Sarn happens where it goes full Fall of Rome degeneracy and hell raiser, then it just ramps up until Oriath in Act 5.Granted 2 does have its moments but it's all localized affairs and you don't really feel like the game is becoming more and more batshit as it goes as is often the case in ARPGs.
>>541279887That is because jonathan hates things going batshit, he loves to humiliate players over and over.
>>541279995Instead it just feels like the player is going around sight seeing. Fitting how Act 4 is just a leisure cruise in the not!pacific. Granted I enjoy playing through act 4 because the different maps and locales don't get stale but it's not as oppressive as PoE1.
>>541280184They lost erik and chris, the people who made the story of poe1 and were the soul of the company.
yeah...I think i'm done. made like 40 divs since patch, but to what end? the endgame is still boring. anything not an overrun map or ilvl81-2 zone is a poor yield. I can only get hyped over so many single divines a map. and rerolling sucks.i'll see you guys in the next poe 1 league and 0.4. hopefully Jonathan resigns by then so we can finally move forward with a good game.
>>541280450Even if Jonathan resigns, the skidmarks of his shit will drag on for years to come.
>>541280184>>541280379it's a daring narrative break from diablo 2 that creates a deeper and more believable wraeclast>deeper lore = more opportunities for future monetization
>>541279887one of my favorite things about poe1 is how the story ramps way the fuck up and then just keeps going until you're canonically a total fucking psycho creating dream worlds just so that you can slaughter as much shit as you possibly can. call me crazy but I find that a lot more interesting and entertaining than whatever marvel movie shit is going on in poe2
>>541281280It's more believable to be a janitor rather than a godslayer, but it's also way less immersive.
Can you use Lich Ascendency Eternal Life and Demon Stitchers at the same time?
>>541282345it removes the ES
>>541282521Nothing says that.
Did they nerf rituals? I'm not getting as many points as I did before the patch in like half my maps.
>>541282306>endgame is to be doryani's corruption janny foreverhm... maybe that's why people don't like it
>>541282586?
Full power Kulemak is deleting my ass over and over, am it skil issue?
>>541282916?
>>541282970alright i thought you meant the helmet, it doesnt change anything you dont gain ES from casting it stays the same
game was fine a patch ago, now it's complete shit, don't even care to start it anymore, world map is dead why bother at least there's poe1 ruthless to look forward to
How the fuck do you make a good cold sorcerer? I swear the ice spells have half the base damage of other elements and you need to literally play piano to combo off all the shatter wall gimmicks
>>541283215I don't mind the tower change but I hate how dull maps are baseline now. Why even have the infinite atlas system at this point?
>>541275423feels like even entering a map is a waste of time honestly booba
0.3.2 will fix it
How have some people been consistently chaining herald of thunder with the breachlord supports? I've mainly only seen people using herald of ice but people have said it's possible with the other.
>>541283382You can't get a small positive without 2 large negatives. It's how Woodful does business.
well ggg?answer him
>>541283995>acting like tedious combo gameplay is le good in an arpg you grind for long sessions
>>541283869Heralds can proc from the explosion on armour break support
Poo two is OVER. Accept it anons.
>>541284080I tried the armor explosion, smelting, and embrace setup. And armor explosion, shock, and radiance setup and it neither seem to be consistent as herald of ice.
>>541282848Speaking of doryani, I think the reason people or the mc in the game is so forgiving about Tavakai just casually massacring half his tribe is that you're already in bed with a bunch of mass murderers, Doryani included. Besides the ezomytes in Act 1 who are just trying to survive, in Act 2 and 3 you are siding with a bunch of fascistic matriarchal arabs, a bunch of treasure hunters who only care about gold and tribals who just want other tribes dead. You character also has no qualms whatsoever about murder either as long as the victim is not on their side.
How do we keep up with this level of retardation?
>>541284240Perhaps you aren't applying shock as consistently as freeze with your setup? Do you have cold damage on weapon or extra freeze chance from something that could be making HoI pop more consistently than HoT?
>>541284380Towers were the SOVL of the endgame/poeg/ is a pro-towers general
>>541284581>simping for a rotten soul on a rotten gamePoE1 mogs poo2 any day of the weak, hopetranny.
POOP OF EXCREMENT TWO
Build for this feel?
>>541284789>>541284723Find a rope and use it on your neck, tr/a/nnies.Poo2 dogshit.
>>541284826Why are you obsessed with trannies?
>>541284620except in playercount LMAO
>>541285525GGG is actively sabotaging PoE1, while marketing poo2 to high heavens. This is to be expected, but also will not be a thing for much longer.
>>541285162he either got rejected by a transqt or is an egg that's yet to crack
>>541285570seems more like they're sabotaging PoE2
>>541285570so true, sister
>>541285624how did the propaganda get you this good
>>541285703They are fucking up poo2 for years now, that is incompetence. Actively stopping poe1 development for a year and then releasing a copout league with little to no marketing is malice, to artificially boost poo2.
PoE2 is one of the highest played online games on steam. You don't know what a dead game is lol.>t. TFDfag
>>541286468it's clearly botted.
>>541286534That thing with that argument is that other companies could be botting their games too but some games clearly have higher player counts than others.
>>541286534you're so cute:3
>>541286760it's clear that ggg is way way way more concerned with optics than the average game company. poo2 was made to look good, not to be good, for example. they also care about streaming numbers and player counts than the average game company>>541286785maybe, but i ain't gay you faggot.
I like no towers. I'm a casual shitter and theres not a thing you can do about it.
What do you guys do with all your rare rings that didn't identify with some kind of t3+ flat attack? Vendor them?
>>541287017I am sure not having towers is better than having towers. What came along with not having towers is the part people dislike.
>>541287017Same. I don't understand people who like the zooming playstyle. How is that even fun. Even in PoE1, I just massed around minions and went through the map slowly taking my time. I'm doing the same here but with improved graphics. I just wish maps with elemental ground didn't kill my frame rate though. Fire patches everywhere shave off like 20 fps.
Bonestorm feels so shitty to play. You stand there channeling for a few seconds just for the skill to have zero visual or audio feedback. Compare it to something like Divine Ire in 1 and it's pathetic. GGG, just steal the Rust King's noise effect for when he charges up his multi-proj attack. The skill says the projectiles explode, but I see zero explosions and I have 43% AoE on the tree. It feels like I'm throwing needles at an enemy, not a Bonestorm. That's my one effort post for today. Do with it what you will.
>>541287461>how is optimizing your gameplay fun in a power fantasy genre?Genius
>>541287474>It feels like I'm throwing needles at an enemy, Because that's what it is. Granted I don't have anything to compare it wish but unironically it's my favorite spell. It's also one of the few spells in the game that actually leave decals on the target, as the spikes actually embed themselves on the target's body. After a few volleys, your target is going to look like porcupine.
>>541287461Same here, I don't really care about zooming as long as I can kill stuff in a non-painful amount of time and not die too much I'm cool with that. I like playing the game like an advanced top down shooter, I always play crossbows and walk around shooting everything. Its not optimal but I like to just try to take my preferred skills and gameply as far as i can, don't care to be the best OP skill or whatever. I'm doing better this league than I ever did before, and have lept going with endgame more than I did previously, even more so after they got rid of towers.
>>541287561Then maybe the genre is not for me because even in other ARPGs like diablo 2-3 and Torchlight, I never played like this. I always went with semi-suboptimal builds usually just me experimenting with the skill tree and trying out skills that looked cool to me. I really cannot relate to play who play like this for example. https://youtu.be/xICUwfNa36g?si=GaTByppL7rG7uY9dThe closest I've gotten to this was maybe in D3 with my wizard.
>>541287639Hmm, I never noticed the projectiles sticking into the enemy. That's pretty cool I guess.
>>541287824All that matters is that you're having fun, anon.
>>541287461I hate the zooming playstyle and liked towers, they made the world map interesting, now it's dead boring
>hurr durr I wanna steal fromsoftware>Let's add 'Black Flame' to the game>Wait we're retarded and can't make a new kind of fire damage type called black flame>We'll make it chaos damage>So it's actually purpleYep, that's retarded developers alright. I guess it would've been too on the nose if blackflame was literally black like ER but if they can't make it black/dark, then don't fucking call it Black Flame. It's not black flame. It's Purple Flame.
>>541287823Zooming is just the inevitable optimization of>as long as I can kill stuff in a non-painful amount of time and not die too muchZoomers don't zoom from the start, they start where you start, and just optimize further than you do. If you are fine with staying a shitter, the same doesn't have to be true for everyone else. People zooming is not a detriment to your self-impaired shitterdom
With how adamant they've been that they won't put RF into 2 without a major rework, I can totally see them wholesale lifting how it works from Titan Quest 2 where it's an aura that has its area and damage scale dynamically with mana spent on other fire skills.
>>541287867I guess it depends on your playstyle. I'm playing minion witch so I have all the time in the world to charge up bonestorm. The bones gradually forming up behind you is pretty cool. But if you're doing it solo and you're movinf around because a single bump can cancel it, I guess yeah the pay off isnt as satisfying for such a long casting spell. The sfx definitely could be meatier.
>>541288029If you wanna zoom thats fine mate, I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to zoom. I might think negative things about you but you shouldn't worry about that, you just do what you want pal
>>541287993You might be retardedhttps://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Blackflame
>>541288227>doomer turns out to be a retarded newfagcompletely unexpected turn of events
>>541288186I will never be able to understand how being shit at a game by choice makes it more fun than pushing limits.
>>541288715I think theres two kinds of players - those that say "whats the best most OP thing, I'm gonna use that" and those that say "I like this skill / playstyle, I'm going to see how far I can take it". And all I'm saying is I don't consider the first group to even be fully realised conscious human beings. Don't worry about it though.
I have 20 divineshow and what do I flipI dont understand the concept
>>541288743I am a bit of both, I love playing certain flavors over others, for example i only ever played LS once in poe1, in sentinel league. i never played bows either. But i try to pick things that both feel good and can be pushed. Picking a skill that knowingly can't be pushed far (or rather, not having the mental resiources to do so, let's be honest) is a no-go for me.
>>541288743things that are weak but hit the flavor are still trash to play can't be fun to play.
>>541288743The entire appeal of poe in the first place is that it's an arpg skill lego where you can technically turn your character into any conceivable build you want, instead of designing it around sweats. My biggest gripe in game so far probably is just uniques being mostly trash outside of a few build enabling ones.
>>541289067Why would you deliberately choose to suck and suffer, rather than become as strong as you possibly can in a god simulator?
>>541289152Because it's fun to feel like your build has its own identity instead of being a Fubcel skinwalker.
>occasionally been teaming up with my friend who is new to to poe in poe2 this league>just play a raritybot when we play so I don't just obliterate everything so he can play the game>he finally saved up enough for a headhunter and was excited to try it out together>apparently using gravebind breaks headhunter and neither of us get any headhunter buffsEpic
>>541289152Why would you waste your precious time on earth trying to get a rise out of anonymous posters on a CIA psyop site?
>>541289492Why would you even care what someone else is playing? I am not saying "play what fub is playing". You not saying "I wanna play what i find fun", you are saying "I wanna play what nobody else is playing". Take your meds, anon.
>>541289492>streamer is playing Lighting Arrow so I can't possibly play Lighting Arrow too, even if i would like toyou sound like a contrarian
Why did last thread die?
my tub overfloweth
>>541289492you're a tranny aren't you?
were all playing the new hit game
>>541289152>God simulatorYou are the one calling it that though. If I want to play a lich raising an army of dead, I will build a character centered around minions with themed spectres, and not zapping a hundred mobs on screen per second. Also the game's difficulty has a cap. There is a point where you become strong enough to comfortable cruise through any challenge without having to minmax the fun out of everything. At that point you quit, or make a different character or switch a different build.
>>541290225>There is a point where you become strong enough to comfortable cruise through any challenge without having to minmax the fun out of everything. At that point you quit, or make a different character or switch a different build.That's what i do, but you are stuck at being a shitter.
>>541290284cope
>>541289581>>541289715>>541290102Hmm, weird how something so benign caused so much seethe.
>>541290203what's the new hit game today? please tell me, so i can avoid playing it because fubgun might also be playing it, and i REFUSE to do whatever he is doing.
>>541290284Shitter at what? I already beat the main campaign and am just fucking around at maps until the next update comes along. Why are you treating this like a competitive sport? The game doesn't even have leaderboards or pvp.
>>541290370How's the LA deadeye going, anon? Are you going to transition once you hit level 100?
I hate crafting these clusters
>>541290406>beat the campaigndo you think beating the campaign is an accomplishment? you got through the tutorial.>>541290424not sure what you are talking about, i played mercenary carry in poe1, and i didn't touch poo2 because that game is for trannies.
PoE2 became a crafting sim. Don't let Jonathan or anybody else at GGG tell you otherwise. Remember the old ARPGs you used to play where you had to grind for loot, not collect materials to craft it. It's no wonder why PoE2 is getting so much hate (that is only one reason out of MANY). Not all of us like Stardew Valley or The Forrest where you have to craft all the time. Down with crafting! Down with non-ARPG elements that make the game worst!
Hello friends,my feedback is as follows:- When using "MAX IMAGE QUALITY": "NVIDIA DLAA" the game often turns black and I see the "grinding gears" when dense monster population is encountered. Was already the case with 0.3, so not specific to 0.3.1. Using "MAX IMAGE QUALITY": "Quality" solved this for me.- I love the removal of the towers. I see the point of too much grinding / trading for tables. Please consider raising uses per tablet and upping quality / quantity once again.- I don't know if evasion was really nerfed but since 0.3.1 I tend to get hit more often and when I get hit it really HURTS. I have no GIGA-char, only pinnacle content Tier 1 (T15+ fully juiced maps). I play pure evasion, no Energy Shield since I believe in this class fantasy. 64 % evasion when moving and 61 % to deflect for 40 %.- Maybe it's skill issue and I am too slow, but I sometimes die to really stupid sh***. Did a runestone boss summon event. There the ape from Act 3 was summoned and insta hit me whith his pillar and so I was insta dead.- It's REALLY hard to see and spot rogue exiles. Maybe skill issue again but for me they should be special but I just can't spot them in masses of white mobs.
>>541290529The content of the game is the campaign for me and my goal in the game is building towards my goal of making my build work. I am currently only lv 54 with my witch. Once I reach a point where I am comfortable with my build I just stop playing since the end game is just filler and has no value to me. This had always been how I treat arpgs. I dont understand people who play these like mmos and only hyperfocus on max level builds.
>>541290874do you plan to play poo2 long-term, over and over?
>>541290990No? Once I reach maybe lv70 where I clear a bit more map nodes I'll stop and come back next season or so. i still have a lot of games on my backlog.
>>541290874how long (in hours) did it take for you to achieve this insane goal of beating the campaign, can you post a /played
>>541291081that's what i mean by "long term", to play it over and over with new leagues. D4 got seasons, stop using that word in the wrong context. what makes you just run the (bad) campaign over and over?
>>541289497>buying retardbaiter instead of actual upgrades for your buildLMAO
WHERE WAS THE FUCKING ANNOUNCEMENT
I think the new poe1 league will be disastrous.
What supporter pack is worth buying? I need to spend $60 to get all the stash tabs...
>>541291097Beat the game last december on my sorc and beat it again in 2 days with my witch. I have around 152 hours but most of that is just mindlessly going around replaying levels. I'm just looking forward to new campaign story, maps and bosses since that is the draw for me.
>>541291608>giving money to jonatroon after all that happened in the past yearyou can't be helped, anon
>>541291713Fill me in, what happened? I started playing during the f2p weekend and don't have any stash tabs yet.
>>541291608The aztec armor looks the coolest but it's 130 dollars...
>>541291712you did almost what i asked you. go to your level 50 something character and do /played, and post result
>>541291784poo2 happened0.3.1 happened
>>541291889And? The game's likely to be updated for years to come.
>>541291960so you wanna send the message that pushing out shit updates, onto your plate, is ok and you wanna reward that?this is exactly how you get shit updates for years to come.
>>541291801hereStill working my way up to the presence buffs on the skill tree since it's also near a bunch of minion buffs.
>>541291997Anon... I started in 0.3. Sorry you don't enjoy poe2. Me buying supporter packs isn't going to change the future when I need stash tabs either way if I'm ever going to play again or try poe1.
>>541292102>beats campaign in 31 hours and enjoys ithow is life with profound mental retardation?
>>541292193I am the kind of player who enjoyed Diablo 2 for the campaign so I took my time. Also a lot of backtracking because I tweaked my build several times and ran out of skill and support gems.
>>541292317have you considered any form of treatment or therapy?
>>541292381For what? For enjoying a game at my pace?
just realized you can click off headhunter buffs
>>541292193>didn't beat the campaign>thinks he's hot shit
>>541292453Speaking of which, is there a way to see your aura's range?
>>541292485I beat the campaign multiple times in 0.1, and then fucked the hell out of this dogshit game. I think my campaign time was around 6-7 hours, at its fastest.
>As we announced earlier this year, we’re aiming for a four-month release cycle for both games, which puts the 3.27 launch around the end of October. We’ll reveal both the livestream and release dates in a few weeks.
>>541292547If you don't play the game, you have no business posting in the general.And don't larp about playing POE1, you don't.
>>541292547>>541292193Ah I just realized where the confusion comes from. Akshully, I made this witch several months ago. I never really played her much since at the time I found Sorc more fun so just played her on and off. I guess the afks and such from months ago added up.10 hours or less for a normal campaign provided you know what you're doing and have items ready to use on your stash seems fine. The only reason it takes that long is that Act 3 in particular has obnoxious amounts of padding, like the waterways. The interlude stuff if we add that also has a ton of padding, like the galai gates in region 2. That shit just goes on forever for no reason.
>>541292657>you don't play poe1 because I SAY SOtry again, faggot.>>541292760>playing poo2 standardholy shit, it keeps getting better and better.
>>541292760>i hecking LOVE the campaign>actually, i don't love the campaignwhich one is it, anon?
>>541292884>holy shit, it keeps getting better and better.I genuinely don't know what you're on about. I tried abyssal league but I just wanted to commit to my old save since I never played witch before but also wanted to use my old stuff from my sorc.
>>541292884Mercenaries has been going on for a century, you haven't logged into those characters in weeks if not months.You stink of a carry buyer too.
>>541293004>carry buyerkeep coping, anon. you smell of curry buyer.
>>541292984I loved the boss fights and fighting new enemies. The maps, not so much.This game is probably the most visually impressive arpg I've played which is what I like about it.https://youtu.be/alhmnpcVCu4?si=bwD-jyWVQJEOCJLNAlso, the voice acting in this game is genuinely amazing.
>you smell of curry buyerrich coming off confirmed RMTer, mr patrickmasturbateman
>>541293078>bringing up another bad product unpromptedpoo2 looks good, but it doesn't play good. the sole purpose of the game is to placate tencent and sell you packs.leaker was right.
How much of a casual shitter are you? I'm such a casual shitter I have never done the foruth ascendancy on any character. SSF btw so I'm not a faggot paying someone else to do it for me. If you do that you are more of a casual than I am.
>>541293047I have nothing to cope with, your posts are shit and contribute nothing.You're bitching about a game you don't even play.
>>541293142>rmt in an arpgwho would do such a retarded thing? only chinks and streamers do that shit.
Should I bother buying fragment, ultimatum, blight, divination, or delve stash tabs? Do these exist in poe2? When I right click a normal stash tab there are affinity options for fragment, expedition, and breach.
>>541293205since when exactly is being a casual a badge of honor? why would anyone be proud of being shit?
>>541293205The most casual of casuals. I only managed 3rd ascendancy, by sheer luck. Because fuck the honor system in sekhema trials.
>>541293170>play goodI plays just like every other arpg I've played but depending on your build you may have to dodge roll a bit. But then again, D3 on consoles also had rolling back in 2013.
>>541293237i would love for poo2 to be good, but it simply isn't. my fight is for poo2 to maybe become good in the future. mindlessly praising jonathan for shitting the tub isn't gonna help make it any better.
>>541293352retard
casualGOD hereI go outside and talk to girls and watch football so no time to grind campaignPretty fun game though
>>541293331Casual shitter pride
>>541293352>he made it out of act 1>he ascended at allyou are not a proper casual, heathen
I've never even seen a citadel
>>541293331Because even in souls games, everyone is just happy that they beat the game. You are only a scrub if you give up and whine about it non stop.
