POOP
POE2 GOODPOOWUN SHIT
>he is NOT a jingakh
>he is a jingakh
and he gets to be a jingakh!?
>>551523686Poo2 is literally a Diablo 3 reskin with some Diablo 4 backported mid-development.
>>551523681>he was NEVER the jingakh
poop 1 eos
>>551523686The more you look at it the more you realize that Poo2 IS actually D3Small little details everywhere, the little health globes like the ones BM has to spawn and gather for example.
>she
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH "Azmadi, Faridun Prince" boss? Basically, the time weeaboo desert samurai or whatever. I encountered him in a waystone as the boss and he fucked me up. I have about 14k armor and 2.5k life. He did some weird weeb slash where he sheathed his sword and dashed at me. It looked like I got hit by a million little explosions at once. He also zips around so much that trying to melee him down is aids. I think when I fought him in the campaign, I was over leveled for the area because I did every vaal temple. Just don't remember him being this hard. Is he bugged. Its more likely that I am a shitter I guess.
>>551524332>I have about 14k armor and 2.5k life.You're supposed to have 7k ES
>>551524332he is pure phys
>>551524087I think their internal mindset was "we will make Diablo 3, but good, a TRV3 successor to the best game ever Diablo 2", yet in reality just like closeted trad politicians they secretly loved Diablo 3 and its actual design concepts seeped through everything anyway. The similarities if you replay D3 campaign are too obvious to be a concidence.>>551524332You can't overlevel in interludes because they scale with your level (just like Diablo 3).
>>551524332>playing life in the ES metaoh no
why are we back?
>>551523445Guy's IT'S herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-UG3642raQ
>>551525128What went wrong?
>>551524830I bet most people are tired of running through the campaign multiple times already. And releasing only one fucking class that had only fake interest in it instead of classes people want to see, killed it. If they don't add the class you want to play, what's in it for you? So unless they add swords or axes next time, it's going to be just as bleak.
>>551525128Why does this look better and more fun than all poe2 super highres trillion 3d artist hours videos combined?
>>551525495>So unless they add swords or axes next timeThey could ass Jesus Christ with uzis, it doesn't matter, it will never top EA because thousands of people who will never ever ever ever play POE2 again (or ever would) had been roped into trying it by the sheer hype.It will only trend down, with slight upward pulls for major and hype-inducing releases.
>>551525495>watch poe 2 trailer>has gameplay showing every class>read poe 2 store page>says that the game has 12 classes and 36 ascendancy classes >6 acts>flails, swords, traps, etc >pay to test their game>just kidding literally none of that is in the game fuck you how did they get away with it?
>>551524735Then why is he deleting me if I use armor which is supposed to work on phys? Does this game have that stat from PoE1? Physical Overwhelm or whatever? It felt like he was cutting me like paper. Feels like someone at GGG has a weeb power fantasy. This boss does all these anime slashes that of course deal a million damage.
>>551525906But some of them are in the game though
>>551525921Armour works well against small hits and doesn't work well against big hits (big relative to your armour). Bosses intentionally have high-damage attacks that are difficult to mitigate with middling gear.
>>551525921>armor which is supposed to work on phys
I just started 3.27 out of boredom and had to read a dissertation on how to transition my arma brander to a penance brand of dissipation. It really made me want to quit this league already.
>>551526356you might be retarded.
>>551526356You might be of average intelligence.
>>551526356I can't imagine that's very complicated unless you're brand new to PoE.
>why doesn't GGG implement time gatesThey've tried before. They did it in 3.27 by delaying the 2nd set of Poopborn uniques and it didn't even blip the numbers. When people are done they're done.
>>551525921Yes and it works, let's say you were a pure evasion char with 0 armor then you would have been dead every time he touches you because evasion does not work against "red" hits
This issue means I ignore 99% of gear in an ARPG. Even perfect rolls with everything except +levels I ignore, it’s so painfully annoying to not get excited about loot because it doesn’t have +levels.Also it makes the game progression of gear so much more jagged. You are basically waiting for +levels only, if you don’t get it you don’t switch out. Without it I would have changed my weapons so much more and generally been a lot more interactive with my build.As feedback please look into having MAX +1 level on any weapon so other modifiers ca compete, or just straight up remove it which is unlikely. Also feel free to suggest other ways of fixing it
>>551524830It was getting too embarrassing for Tencent so they're going to pump the bots to match the previous league lows. Grim.
How will Keepers be implemented into Core?
>>551527327Those Reddit threads are correct. Some good statted shit will give you 40% more damage but +5 levels gives you 1.17*1.17*1.17*1.17*1.17 more damage. It's fucking retarded.
>>551524332Rollslop final boss
>>551527475monsters replaced with newer onestree removedthe ability to make a unique foulborn is moved to a currency orbbreachstone opens the hive encounterno more specific type breach splintersgrafthands obviously removed
>>551527475Breach tree and foulborns will probably disappear but the mechanic will remain. Who knows they fucked it up royally due to time constraints.
GIVE ME FUEL GIVE ME FIREGIVE ME PLAYERS IN POE2
Diamora has got to be the most miserable Act 4 boss if you don't instantly melt her
>>551527803Not really, she is really easy, one of the easiest bosses of act 4 unless you are retarded enough to fight her with negative cold res
>>551527803I found the nigger that took the weapon more insufferable for his fucking long ass story animation. Ffs let me just kill you.
>>551527751That doesn't rhyme
>>551527803I find her absurdly easy>just have to not stand in front of her, you have a year to dodge all her attacks>then run in circles outrunning the painfully slow lighthouse phaseThe only way I could imagine her being hard is if you had a total ztank build with 0 cold res and 0 damage and you somehow got owned by the spitting white mobs. I genuinely already complained to people that the fight should be a lot harder so I can't even conceptualize what the hard part is.
>>551524830>anon experiencing the weekend for the first time in his life Welcome to earth, stats-alien.
>watching the tripfag beg in global for a fucking 8d helmetoh my god.
Bosses having mechanics is a dark pattern. Debate me. You shan't.
>>551528438You are raped
Here's your 0.5 patch.
guys... it is over
But seriously how did GGG get away with releasing NO CONTENT for 3.27 *and* 0.4??????? They literally haven't done anything the past 6 months....
>>551524332retard
>>551527051Lol!
>>551528841Bro your Druid?
>>551528959that was supposed to be release together with the amazon they haven't even released TOTA in the patch there they release act 4
>>55152433214k armour is like 30% resistances equivalent, probably even less than that.
>>551529053even better, not the patch after act 4 either.i wonder how many islands they left out of act 4 just to rush it...
>>551528357you gotta respect the hustle
Do you think Asala would have sex with the Mercenary?I think she might.
>>551528841GGG is finally regressing to the mean. When Chris Wilson left and all the senior GGG devs like Hrishi quit the company is left with only Jonathan to do all of the league programming and Neon to do all of the game design.
>>551529242all the other 250 devs? just freeloading and doing nothing all day.
>>551528438Mechanics are fine, it's GGG flavour of "do this stupid retarded fart nonsense or the boss kills you instantly" that's a dark pattern.
>>551529209>take off your pants jingakh>whatever you say boss-lady
>>551527803retard
POE2 = BAD
>>551529503hot
>>551529397starting to feel like it, where the fuck is the content? these niggers are gonna be in early access for a decade at this rate
contemplating replaying witcher 3
Troonathan lost bigly
Winnders>last epoch>torchlight>diablolosers>PooE1+2
>>551529991im winning bigly in poop1 while I watch the devs abandon it
>>551529991more likewinners>losers>every arpgfucking dead ass genre, all shit games
>Zolino and Zolina are stuck in the dialoguePlease Johnatan i just want to get out of the campaign
>>551529397Dev team is like 2/3rds artists.
>>551529802i look like this
>>551530109and 1 autist, picrel
I know this sounds crazy but I'm actually thinking about playing D4 and buying the new expansion, it legitimately seems superior especially if you consider that PoE 2 has limited build diversity and it has zero endgame and the new league mechanic is a joke.
>>551528013She's easy but she spends probably half the time flying around or doing her singing invuln phase
>>551530506retard
>>551529208No i don't. I'm so fucking sick of it but even if I mute him I have to sit through 20+ messages of other faggots (like yourself, coincidentally) talking to him.
>>551527656Foulborn will probably be a corruption outcome, i think thats how it works in poe2
>>551530506At the very least D4 has better game play than Poop 2.
>>551530917further modifying corrupted items might be one of the most retarded thing they add in poe2
I know it’s a beta.but the more time I spend trying poe1, the more I understand the doomers. It’s such a far cry from the good formula they had. I didn’t care about lack of movement skills until I actually used one.Holding spacebsr to sprint everywhere into a stun feels bad. Needing infusions to do any damage feels bad. Melee not existing probably feels bad, but I don’t know because I haven’t played one yet.I hope they fix things.
>>551530539You are playing an mmo, you have to do the mechanic before damaging the boss please understand.
>>551531023If having bad opinions was an Olympic sport you would be covered in medals from head to toe.
>>551531072if thats what you want then play poe1 dummy
the good guys (d4) won in the end
>>551531367I have been. That’s my point. PoE2 is for a consumer that literally does not exist. Nobody is turning on this game to do a dodge roll or to play slow.
>>551531287you're not suppose to triple corrupt your brain retard
>>551531503You say that yet the worst league in poe2 has more players than the best in poe1
This thread is actually useless and full of schizophrenic neets, Unironically
>>551531628>implying only raw numbers count and up/down trend compared to previous leagues doesn't matter
>wrote to the support with some issue>went to sleep>wake up>they actually almost instantly replied to my mailtheir support is unironically top tier, i was expecting at least a few days of delay due to holidays.
How am I to actually level as bear druid?Ive been dying in the fucking normal lab over and over at lvl 24.
>>551531628What does this even mean?
>level as a bear druidDon't ever play bear until you get meteors. That's how you play it. Excellent dev work by Grind Nigger Games yet again!
JONATHAN!!!!!!!
>>551531675(This is a buff)
>>551531610My brain's fine, you just have awful shit taste and hate fun.
>>551531628but poo2 is currently below a bunch of poe1 leagues at the same point in the league
>>551531675Same as it always was only for the last year we have had paid jeet Poopy 2 shills to play with as well.
I'm too scared to sprint in maps because I might trip on some mob and then the mobs will gang up and hit me while I'm down.
>>551532176My favorite is when I'm sprinting as a massive bear and a stray rock from one of those lobbers sends me 10 meters across the screen
Can we all agree that sprint is fucking dogshit and that characters shouldn't have to run in a 50 foot diameter circle to turn around while sprinting or stop and fall down if they get within 20 feet of a wall? Why design it to be shitty garbage???????????
I was looking through all the fake uniques i've made and there has been a bunch of power creep over the years.This was meant to be super high dps. The gimmick was meant to incentivises low max life builds. So you'd get an ultra high dps weapon but you'd have to compensate with non-life based defence. Anyway, an equivilent sword is like 10d now which is pretty hceap
someone loves AI huh?
>>551531628This is barely true fwiw. Dawn of the Hunt had 234k players and Settlers had 230k. So its a difference of 4k players
I preferred when Sprint came in a bottle.
why can't we rebind sprint
>>551533181holy fuck... pits...
>>551533234Patch 0.8 hotfix 83
I can't believe these retards put sprint nodes on the tree
>https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/NeverSink-3349/challengesthis faggot literally ended the game at quest exarch and he was complaining about the tree giving too good items?
>>551533715filtered
why the fuck are the load screens in poopy2 so badlike 80% of the time they are instant but sometimes im just sitting there for 5-10 secsin the same zone btw
>>551533830>this guy ended the game in post-game and was complaining about how shit the league isyes
>>551533834Show me your passive tree
what if instead of sprint you had certain movement skills that scaled with attack or cast speed
>>551534031Maybe something that changes you into a wolf and pounces you forwards, or maybe something where you twirl an electric staff real fast
>>551533830>Not a single uberlmao
Lightning spear is starting to feel bad without frenzy charges
>>551533925Jonathan's code.
>>551534031You could have dash that made you jump forward very fast or you could blink in a location doing a cold explosion or even leave a trail of fire behind you. Some wild ideas I came up with myself.
>>551534031GGG couldn't balance that with the experience they want. They want you to be slow not leap slamming across the entire planet at 15 atk/s
rerolled a sorcerer after getting Shaman Wolf to 99% best in slot. Trying to make fire damage work in maps has been really challenging, anyone have any good builds or characters for reference? I'd really like to have fireball involved in the clear, not sure what the best single target would be tho
Hardest map I've ever foughtBut I got 1 fracture orb so it's all worth it
>>551534891Those don't do anything
>>551534847You could check what Conner is doing (blackflame archmage), he is using fireball for clear.I feel like most fire-based characters that look good do some ember fusillade-based faggotry though. I might try to make a flameblast char myself next, the spell feels really good and it's lamentable that it has such a long cooldown so you have to use filler spells or press time snap all the time.
>>551535121For a squishy melee wolf build, they made my palms really sweaty.
>>551535121Not everyone is playing a 20k ES 95% damage mitigation 100% regen per second leech 100% damage ignore death on getting hit build
I miss having abyss on every map in the campaign
>>551534891>only 29-32% extra elementalInteresting they basically halved that modifier from 1.
after a few hundred maps I have finally unlocked a second hideout that isn't felled hideout
Does influencing scarab of hordes increase the average number of altars spawned or not? I'm finding conflicting information, every source says that altars are only based on the map's innate pack count, but every altar-focused strategy I see uses this scarab
>level 90>Abyss maxed>Done basic Xesth, King in the Mist and Simulacrum>Found my first fortresses>Still haven't found a second corruption Nexus
>>551536194retard
>>551535121for poe2 players this is super hard and hes valid
Bros... Alva is a faggot? How could this be?
>>551536371>>Found my first fortresses>>Still haven't found a second corruption Nexusthe fuck howMy map is surrounded in nexus and yet I can't find even a single citadel
Is the overly exaggerated tripping while sprinting a humiliation ritual?
>>551536657Bad seed I guess. I've been moving in one direction, killing special bosses and clearing unique nodes along the way, and have found 0 corruption after the first.
>>551536645Everyone wants to get their hands on Atziri, it's not gay.
>>551536645>>551536791Everyone is a faggot for Atziri. There is a lineage gem, one of the poison ones I think that says an architect tried to kill atziri via assassination but couldn't use his hatred because he was simping out for her. The lesson is to NEVER EVER SIMP. You will fuck over your civilization by simping.
>>551536979Why was Doryani the only one not simping for her? Kinda sus.
>>551537092He's too smart to be horny
Why is leech limited to only physical damage?
>>551536371>>551536645>>551537092retard
>>551537271Fix your dumb game.
>>551536645Reminder it's not gay if the subject is hot enough.
>>551537092he's autistic
>>551537271Why you (You)ing me?
Is armour/es on druid just a complete meme or what. Should I sell all my gear and stack ES like everybody else
>>551537593Armour/ES is only good on the djin sorc
Would ritualist be too strong without the 3rd ring downside?
I-... I gave in...I'm sorry
>>551537717Theoretically.
How do I detonate my storm lance spears
Imagine poo2, but without all the poop.
>>551537826nothin wrong with a bit of last epoch

>>551529921I always lose interest once I hit Novigrad.
>>551529921>>551539150Witcher 2 mogs. Witcher 1 is also much cooler.
Why did the Karui dude steal the weapon
is slayer still default flicker build
>>551531287>>551531995Yeah, that guy is such an idiot. Why doesn't he understand how great it is to take the "you can't modify this item"-mechanic and modify it further? I bet that guy is also against you being able to buy revives in HC.
>>551539292Retard
>>551534357Do you often do ubers when you quit the league before getting a single void stone, retard-san?
>>551539460Yes.
>>551539292There's nothing inherently fun about not being able to modify an item further than 1 vaal orb.I feel genuinely sorry for you if you're so fucking autistic that being able to corrupt twice bothers you.
poe2 needs harbingers
>>551539460Yeah actually. I hate doing Maven so I'd have probably killed at least Uber Cortex or Uber Uber Elder.
poe2 needs heist
poe2 needs blight
poe2 needs scion
poe2 needs anime
>>551540085BASED
>>551540393The HARDEST
>>551523445can someone please give me a qrd on the pajeet meme, genuinely curious
>>551540393We NEED PoE VN. Made by Type-Moon of course.
>>551540842Like the redeem one? You can find youtube videos about it but essentially, some other Indian guy has been trolling scammers that prey on senior citizens via cards or something. Then he baits them to give some code for their cash and draws it out triggering them to say>"DO NOT REDEEM, SIR DO NOT REDEEM"I haven't actually watched it. I don't have enough interest to hear some Sridish have a meltdown.

STOPTHE DIV/EX RATE IS FINE
>>551541824>craftingThat what we call slooming 500 exalts now?
>>551541824>farming exIs he stupid?
>>551541615Why can't armour protect you from fire and the like anyway?
>>551542139it can, lil chudfor the low low price of half of all of your passive points!
>>551542139Uhhhh, it just can't? You also get less movement speed wearing it. This is a buff!!
how the fuck does this game still crash/reload when every other game i play doesn't do this, including poe1?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP6CPrZj09MITS UP ITS UP ITS UP GET YOUR F R E E TEMPLES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
>>551542139you don't understand it's not thematically right for armor to protect you from anything else except physical damage and you must move so slow
>>551542362FREE DOGSHIT? I'LL TAKE 20!
>>551542418based and true. matter of fact, armour should buff elemental damage against yourself:when you wear a fat body armour made of steel plate, and some monster does an elemental attack on you, you're gonna hate the armour:- Fire: armour gets hot, you'll cook- Lightning: armour is a conductor, you get electrocuted- Cold: freeze from touching that plate armour
>>551542362>bro just do the thing that makes people bitch 500 posts an hour [the campaign]
Why'd they make the gem system so much worse in PoE2?
>>551542802I think you should take more damage the more armour you have.
>>551542941based. anything except phys!
>>551542994anything except SMALL phys, you mean :)
>>551542890mostly so it's not poe1 and can be sold to a "new audience". the audience? it checked the game once, and left:
>>551542994Only slashing damage phys hits, blunt damage is reduced slightly and piercing goes through. You have to remember which type of attack every monster uses obviously and repair your armour when it mitigates too much.
>>551543105TRUE! Big phys should actually deal more damage and stun you because if you wear a big armour piece and something huge hits you with say a club, there's gonna be a dent and that stuns you and is uncomfortable
>>551542362Non-streamers will get banned for bug exploitation
>get to red maps>all builds start to fall of in defense and damage>need hundreds of exalts or divines for gear
>>551542139Really we need more damage types. It should go:>Armour: Piercing>Armour: Smashing>Armour: SlashingSo even if you have 50k smashing armour you can still get trucked if your piercing armour or slashing armour is low>>551542941Fire should heat up the armour and lightning should electrocute you through (metal) armour but the armour keeps you warm from the cold so it applies there
>trending downards graph
>>551542362allahhhhhhhu akbar>>551542585temple is very profitable if you're not brown
Only the gear slot the attacks visibly connects with should count for armour reduction. If you get hit in the hand, it's only the gloves and the same for head and torso. This incentivizes skilled gameplay, weight of your decisions and meaningful combat. Critical strikes must completely bypass all your armour of course.
>>551544280We're just recreating Exanima at that point.

Anyone with half a brain knew this shit would get old after doing it more than once. I'm willing to be GGG pulls some shit like making act 5 longer than acts 1-4 combined with maps bigger than anything we've seen yet just to spite the player base since that seems to be their only goal at this point.
>>551546717>people are struggling to even get past act fucking 2Why are you projecting your own struggles on others?

>>551525921>Does this game have that stat from PoE1? Physical Overwhelm or whatever? It felt like he was cutting me like paper.the poe2 armor formula is twice as bad as the poe1 one, so anything outside of white mob autoattacks pretty much immediately crushes your armor to nothing. it's armor/armor-10x damage to determine damage reduction. If the boss hits you for 5k, with 14k armor you're only reducing it by 21%, which is still enough to completely one shot you with only 2500 life. Meanwhile, if instead of 14k armor you just invested in 7k ES you'd have a max hit of 9500 and be able to survive just fine without even needing to flask. Then there's all the other bullshit ES gets, like Lich turning bypasses ES into universal damage reduction, so they're actually getting more DR% against big phys hits than even 30k armor
