Poop of Excrement 2.Debate me.You won't.
comparison is the thief of joy
niGGGer OP
I like both games :)
Have enough for a rakiata's now but debating if I should just upgrade my gear instead. Most of my stuff is only 5-10 div besides the 2 uniques I'm using which are cheaper.
worst poo1 skill is conversion trapwhat is the worst poo2 skill?
>>553542684everything.
>>553542684concucktion skills
no tub op? i shan't partake
dogshit op kill yourselfalsopoo2? tubbed to shit
poe2 feels like a fever dream honestly.
man I want to play sunder but it's sooooooooooo dogshit on ssf. every time I try playing it I always end up deleting the character 2-3 levels after I start using it because it feels so fucking bad.I tried everything, more damage less ias, more ias less damage, more aftershocks etc nothing seems to make it feel good to use and do respectable damage. add on top of this if I don't have a good mace it's just worse than fucking mace striking. why is it that some skills are just so shit and jank to use. I really hate how they are making some skills completely dogshit in the campaign.I remember in poe1 I just got the skill I wanted to use and it just worked. sure I could modify it to do extra or different things but it worked by default. in poe2 some skills just can't be played unless you meet some check boxes. the game just feels so shit when I can't play what I want.I'll wait until they change all this shit, surely they'll modify and improve skills until release, right?
>>553545442it does good dmg but will never be useable due to the animation >hurrr jump way into the air every attackalso gotdaym this demone is thick
how do i get more upgrade rooms? :(
>>553546401idk im not even allowed to have any rooms other than commanders
What's the best method to farm temple energy to just build it out as fast as possible?
>>553547956holtem
>>553545442Remove your mace, put on a Talisman, turn into a bear and slam shit.Same gameplay, except actually good. Bear is just better Warrior. In fact Warrior is probably the best start location to play bear even because it scales armor so absurdly hard and Titan is unironically goated for it.
>>553545442Shield Wall unironically saved Warrior this league. Without it nobody would be playing the class/maces (bear notwithstanding. you ain't a Warrior, you a furry nigga)
>>553546806only if you run the architect. you don't run him, i have run this temple for like 40 times already
>>553553604well it was just as strong in 0.3. warrior didn't change from 0.3 to 0.4, kitava got buffed but who the fuck plays kitava and for what purpose outside campaign. everyone respecs to either titan or wb depending on what they want to play.
>>553554870I mean in comparison to the comically op shit other builds can do like cockmet it's a fucking dead class(((melee))) in general is such a joke. you play it for rp reasons or something. anyone wanting to make currencies in any serious way doesn't play maces
>>553545442there's been a lot of poe1 skills over the years that were total complete useless garbage when starting fresh
why are so many people using one with nothing with weapons and gloves? Like...most of them lol
remember what they took away from youhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1YbOpfElPs&t=12213s
Melee is for campaign only gamers.

how much rarity should i go for on temple farmer
>>553556573>quin
>>553553604boneshatter/earthshatter is unironically stronger, faster, and cheaper than shield wall.shield wall is just the streamer pushed "thing" so people will say everything else not SW is bad even if its the other way around.
>>553558343>boneshitter/earthshitter
>>553558343I know this is a shitpost because there is legitimately no reason to use earthshatter over basically everything else. mace strike, cancel animation rolling slam and even earthquake are better alternatives to earthshatter.the only real use of earthshatter I've seen so far is prestacking spikes on bosses in combination with forge hammer and totem.
>>553559318earthshatter is by far mace's strongest single target, obviously you arent using it to clear
>>553558343>boneshatter after they nerfed mob densitylolyou missed it, used to be so fun exploding screens of stacked mobs with one boneshatter shockwave cascades...now it's all poop....
>he is a jingakh
poe2 is dei slop
>>553559974
I was going to post>they should make sunder channeled so you can do small taps for small damage and giga channel it for giga damagebut then I remembered supercharged slam exists but that has zaoe and a long minimum channel time before it does anything so it double sucks. Maybe it's good single target if you're already down the aftershocks rabbit hole idk. But then I was like >what if we scale the shit out of sunder aoebut it doesn't scale laterally so it blows.
2H Maces should have a +50%-100%AOE variant, like the bows extra proj
let me tell you how retarded and shit ggg are.they designed sunder to be a skill that you only use after you do a bunch of shit. basically it requires a lot of setting up and then bam, lots of damage. that's why it had a total attack time of 1.4.now they removed the total attack time and it scales with attack speed but they left everything else the same. lazy incompetent pieces of shit. this is d4 tier balancing. now my question is, why? why does sunder need to do a specific thing and nothing else? why do skills exist like that in poe2? it's not the only one either. they regressed in terms of game play and depth.how do you do that? how do you regress when you have a game that you still actively develop and work on that does it the best way possible.ggg actively makes skills shit to use because they want you to play the game their way. poe2 game play is like a theme park.
>>553560915Because Maces were clearly the first Melee archetype they created for PoE2 and it sucks, while every subsequent melee archetype has been better. Simply put Maces is just 0.1 development that hasn't been updated for the actual game that was created after it. Bear Warrior is just Mace Warrior except good, so obviously GGG realizes Maces kind of suck, It's just a matter of them prioritizing making the rest of the game before they go back and rework Maces.
How many jewish merchant tabs should i buy? Is 2 enough? Can you set them private and use them as normal tabs?
>>553561312Zero, merchant tabs are obsolete with Ange's asynch trading being a thing.

Very organic growth at the 30 day mark.
>what are weekends
I'm enjoying Second Wind so much. Every POE1 and POE2 league should have big public private leagues 1-2 months in. It feels so good to not have to wait months for the next fresh one.
>>553561460Who the fuck is Ange
cringe
>>553561179i don't understand how bear warrior is good. it seems like it has slow and shitty clear which is the same problem mace has. what am I missing?
From a thematic point of view, I'm the EXACT target audience for both builds. When given a class choice in any tabletop or RPG, I have always played Druids. When given the choice between humans or fluffballs/scalies, I pick the more questionable option. You can imagine my hype when GGG finally announced 0.4.Both builds feels completely different to each other. That good and expected. It's Druid, after all - Druids are known for diverse gameplay and flexibility.Yet after playing both to level 95, I'm surprised how unexpected that difference appears:- Plant Oracle is a 2-button build whose skills, however, have almost zero impactful feeling. You cast it and it damages (+slows/pins) everything around you, but there is a lack of visuals and/or acoustic feedback that make you *feel* like pressing buttons does something. And that's despite there only being two skills (Entangle + Vines, since rain and debuffs are automated) and despite, objectively, the build doing enough damage. For some reason, this is exhausting since you do almost nothing and it feels like your skills do almost nothing, yet this gameplay experience doesn't represent the actual mathematical efficiency.- Wolf Shaman is the exact opposite. You have 6 active skills you frequently use (2 damage options + apply mark via pounce + 2 buffs + warcry), all have great visual and acoustic feedback and it's ironically a lot less exhausting to play. I mean: That frozen shattering alone is chef's kiss. Yet, purely mathematically speaking, my Wolf is less efficient than the Plant Oracle, but the gameplay experience totally contradicts that.It's the first time in years of playing PoE1/2 that I can genuinely *get* what GGG is saying when they try to explain how important it is (for PoE2) to not reduce everything to 1-2 button builds.
>>553562360>i don't understand how bear warrior is goodTitan=Hulking Form is an incredible ascendancy passive that works particularly well with AoE builds, and boosts all other aspects of your character significantly (armour, damage, maximum rage, movement speed/reduction of movement penalties, cdr if you need it etc).Warbringer=free all damage breaks armour which means you can do herald of ice+armour break with almost no investmentSmith=very easy gearing+fire spell on hit (mostly memes but has some potential)
>>553562694i know why titan is good (i have a titan wolf), i'm saying i don't know why bear is good it looks terrible.
>>553562836https://youtu.be/683JA6vb6c4Looks great to me.
something awaits you in the tub...
>>553562836Because Walking Calamity is extremely busted and the Warrior part of the tree has absurd amounts of Fire damage scaling. Also you can do memes with the Unique talisman.In addition, Bear adds a whole bunch of armor scaling. I hit level 65 on my bear character today, spent 4 div on gear, and went into t15 maps (at level 65) and walked through them because 30k armour with 150% armor to ele reduction paired with Defiance of Destiny makes you extremely tanky while maps just melt automatically from Walking Calamity.
>>553562986looks like shit, just another stampede with extra steps
>>553563184Headhunter too expensive for you eh?
>>553560626it would be 20% at most
>>553563348bow extra proj doubles the damage, +100% AOE would be fair
>>553563702filtered
trials should be 10(ten) times as hard. ascendancy should be an achievement, not a cake walk
>>553563648ggg disagrees

>>553564918You obviously have no headhunter so my assumption has been proven completely correct, being able to buy it 2 months into the league isn't an achievement.>you're just a retard who makes baseless assumptions.And you're a faggot who says a great looking build looks shit, without posting anything for comparison, so I'm inclined to assume you're a jaded, poor shitter, and so far it looks like I'm only wrong about how poor you are.I have no reason to believe your character is better than the bear I posted.
>>553565156why is he doing the elon musk salute
>>553565196'vke
>>553565196nigger, did you really just got your feelings hurt cuz I said that builds looks like shit? I'm correct, that build looks and plays like shit, like I said, stampede with extra steps. it's the truth, deal with it and stop crying.
>>553565539That build was doing over a million DPS and that's shit to you? I guess you have really high standards.
>>553565539Show a build that "looks and plays" good. I will not post anything acerbic or sarcastic about it.You're a jaded miserable shitter in my eyes until you do, and your opinion means nothing. If you want it to mean something, post a build that's good to you.
>>553565681I played a rend/oil barrage shaman, idc and I don't obsess over useless shit like how many gorillions of dps I'm doing. I cleared everything in the game and had fun while doing it so who fucking cares if I did 1.5 mil dps or 1.7. min maxing trannies are the worst.
>>553566017So what's your measure of a good build then?
>>553566101>talk to me I'm lonely!no, I said what I said and gave my opinion.
>>553566314You just seethed a bunch, but alright.
>>553566017You didn't kill uber arbiter.

How to get more damage out? Im clearing t15 pretty well but still die occasionally and comet really doesn't go off very often. I don't have +30 from my chest for elemental infusions anymore either.
>>553554726So I killed the architect last night and then it told me to use the console to access the final room which I couldn't do. Do I have to do architect and final boss in 1 run or something? The guy called me a retard for not doing it.
>>553561590FYI you can track ACTUAL player numbers by tracking market currency flow. The numbers have been botted for a while now. You can't trust steamdb numbers.Reminder that there was a Battlefield free weekend and 0 (zero) additional players joined all weekend according to steamdb because they didn't change the bot setpoint number. Every game company bots their games to show fake interest. Some are just better at not getting caught.

A guy saves all his money to wash himself with 5000 bars of soap looking for a 0.01% chance that he gets clean. You marry a woman with perfect genetics and have people from all across the earth pay you to make a child for them to use as a slave. At at your job you only earn one loaf of bread per week but it averages out to a normal salary over the course of a year because there's a very small chance you win the opportunity to live in a villa for a month. You have a perfectly good watermelon that tastes great and you've been eating for a while. Instead of finishing that melon you go to every market within 100km and buy all the melons so you can throw them off a tall building to find one that tastes a bit sweeter.You can grow from a child to age 20 very quickly by watching a guy run around a zoo killing the animals.Forget your kid's birthday party. He remains age 5 for the next decade.

>>553546401upgrade the alch and commander and smithy rooms last, they can drop an upgrade medallion at lvl 2 but not 3how many locks are you getting? if you really believe that you can sustain 3 per run, its worth upgrading the hanging golem and locking it. golem 3 has a pretty good chance for upgrade medallion, maybe 20%.
So I have to kill Atziri once to unlock medallions? Or has killing the architect unlocked them for me?
New player here. Am I to understand correctly that unique items have a base item type that dictates their stats, meaning that they do not scale at all? If this is correct, what is the point of a lot of the unique weapons that have base weapon types with damage ranges severely below the endgame standard?And if you are just supposed to use them when they are relevant, why do a lot of them have unique traits that could be considered build defining?
>like living bomb as a concept>it was stuck on wands so it was shit>now it's remade so you can't play it as a main skillfucking ggg why can't they just make skills that are fun to play>>553572987yeah it's one of the main downfalls of the uniquesthey used to have a pseudo-upgrade system for some uniques in poe1 but they scrapped that and now there's foulborn uniques in 1 that made some of them good againwhat both games really need is the base upgrade system from d2 >And if you are just supposed to use them when they are relevant, why do a lot of them have unique traits that could be considered build defining?because ggg retarded
>>553572987uniques use the base item type but they can have modifiers which increase the stats, just like rare itemsa unique weapon could have a mod that adds 10000 physical damage and it would be the best weapon in the gamebut yes it does mean that a unique available at lvl 1 will have terrible stats
I liked it better when we could only use 1 support each. it had weight and now we have lineage supports as well. what a shit terrible change.
>>553572987You can get flat damage (or whatever the unique is missing) in other places so you can make favorable tradeoffs.E.g. Adonia's Ego provides a ginormous damage boost if you use the power charge mechanic, so you can easily get over it not being the best caster weapon. Widowhail scales your quiver very hard so you can make up for low base damage, Lioneye's Vision makes projectile attacks always barrage so you have double damage to start with etc.
performance got WAY worse for me since this last patch. went from pretty good fps that sometimes struggled during big packs with lots of effects, which is understandable, to a shit storm mess any time more than 10 enemies are on screen. how much more shit do i have to put up with to play this fucking game.
>>553568071spark damage matters for getting comet coc procsuse pierce 3 instead of forkuse blood magic on the tree instead of wasting a support on lifetap if you dont use mana at all (and then replace zenith with faster casting or something)level your gems, you should at least use a corrupted 19+1 spark and cometget rings with cast speedget a better staff again with cast speedget boots with 35 movespeed probably replace that belt with hh (get 2 charm slots so you can use a 3rd charm)probably replace choir with a +3 spell amulet with cast speed and shit
>>553574667It was a bold but good idea that wasn't sufficiently supported by a nice selection of skills, so it felt more stifling than fun. It's unfortunate that they give up on core design ideas so easily under pressure. Sometimes the pressure is completely justified and it ends up being the right call, but I really don't think that was the case with support gems. At least they kept lineages capped so you don't have to get a rakiata for your every herald or some shit.

What spear skill do I use to clear on my chalupa + rapid assault meme build? Rapid assault works great on bosses and I have a mirage exploding spear popping the bonus spearheads.For clear I've been fucking about between twister, lightning spear and explosive spear but they're all kinda mid. Feels a bit like you gotta fully commit to using one of them to make it work. I suppose there's also the option to anoint tribal fury and clearing with rapid assault but ancestral call happening every x seconds is kind of fucking annoying. It makes the clear feel shitty.

>>553590637idk i dont know what it looks like but it should drop twice as much loot
>>553595613i didn't build the tub temple, just a more casual one
>>553594690It's not really for survivability, it's for damage maxing.
>>553595335it already takes my slow ass like 40 hours to finish the campaign so if slow means even slower i'm not sure about that kek>>553595562the whole fun of arpgs to me is making my own build so not planning to follow any guides, but cool to see corpse explosion first on whatever this list isso far i've done a tempest bell monk when early access dropped, minions + corpse explosion witch, poisonburst pathfinder, and wyvern druid that i turned into a demon bear when i found the unique talisman probably going to try a new class so maybe blood mage with leech or something where i can do poison+bleed and get a bunch of herald of blood explosions which sounds cool
>>553595016Oh wow that’s fucking stupid, thanks for explaining though
>>553596297It should not take you 40 hours to do the campaign unless you are doing something extremely wrong. I play hcssf, do every optional side objective, do the temple as I level, listen to some of the lore, reset zones when I am behind in gear, and it takes me like 20 hours at most.
SAY MY NAME
>>553596639even with my last char which was the wyvern druid it took that long, and it was by far my strongest characteridk i stop and think at the passive tree a fair bit, spend way too much time trying to compare and slam new gear, probably a lot of it comes from TPing back to town every time my inv is full to sell or salvage shiti made a new witch recently with the intent to try blood mage and speed through the game relatively quickly and it only took me 4 hours to get through act 1 which was definitely faster than i've done it previouslymy first playthrough i legit would full clear a zone before moving on, shit took me forever but it was funalso does ssf lose the currency exchange? i figure so but not sure
>>553596089
lads I require guidance. I just got my warrior to the final interlude area with doryani's sleepy vaal. I'm level 65, the only unique I'm using is a Tidebreaker I picked up through trade.everything is getting rough. I can't clear my temples anymore because the architect chamber boss kills me. If there are rares with the wrong affixes I end up actually dieing, like one extremely fucked up abyss enemy had some ground degen so strong I couldn't stand still long enough to use my attacks. I've taken as much survivability as I can from the talent tree (I pathed up to the shaman node that gives you res for example.) I have 56 exalt and 10 chaos in my stash, should I go buy myself new gear now or tough it out until maps? Or a certain level breakpoint?

>>553599751Jonathan desperately wishes poop2 looked this good
>>553600916can you please put some fucking effort in your doomsissyingthis is pathetic man
>>553600831going to post any evidence of that claim?
>>553600831would
>>553598845Okhttps://pobb.in/w6SMGE71_a0UI'm just using gear I slammed together by running temples and using the exalted benches in there. Right now it feels like my survivability is 100% the result of just hitting the potion button over and over.
>>553600831Don't think so. Chayula is the only Breachlord that has been described as coherent and stable enough to work with people. All other Breachlords are insane destructive retards. Esh and Tul are in no state to do decades-long gay ops so it would have to be Uul-Netol if anyone else. It is possible Oriana could be a Chayula minion. But it's also possible she just gets corrupted by the Beast in Act 5 and has to be put down.
>>553601586The other 4 breachlords are all merged into Xesht by the time poop2 rolls aroundmore likely she's an agent of one of the scourge demons considering that corruption in poop2 spawns scourge enemies
>>553589109You don't have to do the temple
>>553601056>>553601586the leader of the twilight order "secretly works with a breachlord" to genetically modify/produce "the savior"the savior is lumerius who is oriannas son"a fact some find strangely coincidental" pretty obvious if your high iq...
>>553602680>"secretly works with a breachlord"where does it say that in this blurb
>>553591637if 100 clicks causing you problems then you gotta be playing a different genre
>>553602863its in the artbook nig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4lyWUmPwFY
>>553601789Keepers of the Flame league established that Chayula's been hanging out in Wraeclast for a long time doing cult shit with Ailith being his main representative. Oriana being a Scourge demon would mean the Order got hijacked from its original purpose, which I assume was Chayula attempting to weaken Wraeclast's pantheons to make it easier for him to conquer the world. >>553602680Zolin also talks about Chayula a lot in the endgame and it's heavily implied the player talks to Chayula directly at some point in the campaign and works out some uneasy agreement. It's possible that something went wrong with his Twilight Order plan since you are totally shitting on all of his hard work by Act 5 and you don't end up smearing his purple ass all over the walls.
>>553603167None of these look like breach monstersThey're all more like temple of lunaris / piety / beast monstersalso post the timestamp, I'm not watching 40 minutes of some sloptuber

>>553603609>EARLY MARCHNyehehehehehhehe
Anyway, let's see what I get.
>>553596089I have a friend who's always been into d2 and still plays it but I could never get him into poe1. He tried once or twice, got to maps but that's it. He instantly got into poe2 in 0.1 and has been playing multiple 90+ characters in every league since. He might not be a genius build creator but I'd say he's easily better at poe2 than 90% of poe1 "veterans".
>>553603864Sad noises
>>553597484>also does ssf lose the currency exchange? i figure so but not suresolo self found means no trading of any kind
>>553603864I've never found one of these
release the goblin skin now.
>>553603609>In keeping with our four month development cycle, you can expect Path of Exile 3.28 to launch 4.5 months after 3.27lol okay guys. whatever at least it's only a small delay
>>553603167WTF how can they use Bex's likeness???? She doesn't work there anymore.
>>553604243So who here speaks Asian
>>553604472don't you fags cry about GGG rushing shit out all the time
>>553601338I don't know if the tidebreaker is a good weapon for that level but for your armor pieces they all pretty much suck. Replace them with new pieces that have more life, res and armor. Swap out the blackflame to a rare ring that gives you actual stats.
Already took off March 6th thru the 15th in anticipation of this. Even if they delay it a week I'm still good. Finally some new PoE to play after 4 months of nothing.
>>553604895retard
>>553604472the league is 4 months long, there is a week between the end of a league and the start of the next one.
>>553604769if they wanted to switch a 5 month cycle i wouldnt care. im making fun of them for lying about it
>>553600354more like warframe stole your soul and now you're a soulless drone grinding away
>>553577426we did it bros
>>553598064kek i'm watching it right now
I do wonder if they even have an idea what they'll do for the next league.
>>553605187just spitballing here but I'm thinking it'll be a mechanic that's mostly about killing monsters in a circle but it has an out of map component that drops lots of well-rolled rares
>>553605416Okay but what colour though?
>>553605076putting on some music and grinding excavation with my Vauban was comfy af
>Keepers>>Kill things in a circle>>Out of map component for getting items/currency>Mercs>>Kill single enemy in a map>Settlers>>Kill things in a circle>>Out of map component for getting items/currency3.28 will be Metamorph 2
>>553603293I wonder how that would work out if you're playing Acolyte of Chayula. It seems that he already has some unique dialogue. He brings up the dreamer a bunch.
>>553605685TLI is already rehashing that idea so that's just funny.
>>553605723Acolyte Monk probably just ends up agreeing with Chayula and continues being an orbiter.Invoker/???? Monk might be different paths where he thinks Chayula is kind of cringe and does his own thing instead. It could hard for him since he was raised at Ailith's monastery since he was a kid.
apparently niggyd said in a podcast that they actually made a dedicated poe1 team
>>553606330this would be extremely unretarded if true which is why i doubt it
yi kespoo2? tubbed to shit
>the scat fetishist is awake
>>553606330I genuinely, and I mean this in a completely non-shitpost manner, do not believe anything "positive" GGG has to say about PoE1. They've lied and lied so many times that this is just another to the pile.
>>553606487I have to hold on to hope, even if I know it is misplaced or false.
oh shit they got me
>>553606774Lmao, so it does just create more tabs to put stuff in.
>>553606774lel
3.28 is going to rival affliction in player retention due to them reworking every scarab in the gamethere will be so many new combos it will be impossible to test them all in one league
>>553606774jfc
>>553579208and to determine the final winner, they go against each other, hence the comment, redditor
JONATROON
>>553606774absolute madman
>>553607024keepers and fate of the vaal have proven without a shadow of a doubt that more loot and more endgame juice = better retentionquestion is what ggg does with that information
>>553604725ë² ë„¤ë¦¬ëˆˆ 호남순 maybe idk if it's nonsense I just typed it out in hangul
>>553606487i agree. poe1 is dead and we should all move on.
lol
>>553606774Imagine the guy who bought all those wisdom scrolls to be able to buy that from you. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or worried.
>>553606774this was the itemi thought it was pretty good but nobody else felt the same way
>>553607328agreed poe is dead
>>553606487there is an interview destin did with mark awhile back, he was VERY adamant about his and gggs devotion to poe1. it was kind of a 'the lady doth protests too much' moment, i don't think ggg are happy with the situation they are in.
>>553604725>>553607290>호남순forgot to add that this could be a nameHo Nam-Sun or maybe Nam-Soon it's also hard to guess if he romanized the letters correctly as korean has a lot of vowels
>>553607727i believe in marks devotion to poe1, he clearly loves the game. jonathan on the other hand seems like he would be happier if it just stopped existing
>>553603609>In keeping with our four month development cycle, you can expect Path of Exile 3.28 to launch early March. As usual, there will be a content reveal livestream to display what we've been working on, and the date for this will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, there's still plenty of time left to finish your Keepers League challenges, and maybe you'll finally tell Ailith the truth!fine fuck it ill do the challenges, how is RF nowadays? i skipped this league but poe2 is just not clicking with me in 0.4
>>553607563rarity might be a bit undervalued at least among temple farmers but that looks like a nice amuletI'd gladly wear it on a caster
>check pohx video on RF>says elementalist is best>says check website>says RF chieftan is bestis this faggot retarded?
i never played poe 1, what are swords like in that game? when they're introduced in poe 2, will i be able to do something like whirling assault but with swords? will they have the same bullshit as mace skills where it's slow as fuck?
>>553607290>>553607852I'll never know but thanks for trying. I thought it was going to be some South Korean Bound (gloves)
>>553608801They might give us Cyclone as a sword skill in poe2, but it won't be a "hold the button down and spin forever" kind of skill, it'd probably be some kind of charge spender. And no there's no way sword skills would have the added flat attack time like mace skills aside from maybe a handful that would probably be finishers, that goes against their whole design philosophy in 1 with maces, axes, and swords. Maces are slow and hit the hardest, swords are the fastest and more crit-oriented, and axes are somewhere in the middle.
>keepers released 4.5 months after mercs>3.28 announced as "early march", meaning 4.5 months after keeperserm... this doesnt really look like a 4 month league cyclethe schedule is already raped by jonatroon forcing the poe2 league before christmas. what happens when the 4.5 month cycle continues and 3.29 releases at the end of july? will 3.30 get the pre-christmas slot since early december is 4.5 months would be 4.5 months after that? are they just going to skip a league? are they going to rush out a poe1 league with even less dev time to get back on track?
im so bored of temple, but im too committed to reaching lvl 100 to give up now. i can do like an hour of temple then have to take a detox break. Also fuck shield wall, build is good on a budget but just doesnt scale well with good gear
>>553607727I think Mark enjoys PoE1 a lot but he gets emasculated by Jonathan's hakas during their stand up meetings when he tries to push for more resources onto PoE1.
With the current cadence 0.5 gonna be late march/early april, so 1 month of poe1 again kek
>>553609838happy for you guys
>>553608801poe1 skills are not locked to weapons. The end result is that everyone uses axes, because they have the best damage/aspd ratio. Also keep in mind that poe1 slams are nothing like poe2 slams, they are fast as fuck. Anyway, swords are extremely niche right now.
>>553610109>poe1 skills are not locked to weaponsincorrect
>>553609838the most likely scenario is that they release 0.5 a solid 2 months after 3.28 and maybe do 3.29 and 0.6 with another 2 months inbetween, but then skip 3.30 to get poe2 1.0 out before christmasit makes perfect sense when you think about it
>try spark coc comet>spark is proccing comet too slowhow do i speed this up? does spark have to be lvl 21 or something? im using the covenent alpha howl variant

>>553610746purely a coincidence that the act chris did the most work on is the one everyone agrees is the best
>>5536103460.5 will be early april. there will be 2 weeks of 3.28 and they will announce 0.5.
>>553611004you mean ruthless? :)
>>553610346That would require them to (re)commit into "2 months between games" instead of "4 months between leagues", at least temporarily. It's not like they didn't walk back things before, but the chance they keep as is and drop 0.5 a month after 3.28 is pretty high
>>553610992they've been trying to find a way to make ground items worthwhile without making crafting easy for a while now
>>553610746why would i berate the man when the game would actually be good?
the tub is a sink of joy
On the other hand do you really need more than a week or two for poe1 in the current state. It's all going through the same motions
>>553611039>there will be 2 weeks of 3.28 and they will announce 0.5.at this point i wouldnt even be surprisedjonathan is not trying to kill poe1 though btw
>>553611554i hate how solved of a game poe1 is, I really fucking want a huge balance change even if it's for the "worse" so people can figure out more new shit
>>553611465the bald fucking retard poster has switched to jonathan for a reason lets not be naive
>>553611554yea you do
>>553611569the only thing that has an impact on is the gauntlet, and ziz will be moving that shit to poe2 the second 1.0 drops.
>>553559862
>>553611631kalandra called, people hated it
>>553612069who cares if some dadgamers hated it, just change shit up
>>553612069people only hated kalandra because of archnemesisit would have been a moderately successful patch without that
>>553612181the players who wanted change migrated to poe2.
>>553612452lake mechanic kind of sucked cock too honestly not because of the rewards but because how annoying it was to set it up, literally temple tier autism
>>553612576Yeah but without archnem people would have just ignored it like sanctum since it was an off map mechanic.
>>553612680yea the patch itself was alright, i didnt even mind archnem that much myself
why are both poe 1 and 2 suddenly crashing every time i change any setting
>temple suddenly stops dropping lock medallions>lose half of my spymastersit's over
>>553613268Your RAM is dying

When did you realize that PoE 1&2 are actually PvP games? Economical PvP.

how do i flicker strike in poe2?
>>553615197first you flickerthen you strike
i cant even be bothered to play the poe1 campaign damn maybe i just stopped caring about poe
>>553608801For now it's hard to say what sort of flavor they're gonna come up for swords, axes, daggers and flails. I think or hope in the long run we'll see more skills that are available across weapon classes.
>>553615868maybe in 2.0
>>553240520 heremy gf just broke up with me no cap

Is this game finally good?When are they gonna release the templar finally? Why is development so fucking slow?
Temple was created specifically for SSF players. Who else needs that much currency en masse to actually play the game? They're starting to design rewards and events around single player ssf drones watch.
>3.28 in early MarchI predicted this.
Insider hereThere was supposed to be more information in the timeline announcement but Jonathan is working with the top grief counsellors in NZ on the EOS wording so players won't riot too much

>second wind is already deadTRIBROS?
>>553621570>a mechanic that takes 50 hours of setup>in the mode where you have to do every mechanic in the gameehhhbut i really do wonder what ssf would have been like in this league. i went trade for once in my life because playing ssf in poe2 is so miserable but it actually might be pretty fun with all the shit you get from the temple
>>553619104is the play spamming lvl 1 waystones?
>>553622270not anymore. higher tier waystones with more mods = more crystals. 6 mod t15 is 2 crystals every time
https://pobb.in/jyM-bvTVRF0KI went ahead and got blood magic on my tree. Damage is pretty good with this setup but I'm so squishy. Currently 9 div to get the Metabolism anoint and I would probably not want to waste that on my cheap choir. Im probably going to have to shelve the character and go back to my starter until I have the currency.

>>5536251800.2.1 and 0.3.1 were a big success and GGG are totally going to make the same mistake three times, retard.
>>553625180>both of us know we'll get a 0.4.1, tooThey quite literally said they won't do a major mid league update this time around due to the holidays. Are you that unaware?
>>553625494they kinda already released a 0.4.1 with the temple mini rework but this time they did it so early that people actually begged them to revert it
>>553623719Everyone good quitting does not NEED to include BFR
>0.4.1Bro the league is gigadead, even if they clamped down on the temples today and nerfed everything to the ground it's way too late. The economy is just too fucked for anything to matter anymore.
>>553625494>the tower rework in 0.3.1 was actually bad! lmao
>>553625740ANOTHER private league will save 0.4.
>0.3.1 was goodwe have reached levels of contrarianism previously thought impossible.
theres no point in complaining about current systems because they're gonna be reworked completely at least 3 times before release
>>553625651lick those boots
>>553625930>It's shit>Stop complaining>GGG thinks it's now okay>They don't change it>1.0 releases>It's shitThat being said, complaining here doesn't really do anything.
First time here. I just made a new scion and gave her lightning tendrils and it... just costs no mana? I mean it does, but the mana regen is so high with just that one point into +20% mana regen (one of the first two passives available) that my mana just never goes below 210/211. Is this a bug, or is the spell too bad for it to matter, or what?
>>553626063>pointing out that ggg did in fact release a disastrous mid league patch>bootlicking
Towers sucked ass
>>553625880uh huh?
>>553626316ummmm /poeg/ explain this?
>>553626316towers were shit0.3.1 was shitthe current endgame is shitits a multi faceted situtation
>>553626316now do a compilation of all the people who were asking for towers back after 0.3.1 felt so underwhelming. You're also not mentioning them nerfing maps to the point that they felt empty. The patch wasn't well-received and most people just quit. For example, Fubgun told his audience to run the remaining maps that were influenced by towers and quit afterwards.
>>553626467>Multifaceted shitDamn, 5/5% poison shit?
>>553561179>bear is maces but "good"hahahahahha lmao you have got to be kidding. Bear is fucking dogshit
>>553562360you're not missing anything he's retarded. Calamity is dogshit on clear because it misses half the time and dogshit single target because it was "designed" for clear. The rampage slam shit is clunky and hard to steer bumper car tier dogshit that is almost laughably bad in high maps especially around abyss or any map with any sort of obstacles. It's like stampede levels of clunk on steroids

>>553626731So is Wyvern. Plants and Wolf were the only successes. Everything else is just awful. I still can't believe Tornado is some shitty phys DoT that needs tubbed ground to scale its damage.
>>553626584both of the things fubgun praised in 0.4 were only possible because of 0.3.1.weird.

>>553637879I guess that would skirt too close to p2w private leagues which they've said they will do anything possible to avoid

>>553640009simple solution: if phrecia is applied to a private league, it is a void league
>>553637879It just wasn't popular enough
What's sad is that so called "content creators" cannibalize their own games with shit like these private leagues. They aren't neccessary. They aren't needed. But they exist because if these people ever turn off POE2 the viewers all go away, since they aren't actually very entertaining.
how does that imply cannibalizing their own game

Ranged really is OP. You wouldn't believe how much shit in this game you can dodge by slowly circle strafing. A lot of bosses you can be point blank in their face and dps them completely unharmed by slowly moving in one direction.
>>553659593Diablo 4 unironically fixed this by giving melee access to flat damage reduction
>>553660015Yeah but there are no melee classes or melee-exclusive passives in PoE, so any buff to melee ends up being stronger on rangedGr8 game design right?
Is it possible to hit 100% deflection?
>>553659593They should add a support gem that just teleports you to who you're attacking. Everyone is all "monk so good" then he just teleports all over the place with whatever attack

>>553668480Just play wyvern and pretend you're swinging a huge axe and not your gay furfag wing.Also you forgot earthshatter, which doesn't feel like shit, BUT it gets fucked up by abyss pits and other geography and doesn't create rocks if something is blocking it, so you can end up being unable to attack.
>make melee le slow meaningful combat (maces)>literally everything else in the game goes at light speed and clears screen with 10k es
ALL they have to do to make melee feel good is to remove the gay retarded pointless +1 second attack time on skills but they refuse to do so
>>553669147Can you write specifically what would that do? Cuz I sure as fuck still wouldn't use rolling slam because it looks stupid, nor would I use sunder because it looks stupid.The only skill it would actually improve a bit is leap slam, which has no business being as slow as it is.
quarterstaves are melee too, chuds.
>>553669360retard
>>553669147melee will never feel good no matter what they dothe only way to make melee good is to turn it into a spell. Walking up to a guy and hitting him with your weapon will never be playable in PoE
>>553669147nobody will play it still if there are builds running around like coc comet. you've got shit like the diablo 2 auradin on fucking steriods that requires the bare minimum interaction with the game and you think people are going to opt for dodge rolling and watching rolling slam take 3 seconds to complete

>>553669360It's insane how much better the shapeshift skills feel in comparison to mace skills. I hope they rework the animations for maces.>>553669484Shapeshift melee felt pretty good to me. My main issue was with the limited skill pools per form since they went for 3 forms straight out the gate. Would've been better had they released just 1 or 2 forms for now. Wolf literally has one way to play it there's no optional skills or anything to swap to.
why didn't they make rapid assault auto target the nearby enemies like multistrike/zeal? it would be really nice to play if it did but since it doesn't you have to constantly animation cancel to use it

>>553675026>I hope they rework the animations for maces.I don't think it's an animation problem, I think it's a confluence of things, some of those things are legitimate problems (skills being buggy, or very conditional and not worth the effort), and some are possibly ok design choices that just feel like shit in the current state of the game (too few gems, wacky balance). The pre-built combos really limit creativity when you have so few gems, mace skills come only in 2 flavors, combo and "slow windup big (not big enough) payoff". The game needs 2-3 extra "smack guy, something IMMEDIATELY happens" skills, because as it is, you have to use either autoattack, or you have to pick one of the slow skills/combos and do your best to make them tolerable.>Wolf literally has one way to play it there's no optional skills or anything to swap to.This is pretty true but honestly they made a pretty good foundation for all 3 forms and combining them. Now we just have to hope they don't plan to keep the "2 new skills per tier lol" shit forever, cuz it makes the game feel really empty. I think they're focusing too much on creating diverse skills each with their unique animation. It's laudable but it makes the game feel empty and no one would bitch if they reskinned a few animations to create meaningfully mechanically different skills you can choose from.
To me, it seems like there's a lot of players who essentially hate the game and think it sucks. I get that there's bad parts about the game but to many the whole game seems filled with them.And they have hundreds of hours put to it, and are active on the forums.I can see that forums are mostly used for venting negative experiences; as humans we have a bias for negativity and are more likely to give negative than positive feedback.But many of those players have a post history of months or a full year full of telling how much the game sucks.So.. Why they spend time playing the game and spend time in its community?I just don't get it. PoE1 and 2 have had some of the most negatively minded players I've seen. I haven't seen this much negativity in GW2 or ESO or D2 or Warframe or CS or NWN or Overwatch (games that I've played more than a hundred hours).
>>553676870https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1qbov0x/one_thing_i_never_understood_about_part_of_the/
>>553676870Basically GGG "promised" (or perhaps we also assumed) that poe1 is getting a very big update, what came out is not what the community expected and the community quickly turned on GGG because prior to the poe2 launch, poe1 community endured a year of no new league which is extremely unusual but the community still have hope for the grand vision.When poe2 launched, the state of the game is very unfinished (as early access title would usually be) but also there's a growing discontent on how poe2 is taking away so many resources from the already well established poe1 and as a result, delivered no new meaningful content for poe1 for over a year and poe2 was so different from the poe1 formula. The much slower paced gameplay is so vastly different from poe1 it might be an entirely different game. Lots of veterans poe1 players feel very much betrayed by GGG but still loved poe1, and some of them acted in very aggressive and verbal ways, including attack on the devs team and the game poe2.I as both a poe1 and poe2 enjoyer see both the good and the bad, I will admit I did get very frustrated when I have to wait more than a year waiting on the shipdock for poe2 to come out but I do enjoy the slower gameplay and understand what GGG is aiming for. POE2 is trying to give a new ARPG experience, albeit a very unpolished one that doesn't necessarily match it's predecessor at launch. I enjoy both games but poe2 needs so much more work to remotely compare to poe1 in build diversity and endgame content options. It just needs time.Lastly you still have the mediocre league in recent poe1 that might have angered quite some of the fan base which only further fuelled the fire. I understand why some of the individual are angry, they have proper reason to be. At the same time we do also need to acknowledge how poe2 0.3 and 0.4 made some great progress and Im really excited for 0.5 for the endgame rework.
>>553676870Because the game does a good job at mazing you, you're always thinking mmmh maybe this patch fixed this or that, maybe if i get that node or a new weapon it will feel good, and it does for a brief moment but after that all the bad things are still there.
>>553677396>replying to a reddit post
>>553677394it's still bizarre that we get a year long poe1 league and poe2 is still incomplete
Here's the core issue of doomers:They are mostly incredibly stupid and/or casual normalfags, and thus they lack the capacity to meaningfully interface with either game. Because of that they are unable to make any true qualitative statements and if they do it's always extremely myopic and surface level stuff like "poe2 crafting BAD" but they can't substantiate these claims once challenged. That's why they pretty much all latched onto the most normalfag of critiques: muh metrics. To any level headed person it's self evident that these posts reek of desperation and are so fundamentally retarded that it's not worth engaging with them, which in turn provides doomers with a false sense of accomplishment, because they think they actually have a solid point. Where it truly falls apart however is that numerically PoE1 is doing a lot worse than PoE2. Once you point that out they invariably fall back on insults. They've self cast themselves into a culture war which they are losing from the outset. It's embarrassing.
Connor says 3.28 should be delayed
>>553676240>I don't think it's an animation problemWith maces I do think there's a fair few skills where the animation is a big part of the problem. Sure, the attack timing would likely need to be redone but it's related to the animations being ridiculous. You can't just speed them up to fix it. >skills being buggy, or very conditional and not worth the effortThis is overall an issue with many skills in PoE2. Spears probably suffering from it the most. Almost every skill in the spear category is conditional somehow. >and some are possibly ok design choices that just feel like shit in the current state of the game (too few gems, wacky balance)Agreed but if this is the case they shouldn't have included those skills yet. It's only leading to a bunch of misaligned feedback and anger from the playerbase as we don't have access to the full vision yet. >The game needs 2-3 extra "smack guy, something IMMEDIATELY happens" skillsYes absolutely. >I think they're focusing too much on creating diverse skills each with their unique animationIt's funny because if they made some of those simpler press button thing happens skills they wouldn't need such complex animations for them.
>>553677658MOTHER OF ALL TRVKES
>>553677658the poo2 crafting is bad because it feels bad. nobody actually wants to handle 200 white bases for a finished good item. the experiment sounds good/fun on paper, but only when the ceiling for items is much much lower.you don't have a bigger brain for enduring the pain of handling the poo2 crafting.
>>553677394had poe2 been the 4.0 update the game would've been doa
>>553677658>surface level stuff like "poe2 crafting BAD"POE2 crafting actually good, it's so unfrustrating and comfy to just randomly throw currency at ground loot and maybe get a 50d item, or immediately forget about it if you don't.

>>553671152>200% of 50% of armourThe fuck is this wording
>>553677921it's good if you play like that, but if you wanna make a specific item it's a trash system.also, throwing shit on the wall and see what sticks gets old fast if 99 out of a 100 times the thing doesn't stick.

Do you seriously think people are buying hundreds of these?https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/zj425Vmh4The answer is obviously no, because you can deterministically craft the entire thing.

>>553677991You get 10% spell suppress.That gives you 5% chance that, when you get hit, you apply 200% of your armour to that hit.>>553678078>but if you wanna make a specific item it's a trash system.It's not hard to make specific items in POE2 rn, omens and desecration are pretty deterministic.>>553678174>it's good if you just play like a casual shitterIt's how good players play POE2 both in SSF and in trade, you don't have to take my word for it, you can just observe.>>553678237>Actual crafting requires a bazillion items you won't see until endgame.Just throw the currency you have (or can buy) at items you have (or can buy) in a way that makes sense to achieve a certain outcome.I'm not saying you have to like it, I'm saying I like it, because it gives me good items and currency from trade, and because the time spent being frustrated at bad outcomes is minimal, and bad outcomes often aren't even costly (barring some 6 line crafts, but the game is so undertuned you don't even need to aim that high).
>>553678832anon, people in ssf don't run with perfect or near perfect items, because the content is so watered down, you don't even close to need it.the best way to craft a specific item in poo2 is find a half-done one and finish the other side with essence-essence-desecrate, that's not "good crafting"
>>553678832>it's determinism because if you use a prefix/suffix omen enough times you will hitbig brain take
>if i play the lottery enough times i will win, so it's determinism
>>553678816It's really not that bad. >aug annul until "all spells" of your prefference + any prefix>crit essence >annul prefix>slam any suffix >whittle until t1 cast speed>desecrate + mana prefix >slam annul until you hit desired prefixes >omen of light>desecrate missing 3rd prefix >optional: lock for 3 socket or +1spell This will cost you about half a mirror, for an almost perfect item, except that it has t2 instead of t1 crit. And it's 100% deterministic.
>>553679359>just spend half a mirror if you want to deterministically craft an itemyou're right i was very wrong, this is actually great crafting!
>>553679203Sorry if I used the wrong word. What I'm trying to say is that you can skew the odds using omens and desecration quite significantly, which lets you target specific affixes in a way that ensures that you won't take many attempts to get a decent tier.>>553678975I'm just telling you that I like the system. I'm not particularly worried about whether it's considered "good crafting" or not, I'm just saying I'm finding it enjoyable and in particular compared to POE1 crafting, which is more comprehensive but also more frustrating for me. Like I explained, the pain points of POE2 crafting are very short and you don't even think about them. I am still mad about missed Aisling slams from years ago.
>>553678832I just think it's a bad system because most of of the players will never engage actual crafting and i also think that's by design.
>>553679359somehow the crafting in poo2 is even worse than it was in poe1 lmao
>>553679359xD
>>553679495>getting perfect gear should be cheap and easy See, I'm 100% correct on my assessment. You guys are retards and casuals.
>>553679359ok, but how do i make a mid tier item that has the same mods, just 2-3 mods at a worse tier? oh, you can't?how do i make a mid-tier item that has 4 or 5 of these mods? oh i can't?
>>553679701Tell me the mid tier item you want and I'll tell you how to get it.
>>553679693my issue isn't that perfect gear is hard to make, it should be like that. the issue is that this is the only "real" crafting in the game, and there is practically no way to make anything worse and cheaper than this, except "just slam random items you find until you hit good"you were the one that assumed i wanted perfect stuff, i want mid to good stuff to craft, but you can't exactly do that
>>553679701retard
>>553679804>proceeds to make a tradesearcha ring:T1 LifeT2 ResT2 ResT1 Cast speedrest of the mods doesn't matter, don't involve buying a bunch of bases and hitting them until i hit
I would like to know how many people like this system and how many don't like it but don't care because you can just buy good items on trade.
>>553679568I don't really judge systems by how other players engage (or don't) in them, I go by my own enjoyment.
>>553608790>says elementalist is bestnot really, with elementalist you get decent early raw damage but basically lose everything else that makes RF a good leaguestarter>no hinekora pops>no easy gearing / resist capping
>in poo2 you either craft perfect items or don't craft at allyeah i enjoy this system a lot
>>553680753retard
>>5536799201) Buy or find item with 1 or 2 of desired mods2) aug, regal, desecrate the restIf you don't like this, I would like to know how you would like it to be. Would you like to just add each mod one by one with different items, each with 100% chance to be the perfect mod and tier?Feels like you should play EVE online and not POE.
>>553681071that's not deterministic crafting, and also involves handling hundreds of bases if you play ssf
>>553681071poe1 had it solved pretty well compared to this dogshit
>>553681130I think that was the point bro. the poo2 "crafting" system is intended to make ground loot more "meaningful"
>>553681276>buy a half finished item1yeah that's a great way to make ground loot matter.i'd say it's a good thing that you naturally evolve out of ground loot mattering after a while
>>553679920What you posted is not a mid tier item. But I'll show you how to craft what you want for cheap. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate%20of%20the%20Vaal/vew5R42jsEPlop in any ring you want here. And buy like 3-5 of them. Literally dirt cheap. Slam an aug, hope for life or cast speed. If not doesn't matter. >essence of body>catalyze it up with an element you don't have as res>omen of catalizing + perfect ex + dextral exaltation>will most likely hit t1 or t2 res>catalyze caster >omen of catalizing + perfect ex + dextral exaltation>will most likely hit t1 or t2 cast speed>deserate kurgal for spell damage>slam on any 2 prefixes
>>553681440>buy a bunch of half finished rings>get lucky on one>toss the restcase in point, shit system sorry anon
>>553681372I'd say that the entire loot system needs a huge rework because there's no excuse for dropping hundreds of items just to filter them all away except for T0 uniques, but GGG has dug themselves so deep in this hole they literally found China
>>553681440ok, but that ring don't have no life and is practically worthless, sorry chud
>>553681523As the other anon already asked, how should this work in your opinion?
>>553681372>i'd say it's a good thing that you naturally evolve out of ground loot mattering after a whilewhy? what purpose does that serve other than to make drops that much more worthless?
>>553681639retard
>>553681659It makes finding good ground loot feel good, it makes upcrafting ground loot feel even better, and it makes failing those upcraft gambles not even register as unpleasant, you just move on.
>>553681597the problem is that up to 1-2 months before EA launch all they developed and designed was campaign gameplay. the endgame item progression and gameplay is an afterthought nobody has put any thought into it up until that point.anyone would see that "ground loot matters" should stay relevant until maybe early endgame and then making your own items should start becoming more and more important
>>553681798>anyone would see that "ground loot matters" should stay relevant until maybe early endgameI think the idea with POE2 is that exceptional and tiered gear is that it stays relevant forever, and I think this is more or less like that now, at least if you value making currency of gear sales.
>>553681641as i said, poe1 has this solved pretty well. alterations, scours, essences that reroll items. handling multiple bases for 1 craft feels so dogshit, i can't even explain.it seems they chose this system simply to sell more tabs to collect your "crafting projects" in>>553681659because if ground loot mattered up to the tippy top you'd reach a point where you look at so many items to find an upgrade, you'd look at items more than actually kill monsters. making your own items feels way better than just getting lucky.
haven't touched PoE in a good whilehonestly feels pretty good to be free from the maze
>>553681238I think poe1 crafting sucks
>>553681984>alterations, scours, essences that reroll items.This trade-off is that it completely devalues ground loot.
>>553681946do you really interact with t4/t5 items at this point in the league?it feels like even though they "roll well" you have to interact with way too many items to get a good one.
>niggas think essence spamming a fracture base is good craftingKEK
>>553682105And that's a bad thing how? Ground loot in poo2 feels dogshit to interact with, because it's such a chore - you're practically looking for a needle in a haystack of items, but you need to know what's good for other builds, and you don't even know if the needle's actually there. And there is no way to tell if the item you're looking at is a needle or hay unless you look at it.
>>553681789>It makes finding good ground loot feel good????????? this directly contradicts what you just said about "...naturally evolve out of ground loot" if it's a "good thing" that it eventually becomes worthless over time.>it makes upcrafting ground loot feel even betterokay so ground loot matters then, even if it's for crafting fodder?>and it makes failing those upcraft gambles not even register as unpleasant, you just move on????????????????
>>553682190what did you expect from "people" who unironically like alteration spamming lmao
>>553682235>but you need to know what's good for other buildsjust like in poo1 retard
>>553682235>but you need to knowSee, again. These are casual shitter problems. You are arguing against complexity because you're too stupid.
>>553682190It's better than looking at hundreds of items and tossing them tbqh>>553682324>using 1000 alteration on 1 bases is bad>using 1000 transmutes on 1000 bases is good
>>553682391>y-yeah it's better bro trust meI crafted multiple chaos dot quivers and poo1 has a dogshit crafting system just as poo2 you're a shitter who doesn't play the game
they will be releasing the 0.5 endgame teaser the second weekend of 3.28
>>553682343>you're only good if you know what all builds need, not just your buildyeah idk but that's not complexity
>>553682261get checked for autism
>>553682119If they're interesting bases I do, regardless of the point in the league, I like to gamble.>you have to interact with way too many items to get a good one.Maybe it's just me, but I don't "have" to do shit, I do what I feel like and don't do things that I don't feel like doing, and it works out. >>553682261>this directly contradicts what you just said aboutThat wasn't me sorry.>okay so ground loot matters then, even if it's for crafting fodder?Yes, ground loot matters in poo2.>????????????????The POE2 crafting isn't frustrating because you have many cheap, quick attempts to get lucky. I like this.POE1 crafting can be INCREDIBLY frustrating, I'm sure you agree even if you love the game like I do.
>>553681238poe1 crafting is absolute dogshit from needing encyclopedic knowledge regarding crafting to having to interact with a half dozen different sources (harvest, bestiary, recombinator, etc.) to trading for materials/item bases it's absolute dogshit...
>>553682465it's not perfect, but it's better than handling hundreds of bases
I was bored so i started theorcrafting another fake ascend. I think it both lacks focus but also more generic nodes. It was meant to be a minions / str stack / str bow ascend. Hire me GGG
>>553681238lollmao even
holy cringe
they made ground loot actually matter in poe1 with high% bases, unironically more interesting than poo2
Anybody who thinks PoE1 crafting is superior has never crafted a good item in it.
>>553682740what compels a man to think of totems as cool
>>553682873so did poo2 with exceptional bases
Any good recommendations for fire aligned monsters for Bind Spectre?
>>553682973make it nearly impossible to craft on them because poo2 has no good crafting
>>553683040retard
>>553682630>having to interact with a half dozen different sources (harvest, bestiary, recombinator, etc.)I don't mind that, it's just a consequence of each league mechanic adding more crafting tools. I think it's interestingWhat I hate is alt/chaos spamming. Just clicking over and over and over until your item highlights is literally the worst gameplay in the game and arguably the only reason crafting is profitable
>>553682630so instead of learning the complexity you advocate for removal of said complexity and remove everyone's chance of making good items?
>poe1 crafting>allocate passive in the wombtree>wait for your item to dropit's not that hard
>>553683623Why are you saying that like it's somehow absurd?It's totally reasonable.
>>553683623>chanceyes
>>553683623a system doesn't have to be (needlessly) complex to be rewarding. I don't see how the two are directly interwoven at all. the system isn't just complex either, it's broken but for the sake of argument lets say it's only real issue is it's overly complex; that complexity itself filters out people from making good items. poe2 is attempting to fix this.
>>553684078nobody is saying that.but poe1's system isn't needlessly retarded, it's just grown over years and years. newsflash: the poo2 system will also grow over the years, it has already grown, and will eventually become just as complex.
>>553680753thats not true at all. B+ items are flat out too easy to craft with gessence of abrasion and pessence of battle and deterministic omen desecrations on amulet/ring.
>>553679920>T1 cast speedif you're going to metatroon you're going to have to pay up.
rate my haul
>gessence>pessence
>>553681440>catalyze caster>omen of catalizing + perfect ex + dextral exaltation>will most likely hit t1 or t2 cast speedLMAO you've never done this craft.
>>553688406abrasion is fucking trash lmao
>>553688824T3 flat phys is all you need in this game why pretend otherwise?
>>553689038need vs wantyou don't need to play the game either
>>553689224The reasonable way to play a videogame is to see which options you have at your disposal and use the efficient ones.I don't know why you think you're entitled to creating good items out of thin air. POE1 wasn't like that either.
>>553689524yeah the reasonable way to play is to buy your items.making them yourself is a no-starter in poop 2
>>553689653retard
>>553689653is poe1 really letting players craft T1 flat phys for free? surely it's not that much of a baby game?
>>553689871of course not, making phys weapons is fucking pain
>>553690183just recomb, sis
>>553689653>yeah the reasonable way to play is to buy your items.dunno I prefer just throwing what currency I have at items I find and trying to make them better, feels good when it hits and I see my numbers go up by thousands.
Which one would you pick?
>>553690871I'd pick Doryani and vendor it.
>>553690871Ultimately I'd rather have Spirit on my Amulet than my Chest if I needed additional Spirit. If I didn't I'd choose Life.
>>553690871both rlly goid, i'd say if theres no immediate good benefit to the extra spirit rn then id go the life, but if its a spirit starved build then obvs go that
>>553690871Life pairs nicely with the % life on the amulet but spirit isn't a bad choice either. If you're making it to sell price check.
>>553690871remnants effect

>>553696270>>mid march 0.5isn't their model 3 leagues a year not 4? 0.2 came out early April just for reference
>>553696848it will be early april, most likely the 10th.3.28 will get a couple of weeks before the 0.4 teasers start.

i cant wait until march....
3.28 will have a peak player count of 184kScreenshot this.
On "maintenance mode"1) POE has had very small-scale (some would say modest) content updates for years if not decades, with tons of asset reuse and making more with less. You could say it already is in maintenance mode.2) The idea that they want or need to release even less of it is silly, because they're already running a very lean ship and making good money. So memes like "eos" and "maintenance mode" are just retarded.
dear incelchuds, we need to talk
Man, why is the endgame boss design so fucking garbage in both games? No wonder people are desperate for builds that one-phase all of them.

>>553699391you're wrong.
>>553699221That's what happens when you make player characters essentially immortal to anything but those raw big damage hits thanks to regen/leech/ES.

>>553699654retard
>>553699563I was willing to engage with it for a while but when I saw that PoE1 bosses mostly have a couple fuck you attacks and are otherwise uninspiring, at this point I don't even feel bad looking up the mechanics.
you will NEVER seen a poo1 baby more angry than after you suggest playing a build that has to engage with game mechanics
I engage with mechanics by making a build so powerful that I no longer need to interact with mechanics.
