note that twitch isn't over 200k viewers despite no one being able to play so they must have seriously cheaped out to lowballed it too much.

Just make sure you set it up correctly the first time or it'll take 150 mandatory in game hours to fix! It only prints 25x more currency than every other activity in the game so no pressure.

I wouldn't bother learning it atm, will prob be getting major changes.
It was really autistic and broken, killed the league and economy so there is no chance its staying the same.

Heyo bros, i came here looking for advice, i am trying to become better at self-sufficiency so decided to create SSF character and close all content without trade.
My build:
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/kohd_Sayonara-7623/vaalssf/character/MyOtherBearIsPanda
My problems:
I die A LOT on maps, and you will say something like "ofc you die a lot, fucking retard, you have 0 chaos res" problem is that during campaign and early maps, i got/rolled only 4 items with chaos res, and they all had either horrible stats that i dont need or rolled horrible numbers. How do i solve chaos res problem in early transition from campaign to maps?
Would you kindly look at my tree and perhaps give some advices for this particular build, perhaps there is a node that would make me super tanky close to me, or node that would double my damage. Overall need advice about early passive tree pathing.
How do i get good jewels for my build without trade? is it really just

This is literally one of the core designs of PoE.

>>565079869
You can.
Ctrl+Click to skip confirmation.
It's still a fucking pain in the ass because you have to delete 90% of red beasts that are useless.

I already said this beofre but they should make beasts drop itemized when you kill them, so that you could just item filter them.

That's not a thing. Chaos is only a real problem as you go into higher tiers of maps. It's still easy to start mapping and grab essences to get better stuff.
Your life pool just sucks. Life on more gear pieces.
Gambling for gear is great early on before crafting. Going all in on Essences and Abyss for craft maxxing
Armour applies to Ele is mandatory for that side of the tree. Your hat has some and you got Bastion of Forest. good. should also spend points taking Prism Guard.

Game is better than before, but don't expect anything insane. If you liked D4 before, you'll like it even more now. If you hated D4, you'll still hate it. Has better crafting mechanics with the cube, but more or less still the same game.

I dunno 90% of my death are either to abyss or other green colored shit. pretty sure Chaos damage hurts even in early game.

Diablo 4 fucking sucks, and that is sadder than it should be. I really wish that it didn't.

PoE is a great game, but some of that greatness is due to it being the only game in town, you know?

Can you imagine a world where D4 was awesome and so GGG had to step it up?

I bought D4.. I played a Warlock to 70 and change. Never been more bored in my entire fucking life. Every single thing you do in the game is just one of 3-4 variants of gameplay. The campaign was meh.. Predictable and very drawn out. I don't know how Blizzard can't just fucking make a proper game anymore.

its kinda funny that Diablo 4 is such a nonfactor that people were like "wait 3 weeks before reveal and release? It must be a big update!!!" and not that GGG is simply avoiding the new Diablo 4 xpac release period where a large amount of people will probably want to play the new season as well

if poe1ggers had their way, the entire game would be ms paint graphics with damage number pop ups that count up to 1 trillion damage and just constant light beams and tinks being played every 0.01s

What they want to play is Diablo 4, but they don't want to be known as a casual so they play Path of Exile

this is not really Diablo 4, it's chinkslop like Torchlight Infinite.
>>
>>565094803
I can believe they postponed the announcement because of Diablo 4. But not because they’re afraid, but because they want to fill the void it will leave. You can argue about the quality of the game but it's certainly not built to last. It simply doesn’t have that replayability and endgame that even current Poe 2 has. GGG are unrivalled when it comes to creating addictive mechanics.
>>565095738
A good game. I don’t give a shit which direction it takes, as long as it’s good. But I don’t think it’ll ever just be Poe 1 with updated graphics. At its core, Poe 2 is slower and more weighty.
>>
>>565095738
serious answer, almost exactly what they gave us right now. I want it to be even slower, where gameplay actually matters and builds legitimately feel different and not just different flavors of teleporting all over the map and seeing what color of skill deletes the screen.
>>
>>565095969

PoE 1 with better graphics and a new campaign. Nothing more, nothing less. I am still pissed about how slow the game is and I will never forgive GGG for making Sanctum and Ultimatum the required Ascendancy completion.

The original true evolution and sequel to Diablo 2, and they are on track to do so. The campaign is 1:1 in terms of aesthetics with the acts, kino boss fights that will only get more mechanical, great combat which again will only get better, poe1 into poe2 in terms of innovation which again will take time

in a nutshell indue time D2 but POE

D4 legitimately looks so goofy and it has nothing to do with the gameplay, I don't know how to describe it. It's like a really high budget version of a korean mobile game or something. Everything just exists on top of each other, nothing meshes well together. The Warlock demon animations just play one after another, there is no sense of flow. The mount just spawns in and spawns out of the ether, slowly fading away when you talk to a NPC. Even in World of Warcraft it felt more involved because of the casting animation.

That's the reason why they're dragging their feet for the full release since it's supposed to be F2P on 1.0. I won't put it past them to back out of that promise though.

>>565107585
I feel like that's one of the things they would actually get crucified for if they reneged on.

You just reminded me that we didn't have that either back then lmao, you maybe had a bit from uniques and that's it. Anyone who played poe1 back at 1.0 or in beta knows that the crafting in poe2 is already miles ahead of what we had back then. No shit they're not going to immediately catch up on over a decade of systems. Newbies are honestly spoiled as fuck, you don't even have to do anything to sustain maps nowadays. Finding a cartographer's strongbox was the highlight of your day, you went back to town and grabbed currency to chaos and vaal them. Now you probably don't even bother opening them.

The difference is that I'm not exaggerating at all, that was literally just what the game had. Eternal orbs were basically as good as it got, you could imprint and that was it.

along with only needing +level and other usable stats, this is going to be one of those things that Reddit will flip flop on as it gets more complex. I can predict with 110% accuracy that a couple of leagues from now, the most common critique will be that crafting is too complex and only favors the top 1% of players again

>Remember when everyone praised Last Epoch's crafting to high heavens and then realized progression in that game is meaningless other than getting 3LP uniques
They didn't praise it only for the endgame. It's a good system and works all the way through the campaign and beyond. You just have a poe brain and think if you don't have a five flask MB and 1 passive voices all over then you aren't really playing the game. LE crafting works still at 200 hours into a character, same with poe's method

It puts a finite limit to how many times an item can be used, thus incentivizing people to plan crafts more intelligently while not having to stack negative rarity gear to just get some bases to work with.
You can't endlessly scour, but you're also not sent into the cuck mines to farm white gear.
LITERALLY the best of both worlds.

LE just divides what would be one roll into a lot of smaller rolls. if poe2 did that then the chance of each roll hitting what you wanted would have to be reduced to balance it and oh look we're back at the same situation again oh dear.
>>
>>565123128
theyre so weird about it. they refuse to just come out and say what their intention behind rarity is they just complain over and over that players are understanding it and using it wrong. its incredibly irritating and unproductive. if rarity is supposed to have diminishing returns after 100 just hard cap it and display that in the UI this is so incredibly easy to solve.

i say this as someone who has no problem with rarity in poe2 as a concept because the game has so little suffix/prefix pressure and its a way to add some without making actual gameplay painful to play for have-nots. but the way they discuss it publicly is so useless and obnoxious.

Also, you literally DO get god tier loot from the ground. They're called memory strands. "Ground loot is bad" hasn't been a legitimate complaint in years.
It's a shame, since we've essentially ended up in the same situation the harvest nerfs way back in the day we're trying to avoid, where only literally perfect items are valuable.

you'd get players chimping out because they only have 99 rarity, claiming getting 100 rarity on certain builds is too easy, blah blah.

GGG have rightly pointed out that if you sac defenses to add rarity and die more, the stat is balanced, just like if you sac damage to add rarity and kill monsters slower.
what they clearly want to do is make the algorithm reflect that, but they also can't have Latest Broken Build printing divs because they fit 6000% rarity while being just unkillable enough to finish 6 mod maps. so they need to do the diminishing returns thing but be coy about it.

anyway the solution is to play SSF.

I still respect that Fromsoft refuses to tell players anything about how their systems work, making them test shit out themselves

>>565128687

>>565124526
>refuse to disclose what that actually means
it increases the chance of each tier of drops by that amount, but doesn't affect the weighting of individual items within that tier. the diminishing return is the only mysterious thing about it.
just how ritual rewards are divided into cost tiers, so are drops, and the legendary tiers are lower chance. so all 100% rarity does is halve the time it'll take for X thing to drop.
everything else is just player perception, largely shaped by the fact that a LOT of people only care about divs/hour, even though divs aren't even the highest tier of drop.
>>
>>565128687
Genuinely, how does SSF solve this? You literally still have the same problem but with no trade to bail you out. Do you think that people just rarity farm to sell stuff?

the fact that you came here to complain about it off-season proves how powerful it is.

Fromsoft need to be emulated more properly.
They don't interact with their playerbase at all, what so ever. They drop their games with minimal marketing and let players figure everything out.
I just wish Fromsoft would stop releasing on PC so things can stop being datamined, now whenever one of their games releases faggots already have images showing the final boss and items before anyones even played it. It's fucking gay. They need to go back to only releasing on PC after like 6 months.

Elden Ring hasn't had content update since 2024 and won't be getting anymore ever again and it's still got a daily solid lowest playercount of like 20k players. It's stable as fuck and that's just on PC, most of the playerbase is on console. Jonatron was right to try and get into the souls audience, but he fucked it up by releasing a game with no character creator, forced niggerman to play melee, game balanced/designed around bows and no fucking swords.

You make a fucking game targeting a new audience and you literally shit your pants and wipe it all over your face and don't give that audience anything they would want from the games they usually play. What the fuck were they thinking.

yeah but you normally have to get it from farming 6 mod maps and not dying, there's no way to target-craft it on viable items without making it harder to roll something else.
so the balance is working more as intended: SSF players can't just buy full rarity gear with good enough other mods, and print divs.

>>565129420
items being worse overall lowers the standard of what you see as a good item. getting my gear to the point where I can sustain 6-mod t15s while dong all the extra content is a whole extra endgame step.

also divs aren't even useful in SSF so there is no self-imposed pressure to use them as a fixed metric of how fast you are farming. it becomes more about getting a dopamine hit from the next item upgrade.

rarity is something I add as much of as I can without sacrificing that feels more important, not something I feel like I need to have 150% of, it's more fun.

pvp and coop, the game is literally built around it

everyone saying fromsofts/souls games are single player is fucking retarded. The entire core unique draw of the game is the async multiplayer and the sidegrad item system where rather than a small pool of 'endgame' items existing, every single item in the game is viable in combat and in pvp meaning you run into a player and they have all manner of strange weapon pairings and spells and builds going and you basically fight other players with your friends/hunt down people cooping as an invader

No because there's a point where engaging with playercount too much means you're in full slop territory and you lose the playerbase you want and gain one you don't want

Fromsoft makes dark fantasy arpg games just like GGG and they have a level of success GGG could be tapping into as there is some crossover with the playerbase, but GGG completely fucking dropped the ball with PoE2, it made bad soulslike mechanics and took none of the good things people like about froms games.

Souls gamers like character creators and feeling like they make their own little roleplays. You get locked in genders/models instead.
Souls gamers like finely crafted level design with shortcuts and puzzle aha moments and areas you can't access and then figure your way out there. PoE you just get random gen maze sprawl with no rhyme or reason.
Souls gamers like combat where its fast and heavy but not spammy. PoE2 has slower melee than elden ring and feels less powrful, but then also gets more spammy and crap feeling later.
Souls gamers like item system that means anything they find is useable or interesting, every weapon is distinct. PoE every item is a stat stick and there is just a best hammer, a best bow etc that make the others invalid.

Johnathan should never have catered to souls games if they were going to half ass it and not give them anything they want and instead just ruined the poe formula in poe2. Either do it properly or dont bother

This is the opposite of souls games where the base weapon types are a level agnostic thing and can all be taken to the end of the game if you like how they function, but that also means each item is far more distinct because of that, not just more damage, they are different lengths, hitbox shapes, even defensive stats since you can technically block with weapons

they gave souls fans nothing they like from their games in poe2 and thought they'd hang around and instead just made poe2 sloprollsoulswannabe game

act 5 takes place in oriath while this is clearly in the endgame you can literally see the burning monolith

act 5 ain't happening lil gups
due to the short length of act 6, act 5 has to be paired with act 6 (otherwise a new interlude act will need to be made which is dumb)
they are saving act 5+6 for 1.0, putting it in the game any earlier risks weakening the 1.0 launch

no thats not what happens they amass a army of all the people of wraeclast for a siege

>siege meaning
A siege is a military or police operation involving the surrounding of a fortified place to force surrender by blocking supplies and conducting sustained attacks

whats the cutscene? walls fortifying a region, now i could be wrong but thats what it looks like is happening then you go to oriath after they group up, then whatever happens there you have the
Act 6 boss fight at the centre of the burning monolith thing? maybe? it will be interesting to see but thats my theory so far

that's placeholder shit you dip
act V is oriath proper, you go there immediately to chase after oriana minus the reddit army
also tavakai dies in the real campaign

act VI is chasing after lumerius (THE big bad of POE2) after he absorbs the beast. at some point you recruit innocence to help out. campaign ends with lumeriusbeast getting raped and his death explodes the world, leading to endgame.

why do you retards care about the campaign enough to argue about it

>>565143406
Whatever suits your tree, scarabs, character build capability, etc.
I just look for more maps since that's all I use them for, printing 8mods.

There's also secret dextral/sinistral tech.
For example if you want scarabs, theres 5 scarab affixes; afflicitng (60%) volatile (53%) of marking (36%) of miring (35%) and of transience (35%).
So the minmax on prefixes with sinistral is 226%, the minmax on suffixes with dextral is 212%.

Just marathoned D4 to torment 8 and I'm almost done with the season journey. Lilith is...le good and is the only godlike figure in the universe who actually cares about humanity. Heaven actually wants all humans to kill themselves (this is explicitly stated.)

Warlock is shittiest shit. Will never touch again after this season. Endgame loop is fine. You basically just do whatever warplan says and hope it doesn't force you to do an infernal horde which actually takes time. Dad gamers are going to absolutely love it since you no longer have to even look at the map to find something to do.

D4 won the cazzy market. PoE 1 won the good game market. PoE 2 won the brown RMT market. TLI won the white RMT market. Everyone else functionally lost.

I think you misunderstand what power creep means a little bit. Power creep is specifically the phenomenom of player power going up and the game racing up to match it.
When people complain about power creep, they're not isolating player power, they're saying they're bothered by how all power levels went up, usually as a consequence of increasing player power too much.
That's why the fearer scarab is actually a textbook example of power creep. If the game balance wasn't sort of retarded there'd be no need for that.

I don't think any extreme measures are needed but it's definitely apparently in how so much content just gets wafflestomped through the drain by any build that invested like 50 div now
>>
>>565021360
Surely it has to be a 5 alarm fire in the bushland NZ right now right? D4 expansion is being very well received, maybe fatty can finally stop releasing content at a snails pace already and get PoE 2 completed already lets go Jon stop eating the cheetos and get your code monkeys back to work.

They're right though. PoE2 character models aren't it's strong point, the armour designs and things are nice but compared to D4 everything is definitely more 'blocky' and less kinda depth to it.

After D4 winning this hard if PoE2 rolls around end of may with no new act, characters or items it's going to be a bloodbath.

What the fuck has been taking them so long to add the rest of the melee stuff to the game. They have spent like 2 majora's masks amount of dev time since EA and still nothing. The models are there we know they are they're in the game.
>>
>>565178964
GGG want to do sword combat and melee right. They were pressured to release early by Tencent, Warrior was literally thrown in, Melee wasn't truly ready yet.
They are partnering with the wukong developer with Tencent to completely overhaul and make a brand new combat and hitbox system and the game is going to be massively different/better for melee once it's done. All the improves to bows will look like nothing compared to what's coming for PoE.

PoE2 looks great, looks are probably the thing it has most going for it. It is crazy how good it looks. I'm not sure what they've done to make everything look great, it all looks real sharp. I assume there's new lighting and maybe they switched to physical based lighting but idk. The animations are ok but it feels like one of those things devs care about more and it underpins broader problems elsewhere

Does adding a little bit of armor make a noticeable difference in survivability for an evasion based character? I'm trying to decide if I want to trade out my evasion gloves with good life stats to a hybrid base that gives a good chunk of armor but worse life rolls
>>
>>565200398
armor is dogshit going hybrid armor/eva is more dogshit just stack one type of defense
>>
>>565200398
Yes but you have to be mindful of the armour formula. Adding 200 armour isn't doing shit in t16 maps, because monster hits are larger and 200 armour won't meaningfully mitigate them. But if you can add a few thousand, that's not negligible, because a few thousand will do something against three-digit hits.
Based on what you described, it sounds like you don't have huge armour overall, so I would opt for more life. But you could make a pivot to a more hybrid char if you can take some increased armour somewhere, and run granite flask+increased armour % suffix, and some mixed eva/armour pieces.
Btw, to make armour work better, it's important to add phys taken as chest/helmet implicit, endurance charges, and increased PDR or general damage reduction somewhere. Things like that make armour do more work. Raw armour is much weaker than armour with other layers.
