It is weird that PoE is one of the longest running, most successful live service games and the general is fucking awful and the content creators are all awful. Why is PoE specifically so bad?

This thread is one of the most ruined, terrible schizo-centrals on /vg/ and that is saying something. For a fucking ARPG of all things too.
Combine that with the content creators. They're all lazy bums who put in 0 effort. Every single one of them saw the new build creation feature and the instant response was "Yeah, I'm not doing that" when any other game would have people clamoring for any edge in their audience to do it. The feature will go laughably underused. The worst part is that there is seemingly no room for someone who actually tries. No new content creators came out of PoE2. The few Blizz grifters that tried to join don't get any traction as 'build creators' because they all just steal other builds. Like, LITERALLY it would require people like Ben, Fubgun, Captain Lance, and Jung all deciding to use the build guide feature for any significant number of people to use it.

I mean yeah, it is a useless feature for me. Especially in PoE2, where making a build is braindead easy, but whatever plans they had of people following guides regularly ain't gonna happen. The average PoE content creator is too lazy to even configure a single PoB. They're too lazy to edit them fumbling around in their stash for 2-3 minutes as they look for a random item.

No it isn't. Both skill nodes are completely unusable. Totems unusable. Defense node unusable. Mediocre crit immunity. Mediocre crit node. Meme tier "secret nodes". Meme tier impossible escape node that forces you into taking bad keystones to get any value from it

All to be weaker than blood mage, infernalist, or djinn-bitch for any possible use case.

Oracle legit has one of the highest damaging builds in the game, its just not very usable rn
Strength stacking with the oracle nodes you can POB some truly ridiculous numbers. Issue is you dont need that much damage and you're forced into maces since brutus lead sprinkler was added to the game and is by far the best strength stacking weapon

>>566737943
>Both skill nodes are completely unusable. Totems unusable. Defense node unusable. Mediocre crit immunity
Mostly true, but totems aren't unusuable.

>Mediocre crit node.
It's literal retardation to say that node is mediocre. It's an incredible offensive node every ascendancy other than BM would take if they had it.

>Meme tier "secret nodes".
Wrong again. Those nodes come with incredibly covered stats like CDR, movespeed and scaling vectors like Powerful Casting. On top of that, they provide extra synergy with timeless jewels.

>Meme tier impossible escape node
There's nothing meme about it, it's an incredible efficiency node that lets you take more nodes than other classes can. It also leads to absurd time-lost jewel value, which I'm sure you can't appreciate as you sound like you hate endgame gearing and expensive jewels.

>All to be weaker than blood mage
Bloodmage is ztank and zmobility in comparison, and oracle catches up to BM damage with sufficient budgets (and exceeds it probably).

>infernalist
Kek ok, I'd love to see your "better than Oracle" infernalist pob.

>or djinn-bitch
Not even comparable, has 0 lategame power.

>>566738136
>its just not very usable rn
It's perfectly usable.

> you're forced into maces
You're not forced into shit, put a crown of eyes on. Str stacking literally works for every weapon type.

>>566738735
>the only use case
There's almost no build archetype you can't make on Oracle because it's very point-efficient and comes with cheatcode nodes.
>>

>>
>>566738735
Titan or smith might be overall better for strength stacking but in terms of damage oracle is on a different level. Both the rage nodes, spell damage nodes (with crown of eyes) and the strength nodes just makes it truly absurd, PoB wise

>>566740282
>but people only top those charts if the build is actually good
No, they top it if they have a skill POEninja can read to some degree. If you knew anything about this game, you would know it's physically impossible for a high-end comet pob to have higher DPS than a high-end flicker pob for example, because comet can't even use garukhan's.

>aint no one does it unless it clears as well as CoC comet
Bows clear just fine, wyvern clears just fine, all self-chill builds clear just fine.
You sound like a shitter who got filtered in t11 maps and gave up, and now you think it's because you didn't play CoC.
>>
>>566740625
https://pobb.in/GFqjUBr-0Dv7
you won't physically be able to find a caster build that does more DPS than this, because casters can't use Garukhan's so there's an uncrossable damage gap built in (provided you don't use a bugged interaction).
for the record, this build is NOT configured and POB does not support crucial tech for it, and it already shows a paper 160m. it does billions in reality.
>>
>>566740909
Bows and wyvern clear fine in regular maps, in juiced temples not really. Self chill ill give you tho, that build is busted

Go play PoE1 unironically. I am glad that PoE2's endgame is different. Yeah, the state of it in 0.1-0.4 was like a joke, and I wasn't laughing. However, I cannot honestly believe that there are people who are like:
>Yeah let me blast exclusively dunes in PoE1 for 500 hours a league and then go to PoE2 and blast Nu-Dunes for 500 hours just in time for PoE1 to go back and blast dunes for 500 hours, etc etc etc etc
That is what I do in PoE1. I love Dunes, Silo, Strand, etc. If PoE2 was just that again I'd probably end up quitting one of them entirely.

For me it is IIR and Gem levels. They basically ruin gearing. If a unique/item lacks gem levels (and it is available in that slot) it sucks. If you don't have at least like 100% IIR you're literally trolling.

Once IIR is axed and gem levels are reduced to PoE1 levels of like +2/3 at max, it should hopefully feel better.

I get that, but there's a difference between making a character you find fun then trying to minmax it, vs not giving a fuck and just picking the absolute strongest gem aka full meta. I was looking at poeninja the other day to see what other people were doing with similar builds to mine and it was literally nothing but coc/comet bullshit on every single class every single gem

I remember people glazing GGG before PoE 2 launched for removing added damage to spells and damage effectiveness to spells as it confused new players
Now everyone complains about the simplified system with more gem levels, despite it functionally being the exact same (ignoring the fact that spells are dogpoop in PoE 1 without jiquani or archmage)

Going into PoE 2 the prospect of a "build a skill" system was very interesting, but I'm increasingly confused why support gems are even in the game.

Right now in my Ranger playthrough I'm casting Barrage before every Lightning Rod cast. I never cast one without the other. Effectively they are one skill with two key presses.
... isn't this the sort of thing that the Support Gem system ought to accomplish? Modify lightning rod in a meaningful, interesting way. Support gems instead largely offer straight damage buffs with no apparent change in function, or marginal QoL improvements. Make your main attack deal more damage and that's it (in which case there's a mathematically correct answer for which to use). Or, slightly more interesting I guess: put Increased Duration and Faster Casting in your Orb of Storms so it's less annoying to use.

My point isn't that needing to click two keys is so terrible (though it would be nice not to). I'm just not sure why this system is in the game when all the meaningful skill modification in PoE 2 happens through synergies and conditionals of the skills themselves, and this much-hyped "build a skill" system doesn't do anything like what you hope it would.

Originally the game had it so you could only use a a support gem 1 time across all your skills. It basically meant you had a main skill with all of the good damage supports, a secondary skill with the mediocre/usable ones, and then mediocre/bad "utility" gems in every other slot.

they had a "vision" of poe2 having "meaningful combat" which meant pressing lots of buttons and having a mmo rotation and the gameplay of dark souls
if you watch the skill demonstrations they have in like the .1 reveals they are doing like multiple interactions just to kill a single white mob
everyone told them their ideas were retarded and people would find a way to just press spark
people literally just pressed spark in .1
they tried to nerf it during .1
people still just pressed spark
they tried again in .2 to make combos with amazon in .2
people just pressed lightning arrow
then in .3 they tried again and people just pressed spark, or a curse, or entangle
by .4/.5 they gave up and just accept that their idea of what people want is completely wrong
you can apply the same shit to like 3 dozen of their retarded decisions that they are constantly slowly rolling back

People heard Jonathan say "Having no swords before 1.0 would be crazy!" and thought he was rushing to get them finished.
Instead he recognized it is the #1 thing people want and so it is deliberately being held back for 1.0
>No! They'd release it in 0.5!
Why? The reason they're going to 1.0 next is because the EA has run its course. Everyone who was gonna buy a key bought one. Everyone else got given one. There are still free keys floating around. They need it to go to 1.0 and Swords + Campaign will be advertising it.

Marketing prick.

PoE1 players are going to have to rewire their brains and enjoy what they are doing instead of trying to rush past it to get to the next thing which they also rush past. It is OK to enjoy what you are doing instead of needing the map to be finished in 1 minute and 37 seconds so you can get to the next map.

95% of the """""problems""""" with PoE2 boil down to PoE1 players being autistic spergs that don't like playing the game and want it all to be over with as soon as possible.

It's probably the best feeling skill I've used in poe2, great visuals and a real punch to the hit landing. It was somewhat broken on release, got nerfed, and is still a top tier skill. As the other anon said there are a number of different ways to build it and they all work well.

Nah, the layouts are fucking ass.
THEY LITERALLY ADDED CHECKPOINTS AND FAST TRAVEL TO INDIVIDUAL MAPS. DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW INSANE THAT IS?
They're literally like "Man, our maps are so fucking big that players are gonna have to warp all the way across them and it just takes too long to walk there"
Not to mention too many of the dumb layouts have inexplicable little bushes, roots, flowers, stone pillars, rocks, or whatever else planted around to perfectly intercept projectiles or stop your movement skills every time.

For me I do not want Strand 2.0 for every map, but make them like 25-33% smaller and they need to make it so that some of these objects lose collision.

You can remove projectile collision from tiny roots and bushes without removing them from the map. You can also make it so perhaps travel/sprint will ignore the collision of those small objects too.

Swords are being deliberately held back for the marketing push for 1.0. They will be revealed at Exilecon and everyone will basedface and pawggers and go crazy and say GGG is the best because duelist looks so cool.

Releasing it in 0.5 will not see a significant return on investment for something that is free marketing. Releasing it in 1.0 will guarantee a lot of people come to try it (For free?! The game is free to play in 1.0?!? I'll have to check it out!!!)

checkpoints were put in maps for bad players, not because of map size.
people were complaining they were dying to map bosses and losing all map content so they put a checkpoint after the final rare mob that you use to go to the boss after clearing.
it doesnt affect good players and had nothing to do with layouts or map size

No, it is actually genuine and 100% correct and your inability to see it is why you do not work in marketing and I do.
The community at large has memed swords too hard. Ironically, caring less about them may have justified their inclusion at some point, but with how badly people want them it will serve as a significant part of Exilecon.

They will show off swords, then do a deep dive into their design with a talk by one of the devs, then go into the art, talk about ascendancies, etc. They basically have a whole easy block of time now. You NEVER give the people what they want until you can make money off of it. We know PoE2's EA isn't selling a bunch of copies anymore and that is fine, they knew it would slow down. 1.0 was always somewhat arbitrary as they said openly it did not require the game to be feature complete, merely campaign complete and acceptable.

You're welcome, marketing does suck and is pretty cynical and shitty. Just saying, they could have had swords in by 0.5 OR could simply extend out the EA. But they won't because it is not financially intelligent.

Also, swords will not just be "a guy slashing" They will obviously have tons of flashy moves and uniques that they're gonna show off. I am also guessing that more shield related attack skills will come with it too and the current unique is them using the shield throw skill they've made for duelist.
