How is your leaguestarter going?

I started Martial Artist Bells and its kind of mid. Bosses take 30 seconds to a minute instead of insta killing them like most builds but I am fairly tanky with a huge ES pool that recharges constantly.I might swap to a power charge spammer build.

yea, bonestorm all the way. you want to use living lightning on it, to proc the puncture/wahtever stacks, and youll need to socket your weapon with damage to lightning (storm rune) to proc the little guys
youll also want to make good use of weapon sets... id look for a guide if you arent sure whats what

Mobs double their HP for every player in the party, loot doesn't double and some mechanics like freeze depend on enemy HP, so it becomes harder to freeze them, in turn, some skills require you to freeze enemies which is now harder, many such examples.
Not to mention that of course tankier mobs effectively end up doing more damage because you can't kill them as fast.

The way challenges are in PoE2 right now is how they always should have been in Poo1 by the way. "Play the game your way and engage with the new league mechanic a bit". No more "Do ritual, ok now respec and do strongboxes, ok now respec and do temples, etc." That shit was gay and retarded and if you liked it you're also gay and retarded.

At this point d4 is unironically funner than poe2 by miles. Their content is nothing stellar but it's polished and steady. Meanwhile Jonathan is shitting all over his yachts while tencent mostly runs shit and shifts resources to mtx.

steam overlay sure but nothing crazy, and you can disable it if you want in steam
if your game ran like dogshit with the overlay, it's very likely it'll run like dogshit without it
on the other hand, it's the update process the one that is straight up better on the launcher
for some goddamn unholy reason, steam patching takes ten times what it should compared to the launcher

I don't want to fix item problems in the acts. I never have to do that in POE1 and if I do I use the bench or vendor recipes. Don't make me rely on looting shit to go through the acts easier. The game should be tuned to be mostly easy assuming absolutely awful luck.

the idea is that poe2 trains you to craft during the tutoral. but if you feel the campaign should be mostly a running simulator until you reach endgame better to go back to poe1.
it's not really the same as poe2 being "hard" though.
>>
>>568826524
instead of attacks using your weapon for dmg, they will instead just have a set base damage based on the skill level (just like spells do)
you basically opt out of having to upgrade your weapon every act, it's perfect for leveling

I really feel like just dropping the game. It just keeps spamming these mobs that freeze me with a single attack. This is my seventh character and I’ve never had any trouble with this boss.

It literally doesn’t matter. You could kill her with negative cold resistance before. Now she just spams these enemies and loads of attacks. She also enters the invulnerability phase more often.

Campaign movement is much better now that 100% of builds use weapon swap talisman + pounce. There is still zero balance in the game whatsoever so one build that's just as convoluted an MMO rotation as another will do 100x the damage at endgame. I can't speak to endgame content itself as I'm slow roll enjoying martial artist. My autist brain is enjoying hitting the bells for power charges and then using my spender skills.

>>568831267
For whatever reason third worldies think ARPGs are high skill games and that copying a build and swiping a credit card to put the build together means you are a high skill player.

Yeah PoE 2's atlas is still a bummer. It needed more than some tutorials.
It just feels fundamentally off.
Enemies all being random ruins the fantasy of it being a world. Every good map is the same: a mess of random shit crammed together. Every bad map is also the same: a mess of random shit, but you hate yourself. PoE 1's Atlas was also this but it had no pretense of "exploration". It was about farming the same maps over and over, so the randomness helped break up monotony. Here the randomness compounds with the lack of choice of map to create monotony. If maps were more hand-crafted there'd be far more variance on top of it feeling like an actual world. They could also pair easier / higher-reward enemies with the worst layouts.
And waystones suck.
They add nothing except the tedium of using them and annoying modifiers. It's like a zombie husk of PoE 1's system forced onto PoE 2 just to give a purpose to the map tab. Otherwise there's no reason for ilevel to not be unlocked and then applied automatically ie masters.

Not weapon swap since it's instantaneous in PoE 2 but in your 2nd weapon set you use a talisman so you can use the pounce skill to quickly dash. It has a cooldown but it makes the game a million times smoother to play early on.

I might be late to the party but if any anon is playing bear I can't recommend the new unique talisman enough. It's 1c for like 500-600 pdps and fist of war for free + big global armour % inc. You can link with Fow3 if you want to and it bypasses the cooldown, ignore what the gem says. Stampede doesn't snapshot, every second stomp is ancestrally boosted. The only issue is the slow base attack speed but it doesn't really matter for stampede apart from the startup.

With the changes to Act 3, Act 3 and 1 are the good acts. Cool and cohesive theme/identity + a good amount of variety. Spending the first part of the act 3 in the ruins of the Vaal empire and then going back to see it in its glory is just fundamentally a great concept for an ARPG act.
Act 2 isn't awful but was created like 10 years ago so naturally it feels like PoE 1.5.
Act 4 has too many reused or lame enemies (the coconut crabs are literally just reappropriated MTX) and feels rushed and unfinished.

Because of the insane discrepancy between risk, fun, and reward that this game has had since release making doing combos a terrible concept, for some reason bows and spears for all the combos lacking clunk or friction with game mechanics

>Monk has a few cool combos that aren't spender generator things like using Bell with an ele skill and tempest flurry
>All the strong and fun combos involving things like ice crystals got removed because they were both OP and not GGG approved
>For some reason freeze + snipe, which skips bosses entirely, is allowed to stay
>Twister exists, despite involving a significantly lengthier and worse combo than snipe

I have many reasons to hate combos. Playing druid outside of plants, which is slow as hell, should be enough to make you hate combos as well until you get to the point you can one button clear

I tried LS with this build and it was really underwhelming. Quit when it took me 30 minutes to kill a boss that was constantly teleporting around and I could never land my stupid single target mines. Even the aoe damage didn't feel that great, I don't know how the skill was ever great. I'm really sad I couldn't play when it first came out. Hope they let it be good again some day I really wanted to play it.

They added a blinking dot to the microtransactions button that won't go away until you look at all the new microtransactions. I think at this point nobody should be surprised that the game balance is being affected by Tencent's ideals as well. They'll never make the game slower or melee better because what makes money is screenwriter explosion power fantasy.

diablo 2 is chris's favorite game ever and involves defeating a primal evil gigasatan.

The real trick to easily beating Geonor is just equipping a shield; this league I'm playing a meme build that needs like 20 points of early travel, so my Act 1 damage was atrocious, and even then the moment you put on an Active Block shield the entire fight is just instantly trivialized.
Did you know you can block the requiem on high moon beams now? and not only do you not take any damage, you also don't get frozen AND they don't do any Heavy Stun build-up. In the poetry phase you can just kill as many wolves as you can and reactively block when geonor leaps out, even if your positioning sucks and you can't dodge him, you only take like 30% heavy stun from the charge.

People were refusing to block and parry so much that GGG relentlessly buffed the mechanic over and over to the point it's genuinely brainless now

Hi, I am Jonathan Rogers, Game Director here at Grinding Gear Games. You probably noticed fuck all works this time around but that's fine as it's not even version 1.0 yet. If something works partially it's a god damn miracle and it it works as intended we struck gold with Claude code RNG. Stay tuned for more updates on bringing the build planner into a not dogshit state in the near but distant future...

13 hours /played and just one more interlude (3) to go. Will finish tomorrow and onto maps. Even aside from it being a new league and even taking out the league zones, I don't think they materially sped up the campaign at all.

All the skills are so weak and slow. You have to press so many buttons for these dogshit combos because skills are intentionally designed to be worthless on their own. The maps are massive for no reason. Leveling takes too long. Nothing drops so you can't upgrade. Every build that isn't a caster is terrible because you can't get good gear. I can't justify enduring this for another 20+ hours to get to maps. Even my worst ever starter on poe1 never felt this bad.
>>
>>568845854
well, there is a way to play through the campaign quick and easily, but there are a million traps that exist to punish you for not studying the game for hundreds of hours
>>
this game was meant to be played as a co-op hardcore only game, where death is consequential so even if you delete the map with 3 buttons if you die it's ogre and it adds to the story of your characters and the kino parameter. Games are meant to entertain and for escapism rather than to let you win because your uncle and dad gangbanged your bussy every friday night

Autists refuse to let them end support for poe1 and ggg isn't big enough to support 2 games

In poe1 it's really only a small handful of builds that needed you to wait until maps to swap. Every poe2 build I've read basically says that you have to play completely unrelated skills with a ton of bloat and jank until you get to max level to swap. It's like their #1 core fundamental priority in game development is to make the campaign absolute misery above all else. Why are they like this? Are they so delusional that they think "oh once our players get through the worst gaming experience in an arpg they will really like the game in maps!"?

thats what a "league starter" used to mean and the early to mid poe 1 balance philosophy is what led to its long term growth. We can see what happens to poe 1 when they cater to the vampire survivor crowd who just wants to do the same thing from the first minute to the last (start with build skill, play only one map, player retention falls off a clfif like in Mirage)

I'm not even going to argue because I don't take this game as seriously as numbers autists like to, when I take a game seriously its usually to get a high rank in a pvp game. The fun part for me is using cool classes and chasing rare items. I let the numbers autists do their thing and build a guide, I get to act 1 boss with the best gear I could get to that point, and I'm hitting him for 50 damage a spell and running out of mana pots in phase 1 with whirlwind twister. If your dogshit game needs me to absolute minmax in the first act of the game to squeeze an fun out of it, it's just objectively a dogshit game.

people also don't realize that the playerbase is about 60-40 split between steam and the stand alone, and based on numbers from many games that we do have, steam's daily peak can generally be extrapolated to about 10% of the total players in that time frame. what this means, and of course only GGG knows the actual numbers, is that there are approximately 6.5 million people playing poop2 on this league launch. it's an enormously popular game.

mirage didn't even come to life until you were juicing endgame maps, which is the opposite of what you're suggesting. their highest retention leagues have all been highly interactive during campaign, because there are a huge amount of, I deign to call them this, "people" who just play the campaign every league then quit.

>5 free runeslots for an extra 500 lightning thorns damage straight from level 20
I can only assume you mean Greater Rune of Tithing, which yes, is strong, but no, it's not 100 Lightning Thorns each. They're 1 to 100, which is an average of 50.5, or 252.5 Thorns damage. Although you could equip 10 of them while leveling to actually get your 500 Thorns damage.
The Gloves are also level 27.
The Rune in question are also exclusive to a Unique endgame map.
But yeah, hyperleveling a twink MA sounds fun.

You being wrong is implied in telling you to fuck off and go play the game you seem to want to play instead of being a whiny off-topic faggot here about it, which you would already understand if you weren't a brown 70 IQ D4 subhuman.

>>568851745
I find it hilarious that GGG repeatedly stated that
>They didn't want an exclusively lategame ascendancy or one that was used until players respecced into it
Yet looking at the state of Ritualist, Gemling, Smith, and MA, that's pretty much the only thing they're encouraging when they print out these things. I expect either everything to be buffed to MA's retarded levels of free shit (unlikely) or MA nerfed to hell
>>
ngl GGG is really good at including really small stuff that vets pick up on over time. Stuff like each rune being a part of a recipe so that you can recognize when a rune is skippable or not just at a glance.

They're going to make all new ascendancies broken as shit going forward to try and attract players (back) to the game. It's the typical live service way to do things. PoE's creatively dead, forever.

Having a contextual discussion and using comparisons isn't shitposting. You're just mad that the game isn't perfect and there are examples of things in this game done better. I'm sorry you're mad but you should try to have the maturity to face those issues instead of just yelling at the people noticing them.

Nope never said that, you're creating a strawman and that is why you are so angry because you don't even understand the original comment. If I really thought this game sucked I would be playing something else. But you are so emotionally invested that you can't take even the slightest bit of criticism and that says a lot about you.

Never said that, again you are either just making up strawmen because you are trolling or you have a reading disability. Either way you've lost because you are tard raging. Sorry hope the game gets better in 2.0.

free weekend shitter here
how heavily did the sword transforming wolfman boss get nerfed between poe2 launch and now? I remember seeing streamers struggle desperately against this guy but today I mashed bear slaps against him and he fell over.
Did a lot get nerfed? Is it too late for me to ever be able to say I beat the game?
