They did some changes from beta to live and the patch is somehow fucking worse. Exe sword nerf was absolutely not needed when the weapon was only barely on par with Halberd, and generally harder to use(needed to actually aim, slower swings for horde, smaller reach). The glaive nerf is kinda bad...

Depends on location/time I think. I've had decent enough results with legend pubs, I wanna say about 50% winrate. Some days it's just terrible though, some days it's good. Champion is like 90% winrate though so there's definitely a big jump. Good thing about fails is as you said, a lot of time...

If you ram you take hull damage, generally if you're within ram range you can just assault instead. I think ramming is only good if you can sink them with it. If you have the big boat you can sink a lot of fuckers in one turn though with the big cannons, but need to grind a lot of pirate...

Oh yeah I know that too, every league I'm like "damn nice new skills, nice reworks, maybe I'll do this or that". And then I make a witch summoner(necromancer since they added ascendencies but even before that I just made summoners). I just like summons and while I think PoE isn't perfect with...

I know it's not bad was just saying, it'd be easier to implement than somehow reworking the whole leveling process so it's faster, and would save a bunch of time while making players feel good about it.

I usually take 2 days to get to maps or whatever, I don't mind it taking slower, I find the leveling interesting enough, I actually ID gear and shit which is horribly inefficient but I know once I get to maps I'll get bored pretty quick anyway. The thing is you can make it really fast if you...

Yeah I checked that out at first when I was trying to respec but didn't like it, I ended up using the mod manager thing someone posted on reddit, along with his first couple of mods, one of them lets you change the game speed with the speed thing(like, not just combat) and the other lets you use...

I'm playing a pure Cipher, Beguiler sub, which only strength is you get a slight focus refund on using CCs on targets that can be affected by sneak attack(basically flanked or any affliction), which is nice to chain charm early on but barely affects shit later on since I start fights with 50...

Yeah I think I'm done with this for a while until they patch shit in into an acceptable state. I was pretty soured after having to use console tricks to fix my character after a basic respec because they somehow didn't QA respecs at all since losing watcher abilities should be a big enough...

The bad spells are for the most part the same as PoE1, so knowing that does help a lot, but yeah there's way too many shitty spells. My pure cipher actually focuses on taking passives because of that which is kinda dumb design. First rank the only spell I have is charm, 2nd rank is Recall...

First season was a lot of money too. I still don't get why it's so expensive however, like what does the money get you. I get sponsoring teams in other games, you pay a relatively low amount of money to pay salary for a bunch of players and their coaches, fly them around and shit, overall it's...

I'll wait to see what the actual bonuses are but yeah that looks pretty shit. That said it's not like I haven't played games doing that before. B&S was the same, initial price, premium membership and cash shop. You could convert gold to cash shop currency(like this one) to buy shit but the...

That's cause Lone Wolf is meant to make it easier though, while this isn't built in. That said this is probably not so bad either and maybe even easier than the first game. I haven't really tested but you can just spam all your summon items and rest between every fight I think? That means as...

They're changing how you gain souls so we'll see.

Found some bow that fires snowballs or some shit, it fires like 3times and then for some reason the snowballs do aoe damage which also hit the same target again, so you basically hit 6times with it. While it does less damage than a normal bow, it still does fucking retarded damage. So now I have...

This post has a bunch of decent info based on all the various websites articles about the league. Put on spoiler tags because I can't seem to just link it without having the whole thing embedded in the page. Notable stuff, you'll get Alva in every map. There's some RNG on which rooms you get...

Yeah casters are slow starters, it was the same in the first game too. That said I assume martial characters will still be the best for pure damage by a large margin. If you want to make a killing machine main character you're better off looking at multiclass melee based damage dealers. I made...

New league sounds nice. Bex confirmed the Incursion stuff doesn't have a loading, so it's like breach where you pop it and start killing a bunch of shit while mapping or leveling, then you collect all your loot at the end instead of having to loot as you go, but the final system actually looks...

Oh and a little trick I figured out for dialogue checks. While the game only gives you a part of what your other characters have as skills for dialogue checks, it rounds up. Which means having 1 gives you 1 regardless. So it's useful to put 1 in everything on your companions, which basically...

I don't believe they've given an exact time, their tweet says "in a little over 24hours" which could be like 30hours really. 5PM EST is the 24hours timeframe though, so expect it around that yeah, could be a few hours later.

Should work out hard to say though haven't been far enough into the game. One cool thing about multiclassing Cipher is it works alright with martial classes since you get a free 20% dmg buff from the soul whip and there's plenty of short cast spells. I don't know if it'd be worth taking Charm...

There was a lot of pretty funny posts on Reddit leading up to the battlepass stuff, but yeah people really had money burning in their pockets waiting for it.

Ship combat looks kinda whatever, I haven't done much of it though, I'm still trying to clear the capital city, shit's so fucking big. At least it got less boring in the district I'm in, lots of combat. I feel I'm gonna have to respec my Cipher soon though, a lot of these spells I picked are a...

You'll definitely be able to, but for a first playthrough it'd be really rough. A lot of what makes these runs doable later down the road is when people figure out where the strong items are, beeline to them, do non combat quests to grind some levels, and then just fuck shit up. But for a first...

I was under the impression that they had NO save back up system and that's why people are bitching about it being gated behing a paywall. And it has the whole phone voice shit, but that's more a problem of them designing controllers without jacks or bluetooth in the console so you can't actually...

Some people really dislike D:OS2 combat and how it works though, it plays very much like a strategy RPG more than a traditional CRPG. I think it's better too, but this one is enjoyable, better than the first one, stuff feels more responsive and you can interupt on purpose and stuff like that...

I think the idea is if you make a Priest MC, then you can have her be a monk for damage, or a monk/priest for some self buffing. If you don't have a priest the whole thing doesn't make much sense however and you might as well just single class priest yeah, that's what I did.

On companions, they are basically worse than mercenaries in almost every case yeah, but that's ok because they're not so bad you can't get stuff done and have cool stories and insight into the dialogues and shit. Some of them also have unique subclasses however. For example Tekehu is a...

Kinda? You could potentially ignore it and still play but some stuff isn't going to make much sense, it is a sequel that lets you import your save game to define the world state so your choices affect stuff in the 2nd game. You could read up on the first one/watch a video and just go from there...

A more readable version btw: They're also updated the fextralife wiki with it but it's kinda slow going and they have some random shit in there fucked up. Also something I made from the various streams, companion locations, minor spoilers obviously:

Shade ult is very good already with the changes to the cooldown a few patches ago. It's actually broken as fuck on beta patch but I assume they'll nerf that back down. I mostly play Shade nowadays and honestly it works fine, but it does help that I can handle hordes on my own and can do bosses...

Ah you were using daggers, then yeah it's fucky as hell against hordes. Daggers are quite frankly, not very good. They do ok armor damage but not great by any mean, the hitbox on the first heavy is fucking retarded when trying to hit a boss moving away from you making it bad for infiltrate a lot...

You need to get used to VT2 hordes more probably, since they act fairly differently than in VT1. I rarely lose health to hordes on shade, and when I do get hit I just lose some temp health(unless obviously I was full, then I lose a bit and fill it with temp health). I often have the most melee...

They went full retard and camped in LGD base trying to take too much shit until Ame rezed normally and that went about as well as you'd expect, plus since everyone on Liquid also had just bought back, they just walked down mid and finished the game. This was purely a bad strategic call, but...

That was a sad as fuck Morphling in that game, he was doing 0damage attacks for like half the game. I guess it turned out shutting him down with shitty Bane who then kept feeding because Bane, was still a good idea because he literally couldn't do anything all game besides wave form and stealing...

The worst part is they often lose a ton of efficiency from staying up for stupid amounts of time and wether or not they "succeed" tends to be pretty RNG due to their lack of attention. Like at some point they're just zombie grinding and will die to random shit all the time. Also you kinda want...

Yeah they fucked up the fix for that, only fixed a minor version of the bug. Been playing the beta build, it's way fucked anyway currently. Huntsman/Shade delete bosses in like 5-10seconds, for some reason they uncapped damage, which is super retarded for these classes(especially since they...

Oh I guess that's possible yeah. I'll see if I watch that tomorrow, I think I remember being annoyed at one of his stream for something else before though, probably spends too much time reading chat while playing which I find really annoying when I'm mostly trying to watch a game being played...

A bunch of other streamers are getting early access too I think in case you want someone else than Carnage. Probably not worth watching too much of this unless you want to skip playing the game though, most of the fun of RPGs is figuring out shit on your own and discovering the story as you go...
