Came here looking for confirmation bias and found it. I got to about level 45 with my barbarian and noticed things slowing down substantially. By the time I hit mid-47, it was taking me forever to kill trash mobs and I rage quit in the middle of a dungeon and haven't logged back in since...

To sum up the last several posts, Blizzard is incapable of understanding what "fun" playstyles are like, and so every fucking build in this game has some sort of inherent sad trombone facet that sucks the life out of it. And the resource maintenance in this game is bullshit. Just give us mana...

I didn't like Halls of Torment. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but the pacing of the monsters was too dense at times to where it just felt unfair. The "loot" is pretty sparse, they should have leaned into this facet a lot harder. And the "skills" you get are about as meh as they come. I...

Goddamn - I decided to stop playing until the new season, since I am just going to do the same build, but read the Lilith statues and map clears carry over to seasons. What a boring goddamn task to run around the overworld clicking on statues and exposing corners of the map. It's too goddamn...

Yeah, I would definitely echo a lot of people's comments about EQ. I was lucky that I was 28 when it was released and just got out of a 5 year relationship. She was still a friend and used to complain that my phone was always busy until I finally got cable optical internet lol. I recall...

The barbarian sounds like he was voiced by a hoarse Keanu Reeves. Exact same cadence and stilted pace. It was distracting! Welp, I finished the campaign at level 47 and started working for the damn Tree. That campaign was a SLOG, and I cannot imagine ever wanting to do it again. Is there...

So, hilariously, I swore I wasn't going to get this. Then I had just the most brutal three days at work and said Fuck it. And, first it asked me to update my drivers for my 3080 Ti. Um, ok. Now I cannot get in because it looks like their Subscription Servers have been fucked for a couple of...

Lineage 2. So ridiculous. When Korean grind fests were about the PAIN.

Oh man - I splurged on a high elem DPS bow and followed a vaal ice shot build. Hilarious. A true glass cannon, with 3,100 hps. But the best clear speed I have ever had. Hilariously, once I got to maps I dipped my toe in slowly like I always do, then realized I wanted to fill out my Pantheon...

The last phase can suck my dick. I did one this morning, first two phases area easy peasy, barely even got hit. But doing that memory game while the degen bars float around, and damage flies from everywhere is just fucking stupid. The person who designed Sirus def designed this fight. I...

I've only done her twice before and once was with RF which is REALLY not good because of the degen beams. So she and I don't have a lot of history lol.

Well shit, I've finally managed to do the Elderslayers and the Twisted, not sure I have managed that in the past. I want to do the Maven, but I am in such a good mood right now that I don't want to ruin it with that fucking memory game. I am sitting on two invites, so I suppose I have to do it...

I only stayed because I got rich and bought an expensive bow and amulet for my build making me more powerful than ever before. Otherwise I was out long ago. I'm still sitting on 165 div or so thinking what else I should build.

Best narrator ever returns. I hope this is good, the first holds a special place in my heart, to be sure. I am a cheap old bastard (with too many games to play) so I will be holding off for a while, reading this thread regularly for updates!

One of these days I am going to have to dedicate myself to a full playthrough of this great game. I've installed it on every computer I've bought in the last several years but never got very far.

Either luck, or they changed the drop rate - I personally don't recall seeing a key drop at all to date and I've gotten two this league. They are definitely a novelty and I am unsure what supports their sale price beyond that.

Having this many Div's, I now understand how people go broke after winning the lottery. I did some serious redneck shopping for my build, and damn the prices.

I took @Arbitrary 's advice and sold it for chicks and blow.

Well shit boys, after 3,000 hours of play on Steam, and who knows how many on the launcher since 2013, I actually had a Mirror drop. Complain about dry drops in a league, and apparently you get rewarded. In a Level 77 Grand heist, of all things. I ran out of there without claiming my gem...

Well, one thing that's for sure, with an unrewarding league mechanic comes the dry times. Last league I had 6L's to choose from, about 6 raw Div drops, and even crafted a 6L not too much farther in than we are now. I have 1 Div and only some shit 6L weapon drops. I have ID'd every single...

While what this guy is saying is true, I can't help but be distracted by the caterpillars he seems to have grafted to his face in place of eyebrows. Is he related to Bert or something, albeit having shaved the monobrow into a dualbrow.

I am playing a bow fire-based build, and having added fire damage on any item reduces my DPS substantially. I have had 2 in-use bows get + fire damage in the first node. Annoying AF.

I was thinking about it this morning, and the reason this league is a bust for a normie scrub player like me is because once you have completed your equipment, the league is kinda/sorta done for you. Remember when people went apeshit when you had to use inventory space for NETS? Now in order...

Yeah I was fighting a crucible blue in Act 6 or something and a regular rare mob rolled in. The rare died in a few seconds, while I banged away at the crucible blue mob for another 30 seconds or so lol. I thought that pretty much exemplified the league tuning.

Cannot........let.......go...........of........button...........

Welp, nice to know GGG is always consistent in making the mechanic mobs overtuned so it is needlessly tedious in at least the lower leveling process. I am not sure I was even scratching them on the Coast, but at least wore through them in the Mud Flats. First PoE on my new computer though...

Welp, I did 3 builds to the mid 90's last league, and since poor RS got fucked by the league mechanic I am a little turned off with it at the moment. I DID enjoy Ziz's EA Champ and it was super easy to gear up, so I think I will start that for Crucible. It is very scrub-player accessible...

This is my current favorite. I put about 9 hours into it over the last week or so. The higher levels get a little frustrating, especially at the start, as the mobs tend to gather quickly and soak more damage than you initially put out. Aside from that, I have little complaints. Edit - Belay...

I played about 100 hours of this build late last year. It was a decent no-effort build. I was kaiboshed on the BIS staff, despite farming it for the last 20 hours of my playtime. The problem with long early-access development time is the fact that I burned out on the game and it will be...

It is only going to be cool if you friendly fire kill someone and they drop an ear ala Diablo 1.

15"? Tiny mouse pad area? Knees to sharp. With affection, my man. I gamed on laptops for the last 12+ years, just buying a desktop over Christmas this year.

Yeah, this EA Totem Champ is the tits. No death guardians of all forms, no death Elder, still working towards Shaper and Sirus. I always die in the latter, I hate that damn fight. Also one room from the end of my first T16 Sanctum, so perhaps I can actually finish one finally lol. Definitely...

I had thought about doing Jugg, but with the league mechanic deferred to a build less in your face. I may start next league with the Jugg RF.

Man, I gotta say, last league the Inq RF went smooth as silk, but this league it wasn't so good. But this EA Totem Champ is pretty simple. +1/+2 6L bows are cheap as shit, and I even lucked into a +1 all fire skills amulet as a drop to save some money. With 6 totems, I am clearing T16 with...

This is a man that knows the face of his rage. Respect.

I 100% agree with this. Middle aged Jonas is only shown in one episode with the degradation, and his personality and demeanor have changed dramatically (see his interaction with his mother) with zero transitional explanation. I really liked old Adam, I thought he was a great character, but you...

And this entire conversation is exactly why I will never be a top player in PoE. The thought of running a store in the game is annoying to me. My online play time is limited, and I want to play the game, not trade simulator. I understand that it is, in essence (pun intended) relatively simple...

Since it is still relatively fresh, my take, and no more spoilers since I am like 3 years out now lol: Adam wanted annihilation, Eve wanted preservation, Claudia was the crux between the two. The actions of Adam and Eve continued the knot infinitely, and it took a Claudia breaking from the...
