The problem is ‘boss rushing’ feels like hot garbage in this game compared to poe1. The maps are too goddamn big, and the layouts are trash and hard to predict even for a map you’ve done dozens of times. It amounts to a feels bad experience. That’s why despite how fun the classes and abilities...

I miss when bosses had decent dps windows, like shaper with his beam , gave you a chance to do some shit. Now everything is like mechanic mechanic mechanic no breaks

Hm was there a difference between quest arbiter of divinity and the one you needed the core and spark for? I didn’t really notice a difference. The guy is like a from software boss if I fuck up my big hit then I’m just dodging like a maniac for a minute

Yo how do I do uber arbiter fights this league? Arbiter of divinity only pieces im seeing are the ones from the matriarch patriarch citadels

And this is from someone who has over 500 divines and still can’t afford most of the shit I was aiming for to flesh out this build (I mean like a single item let alone all the stuff)

It’s like I’m in a race against inflation to get any items. The currency I have now would have been enough yesterday for the stuff i want to get, and that applies for the previous 5 fucking days. Targeting currency seems like a waste, too many autists have perfected something this league; maybe...

Is there a way to rotate these pathing blocks in the temple like you could do in synthesis?

Dude wtf is up with the billion nodes blocked by the temple quest line. I missed that league and I dunno how the fuck to get to this architect asshole. Game gives me maybe one pathing card at a time and it’s not the right one; who the hell thought this was a good idea?

Meanwhile they added like 35 new emotes. Some are pretty funny at least. I think at this point we have to accept classes are gonna be shit in this game and they don’t have any good class designers, and just enjoy the game for what it does right - world design and old school feel. they don’t...

Oh and the shortcut for atlas completion isn’t really worth it imo. It’s like 6 div per arbiter and you need to do it 5 times- 30 div and that’s assuming you don’t blow some on wipes, which for me is a huge assumption. I wish there was a way to go back and practice the quest one

It’s like they went in the polar opposite extreme from the previous aimless endgame. Now There’s too much to do. Kind of makes it a mixed bag for me. I’m having fun but I’m used to say , in poe1, completing atlas and getting all my waystones then taking a pause to fuck around switch builds try...

They need to be realistic about release schedule. This is crazy , with their team size it will take months PER class to get it right, you never get it right the first time and most of the time you have to go entirely back to the start, when you are doing such fundamental changes like this. This...

Not sure when they made this change but you can see which trial piece will be the reward at the end which makes going after the final boss much easier

Trial of chaos is great imo. Way easier and don’t have to constantly dodge a bunch mechanics if you’re a non es player. I avg about a div of stuff per run which takes me around 7-8 minutes, not the greatest but it’s chill and hopefullly I get an adorned at some point.

Is every mechanic with arbiter a one shot? That shit is so unforgiving . I kept slightly overshooting dodge and if you’re even at the slightest border with the outside ring you lose. And the ones with the fire beams forget it , no chance for me. Finally beat it just from pure rng he went to some...

It’s really on Shawn and one thing I haven’t been impressed with is how much Shawn has been happy to make excuses or even potshots for nick’s role in the delay or various issues in the game. I’m not saying he’s wrong in the things he pointed out, but as the lead he should take ownership of the...

Damn when did this game get so fun?! Lvl 84 or 85 now and I haven’t done anything, not even made it far into that fortress area yet. And oh there are so many good builds this league, I’m playing this sniper shot bleed build that is 100% gonna get nerfed , basically one tapping t14 bosses in...

From what I’ve gathered from lots of streams and some devs besides Shawn too is that Nick accomplished far far less than Shawn thought he was doing, and Shawn, not really being a project manager as his primary skill, didn’t realize this until very late into development. The post until October...

Freezing + shatter explosions are so satisfying. Just can’t figure out why sometimes my frag round does hardly any damage on frozen mobs, and other items can do like nearly half a unique mobs health.

There’s an unfortunate mixture currently of inconvenience/annoyance coupled with a lack of danger. These things are subjective but I’m hearing versions of this from a lot of folks. They are in between mechanics changes and expect the game to get harder in the near future. As far as gate...

I never run the campaign more than once a league is probably why this doesn’t bother me as much. It’s definitely slower than poe1 campaign but feels more fun for me. Talking just about league start. My main pain points in starting the league are the godawful ascendancy options, esp the sekhema...

What’s wrong with me? I’ve been enjoying the campaign , I think the boss fights are fun, esp the end of act ones. What do people hate about the campaign so much?

You talking about ssf? Would be crazy to blow your own ex this early in league, can currently get build enabling items for a regal or ex fairly regularly

Also more advanced question for the real poe2 autists out there - is there a good way to scale ignite or bleed for Xbows using the blood magic ascendancy ? There’s some promising sounding blood magic nodes (one of them takes your life flask charges and gives you physical bonus instead; another...

Anyone have experience with cross bows? I made a build blind and having fun, but can already see boss dps is gonna be an issue. I use permafrost bolts to freeze and then frag to blow up the freeze. Main issue is dps is lacking esp on bosses but to some degree rares. It may just be a gear thing...

Except there’s earthquakes that give zero fucks about people’s recording of spawn windows. It’s a good thing they did to shake things up. Was an earthquake last night just before closed beta ended which resulted in a mad rush by a buncha guilds and a complete shit show + petitions at one of the...

I can see why trump made fun of those guys ears those are really hard to ignore, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it irl

This is a first iteration, I know they want to make class gameplay engaging without any of the spaminess inherent in today’s MMOs, and I’m sure they know they’re dealing with aging gamers here, so I’d expect things to be tweaked down if they veer at all towards reflex driven or button mashing...

I wonder did the expedition thing kind of poof with Nick

They’ve kinda silently transitioned from game development to online digital ship builder and seller. It’s a novel and apparently burgeoning industry. You can log in and board and in some cases fly your ship. It’s not a game but there is a ship simulator that seems to be good enuf for a lot of folks.

What I don’t understand is can’t you literally just use ai to make char models with some prompting, that would be better. Like draw something decent and then tell Claude go turn this into a 3d model in blender and add some animations too

Most creators focus on a small set of potential builds. Most builds I’ve played thru to endgame have not had creator builds for them atleast not super similarly. But I tried to use it in a ‘come up with a build that uses this unique with this other unique’ and it failed pretty miserably.

Just curious has anyone checked LLMs lately for build tips? I tried it a year or so ago and was terrible, maybe better now.

Leisure suit Larry in vr with an ai operated flashlight attachment

While I agree the character designs are atrocious; I doubt it was politically motivated. Well atleast not from Shawn who is a conservative, and Nick was an open trump supporter. It’s possible whoever did the art assets is some fag and Shawn hasn’t had the headspace yet to deal with it. Either...

I like the general scheme they went with for that Spellblade style but not sold yet on the actual effects. It’s promising though as it provides a good backdrop they can now tweak. Interested more so now to see what they do with other classes. Spellblade had the almost unique position of no clear...

Pantheon or star citizen which will ‘full releasem’ first?

That’s like the literal opposite of what I’ve heard from everyone else , not just here but people that have played the game recently.

Wonder how much ai has helped them in creating art for their new areas. I have much higher expectations nowadays as creating new environments should require a lot less manpower now as you can chug out art assets with ai. Would be very disapppinted if I see a lot of repetitive layouts /terrains

The campaign is more serviceable now that they removed the repeating content? Or does it still feel repetitive at the extra part before maps?
