Some of these abyss are crazy. Had one in act 2, summoned two big yellow guys, that just spammed homing meteors and lighting storms constantly.

DO we have any solid info on how the abysal bones 'overwrite' mods? i have a four mod helmet and i kind of want to drop a bone on it, but i don't want to loose a mod. i can exalt to add a mod. my assumption was that you can add anytime you could exalt, without losing the mod but i'm not sure.

Act 2 boss can continue to go fuck himself. Takes way too fucking long and if you screw up it's right back to the beginning.
Try and grab something to up your dps in the guild stash if you can......made a huge difference. Granted, I'm playing a pussy ass ranged build this time but it made it pretty easy.

Lightning res helps too but that wasn't an option for me because the game hates me.

Edit: I know I'm behind the blasters, but I will absolutely throw some decent equip in the guild stash if I ever get something good.

Got him down, Abyssal area in Act 3, check it out, get gangbanged, one try only.

You know what, that's okay GGG. I just think there's a fundamental disconnect with the experience you're trying to provide with PoE2 and what I consider to be a good time. Path of Exile 1 is my chill out game where I grind through audiobooks while blasting maps. Path of Exile 2 continues to have no chill.

I'll give it another go in four months.

Yeah they try and shove Abyss down my throat alnost every zone, got annoying real fast. Not only that, but it doesn't even seem optional in a lot of zones because you have no way to move past it.

I'm sure Jonathan has some super intricate reasoning for it but it doesn't make sense to me.

Ugh such a slog starting a new league, not a lot of mats drop to want to gamble on upgrades still.
The sprint feels kinda shitty playing wasd and having to hold down space for it, and can't bind it to something else cause it's also tied to dodge rolling, it would feel better having it on shift instead, but I don't want my dodge roll on shift. So guess I'll just use it on wide open maps and not in narrow corridor stuff.
Dunno why devs look for the most tedious ways to implement stuff.

If there's an empty affix slot, it exalts it, if the item is full, it removes one to make room.

It kinda screwed me because it removed a +76 phys mod on my bow to make room for a +24 phys/40 accuracy :(

So yeah its fun, slower than any other online ARPG, especially the starts. Have not gotten to end game yet but I can say that this game is cool but it needs more. More skills, more supports, more weapons, in general just more build options, more crafting options.... Thats what made POE 1 such a great game is all the fucking options. I dont mind the large zones. I like to explore and slow full clear anyway so it lends itself to be my type of jam. I know people just want to zoom, but im glad that this game is another option.

I will keep playing but I think this game still needs more time to brew. It seems like this update was the Deadeye update, lol.

On act 3 now with bow deadeye, the only thing that's really killed me has been those abyss mobs shooting their green death beam which has gotten me every time I've seen it probably.

Having fun with it. Not played since launch. Playing with crossbow. On act 3. Died 5 times. 1 to act 1 boss, 1 to act 2 boss, 1 to act 3 giant monkey oneshot. Then the first encounter with an abyss beam and trying the 2nd trial. Other than that it's been "fairly" smooth. Using grenades (gas, explosive, oil) and explosive shot now (used frost until I got that). Not using a guide so just going along with what looks good, which tend to brick my builds at mid tier maps. Have resist issues as always, at something like 24, 6 and 60 which at act 3 is taking my HP from 100% to 5% a bit too often.

Think I might need to look for defensive passives on the tree. Only taken damage ones so far.

I have died a bunch. No biggy. Not racing anything. Its only annoying on a big boss, when you are close to killing it and then die, have to start over. Especially some of the ones that take forever. That one giant in act 2, where my lighting rod couldn't hit the boss at all once he moved from starting position, that one sucked dying on, because I was plinking away at it with bow shot. Also I have to learn and see what these bosses do , to figure how how to dodge or mechanic.
