Only boss in act 4 that pissed me off was the prisoner who healed if you got hit by his blood aids. Also fuck that whole prison level with the bullshit water that slowed you down. Yes, it looks cool and I'm sure the devs are proud, but that's when you need a project manager that can step in and say "does the cool factor out weight the gaming experience?"

Yeah that zone was cool LOOKING, but wasn't super fun to play through.......hoping I didn't miss any extra quest shit so I don't have to go back there.

Am at the final interlude now so I should finish today or tomorrow, though will likely go back and get all the stuff I missed side quests and such.

Anyone doing maps, is it any better than last season or pretty much morr of the same, now with Abyss?

what i found annoying about it, was that almost all of the thicc water that slowed me down, there were no foes, so it was an EXTRA slow hallway.

an amusing side effect of the merchant tabs (vs sale tabs) is that if i put something at a low price on classic sellin tabs, i get like 30tells and remove it, research the price, and put it up again.

if i price it wrong on merchant, it just sells immediately, but 46 people teliport into my base one by one, with their pet baboons and zombies moaning and screeching. burning auras, and stupid vanity micro wings putting disco lights everywhere. all in like 45 seconds.

I'm sure others had this thought but what if you built a little maze out of your hideout, hid your stash, etc. and used the new system to price check like it was the old system. You put something in your merchant tab that you're not super sure of the price for and then wait to see if a parade manifests in your hideout. The maze then gives you enough time to pull the item back out of the tab.

What an incredible evolution of an "Auction House"

What's going to happen is someone is going to use it to troll or otherwise generate views, get banned and then anyone that panic pulls an item will be threatened by an angry blue balled buyer.

They could just... ya know... put a bidding system in.

You know, baby steps for GGG. They just cannot commit fully...Yet. I dont fucking understand why you have to visit anywhere in the first place. Just pay the fee and the shit just transfers right to your stash. Like why are we paying a fee anyways if we have to hoof it to hideouts to trade anyway?

Well, that was pretty easy, lol. I can stop feeling like a bitch and get on with the campaign. At least for awhile until I get triggered by something else stupid.

That you can't use the market right away is weird by itself. If you compare it to other games imagine not being able to go buy a lesser magic wand at Ironforge until you were ten hours in. Want to turn some basic mats in to early cash? No sir.

That one bitch toward the end of act 3, you know the poison bitch surrounded by guards? That was the hardest for me at least. Im a boomer so my flexes are not like they were. Prob died like 20+ times before I got her ass. Kept on running out of heal juice. But I got the perfect run in the end and it felt good. Rest of the bosses were not bad.

Yeah that is pretty stupid. I had some coins to spend in end of act 1 and I thought, hey lets use that auction house. Nope. I dont understand the logic there unless they just want people to struggle buss through acts 1-3. Because THATS the way they intended it to play.

Come to think its because its tied to having your hideout/sales bitch which you get act 4.

Might be overwhelming to new players. I've met some players that I would consider otherwise smart and motivated complain the perceived learning curve in PoE2. 2, not 1.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it might be GGG's reasoning for restricting access initially.

yea but you can still use tabs to just sell things to players. where you put it in your bank in the tab marked "1 ex", they send you a tell. you gate, go to your hideout. get it out of the box. put it in the trade window hit trade. all of that still works. it's not at all like briefly playing self found. it's just a retarded lack of the trade market for no raisin for new people who do not know the arcane method of sell/buy.

these guys may be on a reinvent the wheel level of japaneese console devs.
