The ssf portion of this game still remains leagues worse then 1 at the lower levels. In order to fix it they would have to radically change how you interact with loot. I think the "tier" change was a step in the right direction. I also like how bases are valued more in poe2. At the very high end the crafting gets much better and the SSF kinda starts catching up to 1s, but until you start getting omens and perfects, metas and abyss, you rely on way to many cumbersome systems, like picking up every white and blue item in your preferred build template and id'ing, sorting and more importantly, inventory space. I like the idea where all your currency is held in a separate inventory, whether limited or tied to your stash (probably limited to a stack for each currency). Then your tetris inventory is just used for items. A TP like spell (2-3 second cast) would teleport all your inventory to a dump tab. You could go back and ID it and sorted in much larger batches.

I'd also change the vendor system to refresh every map, campaign and end game.

So my much more experienced buddy showed me that when you have affinities set up (I did) you can just CTRL-left click on things from your inventory to have it moved to your stash, If you have a "dump tab" established, you can ctrl-click and it will fill up without the need to manually drag things over. I had been doing things the very hard way myself for 3+ patches.

I have spent a fair (i.e. a lot, I have all of the specialty/dedicated tabs, including Currency, Gems, Essences, Uniques, Waystones, Flasks, etc,l) amount on stash tabs.

I'm a fucking idiot, I kept randomly dieing for the past 2 days since switching to CI and was getting very annoyed with the build ( and the game ) until after one death I noticed "gogutwo has killed himself". I had that fucking mana pot equipped for god knows how long but since I don't usually have mana issues, I didn't notice. Haven't died once since I removed it :)

I also tried to craft myself a +2 high ES focus, failed 3 fractures (33% chance) and went back to farming.

not play currently, so only have a very basic idea of this league, but breaking games are always interesting

I wouldn't even call that particularly unusual for PoE. Resetting campaign zones to farm a particular league mechanic has been a staple of the game since basically forever.

Temples are rewarding enough though that being able to set up a near-perfect chain of good rooms is pretty strong though. Not sure it's worth making a new character to do it, but if you were rerolling anyway then yea.

If you don't want to make a new character you can group with someone low enough level for altars to still spawn in a convenient location and reset from there. Fub was doing it on stream last night.



Pretty quick.
