Thats another thing too. Like what are they are doing all this farming for divs and mirrors, like WTF for? They are DEFINITELY not using 1000 divines and 10 mirrors even if they built another 5 characters and equipped them with the best of the best. which you know the vast majority of them wont. Even if you RMT the shit last time I checked a div is like .30c? So all that farming for days and days and you make $500, $1000?
Dunno about this league since it's garbage and quitting at the start of act 3 is the best decision I could have made, but Fubgun easily had 4-5 mirrors in his LA build in 0.3. If you have more mirrors than you know what to do with you can always use them for their actual purpose too.

Economy is just fine. Shit that was a div before still is a div. Shit that was 45 div before is still 45 div. Exalts inflated, yeah, but thats because they really have no use but that happens in every league anyway 3-4 weeks in.

The Vaal farming shit is really a few people that literally play POE for a living and have the fucking time to do so anyway. Even with the stupid Exploit, which is gone now anyway, it still took shit loads of time to set that shit up for those mad profits.


But the economy is not fine. When I started playing ~10 days ago I was looking at Uul-netol gem and it was 3 div. by the time I got to maps it was 7 divs. by the time I had 7 divs it's 23. I look at an upgrade today, go to sleep, wake up in the morning and it's 30% more expensive.

That's normal PoE (both 1 and 2) behavior. Happened to me with multiple items in the current PoE1 league -- Svalinn was consistently 5-10 div more than I could manage to farm, Perfect Forest Tiger went from 20 to 45 in the space of an afternoon and has stayed there ever since, Impossible Escape (MoM) spiked so high that I had to completely rework my tree to use a different location, etc. Same shit happened in PoE 0.3 with a couple items too. All it takes is one streamer with a moderate size audience to decide to use a particular item and you're fucked.

It's even more fun when some asshole at GGG decides to choose what you're playing for a featured build video on the official channel, like what they did with Last Lament in 0.3 before nerfing it into the ground for this league.

I've always hated leveling warrior. Found a totem build to try and the guy recommended changing to Volcanic Fissure at like 22 and it's so much more fun than the stupid rolling slam shit you have to do to level warriors. I changed to the cluster grenade crossbow totem build at 52 and it just annihilates screens. Rolling through the interlude at a record pace for me with one button.

There is at least a mirror to that when you're off the beaten path a bit and your stuff is cheap. Playing league to league stuff does fall in and out of favor.

It's not much comfort in the moment when your plans just got lit on fire though.

Yeah warrior starting skills fucking blow. They are good to roll as a second character. When you have enough currency to keep him equipped with a good weapon and some armor. But once the Warrior starts ramping at around act 2-3, hes super powerful and damn near indestructible with his titan ascendancy and armor stacking. I tried to league start with him in this league and gave up, lol, rolled a druid. So much more fun and more powerful in the beginning game. But now im beginning to get my warrior leveled up.

It's a game, not a job. If the things I want are getting further away with my available play time, I'll just stop playing (just like everyone else). Fubgun & Mathil can build a dick out of those mirrors and ride it in the sunset.

0.4.0c Hotfix 12​


  • Temporarily disabled Holten Vaal Beacons generating Energized Crystals. This will be fixed in a more permanent way later.
  • Map Areas now grant additional Energized Crystals, scaling with Map Tier and number of Modifiers. This results in double the number of temple runs you can do when using 6-mod Tier 15 maps.
  • Temple Monster Effectiveness now scales with temple level just like how monsters in Maps do. This results in 40% higher drops and monster life at temple level 80. Just like in Maps, this doesn't affect unique monsters.

You will never have the chase items when you play this shit part time a few hours a day. Unless you get extremely lucky. My advice to you is if you play this shit casual, play casual builds, plenty of them to be had without the chase items. People have been doing this in POE and POE2 for years. Its called SSF/SSF HC. And if you cant well then there is always the RMT way. Jut buy some fucking coins. They are cheap, like $25 will let you play whatever the fuck you want. You have casual games too like Diablo 4. Where you can play whatever the fuck you want with little playtime. But that game is considered dogshit because its boring, because of that same reason, so now you want to turn this game into Diablo 4?

I guess you didn't notice I never said they should change anything, I just said I can't keep up this time so it's no fun to keep playing.

Suggesting RMT in defense of a currency streamer is pretty funny.

Game has been completely unplayable for me since 0.4. I can play for about 30 or minutes before I start getting huge MS spikes every few seconds which cause massive stuttering/freezing. The only fix I’ve been able to find is use a VPN, which hasn’t even worked for some people. I’m petty and don’t want to use a VPN, I want them to fix their freaking game.

That shit was happening to me in POE1 but not 2. Huge lag spikes out of nowhere. Testing my network connection to various other nodes agnostic to GGG showed that I was fine so it was probably processing via their end.

For some reason it doesn't happen in poe 2.

Try switching to a different US DC. One of my US gaming buddies has an issue with Texas DC, switched to Washington DC, no more issues (he is in Baton Rogue LA) I see them occasionally but switching, even to a different zone in the game clears it up for me ( I am in TX). Surely they have some synthentic benches at their DCs that are replicating the experience, a load balancer or particular cluster/piece of infra that is having issues.

I’ll give it a try this weekend. Thanks
