There is shit in expedition that wipes its ass with characters that have hundred mirrors or more worth of gear, don’t feel bad.

If you're going to pop all remnants you really need to read the runes and be aware of which your build can handle or not. If you get a really good remnant reward like an Aldur's saga, its best not to super juice it and just take the good reward. If all your remnant rewards are shitty, then just pop/juice them all and go for pure div drops.

Wtf is the mod in expedition that heals them? I swear sometimes they'll have 3 life bars and then 3 revives. I haven't done the tablets that give 2 extra mods per map but I did the ones that give 1 extra and it gets pretty crazy. I can probably do 2 extra mod tablet maps but that's a lot of money to test out that theory
Also fuck the dev who put that teleport monster affix that you can steal on the HH.

Playing the Earth Shatter Gemling my new pet peeve is terrain can cause it to basically fizzle and since a single tap cast it like 4 times and isn’t killing anything or hitting anything and can wipe out the mana bar. 0.5 has been amazing but man it has a fuck ton of bugs.

The mana drain, quick footed (super speed bug like the one in the reel above but faster), with teleport, life drain? periodic invulnerability? or w/e the fk that one is? I spent literally 5 or 10 minutes soloing it. All for shit ass rewards. The combination of affixes on shit is absolutely broken at times and just not worth it. The next time Im just going to clear the map and just die so I can move on to another map.
Hahahahah, if it really gets to me that much I will just go do something else. It's honestly pretty chill with a video on in the background for the cutscene you can't skip.
Am also looking to get gloves with the raven touched mod since those apparently can sell for a lot. I've only seen it on 2 body armors so far and the best one sold for 5 divs I believe.

I've noticed this with every build I've played this league (djinns, grim pillar totem oracle, glacial bolt gemling). It's like AOE damage sometimes just randomly decides not to register at all.
Rather just farm something else than do a shitty version of abyss because some retard came up with a stupid idea that Jonathan loves.
I feel your pain. I've been clearing all the ultimatums out of my stash tab because I decided the only way I've ever getting a Mageblood this league is by having something like an Adorned drop and then selling it unid. Not sure why I do it to myself, at some rational level I know it's a <1% like every other boss rare drop but I'm sick of doing slow-ass Ritual and rarely even getting decent omens let alone one of the belts.You're not wrong but at this point I am deternined to see the damned thing drop

That's pretty much how I feel about expedition. Delirium and Breach are really the only two I can stand to actually focus on, so of course those are the two that feel the least lucrative when you do them.

Yeah it happens with anything that can be summoned or originates near terrain, mana goes poof but nothing happens, like a fizzle in EQ except this is a bug.
One guy hates abyss, another ritual, another expedition, me I hate that fucking temple. What I like about this league is I can do one thing and set up other things for free. We need more of this imo, so much fun to be able to completely juice maps and it breaks up the monotony. Just ran 30 abyss maps with deli and hit 14 grand mirrors and ran into 6 king of the most and spread out rituals in a bunch of spots, also got 8 simulacrums. So next time I log on, giga juice map day. Some are complaining it’s like tower maps, which it is but this feels better because it’s free and I’m getting it for shit I’m doing naturally.

I'd like temple a lot more if I could place hallways anywhere besides the bottom-most row. My shit's been bugged for almost a month now making it completely unplayable. I don't really like it at the best of times, but it did pay for my first (and by far the best) build almost entirely on its own.
I still don't get htf people level fast anymore though. I went from getting 35-50M xp/hr from 95->96--which is already painfully slow--to getting about 10-15M at 96. Doing basically the same stuff, juicing maps and tablets as much as I possibly can, never dying because djinn sorc is unkillable other than completely insane stuff like that fubgun video above, etc.

The loop is in a really good spot. You can do no investment boss rush tablet farm and make a shit ton, or you can giga juice and make a fuck ton.
My top 5 complaints right now
1. Crafting maps still sucks. Mass craft when?
2. Temple sucks and I want to like it. Just needs a few tweaks I feel would make it good.
3. Seamless controller mkb switchover back and forth
4. Optimization/Bugs
5. UI improvements and general visual clarity (truly the rarest of drops from the dev team)

I am essentially at the point where I just need the raven shard to annoint my helmet, and rakiatas to double my damage, amd there's pretty much nothing left to do.
I think if they are going to keep the infinite atlas, they need to find a way to make it more interesting......though I will say overall the maps are for the most part pretty fun.
They could add quests to unlock fragment slots that you could use to further juice the mechanic(s) you are interested in, or something else. They really just have to increase the difficulty slider at the top end......game feels way too easy once you are fully geared and you have nothing to strive for.
IDK maybe I should push towards 200% deli maps, just not a huge fan of Deli, but having more pinnacle content for all of the.mechanics would be amazing.

For sure. The ceiling is definitely lower then poe1. But that's fine since it's still in beta. They're getting the basic loop fleshed out and allowing a lot of builds to feel good. I'm sure a lot will get left behind to power creep as harder content emerges but this approach is valid.

The way it works now is the less extreme content, the more viable and fun builds there are, so it's probably a good idea. The second people start Fubgunning every aspect of the game and you need 15m dps to clear the high end content the builds get whittled down from the nearly ANYTHING GOES they have right now to the select 4-5 builds that's get price gauged to the fucking moon and then you get the 300 whiny "where's build diversity?!?!?!?!" posts nonstop.
PoE1 is complicated and involves considerable knowledge to attempt to make a build. To make the highest end build takes usually DOZENS of people working together (no streamer truly 1:1 makes these god builds, it's always a village effort). PoE2 is infinitely less complicated AND has less extreme content and because of thse factors has a MUCH larger audience. Once you start segregating the dad gamers who can just blast on any build and have fun from the divhourers you create a rift in the game the devs will have to spend more time than they should trying to fix.

I realize I do nothing but complain in this thread, but do the boss fights get better? I'm on Tavakai, and have died 7 times now after repeating 3 stupid phases each time, and about to throw the towel in. The entire screen is just one giant poorly telegraphed AE. Who designs shit in 2026 to make you re-fight boss phases over and over?

He's probably the worse, then they all go back to being pretty straight forward until some of the very end game bosses.

I can go and help you kick his ass if you want. Send me a tell @Hortic_Culturalist in game. I can also give you some items if you want, depending on your build.
