Thread 718461382

This is shaping up to be a GOD TIER patch. Through leaks we know we're getting at least:

>one new act (meaning ~30% more content in the end-game)
>Druid
>new huntress and monk ascendancy
>TotA
>some kind of Abyss/Delve hybrid
>2 new pinnacle fights
>Mercs
>sick new skill and support gems

And potentially a lot more + the obvious QoL improvements. This will easily be one of the biggest patches by GGG to date.

Wake me up when the game gets out of early access

>>718461446
this tbdesu, starting fresh in poe2 is mindnumbing, not playing until there's permanent standard

Patch is looking sick, but I'm somewhat disappointed by the classes we're getting. I'm not really interested in STR classes and neither the beastmaster nor the unarmed monk appeals to me.

>>718461382 (OP)
Is it possible to find boots with more MS than 5%? No? Yeah, no thanks.

I like the game but I hate that they are treating it like a full release already and not like the beta test of a less than half finished game that it actually is.

It doesn't need 4 months between major patches, it doesn't need leagues, it needs constant tweaking and response to player feedback.

>>718461382 (OP)
guys it's the BIGGEST PATCH EVER
this patch is going to be HUGE
this patch is going TO CHANGE THE GAME as we know it
i can't wait for the DARTHMICROTRANSACTION VOICE ACTING personally

lost to D4 lmao
good goy games

Looking at the scale of all these hype activities, 0.3.0 is absolutely the most anticipated update of the year

>>718461603
There are movement speed runes now, so boots with 55% MS are possible.

>>718461650
>one new act
Holy shit so the game is even longer now...

>>718461754
Actually it will be a lot quicker, because you won't have to play the acts twice. They will alter the level scaling so that act 1-4 will make you mapping ready.

poo2

>nerfed mob hp by 25%
miss me with this gay cookie clicker bullshit. behead all arpg mains.

>>718461382 (OP)
wow can't wait to get to act 3 and pull 30 levers and watch water drain each time!

>>718461382 (OP)
>>new huntress and monk ascendancy
what are they?
>>Druid
whats the druid archetype in poe
is it shapeshift

>>718461991
its none permanent shapeshift you just shit when the attack plays then turn back

As much as I loved 0.1, 0.2 was boring
And I dont think I have it in me to grind out the atlas again for shit drops

HOWA was so fun

>>718461991
>what are they?
Beastmaster for Huntress. Probably summoner/shapeshift hybrid.
Unarmed monk, so probably something akin to one with nothing in PoE1.
Druid is shapeshit/ele damage.
>>718462020
Wrong.

>>718462079
the only fun build in .2 was lightning spear and I'm expecting that to get gutted

>>718462079
0.2 was a flop, they fixed a lot of issues in 0.2.1 but by that point people had moved on.

>>718461816
>They will alter the level scaling so that act 1-4 will make you mapping ready.
Proof.

>>718461382 (OP)
is it free2pay already?

Lighting Warp BM was way cooler than LS normalfaggotry.

>>718462230
Nah, watching the lightning strike branch out across your screen was beautiful.

ANY
SSF
CHANGES
YET?

>>718462143
Act 6 is not a full act like the others, it's most likely just some kind of boss rush that will give you a few levels at best. So they basically just have to bridge the level gap of one act.

Right now there are plenty of zones, that don't increase in level, if they change it they can easily make it so you'll be ~lvl 60 by the end of act 4. About a month or so ago they said cruel would be gone in 0.3

ye ye big huge god tier patch does it add an auction house or a proper SSF gamemode akin to last epoch? oh it doesn't? seems like it'll always be a dead game then

>>718462328
There will never be any SSF changes. It's a mode for shitters who exile themselves from the economy because they know they can't compete.

>>718462357
No proof then.

>it's all speculation
Uh oh, someone's going to have a rough wake-up call once the reveal is turning out to be yet another blunder.

>>718462416
>they said cruel would be gone
>they have 4/5 full acts
Really not hard to figure out what will happen. It will be one out of 2 things:
1) Altered level scaling.
2) Some kind of bridge content.

Tencent and GGG both have their dicks in the RMT biz. GGG refuses to ever touch their crypto economy for that reason.

>The only leak we had was druid and his 3 ascendacies no longer had DNT tag and had real names: Shaman, Harbinger and Wild Heart. Also Monk's 3rd ascendancy no longer had DNT tag and got a real name: Martial Artist. Lastly Huntress ' 3rd ascendancy no longer had DNT tag and got a real name; Beast Master.

What does this mean

Can you play weaponless MONKE

>>718462328
no you still have to do the most painful crafting ever conceived in poe's history because jonathan is a non-bald fucking retard

>>718461382 (OP)
I told the hysterial /v/aggots its poe1 open beta all over again. by 1.0 it will be close to poe1 3.xx then poe1 1.0 itself was

they would know that if they were old enough to play it back then

>>718461382 (OP)
Yeah we love this!

>>718462861
The PoE2 whining is so fucking retarded, mate. It's half a year after EA launch, and even prior to 0.3 it already has more content than any ARPG except PoE1.

>>718462408
if there is any actual SSF player demanding more kiddie gloves from SSF then its a spoiled faggot that will never be satisfied. with the badzillion mechanics like various crafting and loot pinatas standard poe1 has, SSF is no problem and actually far more satisfying then training wheel...I mean trade baby league. where you can be one shotting ubers for a handful of chaos with cookie cutter builds

Doomers are about to be BTFO.

Do you have to play through the 4 acts twice still to reach the end?

>>718463127
No more cruel acts.

>>718463110
they are already in full cope mode on /poeg/

>>718462398
Nah man, GGG will literally rewrite the entire rendering engine for spell shadows but won't add an auction house because "muh player trading experience." SSF? Lmao that's just their excuse to never balance loot properly. At this point it's not even about QoL, it's about ritualistically preserving scuffed mechanics because that's what "hardcore" means to them. Meanwhile Last Epoch is out here dunking on them with filters and instant gear interactions. But sure, let's hype the 0.3 patch for the 5th time this year.

>>718463319
>but won't add an auction house because "muh player trading experience."
Why are you lying? They've confirmed multiple times that it's coming.

>FIXES EVERYTHING
Shut the fuck up you retard. This game was supposed to come out years ago. Everything they said was a lie. His latest lie was saying there is a 50% chance this game 1.0 release will be in 2025 lol.
Its an underwhelming dogshit game and their "not too strong" and 'keep power level low' approach while buffing and introducing insanely broken shit is a joke.
Their vision is shitting in a bucket and pissing on it.

>>718463957
Yeah, same. The wait for the stream is already hard, the wait for next week will probably be a nightmare.

BUT at least they said they would be dropping the patch notes right after the stream so we can occupy ourselves with theorycrafting.

>>718463957
yesss i'm giving them all my money now!!! nothing can stop my credit card!

Remember that if it doesn't have move speed, it's not worth playing and it's a bad build.

>>718462658
I love unarmed builds in games but not playing Monk again after I tried to play a shock monk in 0.1 and had to drop before the end of a4. Culling blows suck, the bell sucks, power charges suck, the autoaim REALLY sucks. I hated it.

>>718464152
>>THE BEST
>>FIXES EVERYTHING
Who are you quoting?

I dunno, I played it last year amd found the gameplay to be quite boring and bland. Building didn't feel interesting and the gear changed almost nothing for my character. I'm not really interested in playing it again

>>718464490
Take these superlatives in stick them up your ass you fucking homo.

>>718464547
Keep seething retard.

>>718464152

>>718464820
Keep supporting dogshit and ruin it for everyone you tasteless inbred retard.

Did they ever make this run better on Ps5 my resolution and shit were fucky and my computer probably can’t run it

>>718464843
Saying poe2 is dogshit, over-promised and way behind schedule must mean i love poe1 right?
Look what the game did to you. You are literally disabled.

>>718465131
I 100% bet you are, the people who talk like you are a bunch of bitter poe1 purists bitches i love poe1 but i dont act like that people like you do though you blame poe2 for poe1 not being the focus any more and because of that people like you shit on the game regardless of how wonderful it is

>>718461615
>i can't wait for the DARTHMICROTRANSACTION VOICE ACTING personally
if this is true im gonna abandon my child

>>718465281
LITERALLY
DISABLED

They desperately need to stop updating PoE1 and focus entirely on 2 if they don't want to tank both games. Sure there's a loud rabid portion of the PoE1 fanbase that can't shut the fuck up, and sure GGG hasn't handled 2 all that well, but they are only making the situation worse by trying to drag 1 along while drip feeding 2 updates. 2 desperately needs more work, more feedback, and a quicker pace. There is no excuse for how 0.2 looked when it launched and that should have been a wake up call for GGG.

>>718465421
>didnt deny it

>>718465109
Recently I played almost the entire first act again on my PS5 at 1440p with upscaling and I didn't notice the game dropping framerate or the resolution.

>>718465430
they are doing the best of both update each and get a new league every 2 months, 1 for each game is brilliant

>>718465593
i confirmed your disability and the mental state of someone who not only defends poe2 but also shills it - a delusional inbred retard with nonsensical logical leaps who defends his tormentor like a beaten wife.

PoE died after Ritual League.

>>718468339
Ultimatum was the last league before bald retard decided to give the game a gender reassignment surgery.
The mechanic was also better than ritual.

Most likely no.

didn't they want to have a beta in late 2022-2023? that was before the covid lockdowns.

Mark and mark2 are cool.
Jonny boy is a retard when out if his element and should have stayed in map design.
Everyone else OG cool already left the company.

If you didn't care you wouldn't have opened the thread, retard.

>>718471358
He wrote the engine from the ground up and designed most of the systems in the game.

>>718471423
Because I support China.

>>718471423
It's been 7 years since tencent owned GGG retard.
Any day now the chinks will ruin the game, surely.

>>718471423
Can you tell me what exactly is wrong with this?

>>718471423
that deal was signed in 2018. 80% upfront, the last 20% after 6 years.

>>718471508
Why?

>>718462989
you get that with all arpgs. for some reason this genre in particular attracts herd lemmings and hysterical hyperbole bitches

>>718471791
poe players are a special kind of whiny bitch. in 2024-25 they played through 4 poe 1 leagues, the necro/settlers and phrecia events, 2 gauntlets, the poe 2 early access launch, dawn of the hunt, and a new poe 2 league in a week. and they will get another league in each game before the year is over.

>>718470313
what the hell is cruel mode then

>>718472801
Cruel mode is what makes you replay the campaign and cruel mode will be gone in 0.3.

Did they ever fix armor or is it still impossible to not get one shotted in endgame

I can't fucking wait for this shit.

>>718473024
well we know that isn't true.

>>718461382 (OP)
go back to plebbit or your containment thread, jonatroon
>>718461446
KEK never ever. The game was a rugpull from the start.

>>718473024
oh that's great I didn't want to replay the 3 acts TWICE every time I wanted to do something

>>718473451
The only point of cruel is to bridge you to mapping, not to make you play 6 acts. With 4 acts it's no longer needed.

>>718471423
I wish I could blame the chinks for the enshittification of the game
but its all just about le vision shittery
first it was "it should be all RNG", now its also "it should be ALL RNG + wannabe soulshittery + guise did yu kno I like destiny 2 better?"
Cant wait for a decent arpg to absolutely assfuck this garbage.

>>718473876
they would either need to rework the experience gained in all the acts or double+ the size of act 4.

>>718461382 (OP)
And all of it will be tencent trash.
Fuck off chink shill, no chris no play.

>>718474124

>>718474124
The current scaling off the acts is off. Act 6 won't be a regular act, it'll be something like a final boss rush and thus give far less exp.

To make up for us replaying this zones twice they reduced the level scaling on them. There are tons of connecting zones that don't raise the level. Once they adjust that to normal and add another act you'll probably be about level 60 when you finish act 4.

>>718474972
>0.3 isn't 1.0
Got any more wisdom to share?

>>718475405
>it'll be something like a final boss rush and thus give far less exp.
i hope so.
the game is long enough as it is with just the 3 acts. they need to cut down substantially the campaign or add a skip.
the 10 hour campaign is fine in poe1. 20 hours in poe2 is starting to becoming a problem.

>>718475201
>that literally do not work
which ones

>>718474972
>10

>>718476783
everything works, it's just not very intuitive and the class needs a few more skills, like every other class in poe2 it's very unfinished.

>>718476950
yeah it sucks
i made a successful plaguefinger ele poison chonk in 0.1 that cleared all t4 pinnacles other than simulacrum but it was kinda ass, would have been way better on another ascendancy

>>718462658
They just need to make unarmed easy to bridge to early. I wanna play through act 1 just punching fools

>>718477219
it's probably going to be something as stupid as the first ascendancy node being "you can use stave skills while unarmed"
so staves until you hit the ascendancy, then unarmed.

>>718461382 (OP)
I have a stupid question. Pls don't laugh.

I bought the game yesterday and played for only 4h so far. Started as witch because I though she would be cool like necromancer in Diablo 3, but she's not so I dropped the whole summon thing and decided to play as crossbow witch.

My question: does the stash carry over to another char, like in Diablo? I got one unique helmet worth 1000 gold after first ~2 hours so maybe I would try that on different char just for fun. If it's possible.

>Diablo 3
stopped reading there

>>718477917
>have a question that would take literally 2 minutes in game to test
>proceed to ask instead of check for yourself
why is this a thing?

>>718478082
>>718478126
Well of course. As expected.

>>718477917
your stash is accessible to all characters in that league.
if you started in dawn of the hunt in a weeks time all that stuff will get merged to standard league when the new league launches.

>>718477917
Yes, it does. Put in your stash. However, since you sound like a massive newfag, be aware that a new league starts on the 29th, meaning if you want to play the new content you'll have to start a new character with a new stash.

>>718478245
>play the new content
leagues only gate the league mechanic and challenges, new acts and classes should be fair game in standard

>>718478206
>>718478245
Thanks. Yeah, I started DotH.

>>718477917
You stash is separated by league and difficulty.
Softcore and Hardcore will have 2 different stashes, Solo Self Found will also have its own separate stash.

>>718462408
>exile themselves from the economy because they know they can't compete
what? who the fuck is competing in the poe economy lmao what the fuck, getting divines is legit the easiest fucking thing imaginable.

>>718468339

FTFY

>>718478575
And I need to buy stash tabs for everything?????? wtf

>>718478575
Solo is when you don't do trades?

>>718478886
Yeah you're locked from trading and grouping with other players.
Towns are still multiplayer lobbies though, so you can see and talk with other SSF players.

>>718478763
nta but he probably means all the shitters who play ssf as a cope for being shit at the game.
>i didn't make it to red maps but i don't play trade!

SSF is just an excuse to be an introvert nerd loser.

>>718479071
i think you guys are making shit up in your head cause ive been playing this garbage game for 10+ years and i've never once heard of this archetype of human

>>718478765
No they're shared between all game modes and even Path of Exile 1.
The contents are separated.

>>718461382 (OP)
Did they manage to change anything in terms of map sizes? I would be ok with replaying the game with a different class now, after few patches, but some of the maps were just too boring for me.

>>718461613
Yeah, I hoped they would take some feedback a little more seriously. They are just releasing the game in batches.

>>718462398
>>718463319
The game would be so much more fun if there was a balanced SSF mode.

>>718462408
Trading is just farming shit until you have enough currency to buy better shit. Crafting is wasting the resources and time. SSF with balanced droprates and crafting would be 100 times better every time.

SSF is my preferred choice, although it could do with a lil love like Last Epoch has. Its just more fun to me to make do with whatever you find. Trade turns it into currency grind then buy all the best stuff, there is not the same satisfaction to me. Do not @me your opinion is irrelevant + you're brown.

>one new act (meaning ~30% more content in the end-game)
acts are the tutorial

>>718479257
What's the point of SSF when the game drops gear for other classes? Diablo 4 was right.

>>718461382 (OP)
>bought game
>get burnt out
>havent touched it since like January
just sucks desu

>>718479293
i think op is talking about the new maps and bosses that will be added to mapping because of a new act

>>718479293
Acts are tilesets, layouts, enemies and bosses for the endgame retardo.

If I like Diablo 2, would I like Path of Exile?

>>718479335
SSF is and has always been a self-imposed challenge as clarified by the developers. They balance the game around the core game mode, SC Trade, and allow the community to partake in various levels of added self-imposed difficulty in HC and SSF modes. They have and will never balance for these because they're supposed to be at the current level of challenge

>>718479614
>If I like masturbation, would I like getting fisted in the ass by 12 men?

>>718479614
poe is literally a bunch of devs being overly autistic about diablo 2, for better or for worse.

>>718479614
Maybe, early PoE 1 was very D2 like, but its evolved over the years into its own thing.
PoE 1 is free, so you can just see for yourself.

>>718462328
>play hard mode
>complain that is hard
???
what changes does it need?

>>718479614
I liked D2 (haven't touched it in years)
I dont like PoE1
I do overall like PoE 2 despite issues.

@anons who actually play videogames
is it shaping up to be something that can compare to poe1?

>>718480027
started out good but it's slowly becoming exactly like poe1, so yeah you can compare it

>>718480027
Depends on what you want. The gameplay is still vastly different, the builds aren't nowhere near as zoomy as poe1. If anyone says otherwise, don't listen to them. The combat is vastly different.
For me poe2 is a good break for poe1 zoomzoom gameplay, so I'm looking forward to it

smith was literally one of the best ascendancies, that shit literally cannot die. are you actually retarded?

The more they cave on their principles and make it more like PoE1 the better it gets.

I just hope the patch launches well so they can get back to working on the good game, PoE1classicoriginal

pretty much, the first rule about dropping support, is that you do it gradually. you don't kill the game overnight or people are going to uproar.
you reduce the amount of content every few months, until eventually you just can it once nobody shows up anymore and everybody's forgotten about it.

>>718471358
Where is mark here?

>>718468339
Poe died after ascendancy classes were added. Pure power creep and going against the shared passive tree among all the classes paradigm.

>>718482487
Mark joined later on

Lil slurp hasn't been playing for very long I see

>the most disliked mechanic of all time?
That was crucible but tota is pretty fucking bad yea

>>718484241
Slurp isn't a fish you retard

>>718484343
nah crucible was fairly inoffensive. bland and powercreep through the roof? sure. but terrible? hardly.

>>718461382 (OP)
You faggots are paying and getting excited to be BETA TESTERS

>>718484574
yes

If they are not fixing:
>Support gems having shit like 10% more damage on a sunday while your dad is fucking your grandma
>6linking being harder than 6linking in poe1 (one of the biggest reasons why poe2 was made btw)
>Crafting being shit
>The entirety of endgame
I'm not playing

The fact they dont seem to be in any rush to add the best most popular melee weapons + classes baffles me. Maces and skills fucking SUCK

Poop of excrement two

>t. div/h metaslave bot

>>718461382 (OP)
no new weapon types?

>>718485146
>just 25 more div and I can afford a 10% upgrade

>>718485295
New class means new weapon type and exactly 1 new build (which may or may not be playable)

>>718485295
there's a decent chance for claws with beastmaster and druid or axes with marauder who ties heavily into act 4.

>>718485295
new class = new weapon

>>718485087
shit, just getting everything IN should've been a priority. Balancing everything can come after everything is actually in

>>718485458
10% for 25div is a bargain

>>718485295
even better unarmed

>>718483102
So it basically is an entirely different company

>>718485505
claws are boring though....

>>718485865
people come and go in all studios, jonathan and a good few others from the start are still there

>>718485707
99.999% of SSF shitters never had a good character. They all larp as Ben when discussing the game, but in reality they get stuck in yellow maps ever league.

>>718484241
I loved crucible. The league was marred by shitty mob balance the weapon trees themselves were a great concept I hope gets rolled into poe2 somehow either specialized unique runes or runewords to give skills special abilities

>>718485547
They're trying to grift the casual rollslop paypigs and if they let people have fun the grognard ds sadists won't like it

>>718477917
You honestly should just fuck around for a bit, learn how the game feels, then wait for the new league on the 29th that is gonna have a bunch of new content and a ton of new players.

Also yes, stashes are shared between characters.

>>718479189
Some of the more infamous/egregious maps got downscaled so they're not as bad. Like the waterways in Act 3 are smaller, for example. Still feels like we need more player movement speed.

>>718463818
If you actually played the game you'd realize that 55% movement speed doesn't even feel that good due to there being no movement skills. It basically feels like how the default movement should be.
The game would actually be more fun if it was easier to get higher movement speed because you could design bosses/monsters around it. It feels a lot more snappy and fun when you have decent movement speed.

Also 55% movement speed means a lot less if you play Warrior or are using strength based armor and you lose a bunch of it due to your armor so it is more like 40% or whatever.

>>718485505
claws are pure dex in poe2, so yeah there's a good chance they get added in with the new huntress ascendancy that was leaked

>>718465430
as a poe1fag I want them to finish poe2 already so it can bomb and be forgotten, then they'll have to focus on poe1 again

>>718485087
>4 months until supposed 1.0 release
>still no daggers, axes, swords, flails, claws or traps

>>718487018
Delusional, all the PoE 1 devs left GGG, everyone remaining hates PoE 1.

I played for like 100~ hours when it came out
is it gonna be worth reinstalling for the new patch? I really liked the idea of the darkness monk but it was totally worthless.

>>718487293
not my problem

>>718487286
That timeframe went out the window straight away especially after deciding to split time with poo1. It will have been 4 months inbetween 0.2 and 0.3. One act + 1 class in 4 months

>>718487631
clearly the negative feedback about movement and enemies and especially mapping+atlas fucked them up, they thought it was genuinely good to have enemies that were the same as poe1 while the player was just 3x slower with no other changes.

>>718487386

GGG are notoriously obstinate with keeping things dogshit and just blaming the players lack of knowledge. Wouldn't expect anything good to happen.

>>718488143
They will not be slowing enemies down. Act 4 monsters have to be more dangerous than act 1-3 monsters.

>>718461382 (OP)
>druid and huntress are both in now
So the game is now at the state where 0.1 was meant to launch last December?

>>718488232
Speed isn't the only way to make them dangerous

>>718488469
don't worry they'll drop explosive poop on death too

>>718488232
but how do they do that? act 1 mobs already have on-death explosions, offscreen attacks, ground dots, how do they make act 4 mobs even stronger?
it's not like PoE1 where act 1 mobs are just slow-walking skeletons and zombies, in poe2 the mobs are already terminators from the start of the game

>>718488232
I'm aware. That's why they doubled back to working on POE1 again while poe2 basically got left abandoned.
