new poo2 update sliding out of jonathans ass august 27th

>>534228968 (OP)
Druid will be postponed until a year after the full release.

By posting in this thread you admit that Poo 2 is the worst ARPG ever made and you also admit that if you post the word "retard" in this thread you are a pedophile tranny diaper fetishist.

BALD FUCKING GENIUS (please come back and save poo2)

>>534229501
cute and new

Reminder to anyone who has been told that 0.3 is gonna be HYUGE, and rock the arpg world - you are listening to a paid shill

There is no grand master stroke for 0.3. The update will be the same size as 0.2, if GGG had something up
their sleeves, they would have played it then. You'll get at most on reworked hackjob of a poe1 league
mechanic, a few new ascendancies, and a bunch of retarded conditional support gems no one wants to use.
ONE new skill will be the meta skill and it will be lightning or projectile based. They will push FOMO and MTX
for it and you will pay for it. The rest of the patch notes will be a bunch of nothingburger qol updates. Major
system reworks and community requests like in-game trade integration, hotswapping controller/kb, gem links
tied to the character and not the gem, etc will go unanswered and swept under the rug. There will be no grand
innovations and you will be strung along like this until 1.0. Enjoy paypigging during the preleague hype cycle
based on 10 second trailers and bullshots only to be abandoned 2 weeks in when the dev team shifts back to 1.

Welcome to PoE!

retard

GGG have and will always have radio silence until the reveal announcement.

nope, they have perfected the formula that works for them.

>>534235443
How many people do you think have lasered their tattoo after the expedition disaster kino?

>>534228968 (OP)
I'm honestly surprised PoE2 maintains even these numbers.

>>534228968 (OP)
feel like star citizen has faster updates that poe2

I still have my skull with HH tatted on it to show my love for Headhunter. You guys aren't fake fans, right?

>>534237305
Thinking about it, FF7 really was the point in which I saw people with gaming related tattoos. Think the fact that the internet was getting to be widespread at the same time also played in to things (got to show off your cool tat to fellow gamerz on the internet).
Can't think of seeing a single gaming tattoo before 97'.

PLAY ANKO'S GAME!!!

>>534238812
Gaming was a highly unpopular and bullyable hobby for the whole of the 90s (and that didn't really change until Modern Warfare released) so most people didn't really want to let the whole world know they identified with it. I think Cloud and Sephiroth's edginess combined with the massive swords pushed a fair few people into game tattoo territory. I remember my friend's brother had this exact image tattooed onto his back (it was pretty amateurly done iirc), I wonder if he still has it and what it looks like now lol.

>>534239586
The amount of Sephiroth related tats at the time was unreal.

>>534235443
Can you even imagine that the most significant thing to ever happen in your life was centered around a video game? So much so that you felt the need to mark your body with said video game?

>>534241102
Hell I like PoE 1 Occultist too but not enough to tattoo myself with her kek

>>534235443
I wonder how these hold up long term. I thought tattoos blurred over time, which is why everyone got bold ass anchors.

>>534242019
>I thought tattoos blurred over time
They sure do, but I doubt he was thinking of the future when he got that.

HERE COMES A POE2

>>534234683
Is it any fun?

>>534244131
it won

I have grenades equipped and it says grenades are projectiles, shouldn't it be included in the tooltip instead of just crossbow shot?

>>534244658
God I hate PoE2s fucking tree, so many extra nodes to make it harder for you to path across it

>>534235443
I have never seen a tattoo that I thought looked good

>>534244131
for 10 hours, more if they add more acts as expected

for me it's thickened arteries

>>534244928
I legit did the math on this and there isn't that many more nodes, its 10-15% more travel nodes iirc. The real difference is you're forced onto main paths, in PoE1 there's all these shortcuts through clusters you can take, like golem blood or that chaos one near templar so you can cut a lot of travel out

I think like half the reason poe2's tree feels so bad is just because all the lines are curvy and everything is laid out stupidly. objectively speaking all the lines are longer for no reason and your brain notices that

>>534245271
Thats good isnt it, makes it harder for blood to escape.

it feels bad for a multitude of reasons, but who cares enough to effort post like it's going to be fixed when we have retards like Zaccie in charge of things?

>>534245601
I also feel like the nodes in 2 arent as impactfull as in 1 for some reason, feels like most of them fucking suck and are places in weird places.

>tfw died to kitava on gauntlet
Oh well, it was a good run. The circles covered the X attack that it does and I frostblinked right into one and got one shot.

>>534246005
because laying out grievances contributes to a stronger negative noosphere. this is advanced doomposting you probably wouldnt get it

>Why post about a game in that games thread
Weirdos

>>534242019
This is not going to look good in like two years tops depending on how much sun he is exposed too. There's a lot of white which is going to fade and yellow out along with that huge amount of light blue. It could've worked well as blackwork in bolder lines but it is what it is.

i have a feeling 0.3 is going to be huge

>>534246630
>>534246412
The game has had 9 months worth of critique at this point and GGG has just doubled down on most things instead of listening. You're acting like these are open-minded devs doing a a community-based early access and not egomaniacs who look down on their playerbase and think they know better. Jonathan openly said on the Ziz beatdowncast that he's making the game for himself first and foremost.

>>534247549
did you even read my post

I'm gonna play it but I don't see it lasting much last the weekend

>>534245341
yeah I think they need to tighten up the tree a bit, it's also tied to the stat requirements being much higher when stats are much more scarce being a problem for me. I'm hoping that as more things come into the game the tree gets reshaped considerably and adds those sorts of shortcuts in

Once the blackpill about poo2 reaches the normies, critical mass will effect GGGs wallet.

Hold the line doomerbros. We must break their spirit and their will

>>534234910

Will they ever add life nodes to PoE2's dog shit tree?

>>534248725
Lol. Normies moved on after completing the acts in February.

The bosses I've fought in TQ2 have been more fun than PoE2's bosses.

Hardcore mode is fun. I switched 2 years ago and never looked back.

>>534248725
I sincerely thing GGG pivotted back to poe1 because that's where all the whales are. Last teaser they kept reaffirming they weren't abandoning poe1 but it certainly felt like that up to that point

thread is filled with the lowest quality bait

>>534250031
and poe2 bosses are way more fun than poe1 bosses...shit sisters....

>>534250790

>>534250790
Who said my opinions were bait? PoE2 is a fucking awful game and GGG will go back to PoE1 as it's main product eventually. Its just like what happened with Runescape.

>jonathan rogers

>>534274810
The biggest offender is the excessive use of travel nodes. You can't really path out without wasting a billion points.

>>534274810
>>534274973
I complained about this on release
I'm almost certain they used AI to make most of the tree because it's so fucking retarded

>>534274973
I don't think you played poo2 too much. Those points are needed if you want to use high level skill gems. I am struggling on my monk to get the attribute requirements for my gems since they require both dex and int.
The only non starved attribute location is warrior for str. Witch/Sorc location is attribute starved and dex is somewhere on the middle.

>>534251117
blood mage crossbow bitch update, did tier 2 olroth quite easily and tier 0 xesht, I like the xesht fight and look forward to more breach lore after seeing that chayula is missing and of course how that ties into potential act 5 shit where he could well be working with the templar replacements to do gene splicing. But it makes me wonder why he would knowingly skip out on becoming part of god, perhaps thinking he can make a better one with the templars and what they've done to make that guy in the trailer that gets a corruption boost.

>>534275329
>The only non starved attribute location is warrior for str
Ye cuz you gotta take GB and equip an expert temple mace or whatev, and that's when the REAL starvation starts.
Anyway I don't think POE2 is way off the mark with attribute nodes. The tree is ugly and the necessity to have attributes on gear feels different, but it's so easy to manage with every attribute point being respeccable into any attribute, I don't even mind it personally.
The tree is butt-ugly and I wish it had masteries and more cool passives though.

>>534275329
yeah that's how I felt, as per >>534248214
I think they need to sort out stat requirements because they're way higher for both items and skills in POE2 than 1 and somehow it still feels like you don't get enough even with all the travel nodes. Item pressure feels a bit higher and dare I say makes defensive gearing much worse because it feels like only ES/Evasion combined is worth anything. They combine really nicely on my crossbow bloodmage with the 25% damage reduced and degen'd, it's very easy to double the HP with the orbs and use eternal youth to fill it up if you had to spam shit while there's no crits for more orbs on bosses etc

>>534275497
One of the Doryani goons that chill in your hideout (or maybe Doryani himself) has a line that suggests that Chayula is maybe helping humanity for his own selfish needs, so I don't think he's necessarily in cahoots with the Twilight Order because they're not even introduced to the story at that point (iirc the dialogue refers to the Vaal era, possibly, but I don't remember 100%).

Builds for this feel?

>>534275586
That is true, GB is extremely retarded and they need to revert it to 2x or buff some of the special str nodes.

>>534275767
zehp fotm bait with MTX, so some shitty FROSS version I guess.

>>534269704
>>534273523
No one likes you, you sad lonely pathetic psychopath.

>>534275746
yeah that line from him did fuel my speculation, but the other spoilered part is detailed in the art book, so we know something is gonna happen in Act 5 with "a breachlord", though old mate doryani's friend knows that Chayula isn't in that boss so I'm just putting 2 and 2 together.

>you now remember the very first time you cut sunder, equipped it, used it and how you wanted to immediately quit the game.

>>534275826
I wish they never added it, it was never going to be healthy for the game, it was always going to be either useless or mandatory with nothing in between. Shits up weapon balance forever for no real benefit, and honestly it doesn't look particularly cool either, it's dark souls2core to carry 2 ridiculous hammers around and twirl them like sticks.

>>534276167
The reason why it's mandatory now is because blocking is the only good defensive layer warriors have. If armour was good and had good nodes on the tree then it would take away from it's power and encourage more people to use 2x 2handers in their regular play.
As it is now, you only use 2x 2handers on weapon swap to a drop a big hammer on bosses and that's it.

>>534275948
Fair enough, I'm looking forward to seeing it as well.
For all the flak POE2 gets, I absolutely love the titanic amount of lore fanservice they did with fleshing out these various characters who are just a name on some item in POE1, or POE2 playable chars worshipping deities the POE1 exile just randomly whacked in the campaign/mapping. Just feels comfy to keep it grounded to the existing world and not keep reintroducing nonsense self-insert snowflakes to drive the story forward.

>>534276167
I always thought it should have no stat penalty and disable your shield instead

>>534276406
and there is a serious lack of melee weapons/skills in the game atm so there is little reason to not use it.

0.3 will save the game.

>>534276406
>The reason why it's mandatory now is because blocking is the only good defensive layer warriors have
Take block away and you'll still want to play 2h DW for the most part, with very rare exceptions being specialized unique stuff like mjolner or olso. It just pushes melee characters into 1 kind of build (str stacker) and it will always do that as long as the node is good and there isn't a diversity of useful nodes that make you unable to use it.
>As it is now, you only use 2x 2handers on weapon swap to a drop a big hammer on bosses and that's it.
I'm aware and this is even gayer to me, 2h+shield/2h+2h being the default loadout is so boring. It's gonna take the game years to get some kind of loadout diversity, and GB will be like 60% to blame for that.
I just want at least the level of 1h-2h-DW balance that POE1 has, which is far from perfectly balanced, but at every setup has its own identity and advantages. In POE2 it's "do this or you're retarded".

>>534276545

>>534279118

It's true, wrath was carried by the setting and carry-over story from WC3 only.

Anime plotline afterthought excuse to try and make sense of the Lich Kings retarded actions in Wrath.

>>534279436
>From a scrapped idea
a scrapped idea of 19 new ascendancies.
phrecia is exactly what poe 4.0 would have been. and yes, even with updated graphics it still would have been shit.

>>534279284
The reality of the sequel has killed any excitement. They had the perfect plan in place and nuked it for this shit? If you told me a few years ago that PoE 2 would launch in this unfinished and completely underwhelming state and PoE 1 would be left to rot, I would've never believed you. It's just sad how badly this sequel has been mismanaged.

>>534279776

You're not wrong on that.

Some of the Phrecia ascendancies (like Bog Shaman) are less lazy than POE2 ascendancies desu.

Already forgot about Occulus? The first Raid Tier being a literal slop copy of Naxx?
Only topped by TotC in pure slop? Even the only two good raids, Ulduar and ICC were like 70% filler fights nobody gives a single shit about with a single fucking mechanic at best.

I'm bored and thinking about going for the read all notes and talk to everyone achievement. Anyone have some fun or interesting builds to keep me interested through the acts? I mainly play melee/slammers

poe2 has definitely a qa issue but the question is, would good qa be able to fix it? I don't think so because obvious and now tested bad systems like towers are something they want in the game, no amount of qa can fix that.

At least it's not a retooled poe1 ascendancy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfMHY7JG9J0
At 1:43 in this video, you see the original shapeshifter class Huntress was going to be in Chris' version of PoE 2. Stop making things up, schizo.

>>534279183
PoE2 should have been

>+1 ascendancy for each class (Druid ranger, Monk templar, blood witch, crossbow duelist, phys caster shadow, gemling scion)
>New campaign, old one is a mess and wasn't even ever finished
>Legacy like 80% of the useless items, bloat currency, and league mechanics

>>534280139
can't you just do all at once and talk to everyone once you finish the campaign?

>>534280160
Some of the issues aren't QA but just the devs not understanding what makes a game fun.
Think back to release and how Boneshatter worked.
>Basically doesn't do anything on a non damaged enemy
>Has to be used on an -almost- stunned mob
>What is "almost" stunned changes depending on if it's a White, Magic or Rare mob
>If you don't stun a mob enough it won't do anything and you'll have to hit again, potentially with another slow attack
>If you stun a mob too much it won't do anything, you can't "almost" stun it again
Someone designed it like this and it worked as intended, QA likely found no issues with how it was supposed to work.
It was just a dogshit mechanic to the point where they had to add a support gem that makes the Boneshatter gameplay loop not retarded and even then, they refuse to just bake it into the Boneshatter gem so that you can still Boneshatter a mob for a few moments after heavy stunning it as if it would make a huge difference to allow that.
It shows that the PoE 2 devs are genuinely just retarded, they care about their insane vision of how something should work rather than if it's fun or not.

>>534280461
damn cuh thing be change from years ago?
sheeeeeeeit.
a class isn't an ascendancy.

remember when some schizo freak stalker looked up gggs public business records, noticed that chris is gone and ggg said that its an accounting error

i watched jung kill uber shaper and thought he said he was done for the night, and the next thing i know he's dead. i can't believe they go through these multiple 24 hour farming sessions to gear up and then die looking like they had no chance and gave up

>>534282297
it's probably the best ARPG for casuals desu, but I'd still wait until it's free or until the full campaign is in the game and ironed out. There are rough spots that they still need to tune a lot for it to be satisfying

Trvthplosion

>>534282414
How much of the campaign is playable? What about classes? And most importantly, have they finally made melee less terrible?

>>534282414
true that. probably has the best early game of any arpg. fun campaign, good build diversity, enough currency and gold to craft and gamble all your gear, nice areas to explore and great act bosses.
just the right amount of difficulty and grind to keep a newfren or casual invested but not overwhelmed.

>>534282721
>How much of the campaign is playable
Half
>What about classes
Bit more than half available, I think
>And most importantly, have they finally made melee less terrible?
Anon... they made it worse....

>>534282721
about half the campaign, and just under half of the classes and their sub classes. Will take a casual a good 10-15 hours for the first 3 acts which then repeat in a slight new game + style before you get to something similar to an adventure mode which is the end game. won't hurt to try it out in its current state but I'd leave it until the next patch at the very least which is the end of the month and will change basically everything I've just talked about in some way

>Anon... they made it worse....
That's a shame, then I'll probably stay out of it.
I was never a fan of mages and archers and really wanted to play as a monk
Have they ever said when they will make it free?

>>534283015
quarterstaff which is monk's "default" is the best melee at this point and it is good, spear is a recent-ish addition and it's in the middle, mace is weird and needs fixing IMO.

>>534283015
melee is fun dont listen to that retard

>>534283278
But anon, it literally is worse than in PoE 1?
Monk is okay but that's basically just PoE 1 melee gameplay.
Spears are ass and Maces are absolute dogshit.

>>534283418
i would call you a retard but i feel like an ironic 'TRVTH NVKE!' would be better suited.
TRVTH NVKE!

>>534283418
nah you dont play the game im destroying screens with spears did the same with the monk

>>534283418
>Maces are absolute dogshit.
Maces do a ton of damage, have a ton of coverage. Obviously they're not for everyone but saying they're bad is like saying POE1 brands are bad, just completely misguided.

>Spears are ass
Spears are FOTM as fuck and some of the melee spear skills (bleed spear, whirling snapshot memes) are just fine as well.

The only thing that sucks about POE2 melee is that there are relatively few options for skills, but this applies to every archetype, there just aren't enough abilities in the game.

So who should I believe?
I only play melee so it all depends on how playable it is. I remember playing melee in poe1 and it was fine until you got to the maps after which I just quit the game because they were too difficult

>>534283901
everything takes a while to scale in this game, thats why that anon is bitching like everyone else saying things are shit when they are not, melee is way more engaging in poe2 than it is in poe1 and more fun its up to you im not gonna keep going over this

>>534283901
>So who should I believe?
Yourself, after careful research.

>I remember playing melee in poe1 and it was fine until you got to the maps after which I just quit the game because they were too difficult
Recognize that it was a different POE and that you were maybe a shitter. Melee is incredibly meta in current POE1 and fairly strong in POE2 (lightning spear+wind serpent is too strong to call anything else "meta" when it exists, if it didn't, melee would be among the meta as well).

>>534283901
>So who should I believe?
If you really have nothing better to do play. Otherwise wait for the full release. The game needs a lot of work.

>>534283761
>>534283648
>>534283632
Retards, they might be good numerically but they play like ass, that's what casuals care about.

>>534268819
I did that and it didn't work

>>534284208
>they might be good numerically but they play like ass
Leap slam into boneshatter plays like a violin, and then you just yell and drop a hammer on the boss.
Stop basing your impression of POE2 on A1. I know you didn't get much further but there's more to the game than failing to use Rolling Slam on the Miller properly.

you vill hit the anvil

>>534284357
spears feel pretty great to play as well.

>>534284460
you vill watch a youtube short from the first 3 hours of a league and base your entire understand of the game on that

>>534282297
No. See the OP. Players are quitting in droves. The review score which survived on GGGs past reputation is plummetting. Most importantly the game is simply not fun past a point. Waste of time invested.

Jonathan said maced are the slowest melee weapon and spears are the fastest
My question to this is, shouldnt daggers be faster than spears?

POOP

>>534284695
Daggers will be for casters anon.

>>534284695
I see your point, but a counterpoint is that daggers are less about a million impotent shivs and more about deliberate and devastating critical hits to weak spots. Also they're probably gonna do a lot of blade juggling/throwing skills too, POE1 already had a bunch.

>>534284827
I mean daggers are meant for extremly close combat, spears have a bit more range, but at the end of the day they are both stab weapons, which you just want to spam in the correct location (i.e not straight at their armour but where they're unarmoured)

I stopped playing because it became boring. There is nothing to do in endgame but run endless, boring maps, with stupid delirium mechanics over them and that godawful music.

I stopped playing because loot is still bad and it is impossible to gear character without engaging with trade system. The trade system is also bad

I stopped playing because the servers are atrocious and they keep gaslighting the playerbase that it is DDOS attacks.

I really enjoyed this game when I first started playing but the amount of people playing seems criminally low right now. I know it's a seasonal game blah blah whatever but it's low even for this.

GGG gotta update more and communicate more. This is an early access game.

Edit I thought of more reasons:

XP loss on death is an anti-fun mechanic aimed at no-lifers and streamers and their imaginary "leaderboards"
Crafting is a gamba simulator
Game does not respect players time at all

>>534284695
what about claws

>>534266059
>consistent growth over 10+ years
>death spiral
get better bait

>>534285086
Claws are cut from the game as per the leaker from last year

>>534284619
what are you on about

>>534285069
Ignoring the comment on XP loss, which is shitter cope, redditbro is right about everything here

>>534285184
it wasn't really consistent tho. betrayal peaked in 2018 and that wasn't passed until deli league in 2020. then you had covid and the poe 2 hype machine inflating the player count.

POO 2
HUGE STINK

-There is no item I really need. And if I need it, the fastest way would be to grind currency and buy it. Unique items are fun to collect, but also 95% useless.

-Leveling up around 92 becomes tedious in non meta mapping builds.

-Boss fights are ok but not really fun. More like something you just have to do.

-I would like to play helper queue or multiplayer, but it is in its core a solo game.

-The Atlas is dreadful. Endless generic slob with no story and no aesthetic concept. I would really prefer a campaign, which gets increasingly difficult and requires grinding the same levels.

Reeeeeeee it wont let me craft the level 30 aspect of the avian. I tried killing saqawal myself and also packaging up all my saqawals and killing him

Another day another successful schizo bait.

poop2 is a terrible game

>>534287146

The head chef.

My hero

why will 0.3 be any different than 0.2?

>>534290373
one decimal bigger than it

>>534244131
Nit really. Too slow

>>534290373
Because they recieved massive backlash from 0.2 and have to improve for 0.3?
Because DM was at their office and said so?
The better question is why would it be as bad as 0.2?

>>534277028
Funny hoe poe2 was intended to fix the mistakes of poe1 yet they completely buttfucked weapon and skill balance from the word go. Can't believe they added stat stacking as the premier build archetypes from the first iteration. It only gets worse from here

>>534279378
like 50+% of phrecia ascendancy nodes are unique items. im not just talking about scav

>>534278035
GGG has very rarely expanding their games actually content. The rely almost entirely on their rng loot and mapping system to string players along. I had once thought GGG would use poe2 as a way to integrate game mechanics more organically into the structure of the world, instead of just having a mapping system with carnival rides plucked into it. That hope is gone. Its gonna be the same shut where there's never any longitudinal or vertical expansion, they'll just cram more obtuse clown rides into what's already there

A lot of the criticism here is valid, but the way it's delivered just turns people off. If we want the game to improve, we should give clear feedback without burying it under cynicism. Path of Exile 2 still has potential—it just needs better pacing, clearer systems, and a dev team willing to listen without being on the defensive. Let’s at least try to raise the bar when we talk about it.

>>534281220
What makes you think their feedback would be considered?

>>534291251
have they not receiver massive backlash from 0.1 to 0.2?
have there not been streamerniggers saying 0.2 will be different and good?
the better question is why would it be better than 0.2?

>>534291853
How about this clear and constructive criticism.
Remove Jonathan Rogers and Mark Roberts from any and all development decision making for PoE2.
There you go.

>>534291935
ggg is a meritocracy, the current game director and lead designer for poe 1 is a former qa chud.

>>534292669
That's poe 1, not 2 which is jonathan's game.

>>534292843
and jonathan made poe 1 and was responsible for designing half of the systems in it.

>>534292638
Yeah, I agree. From what I've seen and experienced they have no Vision (tm) like BFR did.

>>534284357
Leap slam into boneshatter plays like a retard riding a bumper car, not a violin

>>534293454
Skill issue

>>534291251
No that's not the better quest. Why would a company with a known track record of subpar releases suddenly be able to buck that trend under jonatroons failed leadership? They might WANT to, but they aren't skilled enough

>>534292981
No he wasn't. He was a coder

>>534293816
>a company with a known track record of subpar releases
TRVKE
i hate how people act like they are the gold standard of the genre. nothing but troonslop, and it was no better under chris wiltroon either.

>>534294168
Name a better ARPG?

>>534293816
>a known track record of subpar releases
>literally constant player growth for 12 years straight

>>534292981
Lmao his highlight was literally delve and now it's abandoned.

>>534294237
To be fair that's likely due to the failure of others rather than the success of GGG. Diablo IV for instance was so dogshit that people were flocking to PoE again.

>>534294103
true, he coded the engine from the ground up and then he designed half of the system in the game.
not exactly a secret.

>>534294336
I'm genuinly confused, what is your main game? What are you doing in the /poeg/?
Why are there so many fuckign tourists in here lately

>>534294325
idk i always liked the skill gem system from poe, most of his designs were pretty gg. and of course 'the vision' is half his according to chris.
you're not one of those newfags who think tencent hired jonathan to replace chris are you?

What does Quin69 think about this

>>534294512
Fucking tourists? Are you retarded? Show your 40/40 you nigger cunt. Tourist? You likely have never seen the endgame and you think you have the right to call people tourist? I have EARNED the right to complain and shit on the game I have played since 2013. Fuck you!

Holy shit, the gauntlet is straight up not fun to play.

>>534295296
I thought it was already over a week ago

>lvl 99
not even paying attention to your argument but lol

>>534295217
so show some older challenges, no one gives a fuck about merc league.

>>534295361
>The 5th char of the league is not level 100
Shut the fuck up, moving goal posts. You have no arguments in this matter. You didn't show your 40/40. You fucked up. Own it.

>>534295415
Like these? Now you show your 40/40.

>>534295584
oh i see the problem you typed '2013' instead of '2023'

challenge trannies trying to take the "most annoying faggots" title away from ssfsissies

>I collected 100 dark shrines so I'm a good player
lol. I value the opinion of 40/40 cucks less than the opinion of someone who never played POE.
"achievements" for people who can't achieve anything.
show gauntlet level nigga

>>534295707
Once again you fucked up, nigger. Show your 40/40.

>>534295732
>>534295773
See >>534295217 and understand the context of what you're responding to.

>>534295792
so show a challenge from before 2023? lets see legacy, that was a banger.

>>534295928
>no u
You haven't shown shit, nigger. You called me a tourist. You haven't shown why YOU belong here, you literal fucking nigger. People like you should unironically be murdered.

40/40 is so easy that it means nothing to me. I only respect top 10 race finishes or 7/7 in hc on a non trivial build (no EE)

>>534296097
Moving the goal posts over and over and over.
Alright, I'll bite. Where is your top 10 race finish? Your 7/7 HC on a non-trivial build? I'll wait.

>>534295998
you are the one bragging about being some 40/40 og gigachad, idgaf i just thought it was funny that your oldest challenge was from a few years ago.

>>534296228
Bragging? I responded to the nigger calling me a tourist. I don't play every single league, but the ones I do - I play for 40/40. The goal posts kept getting moved.. "Oh no, you only have 40/40, but the current league is too easy - show older leagues". Then it was "Oh, you said 2013, but you meant 2023". When that was proven wrong it was now moved to "oh, I only respect HC or top 10 race finishes" etc.. It's a never ending circle of retardation from cunts who don't even play the game, but live for THIS exact type of drama. I unironically want you all to die.

no tota and drood with act 4 btw

>>534296409
>Tune in the reveal showcase
>It's only act 4, but some quests are still missing and placeholders
>Some monster had to be cut as well
>The act boss bugs out live and crashes the game
mfw

>>534296395
so you started playing a few years ago on an old account. what was the first league you played? i'm starting to think anon was right for calling you out.

>>534296610
When I first started playing you could only reach Act III. I played a Marauder.

>>534296667
and what was the first league you played? show those challenges...

>>534296809
I am literally the only one that has ever shown a single screenshot of my account. Fuck you and fuck your ever goal post moving cunt. I don't owe you anything.

>>534296165
poe racing awards got reset + im not going to dox myself, so you'll just have to believe me that i have a couple more placements :)

>>534296870
lol
lmao gottem

>>534296870
i literally showed you my legacy portal thoughbeit.
this is my oldest league, well flashback is lower on the list but i feel like that was after talisman.
what was your first league?

>>534295086
quin is the type of guy who would call doomies cringe and retarded and then proceed to doom

>>534297201
Great. Then stfu and stop calling others a tourist.

>40/40 tards think level 100 or running 50 ubers is hard

>>534297302
what's your first league though? why do you keep avoiding my question?

>>534297365
it was crucible, who cares?

>>534295296
even none of the streamers can do it without their trickster clutch lmao
>grind for 18 hours a day for a week to die to exarch balls

is there like any guide how to make this kind of sword?

>I showed you my dick now answer me.

>>534297565
I've managed to get far and fast on my terms with a 1% build (toxic rain), but I definitely see how almost anything but strict meta is cut out of the equation in this gauntlet. As another anon has said, you can breeze through with a powerful build, but then something unforeseen roadblocks you and you are done. It's fucking retarded and requires you to know the bosses and what not, before you actually play it. It's incredible retardation that only serves streamers and neets.

>ermagerd poe sucks all the other ARPg are so much better
>huhh whaaat??? why would you accuse me of being a tourist??
So you're just a contrarian shitposter fishing for (You)s by shitting on the game. Actually more pathetic than a tourist

>>534298302
You confuse two different posters with me. You accused me of being a tourist when the first post I made in this fucking thread was >>534294336. That's it. That's literally it. You need to seriously kill yourself.

>>534298449
You saying the only reason PoE is successful is because other games in the genre is shit, IS shitting on PoE, dumbass

>>534298780
I am saying the main reason PoE saw consistent player growth was due to the failure of other ARPGs more than it was that PoE was particularly great. If you can't handle criticism, stay away from public forums. If you tie your entire identity to a video game, that's on you.

>>534298780
because it is shit

>>534298889
>the main reason PoE saw consistent player growth was due to the failure of other ARPGs more than it was that PoE was particularly great.
what other arpgs is the question? you say d4 but that had zero impact on poes growth one way or the other. last epoch on the other hand saw a huge launch because d4 was shit.

0.3. Save. The. Date.

>>534299161
>flushes down the toilet ggg's integrity
>all smiles

So when are they going to either nerf the piss out of ES or buff health/armor

>>534299139
Grim Dawn, Wolcen, Last Epoch, Torchlight, Lost Ark, Undecember, Diablo IV.

>>534299343
>Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro

>>534298780
And is he wrong? What's the competition? I've been playing this game since 2012 and from then til now the closest to "fun" I had on an ARPG that was not poe was playing crusader in reaper of souls for like a season.

>>534299396
Not ARPGs, but still compete for some of the same audience.

>>534299454
Those are all classified as ARPGs

>>534299520
You're not arguing in good faith if you think a souls-game is the same as an isometric ARPG.

>>534299571
So now you added isometric

>>534299571

>>534299343
none of those games had an impact on path of exiles growth.

>>534299687
We're comparing it to PoE. You've already moved the goal posts a few times and proven not to argue in good faith. We're done here.

>>534299763
Every ARPG since 2013 was supposed to "kill PoE" and all of them tripped over their own dicks:

Grim Dawn: Great offline game but no seasons, no trade, no long-term replayability. Boomers love it, but it's not live.

Wolcen: Looked amazing, played like ass. Completely collapsed post-launch.

Last Epoch: Best contender so far, but no trade, no real economy, still lacks endgame depth. Performance issues too.

Torchlight III: Embarrassing. Nobody even remembers it dropped.

Lost Ark: Fun for a month. Then you hit the Korean spreadsheet and realize the whole thing's a glorified casino.

Undecember: Korean PoE clone that died to P2W cancer before it even got started.

Diablo IV: AAA trash. Shallow itemization, boring leveling, dead in 3 months. Nobody stayed.

All this did was make PoE look like the last real ARPG standing. GGG didn’t win because they were perfect—they won because everyone else was worse.

>Actually doing 40/40
lmao mazed retards

>>534299993
>Every ARPG since 2013 was supposed to "kill PoE"
because it was the industry leader you mean?

>>534300192
It was the spiritual successor to Diablo II, so in that way I guess it was the only target left to beat. How much did PoE change over the years as opposed to what the alternatives tried to offer?

>>534300298
poe changed constant, there have been over 40 leagues by this point.
they took what worked with d2 and they minmaxed the fuck out of, over the years turned it into the genre defining game that it is.
it's why you see people say shit like 'poe killer'

>>534300425
>Streamers are my life

>>534300465
>I got called out and I'm upset

>>534300451
I have a love/hate relationship with PoE. I play it, but I don't think it's the greatest thing out there. If I find a season fun, I'll stick with it until I complete whatever goals I set for myself. If I don't enjoy it I'll just quit and play something else. It's not a religion or a tattoo. It's not that serious.

Do you think the coder is responsible for designing the overall structure of a game, what parts it will have, and how its systems will function? Or is he given a design document and told what parts to implement based on the games overarching goals? Do you even know what you're fucking talking about?

Like if I had a team of fucking jeets "coding" a game, do you think I'm going to hand over creative control to them as well? Or do they get handed a fucking workflow and told what to do ? Talk about a retarded post...

They can't remove features from PoE 1, but they can choose not to add things they don't like to PoE 2.
Just stick to PoE 1 if you want endless convenience and triviality, whats the issue.

isn't this almost the best possible merc for that chaos damage build?

Yeah? Prove you're not a loser

Can we just admit that itemization in Poo 2 is poopy dogshit? Adding harvest resist swap does literally nothing to fix the underlying broken system. Also everyone who plays ARPGs is a loser. It's a requirement to play games in the genre.

>>534321757
Fracturing orbs already basically gives you guaranteed 2 affixes (fractured affix + chaos orb for the second one) on any piece of gear or jewel. We dont need more determinism

>>534321906
>Fracturing orbs already basically gives you guaranteed 2 affixes
I get what you're saying but

It isnt a day 1 thign but by week 2 this should be the least limiting factor to you crafting good gear. I mean gettign 2 good affixes already drops naturally a lot

>respond 6 hours late with pure cope
idk what you retards were arguing about but he definitely won

I'M DA RIZZLAH BAYBEEEE
NYEHAHAHAHA

>>534324559
I don't mean to say it's not feasible.
I just mean it's not a simple action. It's gathering and discarding potentially piles of items to guarantee 1 affix if you get lucky. It's not a negligible amount of work for that result.
If you wanted to gear up quickly, like for an Arbiter race, and you needed 2 affix gear, chances are you'd find gear with those 2 affixes before you fracture it.

>>534324023

>>534325294
Wild that you got to 95 without cb immunity. I just picked it up via the mastery for the Oversoul/Shav fights and never unspecced it. It's not even a waste of points if you're a marauder.
That said I won't make it to 95 myself (I'm in maps but lacking free time and energy) so I should probably not tell you how to play.

>>534228968 (OP)
>>534229195
I haven’t kept up with this game since January, what happened now?

>>534325832
retard

>>534325698
i play jugg all the time and never seen cb do that much damage no matter what map, only time i put immune on is for sirus.
only thing i can think of is an unfortunate blight mob type has abnormally high damage for cb scaling

>>534325130
So what?
I wasnt saying this is the way to get your gear, i said we already have essentially 2 deterministic affixes on any gear or jewel you want. That should be the limit for now, maybe years down the line they can go the PoE route and just completely trivialize loot from the ground. Lets not go there yet

1 more theather of lies or 2k manical and I'm done, tomorrow it is

now, what am I gonna play after I'm done with poo1? maybe some dotes, maybe I'll finally play tw:w3

I’ve been listening to the PoE 2 score recently and i never realised how good Count Geonor and Arbiter of Ash were. Trial of Sekhemas is really good aswell

>>534326589
>only thing i can think of is an unfortunate blight mob type has abnormally high damage for cb scaling
I think scenarios are like this are very common even outside of blight, there are scenarios where mobs apply various inc damage taken mods on you that aren't resistable and CB damage goes up quite a bit. On top of that, if you don't run specifically a regen build, CB can fuck you by staying on you after you've cleared all the mobs (disabling your reactive recovery or leech). I just make a point of getting immunity in every gauntlet because it doesn't cost me much but it lets me not think about it.

>>534326713
I just thought it needed highlighting, because you call it guaranteed 2 affixes, but that's a pretty liberal interpretation of "guaranteed". Guaranteed, eventually, possibly after a lot of work.

What the fuck am I missing here? I've finished every side quest. The only ones showing up in the quest tab are The Niko, Divinia and Lost Expedition quests, but they don't count as side quests, do they?
Or is the last quest I'm missing one of the three?

>>534328018
We’re talking 2-3 div in total

>>534328351
probably swig of hope since it wont show up unless you get one of the items or talk to fairgraves

>>534327654
trial of suggma has the best soundtrack. I hated suggma's when I first started poop2 but desu it grew on me, once you get used to it and with some good relics in becomes enjoyable and the music helps.

>>534329145
trial of the sekhemas is unironically poe2's best content, i love it

sekhemanuts

>>534328784
Again, I'm not arguing the feasibility of it, it is perfectly feasible. It's just a lot of steps for what you get, which ends up raising the question "why bother with the craft".
I think the game should be in a state where that state should be easy to answer, but I guess even POE1 underdelivers on that front at a certain gear level.

>>534328875
God bless you, anon thank you that was it. Idk how I missed him in acts he was right next to the waypoint.

>>534329571
You wouldnt bother with the craft unless you’re doing many of them, until eventually one turns good when you wittling/exalt slam it

it's time to grow up and move on.

take my claw and let's go

to better games

>>534324023
figure out if you really want that hits cant be evaded, you can cant roll attacks + exalt for some pretty good results

From 0.3 onwards we're going to continue seeing PoE 2 have massive leagues that are widely popular
On the PoE 1 side we'll continue to see declining player numbers league after league. The fact that the latest league was after a 1 year long hiatus and even an expansion and still did worse than the previous 2 leagues speaks volumes. I think its over long term for that game

0.3 is going to be much bigger than 0.2, the peak playercount can not go down by 330k again

1.0 is going to have a million players. they'll announce eos for poe1 soon after

>>534331961

what is the plan

>>534342019
It's a vaal skill. Kill enemies to charge the skill. Then once the skill is charged you need to succeed the 20% chance to immediately recover the souls so you can cast the spell twice.

Johnny also said D4 was a good game that was a few balance passes away from killing PoE on stream at one point

>>534350110
Why would anyone care? It's just one person.

>>534350702
ggg still hasnt publicly said anything about chris stepping down
they probably parted ways on bad terms where chris disagreed with the chinese overlords and jonathan betrayed him. some real anime shit
keep in mind that chris was vehemently against poe2 being its own thing. "1 game 2 campaigns" was his idea and he explicitly said that making poe2 a separate game would be a very bad idea because it just wouldnt have the amount of content that poe1 players expect. i dont remember what he said verbatim but he was certain that poe2 should never be a standalone sequel
pair that with the 4chan jeet leaker who said some shit about poe2 being an early access cash grab and you get a pretty good picture of what might have happened

>"1 game 2 campaigns" was his idea and he explicitly said that making poe2 a separate game would be a very bad idea because it just wouldnt have the amount of content that poe1 players expect
And he was fucking right, one of the major issues with PoE 2 is how absolutely shallow it is to the point where even Last Sleepoch has more fleshed out mechanics, it's an absolute tragedy that a game that calls itself Path of Exile is this shallow.

>>534351375

0.3.

That’s it. That’s the post.

>>534351405
>Immediate and obvious decline in quality, quantity and communication
This kind of thing happened numerous times from time to time.
Poe entire life cycle was picrel from the very beginning

If POE2 was merged into POE1 and deleted all POE1 systems in favor for POE2 revamps you faggot retards would be fucking jumping off the walls howling how the game is ruined forever

>>534352992
Yes, which is why they decided to split it into it's own game but the correct decision would've been to simply not go through with the retarded PoE 2 systems, I know, hard concept for Jonathan to grasp but that's how it is.

>>534352992
>Replace good PoE1 Systems with shit PoE2 systems
>People would complain
No shit?

>>534352992
But they don't do that
If Mom was a man, she would be Dad

>>534353196
The animation system, skill gem system, WASD, pausing, etc, were all universally praised

>>534351375
The leaker said there was a physical altercation if you recall xD

>>534353426
That's why I specified to just not go through with the retarded systems, not all of them, just the retarded ones.

For years now we've been wanting to make a sequel to Path of Exile. The problem with that though is that sequels split a community between two products. It's also hard for a sequel to compete with the amount of content and features that the original game has. We've just spent 6 years making expansions for Path of Exile, so imagine if we released a Path of Exile 2 and it was just a bare campaign with none of that extra content. Tthis would be a sad shell of an action RPG compared to the current state of Path of Exile. It would have none of the years of expansion content and improvements that make the game great. So we're creating Path of Exile 2 as a new campaign alongside Path of Exile 1 with a shared endgame.

>https://youtu.be/gENl7XuQyNQ?t=1192

>>534353498
Yeah except those changes i mentioned are already not possible in PoE 1 except the pausing feature

>>534353772
I remember that announcement and how I fell for it. Years later when they split it into two separate games again I lost hope that it could ever be great.

>>534353426
the skill gem system is not universally praised
wasd requires far more than making the buttons move your character. it would be trivial to make the wasd keys act like a controllers joystick at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees but as you can see they chose not to add it. every map in poe2 is designed around the ability to move in 8 directions. once you realize this you will see it everywhere. skills are designed to be used while moving which is fundamentally bad design. wasd is not a free quality of life improvement

>>534353909
They are tho if you'd update the animations...
What I'm talking about is removing like 80% of the currency, bosses, map mechanics, neutering conversion mechanics, slowing everything down by like 70%, removing almost all sources of flat added damage for spells, giving every spell a 1:1 ratio of flat added damage (yes even fucking eye of winter) etc.

>>534354295
I know what you mean. Im telling you PoE 2 came with many great features that due to PoE 1 technical limitations wouldnt exist without a new game

>>534354404
Which technical limitations? PoE 2 is literally just a modded version of PoE.

lmao they haven't even started doing anything yet, first patch, bucko?

Hey goyims bit of a newfag here when it comes to poe. Never played the original, I have 214 hours in POE2 since 0.1. I have really enjoyed the game. But I have seen nothing but schizo level vitriolic chimpanzee hate for the game both here, steam forums, /v/, everywhere. I have been active in dozens of /vg/s over the years and never seen this level of 3rd worlder type hate, like it feels like everyone complaining is clearly mexican or jeet.

My question is, what gives? What is it about poe2 attracting third worlders to seethe so hard? Because when I look at POE1 it's literally the same shit

it's just a shit game ranjeet you don't need to babble for half your miniblog about race

>>534361401
when there's downtime between leagues this general turns into nothing but autistic shitflinging.

poe2 is a pretty good game in isolation
poe2 is an extremely shit game when you consider its made by the developers that made poe1
pretty simple mohammed

shant be reading that

>>534361401
You know how sometimes you get a really blocked poo and you have to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze to finally get it out but when it comes out it tears your arsehole and you can't sit right for a few days?
That's basically the story of poe 2.

>>534359558

what I get the items I need then I hope to farm more div so i can buy the same item but 1% better roll
Just all so pointless
All the builds do the same shit, whole game is very unsatisfying to play
not touching POE2 for a long time because running maps in that shit just seeing the same 4 bosses and the same shit mobs

I get the autism but im just tired of it
rather play a game with less RNG and more actual mechanics like devil may cry

>>534361401
Don't worry, this is a typical cycle of hate and love for the game. These same people will worship game in the next good update
The only thing that matters is that you like the game.

>>534361932
crafting and slowly increasing your power is 90% of the game. if you're just waiting for lucky drops so you can buy some other fag's hand-me-downs you're doing it wrong.

poe should have mechanics that bind gear to your account

>>534361401
I'll give you my own perspective. It's not necessarily shared by others, but this is why I dislike PoE 2.

1. It competes with PoE for development resources. GGG has a small team that work on both games. Any time spent on PoE 2 is that much time not spent on PoE.
2. GGG went back on their promise to have one game, two campaigns. They claimed they didn't want to split their player base, yet here we are - split.
3. The game plays VERY slowly compared to PoE. Movement speed in itself does not offer meaningful friction, but instead makes everything take longer for the sake of holding you back.
4. Crafting is completely random. All the problems that were essentially solved with PoE are now re-introduced in PoE 2.
5. WASD-movement feels like an afterthought.
6. Gem restrictions mean that I can't support main skills of my choice in the way I want.
7. Chris Wilson left the company in 2023 because he realized that neither game could fulfill his vision. When the main mind behind the game leaves, that tells you a lot.
8. Build diversity is almost non-existent as evidenced by Lightning Spear being dominant.
9. Melee characters get shafted again.

Just off the top of my head.

Hey newfag, they delayed the game a whole fucking year just so they could make it fit all the attack animations. Its the best version of the mechanic in any arpg style game.

alri la

Only jeet retards like WASD, althoughbeit

>>534362819
I think you misunderstand, mate. I don't care about that. I care that PoE gets fewer resources so I can keep playing the game I love. If you want a slow game, enjoy. PoE 2 is your deal.
>>534362856
I have more hours in PoE than you. Just sit down, kid.

So I didnt misunderstand anything at all.

>>534363002
Oh I see that explains it, you're confused and talking about a different game. Try installing path of exile "2" if you want to use WASD.

There is no real dopamine to be had from LE's crafting at least for me. Chucking Essences and Fossils at shit is more enjoyable than having a mod go up a tier so even below 50D, 1 still wins over LE. LE still dabs on Poo 2's "crafting" though.

I wish PoE 2 was just slightly better so that there was at least one good thing about it and I could coax people into snafus. It's so bad that no one can even pretend there's a single enjoyable thing about it and thus these threads stay dead until the paid shills are reactivated.

Low IQ post.

>>534371462
1. Positioning and risk. Melee chars need to get close to deal damage, meaning a higher chance of taking damage in return. Ranged and caster builds can deal damage from a distance allowing them to avoid immediate danger. Melee chars must endure constant threats while trying to land hits.
2. Boss mechanics. Many of the boss fights in PoE " involve complex attack patterns or area denial that can be hard for melee chars to avoid. While ranged builds can use their mobility to stay out of the boss's range.
3. AoE damage. Melee chars often struggle more with AoE-based encounters since they're typically up close to mobs and have a harder time avoiding environmental hazards or large scale damage bursts.
4. Mobility issues. There are mobility skills in PoE 2, but many of them require a resource cost or specific cooldowns. Ranged and caster builds can sometimes get around problems with their ability to kite or maintain distance, whereas melee chars are forced into the thick of things and rely on limited mobility options (like dodge roll) that might not always be effective against faster or teleporting enemies.
5. Weapon reach and targeting. The reach of melee weapons can be restrictive. For example two-handed melee weapons often have slower attack speeds and smaller attack ranges, meaning they need to reposition often, especially in high-density or moving combat scenarios. In contrast ranged builds benefit from attacks that can reach much further with fewer movement requirements.
6. Defensive limitations. To compensate for the risk of being up close melee chars tend to stack defensives like life, armor or block. Even so these defenses fall short against elemental damage or certain endgame bosses. In contrast ranged and casters have flexible defenses, including shields and mobility, giving them the edge in terms of survivability.

This is more of an in-depth answer than you deserved for being rude, though.

Merc league was actually pretty bad. It's just that it had been a year since a poe league so everyone compared it to 0.2 instead. PoE2, as we all know, is poo, which made merc league look good. A year for "what if T17s but not really" plus 2 free auras league.
0.3 will be shit. At least Titan Quest is fun.

Poopturds unironically thought this was good game design. Reminder that GGG said they were going to make it less retarded and then they did nothing and abandoned the league kek.

>>534373902

>>534374405
>we want to slow the game down

>>534373902
It's pretty concerning. Wisps and Rogue Exiles in 2 are just as dogshit. They even "buffed" both in 2 and they were still unusable garbage so I doubt GGG would've been able to even fix Petals in 1 even if they tried. It's pretty concerning that we haven't gotten a single good league mechanic since Affliction.

>>534375056
>It's pretty concerning that we haven't gotten a single good league mechanic since Affliction.

Trade feels like cheating
Both games are a joke unless you play SSF

>>534376341
I trade with my friends or if a build absolutely can't function at all without a specific item. Seems like a fair compromise to me.

>>534376562
Just play whatever you want, man. Most of PoE is a single player game anyway. Don't let faggots on here dictate how you play to have fun.

>>534376341

>>534376978
Incorrect, playing for one week every 3 months leagues are balanced around trade. The game itself isn't.

lmao

>>534373902
that's exactly what will happen in 0.3 after the second week when they pull the devs back to poe1 for 3.27

Enjoy shit patches and cut content for both games for the foreseeable future as they scramble to allocate resources appropriately.

>>534377690

Not every game has to be for me. However, development of PoE2 took away resources from PoE1, which understandably made people who like PoE1 and dislike PoE2 unhappy because they went almost an entire year without leagues.

Finished the first act of Poe2 and man it was good. It's like I'm actually playing a real game and not Poe

>>534391683
they moved towards 4 month leagues years ago, idk why you would pretend otherwise. and the same shit happened for 3.0 so it's not like it was unexpected.

>>534390393
phrecia wasn't really a league it was just something they threw out in 2 weeks because the poe1 fans were raging so hard.

It was a year between settlers and the new league afaik but why would you count the start of settlers in your math. It was probably around 9 months between leagues if you're honest

>>534392436
phrecia wasn't a league because mazed newfags expect every league to be a massive tentpole event. half of the leagues poe has had have been phrecia sized or smaller.

>>534392428
No they didn't you fuckstick nigger. You can look at the length of leagues in the wiki. They were 12 and then 12 and an occasional 15. Never was there a period of time where they were "switched to 4 months" except just now. Fucking kill yourself you gaslighting retconning piece of shit get the fuck out this thread and chug motor oil

phrecia was a league because it was based
season of the hunt was not a league because it was bad

learn the difference

leagues have challenge rewards
phrecia wasn't a league
