https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/4013680 If I'm reading these correctly, aura stacking Luminary, where your merc provides you a flat aura that you abuse, is completely untouched. Well, maybe not completely, merc might need some defense.

Seems more like patching a core design issue instead of fixing the core issue itself(boring maps, too many waystones). Hmmm, that feels familiar. Maps too big? More checkpoints. Too much backtracking? Sprinting. The "purely optional" response is used in discussion of Kingsmarch mechanics...

Perhaps I misinterpreted your original point. What did you mean by "tying it in with QoL"? Arbitrary's post said it better than mine. If they can avoid that feeling, good.

The QoL with Kingsmarch mappers and shippers was never the issue. They were uninteresting mechanics that use mobile game incentives to keep you playing instead of actually interesting gameplay. Has that been addressed or are you going to be incentivized to login every so often to direct your...

I hope that's where they end up. The passive tree pathing puzzle is one of the best parts of character planning.

Kingsmarch was one of the worst PoE1 leagues, even if you discount it lasting almost a year. It's a shame they're deciding to reuse this mechanic.

Claims from the same idiots that removed life from the passive tree but left %ES for multiple leagues in a row? Or is there a passive tree preview somewhere? It's concerning much footgunning is going on in PoE2.

If they have a design space problem with crit chance(they do), it definitely needs addressing. I think this was the worst way to address it. The passive tree in PoE2 was already way too weak and this makes it worse. Player power was already skewed heavily towards items and this will make it...

Got its second DLC today. It's not exactly the same as most games posted in this thread(Vampire Survivors clones) in that there's no player power meta progression. There are unlocks. Which, I'd argue is a positive since it helps preserve build diversity. The original developer is no longer...

I honestly don't know. It's a fair question and I don't know why I'm not more insistent about sticking to regular working hours despite being sick of it. I've become more non-confrontational as I've aged and I don't like letting others down. Off hours work is often catching up on stuff I feel...

I'm still working through a significant backlog from the merger. None of our testing infrastructure worked with theirs, so I'm having to reimplement most of our test suites. We just got attachments back last week, after more than a year without them. Imagine diagnosing failures with the...

Yes, sometime during standup, but often during weekly meetings.

We do the typical two week iterations, retrospective, and planning. It is on me to request work that can't fit to be moved out of my iteration, I need to do better there. Can AI be useful here? Quick and medium(like the two in my previous post) verbally communicated tasks get recorded as 1-2...

Work harder, not smarter. I could use some advice, books, youtube videos, whatever. I feel like I've been compensating for a lack of....high level?...organizational skills by just working more and more. At least a couple days per week, I'm pretty much working all day outside of eating and...

I would really like to see some substantiation as I'm dubious of meaningful overlap.
