They are notoriously terrible at not overnerfing shit, so I wouldn't trust the "offset" part at all. You can more or less expect anything dominant currently to be thoroughly nerfed in 1.0, with new overpowered shit taking their place. A couple of things might slip through the cracks...

The website Path of Exile 2 has some info that I think wasn't in the stream I think, although I only quickly watched stuff. Specifically I was interested in the classes reworks, Merc can now reload ammo constantly when not equipped so you can swap ammo instead of reloading, Chayula gets a...

Yeah I usually mute the tab instead of the stream and it works fine for me(Firefox). That said 8hours is ridiculous. It does last longer than usual since it's a convention (36hours total) but it's still a long fucking time to afk streams. The only good thing is you can afk the main stream which...

Preorders are up, in case you're leveling chars and want to get an upgraded xp earring(gives bonus xp up to 100). As usual, GMG has a discount if you preorder there, only works for non-Steam version, it's 18%. You need to have Bronze membership though, if you've never used GMG before, they...

Slopes were nevr an issue for me, in fact this game has the dumbest "climbing" since you can sprint up almost anything, feels like the 89° angle goat meme. That said climbing on stuff from water? Yes absolute dogshit, literally cannot get out of the water and die because strong viking is...

The prices nosedive like a week after, and by that time you'll likely still be very far from finishing your casual gear set. I don't know doesn't make sense to me, the new "casual" gear just looks like capped tome gear which was also casual gear, and crafted was lower than that and it made sense...

AF gear hasn't been relevant for a few expansion it just replaces 99 dungeon gear and leveling/AF will be the same since they're precap. Uncapped tome gear is very likely gone, if they're taking out poetics and capped tomes, no reason to have uncapped tomes. They might have AF fill that role...

Reddit summary of an interview released recently too Notably Duty Roulette consolidated into fewer categories(I assume merging some of the dungeon stuff, maybe raid/trial roulette merging and such), crafted gear is actually between the casual and raid gear which seems a bit weird as there would...

Not actually passed (only passed one of the steps), and the tax is on the companies sending content to french users, basically Netflix/Google/Amazon would pay that, not the french consumers. Obviously that'd eventually include price hikes for french users so eventually it would likely come back...

My guess is crafting sets will be the same as the casual sets for completing the battlepass stuff, but instant unlocks. I assume they might also remove overmelding entirely and instead the whole second upgrade with crafted material will replace the gold making opportunity from crafting sets for...

I still used melee a fair bit at first as magic depletes really quickly early on, that said for the boss I relied heavily on magic cause meleeing the boss sucks ass. Once I got to Ashlands I started using magic more because everything fucks you up in melee without a proper melee build anyway...

They announced an october release date then like a month later said "no haha that'd be crazy, actually we'll release in march". So for now the 1.0 date is march, exact date later.

The armor yeah, I finished the game with just the pants(of which I found 2 copies), didn't find the rest but also couldn't be bothered to care at that point, armor upgrades are stupidly small for casters(I would have gotten from like 180% magic regen to 200% which is a big whatever). Weapons...

There's no way it's anywhere close to even the current BDO version which is like 1/10th of the time it used to take(plus nowadays you can even just buy a ship directly on the market, although iirc not that many get sold cause it's kinda not worth the max price with the stupid crafting time and...

It comes following them basically getting review bombed, rightfully so because they used shitty AI to upscale the graphics and it leds to some weird shit(main example I've seen ppl post is one of the general's face which due to coloring AI interpreted as a metal faceplate so it looks like a...
