Man... I was enjoying Warrior. Started a new one because I fucked up learning how to move those skill crystals around and fucking deleted one. pfft!
I guess I didn't make it far enough in to see this Honor thing y'all are talking about?

Which was the case in Sanctum league. That league launched almost exactly two years ago and would see changes when it went core to be less shitty for melee. I guess the PoE1 bros at GGG weren't sharing notes with the PoE2 bros jk get fucked melee.
The statistics guys also didn't tell the PoE 2 nerds that Sanctum and Ultimatum were the least run mechanics.

I'm at fucking 30 hours and on the last map of act 3.
I am pretty sure I am level 36 and fighting the gorilla with the big column. And probably similar time in game, prob more. Edit - 61 deaths, 22 hours, level 38, midway through Act 3.

Dont fret. That graph that was earlier is pretty spot on. The Cruel difficulty is anything but. Booze and I face tanked mobs because our abilities were never off cooldown. Went through chapter 2 in around an hour. Feels like they didnt balance Cruel at all, and there are a BUNCH of bugs at the end game - so you can definitely tell it still needs some love. Bet the Map thing in the "End Game" chapter ate at least half a dozen waystones of mine - and Booze had a few eaten, too. But I get it.. I get it... Early Access..

Hideouts are definitely in the game and you can unlock more once you are mapping.

Are any of the old hideout cosmetics in game? I haven't had any time to play since Saturday so I haven't gotten to maps yet. I need my celestial nebula hideout.

Oh well for fucks sake. Im letting myself down on the vendor checking. Monte Zuma' motherfucker has waystones for sale for anyone looking. zzzz They're base line. But you can waste materials on them and upgrade them like a piece of gear. Limited supply though.

When I first went to my hideout it made me choose which one, but now I can't seem to change it. I'm probably not far enough into the game to really have one I'm guessing. However, when I was choosing, there was one standard one, the 2 I got for buying the pack, and then 3 locked ones that I didn't recognize. However, I don't believe I ever bought a hideout previously, so I don't know for certain if they exist here. But it seems the free ones from before haven't been ported over yet, if ever. Which kind of sucks, because the Luxurious one is kind of cool for a free(?) one.

P.S. I am sure sick of every fucking range mob in Act 3 throwing poison damage. I have the charm, but it is annoying AF. I am working towards Mind of Matter and Eldritch Battery anyway because Energy Shield seems sketchy at best.

Almost all my cosmetics and decorations aren't available. It's mostly the new hideout stuff that's usable.

Hm had some weird micro stutter lag starting up today as I got into act 3 jungle area, at first I thought it the area, game ran smooth the entire weekend, but seems a lot of other people getting it too... Early Access Bug Reports - Continuous Stuttering/Lag Despite Stable FPS and Internet in PoE 2 Early Access - Forum - Path of Exile Taking a break and hoping they can fix it soon.

As for my minion/chaos build, got tired of having to double cast essence drain/contagion/sometimes curse and offering, so switched over to one button fireball(unleashed/scattershot/ricochet soon/extra projectile proc passives)/srs spam with hellhound/arsonist aoes.... blowing up entire areas feels so much more satisfying. It's really nice being able to respec with gold.

Maps are way too big and still an annoyance, need to cut some of them in half.
Also another minor annoyance having to go mass identify stuff at hood, then salvage table to salvage for sockets and quality gear, and then go to vendor to disenchant rare gear, then sell blue/white gear, be nice if that was all in one place and not four different ones. I suppose it'll be a smidge easier with filters running for gear pickups.

Was about to call bullshit. The beach when I first got there was insane with about 500 crabs all shooting shit at me at once. Settled down since then though.

But then...I don't particularly want to play through all 3 acts again. I think I might just put this one down already.

Got to finish act1 finally. Pretty fun game, though I do rage a lot when I just get swarmed by mobs and I cant roll away or move and just die. The final boss of act 1 with the little phase where its in a little circle surrounded by fog and spawns a a lot of mobs, that push you around while he charges through the screen, wiped about 5 times to that, adds just overwhelm me and couldn't roll his run through. Had to pick different move and try to focus the adds at start and just later when its more.

Might be I am playing monk like a ranged with the glacial cascade thing. So I dont get combo points to bell unless I go in melee range. And cascade needs ranged to land that final big spike for big damage, not be close.

Massive game crash after a melee attack. Screen pulsing, multiple voices and buzzes from the speakers. Scared the shit out of me because my PC never locks up, and I haven't had a game crash like that in years. Afterwards even my browser was flashing and flickering. Graphics card settings had been reset. Had to reboot. That was on DX12. Going to try Vulkan.
