Im not as near as good at this game as others in this thread, but 2 major things helped me out a bunch.

If you havent already raided the guild stash, do so. The weapons you can get from there will prob double / triple your dps. Also, get movement speed on your boots. Those 2 things will carry you through the campaign.

I need to raid the stash for a crossbow for serious (*edit okay found one I'm going to steal for a second to test out) or just spend a minute looking for one to buy for 1ex. Still using a level 16 one at level 54 in Act 2 Cruel :p

First time I've seen this effect drop for me, seems like it should have a place and be okay? Not sure.

I'm out until this patch hits. I ragequit after dying to purple fucking crystals spawning after killing a rare in a tight confined hallway. Of course I couldn't see shit because of my flamewalls and a million minions spamming their firebombs. This kind of shit is making me want to check out completely until they add new stuff.

For some reason Chris "Wolcen" Wilson wants people to meet up in game, see their hideout and shoot the shit for a sec. And since he is the head honcho around GGG, what he says goes. LOOL

Reminds me of the SSF discussions way back in the PoE1 open beta. The SSF thread was the most popular thread on the Forums by orders of magnitude, but CW et al ignored it for nearly a year. Not one post. Chris finally said somethin very close to "We have no interest in SSF gameplay at GGG" and that was that. Thread withered and died soon after.

I wouldn't be surprised if CW privately thinks SF players are retarded (unless you get "paid" to play). Trading has always been one of the Core Pillars of their design, and fair enough, at least he's always been brutally honest about it, among other things like an Auction House.

Given the bad luck I've had so far, and how pure RNG the crafting is here, fully embracing trading is the only thing that makes sense. Not sure how I feel about that yet, it was the reason I stopped playing PoE1 several years ago. Probably going to buy a new weapon (god knows I need one), and see just how dirty I feel...

Thanks for the waystones* in stash, took a tier 7 and was able to clear it. Xp was damned good too but the drops were pretty shitty. (I didnt add anything to it bc I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish it.

Still really hate losing xp on death especially when trying the 3rd Ascendancy trial but at least it moves pretty quickly.

Just started doing maps, but this...is fucking retarded.

I'm having to play in a very unfun manner. Basically, clearing a pack, and then either running in a different direction, or waiting 5+ seconds because inevitably something will explode and one shot me, ending the map completely (I actually had one where shit was still exploding like 20 seconds later, no clue why). And things like bridges or narrow passages now? That's a big oof. Just shoot me now, because I don't wanna get stuck near that death trap.

How in the world was this the version of mapping that they settled on as being good? Holy shit.

Here I thought the decision for campaign to make everything respawn and delete loot was bad.

their map prog design seems like a giant step backwards. one of the highlights of PoE1 and their maps/zones were how well the were made. each had their own flavor. cliffside? was a single path cliff. sewers? rooms with tunnels between them, etc. Every map HERE is just a fucking maze.

How do I find out where I'm getting hit with -Cold Resist? Did I take a Passive I'm not finding that nukes my base resist? Based on my equipment I should have something like 20% cold, but I guess since I'm Act 2 Cruel I have built in -X% resist? I know someone posted a chart earlier.

If they removed these shitty fucking death effects from the game it would instantly make it so much better. That shit is so fucking retarded it's amazing. Like I can get the super telegraphed ones like those bloated ones that take like 5 seconds to explode after dying but instant death effects are fucking bullshit. As if playing a melee wasn't already cancer enough.

I hate dying stupid, and its already become reflex to just roll away from anything I kill. It feels like half the npcs blow up after death.

I used my regals and exalts to self-craft my way to the end of the campaign. Didn't start trading until maps.

I actually think crafting-while-leveling is way more "viable" in this game than PoE 1, offset by the fact that the game is legitimately hard even with good gear.

More anecdata. I love it: "It was good enough for me, experienced POE1 player, therefore it validates the system's existence". It's like POE players are plugged into the Matrix.

what are you saying here? not sure if you're liking it or hating it

i'm a poe1 player although i've fallen off the last couple years, but I think this game is better in every way even at this early stage. Really hope the criers don't convince ggg to veer away from the path this game is on and just turn it into poe1. I have pretty much zero major complaints, just some minor stuff that everyone else is completely melting down over. wasd is a game changer, I started backing away from poe1 cause it destroyed my hands.

The crafting system is miles better than poe1. PoE1 was serious autistic aids. An in game auctionhouse would be pretty fucking neat and close the gaps enough that I'd say the system would be pretty good. I'm not gonna be here holding my breath for that, though.

After Death effects is my least favorite thing in PoE1, and the purple crystals are top of the list: I've died more to them than any other effect in the game recently.

I've found the slower pace of PoE2 makes the after death effects a LITTLE easier to avoid. HOWEVER, the details in the graphics make them hard to see, along with every other ground effect, especially poison.
