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 was hoping that the gear that I used as I leveled would get placed back in there after each person uses it. But I feel like morons are melting that shit down when theyre done with it instead of putting it back so other people could use it. But its whatever - I still put some things in there from time to time that I think are good. Farmed that Kett Scarab for a bit and that put a few pieces in there.
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 ne
I'm glad... and, .. sad? that you guys have finally reached maps and can see what I've been complaining about for a week now. I can play around the mechanics, and .. I guess thats fine? But I dont think its necessarily fun and its made me fall off from the game quite a bit. There are just too many effects that you can avoid by just not being in the same area, and if you are - like was mentioned about the ground being on fire - the ticks are just so extreme in damage, or the mechanic itself thats easily disguised is just a one shot mechanic.. That I dont even want to be in the same area after I clear a pack. I just dont think that clearing shit "off screen" is good game play and.. its like this company thinks that THAT is the difficulty curve.
Life, Armor and Evasion, and three to four resists on every piece of gear.. just so I can counter the constant negative resists.. which limits my build, and forces me to use the most OP build that lets me kill the most shit off screen. Its not fun and the only thing thats been pushing me to still do it are the pinnacle bosses. I just want to kill them, but Im losing steam because I'll still be doing everything Im supposed to and die.
Some fucking mob with 70% run speed boots jets across the fucking screen to my character and does something that I cant see because Im standing on a pile of corpses... so I dont even see that he puked out a fucking one shot mechanic at my feet that spreads all the way up the tunnel to the edge of the screen on the opposite side. Oh, you think you're safe running backwards to the other side away from his corpse? Fuck no. You're dead to that one shot mechanic you cant even see, your key is wasted, and you lost all the exp you gained in the last hour. Fun.
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.

The entire fucking spreadsheet for character stats is God awful. When I hover over a stat, I should see a list of everything that is effecting that stat in a game like this. Whats worse is that there are stats that arent even listed on the spreadsheet. What the fuck.
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.
Ive got mixed feelings towards the game. Just feels like they designed a new way for combat to work and then filled in the rest of the game with everything that "saves time and money." Game is leagues better than something like D4, and thats great. But that wasnt a very high bar to pass?.. Everything past the OG campaign is just "mid" at best.
Divine Orbs popped off for some reason.

Lord, I have a ton of Divine Orbs. I was abusing Exalted Orbs I got as I leveled and that was enough to get me through the curve so I've been broke for a minute now.
