Path of Exile 2

I mean, thats been POE in a nutshell for years. Except the disparity between the top players and the plebs was never this big. Or maybe it was but the bottom never felt this bad and always could get some shit going. THe problem has always been the "knowledge" of the game, or should I say the wisdom. The faggots that live in this game every league just know more and will always have the ups on the plebs. And then, yeah, add to this the fucking rangs and the $5 a day they are making on RMT youre gonna have a fucked up market. Then on top of all this you have the streamers and their dumb followers that HAVE to play the same builds, which leads to masses of items being twitch inflated too like the whole mathilification of the market. Its a whole big mess, lol.

I mean even the dad gamers had scarabs and while it was useful to have the extra map device slot it wasnt required or could be carried for relitvely cheap. Now juicing is gigantic pain in the ass, isnt obvious on first glance and a lot riskier thanks to one death maps.

So yea you can MF spark all day on juiced maps or you can ??? which makes the gap bigger and bigger. Combine with Rarity being required, drastically reduced "premium" currency (divine) drops or targeted sanctum farming, zero crafting, and a trade site out of control you have far less build diversity, people scared to play OP shit cause it could be nerfed next week instead of next league, and with an entire class being pointless (warrior), and multiple useless ascendancies it strangles it further. There's far more work to be done on this game then I think even they thought. People aint going to be spending for MTX on this garbage and I hope they will pay for a few more PoE developers, cause that game is going to have carry the load for atleast a year or more.

I got my Hexblaster to T15 and after my chronomancer boss killer decided I had enough, maybe ill give it another go with a major update but likely I am waiting till next PoE 1 league.

Well they got their ~ $30 million payday for the EA launch, so hopefully that will be enough =)

Dont even have the drive to do a second character at the moment, I still need 3 more T15s to complete the atlas and even getting one has been a PITA. And since they aren't common for me, I try to juice it and end up bricking the map so I have to find another one.

I should just use a white / blue map for completion but then the drops are garbage. They need to revisit either having multiple portals, or at least make the bonuses stay after death......currently with the xp loss / loss of mats / loss of bonus activities it feels WAY too harsh.

The current atlas is also pretty fucking terrible, though I did enjoy the journey to maps quite a bit.

The 6 portals should just consume one on death the same way going to town does instead of bricking it. Seems like a simple non-dick to consumer play they could implement without much difficultly.

That's how PoE1 works. Just without the mobs resetting part.

Although that's also an assumption based on the campaign, since you don't get a 2nd chance on the maps at the moment.

Guild bank request. If you take an item, put it back. But delete three shitty things in the process. The "jew belts" tab had a white amulet in it...

Don't do that. If everyone lifts up their end of the couch, we can have nice things to lvl alts with

Ya people need to stop throwing garbage in the bank. Pulling a few of worst body armors out of a full quad tab. If a body armor requires level 50+ and has 40 life, no spirit, and 20 something resistance it isnt worth keeping for fucks sake.

Let me know what waystones I should put in and Ill save to add, never know whats needed. Should I just place white only in tiers 9-13?

The amount of "broken" builds currently is staggering.

They're going to have to think about how much power they want people to have. Is killing a 32million hp boss in 5 seconds okay? 10 seconds? Where's the limit. That's their call to make, but honestly some of those +4's are a kill or be killed kind of deal.

I think the real question isn't how fast can they kill a boss, it's how easy is it to SSF/low currency trade to kill a boss that fast. If it takes you 3 days played to be able to kill a +4 boss in 30 seconds, that's fine. If you come out of the campaign with SSF gear or 10 ex in tradables and delete T15 bosses in 2 seconds, that's probably not okay.

Shit like Jungroan's lightning build is a classic PoE noob trap. That build looks cool, but it's shit. It's a duct tape and string build worth a billion divines that does some memeable thing (which it won't next patch I'm sure) and it has 0 defenses. It goes fast and blows stuff up, but not even that much faster than builds for less than half the price that also have defenses. It's just eye candy for casuals.

I'm not sure if I want buffs to low end stuff, nerfs to OP stuff, or just the QoL stuff put in first really. I'm playing some mid level shit so I'd probably not benefit from buffs or be penalized by nerfs, so maybe just a fucking waystone tab and an artifact locker would make me 20% happier.

Been too busy enjoying the game to read a hundred pages of complaints. This is the best early access game I've ever played and easily one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played. Any additional content is welcome, especially fully fleshing out the skills and classes, but the moment-to-moment experience of combat is the best in the ARPG genre for sure and highly addictive.

Curious. I've played 2 flavours each of Warrior & Monk, Spark Sorcerer, Grenade Merc, and tbh none of them are fully floating my boat. Still to try Ranger and Summoner (witch).
I'd like to know what you're playing that's giving you this "best combat moment to moment" experience you speak of. Perhaps I'm just playing the wrong game.

Given that the developers could get a handful of turbo twats to sit around all day testing the limit of everything they put in this game they are complete fucking dufus American Inventor faggots for not checking this shit ahead of time.

The real problem is 90% of the playerbase ends up stuck playing checkers while Timmy McNignog is playing 4D quantum chess with earning Elon musk levels of wealth. They could of had a ceiling on where they wanted DPS to land but apparently the Ching Changs wanted their return on investment now.
