rofl I finished on my Warrior melee build today too. My fitbit was like "warning high heart rate while immobile" or something. Shit was intense. I do feel this game was made specifically for how melee is playing it. The balance feels well rounded and progression feels decent. I'd change some things like double inventory space so "crafting" (IE picking up all good bases while mapping) felt better. I wish armor was more useful, would be nice if it counted toward stun threshold, especially since even as a strength stacking warrior I barely break 3k life.

Kripp kind of goes over exactly how I feel about the SSF experience. So far I've only bought a few 1ex items to get me to resistances and trying to get my str up. Everything else I've found and "crafted".

Yeah I was way overleveled on my warrior, and once the guild put a few extra honor resist relics I killed him in 2 hammer of the gods, but that wasn't a legit fight since I was probably 15+ levels over the Djinn.

This one on monk was a nail-biter, actually pretty fun although stressful.....he did the burrowing ability and I thought I was done, got so lucky, haha.

Melee is really fun overall, until something you don't see kills you and makes you lose the juicy map :(

The worst is getting body blocked as melee. Like not only do you put yourself in harms way, but then you have to deal with wind up animations, stuns, and body blocks.

I am not really shocked that this is plagued by RMT, dupes, exploits, and general gayness. Trading in this game is already ass so fuck it. I am going to give solo self found HC a go and see if I can achieve Mist Mist levels of misery.

I think that this is the reality of pretty much any game that has an online component that is popular.

I do like the way Last Epoch had the Circle of Fortune and Merchants guild set up, basically a trade league and a SSF league. I think the trade league had massive dupes and exploits each time even then that basically destroyed the market before it even got started good.

As long as people are willing to spend money to purchase online items, RMT will exist.

I feel like once an exploit or game breaking issue is found, it will be abused enmass until a patch fixes it, rinse and repeat for each league. Way too many people are going to be playing this title for the RMT and bots to not have a massive presence in trade league.

If they just get rid of the 3+ different ways you get punished on death I wouldn't even care that much, but the body blocks and stuns are pretty bad at times. Hoping they at least give us 3 portals if they don't want to keep the bonuses on each map on failure.

I think I've had enough. Finally reached my first citadel after 400k kills, lol. Fought Doryani, Sun Temple, and Viper Bitch boss at t16++. Still haven't farmed a whole Simulacrum but that place looks like it sucks anyway. Not interested in roaming around to find two other citadel types. Might make another run or two at Xesht 4 to try to beat it, otherwise I'm out.

Fantastic way to waste a whole month of my life though, great game.

I used to play exclusively personal SSF in early PoE, but eventually realized how stupid it was, as explained eloquently by Kripp in that video.

I am playing trade league in PoE2 currently, but still haven't bought anything. And still trying the crafting route.

But I may have been broken tonight.

Get a rare with amazing 4 affixes for my summoner/caster. Slam 2 exalts on it, get accuracy and increased armor. On a caster base. Fuuuuuuuuuuck that.

Also, is Increased Stun Threshold the new Light Radius for epically wasted affix rolling in general?

Also - I was not aware of the increased effects in SSF in LE, I may have to start another character on there!

I have yet to see a perfect jewelers orb drop. The drop rate on them is beyond fucking aids for something that is so required.

Anyways I saw you animals had pissed away all the 12-13-14 Waystones I had loaded up a few days ago so I threw a bunch of extras of those I had tonight after running a couple of maps. Feel free to go tarded on them.

well, you could just corrupt a 4 slot gem with a vaal orb. even if it's level 17 or 18, you can still upgrade it's level after it's corrupted. Grab 4-5, quality them all first, then hit them all with a vaal orb and hope it gives an extra socket.

If they all brick, try again.

Why when my luck hits is it just two uniques instead of something useful? Although the belt looks like one of the more useful uniques from just a useability standpoint. If it had more charm slots it'd probably be a cool item.

Way too risky once you factor in the cost of the greater jeweler orb, GCPs, etc. It's only a 1 in 8 chance to hit +1 socket.

The better way to save some currency is to search trade for the skill you want a 6L for and buy someone else's successful corruption. Probably varies widely by skill gem, but I assume skeletal snipers are still one of the most in-demand 6L's and there's a bunch of them up at 2 div.

Got to maps. Game tells me to complete the campaign. Thought it was complete! HTF you know what you missed?

Also...what level are you supposed to complete those four trials? Think I did two.
