Bro we were just hitting normalization with poewiki being the first result in Google on search terms and then that faggot fextralife and all these other garbage tier sites ruined everything. At least i had a chrome extension that would redirect away from Fandom to poewiki on poe1 but search is garbage with poe2. Also when looking on youtube the OGs never come up (kripp, Jung, ziz etc) it's all new people with mostly horrible takes.
Don't got anything for youtube, but modern browsers let you hotkey search forms. So, I hit ctrl+t and start typing, that's a google search. Ctrl+t, w, tab, whatever I type goes to wikipedia. The poewiki is p + tab. I never use google to search any website I frequent.

PoE2 has a bunch of issues. But this is like a 5-6 month testing ground for this kind of stuff. The "Yeah but I paid $30!" shit is stupid because no one tricked you into playing EA AND you get the $30 in credits for the actual Poe2 1.0 launch for whatever the fuck you want.

Game has a lot of rough spots and if you don't like it, quitting is definitely an acceptable answer. I'd say come back in 2-3 months whenever they probably do EA V2 and smooth out some stuff. Or come back even later when all the Ascendancies are out.

Pointing out this is 50-75% of a game right now isn't critical thinking, it's very apparent. Thinking that because of the state it's in, 3 weeks after EA launch, it'll never be good or D4 is better or whatever is beyond naive.

If you don't like it, don't play it. Come back later. Your account isn't going to expire. I've got two 90ish characters and 500k kills and I'm pretty much done until the next patch. This 2 weeks "hands off" period was actually a good way to figure out what's "OP" and what's just "good". You see people doing Pinnacle bosses on gas arrow? Not so much. Arsonists? Absolutely not. All the "OMG THIS TOO GOOD" shit was found out to be "good enough" and that's why they need long unmoderated periods of testing. The early CoFreeze nerf may have been premature, but they probably checked the numbers and went "oh shit" because something like 40% of the top 1000 characters were all Stormweavers using it. They only nerf shit when it seems like the only option to play. I'm sure Archemage is getting fucked, armor is getting buffed, Grim Remnants getting a timer, and mace skill speed probably getting upped. But that may take 1 week to 2 months. Just gotta dip in and out as you feel like it.

Pfft Arsonists is old hat, Frost Mages are the new hotness!



Really though, if you don't feedback shit decision are shit you get stuff like PoE2 decisions where they just ignored the fixes PoE already made to those decisions. I immensely enjoyed my time, but you gotta call it out. On the plus side, so many people getting eyeballs on trade may finally force them to do something about that shit decision.

Odd thing Settlers league in PoE 1 prohably had the most melee starters in a while. I guess they were trying to throw a bone to melee early on.

Doesn't work on Windows 11 for many people (myself included)

The snipping tool is there, and Ive set and reset the hotkey for it a bunch and just cannot get it to work.
Not being able to easily take snips of code for clueless coworkers sounds like easily the worst thing posted in this thread.




Where's my triple backtick for code quoting, Teams?

Depends on your perspective. I don't think it's coincidence that the split of opinions in this thread is almost completely poe1 vets vs tourists.

I'm not poor, I have no problem spending money on games for the right reasons. I've given GGG over $1400 because I felt like I was directly supporting a game I really liked. I stopped supporting them in 2022. Again, not coincidence.

So, for me, it's not just another $30 to buy a tab that I already have in PoE1. It's $30 plus the years of half-baked shitty leagues we've gotten. Frankly, I should expect the map tab to transfer.
so, I think my last league was late 2021 or early 2022. Then I briefly came back in 2023. I was a near religious player for 2017 until then and fairly frequent player 3 league a year type prior. Agree.

Also, whenever Chris starts defending something I immediately want to quit the game.

Also if Win 11 is still giving you issues with the shortcut for whatever reason download this program. Its amazing. I use it to make documentation for work.

I started using a couple of frost mages with my Reavers. I did it for the tight corridor issues where your minions get stuck. Would love to see this person's build just for comparisons. I know he is way past me on gear.
