Who missed sextant blocking?!?! It's not quite the same, but similarly tedious.



My concern isn't that you must do sextant blocking. GGG probably isn't stupid enough to also bring back the reward levels of the sextant blocking era(or maybe they are, lots of people griping about sustain in this thread). My concern is that objectively shitty mechanics are getting resurrected. Are we going to see a return of elder/shaper rings?

I cannot make sense of the same company instituting a partial in-game AH.

So many things in this game are proving to be 1/2 baked dogshit so anything to help remove tedium for the sake of tedium is good. Fuck running dogshit maps to set up good ones what a truly awful design. If you are American Inventor rig the bad ones to not even have to bother then more fucking power to the players.

These lazy dick American Inventors need to come out with at least a feedback post or something because the longer it sits in silence the dumber these fucking faggots look.

I like the idea of towers, tablets, and infinity atlas but in practice itsnot amazing. Hell, if there were more hidden rewards/nodes for revealing more of the atlas that would help instead of just "find Citadel_xx". Also nodes like Blooming Fields, Augery, etc are complete ass and I do miss the old days of loading up a tab of the maps you enjoy and going to town on them for a few hours.

Not really sure what we can expect out of GGG at this point. Last Epoch has some pretty nice features that are different and more modern than things found in PoE1. But instead of copying those (like reforging potential and crafting, or the skill system) they decided to copy arguably the worst aspect of LE. The end game. The atlas in POE2 is almost a 1:1 ripoff of the Monolith system with slightly more control. It's just.... not good.

It's obviously a placeholder, and we'll see what they do with it. But the atlas map and randomness of it feel terrible over extended periods of time and are something that will turn people off when thinking about coming back for seasons/leagues and sticking around.

I was surprised they didn't have a "What we're working on. Maybe?" post for their Monday.

Not copying LE's best ideas is a puzzling choice. There are parts of PoE1, PoE2, and LE that would make for a truly awesome game.

The biggest head scratcher of all time in this genre, for me, is that nobody has ever copied Grim Dawn's Monster Infrequent system. It's essentially kill based crafting and it's fun and compelling to interact with.

I hit this weekend the maps and oh boy does the atlas looks like some gay chinese gacha shit.
I'm not saying PoE1's was the pinnacle of design, but it didnt look that cheap.

I can only hope that the current mapping system is so shit because thats what they could scrap together in time to hit their early release date. That's my copium and I'm sticking to it.

Do minions builds scale as well as raw damage builds? Like a sorc is scaling to one shot everything, but I have 14+ minions all doing their damage and if they aren't all hitting the same thing at once they may not be one shotting?

This has the exact same effect of just blasting through the bad map to complete it for real.

Yes Mist.... you could just do the shit layout you hate, complete with backtracking and hitting switches and other stupid, time consuming shit. Or you could just put a white T1 waystone in that shit map to open it, not even portal into it, and block it from getting tower juice. One is time consuming, annoying and frustrating, and the other takes about 2 seconds total with no frustration at all.

Yeah I would only really do this for Augury and maybe Vaal Factory.

PS: How many people have died while flipping the lever in Augury more than once?

Blooming Fields is terrible. Don't mind Augery as much (I think, if I'm remembering which that is). There's one other above ground map that is a total clusterfuck with pathing, Z-axis, and asshatery.

How/where do I get the Atlas skill points for the specific events, like Rituals, Expeditions, etc?

You need to get the boss invitations and do them on incremental difficulties. You can also just pay for a carry.

How do I install a loot filter, might not be able to run it on my Xbox but I can on steam and my ROG Ally correct?

Also had retarded luck, ingenuity and head hunter belt dropped and then I created this nice bow.IMG_9245.jpeg

Equipped the ingenuity got 10 divine for the headhunter and this bow gets offers at 6 all day long but I’m sketchy and want to try it out on the ranger but he’s only 72 and the monk is so much fun.

Also super mad I didn’t know someone on the forum was named brother wu, wish I could change the monks name.
