I actually was surprised when I looked it up, but NZ entire population is just over 5 million people. I read somewhere they don't do any sort of remote work at all either.

It's not an apologist hot take. People with hundreds of hours in a game asking for a refund is one of the most brain dead things I've ever heard.

What you could’ve said is, “I think people who spend over X hours in a game don’t deserve a refund.”

That would be an argument. Instead you ask me how much time I’ve spent, I don’t answer, and you come back with “hundreds of hours”.

I prob have 30 hours in the game. Much less than “hundreds”.

Even then I don’t mind the game being incomplete. I mind that months into a game “currently being developed” there have been no developments.

I don't like that there are no new developments. I also think I got more than my money's worth and buying a game early that will eventually be free is a crap shoot.

People crying for a refund here and other places are babies. You knew exactly what I was getting at, why I was getting at it and that the logic was sound, that's why you dodged the reply. People here have hundreds of hours in so, without any evidence and your obvious dodge, I chose that. Sorry if that offends you.

Okay I know I'm one of the few who still plays this almost daily, at least for a few maps.....can.anyone tell me how to get more than 1 or 2 breaches in a single map?

I have been using nothing but breach stones in 3-5+ tower areas and I still have never gotten more than 2 in a single map.....what am I missing / doing wrong?

Pretty much done overall but would like to at least do the +4 Breachlord before I stop playing.....I'm sure it is something dumb that I'm missing.

You making retarded arguments doesn't offend me. I was just pointing out how retarded it was.

According to AI...

To get more than one breach on a map in Path of Exile 2, you need to focus on the "Crumbling Walls" passive skill in your Atlas, which gives a chance for a map to contain additional breaches when activated; essentially, the more you invest in this passive, the higher the likelihood of multiple breaches appearing on a single map.


I have never tried this so take it for what it is worth.

Got it, so I guess I have to combine my splinters and give Xesht a go.....been putting it off until I level just in case I get ganked.

He was easy at difficulty 1 when I did him a couple days ago.
I think my Invoker was lvl 86 at the time.

Think I'm around 75% through 95, wanted to get to 97 but that seems like way too much grind, will probably level between today and tomorrow and I'll give it a shot this weekend. I have beaten Arbiter, though not all difficulties, I think I should be okay.

I’m still playing because I suck, I didn’t play poe 2 for years. I’m learning new things all the time, this game requires a fuck ton of information and that information can literally save you days or weeks.

At this point it’s basically research for future leagues. For example one of the first things I’ll do after upgrading my weapon is go for that unique mana flask holy god that thing is amazing, running lvl 28 ice shot without inspiration and just hitting that thing like mad because it instantly restores all mana and refreshes crazy fast.

I get a bloat of random articles with no details when I search it myself, so I might as well ask here.

Have they said or gave any indication that they are going to do a season? I recall hearing "something" was supposed to be released to be this month but nothing has came down the pipeline in my news feed.

They released a laughable "Look at all the stuff we did since release" recap for already made changes that also had like 4 lines on what they plan on doing next at the very bottom. But no release timeline at all.

When they first came back from the holiday they said they were gonna do the bug patch(which they did) then a balance patch but then they realized no one would come back to play again for just a balance patch and basically done nothing since due to poe1 revolt

Yeah I am clueless when it comes to Game Development, but it would have been better if they really did have 2 completely separate teams. I'd have no problems jumping back and forth for each new update.....but seems like they only have one team that isn't able to work on both at the same time.

Phrecia sounds like it could be fun, just wish they added some new content for it, even if it was just untested throwaway stuff they never used. I don't count the strange idol change.

I decided to play this again doing meta build twink leveling before poe1 comes out. I wish I hadn't played TL:I. so much QoL they do makes you realize how much stuff is dated in poe. For example just the leveling stuff. TL:I is practically a straight line through leveling, smoothe and brainless. While poe is convoluted pick up items, turn them in, go back to town to progress, find the exit in this pseudo rng generated map nonsense. Honestly they can throw pseudo random out of the campaign, it's dumb and useless.

Then there's the inventory. Why are we still playing tetris inventory games in 2025? Is this a survival realism have or a fucking arpg. I want to interact with my character quickly and efficiently. I don't want management overhead. The focus should be on collecting loot and determining if it's an upgrade/sidegrade for your build. TL:I colors the affixes, and numbers them to T0 (T0 being kind of like a corruption mechanic mixed with an awaker orb mechanic), in very discernable font type. Crafting and rolling exactly what you want is a breeze (probably a bit too easy if I'm being honest) but you're back in the action immediately.

Not to mention everything drops ID'd exact uniques. And that's find because you know what it is you can just sell it un'ided for a gamble kind of like watcher's eyes.

I also really hope they polish the new gem system and the accessibility of finding what you need. Like why are there two tiers of support gems? Seems unnecessarily convoluted.

That said the campaign still remains one of the better things they added in POE2. Can't wait to play POE1.

I wont say ever but seems like they are gonna have a hard time actually getting 2 teams put together. It's not like they havent been trying and still woefully under staffed with a city population of 1.6 million, a country population of 5 million and from what I gather a no remote work policy

Late to this party but finally started playing this, ran out of other shit to do i guess.

Tons of fun, but some shit are def completely out of whack.

1 Portal per map? That has to be a fucking mistake, why even have checkpoints if you can't fucking die once? Seems like a complete design failure or oversight.

Ascendancy trials are tedious as a mother fucker, but honestly not the worst thing I've done in an AARPG. Once you juice your honor accordingly it's trivial.

The checkpoints weren't even always there from the beginning. They added them later due to the ass layout design of the maps until they can unfuck map layouts.

Still completely worthless if you're one death and done on the map. Makes zero sense at all.
