Act one is probably the quickest of them all - probably takes 30 minutes roughly. The zone layouts change, but.. not really. Especially if you're not going off the beaten path to get the passive bonuses from shit. So you end up going from boss, to boss, to boss in quick succession. Which is especially timely if you're so good at dodging their mechanics that you can still kill them when you're under leveled and under powered, respective to the upgrades you get along the way.

If you really think about how much we've learned about the game, what works, what doesnt work, what defenses to build and which ones to completely ignore... I cant imagine anyone that went through the early release cant get through acts 1-3 relatively quickly. Though, 2.5 hours is still booking it - on a mission type shit.
Yeah I haven't actually tried, but I do know my monk went through WAY faster than my warrior, though it was also twinked a bit.

If the update with wipe ever happens maybe Ill try to rush through just to see what I can do on a fresh char. Though I won't be skipping the extra passive skills or resists either. (Not sure if they were taken in the race)

What the fuck? I keep starting Chaos runs and then having the screen freeze 4+ stages out and I get booted out. That above all else is why I cannot stand the one attempt crap. YOu pay for it when their game fucks up.

OMG another teaser! GGG is spoiling us so! Just imagine what will happen when they announce the announcement of announcing release date of the trailer announcing the announcement of the patch announcement live event. The whole company turned to fucking shit years ago. It's mind blowing to realize that Chris was the one who kept things running more or less the right way. Johnathan is a chink dick sucking closet homo who couldn't run a free lemonade stand and Mark is just a cuck sitting in a corner waiting to slurp up the cum

Teasing a new ascendancy, wondering if any new classes will be released in the actual reveal vid since they are keeping things "under wraps".

For those of us that have been dipped out for too long, this nerd summarizes the shit pretty well. I have no idea who he is.

Aside from braindead running a few maps for an hour a few days a week, pretty disappointed overall with the pacing of updates. The current teasers haven't given me any confidence, either.

Will check the video out when I get home.

One would hope the way they phrased the latest teaser that they are "teasing" the ascendancy addition, but keeping the bigger content additions "under wraps", leads me to hope we at least get 2 new classes along with new weapon types.

Really shocked that as an ARPG it didnt fucking include swords from the beginning.

Youtubers, that guy I linked and the little red headed dude think the handful of words they can put together means "Gladiator" and "Templar" along with "Swords".

Was hoping for new skill gems, but I guess ballista totems are already in the game?

I wonder of the other missing ascendancies will be in, seems like there's an obvious missing fire sorc one.

I've been having freezing and kicks regularly in PoE 1 and 2 since I upgraded to a new computer in early January, go figure.

The fix was, wait for it, to run in a VPN.

Haven't had a freeze/kick since.

I bought this on ps5 a few months ago and then completely forgot, probably should play it.
Any tips or suggestions other than “play on pc”?

Dont build armor. Build Energy Shield > Health. Yes, even if you play a tanky build. Bigger EHP pool has to be big as hits scale and armor doesnt keep up even remotely close to being useful. Keep resistances up. Use an OP build if you dont want to get your shit pushed in at end game.

Lastly, let someone invite you to the guild (pretty sure cross play works regardless) and use the weapons/gems/etc. in the bank.)

Biggest tip is enjoy the ride, the campaign is pretty fun the first 1-2 times through, once you reach maps do a few of them then uninstall.

You'll play this for 500 hours and realise it's the worst and laziest game ever made.
