Got bored at work and was looking at support gems. Holy shit now it makes sense why they didn't preview any of them.

What in the fuck are we even doing here guys. No one will ever use any of these, just pure wasted dev time. I gave up after red gems, didn't even get to dex/int. Good fucking christ.

I feel pretty good about things after the interview Ziz did today.

Most of what I like about Path of Exile 1 is split between two things. I really like all the tinkering and experimentation you can get immersed in through a wide-open game system full of interesting interactions between skills, classes, items and even the league mechanics themselves. The other thing that I really like is blasting maps on a character that does all the shit I like a character to do while cranking through one audio book after another. When I set myself up for the grind to level 100 and 40/40 for Settlers of Kalgur I was just tearing through one book after another while stacking fat cash from "there's no fucking gold here why bother" Heist contracts on a zippy one-button high quality of life Locus Mines/Power Siphon Trickster. When I was out of contracts I was doing Betrayal card farming for the first time. Blast blast blast. Faster maps more cards.

Jonathan likes getting kicked in the dick starting with Act 1.

Typically my frustration with online games stems from a lack of understanding. League of Legends, for example, never made sense while I was playing it. Balance seemed to be determined by a dart board sometimes and skin sales other times? No clue. PoE2 is the way it is and got worse with 0.2 because this is the game Jonathan wants. Message received loud and clear. There's zero overlap between what you like and what I like so I can safely stop giving a shit.

Yeah, that's how I feel as well.

It's clear that autismo has no idea what makes Soulslikes fun. It isn't punishment for punishment's sake. I know that little hobbit probably likes to be a sub, but that isn't the point of Soulslikes at all. The fact that he has a fundamental misunderstanding of their nature says all that I need to know.

I haven't watched the interview, I'm not sure I want to. There seems to have been some palpable uncomfortableness. Plus, I'm not sure the world's largest Keebler Elf is trustworthy. I don't know how many good leagues need to be delivered before that's reestablished.

Quick! Name a support in PoE1 that no one uses. No references, from memory.

(This is admittedly a disingenuous question as supports no one uses will fade from memory. But I thought it interesting that I couldn't think of one. And I spend way too much time cooking up builds.)

Woolfio played that in 3.22 through 3.25. He might have a problem. He's also paradoxically super autistic about trying niche stuff but then being low effort about it.

Your turn:
pinpoint

Archmage Ball Lighting stuff as soon as the Archmage changes went in a league or two ago.

Yep, looking forward to 3.26 and I hope it's no later than mid June, we'll see. Haven't logged in for 0.2.

No huntress changes? Game is trash. These people are so far off base to what makes this game fun. Poe2 looking like a crash out.

It doesn't matter. The entire meta is going to be lightning spear-chuckers on Rhoas, smiths and a couple ED/Contagion Liches.

They said we'll get the reveal end of May so that sets up 3.26 for week one of June.
Reveal? Did they explicitly say that word? Or are you interpreting something else like "info"? We got info on 3.26 back in January.

May reveal is too early anyway.

Can't trust Reddit for shit


So let's go with "teasers in May." They get this off the ground any time during June I'll consider it a win.

What I got from the interview was that it's not meant to be the pace 0.2 launched at for sure.

I don't mind the slower pace of its similar to 0.1 end game (not counting the broken builds). If this was a baseline reset to add buffs into thats fine with me.

Lots of players want more PoE zoom speed and thats fine as well, but I dont think they will ever make that switch.

Easier act 1 and 2 should be fixed though, you feel pretty worthless until act 3.

The pace would also be better if shit actually dropped so you could increase your power level. As it stands, you spend 10 minutes slogging through a zone and literally nothing drops so you pray that when you portal to town the vendor refresh from your level up has some decent shit. People don't wanna farm loot via getting levels and vendor surfing.

In a ARPG the best access to loot early is…check the vendors. Also once you hit end game the best access to loot is…check the website that’s not in the game.

Nothing is wrong!
