If you have a portal to town and log out. Log back in later a significant time later your portal is still there. Like an hour.
Shit, dude. I was at a2 first boss when I logged out. It put me right back there when I came back 12 hours later.

Am I to assume that wolf boss is too soon at 15?

Anyone free to help with this boss before I rage quit this shit?

After sleeping on it, my opinion is risk/difficulty: reward ratio is out of whack and needs tweeked. Don't mind the ramped up difficulty but the drops/rewards just aren't in line with it. Killing a boss and getting a shitty blue and no currency is asstastic and kind of demoralizing after the first dozen times it happens.

Back to the ice bitch today, adjustment is going to focus more on using cold snap when frozen and grind a couple more levels and gear until I can get +1 or +2 to cold skills.

This shitty ass game. They REALLY need to fix the early loot. I am using lvl 2 gear at lvl 17? With no currency or drops to make shit better. I KEEP getting shit I can't use or is just shit off bosses. Sucks I can't play the class I want at least a LITTLE the way I want.

The end boss of Act 1 or is there one earlier?

Act 1 boss main thing is dodging out of the attack where it vanishes then drops like a meteor onto you. Start rolling when it vanishes.

There's also an intermission phase where there are adds and boss appears out of nowhere and dashes at you, preemptive rolling seemed to do the trick there.

I didn't think it was too bad but ran out of potions on first attempt.

I finally got my 1st Ascendancy done and some upgrades. My minion build is now working, I just need to Git Gud for bosses sadly.
Any tips for that?

I missed the PoE leagues where they had this mechanic to the point where I was surprised that taking damage reduced my honour and kicked me out.

Still don't know what the holy water does.

I swapped my entire lightning stormweaver to frost spec, and it's retarded how overpowered it is.

I was melting packs but struggling with bosses, now I'm zooming with ease. Lightning skills really need a buff compared to this.

this is what i swapped to if anyone is having any trouble on sorc, this is pretty much the only viable path.

Oh I got a regal, oh wait regal shard blah. I gave up on my ranger, you get skills and supports that really don't do a lot for each other early on. I wanted to watch a video on a mini boss to see better what was happening. Oh yeah someone had a minion build and they stood still the entire time while multiple minions surrounded it and after a few, dead boss. Like they had him trapped since he was chasing me down and the boss didn't move surrounded by minions.

When you get a chance, double check permissions for the guild stash. I can't add or remove anything. Found a decent two hander with attack speed and +1 melee skills someone might want for early game.

That ascendancy trial is AIDS. Mark that up as another shit feature. Basically made it to be a no hit run.

I've also noticed I stopped looking at most loot. It's all shit anyway. My buddy was like "oh a chest over here" and I just keep running though the map ignoring it.

So am I a retard or what? Why can't I transmute a normal ring (white) into a magic (blue)? I get OPERATION DENIED error from the game.

But the trans highlights the item as if its applicable.

EDIT: It wouldn't work in the dungeon for some reason.

yeah, get alot of white trash.

I wonder if the loot is tuned with the fact only 1/3 of the items are in the game. meaning, they don't want you killing a boss and getting 6 staves and thinking thats wierd.
so the other loot is in the table, just disabled. any spears, swords, etc that should be dropping, are taking up the slot, and not actually dropping.

That still means loot is still way too rare though? It being diluted with other shit, or that shit that you can't use not being there are effectively the same.

I have to hard disagree with that suggestion for act1 - arsonists absolutely slap, and anyone playing skeleton sniper and warrior ( other than the free one off the mace ) is bad and should feel bad ;p

ghazzy changed his take

I am loving it.

my main complaints.

yes. adds, and getting overwhelmed in a few of those early fights.
many fights feel almost like bullet sponges. they just won't die.
first ascendry trial requires not getting hit. thats retarded. if I have full life, don't make me fail. its rally stupid, and must make some builds really hard. melee...

hit detection, and ground markers are often really bullshit. so many fights, attacks, get hit by some aoe that is 20% larger then the visual. stupid rocks falling from the ceiling and you can't tell where they are going to land in the 3d isometric. stupid silver gorilla in act3, with his slam which hits 20%outside the visual, and has a projectile thats basically invis, and totally unexpected. There is alot of this BS. they need to tight up the visuals versus hit box. and this is on top of the same problem from poe1 with so many spell effects you can't actually see the hostile ones.

bosses don't stop. just constant attacking. hell, im playing freeze sorc, so I get some time, when I freeze them periodically.
some kind of mana bar or something for bosses..

debuffs aren't really easy to read.
what even is the orange bar under the enemies?
A couple more things I forgot.

1. locked into place when reading lore blurbs. almost died to that shit a few times.

2. new skill gem system is actually worse for respecs. need to farm and get lucky with drops to swap out skills. remembering which you already have in use is not labeled well.
can't just open up the screen at any time and read which skills exist. you can only open that screen when you have a support/skill/spirit gem in hand.

3. tab affinities. charm, runes.

4. feature. gamble enchant. bring white item to have enchanted. so you can pick your base.

5. a use for low level uncut gems.
