I'm trucking along on ED/Contagion after bailing on minions night one (gas arrow still did a lot of damage, I could have stuck it out) and it's a pretty good couple of buttons to press given how aggressive mobs are. Curse aura nice, curse pops are alright, the chaos totem is a solid extra button to press against bosses and tough rares, no complaints. I started Cruel this morning and the campaign difficulty is all downhill from here. I'll finish up the campaign and do a little mapping but this isn't really going anywhere. ED/Contagion is even pretty satisfying when it chains all over the place. It's all just kind of a slog with an endgame that I don't particularly care to interact with. Everything I didn't like about 0.1 is still here.

If they're going to continue to delay patch notes, conceal new gems and the changes to existing gems it's going to make a lot more sense to skip the launch and wait a few days until the community has settled on what feels alright to play. Going in blind with a "let's try some stuff out" mentality feels really bad in this game.

Kripp saying that the update feels like it was rushed out last second.....motherfucker that makes me so salty I can't stand it. Putting my boy PoE1 on indefinite development hiatus while they continually fuck PoE2 up is the worst thing to happen (to me) in gaming since I wasted $90 on fucking Diablo 4.

Also his comments about the loot - lol what the actual? An ARPG is about power fantasy and loot, and they are screwing up the whole thing.

If you want to play an ACTUAL souls-like ARPG, No Rest for the Wicked is having a game revamp on April 30 and looks fantastic. I am totally going to pick it up.

Hey we don't make jokes at someone else's expense, think of Deathwing's feelings? He's already named after a character in a pozzed franchise.

I got my drop rarity up to 100% so starting to get some lv2s now, actually have one spare. Need more Jewelers Orbs but they are starting to come too.

Takes 21 hours to finish half the campaign. Dies 35 times. Posts to brag.

Nobody can be this stupid without intentionally trolling. Therefore I call for Amod Amod to come to us in our darkest hour and at least give us POE2 players a brief respite in retardation.

Well shit let me get you some salt for your salt. You see that people are tracking down old PoE2 videos?



They not only shelved Path of Exile One but they used the time and energy that gave them to fuck up what they had already made and presented to us.

Look at how fast that Huntress moves. White mobs btfo.

Just got done watching Force's latest review. Breach update looks massive. Definitely on board after it drops.

Not to mention, pet peeve of mine. People that take a phone pic of a computer program that supports screenshots, not to mention windows does as well.

Beat Jamanra NP using lightning spear or whatever, still toom way too long.

I did get a better spear afterwards and been doing pretty decent in A3 so far but my overall gear is terrible. Anyone at endgame able to at least let me know if it's in a better state?

Not looking forward to doing all 3 acts over again at this point :(

Was watching quin in t1 maps earlier with a pretty good spear on Smith of Kitava (supposedly one of the best ascensions atm, at least for HC?), it looked so unfun.

Been a while since we heard about The Vision. RIP Verant and the EQ Vision.

That was a funny video lol.

Sad to see people using their OP 0.1 builds on standard failing Maps. Great balance.

its funny to see reddit suddenly coming around to what I said about the missing movespeed and movement skills.

And I also say it in terms of the "combo gameplay". the concept is fine. its the implementation that is just total balls.

Flamewall, with npcs that are too fast to actually make use of the added damage to projectiles.
lighting warp, only being able to be cast on ball lighting, which is shit, or a culling enemy. and it was nerfed this patch to only cast shocked ground, when cast on an culled enemy...
all the supports with frustratingly stupid interactions required to get 10% damage out of them, for one skill.

More travel costs on the passive tree. and the complete inability to actually build for anything, without having to make massive sacrifices and build entirely around it.

cool!. consumes mana flask charges to buff damage on that ONE specific spell.. except, gearing and passiving for mana flask recharge is prohibitive. you have to build entirely around it. Also, it only buffs that one skill, thus is anti-combo.

every cool support, or build idea you have, requires too much focus to balance out any tradeoffs.

It's been GGG's motto for a while now that EVERY SINGLE THING in their games needs to have a downside.
