You'll get to a point where 6 affix map shouldn't be an issue, and you'll want to try for 3 prefix with rarity, rarity/quant, and + rares. Also you'll want them for towers to put 3 tablets and citadels where 600% waystone chance gets you at least 3 fragments
I have played this game a lot. I feel like I understood some of that.

Two questions from someone at a few 100 plus hours played (fuck Chris)

What on earth is that accept trade button on controller. I have had more than one trade leave, simply because I try to initiate it with them, so they can accept...because for the love of God, I cant figure it out.

Second. How in the F do the corrupted Nexuses(nexii) work. I'm farming tier 9 maps and stuck on complete a tier 3 corrupted nexus.

Made it to maps and not really inclined to keep going....I probably will at some point but my gear is pretty bad and I've only upgraded my weapon on the trade site.

My resists are in shambles and I dont have the exalts to buy any uogrades.

im losing my patience fast. likely outright done.

the body blocking, the chip damage, the interrupts. frostwalls blocking you in. enemies/walls pushing/glitching. the constant loss of player control is frustrating.
bosses that don't stop attacking non-fucking stop. no downtime, no openings. just constant attacking. 20 minutes dodging/running constantly. look up they have 90% life still because they are also HP sinks.
too much visual clutter.

cooldowns on skills.

The entire game is built on damage stacking and 1 shotting everything, so you don't have to deal with any of the actual mechanics.

You have to go to what they are trading to you “so you don’t get scammed” and the push down a and hold it for a moment.

I would have paid money for silent spectres in PoE1.

I'm trying to finish up the campaign and it's so hard to make progress. There's no loot so I'm checking merchants each level up and

this pops up. It's not insane or anything but every single decent item I am wearing has come from a vendor. I'm picking basically everything up. I'm using transmutations, augmentations, regals and exalts. Everything is still from a vendor. I don't get it. After an hour of no loot I just log back out and do something else.

Don't get me wrong I haven't experienced really any slow downs just some weird "features" the bit I have played so far. Defiantly a lot harder than PoE1 but tbh I don't know how hard PoE1 was at this stage in development. It is nice to just chill on the couch and play PoE1 or 2 and I don't find the controller that much of a hindrance as it would be in an RTS for ex... Starcraft 64 10/10 game!
Actually, that is a really good point for a wee bit of perspective: the fire witch in the first zone and the ice guy in the first side zone were pretty rippy in PoE back in 2013 or so.

Jonathon is big on making it his game like one he wanted to play from way back in D2 days or whenever it was. May just be that Jonathon and I don't like similar games.
Jonathan is a cunt. You don't need to get all philosophical about it.

How's the new patch that cut mob Hp by 25%??? is it making a difference? I'm holding out hoping they do the ONE THING that everyone is asking for: better loot drops.

I mean if you use Lightning Spear like myself and everyone that got baited by the new class I guess it's fine, but overall loot still seems to suck.

(Granted I'm just getting into T2-4 maps so hopefully it gets better, but so far I feel like .1 wins in terms of drops.)

You know on second thought this is starting to feel like they're gearing up to make this pay to win. They're likely courting buyers if I had to hazard a guess.

Courting buyers? They are already owned by Tencent.

Lightning Spear is fun. I just try upgrade weapon when I can and everything melts during campaign.

End of Act 2 Cruel right now and having fun still.

Parked the Lich Minion Cuck due to minions still feeling pretty crap. Vaal Guard Spectres was fun but you cant really see shit when they bomb the screen

They really need to nerf the end of act 2 boss.

The game difficulty is fairly even from beginning to end...except for that one boss that is way harder than anything before, or anything after.

I always manage to kill him, but he's way harder than he should be in my opinion, especially just for a campaign boss. I don't mind end game bosses being hard that's the whole point, but 1 boss in middle of the campaign just feels weird and frustrating.

The only reason I am willing to smack my head against that wall is because I know the rest of the game is back to normal difficulty and fun.

Lightning spear looked fun. I considered trying it out, as I also am not having all that much fun with the weakened minions, but with LE coming this Thursday, I just figured I would take a break.

Doubt Lightning Spear stays this way after the next patch. It's very much against their vision. However I doubt they nerf it before 0.3.0

Are you guys just dry firing Lightning Spear and ignoring the frenzy mechanic completely? Depending on Volt support instead? What about single target?

I agree Jamanra could use a nerf. He does too much unavoidable damage. I went back and looked at my 0.1 characters and they all relied upon now-nerfed builds to trivialize single target: Cultist Hammer and pods, Orb of Storms and Lightning Rod, Concoction skills.
