If this is my first time playing, and I want to just fumble fuck my way through the game without any guide to start, am I utterly fucked if I decided to change things up when I hit end game? Or is there some kind of full respec option, so I can unfuck things?

There is an option to respec for gold now that may as well not even exist. The gold cost is so hilariously ludicrous that you'll end up needing to use regrets anyway. Full respecing in this game is not ideal and I would never recommend trying to play this game blind. It's not a good experience.

So to answer your question, if you decide to fumble fuck your way through the game you probably won't even complete the campaign, to be honest, and if you do then yes, you're entirely fucked if you want to actually respec into a character that can actually tackle end game.

Yeah but you progress by playing the game and getting upgrade gold from kills, not arbitary timegates you pay to skip.

It feels pretty good. Not seen a single complaint.

M first play through I did glacial hammer and made it up as I went. Made it to about act 7. I almost never died. Of course it took forever to kill anying. Finally gave up and followed a guide.

My dude is done now I think. Just in time for the vaccation to be over!

I zoom through huge density T16 maps and shit explode screenwide. I'm 97 now and once I'm 98 I think I'm done and try for some T17s and Ubers etc.

Whats the easiest T17 to clear for map slot?

Anyone ever use this? Seems very inflated in my case. Says 2 divines per hour and many multiple divines overall.

It seem to count everything and you wont be able to liquidate evreything it lists. I mainly use it to find high value stuff in my stash so I can dig it out and sell it. Also tried Bulk Selling some stuff with various success.

Is this auction house doesn’t go core I may never be able to play poe again. I’m still adjusting to how I do things because of how much qol this shit has been. Just one example last night I wanted a pair of gloves was negotiating with the dude and realized damn I am just short. Normally I’d be like well guess I just wait for the next one but then realized hang on I can instantly sell whatever crap I need to and get the money immediately. Game should have always been like this

I never much used the currency market. I'm on my second character. Sold off all the stuff listed in the link above I had no use for, especially at low level. 2 divines.

The one time I used it before today I thought I had enough chromes to recolor an item. Was low and instantly got the few I needed instead of sending umpteen whispers. This was very on and I didn't have much of anything.

Ya sure, I think that's what's disturbing is they took a cell phone game and made it 'free' and it's the most popular league eva...

I don't hate it either, but do find myself wondering why this is more popular than a more skill based playing based mechanic. Are the well documented addiction properties of this type of time gated 'game' what's driving retention? Ironic to wonder in an industry that's really only about addiction, still interesting to discuss why it's so popular compared to others.

I haven't even touched the kingdom shit yet, think I have around 500k gold and that was after messing with a few early respecs / selling some random stuff for some chaos and buying a few scours / vaal orbs.

Even if the town-building stuff doesn't come back, I'd hope the in-game trading stays since it really has been huge for me even early on. Should be able to get my first 2 voidstones this week along with the maven 10way map slot. Going to try and actually get all 4 initially without paying for the maven void stone as well.

Taking it slow with limited play time during the week, but having a much better league start than I did last league.....hope I can keep my motivation at least for another month or so.

So the frostbolt Frost Nova am build. It seems powerful except when my arcanist brand shoots Frost bolts in the wrong direction. Pretty much following I think goratha's build. It also seems a little bit soft tank wise. Does this get better? I can't seem to figure out where they get a massive amount of defense past that from.

I dont know about Frost Nova in particular, but getting suppression capped made a huge difference for me......it halves your incoming spell damage which prevents a lot of one shots.

I went from 90ish to 100% and noticed a huge improvement....I'd assume all builds want to go for capped suppression but I could be wrong.

Probably a suppression issue if you're following Gorathas build and feel squishy. Goratha is a HC player and just doesn't make squishy builds. Check his notes section in the PoB. He always puts good info in the notes

Are people loving the league mechanic, though? I don't really know. I don't care one way or the other for it, it's just part of me playing just like every other league mechanic. I do it as I get it but don't go out of my way to interact with it.

Uhhh, why is your arcanist brand linked to frostbolts? Is the one you're doing not a kitava's thirst build? I haven't looked at any non-kitava ones so maybe it's way different but relying on arcanist brand for frostbolts doesn't seem like it'd be very enjoyable to me. On my setup most of my defense is in the form of leeching + mom (50/50 split with node and ascendancy) + just good ole fashioned killing stuff faster than it can kill me a lot of the time. Most of the builds on poe.ninja do seem to be stacking suppress but I don't have it on mine nor do I have the funds to buy all the stuff i'd need for the setup most of them use.

People love the league and like the league mechanic. Usually people love a league but fucking despise the mechanic. This is the first league mechanic since I've been playing (3.19) that isn't complete ass in some fashion to interact with.

I guess gold upkeep is minorly annoying? It's nothing like doing 32 fucking maps to complete a Sanctum and then failing it at Lycia, for instance. And Sanctum was one of the less shitty mechanics.

I'm at about 50% spell suppression Right now with barely any on gear. That's one of the things I'm working on now. So if that's one of the things that makes it feel tankier that's good. Although it seems like it's melee that's f****** me up course. I can't tell if that's physical or not.

As for using arcanist brand, I just don't have kita va yet
