I logged into PoE 1 today because I had a mystery box left I never opened. Got a decent character effect. Anyway the few minutes I was in game to see how it looked it really stood out how much smoother things werwe not to mention the speed of my character which is a fast character but it was like wow turbo speed lol.

I only got on the waiting list for the event.

I was actually hoping the slower, methodical combat from early campaign would stay through the whole game. Figured this way both games would have their place, but no, pretty much all successful POE2 builds are zoomy / full-screen clearers.

Now that I beat Arbiter on monk, I switched some stuff around to try out the meta "charged staff" build. Basically put thunder skills on Herald of Ice, and Ice skills on Herald of Thunder. Damn man this made maps like 500% quicker not to mention way safer. Wish I knew the reason behind it but yeah this is night and day from what I was playing and with zero gear upgrades.

Got Xesht +3 or whatever down so I have all the Breach skillpoints, could push for +4 but the +3 kill had a few close moments so it's risky.

Figure I'm probably done for now, don't see much point progressing the other bosses. Arbuter +1 was easy but seemed to make more sense to sell the keys short term.

All I need is Astramentis to finish my build which likely isn't happening.

Looking forward to full release, won't be getting to 3 days played again though unless they have an amazing league or a good game trade system.

Is it true for the uber with the maze you can just exit to char select and when you port back in you're at the boss? Read on reddit but would be awesome if true.....though I guess it wouldn't work on the last difficulty with only 1 portal.

Haven't done the maze one from Ritual, got two or three keys but they sold for a lot of divines so did that instead.

In POE1 yes, but Chris bumped the wrong thread so if you're talking about PoE2 I dont know.

Yeah think it was poe2 but could also have mixed up the reddit threads so who knows.....

Charged staff feels like a cheat code, once I get 5 power charges and use it shit just explodes. I dont even have a crazy crit chance or DPS, imagine it only gets crazier as dps ramps up - if Monk was a class in POE1 I'd never play POE2 again, lol.

We announced last week some unfortunate news regarding the timeline for 3.26.0 for Path of Exile 1. Coming out of that we have adjusted some of our internal resources to be able to provide you with some content to fill the time until that expansion arrives.

To start with we'll be running a one-month event that has some of our whacky ideas that never quite made it off the brainstorm board.

What does Path of Exile 1 look like when the nineteen Ascendancy Classes you know and are familiar with are all of a sudden replaced by a different nineteen? What does Path of Exile 1 look like when you get to play a Witch and ascend to become a Harbinger? These are the questions our design team asked each other and in this event will provide you with some of our answers.

We'll release more details about this content soon but we're really looking forward to seeing how the community reacts to some of our more unhinged ideas.

There's more to announce and we'll keep you updated as we know.

They really should've just opened with this, and they could've avoided all the negativity. It doesn't take many people to slap something together considering they only had a handful working on the last few leagues anyways I believe.

Yessir. There is a universe of difference between "we've got nothing for you and no timeline for when we will" and "here's some experimental shit we had on the back burner while you wait."

Gives you an idea how negative the response they got actually was/is.

Fuck this piece of shit achievement. Who records voiceovers that the players can only experience for a small fraction of the campaign?

I've leveled up so many characters, it took me 7 attempts to rewire my efficient leveling routes. And it wasn't relaxing, I had to pay attention 100%, like I was playing PoE2 again!

I tried that once and failed. No idea what I missed. Never again

These don't seem consistent:
  • Players meh on necro settlers event.
  • Players (spitefully?) hyped on pohx's settlers event.
  • Players hyped on indeterminant quality developer spitball event.
If it's about a fresh start, you can always play ssf or just delete your stash tab contents(yeah, a bit tedious). If it's about a fresh economy, I really can't relate to that as the economy is the worst part of this game. And furthermore, the necro settlers event should have provided that anyway.
