Good enough to live the gamers dream, I think

# tranquil umbra they will come with classes

yea its just dumb imo. It was a really weird move to release early access without at least somewhat of a base (I know they were heavily pressured influenced to release it fast though

fossil mural
#

I mean

#

2 more ascendancies

#

and the game will have like

#

400 skills

KEKL

dusty mesa

like this is repeated a ton around here, but the poinst stands: what arpg doesn't have swords on release kek

also fuck evasion all my homies hate evasion

Wake up, Exile

whole bluff
#

For the record, I don't agree with all of Marks points. But my guess is he is a having a big positive impact on both games

fossil mural
#

does anyone even play traps in poe

#

pulsar dune
#

yea

blissful zodiac
#

unless for bossing

fossil mural
#

like what was the last time it was at least semi popular

blissful zodiac
#

no

tranquil umbra
#

Fire Trap RF

#

true

blissful zodiac
#

@tranquil umbra didnt they nerf fire trap

finite quail
#

Traps are quite mid though, except for maybe bossing

blissful zodiac

its like

tranquil umbra

explosive trap was/is decent ithink

normal hedge
pulsar dune
#

oneshotting bosses with ice trap, early game bossing with sunblast memes on explo

blissful zodiac
#

why the fuck would you use traps

fossil mural
pulsar dune
blissful zodiac
#

when you can use mines

fossil mural
#

at least mines you manually detonate

blissful zodiac
#

double damage mines are fun as hell

#

@fossil mural not anymore

finite quail
normal hedge
blissful zodiac
#

cause u got automation

fossil mural
#

yes

finite quail
fossil mural
#

thats manually

#

detonating

normal hedge
#

thats deffo not manually

fossil mural
#

you dont wait for the dude to step on it

finite quail
#

No, automation is literally automatic detonation

tranquil umbra
#

I'm fairly certain they will add mines to poe2 at the same time because not doing so would be fucking stupid

finite quail
#

Manual detonation is pressing the detonate mins button yourself

normal hedge
#

manually = press D

fossil mural
#

mines are confirmed to not exist

#

in poe2 lore

blissful zodiac
#

you really on manually detonate mines anymore unless you need some burst dps

fossil mural
tranquil umbra
#

ah right we don't have mines but we have guns

fossil mural
#

bruh you all know what I am saying

fossil mural
blissful zodiac
#

that poe 2 still needs more time in the kitchen

excuse you

otherwise it can be fun

btw poe1 2d art for swords is fucking

what is ts

fossil mural

ts?

tranquil umbra

tornado shot?

dusty mesa

tranquil umbra
#

yeah that's on you for playing ts in big 2026

dusty mesa

I haven't played TS in 2026 or 2025 Sadge

still the best bow skill

dusty mesa

I am considering it though

tranquil umbra

no that's kinetic ra-

normal hedge

thats a wand attack

fossil mural

kinetic rain will be a spell in poe2

dusty mesa
#

I'm so mad they made KR and said "hey this is gonna suck when it comes out btw"

split maple

Anyone got some minimum viable pob for ts?

well, idk actually

fossil mural

I want omni back

it was so simple

brazen vector
dusty mesa
#

I was working on a meme with the fire pen ring

modern zinc
#

I'm working on a lifestacking inquisitor build

pulsar dune
#

+2 arrow bow is really really expensive, spinehail is pretty okay

#

tho in SSF probably still kinda annoying

tranquil umbra
#

ngl I really want to play a build with starcaller

dusty mesa
#

TS's most annoying problem? Attack speed

karmic gust
#

issue with TS is that there is no chance you are getting any defense on it so you just die to t17 mods

dusty mesa
#

TS's actual problem? You aren't getting a secondary proj anymore

brazen vector
#

yea

pulsar dune
#

yea, there is no global source of intstack flat

sour wadi
#

you need beyond oppressive screen clear

#

and you still die lol

pulsar dune
#

so intstack ts is just way too expensive

sour wadi
#

intstack anything

dusty mesa
#

I've never heard of someone int stacking TS

karmic gust
#

ppl did it with synth bow before

pulsar dune
#

I've seen some POBs

dusty mesa
#

that sounds wild

#

but I'd do it

karmic gust
#

its not very good

split maple
sour wadi
#

they should make replica oskarn only make it crit multi and not crit chance. and make it super rare

finite quail
pulsar dune
#

what else could work, manastack ts with weaponswapping to manastorm on ocasion

sour wadi
#

someone win a race for me and submit that idea

pulsar dune
#

but that doesn't really fix defenses

dusty mesa
#

you probably just do zdps and play slayer TS or something

pulsar dune
#

TS kinda needs deadeye to even get clear, no?

crisp obsidian
dusty mesa
#

it definitely wants the +2 proj

dusty mesa
dusty mesa
pulsar dune
#

fair fair

#

a bit high budget, but that'd also work

dusty mesa
#

so instantly +20d budget to start

pulsar dune
#

oh it's just 20

#

should've bought it smh

dusty mesa
#

depends on the league

#

without Kaom's Heart or The Apostate, it seems that the max life you can get is around 12k

dusty mesa
#

Like if I didn't need an attack speed cluster to make TS feel playable again, I'd probably league start it

#

it has me over here considering a thicket bow

#

I guess I could berserker TS

signal hawk

God I feel like the patch notes are going be real small this next league

crisp obsidian

nvm 24k

what's the most life a character can get in town?

I'm not gonna copy these people because they're strength stackers

I want a more normal gameplay

crisp obsidian
#

huhhh

#

what is normal gameplay

steel light
modern zinc
modern zinc
#

I am wholly impressed

crisp obsidian
#

what do you count as mirror tier

#

cause mirror tier gear for me is gear that would be worth mirroring

modern zinc
#

sht like this

crisp obsidian
#

that's not mirror tier

modern zinc
#

every mod is high value and fits in the build

#

how is that not mirror

brazen vector
#

@split maple how do people even look for vaal side areas with the atlas, the 16% chance for one is like VERY low :(

modern zinc
#

can't you just put a vaal fragment in the map device

#

and it'll spawn a vaal side zone

normal hedge
#

not even 30% qual

coral summit
#

mirror tier items are specifically ones that are universally bis or very close to actually bis for a popular build

brazen vector
modern zinc
#

rip

umbral crag
crisp obsidian
coral summit
#

only 20q, most builds don't use flat max life, resists usually get solved via other means and unless a mod isnt obtainable otherwise like % attribute craft on chest

#

and it's a low lv base

#

so you'd need to start from 30q sacred chainmail on armour/es base

modern zinc
#

not a hard craft wtf

karmic gust
#

the aoe is essence mod btw? first time i see it

coral summit
#

and not just go for triple t1 vanilla prefixes

modern zinc
#

I could play a whole league and not see a piece like that

umbral crag
modern zinc
#

you guys are on another level

pulsar dune
#

is the %life mod obtainable on normal items

crisp obsidian
coral summit
#

i promise you its not that bad

crisp obsidian
#

hysteria

umbral crag
#

That doesn't cost more than like 20-40div tops to craft at best

pulsar dune
#

the implicits are more than that alone P sure

crisp obsidian
pulsar dune
#

the veiled mod it's diluted from

karmic gust
coral summit
#

straight up the most expensive stuff about that item is the double t5 implicits

umbral crag
# modern zinc you guys are on another level

Mirror tier as specifically things you mirror with mirror of kalandra coz its impossible for normal mortals to craft. A mirror is usually 500-1000d. A 40d armour does NOT qualify for mirror tier lmao

karmic gust
#

actually thats prefix right

pulsar dune
#

idk if it's unique-only, not a betrayal mod at all etc

coral summit
#

mirror tier items are things that legit cost on average 4-5 mirrors to make

crisp obsidian
karmic gust
#

oh pog

tranquil sedge
coral summit
#

it wasnt meant as a hard qualifier

crisp obsidian
modern zinc
#

ok what about this

coral summit
#

just as an example and it doesnt go into stuff like bases

modern zinc
#

this item is literally mirrored

#

it's for RF's fire trap

pulsar dune
#

triple elevated lmao

coral summit
#

that is mirrored because it's triple elevated

modern zinc
#

this is mirror tier right?

pulsar dune
#

yea that's mirror tier

crisp obsidian
modern zinc
#

alr thank god i'm not that blind

coral summit
#

triple elevated items have rng HELL involved

tranquil sedge
#

to call something 'mirror-tier', it just has to be more than 1 mirror to craft on average, or at lesat annoying/difficult enough that even if it costs less than 1 mirror people will still copy it

pulsar dune
#

tho I think the max life is the annoying bit here

karmic gust
coral summit
#

especially since you cant just smash them together

tranquil sedge
dusty mesa
# modern zinc

so yea that's definitely mirrored, but also just this isn't an "always correct" statement. Items can drop mirrored kek

finite quail
pulsar dune
#

I don't think anyone has ever used a dropped mirrored item

tranquil sedge
# modern zinc

if it looks fancy and it has a mirrored tag and the rest of the pob doesn't look cheap
good chance it was a copied item lol

crisp obsidian
#

sheeeesh

karmic gust

from 4.1 to 4.3

dusty mesa
coral summit
#

you can have shit like this that's expensive to make but still not mirror tier

#

belt slot not being a good example

dusty mesa
#

but yea, that one is obviously a mirrored helm lol

coral summit
#

because mageblood exists

tawdry olive

karmic gust
#

stygian in 2026 holy

coral summit
#

the expensive part is specifically the req of veiled attributes

umbral crag
coral summit
#

and that's because of niche stupid bullshit im doing

crisp obsidian
coral summit
#

where it actually needs that last 10 of both

split maple
#

tho this league i didnt get adorned side area not even once

coral summit
#

and still wants life cata instead of attributes

crisp obsidian
#

oh it's veiled

#

nvm

#

yeah

fossil craft elder or hunter stygian and boom

coral summit

you can fossil craft it and get like 90% of the way there

The ppl doing the alva beyond strat, what kinda map are yall even looking for? Scarabs? Currency? Pack size?

coral summit
#

UNFORTUNATELY I am doing a build with leadership's price and paths to basically no int nodes otherwise

#

so I need literally all of my int off 3 rare items xdd

#

and still need some dex.

brazen vector
frigid wedge
#

alesia chill

coral summit
#

(i could sack two small life nodes for 20 dex/int but that would be not taking life nodes on a build with grey wind and is thus heresy, despite it also making it easier to accuracy cap xddd)

Excuse my ignorance, but this, orb of transmute, regal, slam with exalts hoping I get lucky? (ssf standard on T10 maps)

coral summit
#

unfortunately the int requirements can only get 4 lower

#

at most

#

more than that and it loses 90 max lightning res :>

crisp obsidian
#

why

brazen vector
coral summit
#

purity of lightning

#

i think level 19>20 is 1 max res?

#

yep

crisp obsidian
#

just get a +1 somewhere

coral summit
#

its not that starved for jewel suffix space mind at the end mind you, but early in the builds life it would be

#

cuz it still has to take random tree shit

#

instead of clusters

brazen vector
#

I noticed today that my movement skill has enough dps to clear the maps on my relic of the pact character

coral summit
#

and str requirement cant go below 159

#

thats the actual gate

#

just off gems

#

so having to match the 2 for leaderships is basically alr there since dex doesnt need to be above like 90

crisp obsidian
#

can I see this pob

coral summit
#

hang on

#

lemme go grab an earlier version of it instead of the goofy current one i have

#

it was the font of thunder/fourth vow thing i was working on yesterday if u were around for that

crisp obsidian
#

nah I wasn't

coral summit
#

ah

#

ok hang on then

#

https://pobb.in/toxMS1Yr6Kcj this one is an earlier version of it that wasnt super optimized/going into goofy item corrupts or w/e
https://pobb.in/lhpxpD3iKDaD this one is a dumb version of it that tries to optimize more and gets into "spending money for fun instead of on a way better build" territory

grizzled lily
#

okay

#

so

#

blazing salvo hierophant

#

how bas does rhat sound

#

i think its p neat

coral summit
#

the first one also i discovered cant rly craft the manifold ring with two essence mods because I discovered wed on rings is super low weighting and if you want it specifically you have to fracture it xdd

split maple
#

okay thats ridiculus

#

hive can clear alvas itself

coral summit
#

whats the plan to scale it, self-cast archmage?

#

cuz bs isn't bad, it's just kinda awkward to do without coc early on

#

for scaling raw speed

frigid wedge
coral summit
#

...unironically since herald of the hive asks you to inflict ailments

#

would leadership's price be a not terrible idea

#

or do they ask for a different amulet already

#

OH it can't inflict ailments itself

https://pobb.in/Q-gtw-LY2VBv there it's fixed, you can even drop some accuracy now!

grizzled lily
#

theyre comfortable

coral summit
#

lmao yeah i was wondering looking at that if the answer was just drop 2 smalls for that dex/int node

crisp obsidian
#

it for sure is

#

lmao

coral summit
#

it makes acc rolls easier too

crisp obsidian
#

and gives you %ms

#

which you desperately need

steady elk
#

I try a gorillion builds every league just to go back to some kind of melee jugg/berz

coral summit
#

yeah to be fair that build was not trying to build specifically to be a giga map blaster

#

it had an original build premise which kinda spiraled from there

crisp obsidian
#

yeah but even if you aint blasting maps you want to have some speed

#

having only 30% w/o qs is oof

coral summit
#

"how to not instantly die to div scarab of plenty mobs" which do phys/lightning/chaos

#

i mean normally I would have just leap slam/faster attacked

#

to not have to care that much cuz zerker could NORMALLY do that

#

but grey wind is a 1.3aps weapon

#

and unfortunately theres not really a way to get a better 1h weapon than that

#

or at least i couldn't figure out a way to scale a better rare 1h axe

#

and most other unique 1h axes are... not great

tight plinth
#

i can smell teasers incoming

crisp obsidian
#

hf

coral summit
#

I think the problem I run into if I'm actually able to drop accuracy from a ring or glove is like

#

what do you even do with that suffix space

signal hawk
#

do teasers exist?

crisp obsidian
#

you can get completey rid of the accuracy on it

signal hawk
#

will GGG add anything new to the game?

coral summit
#

because the build doesn't actually need suffix space but does need gem sockets

#

really

really badly

#

3.28: Desert League, you will have to dig the sand to find teasers (there is none)

#

fixed it for ya

coral summit
#

ig theres not much to replace suffixes with on other than like, crit multi on kill recently for tougher maps/overcapping lightning res more

#

or chaos res

crisp obsidian
#

you just need to find the next stat you can replace templarthumbsup

coral summit
#

but going out of the way to proof it against red altars seems like a very large task that can be solved by just leaving the -chaos res altars alone lol

crisp obsidian
#

and keep replacing forever

#

that's how you get into the pob loop

coral summit
#

thats how i ended up with megalo

#

the funny thing i actually found that exact megalo on trade and there's a few other variations of it with born of chaos that i'd use

#

(brb 1s)

#

but yeah 2 mod megalos arent hard to find, just finding one with a useful 3rd mod that gets into "have a live search ready to go" territory

#

and praying nobody else is also on the market for the same kind of thing

#

and to be fair, i don't think that many builds use divine flesh anymore that also wouldn't try to find a way to run everlasting sacrifice to just get 5 max chaos res from there

#

lord knows if it wasn't sacking 40% more damage or huntleader i'd consider that

coral summit
#

i cant tell what part of the sentence that's a response to lol

frigid wedge
#

herald stacker

#

:3

coral summit
#

cuz at least for me the big mod is born of chaos>second mod is either fettle or gladiator's fortitude

#

and finding one or the other combo on just 2 mod for those isnt usually that in demand

#

it's trying to fish for born of chaos with both of those or prismatic carapace/mob mentality/warning call

#

actually prio would be mob mentality+born of chaos first

#

finding a good life notable after that is what's way way harder

isnt rolling magma actually okay?

(not sunder tho)

leave sunder alone, -25% on earthshatter, buff literally every other slam by 30-40%

revert the vfos nerf

also blazing salvo has playrate higher than 0.0% on ninja - therefore good

miss me with that shit

coral summit
#

and you usually run out of exerts by the time you run out of duration on it

gritty epoch
#

i dont mind buttons or whatever but designing such that u have to basically "pick these mandatory wheels here", only one way to play slams then redesign an entire ascendency on slam

tawdry olive
ocean field
#

assuming your build is immortal what is the best way to earn exp??

tranquil umbra
#

if I have to manual cast any warcry other than rallying I am ending it

normal hedge
#

nerf earthshatter and buff tec slam of cataclysm

coral summit
#

legit if you're playing a half decent slammer you only need to recast warcries like

#

once every 3-4 screens

#

if even that

crimson hearth
#

guys can i poste my pob and you tell me what to change i got the endgame helm , i have cogwork and lost unity but cant equip cuz attribute problem needa redo the whole build bassicly

fossil mural
#

I am sure you dont need to redo the whole build

tight plinth
#

buff glacial hammer

opal ingot
#

Lost unity?

fossil mural
#

to fix attributes

tawdry olive
opal ingot
#

Oh nvm

coral summit
#

still spam breaches

crimson hearth
#

wait nvm i js had to remove old bv

coral summit
#

we'll probably be able to get multiple breaches in a map in the future

fossil mural
#

lmao

ocean field
ocean field
#

so got the old breached

opal ingot
#

I thought you lost your unity xd

coral summit
#

im betting we'll have like

ocean field
coral summit
#

hive breaches cannot spawn>up to X unstable breaches can spawn

#

for old breach enjoyers

normal hedge
#

2x evolving shrines = 25% per map at lv 98

ocean field
coral summit
#

and for weirdos who want to do hive breaches

ocean field
#

how

normal hedge
#

check fubgun's video

coral summit
#

unstable breaches can spawn>x% more monster density in hive breaches

ocean field
#

ok still working??

normal hedge
#

yup

ocean field
#

thanks

normal hedge
#

after grabbing 2 evolving shrines dont kill any monster til you start alva
otherwise it wont work

fossil mural
#

its the wave frequency

#

that sucks

coral summit
#

so faster wave frequency?

fossil mural
#

add a scarab that spawns all waves at once LULE

normal hedge
#

it needs something like ritual where they spawn instantly

fossil mural
#

or make them way faster

#

they spawn almost offscreen

coral summit
#

it really depends on the tileset too

fossil mural
#

and then take a buisness day to run to you

opal ingot
#

Man I still can't believe I made the shittiest transition to another build and It paid off

fossil mural
coral summit
#

cuz since we can choose to spec into it you can just run it on like, dunes/canyon/whatever

fossil mural
#

ACTUALLY

#

yea

#

add full wall destruction

coral summit
#

and it usually would spawn the purple dots close

fossil mural
#

on hives too

coral summit
#

so you hit one and it deletes like half the walls nearby

tranquil umbra
#

I think they should make it so unstable breaches spawn indestructible walls as they expand

fossil mural
#

so you need to clear all walls

#

not the ones close

tranquil umbra
#

no

coral summit
#

i was running strands and usually it would spawn the purple dots close enough that you ping one and it clears like half the walls>ping next cluster and it was good enough

#

it's the stupid cells/dungeons/maze bullshit layouts

#

that it's fucking terrible to run them on

ocean field
#

btw I think they should add more challenging content which gives better rewards rn t17 is ok but realistcally it is pain in the ass to run. T16.5 was good so something similar or just increase risk scarab count to 3

fossil mural
#

and buff trickster so you can run all those risk scarabs? LUL

ocean field
#

yes

tranquil umbra
#

the most likely endgame change they will do is with t17s

ocean field
#

exactly that is the plan

fossil mural
#

they said t17s will get changed

#

like

tawdry olive
fossil mural
#

its all but confirmed

tranquil sedge
ocean field
#

yeah saw the stream

ocean field
#

I think more brutal mods are needed tbh

fossil mural
#

move uber frags to t18s

tranquil sedge
#

yea that also won't fix your issue

fossil mural
#

and make them like launch t17s

tranquil sedge
#

biggest t17 issue by far is the uber fragment gatekeeping behind them

tranquil umbra
#

they should make it so every map has one guaranteed tink by turning on ruthless mode

tranquil sedge
#

even the mod effect on t17s was nerfed in 3.27

fossil mural
#

and quant was nerfed on t17 mods

tranquil sedge
#

the actual benefit to gonig 8mod t16 > t16.5 > 8mod t16.5 > t17 is pretty incremental only now its not a cliff

ocean field
#

yeah t17 is kinda pain due to layout

tranquil sedge
#

t17s are like 30-50% more profitable just from uber frags

#

if you run the good uber frag layouts

coral summit
#

they just gotta move uber frags somewhere else

tranquil sedge
#

you need additional sources

#

coz theres 2 issues at the same time

coral summit
#

make it so the normal bosses drop uber frags

#

of that boss

tranquil sedge
#

correct

tranquil umbra
#

uber frags can now only be obtained from sanctum

tranquil sedge
#

that needs to happen

ocean field
#

remove uber mfs from t17

#

and make better map layouts

tranquil sedge
#

if you only move uber frags then t17s become fine but it won't really fix the secondary issue of uber boss entry price

tranquil sedge
#

except citadel

#

fuck citadel i guess

fossil mural
tranquil sedge
#

if you need good layouts for a strat t16.5s basically handle that

fossil mural
#

no one is going to suffer 5 katarina phases

#

for 2 rare items and a chaos

tranquil sedge
#

if uber frags came from normal bosses as well

#

t17 profits will crash up to like 30% easily

tawdry olive
#

make uber trials for the fragments: exarch fragment needs you to do ball phase, maven frag needs you to do memory game

10 times

fossil mural
#

and then everyone whines there is no juicy endgame farm

tawdry olive
#

🚪 🏃

split maple
#

Best part of ubers rn is that they are easier to access than like ue, dread, cortex

#

For feared and shitr

ocean field
split maple
#

So it would be kinda annoying if you had to first obtain access to them basic ones Just for ubers

tranquil sedge
#

t17 uber frags are just hiding the underlying issue

#

endgame lacking is just partially made up with the profit from frags

#

doesnt mean it doesn't suck

split maple
#

Like running dread instead of Uber dread for feared is total ass

tranquil sedge
split maple
#

And that's coz ubers rn are way more accesible than like half of pinacles

tranquil sedge
#

just an extra source

#

also those normal fights are ass to encouter lol

split maple
#

Yeah that would be allrite ig

tranquil sedge
#

they need fixing regardless

#

like why the fuck is remembered invitation so aids

fossil mural
#

make strand bosses fully target farmable

#

remove the chance

#

just make

tawdry olive
#

yall know the worse tragedy? I think that one memory boss atlas point is staying...

split maple
#

Dread and other memory bosses, cortex, Uber elder are all more annoying to get than Uber versions

fossil mural
#

"never spawns this dude"

tranquil sedge
#

make it so you can have all 3 memories going on at once dude

#

then u can just force one to spawn at any time by only running that one

#

and make it so memories always spawn the next map or at least buff it waaaay the fuck up, if you don't have an active one

split maple
#

Also it's prolly faster to get Uber sirus than sirus lol

#

Since t17 drop more than conq maps

fossil mural
#

lmao

tranquil sedge
#

its just funny all over the place

fossil mural
#

I felt that

#

I did the hideout spawm with conq map chance

#

in phrecia

#

and they like

#

dont drop

#

at all

tranquil sedge
#

alright well hows everyone's optimism levels for patch notes?

on a scale of 0% to 100%?

ocean field
#

50

tawdry olive
#

69

tranquil sedge
#

i think im at around 40%

split maple
#

Base chance for conq is ass

#

So even with Phrecia scaling...

ocean field
#

They gotta bump up the quant or modifiers loot is trash

tawdry olive
tranquil sedge
#

you really like tempting fate huh

tawdry olive
ocean field
#

or atleast add more mods smt

split maple
#

Except if they only remove blight and Alva 😄

ocean field
#

atlas nerf was too much

tranquil sedge
#

purely objectively

split maple
#

T17 mod nerf hit t16.5 more than t17

#

Shit is like impossible to roll now

tranquil sedge

3.28 should be one of the easiest leagues to make feel good in fucking ages

Patch notes are gonna be ass. Were probably not getting loot back

tranquil sedge

with how loot starved 3.27 is if 3.28 isn't a fucking banger amongst players

you'll know these people really have lost the plot

split maple

Can I get build meta of 3.27 with loot of 3.25 please

#

And not totally ass mechanic

ocean field
earnest raven
#

One can hope DivineOrbSad

coral summit

i will not play poe2

tranquil umbra

you will get the build meta of 3.26 doryani mercs with the loot of 3.27

split maple
#

Tbh even if it's total ass of league I will play for 4 months so why do I even hope

tranquil sedge
#

i would argue this is why they can get away with it but ah hell there's no fucking competition

#

can't blame players ffs

tawdry olive

hey i tried, i played last epoch for a few hundred hours

tranquil sedge

and i like talking with the people who play even if im not playing a league so i guess im a bit of a hypocrite too

its honestly counterproductive for games

I am still coping they Will somehow fuck up the poe2 vision enough to land a fun game in the end

yea but surely one of those big boys just end up being the good guys at some point and actually start caring

split maple
#

Like Tempest flury stat stacker was proper poe1 style crack

yea please keep that contained to the inferior game

tranquil sedge
#

its not all wishes and dreams

split maple
#

Also that twin herald la deadeye

#

I miss that

tranquil sedge
#

they will roll that game's vision back step by step over the coming months and years

#

until its actually playable

split maple
#

Archmage Spark? Heck that game had some fun builds

tranquil sedge
#

they've been doing it since day 1 dude

split maple
#

Idk what they fucked up last few patches

tranquil sedge
#

just that jonathan takes time to accept the losses

#

i can imagine poe2 will be fun for at least one proper playthrough in a few years time

fossil mural
tranquil sedge
#

like i want to play that game at least once
but only after it has time to become fun

fossil mural
#

weakest poe1 build

tranquil sedge
#

so probably like 2028, maybe 2029?

peak heron
#

i cannot see it becoming good for at least a few years of trail and error

tranquil sedge
#

it has nothing to do with the size of the place

fossil mural
#

poe2 doesnt need to become poe1 to become good

tranquil sedge
#

the driving factor for poe1 and poe2 is game director vision

fossil mural
#

KEKL

peak heron
#

the main thing they need to fix is pricing or div drops the market in poe2 is so inflated compared to poe 1

tranquil sedge
tranquil umbra
#

one thing poe2 has is a lot of its action in the campaign
and I will say the campaign is VERY good

coral summit
#

the problem is literally just that there's no sink for divines

tranquil sedge
#

the only reason their league hyperinflated is because there's no divine sink

#

after a few years who knows, maybe there will be

coral summit
#

there's exalt sinks and chaos sinks

#

but no divine sinks

tranquil sedge
#

even in affliction, poe1's inflation league, we didn't have such hyperinflation

whole bluff
tranquil sedge
#

coz divines sunk constantly

tawdry olive
fossil mural
coral summit
#

like, straight up only mirror crafters are using divines in poe2

#

and theres just

coral summit
#

not that many mirror crafters

hybrid harness
#

poe2 has been going against their og vision recently no? I feel like reaching poe1 level of greatness is bound to happen it will just take time

coral summit
#

when everyone and their mom figures out how to make rares shit out stacks of divine per temple or whatever

crisp obsidian
tranquil sedge
#

their og vision isn't a 'fun' game
its 'their' game

tranquil sedge
#

so ofc they have to walk it back

#

step by step

fossil mural
#

jewel divining is very common

tranquil sedge
#

hence my reasoning to give them a few years to try it out

tranquil sedge
#

that part is normal

tranquil umbra
#

I mean still they won't walk it all the way back
the game will still be slower than poe1 whether you like it or not

tawdry olive
#

bet when they released poe2 they were thinking "ha! now all will finally align with our grand vision! the poe1 players will jump on board, and soon we will be able to sunset poe1 support" *cackles

tranquil sedge
fossil mural
tranquil sedge
#

but thats sorta similar to corruption innit

#

in that you can't mirror a sanctified item?

fossil mural
#

yes

tranquil sedge
#

right

fossil mural
#

and you dont divine sanctified items

#

well

#

before sanct

crisp obsidian
#

If there is no teaser for poe1 today then the future of GGG is truly doomed

fossil mural
#

so even if you make technically a mirror item

#

you dont need to divine it before sanct

tranquil umbra
tranquil sedge
tranquil sedge
crisp obsidian
#

Like I said earlier even one word is enough

fossil mural
#

gotta get them zzz players in poe1 am I right

tranquil umbra
#

teaser 3 will be templar's neck extending to the heavens actually

tranquil sedge
#

they have the resources to do whatever they want

tranquil umbra
#

that is true

tranquil sedge
#

and they, as expected, sold the shit out of poe2 on launch

#

like i've seen that argument so many times

#

'poe2 launch numbers 0.1 was so high!!! poe1 ded!!!'

tawdry olive
#

its because their philosophy actually really works...
if you're developing a single player one and done campaign sorta deal

tranquil umbra
#

I mean isn't that why poe2 is still early access anyway
they have the option to fuck around and find out

tranquil sedge
#

like no shit it was high they marketed the 'poe sequel made by ggg' and a new generation of arpg and all that

crisp obsidian
tranquil sedge
#

but ultimately holding on players is what matters

fossil mural
#

it was 450 bucks

#

I doubt 85% of players spent 450+ bucks

#

on poe1

tranquil sedge
tranquil umbra
crisp obsidian
#

That was the part I was worried off

tranquil sedge
#

ill try to find it later anyway just coz im curious now too

crisp obsidian
#

Nah no need to

#

I trust this once

tranquil sedge
#

but tbh if i pretend that they only gave access to poe1 players for a second

fossil mural
#

jiji? not asking for source?

tranquil sedge
#

that feels even worse LOL

tranquil sedge
shy furnace
#

wow still no more news

tranquil sedge
crisp obsidian
#

Yeah but

tranquil sedge
#

they didn't explicitly state sales, you are right

#

just total redemptions

crisp obsidian
#

Ye

tranquil sedge
#

but poe2 also launched on steam

#

hmm

#

is there a way to find steam sales of a game

tawdry olive
#

steamdb

tranquil sedge
tawdry olive
#

oh wait no, you mean like actual sales

#

not like, discounts

tranquil sedge
#

yes

tawdry olive
tranquil sedge
#

idc discounted or not

#

but whether ppl actually spent $ to buy it

#

owell even if i ignore that
its still a fucking wild launch number

crisp obsidian
tranquil sedge
#

the single highest launch number for poe1 was 3.25 with 229k concurrent

crisp obsidian
#

But idk if that works for poe2

tranquil sedge
#

so with some really fucking sketchy math they still made hella sales

honestly the biggest problem with poe2 imo is that if they're this intent on not having people be able to turbo zoomzoom forced ruthless no movement skills they have to address half the tree just clicking every movespeed and -ms penalty node while the other half of the tree has neither of those
