Oh ffs

[fierce moth]

...Sleep enough finally. Paint time.

[vagrant topaz]

They need to set smth up to make it easier to delete all the scam link

It's super annoying, especially on phone

[sand wigeon]

Thanks Vlad

[blissful token]

The Mod Riot Hightable where. Gotta make this known

[fierce moth]

Texas's national flower - Blue bonnet ✅

Messed up the scale. I should paint petals and leaves bigger next time. It's the reference.

fat guy VS thin lady lol

[fierce moth]

What? Hold on... Hawg in this server too?! hhhhhhhhh

He's a very humour guy. I like jokes and memes he made

but I think he don't interested in checking out poe 2's club in le's server hhhh

[blissful token]

isn't this a new belt?

[desert jasper]

what belt was it again
looks kinda like ryslathas?

[fierce moth]

🙂‍↕️
Old, small VS New, big

That's a big upgrade. (wow textures of them are different completely too)

[blissful token]

yesh

[desert jasper]

apparently it's been in since 0.1.0
It's just very rare

[blissful token]

i see

it popped up somewhere in some guide, so i thought its rare

but its cheap on the market

[desert jasper]

it was very popular in poe1

[blissful token]

oo

[twilit mountain]

Cheap due to phys builds being kinda mid

[fierce moth]

Germany's national flower - Cornflower ✅

[blissful token]

any reason why one fate is more expensive than the other

[fierce moth]

The feeling of laying on the bed is so good when the shoulders, loin and neck are too rigid to be loosen 😌

[blissful token]

there is actually nth worth from the trialmaster

like almost no point fighting him other than to ascend

[twilit mountain]

High rolled Adorned is good

Because

Y'know, Adorned

[blissful token]

someone actually got astra from the vault lol

[blissful token]

what quality do to astra?

if u get a all attribute 90 base astra, quality it 20%, it becomes 108 all attribute?

[fierce moth]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/s/HK39K8t4iq

Hhhhh this waystone explosion looks quite funny

[mental talon]

Correct

[blissful token]

then you dont have to spend 16 annul to get a 110 all attribute astra o.o

[mental talon]

You can't use Annuls on Uniques anyways they're Divineable/Corruptable and that's it

[fierce moth]

🤯 get this level of amounts on currencies from trading for the first time

[abstract karma]

dang

[fierce moth]

? that is it?....50e is gone

[junior oyster]

They nerfed that belt hard huh

[blissful token]

15 annul gone for astra 🥲

[fierce moth]

I can't afford that at all :(

[fierce moth]

🫠 I'm bankrupted.

[blissful token]

u got perfect jeweler :v

[junior oyster]

Haha she probably wants to not sell it

Getting the good mod on this will be a pain...

Don't want mana at all and calc shows it to be probably one of the highest ones to get lol

Oh not bad

I lose max life for more es

[desert jasper]

so do I
like 3 of them still

[warped wren]

If you're paying in annuls, you're likely getting scammed

[blissful token]

nah, headhunter and astra are not sold in divs

[junior oyster]

After buying two H-omens I'm now down to 8ex

Man those boots would have been a lot better with int on them rather than chill

[warped wren]

Really: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Rise of the Abyssal/wRJjWYrhb

As I said, you're getting scammed.

Change your trade settings to display prices only in exalts or divs

[junior oyster]

I love when people don't change settings xD

First thing I did when searching for hh

Not that I can afford it

[warped wren]

That's how the scam is happening, because annul listings show up higher and people think that's the normal price and then self scam

[junior oyster]

Yikes

[blissful token]

ahh thanks

but the 15 annul is fine still

considering 1 div = 3 annul now

110 attribute is 6 divs

[junior oyster]

Btw is it still the same with logbooks in that you can't guarantee fighting olly?

[warped wren]

Wdym

You just do logbooks and collect the splinters

Then go fight him

[junior oyster]

Oh wait they changed it

Damn I wasted a logbook

[blissful token]

so technically i bought it for 1 div cheaper at current rate

yea

but thanks for the heads-up, appreciate it

you mean to change to this right?

i think the default was "Exalted Orb Equivalent"

[fierce moth]

sold

I just quite confused why I'm so poor at endgame

[junior oyster]

Not the worst belt

[fierce moth]

🥴 One shot by the lightning from the octopus.... lv 91 is my curse. Just die, die, die, and die.

[junior oyster]

Oof

You have so much ES too

Meanwhile

[blissful token]

meanwhile

[abstract karma]

sell chaos orbs.. I using it as early map pushover.. 7 exa for 1 chaos is good rate

[junior oyster]

Not the best but I think I could start on this helm

Ofc this is what I get...

[junior oyster]

Whoa

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Should we make a 3.27 Bingo Card as we get closer to the reveal you think?

[junior oyster]

As much as I want to use omen of light on this I think I can probably craft better

100k just for one light damn

[fierce moth]

👀 +9% lightning resistance is a pity

[junior oyster]

I messed up my craft on helm too cuz I had wrong omen

Don't need mana

[warped wren]

the oneshots in the game are insane rn

[junior oyster]

Yea I got one-shotted even with omen

[warped wren]

I'd love to build an armor char if the formula weren't dogshit

[junior oyster]

Didn't set off omen

Not that, that omen is any good

[twilit mountain]

Please make a square "LS nerfs for some reason"

[mental talon]

"Penance Brand of Dissipation somehow still exists and Self Cast still sucks because of it" can be a free square lmao

[twilit mountain]

REAL

PBoD needed to get dumpstered the league after it came out but nooooo we still have to deal with the shitass "drop brands and explode 5 screens with 500mil pops" skill

[mental talon]

Storm Brand of Indecision got taken out back becaue of PBoD. I will never forgive it

[twilit mountain]

And I never got the chance to try it because it was too expensive when it was viable :(

[warped wren]

"Some reason"? It's still one of the best skills at endgame because it just got lovetapped. Though frankly it's Trickster that's the problem, LS is just one of the efficient vehicles

PBoD should just be nuked rofl

[twilit mountain]

It's about as good as any other proj based skill with Nimis/returns now. Prior to that level of investment Smite and even a some pure strength melee skills shit on it rn.

[warped wren]

Tbh all Nimis abusable skills need retuning

[twilit mountain]

What you mean is Nimis needs tuning

[warped wren]

Eh, I think the mechanic it brings is fundamentally cool and I don't wanna get rid of that, but it's TOO strong. Better to retune the skills rather than the mechanic so that niche use cases can exist, now or in the future

[twilit mountain]

The common denominator isn't the skills themselves, it's Nimis/returns. If we approach the skills instead we get the result of the usual treatment where they just eat nerfs on nerfs on nerfs until we chuck it to the wayside for the next best thing.

[warped wren]

Damn jungle ryan

[twilit mountain]

WOrb is a decent example I think. The issue it had was not inherent to the skill but the interactions other things gave it. But they gutted WOrb and so it disappeared from our radars for like 6 years.

[mental talon]

Ahhh jeeze I wish I had known you then Deias I would have just gave you my shit so you could experience it. :\

[twilit mountain]

Just OD on cope with me that traps and self-cast will be buffed this patch. Or the one after. Or the one after that. Okay maybe just one more patch... surely....

[mental talon]

That is giga cope, you can only have one homie

[twilit mountain]

"Traps are great for zHP bossing!"
But I don't want zHP bossing, I want a functional all-arounder build that uses my favorite archetype and isn't gated behind an item that only drops from an Uber and costs like 100 divines

[fierce moth]

Good noon.

The biggest problem which cause endgame in Poe 2 is I must juice maps with towers at first, so these maps are poor on value to grind before I find a tower and insert tablets.

Then I have to find which maps have the most encounters especially includes bosses and figured out how to access them if it's a deadly boss map. But deadly boss maps are too troublesome to get access. Normal boss maps are more common, but the pathing in atlas is quite a long time, for both of towers and bosses because I'll need to drag the sandbox to find where are they.

[warped wren]

yeah mapping suxx and the devs know that

hopefully we get something better in 0.4

[twilit mountain]

What you're experiencing is called tedium and it for some reason seems to be a core tenet of PoE2 design

[warped wren]

not holding my breath though

the entirety of PoE2's game design foundation is vibes and novelty

[twilit mountain]

"Wouldn't it be cool if lightning could chain to other skills"
Yeah
"Alright cool, make three skills in the entire game that can do that please"

[warped wren]

which is to be expected since, y'know, they silo'd the whole team rather than have them work with PoE1 devs and bring over the lessons of a decade of game development

[sand wigeon]

Please don’t mention tedium. Peacekeeper still wants me to go mark five oil tanks. And five more oil tanks. And five more oil tanks. Man this American loves oil

[twilit mountain]

What's J got to do with this?

The BEAR’s

[twilit mountain]

I know

I was trying to be funny

[sand wigeon]

Sektant is going to abduct you.

[twilit mountain]

🦉

[sand wigeon]

Playable Sektant campaign when

[twilit mountain]

After the other 60% of skills get added

[sand wigeon]

Maybe it could be a situation where you unlock the ability to swap your scav for Sektant and it unlocks new exclusive quests alongside a new exclusive trader

Maybe after escaping with your PMC once

[twilit mountain]

Hm. Similarities between Tarkov and PoE2 development spotted

[sand wigeon]

Hey! They’ve actually been removing some from the in-game skill screen

[twilit mountain]

Neither of them are anywhere near finished yet boast about getting to full release

[sand wigeon]

If the game launches with missing skills in the skill screen I’m going to laugh, though

[sand wigeon]

Yeah, they’re considering just the addition of the final story quests to be 1.0 ready, but there’s missing skills, tons of optimization they need to do and Lighthouse still desperately needs an overhaul

[fierce moth]

Keep juicing waystones from magical to 6 mods are boring too because this waystone means nothing (poor loots) if just 6 mods here. I'll vaal them to hope I can get more rarity. But rarity is quite tricky to get more, 53+ t15 maps I juiced by exalted orbs and vaal orbs, only one of them has 100%+ rarity. If I want more rarity, being delirious is the only choice. But 60% delirious is the max for +4 chaos skills + lv 19 skill gems + 9600+ es + capped elemental resistances can control. This waystone will be lost once I'm slain, so it's quite risky when I want to juice waystones more. Another encounter I'd like to see is ritual, but the rewards from that are quite RNG. I want to bonus ritual more, but I need to grind enough maps to get enough splinters + my dps and my defence must be enough at first.

Ritual is the only encounter which friendly for newbies and not too hard to fight with exclusive bosses. I have no idea why other encounters are boring or too dangerous. Enemies from breach will split me into fragments if I can't one-shot them. Different mods for expeditions increase the level of strategies, but logbooks are rare. 2 maps available for logbooks only, and meeting bosses in these maps is the most helpful way to get more loot, which means it's quite RNG too, not so much guaranteed sides.

The hierarchy of waystones is boring, too. From clearing 10 t xx maps to slain bosses, the way to keep my waystones sustainable and climb up to higher tiers improves a lot, but I still need to grind so many maps for promising I have enough waystones to grind under the next waystone tier, which means my profit must be reduced if loots relevant to waystone's tiers. Not only is 15 levels a quite so pretty very long process, but also I don't feel what differences this hierarchy brings to profits. Rare gears which higher tiers and more item levels only drop in t15 maps indeed, but currencies in my stash decide when I can craft my gears. The drop rate of currencies and waystones is still the same after I increased the effects of implicit, the rarity of items and the quality of waystones.

[blissful token]

I think you can desecrate waystone for quantity %

I like doing ritual but i havent progress my atlas much.. cleared t15 nexus and thats it

I like doing chaos trial

Also you can just buy t14 map from doriani and do boss map and get t15 no?

[junior oyster]

Ngl I dropped rarity from gear altogether

You either go 100+ or nothing

[abstract karma]

that works till you stop lvl up ? Or at least i havent seen this shop would be refreshable different way

[junior oyster]

What a waste of a stat aside from doing gravebinder nonsense imo

Same with the attribute stat

I'd rather not have it but if they gave us a stat that reduced gearing level for alts I would probably be more inclined to making an alt

[blissful token]

Oh i forgot about that..

[junior oyster]

Might refresh every day too but even then it isn't sustainable

[blissful token]

I have 0 magic find

[junior oyster]

I've still yet to finish atlas

[abstract karma]

yea i dont why the f.. it works these shopws like that..
In PoE 1 you get refrehs aby atlas scrolls or atlas missions - but if this will come to that it will be probably near 1.0 version

[junior oyster]

Aside from atlas tree same

[abstract karma]

i have no time these evenings except weekends.. So still around T4-6..
Need lvl up for bow upgrade which should be get +60% dps increase

[junior oyster]

My wife and work kinda make it hard to play sometimes

But on weekdays I can usually do a couple of hours

Weekend I usually get more playtime

[warped wren]

rarity as an equipment stat just needs to be nuked from orbit

rarity and quantity should be difficulty-dependent

NOT a stat to gear for

people need to get their heads out of D2's ass, it's been long enough

also if anyone's interested in bullet hells, DRG Survivor is officially out of beta

fun game

[junior oyster]

Yea so freaking annoying lol

Also deli fog

Not the mirror so much but rather when you add deli mods on your map

[gilded elm]

This new survivors-like, Megabonk, is pretty fun. Same formula, but somehow feels very fresh and unique.

[fierce moth]

it's just a lv 48 ring 😢

[fierce moth]

alright, sinking spire maybe the most hard tower. I lose 20% xp and 2 t15 maps here

[junior oyster]

Tower?

[fierce moth]

yes

Oh it's not abyssal depath finally...

[twilit mountain]

Don't die!

That one is similar to Infinite Hunger from PoE1 iirc

So keep your distance

[fierce moth]

Such poor rewards this boss gave me

[twilit mountain]

It's just for the invite really

[fierce moth]

The issue is the invitation is cheap too

[twilit mountain]

Aye, because they're a gamble. You can hit very big rewards from the invites but it's extremely luck based.

[placid yarrow]

Not already man

It's not even halloween yet

[fierce moth]

Roasted chicken with Japanese noodles.
Enjoyed :)

I'm hungry as you see.

[placid yarrow]

That looks fire

Have some penguins

[desert jasper]

Meanwhile I'm having homemade meatballs + sauce and potatoes

[fierce moth]

I never see penguins in life

[placid yarrow]

Yeah I went with a friend that was visiting on saturday

They had all kinds of things it was dope

Here's a toucan

[fierce moth]

Xddddddd

[placid yarrow]

LE toucan has arrived

[fierce moth]

Toucan has arrived!

[desert jasper]

Toucans are cool
most birds are, tbh

[placid yarrow]

I'm not someone who takes a lot of pictures so I don't have much more but there were other birds, monkeys, seals, sharks etc

Lots of cool animals

[fierce moth]

My dinner was posted, waiting for your lunch 👀

[desert jasper]

Naah I don't feel like posting a pic of it
my desk is too messy and has all sorts of medical papers on it

[fierce moth]

I'm full but a piece of oolong tea crepe cake waiting me so I talk a bit walk at first

[pine summit]

🐔

uh oh

[fierce moth]

~~January and February are the duration I dislike so much because of Chinese new year. Fireworks and firecrackers will be played all day. Fireworks and firecrackers are stuff I hate the most because I hate noisy environment but I must accept they're played by another people here because they're damn traditions of Chinese New year. ~~

But I can't find a way to escape this damn countryside yet.

It'll the most tough duration of a year to spend...

Sorry, it's why I will disabled to enjoy any games.

[pine summit]

i always feel bad for dogs and other pets when those are going off

^dont click the scam bot images

nice, fast removal

wonder why discord hasnt done more on their end to sort out this kinda stuff though

its the same exact scam every time

usually bots like this would have to vary it up

[fierce moth]

I want to spend Christmas instead of Chinese new year so much because no fireworks and firecrackers 🙃

[pine summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf7vJUdj1bM oh its on global official account now

TGS starts in like 3 days so probably a lot more news on this game then

plus, ofc, a ton of others

hades II launch too and sonic racing crossworlds

[jade jackal]

Any fans here waiting for Hades 2 to drop its 1.0 patch?

[junior oyster]

I bought sonic racing haha

[blissful token]

wow perfect jeweller orb is only worth 25ex o.o

[fierce moth]

33e last night

[blissful token]

heck

[desert jasper]

Only 25ex?
Hmm guess I could sell my 3 🤔

[tawny sand]

i'm thinking of getting sonic racing, looks good

[fierce moth]

🤣 🤷‍♀️
easy to say but hard to do.

[lofty wren]

Just play blood mage if you don't wanna die xd

[warped wren]

sort of. I platinum'd Hades 1 but didn't hugely enjoy Hades 2 in the 60ish hours I tried it. I'm hoping 1.0 changes a few things

[jade jackal]

I haven't played it since March, so im hoping for big changes

But generally I agree - something about the game's vibes... just dont click the same as Hades 1 did

[warped wren]

it's a lack of fluidity IMO

plus bloat in the base building and upgrading element

[junior oyster]

I never liked the original so chances are I wouldn't like the sequel

[fierce moth]

🙃 100MB file limit on uploading is quite poor

The size of video I want to post still over 100MB after I 2x speed up

record in poe 2 includes so much vfx, I guess it's the reason

Figured out why I will be one shot often. My es is too slow to recharge...

That's a failed body armour... This mod have the max value on body armour, which mean it's the most important origin.

🥴 ...Well, that's... The most serious mistake.

......So, it means I must give up a bit es. 9500+ es is impossible :(

Remain 9275 es

[junior oyster]

What are your other defences like?

I'm not sure if it was worth selling for 1d but I got a decent sale

[abstract karma]

everybody saying that ES is OP and should be nerfted.. According this either way you are doing something wrong or they are wrong 😄

How can T16 with "HP stats" over 10k get down by 3 hits from various monsters

btw what is your chaos defences ? these monsters are chaos based

[fierce moth]

I need 1d to change a ring which bonus chaos resistance 🥴 I don't find any runes can do that

[abstract karma]

min chaos 60% and ES leech or regen..
Since PoE 2 is still young in insane regens except mayber Armos / HP combo then probably is also good having some Evasion to Evade..

Or just screw whole Life and use that passive node "Immune to Chaos and hp to 1"

[junior oyster]

Lol me with 0%

[abstract karma]

but your build is basically evade with companion damage, evade, share properites..

And your bow skills or spear one are "hard hit" not chaos / poision based

Bows with their projectiles approach have it mostly eaiser

[junior oyster]

Wish I didn't hit acc but oh well

[abstract karma]

i have above average freeze build and Ice shot is OP.. most of enemies are frozen in 1 - 2 hits which means.. Zero needs to dodge

[junior oyster]

Wait nvm it's phys/acc hybrid

Not bad imo

[fierce moth]

But to be honest... I have no idea which ring should be replaced too

[abstract karma]

left one, enough to cover res, need addion ES or HP (in your chas ES is better) then idk what is you build

but you have too much various damage atributes ?

IF you have focus Chaos, cold and Fire to sh..

do you use Path of Building ? that would be cleared

[abstract karma]

that once is decent, you can only go up which means probably tons of divines

[fierce moth]

My wand is the most poor version in my gear set. Poor budget I have so I can buy a non-withered wand with a lv 17 grant skill only...

I have this one but I don't have extra exalted orbs to cook that 🙃

[abstract karma]

why chaos bolt needs critical up

[fierce moth]

The same type of mods with chaos skill bonus

If that wand can have cast speed instead of crit chance or crit bonus, it will more cool

[abstract karma]

hmm idk if you are using chaos then you should focus more on DoT intensity because its damage over time type of damage..
you could use it has "hit damage" but then you would need play totally different build almost like typical deadeye projectile

stupid question, when you hit with "chaos bolt" does enemy dies after a few secs or miliseconds ? Or its just pure hit

[junior oyster]

Ooh ty exped

[acoustic jungle]

What specifically didn't you like about Hades 2? If you can maintain it spoiler-free 😛

[acoustic jungle]

You mean weapons? That was exactly my initial thought after 3-4h. Anything else?

[warped wren]

Game doesn't feel as fluid. The base building element has a LOT of bloat in terms of resources and busywork. Combat is meant to be more engaging with more options, but it somehow misses the mark. A whole bunch of QoL stuff that was available from the get go in Hades 1 (boon lists for example) are locked behind resource gathering and busy work

For me personally, one of the worst offenders in game feel is the dash. It has this weird but noticeable delay that does NOT feel good when you're used to Hades 1

And tbf none of this is game breaking and much of it is subjective, I'm sure many people will love the game as they should. I'm just a little iffy about it

Forgot to mention, the story till I last played it was not it, MC was f***ing insufferable, and the tone was the game taking itself too seriously. Not a fan of that after getting to know Zagreus in 1.

[acoustic jungle]

BROTHER EXACTLY EXACTLY THAT WAS LIKE 90% OF THE FLUIDITY ASPECT FOR ME

Alright, very good notes, thank you.

[fierce moth]

🤔 emmmm my damage is dot + hit damage + curse damage + totem damage

multiple layers here. 2 debuff icons will be appeared if I just cast essence drain

[abstract karma]

dont you have too much modifiers to handle ? What is your main focus ? Dot or hit Damage ?
IF you dont going totem then that should be just support same as curse debuff

[junior oyster]

Exped map

[fierce moth]

+1

[fierce moth]

Maybe withered magnitude?
I just know more spell damage/more chaos damage/more curse magnitude/more withered magnitude/more cast speed mean kill enemies faster 😅

That's a bit complicated yes...lol

[abstract karma]

it seems so..

I've never played properly chaos based build just never seen usage of critical and various other modifiers you have on equip

That's why i wrote if you using path of building because there should be seen how or what is support your build what is additional pointless atribute

if you had strong DoT i would say screw.. some hit damage and increase projectiles division as much you can

[fierce moth]

yes chain (one of support gems) is for more projectiles

[junior oyster]

gg

[junior oyster]

Nice exactly what I needed

[fierce moth]

hah???? See +7 melee skills for the first time

[junior oyster]

Damn first time seeing this drop

[fierce moth]

Damn I never see one yet

[abstract karma]

81 chaos orbs

[junior oyster]

0% rarity

[abstract karma]

which is like 5-6 annuls which is 2-3 divine

[junior oyster]

Ooh nice

Also got a perf jeweller

This from a freaking tower lol

[abstract karma]

wtf.. I had pinned "Paradise" on atlas and it disappeared

it became some useless map

[junior oyster]

You didn't open portal on it by accident right?

[abstract karma]

nope

i have pinned for later use

my maps are still not in yellow lol that would be fast when it had 367%

[junior oyster]

Sheesh they've gotten even pricier

[fierce moth]

Fane will have a fantastic game experience :)

You're the rich now

[junior oyster]

Hah as if

[abstract karma]

transform it to divine

i mean that Trade rate from exa to divine

[fierce moth]

None of items which can exchange divine orbs I have seen yet

[junior oyster]

Yea the price gets a lot cheaper lol

OOh whats this

[twilit mountain]

Should be a Rathpith, which is good

[blissful token]

Lol carnarius tanked all arbiter meteor with extreme high armour and holy descend

But a 20k ES can do the same with lesser effort

[desert jasper]

What's extreme high armour here?

[blissful token]

88k base before anything

[desert jasper]

More than i expected

[blissful token]

His character sheet estimated armor to elemental 215k base

His armour is triple my amount

I am only 32k 😛

[desert jasper]

you need to work on that then

[blissful token]

I am just a kesual

And a kesual warrior

[fierce moth]

Zelina and Zolin are bosses in act 4 I remembered, but whose are Elswyth and Wulfric?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrxDM2W7rgY&t=87s

[junior oyster]

Bosses in act 1 and 3 I think

[junior oyster]

Oh I had just woken up so I thought you were asking who were the ice and fire duo bosses lol

Didn't look at the video

[fierce moth]

🤔 waystones can't reforge

[junior oyster]

Yea they are used to make higher tiers

With exception to t16

So 3 t14s make a t15

But 3 t15s do nothing

Sold yesterday's unique focus for 10d

Not bad imo

[fierce moth]

Sort them for a while, I want an exclusive tab for placing them 🙃

[fierce moth]

how are you juice your waystones? what will you do after get 6 mods on a t15 waystone?

[warped wren]

Can't wait for GGG to try to sell us another tab for it

Amazing that they created 100+ socketables, of which you only see maybe 20 on a regular basis, just to sell a new tab

[junior oyster]

6 mod + vaal

Nothing much else atm

[warped wren]

Beyond that you just start looking for leechers to boost your quant and rarity

(I wish I was kidding)

[fierce moth]

Oh I figured out how to kill this boss now. Still no health bar unfortunately

I don't know ||portal|| is the key

The 1st one is 59% only

[junior oyster]

Exceptional 👀

[fierce moth]

77% in the 2nd time

[blissful token]

Kirra, how is the Ragasa storm at guangzhou

[fierce moth]

Nothing happen here yet. It's not arrived

Quite sunny at noon, now is cloudy and windy

[blissful token]

So just the airport cancelled all the flights?

[fierce moth]

🤔 Oh the block start from 17:00.

All factories stop working since 17:00.
All traffics, delivery, restaurants, shops stop working since 20:00.

This night will be scary I hope the electricity works fine... I don't want to lack of power

[blissful token]

Better plan your meals ahead, you cant go out and no deliveries i assume

Oh you did mentioned

I see some articles, some people already start to stock up their daily necessities

[fierce moth]

I stacked many snacks as usual yesterday. I hope it'll end in Thursday because I want to go outside... That's my normal plan per week --- Monday and Thursday is outside day

The origin of this plan is Monday and Thursday have been doctor day. Well... I mean antidepression.

[desert jasper]

what to do today

[fierce moth]

Played 2h+ poe 2 this afternoon then took a nap. Plan to go on painting national flowers and watching this video after the dinner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss1N3cnipns&t=314s A senior concept artist who worked in 3A games shared how he record his daily ideas

I watched that 22 mins so far

He said "I don't know what I'm drawing". That's what shocked me the most.

[fierce moth]

Yes, if @gilded elm want, tons of chances waiting you

It's captured from discord hiring. https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/discord?page=1

As this trend (3 years+ experience on the relevant field = average, 5 years+ experience on the relevant field = senior), 5 years+ experience is the min. Plus this person must have personal opinions and a set of solutions for problems in this field.

Not relevant to the luck. They're basic conditions. No access for talking about the luck without them.

I wouldn't wanna work for discord tbh..

🤔 Post 3d stuff since 2014. Maybe more.

I guess it's an artist who own experience on 3d modeling as rich as Anton

Make sense on he's a lead artist in epic games. I always shocked by why people can know how to do 3d stuff in such a early time...

Both of aesthetic and technique they need. They did them so well but lots of pressure come from their works and their experience too. They still rule the whole game industry.

Have heard blender will replace maya/3dsmax slowly, but I don't see this trend obviously enough yet.

[gilded elm]

I will probably never work at another job that requires commute. I am happy being 100% fully remote lol

[junior oyster]

Ofc this is my first hit as usual xD

[gilded elm]

This game is so damn good lmao

[abstract karma]

One or two rouge why not but every year +50 of this gerne that just too much

I don't care how many survivors-likes come out. If game fun, I buy and I play.

Game trolled me with this drop

[blissful token]

oooo today i learned

what is this . When peepo dont want to do it and they scam your reward

[fierce moth]

Wicked bcome rich too, cool!

Maybe I should try trial of chaos too

[junior oyster]

That's been there since 0.1

At most these trials are worth 2d for selling but even then I'd probably sell them for 1d

And hope someone buys them

[blissful token]

nah just sell 6 divs, let ppl do the thing and sow their reward

man...

[fierce moth]

I have a question, how can players transform it to magic and corrupted? The game remind me of I can't

[junior oyster]

You don't

Trialmaster drops it

Might possibly also be a random drop too but not sure about that

[fierce moth]

Very lucky to not be forced to get any insane debuff. The 1st fragment ✅

🤔 how many fragments I need, 3 or 4?

[junior oyster]

3

Just so you know but says the kind of fragment will drop

The other two being 'deadly' and 'cowardly'

You know which is the final boss that way too

[fierce moth]

Bosses in Trial of chaos are quite easy now

@junior stirrup Tornado is gone from the bird? Why that bird just enter the 2nd phrase directly, the day become dark and many red needles are flying? I remembered I need to dodge its gaint tornado before the 2nd phrase

[fierce moth]

lol the design of arena in caldera is the most interesting one I seen because of the audience's interaction. They cheers for me but they jump out immediately after the combat is over

[junior oyster]

Still exists but doesn't oneshot as much now and slower

Or at least that's how I felt

I kill bird fast enough to not phase day/night

[fierce moth]

Interesting, that bird just not summon giant tornado before switch to night for 2 times

[fierce moth]

I always unhappy with old renders I saved after I cooked a new renders 🥴 😢

[tawny sand]

sonic crossworlds is pretty good

[fierce moth]

Wait... damn but I forgot which one have I got in the 2nd try...

It mean I can get special fragments from this token only?

[junior oyster]

No it just tells you the fragment you will get at the end of the run

In other words the third boss

[fierce moth]

3 types of bosses here, but all of them is the same character, trialmaster? I don't understand what difference on them, I don't try yet

If 3 types of bosses here, then it means difficulty must different

[junior oyster]

No the 3 bosses before trialmaster

Like the tornado one

Aka trial room 10 boss

It tells you which fragment trial room 10 will drop

And also tells you which boss it's going to be along with it

[fierce moth]

sorry to say I have no idea what are you saying... So if I repeat deadly ultimatum, it will not influence me to get the last fragment? I need to collect the last fragment at first

[junior oyster]

Deadly will drop deadly fragment, victorious drops victorious fragment and cowardly drops cowardly fragment

Nothing special

[fierce moth]

.......Damn it's what I worried about.

[junior oyster]

The three fragments you need to combine to fight trialmaster

[fierce moth]

I lack of the middle one, got the right and the left one, but I don't know which fragments are they

[junior oyster]

I might have the trial you want if you need it

So you got deadly frag right?

Or rather just tell me which ones you got and I can tell you which one you need

[fierce moth]

Oh I see. I lack of cowardly one

[junior oyster]

Yep

[junior oyster]

Yea I've been enjoying it so far even though I suck lol

[tawny sand]

yeah i'm not good either lol

[junior oyster]

I just play as miku 😂

[tawny sand]

I need a JSR character

[junior oyster]

Terraria for me

Megaman zero would be nice too

Good amount of crossover potential for this game if it's successful

[fierce moth]

😅 The 1st time to fight with trialmaster in chaos. Spend 1 min 44s to kill him. Combat is quite challenging but loots are quite trash

[fierce moth]

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/P60vJB

Full process + new renders.

[fierce moth]

🥴 ...........

This condition add lots of diffculty definitely because... Most players done this league already so we viewed these in-game things again and again, so less passion and excitement for creating something about them.

But if they don't play the league since the launch day... hey must face the insane inflation on market at endgame. But endgame is the biggest resource to collect inspirations...Or GGG think these artists have enough inspirations in campaign already? 🤔

[desert jasper]

Well
It's their own fault if they haven't played it and want to be inspired by end game.
You could easily do fanart of the abyssal monsters

The pity is I just not a player in this circle

[blissful token]

Find NA/EU content creator?

[fierce moth]

Paper girls culture just extreme popular all over the world so these jobs can earn a lot

It mentioned UGC 👀 That means this job need to act as like as Foton, find famous youtubers and streamers to promote the game

[blissful token]

Hong Kong typhoon signal no.10 already whew

[fierce moth]

用户生态建设 = build and run the game community
创作者体系搭建 = build a long term co-op relationship with famous youtubers and streamers in this game type

[gilded elm]

I'm a bit concerned that there was no mention of whether the LE expansion would be paid or not.

It should be easy to be upfront in the announcement and call it a free update, but the fact that they didn't do that is somewhat worrisome.

Is my memory wrong in regards to EHG having made a commitment to provide all future updates for free to people who have purchased the base game?

[tawny sand]

i have no idea personally

[mental talon]

The stance has definitely changed over the years

[gilded elm]

I'm not worried for myself, I'll buy expansions if they're fun and not "P2W" but I am concerned about the implications for LE's audience at large.

[mental talon]

Obviously things change but yeah

[gilded elm]

I think a lot of people are fine with buying expansions, but it does seem like a lot of people bought into LE with the understanding that updates were free forever.

[mental talon]

I personally don't care much but at the same time I probably wouldn't but an expansion when the game still isn't finished tbh

[tawny sand]

yeah same

[gilded elm]

Yeah, there is that too.

[tawny sand]

and i get bored with the seasons pretty fast

[gilded elm]

LE still feels like an early access game to me

[mental talon]

It is early access the 1.0 is cosmetic.

[twilit mountain]

Yup

[gilded elm]

I have faith in the competence of EHG's ability to make a good ARPG, but the game obviously doesn't feel full featured yet.

I mean, it is a good ARPG as is, but incomplete is still incomplete.

[twilit mountain]

Like, I'm already close to giving up on it really. A paid expansion is permanent shelving for the game to me.

[tawny sand]

i didn't realize they weren't going to wrap up the story before an expansion, don't lore nerds still want to know who the emperor is or something?

[gilded elm]

I have no idea what's going on in LE lore lmao

[tawny sand]

me neither, it's just something i've seen around

speculation on the emperor's identity

in other news the wolverine game doesn't look that good to me, but i thought spider-man was mid and i never got MM or 2 so

that feeling when we'll never get another sunset overdrive instead

[gilded elm]

X-Men is Sony-licensed Marvel property, right? I really can't muster enough enthusiasm for Marvel games lol

[sage flame]

I personally think the emperor is post story content. Mike saying on stream "of course it has to end with orobyss" leaves open paths to explore with content beyond that

I think the weaver was one such path

mages may be another who knows

[mental talon]

Wolverine looks neat to me but I don't have a PS5 anymore after giving it to a friend so I'll probably wait for the PC release

[mental talon]

I would at least and maybe this me being naive, assume they plan to wrap up the story before a "major" expansion

[tawny sand]

i have no idea what the deal is now tbh

[mental talon]

But I've been wrong before

[tawny sand]

yeah idk

[mental talon]

An expansion titled Orobyss at least assumes the game's main campaign is complete right...? (Am I cooked tel me if I'm cooked)

[tawny sand]

that's what i assumed

[gilded elm]

Perhaps the story gets wrapped up before the expansion

Campaign, rather.

But the fact that we're asking these specific questions is the bad part. They didn't anticipate these concerns, or they did and they know we aren't going to like their answer so they didn't share it.

[tawny sand]

it'll make me laugh if they make everyone run through the expansion campaigns too to get to monos

[gilded elm]

What if they pull a D4 and lock power behind Runewords-like thing/Expansion, whilst allowing base game and expansion players to both compete on the same servers.

That would be... gasp Pay to Win

[mental talon]

Oh I'm the biggest doubter at this point I've gone from a believer into straight doomer for the past like year and a half. I'm trying to be nice and give them the benefit of the doubt, but I have very little faith in their development or development pipeline

[twilit mountain]

I've been a doubter since late 0.9

[gilded elm]

Yeah, can completely understand that. Technical competence is not in question IMO, EHG has great devs who can pull off great systems, but there seems to be something happening in leadership and management.

[mental talon]

I think around 0.9 is when I started losing faith tbh. But like I gave them the benefit of the doubt and even when 1.0 launched as hilariously and laughably buggy I stole kinda had a shred of faith. But then Aberrorh patch I gave up and turned full doomer lmao

[gilded elm]

The whole situation felt clearly rushed under pressure.

[mental talon]

"It's fine all these things I've reported for 5 years in Early Access they're gonna surprise me with a fix"

I think when I saw the same leech bug in the Aberroth patch I reported years ago I just finally snapped LMAO

[gilded elm]

And here we are now, the game still feels like early access.

[mental talon]

The game is still early access. IDC what number is put, we've been in the same holding pattern since before they went quiet for a year for the Multiplayer Update

[gilded elm]

At this point I'm probably on copium for hoping that Krafton will actually give EHG the resources to have some breathing room, hire some much need extra hands and start addressing those long standing issues and shifting priorities towards actually polishing the game.

[mental talon]

Yeah I'm full doubting. Hope is afforded to those who have shown that they deserve it tbh.

[tawny sand]

huh at some point i uninstalled last epoch but i don't remember when

i was just about to uninstall lol

[gilded elm]

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Oh my teams in sports are just what happened when I came to America and learned about the sports 26 years ago and I just stuck with em

I became a Colts fan because of a Gatorade commercial back in the day lol

[junior stirrup]

Even without the power delta between peeps playing baseline and expansion, having barrier expansions puts a bit of a segmentation and divergence into the game, having to make everything work with all constellations of the game.

Like with an expansion, say there's a new endgame. Would that be universal or expansion-specific? Would all such content be generic without any expansion touches?

I was going to compare to D4, but I don't actually know how their expansion affected things, I assume that most of their content is in-world and just straight up inaccesible to baseline.

[mental talon]

I mean yeah it's one of the reasons why FPS went away from paid map packs because of you ought them but your buddy didn't playing became increasingly awkward. It's one of those things that depending on the genre makes things far more awkward, tedious, and cumbersome for most (assuming it's paid if it isn't paid then doesn't matter obviously).

[gilded elm]

In D4, there's Runewords, a whole class (Spiritborn) and a region of the open world that is locked behind the expansion. Of course, Runewords and Spiritborn have clear implications on the power delta. Somehow the Runewords (which are an aspect of your build) rubs in a worse way than say a whole class being locked behind an expansion.

Especially because baseline and expansion players can still play together, both share the same economy and open world.

[sage flame]

People are annoyed by it because it's a d2 inspired mechanic

feels like a betrayal

[gilded elm]

I personally think D2 runewords made build diversity worse and that D4's caution in how they approached it was the right call, and I know plenty of people might disagree with how bland it might feel in comparison to D2, but I still think D4's runewords are more conducive to build diversity than D2's.

But yeah, the fact that an aspect of your build is locked behind an expansion, while baseline and expansion players exist in the same economy, feels somehow very wrong to me.

If D4 had a more competitive playerbase, it would be a bigger issue. I don't know if there isn't much outcry because there simply aren't a lot of players or if there isn't any economic player competition.

[sage flame]

I'm not against runewords themselves, but rather the power balance among them

There are many people who believe things like spirit and insight should've been way pricier for example

mostly because of how many things they invalidate

then there's other really good choices like how heart of the oak is largely a direct upgrade to spirit, and its cost reflects that

so I feel like d2 runewords would be way cooler if they were more balanced power level wise

[gilded elm]

My gripe with D2 runewords has always been that certain runewords were just too powerful that they became a "if you don't use it, you're screwing yourself" kind of choice.

Same reason I don't really like D3. I don't like that meta builds are based around set gear.

LE's approach to set bonuses is pretty good IMO

[sage flame]

In a perfect world I'd remove teleport from enigma and add it to a torch-like mechanic

I think one of the mods does that

reimagined? maybe

[gilded elm]

Yeah, Enigma is definitely one of those runewords that made build diversity worse.

[sage flame]

I am 100% in favor of all classes having access to good movement, but I think it's bad that it's locked onto a gear slot

If it was a charm it would've been amazing

[tawny sand]

oh cool sanic racing is getting megaman and protoman

[mental talon]

Is the Sonic racing game good? It looks fun ngl

[tawny sand]

yes, it's good

i'm awful at it though

i got to c rank on line and constantly losing LMAO

[twilit mountain]

The economy in D4 isn't very competitive since it's almost exclusively based around boss summon materials, carry services, and well rolled legendary or unique items. Mythics have to be self-farmed. Crafting mats are account bound. Runes don't hold value outside of the few big ones. You get the idea.

[sand wigeon]

D4 is better as SSF

[twilit mountain]

Runes are also not a make or break thing, you can clear all content without them you'll just be like... maybe 2 to 3 minutes slower in leaderboards and miss some neat build additions, and nobody cares about the leaderboards anyway because they are usually crowned by RMTers who just buy new accounts whenever they get banned

[tawny sand]

lol

[fierce moth]

EHG is good at let players discussing something about le

No idea why people are hype to discuss the new release through no info no date is available

But I don't have ps5 so what can I expect is a big update for controller support only...

I want to try ps5 controller if I can too.

(yes, console gaming is "illegal" here)

[muted parrot]

Somehow ppl like to speculate/doompost 💩
I wish EHG would learn from past experiences and not feed them but here we go again 😐

[fierce moth]

I think it's what EHG want... More speculation/doompost, more influence

[muted parrot]

Probably..it’s just that I thought EHG wouldn’t do such a thing intentionally 😒

[gilded elm]

This goes against all common business sense. Uncertainty among your existing customer base is an extremely unprofitable situation.

The nature of the speculation in this case is very much not good for EHG's reputation.

This is very bad attention that EHG doesn't want.

EHG could have made players feel confident and safe about the direction of the game by saying the two following things in their announcement:

• The campaign will be completed before the expansion
• The expansion will be free for people who own the base game

They did not say these very simple things. "Why did they not say them?" is exactly what is being speculated on.

This does not create "influence."
That's not how influence works.

Zizaran hosting a race to act 4 huh

Feels kinda boring at this point for an event eventhough i dont participate

[junior oyster]

If I wanted to race I'd be playing sonic racing crossworlds.. Oh wait I am

Also paid expansion huh

I'm not against it but I hope they flesh out the base game some more before the expansion

[blissful token]

They didnt mention paid expansion but kinda weird move

The YT video just showcasing all the features the game have (crafting, 4 player online coop, etc) and it will be released for PS5

And the title also include orobyss expansion but nothing is shown or revealed about it

Like.... wat?

Did i miss it or they just put it in the title and actually show nothing but let us know they come along with the ps5 release?

Wat?

[junior oyster]

Expansions being mentioned usually means paid but yea in some cases like terraria or poe1 it's free

[lofty wren]

The refusal to answer if it's free or paid leads me to believe it's a paid expansion

which will honestly make me drop the game

[fierce moth]

Maybe EHG want to do many giveaways of core players to GGG？

It'll quite interesting

[lofty wren]

They got their $$$ from krafton so ig it doesn't matter what happens from now on

[fierce moth]

Oh make sense. EHG have enough money now so they can do whatever they want

I hope it's not because EHG want to go further and further away from players...

[fierce moth]

Figured it out, EHG just don't think so much. They just know they want to play le on ps5 then they post an announcement.

But players always think more so 🤷‍♀️ The drama is here

[blissful token]

My question is... fine ps5 release but why mention the orobyss expansion when there is nothing to show?

There is literally nothing about it in the video but it is in the title

[fierce moth]

Because EHG want to ccok the Orobyss expansion to play but they don't know which contents players want lol

[blissful token]

Then just stick to ps5 in the title

[gilded elm]

EHG created this drama. This is their fault.

[fierce moth]

lol maybe they just want to make a drama

[gilded elm]

This is bad drama. This is bad business. This doesn't make EHG more money. This is how you lose customers.

[fierce moth]

what I feel shocked the most is they announce a plan but they do nothing on prepare work yet

• You can wishlist Last Epoch: Orobyss on PlayStation Store today. We look forward to a new generation of Travelers joining our ranks. See you in Eterra, Traveler.

^ I saw this at the bottom of the PS5 link they posted...

Is this supposed to generate hype for LE: O on PS5?

The way it is communicated is least effective at best

Yep i am positive, the YT video and LE forum have nothing to with the expansion, they all just redirect you to the PS5 blog (via the description) and in the PS5 blog is where it mentions you can wishlist LE: O at the very bottom of the blog

That tiny mention feels like those fast food ad disclaimer in a very fine print, "this is for illustration purpose only" somewhere in the ad

[gilded elm]

I had a whopper earlier lol

[fierce moth]

oh never know hurbinger can calls whopper

[gilded elm]

Just that one from Burger King is called a whopper, typically

[blissful token]

Nah, its a BurgerKing thing

[fierce moth]

Will a cat smells fishy if this cat ate fish products all the time or it just a feature of a cat?

[blissful token]

My cats dont smell fishy though. But my friend's dog mouth smell fishy when given fish product 👀

Somehow the cats removed the smell, probably from their saliva and self-cleaning

[fierce moth]

Hah saliva and self-clean. Yes make sense

I should buy minced chicken one next time. My fault 😅

The blue meat stick is what I fed Yarn, it includes minced tuna and fish roe. Both of them is fishy.

[blissful token]

That is just snack and not staple food, no?

Usually used to train or encourage them

[fierce moth]

Should I say yes or no to say yes?

Need to check out which staple food my parents purchased tonight

[blissful token]

To avoid confusion, i always say in full sentence when it comes to these kinda situation

Yes, it is not a staple food

[fierce moth]

Yes? No.
No? Yes.
No? No.
Yes? Yes.

[blissful token]

Language is not math equation where positive negative = negative, negative negative = positive

[fierce moth]

But I remember that staple food is quite fishy when I open the pot to get some 🤔
99.9% chance for it's where the issue is

[blissful token]

Kibbles?

[desert jasper]

Hmm... not sure what to think LE getting an expansion when the campaign isn't even fully done yet

If you've to buy it I'm probably just done with LE tbh

[vagrant topaz]

If its a paid extension in the way we know them, like D4 I might be too

We'll see, no need to boil your spleen (translation of a French saying) over smth we don't have any control over

[blissful token]

Hows D4 expansion like?

Like FF14?

[desert jasper]

I read that as "your screen" first and was confused lul

[vagrant topaz]

The new class, the new region and new bit of story are only playable for thoses who bought the xpac

So I guess same as ff14, dunno didn't play it

But that's usually how it's done

[fierce moth]

Another hacked user

[vagrant topaz]

😭

Nice someone got him

Didn't have to spend 25 min doing it on phone

[fierce moth]

What makes it need 25 mins?

[desert jasper]

Mobile is slow for moderating
horribly slow

[placid yarrow]

lol

[desert jasper]

And I completely missed it
was in the kitchen

[placid yarrow]

yeah you gotta hold down and scroll on every message

[vagrant topaz]

The ui and ux on phone for moderation is awfull

[placid yarrow]

while on pc it's just one click

[vagrant topaz]

It could be much simpler if we could ¡ban 😏

[blissful token]

Yea sounds like it in FF14 then. Locked behind content

[desert jasper]

They also still compete on the same leaderboards
and for a long time the dlc class was the strongest thing in the game

[blissful token]

balanced

[desert jasper]

as all things should be

[fierce moth]

@junior stirrup which map in Poe 2 is your favourite one?

I'm trying to find a direction to prepare for the latest fan art competition, you're not a judge so it will not break the rules

[junior stirrup]

I actually don't know, having only played like Steppe and Augury back in 0.1.

Barely made it to maps in 0.1, didn't play 0.2 much at all, 0.3 is still in Act 4 town while I'm playing Factorio.

[fierce moth]

Emmmmmmmmm...

😅
Enjoy your game.

Maybe I should ask @misty meteor because he has sponsored me the ea access

I want to check out that infinite hole under waterfall the most because it just looks too amazing on the concept art, but it's on act 6, which is mean I must wait half of year more, at least if I want to visit 🙃

For everyone who don't check that concept art out yet:
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vb38Pd

We can jump down to abyssal depth now, it mean GGG have corresponding animations already, just need to implement that map in engine

I don't think anyone else can over him in recent years, that's the description I will give to the level of how shocking it's

[junior stirrup]

Reminded me of Muse - Bliss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMqsWc8muj8

[blissful token]

Oof... #💬┃general is almost at it again

[desert jasper]

Yeaa
general being general

[fierce moth]

😂😂😂😂

15 years ago.

Sorry I was a little girl only

[junior stirrup]

The song is actually from 2001 ^_^

[desert jasper]

Good song

[glass pollen]

@fierce moth I made so much money in .2 selling spears and then everyone quit early so I basically spent the rest of the league funding so many dumb builds. Best way to learn stuff is just make a new toon and brick it. Also if you walk away from the league with anything it’s learn the new crafting stuff it’s gonna be insane for the future. Very important for players to learn this crafting it’s gonna be backbone for a lot going forward

I can’t make a Fubgun build but I can now make a build that clears content and pinnacles. It’s fun cooking up bullshit in Poe. Poe 2 gonna be wild down the line

[fierce moth]

Oh. Then I'm a baby only. 1 year old.

[fierce moth]

I learnt how to craft, but I lack of currencies to do crafting all the time

Exalted orbs I owns just enough to juice waystones... No luck for sudden free divine-orb-level items yet

[glass pollen]

It’s all about the market

Right now is rough

Market kind of exploded

League starts are so important

You can do it but I just craft bows

But I also have currency so it’s one of those need money to make

My buddy is broke but he is making good money from wands

[fierce moth]

2. "Other players will not prove your works because they're copied from the game."

Reframe: You are moving the arena of recognition. Seeking validation from random players in-game is like showing your landscape painting to a hiker and expecting them to be impressed you "own" the mountain. Their goal is hiking (playing the game), not appreciating art.

🥴 😔 Alright. Deepseek maybe said something true...

But find the suitable audiences is tough...

It's the same case on game exhibitions too. Players just appreciate how fun a game is on gameplay because it's a game at first

[fierce moth]

Oh I see.

鱼油 (fish oil) ...
@blissful token

This thing is very fishy

[blissful token]

lol

fish oil is strong

[gilded elm]

I would probably still buy an expansion because LE is still a good single player experience, so even if the game goes under I'm still left with a good offline experience if it comes down to that.

But I'm seeing everywhere that there's a lot of criticism from people about this announcement because apparently tons of people bought into the game based on the "all future content is free" promises made over the years from the forums and on Mike's streams.

I can totally understand people feeling upset, betrayed even. I genuinely hope things work out for EHG and they can turn this situation into a net positive 🙏

[fierce moth]

Questions for CM's interview:

I remind of them

I understand why these problems are needed to ask in an interview now

[desert jasper]

Yeaa
Last time I had interview for position that had customer service they also asked what is the best experience I've had in customer service
I had previously been told that I make her feel safe by a person that was in rehab at our work
so it was an easy answer

I barely ended up doing customer service at that job anyway and was there for 2 years
Kinda miss it
miss the coworkers. I do have their numbers so I could just contact them whenever but it would be kinda awkward at this point
especially because it was for work reasons that I had their numbers

[twilit mountain]

Tbf Spiritborn for like three seasons was 85 bugs in a trench coat pretending to be a class

[sand wigeon]

Much like all of LE.

[fierce moth]

so what an easy answer for questions for cm interview above?

😅 I still don't have ideas

[sand wigeon]

Depends if you care about integrity or not.

I’d just make something up that fits what I believe the employer wants out of me.

[twilit mountain]

Yeah, I just bullshit interviews.

[junior oyster]

Pretty decent start imo

Game is a little buggy at times I feel (been playing during my breaks on steamdeck the last three days)

But otherwise pretty fun

[fierce moth]

I see. It depend on do I care that game or not. I'm here for money only or passion at this area.

🤷‍♀️ I don't know. I don't know should I care about a game from heart. I never experience that because I'm afraid of anything I care will be broken one day by unpredictable conditions. I don't want to afford the pain of losing something I care so I just don't care anything 100%.

It's my scar and I can't be recovered from that yet... Just self-protection

[sand wigeon]

I’m just a lot more jaded than you, Kirra.

[fierce moth]

The condition of providing emotional value is...I know how to love people. Well I never know because I never feel be loved and I'm seeking that all the time

🤔 I guess this is the biggest block for this job. People who can do that must healthy on mental

[blissful token]

okay.. abyssal pits in sinking spire kinda dont make sense cuz i didn see it at the lower floor

imagine there is abyssal depth

unless it is preprogrammed to not appear in this map

[desert jasper]

Funny thing is
"Vasara" means hammer in Finnish

[fierce moth]

Remain 9h available for playing poe 2 unless I keep paying for the new booster

Maybe I should try can I play that with vpn only later

[blissful token]

cleared my first citadel

[fierce moth]

Do you get a divine orb from citadel's boss

[blissful token]

nope

but i get it from random drop in citadel boss map

left the pinnacle boss to get the last 2 points

[fierce moth]

😂 I guess we're talking about the same thing

[junior oyster]

I have yet to do citadels

[fierce moth]

How to get boss atlas points?

Mine is 0 still...

[blissful token]

would have gotten the 7th and 8th point just now if i didn't die to earlier citadel guarded by jamanra

that dud 1 shotted me

i killed doryani boss in this citadel just fine

[blissful token]

its written there when u hover over

[fierce moth]

🤔 anomly map boss = deadly map boss?

[blissful token]

yea

[fierce moth]

🤔 Thanks, this is my new goal

[blissful token]

i got to lv91 😁

[junior oyster]

Nice

Bit tired today so probably not gunna play poe2 but I'm trying to hit 93

[blissful token]

i think i can transit to uber strict loot filter now

been using very strict for a while now

[junior oyster]

Same

Too bad I have 0% rarity xD

Apparently more chance of seeing exceptional bases this way though

[fierce moth]

Oh... My memory is so bad

[junior oyster]

Wait you didn't spend any points?

[fierce moth]

😅 I forget I have points completely

[blissful token]

kirra handicapping herself

[junior oyster]

Tbf those points make bosses tougher

And some bosses are super scary lol

[fierce moth]

make sense on why I think bosses are quite easy to kill and their drops are quite poor

[blissful token]

oo rakiata dropped in price

19 div now

[blissful token]

hax

[desert jasper]

Dropped from the ritual boss

[junior oyster]

I had a near perf one sold for 1d

That's how nerfed this belt got

Feelsbadman

[desert jasper]

no idea what to sell this one for tbh

[junior oyster]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFw6FO5FXEM

Alright give us megaman x please

[blissful token]

pretty good progress today

gonna do the remaining 2 citadels tmr

[fierce moth]

I find myself into the music of boss combat in this map so much

[desert jasper]

Ah great
The black crow in maps is sitll bugged

And it's like
one of the few maps on the way to citadel

[junior oyster]

Hate that boss so much

Not because of mechanics but because you can't skip his phases

Like stop talking and transform

[desert jasper]

so because that shit's bugged I'll have to go around an extremely long way
Not gonna lie, I imagined he'd be fixed by now
but apparently no fixing

[junior oyster]

How do you go around when you are stuck in arena with him?

[desert jasper]

I mean reaching the citadel
i'll just take the death to the boss and go through other maps

[junior oyster]

Oh

[desert jasper]

which will take a long time

[junior oyster]

Don't die

Just exit the game for 15~mins

Why lose exp

[fierce moth]

alright I need to find a citadel... Where my citadel is...

[desert jasper]

Really fun losing the highest tier waystone I've had thanks to it

[junior oyster]

Shoulda known boss wasn't fixed 😂

[desert jasper]

Well
it feels like GGG just doesn't care about fixing about stuff like that

Is it a lack of people reporting the bug
or them not figuring it out
hell, it's a well known bug, why not disable the boss in maps?

[junior oyster]

Was it a bug in 0.1/0.2?

[desert jasper]

Well
there were people reporting about it in april this year
can't remember if that was still 0.1 or 0.2

[junior oyster]

0.2 then

[desert jasper]

Yeah 0.2

[junior oyster]

I was dpsing crow pretty hard in 0.1

Didn't bug it out

And skipped 0.2

[desert jasper]

Yeah I played 0.1 until like... lvl 71

[junior oyster]

96 or 97 here lol

[desert jasper]

But yeah
looks like there's a massive thread on their forums
with constant posts from April with people complaining about this exact thing

[junior oyster]

Indie game 🥹

[desert jasper]

Small dev team, free game
Can't give negative feedback

[fierce moth]

🫡 I'm not far away from breaking my level curse. But the pity is boss in this map will drop nothing :(

[desert jasper]

Holy... they knew about it possibly getting stuck on december 7th...

[junior oyster]

Great for levelling and fairly easy too

[desert jasper]

or well, it's in the known issues where the post is dated on december 7th
edited 12th

Yeah, untainted paradise is great

[junior oyster]

Not sure what the boss is for UP though

[desert jasper]

oh easy
The boss is me

[junior oyster]

Crow xD

[fierce moth]

I break the level curse now

Ok next goal, let's see can I reach 96

🤭 🙂 ...
Then I'm slain by a group of white minion monsters with chaos resistance mod and lose all exp because I stacked poor exp in lv 92.

The amount of them just don't reduce at all...

[blissful token]

can you esc and return to checkpoint for the black crow encounter?

[junior oyster]

Nope

Game is saved where you exit

In map

Only way to leave map is either dying or alt + f4 and coming back as that char after about 10-15mins

[fervent hazel]

Hey Canadian's it's time to rebel against your government's ruthless attempts to kill your privacy.

https://openmedia.org/Stop-BillC2

[junior oyster]

Sorry dude but no politics here

[blissful token]

So you try to lose the instance or something?

[junior oyster]

Yep

If I'm at 0% exp I'm happy to die

If I'm at 20% I'm not happy

[blissful token]

The exp loss preservation omen thingy was a luxury in 0.1 lol

[junior oyster]

It still is

One of them is worth like 7ex

If you have 0 rarity like me buying them is still kinda expensive

Me personally wishes there was no exp penalty

I don't mind losing map but hate losing exp

[blissful token]

I spent lotsa ex on strongboxes and 6 modding maps

[junior oyster]

Makes me want to quit faster

[blissful token]

[fierce moth]

🤔 emmmm? The 3rd name the pit has

[blissful token]

I havent seen any

[junior oyster]

Same

[twilit mountain]

Mine is kinda cracked. I just use it, it's really comfy for my build.

[twilit mountain]

Yeah, I have issues not with being punished for death in general but with how much I'm punished for death.

[fierce moth]

Oh the arena for the boss combat is harder to avoid ||balls||, that's the difference.

[warped wren]

Can't wait for 3.27

So we can play the actual good game

[twilit mountain]

I've relegated myself to playing melee in 3.27 in honor of Alwheezy

[warped wren]

You'll enjoy it actually, slams are pretty good

So are strikes, if you're okay with weaker clear

And then you just get the currency for Flicker and delete everything

And swap in Double Strike for pinnacles

[twilit mountain]

Nuh uh, I'm the queen of stubbornness and played Flicker on ubers

(Don't do that btw, it's annoying)

[warped wren]

If you're Berserker you could legit do that

With the hydrosphere + prev strike location tech

[twilit mountain]

No you don't understand, I've already killed all ubers on Flicker

[warped wren]

[twilit mountain]

I'm distinctly playing not Flicker melee in 3.27 because Flicker, while being probably my favorite skill in any ARPG, is bullshit when you scale it enough

[warped wren]

I'll see what I wanna play. I've actually never played Flicker

[twilit mountain]

Give it a try. It's really funny.

[warped wren]

I was thinking either pconc->bouncy->Mamba PF, or Romira's Flicker of Power Berserker

Because new Berserker looks kinda nice

[mental talon]

Hi did someone say Melee

[copper quail]

@hidden scroll this is the video Mike was referring to on PoE procedural world generation https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EXnoHTqO7TE

[fierce moth]

Alright I'm serious, very serious, extreme serious to say this thing.

Get xp penalty out of poe 2, please, thank you so much.

[warped wren]

this is really smart for a leaguestart setup: https://poe.ninja/builds/mercenaries/character/GamerAnt1-6974/Dogcenary?timemachine=day-4&i=3&search=timemachine%3Dweek-1%26class%3DBerserker%26skills%3DFlicker%2BStrike%2Bof%2BPower%26items%3D!Mageblood

just blast the screen while self sustain Power and Endurance charges

[desert jasper]

It's not going to happen.
They're still fans of diablo2 and I'm honestly just surprised there's no stamina mechanic in poe2 for running
i mean, sure you get knocked down if you get hit while running but that's not the same

[warped wren]

you will eat shit and you will like it - GGG probably

[twilit mountain]

Yeah hi, I'm waiting for notes before I pick a skill but I am tempted to go Ground Slam just cuz the visuals are funny

[mental talon]

I like death penalty personally tbh (man that sentence is freaking weird to read back). POE 2 just doesnt have the scaling like POE 1 to fly up to lvl 100 if you care about it enough

[mental talon]

Im waiting for notes because I am coping that self casters will be good

[twilit mountain]

SURELY

[mental talon]

(I also want to play Assassin and will keep coping)

Smile

[twilit mountain]

What you don't want to play the crit-poison confusion class?

[mental talon]

Pathfinder has it too good for too long for Poison.

Im fighting for my life here Deias 😭

[mental talon]

Listen. Self Cast? Buffed. Assassin? Buffed. PBoD? Deleted. WORB? We're so back.

[twilit mountain]

Careful dude, don't overdose

[mental talon]

Despair

[warped wren]

there's like, 2 poison builds that make any sense whatsoever (not counting FROSS which is getting nuked from orbit)

you're either low tolerance stacker or you're bouncy pconc

I wish they made bow poison sensible again, outside of the tincture shenanigans from Affliction

[jade jackal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50ykp-2-_iw hmmm

[mental talon]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3860076

There it is. Towers only for LoS, Tablets are Scarabs

All maps have bosses

[junior oyster]

F

I like to sometimes not fight certain bosses 😭

[warped wren]

bosses are unironically easier than many rares

[junior oyster]

True but some are scarier

Like the sirus dude

For me at least

[twilit mountain]

When is this patch?

[junior oyster]

Next week

[twilit mountain]

Sweet

[junior oyster]

Didn't check video but forum doesn't state a day

Looks like I'm gunna have to forcefully quit maps if I don't want to fight a particular boss sigh

[tawny sand]

I like the part when Jonathan says "we wanted bosses to feel challenging and rewarding" and then like 10 seconds later there's a clip of someone melting a boss quickly

[twilit mountain]

Just get enough DPS to delete them

[junior oyster]

Ofc ofc

[twilit mountain]

It's not as hard as you think

[mental talon]

I'm honestly out of the loop and maybe Im cooked but is any of the map bosses hard? Like even when I played juiced bosses in 0.1 with a Warbringer they were all kinda just braindead easy.

[junior oyster]

Skill issue I guess

[warped wren]

maybe 1 or 2

[junior oyster]

I'll avoid certain bosses like the plague

One example is fake Sirus

[mental talon]

Which ones.

[jade jackal]

That's PoE in a nutshell

[mental talon]

I could see maybe Monkey when youre aware, he got me in 0.1 lmao

[warped wren]

uhhh I think the wax statue because he seems to be kinda bugged with his his animation vs when the damage goes out

[jade jackal]

If efficiency doesnt exist, people wont touch it

[warped wren]

and monkey

[junior oyster]

Also I'm very queasy about fighting big hitter bosses in general like silverfist

[warped wren]

monkey has this same problem

[junior oyster]

I could probably do the dps if set up properly but bosses like monkey are usually too fast and hard hitting

And ofc map mods don't help

I miss the prefix mods

Benefit the player rather than enemies

[gilded elm]

GGG announcing major endgame changes for 0.4 as well as implementing core mechanical changes to endgame in 0.3.1, they're kinda cooking

Honestly dunno how they rapidly push out so many changes mid-league

[junior oyster]

Overtime

[gilded elm]

Yeah, GGG's development cycles seem to be highly agile

Wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot of overtime too lol

[tawny sand]

oh dang Tokyo Xtreme Racer 25 released 1.0

[gilded elm]

This video does confirm in a more definitive way that the direction of PoE2 is indeed moving closer towards "PoE1 with better graphics" and tbh, I'm not mad.

[twilit mountain]

That's kinda what I wanted PoE2 to be. PoE1 but less muddy and with improvements.

[warped wren]

makes you wonder why we have 2 games don't it
