Well, the league is dead rn so not much trading
But you only just reached maps right?
people don't trade in campaign generally
orchid yacht
oh no, last time I played was like, last year?
I stopped shortly after beating Kitava
so start of endgame? I think
pine wedge
Which Kitava lol
second Kitava?
Then you were right at the start of endgame
Also, trading currancy is so so much nicer now than with gear due to the exchange
orchid yacht
https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/poison-blade-vortex-assassin-build-guide
Here it is, I was using this
I farmed so much to get a Cold Point
pine wedge
you just give the currancy to an NPC and come back when it's sold
orchid yacht
never found it
pine wedge
Yeah, that's where trading comes in
orchid yacht
Then you were right at the start of endgame
I remember just unlocking the Atlas, did a couple of maps but then bounced off
pine wedge
Cold Point isn't that expansive even at league start
Typically, you limp through the first couple maps until you get a decent drop and that gives you the starting cash you need to start upgrading
orchid yacht
I was lowkey keeping all uniques I found, even dupes
And all the gems I found
cause you never know, y'know
pine wedge
yeah....don't do that lol
orchid yacht
Safe to say I had a very newbie solo experience
pine wedge
yeah
orchid yacht
That's why i'm pumped to start from scratch again
With the funds for some tabs, if need be lmao
a currency one for sure
pine wedge
collecting gems is peak noob trap (I did it, Zizarin did it apparently lol)
orchid yacht
what's the mindset on that?
You keep the high quality ones and scrap the rest to vendors?
pine wedge
Well, collecting gems in PoE1 lol
pine wedge
what's the mindset on that?
You keep the high quality ones and scrap the rest to...
Exactly
And even then
Quality is meh outside of league start
remember
orchid yacht
lowkey my fav changes to PoE2 are the socket changes and the gems changes
no more hunting for the perfect 6 link
pine wedge
there is a vender in Act 6 that will sell every gem in the game for pennies at level 1 and 0 quality
and leveling gems is super quick below like level 15
orchid yacht
oh you mean, what's her name
The pirate lady?
pine wedge
yep
orchid yacht
Aye I remember her
pine wedge
There are a couple gems she won't sell
but they rare
and your loot filter will highlight them
orchid yacht
Someone told me the only ones you keep are Vaal ones, cause those are random
pine wedge
ehhhhh
at league start sure
but if someone just wants a vaal gem without quality after like week 1 they'll just make it
pine wedge
It's a single step for Vaal Gems lol
Vaal orb it
did it work?
do it again if no
repeat
orchid yacht
mh, got a lot to learn for sure.
Which is great actually with the new system
But still, lot to learn
I liked the option to go blind, but after some point, it's really hard
pine wedge
I mean, most of us are still blind
majority of the passive tree is hidden
and we don't know the uniques
orchid yacht
but you're familiar with the whole systems, how to handle the game as a whole
pine wedge
and endgame is a massive ??????
pine wedge
You want the things people will look for on rares while trading?
orchid yacht
I remember endlessly running the Labyrinth of the Ancient cause that was my favourite game mode at the time
orchid yacht
I- mh
It seemed fun at the time? and also treasure chest gambling I guess
cinder shoal
It's all in the fountain, baby.
orchid yacht
Merciless labrynth was my jam
pine wedge
which, depending when you play, either gave enchantments to gear that buffed skills or lets you gamble with gems to see if you get a valuable tranfigured gem
orchid yacht
then again, I reached lvl 70 and that's when I stopped
pine wedge
(lab was changed in the last year so the exact league you played has a massive impact on this lol)
Yeah, I play PoE so I can kill so much shit on screen my computer lags
aka mapping
orchid yacht
Mh, let me search a sec
Affliction league seems to be the one I played
played a lot of Ancestor, my last day was December 17th of last year
pine wedge
Ok, Affliction had Tranfigured gems
which is how you make lab money now
It's not exact a newb strat tho lol
because you need to know what builds are popular
So you know what tranfigured gems people are going to pay for
Ancestor was old lab rewards tho
which was enchanting head pieces and selling them as crafting bases
orchid yacht
I'm gonna be honest, without being into trading, I did it cause I liked the vibe of the big dude and thea atmosphere
and..the atlas scared me
pine wedge
(there also was being hired to enchant a specific helmet for someone, but that required you being known so people knew you weren't going to jack their shit)
orchid yacht
I was barely able to do heists
pine wedge
Heists are also super weird
The atlas isn't very scary tbh
just grab a map and kill everything in it
orchid yacht
it was more the "Here's a giant new system" enjoy
pine wedge
then grab one that dropped and continue onwards
orchid yacht
ye I figured that much later
pine wedge
doing new maps until you decided to run one repeatedly for stuff
orchid yacht
but my build was also a bit scuffed, I didn't know resistances were that important
I just stacked evasion and hoped my Vaal Vortex would kill stuff fast enough
pine wedge
oof yeah
orchid yacht
which, was also a bit scuffed
cause to charge it I had to be up close and personal
With the normal vortex
fervent raptor
Nvidia have put out a driver targeting PoE2 (among others)
pine wedge

fervent raptor
Oh, for minion folk spectres won't be available on release
Word is it's been causing problems so disabled for the time being
orchid yacht
the permanent summons? ah it's oke
fervent raptor
Nah spectres are temp minions
orchid yacht
i see, good heads up nonetheless
pine wedge
Nah spectres are temp minions
Bind Spectre is a permanent minion
Explicity so
they mentioned it during the witch revel live stream
It's one of the major changes from PoE1 to 2 for minion characters
fervent raptor
oh I thought the spectres were temp ones you raised from corpses 🤔 mb I've never really done minions
pine wedge
They're shown zombies and weird bone creatures that are temporary
fervent raptor
I think spiders are the only minions I've ever played come to think of it
I'm ready

Can't wait to be position 650733 in the queue

They are sweating- damn
Gonna be able to play maybe in 2 days, so at least I don't have to stay and wait.
Ye tho, get a backup plan
low delta
man i can’t wait to see the mercenary
i’ve been playing a fuckton of grim dawn in anticipation
vestal vault
I can't justify paying for a game that'll release for free in a few months from now, but damn im excited about poe2
low delta
that’s kinda real i just need to shoot someone with a shotgun crossbow NOW

I can't justify paying for a game that'll release for free in a few months from ...
more likely 6 months to a year but understendable
frail panther
so did servers explode?
orchid yacht
they game is going live in about 9 hours
frail panther
ah
I just heard in passing from a friend - yeah try another day when servers aren't on fire
while at work myself
orchid yacht
which is funny if you live in europe, cause on one side of the world you'll play from the morning hours
In europe, it's a late night drop
usual MMO/Expansion type deal
First day is a no-go
From the second/third should be good, but I would wait till the 9th to let the dust settle
fervent raptor
I just heard in passing from a friend - yeah try another day when servers aren't...
The preload exploded their website haha
frail panther
ah, maybe that's what it was
orchid yacht
told you that "Ah yes, league numbers" would be very far off
fervent raptor
The game servers are on notice for exploding - they prepped for 1m players initially, calling it "unlikely"
And now they've sold that many keys already plus more to come
orchid yacht
hope we do not reach "Helldivers" levels of situation
fervent raptor
Well, even GGG were not anticipating anywhere near this - league launches are normally like, 4-500k so
orchid yacht
They are truly, suffering from success
frail panther
They're diablo now
orchid yacht
"Long live the king"
as Diablo slowly fades into obscurity.
which mind you, comes from no hate (which they deserve, cause Blizzard) but simply cause it's a better product.
CohCarnage made a video on the last Diablo DLC (40 quids btw)
Which had laughable writing
fervent raptor
Well, frankly I'm not entirely sure PoE2 is going to provide the story content he was looking for there, but also GGG aren't Blizzard with all the expectations there
orchid yacht
let's put it like this,
Diablo has failed, so the bar is pretty low already
So either, we get a mostly decent story, like in PoE1, which would be ok
Or we get something else entirely, which would be the last nail of the coffin frankly
cause instead of spending 70+40 bucks for a mediocre game
you get a great one for free
fervent raptor
Well, I'd say PoE stands apart on gameplay more than anything else, so other aspects being better would certainly cement their status up there
And for sure when it launches fully - it's a tad nebulous with the EA buy-in but also it's still a better pricing model than D4
orchid yacht
aye, the premise is good here at least
Gotta see how it all turns out tho
fervent raptor
Mmm, turns out when the company is passionate about their product from the top down then you get quality
orchid yacht
who would have thought
fervent raptor
God it's 7 hours away and I am buzzing
orchid yacht
the fact that tomorrow I'm on a trip is good and bad at the same time
Cause at least i'm physically away from my PC, instead of being tempted
Twitter
orchid yacht
Apparently it wasn't enough then
fervent raptor
There are timezones to consider haha
orchid yacht
Also UK chart

Still undecided if I wanna create a twitch account specifically for the drops.
On one hand, free stuff
On the other, twitch
fervent raptor
I'm 100% grabbing them I have my old account just to farm their drops haha

outstanding move
fervent raptor
I just like adding portals to the collection haha

I was actually looking to buy one, cause it was very nice
But the Halo effect and the portal are very nice

not sure if said patch has happened or not yet
only just got home (and the quote is from like 12 hours ago)
with that being said, I'm doing nothing so I'll display some more naturalisation and sit in a potentially meaningless queue
grizzled hamlet
fervent raptor
I'm actually a little sad the game icon is the same
grizzled hamlet
im sure theyll get around to updating it
fervent raptor

oh apparently steam client isn't up yet so queue is definitely not real
right that gif was getting annoying
vestal vault
Who's ready for an hour long queue
vestal vault
I mean this is about the same amount of people who were there for New World release and queue took me an hour ish
I'm hopeful
grizzled hamlet
honestly with the devs posting the video going "yeah so we have a million sign ups, we dont know if it will hold"
theres two outcomes
it either works surpringsly well
or its playable by sunday

it's fine, queue will be reset

and apparently early name grabs from the occasional fuckup this morning will be reset too
grizzled hamlet
if i can grab just

ill be extremely happy

and apparently early name grabs from the occasional fuckup this morning will be ...
Oh?
grizzled hamlet
otherwise ill settle for a JennyWasHere as my first character
pine wedge
Going for Micky
fervent raptor
I'll attempt for Fool but not hopeful haha
pine wedge
Micky can stay up for a while I find
thank god for my inability to spell common names
fervent raptor
anywho, time to get food on and do some laundry
pine wedge
I could fall back to Ponkatt, but that name is like almost a digital deadname at this point? My relationship to it is real weird.
orchid yacht
I've fallen off from my old one fairly recently, usually I try to go with In- character names if I can
fervent raptor
oh maybe '08, actually
orchid yacht
I've been using it since 2007
My old username stems from Super Smash Bros Brawl -
Which was at least, 13 years ago-
pine wedge
my username is old enough to drive
Ponkatt was the name of the Barb I played through Diablo 2 with my Dad on.
fervent raptor
Mine is from a Halo 3 mini-clan
orchid yacht
Ponkatt was the name of the Barb I played through Diablo 2 with my Dad on.
Honestly, that's incredibly cute
Also I like how it sounds
pine wedge
It's a great story, and great memory
but also
Ponkatt means diablo 2 barbarian in my mind
which
ah
is not exactly gender affirming to modern me
orchid yacht
Gotta keep them separate, understandable
pine wedge
Micky is the name of my FFXIV catgirl
orchid yacht
If I went with my FF name
It wouldn't fit
pine wedge
and I was called it constantly for several years when I was an active raider
orchid yacht
Full on Name and Surname on that one
pine wedge
Oh, her full name would not fit either
But I was constantly called Micky
until the point I will react IRL if I hear the name
orchid yacht
It's the association aye, I tend to keep them separate especially if they are for single player games.
Like, I will never re-use the name I used for Baldurs Gate 3
It stays with the character
fervent raptor
I'm actually somewhat torn
Grabbing some variation of (Weird)Fool would be good for the historic nature of the event, but also I've hardly ever used it as a character name in games
It me, not them
orchid yacht
Aye
I use Jericho a lot nowadays, but mostly in inconsequential games like FPS
If I'm playing a character, it's their voice, not mine
The name is also related to the character, their background or birthplace
It's like DnD names basically
fervent raptor
Was literally just thinking that haha
orchid yacht
Dm mentality showing
Playing a witch I may borrow from an Eastern European name, or an English name.
Just like a barbarian wouldn't be called Sir Brandiford The Enlightened
(Althought it would be very funny)
pine wedge
My character is my avatar to other people so I want the name to match is how I think of it.
i.e. my character's name is my name
fervent raptor
Oh, I have a loose scheme for names (which Jenny might recognise from my various poe characters) that's not especially related to the character itself, it's just more that "WeirdFool" is the person behind all of them and not any one of the characters, so I don't use it
orchid yacht
nod nod I personally can't much strain from this DnD - focused mentality, it's a habit I can't really switch off
pine wedge
My DnD character names are always scuffed as fuck lmao
I generally leave it for absolute last
to borrow a Magic term, I am extremely bottom up when making characters
and names are the last step lol
orchid yacht
Having a writer's background, names are like titles for me
It's either the first thing I know when I write about a character, or you can be certain it will be the last.
writing in first person helps
frigid kernel
I usually name the character something related to what I want the gameplay to be like
My first boneshatterjugg was named SkeletonGruk
orchid yacht
PainTrain

My first srs guardian was AngryGiovanni

No, please, not the angry italian man

My first rf chief was SexiestGruk
So hot that everyone around him burns
The coc dd I did in necro was Whirling_in_rags
pine wedge
apparently the patch number is still the same compared to earlier?
so it might still be fake
also for the love of god open up steam
fervent raptor
oh if it's not on steam then it's not real 😦
pine wedge
apperently GGG has said they might reset the queue again
fervent raptor
apparently every time they do a minor server side patch it'll reset the queue
I don't think GGG have said anything recently on discord
oh, from one of the mods there

I've accepted the fact that today is the bumpiest of days to try to play, so i'm cool with it

It's hard since there are not many resources at early levels, so it's somewhat expected to be a bit janky

ember nimbus
Having beaten act 1 with two classes and act 2 with one class I can understand and emphasize with the growing frustrations and criticisms regarding the game, but at the same time is pretty evident that it’s coming from a population that just wanted to mid max and zoom zoom one click through everything like in POE 1. It’s clear now that GGG wants to take 2 down a slower and deliberate route. I do agree that everything now seems currently overturned against the player and that both drop rates and damage could use a boost. It’s just sad and funny to see people doomsaying about a game that just barely out who knows what it will look like in 6 months let alone on a time scale similar to POE 1. I do think though that ggg could’ve cooked it a little longer and released early access around March of next year.
low delta
yeah i do see the high damage against me, especially bosses
i die fast, but that's fun for me so i don't care much
vestal vault
I've been finding the game kinda just way too easy as a witch
Also of course people are doomsaying, they already put all the expectations of this being an anti diablo 4 to destroy and humiliate blizzard or some dumbass gamer crap
Gaming culture nowadays has become unbearably toxic

I've been finding the game kinda just way too easy as a witch
what would you say the contributing factor is?

IUf i havent played POE before, but generally like ARPGS like this (I had a good time with Diablo 3), worth buyting in?
fervent raptor
Well, part of the flaw with feedback this early is that the people enjoying the game are more likely to jus be playing it instead of taking to Reddit
With that being said, having seen a lot of opinions about difficulty in PoE1 I can imagine how badly people are taking this
It does feel like a much more measured, intentional difficulty though
fervent raptor
IUf i havent played POE before, but generally like ARPGS like this (I had a good...
At the moment it's challenging and somewhat slow, a marked difference from what I remember of D3
It's less customisable than it'd like to be with things missing from EA or not working fully
I feel like we'll be in for an item droprate tune before too long - it's certainly less than I was expecting following the post-reveal Q&A
We need either more rares or straight regal shards dropping
solar vigil
i wish killing palm like, put an effect on an enemy, and you got a power charge if you kill an enemy while it has the effect
or just kill it with the damage of the skill outright
cos it feels a bit clunky tbh
knotty glacier
At the moment it's challenging and somewhat slow, a marked difference from what ...
Slow isnt bad to me - i'd prefer combat that's meaty. I'm hearing people call it Path of Souls 2, and that sounds pretty good to me?
one big issue i have with arpgs is them getting mindless - i'm not a fan of the X survivor style where y ou just Hold down button, win
fervent raptor
Like I do genuinely think a bunch of the difficulty problems stem from itemisation and keeping up (or failing to keep up) with upgrades atm
Oh no, it's definitely not mindless combat atm
I could probably stream a little of it, but suffice to say I'm not exploding screens of enemies with a button press
And there's a lot more focus on how your skills interact such that just spamming one skill probably won't work out for you
knotty glacier
That sort of thing is the sorto f hting that makes me interested
fervent raptor
So atm (for example) I'm primarily firing waves of frostbolts to chill enemies and potentially freeze them
As a main source of damage I then have a second skill, cold snap, which explodes either a frost bolt itself (which means I need to use it at the correct time when the bolt is actually on an enemy) or frozen enemies (which is why I've specced my fbolt to freeze better)
It's very mana intensive to spam though, so I've got to be pretty measured with the csnap usage
If I wanted to add a third layer, I could potentially drop a fire wave ahead of the bolts which would cause them to ignite enemies on hit, and then spec some ignite stuff
low delta
yeah like the merc’s got a shotgun blast that deals a fuckton of extra damage vs frozen enemies, and like the second skill you get is freezing people
fervent raptor
Also not long until I unlock some meta gems, which activate skills when you do certain things, so in my case I'll be putting a high damage skill on "Cast on freeze" and really dipping into that focus

A lot of people on the Poe 1 reddit are dooming and saying that this isn’t gonna change for some reason. Like this is day 3 of a minimum 6 month long early access

solar vigil

Not massive but they can def tune things
And that can solve/help a lot of the issues people are facing
The maps being huge may be a bit more of an intensive problem tho
Since you gotta get in there and change how it generates
grizzled hamlet
from what i remember of their map generating templates
it probably wont be the most most massive of challenges to make the zones a bit smaller
solar vigil
And I feel like buffing player base speed too much may have some knock on effects they may not want
Like, yeah the state of difficulty/speed is probably what they intended at least somewhat, but they can tune these things to make the game more enjoyable
Reddit thinks that this was 100% their ~vision~ and it’s not gonna change at all
It’s at least is gonna change when their player retention drops off a cliff, if it comes to that

It kind of seems to me if you go barrier/evasion, Monk is pretty reliant on nodes for faster barrier recharge startup (at least ealy on)

It’s a gear and drop rate issue for melee , though some bosses are definitely going to run their pockets
frail panther
I heard some people mentioning not getting much gear, aye

So I think I will just keep running on sorceress forward and then use currency from that to gear my melee monk :p
gonna try making a new one, with more emphasis on cold
ember nimbus
As someone who until the mercenary exclusively played melee in POE 1 it FEELS better in 2 with animation cancels and such but most people just do to the structures of ARPGs often times just attempt to brute force a boss which is something that is deeply discouraged in 2 you have to look at it like a souls like style boss fight which is why I’ve had less of an issue due to my form-soft “experience” lol
This would be a terrible design decision if not for the fact that GGG has been PEAK at animation and dialogue call outs to bosses attacks and such ❤️
ashen lotus
I have to admit
The bosses have been my favourite part, but I really hate fighting common mooks and adds so far

Yeah I'm definitely trying to refine my mobbing/bossing setup
Even with the big fire stick I might go back to multichain arc for mobbing? Then maybe a cast on shock [something] for some more oomph, and then a single target fireball setup
fervent raptor
Although I was looking at all the spirit gems and I'm kinda surprised they don't suggest this for Sorc at all
The energy cost is "10 per 0.12s of base cast time" and Comet is a 1s cast skill, so you could full charge the 500 energy and then just drop 6 comets on something 
Popping the freeze is super easy for charging energy; Cast on Freeze will ruin your mana management
It'd also be super easy to like, full ramp Ember Fusillade

Chaos is only really the standard in PoE1 because of Kirac mods on the map device
Because basic crafting was terrible, and then divines (formerly ex) had value for metacrafting
With the massive overhaul to crafting and gearing generally it makes sense that the standard would become something more useful to that
