Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[abija]

list 5 people here that said is too hard, with quotes

 

[Jermu]

Just finished act 2, great boss took 4 tries. still solo blind and very clueless about everything. took me 15 hours until I learned to turn "show recommended" stuff off, no wonder choices seemed limiting.
spark build is pretty much what it was on poe1 beta, very easy to find good passive skills close to each other

for now think I skip hardcore

How are my Rangers dealing with AoE early on? Multi projectile Lighting Arrow? Poison arrows?

The single target is pretty legit since Fire Wall adds flat damage to projectiles passing through so there's that combo

"ok gates place sounds cool"
"actually, gates are closed go to the other one"

They were feeding this slowly but surely. Act2 rework seemed innocent, Act1 was getting obvious with Brutus health bar and giving him leg work out. Then settlers gold where the penny dropped. (Eg. trolling)

Leaving Act3 alone was the best outcome because apparently they can't iterate on that even if they wanted. It's a bridge too far.

They should pop moles in COD or whatever. Not gamers.

So far I've mostly been using scattershot + fast forward stormcaller arrow with sprinklings of execute + magnified effect freezing salvo.

I had been messing with poison stuff but respeced out of it into elemental instead. Lightning arrow didn't feel as satisfying as stormcaller arrow which tends to make everything shocked and/or dead.

I also have been using poisonburst arrow with corrosion and comorbidity for armour stripping. Haven't messed with delving into other "class" type gems yet, since I've mostly been trying to get sorted on how things fit together within one role type.

I think you're right that adding firewall from the sorc is almost a no brainer though, depending on what you're going for. Right now I'm not sure I'd have the spots since I was going towards using mark + snipe to generate frenzy charges and then using barrage to eat them. I haven't tried it yet since I just got the stuff to pull that together, but that's the plan right now. I don't love snipe rooting you though so I may lean away from that which would give me a definite spot or two for fire wall.

EDIT: I guess before stormcaller arrow, I was using either poison stuff with vine shot and poisonburst arrow, later that plague burst shot thing or lightning arrow + lightning rod(s). Generally chaining lightning arrow and multiprojectile lightning rod I think. I was experimenting, mostly.

How do you see that? -- nm I figured it out.

I'm at 26 deaths in Act 2...

Spoiler

Starting the three sites to rebuild the horn, but I'm overlevelled for those areas because before I opened the gates, I completed the trial to open up the ascension class and most of my deaths are from that. When I came back to do the open the gates thing, it was super easy.

wow I just logged in and noticed there's boob giggle on character select man, obvious GOTY

i'm about to ascend

I make killzones with that lightning skill that plants a lightning rod in the ground, you can spam multiple in the same area then I just use Lightning Arrow or whatever to chain them.
That poison arrow that slows enemies helps with that too. Other than that I use the freezing arrow dodge.

Yes I wish I was better with names.

that Chicken Masala is kinda hot

i keep asking for mild but they always give me spicy

I thought that there are 6 different acts, but you need to repeat 3 acts again cringe

I think they said full release will be 6 acts, but EA started with the first 3.

There will be in the release version, they are holding them back at the start of early access in favor of endgame to try to calm the spergs.

 

[mediocrepoet]

to try to calm the spergs.

Seems like that's going swimmingly.

I didn't know they had gaming hardware in the nursing home. I hope the staff are treating him well.

I didn't feel like paying for early access because game would most likely run like shit on my ancient pc. But, despite all the retarded decisions from GGG in recent years, I was curious about PoE2 so I decided to watch some gameplay on Youtube. I randomly picked a 10 hour video from some asshole named Assmongoloid or something and at 20 minute mark I started weeping for humanity for I have never seen such a disingenuous piece of aids ridden cum sprinkled faggot shit before. Is this really what gaming has come to? Instead of making an enjoyable arpg, you develop some tedious ass brown shit and just pay some spastic childhood abuse survivors to act like it is the second coming on live stream. Fuck.

Asmongold favorite games are Elden Ring and Dark Souls X and he played worst class in the game currently (Warrior). I think he might have switched to another character later.

 

[Peachcurl]

"worst class"

what

 

[abija]

plays like shit, no idea of performance vs other classes, game isn't hard with it

 

[Israfael]

"worst class"

Can't really say about the other classes (didn't try and probably won't), but warrior has decent survivability (the only thing that one shotted me was the gorilla slam and some sort of fireball machine gun by the priest boss in the temple right before going to Vaal era (LE sends its regards, lol)), okay-ish clear (but maybe the boneshatter aoe procs won't be this powerful in maps or the "acts" 4-6) and abysmal ST dps (now it's a bit better thanks to several exalts that dropped for me yesterday and lucky roll for phys damage, but still it takes ages to whack away bosses / tough rares with auto attacks). Maybe it gets better later when the higher level skills unlock (very un POE in my opinion, reeks of D3 by mile away), but currently there is nothing better than spamming white attack instead of trying to do "combos" like they want us to do.

Peak UI design, didn't even notice this. Now you can't simply press alt, check tiers of the affixes and vendor / stash away an item, you have to move mouse a lot
