Incline Path of Exile 2 - now available on Early Access

[ArchAngel]

New Path notes. Lots of changes, but they haven´t addressed the map size problem, which is the main issue of the game IMO. At least we can now teleport between checkpoints.

0.1.0e Patch Notes​

GGG

General Improvements and Changes

• Added the capacity to fast-travel between Checkpoints within an area. You can now select checkpoints which will bring up your Map Overlay allowing you to select other Checkpoints you have discovered in the area to travel to them immediately. Many more checkpoints have been added to areas generally at all the entrances and exits to areas, meaning if you find those first, you are able to instantly travel to them if you choose to go back and explore an area.
• Passive Point Respeccing has been made cheaper especially at higher levels, it had a relatively aggressive curve getting more expensive with character level, we have flattened that curve so it doesn't exponentially grow as much. For Example, this should generally result in an approximately 40-50% less Gold Cost for respeccing between the start and middle of Endgame progression.
• Added a shortcut to open a skills advanced information display by right-clicking the skill on your Skill Bar.
• You can now compare equipped Flasks when using a Gamepad.
• Added Chance Shards to the Currency Exchange.
• Added a button to travel to your Guild Hideout when interacting with the Waypoint.

• Lowered the baseline monster density of Breach Encounters, primarily by reducing the frequency of the "Elite" monsters appearing.
• Fixed an inconsistency in the different types of packs that could spawn during Breach Encounters, you should now see more different types of Monsters appearing on an area to area basis.
• The volatiles spawned by the Volatile Fiends Trial of Chaos Modifier now accelerate over time.
• The Stormcaller Runes Trial of Chaos Modifier are now smaller, take longer to charge up when standing inside and give more time to escape once triggered. The Runes now also get larger as the Modifier is upgraded.
• Improved the hitboxes on a number of abilities used by Blackjaw, the Remnant.
• The Crossbow variants of the Decrepit Mercenary monsters that dealt Fire damage now deal less damage.

Trial of the Sekhamas Improvements

• Honour Damage now scales down based on distance to enemies, you now take up to 35% less Honour Damage when in close range, tapering as you are further away from Monsters.
• Fixed a bug where Damage over Time was dealing three-times as much damage to Honour as intended in the Trial of the Sekhemas, and fixed a bug where Honour Resistance was only applying to two-thirds of that damage taken. (This got confusing for us too).
• Skitter Golems no longer use basic attacks and instead now just explode as their attacks were largely unavoidable when in Melee Range.

• The Hunter's Talisman passive skill Notable now grants +1 Charm Slot. The small passive skills leading up to it now grant the stat it formerly gave.

Map size problem takes more time to implement. I would expect changes to this (if they want to change it) to come by end of January after they are back from their holidays.

I've never really had a problem with the map size, I like it large. I wish they added more points of interest, like more of those totem events that you click and things spawn and you do a mini trial, or random merchant appears etc... (like those masters in poe1).

Guys, you DON'T have to clear/ink the entire map, and if you're mapping, a bigger map makes it more worth no?

I would not mind a big map it was not as empty with nothing but c/p battles.

finished a3 normal. wow. that jungle was a drag and gave me d2 ptsd.

Killed magma forgemaster with chaos dot before the changes that will supposedly boost my dps. Ive killed the dude on 1st try while standing in magma. Couldnt move but could pick up my items... Respecced before that fight. Grabbed every single chaos node near witch area, now i run with just a single skelly and doggo. Still was able to grab ES nodes and had 2.5k during the fight.

Hexblast is funny, I use it only on blue packs

After conquering Diablo IV, Musk had been showing off his gamer skills in Path of Exile 2 until he shared a post on X showing he was disconnected from the game after being accused of cheating.

In the post, Musk shared a screenshot of a message alerting him that he had been disconnected. "You have been kicked for performing too many actions too fast," the message said. (Also read: Indian-origin CEO thinks he should ‘get a green card’, Elon Musk reacts)

Musk, however, denied using any software to make the game easier and said that he was just performing a 'high amount of actions per minute'. "Wasn’t even using a macro lol,” he joked, to which a user replied: "They give us like 10+ active skills and don’t expect us to hit the buttons?!"

33% buff to ED damage will not be enough compared to what other builds are doing. 100% boost would be enough but they should have made it so its damage goes up by 20% every 1s of duration on target with 100% being max. Then you are incetivized to stack duration while at start it does not murder your targets before you can cast new worse Contagion.

This exists in PoE1 too.

But with 1 button builds this is not a issue anymore.

Glad is back.

In my first playthrough of PoE2 I "discovered" muscles in my forearm that I didn't know existed.

Where the fuck is that in normal builds.
Maybe you didn't manage to come up with one?
Oh the Convenience of straw man "arguments" ITT.

Yea, we will see how Breaches work with spell that does not slow, stun or freeze enemies but also needs 5s to kill them :D
I hope you got a lot of HP and max block and evasion to survive until they finally fall over
What I do in end of Act 6 atm is use Bone Cage to survive melee enemies until they finally fall over. Contagion with Hinder support also helps but not vs fast enemies, by the time you cast it they are already next to you and you have no guarantee that game choose correct targets.. Bone Cage works a bit better for that.
Vs ranged dudes it is dodge projectiles until they finally fall over from ED slow damage.

From what I read only good build for ED is max mana and go MoM and there is a node that gives 3% increased spell damage for each 100 man mana. I guess you are supposed to take the Infernalist node that sacrifices 25% life for more mana. It seems you can get more increased damage that way than taking all the chaos damage nodes on tree. But that sounds like build for rich people or those with lucky drops as you need to high mana rolls on all equipment for it to work.

 

[Jermu]

now when I have finally played blind for couple weeks I finally checked all uniques and 99% of em are free shit or cost 100 divine orbs, think unique item balance is in a bad spot

for example this ring costs 100 divine / 3k~ ex orbs

I'm at 3.5k mana and 2k life without this ring so that would probably boost mana to 6k~ which is nice amount of "life"

also tradesite has been fucked for couple days hard to buy/sell itesm

Map size problem takes more time to implement. I would expect changes to this (if they want to change it) to come by end of January after they are back from their holidays.

there is literally zero issues with having big maps lmao, especially when you can teleport between waypoints.

 

[ArchAngel]

New Path notes. Lots of changes, but they haven´t addressed the map size problem, which is the main issue of the game IMO. At least we can now teleport between checkpoints.

0.1.0e Patch Notes​

GGG

General Improvements and Changes

• Added the capacity to fast-travel between Checkpoints within an area. You can now select checkpoints which will bring up your Map Overlay allowing you to select other Checkpoints you have discovered in the area to travel to them immediately. Many more checkpoints have been added to areas generally at all the entrances and exits to areas, meaning if you find those first, you are able to instantly travel to them if you choose to go back and explore an area.
• Passive Point Respeccing has been made cheaper especially at higher levels, it had a relatively aggressive curve getting more expensive with character level, we have flattened that curve so it doesn't exponentially grow as much. For Example, this should generally result in an approximately 40-50% less Gold Cost for respeccing between the start and middle of Endgame progression.
• Added a shortcut to open a skills advanced information display by right-clicking the skill on your Skill Bar.
• You can now compare equipped Flasks when using a Gamepad.
• Added Chance Shards to the Currency Exchange.
• Added a button to travel to your Guild Hideout when interacting with the Waypoint.

Endgame and Monster Balance

• The Waystone Modifier that adds Burning Ground to your Maps no longer increases in coverage or area with higher Tier Waystones.
• The 'Siphons Flask Charges Modifier' on Monsters now drains ten-times less Flask Charges per second. (This was unintentional).
• Disabled the Volatile Crystals Modifier, to be revised in the future pending telegraphing improvements.
• The Trail of Fire monster Modifier now deals 30% less Damage and lasts for 3 seconds (from 5 seconds).
• The Trail of Lightning monster Modifier now lasts for 4 seconds (from 8 seconds).
• The Trail of Ice monster Modifier now lasts for 4 seconds (from 8 seconds).
• The Purple Explosives created by the Volatile Plants Modifier on Rare Monsters now deal significantly less Damage.
• Packs of Prowling Chimeral's in Maps now contain less of the Prowling Chimerals and spawn alongside some Zombies.
• Lowered the baseline monster density of Breach Encounters, primarily by reducing the frequency of the "Elite" monsters appearing.
• Fixed an inconsistency in the different types of packs that could spawn during Breach Encounters, you should now see more different types of Monsters appearing on an area to area basis.
• The volatiles spawned by the Volatile Fiends Trial of Chaos Modifier now accelerate over time.
• The Stormcaller Runes Trial of Chaos Modifier are now smaller, take longer to charge up when standing inside and give more time to escape once triggered. The Runes now also get larger as the Modifier is upgraded.
• Improved the hitboxes on a number of abilities used by Blackjaw, the Remnant.
• The Crossbow variants of the Decrepit Mercenary monsters that dealt Fire damage now deal less damage.

Trial of the Sekhamas Improvements

• Honour Damage now scales down based on distance to enemies, you now take up to 35% less Honour Damage when in close range, tapering as you are further away from Monsters.
• Fixed a bug where Damage over Time was dealing three-times as much damage to Honour as intended in the Trial of the Sekhemas, and fixed a bug where Honour Resistance was only applying to two-thirds of that damage taken. (This got confusing for us too).
• Skitter Golems no longer use basic attacks and instead now just explode as their attacks were largely unavoidable when in Melee Range.
• Serpent Clan burrow and ambush attacks now have improved visual telegraphing and cannot be used from as far away.
• Volcanoes created by Rattlecage's Fissure Slam now last half the duration.

Well teleportation only works on waypoints you unlocked and it was only added 12h ago and as it was pointed to me, it does not work on maps.

 

[ArchAngel]

now when I have finally played blind for couple weeks I finally checked all uniques and 99% of em are free shit or cost 100 divine orbs, think unique item balance is in a bad spot

for example this ring costs 100 divine / 3k~ ex orbs

View attachment 58829
I'm at 3.5k mana and 2k life without this ring so that would probably boost mana to 6k~ which is nice amount of "life"

View attachment 58830


also tradesite has been fucked for couple days hard to buy/sell itesm

3500 *1.2 = 4200 mana and that is generous way to calculate, more likely it is not a multiplier to existing mana but addition to whatever you other sources of maximum mana you have.
How did you get to 6000 mana?

And how hard is to get to 3500 mana? Do you need to have high mana rolls on all your gear? on the tree 90% of mana nodes are mana regen (5% are max mana and 5% are mana recoup), is it even worth taking all those?

 

[Jermu]

yeah there are not many max mana ones these are the ones that were close + filter found

I have mainly ignored mana regen nodes seems pointless when you can buy jewels like this:

so each kill is 70 mana with just 1 jewel which is enough sustainability for mapping, for bossing I could see it being more useful


also Im using max mana cores these are the 2 best items I have (just found out about these a while ago so need to find new gear so I can get more of em)

mana is quite low on focus but 2 skill fcr focuses are expensive

but yeah gearing wise mainly focusing on flat mana and capping res while still having 2k life if something gets fucked. using 0 uniques since all of em are shit except ring and that belt that boost ring bonuses



oh yeah today I also found out that only? way to get tier 16 maps is to corrupt em where u can find 20 level skill gems and shit, wish I knew that before

Rolling Slam's Second Slam now deals 50% more Damage to Heavy Stunned Enemies

That's not really much of an improvement. The skill still stays useless in comparison even to basic mace strike.

I guess they want you to still use default for attacking non stunned enemies.

Maybe, and there's in principle nothing wrong with that. But the first part of rolling slam has increased stun buildup, which isn't any use currently.

 

[cretin]

Is this as good as it looks? I didn't really like PoE1 because it was just my buddy pressing 1 over and and over again while he cleared the map like a gay tornado. But this looks like theres more active player skill involved in the action?

 

[lukaszek]

you can boost mana pool with EB now

 

[deama]

There's more involvement than poe1, but not as much as an actual dark souls game if that's what you're wondering.

 

[mediocrepoet]

I've been enjoying it and I hated PoE1 largely for the reasons you described (though it sounds like I bounced off it far earlier than you did). Worth a punt, imo.
