Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Jason Liang]

AHHH Console League launch is a week behind PC!!!!

I've been wondering why I'm still in Crucible League!

Saw it now that's an autobomber no proof it's good for mapping. They already do this with golems. Looks like a way to skip primordial jewels. Not sure how well it scales if the initial cost is low.

Meanwhile Ramako got buffed so it's now -20% instead of 0. Making it potentially ok to take but probably not because being stationary sucks ass.

Nice, minion master is doing Guardian Skele Mages as his starter build.. now I can just copy him exactly :D

 

[Jaedar]

Played for a very little bit, did first trial. This has to be the worst intro to a league mechanic ever. They just dump you right in and you you an info popup that's the height of the entire screen. I ended up losing, because I didn't read it and apparently I couldn't damage the enemy totems?

I was completely uninterested in this league but now I’m gerning FOMO

Shit league:

That beastman outfit is gonna look great on my druid/huntress in PoE2. Even the T1 variant is great looking.

 

[Baron Dupek]

is this real life?

Someone posted a screenshot in Ben's stream of a GGG employee saying they think you need 7 allocated nodes connected to that one.

Shit league:

those who want new models for portals, new pets and don't want to look like a hobo anymore?

I do, gives me objectives to do in a game where you have endless progression.

I thought the only reason people used those things was to annoy other players in town by looking as garish as possible while covering as much of the screen as possible.

Half-way through act 2 and the performance is absolute garbage, I'm not sure if it's just me but the game is stuttering and the loading screens are at least 30 seconds sometimes (NVMe SSD), see you all next league.

 

[tritosine2k]

same plus lag also it's tiresome slept so well instead

_Carn ripped to exarch on hcssf "what is this shit" tend to agree, hope that phased boss designer guy and path of souls pushers find themselves in a dark alley sometime

I do not have big performance problems during playtime but I did notice long load times into towns. But I got an old PC, I am used to game not running at 60 fps all the time :D

The game is running at 60 - 90 fps just not 144 and above which is what I'm used to.

I know I know first world problems and all but I can't play anything under 120 fps, even worse when the FPS is not consistent.

Did you try playing around with Vulkan/DX11? Change other graphic options?

They did changes to video stuff in patches before this league, I know some people complained how it runs. Then they said they are going to fix it for release, I guess they didn't fix it enough.

I tried all the options but to no avail, though I did notice DX11 made the FPS slightly better so if anyone else is having the issue maybe try that.

check poe reddit, I noticed topics talking about this in last two weeks

Frames got so bad before they changed atlas those mtx had me speedrun sirus day 2-3 to get out of oriath as soon as possible.

 

[ArchAngel]

Leveling with Guardian is interesting. As soon as you get Sentinel of Radiance (that was buffed just before release lol, now has more life and soaks 20% of incoming damage) his RF ability murders everything except bosses. You just run around and teleport him with convocation and just cast other stuff vs rares or in boss battles.

I have the same 144 fps I had (framecapped) before this (and before the infamous 'poe2 particle system' patch that ruined game for many a player), but I'm a weirdo that uses DX12 instead of the other two options (smoothest experience for me for some reason, but I have very beefy CPU (7950x3d) so may be CPU hiccups are less noticeable with DX12 provided your system is high-end enough)

 

[tritosine2k]

(and before the infamous 'poe2 particle system' patch

more like console patch for "gpu driven rendering" so cpu will count less down the line

it was the reason i reinstalled really and saw enough so...

DX12 doesn't even work for me at all, I just get a black screen after starting the game.

 

[Reever]

Yeah, they fucked up the performance for me, too. I've also seen Ben having problems with Sirus' Maze where it kept flickering.
Either way, the mechanic just seems very boring to me so I'll probably skip this league.
