Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

Looks like they're gonna fix it

Aug 21, 2023 12:20 AM (GMT+3) - We're investigating some assets such as ground tiles taking a prolonged time to load in for some players.

I got to maps over the weekend but since yesterday I have decided to go back to JA2 1.13 until they try to fix performance issues and put out usual post release patches for the league mechanics.
Also prices for items I need will drop if I wait for a while after the initial rush has passed and supply becomes much bigger than demand.
Maybe I even switch to playing it on Xbox if the performance fix comes to Xbox at similar times. Also PoE on M&K is really bad for my neck, it all started hurting again over just two days of playing.
I am too old and hurt now for fast games on M&K.

 

[Gerrard]

Yeah I'm sure it's the ground tiles that make entering town take 30+ seconds when it used to be 3.

Holy click...

 

[ItsChon]

Can anyone give me a suggestion for a relatively beginner friendly league starter that has good single target damage? I wanted to farm Essences & Harvest for my endgame route, so I want to be able to actually kill the Essence Boss at a decent speed.

I'm playing Eternal Youth/ Dissolution of the Flesh Ascendant. Supposedly both Blood Sacrament and Reap completely melt bosses in bossing.

I hear good things about Enki's builds, the latest of which is https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3410006.

I'm very disappointed that resolve mitigation in sanctum completely ignores your resists. Sitting here at 85% in all and not getting any benefit.

RF is fun, the chieftain explode makes it smooooth. I've got a bunch of skill sockets left open that I don't know what to do with however. This is not a problem I usually have. I'm still in very low tier maps though, and my gear is mostly horrendous. I had the good fortune to find a 5L during campaign, but like half of my slots have been the same since act2. Will be interesting to see how the build scales. Managed to get the helmet from ritual with "your hits with socketed skills cause exposure" which seems like a good pickup for dps. Not having shock/freeze immunity sucks a bit though, but not sure how I can fit it in without wrecking my dps.

What performance issues? Just turn off sounds entirely as usual.
Or use soft that limits your CPU... or do it yourself via BIOS.

 

[janior]

hope poe2 is not just teleporting around pressing your aoe skill of choice, well who am i kiddin, game is dead

It's amazing

I just knew they'd fuck this up somehow. Guess Sanctum still isn't on the menu when I return.

 

[Tacgnol]

Also, Ralakesh's Impatience are worth like 4 divine now. Saw a pair in a ritual altar, but I didn't have enough tribute to defer, unfortunately.

When did that happen? I remember them being a cheapo 1c unique.

 

[Baron Dupek]

For early bossing start with Sabo using fire mines (Pyroclast+Astral Projectile ring)/traps and kongmings shield for damage against blinded enemies

This looks perfect. Thanks you beautiful bastard.

Have to fight the maven for that since I'm ssf. It ain't gonna happen, at least not anytime soon. I could take the fire mastery explode, but the damage from that explosion seems really low.

I also remember every floor used to be, kill boss get out, now some floors are just find the exit, some are kill every boss/rare (usually there's around 6 that need to be killed). Also this shit is still very annoying. Ran into a trap fight room where the traps shot laser beams that track you (hf if you don't have a teleport skill), forcing you to relocate a lot and of course the enemies have no problem attacking you from offscreen and it's not like you can dodge if you can't see. So yeah, I'm not exactly excited to play more.

high density economy tips video for Trade League specifically:



Least fun I had in any League to date so far. This could very well just be on me, because of my starter choice and/or IRL stress. OR the League actually isn't that good. I don't remember ever complaining about Heist when it initially launched. At least there you were getting some good rewards. In Ancestor I'm either getting ass raped and have to wait until I fully lose a match and then the tourney OR I'm winning, but it takes minutes and the reward is 3 Jews or 6 Chance Orbs or some such. Hopefully this hotfix will make things more fun and also a different build maybe (currently leveling Ice Spear Totems Hiero).

Agreed that the match rewards are frequently terrible (unless you get build relevant tatoos, but it's quite rare). Although you seem to frequently get a unique in the final match, and the tatoos from winning a full tournament are good.

The enemy hp scales insanely fast and high. Shits have many times the hp of map bosses, and theres several of them, and you have to kill them multiple times to get their respawn timers up to anything high enough to give you time to attack.

I still think it's more fun than sanctum, or crucible, and so on. At least they're trying something new even if the balance is out of whack.

When did that happen? I remember them being a cheapo 1c unique.

After the big Uniques Rework that also made Uniques much more rare. Any build that stacks charges would want these, except Discharge builds.

The changes to Sanctum made me pretty mad. The ability to fish for a favourable start = gone. Inspiration = gone. Offscreening = gone. It was one of the most well received Leagues in recent memory and they just HAD to make so many drastic changes to it which nobody asked for. Maybe it'll be good once I roll my SRS Grandpa COPIUM.

 

[Kjaska]

I doubt this strat survives for long, but maybe one of you can have some fun with it over the weekend:

 

[Tacgnol]

Also hoping the league mechanic receives further tweaking. I've done it a few times, but it's just a pain in the ass to play right now.

Every league the last 10 leagues :D
