Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[abija]

this league introduced gold

 

[luj1]

finally. but poe2 also gonna have less currency

 

[abija]

I'll just be glad if it takes 1+ year for PoE2 to turn into zoom zoom for currency. I'm hoping they are far behind intended schedule when they are forced to release because the more features they have in pipeline the longer it will take to start "pleasing the masses" and turn it into shit.

 

[ArchAngel]

So much obsession with currency and farming currency is mindless. I am glad PoE 2 is introducing gold.

Well obsession with currency comes from how hard it is to get good items in all your slots so you need to buy them but they are expensive. And you need good items with many builds to do endgame comfortably.
This is usually reason I quit before reaching high red maps as grinding required is more than I am willing to waste my time. Fun is no longer there.

I suspect it'll be longer than that. PoE1 will be treated as a containment game for zoom zoom shit and Jonathan really sees the current state of Path of Exile as a personal failing and takes great issue with it. PoE2 would have to fail miserably for them to revert back to PoE1 shenanigans when the whole point of developing the sequel was to get away from that.

I don't doubt their intentions just thinking they'll chose $$$ after a while as they did with PoE1.

 

[Tacgnol]

I don't doubt their intentions just thinking they'll chose $$$ after a while as they did with PoE1.

It might not even be a case of chasing $$$ but just a slow lurch towards power creep much like the first game. It's very hard to take power creep away when it has become accepted as people get used to it and then complain the game is ruined (hence PoE1 being continued despite the original intent to replace it.)

I guess it'll depend on Jonathan and how tight a grip he keeps on the design.

 

[abija]

It's not hard to take power creep away if you can accept losing players at least for a while. And they had plenty of opportunity during PoE 1, considering the state of the competition. Yet despite how many times CW said he wants to slow the game down, it never really happened. Which means they always chose to give players what they wanted.

 

[Hellion]

It's official, the latest Path of Exile season has literally killed Diablo.

 

[tritosine2k]

They'll find a way to lionize their capital letter Endgame contribution to gaming and it'll turn out it was a fluke all along.

 

[Gerrard]

It feels good to be back.

So when does it get good? After you spend real money for your stash? After you follow a perfect cookie cutter build on youtube? After hundreds of hours?

Never. Only worthwhile games are D1, D2, Sacred, TQ. Poe was dead on arrival.

If you didn't like the game after you finished the campaign and done 5-10 maps, you can safely forget about it.

 

[ADL]

Eh I would say you need to try the mechanics out first. League mechanics break up the monotony of mapping and by the time you get tired of one atlas passive skill tree you'll unlock another two.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Evil Vanquished
DD is Dead

also nerfed Wisped garbage
what you get for Wisped enemies in maps anyway?

 

[ArchAngel]

I didn't play for 1 week while I was at sea and when I come back Dust now gives way less of bonus when sending ships, they nerfed it like by 100x lol. I need to send thousands of dust now and it only gives a bit more overall bonus.

Dust didn't do anything except inflate your shipment value before.

Aren't rewards based on shipment value?
Now it seems it is still inflating shipment value but only for 1:1 ratio which makes it even more useless.

The only thing it possibly did was improving the quality of gear you get, but I don't know if anyone tested it. I got really good items (multiple T1 mods, perfect or almost perfect base defense roll) without ever sending more than 10K dust. It had no effect on the amount or type of currency or runes you get.

 

[ArchAngel]

In other news I managed to improve my Staff wielding Ice Crash Jugg into character being able to run tier 13 maps without dying a lot. I am now even able to murder yellows and bosses in reasonable time with my new flask setup (3 offensive unique flasks setup to activate when adjacent flask is used).

 

[Baron Dupek]

Just got one of the Heist bases - Manifold ring
also one question about Heist - why people run blueprints with only one wing?
Why not reveal more to get more chances to get big rewards like replicas or bases?

Congratz, now influence it with shaper or crusader and you are rich.
About that question, they are both poor on tokens wise and thinking.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Not tokens, but the need to run contracts for reveals.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Right, forgot that Gianna is late to introduce and takes time to level up

anyway - my first and last 50mln shipment. Can't go more than that. Took like a week of contant funding - with scarabs: 1x Titanic, 2x Gigantics and 2x Anarchy - gives 25-50k gold each map... and that's yellow maps cause red ones are rippy as hell, my AG got melted instantly in Malformation boss with 2 rogues while any Invitations does nothing to him. That strat also prints uniques, mostly sub-5k dust.

results - power rune (6div) and four mirror shards, 26divs each. Chose the closest Kaalgur port to avoid crew eating the whole food cargo.

found the Bitch Scream
even saw Pain Killer, but died too fast to grab on the screenshot
