I don't even have the strength to care about these patch notes anymore

I lost all interest for this game

 

[AwesomeButton]

The mod manager and "Various CPU performance improvements" are the only important things I can see.

 

[Parabalus]

Ciphers got buffed across the board, pretty cool.

The Player Stash now has a search feature.

Or you had fun without a fast way to find item by it's name instead of scrolling entire category?

 

[Safav Hamon]

2H Melee Weapons have each received +1 additional Penetration

This was needed

 

[Bocian]

General quest design -

How it feels when people still play this after almost 2 months.

 

[Yosharian]

Ciphers got buffed across the board, pretty cool.

Their best spells got nerfed...

 

[2house2fly]

They put in a stash search before the ability to sort by item type?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!?!

 

[Lacrymas]

Are they finished with redesigning the encounters? That's lame.

I never hoard too many items in my stash. I'm not some kind of ~autist~

You do know that people play games years after release?!

 

[Bocian]

You do know that people play games years after release?!

People play good games years after release.

True,people still play more good games years after release than deadfire months after release.

I put around twenty some odd hours into this game, in the one city. I was stuck until a recent patch at any time I travel it randomly crash. I tried to get back into this weekend, and just really can't find my footing.

It's so dialogue-heavy(and often just poor writing), it's just everyone has 5 mins worth of talking and it's just endless shit. I spent forever in the first city just listening to people.

Anyways I have started to play Might and Magic 2 and Wizardry 1. Less new age bullshits the better for me this week.

When one plays Vampire Bloodlines and sees the amount of effort and quality that went there into every voiced conversation, shit like PoE 2 is even worse when you need to listen through its VO

 

[Lacrymas]

I don't blame the actors for the VO, I blame the script not giving them anything to work with. Fantastic VO with a fantastic script is the best alternative, but that's rare, so it's better for them to be silent.

Great, nowadays gathering loot from mobs and treasure chests counting as autism. Adjusting stats in way that you can kill someone - power gaming, gathering loot - autism, what next? Enemies should drop nothing just because having loot in player's inventory count as mental disorder? You don't need to call people who like collect items as disabled, just because you didn't had any loot in your stash. People seriously should stop labeling someone for playing in different way than fits their agenda.

 

[Rinslin Merwind]

Also pirate who don't hoard treasures exist only in books for kids.

Spoiler

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I don't see much of a point to any of these balance changes as long as health/injury system continues to do nothing at all.

An important thing to also note here is that almost all of the dialogue wasn't originally meant to be voiced, and, as MCA himself pointed out on numerous occasions - dialogue that's meant to be read is crafted differently than dialogue that's meant to be voiced.

Most of PoE2's dialogues would be mediocre to bad even unvoiced, but it's something that must be taken into account.

You're not in the context bro, I'm the one criticizing others for misusing the term "autist". That was irony.

Don't be such a postenago.

Oh ok, sorry I didn't get this at first. Never mind then.

That's BS. Dialogue should be written so that you can picture it in real life. Great literary writers, not Chris Avellone, have said this.

 

[Lacrymas]

Yes, I can just picture Boris Vian or William S. Burroughs' dialogues in real life.
