AAAAAAAAH THE SCREEN ISN'T SPITTING OUT LOOT I'M GOING INSANE
go back to poe1 loser
kek, delightfully devilish
ARPGs are inherently about optimisation. You kill shit, to get shit to kill more shit faster.
Why are poo1babbies so bad at the game?
Dopamine fiends who can't understand they want to make gameplay relevant in poe2.
I am more mad about the Lightning BS meta
muh meta
ngmi
Why do reddit and Anon Babble hate PoE2 so much? Mechanically speaking it's BY FAR the best ARPG to date and content wise it already has more to do than most competitors, despite being a 0.2 EA version.
They're just redditors basically. It's cool to hate poe2 now so they all follow the herd.
shitters that got filtered
If it wasn't for LS being so dominant the build diversity this patch would unironically be top tier. There are so many cool builds out there, but tangle + LS just dabs on them all.
Mechanically speaking
What mechanics?
Anon Babble defends Poe 2
Anon Babble absolutely hates it
contrarianism central indeed
Anon Babble wants gameplay
Anon Babble wants cookie clicker
checks out
Be Woodful Rogers
Thinkin' 'bout makin' some nice, comforting soup
Stomach starts rumblin' somethin' fierce
Uh oh stinky
Decide the porcelain throne is too mainstream
Lower myself into the cool, smooth embrace of the bathtub
Release the kraken
It echoes
Like a swamp symphony
Later, neighbor knocks, asks if I've seen his missing rubber ducky
Mfw I hear a faint "quack" from the drain
Anon Babble absolutely hates it
Anon Babble is spammed by 1 schizo who is some complete shitter who has never killed a single poe 1 pinnacle boss despite playing for 5+ years and claiming its his favorite game.
Glorified reddit campaign warrior.
I have a number of friends who are all Diablo players and barely ever touched POE1 (never made it through campaign) and ALL of them love POE2
I also love it and I've played thousands of hours in POE1, I'm just not a tradetranny
Time to buy another supporter pack bucko.
POO 2.
Another lead developer of PoE 1 quit today.
He's a softcore subhuman
love poe when it comes out
friend and I play quite a lot everytime a new league is announced.
ggg announce poe2 is in the works
he stops playing poe because "I'm waiting for poe2"
fucking years of this.
suddenly poe2 comes out
cunt doesn't even make it to maps in poe2 and gave up at the start of act 3
Because in the current state (0.1 included) it's not a very good game. Also they've siphoned work force from the superior game and essentially abandoned it. The current PoE1 league will be 11 months old when it will be retired in June. This company used to make banger leagues in 3 month cycles. Fuck GGG.
holy shit, that's fucking pathetic
Because in the current state (0.1 included) it's not a very good game.
Simply wrong.
Does this actually work to make everyones drops crappier? If so that is fucking EVIL
kill yourself, tradecuck.
Simply wrong.
Nah it's pretty shit man
It's legit boring as fuck
It's mostly the same poe1 schizos acting like crack addicts on withdrawal who throw a shitfit when the game doesn't give you a golden shower of currency like it did in Affliction league. Ironically they have no perspective on how long poe1 took to get to that state and probably never even played the game when it had the old endgame systems.
Yup. Unless you're actively farming for Kitava Smith chest bases or logbooks
Instead they have introduced a truly unique concept.
The first ARPG where you lose loot while playing it.
unpopular opinion
poe1 is in good state, just league is here for way too much and it's been ages since last xpac (we're stuck doing uber maven/exarch/eater)
poe2 is also good if you consider it's ea shit and all it needed was first 2 patches this version nerfing the slog with killing white mobs. Everything aftet his was to appease crying plebbitors who cannot understand that zoom is still here just you need to combo shit instead of spam rightclick
this being said, phrecia was ok, but new temp free leagues are bullshit dead, at this point give people offline mode
poop 2
D4 exists
Last Epoch exits
Classics like D2/D3/Grim Yawn/TQ exist
Even PoE
Why would I ever touch POE2?
third ring slot
Is it cock?
One of the major points of the genre is collecting new loot, you stupid fucking retard faggot. If you want to play roll slop with no loot go play a fromsoft game.
Because redditors think Diablo 2 was always a gacha game showering the screen with loot. Now they have Last Epoch for all their easy clear lootsplosion needs and lo and behold the player retention is the same as in PoE 2 anyway. Goes to show that game designers should never listen to reddit gaming dads who claim to be too busy to play games. That demographic doesn't want to play video games, they want a cookie clicker with a shiny congratulations screen.
*D3
even with blatant shilling, d4 is the worst shit you can recommend someone to play
I read a manga based around shit like this.
131.44% Reduced Rarity of Items found
Okay, that's pretty funny.
I haven't been playing much. How is Tactician?
bad
crossbows are good and you can stun gun mobs permanently in maps. the supporting fire skill from it does literally nothing.
Comfy with the Pin nodes. Ignore Supporting Fire, it's irredeemable in this patch.
What's your passive tree like and why have you got a quadrilla?
the big feature they highlighted from it (the big screenwide arrow rains) are totally broken and do negative damage
Holy fucking shit.
Mechanically speaking it's BY FAR the best ARPG to date
lmao
This game can't hold a candle to Grim Yawn.
I assume because there's a fixed rare quadrilla you can keep rolling for the mods you want
A quick look on Ninja says about 9% of all Tacticians are running a Quadrilla (Hunt tradecore).
And a little look around Google says...
Haste aura.
PoE2 is literally 80% Chinese bots your stupid asfuck. nobody plays poe2 anymore
Someone did this even better in PoE1 where they somehow created a character that caused all allies in the party to do zero damage, wish I could find the video
the rest of the thread is just people who have never touched either game getting mad at a strawman they've created of PoE1 players in their heads
the way the "git gud" contrarians harvest perceived social credit here is even worse than on reddit
well yeah of course, why would they make a game with ruthless as a base design philosophy when no one fucking plays ruthless
Neat. Levelling a tactician so far has felt alright with the pin nodes but getting + level gems for ballistas has been a pain.
Well, I know what to reroll into if what I am leveling ends up shit (Thunder spears).
I'm in no hurry and just chipping away at it when the mood strikes.
Looks like they've removed the Haste aura spawn from Normal/Cruel Quadrilla a week ago and you have to get it in Maps now instead.
Doesn't affect players who did it already, just fucks over newer players and alts
Lmao.
Lightning Spear is really meh until you get Volt support or twink it to yourself.
There's a bunch of funny meme builds in 0.2 that didn't exist last patch. Worth looking into to mess around with if you already built up some currency from LS.
That's fine. It's only until Act 3.
That's one thing I've found very odd, when they were originally emphasizing reworking Supports, they made it sound like you'd get build-impacting stuff like Fork and Armor Break in Act 1, but then in reality, those are all Act 3 or later so you get these middling slogs of Acts 1 and 2.
I don't. I also have no idea where I'd even find such builds.
Just be aware that your defense will mostly be coming from pinning mobs and you won't see shit on screen if you're using Artillery Ballista to map, like mapping with Skeletal Arsonists.
gives example of poe when everything was railroaded into mf and entire lategame was running t3 burials forever cos it was most profitable shit since there were no content requiring geared chracters and rewards in general didnt scale with gear
do poe2 sissies really?
That's what I figured, yeah.
That's part of why I've been eyeballing some ES spear setups that route through Monk/Shadow area for my Tact. Eternal Youth and a few thousand ES kind of deal.
all the spergs crying about poe2 only show that they never played poe1 before the massive levels of powercreep got added in with later expansions
current poe2 is beta poe1 but with more combos and a dodge
i gurgled so much cum i enjoy the taste now
poe2 players in a nutshell
One of GGG's biggest flaws is that they are desperate to not give players an easy leveling process. Anything and everything deemed "too good" gets removed or moved. It's the weirdest shit.
Why are you calling him a tradecuck? DId poe2 remove trade or something?
Generic bait reply to try and get a free (You) when he's too lazy to come up with a real reply.
You can look 2 replies above yours to see another such reply he made.
Poop of Excrement II
Well that's great. GGG are such massive cunts. If the world was a better place their studio would have died after archnemesis/ harvest fiascos.
wow these mobs are tanky
lmao
***DO NOT READ THIS RANT***
I swear people used every brain cell they had figuring out how to play poe1 so when poe2 came out and they had to relearn the game they shart themselves. I think about it like a music instrument, they just barely, BARELY, figured out how to play cello and now they have to learn how to play guitar and it's making them very upset. The problem is they never learned the most important lesson from the first game, learn to love the grind, learn to love the learning process.
I started with PoE1, but finished PoE2's EA campaign first. In a sense, PoE2 that got me even more into PoE. There's a bit of knowledge transfers over to the other game.
It also greatly helped that buying PoE2 in EA gets you mtx points to buy stash tabs which are interchangeable between both games. It was very smart of them to do that.
IMO it's just not fun.
The dodge-based gameplay is extremely repetitive, the endgame is abysmal, and there's no real room for creativity with builds.
It's like they took all the shitty systems from other games and combined them.
PoE1 was a fucking pile of garbage after they added shaper/elder items but at least you could have fun theorycrafting and the endgame was fleshed out.
Grim Dawn has fun building and okay gameplay, but the endgame is terrible.
Last Epoch is the most fun mechanically but builds are pretty simple and the end game was lame, but haven't tried the newest patch.
Diablo 3/4 is lmao, and Diablo 2 is just too played out.
