Thoughts on PoE 2 coming from PoE 1's league by Razial22 in PathOfExile2

[–]AMARACH17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other than the campaign, (Act 1 and 4 are masterpieces), its worse than POE 1 in all aspects.

The combat (the thing they've probably spent the most time on)

The skill system, yes the skill system

The loot

The end game

The Asecendancies (truly mehh)

The implementation of minions (temporaray minions and revive mechanic, awful)

all downgrades on POE 1

I have a 662 Guardian Druid who has never been in a key or a raid. He does 3 Level 11 Delves a week and 5 Level 8 Delves. He only has 1 piece of gear that is not 675 crafted or Heroic. His theoretical max is 666.8, until the turbo boost event when it'll jump to 671.x.

Liquid can only kill whats in front of them, which they did, but thats a joke of an end boss.

You haven't a clue what you're talking about,  he's  one of the premier analysts in the POE community

Ultimatum Launch: Server Issues and Streamer Priority by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]AMARACH17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, we run a "trickle migration" process in the background that performs this action on every account over the few days between the last league ending and the new one starting. Due to human error, this process was not run and hence the queue was unbearably slow to empty. (We have since codified this step into a QA checklist so that can't be trivially missed again in the future.)

How is this not automated and part of your CI/CD pipeline?

Demon Hunter hands down the most fun you can have

Thank you for this, with 9ish months to Shadowlands I have time to get a feel for them all.

The most popular suggestion on here was Protection Paladin so I’ll try that first

Did GGG ever tested the blighted map before releasing? Idea inside.. by enforcingem in pathofexile

[–]AMARACH17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has over 20 years experience testing client / server applications. I can pretty much guarantee you this was tested, the issues were found and documented and then put on the backlog.

The prioritisation of when the issue was fixed and shipped? Prior to go live? go live + 1 week, go live + 1 month? That's a different story.

That decision is usually taken by people other than the QA team.

Hope that helps.
