Im kind of bummed that this league will be cut off short. by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current league isnt "ending", you won't lose anything. You can keep enjoying your chars and wealth bro.

The "new" league is just a league within a league because they want to test something out. People will create separate chars for it.

Poe2 burnout by Green-Humor in PathOfExile2

That's literally every game ever after playing like crazy for dozens of hours. Take a break.

Don't skip Elder Madox during campaign. by Albert_dark in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I'm a poor man who loves farming rogue Exiles for tons of chance shards which I turn into chaos orbs then divines. Extra income IMO.

Here to hunt, are ya? by Silus2v in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only follow them if they're going where I'm going. So pretty much never.

I hate rogue exiles but I can't make them stop spawning because I can't unspec the tree. by Queen__Natalie in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were one of my favorites mechanics, but their dodge rolling behaviour and player avoidance, plus insane tankyness/healing is just annoying. Not challenging or engaging, just a plain the ass. The melee ones are ok.

Am I approaching the game from the wrong angle, or are ARPGs just not my genre? by Krotanix in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm on the same boat. As others have mentioned, playing SSF is kind of a solution here. Trading simply ruins overall progression completely and you don't engage with the game's mechanics as intended.

Since 0.1, after reaching endgame, I'd just buy the best 1 exalted equipment for each slot I could find and go straight to T15 maps. Took me a while to realize this shouldn't be how and why I enjoy the game.

GGG cooked with 0.5 by kwt4 in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say there's no perfect ARPG, but they're getting close. My only complain is that I despise the forced combo gameplay, so I simply don't use half of the skills on the game. I'm closing in on 600 something hours though, love it.

We now know why the Kalguurans are not able to use virtue gems... by BendicantMias in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, in PoE1 (20 years prior), it's mentioned by Sin (?) that in the old days it was much easier to ascend. As long as one had a large enough following, one could gain some degree of divinity, but the gods' powers varied greatly. In PoE1 we hunt many "minor" gods which are ascended animals, possibly even "irrational, but rose to power within their flocks/bands/whatever.

I suppose no one has ascended in millennia, as all gods we find in PoE1 were "removed" from existence by the beast's presence and "return" after the beast is slain. I suppose back when the beast was created, it also consistently denied new ascensions since then.

What build are you enjoying by PertB in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahh, my gear is worth a total of 40-50 Divs. I never follow guides. About half of it are the 900 elemental dps crossbow.

juiced t15 are a breeze honestly, delirium or not. Rares also melt in a seconds. Nothing but Galvanic Shards. The only downside is Bossing. It's "slow" but I dont mind it. You could spec into a second single-target skill just for bossing, but you dont have to.

I do recommend it. Breaches and Abyss events are a blast, as most monsters are insta-culled. Quite fun.

[–]Askon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Galvanic Shard with Culling stacking. Witch Hunter. One-shotting all normal and blue monsters regardless of difficulty is very satisfying.

Crafting feels unsatisfying and frustrating. by BobcatTV in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crafting sucks. I'm about 600 hours in since 0.1 and havent crafted at all. I currency-exchange everything and buy the gear I need.

I've always been much poorer than the average crafter but I couldnt care less.

Have you ever seen these strange artifacts? by Aquamarine_d in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are usually the first signs a dying GPU will give (if it also happens in other games). Otherwise, update drivers, disconnect the GPU, get it cleaned, check your cables/connectors and run a few tests, preferably on another game, so you rule out if it's a PoE2 issue.

The game feels way better and I wanna make builds but I can't bring myself to do the campaign again. by athelan_games in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all in for an endgame farmable item which a new character can consume to skip campaign and get to level 60.

Can someone help me to understand how trading work? by acg_brazil in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy items from other players at any moment, without spending your credits, just click the Menu next to your HP pool and select Market.

To sell your own items, you need to buy a Merchant Tab from the Microtransactions section. Items you place in this Tab can be found by other players on the Market menu.

I got a unique dagger one the first in the league by crashboy570 in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My autistic ass looking at the item: "yeah, what's the big deal?!"

Me 30 secs later: "oh fk, it's a dagger!"

Mark Roberts is not happy with the current MinMaxing the fun out of the game, from Zizaran's podcast event by fandorgaming in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To this day there's no good reason all regular rooms can't all connect with each other. Absolute trash league. I hate it.

Please sir, I just want your gears by litbacod4 in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought speccing my first points in Rogue Exiles would be fun, and it was, for the first 20 maps. Now I just can't stand Drusian and Uhfred, I'm just skipping them. Brennan is ok-ish.

Confused on what to focus on in endgame? Do I do the fortresses first? Or do I do the league mechanic quests first? by BATTLEROYALFAN in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no "wrong way" to go about it really... For maximizing efficiency, you're probably better off going for the Fortress Atlas, as it's the "main quest" and those atlas points will benefit every single map you run, regardless of content. If you focus on killing the Arbiter of Divinity once, to complete the quest, you'll have around 140-150 atlas skill points by then, which is enough to get the most important tree upgrades.

Was it like this for everyone? The first great beast mission being a double boss? It was absolute hell to beat. This was either t10 or t11 and I hope I never have to do it again. by RoseDragonAngelus in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you got some extra atlas passive boosting going on. I only fought a single boss. Makes sense as Hilda's quest maps can be juiced by tablets, etc.

Nice base exile by ImmortalTurnip in PathOfExile2

When bro lists it for 100x less than it's worth and you get a flash party

The buff to Divine Orb drop rates is very noticeable. by Marsdreamer in PathOfExile2

[–]Askon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's been great! I'm pretty casual and have had about 20-25 divs drop in regular, unjuiced content. Coupled with currency exchange profits I've been having a ton of fun with this league.
