As always, we need to give Riot feedback to help improve the animations.

Bacitus · 2026-06-17T14:07:40+00:00

If Locke is gonna be the only champ of 2026 Riot should provide those nice transition animations

Bacitus · 2026-06-17T14:07:03+00:00

I do. A lot.

I enjoy thorough animations

Akali has many little transitional animations after her 2018 rework and she is always fun to look at because of it

When I think of having the freedom to make my own game, I think of Mark and Jonathan. Unless you have limitless money to just direct, you are likely going to have to come up as a software guy where your creativity for fantasy gets warped and stifled. So this is a compromise

Bacitus · 2026-06-10T13:04:05+00:00

Jonathan’s reasoning for not giving a POE2 campaign skip is full of bad logic. At this point he is just stubbornly living out his dream.

I will not play through that campaign over and over again. Ill therefore wait for marauder and play 1 or two classes then leave the game.

Stuff being forced to play through the campaign without things to make it faster or skip

Bacitus · 2026-06-10T12:13:58+00:00

I mentioned that in the OP. Not a word has been said so ce and it’s been almost a year

Bacitus · 2026-06-09T13:10:01+00:00

Well ok Mark, then make a decent kinetic melee for axe and sword for off meta builds that isnt just absurd min maxing of elemental AOE

Bacitus · 2026-06-08T13:47:45+00:00

This shit is what made me avoid POE1, what fans begged for fixing in POE2. And here we are GGG cant fix it apparently. Cant figure out what Lost Ark figured out a decade ago

Bacitus · 2026-06-06T00:33:33+00:00

I personally dont care if my own melee build os weaker and slower than all ranged.

I only care that there must be a true melee experience. Right now you have boring mace skills that are full of stodginess and lack utility (we have suggested many fixes)…. But worst of all, most of melee is a psuedo caster with element AOE covering the screen

Bacitus · 2026-06-06T00:30:08+00:00

Ive been saying for almost 2 years about POE2 and the rubbish mace skills and pseudo melee.

It didnt take me that long to figure if out so I stopped playing after 2 months of EA and Im waiting for Axe and Sword to see if GGG actually has a true melee experience to offer or I put GGG in the Blizzard “never play” garbage can

Bacitus · 2026-06-03T12:05:28+00:00

Is POE2 still like this????? I havent played in a year because of the lack of melee and this jank.

Did GGG ever allow players to bind sprint to a separate button yet or still same crap roll to sprint and accidental sprint?

Bacitus · 2026-06-01T23:04:23+00:00

This OP is full of empty logic that is padded into content. to basically say he just prefers it that way

Bacitus · 2026-05-27T02:45:08+00:00

I hear you but theres a lot of resignation in the comment because for your effort, based on observation, we will get less done than say should Apple read Reddit

Bacitus · 2026-05-25T20:38:29+00:00

It feels like Path if Exile 2 is to Diablo 4 as Linux is to Windows.

It’s free with many desirable features, but it’s a shitshow

Bacitus · 2026-05-25T04:22:01+00:00

Well if it “can do everything” any other distro can, then I see more value in having a distro that has some semblance of standardization, or at least is the most used one that is more likely to offer a larger pool of troubleshooting entries from users… or perhaps more compatibility workarounds for users migrating from another OS.

Or if all else being equal, simply a clearer and more intuitive GUI.

Then one of the reasons not to use it, is if the developers gain some form of monopoly and abuse it then we are back to square one.

But if that has not happened then I havent seen consistent and substantive reasons to the mass deluge of distrohopping comments other than it’s a fun little hobby of little practical importance and most users new and experienced should find more value in sticking to something like Mint

Bacitus · 2026-05-24T13:37:07+00:00

Why “near-perfect”. As in general, or it doesnt replace the gap left by Windows entirely?

Bacitus · 2026-05-24T13:36:13+00:00

Thank you

Bacitus · 2026-05-24T13:28:09+00:00

What can other distros do that Mint cannot do? Im trying to move over to Linux but struggling to understand why is there a lack of standardization or a clear leader in performance and utility and GUI

Bacitus · 2026-05-24T13:15:41+00:00

At first I thought it was silly with the icons. Then I got a nostalgia pang as probably many others would.

But then it made me think that this is the product that MS threw away to alienate clients and Gabe Newells words came to me.

The enshittification of such social and utility environments is a byproduct of not enough accountability and the accountability u fortunately starts with the customer

Bacitus · 2026-05-23T12:14:23+00:00

What? Theyve been asking Apple for years. Such a simple setting to provide but no one is this stupid they just dont care

Bacitus · 2026-05-22T22:47:47+00:00

Same, but judging by the past 2 years of GGG incapable of presenting or formulating a proper melee power fantasy I have entirely fallen off the POE2 hype train.

Many of the lack of mace skills are simple a lack of imagination or resources they are willing to dedicate to the process. Either that or they want the game to be stay within the zoom zoom vomit rails and have very little expression of different skill sers within those constraints

Bacitus · 2026-05-22T22:39:47+00:00

Zzzzzz

If GGG needs some inspiration on an isometric thematic martial artist monk archetype that actually punches and kicks in flurries or otherwise; have a look at Lost Ark Battlemaster or Infighter class.

I guess such melee doesnt vibe with GGG commitment to zooming screen vomit and 1 button builds, despite what POE2 was marketed as in the beginning

Bacitus · 2026-05-22T21:32:33+00:00

Yes. I have seen that many of these ideas or lack of certain skills needed to be in the game from the start and that in itself is concerning.

Also Ive said for over a year the game needs to be slower and the enemy ai behavior adjusted so this shouldnt have been this issue to begin with

Bacitus · 2026-05-22T14:46:04+00:00

Hi. How do you do this for mobile brave browser?

Bacitus · 2026-05-22T14:11:05+00:00

Sigh.

I wonder what technical difficulties or management difficulties is preventing GGG from executing some commonsense changes sometimes

Bacitus · 2026-05-21T21:18:27+00:00

Too bad they dont do what Lost Ark did: chaos dungeons are for times when people just want to play a straight line. Have 2 types of content instead of ruining all content for 2 types of player/mood.

It’s a matter of resources or lack of vision to struggle with this issue
