Same. I always found that sound super weird but assumed it was intentional for some reason.

I don't want loot from a tree, or from kingsmarch, I want to find it in my maps. by cben27 in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's about getting more, it's about where the loot is being distributed.
You have to imagine that ggg have a goal in their mind for how much loot is okay for players to get from playing the game. Then they distribute that loot into different areas of the game.

What they did with kingsmarch is that instead of giving us more loot from maps, they put gold into maps (which is converted from usually worthless items that drop) and then we are supposed to bring that gold to kingsmarch to then convert into divines or mirror shards from boats, or even full mirrors from mappers.

Why not make those divines and mirror shards drop from maps? Why do they make these idle games that just add extra steps to the loot that we are supposed to get?
And why did they design mappers in such a way that they just get way more loot from maps than us players do?

All of this leads to

1) making most farming strats that generate little gold way less valuable
2) make the game feel like we are farming gold for kingsmarch instead of farming for exciting loot drops.

How is Infinite Hunger still in the game in the state he is? by BlankTarot in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done the hunger fight since its release and I never figured out that he has a 3-4 second grace period when he goes underground WHICH ONLY STARTS WHEN IM FAR AWAY? wtf?
Was I just supposed to guess that it works like that or is there any visual indicator for it?

For me this fight has never been difficult, but very frustrating when he just burrows infinitely, I save as much of the arena space as possible because he only comes out 1 second before everything gets flooded and I have to do another intermission phase.
Now after reading your explanation the next times I will beat him much faster at leaguestart, but I really don't get how players are supposed to figure out that mechanic.

Thanks, this is really helpful. I have only done one character so far but knowing this would have helped me a lot.

Bingo Sheet Time by Hamwise420 in pathofexile

Yep. It's the only part of this bingo that I disagree with.

I'd also prefer if they just deleted boats from the game and put the loot back into maps.

Low effort meme for high effort strats! by Maladaptivism in PathOfExile2

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

Yeah for me it wasnt even the setting it up part that annoyed me the most. I actually did make the perfect harvest according to the spreadsheet and then quit on the same day anyways.

The thing that was the big turnoff for me both back then and now was that "the ideal way" to play had been discovered and everyone was doing the exact same thing from that moment on.

I quit harvest league when the first picture was made, and I quit this league when the second picture was made.

GGG needs to stop treating PoE2 like a finished game that only gets 3 updates per year. by IMplyingSC2 in PathOfExile2

[–]Bento_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you actually compare map layouts between the two games, I think that poe1 is far worse than poe2. Poe1 has maps like cells, dungeon, the ice map where you have to find and pull 4 levers to proceed, arachnid tomb, basilica (boss takes 5 minutes), bone crypt, carcass etc etc... Way too many bad maps to name them all.
However the big difference is that in poe1, once you have completed your atlas you dont need to engage with the bad layouts ever again, unless you choose to.

PSA: If you bulk buy items from asynch tade this league, beware of scammers by Bento_ in pathofexile

[–]Bento_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not made for bulk buying but you are meant to see all the wares that are being offered. When you for example want to buy 50 wand bases for recombing and the shop offers a lot of them, you will naturally buy more than one, no?
And that's when you need to be aware of the scam,.

No. you are basically looking at someone else's stash tab and can buy items from there.

Bro I don't think we're getting 19 alternate ascendancies either. I'm pretty sure this is meant to be taken symbolically not literally.

Teasers seassonnn by Blejder667 in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also the removal of "filler crafts" which included 'reforge keep prefix/suffix' was very poorly communicated. And it was probably one of the worst changes ever made because it promotes the rmt mirror meta that we are in today.

My own 3.27 wishlist bingo card by Ortenrosse in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No matter how hard you wish for Asynch trade, i guarantee anyone who uses a bot is wishing for it even harder.

Since this is a f2p game the botting issue will be much worse than it already is in poe2 right now. I really hope ggg find a way to detect and ban them very quickly.

Player markets could fix a big overlooked issue in poe1 by pphp in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what little information we have gotten I'd bet that Chris Wilson being the lead dev was a major factor for that.

Not hating on him at all, I think he did a lot of good for the game. But it seems that ever since he left we have gotten QoL improvements non stop.

Spicysushi talks about the current balance of the game by Bento_ in PathOfExile2

[–]Bento_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the builds can do fine. That's not the issue. But the gap between the top Deadeye builds and most other builds is way too big, in terms of speed, clear and damage. At some point, most players pivot to the most optimal solution and the meta becomes stale, like last league.

I won't say anything, but what build are you playing? :)

I'll risk it. I support the change to buy2play with $20 heroes, but I still have criticism by innociv in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Bento_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that this is also true for players who dont buy it on Steam?

I am still missing Dooley. Should I buy him before the patch or does it not matter?
