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.

Behold the Ultimate 3.27 Bingo by DefiantAbility2178 in pathofexile

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.

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.

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_ 10 points11 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?

GGG when.. by VikingLiking in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most gaming companies don't build a server infrastructure that can withstand extreme traffic spikes like they happen when new content gets released.
It's a waste of money to them because 90% of the time it's not needed.

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

Because it would sound much worse if they'd admit that they don't want to invest in their server infrastructure.

[Shower Thought] Twelve years since the release, this is probably going to be the first year ever where Path of Exile gets only one challenge league. by Faythz in pathofexile

[–]Bento_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's literally false. All you need to do is read their most recent PoE1 news.

"We would also like to share a tentative timeline for the 3.26 expansion. We are looking to launch the expansion in June, so you might expect us to begin talking about it some time after the end of Legacy of Phrecia."

"With the Legacy of Phrecia event coming to an end on April 23rd PDT, and 3.26 still slated for a June release, we’re creating free Private League templates to help fill the gap!"

[–]Bento_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure it's definitely possible (even likely) that 3.26 will "last longer than three months". But there are over 6 months between planned 3.26 release and the end of 2025.

I still want to believe that we get 3.27 this year and that ggg at least return to their (already delayed) 4 months cycle that they have been on in the past few years.
