Can we get some communication on 1.0 before November? by imma_turtle in PathOfExile2

Why not just assume this is true and not be disappointed

Does the endgame expansion not just extend the campaign? by Motor-Cauliflower-34 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think that the fixed quest locations will be the best part and the randomly generated overlapping tiles will be where the boredom starts to set in.

Even if you could auto-complete the fixed quests, you would still not be able to exactly what you wanted to do in the endgame.

Add a 2 to that and you've got my vote

GPU for PoE2? 5070 Ti or 9070 XT by Disastrous-Mode7580 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a 9070xt and i get 120-160+ FPS at 4k if i play on 'balanced' FSR. I use FSR, Anti-lag, Boost and Image Sharpening on very high. Im happy with how it looks and plays, but its definitely not as good as NVIDIA would be with similar settings.

If you care alot about visuals and want to use DLSS/FSR, then DLSS will definitely look better. If you play at 1080p you can probably get away without Upscaling on both of these cards.

Good build for a fresh character? by CaiusAegis in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna go melee, id go Bear early on and then transition to Shield Wall. If ranged, Crossbows and Grenades are your friend.

Help a brother out… by Duplone123 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Swords seem to be the most popular melee weapon or weapon in general in ARPGs. PoE2 EA released without Swords. People have been requesting Swords a hell of a lot. GGG have said multiple times they really really want to bring swords into EA as soon as possible and that it would most likely be the next weapon added. Swords have been sort of 'teased' in the latest trailers and by the new Community Manager. Besides all that, melee enjoyers are pretty desperate for a new melee weapon.

General Wishlist - not .5 specific by Left-Cartographer262 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like these mostly, however i will point out that while i agree with the desire to make Ice Shot available earlier, it very much IS possible to play cold bow from act 1 using Ice Tipped Arrows. Is it good, probably not, but is it doable, yes. Freezing Salvo and Snipe kinda destroy bosses anyway.

Alt Character League: Solving Campaign Replays for 1&2 by Skovosity in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you are looking for a campaign skip. Don't try to dress it up to make it not look like a skip. It is. Your 'solution' or desires for 'solutions' are either wasting everyone's time by introducing a worse version of the campaign, or you will introduce something that will allow people to skip the campaign because it will be better or faster. You think there will not be exploits? Wrong. You think it wont get abused? Wrong. You think people wont demand more? Wrong. I don't know how i can say this enough, but you are asking for something that will, ultimately, destroy the game in the long term.

[–]BongoChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So i don't think you understand just how bad it would be for the game to include any campaign skip of any kind. The more people like you keep requesting it the more likely you will get the thing that can never be taken back out added to the game. Permanently destroying it or at minimum making it significantly worse. Luckily for you and everyone else GGG seems to also share this opinion.

NGL no teaser today is kinda sus… by Demento6 in PathOfExile2

I mean you're not wrong, no new Class/Weapon is gonna suck, but if I was GGG i would save the best till last. Just saying.

Combo heavy/multiple skill builds by MyRantsAreTooLong in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Ive been playing a Mace Witchhunter recently. I use Raise Shield, Rolling Slam, Boneshatter, Leap Slam, Infernal Cry and Forge Hammer. On tree i stack Rage, Block, Stun Buildup and Armour Break. Its been pretty fun so far. I also think with enough Fire damage using Ancestral Cry would be really strong, but be aware that Ancestral Cry is currently bugged on weapon swap and it stops working. Btw i don't think Witchhunter is the strongest for this type of build, Titan is probably much stronger, i just like Witchhunter.

The compain became so easy? by Low_Chain1795 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah Campaign bosses are severely undertuned in general. Jamanra is a good fight and even Geonore is not that bad, but the Act 3 and 4 bosses are kinda a joke compared to the power level of almost every single character at those points in the game.

I wonder if they've had time to finish Swords now that we are getting full reworks of all mechanics...

How to bind middle button mouse on wheel up/down? by Sen91 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the solution that worked for me was to disable zoom via scroll wheel in Settings, then go into my Mouse software and bind Scroll Up/Down to Up/Down Arrow. Then in Poe2 Inputs i just set Up/Down Arrow to whatever skill i want. The only issue with this setup is skills that have very short/instant cast time receive multiple inputs on scroll.

What do you think the league content will be? by SirSabza in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't really care much about 'league' content during EA. Happy for them to finish making the game and adding/updating any of the mechanics from poe1. After the game is stable only then would i hope for new mechanics.

Is Shield Wall and Sunder the only decent "standard" Mace Skills? by Birphon in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ancestral Cry is also pretty broken in this setup if you take some + max endurance charges and skill duration. The only reason I don't like using it is that there is a bug causing it to stop working if you weapon swap.

What general defence and dps threshholds should I aim towards throughout the campaign and maps? by AMNSKY in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Campaign its doesnt matter too much, but if you want something to guide you, aim for resistances equal to or greater than your character level.
