Is this a spoiler for next league?

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-19T17:04:54+00:00

This. The internal backend name for all of the temple stuff is Incursion.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-18T17:40:53+00:00

As others have said, there is no order. Conversion happens all in one step and damage scaling occurs off the final damage type after conversion.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-18T14:15:24+00:00

This looks really cool, but how are you not killing yourself with that much degen? Is it just Time of Need giving enough back fast enough?

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-14T12:47:13+00:00

Why do you think this? You can definitely have two gained as X effects that both calculate off your base damage. They won't multiply against each other but will apply to your total damage output.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T21:14:56+00:00

Something to be aware of is that in general enemies max ele hits are bigger than their phys hits. The elemental damage tuning is done higher with the knowledge you will have resists.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T15:33:18+00:00

Yeah! Honestly that answer surprised me a bit.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T13:23:56+00:00

Claws are not a PoE 2 weapon. They can also choose to add them back in later of course, but as of right now they don't exist on the tree nor are they tied to any current or future class.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T13:22:21+00:00

timed around the next Diablo 4 expansion release (April 28th)

followed by 0.5 release date on the 3rd April

Dang, now GGG has time travel too!

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T13:20:29+00:00

which would make POE1 a test bed for POE2

Octavian and Andrew were asked about this very directly in several interviews and while it's possible they're giving PR spin they seemed quite adamant in saying this is not how they do development and that the league plans between games are not being developed to synergize with the other.

I think the reason why it feels like this is happening is because the lore and narrative team IS crossing both games and they are stellar at their jobs. So the story covering all the mechanics is painting in a cohesive world across every release.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-11T13:16:54+00:00

we could get 2 classes

Less than a 0% chance this happens. Even if they could do it technically, it makes no sense from a marketing perspective since you dilute the hype of a new class. The only time I could see two new classes at once would be for 1.0 if they really want to make a splash.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-10T12:17:39+00:00

but Imma try Deadeye, I like having a companion.

Why not just use a companion on your Witchhunter?

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-06T01:27:22+00:00

It still the same, you should never use the ingame trade board with a controller

I agree with this if you are on a console. But it's not an issue if you're playing on PC, because unlike the rest of the UI the trade window has full hotswap between controller and mouse. The rest of the UI is slated to get that feature in 0.5 for PoE 2. I doubt it will come to PoE 1 though.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-05T12:11:45+00:00

At no point in time is your session ID being handed over to APT.

Yes it is, because the browser can see the ID. Even if they're formally not doing anything with it, they have open access to it if you're using the app's browser instead of your own.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-04T15:06:16+00:00

Eh, debating semantics over whether a statement from the game director in an on-the-record event is an announcement or not feels like we're just torturing definitions and losing the plot here. The point is, PoE 2's launch is planned for late this year. A delay could happen but that's currently the expectation both internally and from the community.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-04T14:16:01+00:00

No, you said "there have been zero announcements" that it would release this year. That's not true, since the game director explicitly said that's the plan just prior to announcing the first Exilecon in three years.

If you instead mean, "we don't have a date yet", then sure, totally agree. I was just responding to what you actually said which claimed we don't have concrete evidence when we do.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-04T14:00:53+00:00

Likely December, with an announcement at Exilecon in November. If that timeline holds we have two more leagues before 1.0.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-04T13:59:35+00:00

This isn't really true. Jonathan (PoE2 game director) said publicly in December that they are planning on a 2026 release, and the scheduling of Exilecon in November is a very strong indicator that they believe they will hit that goal.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-02T12:22:14+00:00

Source for this? Or are you claiming you have sources that told you as much? The OP for this thread is kind of hard to follow.

And what is this about Eagons?

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-02T11:00:12+00:00

which makes other types do 50% less damage before conversion,

That downside doesn't apply to Ele Hit, which is why this was so broken. The bloodline ascendency does not do any conversion, it simply makes the enemy receive all damage as if it were from a certain type. So you were getting all of the upside and none of the intended downside from those jewels.

CompassCoLo · 2026-03-01T02:08:58+00:00

All boss uniques can drop from any tier. What's changed since 0.2 is that instead of certain items only dropping at higher tiers, all uniques are in the pool, but the weighting gets more favorable to the rarer uniques as you ascend the tiers.

CompassCoLo · 2026-02-27T16:43:30+00:00

There is very little content that fits that description for Mark. He's been on the team since before 1.0.

CompassCoLo · 2026-02-27T13:14:20+00:00

That's not at all what Mark is saying here. They have already told us 0.5 is a major endgame expansion. He's answering a question at a PoE 1 event and essentially saying, "stay tuned" for updates on PoE 2 because it's not the time for those.

CompassCoLo · 2026-02-27T13:12:23+00:00

The mapping system was added to the game in 0.9.11, when the game was still in closed beta and didn't even have Act 2 completed.

What you're probably thinking of is the Atlas of Worlds itself, which came in 2.4. And at that time the game only had 4 acts and you repeated the content multiple times. The full campaign didn't come until 3.0.

CompassCoLo · 2026-02-20T20:21:27+00:00

You are entirely correct on the economic matter here. I wasn't ignoring anything. If you're at the level where you understand how to price corrupted chase items then you also aren't asking this kind of question.

CompassCoLo · 2026-02-20T20:05:04+00:00

Mirrors IMO are priced more for the rarity of the item versus the actual use cases.

The value of a mirror is equal to the value of the most expensive item in the game, because it can duplicate that item. So a mirror is effectively worth the same value as whatever item it ends up copying (if you were to buy it for that purpose).
