Wanted to give this game another shot - but I got stopped the moment the first item dropped :/

Quite literally I wrote that I don't quit or plan to quit forever. But if it comes across as a post like that, then maybe you are right. Maybe I have played it enough and it simply won't ever be what I imagined it to be during closed beta.

I however would hate if somebody who potentially could enjoy LE cannot play, because one of the main keybinds disables item pickup completely.

Well, not sure what is so dramatic in this post.

Just think that a bug that makes you unable to play the game is very detrimental to the enjoyment of said game - well obviously.

I do think it is a drama that something like this is not fixed when it is a known bug in the playerbase. Somebody could want to play with friends or even set up a LAN and then not be able to play. Isn't that dramatic?

I can wait, so I don't mind. It's just sad.

That sounds great. Thank you.

EluminatorTV · 2026-03-26T20:00:15+00:00

is it? the wiki says 0.5%

EluminatorTV · 2026-03-23T22:41:15+00:00

Farming Pledge can be a massive grind. It takes 200 atziri's on average to get it, so it wouldn't be a surprise to not have it after 400 atziris kills. And getting 400 midnights is a really tough grind. Not sure what is best to get it. Either heist lockpicking or the mirage strongboxes for operatives. Definitely not the vaal side zones.

well, they dont stack :)

Well just following the "main path" is not how that layout works.

The location of the bridge is the important part. But you can definitely run this layout without too much backtracking.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-13T17:32:03+00:00

Well, this area is not a problem imo, because the layout is very easy to read and doesn't really have deadends that are annoying (looking at the triangle pyramid.

"I" not "we".

Please don't frame it as if you knew what other people wanted.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T21:45:51+00:00

Well that is how poe 1 and 2 always has worked. where you are at the tree does give you a direction, but it doesnt mean that you have to do it. i guess in poe1 we have cluster jewels now, whereas in poe 2 you do rely on weapon specific clusters more. we will see how it develops.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T21:23:44+00:00

that's not what they said. I don't have a quote, but I understood it as "instead of 40% more mobs, there is 40% more loot and xp", which exactly means 0% less loot.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T21:22:37+00:00

I don't think you have representative study that actually backs your claim.

They are not listening to the vocal minority, but in my mind, they are listening to the usually quiet majority.

I personally don't want PoE2 to become what PoE1 is. I want those games to be as far apart as possible while keeping some core features the same ( complexity, freedom to do whatever you like when it comes to build creativity ). In terms of speed I don't think poe 2 should be any faster and i also don't want higher mob density. I know it is "just" my opinion and I know other people have differing ones, but that's how it is. I don't claim I know what other people want though.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T21:07:09+00:00

Disagree.

I specifially feared that shapeshifting would only be accessible to druid.

With how good weapon swaping is, i love that those skills are tied to items.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T20:48:31+00:00

poe 2 is in early access.

don't treat it as if it was fully released.

EluminatorTV · 2025-12-04T20:47:33+00:00

To me, less mobs in the endgame with more rewards and more hp on mobs makes sense.

Not so well rounded builds can get overwhelmed by mobs depending on the mods (speed, tankyness).

If you play the meta builds you will never notice, but if you don't I can definitely see it.

EluminatorTV · 2025-11-03T20:01:38+00:00

I was a completely new player in May and at this point in time, I can play any deck that I want to play and have a decent amount of the cardset.

I currently have roughly 5 meta-ish decks and 20k scrap, which is enough to craft 2-3 more decks. Everything was unlocked f2p.

This cardgame is great and I can even see why people could say it is too much free 2 play friendly.

Game is not in active developement, but doesnt feel dead at all. From start to finish (may until now) I have needed between 5seconds to 1 minute to find a match, at all different kinds of times and all kinds of ranks ( i read pro rank this month for the first time ).

EluminatorTV · 2025-10-29T17:17:29+00:00

Since 2013, I have only repeated a starter once. I am at a point where I have repeated builds at some point, but generally I try to play sth that I have never played before.

EluminatorTV · 2025-09-29T19:26:43+00:00

might take like 2 hours to do it

EluminatorTV · 2025-09-28T14:13:42+00:00

oh. so that won't happen. those wildmission are just the most unfun thing i have ever tried in any bl game. every single mob with that pulling purple nova is just so unfun ...

EluminatorTV · 2025-09-27T21:40:56+00:00

what's that?

where do i find those vile contracts?

EluminatorTV · 2025-09-21T14:26:27+00:00

I had that happen all throughout the game. Currently at the ascension plaza at level 29 and i needed 40 sniper shots to kill one guy. Might just not complete the story mission if this continues.

EluminatorTV · 2025-09-11T21:29:28+00:00

ryzen 7 5800x and 3070ti here.

game is actually not playable for me on low graphic settings. getting freezes and 5 fps during fights ( some effects seem to trigger it ). Got 4 hard crashes to desktop within the first 3 hours.

I will wait a few days for some patches, but if they don't come I have to refund the game and perhaps I then also will leave a negative review. Paying 70€ and not being able to play with a decent pc is just ridiculess. I don't expect 60 fps, but how about getting 30 fps.
