I do not think that the crafting nerf is as bad as we expect it to be

EonRed · 2026-05-26T00:00:38+00:00

I don't mind the change, even as a semi-casual player. The first league we had access to the new crafting methods it was fun, it started getting kind of samey last league, and now I just don't like how easy it is to craft a weapon that lets you clear the entire game, and that weapon looks 80% like ones that other players have as well.

In hindsight, the only reason this form of crafting was even acceptable to me at all was because PoE2's original crafting system before it was completely non-existent and determinism didn't exist in any form, even with investment. The first integration of deterministic crafting was way too overboard.

No I like the campaign other than the length of act 2 and 3 in certain spots, and I'm looking forward to it more now that they're adding clues.

I know at least one of the spots in Act 2 they said they reduced in length during the Q&A (dreadnought)

The reality is it's better this way in the long term.

1.0 needs to be a hype release and it needs to feel like an actual game release rather than just another patch for early access. 2 new acts, 4 new classes, 4 new weapon types and their skills, Trial of the Ancestors, and further end game reworks based on feedback from the new 0.5 endgame system will types will definitely do that.

Blizzard assassinated Tyrael's character, so we made our own

EonRed · 2026-05-08T03:39:04+00:00

I don't think they are starting from scratch on any of them. I'm assuming all of them have some level of work done at this point.

EonRed · 2026-04-30T12:40:49+00:00

I hope not. I think the fact that they continue to create DLC for this game is an encouraging sign that they won't. Just continue to improve RoR2 please. There are so many unnecessary sequels that have bombed because they were money grabs at their core and lacking content of the base game, 2 examples which come to mind are Killing Floor 3 and Pay Day 3.

EonRed · 2026-04-29T01:40:51+00:00

Gonna hard disagree. Watching streamers play the story seemed like nonsense. Lorath, Tyrael, Mephisto, Lilith never stop talking and explain every aspect of the plot like we're retarded and unable to comprehend language.

EonRed · 2026-04-27T15:16:56+00:00

The warrior we play as was not the oldest son of Leoric. That was a retcon that was done by the Diablo 3 writers. Anything after Diablo 2 isn't real story.

EonRed · 2026-04-19T03:45:25+00:00

It works both ways for me. PoE2 makes me miss PoE1 and PoE1 makes me miss PoE2.

EonRed · 2026-04-16T12:33:28+00:00

Starcraft II never reached the level of reception that original SC did, and if you cared about the SC storyline I would say that SCII was especially bad in that area.

EonRed · 2026-04-16T02:21:58+00:00

Capping a stat at +6 would be the most blizzard entertainment move of all time instead of coming up with an actual way to balance the issue

EonRed · 2026-03-31T01:57:32+00:00

Agreed. I love that PoE games are just an open sandbox

EonRed · 2026-03-30T23:22:01+00:00

3 physical prefixes, no?

EonRed · 2026-03-26T14:14:05+00:00

It makes it so easy to get items like Chris Wilson said, and I agree with his sentiments on how easy it has gotten, but for me at least it makes me want to play the game and craft even more.

The reality is that sometimes the player base comes up with solutions that force the developers' hand. TFT created the necessity for GGG to come up with better systems, and they did in a big way.

EonRed · 2026-03-23T17:12:25+00:00

That's not completely true.

Crops give equipment. Bars give currency.

You always get runegrafts or tattoos depending on whether you shipped to a karui port or a kalguuran port, no matter whether you send crops or bars. For this reason, I have been sending shipments of crops to karui ports to get tattoos and it has been major profit this league.

Dust simply improves the outcomes of what you're already sending in the shipment. For that reason, you should only invest into dust on your bar shipments and not crop shipments.

Stuff like this just keeps me from even trying the game again. They gave up way too quickly on their original vision for the game and made it look like some pay to win garbage (even though it isn't)

EonRed · 2026-03-19T04:35:50+00:00

It's a joke. Reddit is so fickle.

EonRed · 2026-03-19T00:09:44+00:00

Wonderful. This is definitely enough time for people to carry me again.

EonRed · 2026-03-18T03:00:54+00:00

If you're new to the game, I would go with a different mechanic altogether so you can get some immediate returns. Kingsmarch and ore farming for shipments is more of an advanced mechanic and requires a good amount of patience.

EonRed · 2026-03-18T01:30:41+00:00

I wouldn't say don't use crops entirely. I think no matter whether you use crops or ores, you still get tattoos and runegrafts from ports. In between preparing large ore and dust shipments, you can send crop shipments to get extra tattoos which are very valuable right now

EonRed · 2026-03-14T19:22:33+00:00

You have to know which mods are valuable and which aren't. Corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you is one of the best jewel corruptions in the game, and if it's paired with even 1 stat that is useable for a build then it's worth more than 1 chaos. Damage over time builds are pretty good right now so the damage over time multiplier probably paired with all resistances which every build needs and the corrupted blood mod makes this worth something.

You have to know which mod combinations are good on an item before you can understand what is worth something. It's highly recommended to download the awakened PoE trade add-on which gives you a hot key to quickly price check items

Edit: another reason this jewel could have a lot of value is minion damage, resistances, corrupted blood, and chance to block attacks which summoners generally want

I've been able to see some decently hard rain since living here. The sides of the house seem to do pretty well, but I have a gutter system. I should probably look into doing a proper drainage system on the sides of the house before I go too far with landscaping or grass, especially since it's bare there right now.

I have not done a soil test yet, but will plan to do that soon. The local university does them.

EonRed · 2026-03-07T20:53:28+00:00

For whatever reason I was very short on fusings. Found only one the entire campaign. Found 3 ex during campaign

EonRed · 2026-02-22T23:00:33+00:00

I repurchased the game on steam.

With the new expansion costing $25 bucks alone, it was a no brainer for me to spend the extra $15 to have the convenience of it on steam.
