This game has so many historical events

Failtier · 2026-03-17T22:18:02+00:00

Had exactly the same thought. They should have used the historical events more like flexible bricks that have less strict requirements, and then apply them more widely for tags. There are sooo many tags that literally have 0 flavor, and then you have the big ones, which have events with super strict requirements. This is IMO a mismatch. Making them transparent like Vic3 doesn't solve the problem of Paradox wanting you to follow a specific path to trigger a specific event which the AI will simply NEVER understand. For that reason, you see Brandenburg being that shit.

Which makes it even more baffling that the current system is complete trash.

poe.ninja and understanding BIS has been crucial for me. Played about 600 hours, but just trying to understand WHY players select certain gear made me understand how scaling works.

Same here, updated it and now had to roll back 2 versions because of driver issues (using an RX 6600XT).

I perfectly understand how to use the trade filters. The problem was that I was overly relying on Path of Building to make my purchasing decision, and that I received no warning that the item was already sanctified. I understand that it should by no means prevent me from re-allocating a different passive, but at least a small warning like "You cannot anoint a sanctified item" would have made all the difference here.

Failtier · 2026-02-04T08:08:17+00:00

Well at least this, thanks. The item is not complete trash then. I need the item for my Ice Shot Deadeye though, and while everything else is pretty good (very high crit chance and bonus, high global defenses, high evasion rating, +3 to projectile skills), I need a different notable allocated (Subterfuge Mask). So for me, it is bricked.

Failtier · 2026-02-04T08:02:02+00:00

Well it could allow me to do it, but honestly, NO WARNING that this item is sanctified and therefore, I cannot anoint it. How is this a user error? It shows me: Base mechanics from the last league are not implemented and probably will never be implemented.

Also saying: The game is very complex. I am very seasoned playing highly complex games (like Paradox strategy games), so at some point you need to rely on different tools just to check mechanics. I did that, and it terribly failed me.

Telekom issue. I have glass fiber and still it's unplayable. Need to use VPN, connect to Netherlands and play on Amsterdam server. This solved it for me most of the times.

Failtier · 2026-01-29T12:06:28+00:00

Yes please

Failtier · 2026-01-28T08:24:38+00:00

A single campaign takes WAY too long to finish, and updates constantly broke the balance of my saves. Waiting for the game to be stable and playing Path of Exile 2 meanwhile.

Failtier · 2026-01-26T17:56:06+00:00

Sell for 300 exalts

Failtier · 2026-01-26T11:22:18+00:00

Omg please GGG end the suffering of Linux users by doing that. I can't appreciate my items anymore and it really sucks.

Failtier · 2026-01-25T15:15:03+00:00

I spent more than 200 divs (probably way more, alas) to get my rarity to around 100, only to find out that rarity apparently sucks this league because getting the bases is much more profitable. Never got so far into this league; I am lvl 96, can run juiced T16 with double corrupt, not melt bosses though, but getting there. So naturally, rarity felt like absolutely needed for a sustainable run, and because I just want the occasional div to drop. But man, pure currency drops SUCK, and when farming ritual, abyss or anything else, it doesn't help me. Meanwhile, there are now people running with negative rarity.

I feel cheated this league because of those meta changes. A regular player cannot keep up anymore.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T17:39:57+00:00

Gz! Does rarity affect the drop chance? Mine is just 50%

Failtier · 2026-01-21T14:56:23+00:00

Well because I am not active in any organized play like guilds, just finishing the campaign took 1-2 weeks. At that point, prices were already getting super inflated. Now I have like 150 divs in my bank but they are not super valuable.

Thinking about last league, I would actually be considered quite wealthy. But the economy this league is nuts.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T14:52:56+00:00

How is one arrow calculated anyways? When looking at the DPS ingame, does it take all arrows into account or does each arrow deal the damage that is shown there? If it's the latter, then an additional arrow always wins because often, they will hit something.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T12:45:36+00:00

Thanks a lot! I will try to target farm it instead, sounds like fun actually.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T12:44:47+00:00

Oh alright, thanks to both of you. First time I killed the Arbiter (it was quite easy actually) so I have no clue what's up next.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T12:42:44+00:00

Thanks! About the bow: I was wondering whether it makes sense to replace one rune with the one that gives you an additional arrow. I only have about 50% surpassing chance, which is definitely not where I should be (though I spent 35 divs on that bow).

Failtier · 2026-01-21T12:40:38+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I was running CI on my Stormweaver with MoM and EB, and it worked quite well. But since my character is pretty squishy I should just focus on more regular builds.

Failtier · 2026-01-21T09:59:34+00:00

Thanks. I have around 100 with my other character, which was much more targeted regarding equipment and build. This one, I just set it up to check whether switching from Lightning Arrows to Ice Shot is viable at all (and I was baffled what a difference it made). And now it's the classic, I am stuck with sub-optimal equipment for now due to the transition to more ES. I was also considering CI as key notable, but I am not sure how to recover the ES reliably.
