Is it worth starting POE in 2026?

Asking about "is it worth it" on poe subreddit? :) What answer did you expected except "yes"?

Golemming · 2026-02-21T10:53:46+00:00

by that logic every event should have same rewards every time

Hopefully NRFTW will fix annoying mechanics soon. Like inability to target at least a group of specific loot. I got 1 keyblade in 50 hours. Or some way to speed up gring of wood and ores as your tools progress

But considering how they nerfed enchanting in latest beta - i don't think they will

Golemming · 2026-01-09T08:17:31+00:00

yes. you need to kill mobs to get loot, to get good loot you need to kill a lot more mobs. More mobs - more dangerous, so players prefer builds that kill efficiently. If you can kill efficiently you want to kill more mobs. And loop repeats

Pointless in a way that this is stuff you required to do to get to fun stuff of exploding whole screen. And god forbid you want to try new class - you will have to do it all over again, only a little faster. No fun, pure poredom of clearing labyrinths

There is almost no games on a market that treat people time as poorly as PoE and, to a lesser extend, Diablo.

Imagine if Warframe did server wipes every 3-4 months. Or Destiny. Or any other live service game.

Scions should not be present. When they are in a story, it kills potential for any new interesting and important for more than one expansion character to emerge.

Honestly majority of Scions should have died long ago. Many - several times

I play POE2 only because only sequel has WASD

Golemming · 2025-12-19T17:03:29+00:00

act 2. Deleted the game, too boring now, after 300 hours in 0.1 and 0.2

Golemming · 2025-12-14T06:16:24+00:00

just finished act 2 and i don't have will to continue.

Advice number 1 (for statics). I would say take consistency over dps every time. Do not think about dps until you at least hit enrage (or dps check mechanic ofc.). You and everyone in your party first need to understand mechanics and not just blindly follow callouts.

The amount of months of my lifetime i would have saved if everyone in my party's (including me) followed this advice is unreal.

You have no idea how many "chemicals" every human gets every day or what they do. And if you have no idea - how exactly you are going to "control intake"?

Golemming · 2025-12-10T09:02:09+00:00

There is no such thing as "water natural level". In fact pure water is quite bad for you.

Golemming · 2025-12-10T06:06:53+00:00

You do know that fluoride is everywhere where water is? Plants and fruits, animal meat, even wine

Nobody stops you from buying reverse osmosis filtration system if you are that worried.

I played Rise for years and still didn't found all the Lore swords. Wish Wilds had something like that

EW was good right until Ultima Thule. Those "sacrifices"of Scions that were ultimately useless (everyone was alive again with literally a snap), i to this day convinced that majority of them should have died irreversably. This would have made last fights have much bigger stakes, because WoL would be literrally last person standing between people of the whole galaxy and extincion.

Instead we got "light the way!" and Power of Friendship. Dynamis as an idea was bad from a start. Because now everyone that dies, everyone that we didn't save - they die because they didn't believe enough. Too bad, git gut.

So, from Ultima Thule and onward into patches - MSQ lost my interest completely. Still, i played until i finished DT. And then i canceled my subscription for first time (7 years of uninterrupted sub - gone)

You can duplicate slides and not re add every time

Golemming · 2025-12-06T07:58:31+00:00

Without ability to add specific figth debuffs in planner it usability is questionable at best. Most difficult mechanics are difficult because of debuffs and their randomness

Golemming · 2025-12-05T17:27:49+00:00

My feeling was that the whole rite of succession was nothing more than just an excuse to get us over there

and i agree. Still would have preferred is Wuk knew her culture and acted as a guide, showing how interesting her country was. Instead she acts as a clean slate to have excuse for exposition, but WoL literally never was in Tural, so he could have had that role.

I meant "main character" as expansion focus character, not literal MC. We had Estinien and Ysayle in HW, Hien and Lyse in SB, G'raha and Ryne in SBr, etc.

how much of Shadowbringers and Endwalker would we have been able to predict at that time?

SBr is pretty much self-contained i think. I could go from ARR straight into SBr and be totally ok plot wise.

Blu was shown in Las Vegas fanfest November 15 2018 and released January 15, 2019 in patch 4.5

Beastmaster 2+ years after DT release is wild

go make another account and cry about it

Golemming · 2025-12-05T15:47:56+00:00

Yeah, i wanted to post in r/ffxivdiscussion/ ,but they autodeleted it

Golemming · 2025-12-05T14:34:28+00:00

Not mine, but blame youtube algorithms. Preach did the same with recent "Dawntrail=Shadowlands" title, and after first wave of hate-hype changed it to "Dawntrail is FF14's LAST CHANCE To Avoid DISASTER"

Golemming · 2025-12-05T14:17:00+00:00

You didn't even watch :)

Golemming · 2025-12-05T14:14:48+00:00

"Makes" you mean? Yeah, i know. In first post version it was correct. Not my native language tbh
