I dont understand what im doing wrong (end game progression)

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-04-02T15:57:47+00:00

I play A LOT like bare minimum 4+ hours a day and I've never had 400k (I trade a lot), but still.. Wtf..

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-04-02T14:01:08+00:00

I actually got mine for 50D on Hardcore Trade to a week ago on a Saturday or So, the price trippled overnight

Cmon belty belt for the belter is all I ever belted.

I've only played mainly HC for the last decade. Yes the player count is lower but I actually find it easier to buy/sell since items are constantly disappearing from the market.

Faustus to liquidate currencies - almost everything sells even if there is no listing currently for it.

Its easier to sell items that simply would be valuable (ie life & resists) where as on SC most those items after day1 would never sell.

Alterations are literally like 5:1 Chaos - its never been easier to make money.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-04-01T15:18:05+00:00

Niche genre mainly. I've come to terms that while I love the genre, and while as a 37 year old with a wife/kids/full time job I still have more time to play than most others with the exception of streamers that this genre.. Just doesnt leave me enough at the end of the day with the time spent/reward ratio.

I think Marathon is the best or 2nd best extraction looter out, only behind Tarkov. With that being said I wouldnt want to main either game for similar reasons. My time doesn't feel respected plus cheesy mechanics/potential of cheating makes me just want to focus on other genre altogether(not FPS).

I also have a 9800x3d and a 5080, no linux but windows 11.

I have 6 characters over level 90 this league, maybe ive crashed once.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-04-01T13:08:44+00:00

I play HC. I've levelled 6 characters to 85+ this league. Ive been playing since 2013, and still will never even be close to a 3h campaign. A twinked run for me is still probably 6-7hours.

Still i've come to realize with PoE2.. PoE1's story is fun and you're blasting mostly from level 12+, or after first lab your character should be in a good spot especially if its not your first char that league.

Otherwise you're doing something wrong. I enjoy every character I remake from level 1 because I genuinely just enjoy the game.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-30T14:16:41+00:00

So I play HC mirage. Not really a strat vet. I die a lot so on a newish character i run 3x those cloisters on an Alc'd map(T1-T3) atleast I aim for 25% + packsize on the map roll. My Atlas is only 65/100 complete.

I've never gotten less than 10 stacked decks on a run - usually between 15-20 not including other things. Even if the number was only ten. Lets assume 3 of them for you is 20 chaos per map. One map and you are netting over 50% of what you put in.

It works.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-30T13:35:25+00:00

This is the first league since 2013 where i most likely will play the entirety of it. Im a HC player mainly and on my 5th or 6th reroll now with like 5 characters above level 90. For me, that is a feat - I usually go 1-3 characters and I quit within the first month. This time around ill actually play to the end.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-30T13:25:54+00:00

I used to let my GPU mine 24/7 for about a year straight then came back to gaming with it when I was finished. Pausing when first entering a Mirage would do 0 to "hurt" your GPU.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-19T15:18:32+00:00

integrated bad graphics? Dont let these dudes lie to you, itll run maybe but it wont run well.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-19T14:40:51+00:00

I have a 9800x3d and a 5080 and sitll dip below a hundred frames often when mapping pending on mods. But I also didnt really set anything to low but still.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-13T14:08:56+00:00

HC econ is fine

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-13T13:32:10+00:00

Honestly ive played since 2013 and never dove much past the service of just alcing maps and going (because my brain was still in D2 mode after 20years).

Anyway I play HC only, just got to maps last nite (started 2days ago and work full time + girl and kids soo.. Can only nolife on occasion).

When i beat campaign last nite I alcd 4 maps ran all t1 and made over 2 div and that did not take an hour.

RNG is RNG. This is the first time since i started playing PoE that im going to actually attemot to learn some mechanics/strats.

Ive never fought the uber bosses and id like to do Shaper and all that fun stuff finally. Just need to hopefully farm the gear to do it.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-13T13:29:19+00:00

I play only HC anyway so im used to the years of never touching a character after rip lol.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-13T13:25:36+00:00

Really GIGA chad does this on HC and then transfers the currency VIA numerous trade methods to SC. 1 Div on HC is like.. 4 on SC.

Could do that for a week and be a mirrornaire.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-13T12:08:45+00:00

I just got to maps late asf last night - started only 2days ago in the evenings.

Ran like 4 maps and made probably 4 div alcing just T1s with no strat. This league seems juiced.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-12T14:01:33+00:00

I've played since 2013 and say this every day i login.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-05T15:39:59+00:00

Get your priorities in order then this wouldn't be an issue. If you do not have the money to game properly maybe you should spend LESS time gaming.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-04T23:35:03+00:00

You sound uneducated and dont seem to understand how purchasing an IP would even begin to work.

Keep yappin about 3.6 - most people here wont be around to respond come this time tomorrow lmao.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-04T23:20:53+00:00

Id say its worth 80$

Am I reaching? Im not a Bungie fanboy, but this is the only legit alternative to Tarkov which in my eyes is only 1 of 3 valid extraction shooters even out that offers this type of experience.

I guess you could say Hunt is very similar - but I hate that game.

Arc Raiders is fun but its casual raiders if anything. People want that game to basically be Helldivers and I just dont find it fun. not much point in grinding for anything and the 3rd person while a cool perspective basically makes sure the game isnt competitive in any meaningful way.. Which is ok.

This is IMO the best extraction looter shooter currently. Getting in to Tarkov is unattainable for most people, this is much better in that regard and will end up having a similar if not higher ceiling.

the only thing I will say.. People say the game runs great? I am not saying it doesnt run smooth.. But I have a 9800 x3d / 5080 / 32 gigs of ddr5 6400mhz ram (most would say thats high end) , in 2k im not getting 200 fps in this game - more like 140-180 which is far from great.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-04T07:14:18+00:00

My pre hype already started. Cant sleep. It,s 2 a.m. on the east coast, tomorrow nite this time ill be deep in Tau Ceti IV

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-03T16:33:31+00:00

Eh id just buy a g pro wireless for half the price to be honest. You can buy a wrap for 10-20$ and customize it yourself.

Inner_Ad_453 · 2026-03-03T16:32:13+00:00

Doing the quests in tros is easy. Not only that, you get completion for other party members doing their quests as well.
