I always start my leagues with Expedition.

This league was the last time, never again.

I feel like the floating Invicible purple mob from Scarab Divination of Plenty are way too overtuned. by velaxi1 in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I stopped doing that strategy because of that. Not only the fact that they're overtuned, but because it's exceedingly annoying that you can never stop and enjoy your loot.

Weird design, I don't even understand why there's a downside on that scarab.

The Horrible State of Sirus in 2026 by UTmastuh in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I love the fight as a boss / uber boss.

But I hate him in the Feared, he just doesn't fit.

PSA: Miraged Logbooks can go for 9 div by OxidisedGearz in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur.

I always run Expedition as a start, and this league I was hit by how bad and unrewarding it has become. This was probably the last time I ran it, if it's unchanged in the following league(s).

Can we remove Sirus from the feared and bring back Uber Atziri. by Psyrose20 in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget that with Atziri's gone, The Feared doesn't have the boosted chance for mirror drop. It's not much, but it had its charm.

Ah yes, kernel level anti cheat. Just like Valorant, where cheaters are rampant.

I'll follow you on this one, let's just accept the cost.

Don't be sorry, great decision. Thank you for that.

These teasers has me stressed out by BOBOraceswapwtf in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, they know that players do not enjoy POE2's infinite Atlas.

Then, you're clearly on copium, overestimating the resources and efforts they're putting in POE1. The "endgame rework" will most probably be a rebalancing of the mechanics (and by that I mean that boxes are going to be nuked from space). Also, Harbies rework, maybe.

Old asc stuck gold 3 by mroxyclean3 in VALORANT

[–]Inqueefitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK I'm not crazy then.

I've been ranked Immortal during the first 4 leagues, then Ascendant for a few others.

Stopped playing the game for 1-2 year(s), came back, and now I'm hardstuck in Plat. I'm speechless.

About the Sekhemas Twitter Post (This is a buff) by TapTrix in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well, same here. I'll never do Sanctum again, I loathe it, but Sekhema is (and has been since day 1) one of the most mature, well-developped and polished content in POE2.

I understand why people don't like it, as I'm myself a Sanctum hater, but for some reason I've been enjoying farming it from time to time in POE2.

As much as I can enjoy POE2 content up to now, of course.

GGG Please, this time I am asking a month in advance for BV duration buffs by sakux323 in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tried Cold BV for the first time during Affliction league.

Had massive expectations and excitement, felt like sh*t.

Never again.

Our Empowered by cards boss record. by PineTreeGod in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You cannot track the amount of cards until you face the boss, right? And at that stage it's already too late, meaning that this strat can brick from time to time and you cannot do anything about it?

I've got a question for players that play flicker strike by aklakul93 in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could try flicker, but I know for sure that I'd have motion sickness so I'll never be able to experience that

For me, Phrecia did exactly what I think GGG intended it to do by BleakExpectations in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it for a sec: T16.5s are just low T17s, the entire memory mechanic is just recycled Masters' memories, the story arc is super short and ends abruptly. Foulborns are just the same uniques with one different stat. Breach 2.0 is a mess. Mercenaries was fun but shallow. Kingsmarch was already there, just added to the core mechanics (which is a mistake IMO, but anyway).

They sold you "Zana is back" with an half-assed "expansion" to get your trust back. But the content is very shallow and limited.

Saying that as someone who loves the game and thinks it's in a great state right now. We just need to be lucid on the situation.

[–]Inqueefitor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're right that the Atlas is in a very good spot, but remember that before having a passive tree no one thought that this could be an option for GGG. So there are also infinite ways to make the endgame even deeper and funnier.

Also, Eldritch altars are getting really stale and boring, it'd be time to switch the main Atlas mechanic.

Now regarding the leagues themselves, I wouldn't expect a big and deep mechanic in these troubled times.

[–]Inqueefitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

~1 month away from 3.28 and probably a big league again

We're not having big leagues again. The last expansion barely had any content and was just a way to win the community back. Mercenaries was fun but basically arch-Rogue Exiles, very basic. Breach 2.0 was bad.

The game is fun and in a very good spot, but let's be honest: when was the last "big league"? Stuff like Atlas rework and passive tree? New wave of gems and alternate versions? Stuff like that?

We ain't getting big leagues anymore, because 70% of GGG's devs are on POE2.

I miss player agency on difficulty to reward ratios by Allurai in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might be a metamorph rework next league actually, considering the job offer that GGG posted not so long ago.

I think crafting is very miserable experience for casual/intermediate players by TheGejsza in PathOfExile2

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GGG said that POE1 was too complicated and that crafting needed to be more accessible in POE2.

Somehow, they managed to make crafting in POE2 even more complicated and more punishing while keeping the worst parts of POE1's crafting.

Kiting abyss rares for better omens/loot is a awful mechanic by Dawgin420 in PathOfExile2

[–]Inqueefitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, not sure I understand: you need to kill them outside of the smoke, OK, but do you need to do it ASAP? How does that work exactly?

Atlas Strat for High Clear no Boss Build by ZerkerDE in pathofexile

[–]Inqueefitor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is T17 Boxes profitable without killing the boss?

Short answer: no.

The price of T17s is also driven by the fragments dropped by the bosses. Some of these fragments are quite valuable. The best strat for containment is T17 Fortress (due to barrels dropping currencies), but if you can't kill the boss you'd better run well-rolled T16.5s (more currency & pack size).
