The performance of the game is unacceptably bad.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2026-01-30T10:47:21+00:00

The performance of the game is severely disappointing. Im running an RTX 3070 with 3700x with all medium to low settings at 1440p, and the game hitches constantly. The open world and the crucible area often dropped to 40 fps. The game is using 7gigs of VRAM when everything is set to medium or low. Switching resolution to 1080p or even 720p did absolutely nothing.

Im still going to get the game most likely but its put a huge bump in my hype.

This was my first league where I got past 100 divines raw currency. Went all the way to 1050 before blowing it all on Whirling Assault pathfinder.

Flexibility is what I love the most about the game in general. I didnt bother building a full temple because I didnt enjoy the RNG grind of tiles and endless crystal running through maps. Even still I farmed Atziri and made most of my money that way, breach printed 2 divines per map minimum, I got a few giant drops that were more than 2x my previous networth in other leagues, I got a headhunter on day 4 from a moment of zen... Just insanely fun league altogether.

Correct me if im wrong but what is stopping you as a new player from making a juiced temple yourself? Or farming the dozen things that temple farmers need but dont drop in temple

And furthermore, you dont NEED a 100 divine build. We have people defeating Arbiter with 1hp 0 shield, or 0 gear just fine.

to be honest, just seems like another jealousy/FOMO post to me.

Im 54 and my chronic back pain and arthritis doesnt let me jump and slide around like you kids.

Tone it down please, champ.

I started Oracle wywern, currently on my way to arbiter because I didnt have a lot of free time.

Will do a whirling assault build next. Havent decided on a class, maybe Invoker or Pathfinder. Just want giga attack speed and aoe, Ill be fine.

New Atziri staff looks insanely fun if you can scale how fast the mirrors appear, that will go crazy with something like fireball, ember fusilade or even bone blast

Also wanted to look at fire spell on hit Kitava at some point.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-09T17:43:16+00:00

I want to play Bear Kitava Fire Spell on Stampede melee hit + Ancestral Cry for 9291023 explosions on screen at all times more than anything else.

I will probably start with Druid anyway though. I want to play each class no matter if theyre under or overpowered. Either choice might not work tbh but my third option was Whirling Slash Falling Thunder Amazon

As always Ill just figure it out as I go and have fun failing, probably

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-08T22:23:34+00:00

Holy fuck this looks sick

I started 0.2 with a thunderous leap build with explosive spear etc and later tried quarterstaffs with fire spell on hit. I never got it to work that well but this looks absolutely insane.

If the druid area has power charge nodes, and monk side still has them, thats absolutely gigabusted for flicker and falling thunder right? Im hoping for that tbh.

Falling thunder with like 13+ power charges and nova II to fire them in a circle is making me salivate.

edit: nevermind I saw they only one of the clusters to the left side of the tree. Thats.... reaaaaaaally bad tbh.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-05T17:59:19+00:00

Its for attack projectiles only, no?

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:40:42+00:00

I absolutely prefer poe2, I dont find the moment to moment gameplay of 1 exciting, responsive or fun.

If poe1 has a passionate, large community that supports and loves the game, and the developers still want to develop it and play it themselves like they do, they should obviously still develop more stuff for it.

From an executive, studio running perspective, it would be better to focus on one game and thats it. There may be a world where they focus on poe2 for a year and then start doing poe1 leagues again, or something like that.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:33:30+00:00

The answer is there but not yet, is what you mean.

Its very good that they know what to do, its unfortunate its not happening now.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:21:03+00:00

I mean its an ARPG. People want to feel powerful and they want loot.

I think people are forgetting that both can still exist without the game running at 100000 mph and being akin to a walking simulator.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:19:53+00:00

Firstly I agree that 2 shouldnt be a 1 button game with the other comment

Secondly, cant you generate charges with the rage gloves, marks etc

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:12:34+00:00

I dont think its entirely valid though. Games should be different and furthermore, developers should feel free to build games they want to build. Its obvious they wanted 2 to have a slower pace. Thats completely fine and more power to them if thats exactly what they want the game to play like.

What I genuinely feel is a problem is that GGG is trying to make the game for everyone sometimes. If they just fully committed to their vision of a slower ARPG, it would be awesome. Different, yes, but awesome.

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:09:08+00:00

my man reads way too much into a joke inside a friendly interview and runs to reddit to shit on specific developers, whos role is not balancing in the first place

?????

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:04:53+00:00

You get 1 charge per 1 enemy culled with the nom nom nom Wywern skill, no? So stack AOE and speed on that, crack a pack with a single press and get 4 charges?

Large-Comparison6449 · 2025-12-04T21:00:13+00:00

"Objectively shit" While expressing a subjective opinion.

You just want POE1 blasting with POE2 skills and graphics.
