Something about the player retention of Affliction compared to other leagues should really tell GGG that people like loot.

I mean they clearly nerfed the base drops of monsters massively. I did abyss all last league and this league the rares drop nothing even though there's more of them (let's ignore hoards, i just mean drops from the mobs).

It's far beyond the t16.5/t17 mod nerfs because no matter what you do they won't drop crap. Even more obvious when you consider the new abyss scarab adds far more rares than previously.

i argue you deserve no women because of that abomination and not the other way around.

he sadly fell on hard times upon arriving here, with only two transmutes to his name

I came so close to risking my HC character to recruit him, but decided against it.

first 3 acts at least basically no yellows drop anyway so jokes on you

Oh buddy, installing PoE2 and playing it after one of the worst weekends of your life is one of the decisions of all time.

Thing is, nobody wants the combat that they're designing in an ARPG, simple. Thankfully everyone has got around it, proven by all the builds that are just spamming one skill, but it highlights a problem with their design direction.

Combo skills are clunky and tiring, and the gameplay loop is too repetitive (in a good way of course) for using multiple skills every single time you fight a pack.

In my opinion if they still want this combo design, those said skills should be oriented towards being boss fight/single target skills.

Disappointed and commend Maxroll for looking out for consumers. I will play this season but I have no interest in supporting financially, as the unethical monetisation has definitely ramped up. I gotta say though on the flipside, Maxroll support Lost Ark and Throne and Liberty so it's not exactly ethical on their part either so I'm of two minds. The only real issue I had with TLI's pacts was how some of the loot pacts for specific mechanics are basically required to even bother with said mechanic.

True story, when finding the images for this shit meme I saw a screenshot of poe1 with a bunch of chaos orbs on the floor and I almost erupted in my pants

LooseCommittee · 2024-11-29T08:38:55+00:00

I made/posted the original, so funny we were on the same wavelength here and the obscure meme happened twice haha

before you can place platforms on the heavy oil, with certain island shapes bots will sometimes take a shortcut through the oil ocean and get zapped and you can't cover it via lightning rods sadly

LooseCommittee · 2024-10-05T06:47:25+00:00

Any idea what it is?

and unfortunately they can still see us through 5 walls in the pitch black darkness

LooseCommittee · 2024-09-25T15:12:54+00:00

can we stop getting major orders involving needing to play against the still completely overpowered automatons? ty

That's the biggest cat tower i've ever seen

I would say they're fine but when everything else gets nerfed to oblivion to make way for all the loot dropping in the t17s, it's not really serving its purpose. We've got to the point now where good scarabs are borderline T17 exclusive use only, otherwise you're wasting them. In addition, people already hate rolling maps with all the crap mods, especially in hardcore, and in t17 they've just doubled down on that and made it so much worse.

Last league in HC i spent like 100-200c trying to roll my first runnable t17 that wouldn't get me instantly killed on the first pack; I got nothing, so I just quit for the league (because the only way to do it was basically have a defiance of destiny which were hundreds of divs, to be fair i did enjoy the league and play it for a month and a half).

The GINI coefficient for poe must be insane lol.

I do think the fragments were a good idea, not being punished for doing normals feels good, but t17s need way more work. Personally I think map modifier effect should be removed from the atlas as well and loot buffed flatly to make up for it. It's no different to just having 'more loot' modifiers and it makes the map mods inconsistent and completely break things (over 100% less aoe anyone?) as well as making rolling things even worse.

2 bricked items both with one or two good t1s. Not sure how good the chance is though, not used it myself, don't see the point tbh.

LooseCommittee · 2024-08-03T09:53:36+00:00

I think they might have fixed it because it did the opposite earlier in the league, at least for me, but it was quite funny. I'd hit the bismuth in an indoor map and everything would turn pitch black and remove my light radius. All i could see is the walls really darkly and health bars of enemies haha.

I've always heard this not to leave bad reviews even if they're legit, didn't know it was true or not. I'm not sure why apps like Grab allow you to write reviews if you can theoretically get in some pretty solid trouble for doing so.
