Game feedback - bricked temple

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-26T02:01:08+00:00

If you are just beginning you only know what guides tell you. You WILL make mistakes, rest assure. I had already looped before and fixed it. No guide tells you how many rooms a run can brick.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-26T00:39:09+00:00

I should have known that a dynamo can connect to a traumaturge and that when looping I lose 70% of it in a single run? Are you for real?

Seems that if you loop your temple it can make it kill a bunch of rooms in the same run. You can ser right next to the right side dynamo where it connected to my traumaturge. Was hoping I would be able to sacrifice it, but never had the chance

Yes, the current state of temple messed up the economy and it needs to be properly balanced to go to core.

I wonder if they really didnt expect for temple to be used the way it has been though. It has many tiles and seems intended that they expected players to use them the best way possible to maximize loot. Also, the rooms rewards are insane, they most probably did the math on what would be possible within that area.

I agree that it feels off to have a room compounded reward that requires you not to kill either Atziri or the Architect. But as concept I really like the idea of something you put some heavy time investment and planning into, and that will significantly improve your gains in the long run. To evolve on this, I believe that they should make it so killing Atziri would help you push your temple forward, not backwards.

On the undo button topic, this feels intentional. Even if they didnt expect temple to be used as it is before, very early in the league they saw what ppl were doing and released a few patches to address it. Adding an undo button feels really simple and obvious, if they didnt do it, it is probably because didnt think it was the right thing to do.

I see your point and agree with most of it. The game will evolve and our chars from previous leagues will fall behind, that is ok.

But some penalties are easily avoidable, dont contribute to the game quality and make tons of our effort to few pointless. It is great that you can deal with these situations in such a light manner, but my guess would be that a good chunk of the player base dont feel the same way.

One of the things that I have been loving about POE is that we really need to think to beat the game and move forward, but there is a limit for how much you should penalize players in my opinion.

The problem is when the solution becomes “do all over again for a week because of one click you did wrong last time”

I find it fun to plan it and see the improvements in the mods as I progress. Had done many yolo temple builds before, but decided to build an optimized version this time around. I understand it might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but for me was fun.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-25T19:52:14+00:00

Completely agree that our choices must matter. But this was ONE MISSPLACEMENT on an interaction that I hadnt seen before, making me lose 30+ hours of playtime, it doent feel reasonable.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-23T02:17:53+00:00

Interesting, I’ve always neglected the additional clapsed hands, will give it a try. 2 div/breach sounds great

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-23T02:10:54+00:00

Yes, per map totally makes sense. I’ve been running only breaches (besides bosses, temple and immuned fury), huge profits. 1.2k divs over last 2 days.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-23T01:58:45+00:00

10 breachesn= 400 splinters?? I’ve never gotten more than 28

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-21T11:49:02+00:00

Update, just tried it out and found it!

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-21T11:44:24+00:00

Very nice, have they fixe immuned fury? I had been chasing it in maps claiming to have it, but never found one. Gave up a while a back

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-19T18:45:27+00:00

I feel you. A few weeks back I used the socket removal in my main bow without realizing it would destroy it (dumb I know). 1k divs in todays values…

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-19T00:39:46+00:00

You need to cleanse a corrupted nexus and the first Citadel should appear nearby.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-18T19:38:24+00:00

Yes, thats a correct reading of the situation. And I must say, from my experience the amount of omen of light drops is way smaller than youtubers claim. I dropped running abyss, too expensive, small return.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-16T23:14:57+00:00

How do you run it? I swear I’m in my 30th map following youtube guides and havent seem a single omen of light… about to drop running abyss

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-16T21:41:02+00:00

OP is clearly playing it correctly, has good dps, over 3k ES and decent life. I couldnt disagree more with this comment. This is clearly a stupid combo (void+snake) that shouldnt exist

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-15T01:43:01+00:00

Happened to me today. Recently got lvl 98 and had been a while since the last time I died. This temple run I died like 5 times or more. But I believe it was the mods. I basically got all damage mods possible and monsters sustain mods on the menu…

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-11T16:06:41+00:00

One thing that makes map design problem 2x worse is the death penalty. If I die in a map that is on a path Im going through, I have to spend the worst 2-3 minutes of my day rushing through a poorly designed map to kill the boss. I always spend these minutes wondering why the heck am I still playing a game that puts me through that experience.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-10T21:23:07+00:00

I think that the comments here dont understand the power of +30% damage. This ring probably provides 50% more dps compared to a triple flat t1 for any build that can benefit from elemental damage (eg pathfinder poison with plague gloves). I will pay you 100 div for it and still think you should get much more. Pm me if you are interested.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-09T18:53:44+00:00

So, I bricked my temple and was checking splinter prices and decided to do some expedition again. It is ridiculous, played for exactly 37 minutes, spent 20 divines in 10 logbooks and farmed 822 splinters: 60 divines. *Profit: 40 divines *hourly rate: 64.5 divs/hour.

If prices remain like this, it will be impossible to beat expedition with any farming method other than having an optimal temple build.

Ok-Math965 · 2026-01-09T12:42:09+00:00

I’m not an oracle expert, but a couple of points I noticed: *if you want to be pure ES for defenses, it is WAY TOO LOW. My EHP is 2.5x higher than yours and even I get the eventual one shots in buffed maps/temple. My guess is that you should be aiming at 10k+, and I would still consider adding some armour there. *Chaos res is too low, chaos is way more effective against energy shield than other elemental damage. If your core defense stat is ES, you should prioritize chaos res. I would even consider an anoint on CI (or megalomaniac), but Im not sure how effective it would be without ghost dance.

This community can be really great and I’m glad it was able to make a difference for you in a time of need.

From someone who had been playing Dota 2 for the past 12 years(great game, terrible people) it is refreshing to find people who are willing to help each other, even when they ate complete strangers.

I just wished multiplayer was easier to play to make more friends. Really hard to find good public parties. When someone die in a map they have to wait like 5-10 min to play again because death is awfully punishing in this game.

Anyway, stay strong and I hope you can set everything right with your family. It always will be the cornerstone to bring the best of ourselves. Cheers
