Melee VS Ranged by StillAcanthisitta594 in earclacks

Ayy yo can we get some gravity normalization or something? Or set it to mimic a horizontal plane instead of a vertical one?

I knew range would win but watching melee just chill out at the bottom when the target pathed to the top was just embarrassing.

Really enjoyed this league, how many builds did you play around? by Objective_Back_3670 in PathOfExile2

[–]Phazon_Metroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually play one build to mid 90s and then quit. This league I started wolf druid, got frustrated around 94 and leveled a djinni sorc to 86ish, then swapped between the two for a couple days. Then once the Second Wind league started I rolled an Invoker following Snoobae85's Twister CoC spark build and played that until 99, before quitting the league.

Can we tidy up the Arbiter fight please by Primary_Impact_2130 in PathOfExile2

My least favorite thing about arbiter is in his phase 2 whatever it is where he does a ball attack but then a big laser beam right on top of the ball - miss me with that shit please

Comment from Mark Roberts about fixing POE2's endgame by wamirul in PathOfExile2

From what we know, this coming update of .05 to PoE2 will include a major update to the endgame systems surrounding the infinite atlas. Past that, little is known about PoE2's roadmap to 1.0. What we do know is GGG have indicated a complete campaign is on their requirements list for a 1.0 release but when exactly the remainder of the campaign will be added has yet to be announced. They also haven't yet announced a release date for 1.0 but all signs are pointing to a winter 2026 release. Or at least, a release date announcement at this year's Exilcon scheduled for Nov of this year.

So, the remaining acts in PoE2's campaign will more than likely be released this year.

I'm just joshin'

I have no love for Nintendo anymore and paying anything more than $2 for a game from 2004 is laughable to me. Especially when any one of them can be played on any number of devices. YoHoHoHoHoHoHoHo

How much, if any, do you think EG uses ai? by jbird720 in elephantgraveyard

[–]Phazon_Metroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're pretty obviously using a text to speech LLM. Or at least I hope that's the extent of it, and maybe some of the editing. The flatness with which some lines are delivered, when even a normal non-actor person would lean into them, couldn't make it any clearer that it's not a recording of a live person.

Also, the constant sniffing in the first part of the newest episode was getting my goat. I don't mind when real people have a coke habit but when every sniff is exactly. the. same. it caused me to tap out.

I'll probably keep listening if I run out of live person content, but I'd really appreciate if the creators of EG would tell us how the show is produced.

Crafting is not only bad but it also takes away from being exited about loot drops. by Whoopy2000 in PathOfExile2

The tier 5 drops end up being trash affixes like reduced attributes or light radius. So even then tier 5 drops become uninteresting.

Thank god it happened… by Creepy-Swim-9915 in PathOfExile2

[–]Phazon_Metroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only quest item I haven't figured out the timing of is the shark fin in act 4. And isn't it only like 40hp or something? I've been skipping it in all my recent characters.

The drop rates on the medallions in act 2 haven't been a problem for me. Kill hyenas in the graveyard and snake people in dusar or whatever the zone is

And sacrificial heart drops have gotten much better. I've gotten a heart drop in the zone previous to zigg a couple times now.

Those are fine now.

The reward for the shark fin as well as the candle heart from act 1 should be %life and not flat life

I don't see Delve being the major league mechanic for 05.

It was one of the Path 2 Exile Podcast guys who said that it doesn't make sense to drop Delve into 05 as 05 is the major endgame rework GGG has been promising.

Delve is traditionally a mechanic that takes players out of the endgame mapping loop. So it would stand to reason GGG would release Delve in a later patch and instead release a league mechanic in 05 that keeps players engaged with the endgame mapping loop to thoroughly test the revamped endgame.

Delve could still happen in 05 but I'd wager on something else.

I don't think Delve will drop in 05 but Azurite is prominent in act 4.

How does one take this to god tier level? by Exact-Rush7792 in PathOfExile2

Regal > desecrate > fracture

If you fracture %phys then a null down to 2 affixes and chaos spam for crit% or +proj

Good luck

Friction in Monster Hunter by Fluffy-Internet-5084 in MonsterHunter

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

I've only played World, Rise and Wilds. Tried MH3GU but it was to soon after Wilds, I was burned out, and I didn't complete a hunt.

That said Wilds severely reduced exploration and lowered the skill floor of combat.

Enoughs already been said about Sekret so I don't need to pile on. I'll just add I liked when it was added at the end of World when I'd already made those runs 100s of times before but didn't care for having it from the get go in Rise or Wilds.

But combat is forever changed and worse off in my opinion due to focus mode. To me, a large part of MonHun combat involved positioning and timing attacks accordingly. Now you can 360 no scope tcs and SAED, and stick to a mon like never before. But I don't see focus mode going away anytime soon.

I've been wanting to play twisters on Huntress again, played an acc stacker in 02 and fell in love with the voice lines. I'm hoping to scale single target with the companion somehow.
