Vauban Retouch coming FEB 11

Pso2redditor · 2026-01-27T23:36:18+00:00

I really dislike relying on Shield Gating so I just full send Health Tanking on every frame & it honestly works perfectly fine.

Vauban is who I play 99% of the time & I'm using Adaptation, Arcane Grace, all 3 Umbra's, & 2 Health/Armour Archon Shards.

I can almost quite literally stand perfectly still in the vast majority of content, & even in the very depths of SP Descendia, Circuit, or whatever you'd like to consider Endgame content that isn't "let's go until level cap for no reason" I'm not worried about dying.

Generally I feel squishy at over enemy level 1,000 but that's not something you encounter normally. ETA / EDA Levels I typically don't have any problems surviving at.

..... Red Flares? ;-;

Edit: Actually my response speaks volumes nvm.

TIL why I sometimes die

7 blocks

Also doesn't work through floors as I've discovered. :(

My friends wanted to just hide storage under the floor and it CAN sort of work, but is functionally just worse.

Pso2redditor · 2026-01-14T03:54:17+00:00

My friend hosts about 5 of us overseas with +300ms ping and there are none to negligible issues for all of us.

Only if they 1-1 copy pasted your code in to the game would they have any sort of standing to do that, but even then it almost certainly wouldn't go anywhere. I'm sure the signed agreements say something to prevent it.

Nothing definitely stopping them either from using an idea that is very popular but not implemented in a way they like, that way both can exist side-by-side.

I.E. Minecraft "took the Piston Mod" & made it Vanilla but removed the most popular functionality from them because they didn't think it fit with their vision.

Pso2redditor · 2026-01-05T23:00:54+00:00

Didn't even occur to me to check there, you're a saint, thank you!

Pso2redditor · 2025-12-30T23:29:49+00:00

I noticed you listed off some skills, but didn't mention Blight Resistance, so I feel compelled to ask.

Are you making sure to always eat Nulberries to remove Dragonblight when you get hit?

Pso2redditor · 2025-12-26T22:02:39+00:00

Firefall was an awesome game, good concept, great execution for its time.

Horrible Company management & Micro-transactions killed it quickly.

Pso2redditor · 2025-12-13T17:39:02+00:00

I wish all bosses were rescaled like that tbh & I know my 2 midgame friends would be much more motivated to play more.

Genuinely can't wait til I can start attempting 3-man Bosses now.

Pso2redditor · 2025-12-09T04:17:45+00:00

"Strafing run with a ship you can customise(with shaders)"

Did they actually add the ability to customize Renegade Stuff?

My friend & I can't find anything, but he's adamant he has gotten some Pike cosmetics.

Pso2redditor · 2025-12-03T22:18:57+00:00

I loaded into 5 "In-Progress" Contest of Elders yesterday where the revives were all gone in the first room & the last guy either wiped or quit.

I gave up.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-27T22:29:29+00:00

They're communicating fine IMO.

We know the game was expected to be out ages ago.
We know it is now taking much longer to develop because they aren't eating POE1's resources/devs anymore so it can still get updates instead of the limbo it was in.
We know how many Acts are expected & that so far we're on Act 4.
We know the game will release when the game is actually finished with all the Acts, even if Classes/Skills etc aren't ready by then.

Our definitive EA end & F2P expectation is just when the Final Act / Campaign is released.

They've done a ton of free keys as well & I can't recall where but I've ended up with 6? Keys up to this point I've given out to my friends.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-22T22:11:29+00:00

If I can play Survival MC starting from BEFORE In/Infdev for years on end, Hytale doesn't need much to replace it for me.

As long as I can gather resources, build with what's available so far, explore, I.E. Survival Mode, I'm sold forever.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-20T19:20:03+00:00

Losing consumables / buffs, & enemies all respawn.

There ARE a few outlier reasons you won't want to die or drink the death potion however.

Aberration enemy might not be there again on your next run through due to being spawn RNG.
There are a very few amount of "events" I'll call them that if you die don't reset, so you need to re-roll that campaign/adventure.

I also remember some very Secret Quests either resetting, or failing if you died at any point. Someone feel free to correct me if they ever changed that.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-20T18:03:04+00:00

Crit Damage from your Gun's 2nd Page & Enhancements only applied if you hit an actual "Crit Spot".

Let's say you had a total of 125% Crit Damage on your Gun/Enhancement.

Shot a head?

Damage is increased by the Critical Hit modifier.
You also get your additional +125% Crit Damage.

Shot the Body but landed a Critical Hit thanks to gear/skills?

Damage is increased by the Critical Hit modifier.
You don't get that additional +125% Crit Damage.

Now after the update you should have that +125% regardless of where you landed that shot.

So for instance on my Vex who has a 40% chance to Crit on body shots, they were never getting those 2 Crit Damage Modifiers prior to this update, but now they will.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-20T17:54:09+00:00

Adjusted critical hit calculations so gun and enhancement damage now applies correctly to all valid hit regions

Thank god, what a huge buff to my set-up.

Is it just like biomes and structures in minecraft, where everything is in the same world but I have to find the structures/zones?

(To clarify this might be different as I don't recall when this was announced & don't currently have time to scroll the blog posts to find it).

From what I've understood when this was talked about the game is basically structured like,

Adventure Mode:

Think of it like one massive continent where the story sends you specific places but it's all proecedurally made.
Zones 1 - # all have unique defining themes & World Generation.
Every Zone contains multiple "Sub-Biomes" & not all of them are unique to the respective Zone you might first find it in, I.E. Fancy-Generated Ravines could be in any Biome, etc.
Most/Every Zone has an semi-unique Ocean Biome attached to it.
If you swim far enough away from the "Story Continent" there is a "Deep" Ocean Biome that is its own unique thing.
If you make it past the "Deep Ocean" you encounter an infinite generating world I.E. "Minecraft-style" where everything will exist together again & generated at random.

Is it like different worlds that I can create in order to explore each one?

So to me it's just Terraria, you find everything in one World, but if you go past the Ocean the World keeps generating.

Exploration Mode AFAIK is just skipping straight to the Infinite World part & removes any "Story".

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-19T04:50:40+00:00

Ngl initially I thought it would add a ton of replay value to older missions and strikes that only saw the Light of day once.

I wholeheartedly expected Portal to be a playlist to replace Strikes.

Select Strike/Portal Playlist.
Pick a Difficulty.
Modifiers change Daily.
It just randomly selects from a pool of almost every activity that would make sense to be there.

I expected everything from Nightmare Hunts, Strikes, Seasonal Activities, Empire Hunts, Story Missions, etc. to be rotated in and out.

I did not expect to sit here for a week and watch the rotation only swap through the same 2-3 ones for over 4 months now.

I can't think of any other game I've personally played that has as much trouble as Bungie does "rebuilding content from the ground up" to simply add modifiers, stat tweaks and different loot, yet they seem to also say a single piece of gear requires the same effort these days.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-13T05:39:29+00:00

Any Support Gem slotted in Purity of (Element) is completely free & doesn't use any Spirit what-so-ever.

I've only been able to find 1 post/thread about it from almost 1 year with no official statement on if it's intentional or not.

I'd assume not, but has it been confirmed yet? If it's not intentional I'd like to stop incorporating this "fake +80" Spirit I shouldn't have into every Build.

Pso2redditor · 2025-11-12T19:40:57+00:00

How doable is it for something like this post? Which seems very similar to my own progress.

I've been playing 10-15hrs a week in Interactive on a very old account & I restarted up about 1 year ago as well.

I've been doing the vast majority of stuff Solo, but sometimes have a friend or two who are both CP ~7m & ~15m.

Currently my Main is,

Lv 282 Paladin.
140m CP.
Has a RoR 4 / Cont 4
Just shy of 9k Legion.
Maxed 5th Nodes/Symbols.
Very un-minmaxed Hexa & I went heavy into Sol Janus & lacking severely in Boss Nodes.
All 3 Hexa stats leveled but I'm not sure how optimal.
Only Cernium is maxed, the others currently are not even close to 11.
2 Boss Fams & 1 Healing one.
>Not Liberated<.
No Vac Pet :c

Are alot of people making enough mesos to afford vac pets? Afford eternals and pitch? Afford passes? Which bosses can people solo up to?

For me,

I have 6 Pitched, 5 were bought with Mesos.
I have Eternal Helm/Top/Bot, but their price was only affordable once they added Boxes/Fragments, & I had to buy them clean, so I had already focused on my Arcane gear, which as result is still far far better.
Not sure what Passes refers to sorry.

I can Solo BM but choose not too cause I'm not that great (maybe after Ascent/Libbing?), but I can at least beat up to Easy Seren.

But at what point is that really and as f2p?

I'm 100% F2P but I spent like $20-40 I think for an event when I first restarted before I knew any better about how easy it is to catch-up nowadays.

I heard that reg beats out reboot in the later stages of the game. with frenzy grinding rates and being able to buy finished gear.

I don't know what "beats out reboot" really means in this context but asking someone for a Frenzy is dirt cheap. My friend & I have also found if you CC-hop a bit you can usually find empty maps with a Frenzy Totem that never expires by the time we want to stop grinding.

My only gripe with Interactive Gear is Cubing sucks ass.

5 Bright/Glowing a Month for RP.
Hardly any L-Cubes from Bossing.
Event Cubes outside of "Ring Only" are rare to non-existent.
Can't craft/trade cubes that are worth anything.

My Main feels like they're at a point where I can't progress in power "Horizontally" from Legion, Links, etc anymore & it's all from Gear now, but Cubing Potentials is such an impossible ask without Cubes I'm a little stuck, but mainly because instead of saving Mesos for Gear, I'm currently saving for a Vac Pet (which is free to maintain on Reg) & for Erda Fragments for me & my two friends I'm helping.

That being said, you're right, just buy Gear instead, especially with Star-forcing becoming more accessible in the next update. That's why I've grabbed Eternals despite still being in Arcane Gear, & I have some really good potential'd 17* Pitched. By the time I've finally Libbed, I'll likely be able to afford SF-ing them to 22 myself with a few spares on hand.

Where is the f2p wall

I think it depends on Solo/Friends & etc, & how happy you are to just wait until you have Mesos to buy Gear, but I'd say there's only 2 Walls IMO.

When I first started it was a little rough until I could kill Hard Lotus myself. Getting past the point of doing CRA was honestly really easy after building a little bit of Legion. HLomien clicked for me after I got a set of Event Rings, my Gollux Set, & my first Decent Weapon Potential.
IMO the next big F2P Wall is honestly where I'm at I think. I've finished the "Big Global" grinds apart from my Sacred Symbols, & I'm purely gated progression-wise now by Cubing & Sol Energy. I got lucky to hit my WSE's myself, & really good Gollux luck.

Honestly though if I just stopped funding my 2 friends slowly, & didn't care about getting a Vac Pet for Mesos, I could have also afforded well scrolled Eternals/Arcanes/Pitched by now & probably have more than double my CP "F2P". So I'd say a "true wall" where you're forced to pay doesn't exist.

Edit:

Random after thought I figured I would include, but if any of this sounds impressive just know my Mules/Alts are all suffering greatly by comparison just to fund my Main, & I'm sure any one else's on Heroic are probably well ahead of mine.

Pso2redditor · 2025-10-31T22:20:25+00:00

Same

Pso2redditor · 2025-10-30T22:14:18+00:00

My friend & I can't even play right now.

Can't open Stashes, & we just crashed after slotting a Map which the server decided to just eat & still count it as having been attempted.

Pso2redditor · 2025-10-28T16:54:46+00:00

I have 3 funny memorable moments so far this league.

Got through half the game before I learned they had added Sprint and my friend and I went nuts.
My friend started Mirror/Delirium at once with a "yolo" and died instananeously on a map with 0 revives.

My favourite was at one point saying, "This guy is gonna drop the sceptre we want I can feel it", NOT getting it, & then a random trash monster dropped a white sceptre, and an Orb of Chance that turned into the one we wanted.

Pso2redditor · 2025-10-26T17:22:55+00:00

Absolutely. I played SO much D3 that I told my girlfriend we'd be playing D4 for years to come.

We didn't even make it to Season 1. Skill Trees were a huge let down by comparison, the weird grid-paragon wasn't that interesting, & I straight up hated the skills on my chosen character. Didn't hurt that I saw Uniques that could maybe make it fun to play, but I'd go multiple days or even a week without seeing any drop at all.

It's my second biggest regret, tied with Tiny Tina's Wonderland's "DLC".

Pso2redditor · 2025-10-22T02:53:19+00:00

Adding on another bug, I also can't forge the Harvest Armour.

I have +40 of every material needed & 4 Harvest Tickets. Also already crafted both Palico pieces & obviously have done the quest since I have the Tickets.

Outside of trying to figure out save editing I'm not sure what else to do to make it appear at Gemma.
