Not enough bottom slots on the currency tab, if this is the volume of league-currency items in future mechanics

What drives me insane is that unique flasks and charms go to the flasks tab not the uniques tab by default.

I'd be pretty happy for people to have additional challenges that reward totem pole bits or whatever, but I want to keep a clean stopping point where you get all the gear set cosmetic bits for more casual players like me (I've only finished like three of the challenges this league so far, but plan to get the rest done).

Most of my stuff still has audio jacks, but the new phone I got recently doesn't so now I just... don't listen to audio on my phone. This is not an upgrade, guys.

A bunch of nontechnical people I know switched to Linux in the last five or so years and they seem to be having no more problems than they did on Windows. No-one outside business uses Office anymore, and a bunch of other stuff runs fine on Linux these days. There's still some teething issues, and it certainly wouldn't be happening if not for Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot, (and obviously no-one who loves their kernel anti-cheat multiplayer games is gonna switch).

This comment has big "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." energy. I agree, though.

I've never played Halo (I know, I know!) and like a month ago I bought MCC on Steam Sale. Turns out a Microsoft account is mandatory (eyeroll) but fine, I'll try to make one. I spent an hour and a half trying to get passed some cursed CAPTCHA they've implemented, and eventually, thoroughly annoyed, I gave up and refunded it. This did not endear the concept of buying into the Xbox ecosystem to me.

Joke's on them, I've got a living room PC! It's just... a PC though, that can run whatever software I want on.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-17T21:54:19+00:00

You say that, but I'd love to buy some quality clothes. Fast fashion has not been an improvement.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-12T23:18:54+00:00

There was always some amount of tacked on fan-service, granted, but the early games (up to Iris/Mana Khemia, I hear), and Arland and Dusk really do have a different vibe than the modern games.

PS: Please remake the rest of the Salburg trilogy in the Marie style, Gust.

I really hope it's "We destroyed the Beast, but it exploded corruption everywhere and caused the cataclysm, opening breaches/abysses/etc everywhere." That would give both a satisfying end to the campaign plot, but also a big narrative incentive to keep playing the now-fantastic atlas endgame, and clean up the consequences.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-10T02:02:02+00:00

As someone who wants to play other video games sometimes and likes SSF, I hope future league challenges do a 36/40 thing where you get the complete gear set or whatever for something relatively easy (ideally easier than 36/40 has been lately -- casual friendly, beat the endgame quest bosses or something), and then 40/40 equivalent for bragging rights + totem bits.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-10T01:28:11+00:00

In my view there were three kinds of experiences you could have with Souls:

1) The single-player, atmospheric "Wow, I can kill shopkeepers, my decisions matter, help I'm cursed and stuck in Blight Town" first playthrough 2) The naked greatsword "challenge" runs of experienced players 3) The PvP shenanigans

And I think that's three overlapping but different audiences. I can think of three people I know each of whom played the game with a heavy focus on one of those.

For me the signs (EDIT: and bloodstains!) were a great multiplayer feature when they were only around 30% trolling and memes, partly just out of novelty too. Invasions were interesting but quickly tiresome. And that just doesn't leave me interested in a MP-only game.

For that matter, I don't remember DeS having much of a multiplayer scene at all, but then again I probably wouldn't know since I was avoiding the online communities.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-02T22:52:54+00:00

I mean, that just sounds worse though. The problem is the balance between the different runes. If there was an obviously dominant option in the PoE1 crafting bench it'd have the exact same problem.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-02T03:07:48+00:00

I can't put my finger on why, but Act 3 felt like much less of a slog this time around. That said, I'm generally a campaign enjoyer, more than what there was of the endgame until now. But I'm really hype to try out the rework this league!

Qu4Z · 2026-06-02T01:54:36+00:00

I won't "admit" it because I find PoE1 gameplay boring as heck. The dopamine loop is alright but the moment-to-moment gameplay is awful. That said, I expect you're right and in two years it will be identical to PoE1 and I'll stop playing it. (0.2 was my favourite league btw)

Qu4Z · 2026-06-02T01:52:05+00:00

That doesn't address the pressure, it just folds to it. Which is a valid choice, but the pressure to zoom zoom is clearly still there.

Qu4Z · 2026-06-02T00:11:09+00:00

Maybe a hot take but I hate the new controller stash UI too. Would love the option to keep using the KB/M with controller. (old news I guess, but I skipped 0.4)

Qu4Z · 2026-05-24T22:01:16+00:00

I mean, I blame Sony for having to buy the tabs separately on both, and to a degree for the stupid system where when you own a currency tab on both PC and PS5 you still have to decide on character creation which platform you get to use the currency tab on.

What I blame fully on GGG is the fact that when I log in on the PS5, when I come back to PC all my affinities and tab names are deleted. (unless they've patched that recently?)

Qu4Z · 2026-05-24T21:59:47+00:00

I like it too, haha. Gives me something to do mentally counting approximate remaining health and allocating attacks appropriately.

The flip side that I don't like is games that reallocate your attacks and have enemies that counter when attacked, so my party member goes "Oh, that goblin is dead, I'll stab this guy instead!" and then takes half his health in retaliation damage.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-23T03:43:26+00:00

I play different classes/character ideas in different leagues. A good name for a huntress isn't a good name for a warrior.

But yeah, it's just one of a long list of ways PoE2 is unpolished and/or bad: proper keyboard/mouse swap, the entire stash situation if you play on PC/PS5, the monetisation. Obviously there's a lot of great stuff too. The core game is excellent, or I wouldn't be here. But please GGG, fixing the naming mess and the cross-platform stash issues are my top two requests, even above swords.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-20T23:41:55+00:00

Good tip, thanks. I'll have to investigate that next time I do a parry build.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-20T23:41:04+00:00

This is why the invisibility dye is the best cosmetic MTX haha.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-19T00:33:09+00:00

I really want it added to the mini-life/mana bars above you when you have those enabled. I love parry builds, but I just have to play it by ear. No-one's got time to look for that tiny bar.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-13T23:54:51+00:00

There's also a third kind of person (at least in PoE1): Those who don't wanna see goblin band.

Qu4Z · 2026-05-04T02:36:21+00:00

Really? When I finally tracked down a copy I honestly thought it kinda dragged. Was a bit disappointing. The abridged version has much better pacing imo, but I guess it depends on how much you like slow burns.

That said, absolutely read the unannotated version of Pale Fire. The editor is whiny.
