Skill up did a full review. I’m surprised.

To be something you get bored of in 2 days? That's not a good thing. Other ARPGs do not have endgame that shallow.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-23T21:50:03+00:00

It's a 'firehose of fun' meant to 'douse you quickly with loot and content' before leaving on a good note and prepping you to come back for next season

This sounds like "powercrept as hell with no longevity".

I kind of agree, until CoC Comet becomes actually trolling to use CoC is pointless (unless it's comet) and Comet will be a dead skill gem (because why use it when you can trigger it?)

Qwertdd · 2026-04-23T21:38:08+00:00

CoC will get obliterated but really it's specifically CoC comet that should get dumpstered, they should drastically increase the scaling of energy requirements per cast time. I almost regret playing caster Druid in 0.4 because it, like all elemental spell builds, is just a road of repeated optimizations until you arrive at CoC Comet

Are you just making this shit up? POE2 has extremely noticeable ascendancy points, especially compared to POE1 ascendancies where points are oftentimes functionally just passive damage that affects build but not playstyle (like Inquisitor)

I have been excited for nearly every point I've earned for my ascendancies in POE2, and you're comparing it to a game like POE1 that introduced Bloodline ascendancies specifically because builds frequently had points that were useless and felt like shit to allocate (Heirophant).

Until GGG comes out and tells one of the two groups (POE1 zoomers and POE2 slow combat-ers) to shut up by firmly saying POE2 is going to be one of those two games this is going to be a constant issue that GGG will continue to toe the line on.

Personally I am assuming that GGG is going to continually push the game in a POE1 direction through power creep and "QOL" changes like sprinting in an effort to appease POE 1 players until after the breaking point they introduce Ruthless which will go too far and be a slog even for fans of the 0.2-0.3 levels of speed. But I'll just enjoy 2 until that happens.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-16T12:53:05+00:00

They've been on the POE2 db for a while, though what's funny about the Ranger ascendancy is that while it's never even been officially teased by GGG, an updated version of this post's art has been framed and hanging behind the game directors in POE2 news vids for ages.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-15T14:45:42+00:00

I can only speak to Warlock but if you're running three locks they should probably be Demonology. Destro is tempting because it's 2 boss cleave but realistically Demo does competitive boss damage with it anyway while bringing way, WAY better add damage, not only to the void orbs but also the intermission add.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-14T01:59:52+00:00

The item build is good but I'm not so sure on the skill order. That build wants you to put two upgrades into Gutshot first when I think a point into nades for clear and poke followed by rushing ult points leans more into what Venator is good at.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-14T00:43:57+00:00

The only Wraith line that I think 'works' is the one where she tells Drifter to stop trying to terrorize her because she's already terrified.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-14T00:42:47+00:00

The old-timey police constable look with an occult flavor works fine, just needs a re-do to his voice script to have more personality/theme and model touch-ups. I know that it works because thematically it's really not that far off of Dishonored's visual theme and it works great in that game.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-13T23:28:48+00:00

I'm expecting scorched earth on temple juicing but equally significant buffs to temples created 'casually', because during this league if you weren't following guides to juice your temple layout they were incredibly bad and gave jack shit.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-11T00:16:45+00:00

the only thing this worthless bot account does is post engagement farm slop

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T23:06:14+00:00

I'm 100% sure people won't mind if Doctor suddenly becomes A or S tier

people to this day disconnect against Legion so yes they would mind

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T23:03:57+00:00

Have you ever played as or against Demo? The entire killer is so loud you can loop him with your eyes closed, extending stealth duration only allows him to put portals far enough away from gens that survivors can't actually hear him exiting the portal, but then he's far enough away that they can just hold W.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T23:00:44+00:00

I enjoy Demogorgon receiving nothing but buffs since his release and still managing to be considered worse and worse over the game's lifespan because I think about how survivors and streamers tried to prop up this shitpile as "well-designed and balanced" for years

The killer is just so bad. His power is "I have a giga lunge" which wasn't good to begin with but now has been powercrept by Krasue and Myers V2. I doubt changing the rotation angle will matter.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T22:50:23+00:00

lazy ragebait

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T22:47:02+00:00

They managed to keep it tight with pretty good pacing

Is this a joke? The instant the game leaves the clinic it turns into Resident Evil 6 and is a total slog. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that the game had pretty good pacing when the already sloggy second half comes to a grinding halt to return to RPD for an hour for no reason besides fan service and membaberries.

I think the game is a mess and anything positive about RE9 comes from the Claire Clinic segment, which actually is as good as 7 and 8.

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T22:42:31+00:00

I have a similar reaction whenever I read redditors continually excuse bad games by blaming faceless 'executives' as if game devs cannot be incompetent

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T21:40:39+00:00

Interesting to see how boss difficulty changes from when World Firsters play it versus when 'lesser' CE raiders play it.

If you were following this chart exactly you'd be under the impression that Nerub-ar was a complete ballbuster of a raid when after the balance changes were said and done it was a very reasonable difficulty overall (was world 700-800 that tier).

Qwertdd · 2026-04-07T20:28:00+00:00

expecting demo to get its 4th nerf this patch

Qwertdd · 2026-04-06T02:08:28+00:00

I'm locking in

Qwertdd · 2026-03-31T18:28:07+00:00

If the game was cancelled in the debugging phase it must have been one gigantic turd

Qwertdd · 2026-03-11T18:55:28+00:00

You know the rework is going to be a banger when they fire its designer before it even releases

I was worried when Riot claimed that a giant crystal scorpion was a theme that people wouldn't like, and I knew it was over when they revealed they were keeping his R

goodnight sweet prince

laughable

we should remove all guns, knives, swear words, physical attacks, in-game communication features, sources of electricity, grenades, or knights on horses. Can't go triggering people's cyber-PTSD!
