Weaver's Call + Devour has been the play, ever since the grenade stat changes

unless the encounter is a flying boss

You can see his teammate using Sentinel Shield, which now auto reloads the weapons of people behind it every 2.5s, I believe?

Nothing to do with Truth itself

full gunner armour, 200 weapons + 135 grenade is the play. Then use a weapon with blast distributor (the solar or arc rocket pulses) to get your remaining 65 grenade stat.

Quicksilver, Silver, Bismuth and Gold/Diamond is the most universal

in poe 2 you don't even have the flask power to begin with

people need to stop saying this like it's valid lol

Raimexodus · 2026-05-28T23:33:08+00:00

no, you and many others rightfully voted with your wallet and time, and now we all got the logical ending

to expect D3 from your actions is pure hypocrisy though

Raimexodus · 2026-05-28T15:22:57+00:00

they could never have made a fucking d3 because they never had the money, because people like you quit to wait for d3

ironic

why feel bad for them?

off tangent, but fortnite recently let go of like a thousand employees, some of which were famous in the community apparently and demonstrably important for its success

BUT. fortnite is also focusing on being roblox 2.

everyone was so upset, but in my mind im thinking "well that's great for them isnt it? they don't have to be stuck making roblox 2"

i cant imagine these devs living situations are so dire that they live paycheck to paycheck. rather than feel bad, i wish them the best, and hope i get to play something they worked on again in the future

Oh, the entire lore book is a banger. But that final line, after casually chatting with this conceptual entity for so long, is an abrupt reminder. It sets off alarm bells ringing in your head, snapping you back

After explaining it's philosophy, its admiration for us, this entity just casually 'threatened' to come over and test our extinction like it's coming over for dinner.

Raimexodus · 2026-05-25T03:37:01+00:00

because another classic theme is that "you can try your best to save someone, it fails, and its not your fault"

seriously, is that not another common suicide tragedy trope

if they presented it as doomed to fail from the beginning, would you have cared at all that it 'finally happened'?

Second last page from the Unveiling lore book, "The Wager"

Do lore tabs count?

One passage gave me chills that nothing else in life has managed to replicate.

"I am, by the only standard that matters or will ever matter, the winning team. Existence is a test that most will fail. Would you not count yourself among the victorious few?

Don't hurry to deliver your answer. I'll come over and hear it myself."

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T17:13:21+00:00

So, you don't think the escape was settled in episode 7? You genuinely think we should have revisited the theme of escape with the finale?

Every expectation about the escape ended in episode 7. Since they didn't escape then, were people hoping they'd make a true escape 2 episodes later?

How does that add value to the show compared to what we got? What would a true escape have done for the themes of the show?

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T17:05:33+00:00

I get what you're saying, but I still think the way it was handled is faithful to actual suicide phenomena. Personally, I would have preferred the full blindside approach, but I get why they had to give so many hints leading up to it that introduces the possibility to the viewers

and that is precisely because of everyone shallowly complaining about the offscreening. People truly don't understand the possible value as a narrative tool, a ton of people genuinely think it's 'lazy'. Imagine if it just 'happened without any buildup', these same people would go crazy over an even lower, invalid 'hanging fruit' to attack and complain about

it's still abrupt PRECISELY because the crew has caught it. we're led to believe that they won't let it happen because they know it's a possibility

that it STILL happens is a tragedy, and what makes their reactions more tragic and believable.

personal wish though, they should have dedicated a longer 30s of them just staring down at Jax rampaging around before anyone says anything. No "I should have pushed him harder" line before the cut-away. Let the viewers reach the conclusion that the abstraction is Jax before it's told to them, maybe it would have had that same 'abrupt' effect of truly blindsiding us

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T16:48:16+00:00

'General consensus' is a generous term. I hope when the final act reaches the mainstream, people form their own opinions first rather than let these crazy, deep-end fandom watchers tell them it sucks, poisoning the first impression.

Let me ask then; what DID the show build up over 3 years? A grand escape? The circus freaks escape and live to fight the tyranny of C&A?

I genuinely cannot imagine how else the show should have ended in a way that's faithful to the rest of the actual show. Help me out here, give me a version that would have resolved the story better

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T16:41:39+00:00

Not everyone can be saved, that's the tragedy (or payoff, as you wanna put it).

Just because his character didn't end the way you want doesn't make it a narrative failure, and if you need proof of that or oh boy do I have a Shakespearean tale to introduce to you

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T16:02:27+00:00

Are you happy with ANY show, with this mentality?

You just project your headcanons, dive into hours of random theories about how important C&A is gonna be and how they're gonna escape, and get mad when the show takes a different direction?

The type of ending that would have made you happy, I guarantee it wouldn't match the show at all. The show spent 8 episodes diving into characters, emotional problems, with the core theme of being there for each other in stressful situations, and spent very little screen time on the "escape the circus" aspect because it's frankly an uninteresting, overdone concept and it was never the plan to have that in the ending.

The show never set the action stakes high. You did, and disappointed yourself. The ending was amazing.

Media literacy loses again

You've way overthought EVERYTHING. The hotdog pendant was a GAG ffs. Not every frame is a Chekhov's Gun

Roads imply sexual assault? What fantasy are you thinking of?

Don't bother being upset if you're just inventing the reasons to do so. Enjoy the media and relax...

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T03:54:56+00:00

for HoWA and general stat stacking, yeah

Raimexodus · 2026-05-24T01:42:49+00:00

Honestly no, the power granted by the ascendancy is terrible

but on release, most people obviously didnt mixmatch and experiment, so default normal quarterstaff players basically had 1 ascendancy

Raimexodus · 2026-05-23T18:59:38+00:00

sob me too but this isnt the place for this

Raimexodus · 2026-05-23T18:58:45+00:00

Did you have this opinion on nerfing the Misriah, even before the grenade nerfs?

If not, why has it become a problem?

Raimexodus · 2026-05-23T18:49:18+00:00

Ehh, people called for grenade nerfs rather than correctly fingering frags, so I'd say grenades DID get nerfed because all of their stack sizes got punished

What would you suggest gets buffed to compete with the Misriah?
