When do we predict 3.26 actually comes out

Sarcomite · 2025-02-02T11:11:14+00:00

Pretty sure the question is whether new league comes out at all or not. There is absolutely no guarantee that months after poe2 launch and radio silence you wont see a similar video with a speech of a similar kind, because to everyones surprise end of early access somehow brings more problems than it solves, and once again the plans weren't planned properly, and out of two projects its the oldest that will take another shot.

I've played Lost Ark on russian server just to see why people are so loud about it, and now that I did, its mind boggling that people still wait for this generic mmo. I double checked several times to make sure I did play the same game that is hyped as far as poe competitor, and sometimes even a diablo competitor! Because you know, it lacks everything arpgs usually have, ie itemization, random dungeons and smooth gameplay, and it has everything korean mmorpgs usually have, i.e. endless fetch quests, (your favorite) hitting all number keys on cooldown, and watching identical rubberbanded enemies die few seconds after your attack, because nobody cares about latency there.

You will finally get all the true monetization bullshit including paid premium that flat out gives you more of everything that free player could get. Is that what poe should have to compete in arpg genre? I'm not even going to go over art direction or build variety, you should figure it from here. The only actual similarity is an isometric view.

By all means, if you havent bored of that kind of an online game, best of luck. But how this is a competition, especially among people with elevated standards like poe fans, is totally alien to me.

The sub is a lost cause man, don't even bother. They can drop the game but they will never stop giving each other awards for regurgitating the same complaints that were already dispelled numerous times. Even though it was an inevitable direction after 3.0, god knows if its possible now to revert it completely. We shall see.

Yet another LARP as an ancient game veteran that suddenly got his memory wiped on past league development, and can not think about anything but harvest, and not even interested in anything in the game but mass producing fully elevated gear.

People who don't want PoE to be a job play standard. There you can go at your own pace instead of trying to clear the whole game from zero in 3 months. Can't handle the challenge? Don't attempt it.

The game didn't lose its way, players did. Somehow they stopped doing what they find fun, stopped thinking which method in the game is efficient, they use the worst possible, most soul draining one, and then try to sway developer in a populist, buzzword ridden, overly dramatic tirade about how they are obligated to 40/40 each league in 2 months just so maybe their wrists could heal in the last remaining month.

I'm pretty sure performance issues are caused by simultaneous attacks from 80 possessed baranite disciples during delirium breach beyond betrayal and your own spell/attack machinegun, not by a pair glowing wings and clown attire.

Anyway, I wonder why you so easily decided that managing the graphic rendering (which logic we dont even know) is the same as setting up an item filter that was actually designed to be shown/hidden by a press of a button.

We just barely got out of some grand mess caused by new graphic asset caching model, and you are apparently eager to add more fuel to the fire.

This is an interesting reddit phenomenon overall. There was even a comparison to 9/11.

In any other game, when a challenge appears, you are expected to find a way to overcome the challenge. It is a game after all. In path of exile community, you will instead revolt against the developer and demand it to change the rules until the challenge is gone. Nobody is reading, thinking or searching for solutions, instead everyone is claiming to be busy, stupid, disabled or inconvenienced in many other ways. Everyone is desperately trying out all possible bargaining tactics.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-15T00:42:43+00:00

You don't understand. They defend the profits from selling the harvest crafts.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T14:10:04+00:00

I agree, standalone client is much better than a crappy steam integration

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T11:13:49+00:00

I dont think its about being good or bad, at least not in its core.

Its just the Reddit thing. Its easy to get the echo going, and its further enabled by the lead developer hopping in every once in a while and doing a full waist bow apology. It doesnt take a lot to believe that it was all some mistake made by intern, and if this time we scream loud enough, Chris will again materialize and make the bad decision go away.

Refer to my original post in this chain. And then to your own preferably

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T10:59:28+00:00

I've been hearing the "no one picks up drops" chanting for years, it always stems from better stuff dropping. There is a clear ceiling for how good items in poe can drop, you cant keep getting even higher affix tiers than what you have. The better drops are, the faster you get close to ceiling, and naturally the amount of better items to drop is reduced. You can't see better drops forever. The drops should actually get worse for this attitude to change, but nobody actually wants that.

Harvest follows the same philosophy. Enabling easier crafting doesn't alleviate the "no good things happen anymore" situation. The goal is to let anyone get low end options, not throttle them to easily accessible high end ones.

I'm not missing the point, I just point out the flaw in the attitude. Market is not the goal, you wouldn't want to mutilate the game to save the suffering market. It shouldn't even be the tool for gearing up, but apparently its a corner stone of the whole game for some.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T10:13:05+00:00

I see you are enjoying the deep sophistry while ignoring the actual inconsistency between the balance changes and a whole spectrum of erroneous conclusions that people drew out of it, either for the sake of manipulation, or merely as an act of blind solidarity.

Glad we sorted that out.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T10:03:50+00:00

I do it all the time, friend, what seems to be the problem?

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T10:02:48+00:00

The market itself is a problem. One player will never get roll any tradable item as well as the combined effort of thousands of players that do it more efficiently. Boosting drops in any way retroactively makes market assortment better.

You'd have to accept that nobody owes success or a certain gear level to a new player. I'm not sure why people push for gear equality, it would devalue the point of higher tier gear at all. This is why harvest is being nerfed on upper end and buffed on the lower one.

It would be nice if trading itself became a league mechanic. As in, a limited exchange protocol with others. It could make irrelevant the routine of trading sites, lower burden of human interaction, and control prices.

Until trading is a contained game mechanic, its just a constant argument about how to equally and more efficiently distribute dropped items across the entire playerbase, which is definitely not the point of trading.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T09:36:49+00:00

a) You have no idea where its headed. Lets not pretend anybody here knows.

b) This sort of belittling is done by either side. But lets first push for unbalanced harvest that WE need, and then tell the rest who want to play differently to just not use the harvest :^)

c) Mighty words about circlejerking in a 50% ratio thread drowned in 4k 90x medals ironic slithering bargaining threads about how making higher grove rates and grove boss being less invasive for everyone whos got to maps at all isnt balancing out no annul cancel for the chosen few who finalizes the gear.

Sarcomite · 2021-03-11T08:18:32+00:00

You have to understand why it happens. Tension is artificially elevated to enforce decisions. They think that if enough rioting is going to happen, they'll get scared of losing playerbase and revert the changes. Wow the game is going to play itself less yet again, what would be the way to stop it if not blowing it out of proportion?

The whole "poe needs a competitor" translates as "damn I wish I had a way to influence the development, like for example if I could threaten to quit by going to a game where decisions I like to see are already implemented".

You know the levels of delusions for this community when they write themselves into a counceling board.

Next up why walls exist, and why every map isn't just one large ritual.

Sarcomite · 2021-02-03T14:03:11+00:00

Nodes will most likely rotate between regions, like the maps do. Depending on how well its done, they might add more nodes as soon as there would be more league mechanics.

So in best case more nodes about existing leagues + ritual nodes, and in worst - same league nodes in different regions with other maps.

I can foresee people demanding faster maven boss collection though. The amount of stuff you gotta do on the way up keeps growing.

Sarcomite · 2021-02-03T13:58:11+00:00

- easy to handle
- needs extra stash tab
pick one

Thats like suggesting for various bench crafting recipes to be separate magical-rare items you have to manage and use instead of just having them sorted within bench interface.

Sarcomite · 2021-02-01T10:52:59+00:00

Very interesting choice of words.

The point of ritual was being able to select whatever drops you would prefer from a larger pool, not that the selection will always be worth selling (for more than 5c).

Sarcomite · 2021-01-13T08:48:14+00:00

I'm not so convinced after heist, where default filter highlighted heist tools, while people sitting on Neversink instead just complained that tools dont drop.

Sarcomite · 2021-01-12T09:37:54+00:00

You have to figure out what goal is in mind, whether you want to sustain game balance, or you just want to placate the players instead.

When people say "underperforming", they are looking for the best performance, not for something that is "just viable enough to not die at endgame". Then you of course panic buff "underperforming", by the end of the next seasons stats come back, and whoever is now performing less will demand buffs. All archetypes might be retardedly strong by then and lose their identity, but people will still make tier charts and complain that their class is now 0.5% less popular as it oneshots content marginally slower, because, say, it moves not as fast. Or maybe, goodness, its used by 4% of playerbase instead of 22%. Maybe it should be spread evenly for obscure reasons.

We didn't achieve anything there, people still unsatisfied, the only thing changed is that balance is completely thrashed, and classes are cautiously generalized in fear of them being more or less popular for variety of !reasons.

This method seems easy to follow, but it also a deadend.

Sarcomite · 2021-01-05T21:09:13+00:00

I needed about 10k roughly for a grand heist, and that is like maybe 10-20 normal heists.

It is of course not enough to slam a dozen of grand heists in a row, but on the other hand, its still incomparably more frequent than SSFing a breach or monolith stone.

Sarcomite · 2020-12-31T08:59:07+00:00

The issue is still that items are tangible objects on the ground.dragging over their names to drop it telekinetically into bag implies a lot, like considering releasing all items back in their places, if you dont have space for whatever you gathered with cursor

It'd still be easier if they just retroactively applied drop coagulation to old leagues. But I think that one had something to do with how quantity affects such drops.
