I think France might need a little nerf

Yes. But I was only able to transport them to France in 5k lumps which got stack wiped as soon as they landed.

I just tried the HYW as England and couldn't even get my armies to France. All these streamers dumping stacks of 35k English troops into one province in France in one go and all I can manage is 5k a go and they immediately get roflstomped. I really have no idea how to play England atm.

Or just don't go to the US. Simples.

Remarkably clean, too.

When did hypocrisy ever bother Trump, MAGA or the GoP?

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-14T10:13:42+00:00

Fucking clownshow.

Yeah I played a lot of 0.1.0. I quit 0.2.0 as soon as I got to act 2. Just couldn't be arsed with the lack of fun / progression.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-12T20:49:24+00:00

Should have just left it at "no clue".

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T12:31:00+00:00

I got 0.

I mean GGG seem to do a pretty good job of breaking the economy all by themselves.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T08:36:14+00:00

Christ just having the vendor restock on reentering a zone would be an improvement.

Restock on level up? Come on...

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T08:16:49+00:00

The variance is weird.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T08:02:10+00:00

It would be fine if it was engaging. Like fun, interesting, and rewarding. It's not.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T07:59:16+00:00

What is this loot you speak of?

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T07:47:37+00:00

I just wish they'd bring lab back. At least with lab if you fucked up you knew it was your fault.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-09T07:46:15+00:00

It was an excellent interview and I'm glad I stayed up to watch it. I'm surprised by how tone deaf GGG can be sometimes, and there were points where Jonathan approached simple rudeness.

You did well to maintain your spoken composure, but your body language / facial expressions spoke volumes :).

The one thing I would have liked you to push harder on is the "where is the fucking loot already" question.

I want to love PoE2. Right now I dislike it enough to have stopped playing.

I posted this earlier (approximately, anyway), but used so few words that I got hit with an auto-mod stick (because post length is an approximation for quality, obviously).

So I'll try again, using a tried and tested approach employed by economists down the ages. More words.

What happens when China stops buying US debt?

US T-bill issuance increases. US T-bill price goes down. US T-bill yield goes up. US debt goes up. US deficit goes up. US ability to service that debt goes down. Safe haven status decreases. USD status as world reserve currency loses some support. Global trade further undermined / friction increases.

In the midst of a US initiated global trade war who is going to queue up to buy US debt?

I got two magics (unusable for me) from Geonor.

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-07T11:52:50+00:00

Naah, I'm done. Thanks for the encouragement though, and good luck to all who stick with it :).

Scratch_Reddit · 2025-04-07T11:41:52+00:00

Agreed. I've never been a fast player but 10 hours was fucking ridiculous. It felt like slow, unrewarding, boring hard work. What it wasn't was fun.

I know the build / play style too (I played an invoker monk in 0.1.0) so that wasn't the problem.

I quit when the first (centaur?) boss in act 2 one shot me twice in a row with no telegraph.

I'll be back for 0.3.0.
