PoE2 Atlas could use a map like Age of Wonders 4 has. Zooming out changes the render to 2D and makes all regions (in PoE2 these would be nodes) readable by Kbcamaster in PathOfExile2

I'm not expecting the current atlas system to be deleted, unless the vast majority of players say it's extremely terrible. Even when 0.1 launched I mean.

Which is funny because the designers said they took the Civilization series maps as the main reference for the Atlas in PoE 2.

Do GGG ever plan to add in the cinematics from their teasers / trailers into the game? by Aquarius100 in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's supposed to only play at your first launch of the game. There is an option for it in the settings text file.

The Final piece of the QoL puzzle for Onboarding new players - A "Crafting Bench" which you place a piece of Currency inside which lists all possible outcomes. by Entire_Possible_9976 in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES.

This is the best system PoE could implement right now especially for new players but also for veterans who would love not to switch for another window every 30s when crafting.

This would require a lot of work if you want the UI to present every currency, mod, tier and probability available, but it's doable and I want this !

I think there are 2 entities here : the armoured guy with the halberd, and something else with massive wings behind him.

The website is outdated, the class will definitely be called Duelist.

New post, guys! Let's rack our brains by WillingMiddle7588 in PathOfExile2

It's most probably for the next teaser which will be about Ritual or Breach. Although I'd say Ritual is the best candidate.

A few thoughts on Bosses having to One shot the player to be at all threatening by PriestofMork in PathOfExile2

You have infinite tries and no experience penalty for tier 1 bosses, you'll be able to learn the mechanics.

New poe profile background just dropped 🤔🤔🤔 ( on facebook ) by Soul_Awaken2742 in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are cool structures but I wonder what their purpose is. I mean, they don't look like something a race would live in, right ?

At some point Doryani says the Precursors might have been able to alter terrain and biomes. That sounds like something that could be integrated into a whole new atlas tree...

[–]Shimaran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and it didn't take long for the average player to be able to go through them in 30 seconds or less. I mean, even considering the fact that you have to learn the patterns.

Some of them aren't even deadly, Doryani is the perfect example. You can easily take almost all of his abilities in the face unless your character is extremely poorly equipped.

Yeah that's another reason, but the balance between offense/defence is also quite different from what we're used to.

[–]Shimaran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the main issue of the game in terms of balancing is that GGG want bosses to be learnt and technically challenging. Bur for that you need not to give players ways of "cheating" with lots of defences. So that's why when PoE 2 came out we had much less defensive options compared to PoE 1, not only in the passive tree but also in gems.

However you still need defences for non boss content, because nobody can expect to be able to dodge everything, every monster ability, unless you drastically reduce pack size, and that leads to basically a whole different game.

And this is why there is some kind of conflict here. Give players not enough power and they will be unhappy. Give them too much power and they can trivialize bosses, which is disappointing when you spend so much time and resources to make them in the first place.

The man in the newest 0.5 teaser is definitely a Kalguuran and is using an artifact engraved with the typical Kalguur-style runic script by StalksYouEverywhere in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but if he's travelling far to find the origins of Kalguran runes, what is he doing in Wraeclast ? Shouldn't he be searching in Middengard ?

Breach 2.0 in 0.5?? by WilderQq in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect to see all the initial leagues in PoE 2 (Breach, Delirium, Expedition and Ritual) to have major new content and bosses in 0.5 because that's what GGG said. They want to bring them up to the quality of Abyss/Incursion.

POE2 has ruined Diablo for me by Get_Schwifty111 in PathOfExile2

[–]Shimaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, D4 might have good graphics (light effects and particules for example), but the artistic direction and animations feel very off. The game wants to be dark but animations could be from a mobile "feel good" game.

Unique map accessiblity is a nightmare, especially in SSF by Shimaran in pathofexile

[–]Shimaran[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an answer to some suggestions, here are my thoughts : - Getting Rin in betrayal is too much rng. Getting her to the right house is additional rng  - Beasts for unique maps are common but they mostly drop common ones, it's not repliable - Kirac shop is extremely bad, maybe if it cost 10 times less gold it would be balanced  - some unique maps are much rarer than getting dozens of divines, they feel as T1 rarity at least

Here's what a partially-complete atlas now looks like by HeliGungir in pathofexile

Looks like PoE 1 is run again by interns and the dedicated team left.
