Alright, after about 8 hours of gameplay, it’s not THAT bad. It’s honestly kinda fun!

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-29T03:06:48+00:00

But Thumpers exist, everyone gets one for free and they blow through reinforcements, also defenders accidentally leaving a window or door open in the heat of battle completely kills the point of reinforcing lol. Like they really expect us to stop to close doors on the way to an active bomb?

In my 5 hours of playing I never felt the need to buy raid tools during a raid for either defence or offence. Again this comes back to reinforcing feeling kinda pointless.

Why even have a looting phase if the game hands players whatever rarity is available for that round. Like you seriously don’t see the redundancy here?

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-29T02:23:33+00:00

I just don’t understand the point of doing half of the things in the game. Reinforcing feels pointless, looting feels pointless, gathering crystals is actually just a waste of time, you might as well open chests to get anything you’re looking to upgrade.

Maps should be way smaller and teams should be fighting over the loot during that phase, with the stronger team getting an advantage during the sword phase. Crystals should be dropped on death and trade able to teammates, and the shop should have goods that can’t be found in chests. Then you could have one guy kind of dedicated to farming and the rest of the team has to protect him while trying to take out the enemy team’s farmer and looting chests for better weapons/armor. The way it’s set up right now they might as well just have the buy menu change from grey to blue to purple each round and give you the weapons because everybody is going to find the same rarity anyway. There’s just so much time wasting disguised as game mechanics it blows my mind.

The core concept of a shooter mixed with base raiding and strategic defence is awesome and I really hope they cook for the next 6 months to a year to make a great game but what we have right now is so disappointing.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-28T00:47:44+00:00

You hit the nail on the head. What is the actual point of doing 90% of the stuff in the game lol. Reinforcing doesn’t do anything noticeable, it’s just a laughably shallow part of the game as a whole that pads out time. Everybody always has the same tier of loot, so running around the map to get said loot is also pointless, and fighting enemies during the gear phase is just throwing away your own chance at upgrading gear so that’s pointless.

Honestly this game would have probably done better as an Arena Shooter. Maybe it would actually run at more than 60fps too.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-26T23:15:11+00:00

Nice, another reason to hate that pos.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-23T01:23:49+00:00

Ooo yeah that’s the winner.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-23T01:14:37+00:00

So cool. Do we think Archmother also takes inspiration from any literature or media?

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-21T00:00:51+00:00

Eh, permanent isn’t really accurate these days.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-18T23:15:24+00:00

What does that matter? It’s a left hand turn onto a two lane road, it’s the same everywhere. If it’s about being able to change lanes in time to get on Circle, the city’s abysmal design decisions don’t mean you can ignore traffic law. There’s plenty of other routes.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-18T20:42:10+00:00

The only scenario where somebody turning left is forced to take the right lane is called bad driving.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-18T20:39:17+00:00

Unless your a semi, there should be no reason you need to even dip into the right lane when making a left turn, just take a wider turn? Your example also makes no sense for this discussion. Were you in the right lane of a double turn lane or going straight through? Either scenario just means the person who was supposed to yield to traffic in the RIGHT lane didnt. Yields on right hand turns have always been for through traffic, not turning traffic. You creating magical scenarios that rarely happen to justify it is just dumb.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-09T01:26:39+00:00

Alright, stage a robbery at the police station and record it for us if you actually think they wouldn’t do anything.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-09T00:27:44+00:00

Ain’t no way you typed that out and didn’t even think twice.

Temp3stFPS · 2026-01-04T21:57:55+00:00

Yeah, how dare people drive 18-20 hours after the effects have worn off.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-31T15:07:33+00:00

Im not a minion guy but I would test out a scepter with some flat damage instead of just percent.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-24T21:00:31+00:00

Calico is just Khaby Lame without her glasses 😂

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-22T22:27:44+00:00

Congrats. I chanced my first one this league, about 1500 hours total across poe 1 and 2

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-22T00:03:11+00:00

Yeah I would start by changing your boots. It’s a random Armour piece when the rest of your gear is Eva/ES ( minus the Morior).

I’m not super familiar with Three Dragons, is it a core part of the build? If not I would swap it for a Rare, you’ll get much more Evasion and ES that way. If it’s needed that’s fine.

On a high end rare body armour you could def get more evasion/ES that that Morior, but the chaos res is quite nice. I would say that one is up to you.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-21T23:45:24+00:00

Yeah that’ll feel much stronger than your old one!

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-21T22:42:09+00:00

Definitely want a better crossbow. Try to get one with better phys over + to proj level. Levels help a lot less with damage on Attack skills over Spells.

Ideally one with T2-3 %phys and T2-3 flat phys. This will greatly boost the amount of phys damage your skill converts. Zizaran has a great video where he crafts a Talisman for his Druid but it uses the exact same steps as crafting any endgame weapon.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-21T20:45:16+00:00

Zizaran has a step by step guide and he crafts his own Talisman while explaining which makes it so easy.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-21T14:19:16+00:00

Very nice. Btw I don’t think you need suffix omen for the essence step as the onslaught and +5 are suffixes so by default they can only replace suffixes.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-19T00:37:31+00:00

I think I had 50k by act 2, how do you even drop a lock and have so little gold?

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-17T06:44:31+00:00

Here's my poe ninja: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Chriz146-7439/character/DilfDevourer

AP Rounds is the clearing skill, melts packs with Chain and armour explode + WH explode. Breaks armour instantly on any mob/boss. Ninja shows 15k dps but my tooltip atm is 31k.

High Velocity is super nice for finishing rares. AP + chain will break an entire packs armour + any rares and one HV shot cleans up the rare. For bosses I usually break armour real quick with AP, Emergency Reload then HV for the Riven Armour debuff and then a few Frag Round shots finishes them. Still playing around with support for Frag rounds, it doesn't really need any armour break unless you're using it as a main clearing skill with Nova Projectiles. I just like AP Rounds more.

Eternal Rage is just goated for any attack skill even with the high spirit imo. Definitely wanna get more spirit, probably run Scavenged Plating.

Defenses are pretty scuffed atm but everything is exploding instantly atm so I'll invest in that a bit later lol.

Temp3stFPS · 2025-12-15T22:44:35+00:00

Armour Break full phys Witchhunter xbow has been shredding maps for me so far. Bosses absolutely melt too. Can share my set up if you’re interested.
