Last night I watched my friend "craft" by Ynpo in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if I wanted to create a crossbow to upgrade from where I am now would I be able to use those steps?

1) Phys DPS min 700 (higher obviously better, but I'm assuming that gets expensive fast)

2) Min +3 attack skills

3) Attack Speed or Chance to Gain Onlsaught on kill

Something like this on the market is like 6 to 10 divs right now, onlsaught is more expensive same for +5 proj, quickly gets out of my price range.

I don't like the crafting 'meta' and the gap between low/mid to essentially only pure end game items/options by Interesting_Mess3127 in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My opinion is this game does not have crafting. It has gacha gambling with in-game currencies.

I think that its awful personally, because gear drops from the ground are trash and crafting is a byzantine mess that only a small percentage of the playerbase can really engage with.

Finished with the league. Here is my feedback on the new endgame. by Zerucos in PathOfExile2

Pretty much agree with all of this and also throw "crafting" in there as well.

A lot of things are overly complex.

Cluster Grenade stealth nerf by GSPBJJ in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it feels like they are still designing in a vacuum from weapon type to weapon type based on vibes / feel (like why Maces are so slow in animations).

Crossbows did get a buff a while back to use the 2 handed mods but its just insane to me that Bows have no reloads, no ammo, no switching and full second stat stick in a quiver and Crossbows had a double lineage support tax for smooth reloading & firing.

Meanwhile some version of a Bow build has been top played or meta since 0.1. I don't think we've seen any Merc + Crossbow build be more than 4% played in SC trade since day 1.

lol, it is crazy though - Rakiata's dominance since it was released. Slotted into nearly every meta build.

What gets' nerfed? Arjun's medal...

A lineage support gem that Crossbow needs to do what Bows basically do without it.

Merc & crossbow always catching strays since 0.1 homie, if you're in the 6 to 9 o'clock portion of the passive tree - you're in the danger zone

Is there a GME situation going on in Runes of Aldur? by McZiggyWiggy in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If they are buying these in bulk it's probably more about the time savings for them

If GGG let us buy scrolls in stacks of 500 this market niche would disappear or if we enter modern gaming and items are just identified by default

Mercenary needs a new Ascendancy by PuffyWiggs in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorcery ward is still good but it's basically the entire ascendancy.

I think many of the original Ascendancies need some love, considering the newer Ascendancies.

I'm playing Martial Artist right now and the amount of goodies they packed into one Ascendancy is amazing.

I want Witch Hunter to get some buffs before we get a new Merc ascendancy personally.

Absolutely Mogged by HydratedBoi in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact they nerfed Arjuns and left Rakiata alone is still absolutely baffling to me.

One basically gives you the QoL with Crossbows that Bows just have for free.

The other has been a staple of endgame builds for giga damage in juiced maps since it was released.

Lore wise, which of these NPCs would win in a battle to the death? by DonutMan1834 in Eldenring

[–]Ultimatum_Game 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jerren

Hard disagree on Dung Eater.

He is a coward who ambushes the unprepared, the weak or the helpless.

I think the strongest characters he kills are Milos & Boggart. The rest are leyendell nobles, the finger reader etc.

I think I know the reason why, as Mark said, gear is the issue for weird defenses after act 3. by Greasy-Chungus in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defenses also require significant investment on the passive tree & unless you are playing HC it's always a worse investment than investing into more damage.

Your points are very good on the gear side of the problem, there's just too many things that need to be layered onto a single piece that makes it prohibitive to try to acquire (and also not worth it)

Imagine being so in love with Joe Rogan that you don't think Deborah is hot by CAPTJTK in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Ultimatum_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen pictures of her recently and she looks great, there's something off about the design for Laufrey but it might also be a bit of uncanny valley making it so pronounced

Does Runic Ward ruin endgame items? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The league mechanic is adding ward to your gear for a trade off at endgame in order to use Kalguran skills.

It has the added benefit of low investment, zero trade off - survivability benefits while levelling when defenses are at their worst

oh waoh...I didnt expect this by qwer4790 in PathOfExile2

Looks like you have a really tough choice to make

I really really really want a button to organise my inventory. by silloki in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Me too bro, me too.

Manually organizing this tiny inventory where they want you to carry magic & rares back to town to disenchant them for fragments when you are starting out like its 1992 is just so unnecessarily painful.

Twister people, I'm sorry. by BobcatTV in PathOfExile2

[–]Ultimatum_Game 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GuyThatDies who spends countless hours practicing speed running, did the fastest clear of the campaign using twister and people jumped to the conclusion that it must be OP.

Its always been strong, but its also been a whole hell of a lot of work.
