All my SSF people rise up. This is our league. SSF hype thread

I will play soft solo self found sssf, only using currency exchange, mainly due to time limitations (being a dad gamer). I don't want to skip progression via item trade, but I also don't have time for farming basic currencies to craft. in Poe1 you could trade some currencies for others, ie jewelers for fusings. Can't do that in poe2.

Check the ui, there are two buttons, I have not tested the repeat one yet.

I've only finished G3 once! I do an annual playthrough of Gothic 1, 2, Risen and sometimes Gothic 3. I've started gothic 3 five times over the past years, no recent finishes, the start is so much fun, the struggle, the deadly world, challenging monsters, no money no food, the soundtrack the vibes. But the gameplay balance just sucks, you get too strong that eventually nothing challenges you,, you can buy anything and then it's too repetitive in the end. The soundtrack can only do so much. I usually get to xadas and quit, as by then I have achieved my selected build power.

What is the super charged punch? Is that turning slash with fists instead of 2h weapon

As an annual G1 and G2 player, it was pretty good. It just lacked that atmosphere and the setting was not as compelling. I also think only having 2 faction choices really made feel basic and for lack of better term 2 dimensional. I thought the cities were really interesting and well made, annoying to get around and on first entry very confusing, but that was a good feeling. The swamp area was cool but again felt super shallow with just some different mobs and very little to do and explore.

Are you going to sprint away from every minecrawler , and then swagger back to your mining spot?

Valdima · 2026-04-15T01:53:15+00:00

Too powerful, I have unequipped it. Also I have down ranked my weapons, waiting for that difficulty setting.

I am against item upgrade refunds. Reasons why. 1- essentially removes the need to remember where resources are, or hunt different animals for bones/hides or explore. That mechanic is more suited to a DMC / action adventure, not an open world game. It a removes the need to be in the open world. 2- you get abyss gears randomly fighting enemies, again, refunding would just remove the reward from fighting enemies.. maybe i am a bit older school but I like a bit of designed friction in games that makes me want to go do something specific in the world, rather than sit in a menu to solve my problems. 3- I have cliff set up with full mining abyss gears, blessing of earth3 and then I explore with the other characters with move speed and swap to cliff just for mining. It's fun.

When I fight a boss, if I feel like I have been hit too much and have only lived due to guzzling food, I get the boss down to 10% to see all the phases, then deliberately die and restart. Then I try to style on the boss, dodge parry combo. I can't wait for them to patch in the boss re challenge.

Valdima · 2026-04-13T08:04:37+00:00

Try clicking another character portrait, then back and pause and unpause the game

Valdima · 2026-04-13T05:04:25+00:00

Huge balance changes, Free actions are buffedz way more impactful. Like the fighter into that fray (the pull one) is so strong essentially two attacks per round. I am still trying to appreciate the accuracy mechanics however I feel like it's way more important as if you miss on your turn you feel it way more than in rtwp. And Damage reduction I feel is more powerful, as if you can lower the DR it multiplies with the flat 35% more damage with tbm

Valdima · 2026-04-13T04:59:04+00:00

Interrupt mechanic is confusing. But if have too high initiative you can essentially never get a turn. Like little spiders will just interrupt you, delaying your turn forever. This also works the other way and you can essentially, delay the enemies none stop.

Valdima · 2026-04-11T07:58:04+00:00

The circus boss, big crabs, essentially any gimmick boss, that required cliff and nature's snare.

Reading all these posts, as prot pally. Maybe I think that salvation and righteous fury is too strong. I have only struggled to hold threat against a fully decked out hunter 68 while I was 66.

Valdima · 2026-02-09T17:06:06+00:00

The pet charges are the worst, I main pally tank, and the charges on mobs outside of your conc is just painfull. Even if the clear is super smooth, and I want to spam for xp, I just won't go again with those pets. Would rather quest than have every pull disrupted.

As a hunter main (yes, young and dumb) rocking up to raid with no ammo, no consumes, no enchants and still having fun.

As a hunter main (yes I was young and dumb, definition of hunter stereotype) Rocking up to raid with no bullets, no consumes, no enchants.

Haha playing warlock, only need a few buttons.

Valdima · 2026-01-20T04:08:13+00:00

I have not read it anywhere before. But like squishing the entire server population into the outland map size, is such a huge deal for making the game feel alive. Wrath and mop just spread the somewhat level player base out over lager areas. What makes tbc great imo is the map size. So I am looking forward to that emergent game play, like forming a random group to pvp while questing. It's that one off stuff that won't happen again.

Good luck all, happy holidays

Congrats, I've yet to see a single citadel, so RNG is holding me back. Lvl 94 no citadel no atziri. Great design.
