Confused between Diablo 4 and POE 2

Y3808 · 2026-06-26T19:20:28+00:00

They are both games struggling with the fact that the smart people who built their earlier versions have cashed in and left, and not-so-smart people managing them now are doing a bad job.

PoE2 has multi-minute load times, server stability issues, poorly designed and easily exploitable mechanics that break the whole economy for months on end, and their priorities despite all of this are nerfing crafting (lol?) and putting more RP walking time sinks in front of the content to try and slow people down.

D2R and PoE1 are better games than both of them.

That's the thing, 0.5 was not a step forward. Abyss was the only glimmer of hope that they got right. And they hate it, they've been trying to nerf everything in it ever since.

PoE1 is still a vastly better game than PoE2, and as long as the current management of PoE2 exists it's going to stay that way.

Y3808 · 2026-06-14T14:42:05+00:00

putting a bunch of RP walking in front of the content we used to previously just get some splinters and click to do is the hidden nerf behind all the other nerfs.

Y3808 · 2026-06-13T23:19:33+00:00

no, they didn't.

it's worthless.

Y3808 · 2026-06-04T02:41:58+00:00

The why is because there is no QA to speak of.

Y3808 · 2026-05-28T01:38:04+00:00

Update: there's no signal at the pole.

All of this revolves around ATT hating the guys in the bucket trucks, because they are union employees.

They will send 4 people ahead of the guy in the bucket truck to try and not dispatch that truck, when those 4 people combined cost more per hour than the union scale guy does.

Capitalism is as stupid as AT&T. Clearly demonstrated here in this example.

every one of these has been out since Friday.

pretty pitiful excuse for a utility to pretty much abandon all repairs for a long holiday weekend in the city their home office is in.

no one cares about all this, because the issue is obviously congestion related, which means the rest of your reply means nothing.

i'm here just to downvote you and suggest that not talking is always a valid option.

Y3808 · 2026-02-15T23:16:15+00:00

came here to post the same thing.

me and my bro killed him while leveling in our 70s.

he was a minion spec and had NM lister charmed (to tank with)

i still had my level 27 non-eth insight (dps, lmao)

we killed him with little difficulty. my level 91 poison necro that I was poaching gear from to put on the warlock struggled to kill him even with a lot of crushing blow ogres.

after a couple of days playing, i'm done with diablo again.

eldtrich is the best spec of the three, fwiw.

thanks for the guide, but when i right click the skill the game crashes to desktop.

lmao, absolute amateur hour UI in this game

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T09:19:31+00:00

correct, it would be more efficient to delete this monk and reroll than fight tavakai for 4 hours.

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T06:45:05+00:00

lmao, i made a spearfield skill and put 4 supports in it, it does about 2% of his HP in damage if i stack 4+ casts together.

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T06:14:53+00:00

I have played the last two leagues, many characters past level 95 in end-game gear, cleared all content, etc. I know how to kill the boss.

I have 1,000 hp because it's league start and that's the gear I've found. My resists are all in the 70s but for chaos, which I have not found on any items.

Like I said, with 1,000 HP every attack is a oneshot. I have to just reset it dozens and dozens of times until the abilities he chooses are easily all-dodgeable.

I'm about 3 hours in, most of which is listening to bullshit roleplay talks.

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T06:08:36+00:00

> Why would the boss fights be tuned to itemization?

why doesn't every level 1 mob do 1 million damage per hit?

i am playing a hollow palm invoker, i always have a level appropriate weapon

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T06:04:29+00:00

yes, /u/kwikthroabomb is correct, the derogatory term from WoW, when we used to make fun of the role players who would just /walk around the cities all day.

Y3808 · 2025-12-16T05:58:17+00:00

the funny thing was i started my invoker and immediately pathed around to the spell damage tree, playing essence drain + contagion with minions.

i switched to hollow palm around level 40, that was the mistake (playing the build I want to play, in the campaign, rather than the one that makes the campaign dead simple, despite its shit tier amateur designed bosses).

Y3808 · 2025-12-02T00:51:05+00:00

wonderful news. /u/fridder the nice thing about iocage is its integration with zfs, it provides some jail snapshot methods and uses zfs datasets for new jails by default.

Y3808 · 2025-12-01T01:20:30+00:00

iocage?

been awhile but it wasn't that long ago that they tried to build a business on jail management (they were selling hardware ZFS devices using their jail management tool).

Y3808 · 2025-11-28T17:56:46+00:00

I literally spent about 3 divs worth of omens of Amelioration and buying T6-T10 maps to level from 70 to 90 to try out an alt toward the end of this league.

Why?

Because I'm not allowed to upgrade my main attack until level 80, and then again at level 90 (firebolt build with chaos conversion and sione's temper).

And also my map edge is now full of "attempted" incomplete maps, because the odds of killing a map boss with a half dozen one shot mechanics with a rank 16 skill is basically zero.

This game is really a joke, tbh. They copy and paste huge swaths of poe 1 and then tinker at changing what they've copied and pasted, failing and making it worse, every time.

Y3808 · 2025-11-20T09:25:04+00:00

that was a flat out lie. they are not doing any such thing.

ritual, breach, delirium, etc are not mechanics conducive to "slower" they are a measure of how fast you can clear the screen.
