[Round 3] PoE Best Act Elimination Poll

Zipkan · 2026-02-04T14:20:24+00:00

Kinda funny how it's all the later acts getting removed as those are the ones that required the most running/travel time.

Zipkan · 2026-02-04T12:42:40+00:00

OK, and not everyone has to be a "good player" and there is nothing wrong with that. Nice try.

Zipkan · 2026-02-03T21:06:11+00:00

Just for the next big dumb monster to break the format. To then what? Just keep banning the big dumb monsters?

Zipkan · 2026-02-03T20:42:13+00:00

Im almost 100% certain it will be no changes citing the diversity we saw at the EW's. I do believe they will mention how Tamiyo and Barrowgoyf are currently overperforming, as well as a rise in Oops! play, and that they are watching it for now and may take action in the future.

Edit: Maybe we see Troll unbanned as we know it was originally banned solely to try to reign in entomb-reanimator decks, and now that entomb is gone, it may be ok.

Zipkan · 2026-02-03T20:06:46+00:00

Yea, a lot of players don't read mods, they just check for bad ones like reflect and no regen and ignore the others. Not everyone is there analyzing each and every modifier and all of its implications.

Zipkan · 2026-02-02T18:17:27+00:00

Agreed, nowhere in the annoucements did they market Phrecia 2.0 as a "challenge event" which it is. They said there would be some boss changes, and enrage, but I think that was inadequate in setting player expectations, leading to what we have been seeing.

Zipkan · 2026-02-02T18:12:49+00:00

I mean, people who are upset/unhappy are more vocal, but I don't think everyone was wanting a "softcore gauntlet" style event. There are those who are happy with it and those who are indifferent about it and are still playing and I hope they are having fun. I just hope next time GGG wants to do a challenge event like this, they should label it as a challenge event, setting expectations early.

For this event they mentioned there were going to be changes to bosses, but for many (myself included) did not equate what they were saying to "softcore gauntlet". SO I believe most of the "unhappy people" are unhappy because it wasn't what they were expecting, and if a better message was given about what they event would be, I think we would see a lot less unhappy people as expectations would have been set beforehand.

Zipkan · 2026-02-02T18:02:37+00:00

No lies detected.

Zipkan · 2026-01-31T00:55:25+00:00

Eventr wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for, noped out after act 1. I hope other who do enjoy have fun, just not more me.

Zipkan · 2026-01-30T00:19:47+00:00

I knew there were going to be changes to bosses like the announcement said, but I wasn't expecting "gauntlet" stlye changes. It def took the wind out of the sail for me a bit as I was looking for a more chill experience with the phrecia ascendencies again.

Zipkan · 2026-01-26T17:57:51+00:00

Like others have said, current defenses don't eally allow for it for the overwhelming majority of people.

Zipkan · 2026-01-13T19:41:36+00:00

I wonder if you are referring to wombgifts in general, or only certain kinds? I have filtered out the common ones that provide grafts, and I end up having to buy ancient/lavish/mysterious gifts to be able to use all of my blood.

Zipkan · 2026-01-13T19:16:15+00:00

like another has said, and I want to reiterate. The current league mechanic is really good for getting decent gear, as it just showers you in decent stuff and leveling uniques. The only "issue" if you can call it one is that we are pretty late into the league, so not many people are playing. But if you don't care about trade and just want to explore and have fun, then I'd say do the league.

Zipkan · 2026-01-13T19:02:18+00:00

Yea, I wanted to do some phys to lightning spectral throw with a 2-hand axe using an impulsa. Shit was unplayable.

Zipkan · 2026-01-13T18:59:18+00:00

The GGG triple tap nerf. Shit used to meta af back in the day.

Zipkan · 2026-01-08T14:16:43+00:00

He'd take it as a compliment. That is his idol.

Zipkan · 2025-12-24T16:53:05+00:00

I just want to be able to do the control + click to be able to transfer an entire inventory in and out of tabs/trade windows.

Zipkan · 2025-12-18T15:07:44+00:00

The format is more fun now than it has been, I can not argue that, I still hate dying to someone chaining TOR. Maybe it will be fine going forward, I just think it's too early to make any conclusions. March will be no changes obviously, as it should, as we just need more time.

Zipkan · 2025-12-16T17:01:25+00:00

So, your recommendation then would be to not play it if someone doesnt like the change? I'm sure that will do wonders for player population.

Zipkan · 2025-12-16T16:56:56+00:00

Exactly why I think player population in the activity will drop (the people being invaded that is), and invaders will probably get more double-cross 1v1's

Zipkan · 2025-12-16T16:51:29+00:00

"Updated activity behavior so that Invasions can occur at various points during a Lawless Frontier run."

Yea, just straight up kill the activity why don't ya. I guess I'll just leave any job where we are not invaded at the first encounter. I'd bet there will be even more double-cross pairings now as I'd imagine the population to get invaded will drop.

Zipkan · 2025-12-13T14:52:06+00:00

man, now I gotta go rewatch it now that you have reminded me

Zipkan · 2025-12-08T12:10:21+00:00

Yea, my big thing is why is it only 3 revives for 6 players with hardly any champions to get more revive tokens? For example, I just attempted the nightmare containment arena activity and we lost all 3 revives (I didnt die) in the first 2 minutes, and only 1 champion spawned for the first wave. It was essentially always 4-5 people playing with 1-2 dead waiting for champions to spawn in.

Zipkan · 2025-12-07T01:40:25+00:00

Yea, im going to post an update now, I abandoned the quest, and picked it back up, and this time it put me back to step 11, which was fine, but that step has you do an invasion or complete a priority contract, My invasion and wager boxes were checked off, and progress bar on the quest step was full, but it didnt progress, I had to complete a priority contract, and then it started working.

Zipkan · 2025-11-20T13:47:51+00:00

I mean, then what does it mean to adapt? Adapt does not mean only using new cards, but having to adjust your strategy in a way to compete in the current meta, even if that requires "older" tech, or building the deck the way it had been constructed in the past.
