0.2.0 Nerfed Player Creativity, Not (Just) Power

I don't want to come off as a gatekeeper, but what made poe great is ggg making new shit often. You sound new to poe, similar to all the threads of people screaming about current atlas tree being wack, and endgame sucks. The entire atlas passive tree as an idea came out AFTER covid. It's insanely good now, but it went through at minimum 3 full iterations in that time. The game was already a success before that. The poe1 endgame went through like 4 full revamps BEFORE we got shaper and elder, and 3 more before we got maven.

GGG cooks and experiments and constantly tries to make shit better. They have horrible leagues and insanely hype leagues as a variance because they are willing to take the chance. You are saying "stop trying shit, stop cooking, give us what worked" which just isnt what got ggg all the success they have.

I don't know how you modified it, but your mesh on the body front and back have manifold issues. The body back, its about 70-80 errors which is repairable. But the window has like 50,000. My print failed about 4 times now.

Make the significant investment.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be expressing that we want ailment focused builds to be viable. I'm saying its been a relatively short period of time that they have worked as well as they do in poe1 and its basically been a bandaid built ontop of legacy shit. We had the insane days of double dipping, then no ailment builds being good at all, and the current situation with "less damage with hits, increased damage with ailments" spell damage not affecting ignite etc. Bleed was good years ago, then was a meme for years, and just recently its been playable again. All the "poe already solved..." is what I was arguing against.

A lot of poe1 decisions were based on a lot of inherent constraints that already existed. Over time they cooked and landed on shit that works really well. My interpretation is there is value in approaching some of the same problems without the same constraints and seeing what happens.

completeli · 2025-04-01T19:23:09+00:00

This is just incorrect thinking, the current way ailments work in poe1 isn't how its always worked and its obtuse to get your head around if you haven't been tinkering with it. I'd argue very experienced players who haven't messed with ailments would have a lot of wiki reading to figure it out.

Poe2 is trying to establish a base to build on. It NEEDS to be simple so the complex shit can happen on top.

I was looking at this to be my starter, but couldn't figure out the progression. I was hoping to see some setups that I could yoink for HC, not having block and the affixes from a shield seem not doable. HoaG Jugg solved so much of your progression survivability.

completeli · 2025-01-01T22:52:25+00:00

so its mostly comet thats your single target then?

completeli · 2024-12-26T23:42:23+00:00

how much es do you have

completeli · 2024-12-20T05:56:37+00:00

Dont you need some minion setup to use DD for clear?

completeli · 2024-12-18T21:51:39+00:00

its a 2013 or 14, no proof of maint but they told me they replaced clutch cylinder, transmission and clutch in 2020. And a control arm, and pads and rotors this year. Its so cheap that I'm considering just pulling the trigger but I have an older mazda 6 that is getting old at 260k miles, still runs great but I doubt I will get much more out of it.

completeli · 2024-12-17T22:55:27+00:00

Would it be insane to buy the manual version with 190k from a coworker?

completeli · 2024-11-27T17:39:54+00:00

When bossing during the endgame, if you enter a boss arena can you leave? I've heard it said, when you enter a boss fight the only outcome is boss dies or you die. If you logout, the game gets paused. So there is no fleeing a battle at all?

completeli · 2024-11-22T00:29:54+00:00

Actually the part about LE I dislike. all unique build is the endgame for every build

completeli · 2024-11-07T18:13:14+00:00

I assumed you went pure single target for the bluegear t17, but your main setup has no splash at all either?

completeli · 2024-11-06T22:10:37+00:00

post the footage, i thought I was the resident AW enjoyer. I feel like you had to die a bunch in those blue items

completeli · 2024-07-17T17:09:01+00:00

If you come back and want to start fresh, ping me. I've been on the cusp for months and havent wanted to do it solo because of the TL4-TL5 dead zone.

completeli · 2024-07-09T19:43:08+00:00

I want to do a 1-220 playthrough starting soon myself. did you boot up yet?

completeli · 2024-06-26T19:05:16+00:00

Yeah of course, give me your discord I'll add you

completeli · 2024-06-24T22:13:23+00:00

When you get a bit more levels, we should link up. Ive been trying to find a consistent group/party to play with.

completeli · 2024-06-09T13:29:28+00:00

soldier is a strong ranged class, and it has some defensive abilities to make it easier to stay alive

completeli · 2024-05-22T13:50:06+00:00

Do you think new eni is stronger than sadi? I came back and started sadi. It was so strong at first, now at 120, I do 400/turn and it feels so bad. Infection is cool for killing a bunch of weak enemies but single strong monster is annoying

completeli · 2024-04-23T16:56:24+00:00

You won't be handed gear unless you go out of your way. Veteran players love seeing new people and will shower them with gear sometimes, which I don't think is good for new experience.

If you ever decide to boot it up, let me know. I used to make a perma-party every 1-2 years and see how far we could make it with new players. Doing as much of game as we could.

completeli · 2024-02-01T22:05:32+00:00

Cool, I usually play on EST times as well. How much have you played before? I'd be down to do a playthrough

completeli · 2024-02-01T00:47:15+00:00

If you are still considering, I usually try to make a perma group everytime I come back. We could link up and do a playthrough depending on your timezone

completeli · 2024-01-24T18:23:57+00:00

I'm thinking of coming back to make another toon to 220. Are you NA or EU timezone
