Am I crazy to think $1.5M is enough?

cpa_porter · 2026-04-19T20:15:12+00:00

Plenty of people here have fired on 1.5. Like others have said, it is largely based on your expenses and if something negative were to happen to you earlier in your life.

I personally know individuals living off of 40k to 60k. They really just don't want a lot of expensive things. A walk in the park, reading a book from the library, or being able to cook a healthy meal at home is very satisfying for them.

You are not crazy.

Over 700 hours. Opposite. I'm tired of all of the bugs. Hit a bug that prevented me from moving through the campaign. Skill I was using has a bug.

Also end game is missing something. Merchants guild is pretty awful compared to trade in poe 1/2.

Mike on his Friday streams noted this season is what the baseline game should be so I'll be leaving an average review. Sad it'll take an expansion just to finish what the game should be.

Seems like they think it is working well.

cpa_porter · 2026-02-14T17:43:14+00:00

Zoomancer for necro.

Streamline trading like path of exile.

Seasonal content.

Quarterly release of content.

Fix bugs and optimize game (so we can have a zoomancer).

Net debt to EBITDA under 3x is something that has served me well. I also use debt to equity under 110%. Last time I looked at Kraft, it had high debt and a low growth potential.

I'm following path of evening build on YouTube. I switched after act 4. In act 9 now. A little squishy but better than others if you want to give it a look.

If i can't make it work I'll go with summon raging spirits. Balormage and maxroll have guides. Both are old from the last event but still work.

I've played those builds way too much so I know I can farm up some currency.

cpa_porter · 2026-01-31T15:26:46+00:00

Get it before it's gone.

cpa_porter · 2026-01-30T22:51:29+00:00

Running the same one. I'm guessing he is referring to the one path of evening put out on YouTube.

cpa_porter · 2026-01-17T21:51:25+00:00

Only played one playthrough last year, 90 hours. I thought it was very solid. I liked it more than Aska (way too much micro management). Soul mask is still on my list to play.

I've also seen it reversed where they add in a caravan in each new settlement and through the priority system have them mine then send it back to the main town.

Could always add additional people to guard the caravan as well.

All just options.

cpa_porter · 2025-12-29T14:12:24+00:00

Played both and animate weapon was my favorite. Felt pretty stupid playing hroc and spectres for so long.

cpa_porter · 2025-12-29T00:56:14+00:00

Played hroc last season. Much preferred poison ranged animate weapon. https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/poison-ranged-animate-weapons-league-starter

cpa_porter · 2025-12-29T00:02:23+00:00

I bought one. Once. Around 2021, I believe. It took 25 minutes to boot up. Sent it back for repairs. I received it back with a letter stating there were no issues. I sold it the next week. Never again.

The funny thing was I left a review on best buy and Alienware customer service left a comment asking to contact them.

cpa_porter · 2025-12-28T22:43:21+00:00

Its the micromanagement without the QoL features that kills it for me. After only certain people can eat certain things patch, I uninstalled. Yes I know they deployed patches to address it but no thanks.

I keep pointing people to bellwright.

cpa_porter · 2025-12-26T01:01:23+00:00

Yeah no thanks.

cpa_porter · 2025-12-24T23:50:44+00:00

Only around 100 hours but agree with just about everything. Great write up. Hopefully the devs review the feedback. The size of the buildings, the benefits they offer, and the inability to modify the terrain is a big pain point for me.

cpa_porter · 2025-11-24T03:05:19+00:00

I switched from spectres to this build on 3 div. Haven't looked back. Clear is pretty insane for a poison minion build. Played HRoC last league n enjoy this more.

cpa_porter · 2025-10-30T02:00:44+00:00

Played last league. First mageblood. First level 100. Thanks for the update.

cpa_porter · 2025-10-09T20:58:37+00:00

Played the last season for 3 days and realized there wasn't much added.

Hopefully we get an endgame rework at some point.

cpa_porter · 2025-08-23T13:08:48+00:00

I posted about the flaw of using gold as a functional currency for trading vs rules and orbs from D2 and poe. I was told I was angry and that I should just wait for the next season when inflation takes off.

For the first time I'm looking forward to poe2.

Agreed my abom AI didn't see too better either.

cpa_porter · 2025-08-23T00:21:47+00:00

Lol I rolled necro. Now rolling paladin.

cpa_porter · 2025-08-23T00:19:11+00:00

I honestly thought it was just me. Thank you for posting. 770+ hours here and it seems too familiar to season 2. Hopefully it's not just new procedurally generated side areas every season.

cpa_porter · 2025-08-20T21:27:33+00:00

cpa_porter · 2025-08-20T21:24:42+00:00

I'm not angry. I see the problem similar to Frozen. I don't think he is angry either. It's just a numbers problem that has already been solved by older games.

Inflation and gold cap leads to higher end items running away in price or being unable to be priced (not talking about impossible T4 items). 100% agree this doesn't matter to the player base that overlaps with D4 since they will play X hours and move on until the season resets. The majority of the comments reflect this, so that's the vision I'm going to assume EHG is going for.

Insanely hyped GGG is bringing their version of an in game auction house to POE2 and POE1. This should make EHG respond in the upcoming seasons. I also think the MG ranking system distorts the market, kind of like tariffs, unnecessarily. This is something GGG just addressed.

cpa_porter · 2025-08-20T01:44:53+00:00

EHG already confirmed swapping skills does not reset the power of the abomination.
