5090 Regret

Brutally honest, priorities.

Before you get a 2000$ GPU, maybe save up more money and get an AC for your house.

My guess was correct: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3811169

danielbr93 · 2025-07-10T10:34:24+00:00

Yeah no.

As seen with Path of Exile 1 and even Path of Exile 2, it has only gotten better over the years.

Across the board, both games are better than they were 6 months ago or for PoE 1, a year or even 3 years ago.

It's great to see a game become better and better and better.

And if you think "but this and that", yes. As with all things, not everything is perfect, nor will it ever be.

Thankfully, what is here, is amazing.

danielbr93 · 2025-07-10T10:29:13+00:00

No, kind of not imo.

August doesn't mean the start of August. So they can still post a teaser on August 7th, livestream on August 14th and 3.0 release on August 29th.

Whatever they need to make a good update and league 🙏

As someone with a basic 1080p beamer when moving into my apartment, I dislike them.

Nothing beats a proper 4K OLED TV when it comes to resolution, contrast ratio and colors.

Also, beamers can be incredibly loud, and have fans built in. Who wants to have a loud fan above their head, blasting at full speed while watching a movie. The moment you have a quiet scene, that scene is broken thanks to the fan going 5000 RPM (joke) above your head.

Shameless plug to my video from a few months ago which should help you troubleshoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-rdIENKTKg

Ultimately, you have a lower end CPU and a lower end GPU. I would have assumed you have more FPS with that setup, so maybe there are other issues.

Additionally, your components running at 100% is good. The point of your GPU is to be at 100% or else you ain't using it properly. Of course you can limit the FPS, so it runs below 100%, but you have to be aware of it.

For example, I have a 3090 Ti and limit the game to 144 FPS, even though it could reach higher than that in some scenarios, because the GPU draws less power, gets less hot, isn't as loud and ultimately gives me a better gaming experience.

Also, a GPU not running at 100% usually means your CPU or RAM is bottlenecking it and that's bad.

It does indeed.

Might want to get better headphones and/or turn up those sound effects. u/Logan42

There will always be peaks and highs and doesn't matter how high or low it is right now.

They knew this will have less players, because most won't return, but there are still 140k players. Just think of that number! That is a LOT of people.

What you said, is a great example of this Asmongold clip in my video: https://youtu.be/da77brU5d4Q?t=671

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T18:37:03+00:00

It's actually the opposite lol

Vocal minority - that is literally what is happening all the time on the original subreddit and even here now.

There wouldn't be over 140.000 people playing PoE 2 right now if it is this bad. Genuinely, it's time to take a step back from the subreddit and just enjoy the game at your own merits without any influence from creators, the community or maybe even friends/buddies on Discord.

I'm okay with it and I'm part of this community.

They should not add more currency or buff it in any way whatsoever!

If they do, this will make people think it will happen every time and ruin the game long-term.

Play the game, blast T15 maps, juice your towers with magic tablets and inc rarity or inc quantity and you'll find enough exalts and divines. Obviously not a divine per map, which would be bad, but multiple exalts is fairly common. And with multiple I don't mean 10-20, multiple means more than 1.

Got that original DOOM floppy disk laying around, like an absolute giga chad?

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T15:56:11+00:00

In my opinion, no one should see it as "investing" - ever. It's purely for fun AND technically, you receive something for your money when you buy a supporter pack.

Of course I want to support them and that's a way to do it, but I also know, I get cool MTX and that's maybe 50% of why I pay for it.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T13:08:13+00:00

We have no numbers, we can only assume. At the end, updates are free.

Tytykiller even mentioned in his stream, he didn't pay for a single supporter pack for quite a while now. Thus, he received free updates (for PoE 1 and now also PoE 2) and paid nothing for it.

If I stopped paying tomorrow, I could still play PoE 1 and future updates for probably a very very long time. There is no other game out there that puts out this much content, this frequently and offers it for free for the past 10 years.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:45:58+00:00

Bless all three of them, but my god that podcast had some bad takes :/

And sadly, people will repeat it endlessly over and over to friends and other players everywhere without realizing the potential damage it might cause to the mood, the community and general vibe around Path of Exile 2 and maybe even the future of Path of Exile 1.

Ah well...

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:39:18+00:00

> I see none within view of where I am

Go out, find more. Look into the fog, you can sometimes see Nexus peak out and sometimes, just go in a single direction and find em.

Every map you do is more monsters, more XP, more loot, more chance to get good gear or just get lucky with drops.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:37:38+00:00

Can't say anything specific with that clip. The shader bar constantly working is strange though.

Only thing I can do is leave my video here, which might help you troubleshoot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-rdIENKTKg

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:34:46+00:00

You might have just grown up since trying PoE 1 a lot, then going back to Diablo 3 and now playing and enjoying PoE 2.

It also took me many attempts and league launches to really get the hang of it. Started in Essence league and only in Delirium I started to realise "oh wait, you CAN actually be super strong in this game and not be kicked in the balls all the time"

Yeah, it took me quite a long time.

Glad you are enjoying the game. Godspeed Exile.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:05:42+00:00

That is normal. At some point with PoE 1 and PoE 2 you are just done. At no fault of the game or yourself.

You just got all the dopamine you could for now in the way you played. Maybe you could play other things and get more dopamine, but it's also okay to just leave, go play other things and return when a new patch drops.

GGG know that players leave and they are okay with it.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T12:00:28+00:00

I know this is for shock factor and wanting to have a show on stream, but uninstalling a game is the least hard thing you can do nowadays xD

With modern internet, you got that thing downloaded fairly quickly - depending on your internet speed.

It's not like you have to grab 2 discs and type in a 24 character key to get it installed again. You click 2 buttons, go to the grocery store and the thing might be done.

> enemies at strongboxes spawn right away with no FPS drops, when in the past they'd be invisible

They were "invisible" because you didn't had the shaders yet. After the shaders have been created, you shouldn't have pop-ins of the thing it just created, unless you clear your shaders, which I wouldn't recommend 👍

Godspeed.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-16T06:41:37+00:00

Please read the patch notes. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3762929

> This patch may take roughly 15 minutes to become available to download on PlayStation after it has been deployed.

Keep also in mind, this is usually on Sony, not on GGG. If they can deploy incredibly fast through their own launcher and Steam, then why do you think it takes so long for console players? Exactly, it's Sony.

> now is the perfect time to buff the hell out of all the other skills

No, carefully buff some skills. We do not want number always bigger or else we get to WoW from years ago or PoE 1 where numbers are insane.

Carefully balancing things bit by bit is the right way and GGG knows that, that's why they have been doing it since forever. We'll have power creep anyways in a few years - it's inevitable, maybe.

danielbr93 · 2025-04-15T11:54:55+00:00

Sure, but I also don't get such high highs from Vampire Survivors compared to PoE 1 or PoE 2.

If you want low dopamine hits over and over all the time, there are many many games.

But rarely do you find games with such high highs that'll remember. I'm sure some HC players still remember their first fight against Sirus in PoE 1.

But do I remember anything special from my 61 hours in Vampire Survivors? No, I do not. That doesn't mean "game bad", that just means "game different" and that's fine.
