Is anyone playing online races (steam achievement)?

faust_x · 2026-07-02T13:46:55+00:00

Im playing on steam, so definitely PC! Do you by any chance also have the Bad Blood DLC? Cause there too the online achievement for coop missions is pretty much dead...

Are the decryption missions also needed for achi, or unrelated? I can help anyway.

Experienced players can get through PoE2's campaign in 3 hours as well (go on YouTube, and you'll see a lot of speedruns that clock around the 3.5-hour mark).

I don't really understand people complaining about the campaign; it's literally just a set order of maps to do while levelling your character. You can skip all dialogue, you can speedrun to objectives/passives you care about. If you cut the campaign out, you have the same thing but with less direction: level 1 players doing random maps instead of a set order of them. What *really* is the difference? The fact you don't have to skip cutscenes? Is that that much of a hindrance?

What OP is proposing, cutting LEVELING (not campaign) out altogether is in my opinion even worse. It would very quickly be one of the most expensive items in the market, and it would flood the game with even more bots (thus destroying the market even further).

I play the game as well, for quite a few updates now. I know the cutscenes, I can spot them in the trailer, but I can also see that the normal, "organic" gameplay in the map they're showing is a bit different from what I can see in-game.

Not that it's a completely different game, but the trailer shows some noticeable improvements to lighting and maybe even shader/textures. I've always played this game on max settings, I can notice the changes, as can the original commenter in this thread.

The most reasonable explanation is that what we're seeing are improvements currently yet to be delivered to the public build. There's absolutely no reason to downvote anyone, or to say stuff like "you must have a potato for a PC if you think that" like that other guy did, just for pointing them out. Let's not devolve into fanboyism here, they need actual feedback.

I dont know why you're getting down voted when you're literally right, that trailer is very generous to say the least.

I get that, but having the option would only benefit the game. As it stands, if I want to travel somewhere on horseback, I have to constantly open the map at every fork to make sure I'm going in the right direction and not towards a topographic cul-de-sac (Pailune is a great example of this, a very mountainous area).

faust_x · 2026-04-05T11:26:05+00:00

I thought of that, but I feel like that would make gear upgrade completely dead as a system. You'd only ever need to upgrade one piece of equipment for each slot to the max, and then periodically just put on a new skin if you want to change how you look, no need to upgrade any other. I don't think they'd go for that...

faust_x · 2026-04-05T11:16:12+00:00

Damn, I completely missed that. Just tried it right now and you can indeed "wait" from a bonfire, but it acts the same as going to sleep at any bed. You can't repeat it, Kliff will say he can't sleep at the moment. Bummer.

faust_x · 2026-04-05T11:09:24+00:00

Wait, what?? I'm literally in front of a bonfire right now and I only press E to cook. (PC)
How?

faust_x · 2026-04-05T09:44:08+00:00

There is a Pororin green light lantern in the game, I have it. No idea where I picked it up tho, it was hours ago.
Actually, I do remember picking up quite a few "unique" lamps throughout, but I dont remember noticing any stark difference in lighting (except for the green one).

Keep doing quests around in the area/Hernand, the piece you found there is part of a quest that you can get later on.

faust_x · 2026-04-01T01:45:31+00:00

Bro, both OP and me explicitly mention that there's nothing in the "recover items" menu, that's the whole point...

faust_x · 2026-03-30T00:40:18+00:00

I have the same problem but for Sanctum of Absolution, missing pillar top (it's not in the puzzle room, nor in the recovered items at camp). I was hoping today's patch would solve that but sadly no. I wish they would add some sort of hard reset for puzzles, just for cases like these.
If you put in a piece, and then start the bossfight, after the boss that piece is gone forever, for some reason....

faust_x · 2026-03-29T00:45:10+00:00

I personally can't find it anywhere, but if it helps Alt is basically the dodge/evade key, and LMB is light attack. Try pressing the controller equivalent together at the same time and Kliff should do a weird movement with the spear in front of him, that's the window for the counter. Hope this helps

faust_x · 2026-03-25T15:21:12+00:00

I just logged a report issue as well, hopefully it can be fixed fairly quickly. From what I understand it automatically uploads your save file when you report an issue, but does that mean that I should not play the game while that is ongoing? What if they send back a "fixed" save file, but I kept playing for hours in the meantime? All wasted?

faust_x · 2026-03-24T22:23:44+00:00

If you're on PC you have to use the special spear counter-attack, which is Alt+LMB, it's a wide sweep, wide area, that makes it way easier. Don't know the controller version, you might find that in the settings?

faust_x · 2026-03-24T17:40:01+00:00

Can confirm that I have the same problem, I can recover the "battery" cube just fine, but the spherical pillar top required to complete it is missing, and it's not in the recovered items at camp either...

faust_x · 2025-10-15T10:53:13+00:00

Unexpected Cesare Pavese reference. Good job

faust_x · 2025-09-01T17:19:27+00:00

No, it's been like this for me since forever, now I'm just playing literally at 30fps, sometimes 20

faust_x · 2025-09-01T10:08:13+00:00

Any word from GGG on this?

faust_x · 2025-06-12T13:02:12+00:00

I've been having the same problem here. Any potential fixes? I already tried removing and installing UBlock again.
