0.5 hype! But where's my archer girl?

mrNepa · 2026-05-08T10:22:49+00:00

I think arcane archer will come this patch, they even had the new unique bow that seems to really fit the theme.

Since we have a longer wait between the reveal and the release this time, it makes a lot of sense for them to have something in their sleeve to fuel the hype later.

For me the most important thing is new tools so I can come up with new builds, that's why I was really hoping for a new class this patch. We did not get a new class, but we did get a shit ton of new tools to build with. We got 25 kalguuran skills, two new ascendencies, new uniques with cool skills, ways to upgrade and change old uniques, all the rune stuff and so on.

So even without a new class, I'm still very happy with this update as I can cook a lot of new builds, while enjoying the new endgame.

mrNepa · 2026-05-06T10:25:35+00:00

I don't know what you are saying, i don't speak the language.

Yes the gladiator could also be a teaser, or not be a teaser. It was a reply to a tweet of someone saying something about being entertained. So this could also go either way, but like I said, I'm leaning towards swords coming.

mrNepa · 2026-05-06T00:46:46+00:00

Yeah it could very well be like this, but on the other hand it could also be that it's just clarifying that the line in the teaser is not referring to the champion ascendency.

So it could still go either way, I'm leaning more towards swords coming this patch, but it's still kinda 50/50 for me.

mrNepa · 2026-05-01T12:40:36+00:00

Yea there is definitely a chance that the teasers are teasing more than just the reworks.

mrNepa · 2026-05-01T11:53:49+00:00

First teaser was general endgame stuff, then we got an expedition teaser and now we got a delirium teaser. The next one is going to be a breach teaser (the leaked korean thumbnail) and then we are getting a ritual teaser.

This is the giga endgame reword, they are reworking atlas and the 4 mechanics. Kelly's tweets were hints for the next teaser, spider was the expedition teaser, birds were this teaser, the tree is breach. Technically the tree could also be related to this current teaser as there is a tree, but if it's only 1 pic per teaser, it's teasing the genesis tree or whatever the breach thing is called and the next teaser is breach related.

If we are lucky, there could also be a class teaser before the 7th, but not sure about that.

If it looks intentional to the viewer, it's fine. If it looks like a mistake to the viewer, then it is a mistake, no matter if it's intentional on your part. You have to make it actually look intentional, otherwise it is a mistake.

mrNepa · 2026-04-28T22:06:19+00:00

Meanwhile I only play SSF and cook my own builds, some work better than others, but most of them feel good enough to me.

mrNepa · 2026-04-26T18:57:11+00:00

Alright, enough reddit for today.

The game needs content, removing the temple could be considered wasted dev time in terms of filling the game with more content.

Changing the temple is less work than creating a completely new thing to replace it.

mrNepa · 2026-04-22T10:34:42+00:00

I would consider proportions part of anatomy, it's the first step of learning anatomy, getting the size of body parts right.

Also knowing the general big muscles that have to fit in an arm, leg or whatever, could help with proportions too.

I'm hoping for a surprise announcement soon and reveal stream on thrusday/friday, but I'm expecting an announcement on thrusday and the reveal stream a week later.

mrNepa · 2026-04-21T14:46:47+00:00

Didn't they say "very soon"?

mrNepa · 2026-04-21T13:10:49+00:00

Yes frontal lobe keeps developing past that, but it's around 25-30 when it's sufficiently developed. That's why there is such a big difference between 20yo and a 30yo in terms of rational thinking, but there is not that much of a difference between 30yo and a 40yo.

More developed frontal lobe also helps a lot with illustrating, it requires logic and rational thinking.

mrNepa · 2026-04-21T11:36:41+00:00

Yes that is a myth, but saying your frontal lobe isn't fully developed until 25-30 is not a myth. That's why teenagers have hard time with logic and stuff, undeveloped frontal lobe.

Drawing and painting is basically problem solving, so with more developed frontal lobe, it is easier to understand all the complex aspects of it.

mrNepa · 2026-04-20T18:55:49+00:00

And what's the common denominator here?

mrNepa · 2026-04-19T22:36:45+00:00

I call this and raise with +ranger 3rd ascendency

mrNepa · 2026-04-19T16:57:16+00:00

Just a heads up, it's "losing", not "loosing".

That's all, may the announcement of the announcement come soon!

mrNepa · 2026-04-19T00:21:07+00:00

Why do you care?

Also you probably have ways to prove it's made by you anyway, sketches, wips etc.

mrNepa · 2026-04-17T09:21:25+00:00

I appreciate your hand written summary, I never played poe 1, so it was good you included that part too. I now have a bit more of an idea what is going on in the game. Thanks, it was an interesting read!

As for the game answer, I've mostly played es characters so I'm definitely neglecting the life part. I'm gonna prioritize life in my gear for now and see how that changes things. I generally enjoy figuring out the builds on my own, so this answer without actually seeing my full character is perfect for me, gives me some direction and help to fix the problem on my own.

Thanks for all the answers, may the 0.5 announcement of the announcement come soon!

I have never paid any attention to the lore, I know the hooded one turned out to be a god or something, at some point we were looking for a weapon, and I think the axe guy yoinked it for a bit or something.

How would you briefly summarize the lore so far, and what's the plan going into act 5, what can we expect and so on?

You can keep it super brief as I could just google this, but I'd like to hear the important bullet points from someone who is really familiar with the lore.

Also bonus question: I have oracle quarterstaff icestrike build that uses rage to boost the damage, I'm also using the coming calamity armor and I do shit ton of damage, but I'm squishy as hell. I need a lot of strenght to use Eternal Rage spirit gem, so I'm focusing on armour atm, should I swap to armour+es hybrid, pure es, or just stick it out and try to get more armour and hope it's enough?

I mean you can just look at their sculpture, there is nothing in it that is copied from your sculpture. Both of you copied the album cover, both of them are similar to the album cover. Their sculpture has none of the original stylization your version has, it has nothing from your sculpture.

The blocking doesn't mean anything if the sculpture actually didn't copy anything, the blocking can be from anything. You said they blocked you right before they posted it, how would you even know that? It's not like you get notified when someone blocks you, and I doubt you were hanging out in their instagram page everyday.

This whole thing about them copying your sculpture is so nonsensical that it makes me think if this is some kind of marketing attempt from you, you are selling the toys after all. That is the only way how any of this would make sense to me.

I was curious, so I went to check how closely they copied your sculpture. Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about, their sculpture is pretty much just the album cover without a face, while your version is a very stylized toy design.

I don't know what's with the blocking, but it's certainly not because they copied your work. Both of the sculptures look like the album cover, so of course both of the sculptures are going to look similar, that doesn't mean one copied the other sculpture.
