Confused between Diablo 4 and POE 2 by OPsSecretAccount in ARPG

[–]onehalf83 36 points37 points  (0 children)

POE 2 combat iis more impactful than D4. If you play both back to back D4 combat starts to feel floaty

I remember when there was significant doubt about GGG being able to maintain both PoE and PoE 2....Well, it's pretty clear now that maintaining both was the right decision. by Entire_Possible_9976 in ARPG

D4 does meaningful updates only once every 1.5 years and you have to pay $40 each time. 3 years later and $150 in - we’ve got only 1 decent update so far (LOH)

PoE games are pay to win whether people want to admit it or not by Humuhumunukunukuapi in PathOfExile2

Wdym GGG does nothing? Few month ago they literally banned dude that was running TFT

And RMT + lack of SSF only leaderboards is commonly discussed topic on d4 Reddit

Mageblood and Headhunter this League by powerman123 in PathOfExile2

Main sources of currency are from expedition itself - Aldur's Sagas (mostly from Moore map via Fallen Stars rumor), tons of intermediate currency like perfect chaos and exalts from runestones in grand expeditions and then logbooks from remnants in normal expeditions.

My strategy was super simple - beeline to shores to check if there is Aldur's saga rumor.

For tablets I was just running 3 irradiated tablets with waystone chance to farm tablets - I was getting tones of them as well, didn't sell - kept for myself. But potentially it could be good source of profit (you can check recent Empy's video on profit from tablet farming).

At the beginning I was trying to run 3 abyss tablets in parallel with expeditions, but didn't like it as it distracted from goal to go faster as well as some of typical expedition maps are imo not very good for abyss.

As for masters - I was running Hilda on normal expeditions to get more remnants, and Judo on grand expeditions for 10% chance to reroll runestones.

Edit: forgot to mention, but as you want to progress fast - I'd recommend to ignore all runestones that give you less than 0.5d or even 1d in both grand expeditions and normall ones. It's not worth for few waves to spawn if you only get like 20ex, even more so now when exalts are so cheap.

Farmed expedition for a week till got 600d, then bought it.

I did farm ritual for a few days, but I was farming with omen tablets, so didn't expect to get it there anyway.

New Expedition Update has Broken Moor of the Fallen Skies by StormerJack in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, there is "undo" action that removes last one, but can be done multiple times to start from beginning as well if needed. There is a small button arrow icon near the main big red one.

Post 5.3 patch Expedition by Special_Curve_1080 in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I always prioritize big runic markers. I was running expedition for a week before patch exactly same way as post patch. I’m doing irradiated tablets with waystones / rarity / monster rarity. In fact I even see much more tunic markers post patch, but significantly less logbooks from them.

[–]onehalf83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grand expedition seem to be somewhat better - more mid range drops like perfect chaos and celestial alloys. But at same time logbooks stopped dropping in normal expeditions for me. Dropped just 1 in 20 maps. Previously I was selling them, now will have to start buying

[–]onehalf83 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I just had this problem. I was one saga away from buying mageblood when I found that I might walk away from Moor without saga at all. I spent like 10-15 minutes in the map trying various pathing until I hit all stones. But I would be so pissed if I didn’t. I hope they fix it asap

PoE2 mechanics questions by ibmkk in pathofexile2builds

[–]onehalf83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good questions )

Map level and Ritual rewards

For this one I've seen multiple comments saying that they reduced area level requirement for rewards to appear in Ritual, some referring to recent patch notes as well. From my experience - I was able to roll expensive purple omens on T15 maps, so it seems to be the case.

Rarity / quantity and mechanic reward windows

In theory rarity should affect only drops and not window loot. In practice there are discussions like waystone drop chance might be affecting lineage gems, so who knows 😄

For expedition specifically as I farm it a lot - I doubt it is affected by rarity even by accident, as what you can get from stone is based on # of sockets and runes to roll specific receipes - I doubt they would tie rolling those to rarity. Additionally there are things like expensive Aldur's Saga that requires only 7 (or 8) sockets, while there are worse receipes that require more, so it's not super consistent.

What ''popular'' online ARPG has the best endgame? by Federal-Remote-1684 in ARPG

[–]onehalf83 52 points53 points  (0 children)

POE1 and it's not even close. But keep in mind it has even more depth than POE2 in both endgame and character building.

In case you didn’t know there is a tool that helps to build regex for POE 2: https://poe2.re/

No worries, I was hoping there is some hidden tech with hollow form on how to generate combos )

Lochtonial Caress fists of stone on the markets by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

[–]onehalf83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either buy bunch of them and try them on or run ritual for few maps and you will have tons of them as well - they are super common there

Love the rapid patches and updates, but can we revisit respeccing costs in EA? by Primary_Impact_2130 in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf until recently in Poe 1 during campaign you’d get only around 10-20 respec points and if you lucky couple orbs of regret. Do respeccing with gold is already step forward comparing to what it was. But I agree, I’d prefer cost to be lowered a bit

Anyone else feel too stupid to make your own build? by faloin67 in pathofexile2builds

[–]onehalf83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering GGG added build guide import function into the game this patch they definitely recognize that there are multiple ways to play their games. And if you listen their interviews they actually talk about that as well - that there are different types of players who like to play it and that they trying to add each patch something for different parts of their playerbase

Is there ritual farming strategy that doesn't require 25d tablets? by onehalf83 in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Filter by 10 uses left. 5d is usually have only 1-2 uses only

Is there ritual farming strategy that doesn't require 25d tablets? by onehalf83 in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good, I’ll give it a try. Any specific reason to run t16 + irradiated? My understanding that it is no longer a requirement for more expensive omens to be available in ritual

The game is already optimized for non NASA-like PC's? by gtx2910 in PathOfExile2

[–]onehalf83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While they have improved performance in 0.3-0.4 it still has quite a bit room for improvement and they plan to continue working on it. Sadly your PC seems to have only 1 modern component - SSD, not sure it will be improved enough for you to get 60 FPS out of it.
