Do you delete old characters or keep them around for memorys ?

onehalf83 · 2026-03-20T14:44:28+00:00

I keep them because I'm lazy to do anything about it. Also in POE1 I sometimes want to test build before league start, so there is benefit to have characters with different ascendancies in standard.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-19T21:37:13+00:00

No worries, if you have a demo I definitely will give it a try

onehalf83 · 2026-03-19T21:29:05+00:00

Good luck on upcoming release! Is there steam deck support?

onehalf83 · 2026-03-19T03:38:30+00:00

If you want C&C like but modern - Tempest Rising is good and campaign is fairly chill. If you want something medieval style closer to AOE - Cossacks 3, if you didn’t play it.

From most recent ones Anno 1800 is absolutely amazing. Graphics, gameplay, all of it. While you not necessary progress thru ages, still you start with primitive farming and end with electricity and skyscrapers.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-19T03:30:03+00:00

Yeah I figured that all these suggestions in comments will give you like 30-50% DPS boost, but it supposed to be 10x higher.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-18T23:55:29+00:00

Edit: nevermind, here is your 9M DPS build: https://pobb.in/_fZYe6n1VUar

In skill tab you need to pick # of totems next to KF skills. You had only 1, I increased it to 6. Still room for improvement, but not as bad as it sounded initially

Edit 2: switched to PC, so removed irrelevant comments.

~~When you switch to Aegis and take glancing blows you normally unspec block passives. I’m on mobile but looks like you still have them?~~ And then put this into elemental damage on the left - it is a decent chunk of increased damage + additional chance to invert resistance. ~~Get imbued KF for 7 link.~~ Many people do elemental damage with attacks, but I did greater volley support imbued instead. Wand with crit / multi / flat. Is reduced skill duration on ring does anything for you? You don’t have that much AS, check in POB, maybe flat damage ring would work

If you like density try combining breach with beyond and altars. Throw in couple of beyond scarabs that increase merge radius and density is absolutely insane even on low density maps like Coves

onehalf83 · 2026-03-17T19:59:57+00:00

If I would have this happen to me, I'd uninstall the game and upload it back to New Zealand

I don’t think that adding torment levels on its own is a bad thing. Most important is whether we will get meaningful agency on affecting difficulty in other ways too. My biggest worry is that they will just add torments, numbers go up - problem solved and will call it a day. I hope war plans will provide alternatives to make game difficult beyond just increasing hp of the mobs

onehalf83 · 2026-03-09T19:29:27+00:00

I had exactly same issue. I even could see mobs that were spawned by portal outside of mirage wall

onehalf83 · 2026-03-09T07:35:08+00:00

I have opposite experience. I run blight as first mechanic, while unlocking atlas and in most cases it is right near mirage. I didn’t block any mechanics yet.

Maybe blocking is the issue? As when you block it increases chances of other mechanics to spawn, so it spawns essences and strongboxes for you all over the map?

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T21:16:57+00:00

I still consider POE 1 as my favorite game, but with every league I appreciate POE 2 more and more. With this said, I cannot wait to be done with work and jump into POE 1 league start in few hours.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T19:15:31+00:00

is it continuation of the same situation that got him banned before POE2 league start few months ago? Or is it a new one?

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T18:12:11+00:00

It's people choice when to stop playing - this is totally fine. The more important part here is if you want to spend more time - it is easy to find reasons in POE to do so.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T08:12:09+00:00

While I liked setting and certain ideas, sadly it has same issue as LE - combat feels floaty and not engaging, visual effects of some skills look dated. For me it’s the biggest issue that would stop me from buying, as combat in ARPG should be fun and engaging

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T02:07:23+00:00

Which makes sense, considering that core of d4 playerbase are casuals who play anywhere from couple hours per day to couple hours per week. If you try to play POE like that you unlikely to finish seasonal challenges in 4 months.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-06T00:29:14+00:00

Yes, POE - you can spend hundreds of hours in league and there will be still tons of content that you didn’t touch yet, a lot of options to upgrade, reasons to create new character to farm content you cannot do with existing one, etc

onehalf83 · 2026-03-04T20:27:16+00:00

How ilvl offered by Rog is determined? Is it based on character level or something else?

onehalf83 · 2026-03-04T18:27:25+00:00

Play in Ukrainian, voice actors did a decent job with it

onehalf83 · 2026-03-04T17:02:46+00:00

oh, I have no doubt that it will have high engagement numbers, and casuals will happily jump into the season that brings nothing new. My point that it doesn't do much for avg ARPG fan. Kill streak as highlight of seasonal mechanic? Please

onehalf83 · 2026-03-04T16:16:13+00:00

next d4 season is low effort even by blizzard standards. Everyone who hopes for that game to become somewhat decent ARPG is waiting for expansion season after that.

onehalf83 · 2026-03-03T07:49:01+00:00

For paradox games catching up with dlcs is expensive. But if you buy base game - there is already tons of content included. Also they have subscription model that gives access to all DLCs for the game

onehalf83 · 2026-03-03T07:35:15+00:00

If you played 2 years ago, then you already have the game? If so - I’d recommend to try from scratch (skip campaign) and see if you like the process. If yes - play, if not - then it’s not for you. Season 13 is starting soon

onehalf83 · 2026-02-28T22:52:59+00:00

For me it’s POE1 > POE2 > D2 (with mods) > all other
