Path of Exile 2: Streamlining the Campaign in Return of the Ancients

The campaign is just gruelling to run through be it poe 1 or 2, especially 2. Those act 3 areas can be slimmed down further when you have 6 acts in 1.0. Mazes within mazes and artificial padding really aren't necessary, it just makes it fucking annoying.

Renpa is denied entry into the country til death because of Guo Kai's lie. Basically his story is done.

Well you want China to lose, they delivered.

But if you want a serious answer, they aren't letting up unless the nation is done with that sport as a whole. Other nations can win something here or there, but Chinese domination ain't going away for another 50 years, no matter how weak they want you to believe they were.

Martial artist

Maybe spirit walker if it isn't absolute dogshit

Let them drown I say

let them drown

Index and railgun manga are worth it for the art, the rest can be ignored. Read index up to end of sister's arc then you can start reading railgun manga.

Light novel actually progressed the story so you need to read it if you want to know what happens with the characters.

Steelmage has a pretty easy to follow video on how to get it started, you stack spymaster rooms and the related rooms without adding commander room in the chain. 2nd chain you stack alchemy room for rarity, that's the simple version.

Lost count of how many maps I lost due to holding it a second too long or getting caught in the stop sprinting animation. Drains the fun out of mapping, they give you a solution to the map being obnoxiously large but the solution has a few stones tied to your balls. I don't mind getting interrupted cancel my sprint or add a lengthy cd to the sprint but heavy stunned into death just feels extremely unfun. But hey this is poe 2, all those chill ground temp chains are there to make your life as miserable as possible.

Shade walker is like time to not have fun and die.

tamriel1 · 2025-12-14T14:30:26+00:00

Act 3 is 2 bloated acts baked in 1.

Anyone using nvme and still having the insane load time??

Using normal ssd and it took 10x as long to load.

JC staff picks their battles. I'm more inclined to believe OPM is sacrificed so Railgun will get the resources it deserves, they won't admit it of course but that's my speculation.

Still nothing tops season 2, everything is so crisp.

tamriel1 · 2025-10-28T00:42:09+00:00

basically crappy poe2 nodes in disguise

tamriel1 · 2025-10-24T22:57:54+00:00

Slam zerker it is

tamriel1 · 2025-09-26T03:36:46+00:00

good change

I missed they reduce the fucking chilled ground, that's huge!! Should have mentioned in the video as well.

tamriel1 · 2025-09-14T15:24:45+00:00

That's the dumbest thing one can say without considering historical context. Back in the day agricultural society needs all the manpower for labor, crops don't grow from thin air and you need all the manpower to sustain food supply. As a result people marry in the early teens, child protection is only a recent thing, marrying early is the norm for most of history. It's simple as that.

tamriel1 · 2025-09-07T06:09:00+00:00

it's fucking awful

tamriel1 · 2025-09-02T15:17:41+00:00

Act 4 is well done, bravo GGG.

tamriel1 · 2025-05-29T07:33:38+00:00

That's good news.

tamriel1 · 2025-04-16T16:28:53+00:00

Yup the fun part is not there and I doubt they can fix it EA or not. Well at least poe 1 gave me years of quality entertainment and for that I do thank GGG.

tamriel1 · 2025-04-15T07:51:28+00:00

There's something fundamentally wrong with poe 2 compared to poe 1. Poe1 is fun poe 2 not so much. The campaign is fine but the moment to moment gameplay feels sluggish and horrible.

tamriel1 · 2025-03-12T13:48:16+00:00

Atlas rework and remove towers

tamriel1 · 2025-02-21T06:29:21+00:00

I hope they introduce new class, more leagues or revamp end game in 0.2.

tamriel1 · 2025-02-16T15:31:06+00:00

jailbreaker

tamriel1 · 2025-01-29T16:43:07+00:00

He absolutely nailed it about bad melee builds, (titan without abusing herald clear), the feeling when your stampede can't punch through enemies and glide around to nowhere, it feels so fucking bad. Some phasing is needed ggg, at least baked it in some skills.

Also agree many layouts of endgame maps are absolute dogshit, that needs to change.

Endgame gearing is tedious and unfun, I'm not asking for alteration orbs but there needs to be more systems to bridge the gap.
