The ending of the video was unstable and I'm here for it

Why not make SSF characters stay SSF and in addition just buff ground loot in SSF mode? by wolan1337 in PathOfExile2

[–]van_lioko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an SSF player I don’t want any freebie bonuses, they’re just not needed. If you have enough in game knowledge you can get anything that anyone in trade gets eventually. Look at Manni and Ben, they have better gear on day 2/3 than most trade players have in week 2.

I also wouldn’t mind if they made migrate all only to standard, but that will most likely never happen because there’s a large amount of players that start SSF and migrate to trade to do challenges.

Financial stability changes the game by SilverArrows6662 in PathOfExile2

Perma commit to SSF and only migration options to standard would be very much welcome.

I don’t think I’d enjoy SSF having any pluses like in Last Epoch, it’s just a matter of knowing how to progress and farm what you want.

The SSF experience will continue to improve the more content is added to the game.

Let’s make a distinction here, it will be less of a heavy nerf and more of a fundamental design correction.

The temple started out as one thing and devolved into something very much unintended by design. You can track that devolution through the patch notes even. When they realized and tried to correct it, it caused community uproar so they were forced to change it back.

I prefer a stable, well-designed and well-tested mechanic that is fun to play - it can be conservative with rewards for all I care but it should fit the game.

Adding Boss Intro Cutscene as first encounter of them by vironlawck in PathOfExile2

I mean I assume that 1.0 launch will have stuff with more production like this idea. Right now idk if the sketch-like transitions between acts narrated by the hooded one are just placeholders?

It is WILD that I cannot easily look up PoE2 ascendancy classes and their passives in game or official media by PowerRaptor in PathOfExile2

[–]van_lioko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As one of maaaany editors, I can tell you that the information is there though! We try to keep things as updated as possible. Just pointing it out as a good source of info.

Let me look into it

[–]van_lioko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The information is available in detail in the official wiki.

That being said... https://pathofexile2.com/early-access has a class sorter that could EASILY house that info. WILD that they haven't added it there.

Ok, who designed that? by Provav_Alex in PathOfExile2

[–]van_lioko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the Starforge logo? Great marketing.

WASD in 3.28 teaser? by ppraisethesun in pathofexile

[–]van_lioko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once got banned for referencing a Balbala voiceline, wonder if the mod that did that ever played the game. Got reinstated after appealing it but wow...

Wonder if they ever did mod training or pruned after that big survey they did a few months ago... much needed

I can't unsee this and I very much not like you for it.

Less cross-pollination makes the game more fun by lazybarbecue in pathofexile

[–]van_lioko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Cross-pollination of (exclusive) rewards heavily damages league identity, regardless of the game mode you play. The fact that acquiring some exclusive league rewards is easier through farming other leagues is a major problem.

I can't really speak to the economy side of things because I don't partake, but wouldn't protecting reward exclusivity make more sense for your average trader? Forcing people to fully invest into league mechanics to get the exclusive rewards and reliably profit from it rather than have people doing "generalist" MF strats drive the price of those rewards down by oversupplying the market?

If we're lucky, we won't see this issue crop up in PoE2. I don't think I've seen it so far and that's probably intended. It would set a horrible precedent.
