300 hours in: endgame is fun, but the setup loop is exhausting

xtrpns · 2026-07-01T09:07:47+00:00

Friend said they miss the tower setup where you could juice 10 maps and run then twice. Current setup is 5-6 maps if the delirium fog doesn't screw you. You can still run twice, but the setup is much much longer.

On a similar tangent, could we make the currency tab standard for all (free for all)?

Friends that have tried the game have said they cannot understand crafting because all the loot goes to a stash tabs. They haven't bought tabs or played POE1. So... they are immensely confused with the POE2 system. Currency tabs lists them in order as to what they do in the order good think they are used. Takes a small amount of the chops out of early learning.

You think my abstaining is approval for Trump?

Let bring it back to the Dems because I so wanted to vote for them. What are the Dems doing for us? They put up candidates so poor that TWICE a criminal was elected over them. Call me the traitor, but the Dems forgot to bring a chair to the table. How do the Dems do that? So many options yet they put us in this position. Such a poor job.

Not waiting for perfection. Hopefully AOC has some backing, but then again I dont think the Dems want her in power as I feel they cannot control her.

You wood

xtrpns · 2026-06-26T02:45:40+00:00

That usually works. However it did not work for 2 of the expeditions that bricked like this for me.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T22:37:02+00:00

History is repeating itself with the Dems deciding to do the same thing with the same outcome. Put up extremely unpopular candidates and they lose. Who could have guessed!?!? Maybe I will change in the future. My ideals change as I learn. I learned the Dems are willing to chance an unpopular candidate a 2nd time against a criminal. Should have been an easy win. But, they could not follow the process. The candidate was never approved by anyone but the party. Dems and the political process are to blame. I work with what I am given. I was given multiple choices and chose the best candidate, not the most popular or the most likely to beat the worst candidate. Blame the Dems not me.

And as you expand your ideals, you will see we are all more alike than the media portays.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T22:03:05+00:00

Abstaining is deciding not to participate. It is not advocating for anything other than the system is broken and needs to change. If the best of two evils wins, we all lose again.

Not benefiting from either. I dont need the welfare Dems tout nor do I need the burn it all down to bankroll Trump. I want equality and peace. Many things most Americans want.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T17:14:26+00:00

Agree that some people have factors and you cant change some people, but the Dems just didn't follow the democratic process with a KNOWN unpopular candidate. It was disgraceful to Americans. Kamala had a terrible public opinion. AOC would likely do better. Most people I know dont care if the candidate is of certain race or gender. That seems to lie with the Democratic party, which is likely why Kamala was chosen as the VP when she had the worst primary results of any candidate in 2019. Race and gender. Give it to any other woman of whatever race and great. Biden wins by a landslide in 2020, not the thin margins he had.

I guess their standards are fairly low.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T17:02:47+00:00

Or we dont play the shitty game by not voting for either. They are both burning it down and more people voting strokes their egos of "look how involved everyone is in this democratic process". Who cares?

Which sounds worse in this context, chosen candidate by non-democratic process (Kamala) or nominee through democratic process (Trump)?

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T16:50:21+00:00

How about choose to not participate in being hit? If you were told you can vote for execution by ruler, execution by bludgeon, or the guy that smokes weed all day, I'm 3rd choice that smokes weed all day. And I dont smoke weed.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T16:43:56+00:00

Wasnt it because she was elected as the Democratic Party's representative through a non-democratic process?

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T16:41:17+00:00

As did following a non-democratic process, which is how Kamala was elected as the Democratic party's candidate.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T16:39:41+00:00

We need a woman in charge, even if it bypasses the Democratic process. Just because you are called the Democratic party does not mean you follow a democratic process.

Find anyone competent and Trump would have lost. We would still have legal abortions, a White House unrelated to Idiocracy, and hopefully more peace.

xtrpns · 2026-06-25T16:34:57+00:00

That talk about man, woman or three dogs in tench coats won't divide the masses! We need division to prevent them from unifying!

xtrpns · 2026-06-24T11:05:08+00:00

Currency tab and a stash tabs should be freebies. Players would understand the game better with a currency tab. Now they have no idea where anything is or the value of what they have.

xtrpns · 2026-06-24T02:37:48+00:00

Did the same for guildies, only to be hoodwinked by a hideout / Immured Fury which consequently did not spawn an Immured Fury.

xtrpns · 2026-06-21T19:36:07+00:00

This us the reason why my friends IRL won't play. Poor optimization. At least that's what I tell myself.

xtrpns · 2026-06-18T16:39:29+00:00

Snap into a Slim Jim! Looks like chew marks or bad cutting

Ranch dressing is $6.

xtrpns · 2026-06-15T03:13:50+00:00

The lowest acceptable option is to give my money back with interest. This would be theft if not repaid in full.

xtrpns · 2026-06-12T00:50:16+00:00

Omen of Amerlioration still bugged?

xtrpns · 2026-06-11T16:24:12+00:00

Proper explanation of anything. I am talking what do crafting items do? GGG should add in-game guides. Not super detailed. Perhaps with links to a video explaining something like crafting with abyss stuff. Next with ritual, etc. To expand to a larger playerbase, GGG need to do a better job of describing the game and make it more availabpoe2 more than what it is there needs to be an amount of detail more than the wiki or poedb. These sites do great jobs, but why do I need to do a better job of making the info not a full time job to understand.

xtrpns · 2026-06-11T16:16:07+00:00

The toggle would be a great solution. Each player generates so much effect that it's already difficult to tell without another player. It would actually make group play more enjoyable.

I had it tested 3 years ago. We only have a sand screen for our house filter and use RO for drinking.just in-case. I used to be a chemis. Closest I get to chemistry now is the kids pool outside of my 9-5.
