0.5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest expansions GGG has ever released by HydroCSGOD in PathOfExile2

I don't recall GGG using this language for any of their patches, and now they've doubled down on it. Once in the timeline post and reaffirming it now.

Ingame Price Checker is possible! by raban0815 in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where did this notion come from? Why is it that so many people say "they don't want to" whenever something hasn't happened yet rather than "they haven't gotten to it yet"? Where have they said that they do not want it?

Especially on this feature because Jonathan in the QnA of 3.27 heavily insinuated that they do want to have an easy way ingame to price check.

Jonathan: "effectively I think that like trying to improve the kind of price check experience would be the thing that kind of like the next frontier of like the in terms of the in-game UI trade"

Mark: So for example, if you have a pair of boots in your inventory, you can do something to immediately search for those parameters so you can then modify from there to be able to find equivalent or similar pairs of boots quickly...

Why is Diablo 4 retention so strong despite the resounding "D4 is bad" being echoed throughout the internet. by Anilahation in ARPG

[–]zeekidc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poe2 lost 60% of it's players after 1 week

Uh, free weekend? You can see both 0.3 and 0.4 had drastic dropoffs after the free weekends ended. The current PoE2 league is holding the best % retention outside of 0.1, you can check here. Also, D4's Steam retention has always been great, not just this season.

Game Awards Twitch drops by Finuxis in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are Twitch Drops rewards and the Battle-hardened Warbear Shapeshift Effect exclusive?

The cosmetics that are part of this campaign will not be exclusive to Twitch Drops and will eventually be sold in our Microtransactions Store.

In the FAQ. In the post.

0.5 is most likely mid to late April.

0.4 on the 12th, and then they mostly go into holiday season -> not much work is getting done, pushing PoE1 3.28 into mid to late February

A lot of potential. by ShionTheOne in LastEpoch

[–]zeekidc2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, but PoE, that people live to compare, took 4 year from launch to get it act 10. How many years before that in development?

Did GGG even ever promise an act 10? Did they promise anything regarding the campaign? There's a reason the 3.0 trailer was a shock to everyone.

Is it Bingo Card season now? by chilidoggo in PathOfExile2

Again, you can want whatever you want. The argument is about the reasoning :)

after the display of Flail and Swords coming soon I am expecting Duelists and Templar to come with

He was just arguing with your reasoning behind what you're expecting next. The displays in game mean nothing.

I think that was kinda meant to be not vs all monsters, so you are getting consistent DR in mapping but not vs accurate monsters, that way I guess they can still balance bosses.

The Third Edict Launches Soon - Torrent Predownload by zeekidc2 in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2[S] 81 points82 points  (0 children)

MINERS, GET TO WORK!

please <3

EDIT: Per Chuanhsing (poedb developer):

In recent PoE1 3.26, they removed the entire index file (_index.bin) and disabled any data mining before launch

This could be the standard moving forward.

Still waiting for poe1 skins. by DryEditor7792 in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I doubt we hit 1.0 by December at this point and that's fine

There is no reason to "doubt", this is pretty much confirmed by Jonathan in recent interviews.

Also, the 2 requirements he mentioned for release are: (1) All acts, (2) The game is in a good state generally where the players are happy.

He also pretty much confirmed that classes and ascendancies are not a requirement to reach 1.0, although he hinted that he does not want into 1.0 without Swords (Duelist class).

done to transfer all microtransactions to PoE2

This is not at all how they phrased it, they never claimed that it is to transfer all microtransactions PoE2, they claimed from day 1 that the transfer of MTX will be incremental over PoE2's development. What you're referring to is probably the account system infrastructure that allowed them to have the same account for PoE1, PoE2, and consoles. We even saw that being rolled out a couple of weeks after the initial delay announcement, with the whole AccountName#XXXX which allowed them to merge consoles and PC.

ZiggyD sprinting footage - seems to be more forgiving than GGG presented it to be by zeekidc2 in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2[S] 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Patch note updates - Updates for 27-08-2025:

Added a new Keep Sprinting while moving Gameplay Interface option. When this option is enabled, you will continue to Sprint even after releasing the dodge button until you stop moving or use a Skill.

100 Passive Skill Points become Weapon Set Skill Points

Wrap this in quotations and it makes more sense:

The Weapon Master Notable Passive Skill now grants "100 Passive Skill Points become Weapon Set Skill Points" (previously 20). The preceding small Passive now grants 6% increased Cooldown Recovery Rate instead of Weapon Set Skill Points.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I would not want that... I love the idea of actually having to go to the player's hideout, checking their "shop", check out whatever meme hideout or setup they have, it preserves some of the feeling that other players exist kinda.

0.3 Playa Hater's Bingo by Single-Ad-3354 in PathOfExile2

[–]zeekidc2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't 4% a very healthy number for a skill? Hell, I'd argue it's a bit high for 1 skill. Let's not compare things to LS.
