Poe is probably one of the most restrictive games I've ever played.
There are skills that literally don't work and no one uses them for years, melee is just trash and 99% of the gear is just useless.
You literally just use 1 meta skill and look for 2-3 modifiers on items for 40+ hours.

you're a fricking moron. Every single skill has been used to kill Ubers recently and people with a functioning brain craft their own gear instead of looking for it.
Just uninstall and stick to diablo 4 or genshin because there is no hope for you left.
calling this dogshit casino roulette system 'crafting' is a disgrace
stfu newbie, yeah no shit you can kill ubers with anything given gucci gear, but if you were really able to craft your own shit then you'd be playing ssf and you'd understand that OP is correct
They've been lazy and stagnant for a long time. The game is rotting and the only reason the player count goes up is because they keep expanding globally, getting tons of third worlders who spend nothing but farm 10 hours a day to RMT their earnings. It's in a really sorry state compared to what it was circa 2018-2020
It all started to go to shit when Tencent bought out the company. Chinese business culture became more and more apparent in the way they handled community feedback and criticism. Now it's just an overstuffed goose that's supposed to lay golden eggs but is too constipated to produce anything worthwhile.
>muh tencent
Fricking obsessed

>Tencent
Oh. Game over I guess
I meant literally don't work
Either calculations are wrong or skill just refuses to work
It's a big game with big development team and animate guardian/weapon is literally a joke
It may just refuse to work or eat your items for no apparent reason
I remember that one time when it was just destroying items on use
wait i was under the impression that was how it worked
its not supposed to do that? LMAO

It's even worse when you realize how terrible it is to have reached the end of the game and be so burnt out on it that you look through the minutiae of each update and pick it apart only to identify "okay, yeah, this is going to be shit because of X" and "this could be good, but I'll be assed if I can theorycraft anything with it."
nailed it, I've been burned out for years and they haven't made meaningful changes in a long fricking time
Yeah. Even this transfigured gems system is a pile of mediocrity where they're clearly slapping things together poorly to see what sticks with no serious thought behind it.
And some of it is just there to troll people and say "see? We gave all these cool gems!" as they guarantee a handful will be in mediocrity forever.
>Double Strike of Impaling
>Loses a shitload of flat added damage against bleeding enemies for... Impale % Impale effect % and Impale spread, nobody will run it cause it's mechanically awful and boring
>Double Strike of Momentum... loses flat added damage for... 14% More attack speed per stack, gain a stack on attack (2nd attack of double strike does not count, max of 10 stacks), LOSE ALL STACKS WHEN YOU MOVE
The 1st one is at least usable, even if it's bad.
The 2nd one is fricking unusable because nobody can stand still and attack for long enough to justify that over the default gem. It's actually more mechanically shit than base double strike somehow.
they're slowly changing onslaught to this horrible momentum system, it's moronic
Yeah, Momentum Support is irredeemable shit and nobody even uses it on the Twilight Strand.
If they ever replace the Onslaught buff with Momentum, I can see them losing a few thousand players instantly.

I don't hate that sort of mentality since they're up-front about it, but I've played enough of the game that all the holes and pitfalls are so abundant and so glaring that the product just feels bad.

Whelp, guess ill just wait for a sequel to Grim Dawn.
I am so glad that games still exist that filter people like you this hard
ok junkie, i don't want to do things that arent fun, for extended periods of time, with no indication of when they will end, when playing videogames, im not a shit eater, its nothing to be proud of, you go eat shit allll you like, but you aren't better than anyone else for it.
This isn't Dark Souls. Cope.
unfathomable levels of seethe in this post. why are you typing the way somebody who is choking back tears speaks
>extended periods of time
Takes like 1 hour to level 20. 2 hours of you're new, but by then you should still be looking into how the basic game systems interact with each other
yeah dont listen to the people who say you get filtered, those builds are bullshit because they assume you're gonna be set up like streamies and clan players are going to be by end of day 1
as a solo player unless you do very specific things to get items you're essentially ssf for league start ,and so are just running the boring ass game for the first 5-10 hours
people who have their "money strat" and early game strats are right to do so, but as someone who just wants to play the game its incredibly lopsided in your returns, theres no real "mapper" end game even though people say there is, like there is but you dont just progress by mapping. i do it every league and never finish the atlas without actively trying to which feels shitty
that being said i wouldnt like it to be dumbed down anymore, i just wish the game itsself helped you along with pursuing a direction rather than relying on spreadsheet homosexuals explaining why 0.0037% in this thing creates a breakpoint in look quality that makes this 0.000001% drop item with this map modifier to potentially drop
>figuring out the EXTREMELY janky system to install an item filter, and nothing about perusing item filters was user friendly at all.
What? I just go to filterblade, add my account and upload it to my profile. I can then select it ingame. Its so moron proof I managed to figure it out while doing it for the first time on my steam deck.
PoE2 is going into the right direction, but PoE1 is a lost cause, and everyone defending the game is a helpless addict.
I'm gonna give it another try this league while doing ruthless. New / double ascendency could be fun and I heard you gotta do lab for it. I love lab and still have no idea why it gets criticised so much.
>a sequel to Grim Dawn.
homie you on the moon or something? New addon early next year and we just got a huge overhaul of the game.
the graphics for grim dawn are just dogshit, and the spells and button systems are solid, but lack the snappiness of D3+4, the UI is just dated, i have a 1440p ultrawide monitor and much of the game looks bad.
Its just not visually appealing to me, i play games like Wow classic just fine, not a problem, but Grim Dawn 2 is what i want, maybe the upcoming Titanquest sequel will be good too.
Posts like this make me glad I game on steam deck
>the UI is just dated
both the UI is fine and the graphics are fine. if you want actual dated UI and graphics then look at Titan Quest.
>and we just got a huge overhaul of the game
Stop saying this you homosexuals. There was no huge overhaul of anything. They added a dash evade mechanic and a mechanic that makes you take more damage to combat facetanking. That's it. Game plays almost exactly as it was before except you have to evade the sunder on celestial bosses. and even then you can still facetank if you just build for more defense.
>Game still slow as molasses
>No skill like contagion/essence drain in GD
It's shit
>game still doesnt have an inbuilt item filter, spend half an hour plus figuring out the EXTREMELY janky system to install an item filter, and nothing about perusing item filters was user friendly at all.
The game literally comes with an item filter you use a dropdown to select
>EXTREMELY janky system to install an item filter
bro....
Given how a new thread pops up every time one goes down, with little positive to say, it's safe to assume that these threads are created by hardcore addicts. They try to groom gullible people into this online casino that coats itself as a video game. You may think that you've seen a similar behaviour from other groups of people before, and I have to say, yes you are right. PoE addicts are just like trannies trying to lure people into their trap and groom them. Just watch how they dance around the game being free, and when called out it's not free, but you have to pay a little. And once you call that out, the price towers up to 60+ bucks. Worse if you already got suckered out some money.
Stay away from this.
poe is probably one of the most addictive games ever made, practically everything in the game functions like different types of slot machines except you never even get any money back. It's truly insidious
I have to agree. The dangerous part is probably that people get their brains rewired by PoE and their entire thought process revolves around the game.
If they are not actively playing the game, they are reading the wiki, checking news, watching guides or streamers, and go immediately back to grinding pixel with funny faces on them. This game consumes a certain type of person.
PoE will become their personality, and criticising the game, is criticising them.
you got filtered hard
back to dilator 3 and 4
You must have raped your dopamine receptors beyond recognition if you say something as moronic as that. PoE's good times are long in the past, and the recent two years have completely destroyed the game of all the soul it had remaining until then. Fricking hell, you sunk cost homosexuals disgust me to no end. You've come in the last three years to PoE at best, and think that it's even remotely good in its current state. Spare your parents the embarrassment, and have a nice day right now.
Remember the time before exile con? Quite hilarious if you think about it.
It really puts into perspective how many people were rushing here to declare GGG king and talk about how shit D4 was to the point I felt like I was on a 2nd Diablo sub only for a lot of people's expectations to be swiftly tempered. I'm sure some people are going to enjoy themselves, but perhaps next time they'll try not to put the company on a pedestal out of some weird sense of competition.
Don't forget to log into D4 and kill pronouns king "Xir/Xim" in the new #MountainDew sponsored event ya trannoid freakazoid.

D4 is such a bad game.

Thank god poe 2 looks nothing like poe1.
Yeah bro, totally different from the razor gayming gear running multiple times already with ggg. It shows that you are a blind fan girl, helplessly addicted to the slot machine. A battered wife jumping to the rescue.
What a clown world.
that's why I almost always play necromancer with a skill to throw out
Poe has a lot of problems but this is not one of them. Everything works as fine and as intended. Sometimes the intended purpose is moronic true but it still work.
>Everything works as fine and as intended
>it works
>no it does not
Give an actual example. There is plenty of reason for it to "not work" like the items being unidentified, level too high, you forgetting to hold the item pickup button etc.
Also guardians are supposed to destroy the items on death.
Playing Cyclone Slayer this league with the ascendancy that spawns phantasms on hit for permanent on kill uptime. Couple that with the new alt Cyclone + Stampede and Replica Badge of the Brotherhood I think it'll be nice
It's melee, but it'll be nice
>Cyclone Slayer this league with the ascendancy that spawns phantasms
Thanks I hated it
Poe has very good asthetics but every fricking build is some ugly shit like this
At least Poe2 looks good in that respect
Cyclone just feels too good to play
Sucks for doing actual endgame content but I can always transition into Flicker or something and go full glass cannon.
it's a free game that purely survives off of micro-transactions. how good could it ever possibly be?
PoE is frustrating by design. The actual issues with the game are, unfortunately, the fact that Tencent owns it now, as they own many others buying them up, pushing more and more microtransations and of course, being a Chinese holding company, complicit with the Uyghur genocide. More than likely there will be little time left before the game becomes truly pay to win (people claim you need those extra stash tabs, and I agree they are QoL improvements that should be in the base game, but I've never bought anything and have been playing off an on for many years) but there was a big issue from the start with being a Diablo 2 clone in the first place, and that is the gambling aspect, the mechanical addiction of a skinner box, the gatcha -bullshit.
These things (microtransactions for cosmetics, preying on weakness of an action rpg treasure-focused game with what, thirty currency items that don't really stack much?) is going to be ramped up to ridiculous degrees.
Right now the game is so fricking broken hardly anyone plays shadow class due to how near impossible it is to reach level 100. You have whole classes of characters that can't do the content. You need to run frost bomb to avoid an obvious mistake where a powerful monster can't be killed and will block all progress unless you can stop their life regen. Not to mention late-game maps which can have mindlessly random modifiers that make them impossible to run.
Honestly, I thing GGG used to be a decently fun company that were obsessive, mechanically minded, proud of their game's infamous complexity, a group of people that loved what they did, always improved the visuals and performance, and threw spaghetti at the wall with infinite brand-new league mechanics to see how players would respond. A bit like little trolls, but they had heart.
How likely is it that any of them will stay when China demands they milk the whales and make the game impossible without spending ridiculous amounts of money on stupid crap?
>pushing more and more microtransations
They're pushing less microtransactions than ever, they haven't added new stash tabs in over a year and aren't even doing league supporter packs
i agree with most of what you're saying, but i must say
chris is probably one of the few people on the planet that would have kept it alive as long as he has as a part owner and lead
him being part owner makes a massive difference but still, a head of a studio that is acquired by tencent and it not instantly nosediving from the MTX is pretty impressive ill say, though that just speaks to their genuinely impressive ability to make a game that is good enough for massive autists, but also just barely accessable to the masses that they might play here and there for a season
they've read the room right so many times that now they get to dictate how the future will happen
cute knight and good post
>You need to run frost bomb to avoid an obvious mistake where a powerful monster can't be killed and will block all progress unless you can stop their life regen. Not to mention late-game maps which can have mindlessly random modifiers that make them impossible to run.
bro why are you even writing this much about the game if you got filtered in act fricking two. just stop
Accurate, but really what other ARPGs are there that can even compete? There's only D2R, Project D2, and PoE. That's it besides maybe Grim Dawn and Last Epoch (haven't dove into them as much)
I agree it sucks that Tencent acquired them. I was b***hing about it all day on their forums and leddit, but I don't think it's affected their game as much as I thought it would

>tencent shills going into overdrive
sorry homosexuals, I won't be playing your free to play slop
Will there ever be an ARPG with fun gameplay instead of just mashing your screenclear button, movement button and potion button for 40 hours?
how would you make it fun
More focus on skill combos, intelligent crowd control, movement/positioning, kiting, etc
More mechanically involved boss battles
Remove hardcore mode as a genre staple because it just promotes boring risk averse gameplay, games like PoE are already balanced around alt+f4 anyway
And before some Chris Wilson dickrider replies with "but hardcore mode is needed for a functioning economy", the fact that an economy takes priority over actually fun gameplay in this genre is part of the problem
you say that like the meta isnt figured out within a week after data miners figure everything out and then people are compelled to play efficiently
efficiency ruined loot based games not anything else
>efficiency ruined loot based games not anything else
And you think the fact that if you aren't the most efficient possible you will die and lose all of your progress has nothing to do with that?
There isn't even anything inherently wrong with people treating the loot as a puzzle and wanting to find strong builds, otherwise there's not much point in having loot, the problem is that the entire structure of the genre discourages experimentation and individual discovery
where did i talk about hardcore at all in my post
fricking moron
I didn't talk about muh meta in my original post either, but fact is that people would be way more willing to try non meta setups if they weren't penalized as hard for doing so
>you say that like the meta isnt figured out within a week after data miners
you speak like someone who has no idea what they are talking about
you dont play this game
please no, PoE2 is already going the path of dodge button and I want to see less of that
>I want this genre to turn into something completely different
ARPGs are about the power fantasy, build creation and playing the economy, if you don't like those parts just play something else
I never said I wanted them to stop making games like that even if they're not to my taste, I just want some developer to use the advantages of the camera and control setup of the genre for something different.
Why bother, slot machine ARPGs are way more fun
Look at how Vampire Survivors exploded in popularity for having all of the addictive slot machine parts with none of the gameplay, that's what people want
Bullet Heaven's perfected the ideal endgame ARPG build: the autobomber
I don't understand why vampire survivors gets compared to ARPGs, it looks nothing alike except I guess it's a fantasy game with top-down camera.
Build creation with considerable randomness element
Permadeath
Large enemy counts
Power fantasy with particles everywhere
>As I read your list, I realized I had none of them.
you're describing poe 2 and it's going to crash and burn, people just don't play arpgs for tactical gameplay. It's a genre where you turn your brain off and watch particle effects
>It's a genre where you turn your brain off and watch particle effects
That's every genre now
>people just don't play arpgs for tactical gameplay.
If its gonna be halfway between elden ring and poe1 it'll be my dream game
You are definitely correct, as arpgs should go down the twin stick shooter route again. But homosexuals here and everywhere are frightened that they can't out grind the challenge anymore. I'm glad POE2 goes down that route.
You presumably could grind out the challenge, even if they make the combat more skill-based. See something like Nioh, which has a really deep and difficult combat system that you barely have to engage with if you get a strong enough build.
Kinda depends, Nioh 1 that was definitely the case but the game also threw so much bullshit at you at endgame that playing the game "normally" wasn't even fun anymore. Nioh 2 endgame is a lot harder to break and even the strongest builds still have to actually play the game.
>skill combos
have a nice day
Don't worry brainlet. You only need to watch a couple of tutorials from your favourite streamer man to understand it. If anything fails, you can still live through their achievements and call it a day.
>More focus on skill combos, intelligent crowd control, movement/positioning, kiting, etc

good choice honestly
the whole "haha we're nerfing your resistances by 60% so you're forced to build around it" is garbage design and always was
>play through campaign, have fun
I don't believe you, the campaign sucked arse
I played the old berserker on hardcore and did it all blind. the boss fights were intense. also campaigns are more fun if you dont do them 20+ times as a means to an endgame.
>the campaign sucked arse
The lore of the campaign is still insanely cool. I also like how campaign I can go from a to b looking for an exit and go for multiple areas in a row.
PoE maps in endgame are entirely too small for my liking. Something like an expedition mode would be cool where you get rewarded the more areas in a row you clear
kinda sounds like you want delve which is pretty viable as an endgame alternative to mapping
Delve to my understanding is all caves. I don't wanna look at brown and dark shit all day. Also doesn't delve have the weird mechanic where you can't stay too far from the light lest the monsters in the dark eat you?

>No diamonds at the end, only worthless rocks.
Quite accurate depiction
i love how poe hard filters dogshit pc builds
I recently tried this game coming from D2, enjoyed it for a while until I learned that picking up basically any item is a waste of time and its all about crafting. In D2 lots of yellow items are worth identifying even up to the highest levels. What kind of dogshit arpg drops loot that isn't even worth picking up? Just fricking lol, total dogshit.
that's a meme from people who engage with the game purely by watching streamers, picking up high level rares can absolutely be worth it if you get a couple of t1 mods. even more so now that synthesized mods drop
note: you will not get these t1 mods, not without go immediately buy a lottery ticket tier of luck
this is what I'm talking about, anybody who actually plays the game knows that t1 mods aren't particularly rare to find
hoo boy, t1 thorns and t1 light radius, dogshit everything else, and Harvest is still a shadow of its former self in case you actually find something with good mods
you're right bro it's impossible to get good items, I'm afraid the only option here is suicide
>that's a meme from people who engage with the game purely by watching streamers
Black person shut the frick up, I never watched any streamer play this and I inevitable had to look up why I have to sift through 500 yellow items an hour only for a majority of them to be completely worthless
>high level
Imagine a slot machine, where every pull of the level throws money at you but actually most of the earnings are fake and its on you to painstakingly find out which coins are actually real
>imagine a video game in the arpg genre
okay what now
>you have to be high level for loot to be worth picking up
My original point still stands. PoE is ass
high level items you moron
higher level items do not necessarily have higher tier rolls
>picking up high level rares
absolute poverty behaviour
>Trying to revive your almost 4 hour old post
Just stop.

Trust chris wilson's vision
They are way too obsessed with the economy. They're terrified of people actually being able to achieve goals. GGG believes that people will quit immediately if they ever achieve their goals, and thus they won't participate in the economy any more.
They're afraid of people being able to easily acquire items because it will destroy their vision of PoE as this weird fricking economy simulator where you have to literally play it like it's a job and earn chaos/hour in order to be allowed to do fun things.
They would solve almost every problem by just shooting anybody in their office that says the word 'economy' in the head immediately before they can finish their thought.
there'd be no-one left, they're irredeemable
well said
>Poe is probably one of the most restrictive games I've ever played
anon do you really think anyone doesn't know you are baiting?
Poop of Excrement
>You literally just use 1 meta skill and look for 2-3 modifiers on items for 40+ hours.
Not wrong. The thing I hate the most about PoE is how it's convinced an entire audiences the game is so "hardcore" when it's just an insanely shallow ARPG. I'll admit, sometimes the grind can be addictive, and some of the newer cosmetics look really cool. But with a little over 1,000 hours, it's just an insanely mediocre APRG compared to the rest. But I usually come back to see what they change every other league.
Anybody know of an actual roleplay build that also gets through ubers?
I really don't like how everything needs to be some version of minmaxed coc eye cancer with no consistency of a concept of a character your building up.
What the frick is a roleplay build?
A build that tries to emulate a concept of a character, you know, the RP part in action RPG and all.
For example look at the picture of characters in ascendancy portraits and try to match what skills/items they might be using. Like the assassin spec has glowing blue eyes and looks like he's wielding a two hander so maybe some flicker strike build with something related to the eyes, maybe energy blade I dunno.
I guess that makes sense, but doesn't sound too cool honestly.
:/
>the assassin
Is wielding a 1-h sword and throwing knives. So some kind of EK Cyclone thing.
I get what you mean now and sadly, PoE1 just isn't that. PoE2 however, looks like it might.
Yeah seems like it, but I don't wanna give up I'm gonna keep trying till I pull something off, just gotta get some more knowledge and better feel of the game under my belt.
I think the new chieftain ascendancy is noob friendly enough to mess around with.
>some more knowledge and better feel of the game under my belt
Yeah, that's why people suggest Boneshatter Jugg/Slayer/Zerker.
It's borderline braindead gameplay and relatively simple gearing.
I assume you mean any build that isn't too unconventional, so try Boneshatter Jugg, Zerker also works if you want to be squishier but easier to start.
any build is an rp build with enough matching cosmetics
Any kind of necromancer. You just get more and stronger skellies.
>concept of a character your building up
This is dead mainly because they made it too steep and RNG-locked.
>Most upgrades are either:
>Common Uniques you get super early on
>Gear rolls, which are a fricking nightmare to replace
>Sockets, which are a fricking nightmare to replace
>Super fricking rare Uniques that you build needs to be able to function without, likely you'll need to do a full build transition at some point to incorporate these, removing the entire concept of building up your character, since you gotta tear it down to respec for these items
Which way, PoE man?
there aren't any men that play PoE. it's all homosexuals, morons and midgets
Alright, I'm reinstalling
PoE isn't even remotely restrictive, and that's the problem. There's no balance between the skills, some beat the game's ass in with little investment and others can barely get through act 10 without some serious optimizing.
Melee is a huge meme though I agree.

You used to be able to play whatever you wanted but they stopped that because it resulted in less player "engagement" per hour since you could just beat the game on a 5link with out forced trading or forced grinding for .0002% drop items.
The game hasn't had a meaningful update in like 3 years, melee is still the worst in any modern game for example since they don't know how to fix it.

Don't care, still playing boneshatter.
>haha, this is not an online casino. You simply have to beat this aggressive rng where you roll more than twenty times an item, and it still turns out shit.
