Best campaign since D2
@TKnightTea3 күн бұрын
Act 1 was the best in terms of how the game feels and how big the act is, imo from that point the game goes downhill a bit in terms of game pace, balance, one shot enemies, gigantic maps, also from what iv seen the late game is very similar to poe1 making the new features such as active blocking, stun resistance, dodge roll obsolete since it comes to the same conclusion insta kill or die in one hit. As a new player I tried to play as a warrior going heavy into defences , health and survivability, - picking some damage nodes too to have some output damage and it was going pretty ok until act 3 where I felt like everything was getting worse and worse, I was dying fast and I was doing like 0 damage, after somehow finishing the act I was totally useless in act 1 cruel doing 0 damage and dying from white mobs and I gave up.

Idk, you guys are right about there being a missing puzzle piece.

As it can get so large, chances are it wont be gone before it resets if you build around it.

14:06 (re: map layout) something i only realized while playing Last Epoch is that having the feeling of going in a specific direction and making spatial progress makes moving through an area a lot more enjoyable. LE has maps that are just arena fights. waves of enemies coming at you without any need to go in any direction. these are generally disliked by the community, because it feels like you are waiting for the map to end rather than making progress through it. on the surface the gameplay is the same - monsters appear and you kill them. but it's less fun for some reason. it's because you don't have the feeling of going somewhere and doing something in particular. poe 2 maps aren't quite as bad because it's not just timer based wave defense but it suffers from a similar problem. poe 1 maps all are completed by killing a boss, so even the big open round or maze-y maps have a feeling of spatial direction and a feeling like you have a particular goal you are making forward progress towards. the poe 2 campaign feels alright because you are entering a zone and looking for the next one to progress. in maps just killing all the rare mobs for completion makes it feel more like hide and seek with no way to know how many people you have left to find. and then you realize you missed one on the other end of the map so you backtrack for a while. it's not very satisfying minute to minute progress.

It seems like the best way to keep the endgame concurrent with the campaign combo style combat would be to reduce map size, reduce mob density, and increase the value/difficulty of individual mobs.

and GGG with their arrogance will not do that, becuz in their mind it means giving more "free" loot, more "free" QoL to the player. I remember when they revamped the Harvest mechanics several years back, they had to "balance" it out by nerfing harvest craft extremely bad and making them too expensive even for the dedicated harvest farmers. That's just one example, but it has been a common trend they followed since the very start of PoE 1. With their mentality of no improvement without a trade-off, they simply cannot make a casual-friendly game.

@@Kuzka_ it isn't really balanced around the top 1% no matter how the game is "balanced" the top 1% will always dominate, that's just the name of the game.

It insane good items are abundant the goal of getting such items suddenly become irrelevant. Same goes for chase uniques, if mageblood / headhunter etc. Suddenly we're something everyone could get, it wouldn't be special and they wouldn't be chase unique. So there needs to be a balance between having everyone having access to such items and almost no one. That balance wasn't really there back in old harvest for instance. Creating a 1-1200phys DPS weapon wasn't really an achievement because so many could do it, nullifying the satisfaction of grinding enough and learning enough to be able to craft such an insane weapon.

The rune system could be super cool if the fleshed it out properly. They could make it so you could delete gear to keep runes or delete runes and keep gear. That way, players had some agency over the feature and it would also create demand for runes. They could also add stronger but rarer runes into the game. It would allow some players to upgrade weak gear to push harder content in a way that is deterministic. Or to just fill out some necessary stats. I haven't really had a chance to look at the ultimatum drops because the content is too risky for my character right now.

on the topic of the loot filter thing and wh y they arent doing it th ey actually talked about it in the Q/A on the announcement and they basically 1. dont want to invest time into something that is already being done and that will likely be better than what they will do with it and 2. like the way never sink does it allows for a lot of functionality that would be time consuming for GGG to implement such as players being able to edit their filter and customize it themselves. For GGG to do that they would essentially have to create neversinks site over again and while they said they can do that they feel its not worth the time when they believe they will do it worse than how its already being done.

@zengrath3 күн бұрын
I can only hope that they simply only threw in the end-game mechanics and haven't tried to balance it yet and they plan to. As of right now it is disappointing how end-game turns into POE 1 gain, you still collide with monsters yet some maps, breaches, etc. is so mob dense you can't move, and forget dodging anything anymore, you can't track 50 mobs on your screen at once especially since they are randomized so they are all different, you can't possibly predict and avoid taking dmg from everything. And like you guys said your usually killing things too quickly to actually do any combos or use slower skills in mapping as no point. The amount of death explosions are insane too, like it's not fun but annoying to have to stay back constantly giving several seconds after each mob dying before you move past them or collect loot. and what's with that one map that requires you to pull 3 huge lever wheels? that's annoying as heck and you can get attacked while doing it. So bottom line, i am hoping GGG didn't intend it this way, that they just got mechanics in game and plan to fix end-game to make it more in-line with campaign. I am okay with getting powerful in end-game where you can start killing quicker, moving faster, etc. but i think they should make mobs still easier to read, like perhaps cut down on quantity of mobs but beef them up more and balance the loot around that, so less mobs and you can actually read what's going on in the screen. I know, we all like more mobs = more loot, but they should cut it down while balancing loot with it so loot doesn't feel worst.

As far as the crafting bench goes - I think the thing is the systems are in place in PoE 2. They just don't drop or don't work as they should. You have things that make crafting deterministic, but they never drop. And you could socket as if you bench crafted, but it's prohibitively difficult, so you can't really do that. That's a number tweaking solution the way i see it.

Have to say thanks for this talk, I thought i'm the only one feeling this way and thought I've gone crazy. Especially after I posted my feedback on reddit and got reponses in a style "How dare you post your feedback!" :D At the moment I feel like PoE 2 campaign and PoE 2 Endgame are two very different games. The endgame is kinda good and fun, but it does not fit into what the campaign created. The flow is gone, the combos are gone (well you can't use them safely, you don't have time for it), the feeling is just weird - especially when you open a breach for example :) I still enjoy it - cause I very much enjoy PoE 1 endgame - but it is just not PoE 2. It is PoE 1 but worse.
@josephfurtado33193 күн бұрын
I think you remove runes from gear, add the crafting bench back and as you collect runes you will get "crafts" for each rune type. Keep sockets for Soul Cores, but make it so it is one or the other. If you have a soul core socketed you cant craft a rune on it, and visa versa. This will make it easier as you find upgrades, but gives "endgame" still the sockets for soul cores

24:36 i found one omen that when in your inventory and you exalt something it will only add suffix to an item. Not sure yet how that's useful to me but that's what i got. I am still sadly finding exalts too rare to craft, like i can pick up items and slam blues and if blues are okay slam a yellow, but then even if i get a good 3 stats on an item, it needs more then 3 stats to be able to replace my current equipment and exalts for me have been as rare as POE 1, so as someone who doesn't trade, i got a bunch of potentially good items in my storage simply waiting for exalts to determine if they beat my current equipment or not, this keeps leading me to think they balanced game still around trading, because if i was trading i'd have no issue getting a few exalts as needed to keep crafting better stuff. but i don't do trade.

The new dodge roll is way better, the main issue was that you were getting stuck in small corridors or invisible things. I like the idea of getting boxed in being a skill issue but not with fast monsters and not in corridors. On the other hand I don't think they should add grenades or other skill specific nodes on any ascendency, having each ascendency doing something unique is way better, like if you had a necromancer that had 50% more damage and hp to minions, you'd almost never consider chronomancer or gemling as a minion build. They could add a node with less skill effect duration, that would be great with grenades but you'd also consider frost bomb for example. Or for a more fancy one something like "your duration skills repeat an extra time with 50% less damage after expiring".

For the nerf discussion, I find I'm in the opposite side. I'm playing Infernalist with Flameblast ignite and it's so underpowered compared to gas grenade or the infernalist + arsonists minions. I don't know what's considered the "normal/ethical" build either. Is Ignite just poorly balanced? Are arsonists overpowered? Where's the actual balance supposed to be? I don't want to swap to infernalist easy mode just for it to be nerfed next week. It's clearly not as broken as CoX comet, but it's very clearly stronger than Flameblast.

I think the biggest problem is loot in maps. Trying to get through the first couple tiers is brutal, I get double the loot from 1 run through black chambers than what I get from 2 or 3 t1 maps. I've done about 20 maps so far and only 1 has been a t2, and I bought a t4 from doryani. Other than that, I'm lucky if I get a single waystone in a map, whereas I can do 1 run through black chambers and get 2 or 3 t1s

For crafting, they dont want you hideout warrioring for hours trying to make items, spamming thousands and thousands of alts and essences until you have to hit a 50/50 harvest bench craft after locking suffixes and then scouring when you fail and starting over. They dont want that type of gameplay in poe 2. Its a different game. They want you actually playing the damn game and finding things to try to make better or crafting a base from scratch and if you dont hit the right mods, oh well, go back into maps and play the damn game and find another base to try again. The runes are literally the crafting bench for resistances they just need to make runes replaceable. They dont have to be removeable, we just need to be able to destroy the current rune and put a new one in.
