Major PoE2 Patch, Going Over My Predictions

[@Fubgun]

Really exciting news if we're potentially getting a major patch this month, really hoping to see huntress and balance changes. What do you think will happen? Streaming: www.twitch.tv/fubgun

[@raggy-ganadalf]

I agree with all of your hopes and would add 3 things. 1.) More quality of life with the Atlasmap, like further zoom out and a simplified minimap for better navigation. 2.) Checkpoint in maps for fast travel to get back to that one rare monster I somehow missed at the beginning of a big map. 3.) Reviving party members in maps. It's so anti-social when you run maps with friends and if someone dies he just has to wait in the hideout until the map is finished. (Experienceloss would stay of course.) Thx for you build guide and content, I am enjoying it a lot, although I am at a point now where it is too expensive for a casual player. =) I almost forgot: Please give us Niko (Delve) as well as Cassia (Blight)! :)

[@PescaitoFrito]

I hope they can address the issue with the game performance, especially with the juicer maps we make with 6 modifiers+delirium+breaches+ full atlas explicit 3%+monster packs, rare packs, etc,etc.

[@mikeworkman1759]

I rage quit yesterday when a map with 3 breaches froze up and exited me to log screen, logged back in and all the loot and portals were gone even though my character didn't die as I didn't lose any experience 😞

[@BlueCloverOnline]

I have leveled ranger, merc, sorc, and monk to 85+ and built them all. My only hope is that at least one of them will still function after the patch. I might make a new ranger to try pathfinder if they are all bricked and we still cant swap ascendancy, assuming no new class is released Edit: "Herald skills can no longer inflict any types of ailments" will for sure be apart of this patch Hoping that is all they change with heralds

[@MrF00tie]

The actual "problem" with heralds is that they do WAY too much base damage (286% for HoI and HoT) as well as easily scalable damage (by Innervate, Frostbite, notables like e.g. Stormcharged) as well as being able to crit and all that at no real cost. Heralds inflicting other ailments is fine and intended.

Problem is - we dont know when this patch will go live, if its 1-2 weeks - i dont believe we will see huntress and druid but if its like month than ok, maybe. I prefer lowing expectations, so i guess we will see bugfixes, nerfs of op stuff, rebalance(buff) of skills, especially early game like on warrior and merc you just do basic attack, fixes for essences, strongboxes and ritual, breach nerf and maybe overall game speed nerf and some fixes to endgame like towers.

Hello, I would like to ask for your thoughts on the "Turbo" jewel being equipped in a Thunderfury build, providing a massive increase in projectile speed. Theoretically, when combined with the Feathered Arrows keystone, it could grant over 100% increased damage. Or is it the case that the projectile speed modifier from this jewel does not apply to the damage bonus from that keystone? Thanks u!

[@samgreen8582]

I think you're forgetting the game hasn't launched, new league? It's in early access. Maybe poe 1 league getting added. They've still gotta iron out all the kinks with the base early access version. I.e. fixing broken things, broken mechanics, over performing skills or builds, under performing skills. Basically starting to finish what should be in hard launch. Not to mention all the things people want changed, which is a lot at this point.

[@therocklau]

Electrocute, this new mechanic is a problem and might be a mistake, and is why people stop playing cold stuff, cold can freeze but lightning can "freeze" too, and lighting do more damage, can anoint lucky to have 20-30% more, has built-in shock as damage boost, and lightning spells have better feels to play namely spark, it's just so much better in almost everything than cold. And it's so easy you just put on a kitoko glove that's it, you start immobilizing bosses, with lower end investment (other than howa mostly), It might be the bis for every lighting hit base build.

Against the darkness single cold as extra mod is 5+div And i dont even wanna beggin to say how fucked up is the pricing on every other piece of gear. For the amount of investment that you have to put into your character, deadeye is literally the worst.

A fresh start would be awful for the majority of the new players and will kill the hype of the game. So doubt that one. Act 4 is not going to happen, because if you don't reset the economy, why would anyone go back to play that Act? So it's a waste of time to just add it now. Also, 1-3 and 1-3 Cruel makes sense in that order. Act 1-4 and Act 1-2 Cruel is just weird. Also, they gotta think of marketing. They learned, they need to make these patches/updates so large that people will talk about it. But, I'm super excited what they are going to do, because they have always been doing way more than I thought was possible with every single patch/update. So glad we got GGG 🙏😊

For context for those interested to know more about different version number changes and what each position generally and usually means I provided some info below. TLDR: this is most likely just a major balance/bugfix/game issues improvement patch likely will be no new content or character classes. When that happens you will see the version number likely go to 0.2.0 for example or whatever arbitrary number GGG decides to bump the 1 up to. The numbers in a version typically represent a semantic versioning system, which is widely used in software, including game design, to communicate the nature and scope of changes in updates. The format is usually Major.Minor.Patch (e.g., `v0.1.1`), and here's what each component typically means: 1. Major Version (0 in v0.1.1): - Indicates significant changes, overhauls, or milestones. - Could involve breaking changes, new mechanics, major design shifts, or features that make the game incompatible with earlier versions. - Incremented when the product reaches a new stage (e.g., from pre-release to release, or a new expansion). 2. Minor Version (1 in v0.1.1): - Represents smaller updates that add new features, content, or enhancements without breaking existing functionality. - Examples include new levels, weapons, characters, or modes that build on the current foundation. 3. Patch Version (1 in v0.1.1): - Indicates bug fixes, optimizations, and small tweaks that don't add new features but improve stability, performance, or player experience. - Examples: Fixing a crash, balancing gameplay, or resolving visual glitches. Example Scenarios in Game Design: - Going from `v0.1.0` to `v0.1.1` typically means a small patch, such as: - Fixed a bug causing crashes during boss fights. - Adjusted the damage output of a weapon for balance. - Going from `v0.1.1` to `v0.2.0` indicates a minor update, such as: - Added a new map or game mode. - Introduced a new character or expanded narrative elements. - Going from `v0.2.0` to `v1.0.0` would likely mark the first stable release: - The game transitions from early access or beta to a full release. - Includes all core features and polished gameplay. This system helps players and developers track the scale and impact of changes, making it easier to manage updates and expectations.

Im down for new league and huntress. I want new economy this is not okay.

[@BloodFireDeath_]

it will still be the same economy hell. Especially now since people know what to do. It will only get better if they remove rarity stats from gear and tone it down in general

[@kxrizmuh877]

Please buff chromomancer. The power difference between stormweaver and chronomancer is insane.

[@bysleepy8941]

Bullshit, as a lvl93 chronomancer myself, chron is stronge asf and I hope they won't nerf it. Chron might not have the stormweaver clear speed with archmage spark but bossing is one of the strongest out there if you ignore all the mirror build doing billions of dps. Go check out the 1div chronomancer challenge. I'm playing that build right now, I spent about 7div so far and I can already do 4 man hp difficulty 4 on all boss before the time freeze even ends. It is just that strong with only 7div budge. I still haven't seen one single pinnacle boss make 1 move before the fight ends.

Me crying in a corner after farming and getting hand of wisdom and it get Nerf soon

[@BloodFireDeath_]

no one said it is definitely getting nerfed, relax kid

[@heatnoob_na]

what about the Chayula monk, what a shitty ascendancy.

[@rom.e3363]

If warrior get nerfed AGAIN then its time to put that character aside. Warrior already weak. Nerfing HOTG is ridiculous because it requires alot on investment.

[@michael8985]
