PoE 2's First Endgame Patch Now Live And It Ticks A Lot Of Good Boxes For Smoother Mapping

[@panda93247]

3:22 - HOLY SH** A JACKET!!!

[@datyukianesa]

one thing i noticed, some maps has noticeably more rares (saw a huge difference in oasis map), now each individual layout feels unique in some way or another

[@hexcaster7718]

Yes its what the patch notes say

[@emanate0]

pretty sure the coc nerf was specifically for infinite loops ayo they added waypoints to maps? i suggested that on forums lol they really do care

[@chaosmii]

Adding waypoints for giant maps full of dead ends doesnt really solve the issue of giant maps full of dead ends tho

[@emanate0]

@@chaosmii not having waypoints makes maps take a lot longer when you have to backtrack so your point is moot. maybe you can apply to ggg so you can explain to them how to configure ai generated maps to not have dead ends

[@dshearwf]

@@chaosmii the main thing those checkpoints in maps do, is refill your flasks/charms/mana+hp and that is a god sent.

[@chaosmii]

@@emanate0 ya its my fault this small indie company brand new to arpgs are making all the same mistakes they made with poe 1 for 10 years, i should have applied to ggg when wilson was running a d2 rmt diablo ring, my bad fanboy. and the other guy... who... needs hp/mana/flasks while mapping? fix your build.

[@youradhere3476]

all maps should be long corridors. peak game design.

[@Ancile4558]

Hey mathil, it's guys here once again

[@Kamil_O]

this guy thorns

[@Omega-616]

I was using painter's gloves on my monk cause I wanted to do a tri-ele thing, very nice that that got buffed.

[@alcodark]

that molten blast needs a bell :p

[@phillipcrofts147]

What’s that white cape? It’s cooool

[@ShuShuNu]

Which loot filter?

[@WILLTHECANADIAN]

Mathil’s youtube titles are so long they don’t fit on mobile it’s like the opposite or clickbait

[@APJ9000]

Strongboxes have been good to me as long as i juice them. Couple of div and a perfect jewelers

[@voidroad]

good patch but no changes to crafting ironically the worst part of this loot based ARPG is... the loot and craft

[@masdabugg8618]

HOW CAN YOU ZOOM OUT THIS FAR???????

[@midknightcrisis8612]

That - was part of the patch notes, did I miss a joke? ^^"

[@masdabugg8618]

​@midknightcrisis8612 my atlas cant zoom like that. Apparently it's still stuck like that for a bunch of people

[@marlcoore]

Yeah mine doesn't zoom either. If anything it's zoomed in more.

[@sabihrashid252]

Game feels much easier, but feels less stable. Been crashing a lot.

[@_alex_y.not_]

I'm getting these very annoying microstutters. Game ran a lot better prior to the patch. Hopefully some hotfixing does the trick.

[@AggyLovesGames]

Interestingly, my game is running much smoother post patch. Micro studders are almost gone.

[@deerlow1851]

opposite for me

[@dshearwf]

It's really time for the next weapons/skills. Like every single build converges to HoI/HoT+Howa or Archmage (only exception are poison builds kinda, but they are also very limited in skill choices). Even my phys bone mage is running archmage now because it is so muuuch damage I cucked myself out of and that steals any and all identity from all builds.

[@captainjack1870]

another shit build hell ya :D

[@sethjones6711]

As a click to move elitist the only patch note that will ever matter to me is click to move improvements

[@cashandraven2369]

Lots of good things, but not the things I feel needed to be worked on right now. The early game is still stupidly jacked gear is utter garbage, performance is absolute trash, ect. End game doesn't mean much when 99% of people just aren't gonna make it there because the early game is just too painful. They grabbed low hanging fruit, will have to wait and see what the next patch aims at.

[@electro_spectre]

what do you think is jacked in early game? I've played up to 33ish on each class and the campaign feels absolutely incredible compared to endgame and to PoE1's campaign (not at all competitive with PoE1 endgame though) including Sorc SSF. Early game felt like it was busting my balls in December but now it's pretty smooth with experience with the game imo

[@LpSuffle]

Checkpoints not quite there yet, breach nerfed to the ground and not enough buff for the rest of the mechanics. I don’t know why not just removing most if not all of the on death effects and instead just making them more visible (at least, but…)

[@dck7048]

breach is the same shit quit smoking

[@Jase03]

Breach nerfed to the ground??? Yea you are smoking some huge blunt there my friend.

[@esquillo3708]

Breach still good, and also still the best exp farming mechanic
