how much do I need to spend to be the best at this game?

>play Righteous Fire
>kill Shaper on a 1 alch budget

meanwhile meleecucks need a 6link just to reach 100k DPS...LMAO

The mapping this league is ass. League mechanic doesn't exist and my 89 dude is stuck in t8/9. What a shit show

I'm sure your walking simulator is fun but I wouldn't call it playing

watch me dupe this post

>They're extremely rare nets, trust us!

I bet they forgot to turn on the "twice as likely to drop uncompleted maps" feature

Now that we've established this league is already dead and PoE is on borrowed time, let's talk about upcoming arpg alternatives. I'll start with Wolcen - Lords of Mayhem:

Charan is playing it so you know it's good.

Uhm, sweetie...did you forget about scorching ray and orb of storms? I press more buttons than you do

I liked garbinger because it actually helped map progression, but GGG is fucking retarded so haha fuck mapping right.

BUY MY NEW ARMOR SET

I bet the "twice as likely to drop uncompleted maps" feature actually reduces map drops

yeah, it didnt buff their drop it simply nerfed completed drops
t. reverse engineer

Indeed map progression was better when it was a right and not a luxury and t15 maps cost 2c a piece. Why put effort into anything when it should be rewarded to you. People play video games for fun, not to stress out.

>Acendencies reworked
>New items
>New skills to try
>New Uber Elder
>But the league gimmick isn’t BREACH tier

WTF I hate POE now!

I use abyssus on hc

>Hey guys, we had a bug where the increased chance to drop uncompleted maps actually reduced the chance for new maps to appear by 50% instead
>No you aren't getting any compensation, fuck you lol

Not impressive unless your class is Berserker and not Juggernaut.

knowing ggg what seems more likely:
buffing something by 100%
nerfing something by 50%

keep in mind buffing helps the players or makes no difference
nerfing fucks everyone
cant imagine which one they chose

>new skills
all suck
>uber elder
top 1% will ever kill it
>ascendencies rework
t.elementalist

league gimmick is the least of the problems, no skill balance is the biggest issue for me

>Acendencies reworked
great, i love that Elementalist is unplayable now
>New items
and they're all trash-tier leveling uniques lol
>New skills to try
both are complete garbage
>New Uber Elder
that only .00000001% of the playerbase will ever see
>But the league gimmick isn’t BREACH tier
yes, the shit cherry on top of the shit pie

I just want to sustain my shaped waste pool forever for its comfortable layout, is that asking for too much?

>>FUCKING ALCH ORBS
Nets are a currency drop.

i mean youre lucky to be alive you fucking weeb degenerate

I have it. Personally I really hate the mana/rage system. It just makes NO sense to me. Also when I played Crossbows were godly and basic staff attacks were weak as fuck. Also the skill tree while neat, the spinning isn't that important besides just connecting. While points are more impactful than PoE I feel like they could be more interesting. Some are still very bland. Like elementalist or something got these elemental storms when they cast, like it just slaps a weird buff on you, nothing particularly interesting to build around.

this is what happens when companies have no competition, enjoy shit leagues until something can challenge poe

uber izaro crit one-shot me through 4.7k life backed by 1.3k ES and 40% MoM (1500 mana)

why did they give him so much damage

You guys remind me of new wave feminists, complain about how women are mistreated when it's convenient and suits you, but completely ignore all the good perks of being one. Are you a casual or are you not? Make up your mind.

Don't complain about content casuals don't get to experience while also spitting on content designed to bridge the gap between casuals and hardcore players. Don't shit on something not being END GAME UBER ELDER DELETION tier when you're too busy whining about how you're hardstuck in t8s.

I'm a casual. Some of the new fated uniques are good and I actually want to spend my silver coins now. The ascendancies that actually got reworked are nice, and for the first time in 2 years I feel like rolling a Champion. I don't care about Uber Elder because I never even beat Shaper and that content is not for me.

I like what 3.2 has to offer, Worstiary aside. You don't, but that's probably more because you're never satisfied by anything, which isn't really a quality in itself. Keep being overcritical all the time and pretty soon you sound like Charan bemoaning pixels getting hurt.

what should i try to enchant in labs, a rats nest or devoto's?

tldr
how much does GGG pay you to defend them on Veeky Forums

I do it for free. *tips fated Malachai's Simula*

the community doesn't just complain.

They fucking attack GGG

They meme shit like "omfg 1000 hours, you don't actually have a QA team, fuckign liars"

Chris will respond in threads and be personally fucking attacked. If I point this out, suddenly I'm a "white knight shill."

We got ascendancy rebalance, new uniques, new fated items, and a new experimental league mechanic. The game is arguably more polished, better performing, better graphically, overall in the best state it's ever been in, and the only thing that you see on this sub are negative posts and people saying they want to quit. In droves

It's disgusting. This community is disgusting. I hope GGG stops posting on here

edit: well from the responses to this seems I was right. I don't normally do this but let's look at some highlights from some messages and replies I received:

Holy fucking shit you a delusional retard. GGG fucking lied to it's players multiple times in the span of a few hours, and fucking released a train wreck of a league that might well tank the entire company

You white knights will never learn how moronic and useless you are until GGG folds up, and then all of you will be like "wow, I guess I was in the 4% of people that thought GGG can do no wrong."

your a huge white knight lol reeee oh not memes no other game companies get memed oh the horror. Their play testing is god awful everybody knew the first few days of the last 3 leagues clear problems that somehow the 1000 hour crowd missed

Other companies don't personally respond to members like GGG does, and put themselves out there, on a personal level, like their devs do. That shit matters. Context matters

I think you are just a beta cuck. Go look at nearly any other gaming community and tell me the shit GGG kicks, based entirely around game design, is anything remotely close to what riot'ers from LoL get or any other similar space

Not sure what to say to that, but you are welcome to come to Miami and call me a 'beta cuck' to my face

>league mods doesn't add mobs
>mob density nerfed
>biscos nerfed
>nets dilute currency pool
everything together is just too much. it doesn't feel rewarding at all never seeing even the mid-tier currency.

>I never even beat Shaper
Jesus Christ dude. If there is a top 1% you're the bottom 1%. You don't know anything and whatever you say ought to be disregarded.

why do people fucking copy and paste reddit posts

[Fluff] I don't know

If you're so good and part of the top 1% and the game no longer holds any interest for you, then feel free to leave. Nothing you say is of any importance either, because you're clearly too jaded to think clearly and no league will ever have enough new content for you. Congratulations, you beat Path of Exile, time to move on to something less casual.

I bet nets override map drops \_(ツ)_/

[Suggestion] This thread should get dumpstered because its no longer fulfilling any meaning purpose.

>bought an abyss supporter pack last league because i had fun
>they release this heap of trash
never again

[PSA] Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say

What do you know you haven't even killed Shaper. Either you are too bad to know what you are talking about or you just haven't played the game enough. And Im talking like, a level 91 character enough.

>Monsters are non existent
Now I realize why they never show how many monsters in total are in a map. Can you image the outrage once reddit finds out that 150 monsters suddenly disappeared over a patch?

What do I know about what? I'm not talking about end game knowledge, I'm talking about all the stuff they added that concerns casuals. You know, fated uniques and stuff like that. Just because you don't care about leveling trash uniques doesn't mean nobody does, the game doesn't revolve around you.

[Question] Why don't you just keep yourself safe in real life buddy?

there's clearly an unbalance in risk/reward with a lot of builds, I remember back in the times of kripp and Invalesco, shit like melee builds would shit out damage but be risky, while ranged cucks would be safe and offscreen the whole game but die to reflect. Now that most of the dangerous mechanics have gone, your'e left with 5 top of le cream builds that are safe and shit out damage while facerolling the game and you can watch porn or anime or netflix whatever.

I'm not against faceroll builds, I play them myself, but I just wish there was an incentive to play more complex and risky builds somehow, otherwise you just feel like a retard having to get stupid expensive uniques and shit just to be on par with the ezpc builds that clear the game withotu a sweat even on a 4L.

>first poe season
>no life for a week farming uber lab
>cant stop wont stop
>1000 chaos
>dead inside

why didnt u just make 2k chaos with the dupe dude? i made it in an hour

You're contradicting yourself. If most of the dangerous mechanics are gone, how come there are only 5 safe builds? Why are we seeing a resurgence of RF and SR and totems/summoners when those never cared about reflect?

youtube.com/watch?v=-X2atEH7nCg

Desecrate worth deleving from 20 to 1/20% as a summoner for the 20% cast speed?

>1000 chaos
gz on your 1/4th of a headhunter. only 3 more weeks to farm at your pace.

I guess my luck was above average, but I was getting breaches approximately once every 3 maps last night. the same with abyss cracks.
life is good

i'm not reading his reddit post, but several things can be happening at the same time. those builds are just retardedly strong for end game content right now.

>tfw league mechanics so shit you're more satisfied with older league gimmicks showing up

got an essence of horror

Yeah I don't care about trash uniques, and you do. Thats why I disregard all of what you say. Nah I mean, theres another shitty 1 alch unique in the game that couldn't possibly enable any sort of build or be useful at all outside of an hour or so of levelling? Ok fine. Thats great. And actually the failure of bestiary isn't what makes me mad. Its that they put work into it and its so bad. put work into the core game and make it good. that would have been better. bestiary is just a slap in the face after everything. its not bestiary alone, its really not. its density nerfs, build nerfs, sextant nerfs, insane boss hp buffs that was totally unnecessary. throw all of it together and yeah its why im losing interest probably tomorrow or the next day is my guess.

essence is superior to this league is every single way

should've leveled 2 desecrates fag
secondaries weapon slot gems also gain exp

first season of poe, 4 of the 7 days were spent leveling, i dont even know what a headhunter is but you sure showed me

happens more often too, which is the most ridiculous thing. you get a breach/abyss/screaming essence more often than a red beast.

oh and the rewards for a random red beast are fucking non-existent.

>secondaries weapon slot gems also gain exp

been playing since beta and did not know this

I knew I was just doing resale gems. Fuck.

Post dat grinding music boys

>its density nerfs, build nerfs, sextant nerfs, insane boss hp buffs that was totally unnecessary.
Ah, there we have it. You've set up your mindset to game the system and always be in the top 1% and be the best 5-sextanted Vault runner who generates 500 exalts a league and laughs at the noobs who don't even get to see 1/100th of that. When the nerfs inevitably come, you stomp your foot on the ground because it's totally unfair and how dare they nerf your fun. You've literally set up yourself to never be satisfied no matter what. It's time to move on.

>he doesn't level Empower/Enlighten in is secondary weapons slot using 2 Haku weapons
Desu you've been missing out so much

what were they thinking man. thats what i really want to know. just draw me a picture, ggg, of what you thought it was going to be like. 'uhh well we thought people would spend hours in maps catching every beast rare or no and then rush off to the menagerie to craft useless rares that wouldn't even show up on an item filter' really? thats what you thought?

I don't listen to music made by sexual abusers
alice-glass.com/cc/

no matter what they do Ill still be richer than you, or whoever. the games economy is a ladder and even if they narrow the skill gap to the point where the best player has one more transmutation orb than the worst you're still going to feel it because the gg item is going to cost that one more transmutation orb than you have.

of course way before that happens me and a bunch of other people will just quit and then you can enjoy not killing shaper in your dead game

What's the atlas meta this league? Complete or selective shape and farm?

Wait, THATS why ive been starving in alchs?

can i make strongboxes into rare uniques?
and if its possible is it expensive as fuck?

What are you threatening to quit the game to me for? Do I give a rat's ass about you? I literally told you 3 times now to leave if you're unhappy. You don't matter and you won't be missed, you stupid new wave feminist. The world doesn't revolve around you, ergo it works just fine without your presence.

sShape Vault, complete nothing else

monster numbers are pretty much the same, just get bisco's leash

How though? I was 88 and only found 3 of the beasts needed for the dupe

i'd be ok with running vault for the rest of my life t b h, if i actually knew how to sustain it

he's memeing you, vault is so dead that I even started feeling slightly bad for laughing at vaultists.

I figured it out, guys. We should all be running clean white maps and doing chaos recipes. Surely it would be more profitable in the long run?

and spend 5 hours killing a rare beast to be able to get a +4 maxlife amulet at 80+, just the way pt intended the game to be played

>tfw want to do chayula but worried build wont hit dps req for timer

Does windripper intentionally rip off that bow from Kharazan in Burning Crusade, or is that just a coincidence. I know GGG steal doors but i don't know if they steal bows.

yes

if PoE was a TV show what show would it be like?

I doubt there's a trademark on bows with winged features that you could trace it back to that one weapon in WoW. If you want artistic content that GGG has "stolen" then look no further than Dark Souls.

>3 days ago: enter dinonigger map, crash and can't complete the map
>Today: "Sure they fixed it in the last 3 fucking patches?" Crash and can't complete the map

>he's not playing pure scorching ray trickster (that got stupidly buffed this patch btw), the comfiest build being able to run every possible map, has good mapclear, and has good single target.
???

>Dinonigger map
The bird? If you're getting this problem, then change around your DX options in game. I went from DX9EX, to DX9, and it worked.

>hes not playing bruce lee without skills with flat strenght and dexterity
