[Megathread] Path of Exile

[Fencers]

I'm slightly nervous about this live stream. I somewhat worry that there won't be enough far reaching or fundemental changes to the game.

The towers thing really worries me. This just doesn't work and I desperately want GGG to stop pushing towers.

spoilers - new ascendancies leaked if anyone wants to peep. just the names/descriptions for now

[Fencers]

I shudder to think in light of the recent community poll: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...4/edit?tab=t.0

The third option for ascending in POE2 will be some busted version of Heist and not TOTA.

i dislike deli, but otherwise big yes on those results. sanctum and heist, while neat game modes that are well fleshed out, are trash IMO. if they make some heist bullshit be the third way to ascend i might lose my mind, i hate sanctum and ultimatum already.

Smith looks like ass.

Smith looks like ass.

on brand for warrior, i look forward to the reduced attack speed baked into the ascendency : 3

huntress seems neat, like amazon a lot from the description.

Lich looks like you need to be rich as hell to build.

bit way better seeming

Kalandra... don't you fucking dare.

i've seen "6 portals remaining" on multiple death screens, including that don't appear to be tied to boss maps. hopefully this means that they're doing away with the "1 death" mapping bullshit

[Fencers]

Oh, I like this concept of a PVP duel with a Rouge Exile.

Just remove the fucking towers!!

I don't understand why they are attached to this idea.

BUT SEXTANTS WERE PEAK DESIGN WHICH IS WHY THEY REMOVED IT FROM POE YEARS AGO

seriously i cannot with these people sometimes. they seem to just love some bad ideas and be so unwilling to let them go

MAP PORTALS ARE ALL BACK, BABY

i like scaling the number of portals based on difficulty, with fewer portals for juicier maps.

XP REMOVED FROM PINNACLE CONTENT, no loss/gain at all, great.

[Fencers]

Wait, a second. Did Mark just suggest the map isn't dead if you die in Co-Op anymore?

So frustrating. This is actually more steps. I almost got a headache midway through mark talking about it.

i enjoy their solution is

"ok, so you don't like this system so we're making you interact with it less and buffing it so maybe you'll like it then?" and like no nobody like sextants they were annoying and tedious even when they got moved to the regional watchstones in atlas 2.0 or whatever that was.

[Fencers]

Hmm. I might be more excited for recomb if I understood how the affix tiers work. What a weird system.

>simplify crafting

gucking gear games plz

>simplify crafting
>add recomb and fracturing orbs

it's fun trying to figure out which parts of the old crafting system they like and will try to mash into this new approach to crafting, especially when they don't really work with this new approach to crafting

fracturing orbs were already expensive high-end crafting that's very reliant on being able to create good bases to use on and then craft from there since it's so easy to brick items with them. i don't see how they're supposed to work with this system really.

same with recombinators. are we just gonna be picking up every damned base type with a decent few mods on it and slamming together constantly? that sounds tedious as fuck, man.

[Fencers]

It's interesting GGG seem to constantly think they will get something done on time and fail to get it done on time.

My brothers. You NEED a project manager(s).
