I'm watching the Act 1 boss fight and I'm so tired of bosses monologuing through the entire fight. When did this start being common?

[Breathe]

Knew he was a dirty cheat

[Stack of Turtles]

because I was so distracted by his pronouncing guillotine "gill-a-tine" instead of "gee-a-tine"

I pronounce it as gill-a-teen

it's gwill-o-teen.

I would generally agree with you, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized the pauses in his monologue indicated when he was about to attack. Neat little tie-in between story and gameplay.
Fully Immersed. In my lane. Taking wolf hits and basking in lore at the same time.

I agree in part. He speaks too many words imo. The writing should be more succinct.

I'll play Diablo 3 with my tiny brain where the action is fast and I can face roll the enemies

PoE has always been woke. The "Sin" is the representation of LGBT sodomy and the fall of the Church. Women are everywhere. Female classes talk like feminist *****. Just listen to the witch in PoE 2 talking about "strong minded women" in act 2.

The Count has gone mad! He's a tyrant! He's...



...enforcing moral standards?

Wokeslop.

twig should add it to his list. I guess PoE2 is an RPG technically.

Good catch, I haven't read a single thing anyone said I just skip through.

Why pay for an Early Access game when the game will actually be F2P?

[pizzapepperoni]

Why pay for an Early Access game

to play it earlier
and it also gives you 300 donation currency

It also seems to be yet another setting where human belief creates deities. It hasn't revealed yet what the religion of the Eternals was, but they seem to be a Roman Empire analogue, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up being the evil monotheists to the poor suffering pagan Ezomytes. I hope it doesn't end up being such a tired inversion, but Una in the camp sure talks up her druidic animist religion a lot.

[Yankee Zulu]

Talking about feminism the viper ***** is probably the hardest boss in the game right now. Act 3 final boss is a cakewalk in comparison.

[Plzen]

Game's pretty fun. I thought PoE sucked and dropped it a few hours in each time I started, but 2 plays really well. Melee feels like it takes ages to reach a decent build compared to ranged, though.

[Breathe]

Welcome @Plzen

I dropped PoE 1 the first time too, then picked it back up a year later and loved it (all of the Acts were done by then). I was watching Lobos play warrior and you're right. Until he had boneshatter and high stun he was slow going.

[Nooneatall]

The game filtered me after I kept dying to trash mobs I'm changing my review from it's good to "it's trying to be dark souls." I have no patience for any dark souls game except dark souls (especially when you can get ****** up on a dodge roll from a lag spike). I also don't like to play with other people or trade which was also suggested. @Decline was right and I was wrong, I'm fat and he's buff, I'm ugly and he's handsome, etc etc

[Yankee Zulu]

I have a strong feeling the game WILL become easier with time. Right now they only have a smudge of content - 3 acts. Without this artificial difficulty people would have finished it in a few days. But they need to keep people online. That is the key in tgis particular game. More peolle online = more cash shop purchases. That's why the grind will always be there.

[Zothique]

I thought ****** made this game. Why is there feminist **** in it? I seem to remember the Witch from POE1 had some sort of pseudo-political stronk fronthole ******** too, but I can't remember. Unremarkable game.

The Count did nothing wrong.

I'm not sure how weapon switching would work with the passive tree. All my passives so far boost projectile damage, so I don't really have any reason to switch out my crossbow.

This is why I actually hate this particular design paradigm: Skills that simply flatboost your thing are BORING and result in bland character builds. These skills tend to create a game balance where you're required to take these skills for the thing to not suck ***. Therefore, you no longer can do anything else because all of your skilltree space is taken up by boosting the thing, and so you can only do the thing. Any potentially interesting behavior is therefore entirely obliterated in favor of spamming the thing. Like take you have an monster that takes double damage from thing A, and half damage from thing B. The clear intent is that the player should switch to using thing A. The problem is that he has +1500% boost to thing B, because he's a Thing B build, so **** it, just spam more Thing B and gripe about how annoying this monster is, because you're too far invested into B for any switch to be practical. Using thing A under any circumstances is basically pointless because of your whopping +0% boost to it because you put all your points into B. And don't even think about splitting the points, that just makes you suck at both.

[TKVNC]

Game feels, looks, sounds, and plays pretty nice, but there's some serious flaws.

Melee only has 2 abilities worth anything, and auto-attack is the highest DPS until level 20-ish.

38 DPS at level 10 is ********.

Try leap spam -> boneshatter combo. Play with the supports to set it up how you like it

Can do armor explosion on stun, or just more aoe damage.

Perfect strike is actually incredible even though it baits you by looking like a fire skill

Oh, at the moment AA is literally the best DPS, I hope it gets better though, so we'll see.

Shame no swords yet.

Somehow I doubt the speed of light is the issue here

The diabetes does make my hands shaky and slow it's probably a me problem and the game is actually 10\10

My monk is level 50 something and AA has more than 2k dps. Im not doing elemental monk, I went physical dmg + daze + stun. The point is monks unarmed attack makes his AAs go into projectiles which can hit several enemies.
