Nah its good, nerfing some dumb ****. but buffing many of the underperforming skills (which is why people are only using the dumb ****). Crossbows are about to feel great instead of people spamming only grenades, Chaos spells will hopefully be usable (they are not right now). More stuff for physical monks would be nice, overall I think this is a good change.

The mention of crossbows reminds me of Grim Dawn. I want another one badly. Loved that game and the builds you could make.

Mercenary despite looking like a ranged attack class, has an ascendancy option that can be used for nearly every build in the game.

Ascendancy? Might be the gemling legionnaire?

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 ********.
Yeah, Monk felt this way for me until basically the end of Act 1 when you get a few skills that actually allow gameplay beyond autoing white mobs for entire areas

ATTENTION *******!

Our beloved trade macro (Awakened POE Trade) is FINALLY getting an update for PoE 2:

https://kvan7.github.io/Exiled-Exchange-2/download

It's now called "Exiled Exchange 2" and a new dev accepted the challenge of the original and received the metaphorical torch. It's looking pretty rough atm but the interface is familiar and will (hopefully) be improved to the same level as APT. Plus I didn't find anything less sucky, so...

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.
Indeed it will become easier after they add new classes and items therefore we will make new builds with many different playstyles.

Diablo 3 did at least one thing better than poe 2 - world interactivity. I remember you could brake so much stuff in diablo 3. You could also jump off the ledges and ****. PoE 2 feels static. I mean its 2024, monk in this game can do a vault slam but jumping off the ledge is impossible. You have to run around it. Innovation.

I killed Rathbreaker, the desert raider centaur. The boss himself wasn't too bad, but the untargetable spearchuckers on the cliff were very annoying, and the horde of hyena demons he summons halfway through the fight would have been impossible to handle solo before the dodge roll buff. I would have been trapped and killed every time if I couldn't roll through them. I ended up running down to the lower area to clear the horde before coming back up to fight him again. His health had reset to full, so I don't know if that was the intended way to fight him, but he didn't summon the horde again, so I was able to finish him on round 2. I'll take it.

You can kill him without getting hit by spear mobs. They have limited range so if you bring the boss near the edge of cliff then nuke him at there while waiting hyenas coming to you.

This game turns into poe 1 the further you are in. I agree with whats being said here

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2694490/ ... 098634556/

Whether theybare going to change that or not remains to be seen. It appears right now they are conducting an experiment. At first the game is rather slow. Later on it becomes one button clicker. What will the public like? Hmmm.

Huh. When I fought him like a week ago, those guys were only summoned after the fight was over. ****** up, ****** up I say

I haven't looked much at the passives around the far edge. Are they better, or is it ok to wander around the inner ring? I've shifted into the Ranger area and picked up some of the projectile-enhancing passives over there. I also found a blue-text bow that nearly tripled my single-target DPS, so I've been using that instead of crossbows. It was such a large boost in damage that it made me wonder if @Nooneatall's struggles were due to an outdated weapon. Most normal mobs pop in one or two shots.

Yes, most of the time, low damage is due to having a outdated weapon. I had the same problem until @Eyestabber, the bro went on the trading site and spent his hard earned currency to get me a melee weapon. Suddenly I was raping left and right (Still am, most bosses became easy mode just because of the weapon.)

Maybe, I had the highest I could get at the time.

I think this goes back to things like trading. I bet if I played with other people I would have a different experience I just don't really want to. What's your guild maybe I'll join.

I think it's RPGHQ. Post your character name in hidden tags or send it to one of us. I know @Boontaker and @Finarfin can invite people, and I think they made me an officer, too.
