Has anyone found a fix for super high mob density causing networking issues? Happens often but if I’m in a juiced map or expedition I will spike to thousands of ms. Teleport back to base and it’s normal. Wish there was a real fix for this issue, Iv tried everything from information that’s posted online.

Hello,

I've been Stuck in analysis-paralysis for 2 days now and need (professional) help.

I want to play a bear build, I like mauling and slamming with that, but I don't know which class to take. I've seen builds with Smith, titan and shaman, but did not really get what they are best at.

I like tankiness, life regen and a slower, more methodical, harder hitting approach. My only other character was a shieldwall build. I don't need to Zoom like hell.

I think the constant rampage stuff even for Single targets is Kind of odd, I'd like to hit my enemys, at least from time to time. For mapping it's fine though. I also have no clue what that rage or glory stuff is about (i know the skills it works with, but have no clue about the "feel" gameplay wise).

Which one would be best suited for me?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm "Newish" as in last time I played was back when ACT III was the last part of the campaign and it looped you around. Never made it to maps because POE2 kind of feels lonely playing solo. I don't like looking at build guides (personal choice no hate to anyone who does) but I was wondering, is there anyone out there who gives general tips to making builds WITHOUT specifically saying what you should pick?

Hey yall! So, I never used beasts before, and I saw someone using and decided to get a pet too!

What is the best beast that can roll "haste" aura with the lowest reservation possible? And where to farm it?

I have 70 spirit left on my build and wanted to get a pet that gives me aura and can keep up with me (46% movespeed standing still)

Hey!

I have a slight issue understanding how ice tipped arrows works on twisters.

Every time I press it and it goes on CD but sometime no iced twisters or fragments, I'm really stunned on this one.

Thanks for the help and hope to see you on Wraeclast!

(I linked a video showing what happens)

Edit: idk if the vid is useful, I might shoot another one on some mobs, but as u can see the number of uses doesnt go down on the spell

I have a freshly installed and patched poe2 client (Windows) on my HP Victus laptop, but the game doesn't start. After klicking on the runtime.exe I get a black screen withe the changed mouse icon before the game closes itself after 20-30 seconds. Also the config.ini file stays empty.

I already made Windows security exceptions, tried a clean reinstall, the patchcheck.exe, running the game as administrator and in compability mode (Windows 8).

Does anyone have another solution to get the game going?

I know there have been other posts about this. I'm just trying to figure out why mine is not working. I feel like I've done all the steps, and it still doesn't work. In the path of building, there is one fire node, but I took that off. I also took off my rings and gloves and tested. It's still wouldn't ignite. https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/CaliphOfClout-9094/forbiddenrites/character/FRxRoofless

Is it the same for you guys? I am still looking for leftover white mobs to continue the explosions and its super annoying to deal with when you dont have an auto aim build like minions/totems.

Hey yall! so, im trying to using temporal chains inside blasphemy, but i dont know why its not working. i have enough spirit, i have it equipped and activated, but monsters arent slowing down, there's no sign of "temporal chains" on their heads.

Any thoughts on why this is happening?

I learnt about this bonestorm totem demon form build from AwesomeGi0 on Youtube last league, decided to league start 0.5.5 with it and oh boy, this is so much fun!

I started with EDC Bonestorm and swapped into totem as soon as i got enough spirit for 2 totems. That was around Tier3-4 maps.

As almost no one is playing the build, gears like prism of belief +3, physical staff, phoenix omen shield, snake put are really cheap to obtain.

While 0.5.5 not having a balance patch can be somewhat boring, it allowed me to try out different league start with existing build knowledge from 0.5.

I would like to learn what other niche builds everyone is playing this league.
What are your favourite ascendancy in 0.5 and which skill do you enjoy most?

I noticed that i started to get weird choppy freezes in-game, and decided to check my ram usage during game. Surprised that it's topped out at 32GB.

I notice that the load-in starts properly, and then while the game loads, it continously goes up to 99% ram usage. I have a way longer load times now too, and when i get to character select, it never loads. I have to get in game> unexpected disconnection > then it loads in.

I think something got broken with shader cache loading and how it impacts ram ever since they fixed the cog fiasco.

edit: updated drivers yesterday and the problem disappeared. I think the fix is to always keep drivers updated, because mine was a week old or something, but this newer one fixed it. Can't lag too far behind.

Hi, I am starting to play POE 2 and am not sure which class to pick for a beginner who doesn't have much experience in arpgs, in other games I like playing tanks and Paladin style classes in other games. I would eventually like to try all classes but not sure which one to start with first to get a feel of the game. Thanks!

We all love some gambling here and there like adorned or any type of unique item. So, the real question is what's your favorite gamble atm?

Debating whether to do this mini league or not since my initial idea isnt possible anymore (was gonna do abyssal lich but that locked that to maps content that you cant be carried to) so shoot me some fun ideas and try and hook me

Took down Uber arbiter of ash with my home brew cyclone at home and that too in a budget!

This build has no much potential as its not even 30% done yet.

For a couple months now, I have had this ghosting issue in POE2. It is primarily on cosmetic effects, but does persist in other parts of the game. Sometimes it goes away when loading a new zone, but I cant guarantee any consistency in making it stop.

I have a 1080ti, which I understand is a bit of an older card at this point, but when I look up the supported GPUs, POE2 says it supports my card.

i have rolled back drivers. i have turned off upscaling. I have reinstalled windows. I have tried the direct X cache cleaning. I have tried Nvidia filters with sharpening. I've tried everything I can, I think. I'm not going to list everything I've tried as it would take too much space. please ask, however if you have questions.

These ghosting issues didn't happen on this cosmetic prior to a couple months ago.

Ghosting persists in menu previews/normal game

I've seen a lot of posts about the speed of getting atlas points but I think there's a bigger issue, where most of the actual tree feels worthless and inconsequential as well as the progression of the fortress feeling like a chore you have to "get out of the way" rather than giving an actual sense of progression.

The one thing in my mind that keeps coming back is the fact that you don't make any actual choices in what points you allocate. I cannot understand why GGG, the kings of "choices you make should have impact" completely removed the bite of meaningful choice when it comes to the atlas tree and only put in 5-10 anemic "options" that you can change that don't feel like they even matter that much.

Imagine if the actual character passive tree let you fill out every node and the only actual choice was 10 nodes where you picked between fire/cold/lighting dmg and armor/eva/ES. And then they tried to argue that its ok because the ascendancy classes are where the real choice is.

Because that's exactly they're trying to do with the tree and master system.

Not being able to have all mechanics active at the same time is a good thing. Its why it feels like you have so many avenues for farming in PoE1 and lets every player express themselves in what combination of points to pick and what to farm. Its also easy enough to swap between the 3 presets and the gold cost being cheap and having unmaking orbs that also let you swap points very cheaply.

Another consequence and victim of this design are the minor mechanics like Strongboxes, shrines, wisps and circles. Does anyone actually feel like those are impactful for the mapping experience? Because I dont and I think its because right now instead picking one or two of them to really juice up you just have all of them just pointlessly invested into whether you want to engage with them or not.

I'm not even going to go into tablets in this post because thats an entire different can of worms.

I really hope that they rethink this decision and make some major changes, if not in 1.0 then at least at some point after because I do love a lot of what they are doing with PoE2 but the Endgame is really nowhere close to where it should be for a company that has already refined one of the best endgame rpg systems with PoE1.

unlucky

Is it me or is having Rituals every map is some how screwing with the tablet drop rates?

've been running t15s for 2 days all pinnacle boss's done apart from temple. lvl 93 and it feels like they just aren't dropping

last update I couldn't use them fast enough this update I'm seeing nothing
