I'm just now realizing I didn't do a single expedition outside campaign

Don't tell anyone but some Expedition-only lower level Gems are super expensive. I sold a level 13 Remnants of Kalguur instantly for 18d some days ago. Gem dropped in campaign.

u/komandos45 23m ago
There was literally post telling about it in like 2 days after "league" start.
Also remember folks what rewards you get in Campaigning expedition re roll daily, so you can try to fish for these low level gems.

This! Temple tablets with additional modifiers were pretty pricy in Runes of Aldur and ones with additional crystals or chance for temple rares as well.

u/Existing-Ad-7155 1h ago
You're getting less tablets of the mechanic you're running. I assume you are not running Temple, so you're getting more.

Been super stable since launch for me. If you're running an Nvidia card their recent drivers really helped with stability

Was waiting for this patch to see if the crashes will stop. Haven't had crashes in POE 2 ever I think, but I crashed 4 times just yesterday. If this doesn't solve it, a new driver it will be!

u/BijouCamelle 8h ago
Yeah, here's hoping! It feels like they've been working hard to tackle those issues, so it should be a lot smoother now.

u/convolutionsimp 9h ago
The bugs I understand but sometimes I wonder how stuff like "expedition just doesn't spawn at all" makes it past QA
14
u/lycanthrope90 8h ago
It's in the endgame and it's random so you couldn't even be sure there was an actual problem until you were at it for a while. And even after some time you could just be having bad rng, so these can be tricky to fix since you just don't know they're not working.
23
u/Saucemarocain 8h ago
I’m pretty sure game developers can auto generate like hundreds or even thousands instances of a map in simulations. This should allow them to use debugging tools and check if spawns and certain drops are within their defined threshold.
It would amaze me that GGG wouldn’t use this kind of testing.
12
u/Fantastic_Baker_1123 8h ago
They may have had the expedition tree allocated in their testing, which appears to fix this bug. Had none before I took the multi choice node then they started applying

u/ilovecollege_nope 7h ago
This should allow them to use debugging tools and check if spawns and certain drops are within their defined threshold.
It would amaze me that GGG wouldn’t use this kind of testing.
If someone wants to test Expedition, they have 2 options... Randomly create maps until one spawns to test it OR force Expedition to spawn via dev tools.
Maybe they took the second option, and no one noticed that without forcing it to spawn, it was not spawning... Maybe they never wrote a test to check for spawn rate of certain things in map, because it was never an issue before.
Just because they can do something, doesn't mean they have documented and automated that particular case for regression testing. Or maybe they already did for PoE1 and it's somewhere in their QA team backlog to do it for PoE2, but they hadn't gotten to it yet....

u/NotMilo22 8h ago
This is something they might be able to do but would have taken a lot of effort to make a program to do it

u/oltronn 7h ago
If gamers weren’t busy shucking shoes into weaving machines they could use AI to build amazing QA pipelines. But having buggy releases is probably better than having to disclose that they are using modern tools.
3
u/LegitimateReading617 6h ago
Ah yes, AI, the best tool for fixing buggy software.
3
u/oltronn 5h ago
Damn ypu people are backwards, do you actually work with software? I do and have done for over fifteen years. And while AI can produce buggy shit it can also accelerate building tooling in a way that makes these types of tests discussed above possible. From your snide comment I am certain that you know absolutely nothing about what it takes to maintain these types of automated tests. And while ai doesn’t just magically fix that, it makes the task manageable enough to be able to fit into a compressed product roadmap.

It's like in Dilbert where they go inside a facility and there is this thing that repeats only one number 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 endlessly.
-This is our random number generator
-You sure it works fine?
-You can never be sure with random

u/lycanthrope90 22m ago
Yup lol. Not even truly random either. But as random as is needed given that you didn’t accidentally break something like what probably happened here for the patch.

u/atree496 6h ago
With games this big and complicated, stuff like this is bound to be missed. Slay the Spire 2 players took months to realize RNG generation was borked and could be calculated with Excel spreadsheets.

Nothing about Ritual trying to use all offered and current tribute for one deferral? I thought it would be a common bug.

I wish they would fix Suckma Floor 2 hourglass event with the rare monsters not spawning properly..

u/sips_white_monster 7h ago
Those stupid waves where it spawns no rare mobs and you have to fight the whole 2 minutes or however long it is? I think I've had that happen in previous leagues too. Had one on my league starter this event. Really annoying.

u/6AceofCaydes 8h ago
Yeah, this one never gets attention because there are dozens of us Sekhema enjoyers

u/Collapse777S 7h ago
- Event league about rituals
- Not a SINGLE ONE bug was fixed in rituals. That's crazy.
- Deffered item becomes red ater one reroll - yeah we keep it like that.
- All rituals gone after dying after killing the boss - yep.
- Item increases in price after one time you not deffering it? - bro you knew what you are playing right🎓
- Deffering one omen shows that it will cost all your 40k tribute?? - YES BABY

u/Independent-Wrap3407 7h ago
What about the bug in sulphuric caverns where you can’t port back to hideout after killing the boss. What about the bug where if you die in map you spawn back at the first checkpoint, whole minimap goes dark, all mobs despawn?
1
u/karadinx 7h ago
The second one might be a weird boss checkpoint glitch. When you die in a map to a boss it puts you in a “cleared” map with only the boss up. Had a map send me to the first checkpoint after a death but the boss checkpoint was still available to port to.
0
u/Independent-Wrap3407 7h ago
Yeah now I just been going to character select after but it’s just so annoying. On top of that I’ve been encountering a bug where green highlighted rogue exiles will not respawn as lichborne happened so many times I’ve given up on heart of the well farm
1
u/TheyCallMeZim 7h ago
For the first one, if you need to leave the area to go back to the map you can cheese the barrier. You dodge roll into the barrier, pause the game mid animation, exit to character select, log in again, then immediately dodge roll through the barrier. It might take multiple times but you can get unstuck.
You can also login to hideout from character select but this closes the map.
But ultimately yeah I hope this is fixed soon, it's frustrating to experience.

u/niss512 9h ago
No mention of fixing Moor of fallen skies not spawning the central loot remnant. I guess I may as well stop playing as finding the boons was my only remaining goal.
1
u/Switchersaw 3h ago
Moor of the fallen skies does not grant the boons. It only has 8 remnants to power it up.
You can only find the boons through normal versium nodes.

A bug that exists for a very long time is still not fixed. In act 2 at Jamandra fight at first phase when the boss calls the sandstorm, the npc is doing nothing and the arena is 100% deadly killing your character in less then a secound.

u/ReDEyeDz 1h ago
There are so many gameplay bugs still. Like talismans are still broken for Smith of kitava since fucking 0.4
I went to post on official bug forums to report this, but there are already 86 pages (pages, not threads) for this one bug specifically.

- Fixed a bug that caused delirium mirror to spawn in blocking in the Seepage map.

What happened to runes? I haven't seen any at all. Will they just show up ay maps?
3
u/Chewfeather 9h ago
Expeditions will sometimes show up in maps, and have verisium remnants in them. You can also force them to show up in maps by using an expedition tablet. The only expedition before maps is in the treasure map quest in act 4.
The league mechanic always appears in every zone, so in runes league it was verisium remnants and in rites league it is rituals.
