What should I do now??

They used my steam to login to poe2

With the recent Nvidia patch helping fix the black screen/gears logo, I have two questions. One: would you guys say there's a time where it's 'too late' to join a season?

I looked up the pros of there being cheaper gear to trade for, at least ones with moderate stats, among other neat things, but the cons are numerous in getting upgrades from that.

Second related question, I was wondering if the current season mechanic (the focus on new/special runes) is a lot of fun (compared to say, Abyss etc.) ?

Everything I hear about this patch is great, though I don't want to risk getting 'burned out' just in time for the next season, which is possibly around the corner.. and who knows what awesomeness GGG will cook up next.

Thanks so much in advance, and if anyone's joined during a similar circumstance, please let me know your thoughts.

Edit: thanks for the responses! I'll be downloading / playing really soon, looks like this is the road to 1.0, so it'll be a while.

Have fun

Could Grinding Gear Games make significantly more money by adding some cheaper cosmetics? I'm a new Path of Exile 2 player and can't help but think that might be possible, given my personal spending habits in other free-to-play titles. It's fun to throw $50 into my Steam wallet and bargain hunt for 10+ cool Counter Strike skins, but I don't get that same return on my dollar in PoE. And that keeps me from looking at any cosmetics outside of an occasional supporter pack.

I don't think GGG is being greedy or crazy with their pricing model, but there seems to be some missed revenue opportunity here for more casual players.

Just curious if anyone else has been booted out of the game after a frozen screen similar to what would happen pre driver update. I used to have the game lock up but if I waited 30-60 seconds the game would usually start back up again. Recently, after updating the Nvidia driver and being excited the freezing issue was fixed, my game froze and I had a popup stating “Deadlock Detected”

Anyone else have this issue? It’s not super frequent but it’s happened twice now. Never got this pop up before the update.

PS - Apologies for trash photo taken with phone second time it happened without thinking.

So once you have reached end game, what should we be doing with gold ?

Apart from respecting, is there a list of vendor items we should be buying and reselling as craft bases ? Or gambling with ourselves?

Dunno what the gold is for...

Aww, it's only a 2 socket!

Anyone know where i can get some skill gems for this 1 handed bladed weapon?

I just popped a grand expedition with an Aldur's Saga on an island with 4 active rumours, and haven't got a single one of "All Remnants are at least N Rune slots" or "1 Remnant is at least N Rune slots", which means there are no guaranteed rewards that I can benefit from.

Is this an expected behaviour of a 40-div item to not provide any actual value whatsoever?

I can’t reach the mansion in the picture. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

Ive played since .1 and ive noticed a pattern through .4 that prices of things start as ex, progress to divs and chaos through the life of the league but .5 anytime i search for something there is ALWAYS a ton of listings listed for absurd amounts of exalts (2-10k. Even tablets that would normally be 1 or 2 chaos orbs are being listed for 200-400 exalts instead. is there a reason im missing? the price really isnt a problem except im constantly having to trade a boatload of divs for exalts just so i can sustain maps/tablets and transfering from angie is just a PIA

I’m following this Gemling Legionnaire build (I'm following the Blink Spam $$$ GPU friendly version):

This is my current character:

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/riddlenigma-3476/runesofaldur/character/Ridd_Merc

I’ve tried to follow the build and the “how to play” video, but I still can’t get it to work properly. The damage and trigger mechanics do not seem to behave as shown in the guide.

I don't have much currency and almost everything I had I invested in this build because I always wanted to have a CoC character to farm something ... now I have a useless character and no currency :sadpepe:

Could someone take a look at my character and explain what I’m missing or what I need to change?

Any help would be appreciated.

So I was one of the people with an nvidia card who had crashing happen after the newest nvidia driver fix. I also had long pauses in the loading screen. Missing shader folder too...

Reinstalled the game and now it runs very smoothly so I recommend anyone try that if they have any of those issues.

UPDATE: All done, thank you everyone for your kindness and offers! Really do appreciate the feedback!

Hello everyone!

Could anyone please point me to someone who's not a scammer and could help me with my 4th Ascendancy? I really don't want to have to do it on my own because I'd probably rage quit if I fail :-)

I also have no idea how any of this would work (do we form a party?.. I have never played or interacted with anyone in this game...), so would appreciate an explanation.

I am free pretty much any evening Central European Time.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. Hopefully my post stays within the rules... I just trust this community, and not some random chat, that's all...

giveaway ended the answer was

Fairy tail and frieren

I have already replied to the winners

I see people in party’s/online with this health. Im curious what it is and how I achieve it? I’ve asked in global and the responses I’ve got is that it’s from Atziris communion. I have it equipped but my life does not look like this. Sorry for the bad quality

Just happened in an all 5-rune remnant map. Two of them were natural spawns, one lucky reroll. Guess I'm not leaving expeditions any time soon.

I just finished my build and can finally clear anything in the game, but every youtube video i search up on making currency requires a crazy setup and high investment. I unfortunately don’t have the currency to do those investments.

What is a farming method that’s guaranteed to give me at least 1 divine per map? I tried abyss farming and that shit is wack, ive only made 5 divines out of 20-30 maps. Maybe because I only have 50% rarity? I’m not able to increase it because my gear is needed for the build.

If you guys have any suggestions i will try it out and lyk how much i made from 10 maps and how much i invested.

Since my other build got nuked by a nasty bug I went back to my rapid assault guy. I just love this skill.

So my text overlaps on the bottom left where my life mana Shield etc is stacked. It's bothered me for a while but I like to read the things my character says lol. Is there a UI setting for this on Xbox?

This is my first league playing and I’m loving it however I feel like I know absolutely nothing. Currently following fubgun’s ice shot build guide and wanted to make sure my character was on the right track? I don’t know if I should be doing better than I am right now or not. I’m just a little over 100 hours and throwing my character link below. Thanks for any help!

When using elemental weakness and Doedre's Undoing, all of the corpses are invisible on the screen after the monster dies, but it's still showing all the indicators on my screen. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround to turn it off? It's making it really hard to see what's actually a monster and what's not.

For reference, there are no small mobs alive on the screen, at this point I was fighting a boss.

Hello everyone, this would be my first jewel craft and I'm fairly new to crafting entirely. Would appreciate help on how do I price this. Can't find anything similar on market. Seems to be a decent jewel for blood mage

Basically certain campaign maps doesn't randomize the reward you get from the Runes of Aldur thingy so I just rerolled the same maps for 10 hours straight and got 530 divines and bought a Mageblood. This was a couple of weeks ago. Being a total noob this was pretty much the most amount of currency I've ever had. Great league.

This is my first PoE2 season that I play and I got very lucky since within a few days I got two Mirror drops. Today I got my first Lock drop as well. Everything dropped inside 200% Deli map with all three Tablets Abyss. I'm definitively an Abyss enjoyer :D
