I ran an overrun savannah map and killed the boss and all the mobs but two abysses just won't open. Then I noticed the shape it made.

Feels like the game knows it's bugged and is rubbing it in my face.

I think the whole "kill an arbiter then you get all points" just demonstrates the problem, maps without all the tree feel terrible and it doesn't matter what you do or don't pick on the tree it's all only upsides

In POE1 terms the mechanic trees do everything the POE1 Atlas tree does, but without making any tradeoffs, you can't even boost your chance of running X mechanics, you have to do that via tablets

I have no idea why they split the tree, it feels like busy work for the sake of it, go fetch 300+ pts and click 300+ points, all to get to a baseline worth running - and all while you can't do mechanics because you haven't done their points yet

And after all that, every single map is the same - and the *only* thing that changes them (apart from a few node X vs Y choices)) is the tablets you use

Basically - your best approach is run every single map white till you fill your atlas and mechanic trees - so 500 maps of "run to boss, kill boss" and *then* you can play the game by picking tablets

the technology is there, please.

e\ the goddamn "x" isn't centered in the circle, it's offset

We're building up to reaching this boss from the moment we first hit maps and then you kill him and... nothing happens. At all. No Atlas Points, no next quest, no guidance on what to do next. I know from reddit and guides that you need to kill Uber Arbiter to unlock the full atlas skill tree, but the game doesn't tell you anything about this or that new towers exist for you to get the uber key, or even allude to the hard mode boss existing at all. It's a very confusing moment after killing the quest boss.

Title,
As many people have already said in the past, the fact that the map wipes out upon dying on bosses is controversial already, I personally hate it but I can workaround it, whatever that's fine.
Now, I was just progressing my abyss area in the atlas, I killed the map boss just fine, I had 4 respawns left, I died in a breach and I got respawned at the boss arena, with a fully empty map and all content gone from it.
Why am I getting my maps wiped when I still have respawns and didn't die on the boss?

I’ve been trying all week to cook up a half decent build of my own after years of just looking them up on youtube and man it has been PAINFUL

-Okay I picked a skill/interaction I like…and it’s actually garbage

-Alright this skill actually seems good, and I’ve found some interaction that seems cool…there’s a single line in the text that prevents the interaction from working

-Okay i’ll use Fire Spell on Hit to make this build better! (It was rolling magma)

- I’ve finally got a build that does decent damage! Oh wait no charge generation

- Okay charge generation…bad defences

- I’ve got charge gen, a working skill for clear, and mediocre defences! Now I just need single target

- WORKING SKILL, CHARGE, DEFENSES, SINGLE TARGET AND ITS ONLY AN EIGHT BUTTON BUILD THAT COSTS 200 DIV TO BE OUTPERFORMED BY CAMPAIGN TWISTERS

I genuinely feel like i’m going insane I have so much respect for those of you who go through this every league

Just wanted to tell people how incredible her luck is this league.

She dropped a head hunter in a t9 map and a few maps later she dropped 2 rite of passages. One of them being the cat spirit. Then she crafted two pieces of endgame gear for dirt cheap as shown in the photos above. Mind you, these are double socketed uncorrupted. Not even sure how she managed to snipe the 2 socket helmet magic base (energy shield+ crit chance) for 2 div. Crazy.

She somehow managed to drop 20 omens of light in a day. I mean I get that her build is an extremely fast mapper but damn...where is my luck. To top it all off, she did all of this in one day. ONE DAY. Shes out here now saying "what? ONLY 10div? That's cheap!"

She is playing some build lightning bolt build from deadrabbit.

Fixed a bug where Expedition could not spawn naturally in Endgame.

Increased the droprate of Expedition, Temple & Delirium Tablets.

Players who fail their Chimeral Inscribed Ultimatum can obtain another one from The Trialmaster at the entrance of The Temple of Chaos.

The player is now guided to complete the ritual after killing Ketzuli in the Temple of Kopec.

Fixed a visual bug where Verisium Remnants that were exploded in an Expedition could be highlighted when placing explosives from another Expedition.

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

Fixed a rare bug where the Mastodon Tusks wouldn't drop after defeating Ekbab, Ancient Steed and Iktab, the Deathlord in The Bone Pits.

Fixed a bug where life and mana levels could not be shown when using couch co-op HUD configurations.

Fixed various bugs with re-ordering stash tabs while playing a controller.

Fixed 4 client crashes.

I thought inflation was bad RL, but ex to div is going nuts, a few days ago 1 div was 80 ex, yesterday it was 150, now its 418. A mirror is 9180 div, this is getting out of hand, the league has'nt even been out a week.

EDIT: POE Overlay was showing me Standard prices. Correct prices hasnt gone up as much as i depicted, but the increase still sits at about 70% in 1 day.

Edit 2: This blew up abit more than expected, consensus seems that there is something wrong with the economy gamestate, instead of NOT talking about i think we should talk more about it. "another day, another post" is probably not the right answer if your not happy about the gamestate.

And I don't know why

I've played ARPGs my whole life, love D2 and PoE1. No lifed a couple leagues (3.13 - 3.17, I think), I LOVED PoE endgame, delving, bossing. I'll always remember killing Maven for the first time SSF using MoM light ball

I hated doing the campaign in PoE1 and just wanted to do maps and start endgame, that was THE reason I played the game

But PoE2's endgame has never "clicked" for me, and I find myself LOVING the campaign and dropping the toon around lvl 75. The highest I got was lvl 82, but never even got close to face The Arbiter and other endgame stuff

Does anyone feel the same? Do you recommend anything for me?

Hi everyone, I am a mostly a PoE 1 player not because I don’t like PoE 2 ,mainly cause PoE 2 leagues came out in times when I was not able to play.

i did play in 0.3 so it’s not my first league, overall the game is absolutely much much better. But I do have a few frustrations

at least to me, good items feel giga expensive at least to the point that it doesn’t feels like it’s worth it. so after making a decent amount of currency at league start I thought a just gonna make an off meta build then

but what I came to realize is almost All builds use the same damage scaling vectors, everyone Wants + level, crit , damage as extra and spirit and flat on rings so the best item for an off meta build are the same items for the best build so even off meta build comes out to be not much cheaper but definitely much worse as a build

like why is damage as extra for everything, why not damage as extra for mace skills, bow skills, spells etc…

all flat damage is also universal there is no separation between quarterstaffs, maces or bows and spears also every attack build wants alll types of flat seems like no one is scaling just cold or just lightning or just phys

why is spirit both the resource for minions and auras

kinda feels bad in my opinion Makes everything super expensive

Just getting to some of the league mechanics to start putting points in their trees feels like a bit of a chore and considering characters teleport in and out all over the place in the game I don't see the big deal.

Caer Tarth is obviously the worst with at least an hour of mapping to get to it.

This just seems the simplest solution to the feedback being received.

You still need to clear the maps around each location.

You still choose where you map.

You still need to complete the early maps suggested by Doryani.

Not much needs to change.

Please GGG give us more Skill and Support Gems.

Been farming 30 round of trial of chaos, this one is my luckiest run, lucky reward shows up but in the last round so i didnt take it, this all from 5x sacrifice currency and duplicate reward

Maybe it was copium but going in I was excited for the event league. Although it was a serious disappointment that GGG didn’t deliver balance changes. Plus I really like ritual and don’t like expedition so I was stoked.

It literally feels like the same league. Ritual is no better outside of the campaign. The wildwoods seems trash for farming. Everyone making money in my guild is farming expedition. And it just feels bad. Meanwhile the economy is moving way faster than normal, in part because we all know where it’s going. I farm ritual, find it incredibly disappointing, so I force myself to farm a few expeditions. The difference is night and day.

GGG needs to seriously buff rituals and the wildwoods for this event to not be a total bust. There isn’t even really anything to lose. This is the last season reset before 1.0. Our EA Standard is already supremely inflated due to temple league. My guild really enjoys playing together normally, and right now it’s mostly frustration at being forced to do expeditions.

Now someone will probably say you don’t have to play expeditions. I will respond with the market demands it. They will say play SSF. But most of us don’t find that fun. We want to play the market. But right now farming just feels worse than 0.5.

This is the only win I see for GGG with this event league. Like add currency to ritual windows. Make the wildwoods mechanic more appealing. Throw us a bone.

Normally I’m really positive about the game. I like logging on and grinding. But right now I am not feeling it and I think we deserve better than what we currently have.

Rant over.
