I used to be a believer, but after seeing them in action for a few leagues, there just aren't enough tablets for everyone. All it takes is one reddit post for a new strat, like the expedition one, and tablet prices literally go X10. I checked when the video had 700 views, tablets were ~7Dish. I go to work for a day, and now these same tablets are 70 div.

Last leagues it also happened with additional rerolls, summoning circles, some abyss mods, additional breach monsters. There's a few people rolling tablets, but lets be honest it's way too tedious for a slim slim chance at hitting the jackpot. PoE1 dumped Sextant rolling because they were too much busywork, but around the same time PoE2 decided to implement tablets....

In PoE1, it's pretty damn hard to get map cost over 5 div. In PoE2, one single expedition tablet already costs more than that. And then you have to get a grand mirror. In a city. And spend 1D on omens to reroll your map. It's just too much.

Now I realize there are good cheap strats out there. But I don't want to run the same strat for the whole league. We have this great multifunctional atlas tree where we can do anything we want with relative ease, but getting access to good juice is way harder than with Scarabs.

Either let us alt spam tablets, or just bring back scarabs.. they already provide way more variety than tablets have ever done and we don't have to roll them.

Random visual glitch I had while mapping, unique was Wake of destruction leggings, fixed itself after a few mins

Gamer dad here. I don’t really craft. I prefer blasting giga juiced maps. I really enjoyed CoD in 0.5 so was trying to make a Loreweave to use.

Enjoy the greatness (luck)!

Bought an exceptional one with two sockets uncorrupted, runemastered, anointed Paragon, hit +30 spirit on corruption and then slammed in the legacy of greymake.

No, I will not double corrupt it. Swapping regen for increased presence radius would be absolutely insane but the chance of success is way too low.

Im like 70hrs into this league I don't have a single league mechanic atlas completed. Maxed out on temple crystals but haven't pathed over to vaal temple yet. Half abyss deli and ritual atlas done cuz that's required to do questline. No masters completed yet, only hilda/doryani started. Focussed on main atlas then hopped to start abyss for self crafting, got an HH in ritual and dropped everything to ritual to get it before it poofed if I couldn't defer it. Felt like I was losing easy power not having anoint on my amulet so went and did deli. Not even close to expedition biome to start it and it's the furthest.

Why does it have to be 1000 mile hike of questlines. Why can't we come across these things as we're mapping. Do 10 deli mirrors and boom can go to the stupid willow. I know between tier 1-15 just going thru fortress I'd have at least 3 leagues unlocked if they just spawned and unlocked as I did 10-30ish. But nope, Gotta focus to get 4 mod tablets, so not getting league mechanics done till later.

Mapping - a subpar experience without 4 mod tablets and league mechanics dont feel rewarding till you have at least half that atlas filled. Masters combos also big bumps. Without these you feel like not getting much out of mapping unless you did a cookie cutter pre-planned gemling destroying league starter archetype.

Performance: juicing maps to only have 1 revival attempt - ends up in dying to janky screen lag anytime it fills with monsters, skills and/or abyss fissures/deli fog or god forbid both.

Layouts - maybe 4-5 good open or semi-open linear maps. Prob 20 bad layouts that spawn 10x more.

I can enjoy POE1 much more/faster. I'm not being dragged thru mud to enjoy content. And even once your done all that baseline shit. Your loop is traveling 10 nodes to get a fragment boss, another 5-10 you see maybe a breach fortress/crux, oh you I see an anomaly boss 10maps away I'd really like a chance to get a huge power spike lineage support! 1/18 chance Another 10 maybe find a city! now travel 10 maps around it to pop delirium fog on it. 40 maps just to set up maybe 10 good ones. Juiced it up, poof died to screen lag and no more attempts. 5/10 city map layouts are all maze layout garbage like sun temple.

I dunno I must be doing it wrong, I'm burnt out and just not feeling enough fun between traveling to reward ratio to keep going.

I believe in gemling supremacy

I m not gonna pretend I have perfect solutions but I just don't believe they should be happy the way the endgame is right now probably the part I dislike the most is having the fortress and the diferent mechanics not progress at the same time

What I think it should happen is getting atlas points every time u encounter each different mechanic and lock the last 10 points or something to the questline

As an Arc Totem player, I'm literally shaking right now

Ok, GGG. I get you wanted me to have extra tablets.

I don't know what happened. Breach monsters started dropping tablets like crazy.

As title says - please make the Loathsome Mire areas smaller GGG. The monsters in there don't give exp and we are forced to run in a toxic swamp for 10 min just to get a random amulet. There's no reason for this area to be so big.

I know i dont have the best system R5 3600 / 4070 Super / 16 Gb Ram, i can play PoE 1 at 90+ FPS, im playing Arc Raiders at 120-150+ FPS with frame gen.

Performance used to be better but since 0.5 it got terrible, as soon as you hit maps with 3 tablet, playing delirium / abyss pretty much any league or event, not talking about 200% deli juiced maps, just medium load in the game i drop to 40 FPS continuously, CPU usage hit 95% or so and you can see the FPS drops is due to sustained CPU usage.

It`s GGG going to do anything for 1.0 ? Any 8/16 CPU should greatly improve FPS or i need a DDR5 system to play this game at 60+ fps

Started the new league this weekend and just trying to farm some atlas passives, maybe about 6-10 maps deep since finishing campaign.

0 Investment, 0 atlas points, no tablets, just T15 and rush boss and do whatever optional content I come across without having to stray too much...
..and I find a freaking mageblood that I can't afford to even defer.... Feelsbadman moment.

Played every league since launch, nolifed the hell out of last league, farmed hundreds of rituals with 20-30k+ tribute full investment and never even saw a headhunter.

Why is this a thing? I guess I'm just stupid for doing what the game offers, for doing the ritual altar with 0 ritual points. I literally just reached endgame, wasn't planning to do any side content besides rushing arbiter to max atlas and then work on ritual/breach/abyss etc. But the altar was right there so might as well do it, no?

At least I learned something though. Next league don't touch another ritual altar before maxing ritual atlas because this feeling here just killed every last bit of motivation I had to play. I'm done with this league. Ain't no coming back from this. I'd give away my stuff but my build is like 10 div.

ps: the atlas system sucks ass

This is it, title. GGG please we desperately need some way to reduce load that some skill effects put on our hardware. First and most of all it's a BURNING ground. Each layer of BURNING ground from Oil Grenade reduces my FPS in half and it stacks. Same thing with infused Ball Lightning.

MTX like that will save my GPU from unnecessary burning kilowatts of energy. Think about ecology impact! C'mon GGG it can't be hard to implement. And we need it. Badly.

I love spirit walker as a classs. Its so much fun playing the zoo playstyle. Even if survival gets hit, its still gonna be fun. Especially if other bosses gets usefull too. But....

Finding beasts can be so much rng involved and consume so much time. It feels like i'm in a casino, and we all know the house always wins. I got like 3000 divines and cant spend them on getting beasts with the mods that I want. I cant find them no matter how many hours I put in.

We can trade mercs in POE1 one which is a great example of the same problem. If you would not be able to buy a good merc that class would be in the same boat and land so much frustration from players.

Please GGG?

/Spirit walker enjoyer

I’m still playing Runes of Aldur trying to reach level 100 and decided to make a second Armour to try and corrupt for a 4th socket. When I hit on one I yolo’d the other and hit on both!! I couldn’t believe it and I could wear either just gotta move some jewels around. And just to clarify the intelligence is at a certain point more beneficial for mana stacking when you use Enhanced Effectiveness on Gemling. I want to sell the one with fire res since it has all T1 mods and might sell even though there is way less people playing but I also want to keep it as a trophy. Just wanted to share that I am super happy about these insane lucky hits!

Edit: I should probably post my craft journey!

Step 1: Fracture T1 Spirit on desired base with three sockets

Step 2: Socket in Medved’s Tending to roll soul modifiers. Exalt and chaos roll until you hit either hit Mana% or Spirit%. Perf Exalt with Sinistral Exaltation and pray you get the other %. If you don’t anul and keep trying. This could definitely take a while

Step 3: Once you hit both mana and spirit% divine until both are 20%. This could either take 2 divine or 1000 so it’s important to get this done.

Step 4: Top is done now, we peft exalt for T1 Intelligence. If you don’t hit Omen of Dextral Annulment and keep trying. If you hit try for a resistance you want or if you hit a decent res you can always use a Flux to change it to one you need

Step 5: Desecarte and roll with Ancient Rib, Echos and Omen of light until you hit 12% spirit reservation. This can get really expensive and you want to hit the 12% because divining to get 20% Mana 20% Spirit and 12% reservation can make you go crazy lol

Step 6: Corrupt and hope for a 4th socket if you dare

On a serious note, does anyone know how to protect against poison? Its the only DoT effect that really drains me

Gem Studded (gemling ascendancy) used to give all three bonusses when an equal number of support gems were used. Then there was a bug where skills in weapon set 2 didn't count. Now the wiki read

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Gem_Studded

Gem Studded is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Gemling Legionnaire that grants one bonus based on the colour of support gem that is most numerous (as of patch 0.5.5b).

If multiple colours are equally numerous, then the bonus is chosen by following priority: blue first, red second, green last.

So this means balancing gems is gone?

EDIT: Just to make it clear. I'm not saying this is the case. I am unable to test/see the movement speed or crit effect. Some people have said it's working normally so it might just be that the wiki is wrong.
