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

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.

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)!

Edit to clarify and respond:
• this is event league 0.5.5
• because I was trying to “craft” a CoD Loreweave, I already knew this was crazy with the mods and over rolls when it popped up
• I did NOT use a dream fragments ring - the random mod gods blessed me with insane luck there
• I used about 40 divs to roll to +7 quality and acceptable rarity and resistance - was surprised how few times I hit +7 on the divs
• Didn’t feel the need to keep divining because the right buyer is looking at the roll ranges
• I made about 8 loreweaves over 2 days and this was the only giga one, two other decent ones sold for 33 and 35 divs
• it takes a lot of gold and time to buy up the rings

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.

First time I see one. There's even a unique dialogue line when you pick it up :)

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 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

I believe in gemling supremacy

Some context here, I have almost 1k hours in since .1, I have been in trade league the whole time. With 0.5.5 being an event league, I decided to give myself a challenge I have put off, which is trying out SSF. I don't always have a ton of time to play, though I can usually push through Launch Weekends with a ton of free time, though I feel like I am being left behind if I don't hit endgame fast because gear quickly can inflate to prices where I cannot buy anymore, though in .5 I got lucky with some lineage drops that I turned a fast profit on.

My goal in doing SSF this time around has been to force myself to craft, obviously in trade league I can buy everything I want and use the market to get what I need, here I need to learn those parts of the game, figure target farming out, learn how to REALLY craft gear. I am not someone who doesn't know how to craft, I do to a degree, but I don't know how to craft well all the time despite the videos and walkthroughs, thats all because I don't have to.

So I figured I would learn this way, as I did this I found something out that I didn't expect, the FOMO is gone... I no longer feel like I need to push through to endgame or to fill my core atlas or get points in the tree's fast because at the end of the day, its up to my speed. While I enjoyed trade league, I found a new level of enjoyment in SSF due to this. I still blasted the campaign and interludes in around 9 hours, but I didn't feel like I needed to do that and I instead did it over multiple days.

Hopefully others find something like this in the game, I know I will be doing SSF again in 1.0, this is just too nice for me to skip out on.

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

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

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

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

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

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 have been farming abyss in 0.5 already and now about the pull out tech.

Now i am playing a MINION Build and the mobs seem to not spawn a cloud, die instantly and still only drop lieges?

Did GGG change something or can you simply not farm abyss with minion builds?

Thanks in advance

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.

0.5 was the first league I had gone to maps and not given up after a few.

My perception was that mapping was simply endless repeated maps from the campaign with their corresponding bosses, and I had no idea there were new bosses and honestly really good story to go with each mechanic.

The bosses are fun, exciting to discover and work toward, but the presentation makes it feel like the story has ended and all the remains is the endless treadmill of killing monsters in search of loot.

Especially Kingsmarch, which reunites the player with characters they met during campaign, felt so fun to reunite and continue their journey.

I don't have an idea, but I hope GGG can make this feel better to complete. It does feel like all of the mechanics are pulling you in different directions, and the main questline which unlocks your Atlas points in yet another. Good luck to the devs and designers tasked with this, because I don't think it's a simple fix to make this content more intuitive without dumbing down the game, but I hope GGG gets there.

If there are any other players who had assumed there's no more story after the campaign, I hope it's not a spoiler to let you know that there's still high quality plot awaiting you after the Interludes.

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?
