Let's be real here, are you enjoying the league with your build?
|
I think the key this league is to just be very tanky. I had a ton of fun leveling to 100 this league but a lot of my friends are getting farmed and already feel like quitting.

I will start by saying I love POE and really enjoy the game and the challenges that come with it. I'm no expert and can be counted as a causal.
Saying that I have 7000 hours play time, so I have a fair idea of what to do and what I like, builds / skills etc. I'm playing an Occultist Arc build .. is it perfect no, is it finished no but normally when I am level 77 I'm starting to build and planning for 90 plus. I did a death count before .. 167 .. yes i am a noob but for me this is SUPER high. I can get 90 plus with a handful of deaths, but so far i am being eaten alive. I don't even deploy sentinels at the moment so I can try to avoid some of the deaths. Please let me state, I do NOT mind dying at all. Learn and move on but even my wife who also has 7000 hours of play time is struggling so its just not me. Something with the tuning is very wrong .. yes make it hard but give us clues why we died .. it get frustrating when you die that often .. level 77 for me at the moment is hell .. call me a noob what ever, but i hope someone from GGG reads this as i don't post normally but this topic is close to my heart. |

I usually play anywhere between 100 - 300 hours per league and quit this one after 10.
Constantly found myself wanting to take breaks because I was frustrated. Imagine a new league, time to play and nothing much better to do and choosing "nothing much better". Poe to me was always about trying to build something myself from scratch. New build each league avoiding meta builds. Sure it would be pretty bad until you gathered some currency but at least you could get to the endgame where you could start grinding and gearing. Now anything experimental is absolute torture to even get to maps.. The challenge was always to see how far I could take a build. usually the answer was red maps and some bossing ( not all builds managed top tier content obviously ) 90% of whats in the game doesn't work and that is coming from someone that has always played off meta home brews and is used to playing sub par builds. You just can't do that in any sort of fun way if you have a life. It's not that it can't be done. it's just not fun to do anymore. To be honest I am quite upset. poe is my favourite game and they ruined it. Last edited by Impiousbe#0903 on May 18, 2022, 9:18:33 AM

playing Blade Flurry Impale on champ
and wave of conviction elementalist (avatar of fire) League has been lackluster but I am still on my way to maps. I find the new mods to be all over the place to be honest. Some mobs are silly and others are too much of a speed bump so I just skip them. League mechanics kind of amplify this with these mods. I normally play new skills at introduction so I actually had planned to skip this league a friend decided to try the game so I am playing as long as they do. Honestly kinda just feels like I should be playing on standard imo |

The moment you listen to Chris saying things do the exact opposite. GGG loves doing underhanded backhanded narratives. The moment you hear "No nerfs" that means monster buffs. They're desperately trying to cling onto the "darksouls diablo 2" game. But there's a fundamental problem with their approach. It's that thing every single feminist does when they hear about making a study. You start with the problem and then work towards your narrative. That's not how research works. Same with game development. You don't start with your narrative "How can we fuck over players and get them to pay for our product still". You start with honest questions and answers. What's the problem? We need a new league because 3 month cycles. "My friend is into cyberpunk. Lets make floating empowerment bots". Why is the answer then "Lets lie and say no nerfs and buffs, lets make rares so fucking hard that you need endgame 1k hour in gear to even kill a blue".
Literally the moment you read or hear anything. Think about the narrative they're pushing. And then look at what they do. They're clear cut and dry opposites. No nerfs. Environment became significantly harder. I'll never forget this line either in the patchnotes for 3.15 I think. "question: Ignite feels bad bossing/singletarget please buff?" "Answer: We buffed a skill nobody gave a fuck about that just happen to be fire based". How is that an answer? To the sycophants, I rarely post or even look at my profile. Send your childish messages. Untill you get the courage to ask someone to yeet themselves you've got nothing to say to me. |

" I don’t know how to tell you this but do you have a point besides “I need to stop playing the game I’m taking it too seriously?” I’m rerolling into a spark inquis tonight. Traps suck ass to play but are mechanically OP. "Bonus points if it is Scion/Witch because they have nice knees. Ranger has ugly knees and other characters are men so playing them would be homoerotic." - CAKE, 10/20/21
