Why aren't you playing PoE?

...

>grim dawn
>superior
Now, PoE has its flaws but Grim Dawn. Oh boy. If anyone needs to be fixing "clunky" combat it's Grim Dawn.

Whoever decided to put the whole game into one 20 gigabyte file that has to be completely extracted and re-packed every time there is a 25MB update needs to be hanged.

Hah, surely you photoshopped that. They can't be that dumb.

NIGGER Wilson thinks he can fix melee combat when he balances the game around oneshots because "alt+f4 is part of the game"

FUCK WILSON and FUCK NEW ZEALAND

>when he balances the game around oneshots
This is my biggest problem with PoE. It's a self feeding loop of problems.
>enemies do too much damage
>need to provide players with absurdly high avoidance and regen/leech options
>ultimately nothing you do will make you 100% safe from being oneshot
>powercreep happens so players die less
>increase monster damage

What did he mean by this?

It could be worse.
Super Monday Night Combat had to re-download the entire game again for each patch and there were times they released multiple hot fixes in a row. They fixed too late.

it's fun but if you are not playing as an occultist you are objectively weaker than every other character

Until they make the melee animations not complete garbage, mere numerical tweaks won't fix a damn thing.

I'm not really a fan of top down games like this.

Because no AH

Playing games like this past the first playthough is the definition of autism

Literally doing the same shit over and over

They did said animation changes are in too

literally what?

The only skill in POE that feels good to me is Cyclone and it sucks enormous trannie dick right now.

quick, someone go over to /vg/ and make the "Yea Forums is making fun of us again" post

They're making it channeled now, so it will work like every other ARPG's Cyclone ability. one of the coming updates.

cringe

cookie clicker

No way i am playing that story mode every time i need to make a new char

I tried three times but I really really hate the beach.

cringe

Pay to win
Kek

They tried to "fix" melee for at least 3 times now.

With all this power creep and clear speed meta they can't fix it for shit. I don't want to kill whole screen of monsters with just one click. I want to fight them, dodge attacks and read mods on rare monsters.

Right now Grim Dawn is way better ARPG than PoE.

Melee is not clucky just not as Overpowered piece of shit as every other Ranged Ability
You also need to be close to the Target most of the time risking getting hit.

POE is never going to be that game again. you want a different game. The only engaging fight in POE now is Uber Elder, everything else is a cakewalk you can do with your eyes closed

>steamniggers
standalone client is better in every single way

it's shit compared to diablo 2. call me when they finally make one better than an 18 year old game

gameplay is aids

The standalone client does that too. Nice post.

I don't have autism

have you played any attack build with below 6aps? It feels slow as shit to use and clunky as fuck.

except that the standalone client doesn't take 20 minutes for a 100mb update like steam does

Yeah,. THIS is why nobody calls you.

it does for me, it's different between builds

poe is like 90% trading
might as well just be a trading simulator

>POE is never going to be that game again.
Yeah, I know. It's really sad because I liked old PoE.

>you want a different game
Good thing we have Grim Dawn now.

And trading is the worst aspect of that fucking game.

Yes if fucking is. You need to pass a threshold of attack speed before melee stops feeling like shit and even then you have the same shit like doorways blocking your attacks like Lacerate (same as some projectile builds) and your ground slam attacks like EQ whiffing because there was a pebble on your cursor and your character registered that action as "basic attack the air" instead of "use your EQ one pixel to the left".

Clunky melee mechanics :/

Current league is shit, so I decided to wait until mayhem event or next league.

synthesis
more like
suckmydick

I thought this was a Pillars thread.

People out here wanting auction houses and I unironically want all trading api's to go away and for all trades be facilitated by trade chat.

dogshit game

have fun finding rares that way
playing SSF is the only enjoyable thing about this game anyway

ssf group league
no trading, but grouping is allowed

It was hard finding everything and I liked it, actually getting into trade 1 was exciting, seeing that unique you needed for your build pop up was almost like seeing it drop on the ground, trading had a completely different, more personal feel.

Thats not what I want, I like trade and playing in a large economy, I specifically want the trading experience that existed pre trade api's where all that existed was different trade chat channels. I don't want to play SSF or group SSF.

current league isn't the issue you dumb redditors you're just over the honeymoon phase

This is the problem with PoE currently. Grim Dawn is mediocre as fuck too, literally dead fucking genre

Just play grim dawn instead

>use a single skill forever
fuck this game

Diablo 2 already perfected the genre. Why play anything else?

Unless they make at the very least uniques grindable (eg the Cemetery map boss always has a chance to drop Vis Mortis) to facilitate build enabling uniques obtainable then I don't see this happening.

ah yes press one button to clear the entire screen
good game
would unironically rather play d3 than poe and d3 is an absolute shit game

>Taking one builds average amount of skills used and applying that to every build

Try playing a summoner then turbovirgin

>Convocation

>All have to be cast every 3-5 seconds or so for maximum clear speed

Imagine thinking poe is a low APM game

>not using a flask macro
>specters dying
Don't ever reply again redditor

It wont happen because poe players have tasted the forbidden fruit and won't "regress" into a simpler trading experience no matter how GGG tried to frame it, also most of the growth of poe happened post trade api's so most players dont even know of the days pre poe.trade, it just wouldn't work, i've accepted that even though it makes me sad. At least im confident it'll never go so far as to have an AH because chris is of the same opinion as me and wishes trade was less, rather than more convenient than it already is.

Maybe if Chris resigned i'd start to worry.

>summoner
who's the real turbovirgin here

>Not having the piano key flask finger movement ingrained in your very soul

Imagine calling me a redditor LMAO

Because when I tried to install it it started automatically installing to my tiny ass c drive that I use for my os instead of the drive I actually put my data on.

Because it went from a D2 imitation to a D3 imitation.

>current league isn't the issue you dumb redditors you're just over the honeymoon phase
I don't remember everyone shitting on the league from day 1 to 1 month in with every other past league. It's just a shit league and GGG is pilling on more and more extraneous shit onto the game to the point being hyper bloated.

Powercreep, basic numbers balancing, league design, boss design, infrastructure, servers, clearspeed meta, RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG mechanical design as a cheap way to force player retention, weekly bombardment of new MTX and microtransaction pushing, the act/story structure that feels like shit and needed a revamp before they even released it, the abhorrent visuals/character models and a million more things. Small things that over time and by GGG's neglect (in their pursuit of more and more money) have grown to overshadow whatever shiny and barely polished thing they throw at the community every 3 months.

>I don't remember everyone shitting on the league from day 1 to 1 month

Then you must either be new, or have the memory of a fucking goldfish because bestiary came out like a year ago and was shit on from day 1 to day 90 and was only redeemed in betrayal by gutting the entire mechanic. The synthesis reaction is nothing new and it's neither the best or worst received league thats been released.

>It wont happen because poe players have tasted the forbidden fruit
But it's not enough tho. The biggest expectations I've seen from the community at large for 4.0 (despite Chris over the years, time and time and time again rejecting) is an AH system for at least currency/maps.

To some extend it does make sense since pretty much everyone except the regular players has one by one, consoletards have an AH and the same goes for the China client (who also have a bunch of other qol changes like pets picking up wisdom scrolls and stuff and free respects prior to lvl 80)

The league is no more shit than anything post 3.0 sans Delve. People bitched incessantly about Harbinger rewards, Abyss liches, Delve flares, Betrayal everything. The only difference is that a lot of leagues spoonfed redditors powercreep to keep them quite.

>press one button
>explode the whole screen
>can't find any upgrades
>try to trade
>have to compete with thousands of bots farming exalts
This is the league I've played the less of. Didn't even last a week.

Attached: wutdahell.jpg (805x844, 57K)

Anyone more familiar with poe def is not expecting an auction house or any major trade changes with 4.0, maybe some laymen who get annoyed when their softcore bots dont reply when they're trying to buy chromes with exalts but thats not what 4.0 is gonna be. The "Auction houses" in the other versions of poe aren't auction houses at all so I dont know why anyone thinks anything similar is coming to the PC version.

honestly all I want is a currency revamp
having an entire tab of shitty little bits that all do different shit is gay af

The currency system in poe is probably one of its most ingenious so you must really be a retard to have this opinion.

because i've been playing grim dawn instead

I like how you conveniently ended the greentext right before I said "with every other past league".

But you know what? Bestiary maybe have been an AIDS league but in terms of player retention it was fucking amazing and that's all GGG cares about. With Synthesis there was (and is) a mass exodus that hasn't recovered despite the patching to the point where we have reached daily concurrent players on the level the game hasn't seen since fucking Prophesy league.
One month into the league and all GGG is doing is hyping up 3.7/the temp league coming and completely ignoring Synthesis, the league has the biggest bomb and wake up call GGG has had since 2.0.

>The league is no more shit than anything post 3.0 sans Delve
For you, literally. Despite problems everyone dickrode Betrayal and that is reflected both in launch numbers and by the fact that it had the best player retention numbers throughout the league out of every league so far in the history of PoE.

I do agree that Delve has been the best league post 3.0 but even at that the mechanics still need work imo.

Because Synthesis was limp dick and half baked. Also because of OPs picture. Melee is not in a good place right now and I've never been interested in playing caster characters thematically. I'll be back for 3.7 for sure to give Tencent all my money for MTX Exalt RNG.

People dickrode betrayal because it came with the forsaken master rework, rather than the betrayal mechanic itself.

How does the currency system in this game work? It seems like there's a fuck load of items that all do different things. Should i be saving them? Using them?

People also loved betrayal because you could idiot proof far breach stones with no thought, that's all you need for redditors to love your league

Probably needed more day 1 Headhunters in Synthesis too

I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed Diablo 2 again after playing PoE for a dozen leagues in a row.

Point of Sale?

And people are crapping on Synthesis not only because the mechanics are trash but because the core integration of Betrayal on every level (from having to unlock unveiled crafts again to bugs like encounters not spawning to inteligence gathering being so low at the start of the league it was mathematically impossible to reach the Mastermind before going to lvl 100 to the performance harakiri your PC takes every time there is an encounter.) was an abortion.

Point is that Betrayal overall was liked where Synthesis is not, each for their own myriad reasons.

hate niggers
hate karui
simple as

>hate niggers
>hate karui
That's redundant, karui are niggers.

I bet you enjoyed sacred 2, because you have no taste

The currency system is all a bunch of items that affect items in some way, it doesn't matter if you save them or use them because as a new player it'll be awhile before you'll be able to make smart decisions in regards to buying things from other players.

My advice would be use whatever you get without much care because by the time you start to get the hang of things the next league will be right around the corner and with a new league comes a fresh economy so everything is reset anyway.

I wished I liked grim yawn but that shit is boring and slow even by d3 standards let alone poe

Playing softcore with weird builds is the only way that game is fun

PoE is basically on the level of D3 right now, only difference is one is glass cannons everywhere the other is incredibly tanky

alright I'll go ahead and start using them then. Should be able to modify some of my gear for a really fun time. Just a question, but everyone says the currency system in this game is great. What makes it great in your opinion?

fpbp.

The game is designed either for autists who grind 24h/day or autists who grind 8h/day in groups. If you are neither of them don't expect to succeed.

what makes it great is that you can find Exalts and buy what you need. if you only have 30 fusings, i wouldn't try getting a 6 link. FYI, armor/weapon quality affects your chances at sockets and links.
And the stat requirement for the armor prefers that color (getting 6 blue on a STR armor is almost impossible)

Betrayal is so stupidly overturned. Made a new character yesterday, trying Oni-Goroshi, a free six link decent sword, since all life/melee is cheap right now. Destroyed content. Did all labs 10-15 levels under. Did my first map boss. Open second map, game freezes. Trio of faggota descend on me. Start chunking me. My damage does jackshit to them. They have 100 times as much health as the boss I just murdered. Its so fuckin dumb

>would unironically rather play d3 than poe and d3 is an absolute shit game
Actually this. In diablo 3 I can just open the rift and play, I don't have to spend 10 minutes alt+tabing from the game to Poe.trade and back again, spamming ctrl+c ctrl+v in hopes one of 100 people will bother to answer the question and actually sell me the map.

Original person you're replying to. What makes it great is it pretty much solves the problem that many mmo's have, inflation, without resorting to bandaid gold sink fixes like durability. It does this by giving the traded currency inherent value, they have inherent value because they actually do something, for example, chaos has a value right now, it goes up and down like any currency in any game but it's prevented from ever becoming worthless because if the value of chaos becomes too low it'll become cheaper to buy chaos and roll rares with them instead of using chaos to buy the rares, therefore increasing the value of chaos. Apply this to every currency in the game and you have the PoE orb system.
