I am. I recently got a very very nice promotion, too. EHG has been by far the best company I've worked at, and bar none the healthiest gamedev environment I've been part of. The gap between ehg and whatever would be second place in my resume is so large I can't even bother making the comparison. I'm working very hard towards improving the performance, co-managing the mtx store and the performance group. Also, our mtx store will be 100% cosmetic, no in game advantages even as tame as tabs. Not to dis on Poe, we just want them to be completely optional. We have a very good relation with GGG, speaking of which, and I'm very happy about that. EHG has been treating me very nicely, especially with my health issues I got a nice paid leave to take care of them and in general I get a lot of freedom in how I do my work. This sort of resulted in me having less time to Poe. PoE is still my favorite game but working on LE is so satisfying that it ends up fulfilling my arpg needs. Especially now that the 3 challenges left are just grinding. I'm not gonna lie, as far as the performance issues of the game go, there's a big battle ahead of us. While I'm not responsible for anything that slowed down the game, I am responsible for fixing it, so if anyone knows of anything game breaking or PC melting in particular feel free to dm me. The scene I fixed first was told me about it's slowness by a goon; ruins of welryn, is sitting on a peak 150% performance increase, from 60 to 150 fps now.

i don't remember any performance issues last time i played last epoch but when it comes to pc games, especially as old as my card is, you don't even bother trying to run stuff on default settings. i turned everything to low pretty much before I ever started the actual game lol. now if only poe would let me do that...

As someone who has 2+ mirrors into my unearth cremation build, I strongly advise against league starting it. Mapping loving sucks even with all this gear. You will have a much better league start experience doing almost anything else. But once you get some basics together (I'd say phant unearth phant cremation minimum) then you can consider transitioning, but if you do I strongly advise you avoid mapping and use other strategies (I did exclusively simulacrum).

Nephrite posted:Tell them to stop being cowards about Multiplayer. Not sure what you mean but I'm not involved with Mp. Ever since I joined in Mar the teams priority has been multiplayer and a lot of people were hired for that purpose. Me as a techart and the performance team i put together is an exception but only I don't deal with Mp directly. I wish I could tell more without breaking nda but we've had multiple waves of tests for f n f, then alpha, and at some point in the future beta. Multiplayer tests occur very frequently almost on a daily and some of our testers are big names and netcode developers with experience in, let's say, games of the same genre we both happen to enjoy. Like I said we have a very good relation with GGG also. Anyone not working on mp right now isn't because it's outside the scope of their skills or field and that's been the case for as long as I am in the company.Grtting multiplayer right isn't easy and there's s lot of effort on netcode, bug fixes, bandwidth, anti hack measures. I don't know when it will be ready but there's no lack of resources and effort put into it. Elentor fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jul 31, 2022 |

I expect GGG is going to take a hatchet to the current builds, and pair that with some additional nerfs to archnemesis mods to make it more palatable. There will probably be a bunch of small numerical buffs to the underused skills just so people stop asking for that, but GGG always tweak the numbers by such a small amount that it doesn't move the needle. Most of the meta shakeup will come from taking out all of the current meta builds. At least we are almost certain to get new skills this league.

archnem mods already got the hatchet. rares feel no stronger to me now than they did before this patch, even in gauntlet where there was a lot of damage reduction it didn't feel that different

If Skelemages or Absolution are fine, I'm happy. If those get thrown into the dumpster, I'll be content if some other minion build gets some love. Because I have a type, at least for league start builds.

I hope they nerf Seismic Traps/Exsang by whatever tiny percent is necessary to scare off a ton of people so I can give it a try, before I inevitably fall back on PConc for the 3rd league in a row.

i think seismic will get nerfed mainly due to GGG's reasoning not to re-balance this league. it won 6 classes in the gauntlet lol

The most important part of adding new uber boss content is also making sure no build ever can do it. Crab mentality game designers in this thread.

If Skelly mages gets obliterated, will there be a starter friendly to endgame Minion build left? I guess Phys skellies but that sucks for clear.

I would not be surprised if Absolution will only get minor adjustments. The skill is in the sweet spot where it is easily strong enough for all content, but nobody plays it because Skellies are just a straight up upgrade.

Okay, I think I've gotten my FR build as optimized as I'm going to get it without outside help. Anyone want to take a look at my pob and tell me if I missed some easy way to get better? I didn't really do that much research outside of looking at builds on ninja, so I might be missing some easy optimization. I can use a 3% attack speed jewel to get to exactly 10.1 attack speed, but pob says that will lose me damage vs my current jewels. I've got about 100ex I can still throw at this build if I want to, so I'm not looking at power charge rings or anything like that. https://pastebin.com/KKR9u8tB

Because this build should literally melt just about anything and basically never die. I've got like 1/3 your dmg and 25% less ES and have done all uber bosses (most many many times) and a 280+-depth Aul with unfriendly mods and juiced all-at-once Feared invitations and deathless Simulacrums and you name it. e: a very easy but dumb and super minor improvement is just anointing Arcane Potency instead on your amulet, according to PoB it's 0.1% more damage  e2: also just get more levels and invest in the crit wheels I guess?

Not really, I just like making numbers go up. I still have a decent number of challenges to do so I'll at least get to use it a bit before league end, but at this point it's more about making sure I made the number as big as I could after the amount of currency I dumped into it.

I'm slightly worried fleshcrafter is gonna be the avenue for a nerf, which is gonna hit absolution too.

I wonder if they will drop the gem / socket rework prior to poe 2.0. It would be extremely funny and cool to just see that at the end of the manifesto.

The gem / socket rework is a massive system change that will require a complete rebalance of the game, including all minion skills/builds and all items that grant a skill or support gem. It's not something they can just throw in on a whim. It's also easily one of the biggest selling points for PoE 2, so they would want to hold it back just for the hype.
