Yeah poe is almost entirely about making mistakes now and learning what they are so you don't make them next time. Plus you can still have fun with totally hosed up builds and literally it feels like each time i restart I go through everything 50% faster than the time before. Basically: if you feel like playing, play. Stuff is super cheap right now if you want to try things out, too.

Scoss posted:I know a lot of people are amused by it, but it's honestly super offputting how weird the PoE community and GGG is about Diablo. It's embarrassing console wars poo poo. It's because 100% of the poe playerbase has played diablo and because 100% of the devs have played diablo and because they've been deliberately competing with what they perceived to be an eventual credible threat to their success from a diablo sequel that doesn't appear to have any chance of meaningfully threatening them now. But that fear helped them own for a long time Like I've got a lot of hours in diablo over a lot of years but idk how tf blizz is going to even begin to compete with poe

Scoss posted:I'm not even remotely going to defend Blizzard over their recent controversies, but this attitude has been prevalent for years. ROS is fun but it has the depth of a browser clicker game and is 99% complete outside of farming up slightly higher stats after the first 6-10 hours per season. For that it's fun, but it definitely did nothing at all to move the arpg genre forward. Plus a lot of the criticism towards activision blizzard at this point is that no one really expects them to come out with anything novel, or especially polished, or really much other than the biggest microtransaction cash grab possible. Not after the waves of firings and the ascendancy of activision execs and the departures of almost everyone involved with old blizzard. That they are in competition is just a fact of life. It originally wasn't very adversarial (as ggg obviously openly and implicitly loves the diablo series) until blizzard went and just completely botched everything to do with the arpg market and ggg just wisely seized the opportunity to grab up some diablo exiles Ghostlight posted:poe definitely competes with diablo but tbh i don't think diablo competes with poe at all. people who want an arpg can choose between them but there's definitely people who just want blizzard-style polish and depth in the world they're familiar with and when they're bored of diablo they don't go looking for another arpg of the same style, they just go play other games until the next season/expansion. Yeah I mostly agree. I think the competition used to be more mutual, but everyone I know who used to double dip now just plays almost entirely POE, especially because blizz has only added content to D3 once in like 4 years (outside of just changing number values on items). I do wonder about the second part of that because I think most people come to POE after specifically looking for something else to do in the arpg genre after finishing yet another season of diablo Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Nov 15, 2019 |

Tenzarin posted:The action rpg market is far larger than iosometic rpg games. You found the weirdest way to misread that: Blizzard pissed off their arpg fans, not destroyed the market for arpgs obviously. Clearly the arpg market is happily existing without any entries from blizzard in years and years.

both the shapeshifting and the summoning stuff is very much them appealing to diablo fans/old genre ideals. Personally I don't get why either was so beloved, but arpg players really, really seem to like both.

Elentor posted:Still a bit on Mud Flats - here's a better example of the weak L-Tree: Notice how everything is fixed. Interesting, thanks for doing this. It seems like they do something extremely similar to how D2 generated maps (generally all maps were on a rectangle that would have parts cut out and numerous pre-designed chunks used for notable map features. D2 probably was more random afaict because they seemed to allow greater variety in location for the set pieces in each zone, but the procedural process was more or less the same, but with the bounds of the map better concealed. In D2, if you follow the edges of the map, once you look for the rectangle shaped world it was impossible not to see. I'm not super familiar with POE's map generation system, but a rule I've noticed it often follows is counter intuitive. Generally, you can solve any maze/labyrynth or just navigate something complicated where the entrance/exits are on an external wall on the same plane by taking all right or left turns. That will solve everything systematically. From what I can tell POE maps are almost always designed so that if you go straight down the middle and avoid hugging the walls that you will stay almost perfectly on course. It's interesting and obviously not random. The fixed start and ends almost definitely reinforce this, but it also makes sense because almost every non-boss fight quest objective isn't entirely on the periphery. Idk though, the layouts are interested and I enjoy the pseudo randomness of them as it works well. Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Nov 26, 2019 |

Bemused Observer posted:Could you link some details on that build? I love plaing Path of Touhou! I took my zombiemancer, popped in the gem that converts your skellies into skelly mages (wretched dead I think?), kept the barons set up at 1001 strength for healing from zombie melees (they're in a 5l or something, idk it doesn't matter) and the skellies are 6l in a tabula got a 4 gem movement setup and a cyclone + cast while channeling + curse + flesh offering for clear speed (bone offering for tankiness). blood magic spectres and holy relic on head with a free spot for something else. It's inspired by this http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2130105 If I did something to proc EO more consistently it would be substantially more ridiculous, too. That said, it's not a meme that you literally can't see anything so that's basically the hard limitation of it. You probably could make the projectiles fewer and stronger, but why even open path of exile at that point Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Dec 12, 2019 |

It's kinda crazy how much of a character's both durability and killing power/clear speed comes from jewels and flasks. I think from now on any time I reroll I'm literally buying all the jewels first and everything else after.

A ton of the forum guides are bullshit or profoundly optimistic or are showcased with like 400ex of gear. I highly recommend posting builds you're considering playing in here. If you've got a bit of game knowledge, seeing what people are playing on streams is a good way to get a feel for what builds actually work and what builds are just forums bs (you potentially run into the same 400ex of gear thing here, but with how popular ssf is, it's less common). Also poeninja is super useful if you're trying to figure out how people are making builds work. Jinnigan posted:Some pointers for spotting a bullshit build guide: Yeah the amount of lovely builds out there is one of the real weaknesses of poe (especially if people are playing HC, in which case lovely builds are supremely cruel). I truly don't know how someone new to the game is meant to find something good beyond just getting lucky with one of the guides or knowing people who know the game. Granted someone new probably is going to gently caress up the tree a bit, and not actually get the right flasks or jewels set up for the build, but still getting a good build 80% right is going to be vastly stronger and way more fun than most of the garbage builds that make up the guides on the forums.

If I could only use one hand, I'd stack a fuckton of life regen, use flasks pretty much purely for buffs/status removal and just toss them on a flask macro. Once you hit 8-10% life regen with a solid life pool/armor/with some +max resist and/or block your version of flasking becomes just backtracking away from damage for a couple of seconds if you take a big hit. Also makes bossing a lot easier because you don't have to worry much about life flasking. Only drawback to this is it limits what you can play a bit because to get that much defense and still have good damage, you have to use something fairly meta for your offense. Still, it's easy to get I think 4-5% regen off the tree and it's a sufficiently unpopular mod that you can pick up high regen roll gear cheaply.

That's making it sound way more complicated than it needs to be: don't make builds around uniques. make builds around getting a fuckton of life% on tree (or just copy the es tree spine off poeninja if it's an es league). Stack a couple defensive layers, add a pertinent aura or two, get a curse on hit corrupt or gem setup. boom you got a viable build
