Path of Exile V2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

Good job PoE reddit mods, you've managed to get at least one of your accounts stolen and the subreddit made unusable :why:

Welp. There are probably more "worthwhile" places to fuck up than the PoE subreddit but okay...

[video=youtube;sY0rpsSa0SU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY0rpsSa0SU&feature=youtu.be[/video] Pohx, one of the largest PoE streamers and one of the hosts of State of Exile got all his accounts hacked. They got access to his Twitch, PayPal, Twitter etc. I hope they don't cause too much damage.

"One password to rule them all" 2016... go figure!

something that immediately jumps out at me is how by crushing down the exp amounts so that they are scaled from 68 upwards it explains why everyone hates red maps ie the gorge meta going up 1 tier gives 0.5% more exp, which is hilariously bad they should have uniformly scaled exp in endgame or actually increased the exp it takes to level up at high levels

No wonder why leveling at 85-86+ felt like such a pain. I agree with what ZiggyD and Zenocide said on the State of Exile podcast the other day. 1-90 should be relatively quick with smaller XP penalties approaching 90. If you want to penalize people who hit 100 in two weeks, make the curve steeper at 90+ rather than 80/85+. Penalizing the casual player who might only have one or two characters 85-90 every league is the wrong thing to do.

skill effects sure are well optimized

obviously for the secret 40-44 twink bracket

[quote]Will there be a raise of the level cap eventually?[/quote] [quote="GGG"]As we continue to add new content, we need to creep the highest level of that content upwards so that it provides more challenge and reward. Currently the highest level of monsters/items that you naturally encounter are level 84. This will be a few levels higher in the 2.4.0 expansion in a few months, and probably higher still in next year's 3.0.0 expansion. While there's certainly a lot of room left before we start getting to level 90+ content, all of this makes it exponentially easier to reach the maximum level. We'd then be left with a choice of purposefully slowing it down more, or raising the level cap. Such a choice would not be taken lightly.[/quote] Pretty interesting, so 86-88 level mobs in 2.4? And maybe even 90+ mobs in 3.0? I wonder how they're going to balance the XP curve.

I really hope they won't go with lowering the leveling speed, slow leveling is the bane of many RPG games.

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;50649948]I really hope they won't go with lowering the leveling speed, slow leveling is the bane of many RPG games.[/QUOTE] they've already slowed it down as of now with the recent changes, I dont think it can go any slower from here, or leastways I hope they dont slow things down even further

alt art volls devotion for the 1k point reward...

[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;50669450]alt art volls devotion for the 1k point reward...[/QUOTE] The race rewards seem so lazy. Medallion race league, amulets only... How boring. The coolest part about alt. art is the alt. 3d art. Will Demigod's Presence be a Demigod reward this league? Considering the theme is amulets.

the whole point was so that they don't need to make 3d art, they have a big enough backlog already

Dull posts, filler content, stealing some audience time & views, while the game severely lacks improvements and performance optimization efforts are lackluster.

All I can say is so far as I've seen, GGG have kept their promises, so while it might take a while for the engine to be properly updated, they'll get to it eventually. Also, money for the game has to come from somewhere, it's better than having to pay a subscription.

The game doesn't run very well, and I have huge problems with my Nvidia drivers crashing all the time. But at least GGG has promised to work on fixing the issues with the game, they probably have large changes planned for 2.4/2.5/3.0 when it comes to optimization and engine improvements.

They could fix 99% of complaints if they just did what the various hacks available have been doing for years, an option to remove particles, or even just an option to disable particles that aren't from your own skills, it can't be that difficult. I love the game but they wont be getting any more of my money or playtime until they start fixing performance problems.

[QUOTE=Derpmeifter;50696481]the art team doesn't have anything to do with performance fixes i know the game desperately needs to run better but this is such a monumentally stupid position[/QUOTE] I don't think I mentioned the art team specifically in what I wrote... ... I was just writing in terms of content releases and what's focused right now... You see xy number of mtx and/or 3d art (from the art team ofc), while the other much needed fixes for optimization & performance are promised in next patches. What's the entire dev team doing then, if they don't fix anything in a timely manner? It's 2016 already, game engine is bawlz, no 64 bits client after 3 years... I really want this game to succeed and recommend it to my friends, but in its current state, dayum! And if player retention (by all means) isn't GGG's goal, then they failed and game's going to turn into an mtx release platform, with mtx up the ass and directX 11 support in 2020.
