I've heard that drops are a bit disappointing. I haven't played long enough to confirm but if it is they should really up the drop quality.

 

[j0hnnix]

PS5 seems to not be cross progression at all.

None of my pc characters are available.

This bothers me. Because I wanted to move to PS5 when home and not just play on the legionGO or GFN.

I can't bitch about it, I've found a game breaking crossbow that made me kill bosses with normal ammo in about 15 shots. There's always crafting as well.

Yeah and i've heard the vendors have nice stuff also provided you have the money to buy it.

Don't rely on just 'drops'. In my experience having a decent kit relies on every opportunity to upgrade gear the game allows for:

• Always keep a look out for whites (also through vendor assortments) just below your level (specifically for a gear slot that is 'lagging behind') and use the upgrade to rare with 4 modifiers orb. This method gave me the best pieces I'm currently using
• Dispose of magic/rare gear you don't need by a mix of selling, disenchanting and salvaging, so you're building up a steady supply of orbs/mats to upgrade gear, while also having money for the gamble merchant or buy a decent piece of gear

So dumb question. On the over world map there are skulls and chests etc. How do you know what’s been done or not? If the skulls are dull they are completed and if they are lit up they aren’t? Don’t know if I need to go back or not lol. Hope this makes sense lol

 

[cormack12]

Which is the gamble merchant?

I still haven't Completed act 1 yet. I have hooded dude, una and renly at camp

 

[Spukc]

Can i loot online? From third party sites?

It’s the kid, available from the start in the camp.

Yeah, if they are grey you already clear them. If playing with gamepad, press the right stick while on the map to read the description of those icons.

Ok thanks, so what if they are flashing?

The ones that are done are greyed out slightly. Probably needs a tweak to make it more clear but there is a subtle indicator at the moment.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Not sure lol. Think that means those were just added to the map?

Pretty sure that's just an indicator that something "new" happened. Like you killed the boss. Should just hover over it and it'll stop flashing. I think.

Yeah I got confused by this the first time. Thought a lit up icon was completed and vice versa. Would be nice for them to add a small red X to things you've completed

Different people seem to be having a different experience so I would not be surprised if the rng spread is too wide or if GGG are testing to find the balance between so many you get too powerful and so few you get stuck.

For me so far it feels okay. Have some rares that are a combo of found and crafted. And I have a fair amount of currency to use.

Oh shit the game has jiggle physics. Well so far the game is a 10/10 for me.

I prefer how my screen isn't cluttered with crap all the time. NPC vendors sell good items. One of they keys is the crafting system. If you see a good high roll magic item in the shop, it could be useful to turn into a rare.

No, this is not diablo 4. Drops are fine.

Started a Monk. On the end boss of act 1. Think the game is something special. The combat loop / feel is amazing (but not perfect). The story, voice acting, visuals and music are all top notch aswell. This is what I expected from D4 at launch.

Technically the game also runs like a dream on PS5 Pro. Very crisp at a locked 60fps so far.

Is there anyway to get a higher inventory space?

Try the 120hz, it runs rock solid around 97fps on my LG with VRR

Buy stash tabs for your stash, but if you mean to carry on you then i don't think so.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

warrior skill Boneshatter feels very very very strong against bosses

just finished act 1 boss, the boss was heavy stunned most the fight. you can just spam Boneshatter as it is pretty dang easy to prime them for stun

still loving warrior a ton

That's exactly where I am with my Monk atm.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Okay, I'm a complete noob at this game, even though I played some PoE prior to PoE2.

How do you decide which armor pieces are best to use? Does rarity > level?
Currently lvl15 witch (necromancer/bones) and stuck at the Ogham Manor boss.

My level shouldn't be the problem I think, so I figured I'm under geared.
Almost all my skills are lvl 4 or 5, so I assume that's appropriate?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Left a few uniques on the guild stash, have fun with those.

 

[Spyxos]

Does Poe2 save at the big boss fights? Or do i have to run there again for an hour?

There's a checkpoint right next to them.

Yea but last time i died next to a checkpoint. The whole map was not available anymore after new login.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

how do I join the guild

Instances reset between every 8 to 15 minutes. I don't know if they reset on login too but it could be the case.

Send your player name to either clarky or Rentahamster

I got the unique gloves...Perfect for my poison based ranger...Left there my rare gloves.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Is there any other ARPG that plays this good? Seriously, I'm having the time of my life and feel like I've been missing out.

Think I'm in the middle of Act 2. The boss of Titan Grotto (location) has been very challenging, but man what a fight, both the epicness and gameplay are above anything else.

Once you get bored with PoE2, you can try PoE1 and Last Epoch. Last Epoch does some interesting and innovative things as well.

I've heard "No Rest for the Wicked" plays similarly but i haven't played it. Honestly i probably won't cause PoE2 gives me all i need in that direction.

True! Forgot about that one, looked cool but since it released on EA I didn't pay too much attention to it.

I hope GGG keeps this direction with POE2, if so I can see myself playing this for many, many hours.

 

[nnytk]

Bought this yesterday for PS5 (Pro), just tried to play a bit but the game suffers from terrible lag/input lag. Going back to main menu and reconnecting solved it, but then I entered another instance and the lag was back.

Feeling some buyer's remorse here and CTRL+F didn't show any other "input lag" issues on this page in the thread. Is this a "Europe" issue? Or any other players here on PS5 who have similar lag issues?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Are more classes coming and the ability to change gender/race?

 

[amigastar]

More classes are coming for sure from 6 in EA to 12 classes at release i think. Not so sure about the gender&/race ability to change.

 

[MagiusNecros]

The answer is no. If you love a more rigid Souls kind of game and material gathering for the main hub then NRftW might be alright as far as playing as good as PoE2 I really don't think there is anything on this level. Even if you compared PoE to PoE2 the style of play I believe is very different.

You have game that is slower and methodical and offers some challenge versus something that is either hard bordering on masochism or something so easy it becomes a zoomer walking simulator.

I think DavidGzz mentioned having those issues on Series S. Seems to be a console thing, no one on PC has reported that.

 

[havoc00]

There were two sections with problems so far:

Mausoleum boss had noticable frame drops. And in Hunting Grounds map there is tearing. Also Hunting Ground has visual artefacts that look like mipmap aliasing.

Antialiasing in general could be better in some areas.

But other than that it's a very pleasant experience. I am happy.

Will play my next char on PC to check out wich version I prefer.

How are the haptics?

Diablo 2 is also very good, although this game has much more depth

 

[TintoConCasera]

Bros, the warrior has a skill that's basically arc of deliverance from Dragon's Dogma. Holy fuck this game.

Yeah played that one back in the day, as well as the Resurrected remake. Fun as fuck but I find the gameplay in POE2 to be much better. Like an evolution of the genre even.
