1000% agree with your take on toning down offensive scaling and tuning defensive scaling up
performance definitely got worse in some places
yeah shaders are recompiling a lot for me as well, I would say it is a bug.
Molten vault is awesome they added 2 keys that unlock 2 gold chests.
The only decent thing about the farrow questline is that he will spawn at the entrance of the map so you know if you need to find the runestones
Defense still feels ass in this game
I actually really enjoyed the Rune quest line throughout all the acts. Was the most seamless integration of a league mechanic they have done and they had a decent amount of lore in it as well.
Delerium is nuts. I got one shot by one of those white mobs that spawns through like 5k ES
Totally agree on defences, give us more/better options so we can invest into something
The campaign is still confusing, the map layouts are still terrible. The loathsome mire map is fucking huge and stupid. The memory leak is ridiculous and needs to be fixed. I can play for an hour max before it's so bad. Breach has been super fun
Return atlas passive respecing. You can unlock them all is a shit excuse
Performance, stuttering... Defence totally agree...
1:15 there are quite a few zones that became full of narrower hallways the venon crypts, jinquani machinarium and the prison are the biggest offenders imo
The amount of build and gamebreaking bugs, with so many terrible choices makes this feel like a good 6/10 game, like there a base but damn so much bad atm.
Does delirium not drop rewards upon finishing anymore? Delirium feels bugged for me I’ll be at the end of the bar and kill the map boss and it’s still counting down and if I hit the end delirium button it doesn’t drop anything
Yeah something up with shadercache, with both Vulkan and dx12 after deleting caches still big problems
All the way since the first PoE2 launch I absolutely dread the design of Act2. Its just so unituitive to navigate the caravan and to know where to go and what leads where etc. IMO that part should be visually overhauled (the quest map I mean). I also agree on your take with the runestone questline. I just ignored it at some point.
Glad you're enjoying! My PTO last week and the beginning of this week was not wasted, having a blast personally.
I discovered the hard way that the first Abyssal Lich encounter with the guy with the rolling balls lets you put in a tier 6, I think, map to run the map. The abyss, however, is level 79 still. My character was not ready to fight a level 79 boss 😅
11:58 damnn the monkey looks so good, I thought it would have awful clear but that fullscreen slam is nutty
