Worst year of PoE so far.

Definetly one of worse years for poe so far. GGG focus on poe2 so much that this year we got 1 bad league, 1 good league and 1 microwaves half league where nobody plays, which results in 0 market you can't craft items, can't buy items, can't buy bases, can't sell bases. So basically out of 12 months we got 2 months of poe this year. So far from "poe 2 will not affect poe 1 wellbeing"

yeah but half of poe2 is coming soon, which will fix everything... right?

While I'm not a huge fan of the last few decisions made by GGG I still think that it wasn't a bad year at all. Why? Because we got FAUSTUS and for me that was the best thing added to the game ever!

It really doesn't though? Ever since we got the PoE 2 reveal the game only has gotten better. Significantly so. A lot of the QoL and features we have and enjoy now are directly taken from PoE 2. It was stated that PoE 2's development won't negatively affect PoE 1 and it hasn't. Obviously, PoE 2 being the companies future (financially speaking) and game they actually wanted to make from the beginning, it makes sense to shift priorities towards launch this one time.

It's a exception, not the new normal. Deal with it.

Yeah its obvious that a skeleton crew made leagues like Crucible lol, then it only got worse as we got delay after delay and suddenly shifted to a 4-month league cycle, and this current league will be like over half a year long. That's pretty bad, and its definitely affecting poe 1. So poe 2 not affecting the game was just a straight up lie.

The only good thing so far in months is Faustus, necropolis's only good feature was allflames that added cool rewards to the maps and the rest including the convoluted trashy graveyard crafting was just a failure. I never sold any of the items I made with an entire graveyard and the most anything sold for was some random ass bow with triple t1 ele damage to a deadeye that had just gotten to maps for 1 divine. Waooow such profits. The only other profits were from certain unique corpses cus people wanted em for some reason. And people wonder why crafting is so unapproachable by so many players lol

And the current league is just nice cus you can get lots of divines,expensive tattoos and mirror shards from doing 50 mil shipments. Those rewards were literally the only thing motivating me to play settlers past getting 40 challenges.


And we don't even know if poe 2 will be as successful as they hope it to be, the game isn't out yet. And its only gonna be like 3 acts and some unfinished endgame that you'll be underleveled for because ha-ha "annoying game design=difficulty". Have fun grinding to lvl68 in the final act 3 zone before you can touch a map, in a beta you paid 30$ for btw. They have no clue just how big a part of the average playerbase that are in sc trade will be completely chased off by this dark souls clone obsession in poe 2's design. Many people will try it because of initial hype,the pretty graphics etc. but then they'll just drop it when they see it simply isn't fun for them. And you don't have to believe me, the steam numbers will say it all.

I just hope they actually split the people working on both games equally when poe 2 is out like they promised.

Honestly 2 was all that was needed.

Settlers and all of its massive changes is my top #1 league and it’s not even close to the next one.

This necro combo is pretty amazing as well only had 2 days off to play it so far and I’m loving it (no tm)

I actually did not enjoy necro all that much and didn’t have time to play it anyways so settlers def made up for it and then some

You should have taken the time to learn to gravecraft man, Triple fracture bases and pendy pact jewels were all $$$. corrupted blood ES perandus pact jewels were the easiest money craft in the game

Yeeah, the first 2 are pure gamble strats because you don't know what you'll get from stacked decks, and I think I tried that div card vacuuming one that puts them all on the boss and it dropped nothing good lol
I make more chaos just selling all my scarabs with Faustus.

Then titanic exiles are only doable by people who are already rich af and have a build that costs 10 mirrors, at that point I wouldn't be farming maps I would have stopped playing the league. Stuff like titanic scarabs should just be deleted from the game, its not healthy for it. It's utterly unfair that 0.01% of builds and players can do this strat that literally breaks the game and gives you loot explosions, while the rest are stuck farming t16s alch&go. And I hope they nerf them, or straight up delete rogue exiles. I'm tired of some random player constantly finding these exploits every league and ruining the economy with it.

So anything you or your build can't do is an "exploit" and should be nerfed or deleted from the game. Gotcha.
