Still works
Are these episodes just not going to Spotify anymore? I haven't seen an episode since October because of this.
Tried 2 terminals one under Voodoo boys building and the other in the parking lot cannot interact with either.
🍻
how do i get into facility
You couldn't be bothered to press M and show the map? This video is useless without that.
Oversight on my part (must have edited it incorrectly as I always show the map). But here is the location. cyberpunk.puredmg.com/map/?openobject=582
All monk elemental skills scale from phys, including ice strike. Chaos is chaos though, not elemental. But.. there are no monk chaos skills (really). Maybe the one other thing you could do now is make a mantra of destruction chaos buffing flicker strike or maybe falling thunder. I almost feel like they could add lightning staff but for chaos dmg when they give them some more skills or a support gem that changes spells to chaos idk. But yeah the ascendancy needs more and the support for it needs to come. It feels like your just grabbing passive buffs from the ascendancy now. Which they all have anyway. On the topic of maps. I wouldn't care nearly as much how big maps are if I didn't regularly find myself going through them 2 times and maybe searching for something I missed another time.. nearly every map I go into. Including the campaign. Dead end monster traps are ok in obvious dungeons, but less of them like wayyyy less of them would be nice.
The druid bear looks so cuddly
Yeah I like how you didnt have the right technical ability to do it the easy way so you just cheated. thanks. I was hoping someone would show us the hard way.
Working fine, 12/28/2024.
this game disent resect your time there is noway i can put down 100 hours just to get to endgame.
D4 BAD
do you need phantom liberty to get this? i have the dlc but i havent unlocked it and i cant get into that area
Yes.
How does he not know that xp loss is your punishment for not building tanky. All the other aspects don't exist in PoE1 but he would still be against it, PoE2 will clearly make mapping less punishing but I'm sure they will 100% keep xp loss because it solves another problem. Johnathan clearly said that if you reached 100, what would the difference be between a glass cannon build that just one shots or gets one shot and died 1000 times to get there compared so someone who died fewer times due to a more well rounded build. That's why defenses are so important and ingrained into the culture of PoE build making, because there's actual stakes here. And time is not a stake xD we are all in here for the long haul.
I've always been a diablo super fan but I'm just disgusted by D4 monetization practices. 70 dollar base game 15 to 25 skins that can't be earned in game and for the story expansion 40 dollars with another one planned? I'm new to poe2 and see why it's so successful. I would bet blizzard greed will be the reason the game fails when poe2 content is 100% free.
PureDMg this podcast made me really think about why even i hit a really early wall this season. Ty you all three for supporting D4 despite the fact that yes just like all games there are faults but D4 is still fun and yes i guess i could rant about the things i dont like but honestly there arent many that bother me enough to waste the space. Thankyou for looking at the positives of the year along with the negs
Anybody else not getting updates for the podcast on Spotify? Cause it's quite disappointing.
This was a really good recap, it's been a crazy year, nice to reflect. Happy Holidays guys ❤
I play this new PoE-like called Path of Exile 2. It's only in EA but I've been having a lot of fun.
I mean, POE 1 is better and poe2 is looking like it will be better than poe1 once the full game is out.
what a mind numbing podcast......
Thanks for dropping by again!
Appreciated the different perspectives you guys had, the segment about GGG's vision is the most important in my opinion. People identify problems and devs find solutions to those problems according to their vision and objectives for their game.
Loot 3.0 ancestral base drops and you use materials to upgrade it to 3 stars. And upgrade stats with other materials just as PoE 😂
End game 2.0 need to be the next work to blizzard. Pit in his actually form is not really fun, and its the only challenging content. Maybe they must do Pit more like GR. Maybe they can add difficultys to IH and Kurast, for being more challenging .
GGG's biggest issue currently is that it's still using POE1 enemy structures in endgame. Flooding the screen with hasted mobs doesn't work with a slower, more intentional combat system. If this doesn't get addressed, we'll get back to POE1 levels of power creep before 1.0. I really hope they understand how devastating it could be continuing down this path.
They’ve turned the endgame into PoE1, where the slow and methodical campaign gameplay doesn’t translate well to the fast-paced endgame, which can be cleared with just one button.
I highly recommend doing at least the campaign on Hardcore. It's incredibly rewarding and its fairly punishing.
Rolled a ranger yesterday! Slow going but still alive!
Going into D4 now is useless and I would go sleeping within 5 minutes. Going into PoE2 EA now feels fun and rewarding even just for one Exalted or a rare item.
I think is impossible to hit billions without the paragon board. I haven't tested this. But my gut feeling tells me that the crazy part of the game is the paragon board. Which is the part that also adds a ton of hours of grinding and fun, soooo... heh!, good luck.
Exp loss is just part of the game. Using poe1 as an example, you will absolutely make gains through an entire day of grinding, even if you gained 0% experience. I would be very surprised if the same doesn't hold true for poe2. "Gotta be max level in softcore" is a very Diablo mentality...
16 minutes in and i don't know, how many times i smlied, grinned, laughed. Thank you guys. <3 Having a time of depression and you guys help. Thanks! Plus, still liking D4 feels better, hearing you talk ybout it. :)
Thanks for coming back and hope things are looking up!
@XanthXanth-j1z Thank you. :)
I'm hoping a lot of the dead ends in maps will eventually be filled with league mechanics lol
Sensual companion 😂
macro based take maps are way too big, mostly pointless
Oh No! More Shills!
love acolyte, full phys dmg with leech and loads of stun
Welcome back boys. Us diablo super fans never even left sanctuary. Congrats to poe super fans of course.
A few things as I'm halfway through the video. Feedback should be done through questionnaire and survey not the 1% of players making noise on internet as poe Andy's (I'm a poe Andy for like 10 years). Poe and last epoch make sure to keep updates away from same week. It's blizzard who will make it hard. Octavian started out as a streamer and played HC trade. His opinion is very valid I just wish sometimes mini introduction is needed. And a side note anytime I hear a new player in poe ask for guides I love it. Won't play poe but will play poe 2 cause of guides for the new meta build. Poe you don't need guides until endgame red tier map type stuff and even then the systems are very similar there are people who will play poe after 2 and find it enjoyable experience. Edit: put points into the map boss tree and you'll find out how hard bosses get in t18 maps 😂
"a punishment for failure is time" No, it means that lvl 100 is gated behind good play. You can't just ignore the bosses, no life the rest and make it to lvl 100. That's way lvl means something too.
i don't get what xanth is talking about with chayula monk, the flames of chayula give all damage as extra chaos not just phys, it's not convert, it's damage as extra, i'm tearing through shit even tho 2/3rds of my damage is elemental when i pick up those flames, the real problem with it is the uptime and consistency of the flames which in aoe you solve with mantra of destruction and a good powerful aoe attack like falling thunder or the bell, when i fight bosses i deal an okay amount of damage when they summon adds i suddenly hit for 4 times the damage thanks to my flames of chayula, also i'm playing pillar of the caged god too just on my monk cause i wanted to use chayula
I was more referring to the leech aspect as opposed to the chaos. Would love a build link if you got it!
@@XanthXanth-j1z, ah yes the leech is definitely weird, but consider that the bell is like the biggest damage burst in the quarterstaff skills and is fully physical, either way i didn't pick up the leech nodes not am i planning to, the chaos res and the damage as extra chaos are just imo better. I'm not really a build maker so my stuff is just a scuffed build i put together, i basically went out to the edge of the tree and made like a 240 degree semi circle picking up all the big attribute nodes and spaghettification, i literally have every node on the tree that gives increased attributes, defensively i went for armor and evasion so i grabbed the cluster at the bottom of the tree and that's basically where i'm at, the plan from here is good gear and eventually astramentis and the xesht int/dex stacking gloves for even more damage, this build is probably a more glass cannon version of the gemling stacker. Also to generate flames you do mantra of destruction with the bell since it affects the entire bell and not just the impact, on bosses you just do normal monk stuff, put bell down and ring it i know of another build by content creator noname, who is using the bell and basically farming TOTS cause he was a sanctum farmer back in poe 1, i haven't looked at it because i want to stay guideless as much as i can but he seems to be having success with chayula monk.
Kinda Funny sucks balls
Trying to listen to these knuckleheads is not pleasant.
I think the Gemling is the most versatile ascendency in the game. I'm currently playing one as a minion build and it's fantastic. Macro's analogy of D2 to D3 is not at all the same experience mainly because D2 was Epic and D3 was and still is trash. And PoE1 and PoE2 are both amazing in their own right.
Wait why am I listening to a controller player 😂
fellow busted hands bro here - macro makes some great points about controller. my big gripes: - no ability to easily jump to mouse/keyboard for inventory nonsense between lots of playing/etc - I actually dont mind the twinstick feel, but I am just not using the right stick since the auto-aim is mostly solid -when autoaim prevents you from looting shit on the ground mid combat. let me hoover the items! but yeah, otherwise this game is a dream to play for my busted carpal hands compared to last epoch.
good news: They said they wanted to make quick swap between controller and mouse cause they got feedback about it in their last playtest before release but couldn't get it done in time, it is definitely something they're working on, also looting in poe 2 feels a little strange even with mouse so hope they get that figured out, i've picked up far too many things i don't want so now i'm wishing for a good loot filter
Sounds like D4 is macroboi go to, allot of whining it sounded but he’s not my favourite too begin with.
The dude on the bottom is an elitist know it all. Would never follow his build guide no matter how good he is.
😂 ill let Mac know he's an elitist. He'll get a kick out of it
Insane take. Dude has broad knowledge on mechanics and how to actually accrue power in D4 and that intuition is transferrable to PoE2. Due to some of his damage mechanic videos I've figured out making my own builds and disregard all content creator builds, and I'm sure other CC's refer to his math and spreadsheets to optimize their own builds.
@PrimalDirective that's all well and good, but I don't care for people who talk like they are better than others even if they are. There are plenty of helpful build guides out there for new players. To each their own, though. If you like him, that's cool.
I tried watching him play poe1 for the first time on twitch. Left after 5 mins, he was intolerable to hear talk.
Super interesting to see people liking the endgame. I finally called it quits after a few t15 + 3 maps, and I was not enjoying that at all. I'd say 1-75 was pretty great, and then the gameplay experience and reward loop dropped off a steep cliff. Gonna pay attention though, cause I wanna see what feedback ggg takes to heart.
Im kinda confused by this podcast. Maybe its me being a first time listener but your guests complain about one shots and then also complain sbout monster speed and lethality. How exactly are you ever supposed to die then? XP penalty exists to force that only the best players hit max level and the game doesn't require you to do that for pinnacle content. Maybe it should kick in later but I think its necessary to force players to make well rounded builds and hit skillful play. The fact that they cant see that makes me think they have no more authority on the game than the average Redditor.
I think this is a fair take for defending the XP penalty. Speaking at least for myself, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an XP penalty on death in and of itself, but moreso that it stacks on top of other existing penalties for dying. I think we were more saying some part of the current death penalties should be eased a bit.
@@LeviathanD3 That's definitely fair. Personally I think the compromise is sitting back in POE1 - Just bring back 6 portals. If you can't complete a map in 6 deaths you don't deserve the league mechanics on retry and it solves the endgame boss problem of grinding for 100 hours to die to a boss and never see it again.
With them maintaining the six portals in POE2 already as well, that seems like the cleanest solution to me. Will be interesting to see what they decide!
@@ryanwidmer5311 I feel like with the recent patch they made maps already too easy for 6 portal defense. Like, what map would realistically kill you that often unless you run high tiers on your twinks? Honestly I'd prefer what they had in mind with maps actually failing and blocking the path because what really feels bad is running a map again with less juice than you wanted to. I guess there'd also be room for a orb of horizon type currency to reroll any map including a failed one to unblock that path. XP penalty is definitely needed. I don't quite understand the 'it doesn't respect my time' argument on so many levels.. I think the potential fun to be had in escaping near death situations *because* death would mean a significant setback is much larger than the fun in having guaranteed level ups per x amount of time invested.
@@TheExplodingCore the dps check on maps is laughably low, my friend who had the shittiest crossbow playing the post nerf gas grenade who had just entered endgame was clearing t15 on 2 player scaling and maxed breach easily. the maps are actually too easy I feel and they don't pose a challenge at all, once your defenses come online or you play a build that clears the screen before the mob can even get near you, its free. They need to make mobs have more hp, at this point I cant tell the difference between a tier 10 or a 15, that should not be the case.
Seeing MacroBioBoi on here now as well I hear Frostylaroo's voice "welcome back, you traitors" Seriously though I'm really enjoying the game so far (although some things that also kind of aggravating which will hopefully be smoothed out by launch).
Which changes are you hoping to see?
@@LeviathanD3 Great podcast btw.That's hard to say because some things seem to be baked into the core design and the developers probably won't change those. Like I think dodge should cost mana, but be able to i-frame everything. I also dislike how many attacks are very quick and not telegraphed well. However, things like skill balance are much more likely to be changed. I've made a dozen characters and had wildly different experiences with each one. I'll also be happy when more weapons and skills are added (although I realize that will make things more unbalanced again).
