The GGG / TenCent "Vision" Needs Glasses. (Video Act 3 Cruel Rootdredge v Cold Huntress)

Maybe there's a big enough market that wants that gameplay for them to be successful. Maybe.
I'd wager it's not many of the 500k players that played launch and aren't around anymore though. It also doesn't sound like it's any of the people that got them to where they are at today with PoE1. If that's what they want to build, they should quit beating around the bush and just say so / do it. That way the majority of players can leave, and there will be a free market for another game dev (that actually wants to make a game the players want to play) to come in and cater to. |

" Nope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BvHDyFnhK8 Not being one to pass up a good tip, I cut a level 12 Herald of Ice and ran it. No change. Actually it is markedly worse because I am now missing the defensive aspects of Wind Dancer. |

Didn't you quit because you tried to argue with a dev literally? Why are you here if you don't like the game?

" Dude you literally wrote a giant essay of what was wrong with the game and left now you came back lol The essay is still there too are you just going to keep coming back and keep writing essays whom likely have no affect or do anything?

Your character neither has a meaningful build nor a good execution.
#1) You do not use any single target damage combo. An example for a working leveling combo is casting multiple storm lances triggered by explosive spear. Since you are not using any skill designed to deal single target damage, your damage is low chip damage. Mere auto attacking should be similarly effective. Your playstyle vs the boss is basically equivalent to not using skills at all. #2) I can help you with 5:06. In this zone there are zombie-like enemies that walk towards you and explode when reaching you. You seem to be oblivious to the danger and directly walk into them. That leads to your death. Those enemies have obvious green markings, there are large green explosions and they have been already encountered before these boss. If I remember correctly its not always best to attack them, because they will explode on their own after a while. #3) If you want to play a frost based huntress, you need to combine multiple things: -herald of ice: for additional damage through ice explosions -the frenzy charge generation on freeze will gem (with +50% chance to generate extra charge support gem): to generate frenzy charges for glacial lance -all kinds of support gems like +% freeze, +% damage for attacks on freeze, +% cold damage, ... -a passive tree that supports the playstyle (e.g. +40% extra damage on next ranged attack after a melee parry) -wind dancer with the support gem that roots enemies would be good as well -decent gear (e.g. solid damage and not a lightning weapon) 4) It's not good to spam skills. One casts a single fangs of frost after parrying. One basically always want to use the improved version with some exceptions like executing a frozen low hp unit to trigger a herald explosion. This usually already freezes an enemy and generates 1-2 frenzy charges for glacial lance. Glacial lance is also to a degree self-sustaining, because it can generate new charges via freezing. Be mindful when spending a charge: there is no point in casting it 3 times in a direction when a single frenzy empowered cast is enough to kill the enemies there. Note: this is only intended as AoE-clear. If for whatever reason the damage doesn't feel high enough, go for a crossbow weapon swap build and shoot at the enemies with Siege Cascade once they are frozen. The 200% damage bonus versus immobilized (=frozen) enemies does the job even with really bad gear. Conclusion: You are inventing a fictional story that your kind of gameplay is "how GGG wants us to play". While your gameplay is slow, it isn't "meaningful combat". You spam skills without thought, using them in ways they are not designed to. Likely you just troll and play intentionally bad. Last edited by Elena#1466 on May 10, 2025, 1:15:30 AM

" [Removed by Support] So how about you roll fangs of frost, show us your magical build and just record it and we will watch the video. My guess is you wont because you are full of it. I was going to pick apart that nonsense you wrote but it would ba a waste of time. I did like this one especially: "there is no point in casting it 3 times in a direction when a single frenzy empowered cast is enough to kill the enemies there." ROFL ... oh my god that is a good one. It takes like 3 shots to kill white zombies with Glacial lance and like 6 to kill hulks. Oh and there is this funny one: "One casts a single fangs of frost after parrying." Hilarious. You go ahead, show me how its done, parry and single FOF ... come on ... while 40 other enemies beat you to death you stand there with a dinner plate up. Ok ... ok ... laughing too hard ... You just record a video and show us all how its done. We will be waiting for your magic super elite god like gaming swap combo parry weapon swap skills. Cant wait to see the video. Make sure you link it in this thread. Make sure you show your level, your gear, your skills, your passive tree. You dont get to take a level 90 into this zone make a fake video. Show it all in one cut, no editing. If you don't .. we will know you are full of it. In the meantime, thanks for the bump. Last edited by Scott_GGG#0000 on May 12, 2025, 5:20:00 AM

Oh there is more, the infested barens is just hilarious. And no, people, herald of ice doesn't "FIX IT" and like other cross class skills, it is not intended and heavily punished. to run HoI you need such a big INT investment that your DEX suffers greatly and that causes major problems with damage and evasion. I know someone will say "run ES tank" but to do that you have to be on another part of the tree; and tree surfing is HEAVILY punished in POE2. Others are saying "Lighnting spear is the skill to use" and I suppose they didnt get far in the OP when I told them lightning spear will be nerfed.
This is what GGG considers engaging gameplay, meaningful combat. I am staying within Huntress as they obviously want me to. I am using combo skills and parrying when practical. I am getting charges to empower my skills. All the things they say will make the game great. It doesn't. They are down 95% of players since launch and still people troll this thread saying the game is fine. WOW. I am here to try to save the BEST ARPG ever known. GGG needs to sit down and re-evaluate. They need to go back to making a sequel to the best ARPG game ever built. They need to stop trying to make POE2 "souls like" and start making it POE1 like.

Yeah if this game actually heads this direction once it's out of EA, i'll be gone playing something else. I rather play a real Souls-like than this garbage. It's not fun, you feel absolutely no power.
Dear Jonathan can play this garbage by himself, for himself. Thank you but no thank you. |
