This was the worst update in the short history of Path of Exile II

It's called "penne in bianco" - yes it's bad.

Here we call it "Macarrão ao molho branco".

scarabs (new precursors) - poe 1


At this point, id settle for scarabs. Precursor tablets are like your base-level scarab that you need to run the content you want with 2 random mods that are underpowered and, half the time, arent even related to the content youre adding with the tablet.

They didn't just copy scarabs over. They found a way to make them worse.

This summarizes well what this update was.
The Atlas lost all its flavor and you look at it and just see blanc or blue dots and nothing else.

And then you enter the maps. And now we don't even know where the elites are because GGG removed the skulls that marked the elites.
So if you want to clean the map (like most people leveling would), you still need to open the entire map, but now its worse because you need to search every corner to see if arent any elites missing.

And the bosses, ohhh the bosses...

Good luck to anyone in high levels (above 95) that now need to face every boss in game even if he doesn't want it. Risking his xp that at this point is really, really hard to get, just to complete the map.
And now he has to level with a gun in his head ready to trigger at any moment with a bad luck in a boss fight.

I will be honest, I hate everything in this update.

You took a lot of quality of life accumulated with past updates and flushed down the toilet and even now I don't understand why.





Bro you're complaining that you have to actually play the map instead of playing Path of Minimap while you still die to map bosses at 95?

who are you even speaking for? Do you like, want to play the game? or want the game to play itself for you?

Seconded.

They want all the juice but cant beat a map boss I guess.


Very weird.
Mash the clean
Dying in every other boss map and when I do kill the bosses, they drop me 1 waystone only at 165 MF gear with juiced maps. So I progress, then die and can't level up. Skill issue, yes, probably. Gear issue, yes, tho I kill mobs easily. Crafting? Nope, don't have 70 divs to craft some godly gear. Time? Nope, not a full time gamer that can do 24 hour streams. The way it was previously was ok, we just live our lives, log on to relief stress and when we get bored of the seasons, we log off till the next one. So, its time to log off now until GGG stops listening to those min maxing influenzas who make everyone sick.

Why is it about other people when you are complaining about your own prog? Maybe should talk about how you'd like your experience to improve instead.. like maybe more ex sinks so you can find enough ex to turn into a div, or cheaper precursors by making better more rare ones for crazy invested mfers to use, or just more viable strats in endgame for mappers so you are not railroaded into doing the same thing as them

Doesn't really make sense to not get rewarded for time, or to just be able to skip to the aspirational content, does it?

I'm always behind the bulk of players just due to IRL time constraint of, you know, having a job and being a husband and also trying to solo renovate my basement. I watched some video on how to craft stuff I can afford a single one of those homogenization omens lol. I have some ritual tablets I guess I'll do them and pray.

I'm not really complaining, in general I'm having fun I just think it's funny that if people complain they can't afford to buy gear in trade they say that you should instead just be crafting stuff but I can't afford to do that either lol.

I really thought I would like this update. It just isn't fun. It killed my desire to play anymore. Also really annoyed that there is no reduction in chilled and ignited ground like they said.
I was loving it and this last update was just a massive record scratch. Haven't played in a bout a week now and I won't be back till I hear good things in the forums.
It would have been ok if they actually FUCKING TUNED THE BOSSES.

Every single one of their auto attack oneshot, especially the new bosses introduced in 0.3.0. It's fucking infuriating. Where the FUCK is tactical combat when everything just oneshots you?
