POE2

This is the real kicker, for $30 you not only get the game but also MTX currency, I honestly don't understand how people can see it as scummy

People just want everything for free, no matter how good the game is or how much effort the devs put in

I've spent a considerable amount of money in POE, which I always feel good about because I feel like the devs really respect their players and don't just try to nickel and dime their way to an easy payday
 
I would gladly pay off a once off fee to just to get Local servers, we were fighting very long with GGG in POE1 for the local server, and believe me it makes a huge difference.!

We will most probably get local servers once whoever hosts the Poe servers deploy them, not sure what the controls are around that but it should be much simpler than getting the POE 1 servers for the first time

The gateway for authentication yes, but not the actual regional servers, if you log in you will either get Paris or Frankfurt or somewhere in EU servers to play on from what i've seen

I am playing on SA with 20ms they are already there, at launch they were fubar and it would redirect you to another server
 
Yea I'm pretty sure their gateway detection thingy is borked, I had to manually select the gateway closest to me as it put me in the US even though I'm playing from the EU. I've seen many posts online regarding this as well
 
There was a problem for 2 days with the SA server but guys on their official forum said it was fixed so I assumed it was. Didn't check last night but will check tonight.
 
Will check it tonight, was still on EU servers last night
 
Anyone playing this morning? I'm getting insane rubberbanding every few minutes for a few seconds. Game just freezes then everything speeds up after. Just got swarmed by a pack and got my 1st death on a new lvl17 character and I'm trying to go deathless so now I have to restart.
 
0.1.0d Patch Notes
General Improvements and Changes
  • Passive Block chance now applies to blockable hits from all directions, as opposed to just hits from in front.
  • Player size is now set to Zero units while dodge rolling instead of One unit.
  • Some smaller monsters can now be pushed while dodge rolling. This includes monsters such as the Adorned Beetles in Keth.
  • Inscribed Ultimatums and Djinn Baryas now display whether you will obtain Ascendancy Skill Points upon completing the Trial of Chaos or Trial of the Sekhemas respectively.
  • Removed World Map Pins for encounters that were not from specific locations in Areas. ie. From Monster drops.
  • Improved attack in place behaviour.
  • Rain of Arrows and Firestorm now have a hit-rate limit to prevent cases of them absolutely obliterating very large bosses. This will have little to no impact outside of boss fights with very large hitboxes.
  • Leech has been buffed.
  • Boneshatter now more reliably hits your target.
  • The duration of Armour Break has been increased to 12 seconds (previously 6).
  • To improve performance, Incinerate now creates circular areas of ignited ground instead of segments.
  • Added CTRL+Click shortcut to open the Currency Exchange at the appropriate NPCs.
  • Added a button to travel to the Trial of Chaos on the world map.
  • Added art for Close Combat Support.
  • Added 2D art for the Defiance of Destiny Unique Amulet.
  • Added "Ascendancy Skill Points" as a keyword, which details how sets of Ascendancy Points are obtained.
  • Added search functionality for Gemcutting and vendor inventories when using a controller. Keybinds for searching Stash on a controller have also been updated.
  • Added Gemcutting restrictions option for Gamepad.
  • Added suggested Supports for Time of Need.
  • Updated the suggested Supports for Bonestorm.
  • Added an option for opening the Trade website to the main menu for consoles.
  • Runes now sell to vendors for more Gold.
  • Updated art for Reserved Life and Mana.
  • Updated the description on Runes to clarify that once socketed they cannot be replaced.
  • Auras and Curses that affect ally or enemy resistances now display values in the Skill popout panel.
  • Tweaked the audio of the Kiwi Pets, Chimera Pet, and Baby Crowbell Pet to reduce their impact in town areas.
  • Updated the wording on the Invoker's "...and Protect me from Harm" Ascendancy Passive Skill to clarify its functionality.
  • Updated the description on Hexblast to clarify that it only detonates a single Curse per Enemy in its radius.
  • Updated the description on Fiery Death Support to clarify that the Supported Skill does not need to kill the ignited enemy itself.
  • Reduced the defenses provided to monsters by the Magma Barrier modifier.
  • Walking Goliaths no longer use their suicide attack if they are Rare.
Trigger Gems and Energy Gain
  • Trigger gem energy gain was not in the right place and it was far too easy to use ailments to trigger spells. One problem with the previous system is that if we balanced it to make triggering happen in boss fights then the triggering would happen far too often during clearing. In order to address this we are now making "Monster Power" part of the calculation for energy gain. This means that it's far easier to trigger skills from Unique Monsters than it is from normal monsters, but you also hit many more normal monsters when fighting. Another issue was using low level skills with unconditional ailment applications such as Flame Wall to ignite enemies for triggering. In order to make the source of the ignite matter we are making the energy gain be dependent on the strength of the ignite. We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board.
Ultimatum Changes
  • Generally improved balance across the board with Ultimatum monsters, bosses and modifiers. Mostly targeting outliers that were too difficult and bringing them in line.
  • The monster density of Ultimatum encounters has been made more consistent.
  • Stormcaller Runes, Blood Globules, Heart Tethers and Impending Doom rings no longer spawn while a player is on a lift or near the altars in the Vaal Soul Core room.
  • Fixed a bug where Player Minions could get stuck at the top of the lift in the Trials of Chaos.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug which caused enemies to be Primed for Stun or Electrocute earlier than intended while in a party.
  • Fixed a bug where Gemling Legionnaires with the Integrated Efficiency Ascendancy Passive Skill allocated could lose their 3 additional Skill Slots if they were empty when entering a new area.
  • Fixed a bug with party member reviving when using WASD input where you could revive party members from too far away.
  • Fixed a bug where "Waystones found have a chance to be a tier higher" on the Atlas Passive Tree wasn't working.
  • Fixed a bug where the Audio Mix setting was not being remembered when restarting the game.
  • Fixed a bug where one of the small Passive Skills in the Fleshcrafter cluster was not connected to the Notable Passive Skill. It is possible for your Passive Skill Tree to be reset if you had this cluster allocated, apologies!
  • Fixed a bug where you could not open a portal in The Riverbank in Cruel difficulty.
  • Fixed a bug where some of Zalmarath, the Colossus' skills could persist after their death.

  • Fixed a bug where some fire spells, such as Volatile Dead and Incinerate, were not functioning correctly with Raging Spirits.
  • Fixed a bug where "Buffs on you expire Slower" from the Prolonged Assault Notable Passive Skill and other Chronomancer Ascendancy Passive Skills was applying to Debuffs and other effects as well as Buffs.
  • Fixed a bug where non-reviving Minions were spawning a Remnant from the Grim Feast Buff when dying in your presence.

  • Fixed a bug where you could be unable to upgrade Gems despite satisfying the Attribute Requirement by having the Adaptive Capability Gemling Legionnaire Ascendancy Passive Skill allocated.
  • Fixed a bug where Fiery Death Support was not dealing damage correctly.
  • Fixed Infusion Support Gems on Herald skills applying the gain damage as extra elemental damage to all attacks instead of just the damage from the Herald skill
  • Fixed a bug where Expedition encounters could fail to generate in the Decay Map.
  • Fixed a bug where Quality on the Sacrifice Skill was causing Minions to Revive 0-5% more slowly, instead of more quickly.
  • Fixed a bug where the exit portal for the final boss in Trial of the Sekhemas did not visually display upon killing the boss.
  • Fixed a bug where socketed Skills you didn't meet the requirements for were missing their name in the Skills menu when using a controller.
  • Fixed a bug where the Elemental Storm skill granted by the Stormweaver's Tempest Caller Ascendancy Passive Skill could sometimes place the storm underneath you.

Annoying. Managed to kill the act 1 boss on the 3rd or 4th attempt. But.. I died before he did and then my DoT took him out. When I respawned he was dead and all his loot had vanished.

Yeah it sucks when that happens.

I'm also in Act 2 somewhere, but my poor CPU is really struggling even when the scene is empty, the game really needs more optimization.
