In January 2026 I challenged myself again, wanting to "beat" Path of Exile 1 in 24 hours (in-game) on a Free-2-Play account.
Thanks to Pohx and his amazing build guide, I was more than ready. Still, it wasn't that easy and took a lot of on-the-fly thinking. Enjoy my journey!
@ElaiCCC@Avalanchea_ Sadly, that also doesn't work, because:
1. the game is too complex, where 10% on the skill gem could be far more down the line and suddenly 1 skill is the meta for 4 months, which people also hate.
2. marketing. 10% to a couple gems doesn't sound as good as "selfcasting rework".
NEW PATH OF EXILE 2 VIDEO!
The last video on performance was back in September 2025, so I thought of making an updated version, even though nothing really changed in how to set up the game. Enjoy anyways ๐ https://t.co/4lQAmb5Ljm
@s_fiend66588 Well, that's subjective.
I personally dislike the idea of a thing moving away from me and having to chase it for it to do the thing I'm most interested in - spawn monsters, giving me loot.
Abyss wouldn't really be better either if you got more loot when you "chased better".
@OgiNias@majonez_w@pathofexile Probably. Similar to what they did for Breach two leagues ago.
Keeps the scope for the league low and gives them time to focus on other issues players have.
@s_fiend66588 The Abyss in PoE 1 is not opened. You as the player need to run over the rumbling trigger on the ground, trigger moves through the map in random directions, opens the big holes, after killing enough monsters, it can move on or open an Abyss Depths. - Rinse and repeat.
@MartoRoss The "shaders aren't stored/cached" is not a global issue. It works on my machine and I'm sure on many, many streamers PC. Still important for the player to figure out why it doesn't work on their PCs, especially on similar hardware. But yes, developers may be able to "fix" it too
