@ismaexp Still bugged

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@kamithiusu Monsters gain effectiveness as you go deeper in the map. Or the higher the bar goes at the bottom. High effectiveness means more loot/exp though. Definitely DONT run it when youre not ready yet.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@ChadMoriyama Yeah was right on the corner it is what it is. Top of the lineup couldnt produce shit.

@CultureCrave @GQMagazine Lots of people saying Tenet is bad, but i thought it was good

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@lolcohol Is there any website where we can see these new rolled, non-natural modifiers yet?

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@CircusCircleG The fact that warrior has to resort to use boneshatter with high attack speed to move while mapping is a sign of a big problem with balance in the game. Rather than working on so many minion stuff, i want them to work on balance

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@GorathaPoE First time SSF in POE2, Ice Nova Chronomancer with some COC Comet cause i found Maligaro's Virtuosity crit gloves on a unique glove remnant lmao. Gearing is very tough though, i still haven't unlocked the full breach tree despite having a lot of wombgifts already.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@GorathaPoE I have work and can't play man. Can't wait to go back home and get to T15s. It actually feels good to play SSF now, theres genuine reason to play every league mechanic, and every league mechanic is fun now imo.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@pathofexile I also don't get why minions can have non-conditional modifiers on the belt while casters have to be conditional with flask effects. Genuinely, delete minions

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@pathofexile That Xoph crit modifier on the amulet is highlighted in white. Is that considered a guaranteed/crafted modifier, which in that case you can't use any other crafting methods on it?

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@tartarus_MoE @JamesMaleedy @GorathaPoE Theres literally a new crafting method introduced in the new league we don't have full information on yet, and the breach tree is in the game. Go gamble in the casino then, its literally not even that big of a nerf you can still use essence + desecration. Bunch of babies.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@Tanabe_MakotoPS Would have loved to have recombs with this change though, at least the "bricked" items can potentially be saved. Before this, things were too deterministic, even more than poe 1 imo.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@Tanabe_MakotoPS Breach tree, if its anything similar to poe 1, will make it easy to get 2 or even 3 great mods on an item. Then you can essence and desecrate. I think its a necessary thing to do considering the new expedition crafting and breach tree craft.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@JamesMaleedy @GorathaPoE Its not gambling, you just have to play the game more to get the best items. I do want more crafting, but getting 5-6 guaranteed mods on your item with 2 perfect essences and a desecrated mod is just not it. Just wait and see how it plays first. You're dooming already.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@JamesMaleedy @GorathaPoE I'm gonna wait for the verdict of it being fun or not after i play it. What i know is that the crafting was way too deterministic before, even compared to poe 1. Even recombs have a chance to miss, but it does makes you use alts, delete bases.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@JamesMaleedy @GorathaPoE I'm still starting SSF. I think breach tree will be very strong still. You can probably get 2-3 great mods there, and get another from an essence/abyss mod. It also makes uniques a bit more valuable imo. So if your build's okay with uniques, just start ritual, else go breach

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@JamesMaleedy @GorathaPoE I think considering by how much power creep there has been, this is a necessary thing to do. However, i can see them buffing this bit by bit based on how the league is going. As they say, mid league buffs are okay, they're never gonna nerf anything, best start low then.

[Alph @RolandAlph]

@GorathaPoE Generally i think item acquisition will still be somewhat fine considering Breach Tree is in the game. But to have that many crafting systems in the game and you cannot use them together is just a weird decision to me.
