New ARPG coming out of early access that's sort of a mid-ground between Diablo 4 and Path of Exile. Dev team seems great, they've come a loooong way in terms of tech and polish.
They've got a trade vs. self found system that seems intriguing
I'll be checking it out again. Played a few months ago and it was still very glitchy - so much so that I just gave up on it. Combat feels good and skill trees are great though.
Did I understand that correctly that you can either join the merchants and trade n stuff or you go with the others, lose the ability to trade on the bazar (or in general? with friends?) but have a higher magic find? That is a very cool approach!

This video from the devs explained it pretty well, and it isnt too long:
So if i understood it right, you can switch between the two, and not lose progress on either side, but you can't trade items that you found while going for the MF route, even if you switch. It does sound like a pretty neat system, will see how it works out.
even if you are on the Circle of Fortune self found path, you can gift item to your friend if you play with them. If you are playing with them when an item drops you can gift it, or if you play for a while with someone you get something called a "resonance" that lets you make an item giftable
I haven't actually tried that system tho, hope it works xD
Already got 220 hours from earlier patches. Personally, I've never been satisfied with the online servers, even lately the loading times were horrible and tomorrow I'm expecting them to be a disaster. I was set on playing SSF (account found) online, but I changed my mind and will play SSF offline. In the end that for now is just the superior choice if you don't care about ladder and want to play solo account found.
I remember the last patch where I didn't even get to the first town for 2 hours or so cause the servers were so overloaded.

Understandable. Tbh, i played a bit in the past few weeks and some stuff was slightly worrying... you know the 1-2 seconds you sometimes have in poe before the load screen hits and you still have to move/dodge stuff? I've seen the same effect multiplied by a ton where my town portal disappeared after i clicked it, and then it took an additional 5-6 seconds until i left the zone. AT times, it took so long that i thought it just wouldnt work at all.
Yesterday regular online gaming was fine, but i also had instances of desync or character lag that i havent seen in POE for several years. Add all the hype, and I`m approaching my expectations for the launch with great caution ...
Excited to try this. I think it's great there is an offline mode if servers are overwhelmed at launch. Would like to see more games prioritize this! Blizzard has had terrible launches for example haha

You can't port offline character to online tough, so most people don't care at all about offline
Hm. I guess i wont play anything at all the next few days or week at least. Kinda faceplanted while running, but instead of stopping the fall with just my face, i stopped it with my left wrist, right elbow, ... and my face (but not that bad. )
Which is kinda good, because stopping it all with my face probably wouldnt have made it prettier.
But i cant really move my left wrist now and barely have the grip strength to hold a wet noodle without pain. At least theres nothing broken. Hope launch is decent and you guys are having fun

Hell no, I have to restart on online mode and so I gotta hope it works better now. Yesterday I played 5 hours and reached Act 9 in offline, but it felt so cheaty because the offline bug that you cannot die still exists (you have to logout to fix it).
So guys, hey, I am a POE bow build enjoyer, any recommendations? Been busy losing weight and .........working on projects... hopefully the wise TL gosu can help a noob out here.
Launch was super rough, but I've had a few hours of uninterrupted gameplay. should be OK now, hope they have it fixed for the weekend.

bow puncture bleed feels good starting out, now im using explosive trap + detonating arrow combo and its shredding. Bleed is kinda similar to PoE bleed (ailment DoT), but any damage type can bleed as long as you have bleed chance, so explosive / detonating still cause bleeds even tho they are fire/lightning
This ziggyD guide for filters hoped me out because I'm a noob + Show Spoiler +

Sorry to hear mate. A friend of mine got seriously injured from a faceplant, has to get surgery because of broken clavicle. Hope you feel better and dont need hospital x)
