Boeroer

I get frustrated by managing coins in my purse, so yes.

Now I know: "running the gauntlet":

It would be supercool if the "higher than PoTD" difficulty wouldn't mean better stats, but would mean that enemies are "meaner" and smarter. So basically that they use tactics that are really difficult to counter - like kiting for example. I would love if a monk suddenly casts The Long Pain and starts to fire at my party and retreating with +5 move speed from Boots of Speed + THe Long Stride. Or if a fighter would instantly charge to my priest and knock him down. Things like that. I know this is hard to achieve. How would I call such an option? Path of the Pwned? March of the Masochists? Hehe - no idea!

Nooo! Seriously - not that fuzz with all those projectiles messing up the inventory. And even if it would be solved with charges or whatever: if you want to fire in combat you realize that you didn't buy arrows (which you would never forget if you really had a bow and a quiver in your own hands). I hate that! And then you have to decide which arrow to use - the +1? the fire arrow? And would this also mean that you have to buy blunderbuss pellets and pistol rounds? Please no!

I think the easiest way is that one trustworthy guy or gal (=captain) collects the money/keeps the records and then buys the ship. Then stays in contact with the participants in order to coordinate the realization (=talks to participants and to OBS). This could involve some work and a lot of communication. I don't know how many pirates usually are on one ship, but 8$ seems to be too low. Too many pirates and too much fuzz for the captain. 625 pirates... must be a big, big galleon with two or three rowing decks. Or maybe one could buy special positions. You know: captain costs x$, first mate y$... guy in the crow's nest costs z$... going down to rowing slaves which cost 10$ each. Maybe this way you could lower the overall number of pirates and still reach 5000$. But how do you prove your trustworthyness? Hm...

I would strongly suggest that OBS reworks the sorting algos for the stash. If you leave it unsorted it's ok, but if you have a lot of items and sort it and then flip pages the sorting algo is applied over and over again. Flipping pages takes forever on a slower computer. If the player sorts the stash, then we can assume he want's to leave it that way for quite a while. Then why not save the stash in the new order? Can't be so hard. Applying a sorting algo on every page flip is not a good solution. Sorting a lot of items takes a lot of time while saving the new order in memory doesn't.

If you have official companions they will shout something like "Oh no, Aloth's down!" or similar stuff. But you are right - it could be more obvious. Several times, when I startet with PoE, I won an encounter and smiled... before I realized that somebody was missing who got maimed, rose again because of second chance, then got killed and silently disappeared.

Please no cooldowns. And don't import any other combat stuff from Tyranny into PoE2. I liked Tyranny, but I only played it once and then stopped the second playtrough because it got boring and felt like a action RPG. PoE, however, I played a lot of times- until today. With six (or five) people in the party it's OK to have one or two who don't need micromanagement and do fine with autoattacks. I wouldn't oppose more active abilities on fighters for example, but cooldowns force you to always watch and micro your timing and in general I think it's a horrible way to limit ability use. X/encounter or x/rest is the way to go for PoE2 - just my opinion.

Ha! My whips made it into your list! I'm flattered.

Buccaneers of the Deadfire ARRchipelago? Count me in!

Cool. Oh - now I see that you're from Costa Rica. I once spend a 6 week vacation there, it was beautiful. Very nice people, too. Costa Rica was the no. 1 (out of 9) on our "wishlist" for our next posting in summer. Now we got Romania (which was no. 2) - also great.

Hooray for throwing weapons - including grenades!

Really? I did something similar once and was able to put an additional burning lash onto it. But that was some time ago.

Doesn't work. She will not deliver any essence because she's a vessel, too. There could have been an option to feed him one of your party members (see Blood Pool/Effigy's Resentment). Devil of Caroc shouldn't work either.

Huh? Edér wielded a disciple of Ondra? What did he do? Bloody crush damage? There is no Swiftness Aura. Do you mean Vielo Vidòrio (short haste in an AoE when using FoD)? I might indeed outfit and spec them like on the picture for my first run of PoE2. Then I will most likely cancel that run after a few hours and play something completely different.

You could have led the little girl from the crypt to the top of the tower. And look at it like that: either you are cruel or you are not. Why free the slaves at all, why save the girl if you are such an evil badass?

Eh? What does that have to do with in game descriptions, tooltips, combat log and the like?

Priest of Berath + Tidefall + maxed out MIG + Minor Avatar + Aggrandizing Radiance + Triumph of the Crusaders = solo PoTD awesomeness

Priest is an offensive powerhouse. I totally agree. Shining Beacon + nealry 50 MIG wrecks everything (which is not immune to fire). But only later in the game. Maybe that's another reason why few people realize their offensive potential. What is "undead" by the way? We should define the term. Undead = Vessels? Or vessels + spirits? Some spirits could be (banshees, spectres, phantoms, shadows, shades and the like) while others are not (blights for example). Priest is the best vessel hunter (if we leave a barb with St. Ydwen's Redeemer aside) while paladin is the best spirit hunter. That's why I suggested Priest/Paladin as overall undead hunter. I mean if undead means that it died and came back.

You mean spirits I presume. Paladins can do nothing special when it comes to fighting vessels. Priests have their Holy Radiance. So the perfect undead hunter might be a paladin/priest.

Huh? PoE is the game with the biggest variety in (caster) builds (that work equally well) that I know of. In which other cPRG can you build great wizard or druid tanks, or awesome DPS priests? Just to name a few examples... More spells are always welcome - but your topic title is just wrong.

You could do that in PoE with every class. Take the Bartender's Ring, pick Sanctifier and stuff and enchant your weapons or use the Redeemer. Sure, a vessel/spirit hunter subclass for paladins or priests would be welcome, why not. Could even be an order of Eothas - the Redeemer (St. Ydwen = Avatar of Eothas) is also tied to him. Please leave the lore as it is.

Only for a brief moment I hope. Just imagine the game flops. Intimidating KfW debt collector bullies at your door.

Cool - finally some cloaks for the fashion fascist (=me).

Barbs are my no. 1 class in PoE. Don't mess them up. But I guess that a system that is a bit like monk's would make barbs even more interesting.
