or you get that dreadful question on discord when playing poe with a newcomer, "so how does the crafting work in this game?" :rofl:


oh rip :lol:

they do a lot of good for their games no denying that but overcomplicating it hurts the game in the long run. there just has to be a better way to keep making the game fun (skip Campaign would go so far) but also let new players into your game easier. It is insane as a new player coming into PoE it feels like walking through a door and being thrown up on by 20 people.


there's a bit of an equilibrium as well because the "arpg no-lifers" players really do like that complexity, but there's also a point where it's just too much. GGG's gotta find that middle ground somewhere, i imagine that's what chris is gonna focus hard on, for poe 2.

do you know if they are going to put a price on PoE2? i really hope so because PoE is not a free to play game and i'd rather buy the game and have cosmetics be buyable then have to pay for organize stuff that really pisses me off.

haha i just tell them about the transmute, augmentation, alchemy, and chaos orbs. i stay away from the crafting bench stuff. most newcomers i've seen don't even get to end-game to use it anyways, LOL

hmm i honestly haven't heard anything. i think it'll be released as f2p. they make a lot on those mtxs as you know lol, there's prob an argument where they make more having it f2p with all the people spending a boat load in their mtx shop over the years vs just buying it and receiving all that stuff and quitting (i could be wrong however). plus, if they do it B2P and then release any kind of stash stuff in the shop too, the poe community would have a field day with GGG

no doubt they make more by making the game awful to play without buying upgrades to your organizers but that is also pretty shitty and predatory. I think they should just put a price on it and then charge for cosmetics don't be shitty and put organizers behind paywalls.

i used to play using procurement and forum posting with bbcode item linking to sell items.. lol

well, i guess everyone kind of did back then until they released the public stash tabs. but even then, i didn't buy one until only a few years ago :P
