PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

No textures on Xbox series X ?

Anyone ever run into an issue where textures of everything aren't loaded at all? Seems like on 6hrs sessions it will just come up after that time if certain amount of times of loading up textures been applied. Same goes for the scenario where I could just sit in town and just open up and close character screen causing all textures to be reloaded and after certain (quite high) amount of times I will end up eventually with no textures loaded at all forcing me to either force loading screen or going back to character selection menu. Xbox does not overheat on this game and I rarely get any drops below 60fps with my java light build.

I had one of those nightmares again where you're running from something that's chasing you but you're extremely slow

Except this time I could read the text: **-30%** (0:20) Temporal Chains: Curse **Slows** you and makes other effects on you expire more slowly. >!*Please nerf*!<

Rouge gear

Does anyone have any gear that they are not using for rouge? I’ve been struggling on crafting anything decent. I’m still in the campaign, been struggling massively on anything defensive. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks

A short and sweet analysis of Steam Charts for POE1 and POE2

I will shoot straight for your convenience. 178k peak league start for Path of Exile Secrets of the Atlas compared to 245k for Path of Exile 2 The Hunt. however consider POE2 is much more popular in console than POE1 ever was. So its likely it has actually double the players DURING league start, by which I mean first two weeks. That With that said, it seems that player retention is much more solid for POE1 and it is in a godawful state for POE2, where player retention drops to barely 30% of the peak population past just a month into the league and only 10% of peak population 2 months in. Whereas POE1 doubles it, with well into 60% player retention past a month, and mostly 20% after 2 months in. I agree, Endgame for POE2 feels awful. As soon as I start needing divines for upgrades, my interest in the game is floored. I still believe being extremely open to using orbs as crafting is the way to go, ergo make chaos orbs just as common as exalted orbs currently are.

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
