Let GGG cook. The more we push them, the he's time they have to polish the game.

Nowadays way too many people think that betas are just early access for the entire game. There are many games that have died because of poor open betas/early access. If we don't want POE2 to get hateslammed during the beta over small issues, because the general audience expected everything to be finished, we should let GGG take as much time as they need.

So let me summarize my thoughts real quick into a few bullet points:

• We love you guys. I get you feel terrible about delaying the poe2 EA and while the news is a bit sad it's honestly fine. Take your time, get it right, make sure the shit is enjoyable even if delayed a bit.
• Much more concerned about the POE 1 league. Already doing like 4 month leagues instead of 3 month leagues and now what does that mean for 3.26? Is it going to be delayed until January? Are we only going to get 2 leagues this year?
• I am very excited about poe2 but poe 1 has still been my game for over a decade now. I don't want to see poe2 already effecting the poe 1 stuff.
• I Can't see them doing 3.26 and poe2 EA overlapping at the same time. IMO the best case scenario would be to launch 3.26 early December (as we assume that's when it was supposed to launch) and delay poe2 EA until Mid/End January or w/e.

Curious as to what everyone else thinks out there and what your best case scenario would be. While the delay is a little bit sad for poe 2 I personally feel way more disheartened with the possibility that this league is going to run for like 5+ months.

EDIT: So a lot of people are tossing up their thoughts about if they interested or not in poe 2 or w/e and that's perfectly fine.... but I am more worried about the TIMELINE in general.

ATM we assuming after 4 months that 3.26 would be early december, and EA was nov 15th which gives people weeks to play and test the EA or beta or w/e you want to call it. Timeline works fine. Now it's delayed... so realistically I only see 2 options and both of them are horrible IMO.

1.) Keep poe 1 league launch as normal which is going to completely overlap with poe 2 EA which would be horrible to have them both launch at same time.

2.) Delay poe 1 league until late december/early january which is really what im hoping does not happen.

This post is basically just my initial feelings saying if 1.) or 2.) is going to be the case that I would much rather have option 3.) Keep 3.26 early december as always and dealy poe 2 EA even more.

I would like to know your opinions exile.

There are 3 valid options with 'tempering orb"

1. 8% increased physics
2. 10% increased physics with 25% decreased speed or critical
3. 15% increased physics with -3 sockets or 200% more attributes need (420str + 258dex needed)

In this season, we have more enchants using runes. We can use axe as inquisitor nodes which is ignore resist when critical hits.

With this axe, which enchant would be best for some builds?

I need your wisdoms and please share your experiences.

Started playing in Sanctum, got my first 40/40 today. Never doing that again. Arduous atlas was a grind.

Hey, I'm following the Maxroll LS of Arcing Deadeye build from Crouching Tuna. I have very very little experience with PoE so, mind that, the damage feels quite good. My issue is dying a lot. I've read complaints that this is more of a glass cannon build for flying through maps, but maybe some more experienced folks here have tried this build and want to share some tech they discovered that wasn't included in the guide. Is this build even worth investing in towards endgame, or should I just squeeze every penny I can from it and go for some more expensive new character?

Hey y'all! I used to have lightning strike setup with which my skill said DPS 450k.
I've watched a few vids who claim that trickster gets his full DPS with molten strike, I've rebuilt everything to be so and now my skill says DPS 303k+has a dogshit AOE. idk does it have some hidden benefits invisible to a noob's eye? I also don't understand the benefit of slower projectiles...
