Anyone still playing? I stopped after addicting playing on Betrayal. It was so good for me, and then i think got burn out by overplaying the game. Now seeing less ppl playing the game, should i start again or just wait for the new POE 2? Any thought?
Just depends on what you actually want to do with the game. Undoubtedly contents will continuously added - thus the complexity of the game keep pilling up. If you want to keep track of all the updates, then just play a little at every league. I do this, not necessary to beat all the contents, but just to learn what's the content is about, what has changed, etc.
If you are fine to take a long break, and learn about those many updates in one go, that's up to you as well.
2.0 will be a looooong way to go still. 3.9 -> 3.10 -> 3.11 -> 3.12 ... and if things didn't go as planned... 3.13... 3.14... until 2.0 is ready to release. SO there will be tons of change to the game before 2.0 even land. For example in next league, the atlas will be completely modified.
Knowing what changes is good, allow you to pickup the pace faster the next time coming back to play again.

I don't really care about what those streamers do. Because those aren't good representative of the general "NORMAL" gamers. Just let the top 1% zoom zoom speed meta, do what they want and enjoy about it. I personally hate to play at that kind of pace. In fact when I playing my last Ranger character, I purposefully find a boot with no movespeed... >140% movespeed is just FEELS LIKE GLIDING ON ICE. Take it slow, not everyone needs to play at those crazy zoom zoom speed. This isn't a competitive game.
The trading currently is fine, I don't see why we need to change it. Auction house or automated trading will only makes the game even more speed meta. Maybe just implement a browser in-game, click whisper and directly input to chat. QOL like those are fine.

I hate "auction house" totally. Very little game do trading correctly, most of them are annoying as hell, terrible UI, bad navigation, shit tax, etc.
Black Desert Online : they revamped their auction house to be MUCH better, but still the stupid system determined price range and high tax ruined it all. Want to sell a rock for 1,000,000,000? You can't do that. I understand why they want to do it that way - they fear the economy go out to hell when placed into players' hand - hyper inflation overtime etc. But at the same time, taking away players' control makes the trading incredibly SHIT. // Also no player-to-player barter for all items, limited to potion & consumable only.
Eve Online : incredible auction system. This should be the role model for other MMO. Player decide the price, tax, long posting duration up to several weeks ~ months, easy bulk trading, integrate well with the crafting system to easily acquire material back and forth, option to buy out directly instead of bidding, can be accessed anywhere you go...
Atlantica Online : not auction house, but a "Market" system - same good trading system like Eve Online. Except there is no duration and bidding because it is not an "auction" house, but an open market. Additional plus point of the market system in AO is it's automated price reduction overtime feature. Your item price will automatically be reduced everyday, this is a great feature to counteract people who undercut you, ensuring your items have good chance of selling overtime, even if you didn't login for long time.
Guild Wars 2 : haven't played this for a long time but I remember their auction system is also as good as Eve. Except the LAGGGGGGGG because the in-game system is almost like a webpage. Dunno if they improved it now or not.
All other MMO / Online games : terrible interface, short item posting duration, high tax, no option to bulk purchase, limited registration spot often gated behind pay wall, had to stand infront of fixed NPC to access it, terrible item categorization, no search function, didn't link to the crafting system making buying material a chore, etc etc
//---
POE's trading mechanism, while is slow - but is very well suited for this game, because the VAST amount of item mods, where every items have different mods & value range. This demand for very extensive search function, not something you would normally be able to cramp into an in-game auction house, at least not the UI design like other games.
As mentioned before, put a browser in-game to access pathofexile.com/trade, hit whisper and auto input to chatbox, done. Maybe also auto compare the item you wish to buy and item you equipped. That's all I really need.
literally i do not what is auction house, just know a lot ppl hype about it i want a system that while i browsing the trading page, i can do 'deposit' my currency at the web as 'action' buy the item. then i no need pm every player to meet them. but this thing came with price, where the richer will get even more richer, cause they pros reach elder, sold good drop item for currencies and buy all cards, and items instantly. not even a chance left for new players

GGG has been mentioning many times the whole point of current trading system is to - slow down the game. If automated trading (auction house) is implemented, no doubt the rich will get even richer - people can just "farm" the auction house all day sniping off items quickly. This is a real problem for many other online games actually... Trying to buy some rare items? Good luck.
Remember POE's current trading system have one important factor - you can't buy the item if the player is OFFLINE. This is very important to slow down the game, giving everyone chances.
If any-sort of automation that is "acceptable", probably a "trading NPC" in hideout. For example: "hei Zanoob, here's my shit I want to sell, SMS me when someone want to buy something, I'll tell you to proceed or not". No need to quit what you doing and just hit a button to confirm the trade. No portalling out means no issue with lab, delve, zana 1 portal mission, die too much last portal remain, etc etc.
I got too much time on my hand Just look at the shit storm I stir up at Reddit hahaha

Any thought?
Burned out after trying for lvl 100. Stopped at 95. Probably my biggest mistake in the game, trying for lvl 100. Right now, no motivation to resume. Waiting for dwarf fortress come out to steam.
y'know, at that level range, what you should do when died once...
- ALT+F4 - go take a smoke / drink coffee - go town spin 1 hour - take a shower / nap
Then start game and do something else. Don't repeat the same dangerous content. It is NEVER worth it.
after death only think about why not ALT F4
today start w/80% and dying 6-8 times, then climb from 60% straight to 100%, screw ggg if assume no death, i think already level 100. dangerous content is very subjective, mostly dying because 1 shot by creep in some i dun think as dangerous content . CWDT+IC also cant helped , look bad as chirs will nerf hard death penalty future league
Level 95 my highest car in POE so far

IC was nerfed lah, not many people still use it. Nowadays is CWDT (high level) + SteelSkin. I also use phase run & frost wall on that link as well.
The game contents are getting more and more deadly -- play defensively, stack more defensive layers, use shield, etc. Sure, everyone want gazillion of DPS but "you can't deal damage if you dead"
With enough defensive layers, those small-flies are far less of a problem, only big hit from uniques bosses will likely to kill you. I personally been playing defensively since Syndicate... those mini bosses are no joke. Glass cannon build got killed a million times over is to be expected...

oh it's the Michael wing from another online game...
anyway... technically it is always worth better to buy supporter pack. The armor and wing - if sales separately will surely costs way more than $55 alone, armor probably at least $45 and wing in the $20 range. so yes, supporter pack is a much better deal.

also bought this hahahaha
this is my 1st ever supporter pack and i think its quite worth it
this is my 1st ever supporter pack and i think its quite worth it
looks like skywrath mage in dota 2
my 1st ever supporter pack in POE after so many leagues played
feels worth it as i got:
- armour look - 550 pts (can use for new stash and others - delve and unique tab not yet own ) - POE extended digital soundtrack (flac format ) considering paid to hear original copyright content fair enough (lovely Legion ost and grand arena ost)
one complaint - the grand hood only suit for melee char, if wear on oother char seem little big to them
