I’ve been on the Path of Exile 2 grind a bit. I want to see if I can progress my character a bit more, currently I have him at level 89, all my ascendancy points earned, and steadily doing t14/t15 maps. I tried to kill the highest tier of the Ritual boss and failed, which is frustrating because I failed that fight 3 times on my last character, too. The game’s progression feels very strange because you’ll be getting upgrades for your gear at a decent pace until you reach t10+ maps, then getting upgrades gets dramatically harder and getting money becomes a chicken and egg situation (gotta run hard content to get money and upgrade gear, but can’t really run it until you have better gear).
Otherwise, I’m planning to play Dyson Sphere Program and see if I can get to the late-late game there. You can beat the game by producing a couple thousand white science, but you can also keep going and treat it as a sandbox. When they added combat with the Darkfog update they also added some higher tiers of each production building that are significantly faster, but require materials from high level Darkfog units. This means that if you want to build the most efficient factories, you gotta set up a system to spawn and kill large amounts of enemies and level them up. This is a pretty fun challenge because, unlike most things in the game, there are lasting consequences if you fail to supply enough materials (i.e. ammo, energy, and drones if you’re using them) to the killing fields.
As someone who generally doesn’t like giant ffx skill trees but loves arpgs would you recommend POE2 to me? Like is it learnable with minimal research?
If you want to try it once it comes out (it’s currently $30 USD but will be free on release) you can probably make it work if you go in blind, but I would recommend against it because it’s an extremely uphill battle and the game is super punishing to new players who make suboptimal character customization decisions. I think doing like 1 hour of research of trying to find a build guide for beginners, then checking that guide as you play is generally a much better idea. Some people have played the game completely blind and enjoyed it, though, so your mileage may vary.

Quit scraeming “cap your fire and cold resistances and anoint something” at my house cowards. I will never fix my build.

No.
Fair enough have a nice day
