Path Of Exile 2 Quick Gold

Path of Exile 2 Early Access has been very well received since its release, not only because it is the first sequel to POE series that has been popular with MMO players for decades, but more importantly, POE 2 itself provides players with a great co-op experience, even in Early Access stage.

However, GGG must not stop here if it wants to maintain the original enthusiasm of the large number of players after the full version of POE 2 is released, because there are indeed some design choices that are not ideal.

With this in mind, let’s talk about the co-op mode issues in Path of Exile 2 that need some serious adjustments, and improving them may really help POE 2 take the top spot in multiplayer co-op games!

1. Teleporting

First, let’s start with something that many players have been complaining about, and that is Teleporting.

Teleporting has always been a very important core mechanic of group games, but in POE 2, it is unnecessarily complicated.

If you’re on the same map as your teammates, you can’t even teleport to them! You either have to walk, which can take a long time on enormous maps, or walk back and forth through town portals. That’s right, either you teleport to the town, then teleport to their checkpoint, and your teammates have to open their portals so you can jump back to them. It’s tedious and a waste of time.

The solution seems simple, though: by using an existing button in UI, let us teleport directly to our teammates, no matter where they are. GGG could perhaps add a short cast time to balance things out. That would save a lot of trouble.

2. Map Display

Another headache is the map display, which is complex and unclear map information that can easily make players completely lost.

Not only that, there is no way to sync map discovery between teams, which means that if your team explores separately, the areas they discover will not be synced with everyone else’s map, which will just keep wasting your time backtracking. Imagine how frustrating it would be when you spent an hour exploring a map that your teammates have already swept and never found an Exalted Orb!

In fact, we don’t need military-level planning to scout the map in cooperation, just a simple shared map. This will greatly improve the exploration process, reduce backtracking, and keep everyone on the same page.

3. Resurrection Speed

It is well known that it takes a long time to revive teammates in POE 2, especially when the enemy keeps interrupting you. Everything will easily return to the starting point.

Some players may want to say that as long as the character’s survivability is improved, it will not be easily killed? But seriously, building evasion or relying on crowd control skills such as stun, shock, or freeze will indeed help, but even so, it is a hit and miss. Not to mention, a high-survivability character often requires an enormous investment of POE Currency, which is difficult for early players to do.

In contrast, shorter casting time or immunity to interruption will often help us a lot. In addition, outside of combat, why not completely eliminate the casting time? This is completely unnecessary downtime. Although they have made some minor changes to the casting time in patch 0.1.1, the penalty system still feels a bit over the top.

Other than that, respawn options in POE 2 are minimal. If you die in co-op, you can basically just wait for someone to revive you, or wait for everyone to wipe out and then respawn together. This is totally unnecessary.

Imagine dying on the other side of the map and then you just sit there doing nothing, waiting for your buddies to come and rescue you, which is absolutely frustrating in the middle of story progression.

I think GGG could have just let players respawn in towns for non-endgame content. That way, you can rejoin the action right away instead of dragging everyone down. If you want to have a better chance of winning battles after respawning and upgrade your gear with more orbs, why not join the giveaways that are often offered in IGGM Discord? You have nothing to lose, anyway!

4. Flask Charges

Next, let’s talk about Flasks. Flasks only recharge when you land a critical hit, which doesn’t make sense in co-op, especially if your teammates use Culling mechanic or deal a lot more damage than you do. Of course, you can improve this by finding potions with charge modifiers, but the effect is poor.

So what’s a better solution? In short, count the kills of the entire squad. If someone kills, everyone’s Flask should be charged. Only such a simple and fair application method can keep the action going.

5. Skill Effect Display

Now turn to this headache skill effect problem in POE 2. If you have ever played with a spellcaster, you will know how difficult it is. Their spells, special effects and minions fill the entire screen, and you can’t even see your character. What’s worse, this also includes the skills of the boss you should avoid. Fire spells are the worst, especially between the firewall and the explosion, everything is a mess.

Therefore, players urgently call for a simple slider to adjust the transparency of teammates' spells and minions to solve this problem.

6. Endgame

Finally, let’s talk about the endgame survival problem. Because in the endgame map, if you die, you’re done, just like the hardcore mode in Diablo 4. When you die in co-op, you either wait in town or lie on the ground until your partner completes the map, which is terrible for co-op. Not only is it harder if one of you dies, the others have to do the rest of the mission alone without you, but you don’t get any loot.

Why not use the existing portal system to improve this? There are already six portals per map, so why not let players use them to respawn? Of course, the penalty mechanism still has to be retained, but it allows everyone to participate. This will make map making feel more collaborative, less punitive for co-op players, and more fun for those who are looking for a higher difficulty challenge!

Outro

Well, these are the 6 points that we have summarized that are in desperate need of improvement in POE 2’s multiplayer co-op mode. These changes will make co-op more fun.

Although this is already a great game, some adjustments like this will further improve the co-op experience. So, what do you think? Do you think there are still areas that need to be adjusted? See you next time!

Whether it’s Path of Exile 2 or Diablo 4, what are the most important resources for players? The vast majority of builds need health and mana. Health represents your tolerance for mistakes in the game. The more health you have, the less likely you are to die in the game because of a single mistake. And the more mana you have, the more skills you can unleash.

Players have many ways to restore health in Path of Exile 2, such as passive, life drain, etc., and the methods of restoring mana are similar. However, these methods only extend your endurance. If you are really in danger, these methods are not enough.

The best and most direct way to restore life and mana in Path of Exile 2 is to use Life Flask and Mana Flask to restore you directly. There are more than one Life Flask and Mana Flask in Path of Exile 2, and they have different effects. So what are the best Life Flask and Mana Flask in Path of Exile 2? They are Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask and Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask.

Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask

Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask is a valuable consumable. This Life Flask will give the player a large amount of instant life recovery, which can often save the player from danger.

When you click on Life Flask, you will be restored immediately, while other Life Flasks in Path of Exile 2 are mostly restored slowly over a certain period. Instant Recovery is far more popular than slow recovery in Path of Exile 2.

Normal Ultimate Life Flasks can only restore 30% of the player’s life at a time, while Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask can restore 100% of the player’s life at a time, which is why Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask is the best Life Flask.

Here are its specific effects:

• Restores 920 Life Points in 3 seconds
• Uses 10 of 75 charges when used
• Has 75 charges
• Instant Recovery
• Increases charge by 100–150% each time used
• Excess Life Recovery lasts 10 seconds as a Guard

How To Get Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask?

Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask only appears as a drop from Olroth, Origin of the Fall, Expeditions pinnacle boss. Players can only find Olroth during Level 79+ Expedition Logbook runs, and Olroth still appears with probability. Fortunately, its probability of appearing is quite high, and players have at least a more than 50% chance of encountering this boss.

To find Olroth, Logbook is essential. You can participate in Expeditions activities, defeat the enemies that jump out after the explosion, and then get Logbooks from the treasure chest.

Expeditions activities not only give you Logbooks but also a lot of POE 2 Currency, making them one of the most interesting endgame activities.

Once you have enough Logbooks, you need to talk to Dannig in Hideout to open the map to Olroth.

Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask

Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask has a lot of description. As powerful as it is, you also have to take some risks when using it.

Here’s what it does:

• Restores 310 Life Points over 3 seconds.
• Consumes 10 of 75 charges when used.
• There are 75 charges.
• The effect does not disappear immediately after the mana bar is full.
• Duration increased by (200–250) %.
• Deals chaos damage equal to 50% of the mana consumed per second to nearby enemies in 3 seconds while in use.
• Instantly restores all mana.
• When the effect ends, takes chaos damage is equal to one quarter of the remaining mana.

It can be seen that Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask is not just a Flask that can only restore mana. It can also cause certain damage to monsters. This item can increase the output of the spellcaster.

How To Get Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask?

Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask is a drop from Kosis, the Revelation of Delirium event. Players need to use 300 Simulacrum Splinters to synthesize a Simulacrum.

Simulacrum Splinter is relatively rare in the game. Players can exchange a Simulacrum with other players through Currency Exchange using your POE 2 Exalted Orb, or you can instill your Waystones with Delirium fog, which requires the use of instilling mechanic. After success, you can find 10-50 Simulacrum Splinters on each map.

The specific number of Simulacrum Splinters obtained will be determined by the number of monsters on the map, so you need to choose a map with more monsters as much as possible.

If you want to trade a Simulacrum with another player but don’t have enough Currency, you can enter IGGM discord, where there are often giveaways that can help you get Simulacrum.

That’s about Melting Maelstrom Mana Flask and Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask. Not only are these two items consumable, but they are not necessarily dropped by the boss. You may find a lot of Currency from the boss, but not the flask, which is normal. However, you can definitely get one of the boss’s unique drops, so don’t be discouraged.
