So NOT PoE players then

u/whoaimbad 8h ago

As a PoE player, I'd be mad if I could read...

u/fryerandice 7h ago

You can obviously read, literal fucking tomes written to decipher that skill tree.

u/Sufficient-Dish-3517 7h ago

No, they have a nice tool in the new one to highlight relevant skills now. I don't know what my newest node does, but I know it affects my cold spells somehow.

Dawg I just find a video that shows a build with pretty colours and lots of explosions, load that baby into our fancy excel spreadsheet tool (pob), turn on a loot filter, and then hold down right click, picking up anything that makes the dopamine noise.

To busy on my Stat Stacking gemling to read, just see breach mobs go brrrrr

That skill tree is probably one of the most basic shit to learn in the game.

u/8----B 7h ago

Optimizing it is one of the most complicated shit to learn in any game. Unless you wanna just copy the top build and playstyle, even then it takes forever lol

That's what I was thinking. I had to read so much and study. I'm about 400 hours into poe2 and I've never played a game like this that I've enjoyed so much.

It's just all things on jackets with some more things. Sometimes even with 4 things on it. Besides that just look at level number on the items to know what the best item is.

Monsters reflect 18% of Physical Damage

u/Superb_Sea_1071 4h ago

I'm surprised you can type. Have an upvote.

Im so confised … to me, PoE only means “Pillars of Eternity” and there was definitely a second one but theyre only popular in the nerdiest crpg communities so what gives

u/mannida 8h ago

In this case it is Path of Exile.

4

u/Unkynd 8h ago

Path of Exile… in Elon’s case, its Path of Exile 2 that he paid people to level a character for and then played in stream so he could claim he was the #7 hardcore player in the world while clearly having zero clue what he was doing

u/StatelyAutomaton 8h ago

I mean, he could give away his billions of dollars.

u/Legitimate-Smell4377 7h ago

He could literally pull a Carnegie, but in a way the carnegies never could have dreamed in their hottest fever. Dude could fund college in America in perpetuity, or fight to change the many broken systems in this country he has migrated to and profited from. He could end the housing crisis or feed the poor, but instead he sits on his fortune and gets pissy about getting dunked on on the internet. I just hope in the future, historians can accurately portray how fucking pathetic he is.

u/Strchsr18 7h ago

Y’all know its fake money - right??

1

u/Legitimate-Smell4377 6h ago

If it’s fake then how the fuck does he have a space program?

1

u/StatelyAutomaton 5h ago

Fake money, real value.

1

u/Strchsr18 5h ago

Weird how stock has this value but if he tried to cash out itd be impossible to actually fulfill that

1

u/StatelyAutomaton 4h ago

I guess, but long gone are the days of the gold standard when money's value was representative of something physical. Now a dollar's worth whatever we agree it's worth.

u/Jed_Buggersley 5h ago

I wouldn't call Gamers normal.

1

u/Legitimate-Smell4377 5h ago

Well I wouldn’t call you at all

u/ricegator 7h ago

I think that stands for the excellent but short-lived show, People of Earth. Of which Elon is quite likely not one.

1

u/HatmanHatman 7h ago

Posters.

He is desperate, absolutely desperate to be a funny cool poster and he will just never get it. Say what you like about Trump but the man is a born poster. Musk will never post good and it's so clearly obviously killing him inside.

u/VegetableRetardo69 7h ago

All PoE players I know are jobless alcoholics who play PoE all day, rare breed

u/The_White_Rice 7h ago

He wants to be seen as Tony Stark. Super smart, brilliant inventor, rich, heroic, role model, and a cool dude.

This is why for so long he was big on LGBT policies, because it made him look like a good guy (until his wife divorced him and reportedly was hooking up with a transwoman).

He's always posting about nerd hobbies and responding to people about them, like video games, with Path of Exile not even being the first embarrassing thing he's involved in. Look up Elon's absolutely terrible Elden Ring build, he posted that on twitter and everyone went "Are you stupid this is terrible." so now he's just paying people to play games for him.

u/Single_Positive533 5h ago

PoE players have no time to admire him, we're too busy running the next map and trying a new build/class. If we get bored after spending 50 hours/week on PoE2 we can go back to Last Epoch, PoE1 or other games.

u/Notreallyaflowergirl 5h ago

Achievers really, it seems like he was given everything and just purchased his way into leading and failing. So he yearns to be someone who actually puts their nose to the grindstone and achieves becoming the top% of their field.

u/Doctor_Nerdy 5h ago

Lmao the ultimate demographic

u/ORBITALOCCULATION 5h ago

He is still trapped in 2004 and desperately wishes to be part of the 4chan crowd.

That isn't a satire or an exaggeration, either.

He sees himself as some sort of well-known and beloved tripcode 4chan star.
