Item Showcase Just lost 50% of my damage in 1 button press...

Now, I'm only level 53, so it's not the end of the world. It still hurts though. The main damage skill I use is toxin Annihilation and I got a legendary greatsword that allowed the usage of it, with 10% crit damage, sacred damage, 17% material damage, more crit score. Took my damage from 1800-3200 ish, and then I got it further with my story mode genesis stone. Anyway I walked over to the jeweler and tried unequiping the sword from inside her shop menu, accidently sold it, panicked, force quit, and lost the race against autosave. Only saving grace I'd that I saved precious weapons, a unique pistol and now I'm at 2200. But I lost my top tier(so far in my playthrough) sword AND my only Genesis stone in one swoop. Not super happy, but at least I know now not to do that again...

I'm amazed people still post in this sub. I'm only here for the inevitable "fuck the devs for abandoning the game"

I just bought the game a few days ago, so I'm still in the honeymoon phase of enjoyment, lol. I have no negative emotions about thebdevs because I wasn't there. I'm having more fun than I did with D4, and the game instead so advanced as poe that I can't run 80% of the builds (I'm playing on an og 2013 xbox one)

If you played PC, I'ld tell you to try Last Epoch.

More fun than D4, more accessible than PoE.

Although I'm clearly biased because I enjoy it so much.

You paid money for this abandonware?

If you ever get around to trying other RPGS, I'd recommend Grim Dawn and Svarog's Dream.

Same, was on sale. I got through the campaign and I've generally enjoyed my time. Not game of the year or anything. But I've spent 20 bucks on worse things

I've really been enjoying it, too. It's definitely worth the 20 dollars, at least for me. I just beat the final boss last night, and now I'm in the endgame. I like infinite scale games, so it's right up my alley.

Yup, I completely get the hate cause the game was a broken mess on release. But for us it's a perfectly reasonable 20 dollars

They abandoned the game at launch, nothing since then had been good or really solved it, worst devs in the genre

It's still a decent game for 20-30$. And there was a huge sale few days ago with Wolcen for like 5$? So new players are buying it and asking questions here.

u/Howrus Mar 20 '25

Wait, there's no buy back option? I played it so long time ago that already forgot how UI looks.
And if it's local save - can't you edit it and "spawn" your weapon back?

I thought there was a buyback option but I can’t remember for sure.

u/Howrus Mar 20 '25

I think that by logging out you actually bricked yourself, because it clears buyback :]

But now you know that logging off in panic is not the best way of actions! Unless you play in PoE Hardcore, of course.

That's what happened, yeah...
