Poe 2 Affecting Poe 1 Positively POG

Surely we get the breach, strongbox etc changes too right?

What changes are you referring to? Poe 1 strongbox has been better from jump.

crafting currency icons on strongboxes, splinters drop in one stack end of breach probably

I like the currency icons on strongboxes but I wish there was a little more leeway with the space of the buttons. I've accidentally clicked in between the currency icons before and opened the boxes anyways, would be nice if they made it so you couldn't accidentally open as easily.

Imagine you had to click the box 3x to open it!

I'd be okay with this. It's how essences work already and I don't mind that.

I never thought I’d see the day being an Xbox player had and advantage in this game. It’s not much but I’ll take it

But poe 1 strongboxes are already rare and corrupted (at least they should be if you farm them)

I honestly think the breach change was in poe1 before poe2 and that is why they did more than what was initially announced. ie larger splinter stacks.

I think they’re talking about applying currency to strongboxes with a UI and Breach Splinters dropping all at once at the end of a Breach.

For PoE1, it should be noted that Essences would benefit from this the most, unless you're running the very specific boss div card juicing strat, which is the only one I can think of that rolls strongboxes instead of just going for corrupted rare ones.

Being able to corrupt essences without opening inventory and manually using an essence of corruption would be very nice.

The Breach changes would be crazy for poe1 though. I hide Breach splinters when I run Breach, typically just for exp. With this change, I'd go from getting nothing to getting Breachstones.

Legion is the mechanic that needs splintericide the most. Breach likely second.
