tbf. that's just gonna be divines now as well so nothing's changed for those
imagine running juiced cemetery and running 50 maps to get a brothers stash only worth 40c
IMAGINE
I think I’m gonna see how my blade vortex build goes and if it’s shit I’m gonna do all my challenges in SSF
that what chris wanted , using exalt to be used as slam
honestly they should have just made a new currency type for metacrafting only
Yeah theyre cheap so
oh wait
i remember
that's a lot like what harvest was for when it first came out kek
One good thing is non-meta crafts that costed an exalt still only cost an exalt with crafting bench
only league mechanics really worth farming are heist and expedition
yeah that's true
I put 20 cast speed on a wand for 8c instead of over 100c so that felt good lol
My motivation to play is so low rn 
Also lake of kalandra rogue metamorphs are insanely over tuned and give no loot lol
Had them like 3 times
idk why they nerfed metamorph tbh
And they 1 shot me for a few pirtals
they completely nuked metamorphs and idk why
Then when I finally kill em they drop nothing
Well I’m gonna get ahead by getting a filter for chaos recipe farming for now
like wtf made metamorphs so god damn overpowered lmao
same thats when i got to level 97 and 38 challenges in SSF
in archnem i did 40 challenges in SSF
They get archnemesis mods lol
Anyone else feel like this league is just previous league, but worse?
no its most likely a bug
Honestly. Chaos recipe is the best way to get currency rn lmao
Not even joking

That how bad this league sucks
thats most likely just bugged, they dont nerf things to that extent
if you told me 3-4 years ago that everyone and their mom would be doing chaos recipe for currency i'd tell you to fuck off lmao
archnem did but that was fixed, they just dont give good loot now
Fight a rogue metamorph in a lake
Shits absolutely absurd
i remember killing one easily and the other smashed me in 1 hit
im inquis with 5k life 1k ES
ele res above 75%
Yeah so your tanky lol
kinda
Still got 1 tapped
chaos res is trash and my armor isnt good either
but youre right
1 tapped as a tank class
almost 18k armor rn
not amazing
Lol that's way more then most classes
not nearly as much
Inquis rf is my favorite for being unkillable
metamorph league was my first SSF league
it was hard but doable
metamorphs now are either a joke or broken as hell
neither of those drop good loot
Yeah the loot is abysmal
as i said i had one earlier that dropped exactly 1 alch and nothing else
and dont get me wrong
i appreciate an alch right now xD
i have no organs
kek
they dont drop them
for some reason
The tile will say "metamorphs deal 100% increased damage and have 100% increased life, catalysts drops are doubled". They don't even drip catalysts
So you get nothing
And they get increased power from the lake
Lake is shit
Has potential. But it sucks rn
Bad
i think the lake is just affected by the loot bug like everything else
Nothings worse then seeing kalandra and she just fucks off and doesn't even give u a ring/ammy
Like why am I even playing
Fuck u
100% a bug
it feels like 90% less loot from everything
they did not mention anything like that in the patch notes or whatever
way too noticeable to be a stealth nerf and theres no reason to make yellow maps unplayable
lolcohol says theres streamers that stopped mapping because they lose currency from it
LMAO thats exactly what happening to me
Is everything better with lifetap now?
crazy to me it's been over 48hrs and GGG hasn't even said anything about this loot bug either
i dont get the alch back
each map give you more than an alch in value
IIQ-optimized players on standard are seeing awful loot, too. something is definitely wrong
but if you check other currency you make more than 1 lach
mom GGG broke the game again
With leech/regen & lifetap I can reserve all my mana w/o being unable to spam attack/spell!
like, not just "we're getting less loot than before" but "clearing a heavily juiced map with tons of IIQ gear often drops nothing of any significant value"
yup
Empys group is currently fsrming simulacrums last ibheard
They were losing currency doing super juiced 6 man maps
Usually they make 10 mirrors in currency in a week or 2 lol
pogi mo ser
delirium content
no way
i have 5k hours in poe dude lmao
i know how the game works
the question is how they get the splinters with the awful loot issue
its still drop with the right atlas
is it just me or do the lake of kalandra mobs hit far too hard
seems so yeah
im practically getting 1 shot here so i think im a call it quits lol
LMAO a metamorph with currency organ dropped exactly 1 jewellers
we all know its not and they never said it was
I got base crit + % max life with 40c investment pog
on a 6 link as well, 6link included in price

it sux
drops are bugged so nothing drops
meta is just RF and lightning strike and explosive arrow like last league
how is that not fixed?
its not confirmed as a bug its just redditor speculation
that person is just mad and only talkshit about poe
there is more build available
and yeah for now loot aint the best but ggg will do stuff for it , league is out for 29h
how is RF meta anyway?
the league mechanic is fine but its bugged af
do lots of people think its bugged?
yeah
wonder why it's not fixed yet
its been only 29h and launched on the week-end
cant expect fix
inb4 patch tomorrow "we are sorry we accidentally enabled hard mode for everyone"
i dunno, sounds like a bad release window
i've done like 40+ and i've not seen any bugs personally? loots are not great but i would not consider it as a bug
its drastically less loot everywhere
it's very different from sentinel where you were getting too many loots imo
and they didnt mention any changes to loot as a whole
its been like 2 days and it was over the weekend. if there is something to it, im sure GGG will comment on it this week
they did
well it sounds like im skipping this league then
only for the unique i think
i want no part in those problems
they changed how magic and rare monster should give loot depending on their difficulty
they also reviewed unique drop rate
skipping because of a maybe bug that will likely be resolved in the next few days?
Some of us value our days
if not solve you can at least be sure GGG will take about it probably in the next hours , its monday in new zeland
not sure if i've just been unlucky but the first unique i got was in map didn't get a single unique during acts hahaha, they were not kidding about making them rarer
its a single player game that feels like they balance it for a competitive pvp game
its just luck. I got 2 Tabula's drop before level 15
largely single player pve
what ?
crap wrong discord
balanced around pvp ?
anyway, league is fun so long as you don't take it as seriously as most people
you can tell the people who play for fun vs the people who play as a lifestyle
fun would be seeing some actual loot dropping...something other than armorer scraps
than again it is the first weekend so ill give them a chance
Sick of going in lake and opening chest to find literally 1 rare dagger. K.
did a 10 diffculty oner and got a chrome out of the last chest...1 chrome
same
felt like I was being insulted
difficulty 10+ have a bit more loots
do it
anyone have yellow maps i can get?
anyone know how to search for the lake that let you reflect your own item ?
As far as I can tell it's random but it only appears in high level tiles
Also doesn't seem to show up on tiled with chests only the one without chests
It's only my anecdote though
anyone wanna sell me maps i need? paying 1c each
read discord rule
try #trading
Did GGG fix maps? I'm suddenly getting currency again
or poe.sale
Best boss killer is EA ballista?
Trying to find a build for ssf that can get me all the void stones
probably EA then
the new lightning skill as a totem
ok well i see what kind of bugs now hahaha, monsters are stuck in the map and you're unable to kill them 😦 , also i think the difficulty is kinda insane for the rewards but other than that i just did a difficulty 14 i got for ~40c of values that's not too bad
ele is bigger but squishier
I haven't gotten to play the league yet. But I am super excited for this league. Last league was so bad for me and this one looks to fix all the things I had issues with
guys what is an good melee dps build for this league?
@stiff lantern depends on how melee you want to be
Bc LS is always solid
RV one is good, also boneshatter
spectral shield throw is considered melee ?
Bc Ls ? im returning after an long times so i kinda lost in some therms =x
@stiff lantern lightning strike
Pack it up boys 💼
this channel die after the forum post? lol
Disappointing, but not unexpected. I think the main issue is that ggg's/Chris Wilson's vision for the game no longer aligns with the player bases' vision of the game. Yeah there might be a bit of overlap, but it seems more like ggg wants to keep on living in the diablo 2 era of arpgs with the recent changes. The other issue, is that you introduce one of the most profitable league mechanics ever with Sentinel, and then put out this league where you get jack shit half the time.
I just wish some maps would drop
ive gotten a decent amount of chaos from the lake in campaign idk why everyone is whining about there not being enough loot 🤷♂️
It's more about the rewards not scaling with the difficulty imo. I did a couple of lakes during leveling, and got my first like 20c that way, but there's no point in doing lakes in maps, since it just became like 10x more difficult for the same rewards. When you could just farm heist and get the exact same shit, if not more, or farm essences in maps and make way more. It's underwhelming.
makes sense
id pay $$$ to play 3.13 again with new atlas tree
how good is cyclone in this league ?
boneshatter seems so strange F =/
Yeah im out
.
Giving away my character and currency and playing something else for this season. That was the nail in the coffin for me lol
What a shit league this is
Destiny 2 has a new season. Guess I'll do that been a while lol
Aint gunna wait a month for this league to be good
this league really needed a meta progression
Thier vision and what I enjoy definitely aren't aligning this league
Game feels like poop
Loot is non exciting or existent
rares that take forever to kill and drop nothing sucks ass
And mobs are cracked af
How long will we start getting relic of the pact drop?
If it's a drop from the Trialmaster fight -- which seems likely -- it's going to be pretty hard to get
Oh... oh dear. One of the fragments for the Trialmaster map is going for 4+ div alone.
anybody know where all the trialmaster fragments drop from yet?
i just know one i got from uber atziri
but was one of the cheaper ones
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ultimatum_Aspect says the really expensive one (Deadly End) is from Ahuatotli, the Vaal boss in Delve
Deadly End - Ahuatotli, the Blind
Victorious Fate - Atziri, Queen of the Vaal
Will of Chaos - The Vaal Omnitect
Ignominious Fate - Vaal Temple
sooo anyone wants to talk about kalandra lore here
I'm only up to stone no. 7 about her thoughts
It feels like there's nothing at all
What even is it. She’s some weird bird goddess who likes cloning stuff?
No, she is a being that was trapped in the lake and can't get out
nowhere does it say she's a goddess
She's just super old, somehow got trapped in this lake
people who encountered her all kill themselves when they realize they can't let the lake information leak after promising to help her get out
too bad all she does is just talk shit and fuck off
Oh, I just assumed she was some sort of divine figure due to the powers associated with her and with her strange appearance
I see nothing that points that she is a goddess
I mean she could be but nothing shows she is one
What else would she be?
She's just a being
That's my take
The lake could be keeping her alive for all we know
That’s pretty vague though.
A mystery.
I was hoping for way more information than this
I asked around those in red maps
you still cannot talk to her
like wtf
ggg made a npc that just talks shit and flies off?
that's going to be the league theme?
even synthesis had more lore than this
Filler league
bro they made an entirely new NPC for this filler league
league schedule should be 6 months, 3 months for balances
Yes, that does nothing
Piens it hurts 
No more
Finally a league that reveals Kalandra and we fucking get almost nothing
it’s actively worse than not knowing about kalandra
they should have just made it toucan lake lmao
the info we got so much is useless
she's a being trapped in this lake
we don't know if she's a goddess
or is she something eltrich
and for some reason people who encounter her in her earlier days all kill themselves after promising to help her
just so nobody else knwos about this lake
I know no one cares about the lore in POE
but my god it hurts
Now to PM kittencatnoodle and hope she finds out SOMETHING
She's an analogy for the loot
lol
3.19 beta testers when nda
Think this might be my shortest league to date, not including total skips. Think I dropped out after 2 weeks at the shortest, before. Couldn't play on friday, so saturday evening, and sunday morning were, ironically, outside the campaign, a big disappointment.
lol jokes aside it's kinda sad when the people who promised to help her out kill themselves
like what did they find out about the lake
Are we also gona kill our selves? Or we dont help her, cuz we dont care lulw
her essence monster at difficulty 11 killed me earlier
so she helped me to die first
thanks kalandra
@livid apex chris shows up in reddit, says shit then fucks off
wow like kalandra damn

I think this whole shit is something Chris tries to tell us via mystery
I thi k he knows something
At least he says it himself, instead of leaving it to PR.
so tldr shitty league ?
and I think hes pulling it out his shorts
league mechanic is pretty fun
essences monster difficulty 10+ are just so overpowered 😱 , league is not really bad imo but i think the difficulty/rewards should definitely be adjusted
Seems so. Core concept works decently, but no rewards and AN mobs make it a shit show.
I just want more fucking lore
There's barely any uniques that has flavour text on kalandra
you want more hour of sleep and gameplay
so nothing this league supplements enough information
my difficulty 11 essence one shot me
I came back to the lake, saw the essence monster and one shot again
I skipped it after that
bad league and im not finding an good physical build seems an pass =/
to be fair I only have 4.5k life and 1.2k es
yeah like i said they are insane, i'm fine up to difficulty 10, but after that it take either 10 minutes to kill one or you get one shot by them
5.7k total life es is pretty reasonable
I don't mind taking 10 minutes to kill one, but getting one shot is not fun
did I tell you he had a temporal bubble too
so I couldn't even get close enough
doesn't matter since he fired a projectile at me and I died instantly
that's cool. got the onslaught hat.
You know how they split off and made OSRS we need to split off and do OS PoE
This is RS3 kind of bad
Nice post by chris he said we are not gonna fix the game
he said the game is fine, nothing to fix tho
it's different from he is not going to fix the game
Lol
This will be the worst League for player retention, I can feel ot
But the game IS fine, its the shitty league they tend to release every now and then
With shit tuning
Probably not. They take whatever they are given, they will eat the biggest shit sandwich of all time and say thank you chris wolcen may i have another
do we know which maps have 6 socket and six link recipes?
poedb
crafting bench tells you
ty
it's funny somebody made a comment on reddit about blizzard saying you think you do but you don't when somebody asked for wow classic and look what happened years later XD
POE classic soon TM
is lake rewards random or specific enemy type?
seems to be random i've filled some lake with same enemy type and got different rewards unless there's something else going on 🤷♂️
any tips for lake? or just random spam with specific high tiers
I wouldn’t take PoE classic too far back, imagine bring back old desync issues
my tip is just dont play them as they are supposedly being buffed soon. just store them in a stash tab
depending on the buff it will prolly be better than the current state of mapping
so maybe buy a bunch too
for actually building a map place speciality tiles far away from starting zones and normal tiles at starting zone
delirium can be debated depending on board setup if it's worth placing further or closer to start
only 1 reflecting mist for lake?
205 resistance bone ring, lol.
iv never seen the mist spawn in anything other than difficulty 4 areas. and iv done around 2 dozen
bad luck?
reflected jewelery is literally a 50/50 you could get a ring sith stupid good effects and literally no back draws or get two rings that both have equally bad backdraws
liek tht for example max mana loss meh evasion rating loss can also be meh
Wow resist
or the one guy who got when you hit an enemy they gain mana
cause that clealry does something
yeah, and kinda frees up resist on other gear to get some better mods without worrying about res
I like this league because it means more time to grind the d3 season on friday, don't have to split games
So, I am a casual player, just hitting act 5 last night.
So is the situation accurately summarized as 'shit's fugged'? Because there are a lot of noises and the most recent staff post isn't encouraging.
Do you have fun ?
i imagine for a casual player there's going to be no visible issues
Campaigns are always relaxing, it's routine and I get to play with a new build with little risk, but I imagine things would be different when I hit maps.
When the math really starts kicking in.
I mean do you think the problems brought on Reddit post will affect you anyway?
Jus play till maps
Most of are valid complains but if you are having fun, don’t really need to care
I mostly trade for my best in slots since I am too casual to craft on a high level.
But from what I heard the economy is still in flux and many of my goal uniques are hideously overpriced.
Yea economy is kinda screwed all over due to the sudden changes made
the complaints seem to be pacing related anyways. people are used to 100 items spread out in even intervals, instead of 10 sets of 10.
I hope it stabilize soon, I sill got a couple of days before I hit map and really need to shell out the cash.
I really don't want to waste days farming orbs in Heist.
Heist is fun, but endless Heist is another beast.
Can’t disagree but wouldn’t fully agree either.
It jus feels so off sometimes in terms of loot
i'm still getting somewhere around 10c per white map, so it seems fine to me.
doesn't feel much different than other leagues
I think people are too used to loot explosion
I remember Chris did say anytime they change loot people will not be able to adapt
i killed 1 monster earlier and got like 300 armor orbs, that was pretty loot splosion =p
I rather take 1 alchemy over those
I am so casual I vendor identified rares, so funnily enough I think I am good for alchs.
Yeah I think you will not notice any changes, just keep going as long as you're having fun.
So what's the general consensus on the best tile on max depth lake?
Because essence is fugged right now with unreasonably monstrous tanks.
And strongboxs are also fugged with video evidence of literal empty box.
I wish to be more informed before I dive back in today.
And I don't think shrine tiles actually gave any tangible rewards whatsoever beyond the temporary buffs.
i mean if you don't mind the shards harbis are pretty gucchi
but it kinda died since you know the exalt divine swapperoo
also shrines onlyt eh duration scale based on difficulty
I'd still do essence
New stacking Archnemesis mods have made yellows into uber yellows.
if you want EXP and don't have paradise you could slap breaches on teh edge as well 🙂
What's paradise?
basically a special tile that awards ALOT of EXP
So breach and paradise, any other good tile for edge? Does legion works properly in Lake?
Reflection of Paradise -- "Contains wild Animals; Monsters drop no items; 1000% increased Experience gain". Like Untainted Paradise in a lake tile
Minimum level 68
I am avoiding essence and strongboxes for now until they fix them.
Shrine is also garbo.
You can find this in tiles?
be warned breaches and harbis will nuke your frames on any non good PCs
1000% increased experienced is like 3x the experience from untainted paradise
i was on literally lowest settings and all three harbis summoning like 10 packs of mobs just kileld my frames for some reason
imagine still playing poe
just skip harbies. ex shards not worth anything now
The amount of time to have decent tiles is long
but the ancient shards my guy
also still better than a normal tile let's be real here
dead league btw
ancient orbs are literally 4c
for 4c i could afford a mansion in this economy
harbies best use is xp and alch shards now
Dead league indeed
Chaos is still the gold standard right?
yes chaos is still the mid tier currency
i don't think they'll ever find a good replacement for it market wise
for now. next league ggg is replaceing them with perandus coins but wont bring back perandus
i think you mean armour scraps and weapon whetstones
those are useful
exactly why they'd be the swap
id prefer if stacked decks replace c if they do somethiong dumb like that
it's void cards or nothing
go play the craft of exile minecraft modpack in the mean time
Anyone know if tiles can be 8x8?
i'll just go back to playing space pinball
So only the high tier currencies are borged right now?
yes divines and exalted basically swapped places
Lol
the visionTM
^
i like the ex and divine swap. just that there is no real support for it. so heist is now the #1 money maker hands down.
ehh the main issue is exalteds are kinda worthless without the big heavy hitting crafts behind it which is the issue divines still served a good purpose and was priced accordingly there was just no real need for the change and thats the issue alot of people have
nah iv actually used 3 exalts just to make my mediocre items a bit better
so really i think using them for intended use is fine
anyways im going to go read a book now. ill see you all when ggg fixes the league or releases poe2 solving all the problems in the game
trash dead league lets hurry up and quit already cya in 3 months for more disappointment
No thanks, I still have a spare tank of copium left. I will rethink my choice once they ran out.
Playin too much LC, they will probably nerf it next league so I’m sticking for a while LUL
What's LC?
lightning conduit
Is it good? I am aiming for CL Inquisitor myself.
it's gaining in popularity over the last 24 hours, both in softcore and hardcore.
geez whats wrong with the drop rate this league
Currently starting red maps and struggling to collect enough alt orbs to craft some basic shit
eldritch c hallenges
the text bug never truly dies
Semi-global reduction
wow, they doin a great job reducing the fun
wow, thats just sad
No wonder everyone in my guild just farms heist lately
fellas is this league worth playing or should i skip it
If u want to play the game play it 🙂
i don't know if i do, i need someone to tell me how to feel
are you casual player or no?
Loots are getting remixed, power levels are down, economy is wack.
I suggest either wait a week until things stabilize, or just take your time with the campaign.
Skills and mechanics are mostly untouched so most builds are still good.
But Archnemesis tend to be still a bit wacking the game too ?
maybe it's just me :/
i mean i'm already in maps on my 2nd build
Those aholes are thankfully avoidable.
idk how casual is defined but i have three HHs in standard
Like, if I see a yellow fug with a mod list that went down to almost half my screen I am just gonna flamedash away.
Not because I can't kill it, but because I only get 3 hours of game time in a weekday and I am not wasting my time of the lunk.
god damn, found some bothersome ones during leveling
If you're casual I am a complete scrub then.
then id recoment to wait 1-2 week and decide after if you want to play
if you have already two builds in maps, YOU actually should be the one saying if the league is good or not xD
zzz hahaha
i had hoped the loot was bugged cuz i wanted to try out ziz's lightning conduit, turns out it wasnt , guess im not rerolling, not gonna play a game that criminally wastes my time, thats why i left warframe lmao
*and hope it's fixed by week 3/next league
Warframe
I haven't heard that name in a long time...
I see it is still grind to grind to grind?
Former beta player here.
Used to run with Warbros.
When Zorencopter was still a thing.
warframe is literally same grindfiesta that has similar issues
haha it's been a long time since I played this game
I would say Warframe is worse, at least in PoE you only need a couple of weeks to reach top tier.
the loot was bugged
wait there is a loot bug? idk I'm just taking my time throughout the campaign waiting for the economy to stabilize
I mean, of course that the case in a videogame which doesn't reset every few months
So doesn't really work as a critique, I'd say.
yeah can't really compare those two games I'd kindly say
loot drops are really gutted, it's not bugged it's intended
ppls are legit struggling to sustain alchs and vaals, and ppl are starting to use the chaos recipe to get any currency 💀
https://youtu.be/dl0yrS-FUMo PSA: Tainted fusings were nerfed hard and are basically useless. Don't spec into beyond thinking you're gonna 6-link uniques
Tainted fusing and jewellers seem to have 10% chance of success.
oh my.. I was already sad when I saw the divine change..
6 linked should worth more than an insulting 20 fusing.
Considering it took an average of 1200 fusings to get a six linked.
agreed hard
I play games to escape from real world issues dammit.
I don't need inflation to hit Wraeclast as well!
it would not be as much of a problem if those mobs were actually dropping things
I mean warframes has its own sets of issues
at this rate they should just have created a single currency for the meta mods of the bench
Hard to compare it to PoE
i sure love fighting a rare for 30 seconds to get 30 instances of mirrored rare shit
You know what's the most ironic part is?
The thing I love the most about the league is the MTX instead of the base game.
I got my first yellow map today. It was magic already, went to my bank. Didn't have a scour. Thought 'damn, that's unlucky - oh well, I'll just regal it'. No regal either. Haven't used either. Level 79. What the actual?
Will the adjacent flask proc off of the when flask is full enchant?
that bad news
wdym?
When you instil the flasks, when flask is full it uses it, but will that trigger the adjacent enchant?
You think GGG should set up a humanitarian effort for the poor?
Like a soup kitchen, but with free maps. Map soup, with an alchemy orb as a pity giveaway. You know, like a government bailout.
+1, I play for fun and now it feels like a second job
Wilsoncare
Thanks, Wilson.
Welfare for all exiles.
One Alch as a log in reward.
unfortunately not
Actually now that I think about it, I am surprised that GGG never implemented any sort of log in reward like many other multiplayer games.
paid 30-day login boon as in Diablo Immortal
Kirac's Vault is an insult for a battle pass.
Where is our dancing tomato man?
nah bro they want it to be fair, same amount of disappointment for everyone
you obviously missing the vision(tm)
crap i sound like all those people i laughed at before shitting on the game
But the hardworking daily mappers of Wraeclast are the backbone of this nation! They deserve to be supported.
Where else do you think your 6linked Impulsa on Poe Trade is gonna come from?
They toil tirelessly on the infinite horizon so us casual can sup on the fruits of their labour.
Yeah, if I just get up early...
Okay, so the question is...
Do you think the whole major loot change will be reverted? Cause people are pissed it wasn't in the patch notes (which is fair) and it seems nobody likes it. Not to mention, it would probably fix Harvest and Kalandra rewards being shit.
I don't think the league monster drop rates are actually what messes the loot now tbh
There has to be more
Strongboxes are borged for once.
Revert? Unlikely. Bugged? Maybe.
I mean, yeah, never forget Occam Razor
Like, my first lab run I opened an Izaro box that contained only blue.
That's not normal.
wait no
it's not Occam Razor
What was the philosophical thing about malice and incompetence
Oh it's Hanlon's Razor
I prefer Mehrune's Razor.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Everyone assumes that... well, hard mode level drops are intentional and are part of the vision tm, but for all we know it could be some bug which fucks up with the actual rewards and makes it waaay worse that that change is supposed to.
but yeah I hope that's the case
Cause here is the thing.
GGG sometimes fucks up, but a lot of the times - you can still see the overall plan.
Yeah, 3.15 nerfed a bunch of shit, but it didn't really impact that much in the long run, I'd say.
Here... I am not really sure what's the idea.
PoE2 will be most likely released in the Q4 of 2023, maybe early 2024. It's like, 8 more leagues before PoE2.
3.15 was so hated that Chris went to multiple podcasts to explain his vision and why those changes were made.
Idk, if people think PoE2 is the magical answer to everything, those people are in for a big disappointment
Because they were controversial, but had reasonings behind them.
Well I agree that the game should be hard, but hard doesn't mean exhausting to play
I do also think this because PoE2 will be such a different game that people will be disappointed. I mentioned it because it doesn't seem like a change that makes sense with the pipeline of preparing the main game for it.
3.20: Valley of Kalandra. 3.21: Plateau of Kalandra. 3.22: Butte of Kalandra.
Basically, if a bunch of nerfs and angry people were enough for Chris to defend the game in front of the community for several weeks on several podcasts, I don't see how current situation is different for Chris not to do so if the current state of rewards is intentional.
yeah, the playstyle looks more focused on fighting fewer, more powerful mobs instead of blowing up hordes of them. And if I wanted that, I'd go play Last Epoch or sth. The monster-melting loot explosion endgame is exactly what I loved in poe.
Hardcore nerfing loot drop rates without mentioning it in the patch notes is a bitch move. The company is called Grinding Gear, it's what the entire company is founded on. Making a huge change to how you Grind for Gear and not mentioning it is pure cowardice.
GGG is incredibly lucky that all the competition in this genre is even more incompetent than they are 
TBH, I've seen complains about X type of currency dropping less or map sustain in other leagues. It's a common issue that is never in the patchnotes. Which is why my copium is that this change is bugged and it's not supposed to be as punishing as it is right now and something went wrong.
I would not say that, it's just that PoE imo is the more refined of the bunch.
Grim Dawn, Inquisition Martyr are all incredibly solid arpg, just not on the scale of PoE.
Blizzard of course is a shit show so we will not be discussing that.
PoE has been doing badly enough that i'm cheering for D4 to be good
He straight up said old league content went from a massive drop rate buff to a "moderate" drop rate buff. Everything except white mobs are league content. So everything got its drop rate massacred, on purpose.
i'm tired of getting fucked by archnemesis in core and i wish chris could for once admit they fucked up and removed it.
Honestly, I am not even sure about that. I mean, they've shown us Campaign gameplay that is also used for promotional material for new players. You cannot market some average juiced Cyclone-build map clear and expect it to work. The slow gameplay in gameplay vids may be more to show the new features, polished animations and visual effects and stuff.
But other stuff? The gem/link changes basically mean that now EVERY build can have an AoE and a single target skill, as well as more powerful utility. It already means that some aspects will be harder, because you are expected to use it.
ah, well that change I think I actually like, but time will tell how it does in practice
but for now, I just want to have fun for god's sake
The thing with PoE2 I am a fan of is that how they made gems to be chase items rather than vendor junk it is now.
Since a six linked gem that dropped would be a god tier find while still be able to co exist with any gear.
I like that, since in the lore virtue gems are supposed to be big deals.
I think PoE2 will bring massive changes.
Some good, some bad, some mixed.
And that means that many will be very upset because it's not the game they want to play anymore.
since you mentioned the lore, I hope that we'll get it more accessible than now, like a few cutscenes here and there
wouldn't hurt
I am pretty sure we will.
Chris has mentioned the fact that PoE2's campaign is much more enjoyable, so chances are it has more polish in every aspect.
yeah idk if i believe a single word now tbh
Will it be fresh enough to play it every time you want to level up a character? Probably not.
I mean... Chris is, essentially, a scapegoat and the marketing figure.
I fucking love PoE lore.
In terms of quality of writing in the Arpg scene, I ranked PoE as No. 1.
Even after all these years the campaign nps dialogs are still just as haunting as ever.
man im so sad that all of this has happened. i was excited like a kid on christmas on friday, considered dropping money for a supporter pack
To the point I actually missed a certain red head asking me if I am still sane.
PoE lore is pretty great, yeah.
hopefully some disgruntled ggg employee leaks the source code some day, then we can remove the vision
do the changes that are on 3.19 kalandra also occur on standard? i mean drops and items changes?
Like, you thought Diablo was fucked up?
Gesture vaguely at Peity
Bitch made the Prime Evil looked like small time.
yep :) only the lake of kalandra is exclusive to the league
enjoy exile
thx bud
are there any private servers around? not talking about private leagues but private servers?
I just wish any game like this had voice acting that could compare to d2
PoE comes close but not quite that level.
shits on fire yo
Lightning conduit is good, but that's about the only thing I can say for that league.
( even if defenses on elementalist at low gear still suck)
this isnt the same game i traded drug addiction for many years ago. i dont know whats happening, but it feels really bad man
Just get back to drugs mate, only consistent thing with stable development path
Predictable results too.
I was also super excited on Friday, like - damn, finally weekend being sober. So much disappointed, that went drinking till sunday evening.
Shit game
its like, i want to play, but its such a shitty state right now, im not sure i can for the sake of sanity
which reminds me, when Zana gonna come back with the cigs?
Good that this friday there is another d3 season. That shit is so stable as my alcoholism for sure.
i was really hyped for the league but all this crap killed my hype and motivation
Essence monsters with arch mods will now take 1.5 min to kill instead of 2, harvest stays fucked, only the mist getting buffed in Lake and general item drops will get a minor buff after being completely gutted. See you guys in 3 months have a good one.
bye 👋
Real prophet right here https://clips.twitch.tv/ObeseBashfulVampireAsianGlow-CTfl5GiWtc-oGgKI
I didn't think I would be starved for alch and chroma pas the fist 12 hours the league, ever.
It is a bit odd ain't it, hit red maps then realised I had to jump into heist to roll them
specced into expedition and ritual early, had zero issue with alch and chromes 
If only he knew, how incredibly right he was 
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/770988077543587840/1011180470433755256/unknown-11.png
im missing shakari and arakaali touched, anybody know if they exist and what they do?
oh, are people comparing numbers of incomplete days once again?
That said, im glad im away from my pc for the next two weeks. Maybe when i come back they fixed the league
even if they do, it's not the same as being able to enjoy the game from the start of the league
ah yes, only unidentified corrupt items allowed this league 👀
tbh at this point i hope Tencent will walk in and tell them to stop this
id actually wanna play the lightning conduit build ziz posted but knowing i'll only get dumpster trash loot has killed all of my motivation to play the game
which sucks cuz its my favourite game and i love the gameplay
Just did uber lab in ssf for my first char, went safe only had 2 keys. Looted more than in my last lake with difficulty 10 
Idc about that anyway
You know , less loot isnt what grinds my gear
What annoys me is that I was hyped by mist refmection items bringing fun stuff
But kalandra flips me the finger 2/3 of lakes and it takes me 10 maps to get a lake
So taking 30 maps to have kalandra actually give the reflect thing and having it be both unusable... bruh
LOL at this recent ggg reddit post of damn now THOSE are some stats...
There's only one way i can respond to that..
the lack of communication from GGG is abysmal. Any other professional software shop with a client would be crucified over this level of white noise. Blows my mind
They sold the chests and expansion support pack , now they are chill next 3 months
probably will come with some shit video we promise next league will be perfect keep buying and supporting us
cant defend them for another league. this is 3 leagues in a row now that I brought new players to the game and they burn out or cant progress. Embarrassing
Yo are we rioting yet?
all the hype around this league had to bring in new players in large numbers and they present the game to them like this? why would anyone keep playing
I;m not playing , but i will look out what is hapening with the game
The only way to show that game sux is to stop playing and buying stuff
To other ppl that enjoy league and donate for support wish u guys next 5 leagues and poe2 like this 😄
that doesn't mean i disagree with all the complains
all the complains are valid
and good
for sure
here one thing
call me white knight or shill
but
people can still enjoy leagues despite all the problems
jus dont go and harass those people
and yea the death threats
I dont haras u ?
no good
yeah no
I wish u leagues like this if u enjoy this league 😄
i nvr said it was u
Cus they look onnly stats
and when u play
u give them good stats
and ur part of the problem too
working in software makes me stressed out at how they handle this stuff.
Bex is useless (shes on vacation anyway wtf)
No one else communicates that well its absurb
i dont say ur bad, i said u can do something to make game better its diff ?
how on earth i insulted u 😄
nvr said u did
Rougue harbor is packed.....lol
its the only money making thing now
aside from expedition
Really?
yes
yeah im not okay with being forced in to heist (awful) or expedition (rares with super powers)
Im endless heist so not in maps yet
The problem with poe is all are forced to heists for currency every league
fck this boring shit
this league especially
this league sentinels are dead
no loot pinatas this league
Im used to shit rng so impact on me is minimal tbh
sentinels were boring mechanic
i hope poe2 is something
over the loot explosion
poe2 will be normal
cus this last leagues are trash
dont expect much from poe2
and only bigest fans playing the game
i dont
i see where it goes
thats why we have d4
d4 will sucks KEKW
y im 100% sure
imagine having faith in blizzard
i have
KEKW
?
what?
yea this guy is nuts
you're way off lol
even d2 and war3 is better than this Chris stupid simulation experiments
war3 is differnt game
also this is the main reply on chris' forum post
how smort
I have no Vaal orbs dropping so I can’t progress red maps on atlas.
For a good part of yellow maps I had no alchemy orbs.
I only have about 40 chaos orbs.
I can’t do harvest, mobs take too long to kill.
You have reduced the amount of mobs, some maps feel empty.
You have made rare mobs more rewarding but impossible to kill. Which means the rewards are zero.
I played all weekend but if the only changes being made are the few mentioned here, then the league is already dead.```
Bro i dont care abt ur opinion on blizard they set the gaming in next level
omg lol
copium they dont
but look at ur poe state 🙂
fromsoftware does set the next lvl in gaming
you know most blizz games are deadright?
blizzard doesnt
that was to save them
70 billion wasted KEKW
what a stupid guys are here
that was a life boat
lol
this guy still play the most bigest joke league on the poe history and he gives opinion on blizard
if not California would kill blizzard hardcore
go farm ur alchemy from map bro dont type here
if you poll anyone blizzard isnt in top 10
oh wow now he's salty
lol
You guys get a room....jeez
get beast to the blizzard discord or something golly
Many are fans what does it matter?

(lazy to search popcorn icon)
comparing anything to blizzard is an insult to whatever you're talking about
but you're assuming its only blizzard
😂
its candycrush, cod etc
lol
hi guys
he doesnt understand
dont tell him
oh
lol
🍿
Thanks
yeah factual information is often frowned upon, should have known better 😦
Go donate more for Chris so he can make more quality leagues like this
😅
Someone is super sad that he didnt got his chaos orb
like what is life
oh
violence
Yes i am
Guys cmon....
😂 it was fun while it lasted
Jesus christ how bad are things in this league right now? It's only Day 3 and even yesterday on a sunday I've started noticing that towns are just barren. And this morning GGG made an underwhelming post about loot + Zizaran even found it to be awful. The hell
oh welcome
everyone is in rogue harbour lul
Oh even there, I'm mostly talking about the uproar going on right now
yeah new low for us
glad i didnt block off my whole weekend for release id be so pissed
yes new low for us but D4 will save arpg gaming since lmao
it’s heist league now get with the times
also heist is actually decent to play now unlike when it was actually heist league
some people used paid time off, can you imagine lol
Man ggg really did fook this league up eh lol
@cunning fern there's no coming back from that
Hard to trust blizzard anymore honestly
not even the best white knight for ggg can make a come back from that
Is d4 has open trading the maybe it can save thia genre
lol
we are talking about a guy who said what i said
oh boy
what did ziz say?
only reason ziz playing is because its his 9-5
but he's criticisms are very valid
its not just ziz, its everyone, everyone hates this league
dont worry tho guys, Bex is on vacation and will be back next monday lol
he's right on a lot of thing
he has a good grasp on everything
usually they really change stuff when even big streamer share same opinions with reddit
so does octavian thats why they hired him
i mean octavian is a new hire idk how much influence he has on development
probably none but i hope he trends it upwards
will take some time
cause i think he is game design or concept
do you guys think they also messed up the china server release? i wonder how they respond to this stuff lol
people losing their minds on twitter I get ppl is not liking the league but idk im having fun
If I read on one of the points (this one about harvest) that made me react badly and ziz too:
"We will rebalance the Lifeforce yield at lower tier maps so the league is more rewarding early on, without it affecting its yield at higher tiers."
Bruh it's still terrible at higher tiers, it's insane how those guys don't playtest their shit
prob yes but they wanted to nerf it anyway and a lot complained about how low tier were not dropping anything so i guess they address that first
im here for you guys
Black Thumb is the best node in the atlas tree this season
hands down
ive taken black thumb since the new atlas tree came out
lower tiers are rather fast to clear though, so it doesn't take long to reach higher tiers. You basically just zoom through that and then get smacked with a wall of shit balancing as soon as you reach high tiers.
anyway I ain't even sure if this is all gonna get fixed soon enough or not at all until next league
a lot of people had trouble progressing including me, what build you got ? not everyone plays with the best 5 builds or is experienced
I thought I was a noob and it ended being up this league it is hard to progress
nah you're fine
I mean im a noot too but apparently a lot of ppl are
Simple tanky burn through the grass, Righteous Fire
build diversity also in the toilet since 3.14
I just run through maps and shit melts
I went Psn BV trickster and it melts but you need some pieces
you hit a wall early on and then the lack of rewards hurt a bit
I mean pure lack of reward alone on its own is enough to discourage one to keep going honestly, that applies with any game.
only smart thing GGG has been doing is locking up the code to not allow someone to make a private server with 3.13 lol
yea buffing loot will solve a lot, ppl might even tolerate archnemesis for it
yeah for sure it is more the fact that most ppl expected other experience and got a hard league imo
I am fine ignoring essences and going zoom zoom with delirium
they can refuse to change archnemesis but loot has to be changed
sure rares and uniques are rare after all by definition, but pushing that limit to EVEN MORE rare is just stupid
I also thought lake is a mechanic not to get insane rewards
but to make the tablet affordable and fast and get an extra there
until late game at least
you guys think the buff to lake will affect the tablets you have already created ? no way right... so ignore the lakes untiil then ?
I even get more worthwile loot rates on Titan Quest that's from 2005 ffs
lmao
but i did remember chris said something about loot 2.0 and how ppl will feel like shit after the change, i think he got it right LUL
PoE is a weird game in terms of commitment
chris wilson manage to declutter loot by providing no loot KEKW
Chris's take in a nutshell:
Problem: we dont want too much clicking in harvest
Solution: no loot, no clicking.
werid game in terms of commitment? are you smoking good?
I was about to drop my build and try smt else 12 hours ago and now i have 200 chaos and ready to burn em . I get the complains to me a Diablo player the game asks a lot from player and it is a hidden jewel... compared to diablo 3 , d2r and future D4... Man PoE is bae
D2 is a 25 year old game ofc it is nt compared to poe
I have only been here for like 5 leagues, I guess it ain't enough to understand the commitment part fully
objectively
future D4 needs a lot to catch up, but knowing blizzard KEK
its like saying star wars special effects are bad to nowadays standards
yeah they are pushinge veryone to PoE2
why cant i kill ubers with viper strike 😠
i will say this again, i doubt PoE2 will be a magical solution
even if ggg trys to promote it that way
it will jus be another expansion
Blizzard just made me quit WoW as soon as shadowlands dropped, and D3 is just not that fun.
another league
I think it will be a reset i see a lot of diablo streamers lost ark streamers getting interested in PoE now
a reset is a double edge sword
yeah it can be they gotta nail it
but if not fuck it i guess if poe 2 and d4 are bad i will just die ( inside)
hmm, i dont think they will ever nail it
It certainly won't be for sure. Simply because they shouldn't make new leagues as guinea pigs for testing balance ideas before applying the proper balance to PoE2. That's how you lose a playerbase's faith.
how can you expect PoE2 to be better when they can't even properly balance the main game
to me, this sadly, seems like acceptable loses for PoE2, at least what i think ggg is trying to do
but im no big brain guy
honestly doesn't take much of an inflated brain to guess it right
sad imo
because poe has a lot of mechanics, poe2 will be a reset prob cut down a lot of legues and polish the rest
idk even with a bad release game is still amazing
PoE is still great as a game, but it'd be nice to be able to achieve end-game objectives without having reward mechanics being gutted every league, so we can progress at all without feeling like we're running in butter.
no, I agree if scaling is so crazy is to precisely allow that
the game is better when its less rewarding tbh
kek
erm... erm... idk about that
thats relative I am enjoying more this league than a lot of ppl on twitter but still there is SSF if you want a slower experience, i insist the balance is not easy to get with this many mechanics
people dont get its all relative
I think in any case ppl on twitter exagerate, there are issues but its not worst league evah
drops are less for everyone
and stuff is more valuable that way?
less items on the ground is a good thing
I'm an SSF and with what's going on I'm scared to progress at all
yeah that is true, but ppl only see themselves
its not barren though, items still drop
some slight adjustments
just not a screenfull of them
uniques feel better to drop now, not a billion of them
They for example cut uniques and make them better thats a good step but i guess the league could be more rewarding ( they are working towards that )
yea its nice not seeing screen full of items for once but i think more adjustments needed
att the end ppl play for the new league mechanic
its less eye cancer for sure
I don't mind not seeing more useless loot on the ground
6 mans not getting infinite curency for juicing maps at endgame is also a good thing
them nerfing 6 man MFing honestly, a long time coming
I just don't want global rewards to be sapped
why not






less loot is intended and is not a bug...
