[spiral ice]

just random, im in act 7 and found twice

i found some spooky arena oO

and nothing there.

[torn isle]

Qn, how does "your offerings have 17% increased effect on you" even work outside of being a necro or ascendant or have that offering unique?

[obtuse breach]

it doesn't

[violet nymph]

'sup what's the % of gem xp that i can get by sacrificing one in the Uber lab?

[obtuse breach]

wow okay worth

[limpid nacelle]

How new league going?

[obtuse breach]

i'm breaking the game with incarnation of agony spectres \o/

[torn isle]

So, what could the "porcelain queen" actually refer to?

[slow isle]

best asced for EA Champ? tinctures or primalist?

[silver cave]

Sorry for calling out but I am mildly annoyed when people ask to solve problems 3 days into the league, when solving those problems is like 70% of fun in the game and most of the satisfaction from doing so. Like just play the game goddammit

[thorny pond]

Some people don’t enjoy solving problems and just want to kill mobs

[rotund surge]

just leauge started, act 1, and some zones have the horrible freeze lags. Is that an error from the leauge or is that on my end?

[lucid monolith]

what act/zone lvl can i find 4th point, 6th point, 8th point for the new tree?

[gilded iris]

bug?

[vague thistle]

you just walked in another universe

[gilded iris]

Had one with warlock + huntress

[lilac wadi]

forest Warrior onslaught aura is bugged

[light apex]

anybody know if there is a minimum level to get wildwood ascendancies ?

[balmy moss]

can I leave the forest early?

[light apex]

only if you die or exit to char select

[balmy moss]

kinda wack

[gilded iris]

You can portal out

[gilded iris]

He can use a portal

[gilded iris]

faik, I met them after lvl 40

[light apex]

that will put you back in town/HO

[balmy moss]

where does the portal take me from town?

[gilded iris]

but is a leave

[light apex]

then when u go in it will be back in the wildwood

[gilded iris]

back to the start of the forest thing

[balmy moss]

yeah, I meant a way to leave mechanic and get back to map

[gilded iris]

u wont

[light apex]

wait no ?

[gilded iris]

no can do

for now

[gilded iris]

would be broken

[balmy moss]

it seems any way you leave the wildwood, there's no going back

[light apex]

interesting

my bad i guess

[glass totem]

Can DD benefit from any of the warlock minion corpses or are they only useful when alive?

[gilded iris]

https://tenor.com/view/filthy-frank-know-your-place-implicit-gif-26537479

[gilded iris]

we do not know that yet

but would be unwise since you can't desecrate them

and you only got a finite amount of inventory

[glass totem]

Oh got it, you can't raise spectre them to he desecrated?

[gilded iris]

You can raise Spectre

But they do not get the chance to be desecrated

Ghazzy covered it

[glass totem]

Ah

[gilded iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC30m1wVB20

here

[glass totem]

Thanks

[torn isle]

basically, gotta treat those spectres as well as animate guardian. 😛

[light apex]

ooh can confirm - its possible to hit wildwood ascenancies earlier - just found one in a lvl 16 zone

[torn isle]

are teal wisps/nodes just outright rarer than others?

[light apex]

nah they are just reall shit with visibility 🙂

[torn isle]

I know they're shit with visibility, but even then teal just seems to be rarer.

[gilded iris]

I agree

[narrow ocean]

How do I make one of the new transfigured gems? Do I need gems before I go into acension?

[torn isle]

you need extra gems of the same colour, than hope for the best.

[narrow ocean]

okay so can I only do 1 attempt per acension?

[torn isle]

Qn: is there any loot modifier bias between the three empowerment type? (modifiers like white sockets or 6S)

[narrow ocean]

or do i need to bring like 20 green gems

[torn isle]

as many enchants as you can, which is usually 1 unless you use an empowered entrance ticket, or find a shine that gives you extra enchants inside.

[narrow ocean]

thank you so much for the info

[signal swan]

Uber lab gives you 2. Just normal uber lab.

[narrow ocean]

Ive been tyring to save up for caustic poison arrow but the economy keeps doubling the price

[torn isle]

serious question though, is there any point in doing uber if I'm just trying to get transfig?

[signal swan]

you get 2 attempts, I think a few chaos might be worth your time

Oh wait, no, you can't use the same one twice

Maybe if you also want quality on your gems

[torn isle]

yes, but user (1) requires entry fee, and (2) probably takes longer than twice the time it takes to do normal lab.

[signal swan]

then probably do merciless then
though I can't imagine that you take twice as long on a good day

i.e. not today, it's gold key day

[torn isle]

I meant normal, not merciless,

[signal swan]

you roll more choices for merciless though, you might get the rarer option to change a gem to a transfigured gem of the same skill, instead of random of the same colour

[torn isle]

ah, that's what I wanted to check, if there was such an option, merciless it is then.

[signal swan]

I haven't seen it yet either, I think the random one is the only guarantee

[narrow ocean]

So I just bring in 1 green gem per run and hope I get the caustic arrow of poison

does the level of the gem matter?

[signal swan]

you know your stash is right there next to the font, right?

I don't think so.

probably just have the exact right skill gem on hand just in case you get lucky and hit the not-random transfigured option

[torn isle]

I've gotten summon ice golem of hordes from a clarity gem at normal lab, so no, gem level or lab level doesn't matter.

question: how exactly does one fight incarnation of agony..?

[mild ingot]

you run away when it puts the debuff on you

[torn isle]

but it seems to always put the debuff if I'm ever actually in range?

also it seems to flicker and blink all over the place every time my holy flame totem hits it...

[verbal crest]

Expedition with the league mechanic kinda cracked, ngl

[dawn wagon]

Dang I thought the league mechanic was dumb at first but once you get going it’s pretty nice and fun

[torn isle]

only cause they nerfed the damage to not stupid levels. 😛

also clearing my shader cache helped massively.

[quasi warren]

Nerfed already?!
Hype I was so scared to enter

[torn isle]

3.23.0 Hotfix 8

Significantly reduced the amount of damage dealt by Wisp Empowered monsters.
Reduced the Attack, Cast, and Movement Speeds of Vivid Wisp Empowered Monsters.
Decreased the amount of Wisps dropped from Empowered Non-Unique Monsters in the Viridian Wildwood by 30-40% depending on their rarity.

[little crow]

do tinctures work on traps?

[narrow ocean]

For the transfigured gems can I just keep rerunning the acensions over and over and trying a new gem each time? Or is it once per acension?

[violet nymph]

Can any rich fella sacrifice a div for an experiment? would be very grateful

i wanna know if you can sacrifice awakened gems for character xp at the divine font

and there are awakened cold pen supports going at a div rn

but im like level 59 in act 7

so I can't check

i pay in the idea i just gave

[mild ingot]

this idea iss worth less than a transmutation orb

[violet nymph]

dangit

is 5way really that good?

[mild ingot]

loading times are so shit this time of league

everyone spamming mtx

[violet nymph]

that fucking song in the cities, is it also an mtx?

[signal badger]

Are there level requirements for the league mechanic? I'm trying to get my 3rd charm slot and the vendor just keeps saying to return later.

[violet nymph]

They're prob going to nerf it again

[violet nymph]

why do you think so, not in maps yet so idk how bad it is there. Is vivid still a bitch up there?

[lucid haven]

my King of the mist is just standing still in a corner and not taking any more dmg. i can break his es but he wont take any more dmg after that

is it bugged?

[worthy temple]

is this league based?

[wintry thunder]

feels like some stuff has 5x hp for no reason

[mighty compass]

ya the wisps make stuff hella tanky

and put the chaos crystals on hit thing on like every fucking mob

word of advice.. never stop moving.. fuck one shot mechanics ;p

[grim basalt]

Yeah it's the thing

[grim basalt]

I'm liking it. I like the hard to kill elites

Makes you have to put some defenses in your build and stay on your toes

[verbal birch]

i was trolled by the league already

[grim basalt]

So the league mechanic influences other mechanic drops?

[verbal birch]

when i did abberath in a6, he was wild empowered, but entering phase 2, he wasnt anymore, so i had a harder phase 1 with no extra reward 😭

[grim basalt]

I thought it was only the drops drops from the mobs

[verbal crest]

the league mechanic buffs in map mobs with extra item rarity and item quant, which in turn makes expedition drop more logbooks, reroll currency, and artifacts

[peak hornet]

how do you buy or sell affliction stuff

how do you even look them up in poe trade

[grim basalt]

I didn't know that. So then that would also apply to abyss and maybe blight?

And ritual?

[verbal crest]

should

[verbal birch]

ofc, but only the mobs drops

[peak hornet]

it buffs everything

it even buffs ultimatum mobs

they dont even drop loot

[grim basalt]

Yeah but the influence on the drops

[verbal birch]

iirc in the livestream the answer was "it affects any mob drops, as long as its in the same instance"

[verbal birch]

Since when?

[peak hornet]

since this league

[verbal birch]

😮

[grim basalt]

Ritual mob don't influence the drops do they?

[peak hornet]

the monster that ultimatum spwns dont drop loot

[verbal birch]

So its not like before where you get all the loot at the end? and you instead get nothing?

[peak hornet]

get nothing your loot is what trial master offers you

[grim basalt]

Ah

[torn isle]

But does it buff abyss underground areas?

[verbal birch]

no

[peak hornet]

so if you reached like wave 5 you get 5 items at the end

[verbal birch]

like i said before, it only buffs monster if they are in the same instance

[peak hornet]

so it buffs everything other thn underground area of abyss

[verbal birch]

hm... yeah, i guess

cant think of any other mechanic that spawns a new instance 😄

[grim basalt]

Usually new instances have their own

I wish they'd add it to delve

I'd love this league mechanic in delve

[slate vigil]

Took a couple minutes to kill, attacked like 5-10 times a second and that was the loot. Very rewarding

[grim basalt]

I mean soul eater has always been like that tho

Loot isn't influenced by the other mods on the rare

Which is kinda the main issue I guess

[worthy temple]

is performance better than last league start? I gave up last time coz I kept crashing and losing maps

[primal cove]

I'm trying to find out why I can't use tinctures, I already have the coated blade skill

I right click the tincture and nothing happens

[verbal birch]

you have to equip it in flask slot

[primal cove]

oh thank you

[grim basalt]

Do tinctures apply to damage done by minions?

[dry kindle]

If mathil complains about it, u know it's overtuned

[slate vigil]

Took 1/10'th the time to kill, same area, no currency drops unlike the one above that has the vivid empowered status. Slightly more rewarding in terms of rares tho.

Both big apes, probably not the same kind of big ape tho

The other one was bigger I think

[verbal birch]

great... he moved outside his arena and his brain shut down

[mild ingot]

skill issue get mroe dps

[verbal birch]

Sure sure

[grim basalt]

Do you think this league mechanic works well with sanctum?

[verbal birch]

How should it work with sanctum if sanctum opens its own instance? 🤔

[mild ingot]

lul

they have literally no relation

[grim basalt]

So then maybe legion?

[elder night]

what the best mechanic to farm with a lightning conduit build?

[grim basalt]

I know it works with delirium

[viral robin]

Those answers concerning on what tier the King of the mist spawn are crazy... Some says act9 and others says t11..

[covert coyote]

https://streamable.com/lx8cmv what the fuck killed me

i just got 1 shot from nowhere

[violet nymph]

How difficult is the fight

[mighty compass]

not watching w/e that is but its probably the chaos crystals on death mob

just a guess xD

[thorny pond]

Really need the new unique staff

[mighty compass]

really need to remove gotcha one shot mechanics

[verbal birch]

Well, since you can encounter him starting from part 2 i believe, not really that hard, he seems to deal mainly chaos dmg, and i survive with 1800 life and -21% chaos res (a7)

i dont think hes the final boss of affliction

[violet nymph]

Ok

[covert coyote]

there wasnt any chaos crystals

[violet nymph]

Just trying to think of a build to run it

[vapid aurora]

is there a way to walk through the league mechanic without a movement ability?

[verbal birch]

i guess you could just enter it and... i dont know.... use a tp? i never tried using a tp inside

[vapid aurora]

yeah tps work but they send you back in

to the lkeague mechanic

[sick glacier]

what are the requirements for the final wildwood points? i feel like i've been at 6/8 forever

[verbal birch]

kill the final boss

at least thats what was said in the reveal stream, if you had watched it 😛

[glass totem]

do shield skills proc tinctures?

[tidal bloom]

this is hilarious, got the hordes of carrion gem

[pastel mauve]

What is the cutoff for being able to do the final primalist quest?

Kinda annoying, already found/killed the King in the Mist, but was still on the morrigan quest at that point

But now primalist just says come back later

[mild ingot]

i regret wasting time with the warden

should have started levelling [primalist from the start

[narrow aspen]

quick question: are there still awakened gems?

[sonic stirrup]

Yes

[undone scaffold]

any1 wana try? T9, ele weakness only mod.

He is running with speed of F1 bolid 😄

I barelly can outrun him with 130% ms

[hard dew]

Best choice of specialization for hexblast?

[thorny pond]

Prob charms

[hard dew]

thanks

[peak hornet]

how can i price check charms

[peak hornet]

primalist charms are insane

[twin tusk]

how do you get more points of the league mechanic ascendancies?

[young epoch]

hi, anyone tested penance mark cooldown?

[peak hornet]

you talk to one of them in the fog and ascend. then you have to kill 500 affliction mobs in the darkness. doing this gives you 2 points. after that you need to search for the boss in a wooden wall arena and kill it. killing it will give you 2 more points. after these you have to do the mech in red maps and kill the king for the last 2

[verbal crest]

I didnt play last patch so I am not sure, but has preformance dropped like significantly in the last 2 leagues? I am constantly stuttering, taking 15-20 seconds for load screens, etc and I never had this issue before

[balmy moss]

oh this lasts through the map : d

[peak hornet]

yeah

so dont take the increase movement and attack speed one. lost a map because of that

enemies were giga hasted

[twin tusk]

ty!

[thick nexus]

Anyone Playing Detnote Dead?

[still sail]

so much versatility, some charms are busted in their power level

[cloud ice]

why this seems worse than the base gem and the other version in every way

[azure void]

oh well @warm flaxdevs fix skills fix servers fix league mechanic and other league mechanics should drop loot and we talk again till then bb

[sonic stirrup]

Because you have not considered PA Ignite

It can also used to get other ailments higher than you'd otherwise get them like shock or freeze

[median mulch]

I just now met him on t11 map
He just flee at the end. Is it some different encounter I have to find him on?

[cloud ice]

what's PA?

[sonic stirrup]

Perfect Agony

Or wait is that the other Tendrils

[cloud ice]

idk? the other one is just bigger and more base damage

[sonic stirrup]

Wait wasn't that tendril supposed to crit

[cloud ice]

ye it always crit it just doesn't say on the wiki for some reason

3rd pulse vs this one 6th pulse

500% damage is x6 right?

[sonic stirrup]

Yeah

[grim basalt]

I should have done a bleed build for sure. They get all the cool stuff

[cloud ice]

anw doesn't seems worth using over the base gem unless ignite 🤔

[errant warren]

is there some trick to finding particular NPCs or am I getting horribly unlucky at trying to find the Primal Huntress?

[ruby light]

Can you stack charms?

[violet jungle]

SA of menance may drop from first lab also ?

[wary tiger]

are tinctures and charms tradable?

nm

[leaden crow]

where do you lvl your master? (the league mechanic ascendency)

i wanna switch the class

[pulsar depot]

Heist basically hand delivering you a six link now is absolute pogchamp

[west loom]

Man, nameless seer not being interactable after the portal opens is dumb. Lost 2 of them in a row because of this.

[west loom]

Wisps are color coded: Yellow for Warden, Pink for Warlock, blue for Primalist

[pulsar depot]

Lvl 1 Grand Heist that you get basically for free during the campaign. Might not be the 6 link you want, but I got one with 6% Spell Suppression and like 70% Evasion

I'm already popping

[balmy rampart]

nice

[mental junco]

do i have to use hydrosphere if im using eye of winter?

for singletarget to chain with snakepit

[hollow mason]

So, how to progess in new league ascendancy thing? Seems like i doing it wrong, no additional points gathered

[west loom]

the npc related to your ascendancy gives you quests, 1st one is collect wisps, 2nd is find a unique enemy and kill it, third is kill the ||king in the mist||

[hollow mason]

Well, i get that thing, but how to complete quests? my gems lvls 20, enhance half of level 3, and 2 initial points of ascendancy. Doing branch t1-t2 maps, since that dd thing obliterating on any yellows. Also it feels LC doing half of damage it should, but idk, i havent seen streamers playing LC to ask

[west loom]

there should be a dialogue option above "purchase items" in the npc, or a quest while you're on the wildwoods

[cursive geyser]

Is there a map of the darkness forrest? or a way to find what your looking for?

[verbal crest]

is trade site down?

[pulsar depot]

Follows the wisps

[slate vigil]

Neat

Killed some 1 wisped enemy, from expedition with the ruined modifier or whatever it's called. 3 uniques from that one kill, like 5-10 rares. With the above buff

[empty kiln]

Anyone know how to find the Stronghold for king

[hollow mason]

well, there a track ||*kill those nameless creatures" which says 120 of 500|| thats it?

[west loom]

probably

[rustic dew]

Is there any specific way to find thr affliction npcs? I find them randomly maybe 1/20 times I enter which seems low. I thought I am supposed to follow the mist of their color but it never leads me there.

[hollow mason]

i guess thats my issue, how to kill 500 by run, if i have around 120-150 till portal to map?

[pastel mauve]

You dont need to do it in 1 area

Its a total count

[hollow mason]

no, counter resets

[pastel mauve]

It doesnt.

I have completed that quests over like, 3 acts

Also, not every mob you kill in there counts

its only ones that have nameless in their name

[hollow mason]

imagine level to 85 level and get not enough mobs being killed

[pastel mauve]

are you following the blue nodes?

[hollow mason]

primals?

[pastel mauve]

the colords wisp thingies floating around

nameless mobs should spawn more around the blue ones, as they are associated with the primalist

... just lost my kirac mission thanks to latency, and the portals despawned

ffs

[hollow mason]

seems like i need just choose skill that deal damage and start again to complete class on story, since its almost impossible to progress on maps

[pastel mauve]

Well, good luck. my game is currently playing like a slideshow. so im probably gonna head off

Its neither my cpu, gpu, or ram, as none of those are maxed out, but my latency keeps spiking between 20 and 150

[hollow mason]

friend of mine had issues with AMD

[pastel mauve]

Im on Nvidia, tho must admit i havent updated my grpahics driver in a while

[hollow mason]

which results in halfing fps

[pastel mauve]

could try that

[hollow mason]

last driver was bad, as far as i know, had issues

[pastel mauve]

wait, shader is maxed...

[hollow mason]

lemme load vid to yt really quick, but i locked fps at 80 or 90 😄

[pastel mauve]

lol, sometimes my game just speeds up to lightspeed to catch up xD

[hollow mason]

https://youtu.be/lJscPPuPxqQ

[visual night]

How good is Choir of the Damned?

(The Warlock power)

[hollow mason]

that powerfull mob in the end killed via storm brand curse on hit setup, hahahah

[pastel mauve]

dont think the green line is supposed to top out that much xD

[crisp frost]

i saw a pic today in a stream of those new maps you can buy,but cannot find it anymore,it was a beach map with freared on etc,any1 got a link to that pic? :p

[worthy goblet]

For the league mechanic is there a certain zone level you need to be in for the NPCs to start spawning?

[hollow mason]

t17 map

[light junco]

oh god, it wont die

my minions are trying so hard

[slate vigil]

Umm, am I meant to be buying more stuff from the affliction vendors, would doing so reduce number of enemies outside that gets empowered or is there a different reason I shouldn't buy?

[light junco]

its a trade off, realistically you only want to buy stuff you know is worth money or that you will use

[slate vigil]

So, is the trade of that I lose empowering potential of enemies outside of the affliction?

[light junco]

it appears to be so, yes

[stable bolt]

Does the amount of wisps on leaving the forest increase the difficulty/rewards of mobs? or the number afflicted?

[wintry thunder]

it seems so yes, leaving with 100 vs 4-5k you can really feel a kick

sometimes you get those 2x or 3x juiced lifesteal souleaters, ur map is fked

[marsh oracle]

have ggg said anything about vaal transfigure gems?

[outer sandal]

guys, is the Scourge Arrow totem version better than the self cast one ?

[dusty cove]

So what dose gift of the godess do now?

[shut basin]

bro what is wrong with these purple mobs in the forest?

i felt pretty good about my build just mapping through red maps and then i go into the forest once in a white map and this purple flower dude just obliterates me in 1 second

unreactable

[violet nymph]

is there any boss carries here?

[coarse drift]

how do the corpses and swords on the vendor work?

[slate vigil]

Not sure what you mean by "swords" but assuming by corpses you mean the ones you find on the warlock npc in affliction, it's a special corpse you can put down on the ground to sacrifice to gain damage against and take less damage against that enemy type. It can also be summoned using summon spectre, which allows you to summon spectres found nowhere else in the game. You require the ravenous skill on the warlock ascendency for the sacrifice thing

[grim basalt]

What minions you running?

[slate vigil]

It's amazing that the GGG employees sat down and nobody thought to ask if it's really a good idea to make the primal wisps the same color type as the background particles, never considering the fact that both colorblind and non colorblind people may struggle to identify them

Green, red, white, some other colors. Nope, they had to choose cyan/blue

[light junco]

probably not relevant since the build is still in progress but:

3 raise spectres (fire/ice cannibal, forest warrior, all perfect)
vaal summon skele
8 zombies
1 stone golem of safeguarding
1 regular stone golem
2 lighting golem of hordes

my build is super tanky, I can stand still and watch and my minions wont die, but neither will that monster lmao

[jaunty apex]

this one definitively didnt. think somethings wrong with the essence mob duplication node too
the other one was alot less insane

[slate vigil]

Double vivid and primal empowered? How is that even possible? Also, OUCH

[jaunty apex]

think its bugged. it duplicated an essence monster because of the atlas node.
one of them had only had vivid and primal i think.
and then the other one got all 3 in addition

[slate vigil]

Gonna need a 100m dps build for that one

[slate vigil]

Same as a corpse

[coarse drift]

Vendor sells anything besids corpses?

[slate vigil]

That specific vendor doesn't

You buy one (preferably named "perfect" at the start) drop it on the ground and either use ravenous on it to get the bonuses against that monster type for the duration of the current area, or summon a spectre from it

[agile pier]

Ultimatum is so much fun, but everytime I take a few seconds to read the new mods and then start the next round, my game crashes

[sonic stirrup]

Holy hell

[slate vigil]

The price one has to pay for playing week one of a 3 month league

[violet jungle]

charming xD

[onyx cove]

thats like mirror one _)

[violet jungle]

probablu closer to 1c one xD

[onyx cove]

ill take it for 1 c >D

[slate vigil]

Yep

Minimum isn't amazing, maximum is. the regeneration is a wasted stat

[violet jungle]

depends on build ;p

[onyx cove]

if you have 3 of them thats like 3 grand spectrums

[light junco]

bruh thats gotta be the only thing I can't stand about this patch, ive had more crashes in the past 48 hours than I have in the last month

[slate vigil]

Well that's how it is at league start. If you really think about it, GGG are proficient at fixing crashes

1 month in and especially 2 months into the league, it's nearly always quite stable (compared to league launch at least)

[arctic cargo]

whats the best boss to farm this league?

[honest trail]

how you apply these tincures to weapons?

i have the passive but i cant right click it

[grizzled moon]

goes into a flask slot

and you turn it on

[honest trail]

oh wth that isnt rly clear

[grizzled moon]

yeah i suppose it was in the promo material

[slate vigil]

I would say it's currently the most confusing wording that exists right now. It's so dumb

Missleading too

[honest trail]

can you easily swtich the mistwood ascendancy?

[light junco]

you have to find one of the NPCs again

but its not a massive pain since you can find them pretty easily

[sick glacier]

confused about getting wildwood points. am i supposed to have a quest for the last points or just need to kill the boss? pretty sure i just killed him but didnt get any points

[slate vigil]

Introduces a unique affliction boss, drops the most 1 alch unique of all 1 alch uniques. Alrighy then

[honest trail]

i suppose you always start at 0 points then if you switch?

[slate vigil]

Did you talk to the npc after that?

[sick glacier]

yes, they had nothing new to say

[light junco]

talking about when you kill mist king

?

[sick glacier]

yes

i've done 3/4 on huntress, 2/4 on warden, and 0/4 on warlock. do i need to do all 3 for it to count?

[balmy rampart]

i thought those were meant to be hidden thats why hard to see

[slate vigil]

I see no reason why they should be. There is nothing special about them, they are just annoying

[balmy rampart]

is blue the one u can craft yourself?

[slate vigil]

The primal are the rarity boosting ones, rarity is the worst stat to get

[balmy rampart]

if so thats probably why it can be really good i imagine

hmm

yea im still learning this new mechanic

didnt realizxe to follow colors in there until i watched zizarans vid

[slate vigil]

Huh?

[balmy rampart]

when u pick an affliction assendancy

the4 one that u follow the blue to find

[rotund surge]

Somebody else just gets horrible lags/freezes randomly? I already checked file integrity on steam? Randomly = for one entire zone.

[balmy rampart]

i assume its the ascendency were u can put your own charms into

i havent logged in today, but yesterday my game closed 4-5 times

[rotund surge]

its like zone A will be normal, then zone B horrible lags, again zone C normal

[balmy rampart]

hopefully its being looked into

[grizzled moon]

experienced some pretty long loading screens today and crashes

[rotund surge]

And I play solo, so I don't switch my gateway

[grizzled moon]

was fine mostly on leagustart

[balmy rampart]

yes long loading screens i get

i assumed it was my comp

[marsh oracle]

I kill king of the mist 2x but quest still there ??

[slate vigil]

Oh wait, are you talking about "crafting the ascendency tree by putting in charms"?

It should indeed be that

They are called primal wisps I think and that's the primal class

[balmy rampart]

yea thats what i was asking

is that one connected to blue dots?

if so probably cuz it potentially has best powers of the 3 ascendancys

if correct thats probably why u cant see them, to make it harder

if that makes sense

my explaining is shit today lol

[slate vigil]

It's an attempt at justifying it yes, but it's by no means agreeable

[balmy rampart]

is it the best of the 3 ascendancys btw?

cuz i have no idea was just guessing

[slate vigil]

If they ever did come forth and say they intentionally chose that color for the most desirable ascendency, I would simply tell them that's a stupid reason and they need to stop thinking like that. It's not justified

[balmy rampart]

maybe, to me it made sense

[grim anvil]

Wait so Tincture mod "Poisons you inflict on non-Poisoned Enemies deal (201–300)% increased Damage" can be scaled with 75% increase effect with empty flask slot?

[balmy rampart]

the best one is harder to find

[balmy rampart]

all i know about poison is, zizaran said thats insane

said something about poison being really good now

all i know is i cant complain with poe seasonal mechanics

cuz i been playing d4 for 3 months LOL

its worlds better in poe

only thing i prefer in d4 is the world/graphics

everything else poe is superior

[slate vigil]

The maji is the early game ascendency, warlock is rather specific and may seem to focus on it's own special mechanics. Primal is the endgame class that relies on high end charms to function

[balmy rampart]

which might not even be the case in poe2

if the graphics are on par with d4 or better

which my guess is they are

[light junco]

honestly ive been thinking of respeccing into warlock since my build only manages 1 real button

[rotund surge]

combat is cleaner in d4 then in poe, if the can make clean (and skillfull) combat in poe2, it will be perfect

[balmy rampart]

yes

[light junco]

the curse that generates enemies is really good for recharging my val summon skele

[balmy rampart]

the graphics and setting of d4 i like

angels vs demons i like

itemization in d4 blows

and it gets boring easily

and they put no thought into the seasonal mechanics in d4

like they dont even try

[bronze sapphire]

about to league start, any viable mf builds yet?

[balmy rampart]

idk im following a srs build on maxrolls

so far so good

[rotund surge]

I wish they would allow advanced ftx options (other modern games like tarkov have it) there you can chose what/how the colors look for you personally, thats my only complain about the d4 graphics

[balmy rampart]

i also hate d4 camera options, i like playined zoomed in sometimes

[light junco]

I used ghazzy's zoomancer build but with my own adjustments along the way

[balmy rampart]

and d4 zoomed in sucks bad angle

[balmy rampart]

nice, hows that going so far?

[light junco]

smooth

[rotund surge]

played zoomancer (a long time agoe) found it annoying, if something dies, it is such a hassle

[light junco]

I have ultra tanky minions, nothing has died on me

ive died a lot more than any of my minions have, thats for sure

[rotund surge]

what maps you running?

[light junco]

oh im not at t16 yet

im still climbing up there

and my gear is pretty sus, no 6 link yet

[rotund surge]

I leaugestarted today, in act 4 😄 but it lags so horrible (sometimes)

[light junco]

oof

I found that this passive + this helm I got mad tankiness all around but the tradeoff is not socketing anything in the helm. im casually walking through maps without much difficulty though

[honest trail]

do these tincures only apply to damage with attacks?

[balmy rampart]

good question

[light junco]

ye, including ballistas

but not minions

[balmy rampart]

dam

that sucks

[honest trail]

so if it says 9% increased aoe when you killed recently

[balmy rampart]

but isnt melee lacking vs the other damage types in poe

[honest trail]

it would only be if i kill with weapon?

[balmy rampart]

maybe thats why

[light junco]

is it? boneshatter builds tend to be one of the better leaguestarters

[balmy rampart]

thought i heard a streamer say it maybe not

[light junco]

idk about that one

[rotund surge]

yeah, that will make your minions insanely tanky, thats for sure. Later on you are probably going to use "Fortress Covenant" in a cluster jewel. But in my experience zoomancers are socket starved.

[rotund surge]

melee is absolutely and 100% lacking vs range, boneshatter is the one melee ability that is good enough to play, its the exception for the rule

you can still clear the entire game as melee, but you can do it easier and on less investment as range

[hollow mason]

I actually got what happened, wild one quests - easy to complete, while primals are rarest ones

[hollow mason]

wdym, slams were amazing hahahah

[slate vigil]

Fought an actual affliction boss, dropped a stupid ritual vessel and some garbage rares. Fun

Oops

Should have removed the tagging

[hollow mason]

whatever, they nerfed slams for those ignite DD and srs. reddit won

[slate vigil]

Number of uniques I'm encountering has started ramping up

As of level 55 areas or something

[rotund surge]

its just the inherent problem of melee, it is like every single mob had the proximity shield defensive ability.

[balmy rampart]

u just find afffliction boss randomly while in an affliction tunnel or whatever its called?

[slate vigil]

Yes

[balmy rampart]

ty

[slate vigil]

I just followed the wisp trails and there it was

There is no real pattern here. It just seems like luck + time

And a little bit of skill and build planning

[hollow mason]

well, with old slams you was able to jump into proximity shield and deal with in old-fashioned way. It doesnt matter, since slams unplayable novadays, they just have 0 dam

[balmy rampart]

good to know ty

[rotund surge]

yeah, but if your range, you just cut out the jump and can clear 1,5 screens (or more, with TS as example)

[light junco]

oh god its happening again

WET NOODLE FIGHT

[hollow mason]

well, you think like all maps works like that, while ugs way easier to clear with melee

[rotund surge]

even small maps are easier to clear as range, for example spark

[light junco]

HELL YEAH MY MINIONS WON

I hate life regen

[hollow mason]

its same kind of discussion - whats better to play if you want run fast: frost bomb spell echo or viper strike

[rotund surge]

Im not saying that melee is hot garbage, just that range is strictly better choice in poe 🤷‍♂️

[drifting kraken]

I don't understand the affliction tunnel thing, should i kill stuff or avoid killing stuff?

[slate vigil]

Hmm, I wonder if I should make a suggestion for a unique jewel whos only purpose is to grant the player this effect

[rotund surge]

And I think that most people agree with that take (Boneshatter beeing the exception for melee builds)

[hollow mason]

I played melee for like 8 years, i wouldnt care much if range just better. I would be happy if there would be more than 2 playable skills

boneshatter loses its pace to ignite dd

[light junco]

melee only exists for me in an alt weapon set so I can leap strike around the map while waiting for blink cooldowns if I get lost lmao

[rotund surge]

yeah, its worse then the top range builds, but it is still better then a LOT of other range builds.

[light junco]

which happens a little too often

[hollow mason]

whole issues with melee - nerfed dual-wielding and statsticks causes to rework pool of primary skills and theirs balancing ended with decision just make em pain to play

like molten strike

[fiery sparrow]

can anyone explain to me why people lvl 95+ on poeninja have less than 2k life and no significant energy shield this season

[hollow mason]

i would say slams with cry piano not really had broken dam like srs guardian have

[hollow mason]

sc life

[fiery sparrow]

no im looking at hcssf

[rotund surge]

coc cyclone, perfect melee build

[hollow mason]

no idea, seems like they just farming charms at t1 maps

[fiery sparrow]

what is the cheese?

[hollow mason]

check items, i guess they naked or smth

[slate vigil]

Hmm, is that the detonate dead that doesn't require corpses, or the other kind?

[fiery sparrow]

no they all have gear on

[hollow mason]

Ben had >5k life for sure

when he reached 100

its more how poeninja represents

[fiery sparrow]

yea im wondering what it is they use

that poeninja doesnt know how to calculate

[rotund surge]

you can copy the char into pob

from ninja

[fiery sparrow]

pob doesnt show it either

[slate vigil]

This league introduced methods of taking 99% less chaos damage and block 100% attack (maybe spell?) damage, I think

[fiery sparrow]

some new league tattoo or ascendancy thing im guessing

[hollow mason]

dont look things at poeninja, lmao

propaganda

[fiery sparrow]

thats why im asking here

[rotund surge]

you can always just /w them ingame, I do that often, if I have question about builds

[slate vigil]

I believe people high up tend to private their profile and unequip their gear when they log out

[light junco]

are builds auto uploaded or do you have to add your own into poeninja?

[hollow mason]

i mean, there no need to ask questions to players about 3d-party tools

[slate vigil]

I doubt you have to manually upload it

[fiery sparrow]

you can click on the profile and see the gear they have equipped though

[hollow mason]

hey, poeninja represents your build in wrong way, what you did? LMAO

anyway, i got that divine from rituals, now i could get enough regrets to reroll into dd 😄

sigh

[rotund surge]

No, just ask them: "HI I saw your char on poe.ninja, and did not understand how your defensces work, if you have the time I would be very interested to know how you made your char tanky. Ty."

I mean they could just be spaming t8 maps or something

[fiery sparrow]

no way

is a boneshatter jugg level 90+ with just 1700 hp

[faint ravine]

Both max resistances and max block are hardcapped at 90% what are you talking about

[hollow mason]

Ben spammed t16's with delirium from 97 to 100, so, its just poeninja issue

[fiery sparrow]

without some hidden cheese or something not calculated

[faint ravine]

Taking 99% less Chaos is possible, 100% Block absolutely isnt

[slate vigil]

Max block maybe, but I read something about armor being applied to chaos res

[hollow mason]

there no cheese, thing just getting db incorrectly

[fiery sparrow]

but why tho

[rotund surge]

I mean, its quit clear, nobody here knows the answer 🤷‍♂️ next best place is to directly /w the person, just be friendly about it and dont word it as demand. I dont see the problem

[faint ravine]

It's not applied to Chaos res, it's just applied to Chaos damage hitting you (that's just the fourth vow) but it doesnt Work against Chaos dot so it's nowhere close to taking 99% less chaos

[hollow mason]

because ppl that work on 3d-party tools may just stop supporting theirs product?
Or they just dont care about issues?
Do you know why we got pathofexile/trade site?

[light junco]

oh boy

cant wait to pop this guy

[hollow mason]

because poetrade being stopped supporting

[fiery sparrow]

buT whHY THO

[slate vigil]

I still don't remember what "it" is since I forgot

[faint ravine]

The forth vow is obviously still stupid strong but you seem to have actual no clue and just talking without knowledge

[hollow mason]

wdym, people do that on theirs own. If they want - they support new version, if they dont - they dont

[violet nymph]

Anyone ultimatum farming

[faint ravine]

"It" is armour being applied to chaos hits from the fourth vow, i literally just told you lol

Armour cannot be applied against dots plainly because of how armour works (being dependant on the size of the HIT it applies to)

[slate vigil]

I could have sworn I read something else. Was it really just the fourth vow? Because if that's the case, I must have understood it as if the percentage is being applied on top of the 90% chaos which is wrong

[faint ravine]

It is not

A Chaoshit is being reduced by Chaos resistance, and then by armour if you have the means to apply it to that hit, through the fourth vow

Armour being naturally strong against small hits makes it incredible when applied to hits otherwise reduced beforehand

[slate vigil]

Umm, if you have 30k armor, do you take 30k less chaos damage then? If so, does that apply before or after chaos res calculation? Based on what you just wrote, it would apply after. So... shouldn't you theoretically be able to take 0-1 damage from a chaos hit?

[vocal hamlet]

Anyone else still getting random disconnects like crazy? I didnt have a single issue until today. Those patches didnt seem to do squat for the disconnects

[rotund surge]

I randomly get extrem freezes in a entire zone

[faint ravine]

Not unsimilar to transcendance for elemental Hits btw

[slate vigil]

This would technically mean that for those specific hits, you would have 100% chaos res while for higher hits... like umm, 300k+ hits you would have 99% chaos res against those hits with nothing happening to chaos dots

[faint ravine]

That is absolutely not how armour works and only confirms my suspicion that you actually dont know mechanics and are just making up how you think they work in your head

[slate vigil]

Weird way of looking at it but I'm not gonna try to be super accurate about this

[slate vigil]

Can you stop being rude for 5 minutes and stop assuming every little thing about me?

[faint ravine]

Like, thinking that 1 Armour=1 flat physical damage reduction is SO far away from what it does, how did you even get there?

[light junco]

literally half this discussion is him asking questions about how it works and you being rude about it, chill

[faint ravine]

And the other half is him stating things blatantly wrong though

[arctic cargo]

how is invitation farming this league??

[slate vigil]

Just proves that having 5300+ hours in a game doesn't suddenly make you a super genius huh

[light junco]

and that makes your behavior ok?

[faint ravine]

People stating wrong things as facts deserve to be called out, yes.

And i did start explaining things which got met by "but i saw that differently", instead of, yknow, maybe like check things before stating them as fact again

[slate vigil]

First I explored the idea that 90% + 90% armor = 99% which was apparently wrong. Then I went with the flat armor value of say 30k = 30k less damage taken which was also wrong. Clearly it's not my fault I don't understand GGG's wording

[faint ravine]

So yeah, i think it makes my behaviour okay, especially considering i did do the explaining part too

[slate vigil]

You say that, but I felt directly attacked for being stupid twice

I simply overlooked that you had already mentioned the name of the unique, blanking on that part completely

[faint ravine]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour if you want to learn how armour works 🙂

[slate vigil]

As a result, you bereted me and said you had already said it

[slate vigil]

Tldr no thanks

partially illiterate

[rotund surge]

is that a self burn?

[slate vigil]

Yes?

It wasn't a burn

[rotund surge]

well, we all know that it can be difficult to communicated just using text massages, meaning gets lost and we interpret statements different from what the person writing intended. It happens.

[faint ravine]

If you're not willing to read how things work, that's absolutely fine....
But please refrain from making seemingly factual statements that others might actually believe then (like saying there's an easy way to get 99% Chaos dmg reduction, or that 100% Block/spellblock is possible)

[light junco]

@rotund surge this reads exactly how it was intended to be read, wdym

[rotund surge]

Aint 100% block possible with glancing blows? Or do I remember wrong?

[slate vigil]

got a buff like that but no penality to xp and both numbers were 200%

[balmy moss]

what a wild league

[cerulean mango]

anyone knows if I can accept multiple acendencies for the affliction npc or only one can be chosen our of the 3?

[slate vigil]

People who get this upset by someone casually telling others how they think things work, kinda cringe. If people read what I say and take it as 1000% factual and undisputable and you don't need any other source of information, then that's their own fault and they need to get their heads checked

[rotund surge]

🤷‍♂️ we don't know, if the person writing it, did not perceive that statement to be as "aggressive". But I honestly don't want to get into this guessing game

[balmy moss]

well...

[light junco]

oof

[faint ravine]

You remember wrong, maxblock is hardcapped at 90%, also GB does not affect you maxblock chance

[slate vigil]

Find maji npc, pick maji class, get 2 points, put points in. To refund point, use respec points. To switch class, find another npc, choose that npcs class, this switches your class but does not cost anything if I'm not mistaken

[balmy moss]

ran around the rooms, to the other side, more mosters spawned on the altar. not the map for this 😄

[cerulean mango]

so does it mean at any point of time, there can only be one chosen acendency?

[sonic stirrup]

It didn't use to be capped, last time I checked you could transcend 90%, and now I'm pretty sure you can reach 100%

[slate vigil]

Yes, but you can easily switch between them by finding the npc again (which I guess isn't very easy after all)

[rotund surge]

Okay 👍 its a long time ago, was there ever a way to get 100% block like around bestiary? I played a blocking char back then, but can*t remember

[sonic stirrup]

Glancing blows does not affect the cap. I believe you can hit 100% block this league with charms, and all other previous sources of it

[slate vigil]

Hmm, you can have 1 affliction ascendency and one class ascendency, so technically 2 ascendencies can be chosen at a time, but only 1 affliction at a time

[rotund surge]

but before now you could never reach 100% (unrelated to Glancing blows)?

[sonic stirrup]

Correct

Which is why it hasn't been capped

[cerulean mango]

awesome! Thanks for the valuable info man! I almost chose the wrong one LOL

[sonic stirrup]

I expect a max block cap to exist next league

[slate vigil]

Each class can gain up to 8 points and it's all independent. So if you want to switch class at some point, you have to complete their quests, or at least that's what was said by the devs I think

[rotund surge]

Im (probably) going to remember this conversation, and then ask at the start of the next leauge, if there is a max block cap 😄

[sonic stirrup]

lol

If they add one it'll probably be in the patch notes

[rotund surge]

Im not reading patch notes, I stoped doing that 4-5 leagues ago

[cerulean mango]

luckily i chose the primal one first. otherwise imma regret it LOL

[rotund surge]

the more time I have in poe, the less ambitions I have and the more I want to do stuff on a shoestring investment with a barely functioning char.

[slate vigil]

Primal is the endgame, maji is the early game

[faint ravine]

Huh, i stand corrected, there actually seems to not be a maxblock cap, just that it wasnt possible to reach higher before Primalist charms

That's both curious and terrifying

Terrifying as in that might actually get midleague nerfed

[balmy moss]

🙂

[slate vigil]

And here you were, so convinced I was wrong...

[faint ravine]

True Immortality to things is one of the things GGG REALLY does not like at all outside standard

[slate vigil]

Of course they wouldn't

[faint ravine]

Yup, absolutely my bad and i apologize wholeheartedly

[balmy moss]

speaking of which, I've already seen 3 invul shrines by level 75

[latent parcel]

Is there a easy way to know if you have the right amount?

[slate vigil]

Don't overdo it

[rotund surge]

@sonic stirrup btw, we talked about it, for wander leaugestarter. You know Goratha made a wander (functional) leaguestarter with elemental hit. He has his experience uploaded on youtube.

[sonic stirrup]

I don't know that

Because I basically actively avoid watching poe youtube content

[rotund surge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfhSvvXUtlU

[faint ravine]

Nah, i was wrong and in the way that i attacked you for, gotta own that shit

[sonic stirrup]

I like just trying to figure out the way on my own

[faint ravine]

I fucked up, that's the long and short of it

[sonic stirrup]

atm I pivoted to running pathfinder instead of occultist just to see what the new voicelines are like

and felt forced to level with bow skills for the time being

since most nodes near ranger start are bow specific

or not otherwise usable

and since I'm planning on going phys to chaos

[rotund surge]

Doing crit spark inquisitor, because in my 3k playtime, i never played a templar

[sonic stirrup]

and I really wanted to try a trans skill

so I'm not interested in elemental hit

I'll be running trans kinetic bolt, as soon as it seems like it won't tank my dps too much to pivot xd

[slate vigil]

Now that I think about it, I swear I've seen over 90% block chance at some point, but that memory is so foggy that I don't remember the details. Must be a standard legacy gear thing tho

[faint ravine]

True if there never was a cap there's bound to be some whacko legacy stuff that broke 90% before

With block and spellblock uniques having been reworked that one patch

[dreamy raven]

whats the better way to get betrayel bcoz foothills i reset like 50 time but no luck

[faint ravine]

You can just specc into betrayal plus jun missions on the atlastree to start with and map if you dont need something specific to start mapping and dont mind respeccing later/spending early points right side atlas tree i guess

[tulip python]

Do tinctures apply for SRS builds? Some mods on them use "hit" specifically so those dont but some also just have such generic wording "Damage penetrates x resistance"

[wanton frost]

how to find king of mists? just rng?

[tulip python]

Sems just RNG, i found him but it wasnt his "fortress" or whatever its called and the quest didnt complete

[high fossil]

No. Tinctures apply to your weapons, and minions don't have your weapon. They do their own thing.

[gleaming cliff]

Animate weapon?

[high fossil]

In general, no. But now you've got me wondering about the animate weapon of reflection, or whatever its called...
But i'm still pretty sure that the base of the games coding says that minions don't use your weapon, or your skills, or your offensive stats, no matter what they may be copying when summoned.

[gleaming cliff]

Well it still gives some buffs (the maji ascendancy)

[static token]

Anyone know if the lab font transfig craft requires a skill gem or any gem? Can I put in a 20/20 support and get a 20/20 skill?

[jaunty kite]

What's the best ascendancy for the affliction?

[zenith trellis]

ok how do you spawn the vendors?

whats the trick?

just ran like 50 wildwoods in A2

nothin

[static token]

Don't be in A2.

[zenith trellis]

heard like 80 people say you et them in A2

[static token]

But none of those 80 people told you the trick?

[zenith trellis]

nope

[reef girder]

you start finding them in A2, but they get to be more common in later level areas

[zenith trellis]

follow the lihts

not workin

[reef girder]

I didn't find any until the end of act 3

[zenith trellis]

clearly

[grim anvil]

I think I have found the most busted tincture mechanic

[vale lintel]

Hi, question. This affixes works only on hits with weapons? (culling strike and % dmg)

[arctic cargo]

should i do LA or CF?

[prime moth]

Does anyone else have unbearably long load times? I have the game installed on an NVME

[jaunty kite]

How can i get ascendancy points for Affliction ascendancy?

[visual kite]

Nice lil sub and im ready for my gaming sesh tn.

[prime moth]

Find one of the wanderers and choose your ascendancy

[high fossil]

Yes, tinctures are applied to your weapons and will only impact weapon damage (i.e. most attack skills)

[high fossil]

To get more points after you've chosen your ascendancy, find the nocs again and they will eventually give you quests to progress

[ocean spoke]

Why does GGG only allow "Propagate Weapon Effect To Off-Hand" for shit ass effects and the expensive one won't let u propagate? 🤨

This is a shame to force us to purchase those "40$" USD effect twice without mentioning it while on the otherside the low-value effect can be propagated to the Off-Hand 🤦‍♂️

[obsidian pelican]

the new skill gems are lit

[midnight shuttle]

Hello got a question where is the new packs for this leauge?
are they not releasing them?

[obsidian pelican]

https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase

[midnight shuttle]

yea but it says core supporter packs

shouldnt say afflication?

like last league

[topaz lance]

at the bottom of the page still has trial of the ancestor packs

[obsidian pelican]

I'm debating getting the Kalguuran one purely because the crafting bench is so cool

[high fossil]

They're trying something different, cooler core packs and continuing the previous league packs

[midnight shuttle]

ahhh okay

hmmm

alright thanks for that

[gentle kayak]

Does Light Arrow eventually go into TS or what? in yellow maps and my single target with LA is kinda gettign bad

[torpid badger]

Uh

[arctic cargo]

what would be better for leaguestart/budget toxic rain or LA/TS?

[still surge]

i hope they add charms to be searchable by trademacros

[opal raptor]

is running the merciless lab worth it for getting transfigured gems? or do you need to be on uber to have access to the full pool?

[still surge]

as far i know it doesent matter where you run

at least i got my transfigured ice spear in normal lab already

[prime moth]

If the pool hasnt already been shared you will need to wait for the nerds to figure it out, but a friend is farming the first lab and making bank already, made 120c in about 5 runs

[strange vector]

Yo, how this chieftan eth_chieftangarf hitting level 100 on SSF with 300k dps, beating everyone on SSF to level 100 and he wasn't even level 50 on day 1?

Probably some group play shenanigans

Oh wait, SSF

Hmm. Yea that’s a strange one. Maybe their account was private to hide their progress?

[solemn iris]

[sonic stirrup]

Yeah

Can't really do much

[solemn iris]

very cool

[sonic stirrup]

Could maybe try changing renderer or reinstalling, but honestly don't expect those to help

[solemn iris]

i'll jus go sleep and hope they fix

[sonic stirrup]

Sleep always gud

[old perch]

is there a way to get nameless seer or king of the mists to spawn? I'm running desecrated chambers and ive done easily 50+ instances with neither

[slow isle]

i killed the mist king, now what?

[old perch]

ok so im at the quest step of "search for the king in the mists stronghold" but I just killed him, is there a random encounter that spawns a stronghold? also, i still havent found a nameless seer is an hour of searching

[opal raptor]

is there a trick to get the transfigured gem you want? Been trying to google and the amount of RMT sites disguised as "guides" really make it rough

[sonic stirrup]

Play higher tier lab, or spend about 1 Chaos trading for it

The trans gem system got added only like 2.5 days ago

So we don't have much info

[opal raptor]

I've been running ubers and merciless for the last 2 hours, it just seems like there has to be a way to target or your just spinning an RNG wheel

[sonic stirrup]

Aside from that you can't really do much other than just play higher tier lab for better odds

Are you ssf?

[opal raptor]

not officially, but trying to push as far as possible without trading

[sonic stirrup]

I see

Some gems might have lower odds

Out of curiosity, which one are you fishing for?

Also, I got the impression that there would be some roll that'd let you just trans a specific gem into its own trans variant(s), but I've yet to check if that actually ended up existing

But it would probably be rare even if it does exist

[dreamy raven]

Guys I did the mistake of leveling and now I cant find june mission on foothills, any other map which gives then apart from map device. my level is 75

[sonic stirrup]

Why would you farm Jun in foothills

This isn't 3.20 or whatever

You can't force coinflip diadem

[dreamy raven]

idk zizaran said you can?

[sonic stirrup]

How long ago

[dreamy raven]

so we can do zone reset and spawn it

[dreamy raven]

in the latest video of his 12 tricks

and tips

[sonic stirrup]

For what purpose

[dreamy raven]

to get craft

[sonic stirrup]

Eh

[dreamy raven]

and other things

[sonic stirrup]

Which craft are you even trying to get then

[dreamy raven]

the trigger

[sonic stirrup]

I see

[dreamy raven]

not sure exact name

[sonic stirrup]

There's two

On spell use in weapon, or focus in helmet

[dreamy raven]

spell use one

[sonic stirrup]

Anyways, it most definitely isn't worth the effort

[opal raptor]

want that lightning arrow of elctrocution that sicks in enemies and calls lightning. sounds like it could be super fun for clears

[sonic stirrup]

Just play forwards

[dreamy raven]

hmm so I can just farm in the map only now right

[sonic stirrup]

Yes

And it genuinely isn't worth it to grind foothills just for a craft anyways

There was some argument for it when you could cheese diadem coinflip

But that's not a thing

Now

[sonic stirrup]

Considering more than 200 for sale atm it doesn't seem like it's particularly rare, in fact, searching some random gems, it had more listings than the other 3 together

[sonic stirrup]

And if you want to make it faster you can just invest in it a little

Of course, if you're ssf and quickly need a specific recipe, sure

But like, eh

If you're just looking for trigger weapon mod fast, just buy a couple Veiled rares from others

[opal raptor]

that's part of why I thought there had to be a way to target farm and I was doing something dumb

[sonic stirrup]

Well

Could also just be that people know LA is popular so they assume trans LA has a higher chance to be valuable and pick it when they see it randomly

[desert dust]

what is this new inventory space that Pohx is using in the video?

[sonic stirrup]

Most characters probably use like 0-1 trans gems and generates like 6 or so on average

[sonic stirrup]

From one of the new side ascendancies from the affliction mechanic

[dreamy pelican]

Anyone knows if the new corpses can be added to the desecrate pool for using a specter?

[sonic stirrup]

Yes. No.

[desert dust]

I see, can you put anything in it or there are restrictions

[sonic stirrup]

Dunno

[opal raptor]

none that I noticed so far, been playing with it since league launch

[stuck copper]

Has anyone managed to track down how much the wisps affect the drops?
it appears that when you get past 3k wisps the rewards gets noticeably better.

[opal raptor]

there's a craft in merc/uber lab that lets you do a transfigured gem of the type you put in, finally got it

[sonic stirrup]

gg

[red storm]

guys question ... if i want to respec behind the " affection" ......... how do i do that?!

[tawdry plover]

Click the little arrow coming off the int/dex/str wheel in middle

[empty geyser]

How do you gain more passive points in the new affection tree

[red storm]

Ohhh thanks u

[tawdry plover]

When u encountered the npc and chose an ascendancy you were given quests to finish inside the mechanic

[lavish granite]

how to level wildwood? how to get more points to spend?

[wooden palm]

The npcs give u quests for example for the warlock i need to kill 500 of 1 enemy type

[unkempt pecan]

Do you think they're going to do a visual pass on the wisps anytime soon? The mechanic is actually borderline unplayable.

[white dawn]

Is there a warlock or guy to talk to in every tunnel? I swear I’m never finding any of them

[maiden mural]

I think not in every tunnel, but i once found the same guy twice in one tunnel😄

[white dawn]

Yea I want to find a different guy but I usually only find them one out of every 8 tunnels

[maiden mural]

i swear, am i losing it or is there always supposed to be a massive blue orb in the tunnel orbiting me?

[tawdry plover]

Not normal, I've had it 1 or 2 times

[balmy moss]

does level stay when switching into a trans gem, or would a lv20 gem become lv1 trans gem?

[slow isle]

i have killed 500 nameless, and for that last 50 or so forests no primalist

[upbeat hornet]

do affliction tps only spawn on certain maps? was trying to get them to spawn on lower maps to make it easier but dont seem to spawn like they do on act 9 for me.

[tawdry plover]

Every area should have one near the start unless you're significantly overleveled in the campaign

[balmy moss]

here we go, that's the double empowered uber essence I was looking for

[gentle cedar]

hi, from what act can I start finding masters in the forests to pick up their ascendancy?

[quasi warren]

Someone said act 2, it might be easier to find them later

Is the bleed tincture good?

[alpine sierra]

Archnemesis 2.0 vomit

[lunar yacht]

This mob is literally as strong as uber exarch

Wait nvm. It has ambush. It's stronger

[dreamy raven]

so guys so far which builds proved to be best for this league?

[dusky cedar]

ゴゴゴゴ M E N A C I N G ゴゴゴゴ

[winged wedge]

WW mobs and Wispy mobs are all rippy as fuck. you need a tanky build that can do damage at a safe distance. Minions, totems, bows, tanky melee builds

[cloud ice]

This is the final boss of poe

[winged wedge]

And your reward is a small mountain of rares and 4x alchs

[cloud ice]

2 essences

[uneven silo]

And abuse aurabot spectre as non summoner build

[slow isle]

how do i find the crow?

[slate vigil]

Vivid is a trap, barely does shit, what's even the point of vivid wisp empowering when it doesn't do anything!? Suppose to grant currency but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it

0 currency drops from single stacked unique bosses

Must be like 25% more currency or some bs like that. Does absolutely nothing

[neat panther]

best shrine in league mechanic ever

[slate vigil]

Like triples how difficult the monster is and you get barely anything in return

[slate vigil]

I got a 200%/200% with no experience penality in affliction. Lasted 5 minutes tho, not a permanent buff

[balmy imp]

Lmao, perfect naval officers wave attack is screen covering as a spectre

[slate vigil]

Double stacked lv 64 rotting core Maligaro, one of them was most likely vivid. 0 currency drops

This must be a lie. Vivid is a lie, what is even going on

[toxic olive]

from what ive seen

you need like at least 5k wisps in order to actually see differences in drops

[slate vigil]

Minion builds or builds that make a lot of taunting hp bars reine supreme this league

(especially sentinel of radiance)

[slate vigil]

Great...

99.9% of the time, you will never see that many in acts

[toxic olive]

also you are comparing it withing act drops that already dont have much currency drops to begin with

[slate vigil]

Balance issues

[toxic olive]

league mechanics are never balanced to acts

its either they are useless in acts or op

because you can just farm low lvl act zone to get set rewards

[slate vigil]

Bruh

And it's dead

Well ok

Notice how there is only 3 scrolls of wisdoms there and bunch of rares and uniques

This is what I'm talking about. Vivid wisps are not balanced properly, or it's because people want vivids that they are intentionally made bad in acts

Either way, this is still extremely bad. Like at least give me something better than wisdoms that I no longer need that many of

[tall merlin]

is anyone else having problems with latency randomly spiking into oblivion and dc-ing every 10-20 minutes?

[slate vigil]

Yes and I had ever since I got this pc while playing this game. I just think it's my pcs fault

[tall merlin]

it started this league for me, and only happens in poe

[slate vigil]

It's happned a couple times, but there is no real pattern compared to previous leagues, so our problems are probably different

[static dove]

do we know what primal empower actually does?

does it give leech to mobs?

[slate vigil]

I just think all 3 buffs hp, energy shield and damage

Could be more complex I guess

[static dove]

ok why is museum boss healing to full?

it has martyrs grip+primal empower

oh its the conc ground

[slate vigil]

Triple empowered act bosses have a super high chance to just not drop magic and normal items. But a high chance to not give proper currency drops. Clearly I'm not the insane one here for seeing this pattern

[solemn iris]

ah they still didn't fix ravaged square, guess i'll keep waiting so i can play the league

[tawdry plover]

What is wrong for you ?

[solemn iris]

force crashes the game if i try to load it

[tawdry plover]

Thats odd, I'm not quite home yet but if you want ill pm you and try opening my own instance and letting you inside. That's worked for others before but not usually force crashes I've seen

[solemn iris]

already tried it w someone in my town, doesn't work. tried new instance, tried different shader, reinstalled, diff pc

[tawdry plover]

Crazy unfortunate, do hope they fix it soon then 😦

[solemn iris]

yes it would be very cool if i could not be stuck in a10 forever

[upbeat hornet]

what makes a creature nameless ?

trying to get this done faster lol

[ember valley]

Does anyone know how to swap wildwood ascendancy? I cant seem to refund the first 2 i did?

[red wharf]

how do you kill Incarnation of agony? Seems she disabled regen and instant leech mastery and it was impossible to run away with her teleporting all way

[plucky jewel]

How long did it take you to get 4000 wisps? Are they just any? How do I identify them?

[slate vigil]

My first impression of that, would be any bland and regular normal, magic and rare monster. Anything basically named after it's species I would think

[toxic olive]

their name is literally "Nameless X" with X meaning animal name

[toxic olive]

It took me like few acts to get all wisps and I got the master herself in 1st map

[plucky jewel]

Is it specific wisps that need to be rescued? My question has something to do with treats

Treants*

[vocal nexus]

you need to collect the color for which you want to get the ascendancy (yellow for maji). ANd I got it in act 4.

[toxic olive]

you need to get vivd (yellow) wisps by killing treants

[plucky jewel]

I see. And treants are in every wildwood?

[toxic olive]

sometimes you can find a big opened area by following yellow wisps which has a shit ton of treants that contain them

you get like 1k-1.5k wisps in act by doing so

[slow isle]

where is the crow? do i have to beat campaign for him to spawn?

[upbeat hornet]

Thanks lol guess i just never looked at the right time. lmfao takes so damn long

[craggy ice]

What damage type is most common in the forest?

[slate vigil]

Garbage

[unkempt pecan]

Is there any way to get more of a certain type of wisp?

i.e. increase your chances of getting it or something. (Aside from the skill tree.)

[slate vigil]

the ascendencies are the only way as far as I know

[hidden escarp]

do all transfigured gems have same rate from lab?

[unkempt pecan]

Just happened for the first time since starting the league. It's like I disconnected. Latency goes up to 20k, then kicks me out.

[wide frigate]

anyone else having problems with neversink item filter

[devout osprey]

yes

its not a only-you thing

[steady gale]

Yes

Its not a only-you thing

[balmy imp]

well this league mechanic is insane. Just lost a 3 div spectre to a 1shot, random T16 map

[violet nymph]

Minions in 2024 🤣

[balmy imp]

yup..

[sick wagon]

Condolences.

[tall merlin]

Yeah it sucks, cant really play the game at all. Tried reinstalling and its still happening

[still surge]

is there any way to force the right vendor to be in or is everything just pure stupid random?

72 maps completed and everytime i go down. and the right vendor was in like 5 of them (if even)

[balmy moss]

bro it's a white mob in a lv72 area

drops from 2 triple empowered abyss rares

[violet nymph]

i havent done the league mechanic a single time, Im such a genius

literally never do any league mechanic until full atlas and it always pays off

[unkempt pecan]

BTW, in-game tooltips say that Primal is currency, not Vivid. Not sure where that image comes from.

[balmy moss]

it's faster progression, sure. because it juices up rares really hard. but look at this

[balmy moss]

what problems?

[silver rover]

After the update I think it messed a few things up but easy fix, I no pohx had a few problems but he fixed them in like 5min

[slow isle]

The incarnation of agony, WTF?

[rustic dew]

Can you find the king of the mist at any map tier level? or is there a minimum tier

With the stronghold for the final quest I mean.

[balmy moss]

from what I hear, you can find him at lower levels. I fought him at ~70. But he only gives the skill points at 81+

not sure if it's exactly 81+ or around that

[rustic dew]

Yeah I have found him before but not at the stronghold, was trying to farm him in white maps because the mechanic is a bit overtuned

so back to T14 then I guess, cheers.

[cursive pier]

I got my first divine orb this league in Act4, and then a voidborn key as I walked out of Act8. Might have to retire early, as that's all my luck probably used already. :P

[faint ravine]

Not getting your first ascendancy points which you can as early as act 2 easily is definitely the polar opposite of genius

[austere whale]

blue wisps seem so fucking rare

😦

[finite gust]

Any known crash-issue connected to heist? crashed about 5-6 times on my way to the contraband and again on my way out. Didnt really carry anything of worth but Im sure as hell aint gonna continue if theres anything known. Losing a div or something for a casual like me at this stage would probably make me quit the league lol

[faint ravine]

They're mostly just fucking hard to see compared to the yellow and purple ones

So you miss their trail more often

[sick glacier]

are the wildwood bosses correlated to a color of whisp? if so, which one is the tree trio?

[faint ravine]

If they were bright red it would solve so much

[craggy ice]

Why do blue whisped mobs have more hp thaen map bosses?

[dusky cedar]

Yo, is it true that you can farm ascendancy points bar the last two ones in lower level act zones like quarry?

[late forge]

info in how the new ascendancy interact online? like a deep dive forum post or something

[still surge]

i dont get the point of this leaguemechanic, is there anything you can controll or influence in this holes or is everything just pure luck and random in there?

[amber loom]

Is there a best league starter or not really? I always go with marauder so I’m trying out something different

[dusky cedar]

BONE ZONE

(boneshatter is a very strong skill and you can play as a marauder)

You should watch a guide though because I think you don't do leveling with it

[dreamy portal]

Hands up who has found this fucking black morrigan

[still surge]

idk i dont like this mechanic at all, let us at least see the outline of the area and the npcs, it is so frustrating

lvl89 and still not done with the quests -.-

[faint ravine]

Ziz vid shows act 10 chamber of innocence (or whatever it's called) works independant of character level, including bosses (so even last ascendancy points should be findable, though possibly at significantly lower weighting compared to high tier Maps)

[upbeat hornet]

Its just random finding her in the affliction right ?

[still surge]

sadly yes

[upbeat hornet]

💔 annoying lol

[still surge]

oh yes very bad

[dusky cedar]

Thanks mate, very helpful

[still surge]

i mean who thought it is fun to run through a random generated black map where everything is pure luck and you are blind -.-

[slate vigil]

I have turned into the sun and you can't stop me

[faint ravine]

Too many years of League make me immediately read this purely sarcastically

[marble stream]

is this normal? he ran outside of the arena and now he is stuck. doesnt loose more life than shown here
King of the mist

[shrewd osprey]

When you take a acendency do you loose the abitlity to track it?

SInce taking primalist its impossible to find the blue spirits. I only ever see yellow or purple!

[slate vigil]

I guarantee you, you have ran into lots and lots of primal wisps. You have only fallen victim to GGG's sense of color design

[upbeat hornet]

lol about how i feel looking for this right now tbh ive ran probably a 100 and havent seen them but my luck ill find them lag and die hahah

[shrewd osprey]

I see I collect like 40 in the bottom right compared to 1k/500 of the other two but they seem mosly mixed into the yellow/purple paths.
Guess I'm just being blind then

[slate vigil]

A streamer said that they aren't colorblind, but the primal wisps make them feel colorblind because they can't see them

[shrewd osprey]

oh wow OK dam!

[slate vigil]

I can see them, but it's subtle. Purple and yellow wisps I can see floating around randomly, but I have to see big chunks in order to see the primal wisps

Purple yellow: Can see small patches. Can see big patches.
Blue: cannot see small patches. Can see big patches.

That applies to me basically

[shrewd osprey]

I see teh big blue orbs that expand a small area but thats mostly it

[slate vigil]

Yeah. Once you see the big patches, you just follow those. Make sure brightness and quality settings are good and sit up right

I am always on ultra, not sure if there is a difference tho

Maybe I am at a disadvantage or an advantage, hard to tell
