oh, noice
enhance finally viable?
how do you alternate quality a gem?
it drops that way
it drops from heist and gheist
Umm
Hexblast says all damage applies the ailments
Don't even need stormfire to do archmage ignite with it
I doubt any will be worth a fortune unless they level it to 21 and stuff but the base cost will be in some cases likely a sum of Chaos
you'd need to use gcp to get to 20% qual
they won't always come at 20%
so gcp might be valuable lol
unlikely
anyway there are about 23847298345723 meme builds i need to try
voltaxic spark and inverse flameblast being the big ones
maybe poison flameblast
How does one obtain alternate quality gems?
grand heists
i recall when Voltaxic spark was a real build 😛
then GGG took a hammer to Voltaxic and it languished forever more in darkness
i like that you get to choose between, what is it, 5 different alt qual gems in the gem room?
same with replica uniques and experimented base types i think
would be nice if heist is leveling friendly
back in legion i got 4 leveling uniques in act 3
it was great
has ggg said anything about how much ES drain frost shield does?
Can bane apply Marks?
Thanks a bunch
can u get multiple alternatives for a gem? Or is it only 1 per gem
2-3
Is spell echo + crackling lance work? I mean, 2 intensity charge or just count as 1
just 1
sad
if you have enough cast speed it will still be worth it though
but it woukldn't be good to pair it with archmage
@devout osprey i can get 2-3 extra stats on my gems?
(unless you use 2 gems with different qual?)
y right but it would work?
yes
then i hope there is a gem with 2 good qualities
but then you give up a gem slot for a 2nd lets say arc
from arc- support - support - support -support - support
to arc- arc - support - support -support - support
yeah, not that much into poe to tell if it could be useful. but would be nice if enhance support had a use
maybe there is a case
I have used it on portal gem and heralds
Big question guys - Reave alternate quality gives +2 stages - will that work with valled version or not?
If not it's useless
Big question guys - Reave alternate quality gives +2 stages - will that work with valled version or not?
@clear gust that was asked already; i'd argue: what happens if you vaal an alternate gem? it should retain the quality i hope...
Ther thing is, there was info it will retain
the*
so probably it will be still max 8 on valled one
vaaled*
Vaal Reave grants 4 stacks, then hits to gain 4 more, so alternate Vaal Reave would just let me have 6 stacks without using vaal version
It won't add on top of max i think ;/
i see. not sure... does quality affect the vaal version in general? i'd guess but not sure
well then that's your answer
Still, alternate quality reave would be inferior to vaal reave
that is quite common among vaal versions
Being better than alternate quality gems?
being better than the base non-vaal skill
Uh, You know vaal reave only lets You add more stages to use with non-vaal skill?
nope, i play caster or bow mostly
Basically gives You few attacks in a fast succesion but its trash
Every attack with reave gives you 1 stage. Vaal version gives you 4 instant and possibility to get 4 more since 4 is max for base
still you obviously won't get that. and some of the alt's make the gem worse for me anyway
it retains it ffor base
if You keep fighting
Best thing - one of the first reveals showed reave with alternate quality giving 100% conversion to a random element
you vaal the gem
and use vaal version to get stages
You are dead to phys reflect xD
Reave gains 50% more aoe per stage
+2 max stage reave might be nice
well yeah the quality doesn't do that for vaal reave
you wouldn't be using vaal reave anyway
so you end up with +2 stages on the normal, which u use anyway
you'd have to be very lucky to get that corruption
you don't understand
but not alt qual
Whats the use of +2 stages if vaal is +4?
the main point is that they drop only from heist
because vaal reave can only be used an amount of times per map?
for the whole map? lol
stages used doesnt disappear for base skill
stages gained*
using base reave reset the duration for ALL stacks
as long as you hit something you dont lose 8 stacks from vaal
reave
thats the point
i use vaal reave 2 times per map at most
hit every 3s, yep
Problem with reave is you can't stop
its 3 sec...
so you just don't pick up items lol
umm i do?
is there a lot of items to pick up? lol
even picking up alterations or transmutes after legion or any other event you end up with 2 uses of vaal reave
charged
just a question of the synergy, in a frostbolt totem build
Now that's... peculiar
Totem is the 'you' in this case
fine, means they just return to totem in both
I am debating making a summoner, have we been able to tell from the videos if that will be unplayable in heists?
minions are not sneaky
Careful minions might be fine
Something like dropping a couple skeletons at the edge of your screen
yeah I am just cautious because I have played summoner before and there are occasional things that are a pain to do with them
but so far I haven't seen a whole league mechanic that would be a problem
Well
Killing enemies raises the alarm
And you'd most likely want to kill less to get more loot chests
Short aggro range minions that you can convoke when needed sounds like the best solution
Meatshield chains of command sounds fun 
I assume people will complain about the killing - raising alarm thing to the point it gets removed in a couple weeks 
will necro ruin the alert level with minions killing stuff?
you guys think spawning totems and the old ones going away counts as death?
It does for soul mantle
New totems are new totems 
you know what, i'm actually okay with giving up a gem slot for permanent 10% movespeed
Just link enhance and now you get 24% MS for 2 sockets.
thats not permanent
Infecting is when you're draining it
That's permanent 10% reduced chaos taken tho
And that's neat
Any1 know if the new poachers mark flat phys will apply to the base for bleeds on hits?
yes
frostbolts have no final target
they pierce all targets
so no return im guessing
unless you can do something that makes it stop piercing
that could be stronk
Snakepit ring can stop it from piercing
If you want to prevent Piercing, then Kineticism can do that while giving you bleeds and maims https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kineticism
that node doesn't effect spells at all, outside of stopping pierce, fork and chain
I didn't look at what skill was being talked about, only that people were mentioning preventing piercing
kineticism prevents fork
buyt i was thinking about it for shattering steel @sharp iron
so?
So are you thinking about running a Shattering Steel build of the league, Bluey?
As usual on reddit, different people claiming their guess is the correct answer... anyone here actually have knowledge and a source regarding whether the Toxic Rain alt gem "20% reduced buff effect" impacts just the -10% movement speed, or also the DoT??
*debuff effect, sorry
it also affects the DoT @rare rose
Heist gonna be fantastic right?
can totems gain charges
i assume with so many options available the alternate quality gems will start dropping in heists at level 1, yes?
same for replica uniques?
no reason they wouldn't?
yes
if you have flame dash totem with second wind and spell totem, you can cast the totem 4 times before having to wait for the cd as expected, but each totem will also be able to cast flame dash 4 times before having to wait for its own cd
what's the use of this
Meme, or extra ms from the sandstorm while in blood, or extra dps from blood while mqintaining sand
But mostly meme
they gave frenzy an alternate quality that gives +1 strike target
so i wrote a hollow palm melee raider frenzy build
and it's good ???
4m dps on budget gear (besides the jewel) lol
and i'll be using punishment for sick clear
maybe i'll write a build guide for this one, it's really fucking easy to make once you have any currency at all
is the anoint ancestral dude only for weapons?
nope
just "strike skills target 1 additional enemy"
it's also not an anoint anymore
it's not anoint only*
lol i just took that build from 4m to 5m dps just by messing with the tree a bit
still has 4k life, 200% movespeed, and 95% evade chance
oh and it has fortify lul
4k life monkaS
SC high avoidance build my dude
it will survive most shit
fortify and steelskin help a bit as well
5.5k is like the minimum to avoid common random one shots in maps
i'll definitely write a guide for this after i play it
To solve squishiness, kintsugi and wind dancer
because wildwrap gives too much damage
and i want this build to stay around 5m dps
no less
Ehhh... can t craft better with influence?
sure, but i also want this to be omega budget
i only write builds that can get to endgame on a budget
For a starter or a mid league?
mid league
since delirium is a zana mod this league hollow palm should be a reasonable price
How much is your scope of reasonable budget?
that and the 6l wildwrap should be the most expensive items for the build
<5ex
total
don't need 20/20 gems
just level 20
so self leveled
it's a build you can start from level 1
as long as you have the jewel
anyway i'm keeping the build at 5m dps mostly because i want to say 10 for damage when i put the build in #build-guides eventually lol
Build is a bit soft on defense imo. But you do you

can't wait to play it 😛
it has wind dancer now
so wind dancer + fortify should make it pretty defensive even at 4k life
something important to take note of is that it requires this alt quality to feel good while clearing
so hopefully it won't be too expensive lol
the only reason i made the build is because i saw that alt quality
Alt quality gems might be a big deal. That said you can... can you frost blades while unarmed?
I would say that last one, damage with ailments would be great. Poison frenzy could be spicy
What's the going odds on heist going core?
the alt quality gems will probably return in some way
there's no way they'd cut that after this league
99%
Depends
If it's not well received, it'll be delayed
Most likely it's testing proof of concept for poe2 and the individual parts are already in the game
Looks like Incursion Rev3 mixed with Betrayal rev2
Heist has a higher chance than most leagues of not going core
GGG might not want too many parallel progression systems
Heists might be judged to be not different enough from maps
Same reasoning as synthesis not going core
Well, that and the fact that synthesis was the worst modern league
Also I just remembered the fact that the intensify node exists and will probably be mandatory for crackling lance builds
With that, crackling lance + intensify gives the spell a 2.2 * 1.66 damage multiplier
Which blows arc out of the water
Shame that no ascendancy is a clear match for a skill like crackling lance. Has anyone come up with anything that it's an obvious choice for?
IT's so weird that the one thing that's hard to build around in PoE is a spell that you cast yourself
alternative quality makes for fun use of enhance support
you can go assassin with it
or you can go inquisitor or elementalist.
I wonder if the loot will be contentious on the ol reddit
"I did a blueprint and all i got was gems and bases that I'll never use!"
That complaint could have merit. It all depends on investment vs accessibility vs reward
better now that golems don't yeet out of existence when you leave the game
wow what the heck is that astrolabe amulet
a massive bait is what it is
I want one for memes sake
I wanna slam it with some dumb fossil and see what happens
Some questions about Impending Doom/Doom Blast:
- What curse influences the damage: those whitch was expired/removed or the new one (new curse removes the previous one and triggers Doom Blast)?
- The skill has cooldown of 0,15 sec and 3 uses. Does it mean that at max 3 curses on monster can trigger Doom blast (if I remove them all at one moment)?
Prime Regrading Lens
Secondary Regrading Lens
Tempering Orb
Tailoring Orb
Whatre these?
the former, as far as i'm aware: the game goes "hi it is time to remove hex," damage calculations for hexblast/doom blast occur, then hex is removed. we know damage calc happens before hex is removed because profane bloom still happens. While it's not known for certain, it's likely if you're pushing a old curse off with a new curse, the new curse probably won't factor into damage calculations.
because the curse would probably be applied after all the various hexblast shenanagins happen.
@barren ingot thanks
hey. does sombody know if impending doom dmg is increased by the curse on the enemy
i think it ends before the dmg is applied but im not sure
Is there any additional information on the content that will be added later after release?
Like, is the league just launching without half of its intended bosses now or is it more like a bonus addition?

" if you don't get out in time (or die) during a heist, any contraband items you have will be removed from your inventory! "
This really suks, we all know poe crash a lot
Astrolabe seems insane if you manage to roll well. Chaos spamming dream
Oh well, I hope they tell us a bit about the missing content
Them being tied to challenges really makes this feel like a feature incomplete launch, and not like an additional bonus patch
Yeah they will release some league content (bosses)? tied to challenges after a week i think?
+3 amulet, np

tfw you wanted something like astrolabe back in harvest 
Just wait one week for the game to pass beta. As with every league launch.
one week? 
but fusings peak at 1week
gotta get them within the first 4 days to have an early 6link
is it possible to get awakened supports with alt quality 
No
is this additive or multiplicative with the "10% less" on the base gem?
i.e. effective damage will be 30% less or 28% less?
what should be better as starter in your opinion guys, after mines nerf? BL or skelemancer?
@velvet palm turns out it's additive
well that's fucking stupid

nobody knows
So are the discharge changes a nerf overall? BEcause they kinda seem like a nerf
Hard capping the cd to 250s is brutal
😃 is there a crackling lance build laying around for us noobs?
without any cdr the dps is the same
but yeah not being able to reduce the cd is itself a nerf
Hi, is there any info in regards to ancestral bond + flame wall? Will projectiles fired by totems get increased damage or not since I cant deal damage myself thus flame wall deals 0?
is it true you will get a 10 alt quality drops at once in heist?
like minimum ?
maybe on grand heist wing or smth
iirc you get to choose a single gem out of like 5
which is very nice imo
same with replica uniques
Guys, i played pretty much only totems for 6 years. Last two leagues freezig pulse, and it made me a bit burndout. Since GGG Killed flame totem, and i dont see any alternative totem build... Any suggestion for something tanky, and pretty strong? Or maybe some unusual totem build that wont suck?
Go play new fire skill totems with fire wall
To be fair, none of new skills look interesting at all. Well, maybe that black hole one, but w/e
@last river they're not a nerf just changes it
because the new one triggered is twice the old one triggered
but has a lot more aoe
because the new one triggered is twice the old one triggered
salvo looks fun
What do you mean?
old one had a trigger less damage too
and counting it
old triggered discharge did 50% of new triggered discharge
I guess that's true. It's gonna be hell keeping your attack speed below 4 though
Or getting multiple sources of cdr
it's clearly not a cospri's discharge
new one is better with a 7L shaper supported by CoC weapon
it would be obnoxious to fine tune ice nova/frostbolts with CDR and .250 trigger discharge
you'd basically have to stop at .125
new one got a much better AoE tho
coc swords are still pretty fast. You might not even be able to take ass ellusive node
there's different bases tho
some redditor did calcs
it's like 9% more dmg
new discharge when triggered vs old
plus u need to waste a jewel
yes but you'd technically often get more charges to discharge on bosses
Exquisite blade implicit has 0.05 less aps than the slowest aps sword base
if you use stormbrand to generate more on bosses which you should
What's the proper discharge setup nowadays anyway
so the occasional +1/2 charges makes a diff
you can't on CoC
because voll's protector gives you the keystone making frenzy generation give you power charge and 4% more spell damage
Ohhh right
think i saw a build running frenzies + powers
Actually you wouldn't want frenzies would you
that's not a CoC discharge
Would push you over aps limit lmao
was CoC
you can run frenzies + power with badge and farrul
i really don't see how you'd get good uptime on those with farrul at .250 trigger rate
you'd need aspect to switch twice per .250
not frenzies
yah makes sense
with voll's amulet
it looks pretty good tbh
as CoC
as it's locked you don't need to stack CDR
Also how does current coc discharge do on bosses? Seems like its power generation would be inconsistent if you're only critting once per attack and have 25% chance to max out once per power charge generation
should be able to generate bonus charges
20M+ dps allegedly
i'm not sure if brand can get +2 charge on a PCoC proc with voll's
but if it does it's even better
that would mean that one storm brand proc lets you hit a +4 power charge discharge in the worst case scenario
and the funny thing is that CDR might not even help this build
cause the jewel has an "is" modifier
yes
that's why i said you can get "better" gear
like not having to pay CDR on boots and belt
can get much better items for the same price
as CoC is often popular they tend to skyrocket the price
because the jewel says CD is x
maybe it works but it looks like it won't
if it does it's a LOT stronger
because .250 is less than double the CD
for double damage
what builds u guys going?
freezing pulse assassin
idk
i'll wait and see how the skills look a bit
since i don't play at leaguestart
but a few hours later
i just know that pinpoint allows you to get some average single target damage out of freezing pulse
and that assassin makes freezing pulse very good for clear selfcast
what lol
everything you said is the opposite
pinpoint allows you to get 90% MORE damage in a single support gem. And assassin is great in terms of scaling freezing pulses damage thru crit
It has elusive and movement stuff but that doesn’t correlate to freezing pulse’s clear
yes, average single target
freezing pulse isn't a monstrous singletarget skill
my pob says 740k right now, once new assassin's mark, frost shield, and pinpoint come out in pob, it will be like... 1.5-2m dps probably
which is average
weird how a lot of people league start freezing pulse totems for ez boss kills
average =/= bad
but good singletarget is like 3m+ dps
assassin is amazing for clear because of ambush/assassinate
that node alone makes freezing pulse amazing for clear
i always thought 5mil was average and 10mil + is good lol
i'm kinda tempted to go blazing salvo self cast with fork/chain for clear
but i kinda feel like all the new skills aren't gonna be that good
it says on the reveal page it can fork
dunno about chain, and unsure the distance/fork behaviour
"while Fork lets the mortars split into two if they hit enemies, with each exploding separately."
i see now
literally only reason i wanna self cast is cuz pinpoint support only works with self cast
Does anyone know if Cooldown from Discharge Threshold Jewel With at least 40 Intelligence in Radius, Discharge Cooldown is 250 ms can be scaled by CooldownRecovery from say belt OR is it hard-set at 0.25 seconds?
Pinpoint salvo is just molten strike but actually playable
no one knows yet for discharge
I assume it's treated the same as Al Dhih variant with Warcry Skills' Cooldown Time is 4 seconds which I believe GGG stated is hard-set at 4 and not affected
I bought stygian molten strike right before they slaughtered it
Never felt so betrayed
Would be neat to have the same stygian effect on salvo
anyways, assuming it's like Al Dhih, have it already implemented for PoB then. If it can be scaled let me know and I'll fix it.
basically if it's hardcapped at 250 then cwc will probably be the best for it
Are contracts different than blueprints?
And you get blueprints from contracts right?
i think you can get blueprints from normal monsters as well as contract monsters
i don't entirely know how that works
Sounds good. This should be fun 🙂
Do we know how to gain intelligence for grand heist?
As in revealing rewards room
i think you just buy it with marks
fight monsters, get contracts
go to rogue harbor, do contracts from there
be sneaky or wreck everything, just get the artifact and other loot
trade for marks
find blueprints for bigger heists, use marks from contracts and other places to reveal it and hire people for the job
go in
get thicc loot
Betrayal but you're the bad guy
hey guys what should i do? i like to read the chat in global at leaguestart but i want to go quickly through the story
Play minions and do both 
betrayel but your the good guy.
I mean catarina wasn't actually a bad guy is the crazy part of betrayel.
She just pissed off jun
i mean she did systematically sacrifice innocent people to empower her immortality artifact and planned to rule the world
but yeah the main thing is she pissed off jun
I mean ruling the world isn't a bad thing.
she's one of the few people that can actually control undead on a non mindless level after all.
Think of how much better wraeclast would be with catarina in power
frankly, i think merely existing in Wraeclast is a recipe for disaster at this point
nevermind trying to control and rule it
Does this look like a league where it's going to be box loot like blight or mob loot like breach, or a combo like legion? Is there value in magic find for the heists themselves?
I think of catarina as what most people refer to as llawful neutral/good villain imo
Strict ass morale code. Beleives in eqality and has a cause.
Questions of alignment can only be applied in the context of the cultural norms of their world. Wraeclast is fucked in that regard.
That's fair so looking at a morality perspective lets say she's
Order+Undeath+Atheist
or at least a very neutral god
whats the name of the beefcake thief? not in to dudes but that guy just looks so badass
busts through walls and stuff
tibbs
thats it thnks!
do these thieves level up or is it just gear that increase them?
they level up iirc
i wonder if we can rush acts then level in peace at level 75+ areas or if we'll be forced to do mechanic
and if not, how party leveling works
you arent forced to do mechanic lol
you can literally stockpile the entirety of the mechanic
yeah but if the crew is not leveling from doing the missions are you at a disadvantage?
personally no
oh my
thats not that bad
i am very curious about some of these
Deal no crits
we will see
i see replica nebulis
but not replica bottled faith, so maybe the replica cortex only drop 1 item guaranteed
that currency is gonna be rly expensive
may reforge sockets lmao
its because some of the heist enchants guarantee linked sockets and stuff like that
oic
isnt htat gonna depend on how rare they are ?
bahaha
i dropped a contract and the quest tells me to use it but i can't?
the quest is to use a marker not a contract. markers are the coins
they're also portal scrolls
contracts can only be used in the rogue harbour
ohhh thank you <3 i should red better
I can't see how to access the rogue harbour. I have both markers and two contracts but there is no option in town to get there
right click on the red coin thinks in your inventory @covert rivet
Thanks!
Has anyone figured out how to actually get into a heist
I have 2 contracts and a quest contract that I have no clue where to place
talk to adiyah and click "prepare heist" @harsh bone
oh thanks man
Should I bother to continue playing this league if I already hate the forced "hardcore" mechanic inside a heist?
it'll get better once you get geared
i left the rogue harbor before completely my first heist now I have no way to get back into it? Anyone else having the same issue?
completing*
coins = teleport portal to harbor
well, i stashed the coins in the harbor stash...
hurry and get more then, or it'll probably be lost
assuming it's timed instances as usual
Because when talked to adiyah it was bugging out and wouldn't let me start the heist so i left
good point. i guess ill just get more and see
weird system
anyone getting weird crash issues?
the new patch seems to be nuking my PC lol to the point its hard shutting off
other games are running fine though
I'm level 7
dying in a level 2 heist
ugh
I hope this gets better at higher levels
do we see somewhere a timer for heist ? After failing 3times the trial one, still didn't notice it :/
Getting the primary item always puts the facility on full alert
yeah, and gives infinite enemies spawning behind and in front of you
restacking currency in your inventory after a heist is a fun and engaging mechanic too
Can someone help me figure out how to get to Rouge Harbor ?
@violet nymph use a rogue's marker from town or hideout
they're like portal scrolls
you may want to check your loot filter. smuggler's caches have guaranteed marker drops
damn, thanks ❤️
why did i fail my first contract? i got the item and i left without dieing
did you sell the item to the fence?
Weird.. I'm not sure
is there any way to get to the heist area without using marks? my game froze and I had to restart it, and I have all the stuff from my heist but no marks to go back and turn it in
kind of frustrated i can't go to rogue harbor from waypoints i pass by during campaign? Find myself wanting to do that vs other methods of going there?
anyone having problems trying to run the "trial run"?
no?
isn't it supposed to go to the planing table ?
can i complain about having player names on in the rogue harbour minimap.
isn't it supposed to go to the planing table ?
@toxic fractal nope, just go to the lady near the barber/fence
oh thanks\
Game crashed during Tibbs' contract - is there any panic to that or will it drop again?
my word, the difficulty of heists are crazy
things at level 21 have the HP of level 30s lol
@valid thunder it will drop again
Thanks! 🙂
That Heist, I must say, I like it.
im the only one who thinks in the next few days heist is gonna be nerfed?
what's there to nerf?
20 chaos in an hour in lvl 20 sounds bonkers
and if you finish the heist you can do even more heists
why in gods name is the rogue harbour a multiplayer area, ggg really doesn't care about bad pc players
nice message dot delete so lets resume to the worst, heist = trash have a good day
is there a way to enter the rogue harbor without the coins?
Anyone know where to get Blueprints specifically? Is there a comprehensive list of sources?
@past linden i just got one out of the regular heist chests in the world
Does /heist work lul
im just gonna leave it for few days seems to buggy, and if i got any fucking crash AGAIN same for the game prolly even just skip a league again
god damn it. can we make it so you dont lose the fucking heist if you click the red portal immediately on zoning in to a new heist
@livid pecan you should be able to just go back into the portal
Mobs dont activate if you stand back or to side
anyone crashing game at max alarm?
@silver kettle the portal disappears
@silver kettle i started "contract; finding opal" inside rogue harbor, the red portal came up, i went in, screen loaded, i accidentally clicked the red portal OUT, now back in rogue harbor....... and no more portal to go back
okay that's a problem, let me look into that
how is this better than no quality at all?
It allows you to trigger "projectiles return to you" effects.
so it's simply to enable chain/fork/split etc.?
Because if it pierces an unlimited amount of enemies, then it never reaches the last enemy, and never returns to you. That's what I understand of it, at least.
Yeah
How to start the contract?
anyone tried crackling lance? my dps is shit...
wasn't heist mobs suppose to be spectreable? Did GGG change their minds?
oh that's weird
the aqueduct boss, hundred foot shadow, was already on the ground when i got to their arena
disconnected mid-heist, is there any way to get back into it, or am I just out of luck?
Am I really the only person who dislikes the forced hardcore aspect of the heists?
I hate losing stuff I picked up, it's why I play softcore =\
new alternate gems:
- are they league limited, some area(map?) drop limited, or can drop anywhere? buyable from vendor, or vendor recipe?
- are they somehow marked in tooltip lootfilter other than a line of what they do with alt-tooltip - to easily recognize if that is the old one or new one?
what is this and what do i do with it
a message to go to sleep? its green, so quest item, slightly unknown, so probably new one, and new quests belongs to heists and rogues there, probably its adrop from heist to give it to one of rogues in their camp
Is Karst's Revenge broken? I cant click on the interactable at the end of the heist
how do you even get in? i cant seems to sign the contract
you have to talk to the npc related to the contract first
hello, so do i finish the heist when i sell the artifact at the fence or is there something more I should do?
both times i didnt not set off the alarm and was not in a party
viper didnt GGG say we would be able raise heist mobs as spectres?
or am i just going crazy?

Okay, I figured it out with Karst's revenge, on the 3rd time i acquired the contract it told me to talk to Karst first to get the poison from him.
is anyone having trouble finding those smuggler stashes (the ones that give marks and heists)? I've only found 2, and I've been in a lot more zones than that. Are they supposed to appear once per zone or not?

They're erratic
i got urn of farud and left with it, why did i fail
@warm lodge there's currently a bug where sometimes it states you've failed when you succeeded. This should be only visual and not affect any gameplay
i opened the heist, got in and misclicked portal and went back to rogue harbor
is there a way to get back in?
hmm its letting me do it again though
Has anyone found a new, unrevealed replica unique yet?
2nd in row Tipps crashes my game when he's crashing door during escape of Opal mission lol, is it known bug? @silver kettle
man monster kills sure add a ton of alert
Can Heist be done with teammates?
ok so whats with all the invisible oneshots
clicking the portal back to the rogue harbour closes the heist
zzZZZ
already lost two on a misclick
yes @swift rain assuming you mean other players
does anyone else crash in hiests like often?
yes
Can you sell old contracts together for a higher level one? I have a few ones that are many levels lower than I am
jesus heists at maps hurts like hell
i don't think i've completed one
and i have no problem in maps
so I've crashed twice now in heists
once immediately upon zoning in
is this common?
Then your doing something wrong
Nah they just do a lot of damage
I'm hybrid Hexblasting and I havent failed a single heist yet
even the 6 or so grand heists that I did
Meh, I'm also very low level and don't have much gear with decent life
Any confirmation on Splitting steel bugged tags?
Mine says attack, projectile, aoe, physical
yea and projectile doesn't work, doesnt get any benefit from Vic proj and slower proj and proj nodes
Oh, dunno
Though that could be why my shattering steel feels so much stronger than my splitting steel
Do contracts drop from mobs, or am I supposed to just buy them from the barber?
At the very least the tooltip doesn't go up and the dmg seems pretty damn bad for a 6l too. If it was a 3l tho it'd be fitting.
And Broseidon they can drop from Smuggler stashes and mobs too
It seems like every heist I do, after getting the artifact or whatever at the end, there's always one door that I just open and instantly die to about 20 mobs instantly shooting lasers or something at me
Are you supposed to have to use phase run or something to avoid that?
It's not even like an avoidable door, it's just the main route back with only one way through
Apparently both you and I missed the memo that this league requires block.
I mean my build isn't finished yet but I already have 63/31 block
doesn't seem to be helping much
But yeah idk what GGG was thinking when they decided to put 20 to 100 mobs behind a small ass door that just wait for you.
Wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't decide to make mobs way tankier when you are escaping.
yeah, it feels like they're immune to freeze too
y'know, now that you mentioned it, this is bringing back repressed memories of vaal constructs in incursion league
You can flamedash through the formation
Doesn't stop them from immediately turning and oneshotting you anyway
does taking the big treasure at the end always trigger alarm ?
yeah
😦
I guess PSA: Don't do heists right now, save them until GGG fixes their shit
Lost 1 ex, 3 divines and random stuff in the last hour because this shit DCs right before you leave a heist
Yeah, don't. 😛 GGG release yet another buggy league, so wait for a hotfix ^^
Used to it by now, apparently there's a ton of skill bugs happening too
eh i do 3 small heists below lv 10 and i already got 4 uniques xD
I seem to have got a bug where "The Kiss Goodnight" quest item is stuck in my inventory after failing a quest?
honestly the league hasn't been buggy at all for me yet
though tibbs can wack out a bit if you're standing near him when he's doing stuff
i want tibbs' fire shield skill
btw, is harvest gone forever in standart ?
ugh I am so sick of these oneshot squads that just wait right before the exit
oh nice, disconnected in a heist after getting a 5L
how do I unlock the thaum and other thieves?
Told you man, save your Heists, and run them after we get some info from GGG
It's fucked for a lot of people, you get DCd right before the end of every heist
its the new content dude
ppl wanna run it
and it is also fun new contenthonestly
ive done the trial and one extra lvl5 one and it is cool
i haven't dced once this league lol
I haven't DC'd once, but my client has crashed like 5 times
everything was fine untill level 70+ heists 😛 then I DCd 6 times in a row
now I Wont do it
Nice my demoliton guy was stuck for 5 minutes in a chest
this guy is THICC
should not have collision or something
You can move back and he should Reposition
Do I have to finish heist to get items, can i just leave in portal with items that I have from casual chests and not opening main one ?
finish them
Fml, got stuck in vault door. Means I lost the heist?
Can't move. Dash skill does nothing.
Well, this is lame.
portal out
How are you guys approaching the whole Stealth thing? With the guards at chockepoints and doors, I feel like I'm just fighting my way through contracts
for the most part you can really only stealth on the mech heists
yeah not much stealth unless you use skills for a short time
What do you do vs sentry guns? I can't damage them and they interrupt my rogues while dealing a lot of damage.
cant u disable them ?
Can you? If so, how do you disable them?
Do you need a special rogue skill for it?
i tought if you have an engineer with you, there might be a console to disable them
finally found my first big complaint with this league
if you accidently lag or anything and click out of the portal into the heist
you lose the heist
Or if you do the heist you have a 50% chance of losing the heist and get to look at your desktop.
that's a bug for what it's worth @valid isle . you're meant to be able to go back in until you set off lockdown. getting fixed.
it will drop again 🙂
my only other minor complaint is just how tanky the mobs are lol
im at about 5k dps doing the level 45~ish ones and jesus lol
the mobs are all bullet sponges
I stood next to a vault door when it opened and my character couldn't move at all afterwards. Is that an intended feature?
Or did I get bugged?
movement skills didn't work either
granted, i feel like 5k tooltip dps is low this season lol. i smash most the white trash but bosses seem to take longer than i remember
@zealous monolith oh god we spent weeks on and off working on this lol. it's meant to push you out of the way. will see what's up
Ah, good to know! Cheers man, I'm rooting for you guys!
In the meantime, I shall practice social distancing with vault doors lol.
hahaha
we did have a completely safe setup at one point, but it knocked you kind of silly amounts even if you weren't really in danger of getting stuck. replaced it with something smarter, but apparently not as reliable as we thought...
I didn't think about taking a screenshot, though from what I remember, it looked like my character was inside the vault door after it opened.
yeah no worries. if it does ever happen again a /bug would be handy, cause knowing your exact position will help and we get that info from /bug
but otherwise I imagine some trial and error will repro it eventually
i am actually curious just how much damage i need for these as im moving into the level 50s
I'll keep it in mind!
4l with 250~ pdps weapon isnt enough lol
What's your skill/ascendancy?
I'm pretty shocked GGG released a league mechanic where if you crash you can lose 100% of your progress...
champion and running spitting steel
Between me and my friend we've lost over an exalt from crashes in heist while leveling
Is there maybe a graphics setting that could be causing it?
in normal areas that are not apart of this league, i basically disintegrate everything
bosses are not too bad, just tanky
but in heist, everything takes 10~ hits
I crashed to desktop with no error codes in 3 back to back heists and called it a night. Right at the end of course so you get to see all the loot you lost.
At lvl 70 in day 1 early mapping gear (aka random rares and a 1c unique) on a TR/CA Pathfinder, my experience with the enemies in Heist is that they hit hard and some of them are resilient, especially after you grabbed the objectives and need to move back.
and the rares take a good 50+ hits lol
hmm I assume you're set up to impale and all that jazz?
yeah
Hexblast so far has been 1-2 shotting most mobs in Heist, my problem isn't the mobs, its the 10000% guranteed crash on the way out
150% impale effect, 7 hit impale, has 55% overwhelm for armor
hexblast is the other build i want to try, but i heard already its strong
Its strong but the clear is terrible
They should be nowhere near that tanky. According to reddit, the projectile tag on the skill is bugged apparently, so if you scale projectile modifiers like iron grip it doesn't do jack atm
oh
It feels like ED Contagion but without the damage spread effect
also remember, it is not a "melee" skill mechanically
melee only nodes don't do anything
and yeah, im taking mostly the 2h weapon nodes or sword nodes
though i realized the crit nodes i took are melee crit <~< so ill just untake those lol
though i think they might still apply?
i have a 15% crit rate atm
heist is really flavorful, idea's fun, mobs are overtuned so you know it's a day 1 league.
which with a weapon of 5% means the crit chance is boosting it i guess?
yeah, unless you took Resolute Technique, which Ziz/Steel did in their guide for it
so maybe melee is applying even though it shouldnt? LOL
I knew this league would be rough when I fought Oak lol
but also i have 9 chaos orbs at the start of act 5 which is absurd amounts of early loot.
did you do heist at every opportunity?
I have 15-18c and I'm in t4 maps
"melee crit" nodes are applying to spitting steel
yeah if a hesit map drops i'm doin it, and just blitzing past most mobs otherwise.
i'm genrally kinda slow leveler tho.
and vis projectiles reduces my damage
so i think the spitting steel is coded for melee rather than projectile, accidently
when its fixed, i might run a hunter for it instead
i think it will do better since i dont need to travel far left
you mean ranger?
you could swap to lancing steel in the meantime. Steelmage is mapping with it onstream right now and it looks really solid.
Yes lol
I used lancing and didn't super love it
But its not bad
I enjoy doing my own path though
I'm also finding the champion impale boost to be just okay for this. Slayer would probably be better
But I think ranger will do best
i gotta work out how to get enough dex for my witch to use the MS bow 😦
This might be better suited for #1┃after-acts-help
As we've kinda moved away from league mechanics
i'm getting FPS hitches
Yeah I saw oak
also tabula exploit nerf
I shot him like 250 times lol
I had no damage nodes when fighting him as I pathed through ranger life nodes.
I had Einhar with me though
Well, here is hopping for a spitting patch lol
if your tree is sword/axe impale champ, you can substitute a melee skill that uses either of those for now while leveling your steel skill and support gems in a weapon swap.
And then go back to it after it's been fixed
I force myself to not start alting until my league starter is in red maps.
this allows me to explore the league mechanic in greater detail
Has anything been said about Heists and disconnects?
^ Noipp
Asking on discord / reddit atm
BUt I am 7/7 for Heists and disconnects so far, really sad
Failed two contracts already thanks to my location updating into a pack of mobs 🙂
And the rogues sometimes refuse to do their job lol
Super fun though, when it does work
it has happened to me too
Indeed. Sadly it's been down for me for the last 4 hours
yeah when they fix it i think its gonna rock
in addition to really weird interactions in the rogue city
I also got vault door'd which viper confirmed to be a bug.
that happened to me too
I often can't open my stash in the rogue city either.
guild and heist stash work fine
Got stuck in a door and can't move 🤡
I really liked it when I was able to get 2 tabula's in my first 2 hours of playing and selling one for some sweet chaos moola
And of course the whole Heist disappears when you tp out or re-log 🙄
After you Trigger the Alarm, yes
Is this any good?
No, was before I triggered the alarm.
Thats good, yes
anyone else getting dc'd every 2nd heist?
I get dc'd or a freeze when i grab the bounty and want to eit the heist... always
I tried to revert my nvidia driver, still the same. On vulcan
im on dx11
This is bad 😦
how are people liking heist? im on the fence whether I want to commit to the leveling grind or sit out this one
cant really tell u, keep dcing
^
oh im sorry to hear that
Why did they think having player collision at the rogue harbor on the stash was good
Oh gosh
One of the 40 challenges involves vaaling an alt qual gem into 21
How hard is that?
I have to xp farm alt quality gems to 20 then pray?
Okay how annoying is it though that if you misclick on the damn Portal the whole Heist is just... gone
^
umm im kinda new to the game, but when i was doing the heist and finished and had to escape, do mobs just not stop spawning?
you have to run back to the entrance
k ty
am I being stupid, or why cannot I equip an heist member equipment? Found one that increases melee dmg by 30% and want to put it on Huck but it wont let me 😦 EDIT: I tw3as me being stupid.
actually had an req of a job to be level 6
any encounter sudden screen freeze while escaping heist?
and you have to just close off POE to restart
so annoying
How do I equip items for heist members?
Is there a list of mods that the items i can equip my members with roll?
I can only find mod lists for the trinket i myself can equip
Can u do heists with friends or only solo?
You can do them in parties
my strategy so far has been to clear a path to the end chest, opening all necessary doors
then going back and grabbing chests to start the lockdown timer
Is anyone here playing a summoner build? How is it working with the heist mechanic?
I feel like summoner might run into some issues
in some of the longer heists you want to avoid killing enemies as much as possible
where other builds can just run past the mobs, since only killing them raises the alarm, summoner mobs will automatically aggro
should be just fine for most scenarios though
Yeah, that's exactly what I fear will happen
holy shit how do I complete a heist without maxing alert level
I legit had like 4 big chests left and maxed out alert
lockpicking has a 25% less alarm setting
i see tyvm
I don't think you should expect to get every reward chest
im usually pretty good at stealth games
no clue how the fuck im so bad at this
as soon as they enter ur range of vision
you enter theirs
and i don't have sound enabled, idk if they even make sounds
stealthing is impossible and rambo-ing it leaves me with no loot
same here, as soon as i can see them they can see me. i just started running through em. seems to work
just rush to the end and if your alert level is still fairly low, go back and grab some loot
just fyi they gutted stealth mechanic cause it would've actually been useful here
your best bet for early runs are either phase run or just run and tank pretty much
phase run gives 100% stealth which lowers enemy vision range by half
i see
thats what they changed stealth to
stelath at 100% used to be pure invis
but oh no a league where thats actually useful better gut it
does anyone have a list of types of rewards for each type of Contract? Like if we want to farm uniqs, or maps, or base types, which is which?
If you have... I dunno who it was, Nene? With you, you will see Icons on the Map? Which indicate Aggro spots or so?
i got a 6-link chest from heist, completed it, but crashed as soon as i left the area... then all items were gone :(:(:( sadFace
Any one else getting tons of client crashed during heists? tried both vulkan/directx no difference
negative
True, game consistently crashes every few heists for me
And briefly drops frames every time a new sound loads during heist
I've decided not to do heists until they patch a few things up anyway
Did GGG add trinkets?
When do you get them? Ive yet to find one
how do you reveal wings/secret rooms in blueprints?
Talk to Whakano I belive and it costs intel you get from heist completion
is it now known what are most likely causes for heists to crash game?
wondering if I should workaround them or just stop doing them until patch
I did not See how much Intell i have 
does anyone know if the heist colleagues get more exp if I let them do more work during a heist?
Jesus... so many crashes during heists... Anyone knows what might be the cause of it?
