Useful mod

stark flume
#

hey +armor might be one of the explicits

somber wigeon
#

I thought unidentified items only showed the implicit.

copper kernel
#

that is an implicit

#

its a synth item

somber wigeon
#

Those other mods tho

violet nymph
#

How long does a league usually last?

copper kernel
#

3 months

#

3 months

somber wigeon
#

I'm having fun with the league. It's more compelling to me than Delirium or Harvest, though I do miss crafting

violet nymph
#

Well, Im just waiting for the next league

#

Ive already gone back to standard

#

Is there a trade filter for green contracts?

twin fjord
#

holy crap almost died to a bleed after I exited the contract

terse sinew
#

@violet nymph do you mean loot filter?

#

Not sure what you're asking

violet nymph
#

A stat filter on the official trade site that can target the green contracts for the different heist characters... I think that's how you increase their level

#

But am not sure marauderthinking

paper inlet
#

Is there any sort of general optimal strat for running contracts with the latest changes?

#

I went back to my atlas and ignored them for a while and now I have ~300... Are they even worth running?

hexed vale
#

where do alternate quality gems drop from exactly? The final room in Grand Heist? Or any chest in Grand Heist?

twin niche
#

so, I'm not finding this info anywhere: during the grand heist, can I exit between wings to sell loot?

paper inlet
#

Theoretically yes but in all likelihood you will lose your portal to return because it puts you in a different instance of the harbor than where your portal is

#

They fixed that but rolled it back because it broke other things and haven't patched it again yet

twin niche
#

okay, so better not risk it, thank you

paper inlet
#

Yeah, it's also possible to jump back and forth between the harbor and another zone to hope to find your original instance

#

But it's not guaranteed that you'll succeed, so it's safer not to leave at all imo

twin niche
#

yeah, available mechanics are annoying enough, no point in adding to that by my own accord

hexed vale
#

I just learned it the hard way, lost my Harbor instance when portaling back to stash loot between wings. My 3rd GH lost in a row, the first two I wasn't able to open the final room 🙂 oh well, 4th time is a charm I guess

devout osprey
#

wait for patch @hexed vale

gentle juniper
#

I'm so happy that I spent the blueprint and all the marks to reveal this amazing Grand heist ...... not a single wing is open

#

What the fuck 😄

#

2 weeks without being able to fix this

#

amazing

tranquil sigil
#

are the reward "mechanics" gonna be fixed or ggg decided to kill the rewards after 3 days and feels satisfied with it with keeping it?

thorn willow
#

@violet nymph green items are quest items and cannot be traded

violet nymph

#

Thanks for the message

hard path
#

how do I do a heist with a friend?

silver kettle
#

@tranquil sigil there are further changes to Heist content coming, see the latest post in #old-game-news

valid isle
#

looking forward to the changes

#

@silver kettle when do the unique item tabs get updated, btw?

#

I noticed the new shield cant be put into the tab

#

(ghostly w/e)

rigid stream
#

it is known

#

and will be updated shortly

ahh, wasnt sure that one got picked up, good to know lol

I'm in red maps and have 5 league challenges

when is heist becoming playable

I too hope it doesn't go core

stuck horizon
#

I just saw some random reddit mention another Heist reward nerf incoming ?

#

kind like no more reward chest ?

still mural
#

haven't heard about that. you can look in #old-game-news for the latest they released on their plans for the league; they mentioned moving some stuff from small chests to big chests, but not a nerf to the total.

stuck horizon
#

found it thx 😛

north crow
#

anyone had luck with blueprint drops i've seen 1 since league start

coral garden
#

Play more

night bloom
#

yeah i'd say the 1 in 10 maps figure is pretty accurate when spamming T14+

north crow
#

Maybe tomorrow then like 40+ maps with nothing and only 1 when leveling

#

That's just today

opal sparrow
#

what tier maps are you running and what level is your character? cuz there is exp/drop penalty involved as well

spice cipher
#

not in maps

#

maps ignore that

opal sparrow
#

really? 😮

spice cipher
#

thats only acts

opal sparrow
#

faark. dammit. I stopped farming Residence because I thought there was a penalty

spice cipher
#

theres just less xp per hour in lower tiers but no penalty

north crow
#

I think I'm in my 70s and just getting into reds

opal sparrow
#

noice. I guess it's just down to RNG then haha

#

I'm 81 still doing t2-t6 to farm chaos orb recipe. Got quite a few BP's yesterday.

coral garden
#

@north crow in your 70s and just getting into reds means u buy maps to run and focus on atlas progression. U have barely done any maps at all. I am 91 and just getting into reds. Found around 15 blueprints

river narwhal
#

level 91 sitting at 99 bonus objectives, about 20 blueprints

#

70s in red is certainly a lot of map buying

#

or dying 5 times per map who knows :p

#

a bit more than 1 in 10 but gotta consider drops from delve and temple as well, so 1 in 10 could be accurate

sick hemlock
#

do you guys still lose grand heist when exit?

#

I spent 30 markers still can find the instance that have my grand heist portal

livid pecan
#

are there any vendor recipes for contracts/etc? any use for the old ones you got when leveling?

hot gyro
#

what can i do when i switch to Vulkan crashed permantly PoE (i updated my amd)

void wing
#

There is setting file you can edit outside of poe to change it back to dx11.

#

Don't know where it is exactly, will have to look it up.

hot gyro
#

got it thanks

runic thistle
#

can I go out of a grand heist after I've completed one zone and come back in?

fallen warren
#

yep, you can drop loot at rogues harbour and return

runic thistle
#

how do I go back in?

fallen warren
#

the portal is up

runic thistle
#

it disappeared :X

shut quarry
#

you're set into another instance

#

when you go to your HO and return you have a chance to find it again, sooner or later

#

known bug, sorry

runic thistle
#

damn, i'll try it thanks

shut quarry
#

gl!

runic thistle
#

yay i found it 😄

#

20~ tries

hot gyro
#

hmm it dosnt help more lags than ever

fallen warren
#

Is there anyway to know if there are going to be safes in the reward room of contracts?

barren crescent
#

20 marks for getting back into your grand heists seems wurf

eager terrace
#

I think only templar maps have safes in regular contracts

#

in grand heists I've seen safes in templar and library

#

or laboratory, any of the mage/necro guys

still mural
#

yeah, for normal heists safes are in bunker and records office (and maybe mansion? I forget what enemies are there cause I've only run it, like, twice)

#

@livid pecan belated but no, there's no vendor recipes for contracts. You can still get some good rewards from low level ones if you want to run them, or you can skip them or discard them. Main thing is that if it's below lvl 68, it won't have Breach, Legion, Delirium, or Harbinger chests.

opal sparrow
#

hey guys. can you get cotracts and BP's from delve?

#

@livid pecan you can farm chaos orb vendor recipe pretty efficiently at low heist levels between 60 - 74. I'm level 84 and i'm still running 67-74 heists. it's a gauranteed 2 chaos orb per run and anything extra is a bonus

#

managed to get all the cluster jewels i needed. now all i need to do is save up a few exalts fora 6 link xD

still mural
#

Yeah, I've gotten contracts from delve, and if it drops contracts, it can (rarely) drop blueprints

#

from the lootsplosion, not from any specific nodes

wintry agate
#

Isla's Designs quest is bugged and cannot be completed, right?

#

Second time it has happened to me. I get out with the Baffling Blueprints and there is no way to complete the quest, even though it tells me to talk to Isla.

still mural
#

I don't think I've gotten that one, so idk

#

can post in the bug forums to be sure they know about it?

wintry agate
#

Where do I do that?

still mural
wintry agate
#

Thanks, done.

opal sparrow
#

alot of things are buggy atm. I'm kidna of holding off doing grand heists because I keep getting stuck on the final door. Can't open it. so I'm just leveling my rogues using contracts.

#

I'm also on ps4 and the constant crashes got me trying to find the right rogue harbour instance to get back into my grand heist. lol

still mural
#

poe on ps4 in general is just super buggy, I believe

opal sparrow
#

yep. it sure is. but it's playable still

#

just barely haha

#

would you happen to know how frequenty Whakano refreshes his shop?

#

is it when you level up like other vendors? or is it a daily thing?

still mural
#

it's when you level up

opal sparrow
#

trying to get a deception lv1 contract or bp to level up giana. haven't found one yet -.-

still mural
#

you're more likely to get low job lvl contracts in lower tier maps

opal sparrow
#

yeah. i might have to grind low tier maps. umm. with the +1 affix on the rogue gear. is it supposed to be invisible bonus? I have it equipped but Gianna is still level 1 in all skills

still mural
#

the +1 level increases their combat level, not their job level; there's another mod for +level to a specific job, and another for +level to all jobs, but they require ilvl 82+

#

so if you take gianna into a level 70 contract, and she has +1lvl on gear, she'll be lvl 71

opal sparrow
#

ohhh. okay it's the character level no skill level.

#

gotcha

still mural
#

it's pretty shit 🙃

neat rover
#

my first unique contractt

#

first gate

#

CONTRACT FAILED

#

are you fucking kidding me

eager terrace
#

that's intended

#

well... the alarm is intended, they just didn't implement a better message

opal sparrow
#

wait i just realised. you can buy contracts.

#

from the trade market lol

still mural
#

oh, yeah, you can do that if you're in trade

#

I forget that's a thing 😄

neat rover
#

sarcasm wallach?

eager terrace
#

I mean that's just how the contract works

#

it wasn't actually failed

#

the alarm goes off as soon as you go in on that one

#

it's just a bad error message

neat rover
#

bad error or just bricked as we joined

#

i hope ggg sees this

#

maybe they can figure out what caused this

#

bitch was stuck on first door

i'll just go cry in corner

#

aw. crashed in a contract heist.

#

that's only like my second or third of the league, though

brazen flicker
#

For some reason

#

All others rogues

#

Don’t raise alert level

#

Nenet does for ANYTHING

#

You walk? Alert, you kill? Alert, you open doors? Alert

copper kernel
#

youre being spotted by alert totems

#

present in perception missions

#

its shit and is getting changed up next patch

brazen flicker
#

What the fuck are those

velvet palm
#

they're cancer is what they are

#

barely visible poles that raise alert and are invincible until a rogue "makes" them non-invincible

green cove
#

any idea what map GR8BO-Y is in?

copper kernel
#

he spawns in heists with those inactive robots

green cove
#

yeah, any way to tell which is that heist?

livid escarp
#

it's dependent on the tileset, I think tunnels was one of the ones with robots

green cove
#

it isnt the gargoyle btw

bitter locust
#

He's the HUGE dog robot that patrols back and forth shooting laser iirc

green cove
#

havent seen him afaik

copper kernel
#

yeah hes really noticable

#

he can spawn on the way out too

green cove
#

done like 15 different heists, no lucj

signal swan
#

not exactly easy to miss, you'll know when he appears

stuck frost
#

Hey there - not sure if this is a common issue - I just started a few minutes ago and I can't log into the rogue harbour. Keep getting kicked out in the loading screen. Anything I need to know?

rigid stream
#

Do you have an SSD?

signal swan
#

huh, interesting. The agility lasers, they don't do that much damage if you go fast. You can probably step on the pressure plate faster than tullina.

formal delta
#

Yeah those and certain traps I sometimes just blitz through. The glowing floor traps that only activate on the escape side do basically no damage

#

Your mileage may vary of course

still mural
#

just don't try it with the traps in trap disarm contracts

#

counter-thaumaturgy, sure; agility, fine

#

@green cove repository is one of the mech tilesets, I know

green cove
#

yeah heard tunnels and repo, no luck so far still qq

signal swan
#

oh, the counter thaumaturgy ones are fine as well, good to know

#

the enchanted armour rewards are surprisingly good, chest armour is really biased towards high life and multiple resists.

#

it's a bunch of T3 mods, but it's all the right T3 mods.

dapper dove
#

Question: is it worth it to alch heists? Or just run them white? Does alching affect the items dropped from chests?

copper kernel
#

i found no reason to alch them

torpid sonnet
#

a lot of the mods come with reduced alert level which means you can loot more chests

#

but they also make it harder, so it depends how much your character can handle

signal swan
#

I realised that the per 25% alert mods don't apply to getaway

night bloom
#

yeah definitely alch, decent mods can more than double the amount of chests you can open

signal swan
#

so I think those are safe

night bloom
#

Depending on how you have your rogues set up too

signal swan
#

just avoid the one that increases alert every 10 seconds

night bloom
#

^^^

signal swan
#

and the usual reflect whether you can take it or not

night bloom
#

Anyone know wtf “Maximum Alive Reinforcements” is?

signal swan
#

also, roll lockpick ones. Even after the alert reduction nerf, with decent gear, Karst can still clear all the chest.

#

which are the maps with the safes, again?

copper kernel
#

templar ones

signal swan
#

ah

fallow veldt
#

Can we agree that the mod "Monsters have X% chance to drop duplicate rogue makers" on brooch is a bug ? Or doesn't working ?

Dying in heist makes me wanna uninstall the game

#

Git gud i guess

fallow veldt
#

Does scouring a blueprint remove the wings reveals ?

copper kernel
#

no

warm lodge
#

@dense mauve should inspire you to work on your build or try a new one. Or run slightly lower heists

fathom ridge
#

Is there a way to go in and out of a grand heist to drop off loot?

torpid sonnet
#

Yes you can go through the portal between wings to stash loot

#

but its bugged atm so you often get put in a different rogue harbour instance

halcyon chasm
#

I just want niles to move :L

velvet palm
#

@fathom ridge you're very likely to lose your grand heist if you try it, but it's possible

#

if the portal is missing you can try to go in and out of the harbour to load into the specific instance of the harbour with your original portal

minor ermine
#

there is a way

#

second acount, make char, go in party, use him as anchor to the instance, still chance of getting full instance, but it's worth a try

#

however

#

as they will make harbour private

#

just wait 😛

valid isle
#

"The Rogue Harbour is now a private area which only you and your party members can access."

#

it should have started this way, tbh

modest yoke
#

If i have 164 shield, and have "frost shield" skill which consumes 600 shield per second, that means i can never get more than 1 charge for this shield skill ?

So is the loot good now?

mild nacelle
#

Can you leave a heist without collecting the objective?
do i keep the loot i gathered up to that point if i dont steal the objective?
(ping me because i know i'll forget to check)

young knoll
#

anybody else have issues when doing heist with niles?? he always gets stuck behind me fighting mobs

fathom ridge
#

yes, all the time

#

happens with several NPC's

terse sinew
#

@mild nacelle yes, but if it is a grand heist you won't be able to re enter. Next patch will fix that tho

mild nacelle
#

so i should just run through, pick up everything up until the final item (without triggering alarm), drop it in a stash, and run back in? or am i misunderstanding you?

untold abyss
toxic pine

trade for it

@mild nacelle if your goal is loot you dont need to do final reward. If you want markers or job xp you do

frigid venture
cerulean vector
shut quarry
#

@frigid venture B is closer but not correct if you have some +DoT, since MORE DoT is calculated as last

frigid venture
#

DoT? Where do you get DoT from freezing pulse unless you're doing cold ignite/poison lol

shut quarry
#

oh that is non-dot dot. just read the maths, pardon.

frigid venture
#

it's not Damage over time. It's just GGG trying to describe damage falloff lol

#

also "calculated first" or "calculated last" doesn't matter if everything is multiplicative, save for ailments

eager terrace
#

pretty sure it's B without the .5 mult

#

oh no the .5 is still there

#

I thought the qual removed that line

#

I didn't even really want to use it before I saw that just now haha

#

is that the trade site tooltip or the in-game one?

frigid venture
#

@eager terrace B without 0.5 mult means A lul

eager terrace
#

yeah sorry I didn't look that closely at first

#

did you get to check this gem in-game?

frigid venture
eager terrace
#

man that's confusing

#

as written I guess I would expect B but that would be pretty wack

frigid venture
#

I suppose that's more likely too... A would sound too good to be true

eager terrace
#

I mean you'd be trading more top end than you gain bottom end

#

on top of losing 40% proj speed

shut quarry
#

it's still B and if you have any kind of +added damage to that spell it's wrong after all

frigid venture
#

The thing is that proj speed is already a good way to diminish the falloff... so with 40% proj speed, hitting an enemy at Alt FP's maximum range would have been close to 64% anyway

shut quarry
#

you can only multiply them if you only use such multiplicators

eager terrace
#

I'm not entirely sure what you mean

frigid venture
eager terrace
#

no yeah I agree with you

#

that's why I mentioned losing the proj speed

#

I mean the other guy

#

about flat added damage

frigid venture
#

I'm not sure what's the point of alt quality if my illustration is correct

eager terrace
#

I assumed it was an override

#

it only makes sense to me if it actually replaces the current dissipation rule

frigid venture
#

yeah

#

oh my bad. the bottom 100% should have been 80%

eager terrace
#

like I didn't even want to use it when I assumed it would be 80-128 lol

#

if it's not an override then it's junk

eager terrace
#

right but all of that damage is still multiplied by your less / more modifiers

#

he's examining the impact of these three multiplicative factors

shut quarry
#

exatly, and that inculdes added + FLAT dmg before aswell

eager terrace
#

which is still multiplied by these three

#

thus the % values are always relevant

shut quarry
#

i never said thewy were irrelevant. figure it our yourself.

eager terrace
#

yeah okay

#

anyway

#

I'll see about grabbing a gem myself to see if the tooltip is just being bad

#

if it's not implemented as a complete override it's total junk

void wing
#

The illustration is not to scale either, so it might still be more dmg at that distance.

#

Though I can't imagine it being very different.

#

So it would ultimately be kinda crap.

There are a ton of factors that go into how tanky you are.

idk theres only so much you can do

#

i can see why people stick to 4k hp and just cross fingers

#

theres no difference

void wing

Most of the people tanking and doing it well aren't just building defenses, they're also know the game well enough to know what they can't tank.

still mural
#

there absolutely is a difference

#

otherwise hardcore wouldn't be a thing, lol

verbal crest
#

Wait, you can leave a contract before setting off the alarm, drop off everything you picked up, and then go back in and finish the contract?

#

when did that change?

#

this patch?

still mural
#

I think so

verbal crest
#

well you can, I just did

still mural
#

unless that was also a thing we could do all along and we just didn't realize because of the instance bug

verbal crest
#

I dropped a high value item and so I left not wanting to risk it and it let me go back in and finish after stashing the item

most of the time the backtracking isn't worth it, but when you get something good, yeah, may as well

how do you get more reveals

#

do you need to do something special

rigid stream
#

Lvl 68+

valid isle
#

you could do it all along, yeah

#

but since it was buggy, you often would lose your instance

so it was only worth doing when you found an ex or w/e

distant osprey
#

has anyone ever gotten a good unique from unique chests? i swear ive opened 100+ of them in i83 contracts/blueprints and i legimately don't think ive ever gotten a unique worth more than a couple C

#

its to the point where i rarely even open them anymore...

copper kernel
#

yeah theyre a low tier reward

#

youd do armor/weapon/jewelry before uniques

verbal crest
#

you ever have something stay in your inventory after dying in a heist. Mostly silver coins?

eager terrace
#

yeah every once in a while an enemy drop will not be contraband

#

usually when I notice its silver coins myself

verbal crest
#

just happened to me with an ancient orb thank god lol

copper kernel
#

incubators and prophecies arent tagged as contraband

verbal crest
#

you know, on high level contracts, I think I am just going to run to the end, and open chests moving back to the entrance and just leave without the target item. Doing the math, markers cost about 1c per contract run. I feel like I will make more in the long run not losing some of the stuff I do to awkward mods and such on the contract and will save on not having to re-roll contracts as much.

#

the only downside is it will cost about 30-40c per contract in markers

#

then again, if I run tullina missions, I can get sellable token generators in reward chests

#

so she should sustain herself

#

The "additional seconds to Lockdown Timer" modifier on Ally Equipment now gives a maximum of 5 seconds (from 10 seconds). Existing items are affected by this change.
The "increased time before Lockdown" modifier on Ally Equipment now gives a maximum of 10% increased time before Lockdown (from 20%). Existing items are affected by this change.
Isla, the Engineer's Heist Perk now gives 30% increased time before Lockdown at Level 1, up to 50% increased time before Lockdown at Level 5 (from 80% at Level 5).
Opening a Heist chest during the Imminent Lockdown timer will now reduce the remaining time by 3 seconds (from 1 second).
why

verbal crest
#

I dont think it will make that much of a difference

#

length of the contracts will be standardized and thus smaller and thus fewer chests (I assume), so you are still probably opening every chest

#

Dropped Talismans in level 68+ areas now drop with higher-tier modifiers on average and with a random Anointed Notable.

#

this though

#

Anointed talismans?

next epoch
#

Gives them some hope of being valuable I guess

#

As opposed to the current state of affairs where they're barely even vendor food

verbal crest
#

Now just add "Can anoint Keystones" for maximum RNG

#

uhhh

#

anyone ever see this?

eager terrace
#

yeah sometimes

#

only in that specific side room of templars

#

usually just back away from it and go back

#

for the challenge "Heist Enchantment Modification"

do you need to have 10 of the 14 mentioned modifiers equipped at the same time? or can you equip 1 of the modifiers and it will be marked off?

eager terrace
#

try just leaving the room then going back

#

or mash V and see if he has to open it

#

just one at a time for that challenge

ruby dew
#

also, the modifiers that are heist enchantments are in brown, right?

eager terrace
#

no those are fractured items from synthesis

#

heist enchantments are the enchants on items found in some grand heists

#

like the grand heist reward will say enchanted items or something

ruby dew
#

so I've legit missed them all so far 😆 okay.

Do more monsters spawn during escape the higher your alert bar was initially?

And it'll suck even more somehow

Ggg has really pushed a lot of leagues to go core recently and i think it's not the best for the game

Since they aren't putting any time into reworking old leagues and figure slapping a 10% chance to find something in maps is good implementation

really not enjoying current league mechanics, 99% of the difficulty is in the escape, for some reason level 60 heists are more difficult than tier 6 maps, it's never fun to lose stuff you've already picked up, and the fact that there's key quests is really annoying since you cannot put them in storage

That was the Point tho, that the escape is the difficult part

That was even in the Trailer marauderthinking

Because Player Level has nothing to do with how good your build is

you'll get them again from a smuggler's cache later

Yea and then you get Hit and die

Block and evasion are Nice But dont reduce incoming dmg

They do a Lot of phys dmg and especially laboratory does chaos

ye, was kinda hoping the >60% nullification + EDC leech would balance that out, but not if there's like 40 enemies dealing 4000+ dmg per hit

that's gonna be a problem with more than just heists, eventually

Heist is to slow, unrewarding, and rippy. Most of all it gets boring pretty fast

It's great conceptually but the execution is lackluster

They made 'kill shit get stuff', a core part of the arpg gameplay loop, into 'avoid killing shit it's pointless, wait three hours for doors'

it's not really that slow

Hey guys. So its my first time trying to run a blueprint. I revealed one additional wing, but I dont see any other ones. I thought there were supposed to be more?

Am I doing something wrong, or is its expected for it to have 2 wings?

fallen tulip

the blueprint will say how many wings are available

you cant reveal more than what it says

Can I return to the rogue harbour by now inbetween wings?

You can return now.

Assuming you're running both sword and shield.

Which is rare, the combo is usually axe and shield.

Because swords ppl go crit and going crit with shield is difficult.

the reduced alert opening chests is only tier 2 but this is a POG cloak

valid isle
#

agreed

#

14% reduction with 1 in 10 not generating any

verbal crest
#

im fine with settling for t2 reduced since rolling reduced and chance not to generate on the same cloak are expensive since they are both suffixes and you cant alt spam them

neat rover
#

so how do you choose what chests to open since opening 2 BIG ones fills almost half of the alert bar?

#

for example in grand heist?

#

you open 3 its almost full

#

there is zero point of buying other rooms because you cant even open half of them..

#

bad design..

verbal crest
#

uh

#

if opening one big chest fills almost half your alert bar your gear is not optimized at all and you arent rolling your contracts for reduction

also: if you plan appropriately and go zoom zoom you can open a handful of chests after the lockdown count starts

idk what a reveal point is

Reveals for Grand Heist

reveal wings? i thought u pay the coins for that

tender veldt

Yeah, u need coins & 1 Reveal

U get them from doing normal heist, but mine is bugged

mine just costs coins

#

i dont see any reveals drop or anything like that

tender veldt

Wait what

trail tiger

maybe they are for special ones i got to

No eyes beside the coin when u reveal a wing?

trail tiger

let me go try

#

oh okay i see it now

#

the waku guy has them

#

idk how they fill up i never used them shows i have 25

#

how do you fill them? by completing contracts or?

#

Should I have been saving up reveals? i just fail the heists on purpose to try to get more chests faster maybe I am doing it wrong? I didnt see the value in the items in the end of the heist they seemed week

still mural
#

you get reveals by running contract heists, yeah

#

I think it's only a chance to get a reveal for sub-i68 contracts, though? I'm not sure we've figured out exactly why you sometimes don't get a reveal

sonic jacinth
#

mfw i just pop vaal grace and i do agility faster than tullina

trail tiger
#

is there a way to check your reveal amounts without starting a blueprint?

#

also still unsure if its worth to complete these contracts or not does the level of the contract level up these guys faster? maybe i should spam low level contracts just to get the crew levels up?

#

because it takes twice as long to get out of the contract for me once the lockdown hits, I have been just looting until almost full bar and leaving

still mural
#

You can put a blueprint in and check the reveals you have available without actually spending anything

#

I'm not aware of a way to check your reveals if you don't have a blueprint handy, though

#

job XP scales with contract ilvl, so you want higher ilvl contracts for more xp

trail tiger
#

okay

#

stinks cuz the i83 contracts take so long to escape for me

#

not hard but these guys are like 10x hp compared to like normal maps

still mural
#

the patch scheduled for early next week should help some by making the higher level contracts smaller

trail tiger
#

or even juiced delirium lol

#

oh nice i should wait then

#

thank you for your help

still mural
#

just also keep in mind that higher ilvl contracts tend to have higher job requirements, so you may need to use lower ones to get the first one or two job levels

cold bridge

is the item quantity on contracts just affecting mob drops yeah, not influencing the chests?

trail tiger
#

it seems like mobs are much tougher but idk about loot increase or not

be sure to do a trinket one for your first, if you haven't yet, so you can get the benefit

I haven't gotten through one without issues before. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the heads up!

#

Is it worth the risk of alching them? I assume so (if I can do that level of content). I know that helps a bunch with alarms in normal contracts

still mural
#

If you can safely manage it, yeah, but it can be quite tricky

#

and you'll want to avoid some specific mods (reflect, lockdown is instant, maybe crit multi)

#

personally I just transmute and augment

karmic root
#

kk. yeah I'm hitting red maps right now (first time on the new map system) and not the most tanky, so anything t6 or above heist-wise is probably dangerous

still mural
#

bringing Huck is a valid option for grand heists if you need the combat boost

#

like it's not ideal, but it's better than in contract heists since you get 3 rogues per wing instead of the one

torn isle
#

for perception missions, so long as I offscreen every enemy I don't need to worry about the threat increase, right?

karmic root
#

I'm runnin ED so as long as the door being opened doesn't lead to a million damage instantly, I can throw that down and wait a few.

still mural
#

no, because you can't hit the totems until your rogue reveals them @torn isle

#

also difficult to offscreen them with the corners of the totem rooms

torn isle
#

Can I stack a pile of VD balls while the rogue does that?

still mural
#

I'd think so, yeah

#

but idk if it'll be better than just running past them

#

probably will be a good option post-patch, though

he mean GGG calculation incorrect , i bet lot of ppl noticed that , he saying 20% increased aler level but feels more like 50% or more

I thought he meant the doubling of heist reward, in which case I think that specific bit is intentional,

anyway, where can I farm lower level contracts so I can actually rank him up?

job requirement isn't tied to area level

Ah, I meant that Vinderi is 5 in two things. And I dislike bringing him along since his gear isn't that good yet >_>

so you should be able to farm contracts wherever you want

So I can't seem to find an answer for this, but do the Templar maps for Heist have buffs around some elites or mobs that make surrounding mobs have stupidly high block/dodge?

#

When they bulk up around doors or traps trying to kill a bunch of them is impossible

torn isle
#

Regarding heists, does the amount of alert before taking the heist target affect how long it takes for the barricades and formations to set up and block your path?

I believe higher alert = more reinforcements, but I don't know that it affects the speed

Yeah, I'm just hyper confused. I'm doing contracts below my level and I've got 97% chance to hit evasive rn, but I can whiff like 5-6 attacks in a row.

That's a metric fuckton of block if they're stopping 10k crits at level 50.

#

yeah, I wouldn't think that'd be relevant, but it's the only thing I see 🤷

torn isle
#

block has nothing to do with damage done, but still. Also could be some of the rare or magic modifiers.

I do note that sometimes the AI does bug up and such and enemies sometimes don't seem to be in a damageable state if you don't get close enough to trigger them. (especially those who get in formation behind doors)

Run lower level contracts for rogue xp

#

Heist maps should be shorter starting tomorrow?

quiet sail
#

God I hope so.

#

After a certain point they become insanely long. I have just kind of been ignoring Heist honestly. It's time consuming, frustrating, and I think overall it just breaks up the gameplay loops pacing way too much.

valid mist
#

Heist is just poorly designed.

#

The core decisions they've had to walk back (and some that still need to be deleted) show it was never really thought about properly

#

Probably started and ended with the phrase 'wouldn't it be cool if' and completely forgot to take into account that an ARPG might not be the best genre to try and do stealth segments in.

#

That 6 second door animations that you're expected to repeat hundreds of times might get real old real fast.

#

Dropping loot on death is a novel concept but it's also not a good pick for a game thay crashes if you glance at it properly. And even THAT isn't very well done because you can just exit the alert area and run straight back in to 'save' the loot. Do a bit of annoying busywork and the only thing you're risking losing is the end reward.

#

As far as I'm concerned, regular Heists should probably start with you being teleported into a locked room with ~7 chests, of which you can only open a couple. Then, you have to fight your way out with one or two bonus doors on the side. That's more or less going to be what we get, except with backtracking.

#

whats stopping u from entering opening the chests and leaving to char select if it is bad

essentially keeping only the big drops

I think they should have included heists in the 75k quality challenge

Yeah i have Soon played an amount of Maps that have gotten me all bonus and aw objectives without buying a single map and im about to break the 40k, i hate that challenge with a passion every single league with diffrent iterations

It's not so bad with a fast mapping build.

You gotta really get into the zoom mindset tho.

Fair nuff.

#

Heist is just poorly designed.
@valid mist that's my biggest complaint. Like you can tell they thought of an idea and went all the way through implementing it without ever questioning if it fit the game.

#

In an ARPG like PoE, there is no way to do a stealth minigame. And the complaints people have had for years still exist in Heist.

#

Why are there stupid animations to slow you down? Why are there dumb on death damage effects for enemies? Why does it seem to exist in its own little world with little interlocking elements with the base game? Why are there pointless RNG elements to it that just should not exist?

#

A group of dedicated players would have pointed all these things out within hours of testing it. But it's clear GGG never bothered to play test it externally.

rigid stream
#

Because thats what an arpg is

#

If you want No rng, Play a jrpg

#

Or Read a book

valid mist
#

The RNG isn't the problem, I think everyone has mostly come to terms with GGG's fractal RNG by now - even if they hate it.

#

The problem is that Heist is a stealth minigame in an aRPG. It should be more like robbing a bank than burglarizing a mansion.

rigid stream
#

Did you actually Play the league

valid mist
#

Yes.

rigid stream
#

There is No stealth anymore

#

You can Just kill everything

valid mist
#

Yeah, because they had to remove it.

#

(Also there still is, by the by.)

rigid stream
#

So why are you still complaining

valid mist
#

Perception totems still exist.

rigid stream
#

So?

#

Avoid them?

#

Run past them, or kill them

valid mist
#

Now I'm starting to feel like you're the one who hasn't played the League.

stuck horizon
#

:D

rigid stream
#

You do realise that they have a Casttime and that they can be killed?

quiet sail
#

My issue is still that it breaks up the core gameplay loop too much. The game is predicated on kill stuff, get loot. Having these arbitrary restrictions in the game and convoluted means of achieving that is just not fun. They fixed a lot of the major issues, but in doing so they basically broke the entire theme of the league. Even disregarding that, the idea as it applies to the type of game PoE is was fundamentally flawed. It's basically just a separate and more annoying version of maps right now.

#

The other leagues that I considered fun to play had less barriers to them, even though they had different serious flaws. Something like Legion fits well within the core design of the game. Even Harvest did in its own right. But Heist just feels like it's stapled to the game in an unnatural way, and even now 2 weeks in I just don't find it interesting. When I do them I just go through opening chests and then book it out as fast as I can. Were it not for the Heists often giving a ton of currency and certain other items, I can think of few reasons to actually do them after a certain point.

turbid remnant
#

Harvest feels like youre playing a completely different game

#

you go to rogue harbor, spend hours without interacting with any of the games usual content

#

could say delve is similar, except in delve you still kill monsters, and the gameplay loop feels similar

#

in heist you do shit thats complete opposide

#

backtracking, avoiding monsters

quiet sail
#

You don't really have to avoid anything at this point.

#

Harvest could be seen as a complement to other systems in the game though.

deft girder
#

If you are good at eyeing your alarm, you can avoid backtracking. Although not everyone can do it easily.

quiet sail
#

I also think Delve is an oddball, but I think they made it work. It's entirely possible Heist will get there, but it is a long ways off.

#

I'm not sure I will ever hate a league as much as I hate Blight though...

rigid stream
#

So you are Just a zoomer

#

Got it

quiet sail
#

How do you mean?

rigid stream
#

You probably also Hate Sirus cause He has phases and you have to Stop fighting for 20 seconds

quiet sail
#

I feel like there's no shortage of reasons to hate Sirus beyond the phase changes--which I don't mind.

deft girder
#

I only hate his off screen laser.

rigid stream
#

The thing is, heists are really rewarding and Take less time than a map.

#

If they are more rewarding, you are heavily juicing your Maps already

quiet sail
#

I would argue they have to be notably more rewarding, otherwise nobody would do them at all.

void wing
#

I don't think comparing heists to fully juiced top tier maps is a fair comparison.

deft girder
#

I hope the patch later would make it easier to burn all the contracts and have a good amount of marker.

uneven silo
#

they only fix one crash instance in the latest patch

#

i am afraid it won't make you hope to be true

rigid stream
#

You can easily get a 7c Profit per Low lvl contract right now and high lvl contracts give real items on top

uneven silo
quiet sail
#

Which is great, but it's still not fun content. It feels tedious. Even if they are faster, each Heist feels like it takes as long as 2-3 maps.

uneven silo
#

and it is just a small heist

#

and now i know why Ashblessed Warden look strong on enemy side but quiet stupi in my side

rigid stream
#

And thats the Thing, Not all Content is possible to be Fun for everyone

#

I for example hate Delirium

#

And Reddit is a very Bad metric to measure If something is fun or Not. Reddit detests everything

quiet sail
#

That I do understand. I just feel like I can see the value in other league mechanics, but Heist has me really struggling--beyond the point that they are incredibly lucrative.

#

Like I don't care for Incursion or whatever it is, but I get what Alva and the temple have to offer and where the value is in doing it. I hate Blight stuff, but I still do it because Blight maps give great rewards and I need those oils.

I mean it's almost the same number of steps, juicing is just slightly different.

Juicing allows more chests

Up to 30% less alert + 30% more lockdown time + 30% more packsize

With vinderi you now Open all the big chests and thats it

I dont know If He even works

#

well, and is it that the items get duped, or does the chest just give double rewards

rigid stream
#

The rewards fluctuate too much to notice

but I agree that some kind of indication of him proccing would be nice

#

same for trinket & brooch procs

About heist, what happens if you trigger lockdown before reaching the heist target?

rigid stream
#

You have 20 Seconds to get the target

torn isle
#

And if you don't?

still mural
#

If you fill the alarm bar? you get a timer (base ~20s, I believe, increases with Isla's perk and some rogue gear mods)

rigid stream
#

Modified by rogue Equipment

still mural
#

during that time you can open chests & the target case; each chest gives a time penalty

#

when time expires, all the chests & the target case lock and can't be opened

rigid stream
#

You start the Alarm, guards start appearing

torn isle
#

So you still get to keep all your loot regardless?

still mural
#

Tibbs/Niles can open a limited number of chests after time expires, but not the target case

#

Yes, if you escape with it you keep everything as normal; just don't get the target item (so no marker profit) and no XP for your rogue(s)

rigid stream
#

If you get Out, yes

#

Nothing short of dying and logging Out loses your loot

still mural
#

if it's a green quest contract then you'll have to get it again from another cache and do it again at some point, as you didn't successfully complete it

#

and it doesn't count towards the heist completion challenges

torn isle
#

was wondering if I could just sacrifice the target to rush chests instead, since some maps spawn with a crapload of chests, and getting random currency from chest is probably better than the heist target.

still mural
#

Yeah, you can

rigid stream
#

Yes thats possible

torn isle
#

also, assuming I can handle it, is it a good idea to farm security guards for rogue equipments? (since I think that's the only source of that?)

still mural
#

I generally try to kill the uniques I see on the way out, and often the rares, but I don't stay and farm multiple waves or anything

#

eventually they do stop dropping items, so keep an eye out for that if you do farm more

#

(and yeah, heist mobs are the only source of rogue gear)

rigid stream
#

They are alright for loot, nothing super Special though and fairly strong

torn isle
#

yes, but as noted, only source of rogue gear.
