I am already sad cause they shuffled div card locations
But yeah other stuff/meta, change it
what would be awesome is if each character you make gets its own atlas and set of tree configurations
but you cant look at it until you reach maps
life isn't fair - league
😄
motivation to learn the 1 hour 16 minutes to maps run that tytykiller was able to do
god tier efficiency'
even could be optimized
And me with twink gear doing it in 4-5 hours 
Sub 10 hours on no twink gear 😔
Unveil is more likely to be nerfed tbh. But i hope it wont
It's the only thing people want to slam
May just nerf veiled orbs to not get like 3 veiled mods on one item
unveil meta is pain
increase the odds for T3 and T4 plants pls
all i had were the harvest nodes, and i didn't get anything meaningful tbh so I might just not think about harvest too much next league
that would be cool wouldnt lie, but probly gonna have to be more rare kinda like a conq exalt or maven orb... they could give it to catarina as a dropp tho
veiled exalted orbs, wow good idea. more possibilities for crafting would be welcome
like... aisling slam
tbh this game already has way too many crafting mechanics
this would just be extending one that already exists
felt like rest of betrayal became kinda useless and uninteresting
so more choices from GGG could really help that
or GGG should focus on bringing each crafting method closer to each other
they cant
and its also not gonna work
cause even if all are the same
one is bound to be cheaper by cost/effort/availability wateer
and thats what ppl gonna use
also of u make many types of content give same/similar rewards
what be the point of the diff content when the end result is same
kinda wished metacrafting wasnt so expensive
well things may have been different if they didn't nerf harvest to the ground and "buff" Aisling
ez tiem travel back to harvest league
yeah
where splits were ez dupes for bases and the crafting was free
also harvest league kinda put essences back in ppls mind
yeah it is
that makes a lot of sense 
hillock qualities is probably great at league start in trade
might be worth do it without catarina then
How are the 5 5 2 2 people in 3.14? Is it still worthwhile?
Vorici ITF, Tora Vagan?
still viable but since leaders don't have double rewards anymore (when not running mastermind) it's not as rewarding
also there was a challenge to motivate ppl on doing mastermind
Riker (Blight scarabs) is a nice replacement for Vagan, whoever comes first
Yeah i know of the mastermind related challenges, but 5522 feels faster to churn stuff out once the board is set
aisling t4 was up to 7ex though, but still 5522 is quite alright
Wait what
I only reached 4 to 3 ex prices
end of league it was 3ex again, probably higher while not many ppl had it
40% chance the skulls on sticks generate floating in space, also wonder what the significance of them is
are those signboards using already known symbols?
Hillock quality is also good if you're leaning into a non chancable unique
The banners had bluewhite symbols did they
Hyped for next league, just got this leak of an item, made by Chris Wilson himself!
amazing
That reminds me that usually blue is associated with water... ⛵
pirate league??? xd
Pirate or not i just hope the mechanic isnt fight waves of mobs in a zone
Twice in a row is plenty
if it's not in circles it's a buff
looking at the teaser, atleast part of it looks like fighting mobs in a zone
maybe they come in waves or when you want to cash in a reward
i mean , poe is about fighting monster
many time it's "1 monster remaining" so I believe we are the monster
we are the monster in poe

do i need to link the omiman video again
we are the monster in poe
veritania be like
zana also monster
I'd speculated this new league will focus on the Ezomytes, in terms of like the lore and all that.
Is Einhar the only Ezomyte we know of
No; Grigor from Sarn town in Act 3 is also an Ezomyte.
Also the guy who writes the poems in Izaro's Labyrinth (and whose dead body you find in the room before the final fight) is an Ezomyte.
Also PoE2 Act 1 has Ezomytes in the Town area.
he has a nordic accent
one of the new npcs that doesnt have a NZ/AUS accent
oshabi is another
I checked on that but she calls herself from Azmeri?
maybe
Interesting
i actually didnt read her lore or pay attention to her
ive clicked on her once
i think i had to for challenge completion
she has 106 audio files 😄
you can pickup the accent if you listen to a few
Oshabi was part of the Azmeri group in Act 2. Gruest, Silk, Yeena.
Then Oshabi got kicked out after trying to sacrifice a kid for her Lifeforce thing, and Yeena took over the job of contacting the 'Spirit'.
Oh wtf wow didn't know her relation to A2
partner and I played PoE for the first time during harvest, but decided to play on standard for some reason 😆
So all I know about her was intro blurb and fight in Ritual
its hard to say waht the real world acccent is from but its not a nz/aus accent.
yeena has the same accent iirc
id have to heck
stay true, to you
yep
same accent
also she talks about weylam neat
holy shit yeena has 77 audio files?!?!
btw the conq have like 55 audio file each
and entire story told in there if oy listen to them
veritania slowly descending into hate of all things that arent her
Zana's dialogue for each tells a lot already which is nice
trialmaster has 637 audio files O_o
Once again wishful thinking, but it'd be nice if more dialogue is given to the playable characters once poe2 rolls in
He has a ton of congrats/fail lines iirc
Heard he even gives a genuine congrats if you succeed after a super long streak of failure
But yeah, also I speculate this League will deal with Ezomytes because of the light-blue glow and the runes etched on the skulls.
Kinda reminding me of the light-blue runes in PoE2 Act 1, and that takes place in an Ezomyte-related area.
maybe hes talking abotu the lightbringer the eldritch beings are scared of?
637 audio files tho is nutnty
nutty
i wonder if thats all diff languages too
ah there is 3 variations of every single t hing he says
this is my response to trialmaster after clapping his cheeks 23 times
Lightkeeper*
Also I dunno if that audio file is talking about the Lightkeeper specifically. It'd be odd for Atlas-related stuff to kinda spill out outside the endgame.
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3106179
There's some details about the specific entity here.
hmm
I don't actually recall PoE2 Act 1, haven't watched stuff about it in some time
Apart from that wurm boss and the graveyard boss
It would be nice to remind us of the Ezomytes and flesh them out more before that arrives
how'd you get voicelines from her already
hmm?
this is alal in the game files
if you have steam version
its been there forever
since december
Also, obligatory "But first, we need to talk about parallel universes" joke.
Oh wait stupid I thought it was the leader in PoE2 A2, mb it was legion's maraketh
We're getting closer and closer to this new league now
So aside from speculation, is there anyone you just want from an expansion that would be realistically possible for GGG to do?
i want a mix between heist and betrayal
auction house qol
do things in map mostly
and a separate area entirely
not one or the other
why i dont want betrayal 2.0 is cause its complex and bothersome to pay attention
Yeah, I think Betrayal is as complex as I'd like a PoE league to be. I think everything else should be simpler then it.
imagine if we could take all the existing masters with us into maps and stuff
one at a time of course unless there is a master mission there
i think einhar is best choice
since he buffs you
alva is probably good option if we get her MF aura
zana is garbage at combat theyh woudl need to give her a proper wand skill 😛
Unique Map where you do all 5 master missions when
I liked one suggestion where the 4 people represent different factions, and you work your way into the favor of what rewards/group you want
Like how Starcraft 2's Protoss Campaign gave you different units based on which factions you aligned with
In terms of rewards, its interesting that there hasnt been more interesting Ring and Glove Enchants, we only have Blight and Lab (if im not mistaken),
one league might bring those into the game eventually
Jewel enchants when
A fairly wild one, but exalts for Uniques to give them one more statline (aside from synth and corrupt implicits)
i would like to be able to bring Zana as a 2nd to any other master
thats all i wnat
rather sextant/ scarab/prophecy + device master can go together
Rotate masters when
giv tane and cassia as masters for atlas missions
they dont compare to masters tho
the content they are tied to is so watever compared to the masters 🙂
Less than 2 weeks to go and 0 hype, F
the very fact ur dum ass is here to check whats going on means there is some hype from ur side @sharp jewel
u wouldnt show up here if u werent interested in the new league would you now
omega big brain guys
come in here to meme
...
Mememorph and blight are much smaller in complexity than any of the master's contents
ye :S
tehy are device material
i guess u could only remove nico i guess and put him on device for a league
would be a cheeky way to enable deep delvers without the need to map rotation
and u could remove nico if 3.15 releases a main npc that is big
ye sure tru
No need for rotas
To just get sulphite and be fast cause of that Atlas passive 
tru
I’d love cassia as a master, blight is fun 
"Hoist The Colours" - song and scene from the beginning of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"
Hoist the Colours, sometimes written as Hoist the Colors, was a sea shanty known by all pirates across the Seven Seas. The song was related to the action of hoisting of a pirate's flag, though it was mainly used as a call to arms for the member...
Rotating masters could work, Oshabi is viable
I'd say just rotate whole league mechanics + make them more consistent
so like, only 5 or something can appear, but they appear more frequently
Yeah
Each league put lile 1/3 of the current event types
But put them to like 10-15% spawnrate
Would make every league feel much more different
Would also change the economy quite a bit and at the same time less having 40 fragments of 15 things
It That Visits Your Hideout
what are your predictions, on what random under powered skill they will buff this league that still will end up under powered?
Town portal
I think it's going to be reworks mostly
I kinda hope they buff traps honestly
seems like such a shame how they're completely overshadowed by mines
I've league started with ice trap and it seemed ok.
This now is the third league in a row where they hyped "skills" before the new league. Last two definitively fell flat in that regard.
Thats pretty much every league
Their only impactful changes to skills are nerfs
@rotund surge what do u mean
the new low life mechnaics and blood skills are cool
and used a lot
especially the low life rework
so they did sth correct prev league when it comes to skills 🙂 if u say they didnt u are delusional
Because it was accompanied by massive nerfs all around, AnD iF YOu dOn'T AgREe wITh mE You ARe DEluSionAL 
ahahhawhwhawh
what did they massive nerf
to make going low life okay
or to make any of the blood skills okay
What's with the ggg suckling on the server recently
do i need to link chrees wolcen vid again
I dont even mind falling for the same PR trap every time, i like getting hype and i will again this time
ill probably complain about one of the EGG or some conditional but ill play it
Meanwhile I'll hunt for which 4 I won't do and be on my way
I'd argue all of the new skills from patch saw success
exang was a hit right off the bat, same for corrupting fever
Reap took a while
idk what ppl are doing with petrified blood, I suppose it works
all the new skills were well designed and worked well
they need some more support on the skill tree imo
The pdot ones were very cluster reliant for growth right
Reap's dot is practically irrelevant compared to exsang
and exsang hit the dot soft cap of 1-2M without clusters on budget gear
Glacial hammer getting numeric buffs until 8000% effectiveness
Yeah reap and exsang are definitely weak skills for dot
Which is quite unfortunate given how cool they are visually
Wish they'd put more ignite stuff on the tree and nerf the ignite clusters, same with the new pdot stuff
But but but that would make them accessible
Farm A6 twilight strand until you have half a dozen clusters on league start day or bust
Oh man that would never fly after the rage over seeding in delve
PoE Roguelite?
I'd love that
That would be interesting for a league i will admit
No tree
Just a choice between 3 nodes every level

Keystone at level 25 50 75 100
uh that would kill the game 
Could be nice for a PoE1 goodbye league, or event month
or a new ascendancy
vaal fanatic
somethign fun for the nutters that like leveling up
YES haha
No choice pure random and you have to make the best of it 
March of the legion nerf inc?
why?
id say major notable every 5, keystone every 25 (with an option to skip the keystone in place of XYZ)
would totally be fun
time to let viper know lol
Krangled league
what if this is the league where they test out socketed gems ;p
Gems within gems
its not a meme
its coming
they told us @ exilecon
and showed us examples of how it works in their test poe
orly?
yes
sec
wat are you on about
ahhh interesting
i am looking forward to this the most
even more than the new story
which im sure ill enjoy once then just speed run it as usual
they wont test it before?
i would play this
2 more days you mean 10 more days 😄
when is new league
Or the "we want each weappn base type to feel different" thing
@maiden coral that could be neat. Like drastically diff speeds and damage or implicits ?
Just watched the Poe2 Act 2 Gameplay Demo recently, it was how Spears would have benefits for weaving in and out of combat, Crossbows have different types of Bolts and shit
No idea how they'll do that for hammers vs maces vs staffs and what not but yeah
Iirc, Claws could be used for unarmed?
yeah like in other games
that would be nice, if swords and axes had very different feels
everything about the new ways equipment, at least weapons, differ, makes me look forward to poe 2 more
claws being usable for unarmed is some good shit too
wonder if they'll address self cast vs other types of casting (mines/brand/totem/slinger/etc) down the line, like how 2H, Dual Wield, 1H + Shield have different benefits
I think the 16th will be a character reveal (as there was clearly a small group of characters shown at the end of the teaser). Not sure what the reveal on the 17th will be.
dude stop
What?
its not characters. its npcs. they are not controllable but us
Do you know what "NPC" stands for?
nvm i somehow read your comment as playable character
hottake: Power Up league.
every old league mechanik gets a new upgrade
Ritual gets ritual maps(what we saw in the trailer
Heist gets 3 new thieves and more BPs (we saw the npcs in the trailer.)
and every other league mechanik gets a buff/rework too
I do like that 3.13 and 3.14 breathed life into old stuff, if they'll continue that path with other systems or keep improving the same end game systems
They need to remove leagues or put them in a cycle not add more.
They're going to add new eyes obviously, at least two sets of them
as you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes
of course, that's what we all said during Metamorph League too
There's 4 npcs, that's 4 sets of eyes 
icy hot take: ggg shakes up the metagame by replacing item drops with item pulls
...gatcha?
if you die in softcore one of your equipped item is destroyed
the promised meta shakeup
patch notes:
- Cast On Critical Support now has a fixed internal cooldown of 0.5 seconds
- Cyclone functions the same but no longer has the "channeling" tag
- Characters are limited to up to one of each type of golem
end of patch notes
that's the joke, yes
-We've flipped ascendancies to the opposite end of the passive tree
- delve goes sideways
Necromancer Duelist
First 3 hours of league this mechanic actually duplicates your equipped item instead of deleting it so tryhards get their usual early league currency buff
Honestly that would be great
This would be nuts both ways. The QoL from Raider on that side of the tree + Inquis Regen with the dodge and crit nodes of that side
100% crit flaskless with stupid regen, ele avoid, acro, phase acro, wind dancer. LMAO
would actually make reap with occultist work
i love that PoE allows for such variety, but I hate when the obvious thematic choice just doesn't work. When I saw reap I was fanboying at the idea of occultist reap but then realized there's no way to convert phys dot to chaos dot and occultist doesn't scale bleed/phys dot at all
Just like I was pissed that Battlemage doesn't actually enable a spellsword playstyle
I have a hard time finding cool flavorful builds in this game
I guess that's what I have last epoch for
yea the game development progressed down the path of loot and not combat. The current meta revolves around minimizing the time you spend actively attacking (unless cyclone) because you need to stand still to attack and standing still is death. It's all about passive dps. Minions, dot, totems/mines/traps
hope the meta change is around combat itself, not simply replacing skillgem x with skillgem y as the meta
triggered green spell vomit is no different than triggered blue spell vomit. That's not a meta shakeup to me.
they'll eventually have to come around to rebalancing damage vs defense
not just that but also balancing playstyle. The traditional rpg combat tropes are that melee do the most damage at the drawback of taking more damage where ranged do less damage but are more mobile and safe. In poe, everything does all of the damage so there's literally no drawback in playing a ranged concept (attack, spell, or minion) vs melee. melee is all downside
all the discussions about needing to re-balance gameplay, always boil down to slowing the game down, because then a single ability can have more impact. They said they want to slow down poe2, but chris said in the spoilers last league that players will always find a way to speed up anyway.
dont forget
poe endgame = poe2 endgame
so in the end both gamemodes need the same "speed"
yes, but that does not mean "current poe endgame = poe2 endgame"
but it does mean if they slow down poe 2 they will also slow down poe1
I mean poe2 will "eat" poe1, if poe2 comes out, the only thing left from poe1 as standalone will be the campaign. They also said they wanted to reduce loot and find a solution for flasks in poe2, but it will be seen how much of that is going to be true when poe2 comes out.
nah i doubt that
liek when i said the engame is the same i meant that
PoE1 characters can't play through the PoE2 campaign or vice versa
once your character reaches endgame the content will be shared
it will be more like 2 different playstyles
As I understand it, you creat a new char and then you can choose what campaign you want to play poe or poe2 and you can't switch between these campaigns once you have chosen. But once poe2 is released and updates the mechanics of the entire game (what ever these updates will be) you will also play the original poe campaign with these mechanical updates.
ohhh ok
Basically a legacy campaign option for a new game
Entire game slowing down would mean a ton of revamping of old league content, good luck to them
They have shown that they could do it when the reworked Hillock. Since now you only get hit where he swings his sword and you can dodge the swing. They only did this updates for the early campaign bosses, but mechanically thats a modern take on rpg combat.
But I also don't think they will do it, because it would change how poe plays in a massive way. Changing the identity of poe is a risk, why take the risk. However I'm certain they could rework combat if they wanted to do it, that they have the capacity and they also know how they could achieve it.
Tbh they kinda have to if they want to make poe2 slow
having a large speed boost because you're now in endgame would be strange
In the Q&A for poe2 in ritual, they said they want to find a solution for the Flask-system, and then they show an graphic update for the Flaskbar in the poe2 ultimatum trailer and didn't mentioned anything about Flaks changes, even thought the entire Chat spammed about it.
That is why I keep my expectations low, that we really are going to see massive changes.
it was just a graphic update, could be that they're still working on the update's inner workings, or don't want to disclose it yet
But fair point, no point in keeping hopes up
But on regards to speed
It would be so jarring if endgame continues with the current speed
poe2 gameplay video showed you weaving in and out of combat with your spear or playing smart with what bolt type to use
and then endgame you go in and you just... one shot packs? what was the point of the in and out combat throughout the acts then
Its just a trailer, played to make it look cool and like it has a modern rpg play style.
If the poe2 campaign is released and people had some time to optimise it, there is a high chance you will be as fast clearing it as you are in the current campaign.
They did say that it should roughly take the same time as poe1 i think, but who knows if its based on who's perspective
Fast clearing the acts is fine if its via skipping quests/packs smartly, but if levelling builds get to the point they can clear packs without care it kinda makes the slowing down and combat revamp moot if we'll be back to fast map clears of old
If I'm remembering correctly, they said controversial stuff about the length. First they said, the campaign in it itself would be shorter and then in the ultimatum q&a chris said the player would need around the same time to finish the campaign.
Unfortunately not much we can do but wait for all the questions to be answered
Is fun speculating though
That's strange huh
if they don't slow down endgame then PoE2 will be boring bloat just like PoE1 endgame
I hope this doesn't happen
but the fast gameplay is whats enjoyable about poe
Most of PoE's problems come from the fact that PoE is too fast in my opinion.
- Seemingly random oneshots /shotguns
- Visual clutter because too many mobs and effects
- Gameplay is braindead because you oneshot packs
- 5 FPS because too much going on too fast.
...
The gameplay you see in PoE trailers is always pretty slow and controlled and looks really fun. And then when you play the game it's something else entirely
I personally always enjoy myself up to yellow maps, and then things get messy, my FPS starts to drop, etc. and then the game just gets a bit boring for me.
That's the paradox
He game ended being something it was never designed to be through scope creep
and we are forced to play Wolcen-Like
where u use multiple spells in a rotation to clear the packs
there would be a fukin shitstorm towards ggg for ruining the zoomies gameplay
and easyness of poe
am lowkey willing to even bet money on that ...
o trust me they would
if i ever quit poe
it would be cause that
That's why I think they're changing the game extremely gradually
zoomy gameplay is the reason why most people play
i do not want to rotation clear packs ... i like my one button builds 🙂
if i wanted fukin rotations id have sticked to mmos
or actually played wolcen or so
you will not have an actual MMO rotation lol
shit like ed/c is barely tolerable because its strong as shit
poe gameplay is so smooth when u set everything up its so comfy and enjoyable
u dash and rmb
dash
rmb
so fkin enjoyable
Multiple button builds would be so much more fun without the flask rotation
Imagine playing Slam build in current PoE you already have 3 warcries, 1 slam, 1 movement skill, 1 guard skill, maybe frenzy or whatever the hell else. It won't be very different from that, I can't imagine
lol
group skill > debuff skill > damage attack > damage attack > dash
that is already too much for me
also the slam rotations you do between packs or right after attacking
I am sure you will still be able to Dash -> RMB -> Dash -> RMB. The cool thing about PoE2's skill system is that you can for example have 1 clear skill and 1 single target skill, that's how I understood it. idk though
it is not an on pack rotation
there is a clear distinction between preparing for attack
and standing 2-3 sec facing the mobs unleashing ur skills
i hope that never becomes THE way to play
I could see that happen for rare or boss monsters
Yes. This. I think I would enjoy a poe build that has around 4 Ability's I have to use (but not spam), similar to a moba. But every build already starts with the 5 Button flask piano.
Archmage?
I just want the game to be less out of control
get rid of all the power creep and non-existent balancing
I just want the actual name of the league to be unreleased
what do you mean perhaps
maybe 45 minutes of chrreees wolcen fishing
Whole content revealed but not league name 
and then 3more seconds of teaser at the end
if poe's tweets are anything to go by
we won't get the league name until ThisIsBadger figures out what he said
they really boosting his views.
wahts weird is
his discord isnt exploding with discussion
just a few lines
I'm trying to get it going 
im just gonna wait for the announcement
League name revealed on end of league day
You play the whole league as ??? League
And the ones who guess it right win a weta pet
lol
Toucan.
more toucan(s) would change the meta a lot!
one cannot but toucan
maybe we are gonna get the RNG league.
after all... this is PoE
No tw drops
a dredmor-flavoured league would be amazing
So obviously going to be named Suffering
There are some other big reveals contained within the livestream that you are likely not expecting.
poe2 beta sign up and info? :p
I'd wager PoE mobile or royale
Good catch didnt see this
they hinted toward royale before ultimatum start
Trevor mobile fall guy will be in stream then ?
I really want PoE mobile. I just can’t find anything mobile that holds my attention on my iPad.
problem with PoE mobile is that they don't really know what they want the core gameplay loop to be
it can't just be PoE ported to mobile, too much input required
Your suffering soon ends
How far will violence take you?
One liners on their twitter, cant see how the two intersect
they heavily hinted towards suffering being the name of the league, wonder if it's a jebait
Interpreting the violence line as there being other methods aside from violence, like negotiation or something
I don’t think it’s jebait
Suffering soon ends
QoL league :templarLul: :templarLul:
What is royale?
nerf notes come out, no more sufferring from better or worse skills
a couple of years ago, they did PoE royal as an april fool's for some time
Oh you mean Poe battle royale?
and it was exactly that, you'd find gear and gems
That sounds like a terrible idea lol
balance was… questionable but it was fun for a little while
it was pretty functional for something thrown together last minute, but yeah it wasn't balanced at all
ranger op
bows were hilariously overpowered
Give Spellbreak a check @indigo wolf
For a spellbased game, the playerbase wanted it very mobility based for some reason
Its not so hot rn, but its nice, havent played in half a year or something
Yea
Not like there are queues anymkre
“Your suffering soon ends” better mean “we’re adding quality of life so your wrists don’t hurt anymore”
@hoary snow hahahhahahhahahahahaha
If your right
I'll buy both supp packs even if I hate th
don't really believe we'll see any improvements to that
Sadly
but ggg can prove me wrong, hate using flasks
Imagine if flasks are gone
Imagine if flasks could be automated.
And now you can only use one skill
I like flasks 
Imagine if currency could be automatically picked up
They are too powerful to remove them
You have to feel the weight of currency
"weve deleted pathfinder"
Imagine a gambit system like ff12
When they say "change the meta-game" I hope it means less trash on the ground and deletion of ID scrolls
85% chance This guy https://twitter.com/pathofexile/status/1415443050281664512 owns this ring https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Tecrod's_Gaze
Fear not, exile. Your suffering soon ends.

That's a jewel, not a ring
Also, I think it'd be odd to have a character from this league own an Abyss item when Abyss is a different league
also
leagues don't overlap
they all start at the "same" place storywise
i.e. leagues not sequel to other leagues
ring jewel, words
You could bend that rule a bit, harvest got new harbinger stuff
Harbinger items or harbinger lore?
Both, since the new items got new lore
Alright then. Still feels different to me then introducing a new character though.
we have 3 liches and 4 lich jewels, this dude looks pretty lichey; ergo, that's Tecrod.
(and new parts of the harbi alphabet if i remember right)
a delve only boss owns an abyss item btw
lich is more of a plot device than a mechanic in this case
would be funny if they launch poemobile and its some fully integrated shit with current league
new boss fukin pog
they said poe mobile would be a separate entity
Last minute prediction what GGG is going to absolutely going to be buttering up this league?
Buttering up implies improve, so nothing
Texture streaming is still going to be shit
Gonna be even more shit*
Yup
They literally make it worse every league
Poe2 texture streaming will be so good the game will be literally unplayable
Ikr, just preload everything
Hopefully they don't fuck up launch
we just need a video of riding on the back of a bunch of undead strapped together in the form of a dragon
Hopefully d4 is good enough to shake things up and last epoch releases.
lovely
now just need a marauder riding on the back holding a lance
Nice
I know it is an unpopular opinion, but I think D4 is looking good.
So long as blizz dont work their magic on the game and make it a hot mess im fine with d4
It would of course have less content, but why would it be worse besides that?
If d3 is anything to go by
I doubt they'll be able to pump out new content every 3-6 months
From things like 3.14 to proper expansions
Honestly don't know why people hate on the end version of d3 so much. Yes the original release was shit. Yes the graphic style was a strange choice. But the combat was good. D3 was designed as casual arpg and I think it was a good game if you played it like that.
D3 finally got something new added to it for it's new season, but it's been maybe 2 years since proper content was added
99% of the time nothing changes in d3
Lots of people play it for a day or two and then quit until next season
Yeah, it has little content, but the content it has is good. Like I already said, besides the lack of content, I don't see why D4 has to be bad.
It's a bit early to make a decision on d4 being good or not, for sure
Last epoch gives you a fucking dinosaur if you're a summoner
I'm wondering if they'll even be able to keep it alive with how they run their games
Poe doesn't have dinosaurs
The combat is better in d3 then in poe, in my opinion, while zoom zoom is "fun" it is not as fun as combat in an arpg can be.
Imo they need to take ideas from ggg
Last epoch has way better combat than poe
hard disagree about last epoch having better combat than PoE, the unity engine or whatever they're using feels wildly inappropriate for an ARPG and the skill design is hilariously unpolished, it's a good game because the devs are ambitious and willing to try new and weird approaches to the genre, not because it's some technical marvel
like full stop, I think Wolcen of all games has better combat than Last Epoch, even though that feels mean to say, because I like Last Epoch a hell of a lot more than Wolcen, and it's obvious the LE devs care a lot more about actually making a good ARPG
I'd actually go so far as to say combat is the single worst aspect of last epoch, it feels like your character is in a permanent state of t-posing, floating around mashing buttons that spawn death sparkles, while enemies spontaneously combust at your approach
the only builds I've played in last epoch where I managed to get around that nasty "floating" feel to combat were summoners (where it doesn't really matter, it's not your character hitting things) and channelled skills (where floatiness is expected and sometimes even desirable, not weird and offputting)
PoE only (relatively) recently finished implementing the last piece of the puzzle necessary to fix that, when they made the actual animations for attacks match the hitbox 1:1 -- I forget when exactly they did it, but that change is the entire reason you can dodge hillocks attacks by circling around him in one direction, but not the other, and small details like that are huge for combat to not feel bad
the main thing PoE is lacking relative to D3 is seamlessness, I'm not really sure how GGG could fix that though, as the problem seems mostly caused by a difference of design philosophies, D3 makes practically everything it can instant cast with a short cooldown (and in many cases zero cooldown), while GGG does the exact opposite (example: if you think you're getting multiple charges on frostblink you better keep dreaming kid, somebody might use that for damage and we can't risk actually making it viable)
slam skills with warcries are actually the perfect example of that, if something like earthshatter champion was a build in Diablo 3, all of the warcries would be instant cast, and the devs would find some other way to balance it relative to other builds (probably with a 1000% damage modifier somewhere, let's be honest) instead of balancing via negative-QoL
the sparkling purple skill looked nice on the phone
like pyroclast mines
2 sparkling purplies
1st one kinda like homing blazing salvo
2nd one like infernal blow
yeah I think Last Epoch combat is dogshit
but all the systems are just great
and let's be real PoE combat sucks
running in a circle and hitting RMB every once in a while is not exactly great combat
So best guess for what Raiz says ppl will get hella mad over tonight?
My money is on Harvest getting removed entirely
i'm willing to bet that it's going to be something extremely arbitrary
like no longer giving scrolls for coins
except on a much larger scale
They way he said it makes me think it relates to a hot button topic on reddit
I find this funny; because Harvest was removed entirely in Heist Leauge and people weren't rioting over that
harvest in it's initial implementation sucked ass though
hard to get mad over losing something a lot of players hated
it wasn't actually enjoyable to use until the rework in ritual league
But Reddit is basically a anti-GGG circlejerk cesspool atm. I literally found someone circlejerking about the '40 gems buffed' thing that didn't even know what patch that was [He said it was Ultimatum...]
Well yeah they didn't buff 40 gems in Ultimatum. Because they said that about Ritual
Really; seeing Witch has been by far the most popular character for multiple years now; I'm forseeing nerfs targeting Witch; her region of the passive trees, her ascendancies...
It was still true. 40 gems were buffed. Some quite significantly
No, it's not true
Just you can buff Heavy Strike to the moon it's still heavy strike
It wasn't 40 skills
the 40 skills being buffed literally wasn't even supposed to be hyped, chris just saw the change and was like "why isn't this being hyped? everybody look!!" meanwhile the devs actually responsible for the changes were like ".. chris, please, stop"
Buffs
Nah; I went and counted. 40 gems [not skills; 38 skills and 2 supports] were buffed
@fast crest yeah, but it only turned into a reddit circlejerk after they brought it back and then nerfed it. Removing it entirely now would certainly fit the bill of what he's describing 
It was mostly nerfs
And quality changes
Do I need to list them?
"Nothing was changed, they over promised" is a meme tbh
I mean; the tweet was literally 'we have buffed over 40 gems'. Not 'we have made 40 gems OP'
community expectation =/= not what GGG was saying
in a strict sense; 40 gems were buffed.
chris is an unreliable source when it comes to patch note hype because he's not really involved in the process anymore and hasn't been for ages
Chris said it on stream, tweet doesn't matter much
Just like 'Bow Leauge'; it's another example of GGG says something; community hypes; community dosen't get what it blew out of expectation
GGG never said they were buffing Bows; only updateing them
community assumes bows will be OP after slams/Archmage ect. And Ritual
I mean some of the buffs are minor [EG: 10% more conversion on a gem] but are still buffs. Some are pretty big tho; like Frost Bomb got higher base; +100% damage effect and +7 radius
chris overhyped it by saying that 40 gems have been reworked in the trailer
yeah he wouldnt have said so if it wasnt 40
And the community hyping things beyond what they're told
community wants bad skills to be good nothing wrong with that
But as I said; it dosen't matter how much you buff Heavy Strike; it's heavy strike still. No-one's gonna play it
when they can Cyclone
or Bladestorm
ect
It's not about numbers it's about ease of use, people will play what's smoothest to use
Yeah if we talk about buffs like +0.4 to wo duration, I wouldn't even call it a buff

I mean it is a buff; it's +33%
after nerfing it alot and then buffing it a little i agree

I never understood bladestorm, like how does someone enjoy it?
saying it's 'not a buff' is just factually false
they nerf static strike then buff it next league can u say its a buff
Out of those 10 maybe are actually meaningful
bending the truth to fit a narritive
The rest is garbage
buffs are buffs; meaningful or not
just like nerfs are nerfs; meaningful or not
How trash they are
"I don't play it/it's not meta" has never rly been a good basis to dismiss a numeric buff, tbh
it felt like they did those random number shifts just to reach big number
Just for rounding purposes
i hope the phys dot gets built upon
Just be careful not to tell GGG that with specifically PHY DoT that Ascendant can out-More Damage Berzerker
[She can get 45% with Zerker+Glad; with only 5% increased taken as opposed to 10%]
1.25 * 1.15 = 1.4375% (edit: also 25 + 15 is 40, how did you get 45 lol), you don't add the numbers together, and I kinda doubt GGG cares honestly
1 ascendancy node vs basically your entire ascendancy
It's still an offensive thing that Ascendant is actually best at.
Not something common
ascendant is probably supposed to be the phys dot archetype anyways
Just saw the Raiz clip 👀 am worried on how true his statement holds
what raiz clip?
Try again, I butchered it with < > ||
It's no leak
Well, unless you think how he expects the playerbase to react is a leak
ok I will watch then 🙂
ohhhh uh oh
well at least it sounds like its actually a big shakeup
big shakeups can make people mad but they can make things fun again as well
Time will tell how long we'll adjust to it yeah
a lot of people have their builds they want to play every league and when they have to try something new they get mad
I want to try something new, I play different builds every league so I am open to a big shakeup
Inb4 the mystery character in that latest league tease picture is a char who was cut from Fall of Oriath.
In this case, the Corpse Queen.
God I hope they finally make the heist stash an actual stash tab!
I will gladly pay a couple bucks for it
Not a fan of the Heist Locker hideout item?
the lack of auto-sorting to the heist locker is both irritating and confusing
No Twitch drops?
nope.....would rather have it in my main stash
I want to ctrl click into it just like everything else
and use affinities
Unfortunately none
when the league ends and stashes get merged, all your heist locker stuff gets tossed into your main stash as remove-only tabs, so it's clearly not that far removed from being an actual stash tab as-is, the lack of ctrl-click / affinities is just dumb
My guess would be they have it all ready to go but are just waiting for the heat from the other league tabs to die down
which everybody seems to have forgotten about, so I am hoping this league
there's no reason for a paid heist stash tab, because all of the functionality you could want from it should just be how it works by default
tbh if they nuke cyclone it'll probably not be directly that but an interaction to CoC triggers
You mean you think it should just be a free tab?
I would not be surprised if they nerfed the hit rate on cyclone by like 50%-75% and doubled the hit damage, just to make it less appealing for CoC
as a melee skill it's still far and away the best but that's more because it takes zero investment to get going compared to +2 strike gloves or tribal fury+however many travel points said strike skill has to go out of its way
@junior belfry I think the existing heist locker should be compatible with tab affinities
For that to happen they would need to move it into the main stash
no they wouldn't, you just think it would because you can't imagine how it would work otherwise
how are you thinking? you ctrl click into your main stash and it just goes into the heist stash?
ctrl+click heist items while looking at your regular stash, have heist affinity set to your heist locker, poof, items go to the heist locker, like magic
yeah that is possible, personally I would still rather have it in my main stash, but that is a personal preference
Misfits League
My terrible prediction: GGG adds mercinaries to the game and those are the 3 people at the end of the teaser
equipping the heist chars is enough 🙈
make heist char have 1 equipment slot instead of 4 🙂
the system is complex enough on its own. There was never a need for us to have to gear up the members Imo
We need like 10 more gear slots obv
Right glove, left glove, right boot, left boot. Pants. We dont have pants!
metashake up is splitting body armor into chest (3 prefixes) and pants (3 suffixes) ofc
Get ready to see your vaal regalias cut in half
League name is obv No Pants Path of Exile: No Pants
crafting league
What on earth would we hate so much
I think I'm more afraid than happy about new league already
Maybe the league will include changes to past content, much like what Ultimatum league did for rewards from past content?
that might be what the "meta-changing" thing is
ritual tackled past content somewhat, ulti did rewards
tbh im kinda thinking a systemic revamp of something else
I always hope that they do stuff with old content that shakes it up. So it doesn't feel like a pain to decide what to do
but yeah. it is
could be combat, could be flasks, inventory, who knows
But part of me thinks it's a revamp of something aside from content
Yes, could be naval combat, could be pirate peg flasks, could be barrels for storing stuff in ships. 
everything boat related is fine
, everything else 
We trading actual goods now, Tradewinds 2 style 
haha
This is super farfetched a prediction, but what if the league introduces the new skill gem system showed off in PoE2?
thought about that too, but I'd say they still want to wait to hype PoE2 more
Same, would be dope tho
yep
Assuming PoE2 does have more than just the gem changes, I think that wouldn't be what they will ship ahead to lessen the "omg everything is changing" feel we will get
possible
the main reason I don't think we're gonna get the new gem system until PoE 2, even if it's ready right now
would be because they need to migrate all existing standard data over to the new system
it's an absolutely massive undertaking, not something they could just throw together over the weekend
Fair point, yeah.
They'd have to figure out what to do with Fusing Orbs too since the new skill gem system would make them obselete.
I do hope that they're ayt with this league's launch and the character transfers - that's what caused the issues with Ultimatum's queues if i'm not mistaken
🗑️ put them here
Zizirare items. Whenever a ziz character dies, everyone gets a zizirare drop.

Iirc, fusings will be converted back into jewelers at a rate
Also fun that it'll be chromatic in the main line of currency progression (trans > aug > alt > etc)
4 HOURS, EXILES
WHO ELSE IS GOING CHOO-CHOO ON THE HYPE TRAIN?!?!?!?!
HOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE
no twitch drops 😦
still scared
top1 is techinically right. 2nd has a point 3rd idk economy in shambles?
if they dont like it and have a legitimate reason about it, I never minded, but if they just become a cesspool looking for attention, the subreddit can go to the devil, along with all the children that never grew up in it
guess i just never looked at it then
welp, 10 mins to go
there are uh, spoilers in the pathofexile.com/livestream CSS
something something badge header
wow, there are a lot of spoilers in this css
Please, get ready to spam about flasks in the q&a, thanks 
wellll
Here we go :D
Now I'm expecting something about Flasks after that answer
Wow I completely forgot it was now and almost missed it, if it wasn't for the server ping...
I'm leaving this chat now because I'm worried that you guys will be a few seconds ahead and spoil me on what's ahead
that exalt line still makes me believe that the theme song for PoE is Bastille's Pompey
because WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
Honestly, I need to see the trailer like 3 times
This looks complicated!
Aww, that's what it was. That's actually a name I thought would be perfect for a league awhile ago, but didn't think of it for this one.
i cant watch the live stream, so im counting on you guys to give me the play-by-play
oh my god
Legion 2.0
that looks tedious af
Expedition League. Looks like 3 factions are trying to find secrets about Wraeclast's past by using explosives to breach into archeology sites. Summoning monsters in the process and gettings relics.
looks like harvest but instant returns
Make your Own circle League
"Ancient Kalguran explorers"
So it sounds like "Kalguran" is going to become a new culture added in PoE's lore.
watching the stream
Kalgurans might be related to Poe2
1k splinter stacks.....okay
and some monsters are ||Immune to certain types of damage like physical||
Oh great, gambling
ughhh
"average man" obese af
Sounds fun league!
I wonder if he's voiced by Danny DeVito
trash unique npc
Oh great, a chance orb vendor
legion meets delve? lol
do all of the npcs have their own currency?
Yeah
LMFAO that’s what I was thinking
LUL ggg always adding new trash currencies
Oh great, another locker
i mean, i loved legion personally
at least with affinity
Better a new locker then a new stash tab
How much y’all wanna bet the explosions causes a bunch of crashes?
especially the 5-way fight.
But delve was kinda zzz to me.
Oh hello
infinite delve was ❤️
That portal tho
Something that is like a new form of map
This looks sick and holy shit that portal
what the fuck
That portal animation is sexy
the models/animations are definitely good
I really like the mechanics, but I think I would've preferred if this had a pirate theme instead of a necromacy theme
no loot filter 
What is this Ward
The portals 🥵
What's the site for the expansion? http://www.pathofexile.com/expedition doesn't work
Oh the stream crashed.....
New Def. Now it gets sexy
its like armor but better nvm 5sec cooldown LUL
stream fine for me
Oh I’m a bit behind lol
It's basically a scaling wind dancer
I’m going from the poe website
battlemage helm without crits
Isnt ward what evasion already is
Isn't the ward value really low though?
It basically reduces one hit every so often?
yeah
Yeah 1 hit every 5 sec
why would I get ward if I could just stack more evasion
to tank that 1 hit every 5 secs
Seems like a good fit for eva chars? But 5 seconds seems like a long time
Why not rework old gems, like Viper Strike?
For when your character fails to evade a boss hit
I guess if you already have too much evasion
But there’s gear that reduces the time
Oh there is? I msised it
I think there is
the helm had 20% faster recharge, so assuming the rest of the set can get similar mods
because now you can (probably) stack multiple def layers on one item
I'm ready. Give me these gems
19 new skill and support gems 
Slam totem oh my god
Oh that's what we needed. More slam support
