what build you're playing in poe now? melee is great this league but caster has always been OP

#

as for summon builds, it's my least favorite of all arpg existed

#

simply hate AG and spectres

sand wigeon
#

yeah i don't see summons played SUPER often in poe. holy sigil is around ig

#

golems are a joke tho

hexed stream
#

I hate the concept that a skill requires expensive things to use, and even then you can lose them in a fight

fierce moth
#

Fireball + blight to clearing maps, detonate dead + blight for bosses

#

Don't figure out how to use another skills well yet

sand wigeon
#

yeah some skills combo

#

my build this league is just one attack skill with defensive layering options

#

you don't necessarily NEED to run multiple damage skills. some builds like it tho

#

i was playing a ci ephemeral edge frost blades trickster, which means nothing to you kirra, but might be relevant to minimap

#

i have about 210 hours myself, so i'm somewhat new

gregory Done act 1 and start act 2! The game is quite fun

good job! you beat the hardest part of the game (excluding endgame t17's.)

oh well then I meet the server connection issue and it stop me to keep playing...Good reminder to take a shower and have a good rest after play poe 3hBee

I keep opening this page once I open Chrome everyday but I never check them out because no power drive me to do ๐Ÿ˜†

I don't get why necromancer is act as a sorcerer more than a summoner in D4 even it's a necromancer ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

tawny sand

season 6 sounds pretty fun so far, hope it is

#

for d4 i mean

#

watching the campfire chat

#

i guess i should check out season 5, but i was gonna check out Witchfire maybe

#

and season 5 only has a few days left anyway

junior oyster
#

Season 5 is over

#

Or at least I thought it was

tawny sand
#

oh okay, i thought it ended on the 6th or something

junior oyster
#

I mean I could be wrong

#

I didn't check myself

#

But coming from D3 they would usually end season like a week before new season or something

fierce moth
#

@gilded elm lol. Received the respond for my application of that job just now... Yeah no surprise ๐Ÿ˜†
๐Ÿ™ Hope that people who EHG had selected bring us more impressive environment designs of course.

Such a pity that I can't know who's EHG selected for this job, I want to check out works from this people to learn something

Unfortunate, but expected. Tech hiring has been very competitive these past few years, especially for entry-level positions. Your best bet is to continue to improve your portfolio and keep applying to as many other companies as you can, you have nothing to lose by applying. Many entry-level candidates go through hundreds of applications before even being considered for an interview. Just keep trying, there's tons of game dev studios.

thorn nacelle
# tawny sand for d4 i mean

it should be!
Noticed they added many Wow futures into D4.
its going to be arpg-mmoarpg in the end. D3,D4,WoW,bit of LE thats diablo 4 nowdays. D2 i didnt add it extra cause the runewords they posted are not runewords.

sand wigeon
#

I mean. I think itโ€™ll be an MMO in the sense Destiny 2 is an MMO, which is โ€œnot really.โ€ They did consult Destiny 2โ€™s team at Bungie, after all.

hexed stream
hexed stream

we don't even know the next few wow expansions to know its future

We know a bit

hexed stream

well if only someone could tell me btc future

fierce moth

Basic requirement for working in a game studio: You're passionate at their games. gregory

Well... Maybe I even don't play their games yet ๐Ÿ˜‚

hexed stream
sand wigeon

the d4 devs are clearly passionate about d4

itโ€™s just a shame they work in one of the worst work environments

I can't refund active nodes so only one chance to select which node is the next one I want to active?

oh I don't know where Kingmarch is even so it means the game don't allow me to refund points yet

hexed stream
#

league location, only this league has

indigo shadow
#

are we seriously in POE 2? or is that 1?

hexed stream
#

poe2 is next month

indigo shadow
#

Nooooo. I want my Vessel of Hatred first

gilded elm
#

VoH is only a few days away, there's over a whole month until PoE2 so should be plenty of time

hexed stream
#

what I'm actually amazed is how so many people are still very engaged in s5, like, judging the amount of contents d4 has, wtf are they engaged in

#

even as content rich as poe, I can never think of possibility to keep myself engaed for more than 1 month

narrow token
#

people are weird.

tawny sand
#

VoH Oct. 7th / 8th, PoE2 Nov. 15th

#

so there's plenty of time

#

I think PoE2 is nov. 15th anyway

hexed stream
#

and d4, why is it inflated to 133gb already

#

prolly my 1st ever game above 100gb installation size

tawny sand
#

did you install the high res textures?

#

i disabled them

gilded elm
#

You probably have High Resolution textures installed, they get installed by default.

#

Don't need it though unless you are playing at 4K or downsampling 4K

tawny sand
#

yeah

#

mine's 72.9 tho, is vessel of hatred that big?

#

i think the original was 40gb no?

hexed stream
#

I play at 2k ultrawide, so it's kind of weird place, the basic texture is only 1080p max

hexed stream
gilded elm
#

The normal textures should be 1440p

hexed stream
#

they did say ingame that basic texture is for 1080p max

gilded elm
#

Which option are you reading?

hexed stream
#

texture
it's either 1080p or 4k, no in between

gilded elm
#

None of this says the non-high res assets are limited to 1080p. It's even implying that 1440p textures are included in the base textures.

hexed stream
#

I don't even see anywhere such implication, in fact I understand opposite

gilded elm
#

High Res = 4k textures for Ultra quality.

#

Which means that even 4k textures for up to "High" quality are inclued in the base textures.

#

It's there in plain English.

hexed stream
#

also, all the reddit posts say that if you have a monitor of 2k and above, better install hires pack, the difference is noticeable

tawny sand
#

idk, even on the base textures it'd just be slightly blurry. Worth that over the install space imo

hexed stream
#

yes if I need that space for something else, but I'm not that tight on space

gilded elm
#

Depending on your graphics settings, there might be some kind of downsampling from the high res textures if they're installed. Downsampling 4k textures to 1440p will usually look better than native 1440p.

hexed stream
#

ultra, otherwise it's not worth it to install hires at all, the only purpose of the pack is to enable ultra option

gilded elm
#

But that would be kinda weird, usually you would use something like NVidia DL DSR to do that, so no idea.

hexed stream
#

also my monitor is big, 34" 2k ultrawide, detail difference is more noticeable

#

smaller monitors I guess it doesn't matter at all

gilded elm
#

Depends on resolution, sure.

tawny sand
#

1080p is big enough for me, but my desk is pretty narrow so my monitor is like right in my face

gilded elm
#

Monitor size and resolution will affect how many pixels per inch you can fit, so quality will vary between different sizes of monitors for the same resolution, yes.

tawny sand
#

i just had to buy a new one cause my other one died on me, i'm not sure how big this one is

#

24.5 inches i think

#

kind of weird having a flat monitor again, i liked my old curved msi monitor

hexed stream
#

curve is love

thorn nacelle
#

i see what they are doing and where they are planning to end up. no need university to understand.

#

thats wow future.

hexed stream
#

well idk about that, as far as I can see, d4 will still remain an arpg till at least season 30

thorn nacelle
#

thats wow future

#

they copy-paste anythink possible to survive the ultra hit is comming in near future

hexed stream
#

look pretty much arpg to me

thorn nacelle
#

aka Poe2 and titan quest 2.

#

btw

tawny sand
#

i don't think titan quest 2 will have a big impact player wise, i think it'll have an audience tho

thorn nacelle
#

the best part is near for them too.

#

Guild war bosses

hexed stream
#

the only things that scream wow to me are multiple skill bars, forced party contents, so I don't see anything wow in d4 for now

thorn nacelle
#

the higher mastercard will be the king. Diablo 4 trueform is near to be finished.

thorn nacelle
#

thats a think.

hexed stream
#

I think I have a lot of ideas

tawny sand
#

poe2 is wow cause it has wasd movement

thorn nacelle
#

but has Dark souls elements too i heard

hexed stream
#

the only dark souls element is dodge roll, but that's not a dark souls element

gilded elm
#

I just ignore tribalism. Play what you have fun playing. I'm in PoE mode for now, but D4 is still the most popular mainstream ARPG on the market and I'll def be checking out the expansion for a couple weeks then jump into PoE 2 and hop between seasons, what a time to be alive for an ARPG fan.

thorn nacelle
#

ofc you are free to play or say whatever u think its correct. We spend years gaming diablo 2 and wow so personally have other idea about them.
i just will sit back and watch them till 2030.

tawny sand
#

i honestly don't know if i'll like poe2, i find wasd movement annoying. I know it's optional, but it looked like it's kind of designed with wasd in mind

#

but i'll probably also adjust so who knows

hexed stream
#

depending on builds, non telegraphic builds are great with wasd

gilded elm
#

I was in middle school when D2 first came out and really loved it, great game. But D2 is a bad game in 2024. If Blizzard made a game that was exactly like D2 with updated graphics, nobody would play it.

thorn nacelle
tawny sand
#

they did make d2 with updated graphics tho and people play it

hexed stream
tawny sand
#

d2 resurrected

gilded elm
#

D2R is great, I love it, but it's a trip down memory lane

#

Not an actual game I want to play regularly

tawny sand
#

fair

thorn nacelle
#

cause now days Rpg players either they play arpg or rpg. they dont wanna grind. reason Mastercards are on fire
Diablo 2 had tons of Grind which for this generation is too hardcore. Reason diablo 2 is so bad but has still big playerbase and Moding servers on top.

hexed stream
#

d2r doesn't click with younger players, and even for old players, a huge part of the 5M copies sold are bots

tawny sand
#

i wonder how many play project diablo 2 in comparison, my friend is exited for the new season

hexed stream
thorn nacelle
#

i will take 6 years break of this scam and see their progress into time.

gilded elm
hexed stream
#

yup

thorn nacelle
#

yep enjoy copy-paste coctail arpg wanna be ๐Ÿ˜„

hexed stream
#

well, we enjoy whatever we do, or do we have a fun police?

thorn nacelle
#

see ya in 2030 gl and have fun ๐Ÿ˜„

desert jasper
#

Man, zanzil
I'm sometimes not sure if you're just intentionally trying to annoy people or not

thorn nacelle
hexed stream
#

good lord, he totally misunderstood me

tawny sand
#

i'm not even sure what the conversation is about

thorn nacelle
#

me neither laters ๐Ÿ˜„

tawny sand
#

anyway that witchfire game is pretty alright, i've been playing it waiting for VoH

#

kind of repetitive starting out tho, but opens up a tad

#

takes a while tho

gilded elm
#

The reason D4 is so popular is because it captures a wider audience of people who don't have time to grind. It's an easy game to pick up and put down, and I suspect that's why it has comparably good retention, there's less burnout among its playerbase because they aren't the type of players who nolife the game.

hexed stream
#

the worst thing a human can do to another human, is to ridicule what other people enjoy, so I wonder

tawny sand
#

idk, the launch grind of d4 was pretty obscene

#

like it was not fun

desert jasper
#

Also the name "Diablo" sells

tawny sand
#

it's better now tho

gilded elm
hexed stream
#

we all know before s4, it's diablo patch 0.5, EA version

gilded elm
#

They basically tried to recreate the same grindy experience of D2 and said they were surprised when people didn't like that

#

Oh, the irony.

hexed stream
#

we have 4 seasons of EA from s0-3

tawny sand
#

i think they misunderstood what people wanted from D2 maybe, but most D2 players don't grind out to 100 anyway

#

so idk what they were doing

gilded elm
tawny sand
#

oh, i see

thorn nacelle
#

i personally can understand that. its normal nobody has so much time to invest grind so much.
its better like this. Those who wanna play original arpg aka D2 moded or non can play.. others can play D4 instead.

tawny sand
#

yeah idk, only a few really do holy grail runs like streamers and stuff

thorn nacelle
#

i did Holy Grail 4 years offline in D2.

gilded elm
#

They basically modeled a large part of the D4 experience around D2 Holy Grail runs, apparently lol

#

That's why ubers were so stupid rare

#

Like winning a lottery

thorn nacelle
#

Behind this grind is the fun but its hard to explain.

hexed stream
tawny sand
#

d2 tyrael's might too

thorn nacelle
#

imagine playing 1 game 4 years and still finding new items..

tawny sand
#

i've never seen one drop personally

thorn nacelle
#

and funny part its 23 years old game

#

thats more than enough for me ๐Ÿ™‚

hexed stream
gilded elm
#

It's been too long since I played, but I bet there's a handful of items I've never seen in D2. Probably buried somewhere in all of my Baal run trauma.

thorn nacelle
#

had 1 Zod drop also

#

thats the dopamine hits which are immortal during the years.

#

to get insane drops with high rolls etc

#

but ofc requires tons of farm/grind.

gilded elm
#

It feels good but that's not the experience you want to create IMO, it's unhealthy for the game long-term.

hexed stream
#

dictatorship opinion incoming

thorn nacelle
#

yes its too hardcore what i said. better have diablo 4 like this so both playbase are happy.

gilded elm
#

That's why crafting systems like you see in LE and PoE are so good, because you can take a bad item and turn it into something decent, or you can take a good item and turn it into something amazing. You want players to have some control over farming instead of just making everything RNG.

hexed stream
#

not everyone is a gambling addict

tawny sand
#

i wish there was more to do with blue and rare items in d4, in the expansion they'll just go to auto-salvage on torment I or something

#

missed oppurtunity

hexed stream
#

well if you add LE crafting it will become LE right

gilded elm
tawny sand
#

i'm also concerned about the raid tbh, i hope it doesn't feel mandatory. I don't have friends that play and if it's complex enough pugging would be a headache

thorn nacelle
hexed stream
gilded elm
#

Ideally you have a static group of friends, but yeah not everyone can commit to that. I'd probably approach it like I did with Lost Ark raids, just find a group to play with regularly.

thorn nacelle
#

Raids is wow future btw include marking etc

gilded elm
#

Probably more like Lost Ark raiding, which is more of a social ARPG than it is an MMO.

thorn nacelle
#

also heard in those raids going to be Pvp

gilded elm
#

Looked more like Lost Ark raids, any way

thorn nacelle
#

never played Lost ark or going to. did raided in wow for years and what i see is copy-paste wow.

#

retail wow too.

desert jasper
#

Because everything is a copypaste according to you

#

Oh no, the game has movement
it's a copy-paste of wow

thorn nacelle
gilded elm
#

Too small to be a WoW raid

thorn nacelle
#

wow raids start 40 man into 25 man into 10 man

gilded elm
#

Yes, and D4 raids are small like in Lost Ark, 4 person

#

At least the first raid, Dark Citadel

thorn nacelle
hexed stream
#

lucky I don't play wow at all, idk and don't care what copy what, the only question that should be asked is : is it fun

thorn nacelle
gilded elm
hexed stream
#

idk why people care about anything in a game other than being fun nowadays
if you find it fun you play, if you don't, stop, simple as that

thorn nacelle
#

@desert jasper have u ever played wow?

#

i dont wanna argue with this just wondering

desert jasper
#

I believe I've told you before
I've played it to lvl 20 because a friend kept demanding that I play it
and it was the most miserable experience in gaming that I've ever had

thorn nacelle
#

so since you people never played wow how u know if its copy-paste or not

#

how u put an opinion or try to argue about something since u have no experience on it

desert jasper
#

And you never played diablo3 but you were fast to say that monk in D3 is just copypaste from wow...

#

Gee

gilded elm
#

There is probably gonna be gatekeeping in pugs though, depending on how hard the raid turns out to be. If it's decently hard, getting into public parties will be difficult.

thorn nacelle
#

i did played d3 too

#

so stay on my point mr.Nub

desert jasper
#

Nah, don't think I will.

thorn nacelle
#

rofl ๐Ÿ˜„ whatever i like this. is like i wanna say something Wukong vs Baldurs gate but i never played any of those games

tawny sand
thorn nacelle
#

specially Wukong super good optimized

gilded elm
desert jasper
#

Yeah you just conveniently ignore that I did try out wow
But since I didn't play to the very end game etc I "didn't play it"

#

You can usually tell quite fast if you like a game or no

thorn nacelle
#

try something out isnt enough to earn the max experience vs 800 days played

#

what do u think? ๐Ÿ˜„

desert jasper
#

Ah yes, most people max the experience & play a single game for 800 days
only to talk down to other people

thorn nacelle
#

is the same killing Boars in Barrens and also the same speedrun the content

#

๐Ÿ˜„

desert jasper
#

"Your experience with the game isn't valid"

thorn nacelle
#

i enjoy your stories tell me more ๐Ÿ˜„

gilded elm
thorn nacelle
#

my experience is not only with Wow but with Blizzard on general

#

was happy and ultra hooked when first time d2 got released same as Wow did.

#

2018 wow got released and same nostalgia again.

#

but was unhappy with other thinks which are useless to point out here.

tawny sand
#

vanilla wow was about the journey tho, and then they designed the later game in such a way to rush you into endgame which a lot of people hate. Do people that didn't do Ahn'Qiraj 40 in vanilla or Naxx or MC not have valid experiences?

thorn nacelle
#

Vanilla wow was ultra full at 2018 release

#

once Corona appeared even more

#

i will never forget to have 10-13 hours Dayli que in order to play the game (over a month)

#

was Woltk Gehennas Horde server. before that each new raid patch we had issues

#

its 20 years mmo-rpg game and they put 0 effort into it.

#

same they did with Diablo 2

#

only Fun base aka Modders keep improving the game instead.

tawny sand

Yeah PoE has a very good wiki, but also that specific site exists only to advertise their RMT business.

sand wigeon
#

RMT? More like really muddling trains.

hexed stream
#

like, not just miserable, but ultra miserable

desert jasper
#

Yeah
You can make it work, some builds easier than others
But you need to know what you're doing and even then it's still RNG
and you can't really make something that relies on a specific unique

sand wigeon
#

depends what youโ€™re trying to get

#

but yeah SSF is a challenge mode for a reason

desert jasper
#

Yeah but talking about the more rare uniques
or stuff that you can only get from Heist for example
I know a guy who tried that, he got to like... lvl 80? in SSF and then ragequit because he couldn't actually get his build going because he didn't get the uniques he needed
||he conveniently ignored when I told him that he should probably lvl as some other build than that and then change around when he has them||

oh and also cluster jewels are also something that you can't rely on SSF either

hexed stream
#

in a sense, ssf in poe is really like ssf irl, it's like you decide not to buy anything anymore, and grow everything by yourself to eat, it's doable, but a miserable experience for most people

gilded elm
#

Also largely depends on the type of end game content you're trying to do. If the extent of your playtime is just running T16 maps then you can get away with pretty much any decent off meta build.

And as we've seen in these past few days in the Gauntlet, and past Gauntlets (which are HC SSF), a skilled and knowledgeable player will have farmed bases, crafted high end gear and geared up enough to challenge ubers within just a few days. So there's definitely a huge knowledge gap (learning all the different ways to farm bases, the different crafting systems, metacrafting etc) that makes SSF way more viable.

fierce moth

Damn...But I can't join in poe community server...SMS still don't work

ssf is just working with what you got at first, expecting a build online at lvl 80 is kinda weird

I'm a little woozy playing LE right now

fierce moth
#

I guess various orbs and gems is the core of fun of farming in poe? I enjoying adjusting my gears by orbs a lot but these orbs just too rare :(

#

Get an excellent result by using orbs just now

#

I don't know what the sense of stacking intelligence though

indigo shadow
#

I was about to complaint 5 P Damage then i realized it's a Mage gear

hexed stream
#

more often than not I see people in poe wasting 10s of divs of currency trying to play with crafting, not knowing what they do exactly, and in the end result in something that's worth 1 or 2c
poe crafting is something I personally will not do unless I gain another 5000h of experience or so

#

like, 200% of what I have now

sand wigeon
#

i mean the basics ain't that hard

#

trying to craft crazy stuff is but if you stick to the basics it's fine

#

and i have 200 hours, so

hexed stream
#

yeah, wasting a few chaos or so experimenting is ok, it's cheap experimentation anyway, or essence is also good way to craft, and easy to farm as well if she knows the strat

sand wigeon
#

you can also just do normal chance, alt, exalt stuff

hexed stream
#

personally won't touch exalt early on, that level of currency I start to save it up to exchange to chaos for trading, unless I'm around more than 1 week into league when 1 exalt is nothing

sand wigeon
#

what is early on for you

#

exalts are so cheap

#

where is early

hexed stream
#

for me, everything before t16 is early on

sand wigeon
#

i get chaos without trying early

#

what

#

how little currency are you making??

#

i make divs in yellow maps

hexed stream
#

idk, when reaching t16 I usually start making a few div/h, and when gears get better, 10+ div/h

sand wigeon
#

what do you run?

#

for mechanics

twilit mountain
#

You can make like almost 15d an hour from T5 maps onwards just by running essences lol

hexed stream

the streamer I watched this league also made all her currency running essence for 2 weeks straight too, her build was destroying t17 fully juiced with ease, yet t7 essence corrupted boss kicked her ass every now and then

sand wigeon
#

what is fubgone

hexed stream
#

fubgun, but gone version

sand wigeon
#

what

hexed stream
#

he's the best mf streamer in poe, always boasting the record for div/h every league

sand wigeon
#

and how did he cause issues?

#

pretty sure strongboxes are just satisfying so people like running them, therefor the prices of the strongbox items go up, it's basic supply and demand

#

i'm sure a small part of the community switches to them because of some streamer but generally people just like them

hexed stream
#

for the exact reason I just said, he's the best mf player, so when he posts a farming strat, so many people use that for farming, thus the currency farmed from such method will crash in price

sand wigeon
#

yes. supply and demand

#

like i just said

hexed stream
#

but cowgirl league I didn't play long enough until strongbox strat crashed in price, when I quit it was still solid 15 div/hr

sand wigeon
#

what is cowgirl league

hexed stream
#

and only 15 coz my char not strong enough

sand wigeon
#

why are we talking about farm workers

hexed stream
sand wigeon

...kalgur?

#

settlers of kalgur?

hexed stream
#

settlers of cowgirl

sand wigeon
#

why in all of my god's names are you calling it that

hexed stream
#

like, the whole poe community call this league that way

sand wigeon
#

not any i've interacted with

#

must be the weirdo side

hexed stream
#

even the major streamers put cowgirl in their streaming session names

sand wigeon
#

so the weirdo side, yeah

hexed stream
#

idk, poe is really flooded with tons of weirdo including me

sand wigeon
#

this league has been called settlers tho

#

why are you admitting to being a weirdo

hexed stream
#

weirdo is good, I don't like to see myself as the normal one

sand wigeon

the weirdo's i'm talking about are they type to sexually harass me

Chamber of sin is quite interesting, remind me of...emmm why dungeons for main campaign in poe is as same as d4, I must follow the coming way to return? Waste time on walking...

that's why everyone hates doing lab

#

i haven't had that experience with chamber of sin? if i understand you

#

that sentence's not computing in my head a bit

fierce moth
sand wigeon
#

yeah, i remember the level

#

just not sure what you mean

hexed stream
#

maybe she means the trial, but I could be wrong

sand wigeon
#

maybe

#

in which case you just do the trials the first time you enter the maps

#

if there's a trial in a map the quest will appear on the right side

#

if you do them while you're there, it's no biggie

fierce moth
#

oh that's a dungeon where many gems inside. Ok not waste my time now

sand wigeon
#

idk what that means

#

but fair enough

hexed stream

every league rush campaign never look back

i do all quests because i'm not yet familiar enough to remember which ones are worth it

I enjoyed the main tale showed in campaign of D4, I enjoy the gameplay of campaign of poe, I just don't find anything campaign of le I enjoyed.

The most quests I need to do in the campaign of poe

tawny sand

i personally have no idea what LE's campaign is about, other than there's a undead emperor or something

fierce moth
#

oh remind of a thing. I don't need to go back to a town or walk back for a long time in LE's campaign. This is the adventage of le's campaign

tawny sand
#

i don't think i know what PoE's campaign is either, other than i found the lore tid bits cool

#

like the gemling queen

LE definitely has the worst campaign, story-wise of all ARPGs that I've played. Even Grim Dawn's story was way better.

No idea, I'm surprised Crate wasn't hired to work on Titan Quest 2.

crate has knowledge of the original engine, but they went with unreal 5 for TQ2 i think

gilded elm
tawny sand

and i think grimlore has unreal knowledge or something

#

i hear those rts games are really good, i just dont' play rts

gilded elm
#

Grimlore makes the SpellForce games

tawny sand
#

yeh

#

they're doing tq2

gilded elm
#

Yeah, just a shame IMO that the few remaining original TQ devs at Crate aren't the ones working on TQ2

tawny sand
#

oh for sure

#

i don't remember who originally published Titan Quest

#

oh it was THQ original before they went bankrupt and got wrapped up into THQ Nordic or something

gilded elm
#

I guess Ironlore/Crate own the actual original TQ engine and that's not part of the TQ intellectual property, dunno how else they were allowed to use the same engine for GD.

tawny sand
#

I think they bought the engine or licensed it from the publisher? I don't remember

#

i feel like i read about it though

#

dang i kind of want to play titan quest before vessel of hatred comes out

#

but that first act takes so long

gilded elm
#

Settings -> Game Speed -> Fastest (or whatever the fastest setting is) lol

tawny sand
#

lol true

#

i think i already play on fast

#

fastest is too fast for me if i remember right

#

at least for bosses

gilded elm
#

Fast is the current default in the Anniversary Edition, but there's one setting higher

#

Ah, yeah

tawny sand
#

i hope TQ2 goes well for grimlore

#

thq nordic has had a ton of layoffs

gilded elm
#

Looks good so far based on the demo footage. AaronARPG has been keeping up with the news/reveals and seemed optimistic based on what we've been shown so far. Grimlore doesn't seem to have experience making an ARPG so I kinda expect the game to launch with some glaring design flaws, but they at least seem to be good about supporting their games.

fierce moth

Of course, I still don't know even now

gilded elm
fierce moth
#

lol hah damn miss the cycle entirely

gilded elm
#

Standard is like LE Legacy and Challenge League is like a LE Cycle. The current challenge league is called Settlers, so that will say something different next league.

#

But in PoE, challenge leagues have unique mechanics that are not available in standard.

fierce moth
#

The pity is...poe can't skip the campaign :(

gilded elm
#

Indeed

fierce moth
#

So play a new character is super troublesome

gilded elm
#

But it's about 6 hours or so once you optimize it and you'll be around level 70 by the end of it.

hexed stream
gilded elm
# hexed stream my 3rd league and I took more than double that amount of time

Yeah it's super easy to get distracted, so it's easy to lose a lot of time. That's fine though if you have fun with the distractions. But if you strictly just focus on campaign and only the quests you need for skill points and you become more familiar with the map tile sets, then it should be around 5-6 hours.

hexed stream
#

I tried to focus, but it's about familiarity with campaign map locations I guess

#

not just the quests with skill points, I did all

gilded elm
#

Yeah map traversal accounts for a huge portion of the time wasted

hexed stream
#

honestly when poe2 comes out, I'm not even sure if I will ever go back to poe1

gilded elm
#

If the goal is to go fast, then you'd only do the side quests that actually award skill points and gems/flasks that you need.

fierce moth
#

I still under the logic that create a new character, level it up to explore all game mechanics by error and trials, then use the storage from the first character to boost up process and expand the storage, run the loop until I tried everything in the game.
So... Play a new character from zero per a few months is what I don't get where the fun is still.

hexed stream
#

the fun is everyone starts from 0, not just you

#

every game with season, I don't play non-season, and I immediately delete everything when I'm done

fierce moth
#

Masters can still faster than your process even all of us start from zero ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

hexed stream
#

yes, but that doesn't matter, starting again with everyone from 0 is still fun

#

it's not about the competition

#

no way to compete against people with more time and more knowledge

gilded elm
#

In PoE there's things you can only experience in a season, then it goes away forever. So you do also kind of end up missing out on a lot of content by skipping seasons.

#

I think they'll end up keeping some things from this season, but probably not all of it.

fierce moth
#

๐Ÿ˜‚ The difference on logic. I don't get why people don't enjoy the advanced phase when everything is advanced (ready)

hexed stream
#

and also, in most arpg, leveling process will be your most memorable time, endgame farming is just the same old repetitive mapping

hexed stream
desert jasper
#

It also feels great seeing the character come together

gilded elm
#

I agree that most of the fun is in watching the build come together, and not when you finally have the build.

#

That's the case for me too.

fierce moth
hexed stream
#

there's a good reason so many children of billionaires kill themselves, they are born with too much money that takes 100 generations to spend, and they don't know what the hell they wanna do with life, they lose all purpose in life

#

eating the rice you hard earn always tastes better than the rice you buy, as the saying goes

desert jasper
#

Like sure, mapping is nice and all
but it gets kinda repetitive so I usually listen to music or talk with friends when I do that for extended periods

hexed stream
#

in fact I don't even know how people find fun when they have everything ready for them at the start

fierce moth
#

I like the feeling that see the own character come together but I rather like I can control my character to do everything without limit

gilded elm
#

At least we get multiple Atlas trees so we can switch up the mapping to cater to whatever activity we want to grind, I enjoy a lot of them like Legion, Breach, Harvest, Betrayal, Expedition, Delve.

desert jasper
#

Yeah, I remember 2 streamers talked about that (Mathil & Zizaran)
and zizaran always used to get all the gear ready for alt characters before even starting them
and mathil said that's boring and how it feels much better to put the character together while lvling and craft the gear, see the power increase

and then ziz tried that and was like "wow, mathil was right"

hexed stream
#

the psychology is very simple, legacy character promotes dopamine, or we usually call it cheap, quick fun
seasonal char promotes hard earned satisfaction after going through difficult times, the hormone involved is also different, called endorphin
and in medical understanding, the satisfaction effect of endorphin is much more long-lasting and impactful than dopamine

fierce moth
#

I'm the people who get all gears ready for alt characters indeed lol

gilded elm
#

Sometimes I'll throw a useful unique on an alt for easier leveling/campaign, but most of the time I'll try to use whatever I pick up because the crafting system is already powerful as it is.

hexed stream
gilded elm
#

Obviously I'll have plenty of currency that I farmed on my main which I can spend on crafting for alt

fierce moth
#

Then I lose the interest to play the alt character quickly yeah

#

The most happy memory is when I level up the first character always

hexed stream
#

also part of the reason why more advanced players often resort to playing hc mode

#

endorphin + adrenaline rush, ultimate fun formula

gilded elm
#

There's too many defensive mechanics in PoE, I can't fathom me playing HC. I'd definitely mess something up and get one shot.

hexed stream
#

big respect to ziz who almost always plays hc

gilded elm
#

There's quite a few HCSSF players in PoE, takes a lot of knowledge to not die lol

desert jasper
#

Last time I played HC in PoE was before Sirus etc were added
before the end game boss hp got... what, tripled or quadrupled?

hexed stream
#

the only game I dare to play hc is d2r, it's simple enough

desert jasper
#

Made it to like tier 6 maps and then I got killed by a red beast

gilded elm
#

Armor, Evade, Block, Spell Suppression, Spell Dodge, Resistance Scaling, Damage Shifting etc. So many defensive mechanics you have to be aware of, else you risk being vulnerable to a one shot that completely bypasses whatever defensive layers you have lol

hexed stream
#

or play armor stacking and afk on uber bosses

fierce moth
#

Everything in gameplay of a ARPG must spend lots of time to learn if I want to master at this game. Oh...stressful because of the huge gap on experience.

gilded elm
#

Don't think that's viable for everything though, or if it was, it probably requires specific passives/items to allow armor to mitigate non-phys so it's gonna lock you into certain choices.

hexed stream
#

look at fps game, nothing much to learn, just know how to shoot a gun and good to go

simple needle
#

Every genre that requires effort for entry isn't popular

#

DnD , fighting games, RTS etc

sand wigeon
#

And thatโ€™s not a bad thing

#

People are busy and lots of times canโ€™t get into complicated games

#

But also, another reason is just that most ARPGโ€™s are dated and generally donโ€™t attract new players, choosing instead to cater toward their current community

#

This is why Diablo has gotten the โ€œcasual gamerโ€ stereotype, because it attempts to bring in new players more consistently than others

indigo shadow
#

Well Patrick Ewing is back on NBA

fierce moth
#

I guess why they're agree on poe is harder than le is too many gems the player can select when they claim the reward of main quests ๐Ÿ˜‚ Options just more and more...

#

of course just one of reasons

desert jasper
#

Ah, act 3
I see

#

And it's not the skill gems that make PoE harder than LE

gilded elm
#

Hands down the best feature this league. They better keep this and add it to the base game.

#

i dont miss whispering to 20 player for 1 trade

I hope they add autoloot (and a proper filter that can also tie in with autoloot).

narrow token
#

Soooo when do they make their UI art not hideous?

gilded elm
#

Dunno, that thought never occurred to me. Seems good, maybe a bit dated but at least the game itself (including the UI) feels very snappy and responsive (no perceptibly unnatural latency across UI actions) so that maybe reinforces my impression of it.

junior oyster
#

Because I hate having to pick certain curr up

mental talon
#

This was a productive league. I am content and now we wait for PoE 2.

gilded elm
#

dam u rich

#

I wonder if they'll keep Runesmithing in the base game. I hope so

mental talon
#

I figure a lot of Settlers will go core but obviously not all

gilded elm
#

Yeah I don't think Kingsmarch itself will go core, that's just such a huge mechanic to be repeating every league unless they nerf it.

mental talon
#

Like Faustus/Exchange, and hopefully Runesmithing. Probably not mappers/plants/shipment.

gilded elm
#

Yep, and I would be happy with that. I'd be even happier if they kept the cheap early game respecs with Faustus, but since 90% of the reason for gold is probably going to be removed... I kinda doubt gold respecs will go core.

#

But then again, if they keep the Currency Exchange, that's a pretty big reason to keep gold in the game as well since you currently pay gold for the broker tax in the exchange.

mental talon
#

Gold will probably go core if I was a betting man since it was backported from POE 2 and a test/feeler to see how it would feel in POE 1 with pretty much overwhelmingly positive reception for Gold/Faustus/Gold respec

#

I'd be shocked if that left tbh

sand wigeon
mental talon
#

I can see most of the mechanical stuff but if Gold was gone I'd be shocked tbh

gilded elm
#

Yeah I agree. I think gold is a crucial feature right now that makes PoE appeal to a wider audience with the respecs and currency exchange.

#

They might have to find more uses for gold though, or raise the exchange fees or steepen the respec cost curve since we likely aren't going to have anything else to spend gold on especially late game.

#

I wouldn't be opposed to them keeping shipping though, but maybe instead of Kingsmarch resources, we can just spend gold on "goods" or "labor" or whatever and ship that.

#

So they could keep some aspects of the Kingsmarch mini-games that weren't as demanding.

#

You know what, they should keep the Recombinator and Thaumaturgic Dust as well, that would be another well received feature for people to spend gold on.

sand wigeon
#

I think Kingsmarch should just become a core mechanic tbh

#

I feel like I play PoB more than PoE sometimes lol

fierce moth
#

lol I never imagine I even play tower defence in a ARPG

gilded elm
#

Blight? Yeah it's not bad, and the rewards are good too. You get a bunch of different oils from Blight which you can use to anoint an amulet. Anointing automatically grants you a passive node specific to the recipe you used. For example if you wanted access to this passive node without needing to path all the way to it, you can anoint an amulet with the recipe shown (Silver, Silver, Golden) and it allocates that passive for you.

#

Blight is only one of the many end game activities you can focus on, there's a bunch of other really good/useful ones too. I really like Betrayal specifically for the veiled mods.

#

Too many things to do in this damn game that are fun (for me personally) like Betrayal, Delve, Harvest, Blight, Expedition and a little bit of Legion and Breach.

What I appreciated poe the most on gameplay is the currency system.
So cool to pay different goods by different materials (different orbs) then max the value of all materials.
LE can improve this area. These shards are useless after I stored them a lot...Why not let them being the only currency for exchanging something ๐Ÿค”

#

I'm so happy on playing a game which not use golds to buy something I need

hexed stream
#

Well if you know, you know
There's a good reason humankind moved from bartering goods, to using money as common currency

#

The problem is not gold, problem is the role of gold in the game, how omnipresent it is

Booked promised weekend streams from a streamer about poe 2! Hyped to watch highfive

Although most of le streamers must stream poe 2 I bet.

hexed stream
#

Be more confident, replace most with all

#

Can't miss out on the hype train

fierce moth
#

The most trouble thing is I need to check out how to get the access

#

gregory I need to do one more fan art for LE before poe 2's hype wave is live

#

hah alright GGG don't have the own ins account so...The only gaslight is on the reddit.

Yeah earn enough money by single game only is super rare and need lots of luck for streamers... EHG know it clearly

Wait...I realize dungeon gameplay in le is inspired from this one once I see that ๐Ÿค”
Interesting to try how the origin one works!

fierce moth
#

Congratulations to myself, gain the chance to re-enter six mazes again hahaha (Damn the boss inside the labyrinth is too insane because of too many minions surround it then I even no chance to close to him)

sand wigeon
#

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever noticed minions when fighting Izaro. Thereโ€™s also different mechanics Izaro can roll. What skill are you using?

fierce moth
#

gregory I destroyed mirrors at first when I challenged it for the second time but still be slain because I took too much damage...Hah

#

I only can increase my armor and energy shield so far

sand wigeon
#

You should probably try focusing on one skill and scaling that, not multiple

#

Hexblast mines (IDK what it is in your language if youโ€™ve swapped it) are probably your best language

fierce moth
#

First unique item I get omegalul

#

Affixes aren't good enough though

fierce moth
#

I wonder any ways to gain mana from hitting enemies

#

lol The origin of manacharged node in static orb's skill tree is found

tawny sand
#

is the main rewards from the D4 raid cosmetics? Like you don't need to do it to target farm or anything? I was looking up more info about its rewards and didn't see much

fierce moth
#

Just done the combat with Dominus, I want to say drop items during the combat is pure bad idea. Blocks my controls and increase the misclick chance a lot

# fierce moth I wonder any ways to gain mana from hitting enemies

The way Deias usually does this with Hexblast is linking it to a bunch of mine supports, obtaining Clarity and capping it at around level eight, and linking detonate mines to automate.

Mine supports: various gems that support mines when linked.
Clarity: an aura (reserves mana or life) skill gem that constantly generates mana.
Detonate mines: a skill that detonates your mines when activated.
Automate: automatically uses whatever skill itโ€™s linked to.

why thank ye, deias, ye olde basher of bosses

fierce moth
#

Not hear charged mines and blastchain mines yet

#

Ok not skill gems I can confirm

#

I just want to know which skill is it

karmic nimbus
#

you detonate your mines with that

fierce moth
#

I mean the skill name, I want to search this gem

karmic nimbus
#

its not gem

#

it appears when you equip mine skill

#

tho there is skill gem also with same name i forgot

fierce moth
#

which is mine skill...god ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

questions are too much to ask

karmic nimbus
#

wiki is better for searching

fierce moth
#

Then I'm confused how to get these recipes, click the first one, divination card...Fine I don't know this thing yet because it's appeared since the beginning of act 4, where my progress on

#

๐Ÿคญ I guess I can start to think where my build will go until I done act 6

karmic nimbus
#

this is right place to see

#

forget those div cards

fierce moth
#

lol my guessing is right
Act 6 Fallen from grace

#

Let me check out if it's available on the town of act 3. Ok, no. See it in act 6.

#

Each maps per act is quite big to explore and find targeted people or bosses then cost much time.

#

emmmm do the max bonus of quality for armor is 20%?

fierce moth
#

...I want to know what happened only. Luminous enemies who looks like that are appeared and they're too much so they can kill me in 1 sec :(

desert jasper
#

One of those has invulnerability aura that it turns on some times
It does disappear after a short time

karmic nimbus
#

delve darkness kills you in seconds

#

stay near cart and light

desert jasper
#

Yeah, that too

fierce moth
#

These luminous spiders are too amazing...Their nets trap and kill me instantly

#

I wonder how to kill them quickly now...My damage is dot so needs time but they doesn't give me time at all so...

desert jasper
#

I probably wouldn't go to Delve right away when you can

karmic nimbus
#

Yea you clearly dont know mechanics down there so leave it for now

fierce moth
#

oh yeah I leave it here and lay on the bed and fall asleep lol

hexed stream
#

well if you try it again tomorrow, the same thing will happen

fierce moth
#

lmaooooooo what can I do...I'm depressed

#

The main difficulty of I play poe is I don't know how to aoe really then I must be slain if enemies are too much ๐Ÿ˜ข

#

I just suicide myself once I enter the arena. Nothing I can do...

mental talon
#

Also Im not sure if anyone has told you yet but defenses/resistances are REALLY important in PoE

#

If you ignore them you will find yourself getting walled quite early and often as you go through the acts more and more enemies gain elemental damage types etc.

desert jasper
#

Also you should have more hp

fierce moth
#

The tricky point in poe is enemies do physical damage but no physical resistance...Only reduce physical damage. The same meaning though...But I can't find anything can reduce physical damage ๐Ÿ˜ต

#

I gave up blight and use the recommended combo, contagion + essence drain. AOE become better now

sand wigeon
#

A lot of enemies deal elemental damage

#

You want your resistances capped

#

(75%)

fierce moth
#

lol I wonder what's going on...I go to a big arena suddenly then must kill groups of enemies and I don't know where to go after clear all enemies

#

heavybreathing hah the arena journey is over finally. I hate my characters move very slowly indeed...That quicksilver flask suppose to not work in boss combat?

desert jasper
#

It does work with bosses too
Just that it has limited charges and you don't get the charges back during a boss fight

fierce moth
#

21 charges I have

#

heavybreathing Too less...How to increase the charges amount

#

๐Ÿ™ƒ ...700+ms delay within the combat then always be slain because of the lag

#

But poe Chinese version can't switch to English

#

lol 10K+ ms delay will cause my character died by burning but no death reminder. Then it's up to 20k+ms and out of connection

#

Sigh...This is the weakness of playing an online game. Always have to deal with internet issue...Offline mode in le is a big achievement definitely after I have experienced the pain of always died by the lag.
๐Ÿ™

#

I don't know why Autralia server can't be connected so I can select London only

gilded elm
#

If that doesn't work, then there's also the NZ server which is probably the next closest.

#

Doing damage and taking damage are definitely one of the trickiest things to learn in PoE as a new player. Getting one shot without fully understanding why is definitely one of the more frustrating experiences while learning the game.

#

Also for flasks, if you want better uptime, you'll need to invest into them probably in your passive skill tree. Some ascendencies make flask uptime easier, like Pathfinder (Ranger).

gilded elm
#

Don't be afraid to use Alteration orbs on your flasks to roll the mods you need, as well.

many times singapore server is unstable as hell, I turn on vpn, choose japan host, and connect to japan server, very stable that way with around 100ms, and I'm sure I'm ways further from japan server than you
currently using a free vpn called softether

twilit mountain
sand wigeon
fierce moth
hexed stream
#

I still suggest you use vpn, whenever you want to connect to a server, you use vpn first to connect to that country, that will help stabilize the ping a lot more than without vpn, I learn it after days or trial and error

#

also, you play poe china or poe international version? the 2 are drastically different

fierce moth
#

I must use VPN haha because Chinese internet can do nothing on international games, apps and websites

#

HongKong is the region I select for vpn

fierce moth
#

Then it's not friendly in combats which single target only

fierce moth
sand wigeon
#

ooo that is a messy passive tree

hexed stream
#

idk, this looks like a guide is needed

sand wigeon
#

nah, just some discussion

fierce moth
#

0 refunding points ๐Ÿ˜ต

sand wigeon
#

generally how people build their passive tree is by getting to the outer ring as fast as possible. since the travel nodes (the smaller points you can select to get around) are more spread out, it means you can be more efficient with your passive points

#

so for example, if you really wanted these nodes, this would be a better way to path

#

this way you're spending less points on less impactful stuff

sand wigeon
#

i might have some in standard

sand wigeon
#

a lot of the small nodes you have simply aren't needed. there's some cases when they're great, but usually you want to get to large nodes with as little investment as possible

#

are you playing with a shield?

#

keep in mind i'm no expert, but i'm willing to help where i can

maiden widget
#

you also really need to pick up life nodes that are close early on

#

you can easily respec with gold until late in the campaign if needed

sand wigeon
#

depends

#

witch might want go CI (chaos inoculation. itโ€™s a node that sets your life to 1, but makes it so chaos damage cannot penetrate energy shield)

#

but usually i recommend respeccing into CI later in

fierce moth
#

๐Ÿ˜† emmm You can understand my route on passive net is free to go yeah. I go anywhere when I find a node which maybe useful then I turn the direction so many branches on my route

twilit mountain
gilded elm
#

CI requires considerable energy shield investment that can only really be obtained later on AFAIK

#

Such as Trickster energy leech

fierce moth
#

So what can I do is increased spell damage now?

twilit mountain
gilded elm
#

Early max life nodes can be really helpful for scaling your max life % until you get better max life rolls on gear

desert jasper
#

I've about 6k ES on my Trickster but still haven't gone CI
Would need to change my skill tree a lot and I'm just... not really feeling it

But I'm thinking of maybe starting a duelist and going glad
maybe bleed bow or lacerate

sand wigeon
#

+50 max life mastery my beloved

desert jasper
sand wigeon
#

yeah but gear life is crazy now so

fierce moth
#

I don't know the order of status I'll want in early games. Intelligence? Strength? Dexterity? Spell damage? Attack speed? Cast speed? Energy field? Life? Mana?...

sand wigeon
#

entirely unrelated. what sauces do yโ€™all like with popcorn chicken or chicken tenders or whatevs

twilit mountain
sand wigeon
desert jasper
sand wigeon
#

donโ€™t try and scale that to the moon or anything

sand wigeon
gilded elm
#

You only need Attack Speed for a Wand build if you are using a Wand Attack skill, there's very few of those.

#

I only recently learned that Frenzy can actually be used with Wands lol

#

But Spells use Cast Speed instead of Attack Speed.

sand wigeon
twilit mountain
desert jasper
#

There are also ways to get attacks to scale with increased spell dmg

fierce moth
#

For the refunding point, yeah i can purchase it but I don't have enough orb of chance to exchange orb of scouring to exchange orb of regret so I only can stick on here

gilded elm
#

Yeah I've only been using Frenzy myself with Manaforged Arrows for generating frenzy charges in my bow build

sand wigeon
#

you buy from players

twilit mountain
#

Ah damn, Kirra doesn't have Faustus.

#

Common Standard L

sand wigeon
#

oh damn

gilded elm
#

Yeah sucks, Standard doesn't have the Currency Exchange lol

sand wigeon
#

yeah standard moment

fierce moth
#

Then I don't unlock the market yet

sand wigeon
#

there is no market

#

this season introduced the currency exchange with the new mechanic, which lets you trade currencies easily

twilit mountain
sand wigeon
#

yeah

gilded elm
#

The Currency Exchange is a "league mechanic" as in it's a special feature that only exists in the Challenge Leagues.

gilded elm
#

But there's a very good chance the feature will be adopted into the base game later on.

fierce moth
#

emmmmmm so it's time to create a new character again to play the game?

gilded elm
twilit mountain
sand wigeon
fierce moth
#

You have to choose standard which you maybe did lol
?

sand wigeon
#

people still trade the normal way constantly, since itโ€™s the only way to trade gear

sand wigeon
fierce moth
#

I wonder how long the league will last and if it's the end of the league now

sand wigeon
#

itโ€™s going for like 5 more months or smth

gilded elm
#

I don't think this league will end soon because PoE 2 early access is Nov 15

sand wigeon
#

yeah

gilded elm
#

If they did a new league now, it would be a very short league

#

So I think Settlers will be around for a while

twilit mountain
gilded elm
#

I don't mind though, this league has been great

sand wigeon
#

kingsmarch is awesome

#

they added fishingโ€ฆ

fierce moth
#

๐Ÿค” hah Ok...I need to play a character from zero again then...Made too many mistakes on the first class actually

twilit mountain
#

Gives me plenty of time to mess about in Torchlight's season in a few weeks and then hit PoE2 beta next month, on top of being able to jump back to PoE1 league to knock out anything that catches my eye.

sand wigeon
#

mistakes are to be made

#

nothing to be worried about

gilded elm
fierce moth
#

omegalul Not complete the campaign so enough unknown contents which worth to explore is left

sand wigeon
#

tbf the campaign is the literal start of the game

gilded elm
#

If you do make a new character, there's a lot of good build guides that will teach you as well if you want some guidance on how to spend your skill points and how to obtain gear.

sand wigeon
#

yeah, if you arenโ€™t comfy freeballing it there are guides

#

but make sure to understand why youโ€™re taking the things you are

#

or doing things in a certain way

#

i think if iโ€™d followed guides i wouldnโ€™t really get how to build my own thing

gilded elm
#

Generally agree, but I think people can be prone to information overload with games as complex as this. Eager to learn, they try to learn everything and end up only learning a little bit of everything instead of a lot of something.

sand wigeon
#

yeah discussing with people helped me a lot

gilded elm
#

Build guides provide railing for you to lean on and give you a way to dismiss or ignore things that aren't relevant to the build you are trying to play.

sand wigeon
#

@twilit mountain got me into the game a few years ago so iโ€™ve been able to discuss with them the entire time

#
  • now iโ€™m in a small community server of arpg players so i can talk with all of them
#

i just think discussion is super important because itโ€™s so oftโ€™ i see someone following a guide and asking basic questions about gearing and stuff because theyโ€™re just mindlessly doing what the guide tells them to do

gilded elm
#

Yeah if you wanna actually learn then don't just blindly follow a guide, of course. Ask questions and people will help. Still good for some folks to have some kind of anchor or goal to work towards which also makes discussion easier as well.

sand wigeon

Irl friend introduced me to PoE in like... 2012 but I didn't start playing until early 2013

I stumbled into it on Twitch right at the start of Bestiary and have been playing since

I didn't play most of the early leagues tbh
my computer back then was absolutely terrible

But I remember getting a mirror shard and a few fishing rods in harbinger league
and a friend of mine was jealous and I gave them to him... because had no idea of their value lul

Tbf, mirrors were much less value back then

If the flowers are dead then you prob missed monsters somewhere else
