Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Tacgnol]

I like how rare heist mobs at the beginning of act 6 have 10 times the amount of health act 5 Kitava has, and the number of times I've seen subphys+haste aura combinations on those is also very funny.

I think I will just go play something else.

Give it a week for hotfixes. League mechanics are always broken on release.

Summoners are currently fucked doing heists due to killing mobs increasing the alert level.

GGG QA is very half assed.

GGG QA is very half assed.

Is that a compliment?

True, non-existent would have been more accurate.

It's not like you can avoid killing mobs, unless you play some 100% tank zdps build and just ignore all mobs I guess? Or did GGG's experts expect everyone to use Phase Run? Does it even do anything?
The alert meter is another thing that makes no sense, where you just fill half (or more) of the bar simply getting to the target room, but the mobs that spawn when escaping are complete bullshit compared to non-heist mobs of the same level.

Bex and Chris both said a couple of weeks ago that killing mobs barely had any effect on the alert level. It does sound as though someone has set a value too high.

Just go in it will be fine

 

[Tacgnol]

omg those heists... who had this brit idea to provide non stackable currency

Also making the heist objective items often take up half the inventory.

The mobs have a fairly low leash range, so you can just run away from them. This feels almost like an exploit though, and sometimes the companion ai will bug out.

The wondrous world of wraeclast, where leaving a guard alive shouting alarms is less conspicuous than killing them before they can react.

Hit phasing, quicksilver flask of adrenaline and flame dash and you will be fine (barely even kidding).

How is dark pact these days? Liked that skill when it got introduced, didnt touch since

Afaik really good when combined with skellies (summon skeleton gem getting default 3x skeletons per cast was a huge buff, you could even unleash them for maximum carnage).

 

[Saark]

Welp, I'm already considering quitting the league. Not because of performance issues (I don't have any) or crashes (had like 2 in ~50hrs of gametime since release) but because it's the same dumbass difficulty that legion had. Content is piss-easy and lucrative, but then theres 5 rares stacked on top in a chokepoint with extra phys/crit/haste and you just get onetapped through 85% phys mitigation, 89% chaosres divine flesh and maxblock (no glancing blows). That's just dumbass design, and I hate to see that this is how most leagues play out these days.

I agree, traps on choke points adds salt to the injury.

 

[ArchAngel]

I am taking it slow with my Discharge ignite Chieftain. I have more fun trying out new builds than playing new content anyways.

Still incredible, just no one plays it anymore. But it's good.

Why not both?

I'm playing necromancer spellslinger desecrate/volatile dead/detonate dead despite it being heavily nerfed. It is a lot of fun, but I am sort of struggling with damage against bosses even on white maps. Lots of upgrades to go (6 link, auto cast wand, better gear, gem quality and levels oh my) but I am not sure I can kill sirus with this. I do like seeing mana reserved: 986/1024 though, makes me feel efficient.

 

[Cyberarmy]

And that's it folks. I'm putting PoE on shelf till PoE2.
It's been hell of a ride. Nearly 3000 hours and I liked most of it.But since Harvest league this became unplayable for me so "Aloha" PoE.

If you have some trouble in maps, meaning you have to use flasks and dodge a little, then heist of the same lvl will be almost impossible once alarm goes off.
Minions have always, or for a very long time, been op, then turned ridiculous in blight, the new zombie gem for instance that gives 40% cooldown is absurd and no one seems to care or notice.

 

[Saark]

Welp, they "fixed" the league by giving in to the crybabies on the forums and reddit and the league is an absolute joke now. 3-5 follower items per Heist, opening all chests and not even close to hitting full alert, and that is with triggering alert traps and mostly lvl 3-4 rogues and equipment. Absolute loot pinata now. Fucking retarded whining.

 

[Cyberarmy]

when did srs become so ridiculous?

It was always like this? This is even its nerfed version.
There are some new minion nodes that makes it even more ridiculous.

Making guards not give alert on death was a good move, but they should have compensated by making chests give more. Game balancing is teh hard
