Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Mark.L.Joy]

Yeah I too remember jumping from old HDD to new SSD.
Then developers adjusted...

 

[frajaq]

you know it used to be that when a mechanic made mobs tougher/deadlier it usually also increased their rewards, seems GGG forgot about that last part this league!

 

[JB_0x0003]

They're still making this game? Isn't it just dungeon siege but with more "builds?"

No thank you, I can make my own spreadsheets to optimize.

League mechanic seems universally disliked, which gives me hope that GGG will bring some big improvements this week or the next. It feels like a chore to interact with for a non-guaranteed outcome. They put restrictions in too many places. I made an okay 5-L armour for myself after farming and puzzling the graveyard for a literal day. I feel like there is 0 power gain from interacting with the crafting portion and only increased difficulty from the mandatory mods on the monster. The only time I ever felt the beneficial mods when the Seer spawned, but both times he had a fairly tame selection. The best part are the Embers which let you swap in an actually rewarding monster pack, but they drop too rarely and you want to wait until you get a high occurence maxed out pack with a quant bonus on a map to use them. It's too little for way too much work and a lot of ass in between.

The permanent endgame changes are a different story. I'm loving the new Atlas progression with the extra trees and the perma league mechanics. Jun in every map is such a boon to my leveling.

Looks like its happening, huge buffs to the league crafting

Area to Area or Map to Map gameplay:​

• We will be allowing you to itemise corpses as they drop, so you can choose to collect the corpse or itemise it for free. As a result itemising corpses in all contexts will now be free, as opposed to the 1 Chaos Orb it currently costs.
• Each of the downsides from area to area will now display the increase to the amount of Collectable Corpses and Allflame Embers they cause.
• We will be increasing the amount of Collectable Corpses and Allflame Embers dropping relative to difficult mods substantially.
• We will be further increasing the amount of Allflame Embers dropping additionally to the above.
• We will be adding new Allflame Ember packs that are more rewarding.
• We will be revising the rewards and pack sizes from existing Allflame Ember packs in Endgame to make them substantially more rewarding also.
• We will be making the Devoted Modifiers more rewarding, notably the ones that are granting Currency Items.
• We are lowering the danger of the more dangerous modifiers especially at Endgame.

Grave-Crafting:​

• You will now be able to select the Base Type of the item you want to craft.
• As such, we are removing some of the Crafts that allow you to influence Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence armour types, as they will no longer be necessary since you can just freely select the base type. Note that special base types will still need to be obtained through certain corpses, such as Atlas Base Types, and League Base types like Stygian Vise.
• We are increasing the chances of many of the rarer crafts like Fractured Modifiers and Mirrored outcomes significantly.
• We've removed the "Tiers" from most of the crafts. They'll now have the values of the existing highest tiers always. For example, instead of being able to get 200% or 500% increased chance for Lightning Modifiers, it will now always be 500%.
• We have taken all the crafts that affect the Modifier Rating and compressed it into a single craft that affects all modifiers, instead of being type specific. This will not affect existing crafts you have, those will stop dropping and the new one will start dropping once it's deployed.
• You will be able to directly use Coffins on your List of corpses in your Morgue panel instead of trying to find them within the Morgue.
• Ctrl+F will go to the Search (Currently must be clicked).
• We will be sorting crafts by their type, instead of by level, making it much easier to find crafts that affect a specific type of modifier, like Fire Modifiers.
• The grave-crafts that reroll Sockets and Links have been significantly buffed.

this league im living the dream of RF trickster, with wicked ward, ghost dance and zealot oath.
Waiting for reality check when in mid maps my regen wont be able to catch up

I got a free goldrim at the start of act 3 from the league mechanic, this is more than I usually get from league mechanics during acts. It was some modifier that said "last pack on the map will spawn the messenger", and the messenger gave me a free unique from a small selection. Maybe wasn't exactly the messenger, just some random noun and a nondescript fleshy blob.

In hindsight I should have ran that map until the mod timed out trying to get a tabula. Oh well.

Holy shit that planned change list though, massive buffs to leveling and all drops, and nerfs to difficulty. This stuff always happens, but feels like a more substantial "oopsie" post than usual.

Almost played this league. Looking at the reaction to the league mechanic, it seems I should be darn happy I didn't. I detest crafting leagues already, this sounds like the worst one yet.

You have to imagine they already discussed this in many meetings before release, so changing it anyway is a pretty bit mark on their ability to judge correctly on something fairly fundamental to the league.

cant remember last time i even bothered to read game mechanics. At lest this one is straight forward and skipping it is easy

It's not like specific league content matters that much in a world of endgame bloat. But of course, might be better to wait for next league, especially since GGG does not seem very interested in doing large scale balance updates any more.

You can now encounter ritual as early as act 2. And I found a free corruption altar there as well (thanks for the vaal lightning arrow).

 

[Cyberarmy]

There are some new nice touches along the campaign. There is a hidden room in prison map with %20 hasta potions which are really good while levelling. There is a large monolith near Lioneye's flag with a longer timer. First Einhar quest is also in a more sensible place.

Dang, that's nice.

I saw that one, but was completely uninterested in interacting with legion in act 1.

 

[Gregz]

This is still an economy-based game owned by bot farmers and real money whales, right?

Well except this is one of the few leagues you pretty much have to interact with, no?

Only the parts that make the game randomly harder

The presence isn't as noticeable during campaign, as one might imagine. I got cucked by some mod once or twice during the entire run and you can always just load a new zone if that happens. At some point I stopped even looking at the mods and just zoomed my way to maps. The only real noticeable mod is the Nameless Seer one. Got it twice during campaign it was exciting each time.

 

[tritosine2k]

I already made 20 div with 1 div build

 

[lukaszek]

entering tier1 maps is like hitting a wall for me.
Was melting enemies with closed eyes, super fast kitava kill too.

Then I enter maps without looking at league mods, as usual. Except now while most things melt, some random pack with bulshido mechanics that Im not aware of kicks my ass in seconds

[Mark.L.Joy]

I've now played further enough, overtunned mobs once again, they looked at last league and thought "look! they like one hit damage sponges after all!" but then forgot there was another entire ascendancy to make up for it and we could also choose when to engage with mechanic, reminds me of the whole recombulator + archnem fiasco, a repetition of a repetition at this point.
