Path of Exile, a free to play Diablo like Action Role Playing Game

[Rusten]

Reddit tells me that visibility is terrible, but honestly I've had no problem making stuff out (usually). Haven't made it to maps yet because I'm bad but also because I've been doing the Delirium content for every area. It's made every map hectic and fun.

Reddit is never happy! 

Visibility hasn't been an issue for me either -- my only gripe is the freezes and lack of frames. I think that's been the reason for every death I've had in maps. Fortunately they're aware of the problem and working on it.

Performance
It looks like we broke something with 3.10.0. We don't know what it is yet, but are investigating and will fix it. This is a high priority and we're really sorry that it was released like that. We were unaware of the issue from our internal testing but became quickly aware of it upon launch.

Annoyingly, it affects some computers/users a lot more than others. We now have a couple of computers in the office that reliably reproduce problems so we're using those to debug it.

Someone on reddit put together this overview for cluster jewels. I found it useful so I'll post it here too:

I'm playing off and on but only in single player mode. I'm not confident of going higher, yet.

I've actually had the game a while but my internet back home was so bad I couldn't really play the game. Now I've proper internet I'm playing quite a bit more.

I don't consider myself a very dedicated PoE player. I've been playing since Delve, and tonight I dropped far and away the most valuable item I've seen:


I play trade league softcore, so I should probably sell it to fund whatever builds I want for the rest of the league, but I try not to buy anything unless a build-required unique or if I get fed up trying to cap resistances or something. So I guess I'm planning out a new character.

Got excited and wanted to share.

I didn't notice your post until now, nice one!
Even if you don't end up buying anything you can have lots of fun crafting with materials from selling that thing.

But I have to ask -- mana flask with wasp nest claws? Aren't you using "Soul Raker" (claw wheel far right). And where's Coralitos' Signature? That's a build-enabling unique right there.
And if you keep going with that build look into a "Dendrobate Sentinel Jacket". While it's not your target endgame chest it's a very cheap (big) upgrade for early maps.

[naufragar]

You're right that I didn't need the mana flask. I ran a map without it to test. Must've been a reflex left over from leveling. I picked up a Coralito's, since that was cheap. I don't have much crit, so if that's "build enabling" I need to fix my build.

I was going to say that my next chest upgrade was going to be buying a six-socket dex base that I could craft onto, but then I dropped 2 Dendrobates in back to back maps.   So I guess I'll try to five link one of them. My setup right now is incredibly jury-rigged. I'm using the Embalmer's as a bootleg 5 link for pestilent strike, with my Herald of Ag in the chest. Plenty of room to make this build an actual character instead of whatever duct-taped monstrosity it currently is.

[Rusten]

Wasp Nest claws have so much in-built crit that it feels wasteful not to invest in it, but I don't even know your ascendancy. I just saw all the green things and assumed assassin or pathfinder. It's possible Coralito's doesn't do much for you.

With everyone isolating themselves at home we might have more people playing this than usual so Ilios and I created a guild. It's not a well supported feature but at least it offers an ingame chat and some other minor conveniences. Anybody from here is very welcome to join.

Can't recall the best way to provide a link but you can try to search for either Realmsbeyond.net or 814110 (think that's the ID). If that doesn't work you can just add me to friends and I'll add you. My PoE account name is stubbis.

I think we're seeing the spontaneous re-emergence of RBD style variant philosophy.

I think we're seeing the spontaneous re-emergence of RBD style variant philosophy.

I love Jousis' stuff, and his videos make me happy. I never played any of the Diablo series, but I wonder if the PoE community didn't embrace self-limiting variance because the end game is so much longer.

Speaking of, are people playing/what are people playing this new league? I'll start with a good character, but I want to eventually build an absolutely trash self-cast ice spear deadeye using the new Pinpoint support.

[Rusten]

I always get suckered into trying one of the new skills as a starter, but this time I'm just going frost bolt+ice nova to start. Haven't played it for many leagues and it's always strong and fun to play. Will try some of the new skills later on in the league instead.

Very excited for Heist, it looks fun.
