    Can the Death & Taxes Map PLEASE Get a Rework?

    Posted: 18 Jan 2019 09:40 PM PST

    For those of you unfamiliar with the map: link

    I personally like the map. The concept of it. A single boss, dangerous, with multiple phases that empower him.

    However, the map itself feels incredibly... sluggish, I think is the word. It just drags on and on and on...

    Not to mention that this map is absolute cancer for any summoner. And only because the AI of the boss is so incredibly stupid. E.g. he will stop walking or keep circling your mobs when they are attacking him.

    Also, the map feels otherwise very lifeless and empty (I am aware that this is Death & Taxes, but that's not what I mean). It just has nothing going for it except a unique boss. It doesn't look that unique. It looks like just any other Vaal ruin or, to be quite frank, like a watered down version of Cursed Crypt map. I feel the torch ambience is ruining the map experience anyway. Gruthkul's lair, Oba's Cursed Trove or pretty much any cave-like area would feel more appropriate.

    Edit: Forgot to add that the map isn't rewarding, either. The only div cards that can drop there are Encroaching Darkness and The Gambler. And the boss loot itself is 99% only trash.

    I have a few (other) suggestions that may be worth considering:

    • Since the boss is immune to damage, make him untargetable as well. This will stop minions from blocking him constantly.

    • Speaking of which, perhaps make him ignore everything but players during the transition phases?

    • Make the boss keep walking to each spawn point by himself, regardless if you are near him.

    • Increase his movement speed by ~50%. Just make him walk faster. For the love of God.

    • Between each transition phase there could be, I dunno, maybe separate rooms you need to quickly run in and hit a switch or something. Perhaps to slow him down (if you add something else inbetween) or disable traps that would otherwise spawn each phase or what-gives. Just something, you know.

    I am aware that this was created by a Supporter, so GGG will have to ask him/her for permission, I guess.

    What do you think?

    packet loss, latency issues

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 10:20 AM PST

    Hello POE community,

    I'm running problems with packet loss and latency issues. I'm a player from the Netherlands. So normally, I would use the Amsterdam server but because that server is honestly terrible I use the London server.

    The problem is that even though I use the London server, my connection is still sent to the Amsterdam server first and only after routed to the London server. The packet loss happens between my PC / router and the Amsterdam server.

    I've tried multiple methods of finding out the Amsterdam server(s) IP address to try and block them in my router so I can't connect to them. There's two problems here. First, no matter what I do, I can't find the address for the Amsterdam server(s). Second, I'm not even sure this method would work.

    Is there anyone who could help me out with this issue?

    I've tried posting in the tech support sub on the official forum but nobody ever replied to my post. I've also tried to directly contact GGG's tech support but got an auto reply saying that tech support won't be available until February due to a lack of staff.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the lengthy post but I can't summarise any better than this. Thank you all in advance.

    [BSC] +9 Intelligence Gems (w/ Empower) Spell Caster Bow

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 02:34 AM PST

    What is really going on with the support?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 02:58 AM PST

    First off i would like to just clarify, i have been apart of the PoE community since watching Kripp race back in the day. I adore the job that GGG is doing, how close they are us in the community, the amazing quality and amount of content that they are pushing and the transparency into close to anything.

    This is why i find it even more important to voice my concern when something clearly is not what it should be. For me today marks 3 weeks since i first sent my support ticket, 3 weeks since i was able to log in and play at all. Since i have been waiting on average a week for responses, responses that has been with the most simple of questions that instead of being spread 2 by 2 could have been asked together. Responses that has been from different people each time. One of them came 10 minutes after i posted about this on the forum, from the same staff member that had earlier commented on that same post.

    But what is scary is that my situation is not some stand out case, if you look around and browse the forums you can find countless of people in the same situations as me, people that has waited even longer then my 3 weeks. People with issues like locked accounts, bans, not receiving what they donated for and inability to access their accounts. So these are not some low priority just questions.

    Most people i have talked with use the excuse that the game has seen a massive wave of new players, but instead of an excuse is this not a reason to do anything to fix this. Make sure that these new people have a good first contact with the support and dont look at GGG the same way as most companies out there right now?

    Chris went out in a comment here on reddit talking about the backlog and how they closed the Tech support until its fixed. These are amazing things, but if he is correct that : "The customer support team have been working very hard to get the backlog under control and have been doing a great job so far." there has to be significant changes. Cus if they are doing a good job and people are waiting weeks and weeks to play that is just not ok.

    This is the first time, but im very disappointed in GGG and i cant express how i feel in any better way then to quote Tyler1 "But im fucking addicted, so i cant quit."...

    Result of 500 enchanted fossils

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 06:46 AM PST

    My goal was to see if I can make a profit or break even from pure rng enchanted fossils helmet enchants on hubris circlet

    The amount currency spend on fossils+items are: 500 enchanted fossils-6000 chaos(I bought it all from 1 guy so i was paying a premium price to save time on buying)

    13 Shaper Hubris ilvl 84+-13exalts

    500 Primitive Chaotic Resonators-750chaos

    At this time chaos was 180 so total spend was:9090chaos

    now on to enchant-Shaper bases first:

    3x Volatile dead consumes 1 additional corpse-2ex each

    Blade Vortex Duration 30%-3ex

    Reduced Storm Call Duration 30%-2ex

    Bladefall has additional volley-2ex

    x3Ice Nova Damage 40%-4-5ex

    Blade Vortex Spell Damage 40%-3ex

    Molten Strike fires an additional projectile-3-4ex

    Increased Arc Damage 40%-5.5-6ex

    Glacial Cascade Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage 30%-3-3.5ex

    Arc Chains additional time-30-35ex

    If I take in account a minimal price for all these the end result would be-67-69ex

    Normal Hubris bases ilvl84:

    Tornado shot fires an additional projectile-140c-1ex

    Frostbite curse effect 30%-25-50c

    Contagious inc aoe 12%-80-120c

    Armageddon brand pen 8%-40-60c

    x2Enfeeble curse effect 30%-60-80c

    Storm Brand Pen 12%-4-5ex

    Total amount for these would be again the minimal price-5.5ex-6ex

    Total amount is-72.5exalts with current rising price of chaos(195) that would be 14.137if everything sold at currency price and rate

    Also the most common enchant that would pop is shattering steel and spectral shield trow enchants at least 50 to 70 fossils were those. And I got a random 3l hubris while I was doing this but I dont even know how to price it so I am not counting it in https://imgur.com/a/CnYBJSa

    If my math is off I am sorry I didnt slept for past 12h while I was doing this so good night and have fun

    #820 Has become a spamfest of Breachstone hosting

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 02:13 AM PST

    Seriously. This used to be for challenges. I know it hasn't been the same for a long time, but it's getting ridiculous. I can't visually keep up with the chat, the spam is relentless. It's worse than spam traders on #1 trade chat. We should really consider picking a new chat for challenge focus.

    Surprising way to start the morning

    Posted: 18 Jan 2019 04:30 PM PST

    Surprising way to start the morning

    I came home from work last night, had a few drinks and started organizing gear for my new character, do some trades and log out.

    Woke up this morning and pretty much broke, hungover and wondered where my currency went cause the items I bought were not expensive and great. I log off for a bit and when I log back in I got this.

    Quite surprised by this

    Friendly reminder that it's still not too late to fix Alva's visibility. :)

    And some other Betrayal bugs of course like inability to travel from mine to hideout via hideout button, Fortifications still spawning outside of maps and whatnot.
