    First successful double corrupt ever and what a banger it is...

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 08:17 AM PST

    There are currently 5453 lvl 100s in BSC and 6086 in Standard.

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 10:07 AM PST

    Pure stones are fine though.

    Remember how Chris and Jonathan both said they wanted to slow down the rate at which people got 100s? Well, this league sure shows.

    Why do you need any mtx at all, if you already look like an absolute madman?

    I would be more inclined to run the Mastermind if it gave me all rewards from all members, not just the leaders

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 09:55 AM PST

    idk, I just don't see the Mastermind as worthwhile to run if I'm just going to lose all of the smaller rewards...

    [Discussion] Make the loot hunt exciting again

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 07:46 AM PST

    I think the overemphasis on crafting (both with orbs/fossils and the crafting bench) has gone too far. I think half the fun with ARPG's is the excitement from rare loot drops. Farming currency, fossils and such gets very tedious after a while...

    I'd like to propose a drastic reduction in the frequency which rare items drop, while increasing the the prevalence of high tier mods proportionally. Perhaps even make some shaper and elder mods baseline?

    This is just my 2c. How do you guys feel about the loot hunt?

    Real World PoE Scavenger Hunt!

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 07:52 AM PST

    It is well known that GGG copies content from other sources. From flasks, media, artwork, etc. Since league's dead, lets do a real world scavenger hunt to find all the real world PoE items! (Every game will replicate basic concepts and bases, I'm talking about near copies of real world items that specifically created PoE content.) What can you find?

    Taste of Hate - Copied from real flask: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/6pldcz/taste_of_hate_based_on_real_flask/ and https://www.aspireauctions.com/#!/catalog/70/397/lot/15758 comparison image https://imgur.com/a/UI4iM

    Bringer of Rain - Helmet art, name, and text taken from Spartacus, Sand and blood: Season 1, Episode 2: "What is beneath your feet?" "Sacred ground, Doctore. Watered with the tears of blood." 10:10 Helmet can be seen worn in other episodes.

    My 6 y/o getting his first solo character to maps

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 02:08 AM PST

    My 6 y/o getting his first solo character to maps

    As a proud geek dad, I just wanted to share this here: my 6 year old son killing A10 Kitava on his first entirely solo character. He is using a CI HoAG occultist. Total /played at the time: 1 day, 2 hours.

    https://i.redd.it/ruu6em66oif21.jpg

    Background: We've been playing PoE together for about a year now and he has a few characters that got into maps in the past 4 leagues. However, when he plays solo, he usually loses interest around Act 5-6 and rolls a new char. This is his first 100% solo character that he got into maps all by himself, using only his own currency. I helped him with the actual trading and reading stats, because he doesn't read English yet, but he made all of his own gear selections and told me what stats to look for.

    Edit: I can't fault anyone in this thread for expressing skepticism, it's natural to doubt whatever random people on the internet say. I do think that adults tend to underestimate the capabilities of younger kids, unless they have one of a similar age. So here's some video that will hopefully allay your concerns about the original post being somehow fake. Yes, it's a 5:30 minute Jungle Valley. It's not about efficiency, it's about chewing bubble gum and kicking ass, and he's too young to have bubble gum.

    https://reddit.com/link/aor2zs/video/h8npv56khkf21/player

    It's easy to post anonymous negative comments on the internet, but much harder to admit you were wrong and retract your statement. I'm curious to see how many of the naysayers will take the high road.

    P.S. - Ok ok, I'll clean the PC. :)

    Underused Skills Challenge (Private League) - Goes live ~16 hrs from post!

    Posted: 08 Feb 2019 06:17 PM PST

    I will again be funding the league to get it started. The league will be created Saturday, February 9th at Noon USA Central, so the first people interested just need to be invited. Then hopefully it can be crowdfunded from there.

    Countdown Timer: Check the forum link, IDK why this is somehow breaking reddit.

    Forum Link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2325666

    Private League Link (Will be added when created): https://www.pathofexile.com/private-leagues/league/Underused+Skills+Betrayal+SC

    Okay, so I massively screwed up. I was trying to do too many things and accidentally created the league in Betrayal SC, not Betrayal SSF SC. I hope everyone will be honorable considering the gem restrictions are honor based anyway. I also emailed support but they were unable to reset or fix it. Again I apologize but the rules do remain SSF.

    Discord: https://discord.gg/9s6atAT

    Mods are SC Betrayal SSF, Increased Monster Damage (tier 2), Increased Monster Life (tier 2), Added Phys as Elemental to Monsters (tier 2); Multi Proj to Monsters; Increased Monster Speed (tier 2)

    Just a quick tip: Brutus is absolutely insane with these mods, so you've been warned :)

    Chat: /global 15551

    Notice: First, if you are able, please contribute to the crowdfunds as they are updated. On average it amounts to like $.60 per person. But if people aren't crowdfunding, people are stuck waiting to get in. So please consider throwing some extra points at it.

    Second, if you decide to quit, please message me on reddit or through PoE ingame or account messages. It's very difficult for me to tell if people aren't playing, and I don't want to cut someone who is still playing the league. If you aren't playing, that's a spot that someone else could be using!

    Third, I chose the skills based off data from both Betrayal and SSF Betrayal leagues on Poe.ninja. The cutoff was generally 0.1% usage with 5+ links. Then I solicited advice from reddit to see if I missed anything big, or if there were any clear opportunities for exploit. I'm open to arguments until the league goes live, but check poe.ninja to see where the skill is at before posting please.

    Prizes/Goals (in Standard Permanent League if interested. I don't have much currency, but I'll see if I have any other cool stuff. If anyone wants to donate something fun like a Demigod's or alt-art, let me know!)

    1. First Shaper Kill: You are the undisputed King of Crappy Skills (I know of no way to monitor this - another thing that would be cool to add to private leagues somehow)
    2. Anyone else who kills Shaper: You can join the King's Court and scoff at all the other plebeians
    3. Top level of each class: 5 exalts
    4. Deepest Delves: 10 ex for 1st, 5 ex for 2nd.

    Rules

    You must make your profile and characters public, otherwise there is no way to see that you are playing the allowed skills below.

    As soon as you enter Merveil's Cavern (when you get access to lvl 12 gems) and beyond, you can only use the following "underused" skills and/or their Vaal version:

    Golems (only Lightning, Chaos, or Stone)

    Icestorm

    Magma Orb

    Power Siphon

    Animate Guardian

    Wither

    Frost Bomb

    Lacerate

    Ancestral Protector

    Charged Dash

    Lancing Steel

    Fire Trap

    Lightning Strike

    Earthquake

    Ice Crash

    Wild Strike

    Incinerate

    Dual Strike

    Flamethrower Trap

    Vigilant Strike

    Ethereal Knives

    Firestorm

    Cremation

    Shrapnel Shot

    Molten Shell

    Dark Pact (see note regarding Summon Skeletons below)

    Flame Surge

    Mirror Arrow

    Storm Burst

    Contagion (No essence drain, so if you want to use Contagion (which I don't recommend, knock yourself out!)

    Explosive Trap

    Static Strike

    Flame Totem

    Spectral Shield Throw

    Siege Ballista

    Viper Strike

    Molten Shell

    Split Arrow

    Burning Arrow

    Animate Weapon

    Heavy Strike

    Infernal Blow

    Shockwave Totem

    Explosive Arrow

    Puncture

    Sweep

    Ice Trap

    Lightning Tendrils

    Conversion Trap

    Freeze Mine

    Frenzy

    Glacial Hammer

    Siphoning Trap

    Detonate Dead

    Storm Burst

    Seismic Trap

    Frost wall

    Fire Nova Mine

    Ball Lightning

    Orb of Storms

    Defensive skills: Molten Shell, Tempest Shield, Immortal call, Bear Trap etc. - all defensive skills are okay

    Skeletons: Because of Summon Skeleton's unique interaction with Dark Pact, you can use a 4-Link Summon Skeleton NOT Vaal Summon Skeleton, with any of the following support gems (Fortify, Minion Life, Minion and Totem Elemental Resist, Spell Totem, Empower). With or without summon skele, Dark Pact use is very low.

    Golems: You can use any of the three golems listed above in any way you choose. However, Ice Golem and Flame Golemmay only be unlinked, or linked to defensive support gems (like minion life) or CWDT.

    Heralds: This was a big oversight last time! You may use any heralds so long as they are unlinked (Enlighten Support being the only exception). Banners have the same rule (you can use Generosity for banners)

    Other Exceptions: corpse creation skills, offerings, auras, curses, support gems and skills (molten shell, warcries, blood rage, arctic armor, etc). counterattacks (these CAN be linked to damage supports if you choose), non-damaging totems, and movement skills (except cyclone, consecrated path, and flicker strike). You can use Ancestral Warchief totem for the buff only (i.e. unlinked).

    EDIT: I've added Frost Wall, Blast Rain, Fire Nova Mine, Ball lightning, Orb of Storms, and Summon Skeletons (Not Vaal, and with restrictions above); Clarified that Offerings are just fine and that Banners can be linked to Generosity, you CAN use spell totem or Ranged Attack Totem with any of the listed skills. You can't use damaging natural totem skills that aren't listed. This is confusing as the only damaging natural totem skill that was not listed is Ancestral Warchief Totem. You can't use that as a main skill, but can use it unlinked for the buff if you want as previously stated. Sorry if you thought you couldn't use totems :(

    Check back before launch to see if there were any other additions or omissions.

    I can't add people until league creation goes live (one of the main limitations of this Private League System). You'll need to apply to the league on the actual league page, which I will post when it goes live! Thanks!

    Also, if anyone has thoughts on a league that restricted top Ascendancies I'd like to hear your thoughts!

    Hardcore: Maybe I'll go back to HC next time. It was fun seeing the leaderboard wipe constantly, but I wanted to open it up to more people this time

    Also, I'd like to see what people do for endgame since very few people made it even close in HC. I'd guess at least 25% didnt get past brutus, and 5-10% didnt even make it off the beach

    If I go back to HC I think I might tune down the difficulty mods to tier 1

    Since a few people are asking and about 20-25% voted for Hardcore in the poll earlier, I would have no problem if someone wanted to create a Hardcore mirror league and fund or crowdfund it. If you do, I'll edit the post and add a link and explain that it's run independently. All I ask is that if you create post for a mirror league, you link to this reddit thread and the official forum thread so people know they can play softcore too. The way private leagues work right now, it's just too much work to manage two leagues at once.

    When are we getting a date for ExileCon?

    Posted: 09 Feb 2019 01:08 AM PST

    They told us we'd be getting more info in January.

    I'd love to attend, but as a European, a trip to NZ requires a good bit of planning.
