MS Paint Megathread + Patch 3.6 Compiled Information Thread Posted: 01 Mar 2019 02:33 PM PST Reddit only allows us two stickies, so this is now two threads in one! Please post your MSPaint builds as comments here — new threads made for them will be removed and redirected to this thread. The compiled 3.6 info below is also still being updated, and I'll keep updating it until we know everything.     Brand New Info (check this section daily to stay up to date) Mod tier numbers now take the item type into account Synthesised shield implicit: Conductivity curse effect March of the Legion     Major Announcements & News Posts Announcing Path of Exile: Synthesis ZiggyD's in-depth Synthesis mechanics explanation video Betrayal integrated into the core game (some details here) Atlas rearranged again (details to come) Development Manifesto: Betrayal as a Core Game Mechanic     Minor Announcements Labyrinth enchantments are now separate from implicit mods Overhaul of PoE's music Consecrated ground now grants crit chance Beyond Zana mod back with changes You can't chance synthesised items into uniques Fancy Zana??? Zana mods for 3.6 Sulphite-containing areas will always have three deposits Divided and Sanguine Hideouts Haunted Hideout Alpine Hideout Mod tier numbers now take the item type into account     New Skill & Support Gems Bane Divine Ire Malevolence Purifying Flame Soulrend Wave of Conviction Zealotry   Spell Focus Support Unleash Support (mechanics analysis)     Reworked/Updated Skill & Support Gems Every spell in the game is getting a balance pass. Details to come. Anger Blight Essence Drain (also very likely to be getting a substantial damage buff) Flame Totem Holy Flame Totem (video) Frost Bomb Hatred Scorching Ray Storm Burst   Storm Barrier Support (teased in the announcement page but no details yet)     New Unique Items (9/16) Bottled Faith Circle of Nostalgia The Eternity Shroud (Shaper drop. Glimpse of Eternity creates an AoE that slows enemies inside it.) (3D art) Hyrri's Truth March of the Legion Mask of the Tribunal Nebulis (may have fire/cold and fire/lightning versions) Storm's Gift Vixen's Entrapment     New Divination Cards Alone in the Darkness Arrogance of the Vaal Dark Temptation The Journey The Landing The Mad King The Messenger Monochrome The Seeker Seven Years' Bad Luck     Passive Tree Changes Inquisitor getting new consecrated ground interactions Changes to Templar area nodes     Fractured Items Fractured items are a new type of item with mods that are locked in place. These mods cannot be changed by crafting. For an example, see here. They also look pretty cool. At this time the assumption is that fractured mods will just be drawn from the same mod pool as normal mods. As such, I'm not going to list all the fractured mods we've seen. Fractured items can have up to three fixed mods     Synthesised Items Three fractured items can be combined to create a synthesised item, which has a new implicit mod (and also looks pretty cool). Apparently we will be able to control what mods the item has by synthesising the correct fractured items, though we will have to figure out how on our own. Here is a list of the new synthesised implicits we've seen. Amulet: reduced Purity reservation Belt: increased life recovery rate Body armour: life/cold resistance Body armour: strength/endurance charges when hit Boots: onslaught Gloves: phys to lightning conversion Helmet: mana/maximum fire resistance Jewel: spell damage leeched as ES Ring: Flammability on hit Ring: increased mana regeneration Shield: +2 to minimum frenzy charges Shield: Conductivity curse effect Weapon: faster poison damage     Media Coverage GameSpot PC Invasion ZiggyD Digital Trends PCGamesN PC Gamer MMORPG.com MMO Games Rock Paper Shotgun TechRaptor Gamepedia Shack News Massively Overpowered RPGamer     Release Schedule (New Zealand Time) Monday, March 4th : Synthesis League Challenge Rewards Tuesday, March 5th: Betrayal League ends, 3.6 Balance Manifesto Wednesday, March 6th: 3.6.0 Patch Notes, Passive Tree and Item Filter Information Thursday, March 7th: Complete new/updated skill gem numbers Friday, March 8th: Patching timeline and (maybe) torrent Saturday, March 9th: 3.6 & Synthesis League Launch. This is March 8th for most of the world — please see the countdown on www.pathofexile.com to determine the launch time for your timezone. XBox launch will likely be March 12th NZT. PS4 version will launch sometime in March. submitted by /u/viperesque [link] [comments]

Chris Wilson Baeclast Summary Posted: 02 Mar 2019 01:29 AM PST -Random notes Nugi asks the longest and most confusing questions ever Blessed orbs will reroll synthesis implicits Chris worried about synthesis being too complicated for the community(The nets are eating my alchemy orbs) Bullshit talking about how the marketing is working(asking if they do a good job explaining the league mechanic) Chris also noted that we are getting a new kind of stash tab made for collectors in the upcoming week. Confirmed atlas shuffling will be a every league thing Private leagues will get more mods etc in the future. Stuff like a durability system Changes how forums work to allow X-box and Playstation to see them selves in forums, and more importantly, allow forums to work when servers go down. -sythensis mechanic 10 puzzle pieces in inventory, up to 25 placed stacking global modifiers in chains sounds like you can branch out all over the place and collect rewards(maybe boss fights) while also stacking long chains with good modifiers have to activate the piece at least once to "lock" it in have to avoid the "blue wall" at all costs, may be lethal but could also TP you out of the instance 40% of the size of a map each puzzle piece "interesting" story driven content inside the synthesis mechanic? (including bosses) Puzzle pieces are based off of lvl of the zone you find it in. (maps are the monster level of the map) subject to change Bosses in Synthesis will be less gated by RNG like delve. They'll only spawn in highish tier maps at a decent rate. Downside to having bosses more common means some of them may not drop guaranteed uniques -synthesis side map zones designed to be completed by anyone, but more connections on the piece means more difficult have to complete tasks to unlock extra connections???(not sure) -where does GGG value a dropped item vs a crafted item? we want to make people pick up rare items crafting is valuable and will always create the most powerful items Chris hates that there are so many items on the ground Can't really change it at this point Trade makes it too easy to get the best items -Nugi asks about power creep!!!! Chris explains that it is all a process to get all the combinations of power creep on an item, makes it harder and rarer to obtain Trying to make the power creep interesting and more like making choices rather than one playstyle being the best -Melee questions 3.7 is melee patch chris doesnt know if any melee changes are in synthesis patch explains how the community tries to shift the focus of what they want all the time(complaints change, GGG cant fix it before it gets foregotten) Can't make huge sweeping changes or the game will just disintegrate(slower clear speed, less item drops, etc) In order to fix some skills they have to be completley reworked (3.7 could be a lot of melee reworks) reworks take more testing(blahblahblah) -Archetypes Straight forward, easy to play started a few leagues ago, never advertised I see these as being the new "build of the week"(more like build of the league) New skills are always designed to be good(they dont want to have to rework a skill immeditaley) Dont want "noob trap" skills Holy & Chaos, Cold DoT stuff etc are 1: A marketing tool and 2: a way to advertise to players builds they can choose to play and be relatively strong -Whats spells are you most excited about? excited about not having build guides to rely on becuase all the skills are new again just wants variety(Tornado shot here we come) -Any movement skills changes? No changes to "movement" skills that chris is aware of He doesnt think "movement" skills are wrecking the game but htey are keeping an eye on it They are always working on new movement skills, they dont always work -Will you turn off old league mechanics? Chris doesnt think they need to retire anythign at this point They could decide to turn any league off at any point they feel it is necassary They want leagues mechanics to stick around but they dont always fit correctly(can always come back and add it back in later, beastiary) Don't really talk about it before the league if it will stay, they decide near the end -League specific items??? (So many ways to get them now) Reward creep, same idea as power creep (it's all a balance) compares it to reliquary keys and why they dont include them in every league -Exilecon ~1500 people $200ish tickets VIP tickets for developer dinners and other things Going to be streamed for free Single MTX for live attendees 4.0.0 & 3.9.0(December Expansion) Announcements -thoughts on larger actions bars? more skill slots? they'd like to add more but havent had the time -fossil stacking? its on the list of things to do -balance manifest on tuesday about aoe???? -lab enchants they don't want to kill lab farming, can't make enchants too easy to get possibly add enchants for different gear slots? potentially add an item to "move" the enchant to an item you want -unique rebalancing? just small rebalancing waiting to see what happens with the new skill rebalances submitted by /u/Dahun [link] [comments]

Sulphite Scarab Nerfs Posted: 02 Mar 2019 12:43 AM PST submitted by /u/skysoldier319 [link] [comments]

Delve early progression should be a lot faster Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:28 AM PST I will start by saying - perhaps this will be addressed in Synthesis patch, but perhaps not, so while there is some time left to make some tweaks I wanted to discuss this early progression. Delve is really cool piece of content but the main problem with it is that it lags heavily behind in content level compared to your character progression. Lets focus on average player type who plays a build to ~lvl 90 and then rolls a new build, because let's be frank, only very small chunk of people push towards the 100 - thus I will use that average player archetype for this comparison. So basically - you play your first league character and by the time you are lvl 90 and you probably pushed into red map teritory, the delve is only like mlvl (mob level) 73 or so (T5 equivalent). You roll a second character - and progression on 2nd one is even faster because you have map pool already, by the time you hit 90 with this one - you probably are into killing Shaper/uber elder teritory (so end-game map content) but in delve it will be smth like mlvl 76-77 (Tier 8-9 map) so you are still far from end-game delve pushing. So basically early progression is way too slow and feels like a very long grind thru boring content that feels way too easy for your character for way too long. I understand the part of top reward gating, but that starts at depths equivalent to mlvl 80+ (so T12+ territory). It's totally fine to be slower on more time consuming past that point. I think delve should have a lot faster progression till you reach T10 level of content, so mob level 78. In matter of fact - this is the only piece of content that lags so much with mob level compared to your character progression and level of other pieces of content - which imho doesn't feel neither fun or right. We don't know if it's being addressed or not, but I guess it should and I think now it's time to worry, not when the league starts. submitted by /u/walentaz [link] [comments]

Sneak peek at the collectors tab Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:37 AM PST submitted by /u/drac69 [link] [comments]

Such an amazing, helpful community. Posted: 02 Mar 2019 11:10 AM PST I just came here to say how insanely helpful the path of exile community has been on my first night playing. I've been meaning to give it a try, so last night I streamed the game with a title that said I was new. And right away I had people giving me pointer, tips for addons, and near the end of stream someone actually traded me a ton of items that will actually last me through endgame. I was so grateful, and just blown back by the community. It's hard to find any games anymore that aren't saturated with toxic players. submitted by /u/Needlessspace [link] [comments]

Now that the league is almost over, I must say that there was sooooo much effort put into the voices from the syndicate this league. Posted: 01 Mar 2019 07:35 PM PST Today, I actually noticed how many lines each syndicate member has for almost every specific situation (for instance, I have never even heard the quote "Course ye need me help ya meatheaded wanker." before!). This actually got me to look into how many voice lines there actually are for Betrayal, and damn... GGG has done such a great job with this! submitted by /u/account456123456 [link] [comments]

How Poe helped me out and how Haku was there for me when I needed it. Posted: 02 Mar 2019 01:34 AM PST Hi, I'm feeling a bit uneasy writing this as it is something a bit personal that I haven't shared yet with anyone, and I feel it might sound ridiculous. ​ A few years back, I dropped out of college. I had no idea what to do with my life, and felt I couldn't achieve anything. I realized that having a dual citizenship, I could move away from the shame and pressure I felt at the time. Not only in another country, but another continent. So I did. And lo and behold, I pictured it as a self-inflicted Exile. After a few month of small jobs (construction, security, you name it), and making no new friend in a country in which I was alone, a friend from back home told me about Path of Exile. All I could think was «Eh, how fitting!», and so I dived into it in the middle of Perandus league. And when I say dived, it was my only activity beside work and sleep for the next 8 months. I even took a 2 months break in between two jobs during which I was playing 10 to 12h a day (rookie numbers, I know), eating once a day, and just going from maps to maps, not trying to git gud or get rich or anything, that was a pure dive into Wraeclast just going builds after builds after builds. ​ Fast forward to the point I recognized that I was going nowhere in my life and decided to get back home; I got back to motherland (not Russia), and moved back to my parents place for a while ( you can imagine what it's like to do that after taking care of yourself and being financially independent for a year) where I stayed unemployed for 5 months. All the while, PoE. Found a unpaid internship in a big company that was looking for a «Fresh look, unburdened by college education» on a project, which gave me excellent references instead of a job. During that time, I had gotten back with my girlfriend and stayed at her place as much as I could, feeling like a squatter. All the while, PoE is still on the background. A week after my internship, I applied to an engineer position in a cool small company and was taken on the spot (at that point it was a pure wtf moment for me, I didn't even expect an answer when I applied) . Stayed at gf place for a few weeks and then got my own place And then it happened. From the start of college to this point, I had felt like an useless shit unable to achieve anything, but that day, I was at my place, steady in my new job, in a happy relationship and I logged to Standard to see I could level Haku to lvl8. So I did. And the speech he gave upon reaching level 8 is as follow: ​ Tukohama has blessed you, warrior, made you his brother in blood and spirit. I can see it now in your eyes, your stature, your presence. I would carve into your visage the marks of Blood, the greatest honour the Karui can bestow. For you, the path of the warrior has come to an end. The time has come for you to lead, to forge a new path, so that all that come after may learn and prosper from your example. ​ It as as that moment I felt all the relief I should have felt gradually; I was doing ok, I didn't need to struggle to stay alive anymore. I can't express exactly how I felt other than redirecting you to that «It's finally over» meme of Frodo. ​ Anyway, my point is: I'm really glad GGG put a Hipster haircut to new Haku because I was afraid I'd feel guilty killing him after the story I told you. But with that haircut, I really don't. ​ ​ Stay sane Exile submitted by /u/jesuscrossproduct [link] [comments]
