    [Serious] I want 'cleaning up' league

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 05:34 AM PDT

    No new content. For all I care, it could be flashback for 3 months, with Legion included and stuff, but please, allocate more resources for 3 months into

    Better server stability

    Improved performance.

    Improved trade API

    More QoL features

    More bugfixing

    More testing and reworking.

    Everything server-related. Brazil servers crashing left-right, Japanese servers unplayable, EU servers sometimes laggy AF and borderline unplayable on certain instances.

    I'm not an expert, and it's just my opinion, but I think a crapload of people want these fixed before 4.0

    Leveling alternate characters. The return of Endless Ledge or Infinite Labyrinth.

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 08:56 AM PDT

    First off, I love PoE and its vast majority of options for making builds, hence why I'm about to talk about leveling alts. I love that GGG dropped 10 acts into our laps, and the story improved significantly. Also moving a majority of the skill books to the last 18 to 22-ish levels help smooth out scaling in power as levels slow down.

    However, that same story gets tedious to repeat after your 3rd character in each league. For some people I know they'd rather never do it more than once. I've had a guild mate say before that he'd rather scoop out his eyes with a spoon than level again.

    The whole reason for this is just the tedium of the quest chasing. Also, I personally detest Vaal Ruins, Temple Pyramid, and Vaal City. I'd gladly never see those again after my first time through each league.

    I would love to see the return of Endless Ledge. Those were one of my favorite races. Give us one town/hub that we can go back to to manage stash/gear and sell/buy from. All gems like Lilly available in town. Have skill books earned around the same level you'd get it in the story, or even just have some of those levels worth 2 skill points.

    Another idea could be Infinite Labyrinth. It would be easy to add in boss rooms for the sake of skill books and bigger loot opportunities.

    A way to lock access to something like this from players each league until it makes sense could be something as easy as Uber Labyrinth. Makes sense thematically for Infinite Labyrinth too, hah.

    I'd love to see input or extensions of my idea here.

    PoE nearly ruining my life?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 05:00 AM PDT

    I finally uninstalled PoE for good. Since the 3.7 Legion patch I started playing again, last Time I played was maybe a year ago. I really enjoyed Legion and I have to say I think it's maybe the best league I played so far. I really love playing this game with all the theorycrafting and options you have for creating your own builds. However there's also a downside to it. Since I started playing again I just played almost every free minute and If I didn't play I thought about ways to maximize my builds or what type of builds I could play, which led to hours of research. I even had dreams about poe and caught myself thinking about it while in conversations. When I realized I was behaving like a junky, I started thinking about deinstalling the game, which kinda made me afraid. Seing I was getting afraid, I uninstalled it.

    I don't want to ruin this game for you, since I think it's one of the best f2p games out there, if not the best. But if you struggle in Life, think about stopping. This game just hooks too hard, which can be really toxic if you're not a streamer or having enought free time for this.

    TL;DR: This game is almost as good as heroin, stop if you're struggling in your life!

    EDIT: I wrote deinstall instead of uninstall, I got it!

    EDIT: Thanks for all the feedback guys! I think I've said what I wanted to say and can finally stop playing this game!

    Blade Flurry STILL with broken targeting

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 04:16 AM PDT

    It's been a month since Legion release and BF still has a broken targeting, making it useless for clear and just efficient/actually good against single target enemies without adds.

    For some reason its attacks avoid hitting the target under your cursor (instead of prioritizing it in some way) and such makes it unreliable to clear Legions, for example. If you need to kill first a given rare enemy, and we all agree that Legion rares are pretty scary, you won't be able to while using BF, as it won't target it. This needs a fix ASAP

    1000 T2 Glaciers, max efficiency. 1k chaos/hour.

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 02:09 AM PDT

    https://imgur.com/a/I3LBIsZ

    Quick Q&A

    What char?

    Why not ED or vaal ice nova?

    • I thought about what char would be the most time efficient and I opted out of everything that didn't have the MS to pick up everything quick aswell. My deadeye was capable of 100% clear with 5-10sec left on the clock, while also having the speed to get to the monolith and pick up all loot.

    Did you clear the whole map or just Legion and out?

    • Only run to Legion and out. Clearing the whole map is NOT efficient in any way.

    Did you use any quant?

    • Yes. 60quant + Windripper.

    How did you run all maps?

    • Just alch and go. Nothing else.

    1k chaos/h is just bait right?

    • No, it took me 16hours to run all maps, and the end result happens to be 16k chaos. However I think you can get even better results. I didn't drop anything big ticket. I was expecting atleast 1 item in 1k runs. Also at 500 maps done I had only 6 pure exalts drop. The next 500 dropped 19 pure. There is huge RNG involved. Don't get discouraged from getting a low streak!

    Did you run any incubators?

    • Nop, I personally don't like them. When farming at this speed they are an annoyance more then anything. I just sell off all of them. And they bring in nice currency. (over 1k chaos)

    You didn't count the hours spent trading!

    • 90% of all items sold were sold in bulk and WHILE doing these maps. I don't pick up a lot to begin with. I didn't count anything that I didn't sell.

    Is t2 glacier better than juiced t16 elder maps?

    • This is hard to say. It depends how you run them. I run elder t16's on my deadeye at max speed too. There is a lot more micro involved keeping up sextants, prophecies etc. I'm not sure if I ever made 90 ex in 1 day farming elder maps honestly. It will be hard to beat. Especially considering zero micro needed to run glaciers.

    I can't sustain Glaciers!

    • Make sure you have your elder orb. It's needed in addition to your shaper orb to get rid of both t3's connected to Glacier (Leyline and Mausoleum) Without this, you will have to buy some glaciers, wich at 1c each is not a huge issue.

    I don't have hundreds of exalts for a build like yours!

    • Go play ED/Contagion. I made the bulk of my early game currency with this character. It runs glacier very efficiently, at a budget of pretty much nothing. You won't get 1k/h results. But you can still do very very well.

    I ran a lot of glaciers and I'm not nearly picking up 16c every map

    • The key here is average gains. Some maps will be really bad and give almost nothing. Others will drop multiple exalts in items. Do more maps to get to the juicy stuff.

    Any other questions, let me know. I will be around to answer them. Hope you enjoy the no-nonsense screenshot. I usually take pics of everything I have but this decided to sell off stuff during playing. This because people tend to see items that are not sold as stuff that you can't count it. So I sold everything. Enjoy!

    EDIT: I am NOT sharing my lootfilter, sorry. I don't want people to copy it blindly and then see nothing drop anymore. Your lootfilter is whatever you find important. I edited mine on Filterblade.xyz. You can easily adjust your filter to whatever you like.

    GGG, Make a column "Favorites" in friend list

    Posted: 13 Jul 2019 07:36 AM PDT

    I think it is a good idea to make it possible to add friends to your "Favorites" so that they are always at the top of the friend-list and we would have quick access to them. It is much more convenient than looking for your homies in an ever-expanding list of friends.

    GGG's unreasonable refund policy?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 04:22 PM PDT

    Basically what happened is:

    1. Bought $60 Cult of the apocalypse Legion Support pack.
    2. Didn't like the look, asked for a refund (within 12 Hour of purchase)
    3. They reply late saying they can't, because i haven't requested within 48 hours.
    4. Sent them screenshots with timestamps to show that i have.
    5. Now they are saying I can't get a refund because.....

    'I'VE TRIED THEM ON'

    Really...?

    Word for word, 'In this case, the cosmetics were all equipped, therefore the pack is no longer eligible for refund'

    I know that I'm not entitled for a refund and that I should have been more careful when making a purchase.

    If they straight up told me 'we don't do refunds for mtx' at first, I would've accepted it. But, for this reason...?

    What are your thoughts and experiences?


    edit: someone requested for proof so here it is (OP paint skills):

    https://imgur.com/a/IqhRwXs

    Sorry for some Korean in advance. Also, I'm not mad or anything because I couldn't get a refund (I've already kinda given up). I was just curious and wanted to bring attention to the fact that a big company like GGG

    still doesn't have an official refund policy.

    Powerful windup attacks + ability to target players off screen = Bad Gameplay

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 03:56 PM PDT

    EDIT: The people who's only response is make a beefier character, is that really the direction you want the game to go? You have to make super defensive characters because enemies winding up with super strong attacks off screen and one shotting you is acceptable if you have less than perfect defensives? I myself don't think I could play a game where I have to constantly be on the alert for things I can't see any predict perfectly. Also the entry bar being so high to do this content is just off putting at that point.

    These attacks are clearly meant to be dodged, otherwise you get a massive blow and possibly die. The idea of if your character can't take multiple off screen massive hits its your own fault for sucking at the game is just toxic.

    /Edit

    Orignal post:

    I've made two characters this league a slayer and an occultist. With both of them I'm noticing a very similar pattern.

    I open a monolith and kill tons of mobs, head away from the batter, timer ends, and as I am headed towards the pack as soon or right before I get them on my screen they unleash multiple powerful windup attacks I couldn't see and instantly kill my character. It is one of the most frustrating things I've ever experienced in this game to instantly die with no to almost no monsters on the screen.

    With my slayer I can live through the off screen windups 90% of the time, with my occulist, she is just too squishy and dies 90% of the time if I enter the battlefield the wrong way. The wrong way being walking into it and not zig zagging anticipating a huge windup even though I can't see anything.

    What makes matter worse in my mind is I'm playing on an ultra wide monitor, 2560 x 1080 so I have a larger screen than the average player, but still this is a near constant issue with the league.

    IMO this issue is pretty big. Now that we have these massive instant kill moves that have windups coupled with the fact that they can prepare them off screen and hit you from off screen with them is near game breaking depending on your build.
