    When you hope the new league brings new memes but the old ones keep popping up

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 03:58 AM PST

    GGG, please consider visual clutter when designing new leagues and boss fights.

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 11:30 PM PST

    I have no idea how the Sirius boss fight got approved. The entire arena is in a dark shade and you have these black/red stuff spinning around in the ground. The boss attacks are also this weird red shade which makes it a pain to actually see what the hell's going on during the fight.

    This boss fight is probably the worst boss fight in the game atm, up there with Vilenta's bullshit visual clutter.

    Almost every league has this problem, it's honestly getting frustrating right now. Betrayal had this green over green of visual clutter, and the Mastermind fight was just near unplayable because of all the green color.

    Metamorphs, I'm just unable to tell what killed me in most of the scenarios. If I see a black tar rushing towards me, most of the times that's all I see before getting one shotted.

    I would love to hear other people's opinions. Boss fights (and especially visual clutter) is getting so annoying.

    PSA: If you kill a boss possessed by a ghost and use its organ to summon a metamorph, the metamorph will also be possessed by a ghost...

    I don't know if this is intented but the metamorph was hard to kill!

    This is the most even meta ive seen since i started playing

    Zana's "Still sane, exile?" now actually sounds threatening, not only because of the updated atlas story, but also because of the way she says it

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 06:53 AM PST

    ...whereas before, it sounded more like a "how are you doing, mate, all good?"

    Love all the subtle but noticeable "flavor" changes like this that GGG does.

    can't find citadel watchstone thing

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 07:37 AM PST

    I think the big mis-step for 3.9 was not including a robust tutorial/explanation of how to work with the new Atlas.

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 08:58 AM PST

    I've been playing since 2012 and I've never felt this lost on how to approach an in-game mechanic. The closest to this level of confusion I can remember was when Synthesis launched, with nobody having a clue how to synth-craft or set up the memories. At bare minimum, it could have used a textual explainer/guide (similar to the Betrayal board) if not an outright video explainer (like the ones Chris narrates for league mechanics).

    With PoE2 on the horizon and Metamorph adding yet another layer of unpredictable rippiness to the game, the time is ripe for GGG to seriously consider a solution to the instant burst problem.

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 06:00 PM PST

    GGG, I respect that you're trying to make the game more mechanical, yet at the same time most of the content is a wild jungle in which random modifiers stacking randomly too often create sudden death at the hands of mobs that look and act the same as any other monster. This is not a feature. It is a problem. One that leads to a self-contradiction, as it uncomfortably rubs shoulders with the philosophy of creating fair bosses whose dangerous attacks are clearly represented. Yet a handful of, or even just one or two, conveniently rolled and positioned monsters can be as dangerous as Shaper, but without having to pay for that power in any way.

    To me, it seems only natural that players would do everything in their power to kill such enemies so quickly that, it might be argued, they don't engage with them at all. It's the safest strategy. Your recent balance changes show that you don't like this, but as you made enemies tankier, you didn't curb the unpredictable damage which is half the reason to go fast.

    PoE2 is on the horizon. It's now or never. I don't care what you have to do. Take all my regen, all my leech. Kill Vaal Pact. Remove life flasks from the game. Add a logout timer if you have to. Just stop with the random bursts. Half the times I die, it's due to stupidity or greed. I own those. The other half are force majeure, acts of mathematical calamity from a system that is allowed to create extreme peaks in a context where they don't belong. There's never going to be a better opportunity to make this kind of change, and you've already proven you're not afraid to shake things up. Please consider this.

    The new Atlas mechanic does not support party play

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 02:31 AM PST

    I haven't been able to progress much due to 3 issues so far:

    1) When you first encounter Zana in your party owner's atlas you will receive the missions to explore the corner regions of the atlas, but Zana won't join your hideout unless you find the first citadel in your hideout.

    2) You will have a hard time finding a citadel in your own atlas if you have explored many maps through party play in your friend's atlas because you can't possibly keep track which maps you have explored on YOUR atlas and which not. At the moment I am sitting at 2 fully explored atlas regions but no citadel found. Probably need to rerun the maps I ran in group but don't remember which ones they were...

    3) When you actually DO find a citadel in your own atlas but a party member enters the Zana portal first by mistake you don't get the unlock of the citadel on your atlas similar to when you find it in someone else's map.

    These issues are decent proof that GGG didn't consider party play when making this new atlas mechanic so my advise for you is to abide their rule and do this shit solo until it may get fixed next league.

    Fix servers FFS! Lost 3 instances already today

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 06:21 AM PST

    The server quality is absolute shitshow this league. Instances drop on hourly basis, this is unacceptable. I can't even progress my atlas because I'm losing key maps. Not to mention periodic lag waves that may easily result in RIP.

    So many topics on this and not even a single confirmation you are aware of it and working on it. I've lost probably 20+ instances by now since league started which is: 1) unfun 2) waste of time 3) hinders atlas progression 4) it's simply bullshit.

    This is angry rant you once asked for, so now do your part!

    Edit: so per some recommendations here, I switched to London - it seems stable (at least no instance RIP in 3h I've played on there). But Milan, Paris and Frankfurt were crashing instances since league launch and we can't expect to everyone jump on London, because it will get overloaded and that is not a solution. Hope the admins take a look at what's going on - I'm sure they log instance crashes and there should be quite a bit of them from me alone :)

    If anyone was curious like me, the new influence items sell for normal exalt shards (had a slim hope they just might sell for Hunter exalt shards)

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 04:30 AM PST

    The fact that I can't see what maps I don't have completed while regions are influenced REALLY sucks.

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 09:51 AM PST

    I hate being forced into this content, it feels like a chore. I just want to work on my map completion but I can't even do that since influenced regions make your citadel disappear and the map tab is wonky as hell :(

    I..don't think I like the new Atlas :(

    Posted: 17 Dec 2019 10:56 PM PST

    It's weird, I feel guilty for not liking it. I guess I should be thankful that it took 2,700 hours before I found something I dislike enough to make a post about. I hoped that once I understood it better that it wouldn't bother me as much but that doesn't seem to be the case. In an effort to not write a novel, here are my top 3 things that bother me about the Atlas.

    1. It's tedious. Are we supposed to memorize which maps are in which areas? Tabbing back and forth to see what maps I have in the area I need is awful.
    2. It's needlessly complicated. Example: Oh you did your quests and got a couple watchstones? Cool! Let's move them around and see what they do since there is no explanation. Oops! You put 2 watchstones in the same Citadel thing and now they're gone. Bummer.
    3. You can't just *play* anymore. Shaper and Uber Elder were optional. You could totally ignore them if you wanted to and be perfectly happy progressing through maps just to level your character. Some leagues I didn't feel like messing with Elder and Shaper influence, so I just..didn't. And it was fine. Now, unless I'm not understanding it correctly(which is entirely possible), the new Atlas is mandatory participation or your maps will never get over tier 5 or whatever. And since the Exiles won't spawn in the same map you just ran, then you're even more incentivized to buckle down and plan out or even buy maps.

    More often than not, I get home from work and just wanna run a couple maps before bed. I just wanna *play*. I don't want to spend my time digging around for maps in certain areas or buying maps because I'm level 90 and my highest tier map is 5.

    Hoping I wake up tomorrow and someone has called me an idiot and explained what I'm doing wrong. Cheers!

    Win 7 64 bit memory leak

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 09:33 AM PST

    As of the most recent patch, there seems to be a memory leak for users on Windows 7 64 bit. I'm curious if any others are experiencing this.

    https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2697462/page/1

    https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2697863

    Basically the game will work fine for the first few minutes after starting. But eventually memory use climbs to max (basically locking down the entire PC) until alt+F4 to kill the program. Sometimes this just happens over time, but there also seem to be some specific triggers, such as opening the passive tree or encountering a large group of mobs with lots of effects on screen. After restarting the game, it functions just fine for a short time until memory use climbs up again. Sometimes I have time to complete a map or two, but sometimes I can't even get a third of the way through the first map before I have to restart.

    Performance has been completely fine for me all league (actually, ever since I started in closed beta) until the patch last night, with no changes made on my end to pc hardware or software other than the patch.

    If You Are Streaming On Twitch - Add Main Skill In Title

    Posted: 18 Dec 2019 02:19 AM PST

    It's very frustrating since Twitch doesn't support tags very good for PoE so I can't filter for example "Scion" or "Molten Strike". And if you don't have the skill I'm interested in watching in your stream title I can't even "Ctrl + F" search it either.
