    Can we get rid of this message when leaving people's hideout? Gets really annoying after trading.

    With the recent nerf to multi craft mod, can we have a prefix version of the mod?

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:08 AM PST

    I mean it only allows 3 mods now which includes the mod itself. A prefix version would allow for better utility while crafting.

    Elderslayers spawn rate turns into my burn-out factor for upcoming league

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 09:41 AM PST

    Hi all. Warning - wall of crybaby text.

    I am relatively enjoining the league right now, but, as many others, I'm getting extremely frustrated after running maps for 2-4 hours straight and not getting a single elderslayer influence spawn\taunt. It really makes you feel like you've just flushed all that time into toilet.
    At the begging of 3.9 it was kinda interesting slowly progressing, collecting watchstones one by one, figuring out how the new Atlas works and the progression tempo was fine by me at that point (maybe just got lucky with Elderslayers spawns). But after first Sirus spawn (and inevitable encounter failure) I felt massive spike in time required to spawn a single influence. In many forums I saw people talking about 1/3 chance to get the influence , but with all honesty it was 1/6-1/7 for me. Thats not so cool but, at least, my character is ~85-ish level, so I'm getting decent EXP running the maps and influence spawn in just a nice bonus. It was fine while it lasted...
    I have all watchstones collected at this point , A8 Sirus killed multiple times , 94-95 lvl character with average gear. My obvious path of progressing is running Elderslayer->Sirus->UberDaddy but I just CAN'T do it , the game does not allow me to. Each Sirus spawn cycle I'm getting at least couple times when I'm running 20+ maps and not getting a single taunt and when the conqueror finally appears I'm thinking "have I just spent 3 hours for 1/12 of my actual objective??" and it really frustrates the hell outta me, because it's something I have zero control over.
    Don't get me wrong , previously UberElder spawning was monotonous as well, but at least knowing how to manipulate influences I could spawn 1 Uber Elder during my standard playing session. As it stands right now - I'm getting ~2 Sirus spawns per week (assuming that I have much longer gaming session during weekends).

    I've watched Chris Wilson's presentation at GDC and it looks like GGG have aggressive policy against "bad luck protection", presuming that it may ruin the game. But with all respect - I think Elderslayer spawning MUST have such protection.

    Let's say the spawn chance is 1/3: make it so if it is your 5th map - you'll definitely getting the taunt\spawn. So accumulative maximum of maps required for Sirus will be <=60 - looks fair enough.

    Today I thought about the next league and the fact that we're going to start from the beginning , get all the 32 watchstones with this crazy RNG - and I'm not excited over it, not a bit. It was interesting and somewhat cool this league, because it was new, but doing it again... oh boy.
    Previous atlas progression felt more streamlined (do map, do yellow map , do corrupted map, influenced map) with the main difficulty in 14-15th fragments , but once again , if you knew how to manipulate the influence - you had at least some control over it. I'm not feeling so sane mr.GGG :(

    [Suggestion] QoL Trading improvement - highlight links in Trade Window

    ~Valuable~

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:10 AM PST

    I sincerely hope 2020 is the year GGG realizes how important QOL features are.

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:49 AM PST

    Trade. Atlas. League mechanics. Information in general.

    You want the game to live up to current gaming standards? This is the way.

    [Suggestion] Tabs in Tab : a custom storage solution for the currency tab

    [Suggestion] Tabs in Tab : a custom storage solution for the currency tab

    Hi !

    After my previous post, i kept thinking on some improvements for the currency tab.

    I thought it might be a good solution to put customizable tabs (with some non-allocated slots) inside the currency one :

    - it would allow to manage existing currencies (oils, catalysts) which have no slots in the current tab.

    - and each time GGG introduce new currencies without upgrading the tab in consequence, we still could store them in a specific spot in the currency tab.

    In addition, I kept playing with the general layout of the tab. I made 2 variants : one with 3 item slots and another one with 2. I tried to make orbs positions revelant for the crafting process, or maping purpose. See pictures below.

    Here an imgur link with a gif showing the custom tabs scrolling in the 3 item slots variant.

    Best build for all content 10-12ex budget

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:05 AM PST

    Let me preface by saying that I'm not a new player (~1100h) played. But I have certainly being casual. Usually I take a character to around level 90, gather 2-3ex in wealth, perhaps kills the shaper once or twice before I get bored and start something new. So, I have never really gotten into the true end game.

    But lucky this time around, I got a Doctor card drop (stacked deck) which I sold for 12ex. And I was wondering if I have enough currency to invest into a new build to "crush" the end game. Or if I should be investing into one of my existing builds. I'm open to suggestion! POB links please!

    Currently I have:

    a molten strike Jugg that's very tanky but doesn't clear as well and lacks single target (3ex budget)

    a cyclone slayer dual wield that clears decently but is prone to one shot (3ex budget)

    a CoC frost bolt/ice nova with one Cospri and basically crap gear

    I want to Avoid:

    summoner builds, totem builds for play style preference. Never played mine/trap builds (doesn't sound appealing but is open minded)

    Minimalistic Guide On How to Spawn Sirus the Awakener (AL8) Fast

    Posted: 22 Jan 2020 09:31 AM PST

    Minimalistic Guide On How to Spawn Sirus the Awakener (AL8) Fast
    • Step 1: Run different T14-T16 (!) maps of a specific area until first influence spawns
    • Step 2: Run different T14-T16 (!) maps of an area next to the first one until influence spawns
    • Step 3: Run different T14-T16 (!) maps of an area next to the second one until influence spawns
    • Step 4: Run different T14-T16 (!) maps of an area next to the third one until influence spawns

    Your Atlas now should look like this:

    https://preview.redd.it/n4uk7re77dc41.png?width=1893&format=png&auto=webp&s=317792fe0ff00c67307f85f651ed85fe4281fb4b

    • Step 5: Run different T1-T13 (!) maps of each of the influeced areas until you spawn the last trigger to get the Zana quest for the respecitve conqueror
      • Rule1: Never run the same map back to back. (This also applies to step 1-4)
      • Rule2: Leave the map as soon as you have triggered the conqueror (don't clear; don't kill metamorph)
      • Rule3: Leave the map as soon as you have killed ~150 mobs and the conqueror didn't spawn and run the next map. (don't clear; don't kill metamorph) Repeat until you have received all Zana conqueror quests.

    Zana now has all conqueror quests for you:

    • Step 6: Kill all Conquerors
    • Step 7: Kill Sirus the Awakener
    • Step 8: Be happy. Repeat.

    // Sidenotes

    • Sidenote 1: You can juice your atlas with sextants when you do Step 1-4 for maximum xp/profit. If you do so, make sure to run T14-T16 maps (the higher the better) in Step 5 until the sextants in that area are used up and then switch to low tier maps. This way you don't waste sextants.
    • Sidenote 2: If you get a Zana quest to kill a conqueror before you have spawned all four influences you've fucked up. Then you have to kill the conqueror because if a Zana quest is available there is no new influence spawning. (This can also be pretty bad luck, but might be even true ... so don't risk it and spawn each influence before you continue to spawn conquerors)
    • Sidenote 3: Don't get cocky cause of bad RNG. Sometimes you just have to run more maps than you would like to, but shit happens.

    Im probably never going to enjoy poe again ever, as much as this league.

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 03:38 PM PST

    Even if metamorph goes core, its 1 in 10 maps or whatever.

    Not seeing where packs of mobs are on my map will just feel absolutely terrible. If this league was released JUST that and no metamorphs i wouldve been happy.

    Im not even exaggerating, it will be sad times after this league.

    Sirus Scammer Alert: @Jugbossingever

    Posted: 21 Jan 2020 06:27 PM PST

    Got my sirus portals and after attempting it twice to no avail, i decided to hit up global 820. Some guy by the name of Jugbossingever was advertising "free sirus kills. Your loot. twitch.tv/moldere". Being the skeptic that i am, i went to his twitch and watched him killed a guy's Sirus first. Nothing dropped and he was decent enough to pick up whatever garbage that dropped to hand to the owner of the portal. With that, I decided to ask him to help me with mine. He said np.

    Well, he died once because he was sitting in storm and replying to someone trying to buy his 45c gloves. Then after he killed sirus, an awakened elemental focus dropped along with the awakener gloves. I died in the instance, so i pretty much watched the whole fight and saw the drops. But as soon as i left the instance, his stream died. (it was on like a 1-2min delay) After that, he left party and got offline.

    Here is the screen he killed his twitch on: https://imgur.com/gV8looj This is our conversation leading up to his prompt evacuation: https://imgur.com/oMMmNgK

    To "Moldere". I hope that 180c gem and 45c gloves was worth your dignity.

    And to anyone who thinks it might be, no, this is not witch hunting. This guy IS a scammer.

    Edit: Lmao. So it looks like i'm talking to myself, but he was talking in party.
