    Please apply the metamorph minimap icon tech to all bosses going forward

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:35 AM PST

    The metamorph organ icons on the bosses feel good, please apply some form of icon on the minimap for bosses going forward.

    I'd very much like to know where the bosses are in their arenas, as opposed to the current state where the big bosses teleport somewhere offscreen and you have to quickly play a game of hide and seek or risk getting yourself wombo comboed from something you can't see.

    I spent the last week helping new players, here are 5 things the game does not communicate to them well enough

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 12:50 AM PST

    As the title says, I spent the last week helping new players.

    I usually sat in one of the slower "global" chats and helped people who said they were struggling with content. This means the people I helped were already a step ahead of 90% of new playerbase since they actually engaged the community instead of never asking for help. There are many ways new people mess up their builds but some of those are GGGs fault because the game does not communicate core mechanics. I'll list the most commonly overlooked mechanics below:

    ​

    1. Getting Ascendancies in the lab!

    This has been by far the biggest sin. Lab is very easy to skip, nothing in the game tells you it's character defining and if you are new it's easy to forget about it. Nothing links the puzzles you get in zones with the green door in Act 3. I have talked to a few people who got to maps without completing a single lab, quite a few others did the first one and didn't know it had 4 stages.

    SOLUTION: Having a "tutorial" style pop-up every time you complete a given trial for the first time. It should show you where to find the lab and your current progress. Having a pop-up would indicate the lab is VERY important. The first 6 trials for lab should also always be "discovered" on the trial Plaque and tell you which zones they are found in. The map trials on the other hand should always list the name and say "Found randomly in maps". The tutorial popup should have a "Never show me Labyrinth tutorials again" tickbox not to annoy the more experienced players.

    1. Resistance Penalties

    The fact you lose resistances is communicated by a single, quickly disappearing sentence that nearly everyone misses because it appear RIGHT AFTER a major boss fight with a lot of other things still happening on screen and Sin doing Sin things.

    SOLUTION: This also calls for a pop-up. It should appear after the Kitava fight and you are already safe in Docks/Oriath. It should explain you lost resistances, urge you to open your character defences tab, should show your current resistances and explain the game is balanced around having them at 75%. This should also help with an issue many players have where they concentrate on Uniques more than on well rolled rares.

    1. Ignoring the Pantheon Upgrades

    Most players, even many experienced ones, forget about the Pantheon. The lack of Pantheon is not as gamebreaking as not having Lab but it's a good defensive layer and new players need all help they can get.

    SOLUTION: Allow us to invite Sin to our Hideout and have him explain what the Vessels actually do once we get to maps.

    1. Customising Loot Filters

    Many new players don't realise different/custom loot filters are even possible.

    SOLUTION: The game should give us more, stricter loot filters (unlockable as you level up) and should show a tip that you can customise them on the loading screen.

    1. Private Player profiles

    One of the largest hurdles I had to go through was the fact all new player profiles are Private. The settings to make your profile public is pretty well hidden on the main site and is not intuitive.

    SOLUTION: "Make my profile public" should be an ingame option. It'd be pretty good if the profiles were public by default, and you could simply "Make profile private" if you don't want anyone to spy on you.

    ​

    To end on a positive note, I found the new players don't struggle with finding a build (streamers and youtubers do a great job promoting their guides) , they don't struggle with their skill tree and they don't struggle with finding uniques on the trade site (rares are another matter altogether).

    If you made it this far, thank you for your attention! Hopefully this brings the issues to light!

    Hello everyone! My name is Bergerbrush and this is my first attempt at organizing a proper race. I apologize in advance if there is some lacking information or if everything isn't perfect as I am very new to this and am fully organizing this myself without any help.

    Here is the thread on the forum which contains all the information: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2761135

    I will also add some quick information here.

    It will be a SSFHC Private League. The Race will be split into 2 categories.

    First to finish Act 5 Kitava. Top 3 competitors will receive prizes.After that it will be a 10 Day League where you grind for the highest amount of EXP. Top 3 competitors will receive prizes.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 04:22 AM PST

    Is there a specific technical/design reason for that?

    Some end of league crafting

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 12:45 PM PST

    Played all Alvas whole League still no Vial drop.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 01:11 PM PST

    Hello Folks,

    i played all my Alvas since Day 1 in our SSF Private League and i dont drop a single Vial.

    I got all Jewels more than twice, the Shield, Flask, Sword and Mask but no Vial.

    Somehow the temple makes no sense if you can't farm items alone.

    Had other people the same experience ?Are they so rare?

    So... what's the deal with Seleslatha not having a Metamorph organ?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 12:23 PM PST

    We've been playing Metamorph for a while now and as I was leveling a new character, I realized that Seleslatha still doesn't drop a Metamorph organ.

    If you're like, "Huh?" Seleslatha is the unique bramble cobra in Act 2's Northern Forest, which used to be the invasion boss Tailsinger (not slinger), but now isn't. She — yes, I arbitrarily decided she's a she — is just a big red snake hanging out there. And as far as I can tell, she's the only recurring unique who just doesn't get a Metamorph organ.

    This poor snake has been through so much. She's been moved around, renamed something unnecessarily difficult to pronounce, and then deprived of participation in the Metamorph league. Why does GGG hate on Tailsinger/Seleslatha so much?

    Was there an explanation from GGG about why the gore trail was removed from the prison?

    Posted: 29 Jan 2020 06:55 PM PST

    It seems like such a pointless removal of what was a very effective and cool part of finding Brutus's lair. In a game that's full of dark imagery is there a reason for it's removal? Was it play tested or something and people quit because of it? Just seems like such an odd change.

    New-ish player looking for help with Currency farming

    Posted: 30 Jan 2020 06:12 AM PST

    I first started out playing in Syndicate league, but never made it to the end game with my 61 ED Occultist and dropped the game. So this is technically my first league. I'm currently playing a level 89 Skelemancer and I've been clearing tiers 8-12 (highest ones I have available atm) with relative ease.

    My problem is that I only ever find Chaos Orbs, and the odd unique that costs 1 Chaos Orb on Poe.trade. my question is how are people getting exalted orbs? I understand a lot of it is luck, but is there something I can actively be doing to increase my odds?
