    Updates to the Path of Exile Services Trading Discord

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 06:34 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    We (the mods) been hard at work updating the Path of Exile (Services) Trading Discord server these past few weeks. We added a reputation / vouch bot, channels for harvest craft buying/selling, a detailed guide on preventing scams, and (in progress right now) pingable/mentionable roles for common harvest crafts! We're also banhammering scammers actively now!"

    Don't remember what this server is? See our announcement post for a refresher. Essentially the goal of the server is to allow organized, safe trading for non-trade screen transactions. Boss/breachstone rotations, harvest/bench/temple crafts, bulk sales, challenge completions, etc.

    We couldn't have added these features if not for some of our new Trading mods, /u/delasteve , /u/2ne8 and GRyzL#9113. Please send them love for all of this if you see them around!

    We don't need Harvest going core, we need improvements and consolidation of existing crafting options.

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 06:00 AM PDT

    I see a lot of "omg Harvest best ever" posts, which are out of touch to say the least since league has ridiculously poor retention numbers and keeps shedding players every day.

    What people do like, in my opinion, are the crafting options, not the shell they come in which is very poor and cumbersome. And since game suffers greatly from bloated content feature creep, the last thing we need is yet another league mechanic going core.

    My opinion is we need to take some of the crafting options from Harvest, and integrate them while cutting away all the fat that comes with the Harvest mechanic as a whole. Drop the seeds and the grow mechanic completely. Old crafting mechanics keep getting nerfed while still being kept in the game while additional new much more powerful ones get added, this leads to not only the game becoming bloated, but it makes it less and less accessible to new players who are overwhelmed at the endless stream of currencies/consumables/mechanics thrown at them.

    • Essences are mostly useless

    They have not kept up with the times and power creep left them behind, on top of that GGG nerfed most of the ones that people used. Most of the "special" ones (Insanity/Delirium etc) are only used for one or two mods at best. Rework and rebalance them. I would say add some of the more interesting crafts to the bench and remove the mechanic altogether, but GGG sold stash tabs for it, so i'm guessing that makes the removal not viable.

    • Bestiary is 99% garbage

    There's only a few interesting beast crafts, rest are useless fodder. Would also add the "Menagerie" is a waste of time and resources, beasts could simply be stored in a UI, and if you want to capture one to list for trade, you simply click on it and click "capture", not having to know what part of the menagerie to go in, finding the beast, then be careful not to missclick on the wrong one since they often overlap and keep moving. This is a good example of a cool idea on paper that is terrible in reality and it serves no real purpose.

    EDIT : (i have been informed you can capture them from the UI, to my and other people's amazement, you can stop telling me how dumb i am, i know i'm a stupid beast now)

    • Betrayal is horrendous repetition of endless unveils.

    EVERY. SINGLE. LEAGUE.

    Groundhog Day, the game mechanic.

    Here's a fix. You do Betrayal content, you get "Reputation". Reputation allows you to invest in different "Research Trees" to unlock crafts. The most coveted crafts are at the end of the trees and require some grinding.

    • Delve and the problem with third party websites.

    A random fossil - > Has a Vaal modifier - > What's a vaal modifier ?

    Another one - > More Caster modifiers -> What's a caster modifier ?

    I know GGG is aware of this problem but i cannot stress how important this is. Game is becoming more and more dependent on third party websites and applications.

    So that leaves Harvest. Do we like the crafts ? I don't have a source on hand, but my guess is most of us do like the crafts. And we would like the crafts to stay (obviously with some balancing). I think i speak for most of us when i say we would rather drop or craft our own gear than trade for it.

    BUT, my guess is also that people, most people, don't like the garden, and definitively don't want yet another cumbersome mechanic added to the game.

    My solution is this :

    You have a chance to find a Harvest Cache while mapping (i say restrict it to maps and buff Essences for easier leveling crafting, for example making essences augment items rather than reroll/upgrade to rare). After activating the Harvest Cache, mobs spawn, you fight them and drop crafts that automatically go to your crafting bench when you pick them up. You have a small chance to spawn a portal to the garden where you can encounter one of the bosses for the top tier crafts. Bosses drops fragments, gather all of them and you can spawn a portal to the ultimate Harvest fight vs Oshabi.

    On top of all this discussion about crafting, i would also like to see some other past league mechanics get the chop/get improved.

    • Torment - Just cut it from the game. Horrendous AI, does virtually nothing after ghostbusting nerfs.

    • Anarchy - The exiles just die most of the time and you don't even notice them. They don't drop anything but shitty rares. I would say remove the mechanic but too much work went into them and they are a cool idea, so imo, buff them in hp/danger they pose, and add some cool new drops for them, maybe new uniques, maybe make them drop rares with mods no where else found in the game, etc.

    • Abyss - So shit after the jewel nerfs. The roots expansion also wastes you so much time in maps by making you backtrack.

    • Tempest - yikes, that's all i gotta say. Just remove it. Maybe keep Vaal Winds and that's it.

    • Warbands - Similar to Anarchy.

    • Talisman - Revisit the implicits, allow us to use oils on them. Otherwise, remove from the game. Also, allow us access to the altar, why is it not in the game ?

    • Perandus - Useless coins for useless rewards. Just because one in a million gets Headhunter doesn't mean it's something that should still be in the game.

    • Prophecy - Could use a shakeup.

    • Breach - You took Led Zeppelin and turned it into Nickelback. Please revert the nerfs.

    EDIT : A lot of people focus on stupid shit details in my post instead of focusing on the essence. I threw together this post in 5 minutes, i don't work for GGG to properly come up with a detailed analysis and solutions. The gist of the post is Harvest crafting is good, the Garden is not, game is bloated and many past league mechanics need adjustments and refining. What GGG should take from the bad numbers this league is pulling should not be that strong crafting options = bad player count, league doing badly probably stems from not that great patch in terms of content/garden being unappealing/lack of extra "juice" in maps which we got used to from previous leagues. GGG needs to listen and trust it's playerbase when we ask for simply focusing on streamlining and improving existing content while we prepare for PoE 2 rather than continuously adding new stuff. Look how horribly Delirium got added to the core game when i think a majority of people asked for it NOT to go core and simply add Delirium Orbs/Simulacrum/Cluster Jewels to the core game as regular drops.

    3.11.1b patch notes

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 02:03 PM PDT

    How the game radically changed for me after playing 4k hours over 6 years.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 11:03 PM PDT

    First of all, this is an appreciation post, from someone whose mother tongue is not english. Sorry in advance.

    I've been playing since Beyond/Rampage, almost every league (with the exception of synthesis) and after Delirium, I was seriously considering never playing PoE again. We play as a group of 4-5 every league, and every new league introduces stuff harder to kill, crafting bases harder to obtain and tougher challenges. For the most parts, it's wonderful, and that's what keeps the game alive. But it came to a point where doing anything regarding our neverendingly increasing goals required us to play 5-6 hours a day for two weeks per new league.
    With the trade system being what it is, and us getting better at it, it meant spending more and more time pricing items, studying the meta and so on.

    With Harvest, we decided to play as Guild SSF. So basically, we have a private league just the 5 of us, and keep item exchange between us.
    It has been the redemption of PoE for me. Now instead of pricing items, I'm running maps. Now instead of struggling to endlessly farm exalts, I'm using them to craft. This league made crafting gear so enjoyable, that even in SSF, we have achievable goals.

    SSF also makes picking a build so much easier. You don't really choose, the game choses for you. For example we looted 2 cospri's malice and a shavrone in the first week. And even if it's a build that none of us ever considered playing, the fact that a cospri's malice represents a build in our mind and not a market value made us consider a new way of approaching the game.
    I guess what I am trying to say are two things.

    1st: Thank you GGG, Harvest is a blessing. Not having tougher content, but having new means to reach previous content is amazing.

    2nd To all the guys who seem to be burnout of PoE because of the trade, try SSF, there is no going back for us!

    Crafting an entire set of Fire BV gear for "quite cheap"

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 09:58 AM PDT

    So first of all this will later on be made as video series but I wanted to share all the crafts first so you can make yourself some cool gear.

    These items can be used on all fire BV chars while the belt for example is precisely for utilising warcrys because of the cdr

    Will be the guide but it is FAR from finished so don't mind it yet

    Some of these are not done yet cuz it takes a while in SSF but I provide screenshots for those I do own

    Bow (Not finished due to exalted scarcity in ssf

    1. Farm Porcupine cards

    2. Use shrieking/deafening essence of woe

    3a. Annul all prefixes but spell damage (Cost X Annuls)

    3b. Check step 10 for prefixes as well

    You need at least 1 open suffix and all other suffixes need to be either Cold, fire, lightning, chaos, life or attack modifiers.

    1. If Annul hits spell damage repeat at 2

    2. Farm the bathhouse seeds and get cold, fire, lightning, chaos, life or attack modifiers

    r/PathofExile's Ascent to Emperor: Reddit Plays the PoE Gamebook

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 11:05 AM PDT

    Hello, reddit! Yesterday I received possibly my favorite supporter item to date (not to brag): the Path of Exile Gamebook!

    For those that don't know, it's a choose-your-own adventure style story, with you playing as Weylin, an Ezomyte slave, chosen to seek their destiny in the Lord's Labyrinth and attempt to ascend to the throne as Emperor of Wraeclast.

    The gameplay is a series of puzzles, traps, and fights for your life against the other "contestants", the inhabitants of the Labyrinth, and the Labyrinth itself. As you progress, you grow stronger through a skill tree system similar to the main game, and find equipment to make you more formidable, before you either meet your timely end or earn your prize.

    How it would work is simple. Every day, at Noon EDT, I'll post the text for the current page, and a picture of it (both to keep myself honest, and so you can appreciate the art - it's gorgeous). Stats will be tracked in the post, as well as our equipment, passives, and other important information. Combat is resolved with rolls of 2d6, so I will roll those out myself and narrate the results. Voting on our course of action will be an easy "highest voted comment wins".

    Naturally, if you have played through yourself, please avoid spoiling it for others! Likewise, obviously trolly comments will be ignored.

    Express support or repulsion in this thread. If enough Exiles give a damn, I'll begin tomorrow!

    TIL: During Arakaali's fight, Yeena (who's transformed into a fox) actually helps you by burning the webs left over by the spider eggs.

    Posted: 09 Jul 2020 07:43 AM PDT

    I fought her every league since she was added, but only made the observation when fighting her while leveling my dude in Harvest. Until then, I thought Yeena was there just for show.

    You can see it in action at 1:57 on her mechanics video.

    Horticrafting Station - crating recipes list generator

    Hey! I was looking for a solution to list and group all my crafting recipes and share it with my friends to see who has which crafts - and came up with this concept.

    Detailed preview

    ​

    Compact view

    Example of a listing: https://poetools.xyz/harvest/stations/kavvson

    The full guide is on the main page https://poetools.xyz/ on the bottom

    I am using the POESESSID to get the stash info - does not require to have a public/premium stash.

    If it helps anyone more than me then ill be happy, feel free to share any ideas with me - planning to expand it with some seed listing perhaps.

    Apologies for blaming the PoE servers, turns out it was me

    Posted: 08 Jul 2020 04:48 PM PDT

    Hi,

    A few days ago, I made a post about the many issues I've been facing in PoE this league (lag, freezes, crashes, etc...). Yesterday, I decided to take a break from PoE and installed D3, and what do you know? it's the same issues with lag and freezes. Turns out it was my ISP. I'm getting it fixed next week, but I wanted to mention it and apologize for blaming PoE, sometimes it is the servers, but this time it wasn't.

    Cheers!
