    Wave 20 of simulacrum gave me the only thing worse than a talisman.....a talisman shard

    GGG I would rather wait an extra month and have an awesome league than having a 3 month cycle of Wolcen leagues

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    Downvote me to hell if you like but I feel like the one core values of GGG is being eroded heavily. And that core value is : "Player first!" .

    Despite the whines on this very sub the quality GGG has been praised for is the reason I started playing PoE. Sure , there were always bugs and/ or OP/nerfed stuff. But never broken leagues and blatantly missing, bugged or downright useless content that after 4 iterations is still not even close to enjoyable or logical.

    Take an extra month. Hell take two months. Make a soft-patch league with no heavt duty content while working on your big stuff. Just no more Wolcen level of bullshit!

    Rant mode off.

    PSA: Skitterbots are currently absolutely useless, use aspect of the spider until they are fixed.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 03:49 AM PDT

    Edit2: This is getting fixed in the next patch.

    I know there have been several posts about this already but after doing some tests myself I felt the need to stress just how bad they really are this league and I hope GGG sees this and fixes them.

    They don't just have bad AI, they have no AI at all this league. They behave 100% the same as MTX pets, they walk after you and ignore any enemies. If you are standing still they might walk towards them because they walk in random directions but other than that they are always behind you.

    I have tested this using a large cluster jewel with snowstorm (gain 10% of lightning damage as extra cold against chilled enemies), only phys/lightning damage on my spells and the Southbound gloves (can only kill frozen enemies). That means I need my chilling skitterbot to chill enemies for me so I'm doing cold damage to freeze and thus kill enemies.

    I ran into packs in act2 with BV and it would rarely instantly kill the enemies, sometimes it took up to 2 full seconds for the skitterbot to come and chill the enemies that are standing right on top of me. And this is with a build that has 0% aoe with a level 1 BV so I had to stand right on top of enemies to even hit them.

    TLDR: Skitterbots are so bad that even on a mine/trap build which gets the 10% more damage from them they are still not worth using. Don't listen to what pob says, if you are for example a discharge ignite build then all skitterbots does is reserve 35% mana for no benefit.

    EDIT: From several comments it seems like skitterbots are behaving fine as long as you are using some other type of minion (even golems). I am not even using a golem so that might be why it is this bad. Obviously this is just guesswork but that is the gist that I got from some of the comments on here so far.

    This flashpowder gives me +1 to demolition level, yet I still can't run level 5 Demolition contracts with a Level 4 Demolition Vinderi.

    Talismans should given to us when we failed at heists as punishment not as reward

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 01:48 AM PDT

    Well that`s my view about talismans.

    Currency from 144 lockpicking contracts.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 03:35 AM PDT

    Currency from 144 lockpicking contracts.

    Pure currency drops from 144 lockpicking heists

    I wanted to know how profitable the contracts in the current state are, so I bought 144 contracts for 6c each (Seems to be the current price as well).

    Karst equipment: I used a 15% chance for double currency brooch, 10% reduced chest opening alert lvl cloak and stacked as much lockdown time as possible. I got about 40 seconds lockdown time.

    Contracts crashed: 7 crashed but one I managed to recover. You can get back to your contract if it was not in Lockdown yet by trying to find your rogue harbour instance from before (going to hideout -> opening portal to rogue harbour -> repeat). I only did this on one contract (took me about 30 tries) since I had a good synthesis ring I wanted to keep (weakness on hit implicit). The other contracts that crashed I tried 5 times to get it back but then I just gave up and started a new contract so technically it was only Loot from 138 contracts, but I want to count them in.

    How I ran them: All white ilvl 81+ contracts --> Open contract --> Ran until the end while opening all the big reward chests (Even the jewelry since I do love synthesis + fractured items). --> When I opened all big chests, I started opening all small chests while running back to the beginning. On average I could open about 80-90% of the small chests. When in lockdown I just left the area and started the new contract.

    What character I used: Max block cyclone. https://pastebin.com/34ZWwaCm here is the pastebin if you are curious. I died about 4 times but never during lockdown.

    What trinket I used: 3% regal as exalted orbs. Here I think it is either bugged or I was unlucky. I got a total of 260 regals which should be about 7.8 exalts. I dropped a total of 6 pure exalts (not a single one in the first 100 contracts) and the rest are from exalted-shards. Before lockpick nerf (and before I had the trinket) I had an average of 1ex per 12 contracts (Ran about 120 before nerf). Only getting 6 pure exalts in about 144 contracts with a good trinket just seems low. I also had a 15% alteration as chaos trinket but considering I only got 33 alteration orbs (Yes my loot filter shows all of them) this just seems really bad. Don't know why there are so few alterations from all of that.

    Final thoughts: Its profitable but not as much as I hoped. Spend about 10ex in contracts and 2ex in the fee to start it. Took me an average of 4 min to complete + dump and everything per contract. Got about 28ex in currency if I sell everything from the picture. So that makes the average profit/contract about 8-9c when you buy them at 6c. These profits are only from currencies. During these runs I sold 6Ls, synthesis items, winged scarabs etc which also add value for each contract. Take these stats as you want.

    I just hope the new upcoming change will make it so you can complete the heist and it's still profitable as I wanted to grind the endgear challenges, but it just doesn't seem worth it for pure currency.

    Edit: I opened all the stacked decks. 1 Nurse card and 1 gift of asenath for big drops.

    I was blessed by the Emperor's Luck on day 2 of the league (Ps4 unfortunately)

    Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:50 AM PDT

    Kind of ironic considering the league is about making well executed plans and blueprints.

    Can we get rogues to prioritize opening door/chests over attacking?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:30 PM PDT

    My boy Niles keeps stepping on cockroaches instead of opening the doors. Sometimes I even think he gets mad at me, since he just stares at the door not doing what I asked him to.

    No seriously, some rogues are still bugged and make the content frustrating to run, since you have to run back and forth a lot to unbug your allies. It'd be great to finnaly have them fixed in the patch this week as well.

    How rare are Mansion Contracts?

    I did some testing with Anomalous Item Rarity! (Coin Shower on Kill)

    Posted: 29 Sep 2020 08:12 PM PDT

    I spent several hours testing Item Rarity vs. Anomalous Item Rarity, and looking at the effects of the Coin Shower on Kill effect (2%, up to about 4% with lvl4 Enlighten).

    Findings: It does nothing. No sound effect, no visual effect, no Perandus coins, no Rogue Markers, no coin shower. The gem's alternate effect is unimplemented.

    Edit: See Poulol's and thepenguinhead's links below for GGG's response.
