    Man I love this game, but sometime the plot gets a little grimdark

    Maybe this league isn't for me...

    How to cheat labyrinth.

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:58 AM PST

    Cache exploit to load areas instantly. If the game has problems loading, under specific conditions, a weird bug or failsafe is triggered and it makes all areas load instantly (but with minimal graphical assets).

    I'm addition there are clipping bugs that can be used to go through some locked doors with movement skills (but they require perfect positioning). As far as I know this doesn't work for golden doors, just some switch-locked doors.

    I personality think labyrinth leaderboards with rewards are good btw, but not with this model. This is one of the only speedrunning communities I know that DOES NOT require public verification for submission of times (publicly available in game replays would help address a lot of cheating).

    I'd like an answer why Emperor's Mastery is still gated behind Lab 1st place after 4 years

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 12:08 AM PST

    How is one jewel a day for an entire league playerbase reasonable? 100000 players play your game now, not 10000.

     

    Give the gem to the top X% of lab runners a day.

    Alk rips in delve

    A good build made me enjoy the game much more

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 02:32 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I've been playing POE since Abyss-league and enjoy it quite a lot - but I've never been really good at it.

    I'd consider myself a casual player and I'm playing mostly softcore trade league.

    Usually I would not get much further than yellow maps before I lose interest.

    That's mostly because around that time I start to die over and over again.

    Either because my build is just too weak or because I didn't know/understand the game mechanics too well.

    Due to COVID I had much more time to play this league.

    With the increased playtime I learned a lot about this game.

    And I enjoy it even more now :)

    I started the league with an ED Trickster, switched to LL and made it to red maps without a problem.

    Got to level 94, made a bit of currency and decided to try some other builds.

    I tried melee and a miner but didn't really like that.

    I had my eye on an CoC build for quite a while now, but always lacked the currency to get one going.

    Not this league though (I don't like Heists but they are quite profitable).

    I decided to try an Assassin LL Coc Ice Nova - and fell in love with it :)

    Whirling through enemies feels great and the shattering sound is just so satisfying.

    For the first time I was able to do endgame content.

    I did my first Sirus, Shaper, Pale council, Uber Elder, Uber Atziri and Aul all within a few days.

    But much more important to me was the fact that this build finally kept me interested in the game for more than just two or three weeks.

    It gave me the possibility to engage with the games mechanics and continuously learn more about them.

    Reddit had a big part in this too, as the community here is just awesome!

    Even total beginner questions that may have been asked multiple times over the last weeks still get answered anyway.

    Thank you all for that!

    I'm now at a point where I can comfortably grind T16 maps, conquerors/guardians, delve at depth 300 and I'm trying to learn more mechanics.

    I still die every now and then but I don't really mind that.

    It's mostly due to still not knowing some mechanics or bad play on my side or flat-lining latency (not sure what to do about that).

    If anyone wants to check my build, here you go:

    https://pastebin.com/d4U4R2Hv

    I'd also love to hear your thoughts on how to improve the build further.

    I have around 40 ex I can invest, but I'm not sure where to start.

    I was thinking about getting a +2 aura gems corrupted prism guardian.

    It took me quite a while to understand the relation between "aps" and "cdr" for Coc (at least I think I got that now, but if not let me know) and I'm working on my awakened Coc to have 14%cdr so I can use a different belt.

    Once I do that, I was thinking to respec Alira for the two points.

    Anyway, if you made it till here, thanks for reading :)

    And thank you GGG for making this awesome game!

    I'm really looking forward for upcoming events in December and the next league in January.

    Until then, you all stay healthy and have a good one.

    Sirus, Awakener of Worlds. inspired by Sirus's line, "How Boring and Small..."

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 02:49 PM PST

    I started playing HC SSF and killed act10 Kitava and I'm enjoying the game immensely

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 07:36 AM PST

    I am happy and just wanted to share.

    Was a little burnt out with POE, especially with the tedious process of leveling new characters. With HC SSF for a noob the leveling process itself is exciting because you can't just faceroll it.

    Looking forward to starting mapping now. I'll have a stiff drink to steel the mind and I'll try to die less than Ziz.

    So if you are burned out, maybe give HC SSF a try. It's a whole other game

    To all the Alberon's Juggs still playing: craft a Boom Mace

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:28 AM PST

    To all the Alberon's Juggs still playing: craft a Boom Mace

    Dear fellow Alberon's Warpath Juggernauts,

    over the past few days I didn't find any upgrades for my Jugg (HC trade here) so a lot of Exalted Orbs accumulated in my stash. Since for me there's no point in taking something over to Standard, I decided to craft a few items - one of which was a double influenced Boom mace for better clear. I can't tell you how much faster I'm now able to clear maps! Initlally I was hesitant due to PoB showing a really low damage number compared to Replica Frostbreath, but oh boy was I wrong. The "Fiery Impact" implicit combined with the really large AoE and the socketed Shockwave support do a really nice job in clearing almost screen wide. So if you're in the same situation I was, think about crafting a nice Boom Mace - you won't be disappointed.

    As for the crafting itself:

    1. Get a Boom Mace (iLvl 80 or higher) and use a Hunter's Exalt on it
    2. Fossilcraft with Aberrant Fossils until you hit "Added Chaos Dmg / Chaos Penetration" (I hit T1 with the Hunter Exalted, so I didn't have to do this step)
    3. Alt-Spam an iLvl 68+ Elder Mace for "3% increased AoE per 50 Strength"
    4. Awakener Orb both and pray for a decent outcome. I had two open prefixes, but (unfortunately) no open Suffix. Otherwise I could have crafted multimod (Suffix) plus the two crafted Prefixes "10% Chaos Pen" and "Spell Damage". As it stands, I'm quite happy with my outcome.

    End result:

    Final crafting result

    Hope you guys try it out, get lucky and will be satisfied as well with the result. As I said, clear feels way better now with the big AoE and both AoE effects (from Weapon + Shockwave).

    So long, stay sane Exiles!

    Edit: Video of a T16 clear (hopefully, the quality is decent after compression):

    Loot boxes in video games - UK Call for evidence. How could it affect Path of Exile?

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:30 AM PST

    As some of you may or may not be aware there is currently a call for evidence on individuals experience with loot boxes in games by the UK Government with a real chance that loot boxes in all their forms may be banned. They are specifically asking for individuals experiences with loot boxes and the impact it has had on them, including quite alot of questions around addiction and spending more than you would have liked to.

    I have read throughout the years a number of cases where players have often got into massive debt, and seen loot boxes as a form of addiction/gambling that they have been unable to stop.

    In the event that loot boxes do get banned in the UK what could this mean for Path of Exiles' financial model? I'm guessing a large amount of their income is through loot boxes. If the UK do ban them, there is a good chance other countries may start following suit and banning them also.

    Here are the documents and forms if anyone does want to contribute to it etc. Tomorrow is the deadline 21 November

    Yesterday I fought my first Sirus ever.

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:21 AM PST

    Just wanted to share my excitement for finally reaching "Endgame" after like 3 years playing :)

    Fun fight, didn't win, unfortunately. Got slammed by lasers outside the screen. Gotta learn the audio cues. 8/10 fun fight.

    Why does path of exile cost money on the epic games store?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:42 PM PST

    Could we get a QOL visual indicator for "NEARBY" like on Flesh & Stone blind aura?

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 09:34 AM PST

    So stuff like Flesh & Stone that has an aura that states "Nearby Enemies Are Blinded", new players and even myself have no idea what it means.. like is it 2 screens away from me or like one character footprint next to me.. no idea. We see the huge AOE of the Flesh & Stone but that does not represent the nearby imo.

    Pretty frustrating.. so I was thinking could we atleast see that NEARBY aura effect when we hover over the gem with our mouse so we could build around it better.

    I was exploring in Oriath today and this caught my eye. Maybe it is a clue that fishing is possible in the game, and we just haven't figured it out yet? or just another tease...who knows

    Why nobody takes arrow dancing ?

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 02:08 PM PST

    i checked poe.ninja heist on day 1-2-3-4 and nobody seem to take arrow dancing. It seems like a really good node for through a few acts that has devastating ranged attacks (act 8 porcupine, act 3 up to scepter of god, act 4 with the monster with many hands that shoots you etc). Also as a ranger it takes like 2 passive point to get arrow dancing. Is it because most bosses do melee damage therefor it's a bad tradeoff ?, or melee targets are usually more dangerous ?

    I play ranger toxic rain btw

    Finally got the kitty!

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 08:34 AM PST

    I usually do 24 on a league and figured this would be easy. I admit I usually get caught up in the game and ignore league content. I kept dropping hints to my game partner that the loot was in the rogue harbor. I was right, got 6 challenges last night! Now I love heist, just like when I ALMOST missed the fun of synthesis league. I found it boring and tedious UNTIL we started setting it up and the loot started raining down! Glad I get an extra month and may even play the bonus league whatever it may be.

    Thanks again GGG for giving me something to work for :)
