| Questions Thread - January 01, 2021 Posted: 31 Dec 2020 04:00 PM PST Questions Thread This is a general question thread on. You can find the previous question threads here. Remember to check the wiki first. You can also ask questions in the #any-question channel in our official Discord. The idea is for anyone to be able to ask anything related to PoE:
No question is too big or too small! We encourage experienced players to sort this thread by new. We'd like to thank those who answered questions in the last thread! You guys are the best. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST Most of us look at an Orb of Horizons and think it can potentially roll any map of the same tier because from what I can tell, that's what it says: "Reforges a map item as another of the same tier". But how it actually apparently works is that it will only roll maps of that tier that occur naturally at that tier, not ones that exist in the atlas with watchstones. I'm fine with it working the way it does - but I'm not fine with not being able to tell what it's going to roll without taking all the watchstones out of the atlas. Are you? [link] [comments]  | ||
| like Shield charge and Spectral Shield throw, Reckoning should be based on your shield’s properties Posted: 01 Jan 2021 08:00 AM PST This would differentiate it further than riposte and consolidate its shield nature Ie:Es for aoe, Er for crit(or cool down), Armor for damage Ofc it's not really a meta skill in this "zoom zoom don't get hit" POe, but I think skill identity is a must and a good foundation in a mindset that "not evertything has to be the best" Edit: as I mentioned to somebody in the comments, the animation of the skill is a shield .* logic overflow! * [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 06:27 PM PST First thing first, I would like to excuse You for my grammar as English isn't my first language. I really love this game so much. I mean this league was so much fun for me, that I cannot even express it with words. The major breakpoints for me was getting a lot of currency from a total gamble (ancient orbs vs unique belts) which made me 2 headhunters. At that point i completed my build and gave away the second hh to my friend so he could play with it for the first time in his life. We had so much fun and made a ton of currency at that point. Then the next step for me was joining a guild for the first time in my Path career. I promise You guys, if You find a good guild with a good people, that is the best thing that could ever happen to You, while playing this game. Nights without sleep while talking to random people from all around the world was one of the best experiences I've had within this game, not minding the age, cultural or language gap, just playing Path and grinding that sweet currency. I am never gonna forget this time as it helped me with a whole lot of things that happened through a pandemic and my overall state (don't mind it). And I have learned so much about crafting, playing grinding and farming. Right now I have got around 1000 hours played in Path of Exile and right now THIS IS THE BEST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD WITH THIS GAME even with all the crashes bugs and different problems that came with heist. I would love to thank all the devs and people that made it such a wonderful journey for me especially a Guild with tag <$420$>!!! Love You guys, Happy New Year and may the RNG ever be in Your favour.

| Flashback feels like what I wish PoE was all the time. Posted: 31 Dec 2020 04:52 PM PST Maybe this is because I'm a veteran, but I love the chaos and the density. Its quite fun. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Universal guide to leaguestart on trickster with early swap to CI Posted: 31 Dec 2020 06:32 PM PST Hi, I was bored and made a build on how to league start on a Trickster with the intention to go CI during very early mapping. This is CI friendly and if you are in tradeleague you can even get some uniques to boost your ES significantly. Maybe someone can learn a thing or two. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Flashback event will transfer to Heist? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 11:52 AM PST When the Flashback event ends, will our progression and characters be transferred to the Heist league? I would like to know to be able to progress with my character that will be transferred. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:49 PM PST Hey everyone. I've played a lot of PoE and decided to log and discuss the "Modern Pillars of RPG Game Design" any aspiring developer could use to make their games more like PoE's more-polished elements. When I was much younger, my favorite games were turn-based JRPGs. I find a lot of those games I used to love very difficult to enjoy because they feel like... grinds. They were often rife with balance issues where grinding Experience for Level Up rewards trivialized content in a way that wasn't engaging or felt meaningful. I appreciate the irony that Path of Exile is a "grinding game" and was able to shift my perspective. Which begs the question: Why? Here's my list of observations (in no particular order) that I now look for in RPGs because of this game. I also include a little bit of feedback at the bottom regarding End Game systems. Approach Enemies, Begin CombatThis property originates from PoE's western ARPG legacy. Notable JRPGs Dragon Quest / Final Fantasy are iconic of their "Random Encounters" that appear from nowhere and disrupt progress. JRPGs like Earthbound address this flaw by making turn-based combat avoidable by (literally) running away on the overworld environment. Ergo, you didn't engage in combat unless you decided to engage in combat, excluding boss fights. Earthbound and PoE have this in common: Skilled players can run past encounters and face challenges at lower thresholds of Character Progression. It's a nice custom-difficulty layer that is fully controlled by the player, when bosses are balanced accordingly to allow this. Modular Ability ModifiersThe concept of "Support Skill Gems" resonates with me a lot! In Super Giant's Transistor there was a similar system where every ability had an Active / Passive / Support functionality that changed dynamically where the player chose to equip it in their inventory. Transforming 20 skills into thousands of skills adds a huge amount of potential replayability. Executed well, this is a system that can make your 40 hour RPG a 500 hour RPG without making the player feel bad. Multiple Levers of Character ProgressionCharacter Progression in this context refers to the things that directly make your character have more defense, offense, utility, and speed during combat. It can also represent a character's identity. In Path of Exile this is done through: Assign
Equip
Reactive Skills
Identity
Multiple Levers of Damage ScalingThis one in particular is a nightmare to balance correctly, but is creatively liberating for the player when executed correctly. It's important to note that all sources of "more" damage in PoE are multiplicative (they're individual levers). Consider some, but not all, of the balance levers on a skill like Storm Brand:
Limitless CreativityPoE became the multi-thousand hour behemoth for me because of the wide number of possible "Builds". Every new update adds (literally) thousands of new possibilities to explore. This is achieved through:
Lottery-Winning Jackpot EventsExtremely rare events determined by luck that drastically affect the start / remainder of a player's run. The items or events in question should have value that's immediately recognized by the player.
Multiple End Game Systems - FeedbackI believe the best RPGs live and die by ease of access to their end game systems, ergo, the type of content players enjoy spending their time. Having a variety of content is great, it tailors to a lot of different players with varying backgrounds and preferred playstyles. PoE is divided into a "Leveling" and "End Game", the later begins at character level 68 of 100. Path of Exile has quite a few of these paths to explore, and some of them are better designed than others! Great Examples - Almost Perfect
Good Examples - Moderate Adjustments Advised
Terrible Examples - Major Adjustments Required
Closing ThoughtsThanks for reading! I love this game and everything it has taught me about myself. Met some great friends around the world, learned real-world economic skills, and I have many cherished memories. GGG has something amazing on their hands, it just needs a little bit more love and stability to hold us off until PoE 2. Your earliest players are getting older every year, and they don't appreciate any and all tedium that contributes to skeletal damage to their fingers and wrists. You could, for instance, make emblems / breachstones / simulacums deterministically drop without splinters. Find a different superior use for stash tabs and your players will buy them! If you stopped selling stash tabs for splinters (this is a good thing) I would much rather buy supporter packs instead. Especially if doing so could let us design a Divination Card, Unique / Replica Unique Item, Active / Passive Skill Gem, Keystone jewel, Ascendency Class alternative, etc. : ) [link] [comments]  | ||
| something else than toxic rain? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 03:54 AM PST Hello everyone and happy new year. So, i've done all event for december and each time I've got the same problem: I always come back to toxic rain trickster ( way too powerful, nice clean, nice bossing, easy leveling, need just 1 unique "quill rain" to go red map). I tried bleed bow, summoner, arc totem, vortex, cyclone slayer ... but each time i come back to TR, which start to be boring because i can't stop comparing build with TR and be stupidily desapointed. So i wanted to ask, do you have some other build who feel this good for you? PS: i'm not complaining about " this skill is no brain ggez" just want to discover other thing for this game [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 09:29 PM PST Hey guys. I'm a long term Arpg fan and am thinking of giving POE a go. I've played Diablo 1-3 and most recently Grim Dawn. I love the complexity of the classes in Grim Dawn and am looking to get in to this game. I notice there are only a couple of classes though so my question is if there is a lot of long term playability of this game and maybe some better and worse parts compared to grim dawn or Diablo 3 if people don't mind. I've been reading the posts here and the community sounds awesome. Look forward to getting involved. Any recommendation for a first class? I like caster types. Sorceress or ranger types mainly. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||

| help a new player? lvl 72 Deadeye Ranger looking for passive tree advise. Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:34 PM PST Well, this is what i am right now. ive seen countless video's about different deadeye builds, but im still clueless. I use Lightning arrow as a main skill. (5linked gems, with Lightning arrow, elemental damage with attacks, mirage archer, lightning damage, and cold damage. my resistances are around 75. so whats next? do i need to make fundamental changes to my skill tree? do i farm better gear, most of my stuff is 4linked gems. My main question is what should i chance about my passive skill tree, and what should be my focus? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:31 PM PST First of all, happy new year everyone! A small reminder to GGG since new league is incoming; it's been many leagues in a row, can't remember how many, that we had overtuned on death effects that people complain about to the point GGG has to tune down after som days. Lets start the league without those! And by that I mean either on death effect that don't one shot everyone or no new death effect at all. It's not that fun to be honest. But if there has to be some please make them easy to see and maybe even a small detonation time. [link] [comments]  | ||
| [Question] Not gud Player hits wall called Awakener 7 Sirus. Suggestions to surpass for my build? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:26 PM PST Been a longtime casual player (since you did 3 acts 3 times) and always found myself well behind the curve when making builds that could do all content. Heist league has been my most successful in that respect. I am using a build (Beserker General's Cry Earthquake) that matched my playing skills (subpar) and tweaked the gear to match my wealth (poor). For context, I finally fought Sirus and got to Awakener 4 last league for the first time. This league I managed to get to Awakener 7 (Bonus Objectives: 128/154 Awakening Bonus 59/154) - which for me is pretty damn good. I was able to do Sirus before Awakener 7 after doing my research on the fight, but this round I got the taste slapped out of my mouth 6 times in rapid succession - mostly one shots or close to it. Was discouraged for a few days, but figured I would try to get back on the horse and knock this down before league end. Below is my POB - Any suggestions? I know my resistances are not overcapped and I have a fairly heavy reliance on uniques. Not sure if I could afford to switch that, but would be willing to try. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is double influence on a map supposed to be possible or is it a bug? Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:16 PM PST I opened a map with a Shaper scarab and Drox appeared. Items with either type of influence were dropping. Older posts suggest that this should not be possible. Was there a patch that changed influence behavior? [link] [comments]  | ||
