Thanks Zizaran for Gauntlet

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 11:30 PM PDT

Hey. I don't play HC because I do not want to die due to disconnects, also I am not a big fan of leveling. However, I had a blast during gauntlet. Ssf in general is already a different game, not to mention infusing that with white mobs that one shot you... I wanted to level scion, it looked like a safe-ish option due to a lot of life nearby, also exsanguinate was recommended to me by a friend. Hillock was a struggle with scion, but it was really fun. I died multiple times to goats, I reached level 50 and died due to overwhelming amount of mobs that spawned from strongbox. I did not give up, tried leveling champion, but I just wasn't feeling it. Came back to scion for a final push. I had 6k life at a10 kitava and I nailed it. Ultimatums were a bit tough in maps since I didn't use chain support so the clear was really abysmal. Died in one of ultimatums at level 74. Didn't achieve that much, but what a ride this was! And also, I had so much more fun watching the streams when I was also playing in the league. Climbing the rankings of poe-racing was also so much fun. Thanks Zizaran and everyone involded for this unique experience for me, a totally softcore player! Loved every bit of it.

Breach rings are worse than Talismans

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 07:03 PM PDT

Breach rings lack an entire implicit and are unable to be crafted on top of that since they're corrupted, so you basically get what you find, not even able to add a bench craft to it. Literally infinitely worse than any ring with any implicit that drops with a single veiled mod from a betrayal encounter.

Give them a random grasping mail modifier as an implicit, each breach ring dropping with a random implicit - some of them are really good, especially the Chayula mod pool, and since the ring is corrupted, the chances you'll ever find a really really good one is insanely low, they'd still be better than pre-nerf talismans (why even nerf these to begin with when nobody used them lol?) and might actually see some use, despite being unable to ever catalyst them.

Either way in their current state they're garbage and grasping mail is trash too and not worth picking up 60 of these for

My impressions about league mechanics after 300+ hours playing SSF as a new player

Posted: 22 Jun 2021 06:47 AM PDT

I first started playing PoE during the Ultimatum league so I had no previous experience on past leagues and had to figure out how things work all by myself including external websites like Filterblade, Path of Building etc

Hopefully I found a guide to follow and tried to copy the skills, talents and gear(up to a point since in SSF you can only use what you find or craft yourself). I rolled a Cyclone Champion and got him to 94 so far, here is my PoB link if you want to check him out and laugh at my bad gear.

So here are my impressions on the current and past league mechanics I have come across and what I like or dislike about them, keep in mind I have only played around 330 hours so far and haven't even experienced all the late game yet:

1 = Hate the mechanic, skip every time

5 = Like the mechanic and I'm excited when it shows up

Ultimatum - 2/5

I got tired of seeing this in every single map and it's the mechanic responsible for most of my deaths since I wanted to keep pushing myself. I ended up skipping it eventually as I didn't feel it was worth the rewards. I'd love to see it maybe in 1 out of 10 maps - but being twice as rewarding as it currently is to be worth getting excited about.

Heist - 5/5

I feel that they put a lot of love and effort into this, as it's an entire new game by itself. Very well executed, good progress(leveling up and gearing the mercenaries) and rewards but it does suck dying during one since you lose all the items you have picked up - kinda makes it more exciting in a way though. It doesn't get boring for me, sometimes I just run some Heists instead of maps so it makes the game have more variety.

Delve - 2/5

It's not bad, I like the mechanic it just feels boring after a while. These endless tunnels all feel the same and the rewards aren't that great for the amount of time invested to be honest. It does give decent XP though which is one of the reasons I run it.

Ritual - 5/5

It's a very simple but satisfying mechanic in my opinion, just kill some mobs and have a list of items to choose from after - feels satisfying to pick up valuable currency or to discover a great item which you can also discount and plan for future Rituals. I have no complaints about this mechanic.

Incursion - 3/5

Feels less boring than Delve since you can change the layout of the Temple rooms and try to connect them, it's also more satisfying to slaying the cultists compared to bats and spiders. You can discover some decent rewards like double Corrupting stuff and you get to kill a giant Roomba at the end.

Betrayal - 3/5

Took me almost 200 hours in and watching multiple YouTube videos to figure out how this works, it's a bit complicated but the safehouses are simple, fast and can offer great rewards(compared to the Incursion temple for example). However the Betrayal implementation on maps(3 same encounters) gets old fast to the point I avoid using Juno's missions.

Bestiary - 4/5

I really like the simplicity of this mechanic as well as its practical value in SSF. Just kill some beasts and eventually you discover some decent recipes and you can craft or modify items. Nothing too exciting, but a decent addition to maps and unlike Betrayal/Incursion, it doesn't waste your time during mapping.

Harvest - 3/5

It's great for SSF crafting, but unless you invest in Atlas passives, most available recipes are underwhelming and not worth your time. For non-SSF I wouldn't even bother to be honest.

Delirium - 5/5

It's fun, easy to figure out, fast paced and drops Cluster Jewels which are a great addition to the game (even though I've gotten most of my Cluster Jewels in Heist)

Metamorph - 4/5

I also like the simple implementation to the core game, kill mobs and collect organs, at the end spawn the Metamorph and get some loot. I like how you can sort of target what kind of loot you prefer and also Catalysts are a decent addition as well.

Blight - 4/5

Even though I am bad at it and it frustrates me when I fail the mechanic and end up with zero rewards, I really like Blight as a tower defence mini game, it gets my adrenaline going and the Annointment system allowing you to enchant your Amulet with a powerful passive makes it worth your time.

Abyss - 2/5

It's a cool mechanic, but I don't like the rewards so much. Most of the time I prefer just getting the Trove and be done with it by looting a crappy Eye instead of going into the Abyssal Depths, I just haven't found anything worth so far.

Breach / Legion - 2/5

I added those together since they are very similar to me, at least so far. Touch the obelisk/hand and kill monsters around its area for a limited time and loot a couple splinters. I haven't looked into their potential yet, so not sure what they can offer later on, but so far they seem kind of unrewarding to a new player like me.

Harbinger - 3/5

Seems like a simple mechanic, just kill the spawned mobs until the portals close and loot some shards. Nothing original or interesting about it but I don't mind it.
