| Subreddit Meta & Rules Update August 2021 Posted: 16 Aug 2021 01:57 PM PDT Hello all you exiles out there. It's been a while since the mod team's last update with the community. Given the current climate of the sub, we feel this is a good time to get this out in the open. All of the rules can be found at https://reddit.com/r/pathofexile/wiki/rules, and links to the Rules page can be found all over the subreddit as well as with any post removal messages. We strongly recommend you browse through the updated rules for any nuanced changes - don't say we didn't warn you! These changes affect everyone, even streamers. Many users have pointed out that the tone of the subreddit has become increasingly negative and lacking restraint over the past year or so. We've made some changes here and there but these have been more stopgaps and haven't made too much of an impact in the long term. Historically, our team has tried to take a more relaxed approach towards how we moderate and treat the community. That being said, we do have to acknowledge that this subreddit has massively grown over the years, now reaching around 450,000 exiles, we felt that our current approach has been struggling. As part of a revamp, we're going to be trialling a mix of new ideas, as well as some previously rejected ideas that didn't fit the current sentiment and playerbase. To be clear - we're aware that it's going to be impossible to satisfy all players' expectations of an ideal browsing experience. However, we'd like to keep the focus on the game and gameplay here. We hope that you can be patient with us during these growing pains, but we understand that not everyone will continue to use the sub following these changes. While an unfortunate consequence, we feel that dramatic changes have been overdue for a while. Overarching Approach
New Video PolicyRegarding videos from Twitch and Youtube content creators, only videos featuring build guides or showcases, gameplay, or educational videos may be posted on the subreddit. Meta discussions or random clips of POE content creators cannot be promoted on the subreddit. Content that violates any rules of the subreddit will be removed, even if the content creator is not the original poster. The following are exceptions:
Twitch clips are permitted if they follow the above guidelines; if they appear to be clipped maliciously or intentionally to alter the context, they will be removed as per Rule 6 (Misinformation or Misleading Content). Modifications to Ban ScheduleAs talked about earlier, we've historically taken a fairly soft approach towards moderation. While this still results in a high number of users getting banned, or their threads removed, there's been a growing amount of bad faith users, which we define as users who intentionally and continuously skirt the rules to antagonize other users and cause trouble, but don't necessarily cross the line of breaking any rules. Our current "schedule" for banning users is Warning → 3 Day Ban → 14 Day Ban → 30 Day Ban → Permanent Ban. The new policy is as follows:
Punishments may be more severe in situations where a user:
Ban steps may be waived at a rate of 1 per year, based on user participation and recent behaviour. Please note that all ban history is recorded and will still influence future mod decisions. Combating HarassmentAdditionally, there are a few changes to the types of threads we're removing and the result of that removal. As a whole, harassment (full definition available within the Rules Wiki) against GGG staff, content creators, or moderators will be more strictly enforced against. We were previously rather lax about this in the past, but feel that users have been abusing this privilege as of late. There is nothing wrong with criticizing the game or disagreeing with the company as a whole, and we don't plan on changing this. What cannot happen anymore, however, are threads and memes disparaging of actual people. These types of threads are consistently hyperbolized or pulled out of context to vilify people. These will now fall under the usual Rule 3 procedures for harassment. Memes of actual people (or roles synonymous with them) will no longer be permitted. The mod team is also tired of constantly being misrepresented, receiving groundless accusations or threats, and being harassed in comments and modmails. We expect you to be respectful in your engagement in all facets of this subreddit. Continuing to post removed posts if the post removal message was ignored or an appeal was rejected in modmail constitutes spam. Using moderators for clickbait (e.g. inb4 mods remove this) will also be removed as Low Effort Content. We have also updated our word filters for non-productive, inflammatory language to better match the current user base. Please be reminded that this subreddit is not Twitch, 4chan, or whatever other website your language habits may be accustomed to. Keep it respectful. Posts or comments caught by the word filter will be manually reviewed. Duplicate Topics & MegathreadsMegathreads are a controversial topic we've talked about a few times during these updates. In the past, we've gone along with the staunch opposition to megathreads expressed by many members of the community. In the past couple of months, though, we've received frequent requests to introduce megathreads due to the sheer quantity of topic overload, usually with most threads being one liners, or extremely wordy without introducing any new discussion topics. While we've made it transparent that these kinds of posts are better as comments instead, we've just been getting more and more duplicate posts. As part of our overhaul, we will be trying out megathreads for league feedback and criticisms on a rotating schedule, which may change depending on future patch updates. Examples of these topics for 3.15 would be:
We will also try using megathreads for major balance change updates or engine updates to cut down on walls of duplicate posts. We want you to be able to have an equal opportunity to voice your opinions, so please help out the community by checking these megathreads out instead of making a new thread. All megathreads will be archived here; links to this page can be found under the banner on new Reddit, on the sidebar, and in megathreads and the Questions Thread. Although we cannot guarantee that GGG will necessarily respond to all megathreads, they are aware of and will be watching these megathreads and the post will get a GGG flair as usual if they leave comments. This will be reflected in the directory as well. Threads on topics with active megathreads will be removed under Rule 7 (Duplicate Topics). Please note that there is a distinction between Livethreads (e.g. livestreams, developer podcasts) and Megathreads (discussion & feedback). Both of these will have flairs in red boxes.
Combating Misinformation or Misleading ContentPosts or comments representing or paraphrasing GGG, content creators, or moderators that intentionally try to skew, misrepresent, or alter information or messages will be removed. This includes edited or strategically cut clips or videos. Depending on the severity of the misinformation, this behaviour may constitute a violation of Rule 3. Additionally, posts or comments that are incorrect about game mechanic or information may be removed to not misinform players. Steam Charts (or other player metrics) will no longer be permitted on the subreddit at this time due to excessive declinism and misrepresentation showing that this data is not being used appropriately. Other Major Rule UpdatesRule 5 (Low Effort Content): several rare rewards or accomplishments are now permitted, including Headhunter, Mirrors, multiple Exalt rewards, etc. Other low low effort content will remain as-is. Clickbait has been merged into this category and includes both clickbait titles (against Rediquette) and clickbait involving moderators. Due to changes to Rule 3 (Posting Etiquette & Harassment) and Rule 4 (Content Must Feature Path of Exile), memes that contain images of people are not permitted, regardless of POE Content in said meme. Because of these changes, Lazy Sunday has been clarified and updated to now only affect exceptions to Rule 4 (Content Must Feature Path of Exile), and no longer affect Item Showcases or Low Effort Content. Some examples include:
Please note that the duration of Lazy Sunday has been increased by 7 hours; it now lasts for 31 hours on Sunday ~ Monday to account for awkward time zones (00:00 UTC Sunday to 06:59 UTC Monday). Rule 7 (Duplicate Topics) will now encompass threads that discuss a similar issue, announcement, or other topic that has been posted frequently in the past 48 hours. Please be sure to check /hot, /new, and use the search function. Unfortunately, due to the quantity of posts we review, the moderators cannot be obligated to find specific threads for you; if you feel a post was removed in error, please contact us via modmail. The old "Engine Issues Require Metrics" rule has been discontinued. The suggestion to provide DxDiag/PC specs/WinMTR remains under the softer guideline of Rule 7c (Bugs & Engine Issues). Surge ModsOur subreddit has always been a major oddity in the gaming sphere in that our activity levels are extremely spiky, centered almost entirely on league starts every three months. The "problem" with this, from a moderation standpoint, is that for the majority of the year our team doesn't actually have to be that big despite the subreddit's subscriber count. During those few weeks, however, the moderation team is consistently underwater, especially when we encounter issues such as Ultimatum league's first few days around server performance. Although Reddit itself does provide a temporary "surge moderator" program for subreddits facing high influx of activities, we felt that the lack of game knowledge and nuance might be problematic especially during league launches. Instead, we will be looking into part-time moderators in our upcoming mod recruitment post. These mods will be called upon to help out primarily during peak times (league announcements, launches, and other major events) to help with the mod queue, assisting with thread and comment removals, and answering questions. These roles will have more limited mod functions so they can return to being normal exiles once again when activity cools down. We will also be recruiting full time mods due to regular turnover. Please keep an eye out if you're interested in helping out the team. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Appreciation post for awakened poe trade. Posted: 16 Aug 2021 09:37 AM PDT To the people who made awakened poe trade, thank you so much. I found about it just yesterday, and I honestly think that it's a crime that it's not more known, the Qol that it provides is beyond excellent. Again, my sincerest thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| GGG might update the Pantheon. Hopefully it is made account wide. Posted: 16 Aug 2021 11:14 AM PDT The pantheon having more impact for defenses is fine. Updating it to be account wide will probably encourage people to actually unlock everything, so in some ways it adds progression instead of taking it away. Just give Sin an option to unlock it when your new character gets to the epilogue. This will be something people complain about if they make the Pantheon more relevant without changing it.

| Map Bosses Should Drop A Connected Map 100% of the Time Posted: 16 Aug 2021 04:55 AM PDT Edit: tl;dr - I am not trying to say "map sustain is too hard". I am trying to say that map mods should be strictly about the amount of loot. They should not be semi-required to progress the atlas. Increasing the power of monsters, and their risk, should absolutely substantially improve the loot they drop. The current problem is that it's very hard to sustain high tier maps without alching them. Rerolling maps is not fun. If you just want to progress through the game, you either spend a ton of time and currency rerolling, or get forced into taking on too much risk. Taking on risk should be a thoughtful consideration of loot vs progress (xp and map advancement), but right now, your hand is forced into that risk because you simply won't get maps if you don't buff the monsters (a lot). I honestly think this simple change would add a lot of fun and remove a lot of frustration. Offscreen one-shots and insane turbo monsters would be a lot less likely without map mods. This would also reduce the tedium of trying to unlock the atlas. It also makes a lot more sense thematically. Instead of just killing stuff for a random chance to find a new map, you are actually exploring the chart. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Path of Exile on Linux - an insight and thoughts on Steam Deck compatibility Posted: 16 Aug 2021 06:52 AM PDT Hey, long time lurker here! I've noticed an influx of Steam Deck related posts lately and wanted to give you an overview over the current state of the game on Linux and how it might affect gaming on the Steam Deck. There seems to be some misconception about how well the game and its 3rd party tools are actually running on a Linux system. Let me preface this by saying that I've been playing strictly on Linux since Harvest, so i don't really know how well the game performs right now on Windows. So here goes: Specs: - Ryzen 5 5600x - Radeon RX 6700XT - 16 GB RAM - SSD - WQHD display Version: Steam Version using Proton Experimental (click and play). As many of you know, Proton is Valve's implementation of wine (Wine Is Not An Emulator) which has seen massive development and patches from Valve over the last few years. I can say that Linux gaming generally is nothing what it was a few years ago, most of the games just work right out of the box. Proton (more specifically dxvk) works by translating DirectX calls to native Vulkan calls - in the case of Path of Exile, as the game already runs on Vulkan, there's not even a overhead due to the translation. Performance: I can not determine any real performance differences between Windows and Linux, as long as you choose the Vulkan renderer in game. Some people might even say that Linux performance slightly exceeds Windows performance, as Vulkan itself runs more efficiently on Linux systems. I'm getting around 120 FPS consistently on maxed out settings and WQHD. You could even apply AMD FSR and turn down the in game resolution for potentially even more FPS without loosing visual fidelity, however for me that's not necessary. By the way, AMD FSR can be applied to any game on Linux, but native FSR support would be preferred of course. The way it gets injected right now is at the end of the render pipeline, so menus and text will get upscaled too. This is more noticeable on some games than on others. 3rd Party Tools: awakened-poe-trade and Path of Building work on Linux natively. You can easily install them by using the AUR on Arch Linux (SteamOS is based on Arch), or in case of awakened just downloading the portable .AppImage. The awakened-poe-trade overlay seems to only work on X11 for now, although Wayland support would be rather sexy. ExilenceNext also works, however Linux support is rather new and there's been a few pull requests in the last days. Steam Deck and Controller support: I'm pretty confident the Steam Deck will run PoE just fine (at the 800p 30fps target that Valve is aiming at), given how well the game already runs on Linux. I think we might even be seeing more FPS than that, however right now that's pure speculation. There are people who are already playing the game using the Steam Controller and specific configurations for Path of Exile. I've never tried it myself, however I'm interested to hear some experiences! The way i see it there's two possibilities: Either GGG implements controller support for PC, or we will use the Steam Controller configuration to map buttons to actions. Wow, that got longer than expected. Thanks for your time and I'm eager to hear some other experiences. If you're annoyed by Windows but still keep it to play Path of Exile, it might be a good time to switch. Stay sane, exile. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 16 Aug 2021 03:20 AM PDT I'm just seeing just how hard we can push this builds damage while retaining somewhat reasonable EHP. You can easily reach 8000+ effective life at the cost of damage which obviously would be superior because this amount of DPS is not required. After some adjustments to the build we have vastly improved it. I'm sure there is some math stuff you can do to figure out how hard you can shock him on awakener 9 with an additional 3% more hp modifier. Yes lvl 1 arcane surge is added to a 4 slot item to simulate having it. (POB doesn't detect arcane surge from summoning a totem) Yes we can sustain righteous fire with a surplus of 250 mana regen. These are the baseline POB settings for what I had at the time of the screenshot. We could get much tankier and trade out some damage but whats the fun in that, playing softcore for a reason. Just for fun I'll post the fully buffed pastebin with all flasks active and all vaal skills. And one more time additionally we can simulate what our DPS is fully buffed with 100 soul eater stacks by adding 500% cast speed to our weapon. You can achieve this on things like breachstone bosses and instantly vaporize them even with 6 players(Not that we already wouldn't).

| Posted: 16 Aug 2021 09:12 AM PDT Been playing since league launch in SSF and didnt get why Dannig even had reroll tokens seeing as he is just a converter. I thought maybe his coversion rates would dip the more you changed currency and the reroll token would reset it 1:1. Turns out he sells discounts exchanges, rerolls for the other guys plus the occasional logbook. Just got 5 logbooks and loads of other stuff in one sitting....which I'd know sooner! Probably me just being a fool but thought I'd share in case I wasnt the only one [link] [comments]  | ||

| Rog's name (probably) comes from Random Object Generator. Posted: 15 Aug 2021 06:29 PM PDT We used the term a lot in the DAoC community. It was used to refer to items that are randomly generated (similar to d2/poe rares). Most items were static (similar to d2/poe uniques but shitty). I don't think it's a coincidence that the guy who crafts random items is named Rog. Some relevant links: https://www.ignboards.com/threads/what-is-rog.250248713/ [link] [comments]  | ||
