    Project PoE Wiki - an effort to move the wiki out of Fandom and update it to the current patch

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 03:34 AM PDT

    Hello exiles,

    You might remember me from this post a few days ago. Since then I've been contacted by a few people willing to help and decided to go ahead with it.

    That being said, the road ahead of us is quite long. I'm making this post to raise awareness to the fact that it is happening, it will just take some time and eventually will need your help.

    Below is a roadmap (keep in mind that this will change, it's more of a high level overview):

    • I have set up a site with WikiMedia (basically the same framework as before) on a managed hosting that I pay for.

    I want to address a few things regarding the hosting before moving on. I am happy to host it as long as it doesn't push my bills too high, I pay monthly for server space and have unused resources.

    It is currently on a managed and shared cloud server - if it cannot handle the traffic I will be ready to move it to a VPS service like Digital Ocean or Heroku - and see how much the costs add up there.

    The goal is to have ownership over everything relating to the wiki and not have to deal with ads, making accounts you don't want to make, etc. if ever the server costs go up and people are willing to donate, I will offer my time to maintain it.

    Moving on.

    • The next step is to export the current contents of the wiki (which some kind users already have done and are made available) and import them onto ours.

    This is where we are now. Over the weekend we will work to restore the wiki onto our site, fix any conflicts and restore the original layout. I have no first hand experience doing a wiki migration like this so I can't say how long it will take.

    • once we have the wiki restored, we will need to either fix the tool that was used to parse the game data or to make a new one.

    This again might take some time. Some users said they are working on their own tools and I have also tried reaching out to the poedb dev and will try to discuss on the PoB discord.

    While this process is happening, we want to make it possible to suggest edits to all the data which would be data mined in order to keep the wiki up to date.

    • there's a lot of work to be done to get here, but most importantly is that people use it to help with SEO and help improve the information on it.

    I haven't really thought of a domain name yet, just had a quick look at some. Ideally we want a top level domain to help with visibility.

    The subreddit admins have shown support which really motivated me to go ahead with it. Even though it's a long shot, I thought about sending an email to GGG through support and see if they are willing to offer any kind of help.

    If you want to help in any way, send me a message or leave a comment, im setting up a discord server as well.

    I'll try to post regular updates and share the link as soon as it's in a usable state.

    Stay sane!

    Itemization in poe is getting worse

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:34 AM PDT

    Remember when ggg were reworking uniques, how Bex was posting meymeys how wing of entropy will be poggers and 140 other reworks. Well, they were all crap. Uniques items in this game are more disappointing than legendaries in D3 right now. Whenever Chris mentions "the chase" items, he always goes like "like headhunter… and other…" other what?

    Fight some insane boss with 1 shoot mechanics for what, some useless brown items with funky descriptions? I don't understand this vision at all. What's the point of adding new uniques each league if the absolute majority of items in this game are like 10 years obsolete and need a rework desperately.

    There are close to 4 times less people in the second week of the league that reached lvl 95 or above compared to ultimatum.

    Silly PoE animation I made

    ...so I made this animation of running path of exile characters for a stream and I thought I'd try to share them somewhere. Feel free to use them for anything or just drop an upvote if you like ^^

    They were supposed to be chasing shaper but I ran out of time animating.

    Patch 3.15 Bronze Monograph

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 02:40 AM PDT

    ​

    A leader cannot simply stride forward into the future and expect his people to be able to follow.

    A leader must look over his shoulder so that he can witness and understand the consequences of the path he has chosen.

    To ensure that his people are still with him. To ensure that he has not become lost.

    The RNG in the atlas grind can be soul crushing at times

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 01:17 AM PDT

    Leaguely reminder there are still rare Harvest crafts that you have to do trust trades on a Discord to ever reliably use.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 11:36 AM PDT

    Trust trades where you give a stranger your item and hoping they give it back should just straight up not be the only way to obtain something in decent quantities. Tier 4 Harvest seeds give stuff like fracture a mod, reroll with influence mods, add an influence mod, etc that could be useful in crafting, I'd love to have access to them, but not with giving some stranger my item based on some point system on a Discord.

    GGG is essentially encouraging the potential of scams. And yes I know that in 99% of cases that doesn't happen, but there have been plenty of stories of people getting their trusted thing and waiting for a big ticket item to cash out. It just should not be the way.

    If you have something in the game, you should make it safely tradable. Whether those crafts are too strong or not to be in the game is a completely different discussion, fact is they are in the game. We need some sort of Bestiary Orb for Harvest to give access to them to those of us that don't want to risk getting scammed. I am never going to farm out 3+ fracture a prefix crafts in a league to craft with that, they're just too rare even for a no lifer like me and I shouldn't have to because I am playing an economy based trade league game. Let me use the capital I have gathered in other mechanics to buy Harvest. That's the whole point of getting to play the mechanic you want, the fact you can buy the rest. If you couldn't buy Blight Oils everyone would be forced to do Blights until they drop that Golden Oil they need and that's like a million times more common than some of the Harvest stuff.

    Also the fact that I have to chase Aisling around using my Jun missions and people can just pay 2 ex to skip that if they are okay with the potential scam is also a bit ??? why is that not a Veiled Exalt? Anyway, at least that's gettable. Lots of T4 crafts are way harder.

    [ESC] The SST/Shield Crush Holy Grail

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:53 PM PDT

    Meme builds may not be what I always play, but presence of them made me wanted to play PoE

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 06:42 PM PDT

    There are enough discussions on how 3.15 has removed big chunk of build diversity, but I'm not trying to talk about diversity, I'm trying to talk about , so to say, freedom of build.

    Silly cute things like lightning warp(+mine/totem/trap) build, Meme but actually quite OK builds like Mirror Arrow/Blink Arrow build, We-Probably-All-know OMGItsJousis / eirikeiken / Ramen builds that sometimes provided almost competitive power, and all that stuff. We also used to have Mirror arrow traps, while not overpowered, they were cute as hell. Anyway...

    I do prefer to league start with one of the "normal" builds like chaos dot, necro, previously blade vortex, etc, but I tend to switch over to one of the "meme" builds, whether it's one of the popular memes, or the memes I would like to create myself.

    The hope that I could potentially have that kind of build/fun, was my motivation to the game.

    I'm not exactly referring to the 3.15 patch only - It did play a big role (because suboptimal builds now feel really horrible to play compared to before), another problem is that the general direction of PoE recently, is constantly going towards archtyping builds.

    GGG basically started to "tell us" what builds exist, what builds should exist and what builds should not. Passive tree nodes are more specific than ever. and well, no wormblaster, period. It kinda started somewhere around early 3.x, few years ago. Just saying that it's getting worse, and 3.15 kinda put period on it.

    I once thought PoE was allowing us to modify skills with various support gems, mostly provide us maybe generic passive tree, and item modifiers so that we can "do whatever we want". Optimization still existsed anyway, to enough depth. Game had so much freedom, but it's becoming less and less true.

    Support gems having longer and longer "This gem cannot support.." and becoming increasingly specific, passive nodes and modifiers more specifically supporting certian situation, is ironically removing freedom of build.

    It's slightly different from build diversity, while closely related. GGG can tell us to play one of the 200 viable builds, which would make it a pretty diverse game, but would provide no freedom/creativity. Some people may not require a game to have such thing, but at least for me, it was one of the biggest reasons why I started, and continued to play PoE.

    What? 2 ex for 1-st lvl Enlighten?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 11:48 AM PDT

    It was promised that latest changes will bring more diverse builds

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 02:23 AM PDT

    In fact 40% of players uses only 4 skills.

    Class % of players Most used skill %
    Necromancer 18% Raise Spectre 64%
    Gladiator 16% SST 83%
    Raider 15% Toxic Rain 31%
    Raider 15% SST 19%
    Hierophant 11% Forbidden Rite 68%

    [HC] Ultimate Iron Man White Items Only challenge, Day 6. Slow day.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:08 AM PDT

    If you've reached the endgame of Expedition, do you find enough enjoyment in it to keep playing?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 10:31 AM PDT

    TL;DR I'm basically looking for a reason to keep playing this league.

    (wall of text incoming). if you don't feel like reading, your input on the title would be greatly appreciated.

    I've been playing this game since 3.6 and I've never quit a league before the last week or two of its lifespan. In fact, I couldn't put the game down during the first month of a league.

    This league, however, the game hasn't been able to hook me. My starter is doing fine in A4 t16 maps so I don't think the nerfs are to blame.

    for the past week I've been grinding Hamlet and Proxima maps for harvest, trying to craft modest upgrades for my build with no success. all I wanted was a quiver and gloves with 60 life and blind on hit, maybe a free suffix but I'll settle for just the two mods.

    today I had enough of fruitlessly chasing harvests, so I grabbed my redeemer quiver and threw my remaining currency at it. 200 alts and 350 chaos later, I got no currency and no quiver.

    I've never skipped 36 challenges before, but unless the league mechanic (which I find no more rewarding than abyss) has an enjoyable endgame, I can't find a reason to keep playing.

    PSA : Logbook remnant templates are a lie and need some adjustment.

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:29 PM PDT

    I keep noticing that my green templates aren't being true to it's position.

    Yesterday I avoided any "cannot leech mana" remnants and yet somehow I couldn't leech mana from mobs. A few days ago I somehow hit a 30% regen remnant that I know for damn sure I never selected because I am always checking every remnant, especially for phys immune and that stupid overpowered regen.

    However mostly I notice the green templates that cover something things around the edges and highlight them as green to say you are within the range, don't actually capture. I lost several excavated chests this way and what truly bugged me today was I had a secret passage that I had covered with the edge and it never opened. I made sure it was highlighted of course. But it seems it's not calculating the range properly. Perhaps there is a straight up calculation from the radial centre and it's not calculating the direction normal properly due to blockages and heightmaps in the level.

    I'm sure others have brought it up but just so you know. If you truly want something, make sure it's 100% inside the circle even if it's highlighted. If you don't want something, don't let it get near the edge at all.

    Free 6Link recipe. Sitting in Delve location now

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 09:05 PM PDT

    Edit: Calling it a night. Cheers to all that came. Had a surprise when /u/chris_wilson joined up. For anyone that didn't get a chance, I have 4 more Primeval Chamber nodes on my map. I may host again tomorrow if there's interest.

    On PC platform. Send message to <redacted since it's not up anymore> in game. I'll be here for the next hour or so.

    (I guess I have to add more text to make this post long enough so that the automod doesn't delete. Not sure how long it needs to be, hopefully this does it).

    Edit: If I don't respond, it's probably because the group is full and I lost track of messages. Hit me up in a couple more mins. I'll update this when I call it a night.

    Does GGG thinks I am not reading enough?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    Does GGG thinks I am not reading enough?

    I've done myself about 40 logbooks, all bosses solo, all underground areas of them completed up to 15 logbooks with 2 underground areas each. What am I supposed to do to progress on that quest? And does anyone knows what it leads to?
