SO AWSOME.

But for all new HC-League considerers!

- Nemesis mods everywhere with buffed Ele-Blessing
- Shrines everywhere (Stormcallers on Crit-Shrines anyone?)
- New Invasion stuff going on
- New fresh monsters with scary effects


sound pretty RIPTASTIC to me :D

This sounds so incredible. I love all this randomness in normal maps.

I might not be the most experienced player but it does drive me up a wall when changes really only have an effect on players who haven't yet farmed insane ammount of loot or currency with the current system.

Fact to the matter is everyone who hasn't done so, is now in major disadvantage just because of way GGG decided to go about things. You can tell me to start on a new league, wich I might do but having said that why would I have to start from scratch to be on even grounds in terms of what comes to earning currency? Why am I not allowed the same chance than you were?

Furthermore since unique changes do nada to existing uniques, it furthermore just increases the distance between players who have farmed and haven't.

Now if you are one of the players that have, then I salute you. Good job.

As someone who has a passing interest in PoE every few months or so, I haven't, unsuprisingly, and feel somewhat let down.

But if it does make the game more popular then I suppose its good for GGG and that makes it okay. I understand that they're out to make money. But I highly doubt that starting from a position of major disadvantage will make the game any more enjoyable. As you must understand that if you play the game for 4 months, you'´ll get returned to Default in wich you're instantly inferior to everyone who has a legacy unique and currency earned by MF.

Since i am a masochist that loves extreme difficulties, i really can't wait to try the new leagues :)

Boring.
The SoTV mail also lies about a CT League.....

How about a full clear? It's not a wipe. A wipe resets all characters to level 1 and deletes items. A full clear also deletes characters.

Any chance we will see an updated passive tree here in the website before the expansion launches?

Nope, imo they are working on it atm.

Aw... And here I was hoping to work on some passives today and tomorrow morning to distract myself xD

This game is the truth!

It's good we add bosses, more "ways to die", new single, etc etc. But the problem of this game are the Desync!

Thanks for the patch, but disappointed that the big problems are not resolved for all time.

I prefer not to talk about nerfs BoR / Malygaros & co

Noone likes nerfs, but in the end a better game for all. Wont see me cryin'. Lets hope i can keep most of my 4 IQ gems in HC. Not too hard when I only use those chars for about 6weeks per year :)

how some ppl already knows Bor and Aegis nerf like 2 week ago plz GGG explain this

i'm so mad

in the podcast with Hege and Aux they brought up Bringer and Aegis being way op, overused and just a bit of a no brainer option, which is a widely held view now days. Chris didn't say if he was going to nerf them/had already nerfed them etc, but he said 'maybe with the changes we have planned for the mini expansion it wont be such a problem. Leading many people to believe they were being nerfed, and others believing block chance was going to be nerfed rather than the items themselves.

Standard just become even more RMT obligatory mess. Want to make new build? 200ex per item pls.

this is so ridiculous, 200ex, what are you trying to buy? a mirror of the best item on the server for every slot? You dont have 200ex to spend on every slot and you think you should have the best items ever found/crafted on standard?

Dude. 1st of all I think you don't realy get concept of constant progress of single character (or 2-3 max) over years. In such a messed up perma league it become comedy mixed with madness and masochism. 2nd, yes mirrors are worth that much NOW, some legacy items as well. And prices will go up when the limit is ''sh*t whye I should buy it with X exalts? I will be probably successful crafting it myself''. Legacy Aegis 300 ex soon just becasue it's powerfull build enabler like kaoms heart and legacy version of it is 2x better.

I think I get it just fine. Ive played this game for over 3000 hours in standard league last year, have 3 main characters in the late 80s/early 90s. To significantly upgrade most of the slots Id be looking at 50-100 exalt + items. Good job my characters can solo pretty much any map a chaos can throw up aside bloodmagic, usually with extreme force. I dont even need the gear levels I have already, its way beyond what I need or what I can ever realistically expect to find upgrades for. The guys who have better gear than me have played the game for twice as many hours, mix/maxed their systems so much better, hoarded 10x the wealth I have. If they didnt have better gear than me something would be seriously wrong with the game.


Aegis was 15ex not so long ago, 4ex a while before that. If you actually wanted one you had ample time to get one. I sold a Kaoms Heart (a proper Kaoms Heart) for 30ex back in like March, that was the going rate at the time. Im not bitter at all about the price of a legacy Kaoms now, doesnt effect me at all.

Name one game that erases all characters every single patch or every single expansion? WoW has been around for 10 years without any wipe and people still have a chance of getting in it now and competing, that is because the endgame is always evolving. I don't know if PoE plans to do that, but we know that most of the competition in this game is in the temporary leagues and in the races. You seem to be worrier about competing with other players in the SC and HC leagues, but that barely happens there.
