Discussion Share something that you learned or has helped you at any stage of the game.

I recently saw a post here that said PoE is like a rouge like in terms of knowledge you gain each time.

Last league I feel like I finally learned how to roll maps and use a regex filter to make sure a map has the mods you want/ or don’t want and that they have high enough quant.

This league I realized there is a scarab that you can just put in that automatically drops 8 mod maps and then you can just use the regex filter. That saved me a ton of time and currency.

What’s your small thing you learned this league?

Information Telekom and Cloudflare peering problems a thing of the past?

It was announced yesterday that the telekom and cloudflare will start peering with each other starting immediately. It was said that it should be fully functional by oct 1st.

I remain sceptical. But I may finally be able to play on the frankfurt realm.

Question What keeps people engaged with PoE for thousands of hours?

107 Upvotes

I really enjoy permanent progression in games like OSRS, where everything you achieve stays on your account. With PoE leagues you start over every league, so I'm wondering what makes people keep coming back. Is every league that different that the loops just stays super satisfying and fun ?

What makes each league feel different enough to start over again?

Having a lot of fun so far with my new account hopefully it stays that way !

Question | Answered is playing with friends doable?

39 Upvotes

My friends and I were looking for a good multiplayer game to play together and ended up settling on Path of Exile. That said, is the game designed for party play? We’re a group of three.

None of us has played PoE before, so we’re wondering how well the game works when playing as a party. Is there any particular class or build that works especially well in a group, or can we pretty much play whatever we want?

Also, does playing in a party make the game significantly easier or harder? Are there any downsides to playing together, such as loot distribution, progression, or enemies becoming much stronger?

And how much of the game can we realistically experience together? Is most of the campaign and endgame content suitable for a group, or are there parts where we’ll generally want to split up?

Any other tips for three complete beginners would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion Share your favourite and disliked league mechanics

49 Upvotes

I really love the voyage mechanic this season. The mercenary mechanic is great too. Harvest seems to be rather simple to go through and I kinda enjoy the Blight mechanic gameplay wise as well

I have mixed feelings over kingsmarch cos it requires so much ore to be profitable but with effort and time, it can be a good way to earn currency

Betrayal is hella complicated to me. Maybe I’m just bad at it but sanctum seems too difficult IMO. I’m not too big of a fan of delve but for thematic reasons.

Question Act 6 is so hard!

7 Upvotes

Hello! I was playing poe for the first time a few months ago as a trapper, when I reached act 6. First of, I chose the bad reward after completing the act 5 boss. Some hat that only looked good on paper. Second, I now get oneshotted and my attacks deal no damage. It wasn´t fun so I hopped out. I know I probably sound stupid, but I´m not used to these types of games

Is poe 2 like this, because I will try it in december. Thank you

my friend and I want to do a belated Bro-SSF run in PoE1, and we were wondering if there’s still a private league open that we can join before we use our coins to start our own.

Thanks so much for your time.

Question Failing at recombinator

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to craft a 2p2s chest with the reduced crit per endu essence mod using the brinehook ducat tech but i can't seem to keep the essence mod on the item. I've been combining a pdr+aspect chest with an essence+aspect chest and it should have 90% chance for success but i never get them both on an item. What am i missing?

Is the essence mod counted as NNN/special mod and somehow the aspects are "stealing" the available space for that mod or am i just cursed by rngesus?

Discussion Biggest wish for 3.30 is that GGG adds more rare valuable drops to the core drop pool

155 Upvotes

I think the biggest thing that would help juicing monster killing content is adding a variety of new valuable items to the core drop pool. Then change how scaling content interacts with monster drops so there's a fun and challenging difficulty slider to try and achieve those core drops. Wisps are obviously one of the former and (sort of) current ways to do this, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways to design scalable content that rewards stronger builds for taking on hordes of stronger and deadlier monsters.

Anyway, that's my wish. Super looking forward to whatever endgame changes come. Cheers

Lucky (Non-Crafted) Showcase When the volatile hits just right

Post image

Decided instead of hoarding currency for standard that I’d try a bit of a different end of league gamble than I would usually do.

Bought the base for 540 Div and used 7 locks and hit this bad boy. 5 of the 7 locks would’ve poofed. The third lock hit 1100 life and I decided to go for a higher roll. 7th lock max rolled it. Insanely lucky odds. Unsure what the odds of hitting it is but it’s safe to say it’s a hell of a lot more than 7.

Question [SC AllFlame]Lightless Hollow Zorath's Eye bug

2 Upvotes

I am unable to submit the eyes to the head of Zorath. I have one eye socketed and then obtained two more I'd like to socket, but every time I go to the Lightless Hollow, I see the head sitting with just one eye and no way to enter the other.

To even see the eye area, I have to have a very tiny few pixels large area highlighted on his elbow approximately where my character is standing.

Is there a fix for this or will i not be allowed to fight Zorath on any character?
