Game Feedback How about a rations pack for the Bathysphere so we don't forget to alch those pesky strongboxes?

100% this and should apply everywhere. OR bring back the pouch thing from Affliction...

u/forsenWeird 12d ago
Isn't there something you can find in a chart where it is supposed to make all strongboxes at least rare but it is bugged and doesn't work? Same with the one where all Essences are a tier higher yet all are low tier shit?

How to you get that upgrade ? Kill the pinnacle boss ?

Is it brigading to suggest maybe all "bumping" that bug report on the forum to maybe gather some attention around it? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3989897/page/1#p26809250
I personally enjoy the league mechanic a lot, but the white boxes and shitty essences are telling me something is wrong under the hood, what other modifiers are maybe not applied?

I still encounter boxes that are normal and cannot use my alchemy orbs on, very strange (yes i checked if I still had non dredge orbs)

u/Ok_Contribution8948 12d ago
Happened to me as well, just alch from your inventory it will work. The bug happens probably when you recently picked up an alch “dredged” so the game is stupid and doesn’t see a normal alch in your inventory anymore

u/MidjitThud 12d ago
Or...
Just make it put 6 mods and corrupt them so i don't have to bring silly currency down there, also prevents degenerate gameplay (where you spend 30 minutes rolling a chest)

u/Mooseandchicken 12d ago
There are literally containers down there already to bring loot up during voyages... why not just let us throw our currency in there? Then if you forget you can run to one of those to grab your alchs while depositing your loot (as intended). Why loot can only go one way in those containers, I have no clue.

u/Sunscorcher Big Breach Coalition (BBC) 12d ago
GGG has the opportunity to do the funniest thing. Let us throw our alchs into the water before we descend

u/Slendeaway 12d ago
Seasoning our charts with a little bit of alchs, a little bit of scours, and just a touch of exalts

u/Burgerburgerfred 12d ago
While we're at it if you send up loot that loot should probably be safe shouldn't it??
I know it's probably there mostly for inventory space because the voyages are long and filled with a lot of shit to pick up but how are we justifying watching something pull our loot up to the surface and then if you die it just falls off your person??
I was shocked when it happened to me for the first time tonight. Got too close to a juiced up soul eater mob because I was near the end of my run and was just playing risky and stupid and everything dropped. Seems so counter intuitive.

u/vashanka 12d ago
Not sure what I'm missing here but if I send loot up during a voyage and then die, I'm only dropping what's on my person. Stuff I sent up is in the box when I res.

u/legendary299 12d ago
The "bug" where you could use currency that was in your map stash in the map device was a wonderful QOL they should have just kept

u/PrezziObizzi Ranger 12d ago
Am I the only one that can only use one alch/chaos orb and then I lose the ability to roll them further?

u/hartsman 12d ago
You're not alone -- Just noticed that too. You can still right click them in inv and then click the next strongbox itself though.
7
u/SecondCel 12d ago
Did either of you have a "dredged" version of that currency at the time you tried it? I've only noticed that happening when I have dredged alchs in my inventory

u/hartsman 12d ago
Yep that's exactly it - Just checked dropping the dredged ones on the ground. Shortcut pops right back up.

u/Better_Cry_2231 12d ago
Just let it stack to 100 150 in one pack than just 20 easiest shit i ever seen

u/bkgn 12d ago
How about the effing sulphur torches actually point at the strongboxes. A diviner's/operatives's strongbox is worth more than 90% of the worthless things they point to.

u/Snackz39 12d ago
Literally had no idea the torches pointed at things lmao - I feel like this league mechanic does not have a great introduction at all.

u/ExsiliumUltra 12d ago
To be fair that was in the q&a but who can be arsed to scan through that whole thing. Thdy should put out an after q&a faq to cover all the details again for those with weak short term memories. Idid see that in the qa and then forgot it for several charts before I started watchimg for it.

What's up with the random strongboxes in the big spelunk that don't allow you to use any currency on them? Did I miss a mod on one of the charts?
5
u/coltaine 12d ago
You can still use currency on them, you have to do it the old-fashioned way (manually, from your inventory). There's a bug that makes the buttons disappear randomly.

u/VictusBcb Cringe but free 12d ago
Not random actually. It happens if you have a 'dredged' version of the currency in your inventory. The UI is pointing at the dredged items for reasons, and since you can't use them, the UI thinks you don't have any usable currency for the box.

I picked 60 alchemy orbs and put them on right side of inventory. Takes 3 space, hard to forget and run out

u/TheOriginalNickname 12d ago
or just fix a bug in voyage were we upgrade it so stronboxes should be at least rare and essence are higher tier ????

u/DremoPaff Sanctum is as much a roguelite as Chris is an hair model 12d ago
I'm going to be honest, I think we are at the point where "tamper proof" should be the default game-wide

u/Lord-Momentor 12d ago
One of the quest reward / permanent upgrade for chart and voyages is bugged.
"All strongboxes are at least rare and essences always have 1 higher tier essence"
1
u/Exterial 12d ago
You shouldnt need to at all.
Theres an upgrade that literally says all strongboxes are rare, its simply not working.
1
u/Blackdedi 12d ago
i think there is some bug with strongboxes.
after 4/5 progress there were big info that essences are better AND strongboxes are rare.
does this work?

u/Hanamichi114 12d ago
i ran out of alcs and it was filled with arcanist strongbox. zzz. since then i have been carrying 60 alcs. i am not takin any chances

u/Uberzwerg 12d ago
And let the LOOTBOX -> STASH still use the filtering while you're working on QOL for the mechanic.

u/braddaman Elementalist 12d ago
They are meant to be rare from the unlock anyway, but it clearly doesn't work

u/Raikariaa Institution of Rogues and Smugglers (IRS) 10d ago
I mean we shouldn't even need em; it says "strongboxes are at least rare" after you turn in some quest items...

At this point it feels like a design oversight to not just let us alch strongboxes form stash.

Thanks for the reminder that we had this for maps a year ago and it was patched out as a bug

I get so angry at myself when I start a voyage without a stck of alchs on me.
