Hahaha, I got booted from the server and put into a queue. This owns.

Only 5k people ahead of me!

I don't think they estimated the number of people who wanted to play correctly!


Also is there anyone who can invite in the guild that plays any more?

Things were working really well until now, but this is the time a bunch of people got off work and are logging on. OH WELL.

SOPHISTICATED DOG SHIT
Patch is for the infinite respawns on certain Perandus Chests. There is one type that will keep spawning defender guys until the zone crashes.

I decided to play HC this season and my friend and I encountered one of these bugged chests in A1. It's a highly recommended way to get your stress levels calibrated. :negative:

Otherwise, the orb of storms leveling is far and away the fastest leveling experience I have ever encountered in my extensive time with this game.

So is the Talisman stuff gone? I thought they would be an ongoing part of the game like other league features but I haven't seen a single one.

I hope the Chests stick around for future leagues, shame if the talisman stuff was removed, I didn't try that league out.

So this has to be good for some kind of a build right? I wonder how much crit multi and elemental damage can you get on an Earthquaker.

This is straight up a weird CoC item, it's trash for actually attacking. Crit multi doesn't mean much when you have a DPS of like 30 and APS of 0.63.
Still a neat item.

Probably. This is prime time, since it's 5:30 PST, so all the west coasters just got off work and are logging on.

I can't get back in game because it says I need to download the patch, and then if I restart the game Steam says its updating but apparently doesn't do anything... gently caress, do I need to verify file integrity for this poo poo?

Be on IRC. Chris Wilson said that this poo poo would be fixed in a minute a few minutes ago, and since then a new patch has gone up for Steamers. Just restart Steam if you're not getting it yet.

edit: already discussed in thread. Also Budgie is on IRC lol. I'm a bundle of sticks for burning.

Why is PoE always such a loving nightmare to patch through Steam for me? Smite and Tribes Ascend were the only other games that gave me this much poo poo through Steam. That 5mb patch earlier took 15 minutes to download and install, and I've been sitting on "preallocating" on this one for 10 minutes. The drive Steam is on has already been error checked and defragged and has like 50gb free.
