frajaq posted:This Mayhem race Races can get pretty nuts, but they can be hit-or-miss. I suggest everyone do at least one Headhunter (everyone gets the mod-stealing ability of the Headhunter and every mob has a rare monster in it, even on Twilight Strand) and one Descent/Descent: Champions race (I'd throw [even more] money at GGG to be able to do those outside of race events). Oh, and a BLAMT*. *Blood Magic, Lethal, Ancestral, Multiple Projectile, Turbo = All enemies deal 50% more damage, of which half of that is split between fire/cold/lightning, move/attack/cast 60% faster and fire two extra projectiles. Oh, and there's totems everywhere. Oh, and double gently caress you, you have Blood Magic. Good luck even getting to Ledge.

Also just to clear up how they give prizes: So say, only the first 75 players that reach level 85 will get the horns and wings? Same with other levels? If I were to continue trying in this mayhem race I would just do it for the fun and have no chance at getting anything at the end, considering this event has been live for 10+ hours already?

No, level based prizes are randomly chosen from anyone who made it to those level breakpoints.

Mayhem is a "good" time to try and get that beginners luck achievement. When it's spirits time you can get a 4 ghost hillock quite easily. Sadly in 10 tries I couldn't get a unique from him even then

whypick1 posted:...I'd throw [even more] money at GGG to be able to do those outside of race events I want to say I recently heard something about some sort of paid "personal guild league" system where a guild could specify a custom ruleset for their members to be able to play that GGG was working on, so maybe this will actually be a thing eventually. And yeah, it'd be glorious play a custom league with the awesome old modifiers/spawns.

I think that plan has been set aside for the time being. I think they'd come to the conclusion that splitting the playerbase, and giving them whatever they want when they want is bad for player retention.

I'd bet it's more of a backend issue more than anything (they can only run 3 race leagues at a time with whatever their current system is, for example).

So as long as you participate in one of the races before FOO releases, you get the mystery box prize and are in the draw for those prizes assuming youve reached the break point?

I played a bit this morning and I had breaches in my Twilight Strand. Can you not change what you get with an instance reset? I loaded 10 instances of the submerged passage hoping for not invasion bosses and didn't get anything different.

Yeah, it's like tempest/warbands where the mod on the zone is always the same for a given timeframe. Every hour the mayhem effect changes for a given area.

The only bug I have with PoE is that when I log in the loading things get all jammed up and CTD, and when I reload the game, it's perfectly fine? I made it to Merciless Act 3 with my flameblast totem Witch, all I do is find Ranger uniques.

Tried out mines for the first time on the 2 week race. They're a little bit clunky to start since it seems like you have to shift click them or else your character will move before laying the mine. Now that I'm in merc dried lake it feels pretty smooth. Every couple of mines potentially clears out multiple screens depending on where they feel like targeting. It's been really cheap to gear too.

Premium tab upgrades or the Mega tab imo. The latter is best as your trading tab, the former for organization and/or trading. Essence and Div tabs are nice, since those can easily eat up a ton of space, but I probably wouldn't have gotten them if I hadn't bought that bundle.

Currency > Premium > Quad (or multiple regular/premium depending on points cost I suppose) >>> anything else Until you have a good number of normal tabs, Essense/Div tabs aren't worth it imo. They don't even fill a normal tab out each unless you gather an obscene number of different Div cards - I usually top out at about half a tab of cards per League, playing ~150 - 200 hours. Sure they do have a convenience advantage - though even that is arguable with the Cards tab - in terms of sorting and ease of browsing, but when you're buying your first tabs you absolutely need normal tabs you can put anything you want into first.

Essences really just need to have a chance of dropping from "every" rare monster you come across, and a guaranteed drop from essence packs. Because yeah, the essence tab is mostly wasted now that its league is done. It's not like they haven't nerfed the hell out of the "easy leveling" essences already. RIP 2-hour merciless runs with a new character.

I think he means back when the corrupted essences weren't level gated, i.e. drop 200dps burning ground just by moving or 1000dps decay on hit both at (potentially) level 1

Any chance they're going to remove the invasion boss gangbang in the lab final treasure room in the two week? Waste of time doing the whole thing then have to logout before you can get the ascendancy points.

yeh I'm good now. Just annoying that you randomly get your lab run voided like that. (maybe some builds can kill all those at once but I'm way too scared to attempt it).

I was thinking of doing some casual Mayhem since I can't dedicate as much time to it as I could the 1-week, and figured I'd go all out with something I've never done before AKA double-dipping abuse. I figured since I've never played a ranged character either I'll do a Voltaxic Rift Assassin (because I can't be bothered to play PF) with Barrage and whatever AoE skill I choose. Unlike last couple builds I figured I'd just go all out and copy one this time but apparently nobody likes Voltaxic on Assassin, at least not in 2.6 which is when I was searching, except one guy doing a Life build but I'm dead set on ES this time around. And I gotta say trying to build it myself in PoB it seems to come up short in every way. Barely 100k sheet dps with flasks up, no leech without Vinktar/Atziri up, low accuracy with no obvious place to get much more, etc. Anyone done it themselves recently or the like so I can get anything to work with?

Just started playing a little over a week ago. I just kind of want to know, to put it flatly, if off-meta builds can be workable for endgame stuff, or if you're more or less obligated to be a meta-slave if you want to beat the hardest content?
