Today finally comes that magical time where a game has a massively anticipated launch and every gamer in the world somehow forgets that this is going to explode the servers, despite having seen it happen a dozen times in a dozen games. Good luck, guys, but keep your expectations low at launch time. I'll be mining Reddit salt.

For a righteous fire build, I'm thinking of either going with Scion with this build https://pastebin.com/qnRi8cnC or Juggernaut with this build https://pastebin.com/pB7pHR5Y

With Scion, it would be pathfinder/trickster to keep life regen up and with juggs would be endurance charges.

I've been gone from the game for ages, anyone able to help me figure out the pro/cons of the different ascendancy?

I can't decide what to pick for a starter build. The choosing is always the hardest part of any league.

Poedb put this up as the new dark pact:
pre:
Uses your Life if no Skeletons in range
is_area_damage
+4 Radius if using your Life
(0–95)% more Damage with Hits and Ailments if using your Life
Chains +2 Times
Deals (20–201) to (30–301) Chaos Damage
6% of hit Skeleton's Life dealt as Area of Effect Chaos Damage
Looks like the life based damage might not be a spell and you do a bit less selfcast damage.

Sounds worrying, unless it just decreased the More multiplier.

Since we have a lot of people returning after a while not playing the game here is a good thing to know.

Quality is not consumed when using a jeweler or fusing orb making 6s and 6l far more common than they were in patch 2.0

While true, historically GGG's launches have been some of the best in the business as far as playability goes.

Wasn't the legacy launch actually really smooth? I expect 3.0 to be bigger, obviously.

This will likely be the most people playing poe at any time by a wide wide margin. Even game updates without a massive playerbase at the time can go wrong, like the mtx rollout/rollback/rollout/rollback/rollout/chrisfuckedup/final rollout. I am not expecting things to hit the fan, but I won't be too surprised if they do.

Does GGG release numbers for peak player count on the standalone client? For legacy it hit 65k peak on steam but I know a lot of people don't use the steam version.

It was around 112k for the 2.6 launch total.

Well, shit.
Finally decided, gonna start as SR RF. Not the most imaginatively but it seems strong as a starter and I haven't played it before. I assume Ziggy's build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r749EjIgzQ) is as good as any?

Not going to be able to start at launch time because the patch is far too big for my lovely Mexican internet to download by then. At least there'll be some stuff in the guild stash by the time I finally get online!

I made a sab for mines+frostbolt with 2 frozen trail jewels. Planning on going life+mom+acro, but there was some stuff that I didn't enjoy about the playstyle. I ran some regular atziris and its such a pain in the rear end to use mines that shoot projectiles when there are all those doorways and poo poo.

Now I am thinking of doing marauder cyclone something, again I am far from confident in it or any build.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
This seems safe for a league starter that has potential to clear shaper and other end game content right? Last league I think I poo poo out around the late 70s and I wanna try and go for some or all of the end game bosses/maps/etc, and this build seems like a decent starter that has potential to do it.

Think I've settled on something even more important than my build: what my character name is going to be. It was a long struggle full of soul-searching, but I believe I've made the right choice. Thank you all for your understanding.
