I took your advice and rearranged some things into this build. I'm still trying for generalist because I don't know what kind of weapons I'll have, but I'm close enough to weapon nodes in marauder or ranger to specialize if I get something worthwhile. The fortify nodes don't seem worth it unless I'm going Champion.

Nice! Looks solid, and you can always go back to fix anything you don't like

tl;dr - Tougher, more direct damage, better drop table, show up more often in maps, more likely to get Beachhead from the orb.

Same, my sound flipped out right when Dialla activated the rapture device. Weirdly the music was fine but every other sound was silent or garbled. A restart fixed it for me too.

Anyone else who is getting the area change disconnects; turning off resolution scaling seemed to help me a lot. It isn't 100%, but I went from being disconnected around half the time I would zone to maybe 1/5 or 1/6.

This is a long shot, but I am in my first labyrinth and have a problem. In the first section, I have come across 2 locked doors in one area and I can't find any switches or anything to unlock them. What am I missing


Probably not a good description, but I thought I would give it a shot. General chat is currently full of trumptards talking about pizza gate some I'm not going to bother there.

You want the ones that are "Areas contain additional Monsters that deal <x> damage" because they cram even more monsters into your map, so you get the most value out of your chisels etc

Apparently someone tried an obsolete server command of some sort at GGG and it wiped all characters to level one scions, based on GGG replies on the Path of Exile subreddit. Right now they're rolling back like five minutes of server time to reinstate the characters.

I'm browsing through the Chinese q&a thread with Erik and here's some cool highlights:

"We are working at upgrading the player class models, but it is a very long process since it involves modifications to all animations and armours. By now the game has so much content so changes like this take time. I was actually looking at one of the work in progress player models earlier today, and I am very keen to get them into the game! Also I can confirm that the Templar will get pants in this update."

We are working on new portraits, and I can give you a small work in progress image of one of the Scion portraits.

We are experimenting with a system that could allow skin effects like tattoos and different skin tones at the moment. Please be patient while we are developing this kind of thing.

Q: Is possible the chararter have gender for each classes?
A: This would take a lot of resources to do, and while I'm not completely ruling it out, if we did it, it would be far into the future.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Hey I seem to be having a weird graphics issue where my AA disappears into a blurry mess, but not all of the time- usually when just running around it looks fine but in combat or town it goes to poo poo. Anyone else had this problem?
