lurksion posted:OK, that new jewel is really loving good for Scions if I'm not blind. Basically all the (originally kinda of poo poo) starting nodes are within range of 3x jewels + the 2x life rectangle (or 2x ES wheel) Apparently jewel sockets are notables so it's never going to be used by anyone.

Mr. Despair posted:The important question we should be asking is whether these items have 3d art or not. With Abyss they seem to have fixed their 3d art pipeline, so that the league uniques have 3d art during the league, unlike poor lightning coil that finally got 3d art 3 leagues after anyone used it.

Pathfinder may be a decent league starter as you can apparently get permanent uptime on a bismuth flask with that changed node and can probably skip that whole gearing phase where you have to spend half your chaos to fix your resists after act 10. Might do that and respec to deadeye if they put anything halfway interesting in there. Jean Eric Burn fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Feb 24, 2018 |

Dunno why everyone's yelling SET ITEMS now but not then. besides the fact that people like to bitch about every little change, real change or not   There is a pretty important difference between these two crab items, namely that the boots don't actually give you crab and do nothing without the chest. You can use one of the pieces by itself, and you can just wear a couple crab items instead of all 4? of them, but you still have 3 items that just have a lot of flavor text without the first. It seems way more flexible than most set implementations, but I would definitely call it more of a set than harbinger or abyss items. These set items are probably a fun and good thing though, as long as the items that grant the skills are the most common ones.

One of the preview items is a rare with aspect of the cat so it seems likely that all the aspects can be beastcrafted.

The cat chest doesn't have aspect, so I bet one unique per set does but otherwise you have to craft

I also have a feeling they've been testing some of this for a while... I know some of the crafting options they showed were things like "give an item a white socket", and it'd explain why the abyss preview had a bunch of rares and poo poo with white sockets but no corruption. Hopefully this means the crafting poo poo will be sweet if nothing else.

Random reddit speculation and the fact that it happens to be indented under notable in the player-edited wiki is not exactly a reliable source. We'll find out soon enough.

My new years resolution is that this league I'll make my own build. I hope these new uniques aren't super rare because I want them.

Making your own build is a lot easier now than it used to be, that's for sure. There's a lot more things that are viable, and stuff is overall easier to correct. Pick your clearing skill Pick your single target (sometimes optional) Pick your ascendancy Pick your key unique items Pick life, CI, or hybrid Pick your notables Fill in life or ES to taste (I do 180% life for ranged, 200% for melee) Fill in damage Don't build out past level 85 or 90.

And then plug it all in to path of building with an average set of gear and look at the life/dps.

It was so bad someone else put out a whole video series roasting it. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1931981

I'm really not digging all these aspect things. But who knows, maybe it'll be good. GGG's been on a kick lately of making uniques give those rotating buffs. Sorry GGG, I'm not going to janitor my auras.

I don't plan to pay any attention to the durations on these things, just 'sometimes I punch harder, it'll even out' and just keep swinging.

Sorry GGG, I'm not going to janitor my auras. I think it's pretty cool that they're trying a bunch of different mechanics and seeing what sticks. I've been playing the new Diablo season and absolutely nothing has changed about the game at all and it makes you feel like the game isn't evolving in any way and there's no reason to keep coming back. I'm not as interested in this league as Abyss, but it still sounds interesting and different.

As long as it isn't mandatory to wear a full set of items I'm fine with the new uniques. I just wouldn't want the game to go the direction diablo 3 has.

Speaking of Diablo, let's see if they can make these intermittent buffs feel more engaging and relevant than Convention of Elements.

It's going to work the same way as Breach currently does where there's a small chance they will appear on your maps. Possibly available as a Zana mod.

I'm not as interested in this league as Abyss, but it still sounds interesting and different. I actually just tried D3 again, for no real reason. It's been quite a few seasons and everything is still the same, isn't it? I'm bored at level 54 "levelling" on hardcore seasonal and at 70 there's maybe 3 choices? It's a drat shame, because I like the look and feel, there's just nothing behind it sadly.

It's almost as if one of the two games being compared here is a F2P that has to push new content to generate interest and retain/gain playerbase.

I really wish that totems didn't apply EE, I would be really tempted to roll a Hierophant otherwise. I hate totem builds but the ability to have 3 or 4 with the vastly increased placement speed is really tempting. Maybe I'll do one anyway.

D3 still bothers to have seasons and it has additional content to sell. I know they’re very different games but it’s kind of crazy to me how much of a better model PoE has created in terms of maintaining a long-term player base.

well from what I understand Diablo 3 has basically a skeleton crew on it acting as life support, while PoE has a full team dedicated to it 100%

D3 would absolutely be a contender if they wanted it to be, but they made their apologies for vanilla and closed the book.

They already got your money and they don't feel it's worthwhile to switch their development/business model. They're Blizzard, the gently caress do they care.

George posted:I totally think there's room for the classic expansion model; they just had to keep making them. Of course there is, they've just deemed it not worth their effort. The level of work necessary to produce ~a Blizzard expansion pack~ is extreme. You're talking hundreds of staff for months to a year or longer, and for what, 40 bucks a head? Drop it to 20 after a year? Chances are the bean counters said gently caress it.
