This game so desperately needs Adventure Mode. I'm losing my will to do this loving story one more time

Delve would be perfect for this, I thought it's what they originally intended. Level endlessly in the Delve, get passive books at set intervals. They could do it with Endless Ledge as well. They could at least experiment with it one league, doesn't have to be the main league mechanic - just a side thing. If it's not good then remove it at the end of the league.

Anyone else getting insane latency spikes when going to most maps? Sitting in town my ping is usually 30ms or so but the second I start almost any map it randomly spikes between 100-1000. This hasn't been A Thing for me before and I'm 100% convinced it's on GGG's side.

I've been getting insane spikes that last for a few seconds very randomly, and when it does, I am completely frozen. So far it hasn't killed me, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I'm not even in map, I'm in Act 6, so it's not map related, and it's very rare, like maybe one time in two hours, but as it's quite random that's certainly variable.

I'm glad to see someone else is having this issue since I thought it might be a problem on my end, except that it's not happening on other games.

That's just the way he rolls.
People say they should go for quality or life, but I've been going for quality of life.

Cast when damage taken - increased duration - phase run - phase run (max lvl for manual use)
Cast when damage taken - summon ice golem - blood rage - flame dash (1 lvl over cwdt)
Cast when damage taken - increased duration - immortal call - decoy totem (1 lvl over cwdt)

It's surprisingly pleasant (and undistracting) not having to worry about spamming half my skills is!

Awesome!

I got a hanging loading screen yesterday on the last area of a fantastic labs run and started to get very angry at a video game.

Is there a practical reason you're unable to resume lab runs in case of disconnects?

Well this is dumb. Everytime I try to fight minotaur he would randomly cause my game to crash when he slams the ground. I went and ran a check on my client and it says everything is fine. Other than reinstalling probably I don't know what else to do. He crashed me out of every portal I had. What a waste of a perfectly good map.

I’ve been crashing daily with PoE, one bad enough that I found the game somehow removed from my Steam list. It’s different for everyone but my money is on the new lighting system - I have weird legacy cosmetics so they don’t seem to play nice in town with the combination of other players!

What's everyone using to push high depth delves? Thinking about maybe rolling an alt for that purpose, as I feel berserker warchiefs is a little bit squishier than desirable for that.

How would I go about pricing a 16% totem damage 14% lightning damage and 12% increased global crit chance jewel? There's nothing like it on the trade site so I'm completely unsure, because arc totems are popular right?

The crit chance mod isn't desirable. Try searching without that.

THE RESERVED LIST! THE RESERVED LIST! I CANNOT SHUT UP ABOUT THE RESERVED LIST!
It feels pretty lovely that you can only use the "visit the mine" button to return to your previous mine instance if you went to the camp manually and not if, for instance, you died after it registered completion of a new node but before you could actually pick up the loot from it. I wonder if this is the intended result in this case or if it's an oversight.

Yeah they could just retcon some poo poo like you're part of an infinite universe of exiles or whatever (wasn't this the idea of ultima online? drat I'm old) and have delves or equivalent that drop you into key boss fights in the original story that act as level gates.

It's even worse that if you leave the mine with the button and then go to your hideout (to complete a trade, say), it resets the instance and you lose any leftover loot.

I had this happen the other day, but then the next one I did went fine. No idea what caused it.

e. a few times it crashed even without him slamming, but it was too many crashes for me to clear the corrupted map.

I would really prefer if you would be quiet.


Had this happen twice because I had knockback on melee on my health flask. He'd get stuck in the wall and not take any more damage.

And you have to respawn the whole Core instance which means doing all 3 sub-bosses again :psyduck:

Just ended up rerolling the flask to prevent it.. good thing I don't have a Lion's Roar yet..

I'm not 100% positive what was causing it. He could slam a few times and be ok then suddenly the next slam and the entire screen freezes and then you get the appcrash popup a second after. I got slammed so hard he knocked me out of the game.

I would start with the node straight to the right of it. I reckon not too far north or south of the node there will be a westerly heading passageway with the blocked wall.

From personal experience, nodes with only 2 connections has a hidden wall 100% of the time. Since they can only have 1, 3, 4 connected paths. If you do one where the cart reaches the end and has no encounter for some odd reason, that also means theres a hidden path so start looking around.

This seems to be a rule, 2 nodes has hidden path except maybe at the very top of the mine.

Again, the reason for the bottom one is because it connects to two other nodes: the ones to the immediate right and left. Start looking for a path the cuts off to the north. The only exception to the "1, 3, or 4" thing is the mineshaft that Niko drills straight down, which I am guessing is on the left edge of your picture.

What should I do to improve my Arc Totem character, Pizzoccheri? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/T3suji/characters

I've been cobbling gear together as I go along, and not all of it is ideal yet. Fortunately arc totems are good enough that I'm into red maps now, but I'm starting to notice I'm not that powerful anymore. I was lucky enough to have a Void Battery drop, but I feel like to really make use of them I need another to pair it with, and they're going for 4.7-5ex right now. I could potentially afford that, but it would pretty much bankrupt me.

So I'm thinking I could:
- Re-upgrade my rare gear for more life
- Re-upgrade my Jewels (do I need to?)
- Try to find a 6-link chest - this could be pricey as well
- Save up so I can comfortably buy another void battery
- Try to sell the void battery and buy something else instead (a Shaper staff?)
