Delve would be my favorite league if you could do it more and maps less

Red Red Blue posted:Delve would be my favorite league if you could do it more and maps less Yes indeed. I may not even get my reroll to level 90, I've been rapidly losing steam although I'm almost to 89 now, but the only reason I run maps is to get sulphite to go back to exploring in the delve, but the sulphite costs are getting pretty bad relative to the time required to collect it.

yea, I'm running back-to-back shaped wastepool to go on what seems like a short delve runs at depth 415. I just want to find an Aul but it's getting a little frustrating. I keep on finding that rear end in a top hat architect I don't enjoy the fight because half of the attacks I can barely see or tell where they are gonna land. Also gently caress the degen or whatever on the ground that's barely noticeable.

I greatly enjoyed my time in Delve, but it's time to go. I've played this league longer than any league since Legacy or so. I'm trying to get 36 challenges but if I don't get an Aul by the end of the weekend coming up I'll just pass on the portal. Or I guess probably 3 more Architects or Kurgals, which is more likely.

I am so sick of games not giving any shits about being fun and enjoyable in pursuit of getting players to play longer. GGG is alright about this in that they still care about making a good game.

I love the league contents, but I burned out like 2 weeks in - before I even got ti mapping. Delve essentially doubled the amount of areas you need* to clear to reach end-game. *My lizard brain couldn't stand wasting fuel, and IIRC the auto-delving as you level hadn't been implemented at that point.

dyzzy posted:Niko's shaft was always a thing iirc Path of Exile: Niko's Shaft was Always a Thing. It's too late to suggest anything in the league, but it would have been a huge boon if we could pay Niko to drill down. Sometimes just figuring out how to progress to lower depths efficiently is a chore.

I'm fairly certain the node challenges can't be shared (have to be your own mine) - you can share boss kills / challenges though. If I'm wrong and they can be shared, I have some primeval nodes I haven't completed and can share. e: beaten, but yea, can't share them.

I don't think you can get credit for them unless they're yours. Certainly can't do that with boss / delve encounters challenges anymore. GGG went really hard on challenge sharing this league. Which is fine, except they really should have made bosses even more common.

You can definitely share boss kills and challenges, but not node challenges, unless they changed that in the past couple weeks. I mooched a kurgal kill off a friend and just bought an aul kill to finish my challenges. Never managed to find either of those myself.

You can still buy/share boss kills and challenges, but doing so will complete the boss node. GGG stopped people from doing kills / challenges in someone else's mine (without the person being present, maybe?) which didn't finish the node (making the boss repeatable).

I'm not saying they should ignore player retention / time played I'm just saying when that's the metric people use to measure success games suffer. I get the feeling that player retention / time played = money made and that's why games are so focused on it even willing to sacrifice quality to make that metric higher. TV suffers from the same thing I blame Lost. Lost dangles main story progression in front of you so that you're willing to watch endless back story from every character. It was a bad show that got 6 seasons because people watched wanting to know what's in the hatch, what's that clock do, what are those other stations and slowly advancing the present day story line. It's easier to get people to play more then make a game that people want to play more. Delve is good in one sense because it does make people want to play more. Delve is bad because it inflates play time by forcing people who do not want to interact with maps to interact with maps. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Oct 25, 2018 |

Because I'm fairly certain you cant do the main "kill all 3 bosses" challenge outside your' own mine I'm fairly confident the first Kurgal I killed (not in my mine) gave me credit towards the "kill all 3 bosses" challenge but I don't recall at this point and I've killed a few in my own mine. The one I did recently in a friend's delve was a "kill while you x" though, yes.

So I'm playing a consecrated path inquisitor and I'm having problems with my sustain. Does anyone have some ideas how to go about this? I'd also like to know if it's worth it so switch from my Ahn's Might to a rare sword. I have about 50c to spend right now. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/danceofficer/characters character is Workingthatball PS I'm aware I don't have the last ascendancy points, uberlab has not been kind to me with ctd's and random deaths.

I am now up to 8 pubbies that have been unable to kill my Aul. Five of them, after listing my mods, have outright declined to try. They continued to do so after I told them they can have the loot for all I care. Three of them that tried all got splattered like a bug on a windshield. One guy insisted that he had hosed up somewhere and demanded a redo. It wasn't him. If you don't have an endgame+++ geared jugg he will one shot you with his auto attack, as my latest pubbie discovered.

I was on the fence about rolling an Ice Golem Elementalist just because I have the spare currency, a spare Elementalist, it looks really fun, and I've always wanted to roll one. Then I found that place.
