"All Veiled mods will be craftable at your crafting bench once they're unveiled."

So, multimod items are going to be the default endgame for, uh, everything now right?

e: also, is it possible for a party to play the ctf pvp because i am at my loving wits end trying to get into a pubby match for this achievement

It's quite possible multimod has been changed or removed or just doesn't work with these

Based on what it sounds like, multimod and other previously level 8 mastercrafts are probably going to be very rare nodes in delve or certain rare beasts. I don't think they'll be making access any easier, so the reward will probably match the same time commitment.

Which means three people in guild will get them the first weekend and promptly quit, while people like me will never see them.

What time of day does the league start usually? I know mid league patches tend to be very late evening for me (the signal that I should go to bed), is that still the case and if so is it the Thursday/Friday or Friday/Saturday?

I usually just get into it on the Saturday but I've got some leave to burn and figured I may as well take a day for monster clicking.

I don't know how to say this without sounding condescending, so please understand that I'm just trying to give you accurate information:
There's a countdown at the top of pathofexile.com that tells you, down to the second, when the league will start.

Note that you can start queuing into a line for the login server well before that (perhaps 1-2 hours?) and the people in the queue invariably start being let in a little early as well, perhaps 15-30 mins before the official launch time.

I think it's just less stressful on the infrastructure than everyone hammering on it simultaneously.

GGG has gotten a lot better about beefing up the servers on launch weekend too. Last few leagues were pretty ok for launch despite being record high players. I think there was an authentication server crash in Bestiary that cost like 15-20 minutes of time, but Incursion and Delve were both flawless.

The only really bad launch I remember in recent times was due to a code error that meant each player used orders of magnitude more server memory than intended. It hosed the servers for a couple of hours before it was fixed, which is really not bad at all when you consider Error 37 and poo poo like that.

oh cool thanks. I forgot they did that because I don't visit the main website page because there's literally nothing of any use there when my browser already has the trade site and the forums saved, and I haven't opened the game because I'm not going to patch and open a game I have not played for several weeks and will not play for several more on a regular basis.

edit: secondary question, does the patch usually hit steam much before the opening of the league? My internet is such that the download takes hours so if the league starts at 7pm (which looks like the case) then I'll start playing at like 11.

Insane in what way? It's not OP at all, but if you like the BV style where you frontload all your keystrokes and then just run, it's good.

WRT winter orb, the more I think about it the more it seems that raider might have more to offer than deadeye. Double strength onslaught is what, +40% cast speed? combine that with the veil/phasing branch and skip frenzy charges, go shield and crit spell dagger, charge to max, shield charge and phase through packs, repeat.

I just came into 8ex and am wondering what I can do to make this guy actually good. The build is really fun but currently too squishy. I'm thinking of grabbing a Loreweave, but what else could I do?

edit: Got my Loreweave for 5ex, I guess I should buy some good steel rings.

You can get a pair of boots with more MS. You can also get a better Atziri's Promise inexpensively. You're also giving up a bunch of damage on your amulet but without seeing your resists I don't know how much you can give up.

Yeah I could get away with lower resists on there. Any big recommendations besides flat phys? Also I have a fast QS flask and phase run going for mobility, so the move speed hasn't really felt bad.

You can get an elemental damage with attacks roll and flat phys or something on the amulet probably? Or a shaped base for something different like %phys as extra or ele penetration, you'll probably benefit from throwing some stuff in a path of building and seeing what sticks. As for mobility, I always feel like more never hurts; running around and killing stuff is what you're doing so running faster is a pretty big part. I'm not entirely sure what your build works best with so I don't want to give bad advice so most of this is pretty generic. What has given you the most difficulty?

You can craft the veiled mods onto good resist jewellery; if anything this makes it easier to use more rares because you can get things like +1 curse on chest etc.

You can also shore up resists with a few resist mods across your jewels if necessary. I also prefer to use rare helmets for most builds where you don't need a build defining unique. Even losing the damage from, say, Starkonjas on a bow build, tends to be fine since a decent rare with 90+% Res gives you a lot more flexibility on other slots. Finding an opal ring with life and WED is a lot easier when you don't also need it to have resists.

Theory: most of the really good enchants will be on chest to bust the Loreweave/Kaoms/Inpulsa meta. And probably gloves for Tombfists.

I'm thinking of building a lowlife GC mines sab to pursue delving deeper, and possibly delving deeper than my CP inquis. I have ~3ex in currency, and if I convert probably 4-5ex. Pricing my equipment, I come to around 20ex. Can someone else look over my equips and tell me how much they think they're worth?
