Damnit Steve, you know I'm a sucker for Back to the Future references.
Has anyone else's challenge list just lost progress? I had a bunch of Encounter 4's done like 75 Legion encounters, suddenly it's now down to 63?

nvm I'm seeing this is an issue

Barrage Support scales with extra projectiles very well. Split Arrow has a ton of base proj and also high flat phys.

I'm really bored so I found a thread on the POE forum from when they released oba's cursed trove. It's pretty funny to see what people were complaining about before 7 years of power creep.

I hate "challenges" which "challenge" your trading-grade uber-gear or RMT-grade wallet, more than actually challenging your ability to play the game.

I still think this map is just another "let's make it impossible for poorer players" map.
DPS-check? gently caress that.
I tried it together with a friend, he CoC ST lvl 89, me Tornado Shot lvl 87.
We did not succeed, although killing quite fast (we reached lvl 76, but then the countdown started), and I count us to the higher DPS builds.
So, to beat this map, you are required to have godly items like 6L extreme dam/crit weapon and 6L armor, all 20/20 gems and so on... or any OP build that's broken anyway. Really? Great! Thank you... NOT!

I don't remember Oba's Cursed Trove ever being hard, I distinctly remember being underwhelmed by it because everyone's original expectations were set by a very funny video of people in HC going blind to it and getting sort of annoyed at dying to the area that says "area becomes lethal".

With that said the area is considerably easier solo and a lot of the complaints come from people in duo/groups, and having 50% more time solo is uh, a lot. And that isn't mentioned anywhere in game.


Things that can die in a fire, though, in no particular order except 1:

1) Death and Taxes, just because I hate it.
2) Hall of Grandmasters
3) Actually every unique map, who likes doing Mao Kun or Pillars of Arun or that one where the boss runs away from melee characters at the speed of light.
4) The original Haku mission boulders insta murdering you
5) Catarina mission mobs aggroing everything on site and dying and stopping and AAAAAAAAAAAA
6) Vorici missions
7) Lab Trials
8) Not having a button to auto-dump or auto-delete all remove-only tabs

Nah, Whakawhakawhaka is the worst for the reason Elentor said. Pillars is a close second.

Basically, gently caress you proximity shields.

I loving seriously hope they made the map idea's author account flagged 'only runs mao kun, regardless what map he slots into the device, it's mao kun. Conquerors? Mao Kun. Atoll? Mao Kun. MoC? MAO loving KUN YOU DUMB BITCH ENJOY YOUR loving CREATION YOU SICK BASTARD MORON'.

ps i hate pillars of arun too but i ran it on one of my earlier chars so maybe thats why it felt bad, gotta rerun.

I hope the person who bought it is enjoying it as much as I'm enjoying all the exalts!

Funny that I went away for several hours just now after the servers were five minutes away from going down for a patch, then I come back just now and log in only to see that the servers are now five minutes away from shutting down for another patch. Since they broke it so badly they have to roll it back, I guess I'm glad I didn't play at all in the middle. Yikes.

I had a headhunter randomly (I say randomly because I wasn’t expecting it to even be possible) drop on a Fortune Favors the Bold t15 Cells map after doing a ritual.

Then I got a Farruls Fur after turning in a council of cats set.

I should probably buy a lottery ticket.

Playing in the middle was fine:

- Patched
- Uh oh poo poo borked for 10 minutes
- Servers down again
- Patch *rolled back*, those 10 minutes rolled back
- Servers back up pre-patch
- Hours of play
- Servers down now for attempt #2 at the same patch, hopefully with less krangling
