You basically are going to be playing with the wiki open too.
i immediately resigned myself to the fact that my first character was basically going to be a throwaway and i am just doing was sounds cool skill-wise right now. after i play through the game once or twice i will start looking up actual builds and poo poo

I haven't been crashing today but I've been getting...I don't really know how to describe the issue. Frame drops? It runs smoothly for 4 seconds and then stands still for a half-second and continues. Not really even sure if that's me having graphical or network slowdown with the game.

i was getting that occasionally yesterday too. i thought it was network related since it popped up and disappeared seemingly regardless of what was happening on screen

Oh, and the new unique: Zerphi's last breath. This heals you for 800% of your spells' mana cost and I've used it on 2 characters from the moment I could equip it up to like level 65. If you can balance your mana regen it basically makes you unkillable while you cast as the pot lasts for 10 seconds. It's hard as a caster to just sit tight and keep casting though, feels counter-intuitive.
EDIT: they made it much easier to see if it has charges in today's patch too, hooray!
i got one of these last night. too bad it will be of minimal use to my blood magic totem character. looks like its worth about 1c so i could try to sell it but theres a ton of them listed on the trade site. ill probably just keep it for alt leveling

i just hit act 3 cruel and im thinking its about time i started looking for gear i am going to use for awhile and actually get the links i need for my build. i assume the best way to do this is to find a rare/unique i like and then hit it with jews and chromes and fuses until i get what i need? i have a tabula for my 6 link damage but i need two or three 4 links that i dont have yet

No, that's what it LOOKS like you're supposed to do, but it is actually very much not what you should do. Instead you should buy the pieces that are way better than what you're likely to make for yourself for 1c each (if that). If you have no chaos drops so far then maybe you can get someone to take fusings/jeweler's for them. You'd be shocked how cheap people sell things for vs. how much you'll spend trying to make stuff even half as good. Even uniques, look on poe.trade and see what linked ones sell for.

so what the hell do i do with all these chromes ive been saving up? trade up until i get to high tier moneys?

If/when they do end up removing Cruel, it'll be kind of difficult to add 7 new skill points. I imagine they'll either have add new Books of Skill to existing acts, or simply increase the skill points gained from the already existing skill books which would kill the complaint of Piety having too many points associated with her quest. But on that note, what exactly can they do story wise in the next act? Malachai is like a super demon threatening the world already and we've killed a bunch of the lore important characters. Do we just wander past the mountain into the forest and kill some more bandits or some poo poo?

they could always shift malachai back and add more stuff before him

Diamond = $1,000 (he has made multiple uniques so at least 3,000 but I think its closer to 5k)

Ruler = $12,500

Conquerer = $900

Grandmaster = $500

Highgate = $1,100

Ascendant = $440

He is the biggest whale in the poe community by far.

Just got into this game. Can't believe how well made it is for being a free game. Really like how it draws a lot of inspiration from D2 but reworks all the stuff that made it tedious.
completely free and they dont even let you give them money for magic find boosters or other crap. the first night i played i was really hurting for portal scrolls and assumed they wanted me to buy them or something but was pleasantly surprised when i opened up the store to check it out (aside from the prices on those armor cosmetics).

diablo 3 is a good game now but it doesnt feel like d2 did. this one does. it is the diablo 2.5 i always wanted.

i just want to stress for any other new people that this is seriously the biggest quality of life improvement in the game next to premium/currency tabs. i didnt want to use it at first because i was brand new and figured it would be hiding basic crap i would want but its really the opposite. it makes the filtering tighter as you get higher in level so in the early zones it shows everything and in the higher zones it basically tells you what is worth picking up which is super helpful.

me last night: "why do sorcerer boots have a noise when they drop?"
"because they are the one base worth chancing for skyballs"
*proceed to chance a few pairs and end up with a rare that will apparently sell for a few ex at least*

without the filter i would have gone along in my blissful, poor ignorance. i probably owe 200 chromes to the highlighting on those turn-in items alone.
