Yolomon Wayne posted:what about flame thrower traps for delve? Do arc totems instead  So, I actually just started playing PoE in earnest during this league (I tried it once ~3 years ago and it didn't stick) and I've generally been doing HC but gently caress man I'm probably not going to do that for Delve. I've always liked the idea of a real consequence for messing up, but it's one thing if you rip on maps because you can get back there relatively quickly and you'll have accrued currency to get back there, but I would hate to get really far into the mines and then lose a character. That seems like potentially way too much time lost. They did mention the "catch up" mechanics in that FAQ post so I'll be curious to see what that looks like, and that may make me swap back to HC.

Dahbadu posted:1. Difficulty spikes and/or death out of nowhere. Like, you build a character with multiple defense layers, and you feel completely safe and you're smashing through content, and then boom, out of nowhere you're dead. I know some of these situations can be avoided if I git gud, but I can't be the only person with this problem, right? quote:2. Re-coloring sockets. I know this is ingrained into the economy, but I dislike it. Getting certain color combinations or trying out different skill gem combinations, especially in "off-color" gear, can be prohibitively expensive. I wish they'd make this more forgiving. quote:3. On-character inventory space. I wish they'd double on-character inventory space.

Awesome! posted:from now on the only uniques im putting in there are bitterdreams I'll never understand why they did what they did with vendoring Bitterdream. Or, specifically, I will never understand why they did it with ONLY Bitterdream. It would be kind of cool to have an option of vendoring things that have "Supported by X" give you the gem for X, maybe only at one specific vendor so as not to be really annoying. But to only do it for one item is just ... perplexing.

Ihmemies posted:JFc these mines have lots of loot. Just the physical amount of armors and poo poo on ground is staggering.. I honestly thought Delve introduced a bug in the game where I couldn't drop things out of my inventory at the end of some delve runs. Turns out there was literally so much poo poo on the ground there was no place for it to go (of course like 95% of it is filtered out, though my screen is still chock full of stuff to pick up), so if I just ran back up the tunnel a few feet I could drop stuff quite easily.

The Locator posted:Before this league I have never once had a natural 6L drop. This league on my starter character around depth 75 in a delve, I had 3 6L's drop inside of an hour. They were all completely garbage, but they were 6L. I've of course never seen one since on my 2nd character and will never see one again. Must have gotten a good seed  (and for a smaller bit of anecdotal evidence, I've probably got a few hundred hours of play and I've had like 8-10 exalt drops and 0 6L drops that weren't Tabulas)

I really really really wish you could queue up actions in this game. When I first started playing I was surprised it wasn't an option given the delay for some animations, but I've numbed myself to its absence I guess. Making things instant cast in this last go-round of patches helps but queuing would be so nice.

So I guess Incursion is just back as-is then? Though I suppose she probably won't be in every area like she was during the league, which makes it kind of .. awkward. If there's a way to get Incursions-on-Demand that'd be neat, the Guatelitzi prefix was so nice I wants it.

Every day Ray's mail's getting sent back to me. Ray Calast, Ray Calast, I look in the mail, this whole box is Ray Calast! So I say to myself I gotta find this guy. I gotta go up to his hideout, I gotta put his mail in the guy's goddamn hands! Otherwise he's never gonna get it, it's gonna keep coming back down here. So I go up to Ray's office and what do I find out, exile, what do I find out? There is no Ray Calast. The man does not exist, okay? So I decided, ohh poo poo, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Ray Calast, you gotta be kidding me, I got boxes full of Ray! All right, so I start marching my way down to Nessa in H.R. and I knock on her door and I say, "Neeesssa, Neeesa! I gotta talk to you about Ray!" And when I open the door, what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office. There is no Nessa in H.R. Exile, half the employees in this building have been made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town.

Zenithe posted:I missed incursion and bestiary, what's the go there? Incursion was basically: - find Alva and she invites you into an "incursion" inside a room in an ancient temple where you can murder mobs to get keys to open up pathways between the rooms, and also murder one of the two architects to determine what kind of room it is (or upgrade the existing room) - many/most of the rooms affected the modifiers of the ancient temple itself (makes pack size bigger, adds tempests, ups monster move/attack speed, etc.) - higher tier rooms contain more/better loot and... - several top tier rooms (level 3, so upgraded twice) contained temple-specific "devices" that allowed you to do things with items to modify them Rinse and repeat 11 times until your temple is fully built and then you go visit the temple and clear all the rooms. At the apex (peak) there's a unique boss that sometimes drops decent stuff. And all this is happening with time travel by the way because it's in the past

Salt Fish posted:I was reading about leagues and I can't believe all this Delve content is temporary Also just so you know, since it's unclear that you do ... there are only two permanent leagues: Standard and Hardcore (okay, and also their Solo Self-Found (SSF) counterparts, so four permanent leagues) Every other league is temporary for a period of time only, and any content specific to that league goes away after that time period. Delve is the current league and it will go away on December 4th, and when that happens your stuff (characters and stash) will get migrated into the appropriate permanent league (Delve HC -> Hardcore, Delve Standard -> Standard). When Betrayal starts, it will be time-boxed as well, and when the league is over it will also go to the relevant permanent league. Its why you hear things like "league starter", they're builds that you can do without a boatload of currency to buy the uniques/rares that make the build really work. The economy of a league is very interesting in the first week or two because there are some major dips and rises as needs fluctuate and the currency/goods pool expands.

Papercut posted:Speaking of, do people even bother collecting essences? Last season I meticulously harvested them and traded them up to shrieking/deafening. In the end though I probably made like 50c total selling them after all that inventory management. I use the low level ones on white two-stone rings early in the league to just try and land on something good, and then if they all suck I do the Prismatic Ring recipe (one of each of the three rare two-stones = one unID'd rare prismatic). Other than that yeah I will grab them just because the essence tab is so good and easy and they upgrade nicely.

I remember at some point there was mention of a Poet's Pen specific divination card, is that possibly in this release? I'd love to do a build with them but they're a little rich for me usually, and I imagine having a div card that will net them for you should drive the price down at least a little (depending on how rare the card drop is).

The crawler will stop if you're far enough away from it but that means you have to be in the darkness (unless I guess you have light radius way way way overbuffed for the depth you're at). But if you go diving down a branch mine during the initial crawl, the crawler will stop just outside the branch basically.

Arrhythmia posted:What's the best way to grind to 90 in hardcore? So far I've been running white magic maps that I alt away any +damage mods on but these last three levels are looking like they'll be a slog. This probably mixed with Delves that you are comfortable doing. Just don't go too deep and be mindful of area mods and/or particular node boss fights that might be difficult for you.

Does 8k ES CI make you tankier than Pyromanic + Tinkerskin with 6k life though? There's also a trap build that uses Eldritch Battery as well, this build uses lightning trap but I don't think there's any reason you couldn't just use arc. Pretty much requires a Tinkerskin but those aren't that bad these days in terms of price. A guildmate of mine ran a variant of this with Fire Traps instead in Hardcore during Incursion league and got to 89 I think before he ripped.

MMF Freeway posted:Well pyromaniac still works with ES if you have ZO so probably. I had a CI trapper in incursion and it felt quite safe. Ah yeah forgot about Zealot's Oath, I haven't done much with CI to be honest. Though I did first learn about Zealot's Oath on accident when I used that unique shield that has it as a passive if you haven't been hit recently, just as a leveling shield. That was interesting.

They really should put them in the fragment tab because it's kind of a meh tab as it is. Of the specialized tabs, I think it's the least useful (if the essence tab didn't have the upgrade button though it'd be that one).

I wonder if you could tweak SSF to have slightly different rules to make it less obviously bad for playing certain builds. Like, if you were to: - up the odds on Orbs of Chance to make uniques and rares - have vendors/masters randomly sell certain uniques (like ones that are rare drops and don't have other paths to get like prophecies/div cards) - tweak divination card drop rates and/or prophecy drop rates - maybe even add an SSF-specific node in Delve that allows you to get unique gear you could make SSF pretty viable, though I don't know if they really want to encourage people to play SSF as much. If the group of folks I play with decides to take a league off at some point and I don't want to I might play SSF just to go through the same trial experience everyone else seems to do, though.

Vasudus posted:If you tweak drop rates there's no safeguards to prevent you from just putting it on a mule and migrating that character over to a trade league. You would have to disable that feature which is a big perk of SSF; if you get tired of the SSF gimmick you can migrate to trade league without issue.
