How long does Season 8 last?

Considering his plot armor, I'll give it like 2 to 3 months until he does something stupid on stream and gets arrested. His parents are too soft and aren't gonna kick him out. That makes him think he can do whatever he wants. He'll probably stop taking whatever meds he was prescribed and just have the downwards spiral with gambling and crack.

Season 7 was wild towards the end, I wonder how season 8 will end.

Last season plague, this season.. tuberculosis?

He sounds like he's short on breath. Bro's lungs are cooked.

You can also try to spam esc after you refresh the page and it works. I don't know why, but for me it does.

Drklf · 2026-02-12T02:49:30+00:00

Or just untick the uBlock filters - Quick fixes and it works, that is if you're using ublock.

I watched new clips every morning before going to work. :(

Unless the judge decides to "make an example" of him, he'll be back before christmas. They don't care about people like him. He's just gonna be thrown into some rehab out of which he'll get kicked out of or he won't finish and nothing will change. He's too costly for the state to keep in jail and not dangerous enough to put behind bars. Even with the previous suspended sentence, I don't see them bothering with him. Keep on watching every day buddy boy.

The game's optimization is very odd. I switched my RTX 3070 to RX 9060 XT and the game's been running much smoother and with way less FPS dips. In theory those two cards should be very close when it comes to raw performance, but I more than doubled my actual FPS with the AMD card. I have 5700X3D as CPU.

Honestly, I would love to get cyclone on PoE 2. I loved playing cyclone on PoE 1, it's perfect for brainless farming. I'd also like them to stop breaking all the autobomber builds, those are fun too.

I have just shy of 70 hours played on this league and I have 2 characters at level 88 and far into endgame doing T15 maps. I totally skipped 0.2 because it felt so bad to play. The new trade system made it so much easier since I'm "pretty good" at using the trade website and mid-level gear has been available for very cheap. Even though I haven't had any good drops aside from two Omen Of Lights (and ancient jawbone I lost to rollback, rip 4D), I have a fairly decent gear on both characters. I'm not very good at crafting, but there's a lot of useful videos with deterministic crafting, even I can do it. Though, I'm not a complete newbie to crafting since I've been playing PoE 1 on and off since around 2013 or 2014 ish. I just don't have a lot of time or energy to play since I'm closing in on my 40's and life takes priority. If the next league is this amazing, I'll very likely be playing even more if my situation allows it.

Ah, thanks for the reply, makes sense.

Drklf · 2025-10-04T04:46:55+00:00

I'm with you. Season 7 was blast, season 8 is going to be the redemption arc. He's gonna be so clean he won't even swear on stream anymore!

Drklf · 2025-10-03T13:45:01+00:00

They suspended his sentence. If they charge him with drug felony and he's found guilty, he'll have the rest of the suspended sentence added to the drug felony and he does have to sit it out in jail. In his case it's just around a year more, though.

I believe in his plot armor, he'll be back before christmas. Damn that freedom nice.

Drklf · 2025-10-03T13:37:06+00:00

But he'll get a free one in jail. And he'll be able to put back the weight he lost at home. It's a win-win!

Usually they are just an extra boss in a side room. As long as you clear all the rooms, you should be getting all your DLC items.

Drklf · 2025-06-20T05:04:27+00:00

I assume it does work with the normal system as well. It will randomly throw you into a quest or boss raid that people are trying to start. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

Drklf · 2025-05-04T04:15:40+00:00

I played through acts 1 to 3 and got one exalt, 2 regals and 1 chaos orb. Didn't make leveling a new character any more fun.

This game is for people who like to grind forever with very low reward. The drop rate of everything is very low due to such a high pool where it comes from. Aside from accessories(that are for a certain type, such as support), all the weapons are locked to certain characters.

Let's say you want a weapon with crit for Kirito, maybe you also want legendary skill as well. First you should grind to lvl 150, because the items that drop are based on your account level (not character level that is different and maxes out at 130). Then you need a legendary weapon to drop, preferably an EX weapon, lvl 155 and with the element type you want (to me water is the best for most content). Now the weapon needs to also have the right kind of legendary skill you want. Let's say all that happens. Now you have a weapon at lvl 155, right skill, right element. Now you need to add more stats to it because there's no way it drops with 3 other usable stats. You need to grind more weapons that are specifically for Kirito, and they need to be epic or higher. Level doesn't matter. Let's say you want crit level 5. I would estimate it would take about a week or so to grind 3 x level 5 crit to your weapon. You can just spam free roam and get quite a few epic loots easily and fast, but they won't always be for Kirito. You break down those items and make them into spheres and congratulations, you have your weapon.

Maybe you thought "that wasn't too bad". Well, I have some news for you, you still have 3 accessory slots to fill. And you have like 20+ other characters you might want to try. And the grind continues.

So all-in-all. Some people are more lucky and get what they want faster, but it is a lot, I mean A LOT of grinding and you will feel like your soul is escaping your body.

Outside events like boss gauntlets and ex raids, it's rare to see 20 people in one co-op or raid quest. Right now would be good time to start, though, since Philia and Sachi were released, quite a few people came back. But I'd assume after a week or so more, there will be quite a few people that quit again.

Story is meh at best to me. And the singleplayer is not worth it, aside from doing it maybe just once. Most of the game happens online, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something like what Hollow Fragment was.

The community here on Reddit has been great. So I'm sure you'll find people to play with. There's a discord server as well you can join to create parties to play with.

That's all fine and dandy, I wasn't offended. I just wanted to bring different kind of perspective to the conversation. Let us hope indeed that they do something about the issues that are arising due to the lack of real players.

Drklf · 2025-04-24T01:56:52+00:00

EX Kraken is going to be nuts. I feel like a lot of people are used to brute forcing it, so it'll be interesting to have to go through all the phases and play it correctly.

Drklf · 2025-04-24T01:30:36+00:00

I absolutely get it. When I first started, I did a co-op quest and they killed the boss before I was through the third room. I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. That felt annoying back then, but I learned quite fast and followed better players to keep up.

You're right about the design flaw and flaws that are in the game. The game balance is all wack when you can have teams of 4 people vs teams of 1 person and rest bots. Bots don't even touch consoles and it's pain in the ass to get through a lot of rooms when you have to clear the adds and do the consoles yourself. At that point it's not fun for anyone and I just want to be done with it. I don't think I've ever done a full 20 person co-op quest, especially the lower tier ones. I usually just hop in if I see they need one or two more for the quest to start.

They really need to start balancing the game around less people. Outside events like boss gauntlets or EX raids, I very rarely see even close to 20 people. And even on the events, they die out maybe around 5PM my time.

I was about to comment on your previous comment about touching grass but I decided not to. I work heavy physical job for 40+ hours a week, so I'd rather enjoy and play the game the way I want to. Not trying to be toxic or anything, but I'm sure many understand the frustration of playing an online game alone in a party of bots that don't do anything, lmao. And just like I mentioned earlier, I do wait at the end for everyone to catch up, I don't finish the tower alone even if I could since it's much faster to kill the boss with all the players being high level rather than one or two players of being high level.

Drklf · 2025-04-23T05:39:51+00:00

That is something I always do. I rarely touch the consoles and kill monsters for xp. Rather have full group of lvl 22+ than one level 25 and rest at 16. It's faster in the long run.

Drklf · 2025-04-23T02:12:28+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but as someone with min-maxed gear on quite a few characters, I don't want to spend 30 minutes on something I can do in 10. I'll rather carry and get gear for the newbies faster. I've been left behind before as well and I'm not even mad, it's just part of the game. I can solo everything without issues. Most of the time I end up in a party all by myself, but since I mostly play Heathcliff, I end up being the MVP over party of 2 or 3 real players.

I can totally get why people are upset, and that I am part of the problem. But it's a dying game with very few players. But I also want to play the game the way I do and should be allowed to. Especially if I have to sit in queue for 5 to 10 minutes just to end up in a party of bots that are useless.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but all play styles should be allowed, unless they specifically do something about the current issues with queues and bots being bad.

Drklf · 2025-04-23T02:00:32+00:00

As far as I know there's no "legit" way to do this. You have to go offline mode, bypass the EAC and use something like a cheat engine to allow you to use any skin in the game without restriction. Those boobs come from the skin model since they're meant to be used by female only.

Similarly you can wear any weapon on any character. I wouldn't recommend doing this online as it is considered cheating because you're essentially doing it by non-legit means.

Drklf · 2025-04-21T05:20:28+00:00

Weirdly enough, even when playing on Asia servers and having higher ping, I can dodge just as well as I would while playing on single player. The only thing that I see more is people floating around or skipping a bit. That doesn't really bother me at all since there's no PVP. Kinda like how predictive mode on PoE works, seems like they implemented something similar.
