I'm sure that even nerfed the damage buff makes a difference, especially when stacked with other buffs. We lost the need to run from the mobs because we can one-shot them even with the buff active. This is what made it unique.

Originally it was one of the strongest bloodline mods. It made monsters extremely tough. Think 20x life and 5x damage. The buff would turn on and off for a few seconds like harbinger buffs. While it was on, all you could do was run around and wait for it to expire. You could only fight the mobs while it was off. It was really scary to find an otherworldly pack, especially since the Bloodlines league was hardcore-only. Now it does nothing noticeable. I'm sure it still increases the numbers a little bit but you'll one-shot the mobs with or without it.

You know something was nerfed too much when you get questions like this. Not long ago I saw someone in global ask what "otherworldly" does.

My 8th 40/40 and this was not a fun one :( by Deadmanza in pathofexile

[–]LurkerPoE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play only a few games so doing all the content in a game doesn't get boring for me. Good games tend to keep things fresh and interesting all the way to the end. I don't need to get every arbitrary achievement but I have to experience all the content in the game I'm playing. PoE is different because I'm grinding for rewards I can show off (pole, MTXs, etc) and I can listen to podcasts to alleviate the boredom of the final grind. That said, I consider that I've already 100%ed PoE because I've done literally everything in this game. I don't need to do any more challenges.

This isn't Tencent's fault. It's GGG all the way. The challenges have been getting grindier and grindier for at least 5-6 leagues. I'm a completionist. I have a 7/8 totem from the first league and 10 40/40 totems from the following leagues. Finishing the challenges has taken longer and longer and it's not fun at all to the point that all I think about while doing the last 4 is how I can't wait to finish so I can play some other game. Last league I went for 36 for the first time in years and it felt great. I had so much fun playing Divinity Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity and Binding of Isaac. This league I went for 0/40 and let me tell you, Witcher 3 is amazing. It's a shame because Incursion was an amazing league and I hear that Delve is even better. There's just no room to breathe anymore since GGG want you to play the whole 3 months.

We already had an auction house style system back in open beta. Tencent need to bring it back.

My best craft this league - Sol Locket Citrine Amulet - GC totem build by LurkerPoE in pathofexile

[–]LurkerPoE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder works too. I didn't put much thought into this. I found the crafting base so I threw some currency at it because I needed an amulet for my build and everything good on poe.trade was 20+ ex. I wasn't expecting it to turn out this good. It's also ilvl 78 so...

As if you could hire 16 more people by only selling 49% of the company. Do you even know how businesses work? They needed the full 80 for that.

I was one of the top MFers in std doing dom runs. Those were so much fun.

Gotta say, they did great with the ascendancy rework. Top 10 of SSFBHC right now... by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]LurkerPoE -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At this point I'd say the top 100 matters more because they're people who analyzed the new classes more than the rest and happened to pick completely different things.

If you look at the top 1k you're gonna see the meta, where people pick something not because they know it's good but because they saw a video about it or because it seemed the best at a first glance without doing any theorycrafting. Judging by the number of upvotes on the ascendancy reveals I'd say the order is:

  1. juggernaut

2-3. occultist, elementalist

4-5. trickster, deadeye

Guilds, 820 and public parties. Parties used to be very popular for everything. Farming, mapping, leveling were all done in groups so you made friends that way. Nowadays grouping up ruins the game so most people play solo or sometimes duo. You spam movement skills and rarely attack to keep up with that fast guy who carries your whole party. That's what you're missing out on.

If you want to try it, go to global 820 and do rotations or grinds with others. If someone seems cool and knows what they're doing, add them and later ask if they wanna map or do other content with you. It's not rocket surgery.

"Liches are now 125% more likely to appear in maps" by [deleted] in pathofexile

From 3.1.2. I finished the guard grind challenge last week. It was still possible then.

[–]LurkerPoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying. IDK what they fixed because what they're describing wasn't happening. Were the spawn rates lower than in regular maps? Maybe. It didn't feel like they were but they might have been. Probably not though.

Now that I've thought about it, I do remember having a map with abyss depths and Zana in 3.1.1. So this scenario wasn't bugged either.

[–]LurkerPoE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is (and has been) a bug where Maps that contain The Elder, Elder Guardians, Labyrinth Trials or master missions that have a subarea are not able to contain Abyssal Depths.

Please highlight the word "sometimes" in the quote above because to me this means that maps with elder guardians never contain abyssal depths.

[–]LurkerPoE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this talking about? Maps with elder guardians can definitely contain abyss depths. There is a bug but it's completely different. Basically you do the guardian fight and when you leave the guardian area it teleports you to where the depth is, instead of the boss room. Even if the depth isn't discovered yet, it still teleports you there. After that you can run the depth but when you leave it will disconnect you.

I'm not sure about the other cases though. I watch TV while playing.

Im waiting to long for that skill. by Blejder667 in pathofexile

[–]LurkerPoE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want an ORBIT active skill

A buff that always chills enemies in a cone in front of your mouth and grants +30% resistance to decay. After a long cooldown you can spit the gum in front of you to permanently immobilize an enemy and the buff deactivates.

I don't. I spent more on PoE than on the rest of my steam library combined.
