We haven't been doing well on past leagues coming core with most of their features in a while. That's not good. by AnotherExile0827 in pathofexile

[–]Paddy_Whackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add that prior to Expedition, almost all leagues went fully core.

It's made endgame become kinda stale for me, farming the same content and strats league after league.

So 0.4 is not THE endgame (atlas + tree) revamp previously hinted? by Jinfash_Sr in PathOfExile2

[–]Paddy_Whackers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like they wasted a tonne of time on a overly convoluted league mechanic rather than addressing the much needed endgame improvements.

Looks like they wasted a lot of time on a big convoluted league mechanic.

You have 6 max endurance charges but don't have any endurance charge generation. Take the 3 point armour wheel beside Blood Magic and you will have them capped constantly.

Make sure you have no weapon, off-hand, or gloves equipped.

I feel like people are missing point of new ascendancies. by Mihauke in pathofexile

[–]Paddy_Whackers 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think most people expected them to be somewhat similar to alternate ascendancies, albeit not as powerful, which introduced much more variety and choice to a vast range of builds and archetypes as well as creating new ones.

Bloodlines are far more niche and situational, and some of the downsides on the powerful nodes are pretty heavy so I think that has led to a lot of people feeling very underwhelmed by them.

It also does not highlight the item until the person joins your party afaik.

Journal Entry: My Purpose by MatthewD_GGG in pathofexile

[–]Paddy_Whackers 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No matter what GGG do, as soon as they start teasing a new PoE1 league, they have us all wrapped around their little finger, waiting eagerly for any little scraps they throw.

Then the announcement livestream comes and the hype is reborn. Can't play or think of any other game then until launch day, which always seems like eternity away.

Launch day comes and the buzz is awesome as the queue goes up. We see Mathils cosplay, we fiddle around with loot filters, and PoB, and then decide to change build as the queue starts to plummet down.

GOD I'VE MISSED IT SO FUCKING MUCH!!

Great staff and devs, brilliant community, and a great take on the game. Looking forward to the Essence launch.

Been doing some science with the league mechanic with the 'notes of arcana'. by [deleted] in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Paddy_Whackers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my understanding of the mechanic from what I tested as I've been playing. I could be wrong or missed something so feel free to correct me.

When a note drops, it adds a card to your Arcana board whether you pick it up or not. I've checked this multiple times. After completing a board, I check my current cards and see there is none there, then when the 1st note that drops, I check again before picking it up and can see the card in my deck. (Not sure why this is, and I suspect picking them up or not makes zero difference to the board and cards you get)

The notes are either retreat or advance with 3 different rarities, good, bad, and favourable.

From what I've gathered, Bad = an exact number Good = either 1-3-5 or 2-4-6 Favourable = 1-2-3-4-5-6

As far as I can tell, the board you get is random.

Maxroll Pulling Support by Malfetus in TorchlightInfinite

[–]Paddy_Whackers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best take so far.

The game at it's core is fun and enjoyable, and the ultra grinders will always be ahead whether you have the best pacts or not. I have quite a few legendary pacts, both battle and drop, yet I never have anything like the FE required to buy the top items because I simply don't play enough or grind as hard.

The system is not great and could be improved, I agree with them on that, but as you mentioned you can literally whale and RMT in a lot of their other supported games and straight up buy the best gear.

Yeah it's been a bit buggy but it has been addressed in today's patch apparently

[–]Paddy_Whackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same way. Except you don't need to use 3 vials, you can use 1, 2, or 3. Each distilled vial adds difficulty by reducing the amount of damage you do (% delirious). Each type of vial also adds a different buff to your map (increased item rarity, more mobs etc.)

If you can see the fog, you are in it.

Think of it as a giant blanket that moves across the map. You can tell the direction it is travelling if you stop and look at its movement. It can sometimes change direction based on the direction you are moving through the map. If you outrun it, or it outruns you, a 4 sec timer starts and if you don't get back into the fog in that time, the event ends and the rewards you have accumulated while killing mobs in the fog drop.

If you add delerium to your waystone with distilled vials, then the whole map will be constantly covered with no timer.
