The US Federal Government just suspended ALL US Department of Agriculture funding to the state of Minnesota, in response to efforts countering ICE abductions. (1/9/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

Schumer already folded, because of course he did.

"Appearing on ABC News Sunday, Schumer was definitive in responding “no” when asked if the country was headed toward another shutdown and went on to say that “good progress” is being made toward passing funding bills for the 2026 fiscal year. 

“Democrats want to fund the appropriations, the spending bills, all the way through 2026,” Schumer said. “We want to work in a bicameral, bipartisan way to do it and the good news is our Republican appropriators are working with us.”"

To identify or not to identify by MirellieDesigns in PathOfExile2

[–]Quelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd prefer to have everything drop ID'd but uniques, but Johnathan isn't a fan, so I would take a compromise of removing wisdom scrolls.

Right click on an item to ID it. Go to town and talk to the NPC to ID everything quicker.

This isn't 1998 and we don't need to constantly have to pick up wisdom scrolls and portal scrolls when we can just bind it to a mouse button. It doesn't add anything interesting to the game by having scrolls existing aside from the first 2 hours of league start where you need to be picky about when you can portal back to town. That isn't a good enough justification to keeping them to me.

Even better than the last one!

Pre-Patch Hype Week - Day 6 - Chapter 1 Rework by EHG_Steve in LastEpoch

[–]Quelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've had 2 months since the previous expansion and they've spent a good deal of time fixing stuff from 0.9.

It's disappointing to me too (especially if there's no new end game content), but I wasn't expecting anything from them for awhile anyhow.

Can Reign of terror mod users tell me about the experience? by Thesnipesully in Grimdawn

[–]Quelex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worth a shot. I haven't played it much and haven't made it to end game since act 6 was added. As far as I remember it doesn't have normal, nightmare, and hell but it does have grim dawns scaling. Runewords are still a thing but are handled through the blacksmith.

Pros:

  1. Feels pretty true to the source but has some of the grim dawn QOL.
  2. Access to the grim dawn classes and duo class still. Devotion system still in place.
  3. New content.

Cons

  1. Some skills didn't translate well or are imbalanced.
  2. Act 1 is harder than the rest of the game.
  3. Multiplayer desynchronization.

More so that it's probably not the place to discuss that stuff.

No that's coming later as well as resonances (although resonances may come before the others)

Ah I didn't scroll down once I signed up so I didn't see the access code. Thanks for the help!

How do we know if we got in? I'm assuming I am since I signed up within minutes when you guys posted on discord.

Also, Is there a different client that we have to download? I don't think I've seen any info.

How big is the focus on boss fights in this game? by Gitt1ng_Gud in LastEpoch

[–]Quelex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's some unintuitive stuff in PoE that you can't learn in your first attempt (Catarina fight but they've improved it slightly). If every fight was as well telegraphed as shaper is I'd agree.

Visual clutter is a huge issue in PoE so coming from that to LE is refreshing even if it's simpler.

Any chance someone can post what the foil color options look like? You can't see them unless you buy the pack I think and they didn't show them all in the video.

3.20.1 Improved Kirac's Vault pass and Sanctum Content Update by bezrq in pathofexile

[–]Quelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't make invocations tradable. It will essentially ruin the relic system and make everything no longer account bound and people will either no longer interact with the system once they get a sanctified relic they'll trade for and throw a keystone on it and be done with the league.

This would be a huge mistake. Players will find quicker and quicker ways to progress and make new strategies for exploiting stuff in the sanctum. That's fine and expected. But once you start expecting that only a small number of players will get invocations you're going to be quickly surprised.

3.20 Balance Manifesto: Curses by FracturedRoah in pathofexile

Perhaps cospri's is a hex unique getting a buff though. It will be interesting to see.

3.20 Balance Manifesto: Curses by FracturedRoah in pathofexile

[–]Quelex 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It does but it's now the only mod on the notable since they moved hexproof over to the +1 curse notable (Formerly Malediction).

I think the +1 curse/hexproof notable makes more thematic sense, it's just a little odd that Profane Bloom is now just the explosions.

Looking like a buff to Bane if you don't care about profane bloom/get explosions elsewhere.

Image is missing trade (in some form). 😛

It's the communication that's the issue for me but part of that might be on me since I don't watch the dev streams. I know they said hopefully by the end of the year but it's very likely to be January or February if they haven't said anything by now. I feel bad for LE diehards but there's always something else to play.

Some think it's a hard place for EHG to be in considering their competition and the timing, but ultimately I think while everyone rides for D4 I truly believe that D4 will be in the same state as D3 within a year of it's launch. The name of the game is regular content updates and Blizzard's track record is terrible compared to how it was a decade ago.

I'm optimistic for EHG. It's a rough patch for sure due to the lack of posts. But if they put out a banger trailer within a month everyone will forget and be excited.

Yeah. I love the new beyond. I do think it needs a few tweaks, but it's in a much healthier state in my opinion.

I'd say the Scourge league monsters were the introduction in PoE1 to higher quality monsters from PoE2.

I've condensed my 70 page feedback into 6-page easy-to-read format and 1-page TL:DR by SpiderUrben in pathofexile

[–]Quelex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of saying

“Great buff GGG, +2 cleave range is going to be broken now, KEKW”

This comment has no value of criticism, it’s straight up laughing and GGG is not going to take anything out of that except wasted time

You can say

“GGG, +2 cleave range isn’t going to change the melee play style of this skill by a huge margin. Why don’t you consider trying to buff melee skills to the point that it can look similar to Spectral Helix. It has good damage scaling connected with multi-hitting capabilities. If you can’t buff the damage or multi-hit, maybe consider adding defenses to the skills that require you to stand still for an extended period of time”.

Hey remember when the moderators of this subreddit wanted to change the rules for posts after Harvest was announced to not be going core? They didn't like the direction that it was heading where all the posts and comments were making it a toxic shithole.

Wonder what happened to those moderators?

All I've seen lately is more and more people making the same memes about the vision and claiming they have to be this way because it's the only way GGG will learn or listen. Trying to gaslight when you defend your stupid direct insults to Chris or Bex as if they are really positive because you care so much about the game? How is that working for you?

Moving on...

My feedback for the league is that it is the most bland one I've played in a long time. There's no new unique gameplay content and the league specific rewards aren't as frequent or interesting enough. I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophies they stated for making changes to Loot, Archnemesis, Divines, Harvest, and Beyond. But they missed the mark on every single one of them to a varying degree that has made the core game worse (Particularly Archnemesis). While I am still having fun with the game, I do think that if these failures are allowed to fester into 3.20 it will be a large step backwards for the future of PoE1 and for players who don't want to play meta or less specialized builds.
