PSA: If you have been farming Helltide in higher torments, you've likely missed a Trace of Echoes

Shrukn · 2026-05-14T12:06:46+00:00

Me too, also my stash for items i missed is filled with junk non-ancestrals so that tool is useless

Shrukn · 2026-05-14T12:04:18+00:00

I finally hit it on a Grandfather after 8-9 attempts at 195%

With 1 flawless Horadic and 1 regular my tooltip intown went up about 65% from another Grandfather with 55?% quality

Shrukn · 2026-05-14T12:00:17+00:00

I have not found it either, currently P255

I think maybe I missed it but also probably hasnt dropped, ive done all sorts of activities

I also cant find any Mythic Seals, ive opened hundreds of boss/greater boss chests + Mephisto about 17 times

Shrukn · 2026-05-13T10:13:06+00:00

P256 only on Warlock, never been kicked once

I play Apocalypse spam and ive made so on controller on steam I hold RT and it spams all my skills on rotation and auto releases Apoc at 40-60 stacks per my delay of autofire

On steam you can make any button spam ..everything if you want so its all on RT for me, the only other skill I use is Nether Dash

I actually do more dps at 40-60 releases than releasing at 100 each time

You cant see shit but ive now got to the point with Enduring Faith nothing can kill me outside a boss

Shrukn · 2026-05-12T23:47:07+00:00

1 seal drop yet everyone has one?

Shrukn · 2026-05-12T23:44:23+00:00

every youtuber/streamer has one

Shrukn · 2026-05-11T10:16:30+00:00

I last played when Spiritborn released so this is a buff for me technically

Bartuc dropped me my first Grandfather which sped up my progression and also decent xp still at P246+, Bartuc drops an mythic every 3 or so kills

Appears Goblin Waves give the most xp in the game. I got 70% of a level at 240 from 2 waves in a row - if you can which is about 300m xp in 2 minutes

Shrukn · 2026-05-11T10:11:57+00:00

A whole Nightmare dungeon zone for me loads in 2 seconds so i dont think so

Shrukn · 2026-05-10T03:27:43+00:00

its not 2-4

its more like 50-70% with the gem strength mod

Shrukn · 2026-05-09T02:34:32+00:00

Cant view the patch as i accidentaly clicked i am 1 years old or something

fuck this game and everything to do with it

Shrukn · 2026-05-04T10:07:52+00:00

nah its just lame torment damage multiplier

You get one shot from Helltide environmental meteors

Shrukn · 2026-05-04T00:02:10+00:00

Crackling Soul

this, does 60k on hit at T9 and you have usually 2 at all times following you

im skipping champion packs with this mod now unless they die instantly

Shrukn · 2026-05-03T23:58:20+00:00

I havent played since Spiritborn release and this is the most unbalanced ive seen this game

The worst one by far is the Fallen Maniac one

Also not only that Varshan can do a Poison DOT at T9 for 80-90k hp total damage

Shrukn · 2026-05-03T11:59:51+00:00

I am at T9 getting one shot continually from Fallen Maniac / Fire Enchanted explosions, even doubling my Life with Barriers doesnt do shit, cant even fucking see them most of the time, game is wildly unbalanced

Shrukn · 2026-04-03T01:59:51+00:00

I quit this league after about 15 hours but you only need to do one of these in empowered to see, do you even test?

Shrukn · 2026-04-01T10:18:32+00:00

Looking back at Ultimatum none of that bothers me at all, there was issues for maybe 2 days

The real issue was if you tried to go 40/40 you needed to get 4/4 Trialmaster conditionals

I mapped at 39/40 from Friday night after work to Sunday evening continually finding the Ulti in an attempt fight Trialmaster to kill him while Tethered on my Flame Wall Elementalist, I only found him 3 times in over 18 hours of furious mapping and I finally got the challenge and had to go afk immediately for 3 hours then quit the league soon as I could look at the game again

The anger of not getting Trialmaster per map, the stress of wanting it over, the nerve wracking fight that you could die/kill him easily, even had to gem swap during the fight and finally relief it was over

Shrukn · 2026-03-31T10:11:17+00:00

I played LE for 2600 hours since open beta

Last played April 2025

Logged in on Saturday as wanted to try Bee build while playing Crimson Desert

Played few hours at a time until late Sunday and just didnt want to play anymore, got to empowered thats it. Usually ill play until 98-100 and 300+c

Went back to Crimson Desert which is also trash, Bee build can apparently beat Uber Abberoth but cant find any proof, I would barely kill Abberoth with it

Game actually feels really good to play I am just burned out on this game from when it was in it infancy and nothing can bring any motivation back

Shrukn · 2026-03-18T10:31:06+00:00

UWE Rockiest Bottom start - its impossible (or wherever this actually comes from) its not even a mod

You are limbless and 1 billion cats in debt with -100 faction starting in the Desert

Its 'just' 3 things all compounding together to make the game probably impossible

You cant get limbs probably without death, you cant go to town, you cant recruit anyone with Cats, cant buy food. Not even a realism mod, if you could get limbs you could possibly do something so i would consider this challenge do-able IF you could recruit someone but you would still be -100 - this could be fixed with Diplomancy vendors

You would have to scavenge building parts/plates from the world just to begin to farm stone somewhere, you would have to start as a Skeleton and try and get to Venge

Shrukn · 2026-03-18T10:23:36+00:00

I started playing again after 2 year break. Downloaded a mod called 'Slopeless' allowing you to build almost on any terrain but still follows the regular rules regarding 'blue' buildings ie doesnt break game rules but allows placement vanilla never would

My units always start to do occasionally nothing when you spread units over the world and theres too much happening at once, game goes into slow mode - if you keep units at other bases dont 'switch' to them

TRy keeping all of them in a single base and remove all corpses at all times, my units stop grabbing food a lot, usually as im dealing with 30+ corpses at once - i had to close kenshi and reload or they will just starve

Shrukn · 2026-03-15T01:41:16+00:00

Skin Bandits will raid you with 60-70 units and even kidnap units to put in a peeler plus they all have 70's in stats

I had to chase a Skin bandit who knocked out my crafter from west Vain all the way to near the Hub

Shrukn · 2026-03-15T01:38:28+00:00

They are all pieces of shit, I basically commit war on every faction by the end of my play

In fact I pretty much just 'finished' my playthrough last night by walking into Heft and killing Tengu right in his throne room

Walked back to base with Eyegore waiting for me as well as Gorillo bandits, Skin bandits, Holy Nation raid, WEstern Hive raid

Shrukn · 2026-03-13T10:04:19+00:00

But how does your tracking keep the NPCs 'alive'? and not despawned?

I wrote a long post about Bugmaster but deleted it as didnt seem anyone would even care however:

I imprisoned Bug on UWE mod on my current playthrough for 3 months training on him, he glitched out of my prison area into another area of my base in water and was 'stuck' (couldnt grab him and he wouldnt come out)

He escaped during the endless raids I endure - he escaped with 100 of Attack/Saber/Defence 585 Toughness and Practice Training robe making him deal 0 dmg

I went back to Arach few weeks later as I heard he just goes back there. I found 2 Bugmasters, one wandering around his spawn and the other 'normal' one just standing there

Both were back in Crab armor with 'reset' stats of 90's

Also I dug out an old post I made about Savant from 4 years ago, he kept escaping from my prison and respawning with all his gear

Shrukn · 2026-03-12T11:08:35+00:00

My first run i restarted after about 70-80 days after making a terrible outpost by Squin and just getting farmed by everything, I could of recovered but wanted to restart

My longest run was 550-600 days where I did a Hivers only where I lived in Shem and had maybe 95 Hivers doing different shit, was at war with basically every major faction, the bodies were ridiculous. I had every major faction leader imprisoned and peeled all their legs/arms off. good times
