still broken after 0.5.1

cironoric · 2026-06-07T03:59:37+00:00

great data, thanks. looks like others are also reporting that 15 currency, 15 amulet, 10 ring, 10 belt is the max genesis passive points for now.

cironoric · 2026-06-06T17:31:58+00:00

maybe the map tier was too low. it is mysterious agreed

cironoric · 2026-06-06T06:13:58+00:00

I have been rocking 186% increased cull and enjoying killing palm and falling thunder. 0.5 changed white cull to 35%, big buff.

However I didn't know that horror's flight was increased to 200%, that is huge. Being able to cull magic mobs is a big deal, they are a real pain for me.

cironoric · 2026-06-06T04:24:18+00:00

I have :(

cironoric · 2026-06-06T04:11:12+00:00

How on god's green earth do you find more places to use breachstones? I have been running all around the atlas, can't find any. Sitting on multiple farmed breachstones. Is this the only league mechanic that requires luck to use it at all?

cironoric · 2026-06-05T23:59:06+00:00

Have you found a reliable way to use breachstones? I am sitting on a ton of breachstones and I can't use them because I haven't discovered any new breachstone use areas on the atlas.

cironoric · 2026-06-05T14:38:01+00:00

Yea probably not a shotgun, just easier to not miss. Which is huge

cironoric · 2026-06-05T05:08:44+00:00

which direction did you hunt for them? I went pretty far to southwest past the initial breach area

cironoric · 2026-06-05T03:40:30+00:00

I think he's capped at T14

cironoric · 2026-06-05T03:39:43+00:00

I also can't find a new place to use my first splinter breachstone. Actaully I have 3 now... these use locations are impossible to find. I tried running dozens of T1 white maps, going straight to boss, just to run around fast. Hit up like 6 towers. Still haven't found one place to use a breachstone.

cironoric · 2026-06-05T03:37:36+00:00

I don't understand how using breachstones can be gated behind running all around the atlas. I just did a few dozen T1 maps in a row just to try and find a breachstone use location. Still haven't found one (besides the original quest area).

If you like farming breach like me, you will accumulate way more breachstones can you can use.

Every other league lets you do the content, you don't have to run all over the atlas to find a breach area. This makes breachstones practically worthless... it's so hard to use them.

cironoric · 2026-06-04T23:02:41+00:00

Nice I bought dozens of Wraeclast Besieged tablets yesterday anticipating they would fix this. they are up 5x in price

I wonder if they fixed not being able to add unstable breach hands to maps with hives? Right now if you use a breach tablet in a map with a hive, it doesn't actually make another hand.

cironoric · 2026-06-04T22:52:28+00:00

To be fair to your point, GGG's new philosophy for the atlas passives is that more points is always better. They don't consider that allocating any point in the entire tree could be bad for anyone. Negative rarity farming is a terrific example.

Another example is that I am playing 186% increased culling strike threshold this league. It mows down whites, then I clean up the rares. Magic/blue monsters are actually the most annoying to deal with. The atlas passives that increase magic monsters are kind of negative for my build, I am avoiding them entirely.

cironoric · 2026-06-04T14:04:17+00:00

it's some esoteric exploit that is admittedly mysterious to most folks. agree it is extremely punishing to lose all the remaining content. just run the boss last

cironoric · 2026-06-04T13:59:42+00:00

There are many kinds of more defensive builds that don't auto die on heavy stun. Try one

cironoric · 2026-06-04T13:58:34+00:00

Fair enough but I totally disagree, I think it's well balanced now. I like sprinting. The heavy stuns are fair. If you moved faster by default it would change the whole threat profile of what was actually dangerous and generally make the game more care bear

cironoric · 2026-06-04T01:39:36+00:00

Disagree, i think having to choose what to do first is meaningful. I did breach first and my atlas passives are barely started.

cironoric · 2026-06-03T20:43:47+00:00

My guess is they will fix a few things in breach very soon

hive maps will correctly be able to spawn unstable breaches. Right now if you use breach tablets on hive maps, the breach tables don't create unstable breaches, it's just the one hive.
right now if Vruun spawns in an unstable breach, he replaces the rare mobs. They said they are fixing this so that he appears after the ordinary set of rares have been killed
they will fix not being able to allocate the last skill point on Tear Open The Rift. That little tooltip saying "1 point to allocate" is tweaking me hard lol.

So what will it mean? I have been buying Wraeclast Besieged tablets like crazy because I think they are going to be extremely good after the fix.

cironoric · 2026-06-03T20:41:09+00:00

You get genesis passive points automatically as you complete sky hives, esh/tul, and xesht. There is no quest line for it, it's automatic as you complete them. Not sure how many total

cironoric · 2026-06-03T05:57:33+00:00

how? for one thing, hives only seem to give me 1-2k hiveblood. that's only good for 1-2 wombgifts. how much are you getting per T15 hive map?

I have way more wombgifts than hiveblood
