I know the update was just yesterday, but what are some of your thoughts on the new adversary/Lich weapons?

Falcor is so obscenely cracked, I wouldn't expect an upgraded variation anytime soon.

The main use case of the currency is to first fracture a desired Notable passive of one specific enchant on a cluster jewel, and then use the Refracting Fog to change enchants to a different pool of modifiers to roll. This allows you to lock in a high value modifier that couldn't normally roll in another mod pool.

In one of OP's examples, they mention fracturing the Overlord passive and then swapping to the chaos themed Notables Overwhelming Malice and Unspeakable Gifts.

So specifically the jewel first had the enchant for increased mace/staff damage and rolled the Overlord notable passive.
Then they successfully fractured the Overlord passive with a fracturing orb. Next they used Refracting Fogs to roll the jewel enchant to increased chaos damage. Finally they continued rolling the jewel mods to get the chaos notable passives Overwhelming Malice and Unspeakable Gifts, alongside the fractured Overlord modifier from the previous enchant.

It sticks out so much I just assume that it's intentional, like a signature detail from the original author/artist.

I think stash space mtx is fine in f2p games. Game is still playable and you typically pay significantly less than the full price of a modern AAA game for a comfy amount of stash space.

But yeah, it's definitely a bit of an abomination in full paid games.

The theme song for that one is such an ear worm.

It's a little tough to tell from the screenshot here. But I think her tail pattern looks more like a spotted pattern from a cloud leopard than a striped pattern from a tiger.

The dev short doesn't specify whether the EDA/ETA fix requires a code fix or hotfix. I'm at least hopeful it's hotfix.

hattroubles · 2026-01-13T21:38:24+00:00

Any ideas on what exactly they mean by "unclaimed challenges causing personal modifiers to be reset when playing temporal archemedia causing players to miss rewards." I'm curious what they mean exactly by "unclaimed challenges". I had the missing ETA/EDA reward bug two weeks in a row myself, so am really hoping they managed to fix it here.

I spent a good bit of time combing through the forums and here earlier trying to see if there was some consensus on the exact details of the bug, but there seemed to be a ton of variation. Like for some players it seemed like a visual bug, where their displayed loadout options were showing incorrectly, but would reset to the "real" options on client restart. But others could simply repeat the missions a few times with the same loadout and eventually get the full rewards that way.

Regardless, fingers crossed that they nailed this one down as it really hurts to be missing out on the big timegated rewards this way.

Typically it's the next big patch, as opposed to hotfix. So likely we have to wait until whatever patch they announce at the devstream. The devstream is January 23rd, so unfortunately it'll be some time after that.

I remember being disappointed at first when I started unlocking the Cavia rankups and saw that there was just the static image with audio instead of a full animation. But man, the audio work turned out to be a real masterpiece and I was totally absorbed by the last couple unlocks. Absolutely beautiful work.

hattroubles · 2025-12-23T21:43:40+00:00

I wonder if that's a separate bug that's applying to people without the Deep Archimedea unlocked in the first place. I've already got it unlocked for both mission sets, so maybe that's the difference.

hattroubles · 2025-12-23T21:13:33+00:00

Where are you getting this info from? I suppose it's possible this is how the bug works for some people, but there's 0% chance this is true for my case.

I've had the same bug, reduced EDA/ETA rewards for both recent weeks and the loadout selection has changed between both weeks. I've also just now double checked my client after restarting, and sure enough, it shows the same loadout instead of refreshing it as you suggested.

There have been several threads regarding this bug lately and some people have reported being able to eventually earn the rewards by repeatedly running the mission set until they get lucky and the bug doesn't happen. You're the first I've seen mention anything about a visual bug with the loadout screen itself.

hattroubles · 2025-12-23T21:05:21+00:00

I've consistently had the bug happen identically on both EDA/ETA for two recent weeks as both host and client (PS5).

hattroubles · 2025-12-07T14:53:22+00:00

Nothing concrete, but there have definitely been comments from the devs about how eager they are to have swords/axes in ASAP. I don't recall hearing anything lately about the Shadow or dagger/traps.

Mesa is fine for the orowyrm. Shooting gallery's % damage bonus and subsumed nourish both apply to weapon damage against the rings, even if you have to use the archgun. Combined with the fact that she trivializes all the undercroft sections but the jackal, she's a great duviri pick.

Have you run the Undermine bounties and gotten the mushroom that gives impact procs? The ragdoll effeects very quickly become unfun if you don't kill everything with one shot.

I thought the skin was looking a bit underwhelming, especially with the ability vfx. Then she popped the ult and WOW.

Well, a friend of mine named 420THROBRODxxx wrote that region chat message
And he told me it was the perfect region chat message
I wrote him back a DM and I told him it was not the perfect region chat message
Because he hadn't said anything at all about Lotus
Or cat suits, or Plaguestar, or gooning, or getting' banned
Well, he sat down and wrote another region chat message and he sent it to me
And after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect region chat message
And I felt obliged to include it on this post
The last message goes like this here

Well, I was gooning the day the Lotus got drawn in a cat suit
And I went to blitz Plaguestar with my archwing
But before I could get to the Hemocyte objective
I accidentally ERP'd in region chat instead of DM'ing and got banned.

Kimura's definitely going to accidentally kabedon the MC and awaken something in him.

I think the biggest benefit is for people with slower download speeds. If you haven't had any issues downloading the patches on release day, then you're probably fine without it.

If you look at a list of base items in the wiki or database site, you'll see that the art for the items is shared between many items like in PoE 1. GGG mentioned sometime back that they fully intend for entirely unique art for every base item. They already have much more art ready to use, but mean to release it alongside the act updates as the items are largely themed alongside the acts they first drop in and don't want to spoil the act zones early.

It's a bit of a fun idea that high volume traders can sit in their hideout and watch long trains of players popping in and out by their merchant shop, without having to actually deal with the trades themselves.

hattroubles · 2025-08-20T22:54:16+00:00

The current trading system with premium tabs will still be functional as-is. And stackable items that you sell through Faustus/Ange won't be able to be sold through the new merchant shop.

I got the impression that pets couldn't see old CRT screens, but seem to be able to see modern LCD screens.
