the league is goodsike
sabotaged
comparison is the thief of joy
smooth start
i love to LOOOOOOOOOAD
What should I reroll my luminary into? Spiders reliquarian?
im not having fun
poe1 is known for its build diversity
What are the odds this is just a complete poverty league? Even the league mechanic visuals make it look like the best thing its going to drop is some alterations and vendor trash.
>>575205034Even if i'm a broke motherfucker?
>>575178905 Entirely different boss and void stone sequence. Entirely different primary influence base type with different functionality. Revamped map zones to be more modernized like poe2s. (Wider layouts, doors less rock obstructions). Rotating out current league mechanics and introducing new ones entirely instead of the "you know this temporary trash mechanic is just getting deleted end of league". They could have totally changed end game by now just by including settler runes and a revamp of se tinel and crucible. But they're gay
i just love sunder SO much more than earthshatter
I feel like the league mechanic will get played out pretty fast and i'm not smart enough to understand the applications of the crafting. Feels like once you've done a few voyages there isn't much more too see, reminds me of incursion in that respect. There's effectively 1 biome. Maybe you get more fun mods at higher tiers
>>575204932I have work all weekend but I'm keeping an eye out for good DO reliquarians to take inspiration from on monday.I will probably level it as pconc spiders, possibly chaos slinger if I can solve mana.I think another possibility is phatasms and breach bloodline and then just playing selfcast lightning spells and getting 100% phys to lightning.Maybe storm call to take advantage of reduced duration, pacts, vaal stormcall, and super fast lightning warp.Something else to think about is combining vaal caress and xirgils and just doing vaal ice nova for legion and temple farm.
>>575205532it just looks like delve to me, the mechanic takes you out of your maps to do a huge ass map with less rewards
>went for a dive>forgot to bring a stack of alch>whole map is filled with strongboxes
>>575205303Well the funny thing here is if you unspec your ascendancy and click the ascendancy shrine it lets you pick again, so a marauder can be either almost whenever they want.
>>575205856Fair, alright then
>>575205667the ghost coal is whats useful for splitting currency and avoiding shit mods
>>575205532>i'm not smart enough to understand the applications of the craftingit's just the lucky mechanic but for currencyyou roll twice and take the better option
i SUNDER i wear ARMOR i SCREAM automatically
>>575206303forgot my PIC
>>575205838Lmao get rekt
>>575205173It is a poverty leagueEoS soon
Reminder: if you hire a male temp merc you are a homosexual you boy kisser
is this bricked because of the flame dash or almost a jackpot minus the lack of GMP?
>>575206303>>575206414im playing block for the first time and I wish I was slamming
what is the point of logging ini am behind the curve
CUT THE INNOCENCE FIGHT BY 40%
If I buy a high level Mercenary Warrant and then run it in my own white t1 map to recruit them will it stay high level?
League is dead until they unfuck mercenaries. Goddamn stupid fucking RETARDS at GGG.
>>575205076yeah the variety of builds you can play on just 1 ascendancy is truly staggering.
>>575207137reskill brother
>do half a map>remember I need to update my filter>forget about it>do half a map>remember I need to update my filterIts been like 20 maps...
>>575205076when hasnt witch been top 3 played? At almost every point in poe either occultist, necro or ele was good. It's been a long time since all 3 were shit and even then minioncucks will still play necro
>>575207265eh I logged out at act7. Might as well play something else really.
>>575207357^damn
>>575206815Nothing but men making out in that empty head of yours huh
Poe1 needs a poe2 graphics overhaulDidnt jonathan talk about importing poe1 into poe2s engine
so are mercs bad or is it the players who are bad/underleveled/undergeared and jumping the gun
Sin talking about David Carradine
>>575206824It's functional but far from ideal, pretty good for day 2.
>>575207891You have to GEAR the MERCPeople are not giving their MERC any GEAR
>ITEM IS IN DEMAND kys
im picking up all those voyage maps but im not doing a SINGLE onewhy should i
>>575207891I'm not Luminary but i assume its day 1 and it will even out later. I think the people complaining went dps merc sissy link mode and then when they fight a boss the merc just jumps around like a retard
>>575207667poe2 was supposed to be poe1 with new content and a graphics update but then troonathan got involved
>>575199497maps
>add 5m xp to gem in Cruel>sure why not>you are now 2 levels under your gem's lvl requirementGEE GEE GEE
kill captainlance
I don't like earthshatters small aoe
>>575208363I'm levelling so much i'm out of the range by the time i get 9. Its like do 9 charts oh and they're 10 levels under you now
>>575208363they drop shiton of loot
>>575208905i dont see any reason why i should be doing them at low levels honestly>>575208927yeah its all crap tho
>>575208716scouring recipe for -1 level? or they removed it ?>>575208989ducats are not crap l2craft noob
>>575209056are you the retarded
has any league mechanic actually been good enough to do before reaching maps?
>>575207891The mercs are way weaker than they used to be, but maybe just have a lower floor and higher/same ceiling at the end.
>>575209056Luckily i am doing an a1 skill and the vendor gem level is good enough to use until i levle up
>>575209195its good you complete spooky chest for extra movement speed
>>575209195yea, all the random chests are fine and drop good levelling loot and bubblegum. i got a 5l in a3 from a crab one
This is getting unreal, I'm in red maps and STILL haven't gotten a single div or any other tink.
What's the best build to use with an oni-goroshi?I should finish grinding at least two of them some time today but idk what to use them for. I just want a sword babe that levels with me.
cold dot is expensive now with all the hype and jungroan
>>575207891datamining shows that mercs have a -80% damage debuffso you basically have worse animated guardians
>go to bed at 1AM>fubgun is in yellow maps with like 2d to his name>wake up 8 hours later>he has headhunterliterally how
>>575209673RMT
>>575209673ni hao ma guyyyyys
>>575209416I've found 2div and i just got to act 7 :3
>>575209195I don't understand the hatethe chests in campaign areas drop some decent currency for slapping together raresit takes like 30 seconds to run a voyage if you want toI've been mostly ignoring them and just focusing on the campaign, but I ran one at level 20 that dropped over 6k gold when I was getting ~80 per campaign area at that time
>>575209673Streamer seeds are confirmed to exist. GGG uses streamers to promote what they call 'aspirational content,' or content of the game that most people will never realistically reach. Like dropping a head hunter day 1 of league start
Why is Wraeclast the center of the universe? I mean, every single entity (gods, cosmic forces, high IQ aliens) in the entire universe went to Wraeclast and want to conquer/live/deal here
>>575209902New Zealand power fantasy please understand
hideout infitine loading time
I have a few good ideas regarding the current tranny epidemic. Is there like a place where I can discuss some of the issues with you people? I tried discord but they were not willing to listen to some of my ideas.
>>575208708gg bro but don't forget your water
>>575209876this streamers also raped my wife
its too fucking warm alreadyfuck this
>>575209961actually makes perfect sense
>>575209876can confirm I had what could only be a streamer seed in 0.5, 2 headhunters and a fuckton of super expensive lineage supports without target farming them week 1. the loot never stopped coming, never seen anything like it in almost 11 years playing.
TIME AND COCK WAIT FOR NO TRANS
>>575209876i get you guys are memeing when you say this but i don't get it. he does this every league and i watched him this time to see what giga uber omega efficient strats he's doing but he's doing basically nothing different than your average juicer. he's not even juicing maps right now, he's alch and going. is it a case where viewers are buying all his shit for giga money or something? laundering RMT that way?
https://poedb.tw/us/Allflame_uniquesNot many new uniques this time. There's a new fishing rod. The unblinking eye looks pretty good. The crafting sword is a unique idea but probably not that great idk. I'm guessing the unknown items aren't enabled and will come in some future 3.29 patch
>>575209673fagcum got a FREE progenesis valdo map from the battlepass chest, shit is rigged as fuck
>>575210606And you can too if you purchase the battlepass that you saw used by your favorite streamer! BUY NOW!
>>575210527Not reading all that but I remember there was a big streamer who was playing poe for the first time and either a mageblood or a mirror dropped in campaign I forget which one, it was the most blatant case of rigging and you'd have to be a clown to deny it
>>575210527streamer seed isn't memeing. this is the kind of game that needs streamers to onboard noobs and casuals, and needs to show them being successful. you would be retarded not to do it.
>>575209778He's been streaming the entire time though.
>The escape sequence at the end of a Chart encounter is now longer overall, meaning Allflame lanterns will shrink slower and the player will have more time to escape.man they went too far with this, there's like no sense of urgency now
>he is a jingakh
>>575210980damn, really?it's so weird, I was a total shitter at this game for like 12 years and suddenly the last league or two I've managed to easily clear content that they then decided had to be nerfed into the ground
>>575210980They also said mobs would rush you from the depths when its over but it's been pretty cushy so far. I guess if people get trucked after a big investment they quit so high stakes stuff has lower threatIt's probably a worse solution but playing the league i thought Vesper / The Allflame should give you an 'oxygen' meter and every lantern you place drains it faster and when it runs out you've got to leave. At the moment its kind of weird because it starts once you place the last lantern but you can't really do anything with the last lantern so functionally just walking about with 1 lantern is the same outcome
yejibros we just reached act 4
>>575210527it's not a meme. They confirmed streamer queues during that one league launch, and they also confirmed they alter peoples loot seeds at will. The devtools show they can do this. How is it that every league launch these streamers ALWAYS seem to drop T0s on day 1? Just extreme luck? Give me a fucking break. The game is designed to bait you into the MTX store and part of that is pogging out over twitch which is basically free advertisement
Fuck GGG.Fuck Mercsand FUCK the Luminary.If it was Jonatards idea to piss me off and not play the league, then fine, you win fat faggot.
Well, as expected loot is back to being horrendous dogshit with mirage being gone.
>>575212037oh thanks for reminding me I have 2 mushoku eps to catch up to
>>575212049sis... charts literally shit out lootmaybe get into the maps first?

>>575210980reminder that if you did not kill the new boss before this change you did not beat the game
>>575212221all i see people dropping in charts is meme crustacean coins
>>575211886brother we think this league is big poopoo
>>575212221No they don't. I'm in red maps with 2 stones
>>575212347this seems to be the meta atm

>>575212465brother we need to eat a cookie and change our mindset to have fun
Is Luminary fixed yet
Found a merc in my chart
>>575211353yeah I think the difference between charting last night vs charting today will be very apparent for people that tried the mechanic early>>575211710there is a noticeable spike in mobs once the escape starts, but you're right it doesn't really feel like they're rushing in and swarming you. the last lantern is definitely in an awkward spot, I do think that something should be done with it too but it's too late to do that kind of revamp I guess
30k got BAITED into luminary LMAOOOOOO
>>575212865Spooky.
>>575212560> chart to Epstein IslandKEK

lance started his stream crying and apologizing...
>>575213836What's wrong with your Lumi?
I was ready for it to be trash and willing to power through, even if it meant a rough start.I was not ready for it be absurdly fucking bad to the point where 98% of mercs cannot reasonably clear white packs even in acts, let alone maps with some mods. Even if you spend hours farming the same act zone to get a somewhat decent merc, you will be rewarded with a piece of shit that still cannot kill a rare monster in <10 seconds. Their scaling is just abysmal and dmg penalty is beyond cruel, even perfect mercs with insane gear would be waaay worse than any semi-decent build on 1/10th of a budget.GGG effectively made mercs the selling point of this league with several merc related vids, pre-cooked builds and new merc based ascendancy, they even made scion available from the start for new players. This highly insinuates that they wanted you to start this build, but feels like they've put exactly 0 seconds into testing how it would actually feel to play without editing perfect high-end gear into every slot. This, along with some other main highlights of the patch (caster buffs my ass), simply feels like misleading and leaves a very bad aftertaste.
ok heres my 18 hour opinion of the league. it's good unless you got baited into playing a scion then I understand why you're probably having a bad time. i hope everyone gets a megablood
Wahts a non bait S+++ tier starter now
is the tree fixed

>only 3 threads across almost 20 hours since leaguestartwhat happened
>>575215273rog crafting is a waste of time now, fautus gamble or tree craft
Luminary/MErcs was the most baited shit ever. 5 hours wasted on that shit
>>575215127so are we really going to pretend this never happened or whats the plan here?
Did you really think they were going to let a low effort build be good before 100 div? you're going to sing and dance for that loot
>>575215315hard to shitpost while pushing reds
>>575215402has the tree been buffeD?
>>575215410sounds like skill issue, only the biggest brains can find success with SLUT SCION.
Rue got mogged by the king of minion cucks
>>575212560I am the necro. I just paid 8c for a 3 stat jewel.
>>575215425It's 2026. If you have an online presence your cock and balls are out there somewhere. I don't think people have cared about accidental webcam masturbation for like 10 years since it's happened to so many streamers since.
>>575215557Never stopped people before
soooooo are there gonna be any sunday hotfixes?
Think I'm done, the game is too antiquated because of "muh vision" but really the game just feels like shit
>>575215865I do care since he is a part time teacher in japan. Dude is responsible for children, he cant do this shit live on stream to a bunch of children. I informed japans teacher unit of this accident. Quite easy nowadays thanks to clips.
>>575215867I'll give you that. something might be up.
>>575215425Stop the machine. Here I solved your " no dilemna"
>>575216135snitches get stitches
But seriously, what's wrong with Lumi?It feels fine to me. The caveat is that most of them have abysmal AI, but find one with a good skill and no override skills, throw a double-Phys attack speed weapon on them, and they'll do great.A prime example of override problems:>CombatantCan spawn with Static Strike (good skill)Can spawn with normal Spectral Helix (bad)Can spawn with both and Spectral Helix has use priority over Static Strike. A Combatant with both skills is automatically bad because he'll use a shit skill.The fact I can't just turn off the skills I don't want him to use is wild.
>>575216135>thinking japan cares about the sexual harassment of children
I like the Lumi vtuber. lots of people draw lewds of her and post them on twitter. it's pretty neat
>>575214304just switch to reliquarian. i'm making a leap slam build.
rue is making a new character he says mercs sucks.....
>>575207891They are absolutely completely fucking dogshit, the only "playable" merc is a fully decked out endgame one when you have 14k life, enmities embrace, taming and 200% increased light radius. My RF outscales my merc damage nearly 10x over and my nodes are mostly fucking life and have virtually no fire damage.
>>575213757there's one in the vaal temple and one in the library and after 3 leagues I STILL don't know how to get to them
Man delve fucking sucks>Need to descend to sub 100 before drops approach halfway mediocre and several HUNDEDED more after that>Need to grind out azurite for upgrades>Reward for finishing aforementioned homework is 15 different flavors of "guarded by a stream of monsters" encounters and running through halls filled with monsters that drop 0 (zero (zilch (nothing, none, not one fucking iota))) loot
>>575214865anyone with a bit of game knowledge could tell that was bait. just play elementalist and reroll with twink gear
>>575216276>But seriously, what's wrong with Lumi?The 80% damage penalty shouldn't exist, that's what. This potentially breaks the game when you finally deck out the merc, but so does every other good build so idk why that matters. GGG failing balance as usual.
>design Merc based class>put a massive hidden damage penalty for mercs into itIf they actually put the real number (70% reduced damage) nobody would have gotten baited by this dogshit.
>>575216717damage penalty could scale with area level.
who do i believe
>betting your entire leaguestart on a totally untested extremely experimental ascendancy and league mechanic reworkI do feel for my luminiggas but you also need to understand that this was 100% predictable and you're kinda retarded for putting yourself in this position
im league starting slams because im not retardedbut you have to cut the lumicucks some slack, why would you assume there's some hidden 80% damage malus, there is no way they could have known
>>575216958ya. they could barely get the servers online. I would've made the pivot after the Sike tweet
>this was predictable>like silver(ra)fist in PoE2 wasyea about that predictability>but poe2happened in poe1 when new released shiny thing was op but shant be searching for you
Yes. It's the PLAYERS fault for playing something new in the video game! NO it is not GGG's fault, they did nothing wrong and everything correct.
>>575217114welcome brother
>>575217184Lumi is probably fine with twink gear leveling and late game gear. Scion has always been to league start and has always had weak leveling compared to other classes.
rue is so shit at the game that he quit luminary early after talking big game to lance lmao
serves lumi players right for playing a foid
>>575217547let's see what happens when the bait originator gets to red mapsafter 100 divs investment does not count
I'm never playing a tanky leaguestarter again blasting with zhp just feels so nice
>>575217547its not his fault
done my dailiestime to finish the campaign
>>575207891turns out gearing a second character isnt a good leaguestarter
>>575217547SUNK (boat league lol) cost fallacylook it uphe made the right choice
>>575217404There's several problems, the first is gear, the second is low level mercs freebie scaling stops in maps and you need to purchase or find a high level merc immediately.
>teacher in japansounds about right
>>575218130i unironically want dalies weeklies and raids in poe
>>575216717>The 80% damage penalty shouldn't existWhat 80% damage penalty?

testthe /v/ janny is a retarded faggottestluminary bros im midway through the campaign about to do lab all of reddit is seething saying merc is bait are they wrong?
It's definitely a low point of the thread whenever you faggots go off about your irrelevant dogshit streamers
how do I profit off this luminary coin crash out
>>575218559There is no 80% damage penalty. You just got baited.

>>575220948fuck no, my gear prices!!
>>575221129it came to me in a dream
>>575217547isnt this the guy that rmted the headhunter few leagues ago?
>>575220419Definitely feels retarded op. But that's just GGG balance. Sunder is just an approved (tm) skill

>>575221520>responded to her flirtingrue please stop defending yourself here you have an ele hit to reroll to
luminary is the great filter of shit build creators huh
BE WASHED AWAAAAAYY
I tried pushing through, but it just struggles so much in yellow maps even with what i consider to be pretty good gearI dunno how much hidden damage penalty they have on permanent mercs but im quitting the league now. Too demotivated to continue knowing unless i RMT its gonna take me 10x as much time to get the good items, its jsut over man. See yall for the economy reset in PoE 2
So someone the other day was wondering if GGG was retarded by removing Global Accuracy from the tree or if it was streamlining. I can tell you it's just GGG being retarded, inbred kiwis, anon. Cause you can still roll Global Accuracy on items.
Assassin is so fucking good, bros. I'm just cruising through yellow maps with Ethereal Knives, amazing clear and good enough damage to kill bosses in 3-4 seconds. You get so much damage from Assassin now (80% More dmg from one node) you can just stack life and other defenses on your tree and gear.
league mechanic sucks big timekeepers 2.0
>lvl32 manyshot>CRUSHING EVERYTHING>cant even update gear because its too low levelwhy are people bitching?
>>575222721Probably retarded.
>>575222551kinda regret not going sin in favour of something reliable. enjoy the bifurcation
So why should i EVER interact with the league mechanic?
>>575222551maybe I reroll to assassin instead trickster for my frostblades but I'll see at mapsI can't get bifurcate but the instant leech and mark effect would go hard
Took off 0.4, played a ton of 3.28 and 0.5, even played a little TotA, think it's time for another break. This mechanic ain't it and there's nothing else new to do.
Holy shit I regret going Assassin.I am fucking paper dying left and right and I doubt the only defensive node for the ascendancy being that elusive node is going to stop that
>>575223201>>575222551trust based Mako over dumb Umas
in retrospect maybe turning heist into an underwater extraction shooter wasn't quite the brilliant stroke they thought it was
>>575223201retard
>every poe2 player I see getting shocked on all the qol poe1 havegrim
>faggot lance got the RNG streamer client getting all the good loots to gear his merc>gaslighting viewers that they have skill issue instead of admitting that he baited 30k people into lumiwhat a clown
>>575223673dont forget hes bald
>>575223810pls dont baldshame
>>575223673there is no excuse for getting baited into an ascendancy that has literally nothing to offer if mercs aren't good. stop defending morons.
what's wrong with being bald
>>575222981To be able to preview orb outcomes.If you don't use orbs then no, you shouldn't interact with it.
>>575223953So its just a crafting mechanic for 1% crafters Great...
I am not sure if some of guys are aware but there is something called alpha realm. Some people, including some of the streamers have alpha access to leagues before the launch. People like ben for example. Why would anyone blindly play anything blindly from people who dont have that kind of access. I dont get it. You are at fault here for randomly picking shit builds.
>everyone complaining about lumin>im just comfy farming sceptre of god for my merc like pokemon for kinetic or ice shot
Think I might do a Chart break before killing Kiatava and clear out the A10 charts I got just to get familiar with the mechanic and try to get a small power spike before starting maps
>>575222721Because they keep trying to make Kineticist (needs fuckloads of added damage before it feels good), Combatant/Smoulder/Bladebitter (bad AI, mostly meh skills except for their best one), etc. work.Manyshot just works.
>every Luminary player is going Flame Link aurabot>when Rallying Cry support Merc+Facebreakers or Wander oneshots bossesAre all Scion players retarded or something?
>merc dies>revive him>doesnt join me untill the next areaumm...how does this build kill bosses
Most low effort league I've played in years. Not even gonna bother past day 1
lilly has ripped 3 times so far wtf?too much TLI i guess
>>575217114> why would you assume there's some hidden 80% damage malus, there is no way they could have knownTbdesu thats the most basic GGG shit ever, they always do that
>>575224846people with alpha realm access would have known...
>>575224846they're all looking for someone to blame for being baited when not only was it obvious but they were warned continuously
>>575224736The mechanic is even worse than mirage
its literally heist except not shit
You can just tell when a league mechanic is too busy and clicky that its going to be a poverty league
Alright so now that I'm almost a day late to the league and """Luminary"""" is apparently DOA, what do I go as my league starter?
>>575225159i like it more
>>575225159mirage was the most low effort garbage mechanic ever made.>a zone with a bit more of map
>>575225390reliquarian just in case luminary gets buffed
>>575225624It had some effortThis garbage "drown in a second" garbage mapping 1.7 is just ass rewards are ass "crafting" is ass the whole UX is ass
>Oh cool, a Twyzel, I'll throw this on my level 38 Mer->No, nuhuh, she's level 38~ and Twyzel is level 40!What a dog system.
>>575223673There is no streamer client.Instead each player account and character has an associated loot seed that determines how good your drops and crafts are, and how difficult (or if it's even possible) to roll the highest tiers of drops as your own loot.We got this info from the GGG employee leaks shown their employee dashboard for managing user accounts. We know the loot seed is crucial for high end drops because GGG confirmed anyone caught botting has their seed adjusted to prevent any currency higher than a chaos orb from dropping or from rolling high tier affixes on their crafts.
>>575223673skill issue, rue.
looks like lance is proving that everyone is just bad and luminary is S++++ tier as usual :)
Please GGG I beg you to add a "Disable MTX in town" option or something like that.There are big animals, dragons, bongos, huge idle monster and now plague on the ground? Yes, I know you don't see those things on your Hideout after the campaign, but I just want to do a smooth campaign whenever I level a new character. I don't have a bad PC and yet our PCs suffer a lot with all of those unnecesary particles, effects and such things.Every league is worse than the one before in terms of aesthetic in towns.

odds stick with luminary in yellow maps/farm blight for money...............evens reroll0 quit
Armor/ES or EV/ES for cold dot ele endgame? I see a lot of people going EV/ES but surely ar/es is tankier no? Maybe the bases are better on ev/es side?
>>575226490l8r g8r
>>575226490cya
Is anyone playing Ruetoo's phys dot elementalist? Deciding between that and an assassin build.
>>575226490truly the most blessed rng outcome with this shitass poverty noeffort league
dude simplex amulets are 13 divines lmao, heist is demolished
>>575226756It's a really good build and got even stronger. Especially as autobomber with some decent investment. If you want to follow a streamer, probably Ventrua. Cold dot leveling into phys dot swap once you can afford a Poet's Pen.
>>575226035here's your ggg admin panel
Just finished act 5. How am I doing?
If you go Nameless, you can 12-link something I guess lol
>>575226842Is that good or bad? I dont know how it used to be
>>575227350Thats real neat. The helmet slot also a roll?
This is Irina Luminesk and she is better than your Luminary waifu
>>575227350or you can use shako with this
>>575227350that's an insane item
so luminary flopped bigly, huh
>>575227350Whats that meme heist helmet with double damage
>>575227813why are you surprised frog? scion was literally never good in the last 10 years, what were you expecting?
>>575227685Yes, also it's another "it can have 1 or 2 mods" scenario.It gets even worse though.>Skills granted by your Passive Tree are Supported by level 20 (whatever)
Are Trarthus gems still only available at 70s?
>>575227818Crest of Desire.>Has 1 socket>+5-8 levels to socketed gems>+30-50% to qualify of socketed gems>Socketed skills deal double damage
Have you apologised to Tri, yet?He was right about 3.29.
I havent had a merc spawn for 3 fucking hours
>>575228138it's really good for tornado
I've made it to yellow maps with my poominary in HC bros. We're going to make it.
>>575227976This isn't PoE2.In what circumstances would the pittance of granted skills from Ascendancies benefit from this?
ngl poe2 feels way better to play than poe1
>The gem color changeOpinion?
>>575228743game just keeps getting easier every patch
>>575228743Why do all ya motherfuckers just magically assume everyone knows what the FUCK you are talking about?
Is flicker good this league?
>>575227802Shako league gotta get me to harvest
playing grim dawnhow is it going bros, are you betatesting the league starters for me, which one is doing the best?
>>575228890its great with luminary
>>575228730I have come to this conclusion as well.Which is funny because before it came out i was a major detractor about wasd and dodgeroll before it came out
>>575228927God I wish that was me
>>575228807How do you not know what he is talking about? Did you not notice ever piece of gear has white sockets?
>>575228890Yeah sure just go zerker trauma stack self bleed with apeps and tainted pact.

>>575229281gem color change.
>>575229281tabula can't have colors easily if at all
>>575229281Nothing.Tabula has literally no inherent benefit over a random 6L anymore.
>>575229281literally any corrupted 6link is objectively better than a tabula now
not gonna lie, they fucking nailed the gameplay flow of league mechanic. either its a pack of mobs in maps with immediate loot or charting shit and then voyaging shit for fat loots. this is heist but without all the annoying parts.
>>575228636Reliquarian Level 20 Raise Spiders and Molten Burst are probably nuts if 5 linked
>>575229590retard
luminarybait is gonna plummet the playercount off a cliff LMAO, I'm in t1 maps and thinking about quitting
>>575229590tabula is lvl1
@575229923you cant post something like that. thats illegal.
>>575229281Everything the other anons told you +> breach tree got fucked and cucked so easy 6ls dont exist anymore
>>575229928and it has always sucked.
>>575230057meanwhile on standard I have dropped like 5 uncorrupted 6Ls in two hours from scoured maps
>jonathan puts the act8 guaranteed merc spawn in the most remote location in the whole act>if you find yourself stuck in maps and go back to farm for a usable merc, tough shit nigger it doesnt spawn because you're too high level for no reason whatsoever:DDDDDDD
>Die to Brutus >Have to do a bed of chaos style runback>Die to Brutus again while he lives at 1 hp>Have to do a bed of chaos style runback againYeah, nah. I'm done with this league. Let me know when they fix the game so I don't have to deal with outdated shit like this anymore.
>spend half an hour mapping>Come out with enough sulphite and charts to keep me busy for 4x as longComfy league. Just what I needed after mirage
SHUT THE FUCK UP ENVOY
>sold my first easy craftso it begins
Throw my first ancient orbSSF BTW
>>575227536hundreds of divines (they were like 1/1000 runs or something)
Isn't it kind of fucked up that everybody wants to use a shield not so that they can block but just so they can go fast? Feels like something should be done about that
>>575228730Comparison is the theft of joy(can't agree more btw, i also realized i hate poe1 campaign much more than poe2)
>>575230497fuck yeah. stay comfy, bwo. gonna keep spamming toxic sewers with my spark luminary
imagine getting baited by luminary LOL
>>575230471If you can't farm T1 maps, your build isn't just shit, it's irredeemable my dude.Run 'em white. If your only goal is to get some new Mercs, carefully clear up through T3 or T4 Magic rarity, spend all those points getting Merc nodes.18 points is all you need for +80% Merc spawn chance.20 points to also pick up Wellspring of Creation to boost your survivability.Then you can farm T1s to your heart's content.
So it's 30 less, not 80?
>>575230948its not bait yet just on the backburnerggg still has time to listen to feedback
whats ziz saying about the league
>>575231023Correct.Like I said, "you are getting baited" in response to -80%.Mercs are just an RNG hellgrind is the real issue.>Gotta get good skill combos with good supports and actively avoid certain skills which can brick their AI (brick as in they will stand there doing NOTHING sometimes because they can't decide what skill to use)

>>575231672rue?
...so if you use all the bathyspheres there's no way to leave and your voyage is just bricked?
>>575231668gl!
You can really see how giga bricked the perma merc is when you get a temp one in maps. They absolutely fuck compared to my flame linked dude
Can I finally play the game
How anyone is inbred enough to die in Act 1 or even Act 2 is beyond me.
coffee doesn't do shit to me anymore

is weylam roth undead? does everyone just hang around with a zombie like it's no big deal? he even asks you to get some vaigra, are people out there fucking zombies?
>>575232851It's way easier to model things when you know for sure what needs to be covered than nebulous barbie anatomy that winds up looking weird because you didn't realize you put the nipples way too low. People explode into red mist in this game all the time anyway like who gives a fuck about some nipples and pussy, man.

>>575232649I died in act 1 because I didn't realize how dangerous the mechanic is when you run out of torches.
Imagine being russian
>>575208708yellows
>>575233581Can't believe I wasted a whole fucking day on that bullshit. Gotta run through this fuckass campaign again now. At least I got enough for a seven-league.
>>575232710Bind movement to the spacebar. Helps a ton. Use keymapped hotkeys for your abilities. Also helps. This game is notorious for giving long time players fucked up hands. Don't become a statistic.
>>575234069alreay have
>>575233581PoB? Never played assassin
>>575233065hi quin! you're a cool dude
>>575234128Then you're fucked. Make the swap to controller.
>>575233581>every build guide already pivoting from "BRO YOU WON'T EVEN NEED STORMBLAST OR WARCRY OR ANYTHING ELSE IT'S JUST THERE FOR 10 BILLION DPS" into "Well, of course you need specters, stormblast mines, flame link, a gear on the merc, warcries, and banners to kill rares."It's fucking over, pack it in.
>>575231785you can take out the items from it and call home
Can i wear armor only on a slayer cyclone build
yeah bro roll a build where the entirety of its viability is based on RNG minions where you don't even know the stats of their abilities yetvery smart
if mercs are so weak why do they oneshot me when dueling them?answer that one smarty pants
>WorbsWho would have thought this build would be the star of the league? Apparently streamers and reddit have no influence in real life, even though they were the ones who hyped up Luminary
The new mechanic is extremely mid.
>>575234159https://pobb.in/8dz9QXmsOxCXYou can level with Ethereal Knives from Act 1 until red mapsThe damage starts falling off later, so at lvl 90 or so swap to Blade Vortex+Blade Blast of Unloading once you have invested into AoE nodes (probably want at least 100% inc AoE and inc AoE support)
>>575234571Ziz said worb was going to be the build of the league
>90+>luminary only 2% holy shit I am not following this degenerate ascendancy, what the fuck happened?
just got my last ascendancy point
>>575234571everyone?
>>575234582I drown half the time.
>>575234651Very cool thanks
>>575234690Needs multiple divs in investment to clear yellow maps LMAO
>>575234690you shouldnt play lumi anyway. this is a high iq class.
>>575234896>high iq>merc does everything>no thinkingAh, ok
Which corner do you go to first for your atlas?
Guys, guys, look at captainlance. His merc is popping off>t0 bow is now 9div>still shit
>>575234449works on spirit walker monkey
what white patches means when i finishe abyss ? im fucked too slow ?
cyclone bros?
honestly the biggest surprise of the league is that i thought aurabot was the most brainless archetype in the game, but somehow its the archetype shitters struggle with the most LOL
>>575234690Probably the biggest case of multiple big streamers baiting the fuck out of their audience since the toxic rain occultist incident. It's insane how dogshit Luminary is and like 10% of the playerbase went for it. The numbers might be brutal this league because I feel like a lot of people are just gonna say fuck it.

>retards shit-flinging over build on tradeL M A O
Luminary is good retards.It's just the line that says "your permenant mercs do no damage" that's bricking the entire build.Blame GGG for being fucking idiot retarded retards.
For all the shitflinging... at least it's not poison TS.
farming white t1s to get a useable merc is fun, actually
>>575235465>the build is good, except for the line in the build that says it doesn't do damage.
Glad I did a small break before killing Kitava to get familiar with the boat. I got a much better understanding of how to do them with a couple Voyages
builds for that feel
How do you deal with the fact that ubers day 1 is the only real viable leaguestart strategy in poo1 rightn now, and if you or your build can't do that, you are condemned to a week of poverty
It's unreal how untanky I am it's like the insta leech does nothing
why does bathysphere looks like a crying basedjak
>>575236106KEK
HELPhow do i get this to say four ghostly copies? do i just keep running the league mechanic until a green quest item drops?
>>575236106now I remember what it resembles
was the merc dmg reduction always there or was it a last second nerf?
>>575236329shit I can't unsee it now
>>575235884Dawnbreaker Doryani's Prototype Reliquarian
>>575235884Marvel rivals
wow this new helmet is fucking garbage
>>575236485There since reveal. It was mentioned permanent ones do less damage.How much was never mentioned so it could have been from 99% to 1%.
why would they advertise mercs if they were bad? they wouldntlogically that means its an issue on the player side
It's sabotage.
>>575236807Am I retarded?This looks fucking amazing.
>>575236485It was there, but people didn't realize that it's like -70% or some bullshit because they didn't put a number on it.
why do you streamnigger dickriders use builds by anyone who isnt fubgun? he never misses.
>>575236970that credit card has a 100% success rate, fubby truly numbah wun
Luminary is unplayable. I refuse to relink my niggers every zone.
i got a foulbourne uul neto with +1 warcry for 2c
>>575233834No I mean the idiot who died to shit like Brutus
so this is insane right, like Headhunter tier at least
>>575237335I like my chase belts to make me press less buttons not more, like my good friend mageblood.
>>575237335you trade mageblood slot for that but otherwise it's good
Armor is OP
>>575237428do we know if pacts can't be triggered?
>>575237335It's real nice but the belt slots got some hefty competition.
>>575237335this makes Divine Retribution shotgun 128 times and also buffs you, btwand makes your clear mapwide
>fight merc>get oneshotyea bro fuck gggmercs are sooo weak
>>575237620Automation doesn't work since they are not instant, but I guess the trigger wand craft could work.
how do you survive exarch as golem whore
this merc is still crushing in maps. when does it get bad, so i feel forced to look for upgrade?
>nycta's lantern is 100ckek
>>575210527It's so blatant too. They have the promotion for twitch drops and gifting subs. They boost the rates of t0 for streamers you watch to make the game look exciting. At the end of the day GGG want to make money. Imagine showing a streamer get junk currency while farming the new mechanic. No one would play.
I really like this league mechanic, hope it goes core
>>575237316Poe is just hard for people who haven't played arpgs before. I've had coworkers get hard stuck at hillock after trying to rope them into some group play. There's a lot of prerequisite knowledge we have when we play.
>>575234690>needs good merc>needs 3 expensive uniques just to get to reds>can't follow pobs because merc doesn't show up>merc dies map is bricked because YOU CANNOT SWITCH MERC DURING YOUR MAPabsolute chaos, unless they midleague buff luminary on monday things are looking dire
>>575237971https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2828549536?t=8h57m45sunsocket them.Paak did exarch a bit ago on his ignite hexblast ele.
>>575238096>has good (if not the best) merc>"When does it get bad"When monster level gets too high for lvl 32 merc to handle.
Alright I admit I got baited by mercs. Odds I get baited twice by playing Ass, evens I just roll worb like a sane man.
>>575239114congrats
