Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk bout the #PathOfExile trade system. While it is exceedingly cumbersome... I feel like that is a feature of the system to prevent runaway arbitrage.
Did a little Path of Exile on the Series X this morning. PoE is a beautiful, fun game but it certainly lends itself to playing in short bursts because of how damn frustrating it can be. Just getting killed over and over at the same spot, STRONG enemies that are FAST despite me finding the best gear possible, socketing, etc.
As always in games (including Diablo II, despite me loving it), I hate how some games have enemies that respawn when you leave or re-enter an area. I've always thought that's a total garbage mechanic in games. If I kill you once, that should be it. Unless it's an animal or something, the specific monster enemies should STAY DEAD.
Anyway, trying as a witch this time in PoE and it's interesting. Brutal. But I'm gonna keep going. Carefully and slowly, apparently. 🙄
Good Morning Friends! This morning I dive into the hornet's nest of emotions that I have relating to #ExileCon 2023 and the #PathOfExile II reveals. I have complicated feelings and maybe just a bit of copium.
Good Morning Friends! Yesterday I said some nonsense about finishing up Act 10 on my Arma Brand Scion... and that is not at all what happened. Instead, I spent the entire night searching crucible trees looking for a Pain Attunement node. I talk about this nonsense and how I think we will judge Crucible more fondly as time passes.
Good Morning Friends! Last night I continued working on my Armageddon Brand Scion in #PathOfExile. I pivoted into Righteous Fire for the spell damage buff and Petrified Blood to run a few more auras. Should wrap up Act 10 tonight and work on proper gearing.
Good Morning Friends! Last night I recorded some footage of playing the Armageddon Brand Scion I have been fiddling with in #PathOfExile. Nothing major, just a quick trip through Blood Aqueducts since I am still leveling. I also spend a bit of time talking about a potential Inquisitor version for 3.22 League Start.
I you don't want to read a lot of talky words, here is the video itself. Just a quick taunt through blood aqueducts as I slam meteors down on my foes and hem haw about what sort of path I am trying to take.
Good Afternoon Folks! I am a bit late getting this out here... because I maybe took on a monumental task. #PathOfExile is a phenomenal #ARPG but it has a very steep learning curve... which I am attempting to flatten a bit.
Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk about some of the outrage surrounding #Diablo4 Season 1, why I ultimately stopped playing the game, and why the far superior #PathOfExile needs a much better new player on-ramp.
It had been a while since I had recorded a video, and this morning I was about to make another attempt at the Beginner's Luck achievement in #PathOfExile so I thought I would record it. I also thought maybe recording it would give me luck as I talk through the nonsense.
Good Morning Friends! Getting a bit of a later start today because life has been sorta crazy. There is a lot of drama happening right now in the fledgling #Diablo4 community surrounding seasonal characters. Since this is a foreign concept to folks outside of the Core #ARPG demographic, I spend some time defining the genre and how seasons have traditionally worked.
Good Morning Friends. The recent round of teaser trailers for #PathOfExile II have led me to do some speculating about new starter classes or maybe even a proper character creation system. This morning I talk about that and also a bit about the hype building in me for ExileCon coming July 28th.
The #redditblackout has moved to a new stage... from a two day blackout to indefinitely shutting down... to people moving away entirely.
Yes, r/startrek has lifted off from #reddit and moved to #lemmy -- and with it, a realization that we need an easy way to help people find their new, old communities that have moved from reddit to #lemmy#kbin and whatever else pops up.
I started a quick and dirty list that you can share and contribute to (PRs welcome!).
Good Morning Friends! I return to my #PathOfExile nonsense with some ramblings about how much I have been enjoying my Explosive Arrow Champion character. The previous video that I shared was of a brand-new character with minimal passive tree points... and was admittedly a bit on the slow side. This morning I include a new video of the current state of the character.
Good Morning Friends! There are a bunch of mechanics in #PathOfExile that I have largely ignored because the game as a whole has a bit of an information overload problem for new players. This morning I talk about venturing forth into Forbidden Flesh and Flame Jewel territory, and also my exploits of failing at the Vorici Calculator.
Path of Exile 2 is no longer an expansion to Path of Exile 1 (twitter.com)
They will be standalone games with separate game balance, systems and future expansions....
