Path of Exile

You aren't going to play this shitty expansion, right user?

I am, whats the league unique this time around?

The league mechanic is "Abyss,," which is basically you walk by a crack in the ground and it splinters off in a direction and opens a hole from which monsters pour out of. If you kill them all fast enough, it splinters and makes another hole. Do this several times and you'll get either a loot chest or a doorway to an Abyssal Depths. These areas hold exclusive new Jewels and shit and high-level ones are home to Lichs who are the only source of the League's exclusive Unique items.

cookie clicker tier garbage gameplay

double or triple slamming dongers still way to go?

you mean warchief?, yea, still noobproof and effective as before

End game content only huh? thats lame

Its an endgame Expansion

i'm done with cookie clicker simulators

>3.2 is when ggg will balance ascendancies

The expansion itself, War for the Atlas, is almost entirely end-game focused. As for the league mechanic, it's all levels of play from Coast in Act 1 all the way up through the Guardian maps. There's 1 in almost every area.

This.

I honestly don't understand how people don't just fall asleep while playing PoE. Once you get a decent build going the game practically plays itself.

I made the mistake of playing the shit out of the most recent beta(the release of the new acts) and got pooped out by the time the league actually started. I want to play badly but I guess I have to wait for the new league/expansion now.

FUCK

yeah but you cant get uniques from it or jewels until end game. I miss beyond league that had something for everyone

>endgame focused expansion requiring days of playing to explore
>32 new maps with rippy bosses from part 2
>50 new vendor trash uniques
>vulnerability more obnoxious than ever
>new skills are just gimmicky detonate dead gems

Yeah no thanks enjoy beta testing it for next league.

still the best arpg
i'm also addicted

>End game content only huh? thats lame
HAHAHAHAHHAH don't tell me you play PoE for the fucking story or some shit?

nah, just dont see why i have to wait for my second character to do league content

I quit when they started to fuck up muh race seasons

i have 11 lifetime race points

they had some really nice races like Descent: Champions you should try that if they ever do it again

>expansion focused on expanding the quantity of endgame mapworks maps

I bet they'll still just end up autismally grinding the most efficient one, Ledge or whatever. Endless fucking ledge hour after hour without ever actually getting anything worthwhile dropped in any of them. Whoopity dee.

I feel like playing HC ruined arpgs a little for me.
I cannot go back to softcore because the thrill and decision making just isn't there for me.
On the other hand i've gotten to the point where the regular thrill is kind of fading and pushing into hard content and especially new content feels kinda shitty in HC.
Now i'm left in this spot where I hate the idea of losing several hours when I die, deciding on whether I want to spend a small amount of currency on upgrades incase I die or spending most of my currency to further insure I don't die.

I wish someone could think of a good middle ground for people to try out.
Maybe something like always being set back a full level when you die? Losing a random open-ended passive point when you die along with it maybe?

So it's Breach but renamed?

>always being set back a full level when you die?
Nah thats nothing, how about if you die you drop all your gear forever?

Basically, yes.

The only thing Beyond had for everyone was rips

It's breach except each breach can be won. Also I recall reading something about side-areas like Vaal that the abyss spawned

I got 2 of the uniques while i was leveling, maybe thats why i remember it so fondly. I remember they would level with you it was great

>Jewels
Actually, those can drop from any Abyss zone.

That's a popular suggestion and it's not bad, some of the same problems still exist with it but still something I would like to try.

I hope GGG experiments with different penalties in the future.

It would have to be its own league

>that slayer nerf
Well fuck you too Chris you fucking nigger, I was going to buy the Redemption armor but with how they niggered everything I will skip this season.

"nerfed"

with new vaal pact they can leech like 58% of their life per second

Ok now I'm a stupid nigger didn't saw that vaal change.

Don't worry OP, I'm not playing it. I don't like skinner boxes.

If this game came out on console I'd play it. My favorite game of all time is Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 was a big disappointment.

If anyone in charge of anything with this game sees this message.. just put it on consoles. PS4 namely. Could be cool on switch too. Don't ask me how you're gonna do it, just do it.

if im not mistaken the game is already confirmed for console release at some point

its already out on xbox aint it?

probably not, new league didn't sound too interesting, got burned out quickly last league too

considering the update is about high maps too, i always get bored as fuck by tier 8-11 maps
maybe if i was playing it with some people i knew or something, but im done with playing it solo i think till theres major changes or dozens of new skills

Of course, like the last six leagues. Three to four weeks to hit 36/40 and then I am done until the next one, PoE is perfect for short, hard binging.

When will it stop being balanced around being 1shot from offscreen? I'm not coming back to it until they fix that.

I play the same way, im pretty sure everyone does

At the cost of their Life Regen.

some of the people that like PoE probably don't like the games you play

amazing concept I know

That should be happening next patch because they finally got rid of instant Leech from the two major sources, Atziri's Acuities and Vaal Pact.
Ye gods, this League is gonna be rough.

Rev up those supporter packs, goyim! We really need the money.

it's been out on Xbox for some time now

Cool. I hope so.
I wouldn't know. Why only trashbox? What a waste.

Probably not. My gf and I just came down from a frenzied play of D3 so we're both pretty clicked out, she nearly crippled herself and I'm just tired of clicking for a while. It's not helped by the fact that PoE has you spinning your wheels a hell of a lot long before you reach endgame.

Microsoft funded the port and provided technical support and marketing

>wanting a game designed for PC on console in the first place

fuck of casual

off*

Here's your Atlas for the League.
