Meh I don't know.

I always prefered D3 to POE. The combat in POE feels so...stiff? While this update might have some nice features I couldn't be arsed to play through that boring A1 again.

The other thing that always bothered me with this game is that fights are balanced around Alt+F4. I dislike that a lot. I'd rather have a 10 seconds logout timer. Meh.

They fixed dsync after 2 years, so that's a plus. The lockstep mode felt jerky, but that might've been due to overloaded servers on patch day.

So, yea, quit after 10 minutes. Looking forward to D3 update

They changed all acts. Merged some areas, added new ones, removed some.

IKR. Played until 3am, took one of my old chars through A4 three times for the skill points. Cool stuff. Hate that they changed the UI to appease SJWs tho.

They might indicate areas where warbands can spawn, I didn't really check.

I fought a few last night. Largest one I fought had 6 enemies, dropped some nice yellows. The ilevel seemed to be slightly higher than the zone they were in.

I liked fighting other exiles some time ago more. The warbands are strange, just a pack of better elites.

Started playing this again since some days. Really enjoying it so far Very Happy

Following this Magma Orb build, as it looked great in the videos:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1306118

Its very good so far in combination with Fire Trap.

But i have a problem with mines, in this case Fire Nova Mine:
When i plant three of those and want to detonate them, they sometimes just disappear during combat. Can enemies destroy/remove them or what?

Oldest mine gets destroyed or simply disappears if you place more than the max. amount. Same with traps or if you summon minions.

They can only be destroyed by AOE.

been playing this gem on and off ever since it first came out in 2013, love it!!

this last Awakening "expansion" ( its really so much more then just an expansion) really takes it to the next level
mainly the new 'lockstep mode' banishing that god awful desync abomination that plagued this game before, and was my biggest gripe with it
this plus countless more changes and improvements make it a whole new experience

now its simply a pleasure to play, i encourage everyone who gave up on it to give it another go

The difference lockstep makes is just amazing for me. Desync has been completely eradicated and the game just feels so much smoother.

I have a 70-ish summoner witch from back in the day but some of the best minions had some broken particle-effects which randomly froze clients for a few secs, leading to death and xp-loss (which is why I gave up on PoE, doing the same 2-3 levels over and over was a bit of a chore). Anyone know if that's still a problem?

Although far from being perfect, depending on when was the last time that you played, the game went through different optimization phases so it may be worth a shot to try it once more.

Haven't touched it since right after map-fragments were introduced, so I might just do that (when I'm done remodeling the kitchen in the current flat, selling said flat, moving into the new (already purchased) flat, and completely remodeling the entirety of the new one, that is...)

New content incoming to PoE

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1478438

That's the way all games should be updated. And keep in mind this one is a free game Smile

New league will be a blast. I'm sure.

I won't compare it to D3d game, but still it's inferior in so many ways to PoE that you could think off - loot and filtering options, builds, theorycrafting, jewels, poe.trade web, procurement, maps, bosses and uber ones (quantity of them all), teamplay benefits, solo enjoyability, feeling of progression, achievements in temp leagues, races or casual play.

And btw they are aiming for 10 acts in the long run. Yes 10! Removing repeatable progress over and over again.

So if u didin't try PoE at all or u've tried and got bored eventually, December 11 is the time for return and trying this ever growing game Smile

I've been playing PoE long time ago and as everyone noted here - game felt a lot like grinding the same shit everyday. And i couldn't stand it more than for 500 hours. Then i've started playing D3 for a long time... much longer than PoE. Dunno why. Maybe i was a blizzard fan... and i still am! But after some major changes in PoE and abysmal changes in D3 it felt that i should i invest more time into a freebie game. And i'm sure now - that was a right decision. After PoE increased tier 1 uniques drops by 4x and tons of other changes, this game doesnt feel so grindy. Actually it's way less grindy than D3. Here u have tons of options, tons of challenges, tons of new content being thrown at u. Kinda sad to see that some RPG gamers can't ar won't admit that blizzard star is fading away. And i'm happy to see titles of biggest gaming websites: "Diablo's Best Competitor Announces its Fourth Expansion", "Crawl through dungeons dark and nasty in new ‘Path of Exile’ expansion", "Path of Exile's free new Ascendancy expansion looks roguelike-like". It's kinda saying: "Nah blizzard.... u have to try better in D4 or D6 ! " Very Happy And it's good for us - gamers. Better content is always welcomable Wink

I wholeheartedly support competition. If GGG can put up such a good fight, then it would only mean good things for the genre. However right now, the 2 best ARPGs in the market are like in the complete opposite of the spectrum. PoE is too time consuming and casual unfriendly with its no respec, D3 is too casual friendly with its scale-able difficulty.

I see the merit of both and I do think they are both great games right now. But if they just take up their own niche, its not much of a competition. Maybe Grim Dawn could hit the middle ground, but that thing has to come out first...

Or PoE and D3 can just push themselves a little bit closer to each other, that would be great.
