[Megathread] Path of Exile

[crono14]

Not my forums, that is just the responses i see when this question comes up in others. Do i think some of the other forums need to be closed (LOL, DOTA, RIFT, SWTOR), of course. Do i think there should be some new subforums? Yea. Do i think POE's megathread is active enough to warrant one? No. Its only active before and just after a new league then it dies down and falls off the front page of the VG Discussion for a few weeks.

That could be because there is only a megathread and not a dedicated section. Most people probably don't know it even exists.

Well considering there are forums for Rift, Minecraft, and DoTA2 which aren't really used, I don't see the downside of trying.

Not sure on account carry overs I'm afraid.

TBH, my account is pretty shit anyway

And how easy is it to fix a "dud" if I mess up?

I will have a gander at builds. Right now it's definitely Ranger. Only other thing I have in mind is Witch.

Hmm, go too far in a bad skill tree and it can be costly. You get some respec points through the campaign and can use other regret orbs. That's really the main thing that can costly, gear can be swapped accordingly.

What you don't want is to finish the campaign (which can be done with trash builds) get into mapping and realize how squish your toon is.

So with all the changes that have happened since I last played, and in prep for the new changes coming, I was going to hop in and start playing again. This process also included updating one of the build guides I made on the official forums. However, while I can edit my main post, I am unable to make a new comment on it, nor can I reply to anybody. It says I don't have permission. My account isn't locked or anything, I can make posts in other threads just fine. Just not in one that I authored. Anyone have an idea as to why, or if there's a way to fix it? The thread isn't locked, to my knowledge, someone made a post in it I believe last month.

Eh. Give it a few months, typically every major expansion/patch they give us free respecs anyway. I just logged in the other day for the first time in about 4 months and all of my characters had been reset. I've never used regret orbs for anything other than a minor tweak here and there.

Accounts on PC, Xbox and PS4 are all separate. If you start on another platform, it will be a fresh account. There were some interviews about it.

Champion, thanks. Little sad to leave my pc account behind (it’s been active since early beta), but I kinda want a fresh start anyway.

Sadly, stash tabs and mtx are completely separate between accounts, not sure if GGG support offers transfers between versions.

No problem. Only thing that really sucks is if you have been playing for years and also spent some money for stash tabs and MTX, as you wont have those on the other platforms obviously. But if you wanted to start fresh anyways, I guess its a good time to choose one of the consoles.. otherwise you can still just create a completely new account on the PC version aswell

Only MTX I have are the ones that come free with seasonal achieves. So it’s no big deal to leave that behind.

Oh man...I know that's going to be in the cash shop but hot damn does that look great.

GGG freakin kills it with their cosmetic items.

[NoiseTank13]

Lancing Steel and Shattering Steel look really lame.

I purchased an Acer predator x34 recently. Had been playing on a 7 year old 24" up til that point (even though I have like.. 2x GTX1080). My jaw literally dropped. The game is gorgeous when you allow it to.

You are talking about the portal device? if so it's not an MTX it's just the second skin for the decoration.

Also, you can now apparently move the portal location when rotating AND you cna move the waypoint

[NoiseTank13]

Well. Doesn't this put pepper in the gumbo.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to show off with this, but looking at that enchant...+1 to MINIMUM Endurance charges? As in, you always have at least 1 active? Please tell me I'm reading that right.

Looks like. Not seeing it as that great outside of some synergy maybe.

I haven't played PoE in many many years.
At the time there was some major desync issues, has it been sorted since?

I wanna give it another whirl.

They added lockstep wich eliminated desync, assuming you can actually use it.

Desync wasn't really a problem with the game, it was a latency issue, and a lot of people were playing on shit connections coupled with poor playstyle (trying to sprint through packs of monsters etc).

IF your connection is still giving you a latency of 100ms regularly it defaults to predictive sync (desync mode)
If you are under 100ms then you should be defaulted to lockstep
Any lag spikes/packet loss in lockstep is VERY noticeable as it causes the game to freeze/stutter until the connection catches up.

I have a crappy internet and I only experience some minor rubberbanding once in a while. Seems to be mostly fixed now.
