Total Eclipse of the Heart, the last song played in all of my early high school dances! The following 80s ballad is not only awesome, but has a special young lady in this video.

Rock of Ages was voted the #1 song of 1983 in small town Nova Scotia. On Through The Night was one of the first cassettes I owned.

I am not sure your comments about buying currency and, evidently, an entire character really fit the typical PoE conversation around here. I don't know about everyone else, but this was my reaction to both comments: By the by, I lucked into a Eater Shrine rewarding Divines in a map today and...

I used to LOVE Cyclone. And my league starter for probably 4 years was Ancestral Totem. I am no stranger to the left and bottom of the skill tree. I also did RF for about 3 leagues until GGG started making league mechanics that made it basically worthless. Sentinel was a real kick in the...

That video posted earlier was great overall advice on the TOTA, outside of the silly build he was running. I went from banging my head against the wall to winning super easy. I haven't done it much because the mechanic itself is not really in my wheelhouse of interest, but now that I am...

I am running that and the no reroll +100% extra favor and cleaning out the inventory each run. Nothing really good has come out of it so far, but it has been interesting.

That's exactly what I was thinking - this feels like an only downward Delve in terms of difficulty curve. There is a reason GGG made a great ARPG but have not made a game in any other genre.......... When starting a league, do you typically go through yellow maps before you branch out of a...

Yeah it was a mid 70s level Heist where I dropped that mirror last league. Edit - I am cruising through yellow maps on my EA Totem league starter saving up currency to equip this a little better and then try one more for fun. I was thinking that cold dot elementalist I see everywhere, but I...

As a mostly casual player, even I know to not touch most of the mechanics in the game until at least maps. Come on guys, what the hell??

Welp, my old starter go-to used to be Ancestral totems, and of late it has been EA totems...and looks like that remains constant. Once I sold a mirror last league I was able to buy my way to a high-end build but I still burned out relatively quick and didn't even have the incentive to finish...

I quit two weeks ago and started playing Season 18 of freaking Hero Siege and am having a lot more fun lol. This game came out in 2013 and this was the first time I realized it had a D2 clone ladder season; I always just puttered around with it offline. Pretty sure it cost me $5 on a sale at...

I fucking LOVE pickled beets. One Thanksgiving I ate a metric ton of them and later went for a pee and it was reddish. I panicked for a moment, then remembered the full container of beets I consumed. Was a real scary moment! I will say that if I ever pissed brown, I would certainly panic.

Came here looking for confirmation bias and found it. I got to about level 45 with my barbarian and noticed things slowing down substantially. By the time I hit mid-47, it was taking me forever to kill trash mobs and I rage quit in the middle of a dungeon and haven't logged back in since...

To sum up the last several posts, Blizzard is incapable of understanding what "fun" playstyles are like, and so every fucking build in this game has some sort of inherent sad trombone facet that sucks the life out of it. And the resource maintenance in this game is bullshit. Just give us mana...

I didn't like Halls of Torment. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but the pacing of the monsters was too dense at times to where it just felt unfair. The "loot" is pretty sparse, they should have leaned into this facet a lot harder. And the "skills" you get are about as meh as they come. I...

Goddamn - I decided to stop playing until the new season, since I am just going to do the same build, but read the Lilith statues and map clears carry over to seasons. What a boring goddamn task to run around the overworld clicking on statues and exposing corners of the map. It's too goddamn...

Yeah, I would definitely echo a lot of people's comments about EQ. I was lucky that I was 28 when it was released and just got out of a 5 year relationship. She was still a friend and used to complain that my phone was always busy until I finally got cable optical internet lol. I recall...

The barbarian sounds like he was voiced by a hoarse Keanu Reeves. Exact same cadence and stilted pace. It was distracting! Welp, I finished the campaign at level 47 and started working for the damn Tree. That campaign was a SLOG, and I cannot imagine ever wanting to do it again. Is there...

So, hilariously, I swore I wasn't going to get this. Then I had just the most brutal three days at work and said Fuck it. And, first it asked me to update my drivers for my 3080 Ti. Um, ok. Now I cannot get in because it looks like their Subscription Servers have been fucked for a couple of...

Lineage 2. So ridiculous. When Korean grind fests were about the PAIN.

Oh man - I splurged on a high elem DPS bow and followed a vaal ice shot build. Hilarious. A true glass cannon, with 3,100 hps. But the best clear speed I have ever had. Hilariously, once I got to maps I dipped my toe in slowly like I always do, then realized I wanted to fill out my Pantheon...

The last phase can suck my dick. I did one this morning, first two phases area easy peasy, barely even got hit. But doing that memory game while the degen bars float around, and damage flies from everywhere is just fucking stupid. The person who designed Sirus def designed this fight. I...

I've only done her twice before and once was with RF which is REALLY not good because of the degen beams. So she and I don't have a lot of history lol.

Well shit, I've finally managed to do the Elderslayers and the Twisted, not sure I have managed that in the past. I want to do the Maven, but I am in such a good mood right now that I don't want to ruin it with that fucking memory game. I am sitting on two invites, so I suppose I have to do it...

I only stayed because I got rich and bought an expensive bow and amulet for my build making me more powerful than ever before. Otherwise I was out long ago. I'm still sitting on 165 div or so thinking what else I should build.

Best narrator ever returns. I hope this is good, the first holds a special place in my heart, to be sure. I am a cheap old bastard (with too many games to play) so I will be holding off for a while, reading this thread regularly for updates!

One of these days I am going to have to dedicate myself to a full playthrough of this great game. I've installed it on every computer I've bought in the last several years but never got very far.

Either luck, or they changed the drop rate - I personally don't recall seeing a key drop at all to date and I've gotten two this league. They are definitely a novelty and I am unsure what supports their sale price beyond that.

Having this many Div's, I now understand how people go broke after winning the lottery. I did some serious redneck shopping for my build, and damn the prices.

I took @Arbitrary 's advice and sold it for chicks and blow.

Well shit boys, after 3,000 hours of play on Steam, and who knows how many on the launcher since 2013, I actually had a Mirror drop. Complain about dry drops in a league, and apparently you get rewarded. In a Level 77 Grand heist, of all things. I ran out of there without claiming my gem...

Well, one thing that's for sure, with an unrewarding league mechanic comes the dry times. Last league I had 6L's to choose from, about 6 raw Div drops, and even crafted a 6L not too much farther in than we are now. I have 1 Div and only some shit 6L weapon drops. I have ID'd every single...

While what this guy is saying is true, I can't help but be distracted by the caterpillars he seems to have grafted to his face in place of eyebrows. Is he related to Bert or something, albeit having shaved the monobrow into a dualbrow.

I am playing a bow fire-based build, and having added fire damage on any item reduces my DPS substantially. I have had 2 in-use bows get + fire damage in the first node. Annoying AF.

I was thinking about it this morning, and the reason this league is a bust for a normie scrub player like me is because once you have completed your equipment, the league is kinda/sorta done for you. Remember when people went apeshit when you had to use inventory space for NETS? Now in order...

Yeah I was fighting a crucible blue in Act 6 or something and a regular rare mob rolled in. The rare died in a few seconds, while I banged away at the crucible blue mob for another 30 seconds or so lol. I thought that pretty much exemplified the league tuning.

Cannot........let.......go...........of........button...........

Welp, nice to know GGG is always consistent in making the mechanic mobs overtuned so it is needlessly tedious in at least the lower leveling process. I am not sure I was even scratching them on the Coast, but at least wore through them in the Mud Flats. First PoE on my new computer though...

Welp, I did 3 builds to the mid 90's last league, and since poor RS got fucked by the league mechanic I am a little turned off with it at the moment. I DID enjoy Ziz's EA Champ and it was super easy to gear up, so I think I will start that for Crucible. It is very scrub-player accessible...
