Yeah, I drowned in my first Chart, not knowing it starts to (quickly!) close immediately on the last torch, and now I just drop that last torch right beside the sphere. The mechanic is okay, and you can gather a quad tab full of rares in record time just scouting the Charts, but scouting the...

Yeah, I am killing T15 easy but occasionally die, espeically if there is some form of slow during the boss fight. For the Rites leading up to Bodach, the stacking bosses didn't bother me until a chill zone on the floor got in the way - although I ended up running them at T14 because I am still...

I bounced off the game at the Bodach. My build could not do it. Or, more accurately, my build combined with the way I play, meaning I refuse to dodge around for 15 minutes trying to avoid one shots and doing tiny bits of damage at a time. I had even recently upgraded all my gear before the...

Well he was ahead on levels so maybe someone close behind called their fav GGG employee and got them to pull some plugs

Son of a......finally hit the end of Act 1 and kicked for maintenance. I realized awhile ago that I am a non-hardcore gamer as I only get to about the end of Act 1 or 2 on the first day of a league. Don't have the butt-in-seat endurance I used to.

Neversink's filter is called Moist Boat league lol. P.S. No queue now on California server.

Boneshatter is always a go to league starter, breezes the campaign and early maps. The change to sockets makes it even easier to keep a good axe rolling. But since I always like to follow a meta build that will have expensive top gear but cheaper hand-me-downs, I expect I will go winter-orb...

They've been nerfing Hiero and kinetic spells pretty regularly for the last 2 leagues, ever since I started maining one. If you want a skill nerfed, just let me know and I will play it this league - it will be sure to be nerfed afterwards.

Yes, he is a strange dude, and I hated him when I first saw him. He has gotten more bearable over time, but the lisp is endlessly annoying.

If you watch this series, it is not only often hilarious, but also showcases some interesting variety (and meta) builds.

Every once in a while a singular item can drop with pretty nice rolls. I am not an armor user but not bad: Also, tried my 4th Sekhemas trial, died on the final fucking boss with 20% health left. I got major shafted on the last 4 rooms leading into the fight. Bullshit.

Well, I got bored with the 400 games in my Steam Library and needed a break from War Thunder, so I bit the bullet and installed and played PoE2 for the first time since 0.1. And you know what? Not bad, GGG, not bad. The campaign is still a slog, mostly because I had to full clear everything...

The Youtube algorithm put a video titled "I watched Supergirl and I Liked It" with 664 views and 18k subs into my view recommendations. I have watched a lot of shit hating on this movie, so it ain't my watch history. Very, very suspicious. Also, I read the comment section on this video and it...

Ding, reach level 10. Receive achievement. 20.2% of people reached level 10. Yeesh!

The upgrades to the altar event item drops are significant from epic to legendary once you hit VT 100+: Been farting around in the Northern Wastes doing a quest line there to get into a dungeon I think? The Northern Gate Guard in Winterforge refuses to drop legs for anyone except my druid...

Man, this game plateaus at a very specific point as mentioned - Morwyn and Hrimsorr. Everything else is easy and on farm. That jump in challenge is jarring. Currently 94 veteran points, and not a lot of points that will make either of those two fights easier. I suppose at 166 hours in, that...

Yeah, like Kirun said, crafting is pretty supplemental, like cooking food, making potions and scrolls for buffs and useful spells. Items are pretty exclusively farmed off mobs. I think each class probably gets a quest line to make a single item; dwarf warrior was a crown that ended abruptly...

After having the Spirit of the Forest drop the SAME items three times in a row, it dropped about 6 items in the 5th kill with the hide. I guess that tracks with the 20% drop rate. FINALLY.

This: The Ancient Kingdom's Bible And read the thread, it ain't long, and some tips have been dropped here and there. And ask questions as you like! There's not a lot out there on this game.

I'm tired, boss.

Oh and the Ancient Cyclops's legendary drop is a sweet, sweet warrior artifact:

I think I bought the cheapest horse in my late 30's, early 40s? Then I didn't think about it again until I had more than enough to buy the fastest. Sell everything. Eventually, when you need it, you should have enough storage to hold stuff. I now have 9/10 tabs, and they are all full except...

Well, I did some light reading of the Steam threads on Ancient Kingdoms - looks like ToV was explicitly created for online groups. They say that some dragons have been beat by merc groups but it is very hard. There was also a comment on the overtuning of Morwynn, hopefully that gets fixed...

Soooooooo........I've collected 68 of these Radiant Aethers and tonight decided to find out what they are for....perhaps crafting. No, as a matter of fact, you keep them in your inventory: Edit: Also, tried Hrimsor the giant caster boss, and that fear resist stance may have some value after...

Got the giant king, but of course he dropped druid chest. The hardest part is clearing the room without aggroing everything and the boss; the fire casters do a ton of damage and getting two in a fight is even a bit of a challenge. Went to try the giant caster boss but that room with the...

I gotta say, the hardest basic gear-slot to upgrade is bracer. My warrior is still running this, my last blue equipment item: Also, as an aside, I killed Avatar of Water. Bosses with AoE require careful placement. Pulling the Avatar of Water to the hallway protected most of my mercs from...

FINALLY! The Draconium ore circle in NE Northern Wastes is actually pretty easy, decent xp from mobs (I got 1.5 veteran points doing it) and the panthers drop lots of meat for cooking (move speed food). Edit - my bind is in the city in Northern Wastes (Felarii) and typically every time I die...

Gold income seems VERY low at the beginning but will pick up. I have 8 bank slots and 230 k saved up right now. You need to make sure you have banked money to revive your mercs and repair your items when you wipe. In retrospect, you are better off to sell everything until you know you need...

This wait for the second key-holder spawn in the Vault of the Vanished is bullshit. 50% spawn chance my ass. Edit - I knew it - as soon as I complained it spawned lol.

Urzak with a dispel scroll for the Primal Fury during Enrage is easy-peasy. Stack in a Scroll of Lethargy for good measure. Tried Avatar of Water blind, realized he has a problematic AOE that needs to be countered. I farmed for a couple more tries at him later. Kragek has dropped gloves for...

Cashed in all my Adventurer Guild runes for, well, basically loot boxes. Among the random augments were a couple of interesting items with great resists. Took a small drop in hp as that artifact is more a caster item: Also this:

Ah yes, so I put my Winterforge fatecharm in my primary backpack and make my way to Captain Kragek. On the way the guards drop 2 ranger set boots. Kragek drops that pos +40 char ring and............Ranger set gloves. Welp, that's enough for me for tonight. RNGesus just laughing it up.

I am 47 VT I think? I have a Dawnstone, but haven't seen the Staff of Flowers yet. Duly noted. It's funny how the typical end game routine in a game like this is ultimately comparable across players - Fabled Lizardmen + Ssaryx, Kragek, do-able world bosses and Sunken Temple is my current...

Well I killed Pyroth (he didn't drop his quest item), Nyxarion (only issue was the fear but powered through), and tried Urzak: his Primal Fury skill is a MUST INTERRUPT during enrage. And there is enough lag that properly stun countering a skill is difficult. So I died. The Primal Fury skill...

Wow, Ancient Cyclops was surprisingly easy. I geared past him clearly. That staff has some serious gear score lol - my wizard now has an iLvl greater than me. Based on Kirun's comments, I am going to try Urzak next. Edit - thought I would run the fabled lizardmen before bed, and lucked...

Sorry for spam replies, but I need some clarity. For instance, with Overseer Garok in the orc fortress, should I be cycling through the zone clearing respawns, waiting for him to spawn, or is it the same chance as on paid reset?

I second Kirun's recommendation. I scattered in Adventurer quests occasionally just to avoid burning out on the zone.

Good to know, thanks. Managed to kill Sszaryx, he wasn't as hard as I expected. Of course he dropped his boot item, and my entire party has set boots from Winterforge. Mf'er. Clearly not an upgrade:

Got some Lizard fabled upgrades, but I am still behind the Kirun curve, around 13.4 k hps without potions or food. Only 299 constitution, what a scrub! And this helped my cleric a ton: Haven't seen the Avatar of Water item spawner yet, cleared it maybe 4 times so far? Going after...
