Path of Exile

That's a nice change for the most part, but I'm willing to bet the % of people who get to yellow maps without having done lab4 is minimal. That channel that floods your screen with x/y/z trial here, if you want them done can be done pretty much immediately

In all my years and years of playing PoE, I have never, not once, had an issue getting the 6 trials. During a single league it took a little longer to get the last one and I was asking myself if This Is The Time but, nope, was just a little bit.

I understand that, statistically, it could take forever to get all 6, but with the size of the player base I remain suspect that this has ever been endemic, based solely on my own anecdotal evidence of course (lol).

I had a couple of leagues probably several years ago with real map sustain issues, but that was fixed.

It's pretty lame for SSF is the biggest thing. The few gauntlets and race leagues etc I played in it was a pretty huge cockblock depending on your build, as trying to progress in to yellows got pretty hard when you're missing a ~30% more damage node or whatever.

Now if they have something up their sleeve for 6 linking I may actually just play SSF for real.

SSF can be a pita depending on your luck. One time I had 5, and it took me around 200 maps to get swirling fear which was the last one I needed, was 91 time I got it.

I've also been over level 90 a few leagues because i can't find the last trial and too lazy to /820

Now It's gonna be so much easier...chances are if you use your zana mission on a t5 map you'll probably see a t6 map from the selection that wants you to do a lab.

Stacking scarabs/incubators/fragments will be nice. Not sure how incubators work considering they have different ilvls.

Man, stacking scarabs. They're really pulling out all the stops this time.

These types of changes make me think that Expedition was way worse financially than they expected. Be interesting to see the numbers on Friday 22nd and through the first week.

A financially motivated company would not make armor variety and sacred orbs. I want to support them for some recent changes. But I won't until this kind of stuff stops happening. Line item supporter pack when?

A post mortem, so to speak, will be quite interesting. It almost feels like there are distinct forces at work pushing different design goals.

Yea Chris was playing D2R a couple weeks ago and traded a 15% ED archon plate for his first Vex and demanded they add that system to the game.

Then the actual devs had to come up with a way for it to actually fit in PoE.

Ok I'm kinda hyped for scourge league, especially after how lame last league was.

Lot of people in the twitch stream waiting, currently 118k.

Oh I think it's live, must have fucked up the time - doh.

ya its happening, its like all good stuff so far, kinda crazy.

Boo, missed almost all of the live stream thinking it'd load in the steam window. Nice to see the change about things dropping in larger amounts so its not hunt and peck clicking
