the driver update is not needed, in fact the latest Nvidia driver is one of the most unstable ever. If you don't have a 5000 series, i'd hold off

I should have watched a video which I did not. Got a mercenary and had no clue what to do, thought hire was just hire and go on your way. Not so lol.

a merc in act 4 had 2 exalts on him, he wasn't even an infamous one, but i think there is a "named" tier above infamous, because he one-shot my ass like i was a trash mob. that was my only death until maps. SRS+Herald of Purity+Absolution is EZ leveling for any build, don't even have to be invested in minions. The fallen paladin merc with absolution is retardedly powerful. There was also a nice tanky one with enduring cry for perma endurance charges.

Got pretty lucky getting a mirror arrow of bombarding from 3rd lab (random of color, not exact trans gem) so tomorrow I'll start buying the gear and making the switch to BAMA.

Volcanic Snekking is awesome, farmed Lab 1 5 times and got one. Too bad the servers are fucked, keep getting rolled back. Only in act 6 so not losing maps at least due to it. But annoying enough that I'll take a small break.

I've lost 70% of my maps to crashes/rollbacks. The "perfect" kind of rollback... you know... where you open a map, get about halfway through, then crash and when you come back you have none of the loot you picked up in the map, the portals are gone AND the map you opened is also gone.

I actually ran out of maps because of this and might just wait a few days til I can just buy a power farmer starter set for something with the 1div and 40chaos I farmed up in the campaign from the mercs and their gear.

They definitely, finally, for once nailed the early league mechanic and interaction. It's painless to interact with, easy to skip if you want to, and is highly rewarding.

Agree. Really cool how I know the mercs to check too because they follow a scheme/archetype

It's the most fun I've had interacting with a league mechanic during the campaign probably ever. I remember doing Act 4 Malachi during Affliction and I had sprinkled enough wildwood dust on him that every single mechanic was a one-shot. Having a fresh league mechanic make you feel like a big ol retard for even clicking on it is not rare in PoE.

It really doesn't matter but I noticed on my server list when letting it pick "the best" I get D.C. now all day yesterday even though I'm in TX and it's normally TX. For a while late last night I tried it again and it went to CA.

Got to act 9 last night on sunder berserker (going vfos soon), had 2 deaths both one shots from mercs even with pretty good HP, resists and armor. I like the mechanic a lot so far, more for taking their items and pockets than actually using them though. I'm assuming once I stop outleveling them so quickly and can focus on gearing them they'll become more of an asset.

I had no crashes or disconnects yesterday, hoping that stays the same today.

14h? These guys are at 2 voidstones way faster than that. Shit it still takes me 7h to get through campaign and I could *probably* get eater and exarch down at around 14h.

Unless you meant ubers

He meant Ben beating the new bosses.

On HCSSF at that, with 3 brand new bosses with one shot mechanics. Ben is on his own level though.

Jungroan blasted through SC insanely fast, kept seeing notifications in game of him being first to every zone pretty much.
