Patch 0.10.3 Deployment Schedule and Other News!

Ancestral: Everyone's a templar. Instead of complaining about mana, your character begs for coffee/pain relievers. Attack speed is reduced because of advanced arthritis. Stun and stun duration on players is increased by 500%, and stun threshold is reduced by 70%. You have to walk up hills both ways to farm ledge.


EDIT: Also movement speed reduction and a greater chance to get Regret orbs.

Chris, to honour my incredible awesomeness, I request a new league race type - Ironman. You have one hit point and no energy shield.

Blood Magic doesn't sound like a challenge, though. Remember how your ethos was to make all challenge events harder rather than easier? This would mean that you don't have to go all the way down to the Blood Magic keystone to have it. I propose a change to this league - instead of "spend life instead of mana", change it to "spend life in addition to mana". If you don't have enough of both, you can't cast the spell.

**Paperman. FTFY.

I've noticed a lot of desync issues today. Any comments on that?

Downloading porn while playing PoE doesn't help the situation. Sorry bud.

Lets start a guessing game on ancestral. maybe it does have to do with uniwues, like only unique items drop or something

Ancestral is not going to be only uniques, unless they delete the characters after the race which I very much doubt.

I think it will have to do with totems. Like totems in every room from the start!

Ancestral: This is Wraeclast 2,000,000 B.E. (before exiles). All enemies are replaced with dinosaurs.

I'm hoping it's going to be a throwback to the Diablo 2 mod Ancestral Recall. That would mean the possibility of taking all the side dungeons and making a very nasty Megadungeon with them each act.

That meant you could choose whether you wanted to go the normal way through or risk the dangers of the megadungeon where you'd also get the required quest rewards for progression, but the monsters were unexpected new things.

That mod was also the first one I played where the devs dropped new crafting items in.

I know I'm intrigued.

Ancestral: You find out that Piety is actually your long lost mother. All of the events in which she talks to you are replaced with loving messages. She leaves you cookies and gives you a Kaom's Heart instead of fighting you in act 3. Vaal Construct is somehow your crazy uncle.
