Announcing the Prophecy Challenge Leagues and 2.3.0 Content Update

You're the best GGG!

Hm, not sure if (constant) asset loading in the background will lead to better gameplay experience esp on slower machines. Id rather prefer longer loading times at points where it doesnt hurt (loadingscreen) than lag caused by I/O operations during essential gameplay.
PoE is even w/o loading quite laggy on sub par machines when multiple corpses have to be rendered etc. really dont want additional load on the cpu while in maps then.. will see.

ps. what zoomfactor is that @ ~0:45 in the teaser vid? wtb that in game ;)

Really hyped about it, on paper it looks great! Really love the uniques' upgrade, wow!
Good that you're nerfing chaos conversion and not pure chaos dmg; will see what your ascendancy rework will bring... Only thing I'm not hyped about, the full respec, will it be mandatory or optional?

Two more questions :
- with the passive respec will we be able to change class entirely ( e.g. from ranger to shadow?) probably not, but if you plan to change how an ascendancy is entirely, you should consider giving those with that particular ascendancy(ies) this option imho
- really considering to buy the supporter pack; will it still be available after June 3rd? Can't do it right now...

there are no new arias inside 8(

Common ggg give us melee builder a gem that convert phy dmg into chaos dmg, support or aura gem. Like added fire, hatred and phys to lightning. Were missed that one.

Chaos is supposed to be different from elemental damages.
There is already one support gem to create chaos from phys and more than one skill gem.
GGG is nerfing the face the there are too many conversion to chaos souce, or that they are too powerful already, and Chris stated that Chaos was different from elemental damage and was supposed to be like this and that they will keep supporting that id.

So no, not happening ever imho.

Well at least give as a unique 2h weapon w/ high phys and chaos dmg. All unique that convert phys to chaos dmg has consequence. Poison and added chaos? Not really give us dps. The only thing gives boost to us is aztiris promise and taste of hate.

Oh hells yes!! :-D

afaik, you always can.
Wether you would need to re-ascend ( so re-do lab ) would be the question then I guess.
Since in the new leagues, we will only need to ascend on one char ( or if the wording is incorrect, ascend through the labyrinth ), I guess we will not need to re-do it in this case =).
But a confirmation would be nice indeed.

That is definitely a possibility I think =).
There is at least already one league specific unique ( I got it with brodilo this league, maybe possible through Wana I guess ) 1H or 2H sword that has nice chaos damage I think, not a BiS item of course ( flat roll, not physical to chaos conversion ).
The name of the unique is Edge of Madness.

Poison can give you dps, but it needs to be built around.

Reduced lab time. Check
Endgame alternative. Check
Ascendancy Balance. Check
Overall performance improvement. Check

Someone at GGG is seriously listening. There is still hope.

Signed :D
