Wolcen Hype Release!

Bane of Tyranny isn't just getting nerfed...it's getting absolutely wrecked. It's in the notes for the next update. Plaguebringer likely won't stay the way it is much longer either.

One thing I will say is the first act boss is quite the noob crusher.

I've read that in multiple places and that hasn't been my experience at all. Fight seems fair.

It's fair if you haven't already wrecked your build up to that point. Knowing when to move out of the way also helps a lot. Noobs struggle with both of those things... :P

You coming off as a paid shill right about now, lol.

Except you fucking know I'm not. If anything, the opposite.

So, yeah.

Nice seeing you around various platforms shitting on the game btw. Good to see you care. ^_^

I gotta look out for my fellow gamers and let them know exactly what they are buying into.

I'm as disappointed as the next guy; I was hoping for something new. But, looks like I'll be waiting on Torchlight 3. I did buy Grim Dawn eventually because of this.

Unlike a lot of these people, I dont believe PoE is some bastion of glory anymore. But, this aint it, chief.

Even with the servers working the negative reviews still outnumber the positive reviews. So the game's problems are much deeper.

Wolcen was good enough to make me want to play arpgs again but not good enough to make me want to play Wolcen itself beyond the first few hours. It doesn't even have fishing.

I'm coming back to PoE. Lots to relearn and I have a lot less time than I did, but still, Wolcen reminded me how much I love PoE. <3

old gang rise up!

I uploaded a video, here's my Spin-to-Win build:

Level 73 against level 136 mobs with full mission mods. It can certainly go farther.

Yep, this 'endgame'/alternate leveling mode is as much fun as I expected it to be. Challenging too, if you step outside the current obvious meta builds. I like how the mandates/expeditions are designed for higher level characters but you can still do them as a new character. Facing beefy champions/elders at low level with crappy gear really forces you to learn their moves and patterns. I imagine Uber Hillock junkies might appreciate this.

There are decent endgame activities that I'm enjoying.

I like the S+ reward tier that rewards skill enabling items. Finding a shield with bulwark of the dawn, is ridiculous. (You can use genesis stones too in crafting)

I do like the focused "exalted" slams that take into account the gems you have socketed.

The town building is so basic, I dont know why I'm enjoying selecting build items and missions that passively happen (maybe because I like turn based strategy and 4x games too?)

Having gem tiers and ilvl stat enhancements do reward you pushing further.
