A while back, I was messing around with Udio and had the thought of the AI making a song. After some tinkering around, this was the end result. It's got a few issues here and there, but I was amused at how many references it was able to make to the game while not sounding like garbage.
With the hype building for the new league, I've had this thing stuck in my head so figured why not spread the joy.
One thing that struck me as odd while viewing the exilecon streams is that PoE Mobile takes place in the past while PoE 2 takes place in the future, yet the two are being developed in tandem with many features of one being incorporated into the other.
So, we end up in a situation where, in the past, exiles can dodge roll and pick up valuable gold that drops. Decades later exiles are bartering and flame dashing around the landscape. A few more decades go by and exiles are dodge rolling and picking up gold again.
It started out with a perfect quant/rarity Ventor's Gamble with over 100% ele resist dropping.
Then in the next map...a Mirror of Kalandra decides to drop.
At the end of that map, my Enlighten gem levels to 3, and then vaals to 4.
A few maps later, a Cortex drops.
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with this newfound wealth...suddenly just about any build is within my grasp.
GGG changed so many things that there's no way I'll be able to try out all the builds I want to. Bows are looking primo. Abyss unique set gonna be expensive, but interesting. Hierophant's got some kind of MoM Arcane Surge potential. Saboteur will have trigger shenanigans and maybe even some traps too. Toss in the new Vaal skills, some crazy new tech folks have been theorycrafting, and oh yeah...the entirety of the Crucible mechanic...and there's just an insane amount of diversity here begging to be explored. As someone who only plays a few builds every league, there's no way I'll be able to mess with half of what's here before the next league where we'll have a bunch more ascendancy alterati
They've recently sneaked in some extra changes to the patch notes that affect rogue exiles in maps. For too long, rogue exiles have been stomped on mercilessly, but now...well...not much is gonna change, but at least for lower investment they might be able to last a little while? Might make specing into Rogues on the Atlas passive tree more spicy, if nothing else. What do you think of these changes? I quite like them!
I'm not going to apologize for any of this, I'm bored at work. This is not a serious post, although it is not outside the realm of reason that some discussion could accidentally happen.
*ahem*
It has come to my attention that GGG has made certain alterations to non-alteration orbs. In my opinion, they did not go far enough, and are missing a golden opportunity to shake things up even further.
Scrolls of Wisdom and Portal Scrolls - Since the dawn of time, the bedrock of currency has been the humble Scroll of Wisdom. I propose that they swap positions such that vendoring 3x Portal scrolls will give you a Scroll of Wisdom and so on. New players can more freely teleport back to town to
Through the magic of anagrams, I have once more uncovered the truth behind the new league. Here are the top truths I was able to discover.
Karaoke And Fall - Clearly, singing will be important this league, but not all builds will be able to hit the right notes and will be mobbed to death.
A Dark Fallen Oak - He's tired of exiles not helping him and is going to do whatever it takes to get revenge!
Lake Of Dark Anal - What happens in Kalandra's lake, stays in Kalandra's lake.
Koala Dank Flare - Delve rework is here, and Einhar approves. Something something 420.
A Knead Loaf Lark - In addition to singing and merriment, exiles will enjoy a new baking minigame. Per
For time immemorial, the poe subreddit have sought an answer to one of the most important questions asked in the modern era, "What is Sentinel league?"
After countless moments of tireless study, I believe myself to have stumbled upon answers previously unknown, using a method by which will soon be disclosed. For you see, the secret, lay in the notion that words have power. Many have poked and prodded at the definition of the word 'Sentinel', pouring over dictionary definitions and prior game mechanics. I am not here to retread old ground, but rather to take things a step further beyond. Words, as can be conclusively demonstrated, contain not just the power of meaning, but letters as well.
This is what I've cobbled together so far for an early league pre-crit transition for Galvanic Arrow given what I know of the changes for 3.17
I opted for Champion over more traditional bow ascendancies due to the nature of the skill being more melee-range than other options coupled with the massive defensive boosts offered by Champion. I also have simulated taking the new "Increases and Reductions to Projectile Speed also apply to Damage with Bows" mastery, as well as left a point free to take the new Precise Technique keystone (I hear it will be where Wind Dancer currently is).
I like where the defenses are at, and Projecti
Since this league will primarily focus on exiles being as deeply surrounded by fog as long as possible, I thought it might be worth considering the aesthetic properties it would offer when contrasted with the bright and colorful options we've got available, be they the base skill or an mtx enhanced version.
My initial thought were that purple skills like soulrend or bane would match nicely, and it doesn't hurt that they're reasonable starters too.
Minions are also going to be superb choices if one aspires to paying homage to classic horror elements.
Orange fire-based effects of pretty much any fire skill will likely pop out nicely too, as where there's smoke, there's fire.
I'm a little
That way, whenever anyone goes "Patch notes when?" They can go "Yes, Patch Notes Wednesday!"
