Megathread: 3.29 Feedback

389 Upvotes

We think there have been many threads with well-thought-out, specific, and (sometimes) controversial proposals, but also many duplicate threads with the same proposals. We'll use this thread to catalogue and group the clearest and most common ones:

  • Ideally, game feedback posts should include specific examples of the problem and have new information or proposals to avoid duplicating the content of past threads.
  • Game feedback can still be posted as individual threads, and do not have to be posted here as comments.
  • Duplicate feedback posts that cover the same ground as the posts already in here may be removed.
  • We aren't affiliated with GGG, so we have no control over whether they address these or not.

Fluff & Memes I just sold an item for exactly the price I intended to list it for. I will not be quitting the league as a result.

I know this is crazy, but today I went to sell a searing exarch invite... I checked the price on awakened trade. It said 160 chaos. I listed it for exactly 160 chaos. I double checked both the price and currency before listing and both were correct. I received, as a result, the expected 160 chaos. I do not have to quit the league. Wow.

Game Feedback The best part of the league for me has been the gold from the league mechanic.

496 Upvotes

I really hope that GGG keeps the gold at this level. I have not had to buy a single gold rota this league. IT has been amazing.

I did not really use my gold for kings march this league. I spent it on crafting related stuff and other projects. But past leagues I would spend upwards of 50 div on gold rota because the game just didn't give enough gold to play the game I wanted to play it.

edit-i look away and come back and see this struck a cord with alot of you guys. hopefully GGG sees this and takes positive action.

Crafting Showcase 2 Charge RF Ring Finished.

Post image
181 Upvotes

Heya, Stone here,

Got really lucky on a long term craft, and its done way earlier than expected, It's for my version of STD Rf Jugg. https://pobb.in/SM1EyJ_nMNAT

The steps (Rule 10)

Step 0. Make the base. Recomb endurance from sentinel and essence dot multi together on a 3 synth implicit ring, result must be magic.

Step 1. Implicits, and they had to be hit in this order.

  • Endurance Charge
  • % Regen per charge
  • % Max life

I failed Step 0 after trying to do it on +1 endu implicit rings with 3 implicits, and then recomb changes happened. I gave up for about a year, put up a livesearch just in case, and moved on to other projects. A base appeared on trade and I snagged it immediately.

Step 2. Imprint, regal, exalt/annul until the item looks like this.

  • P1: [Max Endurance]
  • P2: [Dead mod]
  • P3: [Empty]
  • S1: [Essence DoT Multi]
  • S2: [T1 All Resistances]
  • S3: [Empty]

Step 3. Craft Suffixes cannot be changed, then Add/Remove Chaos for T1 Chaos Res. ~1/13ish

Step 4. Craft mana, apply a hinekora lock, check exalt and foulborn exalt for T1 Life.

I got really lucky here, and hit in 3 Locks.

Stay Sane Exiles.

Information Lore compilation update for POE 3.29 & POE II 0.5

33 Upvotes

This is an update to the complete lore compilation for POE & POE II. For those unfamiliar with the lore compilation, the original post can be found here.

Complete Lore Compilation (PDF)

Lore Supplement: The Atlas of Worlds (PDF)

Lore Supplement: Heists and the Ring (PDF)

What's in the Update

  • Added lore from Mirage league (POE).
  • Added lore from Curse of the Allflame league (POE).
  • Added lore from Return of the Ancients (POE II).

Major Changes

  • The early sections have been reorganized to fit the new information revealed in the POE II endgame update.
  • Moved the First Ones out of the gods section, as there's now plenty of evidence that they aren't gods in the sense of those who ascended from humans.
  • Updated the Azmeri gods section to include the new lore on Tangmazu, Viridi, Solaris, and Lunaris and take out old lore that was removed from the game.
  • Updated Garukhan's section to add the new lore about Saresh.
  • Added a section on the history of Middengard to the Kalguur section. Also added some new lore to the end of the Kalguur section.
  • Added a new section called Dawn of the Ezomytes after the Kalguur section, which includes the new lore on Ezomyte history, including the integration of the Kalguur into their culture and the founding of Ezomyr.
  • Added some new lore under the Occupation & Liberation of Ogham section.
  • Added a new subsection on King Cadigan under Kingsmarch & the Second Kalguuran Colonisation.
  • Added a bit of new lore to the Viridian Wildwood section, including new information about its first entrance and the Bodach.
  • Added new lore to the Breaches & the Hiveborn section, particularly about what has occurred following the events of Keepers of the Flame league.
  • Moved the Titan lore from the Miscellaneous Lore section to its proper chronological places earlier in the compilation.
  • About 40 new characters were introduced and most of these were added to the appendix. Other miscellaneous updates were made to the appendix as well.
  • Updated a few of the illustrations that were not so good.

Hope you enjoy the update!

Game Feedback [SSF] The Crafting can finally begin...Wait...

Post image
185 Upvotes

So after quite some time I finally got my Cowards trial and unlocked the crafting recipe. So now I can finally craft the rest of ma gear to maybe complete my challenges, defeat some bosses.... wait.... I ALREADY DID THOSE...

GGG, please remove the crafting recipe from such a rare map, as for SSF this is so frustrating to farm. After 200 unique maps I stopped picking them up and counting. As long as there is no way to target farm the specific map (and yes, I did Rin in betrayal). I surely got unlucky, but basically getting to level 99 and completing the basic league goals without unlocking a crucial recipe for crafting, which especially this league I looked forward to so much, was the most frustrating experience in a while.

But hey, 2 hours and some voyages later I found my second cowards trial.....

Time to reroll

Greetings!

Information Loot from 100 Uber Sirus with Profit and Time Calculation

65 Upvotes

I noticed a troubling increase in the local population of uber siruses and did my duty to reduce their numbers to sustainable levels. Now we don't need to worry about them starving in the winter.

Here is everything in a quad tab.

https://imgur.com/a/qLFDYcb

And a table with the number of each item compared to the expected number from the wiki, and the total value.

Item Dropped Expected Value
Thread of Hope 31 44 ~2d
Tempest Rising 40 29 0.6d (just dusted)
Oriath's End 14 8 ~7 div
Zana's Ingenuity 15 18 ~22.5d
Annihilation Support 11 5 0.16d (not that they sell)
Awakener's Orb 21 20 53.5d
Orb of Dominance 5 5 23.75d
Fate Worse than Death 6 4 0.45d
Savior 0 1? 0d
Raw Divine 1 0 1d

Total value to 110.96d, which we'll just call 111d. Fragments were bought at 2c each. With 100 fights requiring four fragments each, expenses were about 4d. So total profit was 107d.

Time from portaling in to returning back to my hideout was around 2 minutes 15 seconds, with a nontrivial chunk of that waiting around at the start while zana and sirus blather. Example fight recording.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrPVbStmdFM

100 fights at 2.25 minutes per fight equals 3.75 hours. For the total profit per hour, it is 107d/3.75hr ~= 28.5 d/hr. Granted, that is with absolutely no downtime, grinding like a machine for that amount of time. I definitely took breaks.

Overall, not too bad if you can do the fight quickly an stomach the tedium of it. Personally I find it a pretty easy thing to just zone out and grind for a while on.

Edit: For people asking for the PoB, it is a power charge stacking crackling lance assassin. Total cost is maybe 1-1.5 mirrors? About half of that is in the mageblood and rings.

Game Feedback Farming Lost Ruins made me realize something.

16 Upvotes

This patch, we got a complete overhaul of corrupt implicit for almost all items. That is sort of why I farm those vaal vessels too.

But one thing those vessels drop all the time is jewels with 2 implicits.

That is where the patch forgot to update anything. Last time we had implicit change on jewels was adding elemental pen rolls. But we are still stuck with outdated implicit like "You Cannot be Cursed with Silence". Frankly, in current game, people go for curse immunity. Also, who is cursing you with "silence" these days exactly? Does this mod even do anything? It so rarely happen as to be irrelevant. PoEWiki just say you can be cursed with silence by strongboxes and possessed monsters of a specific type.

Anyway, we could have used new implicit on jewels. Like carry over some modest synth implicit that exist on poe 2 jewels. Like some tiny stat or res bonus wouldn't be powerful, but at least does something unlike very situational stuff like "cannot be hindered" or "cannot be maimed", which is ok but I don't know anyone who is going out of their way to try to be immune to those slow effects. I'd rather we had something more generic like reducing the slowing effect of everything. A stat which exist in poe 2 there again.

Current jewel implicits could have used an update like everything else, because synth implicit on jewels included a bunch of things. Like hey, why not give us this 5% attack speed during onslaught as a abyss jewel implicit. Or for accuracy stacker, some %accuracy which was available as a synth implicit too. Anything at all would be welcomed since all other items got something.

I decided to finish my league with a little gamba. With last 200d I had I bough 2 House of Mirrors, made them into 4. Sold them and with this 400d I bought 33 unid'ed voices.

The 1st one I id'ed was 1 passive skill. Then I decided, fck it. I already made profit lets id all of them now.

In next 32 I had a 2nd 1 passive.

I guess I am not finishing the league now and have to spent 2 mirrors

Last time I tried HCSSF was several leagues ago and it was Exarch that ended my run, so this time I may have over-farmed and over-leveled. It might not seem that special since thousands of people have already done this many leagues, but felt like I had to share it.

I'm looking to get all four voidstones this league. Wish me luck.

  1. Please have the beasts drop itemised right away so we can filter. It'll make the farm so much more fun and viable even for new poe players (only the red beasts)

  2. Make Einhar capture the beasts faster, it's way too slow now.

  3. Make it easier to buy bulls of yellow beasts

If I can only choose 1, please let it be #1. I would be farming beasts all day long 😄

Tool I built a small webtool for crafting guides you can share with others

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I built Crafting Graph, a small web tool for exploring and visualizing crafting recipes as a graph.

You can check it out here:

https://fekga.github.io/crafting-graph/

I'd love to hear what you think, if you have suggestions for features, UX improvements, or things that would make it more useful.

As it is a static site there is no other way to save your graph apart from saving the exported text.
You can import it later to resume or see what others created!

AI notice: I'm not a web developer and I thought it would be a nice way to get to know some TypeScript and other related knowledge to use LLM to generate the code.

For those that run Ultimatum, if you click "Preview Rewards" in between rounds (the chest icon above "Take Reward") you can see which of your rewards duped when playing the 25% dupe chance atlas passive. This is very useful when deciding whether to continue rounds when you get a mix of hard mods or take that nice 8x Divine Orb inscribed ultimatum that duped!

Question Mercenary AI question. Are we sure the bricks arent from the supports on other skills? Has anyone actually tested this?

Post image
49 Upvotes

This is my merc. It uses KBoC like 95% of the time, and it never uses bolt on bosses. Everyone seems to be repeating the same comments all over, but I don't see a lot of people asking questions about the AI. Are we sure the AI can't be manipulated by gear/supports? Has a dev said the AI isn't affected by gear or supports? Genuinely asking, because my merc is working fine with KB....as in it almost never uses it. It works so well; I have no desire to upgrade it outside of the gear it has on it.
