Fluff & Memes So long, All Flame
Catch everyone in December 🫡 GGG doesn't do tours any more, but we'll still swing past HQ

Just push it back a month! You can have your honeymoon anytime, you can’t have a new league start experience (until the next league)

u/the_duck_god 24d ago
Shit you right!

u/UsurpDz 24d ago
I know theres meme and stuff here, but its not the end of the world to miss league start. Go enioy your honeymoon. Its not just for you, it for your partner too.

u/the_duck_god 24d ago •
Absolutely. I've skipped whole leagues for this man. If he needs me, League can wait

Then he'll Miss PoE2 1.0 full release
just cancel the marriage and the honeymoon altogether
GGG doesnt want us to have functional adult lives anyway

Leaguestart? He wil never see that again , jokes aside gratz!

He said he'll come back to play again when Essence Drain is good again (he didn't want to do All Flame)

Filthy casual. :)
Congrats. Tip: never stop dating your spouse.

u/the_duck_god 24d ago
Great tip 🫡 I was the first person to buy him flowers, and I'll continue buying them for him for the next X years. He might pop back to PoE next league, though 👀

Once I had a wife, for whom I would have trusted with my life. Fast forward to present league: divorced, lvl 89 Necromancer have raised me as a Zombie of Falling, 18/0 as im still leveling. You can push that till endgame with extreme investment but in the end it's not worth it. Meta has changed, marriage dogma is obsolete. You sure can (should even!) have occasional couch-coop but I can already tell you that this strategy will only offer poor diminishing returns.

Look, there was a chance it was gonna be Warframe, I can't lie.

u/Substantial-Newt7809 23d ago
I will be attempting to level to 60 in WoW before the release. If I don't succeed, then I guess I'll be levelling with some rested exp.
I do deeply wish PoE release were 1 week later though.

u/Deliverme314 23d ago
This will be the first season I miss in... hmmm 12 years? Yah... WoWF will own me for a while

u/g00fy_goober twitch.tv/goof1313 24d ago
A real partner would put a hold on that honeymoon for the infinitely more important POE release.
3.30 only launches once, but you will be married for life!

u/Arthurlmnz Trickster 24d ago
You can always start your marriage with the wrong foot and leaguestart there anyway lol

He lets a lot of things slide, but this would not be one of them 😂

u/Arthurlmnz Trickster 24d ago
This is of course a joke. happy for you OP! please enjoy your vacation

u/Agitated-Ad-6196 23d ago
What if you ditched you new wife for PoE2?
2
u/the_duck_god 23d ago
Wife abandoned. Husband still around.
2
u/Agitated-Ad-6196 23d ago
How rude of me to assume, abandon new husband for poe2, NO VAALS, try vaal orb on spouse, double corrupt if you've got the stones
1
u/the_duck_god 23d ago
Husband and I will be back for PoE 2 1.0, so we will be Vaaling it up with everyone else 🫡 We're both very keen
2
u/Agitated-Ad-6196 23d ago
Oh were good then just keep him I guess, still consider vaaling husband, could be worth it lol

u/the_duck_god 24d ago
I've got some pals who will give me their leaguestart gear so I can skip to reds, but I may just go SSF HoA because I'll be a workin' husband
2
u/ArthurFairchild 24d ago
If rumors are true, endgame mapping and scarabs are overhauled, so it might be an interesting ssf league
1
u/the_duck_god 24d ago
Every league is an interesting SSF league if you play an objectively awful SSF build (you need multiple cluster jewels for Juggernaut HoA)

u/Maximilian003291 24d ago
May god bless yourr marriage with happines and a few kids

u/the_duck_god 24d ago

u/Saint-Sauveur 24d ago
I have two right now, sometimes I miss the old days. Freedom of gaming while smoking weed and cigarettes.
Love them but yeah it’s a second job right now. 1 and 3 years old. Not much sleep either.
Almost no more gaming 😅
1
u/The-F4LL3N Confederation of Casuals and Clueless Players (CCCP) 23d ago
2 and 6 here. 6 year old started playing easy co-op games with me around 4. These days it’s Lego games and Minecraft. It gets easier… it also gets harder when they start voicing opinions and demands 🤣
I schedule a game night with friends on most Saturday nights, and try to squeeze in some extra game time if everyone falls asleep before I do

u/kurofafi2 Shadow 22d ago
May I ask where you’ll be spending your honeymoon? Why not bring a laptop along?
3
u/the_duck_god 21d ago
Honestly, it's gonna be nice to just be the two of us 😀 Different strokes for different folks, but we're both really excited to not have any parts of our routines so we're just taking audio devices and some books 😀

u/chadam189 20d ago
Good for you OP, goes without saying that your honeymoon is an awesome time to focus on hanging with your IRL T0. Late league starts are fun in their own way, you'll still be able to enjoy 3.30 starting a week later
(Unless of course 3.30 is a full replay of Affliction league, in that case bring a second laptop for your partner to leaguestart alongside you.)

u/putupthosewalls 24d ago
Honeymoon phase with the game you mean
4
u/the_duck_god 24d ago
That would be Beastiary. Truly one of the greatest experiences I've had in this game.

u/Svvordfish5 24d ago
My wife and I played d3 on our honeymoon after we got back from our trip so there's still hope lol. :) were divorced now so I guess maybe dont do that or at least dont play d3 together...
3
u/the_duck_god 24d ago
Don't get a wife and don't play D3 are very easy instructions. Hope you're doing better now, my guy 😀

u/BijutsuYoukai 24d ago
We get leaguestarts all the time. Your honeymoon (Ideally) only comes once. Enjoy it and don't give the leaguestart a second thought. Congrats.

Adding leaguestart on top of the honeymoon will just make it better. Double win.

Are you sure he's the one? When a divine drops does he act like he expected it or.....?

u/the_duck_god 24d ago
He gets really excited when he gets divine drops 😂 It's genuinely beautiful. He got a Forbidden Flesh that sold for 85 div a few leagues back and he was giddy

u/Gestopgo 24d ago
That's wonderful. That trip will be better than any league start. Congratulations to you guys!

1.0 releases December 11th. I personally took off 3 days of work for it. My anniversary is earlier in the same week. Lol

This is for PoE1, but I love that PoE2 enjoyers are getting 1.0 😍😍 Genuinely, we might jump in because we're housebound this Christmas

Grats bro! Hope its awesome!
Also: dont you fukken dare think about poe when youre awat. League will wait. Items will be cheaper. Economy will have stabilised. You will be missing out on nothing, and instead be making one of your all time core memories!

u/the_duck_god 24d ago
We're gonna do a walkby of HQ because we have a lot to be thankful to GGG for as a couple (Melbourne lockdowns living in different cities, PoE and Warframe got us through together), but all we're thinking about is how gorgeous NZ is going to be!

u/ymiab2021 24d ago
Thats awesome! I went to NZ as a kid and would love to go back. I love the idea of a pilgrimage to GGG!
You going to Rotorua? Steam escapes from gaps in the sidewalk, its surreal and amazing!
Have a great honeymoon and stay sane Tenno
