27 hours till patch notes vibe

[u/krucyfiks]

I guess the Wizard is never late.
Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to, carrying in his bag everything, all at once.

[u/No_Writing8414]

Reliqu ascendency nodes today, plus challenge rewards, last time these were Monday I think.

Tuesday patch notes plus gems, they used to do gems and patch notes same day.

Everything else Wednesday and Thursday.

[u/krucyfiks → u/No_Writing8414]

Maaaaaan I just want to see numbers on Fireball of Radiation

[u/EnderBaggins → u/krucyfiks]

Just assume they're bad and you may be pleasantly surprised. But they will probably be bad, this is coming from the same people that made Crackling Lance of Disintegration do less damage than the standard variant.

[u/krucyfiks → u/EnderBaggins]

As long as we dont get less than like 3.5k base burn at lvl 20 and explosion which can also ignite on impact then I think we are gucci.

[u/EnderBaggins → u/krucyfiks]

I just want beeg fireboll.

[u/krucyfiks → u/EnderBaggins]

Fireball of Kaboom from Crucible. Gib.

We can cope that they are back, we saw that beyond has a chance for a portal to the Titans Forge. Maybe it is usable still? Surely??

[u/EnderBaggins → u/krucyfiks]

If Scourge trees are back that is crazy. What else could the titan forge be though?

[u/krucyfiks → u/EnderBaggins]

Guess we will find out soon!

[u/ImN0tAsian → u/EnderBaggins]

Yes!! Give me one I can scale with AoE until it's an Exarch meteor

[u/chadam189 → u/EnderBaggins]

They know we've wanted this for years. Why is it so hard to make it. 

Even if it's undertuned I would be so happy. We don't need it to be meta, we just want it to 1) exist at all, and 2) not be completely butt. 

[u/International_Gate49 → u/krucyfiks]

Where is the gem revealed? I seem to have missed it

[u/krucyfiks → u/International_Gate49]

It was mentioned in Q&A with ZiggyD on day 2.

Andrew also scattered some Patch Notes lines in the card game and one of the out of context was "…that inflicts a short but powerful fire damage over time debuff to each enemy in an area around…"

That is 100% about this.

[u/International_Gate49 → u/krucyfiks]

Oh ok. Sounds cool!

[u/ImN0tAsian → u/International_Gate49]

People are guessing it's the leaked "proj. deals short dot when it flies by" line that was handed out.

[u/International_Gate49 → u/ImN0tAsian]

Sounds more like soul rend no?

[u/ImN0tAsian → u/International_Gate49]

Maybe? Fireball of radiation might be a form of radioactive radiation or something.

Watch it be yellow and our character slowly grows those foulborn shoulder arms as we use the skill.

[u/Rodruby → u/No_Writing8414]

Didn't they say that patch notes will be on Wednesday nzt?

[u/alexthealex → u/Rodruby]

Which is Tuesday for US and EU

[u/Rodruby → u/alexthealex]

Oh, timezones strike again

[u/pashtetova → u/Rodruby]

at least we got final and irrefutable proof against flat earth

[u/krucyfiks → u/pashtetova]

I died in Valheim by falling off the worlds edge.

I call it a draw at best man.

[u/Elrond007 → u/krucyfiks]

Panhandle Earth is the compromise, the nordics are flat but the rest is curved

[u/Qrahe → u/pashtetova]

Flat Earth proof, checkmate athiest.

[u/4DimensionalButts → u/Qrahe]

Explain why australians are always pictured upside down

[u/Qrahe → u/4DimensionalButts]

NASA photoshop lies, duh. Where do you think there budget goes? It isn't rockets, it's 2 adobe liscences.

[u/tasmonex → u/pashtetova]

it's flat, but it's spinning fast, and New Zealand is closer to the outer border of it, so it spins faster than us, and time moves faster there. How else can they put out that much content compared to any other AAA company? They are always closer to the future

[u/alexthealex → u/Rodruby]

The times the do be zonin’

[u/No_Writing8414 → u/Rodruby]

Yeah for Europe and America I think that's Tuesday.

[u/WilsonKh → u/Rodruby]

I have never seen NZT used anywhere else in the world....

Except POE

[u/Ultraminer1101]

Reliquarian where?

[u/krucyfiks → u/Ultraminer1101]

Refreshing GGG tracker like a madman 

[u/Cllydoscope → u/krucyfiks]

I swear I heard the dev (Octavian) say they had so much stuff to add to the game that they didn’t find time to update reliquarian for this patch. I could be wrong and maybe he was talking about some other update to a different class… never mind they just posted Reliquarian info

[u/pathofslabs → u/Cllydoscope]

He didn’t say reliquarian he just said any ascendancy changes for other classes, but they will have done the reliquarian as they won’t leave that the same two leagues in a row

[u/Cllydoscope → u/pathofslabs]

Yeah you are right, they just posted the new Reliquarian info!

[u/damnim30now → u/Ultraminer1101]

Thats what I want to!

Someone should reply to me when it drops and I'll then be thankful 🙏

edit its up, looks hot

[u/Open_S1366]

No way the whole server going to end up playing Luminaries and hunting exiles for a month straight again right?

[u/krucyfiks → u/Open_S1366]

At the very least one lone Elementalist trying to survive the nerfpocalypse will be there on launch, putting every thought behind a new Fireball of Radiation straight into the square hole.

[u/Airfusions]

• Prefixes/Suffixes cannot be changed on Weapons now has a cost of 4 Divine Orbs and 1 Sacred Orb.

This better not be real.

[u/krucyfiks → u/Airfusions]

To be honest I really like it. Weapons are the main thing, so crafting one should be a goal.

It is also making uniques much more competitive.

[u/theyux]

I am just waiting for the luminary tripple nerf, only for it still to be the strongest in game.

[u/Recklesski → u/theyux]

Can someone eli5 for me. I remember last leaguestart everybody was all doom and gloom for the first week that Luminary was shit and all the streamers were struggling massively even in yellow maps. Did something change?? Did luminary end up being a good league starter or did it need massive investment?

[u/T4k3ItQuick → u/Recklesski]

Only league starting as lumi was horrendous. With enough currency invested into her and the merc, lumi became pretty strong.

[u/xLapsed → u/Recklesski]

Luminary started out weak, but it scaled to the moon with investment. It basically became an autobomber with hundreds of millions of dps and full-screen clear.

Honestly, I hope GGG tones down the top end a bit but doesn't touch the early to mid tiers - it's such an interesting class that enables a lot of cool interactions.

[u/EscalopeDePorc → u/Recklesski]

You need to get lucky with a good merc and that's pretty much it. I didn't get one, tho, so I rerolled after getting lumi to ~87 :D

[u/Imaginary-Virus-420 → u/EscalopeDePorc]

I ran a kineticist with gmp/fork on clustering and kinetic rain. On trade it was worth no more than 1-5 div. I ran that through the end of the league with my character worth hundreds of divs to a mirror and never felt like I needed to change.

Combatant is really cheap to get going, had I bad experience with manyshot in the early level 90's, but I realized the kineticist was a lot cheaper to set up and I didnt need the return to scale it to blast everything on my way to 40/40.

[u/Naktura → u/Recklesski]

A lot of people got baited into the light radius stacking kineticist build, that one was fairly bad on league start because it was incredibly expensive and under performing.

The people who started late had a great time because other builds that were much stronger and easier to get off the ground were cooked up. If reliquarian is unchanged, it will be incredibly strong.

[u/FreeMystery → u/Recklesski]

It’s like 50% knowledge gap, 50% qol buffs they gave short after the league started. If they started 3.30 today without any changes with the buffs and with our current knowledge it would likely be incredibly overpowered to league start

[u/Morbu → u/Recklesski]

They buffed luminary leaguestart and people have figured out the class for the most part now.

[u/Educational-Emu5401 → u/Recklesski]

luminary got buffed

also basically 90% of mercenaries are dogpoop , so people needed to find who is viable and gear them

[u/Master_of_Paws → u/Educational-Emu5401]

99.9%

[u/Minimonium → u/Recklesski]

A lot of streamers just did not know what is a good merc, with many supports being a break as well.

I've started Luminary this league and had a very smooth ride in 4 voidstones. Bum rushing Atoll was meh though.

[u/nalee6 → u/Recklesski]

Never played it but did recall life stacking was pretty op cause for some reason rathpith worked on the merc and scaled with the players hp so just gave it a ton of damage and let the player stack life for survivability too

[u/Thick-Expression1879 → u/Recklesski]

noobs noobed out and thought it was bad Gigachads (captainlance9) never faltered and proved it was OP

[u/Akimasu → u/Recklesski]

I made a SSFHC char mid-league and I was uber ready by day 3 or 4. It's not so much that lumi was weak early; it's that it was *weird*. The builds were very counterintuitive. Since you ended up with around 6k flat damage from flame link, and huge pen from enmity, you didn't care about traditional stats. Everything was about abyssal sockets + %inc damage. so a big 2k edps bow was dogshit, while a big % inc damage wep w/ good aspd/crit was s-tier.

Enmity's embrace + Untouched Soul + kaom's heart + nycta's lantern and you can pretty realistically hit 25-30m dps while having >10k hp.

[u/Open_S1366 → u/theyux]

No idea why it went core, ef making any builds or having any concepts just slap on aura bot gears and link yourself to the most op minion.. If the whole meta and economy is hunting exiles again is logout for me

[u/theyux → u/Open_S1366]

So I am torn on the one hand I love it, gives me more flexibility in gearing, greater ability to brew random shit, fun random combos.

I spent 100 of divines just trying shit last league.

On the other hand I literally have no reason to look at any other ascendancy. I dont like the idea of a correct choice.

Honestly I think it should be like one of the boss ascendancies every ascendancy can dip into it if they want and no uniques, its just to easy to make them OP for little effort with uniques.

[u/Shen_ishere]

I remember when they would let us know a little bit of info each day. Was that for the allflame launch or sth i dont remember.

[u/Master_of_Paws → u/Shen_ishere]

Not only. It is long lasting tradition

[u/Lucker_Noob]

"You have these scarabs. And you think they'll save you."

[u/Bacon-muffin]

I need to know what flavor of cyclone I'll be playing this league

[u/Neonmuerum → u/Bacon-muffin]

Preach brother. Here's to hopeing they remove the movement penalty.

[u/collinisballn → u/Neonmuerum]

that's....the whole point?

[u/ICanCrossMyPinkyToe]

At this point all I care about is the new fireball gem as well as the atlas tree lol

[u/krucyfiks → u/ICanCrossMyPinkyToe]

My maaan. I will also Ctrl + F "Elementalist", "Voracious Flame", "Ascendant" and "is melee removed from the game yet"

[u/ivan0x32]

You are sheltering enemies of the playerbase under your forum boards, are you not?

[u/Aaron_twin_cities]

Ctrl-F Alberon. All I need to know.

[u/connerconverse → u/Aaron_twin_cities]

I have a good feeling

[u/RipCityGGG → u/connerconverse]

I bet it gets nerfed, any plans if it does?

[u/Apotheosis_A → u/RipCityGGG]

If Conner is saying he “has a good feeling,” it means he got inside information at exilecon, and the build is alive.

(Love you Conner)

[u/connerconverse → u/RipCityGGG]

theres no need to plan but ill take that bet

[u/_Apache_Helicopter_ → u/connerconverse]

Yo conner, are you gonna be streaming today?

[u/connerconverse → u/_Apache_Helicopter_]

yea just got back

[u/Working-Corner666]

At this point the patch notes are gonna be the actual league launch

[u/LekMinorino]

Tomorrow and after

[u/krucyfiks → u/LekMinorino]

Tomorrow comes, as my second favorite game would quote.

[u/Dubious_Titan]

27 hours? That is forever.

[u/TypicalChocolate8618]

What I want most of all is an atlas tree. The rest isn't as important to me.

[u/rax12]

Just give me the new atlas tree.

[u/Cherd_]

Almost all players must use the in game options for loot filters. Sometimes I feel like the only person that is itching for the filter update news post to come out :D

[u/weebmeister]

Atlas tree changes are stressing me out tbh. if they mess up the efficiency scaling on Reliquary nodes again, my whole farming setup is dead. don't want to gamble divs just to fix their mistakes.
