So, the new expansion comes. How was the last one?

Strongboxes = good. Atziri out of my reach and as a HC player probably always will be. Don't mind that at all though I think it's good for a game to have some things out of reach. I skip most all corrupted zones now, not worth the risk on HC. I'd maybe start farming them if I wanted atziri. Invasion was just far too painful. Vaal orbs are interesting, pretty happy with em. Vaal gems have been pretty useless for me. I'd like to see them revamped somehow.
This expansion was a motherfucking failfest. For me.

First there is retarded RNG for even try to fight a new boss.

Then there was rewards for first 50 who made. We saw how kills were sold by nolifers, and GGG acknowleged that achivements.

From that moment on every time i see word "competitive" used in same sentance with "Path Of Exile" i laugh.

Then we have a boss. Artificially "hardened" by immunities and spike damage. For me, such design - is a scream of despair from devs. They wanted to make something challanging, but were screwed by their own previous decisions and made pure gearcheck, which could be stomped with specific ammount of abuse, or couldn't be done at all.

Thing that resurrected PoE for me - was the news of snapshotting fix.

SotV was a failure because it didn't address desynch.

The new expansion will be a failure because if won't address desynch.
Vaal orbs were fun if used properly

Corrupted areas were useless for average crowd ( lvl 80 ). They had a small role in grinding some exalts ( 5 sets for 4 ex for an average of 4-5 days of grinding ).The mask pieces have a horrible RNG mechanic. I've realized that GGG thinks we are dumb at best....

Atziri........not for casuals. The fight is catered towards players with BIS items.

I don't play leagues, so i can't say much about them, except that maybe all the areas start to look more and more like maps ( random mobs+random bosses+random stats +++)

The expansion didn't brought any new content at all. No new areas, quests, ( only 1 mob type to the pool), no new base items...

Overall i was deeply disappointed. I like the game a lot , but I'm afraid that if this expansion will go the same way i'll take a long brake from playing this game until at least Act4...

Really REALY liked this conted the boxes are very nice touch. Also the atziri fihgt is fantastic , i love it alot . personaly i think evrey 1 crying about having to be speced and geared a serten way is totaly bullshit , im doing the normal fight just fine in 20 days of playing , that seem perfectls fine to me. Have not tryed uber yet but have 2 sets rdy when i think im rdy ( will probley do it on the last day of the race )

Also i really loved the invation bosses , im very sad to hear they are not comeing to the main game. I understand why they are not and it makes sence , i just really found them both interesting to fight and forced me to stay on my toes. Loved the concept of the invation bosses and TBH did not mind how rip'ey they are , i could understand HC mode players having a problem with this however , dew to the fact you could get hit with a massive burst of a unknown damage type at any time. Still i would like to see them in main game.

Also think it's fantastic that GGG has made farming for atziri frags they way it is , it lets new players have fast effectiv ways to grind curencys up fast , and gives high level players something to break up the constant map grind. Also totaly in love with bossting my maps with the frags , nothing better than a 145 % quality level 77 map ( with 8 stats O i love it so much ) fraged to a massive 160 % !!!

also Vaal gems rule and im learning alot about how to use them. I bet in a years time thare will be some insane corrupted gear floating around.


All in all i realy liked what im seeing in the 1 mount.


8.5/10


May i ask what build you are using and how many times you have died doing atziri or on the way to her?
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.
Wait what, we have a new expansion coming?

SOTV was a MEH addition
pushing the game toward further elitism with the Atziri runz
semi-bad design vaal gems which should see their counter reset each instance, have stacks for some and have the counter based on the Gem level rather than the difficulty level for some gems
ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it
last expansion for me

-invasion bosses : lets just not talk about these
-strongboxes : very cool, although mostly due to the free loot.
-atziri : not done not interested. Imo mmorpg stuff like this is not a good addiction
-corrupted areas : useless if you arent farming atziri, also dangerous in hc
-vaal skills : They can have a niche use in builds but overall a bit underwhelming. They are also too common.
-vaal orb : as vaal skills, it has niche uses but not too many.

Everything except Atziri is fine for me because I can actually do them. Atziri? nop cant unless I play path of trading first or get super lucky with drops, thats way out of my reach. Its bad enough that you need pretty good gear for it but you also need the correct build.
