Announcements - The Fall of Oriath: Yugul, Reflection of Terror - Forum

In the video is that the new Magma ball attack that Jonathon mentioned in his E3 interview? :) "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..." Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

By the way If a namelock melee build was actually good because VP is still in the game (why though?) how come we do not see a single melee build in the previews for new content? this is what we have so far The Brine King fight - Barrage archer (projectile) Abberath fight - Glaciel Cascade caster (spell) Gruthkul, Mother of Despair fight - Incinerate caster (spell) Arakaali, Spinner of Shadows fight - Explosion arrow (+ballista) archer (projectile) Doedre the Vile fight - Ice spear caster (spell) Yugul, Reflection of Terror fight - Magma orb caster (spell) The Harbour Bridge showcase - Blade Flurry (because a range spell posing as a melee skill is just as good as a melee skill right? I mean totems are melee so yeah it totally works) the only thing i have gathered so far from the previews is: "STOP PLAYING MELEE!!! OR THEY WILL FIND YOU!!!" as for me I have long since lost my damn mind. They can find me and I do not give a damn. I will keep playing melee until the damn eagles come. THE EAGLES!!! SILLY BITCH...THE EAGLES ARE COMING!!! THE EAGLES!!! (bleeds out from a wound to the gut because his armor and evasion both failed...again) the eagles...are...coming...(coughs)...the eagles...

Heh, I was making fun of your "THE EAGLES ARE COMING" references... I do enjoy my PoE with an asinine unnecessary Hard mode ON for single target melee namelocking skills, and I will certainly play those in 3.0 too... And even if GGG can't/wouldn't/doesn't/whatever improve the status quo on those single target melee namelocking skills, I find it up to us to make them work in a satisfactory manner and stay in our own separated realm from the "ranged melee" & ranged/cast playstyles. Hopefully, they might give identity to the single target melee namelocking skills still, presumably before 4.0 or 5.0 hit in a few years... PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"... Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days...

This means they'll run longer than the previously announced end date of July 11th, but that there is no set end date. We will make sure that they end with a few days to spare before the 3.0.0 release so that players have time to sort through their items in the parent leagues. We'll confirm the new end date as soon we can. Is this a joke? And still no way to allow us to leave it if we wants??

Was deathless up until Yugul, who killed me 3 times. Is it really supposed to be the strongest boss in the game? :P Suggest lowering the DOT and making the orbs despawn after some time, so as you don't have a ton of them chasing you at once.
