I play leagues... slowly
|
if you want to get to 90 quick, after hitting 84 or something, play beachhead T-15 rota
as long as they didn't limit minimum level and you tag your map on party leader, it's guaranteed carried run 3-4 rotation is enough to level you up to 90 protip : lower your graphic option to prevent crash also, dont worry about speed, the most important thing is to have fun. if it doesn't fun, why bother? |

" You're contradicting yourself. If you wanna play rotas, you gotta be FAST. That's why I abandoned the idea of leveling to 100 after a couple of beachhead rotas, and decided to stay at 98. Actually, if you're like cipher or myself and prefer playing at a slower pace, then trying any form of party play would be the fastest way to ruin your gaming experience forever, unless you're playing with friends who have similar preferences. Unfortunately, it appears that 90% of this game's population consists of speedrunners playing with a mouse in one hand, and a stopwatch in the other :( So if you wanna keep having fun and enjoying the game, then I'd strongly recommend staying the hell away from rotas. Fuck master rotas. Fuck any kind of rotas, for that matter. Last edited by DGTLDaemon on Oct 10, 2017, 12:16:49 PM

":-) that's the "only" way to do things most of the time. Glad you mentioned that! Too often we each buy into what the 1% and min-maxers tell us is the most efficient or beneficial build and progression in PoE. There are many problems with that...
Spoiler
1.) Playing meta means over-spending on gear to achieve that meta, because every item for meta builds is going to skyrocket in price. Supply and demand.
2.) Min-maxing your build to achieve one amazing mechanic or another means that anything breaking that mechanic will be a royal PITA for your gameplay. I'm sure I'm not alone when I mention that I prefer to layer my defenses by making my build flexible. Most HC players I've talked to take this approach any ways, because they only have one shot with each character. I level up different auras and golems in each league, and switch them out for challenging map mods. I don't like having all of my 'eggs in one basket'. I also like to find a Timeclasp and use haste for Temporal Chains mods, ability to reduce on damage class for reflect (or bump more life leech/regen), flexibility in forgoing defenses for more DPS with life regen bosses, etc. 3.) Going your own way every league feels liberating. Sometimes I'll have guild mates and friends online ask which build I'm using, and they get confused when I don't spit out one of the few meta builds everyone else is running. That's funny. They call my build "hipster" or say things like, "that's cool! So how do you... ?" 4.) I'm still offering things in the current challenge league to guild mates and global 820 when very few others are. The people still playing are very thankful in turn. I've received generous tips without ever asking. Players are happy to see that they're not alone in playing the league all the way through to the end. " "Yup, indeed! My "kill the fun" moment...

At the end of Legacy I bought hundreds of T6 maps and easy leaguestones for the tri-league challenge. I had a few days with an open r/l schedule, so I set those aside to grind maps. I changed my loot filter to my personal end-game grinding one, socketed the 5-use leaguestones, and carry five maps. I was clearing Racecourse maps in under a minute, Bog in a matter of seconds, etc. I did 100+ maps a day to carry me to 1000. Then move loot to stash tabs every 10-20 maps or so.
It was fun accomplishing that specific challenge, but the grind was brutal. For me it siphoned off most of the fun. I don't think I'll ever grind like that again, especially not within the final week of a league. After Legacy, I thought I'd take a break from leagues for a while. I even told me wife that, and she was happy I wouldn't be saying "I need to run my dailies" anymore (and dailies really means mapping for an hour afterwords too, lol). But then I realized I could still have fun in leagues if I didn't fall into that grinding trap again. So here I am... ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░▒▒▒▒ │ Waggro Level: ♠○○○○ │ 1244 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Last edited by cipher_nemo on Oct 10, 2017, 12:45:27 PM

" I'm with you here. I can't count the number of times I've logged on for the baby to start crying or to plan a couple of hours of gaming only to have her take 3 hours to put to sleep. But I absolutely love this game, and I don't care if I'm slow and poor and have only accomplished what other people did in three days. I'm having a blast with the game. I did start another character before hitting 90, though. It's taken me about a week to get the second one to 55. But, I'm trucking along. |

":-) Yeah, r/l always gets in the way... I mean takes priority. ;-) I will be moving into a new house soon, and the wife wants to paint about 3/4 of the walls. And she wants new railings on the steps outside. And... you get the picture. In order to avoid paying an arm and a leg for a contractor, I'll be doing most of the work. So in November I don't expect to have much gaming time. Of course I'll still absolutely enjoy the short periods where I do actually get to play. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

I don’t need anger management, I need people to stop pissing me off! | |
" LOL! And glad you're not a T-Rex? Dinosaurs... they're mean too. ;-) " Yeah, know exactly what you mean. I miss my MMO days, when we'd complain about others being too slow. Now in PoE I (secretly) complain about others being too fast. MMORPG and ARPG are entirely different worlds, and now karma is catching up to me. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░▒▒▒▒ │ Waggro Level: ♠○○○○ │ 1244 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Last edited by cipher_nemo on Oct 11, 2017, 8:24:30 AM
