Invasion experience - dying and aftermath

Simply put, untily ou are VERY experienced. Both in Gear & Game knowledge if I were you id..

Logout whenever you run into any invaders (esp) during leveling up process anything past normal.

That's about it, ive played PoE for 2years. Been on the good and bad end. For the first week of Invasion I fought every invader and went into every Vaal Area.

A Few rips later and needless to say I don't do that anymore. My current toon is awaiting to start maps, ive just lost interst in grinding this ATM and only playing in CT events for now.

Dual Flame Totems / FB / Searing is just boring, I should have went non \faceroll build but melee in this league is ass so yeah.

Give it a short break if that's what you think you need and roll another toon. Like you said every death is a lesson you should learn and hopefully you picked up some leveling gear on the way to make each revision of your character stronger next time around.

Dying is practically a guarantee, if you can get past the expectation that the toon you have today is "the one" you will be able to stomach the re-rolls and lessons learned as you move forward.

Good Luck!

I can tell that dealing with deaths can be pretty hard. I just lost my third 65+ character in invasion. 2 first deaths were instadeaths offscreen to invasionbosses and the third was to vaal oversoul due to desync. All were extremely tanky characters with over 1ex worth of gear. Welcome to Wraeclast, personally I think Ive had enough of PoE for a few months.

G'day guys.



TL,DR:

Now my toon is in Standard, I am not too happy with the market. In invasion I could get good skill gems for alchs and unique gears for 1c each, but in standard everyone is asking for Exalts. I don't think my stash can ever afford something like that, so either I self fund my way to end game or give up on this character and start a new build in invasion. What do you guys think?



It feels good to share some good stories.

wut?

You can get like 10 low level unique for 2 chaos in standard, and since you can t really die, you can create plenty of toons and get gems very easily.

Also in standard ex to chaos is 1/15-20 not 1/28 like it is in invasion those days. Also it will surely goes 1/35 in the end like last 4 month league.

Price in standard are much better Imo for low-mid leveling uniques and chaos price is very stable unlike in invasion.

If death was my fault....I punch keyboard, slam 7 more beers, then remake same character and cuss nonstop until I reach town. That is how it is done in Wisconsin.

I had my 4th mercyless RIP today. I've met Cintiq, the Inescapable. A realistic nickname, because it was too late to escape. Less than 1 second later, dead. No time for alt+F4.

I'm about to stop playing this game. I dont know how i could avoid this death. I was just lacking gear to improve my -60 chaos res, like 99% people.
I think Invasion should have softcore and Ambush should have been hardcore. Too late. The Invasion league is almost dead after 2 weeks. It's getting hard to find a party and since solo is suicide. It's just a matter of days before the collapse of this game.

Excellent viewpoint. Invasion is working better than I could hope for. I wish everyone playing PoE felt like you do so we can all tell GGG just WTF they are doing ruining the fun of playing PoE. Too bad there are many, many masochist hardcore players that praise GGG for their efforts to 1 shot you from off screen or desync kill you that you have 0 % control over. :(

I'm just so bummed that I had 2 uniques on my dead character from Invasion.

How's the market like in Ambush? Maybe getting into Invasion was not the best decision to start off.
