I'm still playing. Got my character up to 96 which is the highest I've ever been. Still poor and slowly trying to get good. I think I've figured out that I just need to accept that harvest will be my simple farming mechanic for future leagues.

I'm hoping for some end of league events this time. I'd like to play more but Necropolis has nothing for me. I had more fun grinding Trial of the Ancients to max rating and leveling from 98 to 100 like a sperg than during any point of Necropolis. I did enough challenges for the lowest tier of the armour set and that's fine with me. I might knock out a few more later but we're not getting anywhere near 38 this time and I'm fine with it.

Find an arbitrary goal or burnout. Sounds like you're close to the latter.
Probably true, still kinda fun accumulating currency, but not seeing anything crazy drop in almost 3million kills is a bit of a buzzkill.

Wasnt expecting a mirror but even a nice T0 unique would be cool to see drop. Best I've gotten this league was a few 7 years bad luck, and last night I got 2 fracturing orb div cards which was nice.

Will probably give it another week or so and then wait to see what is announced for next league. Hoping at least for some new cool scarabs if nothing else.

You could probably farm a T0 unique with possessed rogue exile farming. Just beware that most T0 uniques aren't worth shit.

Saw Mathil did a sponsored video on Eve Online. That was kind of odd.

Necropolis wasn't well received. I have no numbers to back this up, but I imagine that could effect twitch viewership.

Mathil likes to make builds with less common skills, often with dubious defenses and then mechanics his way through the end-game. Tier 17 maps are rough for that kind of content made doubly worse by the uber bosses being gated behind them.

Is there a PoE2 thread yet? I'm starting to see more PoE 2 news and details. I like the fact that this will be cross progression.

I just hope its fun to play, looks like it has about the same level of coop I enjoyed for a while in D4, while obviously having a ton more complexity.

Wonder when it'll even be released officially?

I FINALLY GOT ONE!!!

Had a bunch of cemetary maps to burn, all of the non 8-mods in my stash, so I rolled around 60 of them just with 2 ambush scarabs.

Hit the jewelry convert mod with 16 strongboxes, even only getting between 1-3 per drop I still left the map with around 90 divs. Almost to 400 divs, so maybe Ill see what I can buy for one last round of upgrades and after next weekend take a much-needed break.

I swear I must have done 1500 maps and that was the ONLY divine mod I have seen so far, shit is way too rare but felt great to finally see it!

Ive been pretty fortunate this league. Had an MB drop, watchers eye I sold for 65, foiled adorned 45, bunch of shit in the 10-30 range. Luckiest though was a jewelry to div in a t17 sanctuary. Made 140 in one map.

Yeah I've done 5-7 T17s, but cant do them consistent enough to farm them. I probably have enough currency to get to where I can, but haven't a clue what to prioritize. Will do some brainstorming tomorrow and see what I can come up with, will likely post my POB as well, just not at a computer.

T17 sounds like a nice milestone to finish and call it quits!

must be getting real close

Looks cool but a lot slower than I'm used to. Couch coop addition is awesome though. Wonder how much end game stuff will be in at launch considering how many things were migrated from the leagues in POE1

Yea they are going to have to show that you can zoom in this game. The entire playerbase is conditioned for maximum efficiency and if you are not zipping around finishing a map in 3 minutes its going to cause a lot of people to stay in PoE 1 if they support it like they say.

Not only are we getting campaign footage but the game play itself is purposefully slow so people can see what's going on and to allow for commentary. I expect PoE2 will launch slower overall in comparison to PoE1 but it'll play faster than they're showing us. If it will be fast enough is tough to say. One of the big advantages of a sequel is you can set a brand new baseline and reset/claw back anything from PoE1. If GGG goes overboard with reclaiming design space a lot of the core crowd is going to stay put in PoE1.

Speed of killing doesn't matter. What matters is how often we can pull that loot lever and if it feels rewarding. Also, difficulty progression and making it worth farming shit. Hopefully they get those right because zoom or crawl it all depends on that.

As primarily a minion player, the amount of QoL in those new systems is amazing. Being able to direct minions, not having to resummon them constantly/keep track of the numbers to see if one randomly died for no specific reason and giving them a lot more customization+active skills for less boring gameplay, it's looking really nice. I wonder what's the 3rd ascendency for witch though, they've only shown necro and occultist stuff, unless the bone spears and shit are a new category(like bone/body caster stuff with detonate dead and such mixed in), since Witch is losing elementalist.

Game looks great though, those bosses are pretty cool.
