Logged in and got to Lionseye watch before the server took a shit and I haven't been able to reconnect. I'm gonna give that blade vortex build a shot and see how it goes.

Great. That's what I did. Not only do 50mb updates take fucking forever on POE it's endless too? Just great.

POE started crashing everytime I move which is a real pain in the ass with a queue. Trying one more time after taking off the loot filter. If it happens again I'm gonna play some Dota till this queue is gone.
Edit: I saw a post about the crash on Poe forums and removing my skill gem from the left click fixed it for anyone having the same problem

Friend is having that issue, could you link to the thread where you saw it discussed? Will have him try changing the left-click thing when he comes back to vent.

Well last night didn't go so well... I should've just played Legion I guess. Stuck on patcher right until the launch, after getting through the queues I crashed right after logging in from another bug, right back into the queue. Repeat 3x and go to bed. Spent probably 2 hours on getting to level 8. Getting back to the game in about 6 hours, I hope it runs smoother by then.
Ran smooth just now for the last 2 hours for me. Got back up to level 10, enjoying the game a good bit.
I don't see how people are already level 78 - saw that notice go off this evening. Is it really that fast to level? The season wasn't even 11 hours old when I saw that. Crazy.

It is if your optimize your leveling, especially as a group. One guy looks for the next map, while other guys grind, rotate the guy running to the next map so xp is fairly even and shit, share drops so everyone's geared decently and make use of stuff like auras and curses stacking to trivialize content like act bosses. And obviously don't waste time doing any side quest, looting random shit that's not at least an alch and later on a chaos and mostly just throw the gear you ID instead of going back to town to sell it. Spec while running, you obviously know exactly where points go before you even open the window because you're following a build you know already about, which is a leveling build and you'll respec out of stuff later on to use your real build.
It's a lot of small things, and some bigger, that massively increase leveling speed. Even solo you can make large adjustments by changing how you play. You can look up racing guides and see how people do it. Like how far they get in 1hour/2hour races and extrapolate from there.
For most people in the top end, they expect to be running maps by the evening(US times) after a new season starts. But if you play "normally", it generally takes a couple of days of lots of playing to get there. There's just a very large gap between playing to level as fast as possible and playing casually.

that and just racing in general. it will blow your mind. you will be in act 2 normal, and see, "*.* is the first to enter The southern forest Cruel."
There is a HUGE gap between normal play, and racing to get first. Skill choice and class choice is huge. luck on movement boots is huge.
skipping sidequests, and knowing what to kill and what not to kill. (skip all white, just run by them. kill good mod blues. skip high hp ones. skip most yellows due to too much hp as well.) Then farm specific areas. might farm before dom, or just run all the way to dried lake, if you have a class/build which can safely do dom under leveled. Being under area level is a huge exp boost. so you can kill 1/3rd of the monster, and get more exp then someone above level killing everything.
Essence league actually has a huge impact on racing as well, giving players these guaranteed mod rares on their item base of choice.
Early had the massive lag/booting issues. I swapped to texas gateway, and then was stable ever since.
Iceblades going well. 16% fixed everything. haha..
I really like essence league so far. As I noted, I think its a massive changeup to racing. very interesting. The spawns have a few nasty ones as well. basic are lame. but, I had a few close calls with the bleed one, and the fear add spawns. Also, really dangerous when ghosted. I'm hoping corrupted ones, or high level ones are even more scary. Atm, I hope the replace some of the strongboxes.
I did hop onto standard to, pull in all 9 masters to my hideout. Also did a few maps.
