Calling it there. Could have been a bit higher on that list if I didnt fight the queue monster for an hour at the start and had a partner who could have helped with some of the running. Had fun but the end game revamp isnt really revamped at all. Its the same old same old. Not sure how active ill be over the next couple days.

Ive never been a big fan of having to fight against RNG to progress and challenge my character. When you start rolling high tier maps, you become a small economy yourself within the game because you have to blow through so much currency getting the pack size/item quantity rolls. It was made even worse for the expansion start to compensate for map drop bonus people will have once their expansion is more explored (more maps completed). Raiz, the #1 on there, grinded out lvl 86 by having to do t3-t5 maps, maps 13-15 levels lower than his character) because they couldnt get a consistant pool of higher ones. Its just not very fun blowing through content you can sleep through.

Killed the whole day yesterday playing a Duelist up to level 31ish on Normal in the new Challenge league. It's fun but I hope there's some sort of challenge to it once I'm done with the first playthrough on Normal. Right now I literally just play one-handed mashing one button while watching tv. Absolutely gorgeous game though on my new rig.

Got an Essence worn to drop. I want to sell it but haven't fucked around getting set up to sell stuff on Poe.trade. Any other way to sell stuff beside spamming in the trade channel? This thing should get me the 25c I need for a key unique.
Started an essence drain/contagion build in the new league and just got into merciless. Enjoying the build and it's starting to come together. Bought a 20% quality contagion gem and it really helps spread the AIDS around.

Never tried this, really liked Grim Dawn but the fact that i can cheat by getting any gear in the game makes me a sad panda so i figured i'd give this a whirl. Any key things i should know going in/good tips? Also is there guilds/rerolled guilde?

This beginners guide playlist helped me a lot in the beginning. I think some stuff may be outdated but probably 95% is still good info.

Not that map bosses have ever been "balanced" for tier difficulty and so forth, but the new bosses of maps seem to have all been tuned up across the board and all the new bosses seem at the difficulty level at least of the hardest bosses in the past. Been running 5-7 tier maps mainly atm and the tuning seems kind of over the top.
In general, it seems almost all of the easiest bosses are gone (or moved up to higher tiers), with all the new bosses doing tons of damage or having tons of hitpoints (and usually both at once). Also quite a few more mechanics that if you ignore will kill you (racecourse 100% reflect aura that the horse dude puts up). We aren't talking about a 10% to 20% buff to boss hitpoints, no, many bosses seem to have multiples of their earlier health.
I mean, whatever, I'm dealing with it. It just seems a silly thing to do so early on in the mapping. PoE was never a particularly friendly game towards new players, but with my build doing really high dps and ignoring mob resistances, it still takes me quite a long time (relatively) to kill many of these bosses.
