EXCITING PoE 3.25 Settlers League Overview | Still Sane Podcast

[@dreamcore_gg]

Fun chat, thanks for having me on!

[@Dizturb3dwun]

It still throws me off that we're allowed to see your face now

[@runtrat9]

Well, well, well,,,,,time to cut dreamcore and sylver out of clicks since they've decided to help the upcoming selfmade poe cuck. Didn't know gaslighting casuals (kids) was a goal for their channels.

[@blackomega34]

Tri is wary of the timed mechanics, the difference between this and dailies in MMOs is that all the time gated stuff is based on resources you have; you can only set a dude to make bars if you have the ores, whereas with dailies you always have them every day. I think it's not a problem because you can set shit to cook and have it cook for as long as you have the materials, and if you didn't play enough to get resources, then it's no longer a daily task. You just set shit to cook at the end of your play session.

[@duncanbertetti5812]

There are a few other reasons why this isn’t as bad as mobile stuff either. One thing is that in mobile games, nearly everything is time gated, so you run out of stuff to do and then wait. But with this, you still have base PoE. Also, mobile games usually have excessive time gating specifically to incentivize you to spend premium and reduce that time gating. PoE has no pay to win though, so time gating is much less likely to be artificially inflated. It will probably be kept to a much more reasonable level.

This conversation got me so hyped for league start! Cheers 🎉

[@michaelschmidt145]

Keep these chats coming! My favorite content creators all in one place!

I need the town as my permanent hideout.

Time to put this on in the background while I do cardio

[@omegasybers1110]

The pod was fun as always

[@epyjacek]

Great video guys! Good luck on league start. Especially Tri with HC hahaha, be unattached to the character brother.

[@hadosscott5841]

Great chat lads! I'm thinking of mucking around with the new banners and valour with champion

[@schnudercheib]

Damn, I'm just finishing up new wallpapers and now I have something to listen to while doing so. Thanks! (ALso love the guest cast on this one!)

To me, having watched, and rewatched, and watched again (and again) the reveal, and as many reacts as I can find... my opinion is that it really feels like they have a TON of things in PoE2 that they are planning on introducing (or stuff that worked really well in PoE1 they have been messing with so they can re-add), and they need a way to test players' opinions and thoughts about all of it. So, they are throwing all of it at the wall to see what sticks. Personally, it all looks really well done, though, and I think at least 85% will be wildly successful and loved.

[@gr4692]

If and probably will, poe2 got this much love and caring, than we looking for the best game, that we will play the longest of all

[@Takaoshi]

They need to test the currency market since its going to be in poe 2. They can't test it in the office because they are not enough people. So the best place to test it is in a poe 1 league before the Clsoed beta (Early Access) starts in november/december. Important to check if they need to balance it or if it breaks in some way. Like they said, if it works and don't need any changes they can add it permanently to poe 1. Same with respec for gold. When it comes to respec, they should just allow you to do it with gold and regrets. Good to have both

I've seen almost 10 of your videos and this was the most entertaining. I like your ability to tell stories with your shorter videos (compared to other creators) but the theme of a video can be hit or miss.

[@FenixFera]

1:01:15 How would you get that Glacial Hammer of Shattering 3rd strike to ignite since the gloves are need for Replica Atziri's Acuity's Perfect Agony? and u can't use Hrimburn?

[@nathannavarro1177]

you can convert cold to fire, i think this is the way

[@ASooplex]

@@nathannavarro1177 Great idea. Cold to Fire Support and Xoph's Blood

I'm no hardcore pro, but I played it exclusively for a long time, and have some modest accomplishments in the mode. I stick to SC mostly (once in a while I still dip my toes into HC) since I have less time to play these days, and Comcast is garbage. If I can offer a few pieces of advice for your hardcore run: Set rules for yourself. Things like specific map mods you that you will not run (e.g. block is a primary defensive layer and the map has less block chance), a limit on the number of damage modifiers (e.g. two damage mods or less), or certain combinations of modifiers (e.g. -max res + phys as extra ele). This could extend to certain league content like Ultimatum, Expedition, altars, or anything where you have to opt in to additional difficult for additional rewards. Generally, pay attention to mod synergies or mods that are particularly troublesome for your build. You can always re-evaluate these rules as your character gets stronger, but don't fly by the seat of your pants with bending the rules. Take your time and think about it before you decide to trim away any of these rules. Don't blindly click on every piece of league content or engage with everything indiscriminately. This ties in to the above point a bit, but if you're setting rules that are a little more contextual is also very helpful. If you're running a map that's pushing the limits of your character's capabilities, and you're confident you can do it, but there are certain opt in engagements that might push it over the limit. Planning to skip some specific content that you know will be rough in that map is okay. Speaking of skipping content: don't be afraid to do it. Yeah, you want to push the limits here and there, but do it in a calculated fashion, after you've made some major upgrades and considered the risks carefully. It's okay to walk past that ghosted eight essence monster on a map that has three enemy defensive mods. Set progression benchmarks before attempting certain content. You might want to get a particular unique item, reach a certain amount of maximum life, switch to a cluster jewel setup, cap resistances, or any number of things before you attempt some type of content. This could be fighting a specific boss, progressing to red maps, moving to the next act in the campaign, or any number of things. Take your time and farm a bit before moving on. Good luck; I bet you'll have a blast.

[@Aye_its_tk]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't phys taken as still an eldritch implicit on helms? I don't recall them stating that specific source was removed.

[@DanboReviews]

[@duncanbertetti5812]

I don’t think time gating will be too painful in this league mechanic, as there are a couple massive problems that it has in mobile games that it won’t here. One thing is that in mobile games, nearly everything is time gated, so you run out of stuff to do and then wait. But with this, you still have base PoE. Also, mobile games usually have excessive time gating specifically to incentivize you to spend premium and reduce that time gating. PoE has no pay to win though, so time gating is much less likely to be artificially inflated. It will probably be kept to a much more reasonable level.

[@LightningStrike2]

Sorry for this but once again l have to ask which boneshatter will be the best slayer or juggernaut? I saw both for "best league starters"??? Sorry for bothering again im new to the game

[@TalkativeTri]

I am not a master, but they both accomplish diff things: 1. Slayer will be more offensive, with slightly more damage, 2. Juggernaut will focus more on defense, with less overall damage but higher scaling potential.

[@LightningStrike2]

@@TalkativeTri l told my girlfriend that she will chose my build for this league and she said slayer sooo im doing that one xD

[@TalkativeTri]

@@LightningStrike2 my preferred option!

[@andrewmccune2895]

Champion next 0.5% playrate, they did him so dirty.

[@thieve4782]

IMO its going to feel so good to LOGIN and have literally a boat load of items/currency waiting for you. This also on top of the base game can't feel anything but fun right? Unless the timing is off for this stuff I don't see how this league can fail.

[@EcIips3]

Since you got multiple bingos you should do HC Ruthless XD

[@TalkativeTri]

gahgahhahahhahaaa

[@joelcuerrier4833]

For HC those guys give you tips on using defensive auras and being careful. Having looked at your build, the proper tip is: Use more than a single alchemy orb to craft your gear. Truly, your belt was the worst craft I ever seen anyone do on an expensive base. If your items have 6 real mods instead of 2, you have more defenses and more damage. Don't take it as an insult, but your belt was horrible. They use worst gear on HC than on SC by a large margin, but you still gotta push to have more mods on gear.

[@TalkativeTri]

lmao are you talking about my VFOS belt? Thank you, sir.
