[PoE] Affliction - the most profitable league for our group EVER - Stream Highlights

[@Empyriangaming]

What a blast this week was, group MF is in the best state ever. Blue juice has probably gotta go long term lol Splits tweet in the description! Thanks for watching!

[@rang3rj3sus94]

Very relatable

Why would you ever bother playing group? Solo is more profitable, look at Fubgun. He has a better ratio of divines per person than empy group

[@korcidiamond3623]

The body will eventually react to these long periods of not moving. I like empy and many office jobs sit very long obviously. But they are so invested in that game at league start... That they sit so many hours in a week...

This made me laugh too much

[@534nMCp633]

This is the way it should be. I will never play at this level, but I like knowing it's possible. The best groups should be getting the best rewards. Please farm more Esquires so the price drops, thank you.

[@-MohammedElSyed-]

Is this even game at version 3.23 and not semi-baked pre-pre-pre alpha with cheat codes on?

[@bailly1998]

in what way should group play in an inherently solo game ever be the most efficient way to play the game. It deincentivices people from actually playing the game, knowing that "i should be running with a group instead". Group play should be as close to equal or always worse than solo play, cause the incentive of group play is you get to play with your friends instead. Also loads of the solo method in that high end, that was mentioned, requires way more effort on the 1 person, than group content does on all the people for example.

[@DrageBois]

@@bailly1998 Not sure if you did the math but the mappers got 200 div each playtime 104 hours that's less than 2 div per hour and you are talking about it being the most efficient way to play the game. Plus all the prep they do. Not really the most efficient per player it is very close to solo play just being better div/hour just FYI

[@the.josh.brandon]

​@@bailly1998or you can just play trade without worrying about the state of the economy, seeing as all content in this game is clearable as SSF? If you really cared about maximising profit per hour you would play the system and exploit holes in the market anyways. This permanent economy focused trade mindset makes no sense to me if it's not something you consistently find fun to engage with

[@bailly1998]

@@DrageBois Are you stupid ? 200 div each. They have 30 mirrors and 2k divs. + all the gear and other stuff they have. He said it himself they got 15 ish + divs per person per hour.

14:40 wow, I thought this party MFing was insane, no idea that sanctums make that much money, even this league, was waiting for it to get nerfed, but I don't know how to do sanctums that well, I have no idea how to deal with ravaged blight maps as its so much bubblegum currency and items (plus I suck at blight), also how does one even bossrush and make money excluding TFT?

[@963andrei]

guardain/elder/sirus maps and invtiations and more speed= more currency. I did lightning warp boss rushing last league and it was 13-16 div/hour depending on how much I focused

[@Th3p1x3lhugg3r]

I hope to get answer on this but why do traders get so much more currency? I would love to sit on ho and just spam trades lol

Go watch Indeed317's stream while they're doing this and you'll see. Man is a machine. The traders are what enable them to do this.

snaps helmet base alone is more than that 93 div btw XD just saying

[@Empyriangaming]

There was similar Mask of the tribunals for 28 div which was slightly better because of cast speed / multi from int / dex so we priced it at 20 div.

damn well that would have been a good flip checked the market and the first es base aura effect helm was 50div and it was bad base@@Empyriangaming

Ignore the plebs the plebs that doesn't understand how hard it is to do group content like this. They see loot and think it's all theirs and is easy to get.

I tried just mapping with my friends, just unlocking unique maps etc Turns out our pcs cant handle regular maps on a trio

[@mrbobo180]

Put every setting on the lowest and somewhere at the bottom there is a setting (dont know the name think it is dynamic something?) which makes it so when you have more things on screen it just deletes half of it, it also makes your pixels go from 1080p to like 4p which makes the game waaay less laggy. For my potato PC it removed all projectiles my friend shot which made me lag 10000x less :) hope it helps

[@EspyMelly]

Edit: I was not aware of the possibility of using a geforce now subscription to play the game, so that's a good alternative for this since input delay isn't much of an issue when you can barely see what's going on to begin with. For those wondering if you can do this if you just get 5 other no-lifers together, keep in mind Empyrean has a very high-end PC last I checked and this often turns into a powerpoint for him. Unless most of your group spends 3k+ dollars on their PC's you're probably gonna struggle with unplayable framerates and client crashes.

[@raybk9677]

they use geforce now. costs 20 bucks

[@davidn3366]

Running this strat atm. Not a beast pc, 2060 and 4 year old processor,, and it's a slideshow but pc sleeps since it can't properly render. Crashes feels more due to server issues rather than specs. But obviously you can't do this on a shitty laptop.

[@EspyMelly]

@@davidn3366 Your CPU is probably getting hammered more than your GPU if I were to guess, since the GPU is just sitting there waiting for the next slide to render. This game is very CPU-heavy.

[@tanis016]

He is not using his pc, he is using geforce now instead because it gives you a more stable connection which it's not very expensive.

[@Empyriangaming]

You CAN do this on a shitty laptop actually, 20 $ subscription to gforce now and you can play on a beast rig with 4090 in it.

@@chrislangley245 True. For me, the game is most fun when my character is completely decked out. Like, I can get around 20-30 divs an hour harvest rerolling, crafting, flipping and then get my hh in a day. Then I don't even bother touching this shit and do maps all league. It's not fun at all, but it is the fastest way for me to reach the most fun part of the game.

Disparity in what? There are multiple solo/duo strats that match this currency/h

[@jnssmnsn]

@@Empyriangaming Is there really, could you name a few? Maybe even do a comparison video. That would actually be an interesting video to watch. I find it hard to believe a solo player can grind 30 mirrors + 2000 divines or whatever the final count ended up being. Even if you divide it by the amount of players in the group, this number seems staggering. As even stated by one of your members in this video.

[@linkofkokori]

​@jnssmnsn he literally talks about it in the video. 6 people at 104 hours not counting traders is 624 man hours in the game. 624x10d/hrs low end of sanctum running is 6240 divine / 275 per mirror is 20+ mirrors which is what the mappers got cumulatively

[@moo4700]

@@jnssmnsn he legit talks about several strats in the vid and you can join fubgun's stream right now and see that he has 5 mirrors + a 4 mirror character and hes full solo. There are 100% duos and even solos with more currency than him at this point

Well they had 30 mirrors, so 5 each... But if they wanted to split 1 they'd convert it to divines and split that

Something is off this league. It got that Diablo 3 "Season of All" feeling to it. Everything drops. This is the first time I vendor 6 links from my regular map runs. 6 links are worth 1 chaos. 6 links with white sockets are worth perhaps 10 chaos. Currencies drop like madness. Scarcity in POE this league is gone. *This is the "Inflation League"*

[@Insanati]

This is the "we're done trying to turn PoE1 into PoE2 league" and a return to how leagues used to feel. Hopefully it continues along this path. Game hasn't been this enjoyable since Sentinel.

[@axel_r_]

@@Insanati I enjoy the game and the league, but the items and currencies used to hold some real values. They are getting somewhat lost in this league. If you get too many QoL than the game becomes BL3. BL3 was great fun, but the mechanics and the increase in rare loot drop made it die quickly. I have played since Closed Beta in POE. I have never felt inflation hit so hard as in this league.

The problem with the mechanic isnt even that its overtuned for normal mapping. Honestly its SIGNIFICANTLY worse than Sentinel for example when it comes to just juicing regular mapping. The problem is it scales WAY too much with MF etc. Im lvl 95, have done the mechanic every single map and have so far had not a single divine drop this entire league (Probably only 93 without Sanctums)

[@DreamGamingS2]

Prio blue juice over everything and that will change. If you don't have at least 4k blue juice then you're not getting the divines.

[@963andrei]

2k blue and 2k yellow nets multiple divines drops from my experience also even 30% quant increases the drop rates by a shit ton EDIT: its much better with more rares and 80+ quant in maps and it gets crazy with 8 mod maps
