Ritual and Echoes of the Atlas Impressions Podcast - Inspired Learning Ep 15 [Mostly Spoiler Free]

So much new Path of Exile Endgame and League content to discuss and talk about. Badger and Yoji catch up on the builds they've been playing as league starters in trade and solo-selffound, talk about the new endgame boss fight encounters from Maven Invitations, Uber Bosses, the Maven herself and the feel of the Atlas Progression system as of 3.13. Harvest integration once again becomes a bigger topic as does Ritual league. The simplicity of the league mechanic versus some of the highest hights and the lowest lows of the Defer system. I hope you are as excited as we were to dive into this discussion!

[@ItsYoji]

Hey! Finally managed to get this one up, we had a bit of a scuffed setup as mentioned in the Podcast. Good news is, Badger's stream seems to be working again by now :) I'll try make some rough timestamps for this one soon TM.

[@sfh6821]

I started playing during Heist league and this one is sooooo much more fun.

[@kiroky95]

Harvest craft incubators... Nailed it!

[@AutoTauri]

Agreed with badger on the fanaticism charges thing, I had an idea to use Brain Rattler and static strike to maintain it, unfortunately the static part of the attack does not generate charges despite maintaining fortify :(

[@lunchbox2314]

Group found sounds amazing.

[@lvh5981]

The multi breachlord fight is probably the new hardest fight in the game its absolutely wild

[@1911Zoey]

If its not a white invitation, prepare to lose that exp. Lol

[@Srial3523]

Yojis General Zod cosplay game is ridiculously OP.

[@peterheath2308]

Badger, I don't know how to manipulate market mechanics, but I'm not playing catch-up, I'm playing. Playing full on trade-machine is no fun for me, so I play what I enjoy. I know enough to get value for playing the content I enjoy. My time is too precious to play a game that in a way that I don't enjoy.

[@Bloob4242]

Oh yeah! Inspired Learning action

[@derspielmann4158]

Great Podcast guys! Greetings from Germany, hope you are well and stay safe!

[@aervanath]

Today I learned Badger really likes playing Path of Excel.

[@Jordan488]

SOOOOO TRUE Yoji! I think of running heist but thinking of the rouge level and gears to do. ok put those one side lol

[@brettfingy7787]

On crashing. Playing on Xbox One S. Many many crashes! Also lots of graphics bugs! Even handy to have a golem to find invisible mobs to finish ritual!

[@phraun]

Yeah this league has been awesome, apart from technical weirdness. I've been largely ignoring heists apart from quest and unique contracts, though that may eventually change once I finish my atlas out.

[@xedden2]

Is there a guide to his ignite build anywhere? Is it basically his big bang build from last league but with an elementalist instead?

[@Marwington]

There's divine ire elemementalist somewhere on poebuilds. You can probably just get golems, aegis, the ignite node and be just fine after layering some stuff on that while doing anything with the rest of stuff.

[@kiragi17]

39:30 I crash ever 60 minutes or so. I launch through steam and shortly after the PoE locks up steam also freezes up. If I don't reload steam every time PoE crashes *and* force quit the steam bootstrapper PoE crashes within the next 5 minutes if I attempt to reload. It's incredibly frustrating and makes playing the game a struggle.

[@MJR_heyfunny]

I'm so frustrated with the League this time as far as harvest goes I'm 200 Maps into end game and I've never seen a single Harvest Zana Missions included

[@linkmasterof1]

You guys are great. I always enjoy the podcast, but hearing about a league start going too well and having too much damage can get a bit grating after a while. It's kind of like someone doing a backflip into a pool of their own money and complaining that the landing was too soft. Just a minor gripe. Regardless, stay well and keep up the good work.

[@danielbr93]

39:57 - I think we need a bit more context on why you use it, but don't use dynamic resolution if you don't like it :)

[@ItsYoji]

oh the game going full pixel mode just means it would freeze or stutter if I had it off. That is of course worse. I simply used it as an indicator of performance being bad.

[@danielbr93]

@@ItsYoji Hmm... you might want to try the thing I mentioned to Badger on Twitter. Look into DDU to completely wipe your graphics drivers and see if that helps.

[@ItsYoji]

@@danielbr93 I'll look into it once I got the time to do this. Ty for the advice. For now I just deal with some retro gaming action.

[@danielbr93]

@@ItsYoji Understandable. Can take 1-2 hours and after an 8 hour work day, not the most fun thing to do 😅

[@near3d945]

ok so it wasnt just me i did the breach lords one 1st since i thought it would be easy their normally a lot easier than shaper/elder guardians. I even did it with mods on. Summery it didnt end well i couldn't bust them down fast enough so i had to fight all 4 at the same time. the field was a mess. I failed finally decided to buy a level 21/20 gem bought the stones again and did it with no mods. a hit still took 90% of my hp. So the elder/shaper guardians is easier good to know? i felt lucky it ended up to be very profitable since i anticipation shield dropped.

[@VytautasMockus]

Regarding performance issues.... I can't understand how anyone thought that this new engine tech is a good idea to implement on league start

[@nebucadneza1914]

re installed the game. updated geforce driver. now i have no crashes (at least on juice maps) but with DX i cant play... it stutters and my FPS graph looks like the swiss alps

[@truton1060]

Sounds like badger is having memory leak issues

[@DragonCaller1]

you know i think badger realized something today, trade league isn't for him. saying that harvest is still over powered because its in trade league is like saying poe trad is over powered during a trade league.

[@ss5gogetunks]

Imo the expansion is really awesome, but the league mechanic is mostly just OK. Like, it's fun and all, but it's not what makes the league feel so good, that's the expansion stuff and harvest going core, imo

[@danielbr93]

Heist KEKW

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Badger lost hair color from that 24/7 mindless playing PoE ! This dude actually complaining about already being done in trade while PLOWING through the game. It's like the only thing he wants is to burn out ASAP, just to complain about it the rest of the league in every single video.

[@MrBazz420]

i was going to say something like that, here have a like

[@ThisisBadger]

Apologies about how it came across, my aim wasnt to alienate or boast or anything, im still having a tonne of fun but i really did rush too fast :D

[@Cryttanz]

Don't shit on harvest, if you don't want to progress so fast then why are you trying? Go SSF like Yoji if you don't actually enjoy progressing fast.

[@thecpu3949]

Tell Badger that Uul-Netol, Esh and Tul are girls and other two are dudes.

[@chrisklooz9538]

Not first... :(

[@d3content968]

Ritual is probably the worst league since blight. The expansion is amazing. The ascendency is great. I personally have been struggling to make currency compared to heist league but that's okay. I guess for me this is a pretty underwhelming league as a whole I'm already getting burnt out.
