Forever Exiled is a Path of Exile podcast hosted by Justin (Tagz) and Tyler (Wrecker of Days) that covers all things Path of Exile. We’re both heavily obsessed with the game. Every time we go out for dinner, the conversation quickly turns from real life to the builds we’re playing, the news that GGG has released, and all of our opinions and dreams regarding it all. We talk so much PoE, that a podcast just made sense ;-). Tagz has been playing Path of Exile since Beta in April 2012 and Wrecker eventually joined in 2014. We both have very different playstyles so there doesn’t seem to be an end to the things we can make fun of each for. So, if you want to join a couple of buds talking PoE over a few drinks, pull up a chair and enjoy yourselves!
The podcast Forever Exiled – A Path of Exile Podcast is created by Tagz, Wrecker of Days. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
Hazaa! Our first balance patch of Path of Exile 2's Early Access! We played as much as we could today (launch day) before recording and, no joke, could have easily doubled the length of the episode. GGG's 0.2.0 patch is out and it's loaded with changes to fuel us for months! We hope you're enjoying Dawn of the Hunt! Thanks, as always for your listens each week. You all rock!

Welp! Apparently it's "pull back" week. Whether you're into Path of Exile 1 or 2, GGG has something for you to get pulled right back into your game of preference. 3.26 and 0.2.0 still have undetermined dates but Settlers of Kalguur has new life and even racing is back on the train! It sounds like the good old GGG is back. Have a fun week! We appreciate you!

Poor GGG (kind of). Another heartfelt apology video came out this week to all Path of Exile 1-3.26 hopefuls. Path of Exile 2 is all hands on deck and GGG is working hard to give us the best game they can make. In the mean time, we get what we get, and we don't get upset... Except we obviously we can, cuz promises are promises...but still, they love us.

Happy New Year, Everyone! We hope you've had a great time since the holiday season took off. Hopefully, the rest of the holidays treats you well too! With the Christmas lull in effect we had tons of time to settle into Path of Exile 2's beta and theory-craft new ideas, progress on old ones, and do a little daydreaming while we're at it. We're looking forward to the next wave of GGG patch notes! That's for your support each and every week! You rock!

Path of Exile 2! The world has now had a full week of Early Access and we have both taken full advantage. We've "cleared" our calendars and have been playing it non-stop. This week, like all weeks, but especially this week, we couldn't stop talking about our experiences, hopes, and build(s). It's an exciting time to be in Path of Exile Land! Hopefully, GGG is feeling the same. Thanks for listening each and every week! We love being a part of your weekly routine. Have fun with PoE and may the RNG be with you.

Episode 269 is the last episode of the Path of Exile 1 era! Next week we'll be playing Path of Exile 2's Early Access and this week was non-stop hype. GGG is in the final stages of dotting their "I"s and crossing their "T"s but for us, even while we're in meetings, we can't stop thinking that PoE 2 is just around the corner. You've been amazing to us through this great Path of Exile 1 journey. We can't thank you enough! We're looking forward to starting this new journey with you of Path of Exile 2! Love ya!

With the conclusion of GGG's biggest announcement ever (arguably), we can't handle talking about anything else! If only we had more time! Episode 268 of Forever Exiled takes you through all our hype and reservations regarding the upcoming Path of Exile sequel (which we'll all be able to access in just a couple of weeks). Reveals are the best and GGG came out swinging! Thanks for joining us this week. It's always a pleasure to hang out.

The guilt! The shame! But not in GGG Land! This week, in episode 267, we discuss both big news articles that hit the Path of Exile fanbase this week. Big news, big moves, and closet confessions. The next few weeks are going to be big! Thank-you to all of our listeners throughout the years for helping us reach a combined total of 500 episodes! Making us a part of your weekly routine is humbling and mind-blowing. We are honoured to be a part of it. We wish you the best in the coming weeks to the PoE 2 announcement, the beta, and the next 500 episodes! Love ya!

This week, in Forever Exiled's 266th episode, we have just as much fun as we do in all of our other episodes. Delays can't slow us down! GGG came out with a couple of teasers for Path of Exile 2, along with releasing their 2nd 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league. Even when there's nothing PoE to talk about, there's always something PoE to talk about. Oswald's got us daydreaming and the Mercenary has us theory-crafting. Thank you for all of your faithful support each and every week. It's an honour being in your weekly routines. Love ya!

As disappointing as a delay for anything you're excited for can be, GGG gave fans a lot to take in and talk about this week. We're no different than any other fans of Path of Exile so we delve into PoE 2's delay, 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur "expansion", and all fun assumptions in between. Hopefully you're all having a great week and thanks for turning on our show again. We love your faces.

We're just around the corner to Path of Exile 2's Beta! In Episode 264 we talk about the rest of GGG's comments that we dug up from from their active Reddit days. Some things have yet to be determined (well, all of it is), and some things we could confirm from our hands-on experience in LA. We can't wait for the announcement for PoE 2's beta and we're sure you can't wait either! Thanks so much for your support! We love being a part of your weekly routine and we hope you're having an awesome 3.25. Love ya!

You know what? Episode 262 is rad. We even talked about Path of Exile (for a bit). 'Tis the season for getting sick, catching up, being thankful, and theory-crafting how to best slay for XP. GGG is working hard on PoE 2, some of you are still grinding away at your 40/40 hopes and dreams, and most of you can't wait for the next league or Beta. Either way, we love you and can't thank you enough! You all rock!

This week in our 261st episode we get wonderfully side-tracked on the hopes and dreams for the Path of Exile 2's Beta. GGG made an announcement of an announcement, which we love, and it got us going. Hopefully you're enjoying 3.25's Settlers of Kalguur. We love your faces; thanks for everything!

It's episode 259 and we are halfway through our Forever Exiled 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur private league! We are both having a fantastic time with our characters and with those who are able to play this time around. Things haven't always gone our way, but it's been a great time nonetheless. It's awesome catching up with friends and loved ones while GGG works on 3.26 and The Path of Exile 2 beta. We love you and thank you so much for your continued support!

With only one day down for our Forever Exiled 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur private league, with real life cranking it up a notch, and a slow week in Path of Exile land, we finally made our goal of having a sub 45 minute episode. Of course, we are excited to keep playing in our HCSSF event and appreciate everyone participating and enjoying themselves. Don't forget to laugh at everyone that dies! You know GGG does. Keep that yellow death text coming! Thank you for your listens every week, whether you participate in the private leagues or not! You all rock!

It's episode 256! And, what better episode to discuss anything we want! GGG put out a Path of Exile 2 boss video, Justin played Wow, Tyler theory-crafted, and through it all Settlers of Kalguur is still going strong. Hopefully, you're enjoying 3.25 as much as we have!

It's Episode 255 and what a week to naturally prove how much we love Path of Exile. GGG came out with almost no posts in the past two weeks, yet with only 3 minutes of posts, both regarding Path of Exile 2, we talked non-stop about Beta's, timelines, and bosses so much that we ran out of time! Settlers of Kalguur had some big patches, and...that's nice. You're wonderful and we can't thank you enough for your support! Thanks a bunch!

In episode 254 we had the pleasure of sitting down with ZiggyD! Ziggy has been a staple in the Path of Exile community since its inception and it was a lot of fun to pick his brain about life, Path of Exile 1, and his recent experiences with GGG and Path of Exile 2 (and yes, of course asked about his lawn...).

It's time to scratch that itch! We just finished the second week of Settlers of Kalguur and have lots to say about it! There's been so many changes to experience that it's going to be tough to get it all in! GGG has been busy with balance patches and we've been busy theory-crafting! Strikes, Slams, Bleed, Poison, Chief, Champ, Necro, the options are too much! 3.25 has been a big jump for us and we're still enjoying experiencing it all! Thanks, as always, for your listens each week. It's a pleasure to be a part of your weekly schedules!

We're not even done the first week of GGG's 3.25 expansion, and dare we say it, it's one of our favourite Path fo Exile leagues so far. Settlers of Kalguur was released so well, that we've been having fun with our builds while considering what else we'd rather be playing! Theory-crafting is always its best when the game is in top shape...and for us, 90% of the time, that's where our head is at. We hope you're having as good an experience with this league-launch as we are, and we can't thank you enough for your constant support! Love ya!

It's here! 3.25's Settlers of Kalguur league-launch! A league like this is so unique, it's bound to draw lots of attention, and hopefully, for GGG's sake, lots of retention! We both are still in the acts but have had lots of time to fiddle around with all of the new details, and couldn't wait to share our experiences so far together. We can't wait to deal with the endgame experience for both the core game and the league itself. GGG really went all out for this league and we can't wait to delve right in! Thanks for listening each and every week! We hope you're having awesome Path of Exile sessions!

We don't mean to get ahead of ourselves here, but these expansions for Path of Exile One are getting so big that they seem too good to be true! The quality of life that GGG has been pumping out for the last half a year to a year is so exciting, not just today, but for tomorrow as well! The league itself is as unique as they come, and seems to promise the opposite kind of maintenance from 3.24. Hopefully you all enjoy the episode; we attempted to add some video for our quarter millennium mark (for our YouTube buddies). 250 episodes is quite the number, and we can't thank you enough for all of your support. Whether you support us with Patreon, Discord boosts, an active chatter in our community via whatever medium, or are a listen-only kind of person, we can't thank you enough for taking our hobby to the heights that it has reached. Cheers to you and wait to share another 250 with you! Thank-you!

With 3.25 , Settlers of Kalguur, around the corner, GGG is starting to really pump out the teasers! Next week will be the full reveal, but the number of QoL changes coupled with some currency modifications are definitely getting us quite excited! GGG definitely seems keen on Path of Exile one maintaining its relevancy! We are excited for the reveal next week and had a great time talking about the teasers to tide us over! Thank you for your listens this week and for your support! We hope you enjoy the conversation and we'll see you next week for the full reveal!

In episode 248 we had the pleasure of taking Talkative Tri "out for a drink"! The three of us met in LA for the most recent playtest of Path of Exile 2 and had so much more to talk about than what we had time for there, so here we are! We catch up on our trip, of course (cuz we're not savages) but obviously we get really into the nitty-gritty of our experiences playing PoE 2. We all had great times with the game and have some pretty different opinions regarding the direction we hope they go. Hopefully, you enjoy the banter! Thanks to Tri for joining us! It was great to chat with you again!

We had the pleasure of running into J1mmy and Flutten in LA (at the Path of Exile 2 Play Test) and are pleased to be able to continue the conversation of his first-time-ever-playing-PoE experience. The conversation brings up points that experienced players would likely never think of, along with perspectives familiar to long-time players. It was a pleasure to have J1mmy in the neighbourhood!

It's a normal episode! Back to the basics, but let the good times roll. The past two weeks have been unique with the Path of Exile 2 play test and we'll have some guests for the next couple of weeks, so this was our little hiatus of home and comfort. Skills and supports were the majority of our PoE talk but we took a few minutes to shout out Reddit as well. We had a really fun time with this week's episode and hopefully you will too! If you're still playing 3.24's Necropolis, we hope you're having a great time! Thanks for the listens, everyone!

Now that we have passed the embargo date that GGG set for the PlayTest they invited us to, we just can't stop talking about the differences between Path of Exile 1 & 2!

We had a lot of fun this week! GGG invited us to Los Angeles to play Path of Exile 2! We play-tested all of the new additions that they've added and they were keen to get feedback on it! We had an amazing time both with the event itself and meeting so many members of the community. There's so much info to discuss that we're going to have to split it up into at least two episodes! Couch co-op, controller, quality of life, informative UI, gameplay, customization...there's so much to cover and not enough time! Thanks, GGG, for the invitation and your generosity! We had a great time!

GGG blew our minds this week! 3.24's Necropolis didn't get touched this week. GGG posted a video while at a PlayStation conference this week that dramatically impacts Path of Exile play on both PC and Xbox/PlayStation. PoE 2 is changing so much of the core Path of Exile experience for everyone and we can't wait to try it out this coming week in LA! Thanks, GGG, for the invite, thanks listeners for your support, and make sure to watch GGG's 5-minute Console Gameplay Reveal. It's worth it. Love ya!

Apparently 3.24's Necropolis is dead. Who cares! GGG made a big (controversial) splash in the patch notes department this week, and though it wasn't with the purpose of spicing things up, social media sure got spicy in response! There's always lots to catch up on and look forward to with Path of Exile. So, whether you're still playing, or waiting for the next league, we hope you enjoy this week's shenanigans! Thanks, as always, for your support each week! We love your faces 😊 .

It's episode 239! And you know what that means? Nothing! It's week 5 of 3.24's Necropolis and players are still going strong with their corpse crafting. Life keeps on ticking away, and it's always good to catch up with friends. Our private league is ready to go and we are all going to hate it 😉. GGG had a slow announcement week this week which gives us hope for a three (instead of a four) month league. It's too bad Path of Exile 2's beta is no longer one month away but we're sure 3.25 will be glorious. Thanks for listening this week! We love your faces and hope you are well.

Realizations, theory-crafting, filters, posts, PoE 2, and IRL dominate episode 238. I know that shounds like a lot of hopping around, but it's all tied together through the perfect rambles of conversation.

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Rory Rackham, Lead Game Designer for GGG! He's had an impact on so many (maybe all?) aspects of Path of Exile and has been a major voice in the development of the game since PoE itself was in diapers; a true cornerstone of the company. In episode 237 we talked about the life of Rory, what led him to GGG, how the ride has been, where it's going, and snack bars! We had such a good time getting to know him, that we were surprised when the questions came to an end! Thanks, Rory for giving us your time! We had an awesome time getting to know you. And, of course, thanks to everyone who joined us this week. We can't thank you enough for your support and we know you'll love getting to know Rory more!
Check this out after you've listened to the episode. It's Rory rap we referred to:
"...Now this is a story all about how
ES got nerfed right into the ground
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I made our Int defences totally fair
At the top of the tree, it was nerfed and raised
On niche builds was where it spent most of its days
Not for min-maxin', just trying to be cool
If you didn't like life, CI was your tool
'Til Vaal Pact and GR let it put life to shame
Started making trouble in the metagame
It cakewalked the fights and the team got scared
We said, "You're getting a big rework 'til the meta's repaired."
I ground down the values on all of the gear
Had to buff some base types to keep it all fair
All to nerf what you could get from the best rare
Then I whipped up new life mods
That all armour could share
We dialed down some keystones, giving them all a flaw
We tweaked crafted mods and we added some more
So that's all the changes
But don't you be a hater
You'll try it all out and we'll tweak it in Beta"

The .1 patch is out! You know a league is set once the .1 patch gets released. GGG changed up some pretty big details in Path of Exile with it too! We're still having a great time playing Necropolis while trying out a whole bunch of different Atlas ideas, crafting strategies, respecs...it's all a PoE lovers dream. Hopefully you're enjoying the time you're putting into 3.24, along with episode 236's conversation! Thanks for tuning in!

Now that we each have a full week of 3.24's Necropolis under our belt, we couldn't stop talking! GGG had a crazy last couple weeks of posts, PoE 2 updates, and bug fixes...but in episode 235, we couldn't help ignoring all that and instead just talked about the league, our builds, and how both halves of Necropolis have helped (or not) our playthroughs. There's a huge fun per hour element going on here; we couldn't have gone on for hours! Path of Exile consumed much of our lives this week. We hope you enjoyed what you played!

It's 3.24 Necropolis' league launch day! Hazaa! Hooray! GGG had big ambitions for this league and we were both very excited to get our hands on it and see how it turned out. We had the opportunity to try out some of the new gems and quality of life features that were added to Path of Exile and couldn't wait to share our experiences with each other. (And we can't wait to try out the rest!) League launches are like Christmas here at Forever Exiled, so Merry Christmas! It's episode 234! And of course, thank you so much for your weekly support.

3.22 Trials of the Ancestors has now been out for 2 weeks and it seems that Path of Exile is almost happy with the balance of the game and new league mechanic. With only a few more gameplay changes in the works, GGG is overseas giving us more Path of Exile 2 teasers about the Druid and further PoE2 designs. We both had loaded Path of Exile weeks this week, along with a change of heart. Thanks for always hanging out with us as we discuss our favourite game. You make this happen!

What a week! So many changes and bug fixes for 3.22! We've had lots of things drive us bonkers, but we've also had so much fun! The new Atlas Passive Tree options, new Ascendancies, the Trials of the Ancestors gameplay, tattoos...it's been a really fun week (though, we are looking forward to some more improvements). Path of Exile and GGG have a lot on their hands with this league and we're excited to see where they go with it! Thanks for your listens each week! You're fantastic!

(I really wanted to put Trails of the Ancients in the title, but you know...) 3.22 Trials of the Ancestors is out! GGG's league that took 5 or 6 months to "fine-tune" is finally ready to go. The auto-bot league has begun and is sure to get better and better! Pull up a chair and drink and join us as we chat about our first foray into the new league. Thanks so much for your listens each week! 202 episodes is all thanks to you ❤️

It's time for another Patch Notes! This time, we have Brittleknee with us! It's been a while since our last league launch, longer than we're used to, and so there's tons of content to get to! 3.22's Trials of the Ancestors is one week away and GGG has given us lots to chat about! Even more so with PoE2's future in the distant horizon. Some of the patch notes are already old news because of ExileCon, but there's obviously enough new news that we could give you a nice long episode 😉. Thanks for joining us again, Brittleknee! And thank you to all of you for your listens each week! Have a great league launch!

There's still, so much to unpack from ExileCon 2023 that we'll likely be referring to it until its release date. Until then, it's uber nerd time! With GGG coming back to work on their ExileCon YouTube channel and 3.22's Trail of the Ancestors, we have lots of time to go over some of the conversations we've had with the community since the convention. Hopefully, you're enjoying your last week or two of 3.21's Crucible, or playing Path of Exile in Standard; 3.22 is just around the corner! Patch Notes next week!
(Also, it's episode 200! Thank YOU so much for all of your support and time. We don't release the shortest of episodes, so for you to take the time to listen to us for over an hour each week (2 hours for Patrons) is something we really appreciate. Thanks for giving us your time and support. You're the best!)

The new updates are finally here! There's been a long silence about Path of Exile 2 and it's finally time for some more reveals! There's so much to talk about with both the future of PoE 1 and the dream of PoE 2. 3.22's Trial of the Ancestors, ascendancy reworks, Sanctum going core...there's so much coming down the pipeline that we've been given stuff to talk about for a year to come. For those that went to the convention we hope you had a wonderful time. For those that watched the convention from home, we hope there was enough good and exciting news to mitigate the disappointing release date of Path of Exile 2. Thank you all for listening and congrats GGG on another convention!

Oh my goodness! ExileCon 2 is only one week away! Everything that we have been questioning and excited for is just around the corner! GGG has been working so hard and non-stop to make Path of Exile 2 the best game they could make for us. With only one week to go until we have all the news that we've been speculating about, we have almost no time left to daydream! Have a great convention whether you are going to New Zealand or watching the broadcast like us. You rock, and thanks so much for listening.

Welcome Diablo 4 players! Path of Exile welcomes you with open arms. You have two weeks to go until GGG makes some major announcements for the future of this game! 3.21's Crucible is almost done with "the special" 3.22 just around the river bend! We here at Forever Exiled can't wait for the next two weeks to pass as we're SO stoked, just like you all are for the news of what's to come. Thanks for the listens! We're almost there!

Don't hate us, but episode 196 of Forever Exiled is loaded with...well...unintentional expectations. GGG had an unintentionally big post this week regarding the dates of 3.22's league launch and what's to come before ExileCon 2. We also talked lots about Path of Exile 2 itself. It was a juicy episode thanks to GGG and we can't wait for ExileCon 2! Thanks as always for your listens and we can't wait to hear what you think! See you next week!

We're 4 weeks away from ExileCon 2 and we're still just as excited and baffled for what's to come as we were last week. GGG put out no trailers this week 😦 but that never stops supernerds like ourselves from conversation! Path of Exile is officially in "overtime" now and Crucible, well, who knows how it's doing numbers-wise, but it's a strong league and we hope you're enjoying it. Downtime is the best time for theory-crafting and we put it to good use this week! Thanks for listening to Episode 195. See you next week! Love ya!

3.21's Crucible still out but all people are talking about is Path of Exile 2. This week, GGG's Bex was busy on Twitter setting expectations, and creating more questions, for their upcoming conference and timetable afterwards. Like any self-respecting busybodies, we take to overanalyzing the tweets and attempt to come up with some new facts 😉. Episode 194 of Forever Exiled is lots of unscripted fun. It's always a pleasure to have you with us. Thanks for tuning in each week! We love ❤️ your faces.

Today in Path of Exile (2) news 😉, we dissect the latest (2nd) PoE 2 teaser trailer released in 2023, GGG's posts regarding mechanics and decorations, annnnnd Justin bought/played Diablo 4. Yes, 3.21 Crucible is still out, but there's so much to talk about each week that Crucible is kind of getting the short end of the stick. It's always more fun to discuss such speculation and comparisons with friends. Thanks for pulling up a chair and being with us each week! We love your faces!

In episode 192 of Forever Exiled, we go all over the map; from Co-op to lore to build hopping...and most definitely Path of Exile 2. GGG released the Ngamakanui teaser trailer at Summer Game Fest this past week and that one minute gameplay video of PoE 2 gave us a whole episode's worth of content to discuss. So, even though there's still 6 weeks left in the 3.21 Crucible league, we're very much looking to the future in this week's episode. Pull up and chair and a drink and join in! We love having you around ❤️ . As always, thanks for listening!

Our 3.21 Crucible private league came to an end this week and it was full of death, fun, and laughs. Thanks to everyone that played! We hope you died lots 😉 . Path of Exile and GGG had a quite week this week, which as you know, means nothing to us cause there's always good stuff to discuss. Tyler's PL progress surprised us, Diablo 4 is coming out this week, along with our hopes and dreams for PoE (2) are always enough to fuel conversation. (We almost didn't talk about Zombies.) Thanks so much for you great reviews! We really appreciate your support and love. Thanks for the listens and we look forward to seeing you again next week!

Stoopid Hardcore! 😉 It's fun to suck with friends...at a game, sickos. This week, we commiserate over our dumb hardcore deaths as we keep on trucking, and loving, our Forever Exiled private league (the 3.21 Crucible version). Path of Exile/GGG had a slow week when it comes to announcements so we had lots of time to chat about how lame really good players are, and how awesome it is when players like us die lots. The HC private leagues we do are always very exciting for us as it's so great to see our little community tease and encourage each other that much more. Hopefully those that played had a fun time. Thanks for all the support, everyone! You're fantastic.

We can't tell you how great it is to hang out with buds after a long week of work or theory-crafting (work is for chumps 😉). GGG had a slow announcement week this week which gave us an opportunity to go all Willie-nilly with the show notes and just chat. Don't worry, we squeezed in some Path of Exile 3.21 Crucible chit-chat on this "lawn-only" podcast. Though we had a lot of fun this episode (I guess we always do ❤️ ), we wanted to give a shout out to our community and thank you for all of your involvement, love, encouragement, and thoughtfulness to us but also to our community. You have wonderful hearts and we can't thank you enough for making this corner of PoE Land such a safe and enjoyable place to be. Thank you!

It's that most wonderful time of the year, where we get to do lawn and Path of Exile stuff in the same week! It's glorious! GGG had a slow week in terms of posts/announcements...which never matters to us. From Growing Hordes to Ascendancies, 3.21's Crucible still has us locked in. Yet, with all posts/fingers pointing to ExileCon 2, our minds start day dreaming as to what's down the pipeline. Thanks so much for spending time with us this week! Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!

In episode 187, we get going and just can't stop. GGG pumped out their huge 3.21.1 patch, along with slew of hot fixes. Not only is there tons to talk about regarding that patch but we had tons to say relating to our weeks in Path of Exile Land too. Crucible has kept us both in-game for a month straight! So obviously, that brings us to Diablo 4 😉 . We had a great time this episode (as we always do) and it's always great when you pull up a chair and hangout with us. Thanks for listening! We appreciate each and every one of you!

It's episode 186 of Forever Exiled! We're a good ways into Crucible now and there's still so much to do! Tyler's theory-crafting (daydreaming) while playing the Reaper and Justin's on his 3rd high 90s character. There's always something new to discuss in Path of Exile Land, and as usual, it leads us down the rabbit hole a bit ;). Thanks for your listens and support each week. We love what we do and we love having you with us! (Oh right! Did you know that Path of Exile is in league 3.21, which is called Crucible, and it's made by GGG?)

We're two weeks into 3.21's Crucible and the Forever Exiled community is playing the league strong. Our general chat (#2121) is nice and active and our Discord just keeps on trucking. GGG has come out with lots of fixes/changes since launch; some of which came almost too late for some. The great thing about Path of Exile is that no matter what build mood you're in, or what mechanic you feel like, there's something to scratch that itch. Hopefully, everyone is having a great 3.21! Thanks for listening! You're the best ❤️ .

We have a week under our belt! Path of Exile's 3.21 Crucible has gone under the knife a bit since it was released a week ago and so there's tons to chat about. Honestly, there would have been tons to talk about without the changes as GGG's league starts are always exciting! So, basically, we didn't get to talk about anything we planned for because of the changes 😉 . Don't worry, even though this is a "first week" episode, we're just as all over the place as usual. We know you love it! Thanks for your listens each week. We really appreciate you! Hopefully you're having a great 3.21!

Path of Exile player's get Christmas 4 times a year. So merry Christmas! It's league launch week! 3.21's Crucible is finally out and most of us now have had a chance to dabble with it! This week we go with no notes. (We'll do a two week catch up next week.) Outside of a few congrats and thanks we simply yap about our leveling experiences along with thoughts about the league itself. And, of course, Forever Exiled wouldn't be Forever Exiled if we didn't get side tracked 😉 . Our 183rd episode was tons of fun to make, and as always, we're glad you could spend it with us!

It happened! The long wait for the 3.21 league is over! 3.21's Crucible has revealed itself with all of its glory and it's...MASSIVE! The character passive tree is "completely" new, the Atlas Passive tree has "warp zones", Masteries...goodness...the Masteries, league mechanic revamps, ascendancy revamps, implicit changes, QoL love...the 3.21 patch notes were insanely huge and it impacts every build that exists. And don't get us started on Passive Trees for weapons!!! This 182nd episode of Forever Exiled was amazingly fun for the three of us to record. Thanks BK for joining us! And you too! It's always a pleasure to have you "pull up and chair" and join us.

It's our last week of 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum before the reveal of 3.21's Crucible and all the hype that's to come! With 3.21's league reveal next week, it's our last week to chat about whatever! Lawn season is beginning as spring has finally arrived here...hopefully we don't get injured with our hobbies so we can't play PoE! Or maybe this is the time to risk injury so we're all better for 3.21's league launch... The theory-crafting this week (which is obviously done during lawn care) took us down a few trails that ended with a defensive aura value conversation (complete with distractions). Thanks for joining us this week! We appreciate you stopping by us as often as you do 🥰 .

Well, this extra 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum time has flown by fast so far! GGG has already revealed the name for 3.21! Crucible! So many of our listeners are still playing Path of Exile, non-stop, in anticipation of all the changes coming, league by league, for Path of Exile 2...and don't worry, we go full prediction mode for both the coming league, ExileCon 2, and Path of Exile 2. And for those that wished we'd chatted Last Epoch the last couple of weeks, we touched on it, for you, finally 🙂 . Thanks for your marvelous support and listening each week. We love you!

It's another great day to talk Path of Exile (and Diablo, Path of Exile 2, Betas, and ExileCon)! This episode we give the critics what they want! A lot of deep dives into the minute and intricate details of 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum end-game epicness...hahahaha! Yup! That's us! Nailed it (right Eben?). GGG started the new month long Ruthless Gold event this week...and we barely talked about it. BUT, we didn't need it. There's always plenty of content to discuss for real nerds like us. Path of Exile FOREVER! Thanks so much for you listening! We appreciate you pulling up a chair and "sharing some coffee" with us each week 🙂

With just over a month left in the extended 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum, GGG has given Path of Exile diehards a lot of creative ways to spend their time, and with prizes too! Not to mention, there's lots of new ways to die! Imagine! You can kill your friends in Group Play, even if they're on the same team! How great would that week be!

In episode 177 of Forever Exiled, we go non-stop. And it all started with corpses. Darn it, GGG! After all this time playing Path of Exile we're still being surprised by how some mechanics work! Though we're coming to the tail end of the Forbidden Sanctum, there's still tons of gameplay to be had, Atlas Passives to respec, questions to ask, theory-crafting to be...crafted! 3.20 is such a good state of PoE...you can't blame us for still playing strong! Thanks for the listens everyone! Have a great week!

Not even real life can stop the love of Path of Exile in a true nerd's heart. This week's episode, #176, features a completely drugged up, but passionate, Justin, throwing his 2 cents around like nobody's business. We get into a cool idea for a 10-day event, some pros and cons of curse investment/application, and discuss an article we read reviewing GGG's game from the perspective of a new player. (Rabbit trails included.) 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum is still being played by many and we hope you're having a great time with it if you're one of them. Thanks for all of the lovely messages this week. We wish you all the best! Hopefully you enjoy being a part of this week's conversion! See you next week 🙂 .

With the Forever Exiled Forbidden Sanctum Ruthless private league officially under wraps, we take the opportunity to talk about everything we liked and disliked about Ruthless. GGG had a lot of community posts this week which always helps with the "rabbit trail" conversations 🙂 . We have 2 more months of Path of Exile's 3.20 and tons more to talk about! (Like noses?) Thanks for always being such great listeners! And thanks to those who joined in on the private league! We hope you had a great time.

Real life can't get in the way of epic nerdness! Thanks to GGG's "What to Expect for 2023" post, we read between the lines and discover some "facts" of what's to come. We cover "all the bases". There's Path of Exile 2, PoE 2's Beta, Dialbo 3, Diablo 4, Deckard Cain, Albino Rhoas and their feathers, Ruthless, 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum (going core?), 3.21, 3.22's true identity, ExileCon...let's just say we get lost in time 😉 .

Our private league is about to begin! Well, by the time this comes out it will already be in full swing, but you know what we mean. Both of us intentionally didn't try Ruthless until now, so our private league will be the first time we'll be trying Ruthless. We can't wait! So much so that this might be our shortest episode yet! (Our private league starts within 45m of writing this.) But don't worry. We still managed to get some talk in about space stations, androids, and mixing up some nasty definitions. Speaking of definitions, we brought up a great one for Path of Exile...what a great game. There's always lots of Path of Exile to discuss, no matter where we are in the league. Thanks, as always, for your wonderful support! We love your faces. Oh! On a side note, did you know that GGG makes a game called Path of Exile which is currently in the 3.20 league called the Forbidden Sanctum? If you didn't, now you do 😉 . Love ya!

Even with GGG having a slow announcement week in Path of Exile Land, we at Forever Exiled never seem to run out of something exciting to talk about. 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum still seems to be running strong and it's great to see the community still so into PoE. Episode 172 is exactly that for us, too. We talk about our respec's, theory crafting, defeating uber bosses we haven't done before, diminishing returns...we always seem to have to cut ourselves short as we could go on forever. Come!

Hopefully the new year is treating you all well! In episode 170 we get down to the nitty-gritty basics. 2022 was a crazy year for GGG with tons of additions and "removals" from Path of Exile. The annual retrospective GGG post took us down some really fun paths and unexpected conversations. It's amazing how much content gets put out in four leagues! And, no matter how long you've been playing the game, there's always a little room for a Eureka moment or two. As always, thanks for hanging out with us! We really appreciate you and we can't wait to spend another year together! Stay safe!

If you like any aspect of Path of Exile's gameplay (which, obviously, you do or you wouldn't be here), you won't want to miss this week's episode. In Episode 169, we had the opportunity to sit down with GGG's very own Hrishi! As a game designer for the game you love, he's had his fingers in the passive tree, unique items, Ruthless, gems...everything. Honestly, everything game-play. If you've thought of "character power" (which, obviously, you have or you'd be playing Call of Duty), then you've thought of him. As both a fan of the game and a passionate employee, we couldn't wait to hear what he had to say on all aspects of PoE. Whether you've been playing Path of Exile for only one league, or since Beta, you'll love the memories, insight, and humour that Hrishi brings to the conversation. Thanks, Hrishi for joining us, and thank you, everyone, for your listens each week!

It's Christmas time! And what a crazy time to release the coolest support packs we've ever seen! It's an MTX fiasco this week! Return all of the gifts you've bought for others! It's time to stock up in GGG Land! Path of Exile also came out with their huge 3.20.1 patch this week that added a whole bunch of different fixes, modifications, and additions to the game. Forbidden Sanctum is looking a little more spicey for close-quarter-combat players. Oh! Don't forget to update your filters! Episode 168 was another "double episode" as we talk non-stop about our re-rolls, atlas passive trees, build comparisons...we're loving Path of Exile and hope you are too.

So, you know when you have a fantasy draft of your favourite sports league and you get together with your buddy(ies) that are just as uber-nerdy as you about said fantasy sports league, and you talk about the draft results of everyone's rosters in your league...for hours? No? Well, I do. Here, we call that roster-bating. So, I need a two syllable word that's Path of Exile related to put in front of "bating". Preferably something that ends with the "er" sound. In the meantime, we nerd out 111% in this week's episode. E167 is just non-stop about the Forbidden Sanctum, 3.20's new core experience, GGG's direction, our personal experiences thus far...it really is non-stop chit-chat. We did our best not to interrupt each other, so that means half of the content we wanted to talk about will be available next week 😉 . Thanks for hanging out with us this week!

"It's that most wonderful time of the year!" "It's the hap-happiest season of all!" 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum launched just a couple of days ago and we got to get in a few hours of gameplay before recording. There's nothing like the excitement of what GGG provides us for the holiday season. It's like Christmas before Christmas! We were so excited, that we didn't even prep notes for episode 166 and still, we had to interrupt ourselves to end the podcast. Grab your seasonal drink and sit down with us as we go over day one of Path of Exile's Christmas launch. Thanks so much for your listens! You're all wonderful.

Episode 165 flies at a mile a minute! With the 3rd manifesto (curses) to discuss, along with 3.20's The Forbidden Sanctum reveal, Chris Wilson's interview with Ziggy D, and Patch Notes, we had SO much to talk about and nowhere near enough time. GGG touched so many aspects of their game with this release! It was impossible to discuss everything we wanted to, but don't worry, we'll end up bringing it all up in the weeks to come. We'll be playing Path of Exile non-stop and have plenty to say about it. Hopefully, you enjoyed the past 3 weeks of hype as much as we have! I appreciate you all and hope you have a fantastic league launch!

This is so great! GGG is spreading out its many manifestos over weeks! We had two last week and one this week! So in episode 164 of Forever Exiled, outside of our usual awesomeness, we talk about the Eldritch Altar changes with some tidbits on its impact on the core game. Plus, who doesn't love minions? Whether you play Path of Exile all day long or only a few hours a week, the coming changes have a benefit for you! 3.19's Lake of Kalandra will soon be 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum and it can't come soon enough! Nor can the Curse Manifesto ;-). Thanks for making us a part of your weekly life! We love your faces.

You know those times in life when you just can't wait for what's to come? Well, GGG had five posts this week that dramatically changed how Path of Exile's core is going to look in the future. Thanks to GGG, episode 163 of Forever Exiled is loaded with jewels, ailments, mitigation, Archnemesis modifiers, magic find, 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum...what a crammed episode! And that's not all! Just wait for next week's episode! 3.19's Lake of Kalandra extension is giving GGG lots of time to prepare us for the coming changes and so much to talk about. We can't wait to see what the changes will be like in-game! Thanks for listening each and every week. You're all fantastic!

Episode 162 is as good as they come. With 3.19's extension, GGG's given fans plenty of time to fill out their Lake of Kalandra checklist annnnnnd hype! With three or four weeks to go until the 3.20 release, GGG has given us an announcement that they will be announcing some changes (in the form of Manifestos) which will come before the announcement of 3.20 where they will announce many more things. Four or more manifestos will be coming out this week and we spend the episode talking about the information they've given us so far (in the announcement of the announcement), where we think the company is going with these changes, and what we hope they're going to do with them. Thanks for tuning in each week. You're simply the best!

Episode 161 means BK is back! Welcome back, Brittleknee! We missed you! The more friends you have that like Path of Exile, the better life is. GGG made some pretty cool announcements this week that gave us insight into the "fill-in" events happening to close out 3.19 and the new Ruthless Alpha testing as it prepares for its 3.20 launch. So there was lots to catch up on. We also have a lot of fans of the podcast still playing through the Lake of Kalandra...I wonder how many of them are playing with zombies? Hopefully all of them! They're your answer to the new Ruthless mode! Thanks, everyone for listening each week. You're very much appreciated. Have a happy and thankful Remembrance Day.

Ok. So. Here's the thing. Episode 160 is non-stop. It's not our fault! GGG just keeps posting stuff! Path of Exile's November Events have been announced and 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is not going core. That's a lot of juice to chug right there! But then our private league ended, we played PoE afterward as well, we posted stuff, we have opinions about other people's posts, community events and awards were posted...we pushed lots of subjects to next week's BK episode. Hopefully, you pulled up a chair to join us. This was a fun episode! (Well, they all are. And you're always welcome.) Thanks for the listens, folks!

Thanks for listening each week and thanks for the amazing reviews! Happy 9 years in PC Land, GGG!

Episode 158! With a game like Path of Exile, the theory crafting never stops! Well, unless you play GGG's game for a living...but we don't! So every week of the league is an exciting time to figure out our "what if" questions. 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is soon coming into its final month, our private league is starting, and Scions are going up everywhere! The theory crafting decisions never stop...and who wants them to!? Not us! Hosting Forever Exiled is always so fun no matter where the league is at. Thanks for having us as a part of your week each week! We love your faces.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Episode 157 of Forever Exiled is out and...is full of...thanks? We have questions. Lots of questions. We have questions about Archnemesis. We have questions about private leagues. We have questions about building builds. We have questions about "normal" resists. While GGG is focusing on tomorrow's Path of Exile, we're trying to keep our fun/hour nice and high, today. Whether you're still playing the league or simply listening to the show and waiting for 3.20, we're happy and thankful to be a part of your weekly lives. We love your faces!

It's been two weeks since we saw each other and last caught up on life and Path of Exile. Yet, in that time, even though most of GGG's 3.19 posts were about community events or involvement, you know what it's like being a PoE nerd; there's always something to talk about! KittenCatNoodle came out with your Lake of Kalandra lore video, the functionality of trade came up, "zombie love" brought us to some build discussions and AN comparisons, and obviously, we had lots of detours along the way. It's always great hanging out with friends and chatting about the game you love. Thanks, as always, for being a part, each and every week.

This week we took a forced break from our usual routine (you know, life stuff) and were visited by our lovely friend, ShakCentral! Welcome back, Shak! We went everywhere together in our discussions of Path of Exile; quest rewards, Archnemesis, boss fights, on-death effects, IRL jobs, currency conflicts, GGG's direction... Like any good conversation, we talked about everything that came into our heads and made fun of each other along the way. We could have talked for much longer than we did :). Hopefully, 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is treating you well. May the RNG be with you! Thanks, as always, for listening!

Welcome to Episode 154 of Forever Exiled, where we talk about Path of Exile, stuff, and things! Though the Kalandra traffic is dying down, there are still many 3.19 goodies to discuss. There's swag recognition, the Atlas Passive tree, theory-crafting, Exalts with vendors, patch notes, and a bunch of other side talk too! GGG is always hard at work improving our favourite game and these recent Archnemesis modifications show it. Thanks for listening, folks! You're all as perfect as they come.

3.19's Lake of Kalandra has gone through many changes in the last few weeks. Sometimes it's frustrating to play through league changes and patches, sometimes not. When we are frustrated, it can be easy to overlook the positive results of some of these changes. There's a lot to talk about in Path of Exile Land these days, and the .1 patch GGG put on it this week was no exception. Thanks for hanging out with us every week! We love your faces.

Another week, another sweep of Archnemesis changes. Another week, another response to Harvest wishes. Another week and GGG has been on their toes, pumping out communication posts, patches, and media presence. 3.19 has been busy for both fans and employees of Path of Exile. Lake of Kalandra has been an interesting league so far with endless subjects to touch on. Thanks again for joining us this week as we talk about our favourite game! We love your faces.

For episode 151 we have BK back to go through the first week of 3.19's Lake of Kalandra! It's been a big week for GGG as Path of Exile had a surprising start to the league. Loads of patches that include drop rates and Archnemesis changes, along with a humble post from Chris Wilson regarding the current league's launch and the game's direction. The community had lots to say about this week, and so did the three of us! Pull up a chair, drink, and hang with us as we talk about our week in Path of Exile Land. Forever Exiled loves your faces!

It's finally here! For our 150th episode, GGG has given us our first look at Kalandra. What a fantastic way to celebrate our milestone with some epic lore about one of Path of Exile's most iconic and mysterious characters. 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is filled with some "new normals; with the new Archnemesis setup, Atlas Tree changes, and mirror enemy planning, Path of Exile has given us lots to mull through and discover! Hopefully, your league starters are panning out for you! We're excited to keep playing and get deeper into the game. Thanks for listening folks! We appreciate each and every one of you.

Sooooo...GGG's 3.19 Lake of Kalandra Live Stream and Patch Notes were announced and posted this weekend. Sooooo...you'll never guess what we talked about in this episode. You'll never guess ;). Episode 149 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast is all about...LAWNS! ;-). We have so many things to talk about regarding this expansion; more than any other league that we can remember! The league and core changes are so exciting that we had a difficult time staying on subject. Hopefully, you enjoy what we had to say about the Patch Notes and Live Stream. Thanks so much for hanging with us this week! Enjoy the league launch and we'll see you next week!

Well! That was unexpected! So many mechanical overhauls! The Lake of Kalandra expansion is looking really spicy and with all the changes GGG brought to the table with the 3.19 Dev. Manifesto this week. You can bet that this episode won't be close to our target time of 45 minutes ;-). With so many mechanics and archetypes being changed, along with the teases of so much information still yet to come in the Patch Notes, we could have talked for hours. Please, pull up a chair and a drink, and join us in going through the ups and downs of the current direction of Path of Exile. Thanks for tuning in, folks! You're awesome :-)

Few EXPANSION names can excite us as much as Lake of Kalandra. Maybe this is the most intriguing one so far! With all of the possibilities with 3.19's title, GGG has us talking Path of Exile like we're new to the game! We even played 3.18's Sentinel this week and didn't even get to chat about it! Music, storytelling, quality assurance, predictions, lore, and all the other side stuff we talked about, flood episode 147. Hopefully, you enjoy the talk of the name reveal as much as we did! Forever Exile loves your faces. Thanks for listening!

This week's subject list was thrown out the window right as soon as we hit the conversation of Sentinel going core. So many good things to talk about! GGG's 3.18 isn't moving on to 3.19 but to us, that gives us just as much to talk about as if it was going core! We also get into the true heart of Path of Exile, theory-crafting. Nothing feels quite as good as being overwhelmed with theory-crafting options when trying out new builds. So bring up a drink, sit down, and chat with us :). We hope you enjoy Episode 146! Thanks for listening! You're fantastic.

Episode 145 features more non-stop Path of Exile chit-chat over some excellent cold drinks during this fantastic summer weather. We covered topics from how we finished off our Forever Exiled 3.18 Sentinel private league, some old and new game mechanic changes for 3.19, and reminiscing of old Dev. interviews by GGG, and TONS of relevant topics for today that stemmed from Chris Wilson's most recent interview this past week with Josh Strife Hayes. Thank you all for your fantastic support and we hope you enjoy this week's episode! You're the best.

We had such a fun time playing Hardcore this week in our Forever Exiled 3.18 Sentinel private league! For those familiar with us, I'm sure you can guess who was more successful than the other ;-). With GGG focusing more on 3.19, there wasn't much in GGG Land that came our way, but good luck in the Gauntlet for those that are playing! For us, there were so many builds, deaths, and laughs this week that we could have filled two more episodes with HC stories. Path of Exile is always more fun with friends. Thanks for being here with us each week! Hopefully, you're having a great 3.18!

Slow news weeks mean nothing to nerds who love their games! This week's conversation touched on Path of Exile's Archnemesis system, of course, but also a bunch of other topics that made our "short" episode, just as long as the rest. Mirrored drops, lawns, ascendancies, lawns, the TRUTH about Multistrike and Ruthless' relationship, lawns, ground effects...you can't stop nerds from nerding out. Thanks for listening to us and hopefully you enjoy the episode!

The best part about GGG having a slow week news-wise is that it gives us some time to discuss subjects that have been waiting in the background. With 3.18's Sentinel over a month old now, we were able to take this week to catch up (everyone's favourite part) and talk about Diablo 4's release window and its possible impact on Path of Exile 1 and 2. It was a good talk as we both have very different histories with Blizzard. Hopefully, you enjoy this week's talk as in the next couple of weeks we'll be diving back into gameplay-oriented talk with our Forever Exiled private league coming up. Thanks, as always, for your fantastic support and listening. You're all fantastic! And Happy Canada Day to the Canadians out there!

Happy Father's Day, fathers! Hopefully, you watched the Canadian Grand Prix, played lots of Path of Exile, and hung out (a little bit) with loved ones. Episode 141 features the one and only, BK, and we had a great time catching up with her about all things Sentinel, yards, and stabbings. Yup! Some of us love the state of the game, others, not so much...so the conversation and shenanigans just kept going. Thanks for the listens! We hope you're enjoying GGG's 3.18!

Cram time! We have 2 weeks' worth of chit-chat to catch up on and not enough time! GGG put out a few patches that had some big 3.18 changes (inc. Headhunter), lots of community thingies to point out, The Green Dream, Justin hitting 100 every league (from now on), What About Bob...it was another full episode that required pushing content on to the next week! Path of Exile's Sentinel is still going strong and we're loving it. Well, Justin is, Tyler's working on it (talking in the 3rd person feels off...). Thanks for the listens, everyone! Your support is amazing <3!

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Zizaran! Ziz needs no introduction to any fan of Path of Exile. His premium content is all over Twitch and YouTube; his name is synonymous with the game itself. Whether you're new to the game and barely browsed for PoE content or have tens of thousands of hours in Path of Exile, you've come across him, his passion for the game, and likely found content relevant for you too. His influence in the community is matched by few (if at all). For those who follow his broadcasts regularly, you know how honest and transparent he is. This interview is no different! We had a great time getting to know more about the Zizaran behind the camera and we hope you do too! Thank you for your support and all the listens! You're all fantastic.

You know a company loves their game when they're willing to get rid of their beloved immunities. Another wave of big improvements to GGG's 3.18 Sentinel and we aren't even at the .1 patch yet! Both of us had a decent amount of playtime this week, in Path of Exile, and we were both very excited to talk about how much fun we were having in our own different ways. Hopefully, you're liking the league as much as we are. Thanks for the listens! Your support is amazing!

3.18's Sentinel has already been out for a week, yet GGG has changed Path of Exile quite dramatically in that time! (Sure, ya. Technically it's the core game that's changed, not Sentinel, but they are closely tied together in this league.) One of us is still in the campaign while the other has already completed the atlas (you'll never guess which one of us is which). We've had a lot to say so far this week, and there's still plenty more to say! And seriously, who doesn't want a Sentinel as a real-life pet? Come on! Thanks for listening folks! You're fantastic!

One of the cons to recording on league-launch-day is that the issues we discuss get fixed by the time the episode is released two days later. OR, we'll say that the launch is really stable and then everyone else is having tons of crashes. It always happens! Ha! Well, this league is no different! But we had a great time getting used to the new 3.18 Sentinel mechanics, the new rare enemy mods, and the controller tree. GGG seems to have a lot up its sleeves and this seems to be just a taste of it. Path of Exile was in an amazing state in 3.17 and we can't wait to see what the rest of 3.18 does for it! Episode 136 of Forever Exiled was totally unscripted...who has time for notes on league-launch day! Come on! We hope you enjoy the episode and thank you, as always, for your encouraging support!

What a unique league reveal! So many unique approaches to improving and maintaining Path of Exile. Brittleknee was able to join us in our nerding out this week and the three of us couldn't stop agreeing with each other! 3.18's Sentinel is looking to accommodate every type of player that reaches endgame. And honestly, when was the last time you were able to plan your build so early before the league launch? GGG was a lot more public with their long-term plans in this reveal and they gave us some really nice short-term treats in the meantime. Thanks for listening, as always. You're all fantastic!

Super Scions, teleporting jewels, ascendancy pathing, store approach, Reddit love, Archnemesis review, it's all a part of Episode 134 of Forever Exiled. This might be the last of our 3.17 chats as next week GGG announces 3.18! It's been a lot of fun listening to those still playing Path of Exile this league and planning for 3.18. Hopefully this episode gives you, the die-hard, the fill you need (or at least part of it) to get you through to Announcement Day. Thanks for listening folks! YOU make this fun for us!

Let the 3.18 hype begin! Sentinel is just around the corner! And despite that, GGG is putting out patches to prep controller support and graphic updates as much as possible for launch. We recorded this episode in person, which we have only done once before (E100 with Tarke), and it was so fun we will likely do it again! Lots of communities in Path of Exile Land are still going strong in 317's Archnemesis and it's great to still hear their feedback for this league, and about the builds they hope won't be changed for 3.18. Thanks for the listens everyone! We appreciate you a ton!

With so many people still playing 3.17's Archnemesis, it's awesome to have 3.18's league teased already! This episode of Forever Exiled skips right past the personal stuff (almost) and goes straight to Path of Exile talk. GGG has a big overall quality patch coming soon and it's exciting to see with the higher quality standards the game has these days. Along with GGG's improved quality standards, we also talk about curses in multiplayer, hitting 100, and going to [one hundred and] eleven. (Insert Spinal Tap reference here.) Thanks for listening everyone! You're awesome.

YA! It's an episode with an end digit of 1! This means that Episode 131 of Forever Exiled is graced with more Brittleknee! It's always great to hang with BK and catch up with friends. This episode, like most others, is obliviously 99.9% Path of Exile content. The three of us go from Gardening to Borderlands, to Credit Cards, to missing school, to lawns, to Path of Exile. (And don't worry. We get to PoE chat lickety-split!) We have Bingo, hitting 100, reaching 40/40, Altas Passive Trees, Private Leagues...awww...look a GGG's 3.17 Archnemesis bonding friends together forever ;). Isn't it great?

You ever have it when you're really excited about something but then when you finally get around to it you hate it, but then you take a break from it and miss it, so you try it again and kinda hate it but not as much, but then everyone else you're playing with doesn't hate it as much as you did, so you hate it even more than you originally did just out of principle? Ya, me neither ;-). One of us is destroying our 3.17 Archnemesis private league while the other is still breaking the eggs. Our little, but harsh, Forever Exiled private League will finish up around the time of this episode's release, so we get in some stories about how this league is going for us. And while GGG keeps working hard on Path of Exile's 3.18 expansion, we sneak in a conversation about loot frequency. Thank you everyone for the listens! You're the best :-)

When I say "private" you say "league"! "Private" (league!) "Private" (LEAGUE!). Episode 129 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast is all about loving the harsh elements of optional league mods. And it starts with a good dose of "That's What Grinds My Gears". GGG made some great controller updates this week, we started our own harsh (for us) softcore private league for 3.17 Archnemesis, annnnnd...the mail's late. Sorry! We stayed on track for most of the episode...which is odd...one of us must have been abducted by aliens and returned as an android or something. Either way, if you're playing in our private league, we hope you die lots. If you don't die lots, you won't be invited back again ;). Thanks for listening everyone! You're fantastic.

Hazaa! It's alive! IT'S ALIVE! The power! The control! AH HA HA HA HA! This week GGG broke down a barrier and added controller support to Path of Exile on PC! It's an awesome addition to an already great 3.17 Archnemesis league. Lots of great console features have not made their way to PC as a result and it'll be exciting to see how the new controller features get fine-tuned for 3.18. We obviously talk about lots more, but you have a console lover writing episode descriptions...sooooo....Thanks for listening everyone! Hopefully, you're still enjoying the league!

Justin's been out of town, GGG is hiring from out of town, our friends from out of town are scaring the crap out of us, and we're setting up our private league for people out of town. It was another great 3.17 week and another great Path of Exile event (for people out of town). Our community (from out of town) is still going strong with Archnemesis and we can't wait to crush their souls with our private league mods (coming in two weeks). Even when we're out of town there's always something new to discuss in PoE Land. We even pushed things to next week! Thanks for being fantastic, folks. We love ya!

What a week! What a horrible league for Elden Ring to accompany :). This league is so great, we feel guilty playing other games at the same time. The 3.17.2 patch has made an already great Archnemesis league even better. Lucky you, PC players! GGG has been busy within the community too, rewarding Path of Exile fans for their artistic talents and will be giving Twitch Rivals another go this coming week. There's always something to talk about in PoE Land and this week it's terrifying bosses. Thanks for listening! We appreciate you.

This week couldn't have been any better. 3.17's Archnemesis launch was smooth for us and it stayed that way. No nasty surprises. The patch improvements GGG made this week have been very welcome additions to the already amazing core Path of Exile game. Then, Elden Ring releases the night before we record so, we get to experience another smooth launch of an equally punishing game! But don't worry, we stayed on subject ;). Elden Ring talk will be in After Dark. This episode is all PoE...well, 99%. Thanks for the listens folks! We love you! (And thanks for the shout-out this week GGG!)

And to think that the coming .1 patch will improve on that too! Screw the show notes...we didn't even look at them. We'll save the structured talk for next week :). Thanks, GGG! We're having a blast.

New bosses, old bosses, Rare "bosses", crazy bosses... everywhere are boss bosses! 3.17 Archnemesis has been out a week and we've all had a good chance to get knee-deep into the content. Whether it's Path of Exile's new atlas tree, the new bosses, the new Atlas, new currency, or the new "boss building" league, GGG has really hit a home run this league launch. Sure there's always stuff to improve, but this has been a pretty amazing experience so far. And don't take for granted the changes to the core game from previous leagues that have really enhanced this launch! We hope you enjoy our nerd session for episode 123. Thanks for all the support!

Two Passive Trees! Nerd Heaven! In Episode 122 of Forever Exiled, we talk about all aspects of the launch. Pre-launch, post-launch, mid-launch...lunch launch. There's so much new content to discover and interact with...we couldn't handle ourselves! We're excited to keep progressing and really experience the game as a whole! Thanks for the listens, folks! You make this so fun! And congrats GGG on your smoothest launch yet...and doing it with the most concurrent players you've ever had!

Even though we're going to miss saying Scourge, it's exciting to see what comes after 3.16. Path of Exile seems to be headed in a rock-solid direction and we can't wait to see how much of what they've teased for Siege of the Atlas will come to pass.

As expected, GGG is hard at work for 3.17's release and though there wasn't much posted by them, there is a ton to talk about. RhysGGG had a crazy comment that we're sure has GGG smiling ear to ear as they listen to the community's reactions. We give our thoughts, of course, along with some good discussion to our 3.17 hopes and dreams. We even squeezed in a bunch of mechanic and theory discussions...just for you ;).

We had a good time today talking about Scourge's extension, GGG's possible plans, some hopes for 3.17's new endgame, along with some Path of Exile theory-crafting rememorizing.

Well, that might be the chattiest we could have been for a non-busy GGG week! 3.16 Scourge is still going strong with its 10-day events, our Forever Exiled Private league just finished, and honestly...the theory crafting never ends for us True Path of Exile Nerds. With 2022's core support packs announced, along with some massive changes to the Map Stash Tab (for Standard players), GGG gave us plenty to discuss over drinks for the evening.

Scourge has kept us going, hasn't it? These short endless leagues have been great at the end of 3.16. We've had some fun trying out these new scenarios and are excited for the ones that follow. But as GGG gets ready for Christmas, we put on our 10-day private league. These leaguely leagues are great sources of joy for us, especially during the holiday season, as we love seeing people die and fail ;-). Just kidding...kinda. We had a great time catching up on our private league endeavors spattered with a whole bunch of good side content. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas! You are loved!!

You know that feeling you get when you watch a show that you're stoked for, but the acting takes you right out of it? And then you just start making fun of the show instead of getting into it? Ya...In episode 114, we totally don't talk about that ;). We had a great time this week playing some Endless Delve and we're excited to get going on our personal private league as well. GGG had a slower Scourge week in Path of Exile Land which is great for us cause we got talking about some of our builds, some theory crafting fails, and we still don't understand what Doomsday is even though it's 3.16...We hope you enjoy the show! Can't wait to play our PL. Happy two years Justin! Love ya!

GGG has posted quite a lot of Path of Exile news in the last couple of weeks and it brought up some great conversation pieces. 3.16's Scourge is getting interrupted by some great events coming up and we have some great ideas that should totally be implemented for 3.17 ;-). We had a great time catching up and we hope you enjoy listening! Love ya!

We have a very fun episode 112 for you! This episode was 99%...winged? We wong the episode? We totally winged it. We didn't have notes. Well, Justin tried to make some notes...but...it just made things worse...which made things better ;). The wonderful BRITTLEKNEE joined us again which is always an awesome treat for all of us. We had awesome conversations all revolving around our opinions of GGG's balance of PoE (we even agreed on some points!). Path of Exile has taken some big turns of late (including 3.16's Scourge) and it was awesome to chat with BK about it all. Thanks for all the listens and the well wishes everyone.

I LOVE Repdigits. They're simply the coolest numbers. So you know something big is up when we have to miss our first ever episode, a repdigit episode (episode 111), in which BK was going to join us. So, we thought we'd treat you to our 50th episode, where we interview the musical legend at GGG, Kamil. We LOVED this interview. It's worth a second listen to, let alone a first. Thanks for all of your kind words of encouragement and prayers as we deal with our emergencies. See you next week!
"Oh my goodness. We had so much fun with this interview. In this episode, we interview Kamil Orman-Janowski, Music Director and Composer at Grinding Gear Games. If you've ever had the tingles from a league announcement, mystery box promo, teaser trailer, boss battle, or even your favorite encampment, it's courtesy of Kamil (The Tingler). Justin and I LOVE the music in PoE and had a million questions waiting for him...luckily for us he was very polite and was kind enough to pretend to like our company. We hope you enjoy the interview as much we did. Thanks, Kamil! And thank you, everyone, for the listens."

It's episode 110! And still, with all of the 3.15 and 3.16 changes, we're still figuring out Path of Exile's new balances. It's been such a fun journey so far, getting used to the "new normal", as we brainstorm about different mechanics. In this episode, we talk lots about some of the theory-crafting we've come up with and what we've found along the way, we laugh about (and appreciate) GGG's newest patches and improvements, we disagree on flasks (again), sigh at missing information...we basically forget that people are listening to us and had a great time chatting PoE. Thanks for always tuning in. You're awesome.

It's Episode 109! Unscripted! Well, there were notes...but they were mostly ignored. We got so caught up in the conversation about Path of Exile and Scourge changes that episode 109 is going to be 110 instead. We had lots of comments and laughs about all the news and memories that GGG gave us this week. LOTS to have fun with :). We hope you all had a safe Halloween with your families (if applicable) and that this week you're able to take some time to be thankful for what we all have (no matter where we live) in remembrance of those that have sacrificed themselves for us (it's Remembrance Day here in Canada).

We did it! We're a week into GGG's 3.16 league and we played so much Scourge, that we didn't even feel guilty loading up Age of Empires 4 (a 16-year wait!) for an evening. We had so much to geek out about regarding the new core and league changes that we could hardly contain ourselves...well Justin could. He's boring. It was a very busy week in PoE Land so we were all over the map having a great time trying to stay on subject. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you like it.

Episode 107 of Forever Forever Exiled is loaded with nerding out! GGG launched 3.16's Scourge league this week and we told our responsibilities to shove off as we played all afternoon on launch day. In this week's show, we skip straight to the heart and just hit the ground running. It's non-stop PoE, from start to...almost finish. Hopefully, you are having great weeks; work weeks are always "longer" during "launch season". Good luck and thanks for listening!

Well, that was a great surprise, hey? "Oh, by the way, Patch Notes will be posted after this video..." Wazaa wazaa whaaaaa? Well, I guess that's an end to 3.15's controversial (but awesome) Expedition and the beginning of 3.16's Scourge! It was the biggest patch notes that have ever existed and we nerded out 111% with all the stuff that excites us. GGG really went insane with all the changes they are bringing this coming league and...honestly, Path of Exile is looking so good. Hopefully, you enjoy crowding "our table" as we go through the notes and hype ourselves for next week's Scourge launch! Thanks for the listens folks!

There are patch notes. There are Dev. Manifestos. There are launch teasers. But Dev. Manifestos for the Dev. Manifestos? This is the best. It just keeps getting better and better! GGG has graced fans with more massive changes to the core of Path of Exile. There's so much to discuss in the 3-part reveal of the direction 3.16 Scourge is taking us. In Episode 105 of Forever Exiled, we discuss all the news we like and dislike, along with some thoughts on the long-term value of some of these changes. And don't forget new players! These types of reveal weeks are like Christmas to the two of us. So hopefully you enjoy us two PoE nerds, nerding out during 3.15's Expedition, about 3.16's Scourge. Love ya!

It's that time of year, folks! Well, I guess it's that time of quarter...you know...it's the Next League teaser time already! Alright! This week, in Episode 104, we discuss the teaser that GGG released for 3.16's Scourge, along with our final adventures in our Forever Exile Private league. We're hardcore players, but...only in heart...not in game mode. Our PL embraced the 3.15 Expedition changes and...well...one of us excelled. The other died plenty to the cackles of GGG and their Act 1 changes. Both of us had a blast. Thanks for all of the listens folks! You're wonderful :).

In Path of Exile Land, there are always goodies to discuss. GGG had a slow announcement week, so it gave us time to delve into some fun moments we had this week with our 3.15 private league. We're not very good at hardcore modes, but it's fun to suck at something and laugh about it. We also hit some milestones and got destroyed in our marvelous Expedition adventures. But in true Forever Exiled fashion, we also made sure to talk about our lawns, dinner dates, and the great outdoors...(I might be allergic to it all now...). Thanks, everyone for your listens and we hope your week goes well. Also, thank you so much for reaching out to us after the last episode. You're all wonderful :).

Episode 102 of Forever Exiled! Huzzah! We had a great time discussing 3.15's core changes that came to Path of Exile now that GGG has had time to settle down post-interviews. It's always nice to be able to take a look at something after a good break; less emotion, more objectivity. We were all over the map in classic style this week. We talk about everything from lawns, sharks (PoE sharks), pets (PoE pets), great players dying (in-game)...good talks...good talks. Thanks for the listens, everyone! You rock.

It's been a while since we recorded (in real life) so it was awesome to catch up with Brittleknee for episode 101. 3.15 has been wonderfully controversial and Expedition as a league has been great. This week we discuss our new mid-league builds along with some (only a few) massive topics that stemmed from the 3 big GGG interviews that we've had in Path of Exile Land along with Baeclast's Preach episode. It's always awesome to have BK on the show! Thanks for joining us again! And thank you everyone for the listens! You're all fantastic.

EPISODE 100!!! To celebrate our 100th Episode, we wanted to do something special for both ourselves and our listeners. So for us, that was getting our first ever interviewee back on the show to catch up and talk about everything and anything. Tarke Cat was our first ever interview in Episode 13, so 87 episodes later, we were wonderfully pleased to be able to have him back! So much has happened since we last had him on the show, both in PoE and the real world. We wished we could have gone on for much longer (so enjoy After Dark Patreons!) but we squeezed in as much of everything about GGG, Path of Exile, and life as we could. Thanks, Tarke for making Episode 100 so great! And last but not least, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our listeners! You've made this hobby of ours such a fun experience! It's so neat for us to think that we're a positive part of your weekly lives. Thank you so much for your support and here's to another 100 (or thousand)! Cheers, eh?
Also, though we're an audio-only podcast, we thought E100 would be a fun time to do a video version of the show. So, for this ONE and ONLY time, you can see us chatting "live" here: https://youtu.be/2jxjnW5MQv4

Yes! Episode 99, The Wayne Gretzky episode! What a great number :). We did this episode in person and as a result, the conversation went off the rails nice and quick :). Lots of talk about the different builds we've played this league and how we've gone about adapting to the 3.15 changes GGG brought in Expedition. We loved the 3.15.3 patch too! Surprisingly, this week was 99% Path of Exile but it was awesome to actually talk face to face again. Hopefully, you enjoy this week's episode as much as we did making it! Happy PoE announcement anniversary GGG!

There's nothing like an interview with someone who's always smiling :). Chris was interviewed by Zizaran and Mathil this past week and it was awesome. There were some great questions and answers, which obviously gives Episode 98 lots of content to discuss. (It was so great to see Chris in such a great mood and love the questions.) But we also had some great laughs about Dumb and Dumber, future content, MTX, vacations, sweet QoL patches...time just flew by for us. We hope you enjoy Episode 98 as much as we had making it. Also, happy 4th anniversary Xbox PoE!

This week in Path of Exile Land was a pretty unique one. GGG felt that some fires needed to be doused within the community regarding 3.15 and the overall state of the game. So Chris went on Baeclast to talk ALL things Path of Exile. It gave us some really juicy spoilers for future content but also brought up some issues that are way more important than Path of Exile itself. In this 97th episode of Forever Exiled, we talk about the bigger picture of the interview. We'd like to personally congratulate GGG and Chris for going on Baeclast and being so honest and vulnerable! And thank you Baeclast team for braving such tough questions and comments in your discussions. And thanks to all of our listeners. We hope you enjoy this week's episode.

We got it! Expedition got the 3.15.1 patch. The non-letter patches are always a doozy. 15.1 wasn't as big as the mana cost change patch but GGG gave us some controversial changes (for some people) with tons of QOL improvements. It was a great week of news to discuss with so much content getting pushed that next week's episode will be just as jam-packed. This week also touched on New Players playing blindly, mid-league/post-launch changes, Expedition opinions, Otters in hot tubs, and obviously tons more. No Path of Exile conversation stays on subject. Come on now. Thanks for listening everyone! And Patreons, your cards are in the mail :).

Welp! It happened. We had some reversals. This week was a crazy week in Path of Exile Land! Massive amounts of patches (that's a good thing at the end of the day) and even a cool community event in the form of Twitch Rivals via Royale! But the big news of the week was GGG lowering the mana cost of supports and extending the duration of flask ailment immunities. We've been quite high on Expedition so far but 3.15 has changed so much we may have to restart ;). We're looking forward to things calming down in-game so we can get a feel for this "new PoE". So feel free to sit back and listen to us go through the ups and downs of these changes. Thanks for swinging by! We hope you enjoy Episode 95!

BRING. IT. ON. Act 1. Who doesn't want a challenging PoE experience!? Come on! What a great start to a new league. In Episode 94 of Forever Exiled, we talk about all the neat changes we noticed in Act 1 and how it compares to the "good old days" along with our personal experiences and opinions for Expedition itself. We felt it important to bring up Chris' "2nd Dev. Manifesto" about GGG's abilities to change and plan for their own game along with the awesome interview that Asmongold had with Chris the day before launch. Path of Exile is changing lots and we're happy to be there for the ride. This was a hard episode to wrap up as there was soooo much stuff we could have included...but alas, we must wait a week for that. Thanks for the listens folks! Love ya!

Listen, I'm not sure what you want me to say here. It's a patch notes episode, m'kay? We talk about patchy things...and the CRAZIEST META SHAKEUP EVER! Probably. There is SO much to talk about with the 3.15 Development Manifesto and Expedition Patch Notes. GGG is making sure Path of Exile is going in the right direction and this step is not a baby step. Mana changes, trigger skills, active skill increases, support decreases, tree investments vs. gem investments, quality of life UI updates, changes to crit. and poison...and obviously tons more. Hopefully, you enjoy the episode as much as we did. Thanks for the listens, everyone! Goodbyyyyyeeeee Ultimatum!

OH! MY! GOODNESS! What a massive reveal! GGG isn't scared to make big changes to bring Path of Exile to the state that they are aiming for, and they're showing it here with their 3.15 reveal! Flasks, trigger skills, enemies, support values, new base types, new defense type (Ward), 19 new skill gems, and more, all getting a major overhaul...of course, all on top of the Expedition league release. Royale was even added to Ultimatum/3.14 in the meantime! We tried to keep the episode short, but come on...there's just too much to discuss! And don't forget all the nuggets of info that Ziggy and Chris discussed in the post-reveal. Goodness. Sit back and relax cause the game is changing...we better change with it. Thanks for the listens everyone! We love your faces.

Fan Art, Patches (coolest patch ever!), and $500 statues...that's GGG's news this week...but WHO CARES if it's the end of 3.14's Ultimatum, there's an infinite amount of Path of Exile to discuss! Brittleknee joined us this week, which is just awesome, every time, and we talked about our wild "aluminum foil hat" guesses to what could/should get modified/added for 3.15, we laugh at people that don't know what a teaser is (again), Bubble Numbers (translated by Tagz and BK), and lots of awesome side-tracked PoE conversations (which always end up the best subjects). Also, if you know anything about the rat/bird (behind the Templar on the login screen), let us know, please. We must know! Thanks BK for joining us and thanks to everyone for the listens!

We got our first tease of 3.15! No title as of yet but some sweet music, skills, and glorious NPCs! Seriously, if you don't like GGG's NPC's, you're insane. Ultimatum's Trial-Master is amazing. Well, the NPC that is...we've never seen the fight. But this week in PoE gave us good conversation pieces about past and present content, along with some amazing Steam Summer Sale deals ;). Thanks everyone for all your support. We really appreciate your kind words and messages this week.

Ya! It's Episode 89 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast! GGG had a slow announcement week as it nears the end of 3.14's Ultimatum, so in this episode we just let it flow... the school year is ending, a new league is coming, there are filters to test, Canada Day is around the corner (we pretend the world cares)...we even squeeze in which league mechanics we could do without and which skills may get cut down. It's a non-stop episode of Tagz and Wrecker just chatting PoE...while we pretend we're out for dinner together. Thanks everyone for your listens each week. We love your faces!

Episode 88! The Eric Lindros episode. We had SUCH a fun week this week! Our Forever Exiled Ultimatum private league was surprisingly way more fun than we expected this past week and a half. Normally, we like to make the mods of the league annoying for players so we can mock them...but this "No Stash and No Magic or Rare drops" league was so fun. GGG had a slow week when it came to Path of Exile announcements so we took the opportunity to discuss our 3.14 private league experience. It brought up some interesting subjects, as all PoE conversations do, so hopefully, you enjoyed this weeks' episode as much as we did! Thanks for listening everyone!

Episode 87 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast was tons of fun to make! Our 3.14 Ultimatum private league started (with stupid mods (that we're surprisingly loving)), we discovered that GGG mentioned a while back that controller support may be a thing for PoE 2, Elden Ring now has a release date (and we had fun arguing about it from a PoE perspective), and please GGG...fix your in-game filter situation, m'kay? K. As always, thanks for listening everyone! You're the best :).

With a slow week from GGG in Path of Exile Land, we were happy to talk about a few things we've been itching to talk about for a while. Luckily GGG posted their Atlas Passive stats for 3.14's Ultimatum to coincide with our wishes :). It's fun to see what content other players prefer, especially players that play outside of their comfort zone. We even dabbled with the conversation of how daunting PoE is these days for a new player. Oh! Lots of private leagues and events going on this week as well (including our own)! Thanks to all the community members that go through all the effort for their events and content. We wish you the best of success! Thanks for listening everyone!

Another great week of GGG providing us with all the Path of Exile content we need! Our backlog of subjects is pilling sky high! It never ends!...unlike Ultimatums. In Episode 85 we talked about 3.14's stats that were released this week and compared ourselves to them :-|. There was a Part 2 of GGG's Q&A as well which brought up some great discussions...like foils, linking, map equity, ranges/units of items and skills...and RNG boss encounters! :-). We even got a little theory-crafting in. As always, thanks for listening. You're all the best.

It's been a couple of weeks since we got to catch up in PoE Land and wow, was there a lot to cover! GGG has been busy! Path of Exile now has the quality of life MTX, a Cache management system, the game uses your VIDEO CARD now...!!! Not to mention there were some nice surprises like road safety awareness :wink: and live messages! We were even able to squeeze in some of the pros and cons of 3.14 Ultimatum being a "fix it" league. Episode 84 of Forever Exiled was non-stop for us and we hope you like it! Thanks for listening!

This week we were excited to be joined by ShakCentral! If you've ever looked into any Vortex or Occultist builds, you've heard of him. His Vortex guide is everywhere in PoE Land and is played by thousands in each league. It's a staple/go-to for being an amazing beginner-friendly CI guide while crushing endgame at the same time. Shak's build, his dedication to it, along with his passion for PoE and helping new players stick with the game, is second to no one. It was great to discuss it with him on a personal level, along with hearing his perspective of 3.14's Ultimatum and the current state of Path of Exile, all while making wonderful fun of each.

You know, even with Ultimatum dying down early, there's always stuff to talk about. Episode 82 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile Podcast was "go time" straight from the get-go. GGG had an efficient Reddit week touching on some issues the community is concerned with like bans and 3.14's boss spawning frequency, but there are also some great things happening like the league being quite balanced (lots of great builds out there) along with some good honest posts from the community that takes things beyond the realm of gaming. We hope you enjoy this week's episode and we'll see you next week!

We were excited to have Brittleknee on our show again in Episode 81 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile Podcast. We covered a busy week in PoE as GGG released two important patches that covered a lot of ground within the game. We touched a little more on the grey line of banning along with all the different subjects that revolve around retention. 3.14 Ultimatum seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" league in the community and we didn't shy down from our opinions on the subject. Hopefully, you like the episode, and let us know what you think! Thanks BK for joining us! It's always a pleasure to talk lawn culture with you.

Wow! Talk about drama and politics hey? GGG had the rough server launch for PoE and some public bans for Ultimatum...all alongside the normal launch schedule they have. There was also so much to discuss with all of the new core changes made to Path of Exile coupled with the experience of Ultimatum. We could have talked for ages...That will have to carry over into the next episode. For now, it's Episode 80! Enjoy!

Well...kinda. Both of us, like many of you, had a difficult time staying connected to the Path of Exile's 3.14 expansion. BUT there was still so much to talk about that we still had a great time hating each other and wishing the worst for each other's futures. But seriously, there was horrible online fallout against GGG for a false story, lovely lawns, some interesting Reddit posts by GGG staff, more lawn talk, new mechanic discoveries, disconnects, lawn stuff...we had plenty going on...not to mention being schooled by an 11-year-old. We're really excited for Ultimatum's co-op possibilities so hopefully, GGG has a fix before this episode is released! Thanks for the listens and happy gaming!

Gotta love Patch Notes day! It's like Christmas for us here at Forever Exiled (a Path of Exile podcast) :-). GGG released their 3.14 Ultimatum patch notes today; so like the nerds we are, we giggle (and complain like know-it-alls) through the parts of the notes that interest us (and hopefully you as well)...just like we would at a coffee shop "sans covid"! The amount of changes to the core game is staggering and it will be great to see it in action this Friday. Honestly, though, it's all icing on the cake compared to removing "ALLIES CAN'T DIE". Hazaa! Hopefully, you like the episode. See you Sunday!

YES! It's Nerd Heaven! LEAGUE REVEAL WEEK! Hazaa! We're one week away from 3.14 Ultimatum! Goodness...we could have talked forever! Tons of 3.14 AND Path of Exile 2 details were announced this week by GGG and the amount of content they covered is insane. So many aspects in the game to talk about. We (well, I...) wish we could have had a 5-hour episode. Path of Exile - a Path of Exile podcast, at your league-league-hype service.

The glorious thing for fans of PoE is that there's ALWAYS something to talk about. In Episode 76 of Forever Exiled (a Path of Exile Podcast) we talk about the lack of 3.13 Ritual patches for the past month, our Private League winners, company investments, GGG's future engine patch, some PoE 2 banter, what'll happen to Atlas Passives each league, and lots of sidetracking :).

In Episode 75 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile Podcast, Tagz and Wrecker talk about GGG's 3.14 and Path of Exile 2 teaser, Tormented Spirits, Dogs and Trains ;-)...along with a lot of unexpected filler. We also played Last Epoch this week as well and took some time to compare some of the QoL features between itself and PoE. Shift+F? Get outta town! It was nice to get a feel for another game that obviously got it roots from PoE. Thanks for the listens. You rock

Well, thanks Justin for a wonderful Episode 74 of Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast. If you're new to the show you'll just love the updates we have for you. :wink: In this weeks' episode we talk about GGG's reputation outside of PoE Land, PoE 2's tease of slowing the game down, and Vaal Temple pretending to be Dynamic Resolution. We also started a short Solo Self Found Hardcore league in 3.13's Ritual. So there's nothing like talking about the fresh start of a fresh league. Thanks everyone! We love your faces!

So, in Episode 73 (not 38) of Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast, we don't talk about 3.13 or Ritual...at all. We talk about Harvest. Yup.

We talked about Ritual, 3.13's performance (it'll be the last time I bring it up, I swear!), theory crafting dilemmas, some GGG praise from PC Gamer, and SO MUCH MORE (like a D2 convo)!

Ha! Would you look at that? This week in Path of Exile Land was so busy that our "short" Episode was a normal length. In Episode 69 of Forever Exiled, we fly through talking about 3.14 news, some insane fixes made in 3.13.1.c, what Weta's really sound like, and a ton of unscripted content that took us WAY longer than we thought ;-). Ritual, Maven, 3.13, 3.14, GGG, Ubisoft...no matter the talk, we love the game. Thanks for listening everyone! You all rock. (Zombie on.)

Welp! The tables have turned. In Episode 68 of Forever Exiled, Tyler's the Negative Nancy while Justin's the positive one. We had very different Path of Exile weeks, Tagz and Wrecker, while at the same time GGG had another busy announcement and release week; lots of fixes, MTX releases, and fan art. There were so many new game-play experiences to talk about that, as usual, we had to push lots of hopeful subjects to another episode. Ritual's and Maven's new mechanics are really cool! Hopefully, we'll both being "playing" 3.13 together soon. Thanks for the listens, everyone!

What a busy week in PoE Land! Some great updates from GGG (both for today and tomorrow), some stability and visual improvements, console play is better than ever (which is all people care about)...Path of Exile gave us lots to talk about this week. There's some Ritual hate (and love) and some Maven love (and hate). And, we can't wait for 3.14! We couldn't stop talking, as usual, so hopefully next week we'll stay on topic so Justin doesn't push all my notes to the next episode. Episode 67 hit some records for us and we want to give all of our listeners a big THANK YOU. So, THANK YOU.

3.13's Ritual has been awesome for many and unstable for many. For us at Forever Exiled, we've both had very stable experiences and very different leveling paths. So, as a result, we have TONS to say about the first week of Path of Exile's newest expansion. It's weeks like this that make having a Podcast SO exciting. We talk everything from the new Maven experiences, Sirus Invasions, Atlas trees, CONSOLE RELEASE, GGG's posts, and lots of other really neat things that will most definitely interest you...obviously. Thanks for the listens, everyone. You make this so much fun for us.

So, if you look at the title, any guesses as to what the core conversation of this episode is? You'll never guess. Never. We talk Cyberpunk, totally not 3.13. We talk about John Wick, obviously not Ritual. Do you like talking about the movie Frozen? Well, obviously we talk about that instead of Maven and her orbs.
Honestly, we had so much to say about the release of the new Path of Exile "tribute" league that it was really hard to stop recording. The only reason we stopped was so that we could get back to playing (PoE, not Cyberpunk). Thanks for all the listens folks. We love your faces.

We talk about the patch notes. We talk about changes. We talk about good changes. We talk about surprising changes. We talk about sad changes. We talk about the future of these changes. Change. Nerfs? Buffs? Balances? You know what? Let's just shut up and play the game, m'kay? BOSSES!

Well...I mean...what do you say? The reveal for Echoes of the Atlas was so amazing that it's on par with Path of Exile 2's hype. And Ritual! If it wasn't for the core expansion Ritual would be talked about non-stop as well! In Episode 63 of our Forever Exiled podcast, we talk about all things revealed this week along with the arrival of Harvest and Heist into the core game. New watchstones, crafting, no timed events, ascendancies, currency, skills, maps, bosses (oh the BOSSES!)...this episode could have been eternal...and it was 99% PoE too! There's too much to talk about and all of it we love. We can't wait to play! Hopefully, you enjoy the episode, and thanks for the listens! See you at the league launch! (Pardon Chris? Sirus might be leaving?)

We did it, everyone! We made it! 3.13's announcement is next week so 3.12 is now coming to an end! With 3.13's reveal coming up this week there was SO much to get through in this episode. 3.12 was awesome, extended, and loaded with extra goodies. This week there was some edifying posts made by GGG that were a great read, 3.13's announcement of the announcement, a 2020 year in review (GGG averaged a patch every four days!), we talk about our favourite parts of the year and our hopes for 3.13 and beyond, ANNNNND we had 4 friends of ours all try PoE for the first time ever (and on the same day)! Even joining us for After Dark. What a great way to finish off the year. Thanks, GGG for an awesome year, and thanks to everyone for the listens. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What is time? We answer that for ya. What's the difference between a cloud and a storm? We got you covered. We were honoured to have Brittleknee and Octavian as surprise guests for our wonderful Christmas Episode (#61) of Forever Exiled (a Path of Exile podcast). We talked tons about PoE's Fill-In leagues, personal Christmas preferences for PoE gameplay, GGG's 3.13 teasers, Pirates (some from Space, some not), Oct. and B.K. hate rainbows apparently, fat fingers (PoE Mobile)...gosh, the list goes on. If you don't like this episode it's 'cause you're a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins. Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Boxing

Ohhhhh boy! Endless Delve ended, Flashback started, GGG throwing out cryptic poems, core packs, and video teasers...there's so much to discuss! So many theories and guesses! With 3.13 less than a month away and Christmas just around the corner, there's no better time to wonder and dream...about PoE lore and future content :). Merry Christmas everyone! We love you all, thanks for the listens, and happy holiday gaming!

Hi everyone! This was a pretty unique week in Path of Exile Land as this was the week we'd be playing 3.13 if it wasn't for Cyberpunk. So in Episode 59, we talk about the difference of story narrative of open-world RPGs to PoE, Mayhem's week and the beginning of the highly anticipated Endless Delve, socially inappropriate holiday urges thanks to Hitman and our lovely anniversary. Can you believe it? Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile Podcast is one year old! Cute! (Justin didn't even get me anything. Rude.) Good luck in Endless Delve and thanks for listening!

Mayhem! So rad! 10 Breaches on the Coast! Yes Please! Also, more exclamation marks! :wink: We had a lot of fun this week talking about the details that normally get skipped over at the beginning of a league, like leveling, gems, guilds, LF, portals, Pantheons, sheesh...it was tons of fun to make. Mostly because the whole episode Tagz just said, "uh huh" the whole time. Lazy. Doesn't do anything that guy. So weak...and old...really old.
Congrats to all our private league players and winners! You're all winners in our hearts...but only some of you got rewarded for it ;). Thanks for listening!

What a great Path of Exile week! We finished up our Forever Exiled SSF HC private league (which we hope you loved), GGG came out with some big news for December, Justin has a ginormous jug of water, and tons of other content everyday PoE content...I seriously can't believe the size of that container...and Harvest news is coming soon! 3.13 is around the corner with lots of content to play before then! Hazaa! Oh right, and Santa...make sure your kids aren't listening.

Ya! Hardcore Private Leagues are so fun when you suck at HC. In Episode 56 we talk about the start of the Forever Exiled private league, our awesome progress within it, Demon Souls (cause why wouldn't we), Justin's bold PoE 2 prediction, and the glory of Standard. If you're playing our private league, we hope you die lots (it makes us smile). If you're not playing our private league, we hope you enjoy the episode...unfortunately you'll learn that Justin did not, in fact, die by falling off of his rented bucket crane. You all rock!

What a fun episode! We caught up on the last two weeks of PoE news and updates which gave us SO much to discuss. GGG released tab affinities and folders which we've since had a chance to play around with a lot, loads of new and unique MTX were released, the new next-gen consoles came out which sparked lots of conversation about Cyberpunk, release dates, private leagues, and game quality...it was another episode where we had to push lots of content to next week's episode cause we couldn't stop talking :). WE love portmanteaus, I wish we remembered to add more to the show. Also, I remember what the Repdigit was all about. It's Episode 55...repdigit...I mean, come on...

This week we were honoured to interview ItsYoji! If you've ever, in the history of Path of Exile, looked anything up on YouTube regarding PoE, you've likely seen his content. He's been in the community since the beginning of time with videos ranging from build guides, gameplay hints and tips, community showcases...everything. His wonderful attitude and hilarious humour is a staple in everything he does. We hope you enjoy getting to know your favourite ItsYoji a little bit more. We sure did! Thanks for the listens!

Well, that was a busy week, hey? GGG announced the delay of 3.13 (due to Cyberpunk), they had a second post that explained thoroughly why they were delaying 3.13 past Christmas, they released the funniest MTX of all time, along with some amazing portals...let's just say, the more Reddit whines, the more we have to talk about (and stupid Justin pushes more of my amazing subjects to another episode). Stash Tab affinity, filter talk, patch conspiracies, lawn vacuums...we nailed it. What a great 53rd episode. We love you!

In Episode 52, something horrible happened...Justin and I agreed on Heist related things :(. It was really awkward...;). GGG gave us lots to talk about this week! We obviously talked about Chris' post to the community this week, but we also talk about the crazy marketplace, how awesome SSF must be this league, theories on Harvest and Heist going core, and how the current version of Fortify Support is actually from another dimension. No matter the subjects we talk about, we love Path of Exile; we always will (obviously, we have a podcast about it). We're always excited about the future of the game and we can't wait to see where it goes from here! We hope you enjoy the arguments and how wrong Justin always is. Thanks for the listens! We love you.

Well goodness gracious, are you in for a treat! We have a couple of weeks worth of content to cram into this episode, and what a couple of weeks it was! There were so many modifications and fixes to Heist that it was impossible to touch on all of them. We got heated about a few things, agreed on a few others (whaaaaat?!), and hated each other (as usual) for the rest of it ;). 3.12 hasn't disappointed in terms of a subject piece and we're excited to see what it's like once everything is ironed out. AND for you racing fans out there, Brittleknee was kind enough to give us more of her time to talk about some upcoming racing events and racing in general.

Oh my goodness. We had so much fun with this interview. In this episode, we interview Kamil Orman-Janowski, Music Director and Composer at Grinding Gear Games. If you've ever had the tingles from a league announcement, mystery box promo, teaser trailer, boss battle, or even your favorite encampment, it's courtesy of Kamil (The Tingler). Justin and I LOVE the music in PoE and had a million questions waiting for him...luckily for us he was very polite and was kind enough to pretend to like our company. We hope you enjoy the interview as much we did. Thanks Kamil! And thank you everyone for the listens.

Dang! Episode 49! Talk about division! The changes to 3.12 and the bugs being fixed were another big topic of discussion between us. So many in-game changes create tons of opinions for us and others. Also, did you know, for Animate Weapon, you don't have to actually click on a Normal Melee Weapon to animate that minion? It's a generous AoE you can click around...who knew. Not this guy, that's for sure. While we're on the subject, anyone else loving the new Blight? Good talk.

Episode 48! Talk about a week of subjectivity! How was your league launch? Mine was good, yours was bad. How do you like Heist's changes? I liked them, you did not. It's one of those weeks where GGG made tons of changes based on community feedback and we just got to sit back and watch it all. We could have talked for hours! We didn't...but we wanted to. Thanks for listening!

Episode 47 is all about the newly released 3.12 expansion Heist! We delve into subjects like the Rogue Town Thingy, Heist currency, difficulty, co-op-ability, how irritating Justin is by theory crafting on the fly, stupid celestial, annnnnd FILTERS! We hope you enjoy hearing our opinions and experiences of our first day of Heist!

You'll never guess what episode 46 is all about...you'll never guess. So there's this guy, right? He falls in love with this girl. Then they...TALK ABOUT 3.12's PATCH NOTES!!! Perfect.

We can't wait to try them!)

So many teasers came out this week for 3.12 that it's almost impossible to play Harvest now! With Patch Notes and the 3.12 Passive tree getting released this coming week we brainstorm about all the coming changes to playstyles. The Curse Revamp got us talking tons!

Oh my! What a sexy reveal by GGG! In episode 44 we converse about tons of content that 3.12 is adding to PoE. There are so many awesome cow changes (I meant to type "core"), community testing potential, the obvious league itself...So many things to discuss that we forgot half of what we wanted to say and we still talked non-stop!

Ya! Core talk! Episode 42 features a drugged up Tagz, powering through the pain, committing to another great week of PoE talk. We talk about some matters about the core of Reddit, the core of PoE gameplay, the core of moving to 3.12, and the core of wicked awesome guide themes.

Episode 41 is amazing! We had a blast interviewing Brittleknee! You likely know her from one of many different neighborhoods of PoE. Some know her as a race shoutcaster, while others as a race events coordinator. Some may know her has a great guide writer and have her to thank for all your PoE knowledge, while many will know her as a prominent broadcaster. No matter how you know her, her kindness and vast knowledge of the game shines through everything she does. We hope you enjoy the interview as much as we enjoyed interviewing!

Daaaaang! It's episode 40 already! That's basically 100. This episode features talk about Trump not touching video games, our end of league private league, what item weight means to us, PoE MOBILE (barely...but I had to put it in there :)), and lots of other gems...well, not skill gems, just gem gems.

Nothing like a good vacation to clear your mind and rejuvenate your PoE addiction. Welcome back Tagz! In this episode (after we finish catching up) we talk lots about Evasion vs. Armour, the East and West sides of the tree, league mechanics we'd phase-out of the game, vendor recipes, some skills that need some love...and a few other gems at the end (like the path to the Shaper). We hope you enjoy episode 39! If you don't like it, don't let us know!

We just freaking love it when GGG gets interviewed. There's just so much to dissect even when they have lots to hold back. But when they give us all a full two hours of very open and candid answers about questions the community has been dying to ask them for years...let's just say, we did our best to keep it short. We cut lots of content but we'll talk about it over time. So not only do we talk about Baeclast's interview with Chris Wilson, but we also had the opportunity to bring up some long overdue topics that we (Tyler) have been dying to bring up...which are obviously WAY more interesting than any other topics we talk about ;).

If there's one thing you can talk about every league, it's if a league should/can go core. And let me tell you, in Episode 37 we get that done...well :). In this episode, we also talk about missing information in gems, FILTERS (barely), the Sirus battle, the value of a "2-computer" home, and obviously lots of our usual unscripted talk.

In Episode 35 we discuss a wide variety of topics ranging anywhere from mental health to Justin's stupid lawn (mine's better), the beautiful sound of Awakened Support Gems dropping, CwDT linked with Portal, those stupid doors, and obviously lots more.

Well? We did it! 3.11 is out, and we all started playing our builds! It's time to put the last three weeks of theory crafting to the test. In this week's episode we talk about some of the core mechanic changes that we enjoy, our league progress so far, "multi" player, the awesome tree reshuffling...and so much more. I think Tagz misses Alva...cause he found an Alva replacement...

The new 3.11 league is just one week away! So as we totally get excited and not stressed at all about anything related to league launch, we discuss many of the new teasers that GGG released this past week, what builds we'll be starting the league with, how much Justin hates how I talk with my hands, and our hopes and dreams (Path of Exile related of course). IT'S SO NICE NOT BEING STRESSED ABOUT ANYTHING! THIS IS GREAT!

So you just tolerate everything about that person over and over, day after day...and then one day you snap but it doesn't impact them at all because they are just that much of a total prick...so then you hate them even more? Well, if Justin bumps one more of my subjects over to "the next" episode, I'll find out what the next stage of that relationship is. (Oh right. We talked about PoE bosses without "adds", changing corrupted items (I swear that's a new addition...), the surprisingly busy week in Path of Exile Land, the new Vulkan update, the love, and stress of Theory Crafting, drop rates...I swear we try and keep this thing under 50 minutes...)

In Episode 28 we had the privilege of interviewing Octavian0! Most of you know him as a full time PoE broadcaster, YouTube build master, and/or a race shout caster! We know him as one of the most epic grillers of all time (that's sweet BBQ talk...no big deal). We had a great time learning about his personal PoE preferences along with how life is for him outside of broadcasting. Thanks again Octavian0! (That's a zero at the end there. It's not an O. And that letter at the end of the last sentence isn't a zero, it's an O...like that one. And you don't pronounce the zero in Octavian0, m'kay?)

What a great week! GGG posted lots of community posts, we made a new podcast logo, our Epic Private League of Awesome People ended (which means we're only one month away from 3.11!)...and we learned about a new (and the most important) stat! FUN PER HOUR! As usual, our 45-minute podcast wasn't 45 minutes, so we obviously talked about lots of other things too. High five for Racecourse! Oh! Imagine Racecourse with endless Beyond! I'm salivating...
Twitter @ForeverExiled82
In Episode 26 we talked lots about upcoming leagues and PoE 2. It's exciting to think that we're only a couple (or a few) leagues away from PoE 2's release! Sounds like some predictions must be made! We also had a good time deciding if we'd like PoE today, playing for the first time, not knowing anything about the game. There's lots of good talk and an amazing Newbie Tip of the Week ;). Thanks for listening!
Twitter @ForeverExiled82
In Episode 25 we nailed a few good subjects...like what does 1.1 mean, pets, and Red Dead 2...;-). We barely squeezed in talk about GGG's default filter, league goals, if 3rd party apps are required to play PoE...or wait...maybe we talked lots about the latter and barely about the former. It all blends together when all you can think about is playing more PoE. DIE SIRUS!
Twitter @ForeverExiled82
In Episode 24 we (well, Tyler...not we) complained lots but didn't really mean to. He just had one frustrating PoE session during the week (out of many good ones)...he'll be ok...right? RIGHT!?!? We covered a lot of ground in this episode, but we were really excited to talk about how awesome the music of PoE is (and will be) and got re-hyped for PoE 2! But honestly, who ever loses their hype for PoE 2...or PoE Mobile...no.bah.dee. Mo.Bill.

Episode 23 is our Michael Jordan Special...where we talk all about PoE...and no MJ. Though I'm listening to Michael Jackson as I type this. He was a sweet MJ too. I wonder if either of them play(ed) PoE. I wonder if Shock chance/damage confuses(d) them. Do you think that the #23 MJ saw the video with the GGG founders from ExileCon? I wonder how they pronounce(d) Chieftain. They probably play(ed) PoE on console if they did play...I bet they own(ed) a really good pair of shoes though.

Well episode 21 is in the bag and let's just say, that...it was a busy week in PoE Land. We talked about the Purposeful Harbinger fix, the tons of Quality of Life additions to all platforms of the game, and even some neat things we've discovered on the way! Also, Justin didn't even push any of my subjects over to the next episode! What a guy.

Well dang, 3.10 is getting big patch after big patch and PoE just keeps getting better and better. Episode 20 covers a lot of ground regarding the difficulty and reward of Delirium, some neat info about vendor recipes, Justin's love of Alva, and lots of wonderful sidetracking. Thank you everyone for your support and feedback! We had a lot of fun making this Episode and we hope you enjoy it! Remember to thank GGG for working from home to keep PoE going for us while Covid-19 changes everyone's lives.

We can't thank GGG enough for their great communication and awesome game. We hope everyone at GGG and around the world are healthy...and maybe even comfortable with their Covid-19 isolation. Episode 19 of Forever Exiled covers a lot of ground! But most importantly, be sure to remember that these may be tough times for the people you're interacting with in the game. Be kind and patient if you can. Someone will be more thankful than you realize.
Thanks for the listens! You're all amazing!

I can't even...it's just...my goodness...let's just say that in Episode 18 we learned that Justin is never again going to organize our live show notes. I mean, Delirium was released, we can now influence drop percentage for our favourite map drops, Master Missions will be able to be accessed from the map portal soon, and honestly so much more! There were so many great things that happened since launch and Justin just had to screw it all up. Thanks Justin...thanks a lot. Let's just say we're fighting now, M'Kay?

Sneak Attack! Surprise! A mid-week episode! Episode 17 is the 3.10 Patch Notes episode! We go through the highlights of the Patch Notes and of course, like any good podcast, get side tracked (though not that bad this time) and make fun of each other. There are a ton of QoL improvements so be sure to check out the patch notes for yourself as well. We also created a Forever Exiled private PoE league. Please feel free to join! But you'll need to listen for the details...sucker. We hope you enjoy the episode and the newly balanced 3.10! See you at league launch!
Twitter @ForeverExiled82
3.9 is coming to a close! What an amazing league Metamorph was! As we look forward to 3.10, Episode 16 covers as much content as we could before our brains exploded (which means until Justin cut us off). We discussed everything from getting stunned with Chaos Inoculation, the different ways we level and vendor during a league start, what valuable loot is (good luck), PoE swag, new skills, favourite ascendancies (well, one of us)...and...well lists suck. There are lots more; it's a big episode. But save your list reading patience for the patch notes coming out in a few days! Just listen instead and thanks for all your support! You're the best!

Welp! It was a rough week for us. We didn't look at ANY 3.10 announcements so we could discover 3.10 live! Crazy! Sooooo, in Episode 15 we have nothing but amazing things to say about GGG. Both 3.9 and 3.10 were/seem perfect! And that Passive Tree...that's just...Impossibly perfect. It's like something really sexy, that couldn't get any sexier, just got sexier...and you'd rather die than look away at that sexier thing that just got sexier because..well, there's no because.

In Episode 14 we talk about...you'll never guess...we've never discussed it before...FILTERS! But don't worry, it's wasn't for too long. (A good patch with Filter improvements came out, that's all.) We also compare games like the new Wolcen to PoE, we hate on Reddit pricks, Justin brings up gross cesspools a lot (something's on his mind...), we get excited for 3.10's release next week, and we get wonderfully distracted about other PoE stuff too. It was lots of fun to record so hopefully you enjoy the listen and get all the movie references.

Full Transcript of Episode:
Justin: Welcome to forever Exiled. The Path of Exile podcast. This is technically Episode six, but it's going to be our bonus. New Year's Eve and Day episode. I am one of your host, Justin a k a. Tagz
Tyler: and I'm Tyler Wrecker of Days.
Justin: Make sure you check out the rest of this episode right up until the end because we may have a sexy giveaway coming up anyway. Ty, how are you doing? Well, how are you? Good. So this is gonna be our our extra bonus for fun. Super awesome. Episode six I agree. So, uh, path of exile G just released today their best of 2019 video, which was awesome. If you haven't checked it out, make sure you watch it. Maybe we'll put a link in the show notes just so you can find it. I think they're coming up with some more information on there. Accomplishments and bragging tomorrow, which is New Year's Eve will be tomorrow. So hopefully will be out there and live with everybody at the same time. So, yeah, let's let's ah, let's jump into it. So we figured it'd be kind of fun to look back a year at what grinding gear games development plan for 2019 was and assuming like we will continue this for the next 15 or 16 years, we'll be able to do this. We'll be able to do this at the end of each year and kind of see what was announced the previous year and sort of where things went from there. So we've got the development plan for 2019 from grinding gear games last year. 2019. Here's what they say. 2019 will see the release of four significant Path of Exile updates in the form of 3.6 and March 3.7 in June, 3.8 in September and 3.9 in December. These releases will follow the formula we have been using over the last few years, introducing a challenge league, various expansion features, new character, skill, archetypes to play, and masses of other fixes and quality of life improvements
Tyler: while working on the 2019 updates. We also hope to make significant progress on the four point Omega expansion, which we now know as path of exile, too likely coming sometime in 2020. For those unfamiliar with our version numbering system, Once we've released Update 3.9, we are forced to number the next 14 point. Oh, for example, the version after 3.9 and March is 3.10 as we do not expect to release 4.0 in the first part of next year. Development of 4.0 is a massive task that is absolutely affected by our desire to continue to release sizable leagues at our usual pace. So we're taking our time and making sure it's ready before we decide on a release date. 20
Justin: nine. Teen culminates in the Exile Con Fan convention in November, where we can announce and demonstrate December's 3.9 expansion, as well as a small preview of 4.0, this convention takes place approximately 2 to 3 weeks before the 3.9 release, so you should be able to play a near final build at the show. We expect to put Tickets are for sale in the next couple of weeks.
Tyler: We're also putting the finishing touches on the PlayStation four version of Path of Exelon should be able to announce a release date in the near future. It's going to be a busy year.
Justin: So that was the development plan for 2019 Fergie and I will say I think they hit all of them. They nailed it. Yeah, I think they did. And they were very good at their ah, super chilled idea of what four point I was going to be in comparison to what we found out November. So we're going to get to that part sort of Indian. Let's let's break down the league's because we've had now a year we've had were in the fourth league for this this year. So it's obviously three have been completed. Ones very, very new. So let's let's jump through each of them. So we'll go 3.63 point six was the synthesis leak.
Tyler: Mmm. Do you rember what you blade
Justin: synthesis for me Now? I I don't entirely know. I do remember playing arc totems. Ah, for quite a bit of it, just because so synthesis was a huge cast early there were that was the league of ah, huge changes to spells and just casting in general, mainly kind of got kicked a little bit and just was left alone. But casting was a big one So for me, my main one was, uh, was arc totems and it actually carried me. I think I played it quite a bit. Brill League. And I think that one took me to 97 or so. I think I
Tyler: lied Well, and I laughed and I laughed. That was the one league where you are. Totems was just storing everything. You could have done it with your eyes closed. You're having a great time. And you bailed on it to make something else because you felt like it was too slow. And you're flying. I mean, it was like a split second. I couldn't even hit like the start stop button fast enough to to say how fast you were laying your total's. But it was too slow for you. And so you respect?
Justin: Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember too much what I did after that. Only because that that was a big league for me. Just in currency. I had the I can't remember the name of it, but the Mir dhe shield that I ended up selling for I remember selling all of my ark totem gear for I don't know, 60 or 70 exults and just playing around and going crazy and then not carrying after that point. What did you play them? You remember?
Tyler: Uh, I don't remember playing it, but I had it written down. It was how I do my lists of characters. My 3.6 build was an R f character. Okay, remember playing it, but I'm sure it did. Great.
Justin: Nice. So, synthesis. It was not a great release. So it wasn't. Ah, it wasn't my favorite. While we can talk about favorite ones later. But the system was
Tyler: confusing. Yeah, and they're confusing.
Justin: And there's not a whole lot of it left in the
Tyler: game. No, no, it definitely went by the wayside in terms of how it could fit into the current court game. Um, you barely ever see. It really only exists for as I've seen it. Um, it only exists in Zana maps. When you see her in a map, you could have a synthesis map as one of your options. And that's really the only way that I've come across it. Naturally. I don't remember any other way that they've tried to infuse it, but that's that's it. I remember. Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. I was just gonna say I remember it being a league. That was as as much effort as they put into it. I remember it being a leak, that I was completely happy to just skip the content, just go right past whoever was that was doing all the since this stuff and I just play the map and do the atlas. Normally,
Justin: the idea behind it when it was first announced seemed really cool to me. The way it actually played out, I found overwhelmingly confusing. It was really difficult to plan out the I don't even know what you would call it. The map type thing that they had. I didn't find it. There were so many issues where ah ah, block the memory segments. Yeah, an area would, like, clear out for some reason, Or you couldn't. I just didn't like how that function work. There was way too much extra added to the game. And can you even go there? Can you see? What was it called? The nexus, I think. Yeah. I think that's what it was called. Can you still together? Is
Tyler: every Texas not that I know of? No, I don't think you can get the pieces of memory anymore, but you can still get synthesized items. That cannon all within a synthesized map.
Justin: Yeah, it was It was It was a I don't know what the word is that it was ah, valiant attempt to try and make something new to the game. But to me, it was way, way, way, way too much. It was like, what was the one in the previous year with the the boards and all the lines and everything that would, uh, go between all of the bosses? It was the one with the change of the craft.
Tyler: Um oh, syndicate. No, no, it's not called syndicate. I was calling in to get
Justin: the mail. It was to me, it was like that. It was adding way too much of the game, and I just wanted to kill stuff, but so that actually kind of leads into legion. So that was synthesis. It was a fun league, but I did not touch the league mechanics almost at
Tyler: all. It's It's one of its unique, I think since I've started playing, which was in the early two's, um, it was unique in the sense that there's a lot of the times where they have to make a lot of changes. Right? Remember with synthesis, they had that blue stuff that would be coming in, and it would really start to cave in on us what it was speed game, right? So they had to modify it a lot. And even though this was now 2018 but you mentioned betrayal, they modified betrayal a lot to try and balance it for people that were leveling cleared two people that like Game and so that happens in a lot of leagues, and that's just how it goes. But it was one of those leagues where this bite all the changes that they made to try and balance it properly so that it could be playable. It was the mechanic itself that held a lot of people. That, and just matching the memory fragments, being able to store the fragments, figuring out how they work to the best ability was from what I found from what I read. From what I remember, that was the hardest part about the league.
Justin: I had a blast in the league, but I did not enjoy the league mechanic. I loved the castor changes. I love the you know the skill reworks. I really, really liked a lot of the changes that they made for game play, but I did not like the guy just didn't enjoy the synthesis side of of the league. But are we good with 3.6? Yeah, let's move on. So 3.6 goes through, 3.7 comes out in. That's legion. And now legion. I think one of my favorite things about legion the Legion, was it was dummy proof. It was relatively simple. It was very much breach ish. Not obviously the same exactly is breach. But the idea that you would just come across them while you play it. You could do them while you were in a map or in his own, and it didn't require you to really have to do much else. You got to fight additional mobs, and there was obviously other stuff that could happen within that you know how the league was set up. But the overall way that it worked was super simple. Super simple.
Tyler: Yeah, You see it in the map, you hit the button, you just kill as much as you can. Yeah. Maybe they'll kill you if you unlock too much there. Too tough. Or maybe you killed them all. And then you move on, you pick up your loot, you keep going. And I loved it. Absolutely loved it.
Justin: Yeah. And then so with that league, they also came up with a huge Malay rework, which was
Tyler: awesome, especially because the amount of crying melee fans did in 3.6 for the castor league. It was really nice toe. Have those wines dissipate in 3.7? Yeah, and
Justin: and while it was a really, really cool mainly rework, which has really a lot of that stuff even now it's still very useful to Malay builds. A lot of the changes that they made are still super appreciated. It also became literally the cyclone leak. It did. It did. And because of the way that legion worked, I loved the legion part where you would just you'd find it in a map, click it, you'd break a bunch of stuff. You kill a bunch of guys and you keep moving on. I wasn't a huge fan of the endgame side of it where you would go to that that I can't remember what it was called the other area. And you could, you know, based on how many you wanted to do, was the domain of the timeless conflict. Look at you. Ah, that part to me was not my favorite. Only because I had seen what people could do in there with insane gear. And it just made you feel like, very weak. Didn't like. Yeah, yeah. What did you play? Do you remember what you played in that in that leak?
Tyler: Yeah, that was my blocking build my trigger Happy build that I do. And ah, it was perfect for it. Um, I was using Cyclone with it. Now I've recently changed it. The last leaguer to To what's it called Laid Storm. But I did Cyclone for that league with Max block build. And it would have worked really well except trigger skills had almost 100% reproduction crash associate ID for the first month. So I really tried to play, but because I had all three trigger skills on my on my build, I didn't know and they didn't really know they did. It wasn't fixed for about the first month, so Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of playing time and
Justin: didn't actually last that long. Was it a
Tyler: month? It was a month before the trigger skills Scott fixed. It takes time to figure out like that for long was the longest time because it was a cyclone build. They were really focused on trying to fix the mechanics and cycle behind the scenes because they thought cycling is causing a lot of crashes. It ended up causing very few, but it was a focus and it's just how it works, so not as a criticism. It's just what was impacting my specific build took quite a while to fix. And so by then, two people that I play with were kind of Douglas Aly.
Justin: Maybe. I definitely don't think it was specific to the type of build you play, though, because that was the league where Cyclone became channeling and that made a huge difference to what you could do with it. And so you saw so many of the on effect skills now in used with cyclone, which was cool. Now I played flicker strike on Lee because
Tyler: I don't know why I actually don't remember what made me think A flicker strike. You're trying to make me throw up.
Justin: Maybe. Maybe it was my goal. Just 100%. Be sure I wouldn't play with you. I'm not sure, but, uh, I will say it was the first league in I have played since was April 2012 in the in the beta. This was my very first headhunter drop where it actually draw, right? And so that was in one of the Legion things that was actually glacier farming, which was a big thing for me in that league. And I remember it dropped as a unique leather belt. And I was laughing because Ethan, who was who was in my office at the time, and I, you know, kind of just said to him, Of course, it's a tease. I'm not gonna pick it up. What a waste. I know it's gonna be garbage worms, Moulter. Whatever it is, um and so I most over top of it in both of us, just like crap their pants. Because it was it was actually centered, so that that was probably my favorite part of it.
Tyler: That's if you were to have a highlight reel. That's that'd be right
Justin: at the top. Yeah, it was cool to have. I've had ahead 100 before, but they've always been through currency, so this is kind of cool to actually have one draw.
Tyler: That's awesome.
Justin: Yeah. And then So this was also the change. This latte league changed to the five sockets, which obviously allowed you forgetting to That owe me and you were talking about
Tyler: Oh, you mean the map device was able to have five sockets? Yeah, you could find that. I was pretty cool, right? Still in the game, they say still in the game. Is it if this didn't remove it, but I I haven't come across it, You
Justin: know, myself, either. Yeah, it and then timeless jewels were and they were in that the guy didn't play much with, um, they confused the hell out of me. I don't want to see a jewel with just a bunch of numbers, and you have to just put it in to find out what it was just just wasn't for me, But it was fun, Lee. I liked I liked legion. So, Jenny, we're good with legion.
Tyler: I believe so.
Justin: Legion then leads into blight, So blight comes out. I found it, actually, at little shocking that it was tower defense. It made me laugh when they announced it. And this was the league of monster minion buffs, which I knew you were in love with, obviously, since I read
Tyler: it. I am a minion. Pet lover, depending. What game you come from. I am hollow vote minions. My league. It was fantastic.
Justin: So what did you play that league?
Tyler: Zombies. What? Well, I did. They made a lot of I wasn't originally gonna plays office. I was. There's 11 or two of my guides. I've only played on Collins. Wanna have a plate on PC? And so I really wanted to play one of the other ones. But there were so many changes to minions and not just minions like the core gem like zombies was modified substantially from 3.73 point eight. But then they added an insane amount of very different but also powerful. Um, support gems like feeding, frenzy and meat shield and death Mark. And then they changed the values of the corresponding like minion damage and minion speed to accommodate those new additions and how minions leveled and then the whole necromancer ascendancy. It was so different that I had to play it just to see what it was like for the sake of replying to guide responses. But it was really good. Obviously
Justin: it was the first league for me since again. I want to say it was backing closed Beta. Uh, when I was playing, I think one of my very first builds I ever played was minions. And I remember one of the very first things I ever message the developers to say was there needs to be a counter like the idea that I can't see how many zombies I have out is really difficult to play, how a minion build. And so this was, I think, my first time touching minions. Besides, I played with us rs a little bit, but I don't think I touch onions for years, years and years. Of course, with this league, you really there wasn't I mean, I could have played other stuff, but it just said it made so much sense to play around with with millions, and it was fun. It was the easiest league start I've ever had ever in the history of path of exile. I remember going, but this is something's wrong. This is.
Tyler: Well, you didn't zombies for your league start, right? You didn't do any different. Yeah,
Justin: No, I went zombies and it was just It was better. It was so smooth. And I remember laughing to you. Maybe a month in just jokingly saying that. Oh, boy, you're zombies are going to take a hit. I think it was actually right after celestial zombies came out. I was like, All you're screwed. That's it. That's the curse. Once you could stay with celestial. You're done. Yeah, So that that actually, for me, blight didn't last a super long time. But I do remember ending it with celestial everything. Of course, I got every single celestial, empty X had a bunch of the minions in the celestial on. Did you? Did you like the blighted leak? Did you like the tower
Tyler: defense again? I really liked it. I'm I was apathetic to the tower defense part, but I am a huge fan. My favorite leagues are the ones that just let me kill stuff right away. And so I love things like blight. You know, I love it when I have an insane amount of rogue exiles on the map. I just love it. What is it? Reach where they come out of the ground. Just love it. So this one was similar to that? I didn't have to go anywhere else to find my to do the lead content. And they were just comes rushing at you, which is great. Um, I I was apathetic to the tower stuff, so I basically just looked for the closest checkpoint. Her choke point or two made them slow and then let my minions deal with the rest. And Natalie, because zombies were so overpowered, that strategy did work. It was their intense to make towers almost required, unless you had an insanely over powerful built. So, um, I did like it. I love that the minions just came rushing at you, or I guess not passing pod, whatever that was called, but yeah, no, I really liked it. If if it worked, if it worked.
Justin: Sure. I think my favorite part about Blight was sister Cassius. Oh, here singing and was listening in. And she just didn't give a damn about you either. Was almost irritated that you were there.
Tyler: Yeah, Yeah, she needed you. And that pissed her off. Yeah, it was pretty funny. I do the one thing about blight. It would have been It was very difficult. I primarily play console and it people had to really, really do specific builds that weren't busy for a Minion League. Blight was too busy, right? I mean, everybody's has a lot of minions out, and then there's an insane amount of monsters out with a lot of hit points. And there was It was just a slide show on normal consoles, not just the original P s foreign Xbox one, but the the second version of thumb. Even some people with the Higher and PS four and Xbox one X they they'd run into some pretty big slide. So slideshow stuff, too, depending on it. So for ah, Minion League blight kind of counteracted itself with with what would be overpowered and successful. So a lot of the streams that you would see we're primarily PC, especially as you got later into the league, because only a higher NPC could actually handle a full blight map. The full board of minions. But I really liked it. I just wish it I just wish
Justin: it worked, right? I do remember hearing people struggling with the blighted maps in later in game, just with the amount of stuff that would happen on your own screen. And then you multiply that by a 1,000,000,000 with the amount of mobs that were coming out
Tyler: and they didn't even implement it into console immediately. It was so challenging because of the frame rate issues and such on PC. They implemented it into 3.9 right away. But they didn't don't console and they're fixed on console was to just make less paths less minions. And it's just so easy. Mmm, It's so easy. It's Ah, I mean, I'm glad it's in it. I'm glad it's in it, but
Justin: I've actually done them more while I run into them. Yeah, me, too. It's kind of nice It I guess it's nice because they're not so often. I never I never had a problem with the the Tower defense, but I also never cared to do much else Besides the reason ones. I would hit the ice ones and then just sit back in the middle and let my let the minions just do their thing in the middle. Yeah, I remember
Tyler: doing. I like I like it. I don't mind. Some people have an issue when they have to stay in a spot and fight enemies. I don't care as long as there's enemies and I really like blight and breach. What's the abyss for those types of ones? I really like them. Overall, I thought it was a great legal.
Justin: And then we went into the current league, which there's not a whole lot to talk about, just cause it's so new.
Tyler: Well, they nerved one minion from 3.8. Do you know which one mother, actually, too. That's true. It was, in vectors, passions on these songs and
Justin: then the support James. Now that being said, we've talked about this in the in the patch notes, ones necessary changes, maybe a little heavy handed. Hopefully, it's adjusted a little bit, but, uh,
Tyler: yeah, because I think it was fair. I was pretty broken hearted, and I wasn't overly kind with, uh, my opinion of it, But I do think it was
Justin: after the human stuff. Yeah, it was kind of necessary. Now they did a huge Bo Ri work with 3.9
Tyler: 3.9. That was the bowl leak or is the bullet
Justin: is in the bowl league? So what now? It's funny that we say it's the bowl EQ. What are you playing?
Tyler: Playing about build and I'm playing a build every every boat skill got buffed or modified to be relevant is this league. But there were two to Bo won support and one primary scale active skill that got Ah, I guess nerved would be appropriate. I played elemental hit. I lost a lot of damage compared to 3.8, and I'm playing with its link to the ballistic totem support, which is brand new. Um, they changed that from the attack, told him support which originally you could only lay one at a time unless you invested further in the tree with items. Now it can lay three so and blisters are brand new to the league. This league, too. It's a new type of attack totem that you have to lay within Malay Range as opposed to being able to swell. So But yeah, uh, my my specific build got hit hard, but this is a bow league, and people are going both crazy and they're loving
Justin: it. I skipped Bo's entirely for this league so far. I decided to go a spectral throw. I'm having a really good time, actually. Meta morph. I have struggled a little bit with some stuff. First time with S S f for quite a long time. But it's I like it. The Metamor stuff again. I have found this league more challenging, I think, for in a positive way, Not just like Okay, dump chaos, damage on me, like in syndicate or right, uh, make a stupid area that closes on me within, like, three seconds. As soon as I move like synthesis. This is This is legit. Like, if it's difficult, it's my fault. I made it harder. I love that. I absolutely love that.
Tyler: Yeah, me too. I love that you can take You could make it. I mean, it's still gonna be a boss fight if you took all white items. But you can take the easiest body parts and make the easiest boss you can. And if you have a really weak build, you'll you'll do. Okay, right. But if you have ah, pretty good. Not the best billed as you're leveling and you do all the hardest ones, it's gonna be a hard fight, and it's I thought it was really well balanced right off the bat. A lot of the changes they've made weren't to these new bosses. That was really cool. One thing that I love that meta morph added just into the core game was completely was much harder enemies, they added. Armor and elemental increase. Resistance is in chaos. Resistance is they increased the life off bosses and enemies and rare Sze everywhere. And they just made the game. They didn't increase their damage, but they increased their survivability, and it has made the game itself a lot harder. Meta morph is a great league and the changes they made to the core game that they introduced with meta morph and perfect timing. Of course, because you're making a boss league and then you're adding all these extra boss survivability things into the game as well. I was perfect cohesion, and I think they did a really good job. They haven't changed any of it. It's awesome.
Justin: Yeah, I don't even remember. Are the changes for that tied to the metamorphosis? Igor, This conquers of the atlas. It's kind of hard to tell which was for what.
Tyler: It's well, it's all the same, right? I mean, it's tied two unique enemies. It's tied to this of the very specific map. Bosses were individually tweaked. Yeah, I mean, some of them boss fights were completely rebound anyway. But for those existing ones there, they were specifically tweet so that they were an appropriate level. It wasn't just flat, you know, This this tear all got the same percentage of health increase. From what I remember them saying anyway, so it's all intertwined.
Justin: So then tied in with 3.9 and metamorphoses this the big end game change to the atlas of Now we're into the conquers of the atlas. We've got new new endgame. Bosses knew endgame story, and I mean, we're both relatively new into it. I think you're a bit further than I am, but again, I've had a blast. It's made. It's made mapping much more challenging at a lower tier, and that's fun. I like that.
Tyler: Yeah, definitely. I'm I think it's it's done a very good job. So far, I've heard that higher up that there's some some issues with people that were David Cook to complete certain quests or boss fights, or that certain items weren't falling within a proper area. But for the most part, this has been this league tied with the new endgame that they've created. To me, it's it path of excels always tried to be a very difficult game. And trying to incorporate what people want in the game and what they want in the game is obviously a very tricky thing. I well, I would assume for them say so in their interviews. And it's, I think this has done just a fantastic job of making the game difficult while keeping the game powerful.
Justin: Yep, Yeah, I agree. And it's again. It's a little hard to judge because we're three weeks, two weeks into it, into the league, so it's still got a bit of legs behind it before we see how it all plays out. But so far it's been a positive experience.
Tyler: Yeah, the one thing I really like about this new endgame for Metamor are not for many more, but the conquers of the atlas is that you are going to see the same bosses that you're gonna fight it. The end throughout the atlas. Not just that. Yeah, and I think that is so good. G has tried to make this game more accessible to new people over and over without making the game easier. And the huge problem that a lot of new people, if they made it to t fifteens and sixteen's, which they would be able to clear a T 15. No problem. They'd crush the Boston problem than they'd meet a guardian and they get crushed. And this new method that they have of fighting the same boss but then in multiple tears as you get further and further into the atlas. It's nice because you're now familiar with the boss as it's getting harder, and I think it's a lot more accessible to new people. And I think they did a really good job considering that, too.
Justin: I think it'll be curious to see how that plays out as we get further into the Alice, because for me, I it's hard for me to say I definitely agree with you. It's cool that you're already hitting endgame bosses in like tear fours and fives, and that's just gonna you know, you're gonna only able to expand on that as you get further along. But I haven't gotten there yet, so it's hard to say, Yeah, I'm loving it It just as much when I'm into your 15th and 16th yet So that's cool. Yeah, it has been good so far. All right, so here's a question for you. We'll start. We'll start with the negative side first just because I know you're a positive positive guy. So, yeah, what was your least favorite league? And why of those four? And it's kind of hard because I know madam, or so new, but I highly doubt it. It will be the one. But which of those we've got 3.6 a synthesis. 3.7. His legion 3.8 is blight. And then the current 3.9 metamorphose, which was your least favorite league. And why
Tyler: synthesis was easy to ignore if you didn't like it. Legion. I really liked the mechanics, but my specific build didn't get fixed for a month. I think my least favourite was blight. Now I really liked blight, but there's the common sense of making your meta being capable of doing your mechanic, and they didn't coincide at all and because I'm a console player and G knows about their console games, and they need to be able to make their game for the least efficient platform that they release it on. I think blight was my least favorite because I couldn't play it on my favorite platform.
Justin: Yeah, okay, so for me, my least favorite would be It's probably synthesis. But it's kind of unfortunate for me to say that because I played synthesis much, much longer than blamed much longer, I would say almost twice as long as Blake. I played synthesis, and that was because I loved the changes to spells. It made the milk fund to play. But I absolutely hated the league mechanic. I just could not. I didn't like it. It wasn't fun at all. Where is Blight it? Ah, it almost seemed a little bit too easy. And I didn't have any interest in the the the Blight mechanic. So and that literally was the endgame. Yeah. You know, as you leveled, there wasn't anything new that you were introducing towards the end game. And so I found a burnt out real fast, but synthesis for me. If I'm looking at it, from a league perspective, I hated. Synthesis is engaged. I did not like any of the the nexus stuff. I felt completely lost all the time on that one, like figuring it out. So for me, that that was me I loved, absolutely loved the actual plane of that league and the skills and the reworks and stuff. One of my favorites. But the actual lead mechanic to me was the blight wasn't poorly done. It wasn't that the league mechanic was poorly done. It just I didn't interest me, was great. But the synthesis league mechanic, to me was a little bit shortsighted and definitely wasn't one of my least favorite ones. But now let's
Tyler: move away from the brightest guys so I could see how synthesis confuses you.
Justin: I know I like simple, simple. So let's move away
Tyler: from you go. You go first on this one, you go first.
Justin: Okay, So this is gonna be our favorite, which was our favorite league. And why you go legion for sure. I'm really liking meta morph. I can't say for sure until the end of this league where they'll line up Legion introduced so many Malay where he works that I've been working for. Well, we're looking forward to forever. And so I tend to lean more towards the mainly type skills. It's just more fun for me, and I loved a lot of the changes that they did and Legion League Mechanic was was dummy proof. It was It was so simple to play. I wasn't a really big fan of that hole. Put the five things and I did it, you know, I played it. I did beat the one with all five, and but I felt like it was so forced to go that the cyclone route, if you really want, especially once the headhunter had dropped it. It made it really easy to go, and I just have a couple swords and put on the belt in the hallway. But the the lead mechanic to me, was a lot of fun. It was within the map. Side is what I'm referring to like. It made it very, very easy to just play the atlas to just play my build. Maley was strong, and so for me, as a Finnish league, it's the only one I can compare it to, because anymore so far has actually been a lot of fun, but we're like 23 weeks in, so I can't really give it the top for me. So what about you?
Tyler: Catch for me was it's meta morph. Really, I know we're only that into it, but it's ah, it's harder right now. I know. Adding all the resists in defense for enemies is isn't necessarily for the league itself, right? That's just core. Game change is kind of like the endgame. But coupling that with adding bosses that you can choose how difficult they are you could specifically choose rewards like I want more rare items are away. Should I do, ah, unique item or should I do more currency drops and you're actually guaranteed at least something of what you've chosen. Now you don't know what the body parts are gonna offer you money from all of your options. You you're picking your rewards, which is so great in a game like this, you're picking the difficulty based on the reward, which is so great you can pick the location in the map where you're gonna fight. Um, it's just it's awesome. And I love one thing that, like I mentioned before about G one in this game. Hard, but people wanting to clear it in the blink of an eye. This slows the game down, right? Like we've we've talked who will get to excel con in a bit. But one thing that they really wanted to do with Pee wee, too, was really slow. The game down. And this is a huge step in that direction, even a year before Pee Wee to comes out is you're slowing down these enemies air rough. You need a really good build to destroy the really hard metamorphose and a moderately leveled build. Or one that's still trying to find its gear, still trying to find that right to weapon full of mods that they would boost their DPS quite a lot. It's gonna be a challenge, and you're and you're making tough choices. I love Metamor for that, and it's and it's metamorphose itself is stable, rock solid, stable, right? A lot of the issues that have come out with 3.9 have actually been with a new endgame, not with metamorphosis thing. It's been bug free, but I just think it's been the most stable. It's been the most exciting. It's the most. I'm spending time looking at my screen, choosing what I want to do. It's not just blind. I love it. I absolutely love it.
Justin: Who are the 3.9 for you? That's nice. Yeah, alright, it's a legion. I do like metamorphic. We'll see how it plays out. Okay, so you actually brought it up. But let's one of the final things that they talked about in their development plan for 2019 was Excel Con. So x o Khan was obviously a huge deal for people who like Path of Excel. Ah, whether you went or not, just the idea that they were doing it was awesome. The fact that this indie development game was going to be, you know, has grown to the size of holding its own conference or a game. And then not only are they doing it, but they're gonna hold it in literally the for this place, every other country on Earth, that that's awesome. The fact that
Tyler: a good turnout they had to increase what they had to upgrade their venue.
Justin: I think I heard when we were so we I got to go, which was awesome. I went with my son, who's Ethan and and we I mean, we had a blast. He definitely had a huge, really, really good time when he was there. And I know me and you had talked about possibly going and it just didn't work out. But, ah, the I can't remember the number I want to say It was around 1313 100 people, is what we were told out was there, which is insane, especially given a huge percentage of those were not local. And when I was looking it up just out of curiosity, the closest besides Australia, the closest place that you could fly from was 12 hours away, which is just It just made me laugh because it's yeah, it literally is the furthest place away from everywhere else on Earth. Besides, you know, the people in Australia. But when we were in a cool when we were down there, I'll just quickly throw this in there when we were down there, actually made a reddit post because I was floored at the way that the people that were there were acting towards each other and the community sort of just in general. It really took me back to beta days of P o E. It just was Everybody was friendly. Everybody was hanging out, you know, like they're just was It was a really cool vibe there. And that's coming from, Uh, no, I'm not old, but an older guy. I mean, I think probably the average age I would have guessed was probably 27 28 there. But it was just cool. Like people were Tibor Super friendly. I mean, Ethan, he's 18. He had a blast, so it was a really cool experience. And then, uh, well, I mean, we should get to really the 22 major announcements, I guess maybe three. So we had 3.9, which was obviously this expansion in the whole change to the conquerors of the atlas. A cool, cool announcement that came out mobile announcement. Saving the big one for the mobile announcement was hilarious, because I remember sitting in the theater and watching people figure, you know, are they out of their minds, like, is this is this really is Are they lying? Everybody kind of thought, you know, until you saw how much you know they had the fall guy, which was hilarious. in their video and ah, and then Christmas, because
Tyler: that's his job to raid.
Justin: Oh, it was so well done, though. It was so well done. I hope it was his idea, because I think that that it was one of the funniest titles for anybody in the
Tyler: whole in any
Justin: of the videos. The
Tyler: mobile fall guy, Global fall
Justin: guy. But it was a good view. And then Chris kind of talking afterwards about how it was hard to announce this last year made me crack up.
Tyler: Oh, that he was so nervous. What? Cono Not sure what they were going to do.
Justin: Yeah. And then, of course, the huge p o e. To which was, you know, the pre announced four point. Oh, but is actually gonna be path of exile, too. So I'm curious. What? What did you think? I mean, the ex con was so big, we can't cover obviously all of it. But now what? What was sort of your
Tyler: overall? So for those listening, Justin, Nathan got to go. I, of course, did not get to, but we were messaging quite a lot throughout the entire conference, and it was really cool to get their perspective of to what was happening when what I could see. And so I was watching on Twitch and YouTube, and I got to see a lot of the interviews that Justin you think you can get to see while they were there because you could just can't see everything live. But they only had one channel that was streaming some of the interviews. And so I think obviously my favorite part of ex Sal Khan was the path of exile to announcement. But the best part of that was when I think it was Chris that came out after when Chris he was almost crying and he was having such a hard time controlling his emotions and his love for his game, his passion for the community that plays. He was so overwhelmed with people's excitement over what they were doing and their excitement to play even more and get more. I just can't imagine what it would be like. They were saying that they, for the longest time there was like four people. Only the people that were allowed in his office without knocking knew that 4.0 was actually gonna be p o. B two and it was only hey was saying that it was just nobody knew and for that to just get off their chests for them to be able to talk about everything. It was one of my other favorite moments along with Chris. Almost crying in a good way was when Jonathan maybe maybe this quick maybe was both. But I think it was Jonathan. He sat down for one of his, um, interviews, twitch interviews, and he was so calm. He was just so exciting, was so relaxed and he just said, Ask me anything. There's no more secrets And he was just so happy to just talk about anything. And I thought that was really cool because there's so much that's still going to come. And I mean, when you compare this to the Deauville for announcement, it just blows it out of the water. And the things that these are even comparable G was thinking about for even longer, It seems. It's just It was It was so exciting. I can't wait for another 19 ascendancy classes while we're on the subject.
Justin: Yeah, it's gonna be cool. So I haven't I mean, you know this story and there's There's obviously a few of our friends that we know locally and that our family, friends and stuff no, this story and very few people outside of that would obviously know about this. Besides, there was a picture, but one of my one of my favorite sort of experiences when we were there because there were a lot, I mean, just that being in New Zealand on its own was amazing. That that country is beautiful. Yeah, but we were the day before the exile con event we had run into about, I don't know, we had met just because Ethan wanted to go out and do all of the meet ups and stuff, and I was following along with him. We met quite a few people on Dhe, some really, really cool people while we were out there that we hung around with and, you know, would go for lunch and go exploring with. And so we were. We were walking with three other guys to other guys. I don't remember. There were I think there were four or five of us, but we were walking down one of the main streets right by where X Sal Khan was gonna be taken taking place. And as we're walking down the street, this guy's walking towards us and he's wearing a path of exile shirt and right off the battles I cooled. My God, that's Chris And he's just by himself. He's just walking up. But the funniest part is he kind of looks at our group and he sees that. I think four of the people in our group are wearing path of XL shirts and at this, or jackets or something. And at this point path of exile like or a story? The ex con event hasn't started yet. There's not like
Tyler: the next day or something. It's
Justin: gonna be the next day. There's not a ton of people down, like in that area yet that are, you know, path of exile people. And so he looks over at us and he smiles and he's like, Hey, guys! And so you know, will you stop? We're like, Oh, hey, how's it going? And he he pulls his phone out. He's like, Do you guys mind if I take a picture with you and in my head I'm thinking, What the hell? And it didn't seem like everybody else was grasping that it was him. And the thing is, he had shaved like he was freshly shaved, which is not his normal look at all. And so we're kind of like, Yeah, sure for sure. And so he takes his phone, puts it into the selfie and holds it up high and takes a picture of himself with, like the 45 of us standing behind him, smiling and he turns around. He laughs, and he's like he mentioned the fact that, you know, a bunch of us were wearing path of exile stuff and he hit. The comment was, I need to take a picture so I can show people that people give a shit about my stuff. And of course it made his life. And so then he kind of looks at us for a second awkwardly is like, Do you guys want a picture? And in my and I'm like I grabbed Ethan. I pushed him. I'm like, Yeah, of course we want a picture like get in there. And so we take this picture of the four of them standing with Chris Wilson just in the middle of the street, and he's like, Thanks, guys, have a great you know, conference and was so great seeing you. He takes off and even kind of looks a measly and he's familiar. Like
Tyler: what? Who is that like, Oh, my God, that's Chris Wilson.
Justin: And he freaks out. Like what? It was a lot of fun, and he was So he was so nice. He actually recognized us when he was when Ethan was in line to go and get his signature, he wouldn't. God is like map signed by a bunch of the developers and stuff. And so he took pictures with him again. But, yeah, it was It was fun. It was It was a lot of fun. It was really cool to watch. You know, stuff happened through him as well. So yeah, it was cool. But so your favorite announcement would have been purely to
Tyler: announcement there was. I mean, there was so much interesting stuff that we've talked about in other episodes and that we have lined up for the future episodes. But my favorite announcement was most definitely peewee to her entire. Do that.
Justin: Yeah, it was very cool. It was a fun to sort of hear the reaction, which I'm sure people experienced it anywhere they were if they were listening and cared about path of excel, just the idea that they were coming up with two and that it was gonna coincide with one and
Tyler: yeah. Oh, just so I have three very specific things that excite me. Ah, lot of appeal. We too. But what is it that you are looking? I mean, we have I know we have, Ah, an episode coming up about this. But what is short, Quickly. What are a couple of things that really excite you about beauty too? Well,
Justin: I feel like a lot of it'll safer. Probably a future episode. But I would say right off the top of my head, I just love the idea of a new story line. Okay, you know, just that whole new I've been playing path of exile for a long time. So and as of you and it's it's kind of cool to think that there's gonna be an entirely new storyline to follow. There is way too much for me to say what like my actual favorite stuff is, and we'll talk about that obviously coming up, But yeah, I think just the idea that there's a whole new storyline that's gonna be coming along isn't is very cool. What about you?
Tyler: Slower paced game play? New gym system. 19 newest sentences. The fact that they're going to have what was a 38? It was 19. That's currently 19 right yet 631 Yet Okay, so 38 sentences that are going to be different and all have the ability to have multiple place 1000 builds within each. That's mind going.
Justin: It'll be cool to see if there's 38 different ones. That's a
Tyler: lot. Oh my goodness, I e My brain's exploding thinking of voting.
Justin: So yeah, so I mean, overall, though with the information that they gave on exile con and and sort of, their announcements back in 20 the beginning of 2019 for it, I would say it was a hit. Think they kind of nailed it? It really seemed to go Well, they seem to be really happy with how it went. And everyone that I ran into and spoke to their just loved it like every single person had a blast. Sweet. Oh, yeah. It was really good.
Tyler: What about mobile? You gonna play?
Justin: I have played it. You played it while I was there is true. It was It's cool. You know what? They've done a really good job with it. It's It's It's very simple to play very simple to just, you know, play with you with your thumbs. I'm not a mobile game person. I don't tend to play very many games on the mobile. If I was made me, I can't think of maybe flying. I tend to do work that when I'm flying. So I don't know, Maybe if I was maybe if I was just looking for something to do, it's simple enough to pick up and it will be free. So I'm sure I will install it. Uh, hopefully, hopefully by the time that they come out with it, it doesn't try to set your phone on fire because it runs very, very hot. They gave phones that you could test with, so I don't know what what models of these phones they were, but your hands were like, Yeah, it's like you took something out of the oven by the time you had played it for about 2025 minutes. Yeah. Would you play
Tyler: it mobile I'll download it if my phone can handle it. Um, but I'm I'm just it really impressed. Yeah, I'm excited for it. I'll give it a shot. I'll try and make time for you, But I'm I'm not gonna go out of my way because I play on call. It's a land PC as well, but I'm excited to try it. I hope my phone complaint, and if it does, I'll definitely forced myself. Thio, give us some time and I'm sure it'll be great. One of my favorite lines from Path of exile to, though, was when I think it was, Chris said. We don't care if it's successful, but if it's not, we don't care. If we make money like they don't even have micro transactions lined up for it, they might not. Even I don't think we're going to. It's just a game. It's just free and it's We wanted to be a really good mobile game if it makes money, fine. But they don't even see how it's going to make money. And if it doesn't okay like it's a mobile game for mobile people, that's all it is and I thought that was really cool because it solidifies. I remember the rage when Xbox came out with as the first console, the first non PC platform for Pee Wee, too, and a lot of PC land exploded in rage. And so PlayStation had a much friendlier release, of course. And so it's it's nice for PC players or just console only players to know that that they're not going to be overlooked because of a new focus of income. So if the false really cool,
Justin: especially because there could have been that's right now like there is a there's a lot of money that can be made a mobile. So the fact that they're not putting the focus on it is really nice. Well, so yeah, I would say, I would say with their development notes from 2019 I'm really excited to see what the 2020 ones will come out with it in the next few days because they stayed true to damn near everything
Tyler: they were spot on. Yeah, I think the only thing that it will be a little bit off and by no criticism at all is just their timeline for Pee Wee, too. I think it's 21. You were reading it. It was like some time in 2020. Maybe early. Maybe not Now they're thinking, but absolute earliest is the very end of 2020 Likely 2021. But peewee to always any time of year. I'm just too excited.
Justin: Yeah, I feel like I heard it going all the way up to 3.12. So I'm you know, that gives at least three more leagues. Nine more months. Eso maybe the very, very
Tyler: end. Well, we'll see. I don't really care. I'll release it over Christmas Tree. Oh, man,
Justin: I hope they do so bad. That's the December release. Oh, merry Christmas. Be a means fixing only p o e one will continue to work on. That would be the best Christmas gift. Oh, we could talk about so much. Yeah, All right. So let's let's end this one off. I think this was this was cool that it was fun to look back. It's sort of what they did in 2019 and and now, and sort of give us an idea of what to look forward to for 2020. So we wanted to do a giveaway. I think it's gonna be fun.

Full Transcript of Episode:
Justin: Hey there. Welcome to Episode five of Forever Exile. The Path of Exile Podcast. I am one of your host, Justin A K Tags.
Tyler: And I'm Tyler Wrecker of Days. Well, we made it Number five. Yeah. Good. Good. We're doing the best of episodes, Ari.
Justin: Yeah, where we're at, like, take 41. Roughly
Tyler: way. Our we've been We've been giggling trying to start this podcast for, like, the last hour.
Justin: You know, actually, you saying that makes me want to just quickly jumped the gun a little bit because I noticed, if you're one of your notes was just how incredible your giggle is.
Tyler: So I obviously listen to the podcast. Once you've finished editing them, Justin does everything. By the way, I just sit here and giggle and make fun of him. But after he's edited and what we get to listen to it, I like to listen to it to see what it, of course, sounds, likes weak and make it better make the next episode better and better and constructive criticism I have noticed now that I really ate my giggle. I sound so lame. Gable. It sounds totally fine in my head. I feel like a manly man when I giggle in my head. But my goodness, when I giggle when I hear from the outside, it's brutal.
Justin: So that just shows how impressive it is that for four episodes I've been editing your giggle just to increase the highs. I'm just kidding. I should think this is going to be, like, really high.
Tyler: No, this episode I'm gonna Ha, ha.
Justin: That is hilarious. Yes, I am. Anyway, that made me think of it. You said giggle. It's your fault. Uh, all right, So tell me anyway, tell me about your build. You've been doing it. I mean, do refresher on your building where you're at right now. Let's let's hear it.
Tyler: All right. Um, I finally had some time to gets maps, which was nice. I finished last few acts quite quickly. I like those last acts because there's very few side quest you need to do for extra passive points and finally got endgame. Tried to do it with my leveling gear, which wasn't special. It's not leveling gears, just whatever dropped. So I was pretty bad on resist. Tried to do. I know 5 to 10 maps with it, and, uh, just before the podcast started. I finally capped my resists, but damage is good and survivability would be good. I'm really liking it. I don't know what people are complaining about a lot of fun. Single target damage isn't great, but the game's a lot harder to so anyway,
Justin: where you build when you say people complaining, Are you referring to just in general or specifically to your build?
Tyler: Sorry specifically for that guide? I'm referring to the which building I do, and I'm doing my sion build. It's Ah, deadeye and inquisitor. It's elemental hit with attached to What's it called? It's still the list of support the ballistic totem support, Lester told him, Supports really weak. You basically need four totems, even though it only gives you three. You have to go find 1/4 told him just to make it worthwhile. But I'm quite liking it. And because you're constantly moving and laying the totems with elemental hit and with crit and with all the extra ailments that air happening freezing and shocking, it's I I really like it so far. I mean, I have a four, a blue four link, and, uh, I've been fine, so I'm excited to get a a nice five link.
Justin: Your survivability, though, seems to be at least reasonable. So far, you're really
Tyler: very easy. It was really easy while levelling, of course, ramps up a bit once you get into the atlas. But, um, I had 19% fire resist, and I think 55 or 60 Ah, lightning resist. And there's a lot more chaos damage and oh, my goodness. I redid the graveyard. I did the new graveyard boss fight, and that's cool. I don't know if that was in our notes somewhere, so I don't want to jump ahead.
Justin: I don't think I've actually done graveyard yet.
Tyler: Oh, the chaos. I just love how viable chaos is. I feel like it's syndicate, but without needing the crazy nurse that syndicate needed for a month straight, it's There's so much more chaos, damage, um, the new I don't really want to spoil it, but for the podcast tried Well, for you, the graveyard boss battle that used to just be you'd go into that crypt, right? And then to be that I mean, it's changed a couple of times now. I think it's a change it again and Now it's kind of like an open crypt area where you fight one of the skeleton bosses that existed in campaign. But then, once you beat that one whole wave of enemies come. And then a second skeleton boss comes because I think you can do that. Different ones, Yes, and I love it. There's shocking to let crazy. They're throwing chaos, damage at you from from range. I really liked it and especially because it's what. But it dropped for me. I think it was my fifth map. I don't know if it's Tier 12 or three. I forget, but it was when you're not really set with your resists. That's a punishing boss battle, and I really liked it. But back to the build, I just finished capping my resists and survivability was pretty easy before, so it's gonna be a lot better now.
Justin: Nice and damage with elemental hit and ballistic
Tyler: clearing is no problem. Single target damage requires some patients, Um, but not only for the impatient, I guess you could say, um, I don't find that for me. I'm used to a slower paced game, and I don't find it tedious by any means. um
Justin: Well, you actually, because under a single target apartment, do you think you'll do anything to change single target? Like, do you have any plans for?
Tyler: Yeah, right now I'm using a blue Oh, right. Four link. Yeah. I'm using a blue for link right now. So it all it does, it's giving me 7 18% attack speed and 24% elemental damage. So I knew the second I even even if I had a white five link or a nice yellow four link, I don't think it would be a problem at all.
Justin: Nice. Yes. So, me, I am doing spectral throw, still sticking with it, and, uh, I'm into maps. I've gotten past all of the, you know, the levelling, all that good stuff. Ah, it's been decent. It's solar cell. Found for me is a whole new breed of playing this game. I'm just so used to, ah, hit endgame by some of the gear that I want to at least make the maps a little easier to clear. Make sure I've got ah, you know, the right resists. But the build that I'm just playing around with is working. Fine. Now that I've got my gem slots set up. I'm still also only running off of a four link chest, so that'll make a big difference once I can do that. And I'm swapping GMP for ah, slower projectile still, which I probably I probably will do through the whole thing anyway. So it's it's been not bad. It's a little a little slow, uh, had huge hiccups as I was leveling and I'm realizing I think I made that. We made the comment that we were chatting that weapons hold. My gosh, Did they ever make such a big difference? Like,
Tyler: Oh, and I love it. I love it.
Justin: Yeah, it's It's nice. It's just it's I feel different. It's weird that that's different. I mean, you've always needed to upgrade weapons, obviously toe to scale your damage, but I don't know if it's just spectral throw. I don't know if it's if there was a specific change that's made that different, but I have found that without that, that constant upgrade to weapons which, by the way, upgrading Klaus Sucks is brutal. To find Klaus that have reasonable roles, especially cousin went straight physical, it's really hard to find replacement clause Once I've got something that's rolled plus physical and plus percentage physical, I can't It's really, really hard to find something that will improve that.
Tyler: Catch him Well, I mean, I know your pain. I'm still using my blue four links. So, um, but it's I just love. I think it has everything to do with just the changes that they made to defense in the how bosses they're scale. All the extra armor and chaos and elemental resists. And for everyone, I just I just love that update where they made them harder to kill, but they don't hit harder. I mean, some of the boss mechanics had changed dramatically, which makes them a lot harder to, But it just makes weapons that much more important. And I love it because for melee, they're much more dependent on weapons than any other type of, um, build. I would say, like if you're doing spells, you can get away with not needing a fantastic wander staff, right? Or don't whatever also you're using. But when you're doing spells, you don't need something epic. It's just great to have opinions. You don't need anything, but of course, it's just mid. Maxine if you want to get a convicting one with sweet rolls Malays desperate for a good melee weapon. And I love that right after they have a melee league, they come out, they buff stuff to make melee weapons Much more important, I think it's really cool. I love how they did it.
Justin: It is, Yeah, I think if I had maybe thought a little differently into ah, maybe it may be a different skill, or I don't know if I could have incorporated different types of weapons, but I just I feel like for a solo cell found I made it harder than I needed to because I've just I've struggled to roll clause that are good to use,
Tyler: are you? Claw Only
Justin: while I'm spect into a lot of the claw nodes just for the the engine for the crit. But
Tyler: that's that's one of those things than that, I guess you kind of cornered yourself into then.
Justin: Yeah, so we'll see. I mean, I'm now, uh, into maps. I've gotten it. Did the atlas. I mean, maze will just jump a little bit too. That is kind of cool. I've again, I'm not super far into it of ah, unlocked out Zana. So she's back. I've had these weird encounters with the the new the new bosses, like have just spawned And I can remember the name of the one that I've seen, but he kind of just spawned in, yelled at me and then took off and it just got the notification to keep following him. And I'm
Tyler: like, Yeah, I had that and I couldn't see what was happening. The map was still busy and I heard some dialogue. I didn't really know what it was, and yeah, that's to read it at the same time.
Justin: So I'm I've noticed that as I've done more maps in that quadrant, um, he's popped up a few times. I haven't gotten much further into how that whole system works, but what I will say is, on top of the hole, okay? Trying to figure out weapons as I'm going along it further to what you were talking about with your build. My God resists so resist to me has always they've always been king. You get to endgame, you get resists. You just have to. I have never felt Maur than this league like yes, you Absolutely have to capture resists. It is especially getting into these these new bosses. Yeah, I don't know if he just happens to be lightning based or why everything is lightning. But after he popped up the bosses, or just like random rare Tze and just mobs would all of a sudden spawned with additional lightning damage, they would put these things on the ground. They were shooting. It was killing me so quickly and I think was in 40 48% or so, which normally obviously that's not great. But normally in a tear to map, I wouldn't be Oh, you know, I really need to be in 75. I just be working to get gear. And as I captured that cap it, I had no choice but to actually start adjusting my gear and what it made a huge difference, which I'm not had a lead like that before. And I started thinking because the first it pissed me off first thing I was like Oh my God, so tired of dying. And then, as I started to, you know, just the gear and especially with SSF, it makes it a little bit harder. But the the ability to now have to actually plan around capping my resists walk, maintaining life and damage. It's actually made it kind of fun. Yeah, it really has.
Tyler: Yeah, I'm really a one thing. I totally agree with you. I completely agree with you. And one thing that I think I already mentioned it. But just in case I didn't turn now, only thought it. It used to be that you could just ignore chaos. Resist for so many of your bills until syndicate came along, you could ignore your your chaos resistant. You could just do your three elements. Now I feel with all the different roles they've done, they've added a lot of chaos, damage to some big, big boss battles and a lot of the metamorphose stuff. Specifically, it's almost like you can't get away. You It's always gonna have some sort of chaos. A we it's really made it so that you need all four. Captain. Oh, I used to just do the three. I'm sure many died. Many did. But I'm really finding the value and crafting some of those chaos rules just to at least get to the baseline of 0%. I think I saw this in a lot of chaos. Damage?
Justin: Yeah, I have to. I don't know if I found it as, um it's definitely beneficial. I'm not at minus 60. I think I'm at 35 or something. So it's not. It's not zero, but it's definitely better than nothing but it to me. He was not as bad as the I don't know Lightning. I couldn't believe the difference from 48 to 75 obviously that's always gonna be a huge difference. It's just never been a huge difference. A tear to Oh, yeah, you know what I mean? Like, I've always felt like Okay, I'm getting into, like, six. You're seven. You know, it's time to actually start really paying attention to everything. Yeah, this is like it's cool. It's really cool, because that one of the complaints I've had in the past is just end Game now had become stale, so I think it's a
Tyler: sexy independence all the way through. Maybe we won't think that in the fifth league of this end game, but
Justin: yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know enough about how the endgame all works yet, so it's kind of hard to say, but I am enjoying The metamorphose stuff is sometimes enjoyable. I've started to get some of the boss ones the ones that you actually collect. I haven't Not enough to actually do much with them. Ah, some of them have been reasonable. But even still, some of them are very, very difficult, Which is good. I don't mind. I don't mind not being able to kill a boss like a meta morph boss. Yet if I made it too strong and I'm like, Oh, God, this I just can't do it. Yeah, it sucks for me. I gotta learn to the next one.
Tyler: I've heard a lot of people. Well, whether it's within my guides air on Reddit complained that it's too difficult And then there's some people of the mentality that a lake just turn. Just turn the difficulty down like you're not forced to do the hardest one. And if your build can't do it, don't do it on. And then there's other people that think. I've heard the complaints that they should be able to do the hardest ones, and I don't like that I like the you know, it should be terrifying to do the hardest. Have you got all the body parts in the map? It should be terrifying. You should expect it to be a long time or you should I don't know. You know what I mean? Totally beat Easy for you shouldn't expect to do it with mediocre everything.
Justin: Yeah, I totally agree to me. It goes back to bay two days and like the early release days where there were some builds just could not do it, you just couldn't. And it wasn't It wasn't something broken in the game. It was something you did just didn't work. And you either adjusted or I mean, then it was start over. But yeah, yeah, I don't know. I've been I've been relatively pleased so far. I mean, I'm pretty early into the tears of the palace, but I found the difficulty to be decent. Uh, I mean, for me, for path of Exile, it's rewarding enough. Antemortem is adding the ability to get a lot of cool stuff that you couldn't get in other ways before you had to do specific league things to do it. So that's kind of fun.
Tyler: Yeah, it is. It's It's really cool. I think they've done a very good job. I know that there's glitches for people that are a lot farther into endgame. Unlike us, we're still in our white maps. But, um, I think in terms of stability, this was really, really good. I just, um I forget where this isn't a list. So cut me off. If I'm too far ahead of myself. I just really wish that what they did was introduce this next league. But I love the new endgame, and I'm really excited about it. But to introduce a brand new endgame and then go on a skeleton crew for Christmas, it doesn't make sense to me.
Justin: Yeah, but I think that's also for you. Somewhat related to other things. Not just specifically the league. The big leagues
Tyler: challenges, but they're they're running into they. Some of the stuff that I'm watching this one is a little bit farther down, but the guy that I watch relax r o l a X on mixer. His issues are very different than mine. I'm waiting for cause I play standard. I'm waiting for the map tab to get fixed, but that's not gonna happen till after Christmas, because they have one person that works on the map tapping there on vacation. So but roll axes. His issue is he's getting to engage with every single character that he makes. He's already on. His fourth character is crushing Endgame, and his issue is that there's a glitch with Final Boss. And I've seen lots of stuff in the patch notes about the final Boss is and how they're glitches and they're not dropping this or they're not. You know, this, that another thing and he can't
Justin: What's the alternative? I mean, you're suggesting that they push of a game changing league to a ah, further release so that they don't have it come over Christmas,
Tyler: right? I don't think any time you're gonna have a skeleton crew for two weeks, even if it's just one week, I really especially because it's going to be what, a three week point of the league right? Like this came out December 9. I think it was to have Christmas two and 1/2 3 weeks later, after you've completely revamped the entire endgame, I don't know.
Justin: Yeah, I don't know what to me. It's hard, though, because if they come up with a league that barely has any changes just because they're gonna have a skeleton crew. That league ends up being garbage. It's people. People may not play it. I mean, the thing is, if they go, if they go skeleton crew, Firth, whatever it is, 2 to 3. I don't even think it's three weeks, two weeks, three weeks. Someone like that. Two weeks to, um, that's better to me than three months of, Ah garbage league.
Tyler: Well, but imagine Metamor for the old Atlas. To me,
Justin: that's fantastic. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
Tyler: how everything Woods with how it all works, right, Like, it's been a long time since I've worked in the video game industry, and when I did, I wasn't at the top of the food chain making the decisions with all the decisions that the higher ups need to make. But it's just for me. It's every Christmas. I really don't get to play until the new year, when the league comes out and then it's gonna be the Christmas League, as I call it as a standard player. I don't get to play until January, so it kind of sucks. But
Justin: I don't see the alternative to that, though, and I think that I mean, I I can see where you're talking about in the fact that it's ah ah, huge game changing league and it comes out right before they. I don't know how often else in the year they even have skeleton crews. I imagine it's not very often, but ah, I would rather I would rather it affect the I mean, people may really, really be angry about the fact that I say it or that they may disagree with me in some sense. But it's affecting the people who have a lot of time and have power rushed to end game, which is awesome, like That's cool that they have done it. But I imagine that that portion of the player base is small compared to the players who are still working their way up through be Atlas and you're never going to make it perfect. Old big release almost ever has been Yeah, so there's going to be something that goes wrong to me. At least there's nothing game breaking and even the ones I've read night for league players and but I don't care about standard, but I mean, even on center,
Tyler: You're in the minority there.
Justin: No, I'm definitely. I definitely know for sure. Not on that. Most of them. I might be in the minority that when I'm definitely not. But even your issue, it's still very specific, too. A mechanic not working. Not all mechanics not working now. Granted, it's a pretty I read that they, like, literally turned it off, right, Like they just turned off the convert button. I thought I heard. Yeah, yeah,
Tyler: yeah, they did. It turned off, and it's true. I could play it. I could spend 15 bucks and get a new map stash tab.
Justin: No, I don't think you should. And I agree, like frustration that comes from that. But I don't think you'll ever have a league release that's going to be perfect off the bat, even 2 to 3 weeks, and hopefully it's as close as possible. But I read the complaints. I've read the comments that they've made. They're not. It works. There's just some stuff. That's your rape. It's kind of frustrating for such is, but it's not broken. I would rather like I said, I would rather have maybe 2 to 3 weeks of Okay, this is stupid. I'm frustrated. I'm annoyed, and then they're coming back, and they're gonna fix it. Uh, and they still have staff working. It's not like a game. Breaking bugs is just going to go on because they want to enjoy Christmas. God forbid. But yet, uh, if if that means that, okay, I gotta wait 2 to 3 weeks for them to fix something that is really just irritating me versus having to deal with three months of a league that I found boring because they wanted to make sure not to get people upset. I feel like that's maybe worse. Yeah, I don't know, but I mean, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't mind it, but I'm not there, so it's not affecting me.
Tyler: Yeah, way need to. I need to be more familiar with the endgame bugs that are happening to. But you've almost converted me almost. You may have let them have Christmas tie. Just let them have Christmas am. I am. But have Christmas with the old atlas, all right? Just bored again. So remember last episode we're talking about holy and showing up. I was all mystified. I thought it was fantastic that when you click on a crafting recipe, yeah, she just appears Yes, you know, she'd smoke bombs like a ninja turtle on, comes in and says her little piece and then goes away. I thought that was a really cool little thing. Um, so I hear you've been a little disappointed with the frequency of it. Now,
Justin: is it just our last time that we talked about with that when this you first brought this up? Yeah, I think it was just last episode. Yes, So it was. It must have been, cause that's when I finally got some free time to play and every freaking recipe I would zoom in my damn camera, click it. And there were times I think I was even streaming at one point so you could watch, and I clicked it, and I I message you and said you're you're freaking liar. She didn't jump up and you said, Oh, it's because you were standing right in front of it. I was like, Oh, okay, maybe it was
Tyler: always your fault.
Justin: Now I will just say I was about to go into it. I was in a trial when I got that one. So I went to the next one and it actually kind of irritated me a little bit because the next one I found was within just the regular story of the game. So I moved off to the side, clicked it, and sure enough, she popped up. I was like, God damn it, Tyler was right. Yeah, And she did, like, smokes in. And she says, Ah, I think she said the same line every time. Something about this is very interesting. And then she smoke clouds out. But it's only the more I did it, the more I was watching it. She she doesn't so nothing related to a lab. Nothing related to trials will ever show up. Nothing related to delve will ever show up. And once you beat the game, that's it. She's done. She doesn't show up in maps. Why
Tyler: do itjust campaign? I was really surprised. That's dumb. Yeah, why
Justin: I don't understand is that there's no Maybe somebody knows some weirdo lower to the game that somehow stopped actin that she couldn't help you with the recipes
Tyler: anymore. Well, maybe maybe they'll add it more if it's a new thing that we just have If it's new right and we didn't miss it before, maybe it's just they're adding it in and then they'll be able to add it to more. As, uh, maybe you just would have added, you know, to my previous complaint about having a new atlas. Maybe it just would've added more possible glitches when they were going on. No, no. How
Justin: hard could it have been? Toe added toe labs to delve, too. Maps everywhere.
Tyler: Every little thing you add. Construe something else
Justin: does nothing. She's she literally does. She is. She's not even an actual like thing that interferes with you. You can walk right through her. She does nothing. It's like she's not there. It's dumb. Just put it into all of them. I irritated me more so than anything that you told me about it, because I remember it took me. It took me so much longer to get through some of the acts because I would run into them and be like, Okay, maybe, Maybe if I stand a little bit over here. No. Yeah. She doesn't show up in those places through.
Tyler: Well, I hate you more than you hate me for Helena, Because you're playing solo Cell found this time for the first time in forever. And you couldn't give me the ridiculous Val City way point.
Justin: You know it was you this times you I found it almost right away.
Tyler: Oh, I don't even want to hear your solo. No. Found luck with a locked. Why did he lock? Hold your hand and show, You
Justin: know, but But something pointed the way I could tell. I could sense it. It was those fireflies they were leading.
Tyler: Yeah, fireflies that don't stack in your inventory. Um,
Justin: crabby old man. Yeah, I found I found that when I found thanks for not being
Tyler: able to give you $2 city waypoint. I appreciate it.
Justin: You have to work for things. That's how you enjoy the game
Tyler: Can. The Bell City is really enjoyable.
Justin: It's annoying because it not only is it probably one of the most frustrating spots to find it for, but then also, the next level that you load into is the freaking longest set of map or area. I think in the whole game that hope Rose is to get down to the spider. Oh, my God, It's exhausting. it's worse than Vow. Pyramid Way Worse, I don't know why. Maybe it's God's going down instead of up.
Tyler: Well, it's twice as long. Yeah, well, Pyramid, I think it's three levels and then you're actually at the top. Whereas when you're going down to the spider, it's three levels and then you're just another second section, and then it's another three levels. If I'm correct, it's I don't mind that part, though. That one's relatively easy to navigate. And there's not a lot of wrong turns, not a fan. I don't mind the maps that get me, Um, but that's just because of my concussion. Symptoms and stuff are the maps with trees and the trees that go in front of the screen. Um, what would be one deal? I don't know how
Justin: Jungle is brutal. I actually noticed that just today I was thinking to myself, Okay, we're talking about that whole technology of the stuff is cutting. You go through jungle. The trees do not fade it all, they say, right up in your face through the hole. I was like, Why would they not have these ones fade out? I don't know if it's just because it's older, and maybe it's more difficult for them to do that. But it is really weird to me that jungle, the jungle map Jungle Valley. The maps do not fade or sorry, the trees don't fade. Yeah, it's kind of weird.
Tyler: Yeah. And you, old atlas. I would never, ever shaped the ones that had those tall trees that will go in front of the camera. It was just too too nauseated for me.
Justin: Would it change it if if it had that effect, where they they weren't really? I mean, that kind of see through,
Tyler: um Well, there's that. What was it? Is it Lava lake map that had, um I don't know if they're the same. A CZ they used to be. But the lab a lake when they had caught Eva was a tear 14 or 15 last week. That had some trees. Cem, Cem. Nice apple trees. Er
Justin: over there. Just little ones right
Tyler: there. Well, they were. They were big, They didn't go all the way up across the screen, and it would have that technology where it would fade so you could see yourself on the other side. That still gets me a little bit, but it's nowhere near as bad as something that's crossing my eyes really fast. Like car driving through and, you know, shaded woods Interest. Bang, bang, bang. Just shade hitting. You left, right and center.
Justin: Yeah, it's funny. I just I literally just today was doing Jungle Valley and thought of that. Come on. And then I did. I think it was right after we finished Episode four. Maybe that next day I finally got to play, and I'm I'm running through an area going
Tyler: the hell are
Justin: these things popping up? My screen is unlike running through killing stuff. And yeah, that's the monster parts picking up. Yeah. Is that I'm sure people listening to it Or like what a whiny baby like it's already
Tyler: faced. I'm sorry. Fix happen hour later, but what do you think of it?
Justin: Uh, I I do like it. Obviously, I actually this is just me being a turd. I'm not a big fan of the way it shows up, because it and maybe we'll just take a bit of getting used to playing more to get used to it. But it throws me off for some reason, a little bit And maybe it's just cause I'm not playing a very fast build. I'm not moving super quickly through the map or through the zone. There's something about the way it pops up that just throws me off from looking at what the drops are to the interest at part going up. But I I love it. I absolutely love the fact that I don't care what it does. I don't care what flash my whole screen. The fact that it I don't have to be. Oh, I don't have to go and pick them all up is so much better. Yeah. You like it?
Tyler: I like the animation. Yeah, I like it. I don't get distracted with it. I don't get it mixed up with other possible drops. I really like it. And the thing that I I don't know if this was how it used to be, because you and I have progressed slowly, but whether it was added new or not, I love that when you're about to go through a portal or a door. Um, what's his name shows up.
Justin: Oh, yeah, kind of warns you.
Tyler: Yeah, but I like that, you know, because I'm going to go through and I'm gonna clear the map. How I normally cleared I don't go out of my way for any lead content if it's going to be, You know, if if there's two monsters left and I'm missing one body part, I'm not going for it. So it's nice when I'm vote to go into this or I'm gonna portal. Oh, that he shows up. He's like a Okay, let's use up your pieces. Yeah, I like it. I think it was a very it was a gamer's choice, You know what I mean? Whoever came up with that idea, it was it was the gamer in them that came up with that. That was really convenient.
Justin: Yeah, I think it is. Good, cause I would probably forget Maur often than not if if he didn't do that, and I'd probably load the next map and be like, damn it, I forgot to use up those parts. So that's at least good. Now, did you Did you get Ah, Did you get your Christmas gift from G, which I feel like you should take away from you? I feel like people who are complaining about them going to skeleton staff don't deserve
Tyler: a gift. I don't maybe. Oh, everything. Oh, they deserve a wicked Christmas. Well, old Atlas.
Justin: So what you're saying, though, is the people that stay working what I'm saying? That's
Tyler: qu'est er of words. No. Um, no, no, no, no. Not at all. Not at all.
Justin: Did you get you get from them there? It was one of the boxes. Right.
Tyler: Okay, well, you got I do not. What? But it was white.
Justin: So I on on that same topic, because I I did get, um, a gift. I got the white, uh, missed, I think for the for your base, The white It's like, OK, but I also I decided I was going to do the grand sanctum pack because I really like the wings. And I like the outfit. That was the thing is the $60 pack. I'm still I'm still boycotting. Currently, there their core packs. I just Maybe I might really I might buy this the snake one just because it's, you know, it's it is a little bit unique, but I just can't I I was like, Well, I don't see myself going this time for there's no shirt. So why spend 240 bucks? But ah, it So I bought the couple of the boxes. I have 55 versions of God. What is it? The blink. Ah, it's one of the skills that they went there. No, no, no, it's Ah, it's not whirling blades. It's something Blade. What is it called, anyway? It's I have five of them. I hate that. That's the one thing that drives me crazy. You know, all I want is a damn portal. I think I've opened maybe 20 boxes, so not like a ton, but 25% of them have been the same thing killing me, G.
Tyler: But I got to say, normally I'm I'm portals, is what it kind of revolves around for me. You know, you need to have a nice portal that matches the set. And because it's so much bigger and brighter, that color stands out to the others that you can get away with footprints that don't aren't the exact shade of white or green that you're looking for to match your set. You know what I mean? Because it's much farther away and it phase and it's busy, but portal portals really stand out there there the whole time. You stand next time for a while. The grand sanctum support pack is so nice that I'm gonna get it, even though I don't like at a normal that could match it.
Justin: Well, give me a portal that you have because there's portals that matters
Tyler: and that really, I don't think so. Well, sometimes it's also it's not just the color. It's also the action that the portal does, or the colors and how it goes. You know what I mean? And
Justin: wings air really cool with it, though.
Tyler: I love it. I love it. I'm, uh I'll be getting it as soon as we're done.
Justin: I'm actually using some of the white armor that I got from the boxes with the grand sanctum, but, uh, yeah, I I don't remember. I do have two of the white floaty mists. Uh, you can put in your base. I also I don't think you've seen it yet, but I have I did get that new base, but
Tyler: so did you.
Justin: Yeah, the completely I did it mostly because I knew it would drive Ethan crazy. And so I loaded it up. I put it in there with absolutely nothing. And I just spaced the characters out, and I When he walked by my office, I was like, Look, check out how awesome this is. And he was upset right away. And I told him it's going to stay like that All league. I'm not gonna put anything down. If anything, I might put like a fire pit for some random reason. Like one fire pit.
Tyler: Well, it's cold in the stars. Yep. It's gonna look awesome. So you can sit cross legged
Justin: and put all of my pets
Tyler: so they can float around. And don't forget you're missed.
Justin: Oh, yeah. I should put down that white mist. I'm gonna put it in a corner just so that when people visit, I'd be like, Hey, did you see there's two
Tyler: also you. I'll even give you a discount. But you've got to go in the mist.
Justin: There's two of them up there, but I love that they give those little boxes. I think it's fun.
Tyler: Yeah, they're very generous company. And every time I realized that we've complained about something in the game that I don't like or you don't like, I feel really bad. I don't
Justin: feel bad, and I think it's good. It's I don't think we're being fixed. It's no, I get it. I
Tyler: get. It's constructive. But I still when I really when I remember that it's free and everything's free. I feel like a prick.
Justin: Well, I mean, you're a prick, but it doesn't mean that they're doing
Tyler: anything wrong. I'm not the one that went solo. Cell found. You're a prick.
Justin: Yeah, but you also said that they don't deserve a merry Christmas.
Tyler: No, I said enjoy your merry Christmas with the old Atlas.
Justin: I think I think it is
Tyler: you not being able to give me the Val City waypoint is way worse than anything anyone else has ever done to
Justin: me. I think that merry Christmas box makes up for the bugs. So two people complaining about the bugs. At least you got a box,
Tyler: right? And he didn't play peewee a Christmas. You're not a real fan. Anyway. It's true, right, Britta?
Justin: At least to log in. Get your freaking box.
Tyler: You did have to be in game to get it. Well, you couldn't click on it on the website.
Justin: Yeah, but you didn't have to be on that day.
Tyler: I remember.
Justin: I got mine today, I think because I didn't go on you said
Tyler: you were on yesterday. Yeah. Yesterday I was able to finish my just for the box. No, no, I was able to finish an actor to yesterday. I think it was yesterday that I got two maps. Who? I think the boxes logging in until January 6.
Justin: Oh, yes. I didn't think it was just the single day that that would be a jerk. Move. Geez, like,
Tyler: Well, we're a little Bell City. Wait points a jerk. Move
Justin: How? We're at home enjoying our Christmas. If you don't log into the video game on that day, you don't get it. Uh,
Tyler: enjoy your family, Bond.
Justin: Yeah, I don't think anything we've said is mean spirited. And yeah, I think we're fair. We're now We're nice people in general, right?
Tyler: Well, one of us, one of me. That's true. Yeah.
Justin: So that's why did I look through the post that they made because they had put up a post about like, uh, some of the known issues that they were going to deal with, But I did
Tyler: nothing in there really,
Justin: like, stood out to me like Oh my gosh, I can't play this. I will be honest. There is one that says the convert maps button in the map stash tab has been temporarily disabled as there were problems converting to the new layout. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I laughed so hard when I read that. Why fly? What? You've just popped into my head instantly. I don't know why you just made me laugh. I was like, Oh, but they're listening. Listen,
Tyler: every time the game updates whether waiting for you and I hate how long steam takes to frickin update a 30 makeup date. But anyway, when I'm I mean, it gives me 10 hours. Thank you, Steam for being able to check the patch notes every time I'm just control f that I see my console game updating him like, Oh, well, maybe because they group their patches together for Consul cause they don't promote us frequently. I don't know how it works in the console back end, but that's really do. And so then I'm like, Oh, sweet, Maybe maybe a new one came out for PC today, and then I control control F on the patch notes for Xbox. You mad? I'm excited. It'll happen
Justin: yet to me. When I read through this stuff there was, I think only one that maybe kind of popped out to me is like, Okay, this is actually something they need to work on. And it was releasing legion generals during legion encounters can cause a client crash. I think something that can actually crashed the game, that that's a bit of a problem. And that mostly just cause we both dealt with leagues where I mean you, especially where that was an issue. So I can I can, you know, I can see that a little bit. But when I look at their posts that they put out and this is days before Christmas, I think this one popped up. I don't rember who posted it. Uh, it still impresses me like they're legitimately looking into stuff. They know stuff there, and they're gonna fix it. And the stuff that I was reading was not game breaking. Besides, the fact that the client could crash that that to me is a bit of a big deal. I had an issue with one of the valves side areas. Who cares? It was not a big deal. It took into when I when I exited, it didn't bring me back. So where I had entered into the map, I actually thought it was cool. Yeah, I don't know. The rest of the stuff was
Tyler: even something like Metamor. Fosse's not being able to be frozen were used to Boss is not be able to be frozen. It was just chill, right, Right. So I, you know, even with something that was frozen dependent, you're getting a very good chill on them, especially because it was buff. So that's not even a big problem either.
Justin: Nothing stood out to me where on and again, that could have been because there have been stuff fixed that were more game breaking that I just never encounter because I hadn't gotten up there. But I didn't really stand out to Mia's thes terrible things.
Tyler: Yeah, I can see the There's a There's an issue where the awakened cast on Krit um, is creating cooled elms where when there shouldn't be any, I could see that being a big issue for builds. But at the same time, you don't need the awakened jewel to have a successful build. So
Justin: you're already having a problem with an awakened version of a skill? Boo hoo. I don't feel bad for you. Even a tiny bit. A tiny bit. Put the cast on. Created
Tyler: for not to drop.
Justin: Sure, I'm thrilled. If it didn't work on the lake first week of a league lunch, I wouldn't be like you wrecked
Tyler: my bill. No, you haven't. Go put the normal
Justin: one in the one you used all the way up until you found that one. Yeah. Yeah, I saw. I don't
Tyler: know if anybody's actually complaining about it, but we did see it on the bug report,
Justin: right? I imagine it's probably because somebody complained about it. Ah, but yeah, I just It made me laugh. Yeah, there were. There were some really fun, uh, things that I saw in in red It actually in the last couple of days that made me laugh or not laugh with smile there. Only because I get so jealous I still haven't seen exults this league. Nothing cool has dropped yet besides garbage unique ce which is still fine. But the critic I that posted he did ah ah Contains a valuable gym. He got to You got enlightened and empower both level force. They dropped as a light on level four. Empower little for. And there was other stuff too, but oh, my gosh. I was like, What? The hacky. There was a screenshot of it, and I'm thinking in solar cell found I would leave in a heartbeat. I like buying stuff through a felon. I'm getting stuff, but it was crazy. And then, uh Okay, So there. Did you see? I don't know how often you check credit, but there was a helmet that somebody posted that was crafted. This was It was it was with that the ah, the awaken, her orb. So where you combined the two things? Now I feel like this is a lot because this helmet just Oh, man. Perfect. It's a meat. Well, yeah, it used to be. I mean, it sucks now because zombies are terrible, but Okay, I'm just gonna read through it.
Tyler: I don't think they're terrible, By
Justin: the way, we're talking about a bone helmet. Yeah, Minion steal. 20%. Increased is the, uh,
Tyler: got Ah. So a max. Implicit
Justin: max. Implicit of minions deal. 20% crease damage plus three toe level of soccer Did Minion Gems socket of gems. Air supported by level 18 million. Life soccer. The gems air supported by level, 18 million damage. Now, if it stopped here, you've already done really, really well. Like, really, really? Well, like last season. Last league. Oh, my God. You could have bought 20 years. It everybody wanted every freaking minion thing. Now, yeah, we're gonna continue on. Minions have 19% increase Max life minions deal 20%. Increased damage, 5% reduced manner. Reserved glow. And he had the intent on it for flesh offering. Granting an additional 21% increase. Attack speed for flesh. And then he had craft. That was insane. Lightning resist.
Tyler: But nuts it is. Of course, it's incubating something just to make it even more exciting.
Justin: I it just seemed fake when I read it. Yeah, I was like, Oh, my God. I would like last league. I would have liked just two of those options to force their six good things on there.
Tyler: I can't tell you how much currency I've spent on console trying to get a plus three to the level of socket 1,000,000 Jim's. I still don't have it. I am trying everything. The craft. I'm going crazy. I make I I can't do it. I can't do it. And then here's this year's this.
Justin: Yeah, it's just I don't know what he was crafting. Four. I did Rhea little bit about the threat, and the guy who actually crafted it kind of came on. It was like, I don't know what to do with this, which made me laugh because I would be the same way. I would have been really upset that I didn't have it last league because, I mean, it's awaken. Or that's new, though, isn't it? I mean, you couldn't have really done it, but still,
Tyler: no, but it doesn't have to. I mean, I know you're against how zombies were were cut down a bit, this league, but that's not so. I'll be specific by any means. No, I know. But so respect all Dominion buffs from last later still applicable. That thing's crazy but still insane. It's still absurd. That's something like, even if you had a mirror, you would just put that somehow on display just so that you could look at it sometimes,
Justin: yeah, It's crazy. I couldn't believe it when I was reading through it. So cool. Yeah, I wanted to just give a quick show boat. We've gotten some pretty cool feedback from people that have been listening and people that have given us some advice and some constructive criticism. You know, the lovely kind, But I want to just give a shout out to all those people and, ah, we don't have a list of everyone, but we're going to start making a list because it's it's a really big deal to us. It really helps us figure out what we should do better for the next ones. And let us know that people enjoy the time that we share together, you know?
Tyler: Yeah. No, it's It's been really cool. It's been a lot of fun. We're only five episodes in, but every episode has been listened to more than the previous one, and it's ah, it's exciting to see how it goes, but it's ah oh, we just want to say a big thank you to people that do find this enjoyable, and we definitely would value your feedback for sure.
