I LOVE this build in #pathofexile so much that I abandoned my leaguestarter (for now) for it XD Holy Sweep Inquisitor with Brain Rattler Showcase (build at a later date) youtu.be/FnksEi4GIFM

AAAAAND the guide is done! Holy Sweep Inquisitor - Brain Rattler version youtu.be/eGr0UXfQ8lU That took a bit of fiddling to do and fix everything, write it all up etc. Hope you enjoy this one #pathofexile peeps! Budget was <25D (even less with today's prices etc)

Finished black clover anime. Fillercentral, skipped solid 100 episodes (15sec increments) for it to not even be finished after 170!!! And then i found out even manga wasn't finished. Colossal waste of time. 2/10 at best. Holy.

@NVIDIAGeForce What is this freaking garbage? XD

@nizmaat Worst part is... regrets havent moved their place, but scours got up a place 🤣 Ive clicked 50-100 regrets so far... you can say i have no more regrets in stash tab due to muscle memory.

how it used to look like vs how it looks now aside from clicking regrets all the time, i reached for a vaal orb where the veil orbs is once too

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol My god dude, touch some grass XD

@HeavyHeals @Lagerale @lolcohol Last sentence is a big misconception. MAYBE they are, but casuals don't know why they keep playing the game, people who try to understand gaming do. If u don't have time to reach 100 then DON'T. If u dont want to boost ur defences to do it by urself then DON'T.

REMOVE EXP LOSS ON DEATH #pathofexile (forever, but at least while servers are under DDOS)

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol Because it is a considerable time investment to get to 100. I would make it longer from 95-100 by 3-5x, but then it would be an actual accomplishment. Now it makes more sense to farm currency, get boosted and skip the tedious part. Casuals are the ones keeping games afloat tho.

@HeavyHeals @Lagerale @lolcohol Why u think people like this will stay in the game with 100th on char? It's not about gatekeeping. It's about having things to chase and not giving them away for free. Overcasualisation killed CoD and diablo already can't vouch for that in my favourite game.

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol Because i want more people to not quit the game after they hit the imaginary wall? Also, why are you so insistent on gatekeeping a game? XD

@HeavyHeals @Lagerale @lolcohol Good job, I am so proud. Why u want to flip the entire game around so you can hit this 100th lvl again? Why u need this 100th anyway? You need it, earn it (one way or the other). Stop forcing simplifying the games that are supposed to be not very simple or go play simple games

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol You can actually get to level 100 with scoured maps.. It will take 84 years, but you can do it XD I got to 97-100 this way in ultimatum league where i farmed 1000 scoured (and vaal'd) maps with 10 ultimatum waves to proc trialmaster (spoiler, 4 times in 1000).

@HeavyHeals @Lagerale @lolcohol U need knowledge to build character that will hit 100 (by itself ofc not by watching some1 make content of the game for u for divines) its a huge factor of skill. What to avoid on maps and actually avoid some stuff u cannot rule out by map mods.

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol

@Lagerale @HeavyHeals @lolcohol resistances, regens, block, eva/armor, avoidances, dmg conversions, immunes, map mods, life/es, suppress how it affects economy - all of the above is worth 1c, go check poe ninja how many items in general are going to trash only because u guys want to force everyone to 100th lvl

@Silverzjee @Lagerale @lolcohol What skillgap are you talking about though? When was it actually hard to hit 100 in PoE? XD Keep in mind, lots of time and it being annoying/tedious/boring doesn't make it hard or "skill".

@Lagerale @lolcohol @HeavyHeals Changes u are talking about are minor changes. Removing XP penalty is a HUGE BIG PILE OF TONS OF FUCKING CHANGES. Making game slightly more casual friendly vs removing huge ass of skillgap. I am pretty sure u dont understand consequences of that change

@HairyLoco Completely understandable. Glad to finally see a reasonable opinion!

@HeavyHeals That's where the discussion unfortunately becomes subjective, because where you find tedium, I find tension and satisfaction. Like, I get you, but I don't feel about it the way you do. I love the level 100 grind. Removing exp penalty will just reverse our standpoints

@HairyLoco I understand your point. However, after playing the game for ~20k hours, it is more tedious to level from 97-100 than difficult.

@HeavyHeals Hard disagree, though I feel your frustrations. I really enjoy the feeling of building up my character to stretch beyond level 95. The way I see it, hitting level 100 is a privilege, not a right. I love that about PoE.

@Silverzjee @lolcohol Extremely. I've played this game for 20k+ hours so far and having no exp penalty feels so freeing. For reference, here's the footage from last season when i got to 100, with timestamps. Enjoy the 16 hours of abyss horror & agony: youtube.com/live/PmMTAZ3z8…

@HeavyHeals @lolcohol Is it satisfying tho?

@Silverzjee @lolcohol @Lagerale Yet every single time, what hardcore players are doing is the same defensives, rolling maps with no dangerous modifiers, and just hitting their heads on the quantity of time played instead of doing something else. I find the game fun when I play 8 mods, scarabs, rush, etc.

@HeavyHeals @lolcohol @Lagerale It’s meant to be that way. Not every game has to be pleasant or easy and change u proposed is making the game easy af. Somehow many people on hc make it to 100th level every single league, sometimes even in less than 2 full days since start (correct me if im wrong there).

@Silverzjee @lolcohol I fixed the problem, here it is: youtu.be/aYLMxr38rcQ Just boost to 100 in 5ways, earn currency while doing so and turn a bit of profit :)

@HeavyHeals @lolcohol Nah, its not about enjoyment. Its about making a DECISIONS. Any good game just makes you DECIDE if u do actions or not. By this change they sinologiem one of them You say you love fixing problems, by this you just fix it by removing the problem from the game 100 to 0 its bad af

@lolcohol @angus_davidson This is unfortunately the sad reality with most people. When they get to a wall, instead of learning how to surpass it, they will just stop. I agree with you when it comes to learning and overcoming obstacles, but I do not agree that losing exp is the way to go with it.

@angus_davidson @HeavyHeals Nah it should make you say "wait what am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix this?" and that's when you start learning and engaging with the game and hopefully having more fun

@lolcohol Ofc I will! However, I'll get boosted to level 100 first to avoid any frustration about exp loss :D

@HeavyHeals It sucks but because the consequences were heavy, you'll hopefully learn from it and become a better player by giving it a bit more space next time :D

@lolcohol @Lagerale @Silverzjee Lack of content is why people quit D4 way sooner than PoE though. D4 has a fraction of content that PoE has, however, a lot of PoE players just quit leveling at 92-96, because it becomes tedious. Tedious =/= difficulty (or challenge for that matter)

@Lagerale @Silverzjee @HeavyHeals Im glad GGG cares more about making a good game than player count. Most people quit D4 seasons way faster than PoE leagues so not sure why you think challenge & diffuculty is bad for longevity :)

@HeavyHeals Get good

@Silverzjee @lolcohol That basically confirms that I was right, that players enjoy content more when there are no more arbitrary penalties added. Thank you!

@HeavyHeals @lolcohol They actually explained it very well. They wanted to boost number of killed bosses as they spotted that people tend to omit them when on higher % of lvl exp than 0. They also removed gaining exp from bosses to make that clear (or there is a big penalty so it gives close to 0).
