[SPEAKER_01]: It's like the ultimate rep digit.

01:41.627 --> 01:42.668

[SPEAKER_00]: If you talk to me on Patreon, it's my favorite spot to talk.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why, but I just feel special.

02:58.921 --> 03:03.162
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought when I first saw it, it looks like Christina.

03:03.762 --> 03:06.203
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, my first thought was like, what is she doing?

03:09.624 --> 03:11.785
[SPEAKER_01]: She's trying to get into this secret sauce.

03:11.805 --> 03:12.685
[SPEAKER_00]: She was trying to find out.

03:12.705 --> 03:13.266
[SPEAKER_00]: She's my mom.

03:13.286 --> 03:18.288
[SPEAKER_00]: She's not Christina's name or something trying to sneak her way in, but yeah, maybe I'll have a first.

03:19.448 --> 03:20.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, thanks everybody.

03:20.829 --> 03:24.030
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, congratulations, Christian, on your marriage to Justin.

03:24.050 --> 03:25.190
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been lovely.

03:27.391 --> 03:28.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I see you're no happy candidate.

03:28.972 --> 03:29.352
[SPEAKER_00]: It's right.

03:29.432 --> 03:32.393
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most, it's the world celebration.

03:36.680 --> 03:42.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody is so excited for Canada Day worldwide July one.

03:42.324 --> 03:43.165
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

03:43.745 --> 03:46.347
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, it's the start of summer.

03:46.507 --> 03:47.288
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the first day.

03:47.508 --> 03:48.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's not the first day for high school.

03:48.929 --> 03:53.092
[SPEAKER_00]: My son, my second oldest has been out of school for way too long.

03:54.392 --> 03:55.172
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

03:55.473 --> 03:56.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, get out of here.

03:56.793 --> 04:00.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it's the first full first full day of summer for kids.

04:00.994 --> 04:03.835
[SPEAKER_00]: So hip hip and all the way.

04:05.115 --> 04:05.515
[SPEAKER_00]: How's your week?

04:05.535 --> 04:06.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was good.

04:06.776 --> 04:13.818
[SPEAKER_01]: I was going to joke that Canada Day is the free agency day in hockey like that.

04:15.118 --> 04:15.458
[SPEAKER_01]: players.

04:15.638 --> 04:23.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what that's that's the thing that's arguably like because of course the majority of league is primarily American.

04:24.142 --> 04:26.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But Canadians don't care because that's all they care about.

04:27.023 --> 04:28.383
[SPEAKER_01]: It's literally right.

04:28.763 --> 04:34.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we changed our election date so that you know certain hockey games could be seen or not debate election.

04:34.566 --> 04:35.986
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the actual election day.

04:36.006 --> 04:40.508
[SPEAKER_01]: But so you know for candidates would have changed an election date.

04:40.568 --> 04:42.749
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way they would plan it around like

04:43.349 --> 04:52.756
[SPEAKER_01]: If it was like a layoffs or something for the Leafs to the Habs you wouldn't and it was a candy because a monitor, but not not not for the flavor to make it with this.

04:52.976 --> 04:53.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not the flames.

04:55.078 --> 04:57.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the can it didn't do it for us when we were good.

04:57.760 --> 05:02.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, but I just think it's funny that on Canada Day is like

05:02.763 --> 05:05.725
[SPEAKER_01]: free agency day in the NHL, and we love it.

05:06.125 --> 05:07.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we just can't wait.

05:07.445 --> 05:10.447
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's what we would want to spend our Canada day doing anyway.

05:10.467 --> 05:11.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even know.

05:11.307 --> 05:17.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Except for the, of course, but except for the mandatory parade to take kids to or whatever, but anyway.

05:18.806 --> 05:20.487
[SPEAKER_01]: how to good week my son right now.

05:20.747 --> 05:25.329
[SPEAKER_01]: So it like you said, it's the first day of summer for them and they're super excited.

05:26.670 --> 05:29.852
[SPEAKER_01]: Oliver has been really into path of exile.

05:29.892 --> 05:32.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Like his brain has just been going and going and going like it.

05:33.073 --> 05:36.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's he's just a kind of kid where he gets strategy.

05:36.095 --> 05:42.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a lot of kids are like you try and explain Pokemon to somebody that didn't grow up in Pokemon land and they're like what the heck?

05:42.338 --> 05:43.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is like a whole other language.

05:44.379 --> 05:45.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Like how do you know

05:45.960 --> 06:08.632
[SPEAKER_01]: ten billion different monsters and what they evolve into and what their stats are and what's good for prepping and then you throw in the card game into it not just the knowledge of that stuff that kids kids know their stuff right but anyway that's something that flows quite naturally with my son he loves that stuff and so with all these he makes his board games and like with all the crazy rules from every single game that he's ever known he just he just loves it that's just how it's brain clicks

06:09.272 --> 06:19.345
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I'm playing PoE throughout the day like when I'm throwing on like something for dinner where I'm just using the oven for and I just got to wait another forty five minutes or throw on PoE upstairs and he just loves it.

06:19.686 --> 06:20.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Just loves it.

06:20.226 --> 06:21.568
[SPEAKER_01]: He's asking like I don't get to play.

06:21.628 --> 06:23.891
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just asking questions like crazy, but he gets it.

06:24.031 --> 06:24.412
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets it.

06:24.452 --> 06:24.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.

06:26.374 --> 06:28.957
[SPEAKER_01]: I made him an account on Pewey planner.

06:29.698 --> 06:33.121
[SPEAKER_01]: So he doesn't accidentally mess up any of my stuff on my account.

06:33.601 --> 06:35.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's upstairs playing Pewey to on my account right now.

06:36.885 --> 06:42.590
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had to just before we started it like I had to just that's why when you showed up today, I said like just just just quick sex.

06:42.610 --> 06:45.273
[SPEAKER_01]: Why I went upstairs and I just reiterated the rules, right?

06:45.293 --> 06:48.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we can't like I can't share that game with them yet because it's early access.

06:48.697 --> 06:49.798
[SPEAKER_01]: It's paid access right now.

06:50.698 --> 06:54.781
[SPEAKER_01]: We're normally you'd be able to share Xbox games with someone on a home console so I had to go upstairs.

06:54.801 --> 06:58.044
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing on my account and I'm like okay, so remember you know just little rules.

06:58.084 --> 07:11.193
[SPEAKER_01]: We set so you're not like blowing on my currency or anything like that for anything that I'm trying to save for but yeah, and so he's making his pathfinder and he's going with the lightning arrow or whatever it is that you get right off the bat

07:12.894 --> 07:31.683
[SPEAKER_01]: it's hilarious but he's going up and he's all excited and so like we go out on date nights each parent takes a kid out whatever we have a scheduled date night so that we all get to spend time individually with each kid and it's a good system expensive system but it's worth while and Oliver and I just went out on Wednesday

07:32.884 --> 07:34.345
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just like non-stop P.O.E.

07:34.726 --> 07:35.066
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

07:35.306 --> 07:35.866
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.

07:35.947 --> 07:36.487
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew it was fine.

07:36.707 --> 07:39.149
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was, it's hilarious.

07:39.169 --> 07:42.031
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's upstairs doing that and then violent up back in the Hogwarts legacy.

07:42.091 --> 07:46.795
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, starting off summer by, yeah, I got to record my podcast.

07:46.855 --> 07:50.098
[SPEAKER_01]: So you guys go play video games till I'm done in a little bit after.

07:50.118 --> 07:53.661
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've lost the computer to your wife and the console to your son and

07:53.981 --> 07:56.002
[SPEAKER_00]: I was looking around, so yeah.

07:56.442 --> 07:57.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, can I play?

07:57.682 --> 08:02.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Has been so into broadcasting and or discord and all this stuff and I love it.

08:02.503 --> 08:06.884
[SPEAKER_01]: She's found, I mean, she has a lot of things that she really likes, but this is just like you served them all.

08:07.685 --> 08:16.767
[SPEAKER_01]: But as I came into the office today, as I was waiting for you, I couldn't play Path of Exile while I was waiting for you because all of us playing upstairs.

08:17.747 --> 08:24.411
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and yes, I have a PC and the next box account, but all of my characters are on just the one account.

08:24.812 --> 08:26.293
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't I can't share that yet.

08:26.353 --> 08:31.376
[SPEAKER_01]: So even though it's a separate beta key, I'm not playing on that account that earned it type of thing.

08:31.416 --> 08:32.116
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just refreshing.

08:32.136 --> 08:33.697
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to do that for five minutes while I wait.

08:34.258 --> 08:37.039
[SPEAKER_01]: So it like, you know, typical first world.

08:38.862 --> 08:43.984
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem here, I'm like staring at the screen, like, we're like, damn for five minutes.

08:44.004 --> 08:45.084
[SPEAKER_01]: Stay with him.

08:45.144 --> 08:46.264
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking around the office.

08:46.885 --> 08:48.185
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't recognize it at all.

08:48.265 --> 08:52.006
[SPEAKER_01]: She has taken this room over completely my wife.

08:52.847 --> 08:56.348
[SPEAKER_01]: And like everything is reorganized.

08:57.308 --> 08:59.109
[SPEAKER_01]: She used to joke that this is my room.

09:00.050 --> 09:01.471
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not familiar with this.

09:01.551 --> 09:06.094
[SPEAKER_01]: I was allowed to see funny enough this used to be my room.

09:06.134 --> 09:07.956
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was allowed to pick the paint color in a certain.

09:07.976 --> 09:12.919
[SPEAKER_01]: This is where there's the navy and the really wicked dark pink that I love.

09:14.140 --> 09:17.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'll bet you next time I walk in the paint.

09:17.082 --> 09:18.203
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be different.

09:20.104 --> 09:20.965
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks lovely though.

09:21.545 --> 09:22.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll pass it on.

09:23.058 --> 09:25.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, I still see it looks like a path of Excel thing in the background.

09:25.793 --> 09:26.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a path of Excel thing?

09:27.783 --> 09:29.683
[SPEAKER_00]: She let me keep the exalted orb.

09:29.723 --> 09:31.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what I thought I saw the exalted orb.

09:31.344 --> 09:32.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the exalted, what is this?

09:32.884 --> 09:38.765
[SPEAKER_01]: A stress ball, but this, wait, this is the one that's from when I went to exercise.

09:38.785 --> 09:40.145
[SPEAKER_01]: You got me from ExcelCon.

09:40.185 --> 09:42.226
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't buy anything when we were Seattle, right?

09:42.486 --> 09:42.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.

09:43.526 --> 09:44.666
[SPEAKER_01]: So, as awesome.

09:44.766 --> 09:45.466
[SPEAKER_01]: I absolutely love it.

09:45.546 --> 09:46.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm never getting rid of it.

09:46.586 --> 09:54.268
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm never actually going to use it like a stress ball, so it doesn't actually like wrinkled or something like that, because for me, this is the hardest to like stress ball ever.

09:54.708 --> 09:54.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:55.188 --> 09:55.368
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.

09:56.208 --> 09:57.568
[SPEAKER_01]: You can be very angry.

09:57.589 --> 09:59.329
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't see through that.

09:59.349 --> 10:02.210
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're only a little stress, then you start squeezing the stress ball.

10:02.830 --> 10:05.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to get more stress because you're like, you can't squeeze it.

10:05.891 --> 10:08.132
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't do any kit on stress with the stress ball.

10:08.452 --> 10:12.273
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, she was very kind and let one path of Excel things to cure.

10:12.313 --> 10:14.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, she said, I noticed the rest is moved.

10:14.834 --> 10:19.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, tacos, her Xbox controller with her gamer tags, Sims stuff.

10:21.846 --> 10:23.929
[SPEAKER_01]: At least the bookshelf still has my books.

10:24.330 --> 10:25.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah, yeah.

10:25.611 --> 10:28.295
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, because it looks, it makes it look smart, you know?

10:28.616 --> 10:30.138
[SPEAKER_00]: She does not think my books are smart.

10:30.698 --> 10:35.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but yeah, I can't see the titles of them, so it looks like you're well versed.

10:35.725 --> 10:38.669
[SPEAKER_01]: The children of here is my second favorite Tolkien story.

10:40.066 --> 10:41.868
[SPEAKER_01]: First one, first one is Baron and Lucy.

10:42.489 --> 10:48.555
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you remember that book that we read that you and Ian and I were starting sort of at the same time on this porn?

10:49.136 --> 10:53.040
[SPEAKER_00]: So I never got further than when I talked to you guys about it.

10:53.240 --> 10:57.144
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when I went to Montreal, I was going to take it with me to read and I cannot find it.

10:57.164 --> 10:58.566
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I'm not starting over.

10:58.786 --> 10:59.506
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where it is.

11:00.087 --> 11:02.430
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know where I was in the book.

11:03.030 --> 11:07.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, so I would have to guess, and that would not be very easy.

11:07.834 --> 11:10.776
[SPEAKER_00]: It's some room I was, but I can give you the clothes notes.

11:12.538 --> 11:13.358
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I read it.

11:13.439 --> 11:15.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I got through like a third of it.

11:15.140 --> 11:15.600
[SPEAKER_00]: It was good.

11:16.121 --> 11:16.521
[SPEAKER_00]: That was enough.

11:16.581 --> 11:17.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you liked it, Justin.

11:17.902 --> 11:18.663
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you liked it.

11:19.515 --> 11:21.437
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, that was me.

11:21.497 --> 11:24.140
[SPEAKER_01]: There's absolutely nothing going on with my life, but that took like ten minutes.

11:24.180 --> 11:25.081
[SPEAKER_01]: So, hey, how are you?

11:25.141 --> 11:25.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.

11:25.501 --> 11:25.861
[SPEAKER_00]: How are you doing?

11:26.602 --> 11:28.344
[SPEAKER_00]: I am good as well.

11:28.364 --> 11:32.187
[SPEAKER_00]: I had, what was this week this week?

11:32.247 --> 11:36.031
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just taking a quick glance as I do to see if there's anything fun I can bring up.

11:36.431 --> 11:42.797
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, oh, well, my, so my, we had my, okay, first off, I had my daughters dancing.

11:43.667 --> 11:46.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, which I love watching them do their ballet dances.

11:47.168 --> 11:49.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a freaking sucker when it comes to them.

11:49.768 --> 11:56.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I love all my kids and they there's just something though about watching them all dressed up in ballet and like dancing.

11:56.450 --> 12:01.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm pushover when it comes to that stuff.

12:01.231 --> 12:11.613
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got to go and watch both of them dance, which was fun except that they were dancing on different days, which means we had to go to two performances and they were like two hours long to watch your kid dance for like ten minutes.

12:15.035 --> 12:21.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Went to my daughter's grad for graduating elementary school, she's moving on to middle school.

12:21.303 --> 12:23.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, that was fun.

12:24.427 --> 12:29.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she got, she was awarded a specific award that goes to went to three kids.

12:29.994 --> 12:31.916
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she had like a hundred kids in her grad class.

12:32.497 --> 12:33.618
[SPEAKER_00]: because it was large.

12:34.399 --> 12:37.541
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, she got recognized for some pretty cool things there.

12:37.581 --> 12:42.405
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I just, it was the rest of it was work, work and meetings all week.

12:44.087 --> 12:45.408
[SPEAKER_00]: So nothing really fun.

12:45.428 --> 12:48.130
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just, I mean, besides there stuff.

12:48.731 --> 12:49.631
[SPEAKER_00]: And now school's out.

12:50.272 --> 12:52.754
[SPEAKER_00]: And my son starts work next week.

12:53.494 --> 12:55.376
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got himself a job.

12:55.416 --> 12:55.576
[SPEAKER_00]: So

12:56.737 --> 13:10.518
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah man it was my week was work I played we were watching the second season of the last of us like we're because it's all out so we've been watching through that I think we have two more episodes left and then I worked

13:12.440 --> 13:13.941
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a good week, but it was just very busy.

13:13.961 --> 13:17.884
[SPEAKER_00]: You're still catching up from your Formula One weekend in Montreal too, right?

13:18.325 --> 13:19.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

13:19.085 --> 13:26.431
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't, I'm not, it's still not even caught up, but it was funny Tyler and I think last week, after we ended the episode,

13:27.272 --> 13:30.213
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I were talking about like, oh, we got three hundred coming up.

13:30.653 --> 13:33.194
[SPEAKER_00]: And we hadn't even thought about the fact that we've got episode three hundred.

13:33.234 --> 13:34.455
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to do anything for it.

13:34.515 --> 13:35.355
[SPEAKER_00]: We weren't really sure.

13:35.395 --> 13:37.576
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, maybe we'll do something, but maybe not.

13:37.676 --> 13:41.837
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we, I hadn't even realized what week that was falling on.

13:41.877 --> 13:43.998
[SPEAKER_00]: And then time, I said she's like, hey, I'm going away.

13:44.698 --> 13:45.899
[SPEAKER_00]: So what can we do for this?

13:45.959 --> 13:46.900
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like shoot.

13:46.940 --> 13:48.041
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got family here.

13:48.141 --> 13:58.531
[SPEAKER_00]: So our three hundred deficit is relatively like squished in Yeah, it won't be any special thirty minutes just to commemorate the three hundred.

13:58.551 --> 14:02.815
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just gonna chop off a zero and it's gonna be it but it's gonna be it's gonna be

14:04.196 --> 14:07.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it won't be, uh, that'll be what we do special.

14:07.859 --> 14:09.340
[SPEAKER_00]: It will be done on a different day.

14:09.360 --> 14:11.321
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's right.

14:11.721 --> 14:19.087
[SPEAKER_01]: For the haters, you know, sometimes like you hate something and complain about something, but you still listen to it or watch it or play it or whatever it is.

14:19.127 --> 14:23.109
[SPEAKER_01]: So for the haters that listen to us every week, that will be your favorite episode.

14:23.690 --> 14:25.031
[SPEAKER_01]: A special commemorative.

14:25.351 --> 14:27.973
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be one of the haters episode.

14:28.593 --> 14:30.795
[SPEAKER_01]: You only get thirty minutes of Tyler and Justin.

14:31.355 --> 14:36.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we have a good amount of time on that day, but we're just doing it on a weird day.

14:36.598 --> 14:37.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not a guy.

14:37.259 --> 14:40.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's the last day that you have, like, we have to record and you have to edit that day.

14:40.881 --> 14:43.882
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have company and that's petting.

14:43.922 --> 14:45.223
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to win no interruptions.

14:45.964 --> 14:46.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:46.464 --> 14:47.465
[SPEAKER_00]: And it which will not happen.

14:47.545 --> 14:48.405
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

14:48.505 --> 14:51.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, it's going to be a fantastic, three hundredth episode.

14:52.347 --> 14:54.969
[SPEAKER_00]: But I got a feeling just it's just going to be that good.

14:55.469 --> 14:58.091
[SPEAKER_00]: The tonight's going to be good night.

14:58.591 --> 14:59.552
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's how the song goes.

14:59.672 --> 14:59.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway.

15:00.412 --> 15:01.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, good week.

15:01.753 --> 15:02.254
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we got?

15:02.674 --> 15:05.877
[SPEAKER_00]: I played Path of Exile One, so I got to talk about on Path of Exile One side.

15:05.897 --> 15:07.819
[SPEAKER_00]: So what do we got this week in Pewey?

15:08.379 --> 15:09.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw they came out with something just today.

15:09.940 --> 15:12.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're new set up.

15:13.083 --> 15:13.504
[SPEAKER_01]: What is this?

15:13.524 --> 15:14.845
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you talking about?

15:14.865 --> 15:16.446
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to change that.

15:16.967 --> 15:18.828
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have a problem with Trello changed.

15:19.109 --> 15:20.830
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't have the window small anymore.

15:21.411 --> 15:24.533
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks exactly the same to me, so maybe you just used to resize something.

15:24.573 --> 15:24.854
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

15:25.394 --> 15:26.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they changed the look.

15:28.686 --> 15:30.228
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just opening your links to see if...

15:31.605 --> 15:32.546
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll start it off for your time.

15:32.586 --> 15:33.567
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a couple hot fixes.

15:34.267 --> 15:35.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Fixed a bug crafting bench.

15:35.668 --> 15:36.949
[SPEAKER_00]: That's cool.

15:37.890 --> 15:38.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Another hot fix.

15:39.531 --> 15:40.852
[SPEAKER_00]: Damage changes.

15:41.232 --> 15:42.353
[SPEAKER_00]: That was hot fix six.

15:42.413 --> 15:44.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there was another hot fix seven.

15:44.295 --> 15:45.416
[SPEAKER_00]: There was another one today.

15:45.436 --> 15:46.616
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw this morning.

15:48.218 --> 15:50.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Further reduced the damage of influence maps.

15:51.360 --> 15:53.762
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of a lot of hot fixes.

15:54.162 --> 15:56.764
[SPEAKER_00]: They had one today that was actually interesting to me because it was

15:57.925 --> 16:00.307
[SPEAKER_00]: It was regarding crashes.

16:00.667 --> 16:06.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, let me pull it up because there were two things that I was like, oh, both of those things were something I was going to bring up today because they've been bugging me.

16:07.431 --> 16:10.613
[SPEAKER_00]: So, oh, so it was an update on things coming.

16:10.673 --> 16:14.075
[SPEAKER_00]: So server issues, they're focusing on improving dedos protection.

16:14.656 --> 16:16.917
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's been causing legitimate traffic to get blocked.

16:17.277 --> 16:19.019
[SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to find a solution to that.

16:19.039 --> 16:20.920
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently there was issues with compromised accounts.

16:20.960 --> 16:22.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea what that's regarding.

16:22.721 --> 16:24.062
[SPEAKER_00]: But then visual flickering there.

16:24.882 --> 16:25.222
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny.

16:25.362 --> 16:30.464
[SPEAKER_00]: We're aware that game elements and games UI will start to flicker in and out when gameplay gets a bit hectic.

16:30.564 --> 16:34.586
[SPEAKER_00]: The engine team is urgently looking into this and we're hoping to have an update on this issue next week.

16:35.126 --> 16:36.746
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not new.

16:37.006 --> 16:40.348
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm listening.

16:40.448 --> 16:45.670
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to send you, I have to download it from my Xbox account, but I'm going to send you a video and what's that?

16:46.110 --> 16:46.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

16:46.970 --> 16:50.732
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm playing on one of my characters right now.

16:50.772 --> 16:53.434
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing blight and blight has always been like that.

16:53.474 --> 16:59.437
[SPEAKER_00]: If I get a massive blight, because you can really juice blights, the screen will always go nuts.

16:59.517 --> 17:00.718
[SPEAKER_00]: It loses textures.

17:00.798 --> 17:01.438
[SPEAKER_00]: It flickers.

17:01.518 --> 17:02.239
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes crazy.

17:02.299 --> 17:07.021
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not really sure why they're saying like, we're aware of well, there's no way you haven't been aware.

17:07.061 --> 17:07.902
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not new thing.

17:10.103 --> 17:11.825
[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be nice if they find a fix to that.

17:11.865 --> 17:15.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Just don't understand how if there's something new or maybe it's just worse now.

17:16.511 --> 17:18.654
[SPEAKER_00]: But they were definitely having server issues this week.

17:18.714 --> 17:21.757
[SPEAKER_00]: It was getting a really annoying because I kept getting kicked off.

17:22.819 --> 17:25.061
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, it wasn't like you were just getting kicked off.

17:25.081 --> 17:28.145
[SPEAKER_00]: You were losing maps one time I lost drops.

17:31.069 --> 17:35.555
[SPEAKER_01]: We're in the most stable zone for whatever their reasons are in New Zealand land.

17:35.575 --> 17:39.621
[SPEAKER_01]: You forget that land is already in it, but I mean in New Zealand land.

17:45.148 --> 17:49.490
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of their releases revolve around the Pacific time zone, right?

17:49.870 --> 17:50.890
[SPEAKER_01]: LA Seattle.

17:51.250 --> 17:52.871
[SPEAKER_01]: That includes us because we're Vancouver.

17:53.511 --> 17:59.734
[SPEAKER_01]: And so for some reason, that's that's the focus on instead of the STPSD or the wrong whatever it is.

18:00.414 --> 18:06.756
[SPEAKER_01]: But so we live we have a very stable like the California one is typically when everyone else is having problems.

18:06.796 --> 18:08.237
[SPEAKER_01]: The California server is like

18:08.737 --> 18:09.938
[SPEAKER_01]: It's working, right?

18:09.958 --> 18:32.038
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's had issues in the past, but for the most part, it's stable, but I've seen so many posts from people, not just in our discord, but I've just in the impact of feedback that I have been, I'm being into Path of Exile too, has been great, but then I've been seeing a lot of other feedback and patches that have been posted in between all of my sessions and posts, and there's been a lot of server stuff.

18:32.638 --> 18:34.359
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I see it.

18:34.620 --> 18:35.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

18:35.320 --> 18:35.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

18:35.780 --> 18:40.524
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I really hope to get it fixed soon because it's their first launch in forever.

18:40.544 --> 18:47.269
[SPEAKER_01]: It would really suck if this isn't just a small percentage of people that's getting impacted.

18:48.421 --> 18:51.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not a small percent with the crashes.

18:51.722 --> 18:52.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually funny what the most.

18:52.902 --> 18:55.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what the most annoying thing is when they crash sometimes though.

18:56.243 --> 19:00.004
[SPEAKER_00]: So game crashes I come back in and I wrote in global.

19:00.024 --> 19:03.425
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, does anybody else experiencing crashes and there's all these.

19:03.465 --> 19:04.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, blah, blah, blah.

19:04.746 --> 19:04.966
[SPEAKER_00]: And then

19:05.846 --> 19:21.076
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm playing, I'm going through, and I'm leveling my character, and I'm reading global, like, just vileness of towards GG and, like, the game and just, and I'm, so I'm reading this stuff, and I'm like, okay, I don't recognize that name, but like, calm down.

19:21.437 --> 19:24.539
[SPEAKER_00]: People aren't normally like this in twenty one twenty one, and I'm reading through it.

19:24.559 --> 19:27.921
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, then something was posted, and I was like, wait a second.

19:28.301 --> 19:30.583
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way this is our global chat.

19:30.943 --> 19:33.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I look, and sure enough, it moved me to like global fifteen.

19:34.225 --> 19:45.207
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you are playing Path of Exile and you want a chill place to hang out with a global chat, twenty one twenty one is where you should be because I switched and I was like oh that was a awful I posted and there I was like

19:46.862 --> 19:48.623
[SPEAKER_01]: People actually have had to happen to them too.

19:48.703 --> 19:50.284
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, well, take me back.

19:50.824 --> 19:53.665
[SPEAKER_01]: A little bit of Osmosis happened and Justin comes into twenty one.

19:53.685 --> 20:01.309
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,

20:13.462 --> 20:14.783
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

20:14.803 --> 20:16.063
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like who is his person.

20:16.083 --> 20:18.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I've paid everyone or well, see it later.

20:18.584 --> 20:23.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So much that they're just, that this small group of people's like, uh, let's just, we get into it instead.

20:25.427 --> 20:27.148
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to know who this wild guy is.

20:27.168 --> 20:28.048
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's get out of here.

20:28.609 --> 20:30.630
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah, twenty one, twenty one, everyone.

20:30.650 --> 20:32.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one has been awesome.

20:33.271 --> 20:40.654
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I, I really like our community and we have a great community like I had, even when I came in, I came in like a week into the league.

20:41.753 --> 20:48.075
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome because I had people helping me out with people post like, hey, does anybody need this unique map for completion?

20:48.135 --> 21:00.658
[SPEAKER_00]: So I jumped in and out of a bunch of groups and did a bunch of unique maps and then getting people to help me with my stuff and we'll talk about my path of Excel week in a minute, but like I had so much help from twenty one twenty one and and discord actually this week.

21:00.698 --> 21:02.178
[SPEAKER_00]: So I appreciate everybody.

21:02.758 --> 21:06.400
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I saw the flickering thing and I was like, this isn't new.

21:06.700 --> 21:14.104
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you can fix it cool, but it might blights when I hit some blights that are like, they're just so many mobs in one spot.

21:14.644 --> 21:15.385
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always done that.

21:15.465 --> 21:17.206
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not new.

21:17.326 --> 21:20.507
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see in path to there's a flickering issue.

21:20.547 --> 21:26.110
[SPEAKER_01]: It could just be on the series S because remember there's a more powerful version of the Xbox than there's a weaker version.

21:26.190 --> 21:28.972
[SPEAKER_01]: So it could just be on the S. That's what I'm primarily playing on.

21:28.992 --> 21:30.813
[SPEAKER_01]: This is watching your video.

21:32.193 --> 21:46.281
[SPEAKER_01]: Right and so sometimes it'll flicker and what you see in that video is it's flickering and so there's some things that are always blank but then some things are like flashing and that's if you go in and out of the menu too much right

21:48.122 --> 21:49.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, I can't do this game.

21:49.223 --> 21:50.123
[SPEAKER_01]: That's massive screen.

21:50.143 --> 21:50.684
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you go.

21:50.704 --> 22:01.491
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it is related to backing how the game, I guess, loads and unloads when you're going from the menu screens to back to the game.

22:01.991 --> 22:07.134
[SPEAKER_01]: But it always resets if I can get to town and then come back into the area and find everything's fixed.

22:07.254 --> 22:09.276
[SPEAKER_01]: So, however, it loads into town.

22:10.036 --> 22:12.640
[SPEAKER_01]: and comes back from town as you can just say it needs to do.

22:13.280 --> 22:17.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, hopefully not at the same load time, but that's how it happens.

22:17.306 --> 22:23.013
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, so anyway, I sent Justin a video and it's literally just a blank, technically beige screen.

22:23.274 --> 22:24.075
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything's blank.

22:24.155 --> 22:25.457
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't see your health.

22:25.857 --> 22:27.059
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a minion mob.

22:27.419 --> 22:42.008
[SPEAKER_01]: And the only reason I can see my health bar is because I have that selection in the option screen where I have my HUD and ES or sorry my life and ES above my character and the enemies turned on like I was getting chased by some sort of powerful enemy.

22:42.128 --> 22:49.893
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that I had to wait until because you can't just click the portal scroll ret game.

22:50.073 --> 22:51.875
[SPEAKER_01]: So I do wait until I was safe and then

22:52.575 --> 22:53.417
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it was funny.

22:53.437 --> 22:56.382
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, it was fifteen seconds of just pure beige Justin.

22:56.722 --> 23:03.814
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like that in the world, but no because the like less powerful version, but yeah, I mean, it's totally access.

23:03.834 --> 23:05.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully they'll fix that stuff, but that is fun.

23:06.598 --> 23:08.060
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe it's the same issue.

23:08.960 --> 23:13.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they thought something was working really well on path two and they felt like they could apply it to path one.

23:14.005 --> 23:17.489
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but the flickering thing on path one, though, is just it's just not new.

23:17.629 --> 23:20.151
[SPEAKER_00]: It's I've always agreed to say that.

23:20.412 --> 23:22.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you were in a derail, I thought, no, no, no, late it.

23:22.774 --> 23:23.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sorry.

23:23.174 --> 23:29.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've similar ideas, but like what I've seen in path one.

23:31.362 --> 23:33.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, that wasn't a surprise to me.

23:33.422 --> 23:42.364
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, that's happened before when you have so many mobs on the screen and you've got flashy skills and it was just a, it wasn't a new experience for me.

23:42.404 --> 23:48.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was a little curious when they were like, we're aware and I'm like, okay, but you should have said we'd been aware.

23:48.645 --> 23:51.646
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not new.

23:51.806 --> 23:53.146
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for the recent.

23:53.766 --> 23:54.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

23:54.587 --> 23:56.507
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but whatever hopefully they can find some fix that.

23:57.087 --> 23:58.267
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I got through the heart fixes.

23:58.287 --> 23:58.868
[SPEAKER_00]: What else we got?

23:59.248 --> 24:00.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, great job.

24:00.548 --> 24:02.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the tape and was interviewed this week.

24:02.689 --> 24:09.291
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a boss kill event in path one who the soundtrack, which we always appreciate.

24:09.871 --> 24:10.331
[SPEAKER_01]: What was it?

24:10.371 --> 24:11.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Which one did they release was it?

24:11.471 --> 24:12.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, see because of the Alice.

24:13.012 --> 24:13.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

24:13.192 --> 24:13.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Love it.

24:13.552 --> 24:18.935
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's always awesome, especially if you go into your account settings on the website.

24:18.975 --> 24:27.280
[SPEAKER_01]: If there's any players here that don't, path of Excel is pretty unique in that regards where it's almost like you have to be aware and log into the website.

24:27.300 --> 24:31.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Like other games like you can use your game to go on the website for whatever reason.

24:33.564 --> 24:43.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't think of playing Path of Excel without ever going to the website, just because of how Path One's worked with the store and all that kind of stuff.

24:43.410 --> 24:46.191
[SPEAKER_01]: It almost forces you to go to the website a little bit.

24:46.671 --> 24:48.673
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that it may be on console.

24:48.713 --> 24:50.193
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like that on PC.

24:50.434 --> 24:51.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, you're right.

24:51.534 --> 24:53.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the store is so much better in Path One.

24:54.276 --> 24:57.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Path Two, the store is phenomenal for console players.

24:57.257 --> 24:58.418
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's amazing.

25:00.139 --> 25:07.861
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but anyway, I like going on and then you realize you have access to all these different soundtracks that maybe you didn't realize.

25:07.901 --> 25:13.582
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were like playing around in your personal settings and stuff like that for your account and so I believe there's two.

25:13.922 --> 25:19.764
[SPEAKER_01]: We always, because we've talked with Camille and we love Camille, I always forget the second music person's name.

25:20.044 --> 25:20.584
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it Michael?

25:20.624 --> 25:21.104
[SPEAKER_01]: New junior.

25:21.664 --> 25:22.564
[SPEAKER_01]: Camille, junior.

25:22.724 --> 25:23.825
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, it's my awesome job.

25:25.805 --> 25:33.690
[SPEAKER_01]: music, folk, Camille and Camille Jr., I want to let you know that your music is so good that it actually plays in the Tyler House on Google Home Speakers.

25:35.071 --> 25:42.196
[SPEAKER_01]: My son loads the path of XL one and two playlists when he's getting ready for bed.

25:43.661 --> 25:49.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so yeah, he's here like all this music and he's like, oh, play this boss's song and all this kind of stuff.

25:49.683 --> 25:51.484
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's listening to it and it's good.

25:51.524 --> 25:56.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I open the normally I get the kids to close the door so that I don't have to hear all their music while they're getting ready for bed.

25:57.466 --> 25:59.827
[SPEAKER_01]: When that stuff's on, I open the door.

26:00.327 --> 26:04.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, or I'll like, you know, make it so that it's on more than one speaker throughout the Google home network.

26:04.949 --> 26:06.410
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's pretty sweet.

26:07.050 --> 26:07.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

26:07.830 --> 26:09.291
[SPEAKER_01]: And then what you brought up, yeah.

26:09.951 --> 26:14.676
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm I'm playing path to your playing path one that's the end of path one news.

26:14.696 --> 26:16.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to just do your week?

26:17.059 --> 26:26.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I guess it doesn't even matter because there was the not you don't matter but the path like organizing it because there was a build showcase and then there was a runover up for build showcases.

26:26.790 --> 26:27.470
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like that.

26:31.214 --> 26:36.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess like it encourages people to try different things out in the beta, right?

26:36.817 --> 26:37.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Are these paths too built?

26:38.478 --> 26:41.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, and there's things that need to be like your posting builds.

26:42.119 --> 26:47.002
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm curious, because I used to post builds quite often every league.

26:47.302 --> 26:47.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.

26:48.082 --> 26:52.943
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a good number of builds that were posted for Path of Excel.

26:52.983 --> 26:57.184
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious with what Path of Excel twos numbers are going to be post legit launch.

26:57.224 --> 26:57.745
[SPEAKER_01]: How many?

26:58.305 --> 27:03.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I really wish I really hope they fix their form situation a little bit.

27:03.626 --> 27:06.047
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's at least having like

27:06.887 --> 27:30.063
[SPEAKER_01]: a better website to properly search builds maybe with tags or skills something like that you know what I mean it's so just to go like off of a text base thing and you go and you search for something like lightning arrow or zombies or whatever but then half of your post or from twenty sixteen or something like that's path one but you know what I mean like that I really hope to imagine they don't

27:31.003 --> 27:52.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they don't either but I really hope they do like I really would love for them to have an easy access build system so the people who are looking for builds be like this is the skill I'm looking for this is the class I'm looking for and I mean it's already organized by class but you know what I mean like right now it's just very rudimentary it's super basic and it's not very user friendly I guess you could say

27:53.252 --> 28:06.457
[SPEAKER_00]: After deciding this league to just go find a build because I didn't have time to read anything and seeing what other companies have built for build designs for other games, not just Path of Exile.

28:07.798 --> 28:11.419
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it even makes sense for GGG to try and build their own.

28:11.479 --> 28:17.182
[SPEAKER_00]: That is being done so much better by third parties and I have no problem with that because it's outside the game.

28:17.742 --> 28:27.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it doesn't bother me at all.

28:27.291 --> 28:37.079
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a couple others, but they have like, it looks to me at least like very good systems for building a guide, updating a guide, following a guide.

28:37.440 --> 28:41.263
[SPEAKER_00]: So it doesn't make sense for GG to make something of their own.

28:41.523 --> 28:42.665
[SPEAKER_00]: That's wasted resources.

28:43.545 --> 28:49.507
[SPEAKER_01]: I disagree because I'm hoping for integration into the game.

28:49.527 --> 28:54.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I still think they could maybe if they wanted to find integration with third parties.

28:56.150 --> 29:04.433
[SPEAKER_00]: For what I've seen these other guys create, I think for grinding your games to make it would just be wasted resources when they are trying to build a game.

29:05.217 --> 29:14.063
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not uncommon for when you're playing some games to find builds and suggestions outside of what's provided by the company itself.

29:14.823 --> 29:15.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Agreed.

29:15.303 --> 29:20.446
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it would be wasted resources, but, I mean, for beta, I don't see it being a priority.

29:20.647 --> 29:24.509
[SPEAKER_01]: But post launch, I definitely see it with the game as complex as this.

29:26.090 --> 29:28.852
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely see it as a company to do it itself.

29:29.452 --> 29:29.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you.

29:31.293 --> 29:50.207
[SPEAKER_00]: It would depend on how they build it and whether or not it does have some sort of integration with the game because if there is not going to be an integration with the game, it would be crazy for them to try and do that because you're probably not going to do it better than people who are making websites specifically for build designs and build guides.

29:51.768 --> 29:56.390
[SPEAKER_00]: So, in this case, for me, I feel like it doesn't not.

29:56.671 --> 30:01.473
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's probably not even on the radar because everybody else is using these other sites.

30:01.593 --> 30:02.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume at least.

30:03.034 --> 30:09.697
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, you can't have the text-based build guides.

30:09.757 --> 30:15.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think they're as effective anymore as compared to what I've seen on these other ones.

30:15.723 --> 30:26.524
[SPEAKER_01]: that's kind of what I'm like I get that like we're on different pages and as a terms of like I want GG to do it and you don't think that they should but I think we're on the same page in terms of the

30:28.368 --> 30:33.911
[SPEAKER_01]: how outdated their form system is for the sake of builds and showcasing builds.

30:35.031 --> 30:45.817
[SPEAKER_01]: But that being said, it's quite a few years ago now, but when Bex was still around and this was a few years, she put out a tweet to everybody, hey, if you know,

30:46.517 --> 31:04.643
[SPEAKER_01]: You were looking for and then yeah, I mean, maybe they were thinking because years because yeah, they were asking for like very specific requests for hey, if we were going to if there's anything that you want in terms of build case showcasing guide writing any ideas any hopes and dreams that you want.

31:05.223 --> 31:05.683
[SPEAKER_01]: message me.

31:05.803 --> 31:06.243
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me know.

31:06.403 --> 31:09.744
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, Enky and I individual post, but we talked lots about it.

31:09.824 --> 31:20.666
[SPEAKER_01]: And because Enky was actually the, like, I, when I saw how Enky did his arc build for a long time, that was like, man, that is like, that is really well done.

31:20.726 --> 31:22.286
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how that's what I want to do.

31:22.366 --> 31:24.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I've been explaining it very well.

31:24.386 --> 31:25.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to show it this way.

31:25.607 --> 31:28.387
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was, and that's what kind of really got me like, oh, wow.

31:28.787 --> 31:30.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I can really do this well here.

31:30.507 --> 31:32.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, again, this is years ago, but

31:33.688 --> 31:50.556
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that happened that was the pinnacle of following in writing guides was from the forums and well, thank you for sure, but like people started to get way better at writing their guides, but these other third party services have gone so much further.

31:51.236 --> 32:03.707
[SPEAKER_00]: with being able to give the guidewriter a lot of control to actually have like a lot of visual aids and stuff to help with like even gearing and your way that you're going through the tree and planning it all out.

32:04.407 --> 32:08.371
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a part of that tree on that max role was really cool to see.

32:08.391 --> 32:10.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that kind of stuff.

32:10.673 --> 32:11.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway.

32:12.214 --> 32:29.440
[SPEAKER_01]: it'd be cool to see the integration and I just see that kind of stuff just because and the only reason this came up like it's like again priorities super low when it's at beta time unless that's something you actually want done for launch but I'm see people like posting their builds for beta and I'm like that's that's a lot of work

32:30.080 --> 32:32.303
[SPEAKER_01]: from beta, like it's basically anything can change.

32:32.343 --> 32:34.145
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like you're posting a bill.

32:34.165 --> 32:35.566
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, it's not a criticism.

32:35.606 --> 32:43.896
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm basically saying like kudos to these people for actually taking the time to post their builds because in beta, anything can change.

32:44.657 --> 32:45.097
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like

32:45.818 --> 33:04.037
[SPEAKER_01]: you know something that one big thing changes from league to league after the games legitimately launched like from the two point six to two point seven or something in path of excel one and they change armor they change a vision or whatever and it changes like it's just one big change that kind of nurse your build we're talking like I don't know

33:04.758 --> 33:08.199
[SPEAKER_01]: They could like completely remove, change anything in a beta.

33:08.239 --> 33:14.340
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, kudos to these people, we're actually taking the time to post their stuff, despite the high risk, so good for them.

33:15.121 --> 33:20.822
[SPEAKER_00]: But probably a lot of people who are creating other content as well, because it helps drive people to their content.

33:21.242 --> 33:21.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, of course.

33:22.062 --> 33:22.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course.

33:23.023 --> 33:23.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

33:23.503 --> 33:24.343
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of like twitch.

33:24.463 --> 33:32.245
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just basically your platform for bringing up with the exception of a few people, of course, with all their subs, but it's basically a platform to bring sure to your YouTube channel.

33:34.064 --> 33:36.826
[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, tell me about you tell me about how the Vexile II.

33:37.026 --> 33:38.647
[SPEAKER_00]: We did Path of Exile I won first last time.

33:39.247 --> 33:39.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Did we?

33:39.927 --> 33:40.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we did.

33:40.448 --> 33:42.969
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's care about Path of Exile II right now, though.

33:43.209 --> 33:46.831
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, well, probably like, twenty-one is a good indication.

33:46.851 --> 33:47.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, every night.

33:47.872 --> 33:49.392
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, tell me what you've been playing around.

33:52.027 --> 33:55.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm still thinking about power charges and calling.

33:55.390 --> 33:57.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, just that calling is just hot.

33:57.071 --> 34:04.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, so this past week, so like I said, Oliver's been really into watching me play and asking tons of questions.

34:04.799 --> 34:10.003
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm trying to like you help me through the Jamir Quay fight, right, Jim Nara.

34:12.085 --> 34:14.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that bill, it's just really weak.

34:15.088 --> 34:16.830
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really progressing slowly.

34:17.350 --> 34:23.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Whereas if I switch to my minion instability character, rares are done in one or two hits.

34:23.396 --> 34:28.260
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure, that's still ten seconds because of revive time with my with my skeletons, but still like it's I see.

34:30.082 --> 34:31.142
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, moving on, right?

34:31.162 --> 34:37.225
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm there with my Frost Bowl when, and I even, quote unquote, cheated with my Frost Bowl character.

34:37.265 --> 34:44.007
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't had a lesser, where they called lesser jeweler or drop for the player yet, but I used one for my stash, so I had a cheating.

34:44.652 --> 34:47.814
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, I know, but I cheated and I used one anyway.

34:47.834 --> 34:50.595
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have an extra link and I still, I'm hitting like a wet noodle.

34:51.736 --> 35:04.363
[SPEAKER_01]: And so like, and find whatever I'm going through and I'm enjoying it, but like there was, there's been three bosses that I was getting really frustrated and I felt like I had no hope on all of her did them for me.

35:05.223 --> 35:05.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Good man.

35:06.004 --> 35:06.504
[SPEAKER_01]: No joke.

35:06.684 --> 35:07.324
[SPEAKER_01]: No joke.

35:08.025 --> 35:17.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, with that exact same character he was not to change anything and it was and like he was getting to the point where like he would have no flash and the boss would only have half health too.

35:17.830 --> 35:25.995
[SPEAKER_01]: But then he'd have a couple sessions where he'd all of a sudden start getting like really low and like I'm not talking like I'm not getting used to the boss.

35:26.775 --> 35:28.476
[SPEAKER_01]: All of his obviously a better player than me.

35:28.536 --> 35:45.929
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't deny that anymore, but there's a situation where it's not that the boss or the skill still need major tweaking, but it's so the chimerified was one where I can barely get to half health before all my flasks were out, and he ended up doing that fight form of that.

35:45.969 --> 35:46.850
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so cool.

35:47.030 --> 35:47.350
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

35:47.390 --> 35:47.970
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hilarious.

35:48.391 --> 35:51.693
[SPEAKER_01]: There was another one, there are two more.

35:51.833 --> 35:55.216
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I just obviously have him handing you the controller and being like done.

35:55.886 --> 35:57.528
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's exactly what it was.

35:57.548 --> 35:59.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Dad, you can deal with your gear now.

36:00.772 --> 36:01.753
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.

36:01.813 --> 36:07.339
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a hilarious, so like, but I'm, and I got to the point where I was like, I was lying down and like, you know, with my health, right?

36:07.379 --> 36:12.785
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a, like, that little window hits and I just hit with a bus and I got a fall asleep.

36:12.805 --> 36:16.329
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just like, here, just play for twenty minutes and all of a sudden it's like,

36:17.110 --> 36:17.611
[SPEAKER_01]: progress.

36:18.411 --> 36:18.932
[SPEAKER_01]: It's amazing.

36:18.972 --> 36:20.993
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, I've been having fun.

36:21.754 --> 36:30.221
[SPEAKER_01]: I get my moods, sometimes I'm doing minion instability, which isn't end game, and sometimes I'm doing the Frostball, which is just like walking through sludge, but I'm getting there.

36:30.822 --> 36:32.563
[SPEAKER_01]: And on my way to Dorianne, he was that one.

36:33.084 --> 36:40.330
[SPEAKER_01]: But I really love the idea of that one, so I'm keeping it, and then hopefully, well, I guess when the new patch comes out, I'll be trying.

36:41.040 --> 36:41.981
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, we'll see how it goes.

36:42.421 --> 36:44.662
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm playing endgame.

36:45.162 --> 36:47.704
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just learning how things go and I'm going through.

36:47.744 --> 36:53.867
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still laughing at like the mobile experience that they've done to tell the story where you get this little pop up.

36:53.887 --> 36:54.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't figure.

36:55.027 --> 36:55.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't figure.

36:56.548 --> 36:57.109
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't figure.

36:57.129 --> 36:58.970
[SPEAKER_01]: It could be new since the last time you played.

36:59.010 --> 36:59.330
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

37:00.230 --> 37:01.972
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, don't forget to go to this Nexus.

37:02.172 --> 37:03.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that one's really curious.

37:03.954 --> 37:05.396
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, let me know when you've completed this.

37:06.477 --> 37:15.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, but I'm going through and I'm trying out different things and I'm learning how it all works with like precursor tablets and towers and

37:16.147 --> 37:30.947
[SPEAKER_01]: This says you can only like this is a monster level eighty so good luck and this is what you're looking for so I don't really know what everything is yet and I'm not sure what the strategies are but I've been enjoying that and I'm learning it and it's a lot of fun

37:31.590 --> 37:35.111
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm at this kind of law, though, where greater.

37:35.391 --> 37:37.172
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the one for the fifth socket.

37:37.872 --> 37:38.912
[SPEAKER_01]: The greater jeweler's orbs.

37:39.352 --> 37:44.514
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had one drop and I thought the same thing.

37:44.534 --> 37:47.755
[SPEAKER_00]: I get that it's the equivalent of a five link.

37:48.415 --> 37:52.436
[SPEAKER_00]: But it still feels like it's a reduced amount.

37:52.516 --> 37:56.758
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it's because there's the expectation now if you're having so many more, right?

37:56.818 --> 38:05.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a five link in POE one was you were only at most going to have two at most because of you'd have to have a two hander and a chess piece.

38:06.001 --> 38:09.682
[SPEAKER_00]: But the expectation now is you can do up to six on all of them.

38:10.282 --> 38:12.943
[SPEAKER_00]: It just feels it feels less.

38:13.718 --> 38:21.284
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's also, I still don't think it's in a good place because I think a lot of the supports are, I'm not gonna use.

38:21.605 --> 38:23.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's very little that's tempting.

38:23.806 --> 38:32.274
[SPEAKER_01]: When I've been looking at outside of my skeletons exploding, I have a greater jewelers or, but I'm like, once I unlock a second curse, I can.

38:32.474 --> 38:37.218
[SPEAKER_01]: But like, all my other skills, I'm like, there's really nothing that is gonna help me at all.

38:37.238 --> 38:39.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's not really worth the mana cost.

38:39.820 --> 38:40.801
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that beneficial.

38:41.341 --> 38:45.424
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you couple that with, well, I can only, like, for example, mobility.

38:46.045 --> 38:47.286
[SPEAKER_01]: Or I don't think it's called mobility.

38:47.326 --> 38:54.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it mobility the one where, is it momentum or mobility the one where it, you're a little bit faster when you're casting or using your skills.

38:54.331 --> 38:54.812
[SPEAKER_00]: I know your time.

38:56.453 --> 39:02.675
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you can only use one support for your entire build as opposed to a weapon set.

39:03.315 --> 39:05.236
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I can only use that, it's frustrating.

39:05.296 --> 39:10.158
[SPEAKER_01]: Because then it kind of excludes, like, okay, well, I'd like to use Frostbolt for this one or weapon swap.

39:10.638 --> 39:12.599
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm using incinerate instead.

39:13.139 --> 39:14.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, only one of them gets momentum.

39:15.460 --> 39:16.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Or, you know what I mean?

39:16.960 --> 39:17.641
[SPEAKER_01]: The faster one.

39:17.661 --> 39:18.601
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, that's...

39:19.181 --> 39:19.801
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of sucks.

39:19.841 --> 39:21.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Like all of a sudden, now I don't want to weapon swap.

39:21.402 --> 39:23.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to weapon swap, and now I'm slower.

39:24.363 --> 39:24.904
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

39:24.944 --> 39:30.246
[SPEAKER_01]: But then it also comes down to how some of these other supports work to.

39:31.686 --> 39:39.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I would five length this or six length this other skill, but it uses the same skills that this other skill I'm using uses.

39:40.590 --> 39:42.531
[SPEAKER_01]: So they need kind of the same supports.

39:43.171 --> 39:43.872
[SPEAKER_01]: So what am I going to do?

39:44.052 --> 39:44.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.

39:44.832 --> 39:45.532
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

39:45.852 --> 39:50.173
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just not a lot of cohesive options for a lot of the ideas that I'm coming up with.

39:50.233 --> 39:52.354
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's even with the stereotypical minions stuff.

39:52.394 --> 40:01.356
[SPEAKER_01]: So, in that regard, I'm kind of in this law where I'll I'm getting our tier one or tier two drops.

40:01.676 --> 40:07.577
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not really getting an increase in tiers, but I'm now five or six levels above the tier that I'm doing.

40:08.097 --> 40:08.537
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

40:08.557 --> 40:12.498
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm level seventy one, but I'm doing level sixty five and sixty six stuff.

40:13.158 --> 40:18.180
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, it's easy, but I'm having a tough time getting the higher stuff.

40:18.840 --> 40:28.243
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how it goes, but I'm enjoying learning the game and checking out the options and using the in-game tools, which is, I don't, it's silly.

40:28.263 --> 40:29.123
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like,

40:29.783 --> 40:33.564
[SPEAKER_01]: being excited that there's a seat in your car for when you're driving.

40:33.604 --> 40:38.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead of needing to squat while you're driving, it's like being excited that you can actually sit while you're driving.

40:38.245 --> 40:38.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Same kind of thing.

40:38.965 --> 40:44.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm excited that there's a cool search function that works really well on the pass of traffic.

40:44.226 --> 40:48.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited that there's a legend that actually has the information that's on the screen.

40:48.367 --> 40:52.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited that I can, oh, well, what's this coalescence corruption?

40:52.867 --> 40:55.068
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can click in game and read it.

40:55.968 --> 40:56.368
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome.

40:56.508 --> 41:04.275
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's a nice and refreshing experience when I still have that ten years of path one in me, you know what I mean?

41:05.436 --> 41:11.961
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I call an enemy, and I see that power charge, and then it reminds me of how stupid zombies are in path two.

41:12.622 --> 41:15.364
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I just want to like, ah, I should install path one.

41:15.384 --> 41:18.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just do a few maps with what zombies are really supposed to be like.

41:20.263 --> 41:20.703
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all good.

41:20.723 --> 41:21.524
[SPEAKER_01]: I've had a great time.

41:21.704 --> 41:24.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, uh, breaking news, Justin.

41:25.126 --> 41:31.470
[SPEAKER_01]: I waited and waited and waited for a stash tab sale for the socketable stash tab, right for all the rooms.

41:31.730 --> 41:33.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I haven't even got that one yet, MPOE too.

41:34.072 --> 41:36.053
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a stash tab sale last weekend, Justin.

41:36.273 --> 41:37.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, maybe I saw that.

41:37.214 --> 41:37.554
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

41:37.954 --> 41:38.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that MPOE went too.

41:39.555 --> 41:40.656
[SPEAKER_01]: I saved ten points.

41:42.297 --> 41:43.378
[SPEAKER_01]: It's dead of fifty points.

41:43.418 --> 41:44.819
[SPEAKER_01]: It went on sale for forty points.

41:44.899 --> 41:46.300
[SPEAKER_01]: And I waited two weeks for that.

41:46.863 --> 41:47.223
[SPEAKER_00]: That's sweet.

41:47.884 --> 41:48.445
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you buy both?

41:48.465 --> 41:48.865
[SPEAKER_00]: That was it.

41:48.905 --> 41:50.827
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a soccer ball.

41:50.847 --> 41:52.469
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I need soccer balls.

41:52.489 --> 41:53.550
[SPEAKER_00]: The other one that they came out with.

41:53.750 --> 41:54.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it was Adam.

41:54.932 --> 41:56.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it the ritual one?

41:57.634 --> 42:03.220
[SPEAKER_01]: There's still some weird things that are in the game that don't have a tab yet.

42:04.982 --> 42:06.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Pre-cursor tablets.

42:06.464 --> 42:06.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Never had them.

42:07.865 --> 42:09.106
[SPEAKER_01]: Why isn't that part of the map tab?

42:09.808 --> 42:12.089
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, honestly, I must have something else.

42:12.249 --> 42:13.989
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, remember the map tag just came out.

42:14.470 --> 42:15.610
[SPEAKER_00]: The map just came out.

42:16.310 --> 42:18.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I have no idea why the precursor.

42:18.331 --> 42:22.692
[SPEAKER_00]: There's probably some plan for it later on, but I can figure that out either.

42:22.772 --> 42:29.094
[SPEAKER_01]: There's got to be something else that's going to impact maps somehow that they're going to have like an impact map tab.

42:29.314 --> 42:29.814
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

42:29.834 --> 42:31.555
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a frag tab used to be kind of thing.

42:31.995 --> 42:34.156
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem like they want to get to that extent, but

42:34.776 --> 42:51.141
[SPEAKER_00]: And the problem with pre-cursures, though, is as you progress further into endgame, so few of them are worth picking up, because you want them to be the right amount of maps that they affect, because the amount of maps they affect can rule differently, and so the lower end map effect ones become garbage.

42:51.161 --> 42:53.841
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to pick them up anyway, because you're never going to use them.

42:54.122 --> 42:58.623
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially because now towers are fewer, while you can put more tablets into them,

42:59.283 --> 43:11.131
[SPEAKER_00]: There's less towers and less opportunity to put those precursor tablets in, and because you can't change them once they're in, the lower map affecting tablets just become wisdom scrolls.

43:11.191 --> 43:12.913
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not something you ever want to pick up.

43:13.453 --> 43:16.975
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but yeah, I don't know why they don't have a spot, a slot for them.

43:17.035 --> 43:19.917
[SPEAKER_00]: I joked with you that they'll make a tab for it later for us to purchase.

43:20.818 --> 43:23.800
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they also, I don't know why I started speaking.

43:23.880 --> 43:25.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, why did you do my sentiment just to say that?

43:27.390 --> 43:52.631
[SPEAKER_01]: back so I love Jimmy Fallon while we're on the subject and I loved when he first started his show he just like had his buddies on like his acting buddies I think like Drew Barrymore was like on five of the first ten episodes that he did right obviously now Jimmy Fallon's been around forever but I still love like and you know he was doing the Xbox when the connect came out he was driving burnout you know just with his hands with nothing going on and I like Jimmy Fallon so him and I are buds even though we've never met

43:53.151 --> 43:58.118
[SPEAKER_01]: He had Charlize there and on the other day, actually, honestly, it could have been like four years ago because they didn't look at the stamp.

43:58.158 --> 44:01.061
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, it showed up on my feed and so I clicked on it because they were talking about kids.

44:01.862 --> 44:08.071
[SPEAKER_01]: And the lingo, like they were talking about like how her kids talk to her and how like it's just a foreign language.

44:08.131 --> 44:10.914
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the time you finally figure out how your kids talk to you,

44:12.451 --> 44:12.911
[SPEAKER_01]: It's moved on.

44:13.072 --> 44:14.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody's watching like that anymore.

44:14.572 --> 44:16.333
[SPEAKER_01]: And so anyway, I go upstairs.

44:16.393 --> 44:21.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Oliver was just wondering where the count in the count tests were he didn't realize he didn't explore certain part of the map yet.

44:22.056 --> 44:26.398
[SPEAKER_01]: And so as I'm leaving him like so he's like, and dad, this is what I did.

44:26.418 --> 44:31.561
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he started off as the Ranger and all he has is movement speed and evasion right now.

44:32.161 --> 44:34.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, and so how are you finding your damage?

44:34.783 --> 44:37.144
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, oh, dad, a cook man, a cook.

44:38.665 --> 44:45.850
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm used to that one now, I'm used to that one, but it's just like, I don't want to be sounded like to our parents.

44:45.990 --> 44:51.995
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel like we made up words though that weren't what they were, but I feel like that's become more common.

44:59.910 --> 45:02.816
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's the same time I still have those habits.

45:02.836 --> 45:09.549
[SPEAKER_01]: We're from the like generation like like like like like I say like all the time and that came from his age

45:10.820 --> 45:13.561
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, maybe he's going to be cooking until he's in his thirties.

45:14.261 --> 45:34.408
[SPEAKER_01]: But a couple of the things that don't have that I'm surprised don't have stashes yet considering they came out in December are the like the inscribed ultimatums, the gin things like the two currency, the two quest currency items that you use for ascending or starting your ascension.

45:34.928 --> 45:35.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

45:35.148 --> 45:36.528
[SPEAKER_01]: That those don't even have spots.

45:37.329 --> 45:38.069
[SPEAKER_01]: I just wondered about.

45:38.609 --> 45:39.009
[SPEAKER_01]: And a dot.

45:39.550 --> 45:43.451
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure more of that stuff will come later on, but it is a little bit weird.

45:43.492 --> 45:52.956
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're at a good spot now compared to what they were because endgame was brutal when you didn't have the map tab and you didn't have all these other stash tabs to put stuff in.

45:52.996 --> 45:55.578
[SPEAKER_00]: You were just thrown it into a normal one.

45:55.838 --> 45:56.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

45:56.578 --> 46:09.722
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the reason I was talking about the XP penalty, a tiny bit, or observing comments regarding the XP penalty a lot of people that hadn't played path one, or of course playing path two, and they just find an XP penalty extremely punishing.

46:10.742 --> 46:15.523
[SPEAKER_01]: And normally, and I even had responses to a couple of them like, hey, you know, that's just a path of Excel thing.

46:15.583 --> 46:17.824
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the standard version of the game is harsh.

46:18.762 --> 46:21.525
[SPEAKER_01]: The hardcore version doesn't penalize you.

46:21.545 --> 46:22.946
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you're dead.

46:23.507 --> 46:25.128
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it always start fresh type of thing.

46:25.168 --> 46:33.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's just that extent of extreme, but then I was thinking with the portal penalty that exists, right?

46:33.857 --> 46:41.164
[SPEAKER_01]: The more difficult you make a map of you as portals you get to the point where you're hoping to run maps where you don't even get to revive attempt.

46:41.605 --> 46:41.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

46:42.286 --> 46:49.351
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, all of a sudden I started thinking, like, is that combination of both losing XP and the investment of the portal?

46:49.691 --> 46:50.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that too much?

46:51.072 --> 46:57.476
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that maybe Path of Exile would still be an enjoyable game without an XP penalty?

46:58.037 --> 46:59.698
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they have the portal penalty?

47:00.298 --> 47:11.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason that I was thinking that is there's the inconsistency now between the campaign and endgame, where when you die in the campaign, the area, the enemies reset, whereas all of a sudden it doesn't endgame.

47:11.705 --> 47:14.987
[SPEAKER_01]: There's this magical twist of how the realities work, right?

47:15.588 --> 47:17.929
[SPEAKER_01]: But then you go and then there's another inconsistency.

47:17.989 --> 47:24.714
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a very user-friendly inconsistency, but then you get, I'm earning XP all the time, and now all of a sudden I'm not earning XP for this boss.

47:25.374 --> 47:25.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

47:26.155 --> 47:38.683
[SPEAKER_01]: So with these little inconsistencies in the world, maybe removing the XP penalty because you have the portal system is enough of a penalty in reward and it removes the inconsistency.

47:39.270 --> 47:41.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I feel about it, but it was a thought that I was thinking about.

47:42.313 --> 47:42.794
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm here.

47:43.374 --> 47:59.010
[SPEAKER_00]: So the one thing I will say with regards to the boss side of it is when you gain X, when you don't gain XP from the boss and you can go back through the portals to me, those are only in pinnacle boss scenarios that they do that.

47:59.191 --> 48:01.973
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that that's good because it allows you to learn the boss.

48:02.614 --> 48:05.596
[SPEAKER_00]: without the risk of XP or just a single portal.

48:05.997 --> 48:09.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't mind that you don't get XP during those fights.

48:09.759 --> 48:21.648
[SPEAKER_00]: The penalty on XP death thing, it's so weird because it's never been a thought for me, like that's just, it's just the way path has always worked once you hit, you know, once hit merciless in the back in the day.

48:21.728 --> 48:26.932
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, once you hit, you know, you finished the last Katava fight in Path of Excel one.

48:27.472 --> 48:29.794
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when you're getting the ten percent previous, it's five percent.

48:31.055 --> 48:36.219
[SPEAKER_00]: It's never bothered me until I'm way, way late, you know, like, ninety six, ninety seven.

48:36.299 --> 48:41.602
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's only bothered me because then I'm like, fuck, that was like two hours of time that got me that XP.

48:42.303 --> 48:43.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's bad though.

48:43.904 --> 48:47.686
[SPEAKER_00]: I like I, I don't like it, but at least you don't do level.

48:47.746 --> 48:50.909
[SPEAKER_00]: If you do level that have a, I'd be like losing my freaking mind.

48:53.330 --> 48:59.116
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like there has to be a penalty to death outside of just, you know, that sucks.

48:59.136 --> 49:00.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have to run back through it.

49:02.179 --> 49:03.540
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know.

49:03.580 --> 49:06.483
[SPEAKER_00]: And the XP penalties never really bothered me.

49:06.563 --> 49:12.949
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I would like it to scale slightly maybe as I got higher level so that it's not maybe not quite ten percent.

49:13.449 --> 49:22.655
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, once you hit a certain, because just because it is so much time, but also, okay, you lost ten percent, like buckle up and get back out there and keep going.

49:22.936 --> 49:26.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Because especially because I love leveling, love it.

49:26.598 --> 49:30.461
[SPEAKER_00]: I love getting a new passive skill point to spend.

49:30.881 --> 49:38.546
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, once you hit a certain level, gears no matter, it's not dependent on, you know, you don't have to be a certain level to hit to you certain gear, any of that stuff, right?

49:38.606 --> 49:40.428
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just that extra passive point.

49:41.008 --> 49:52.051
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a maker break for most of the time for a build, so I don't know if the XP penalties never really bothered me with Path of Exile, but I've also never thought of it.

49:52.632 --> 49:54.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, I don't think that's until recently.

49:54.952 --> 50:00.074
[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't have crossed my mind either if people that hadn't played Path One started complying about it in Path Two.

50:01.114 --> 50:08.860
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just something I was thinking about because the portal, they're just with those inconsistencies I mentioned, but then the portal penalty, which is brand new.

50:08.920 --> 50:11.001
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, okay, well, where does hardcore go?

50:11.081 --> 50:13.543
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm always a fan of consistency, right?

50:13.563 --> 50:17.966
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was just trying to think, how could you keep it harsh while having consistency in the game?

50:19.207 --> 50:21.309
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with everything that you've said as well.

50:21.369 --> 50:22.770
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know where I stand on it.

50:23.355 --> 50:24.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the change to bosses.

50:25.176 --> 50:32.462
[SPEAKER_00]: For me personally, I love that they have made it so that I, and it's the same in Path of Exile One, I can go and do Eater of Worlds.

50:33.062 --> 50:35.884
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to gain XP, but I'm not going to lose XP.

50:36.105 --> 50:37.766
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can do that in the play.

50:38.086 --> 50:39.107
[SPEAKER_00]: It's in Path One as well.

50:39.187 --> 50:39.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool.

50:40.868 --> 50:47.013
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not a notification or anything which I don't care, but also I never went into do Eater of Worlds to level.

50:47.393 --> 50:49.455
[SPEAKER_00]: I never went in Eater of Worlds to get XP.

50:50.515 --> 50:57.820
[SPEAKER_00]: But the one nice thing now is what I used to have to do is make sure I level, then go and do the harder stuff that I wanted to do.

50:58.381 --> 50:59.742
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like that I don't have to do that.

50:59.942 --> 51:01.083
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's the same with path two.

51:01.163 --> 51:11.830
[SPEAKER_00]: I can go and do a harder pinnacle type boss to learn it and not be a risk of losing such a massive investment at my time with regards to losing XP.

51:11.870 --> 51:14.011
[SPEAKER_00]: So that to me is a great change.

51:14.432 --> 51:15.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy that they made it.

51:16.333 --> 51:18.114
[SPEAKER_00]: with regards to in general losing XP.

51:18.294 --> 51:29.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I, to me, it's just part of the game and it sucks and I don't mind that part sucking like it's just, you know, I kick myself when it happens and I move on to the next map.

51:31.239 --> 51:32.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I just got used to it, maybe.

51:33.140 --> 51:37.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd prefer that over losing my character a thousand times over.

51:38.502 --> 51:39.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I'm not hardcore player.

51:39.763 --> 51:40.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate hardcore.

51:40.583 --> 51:44.565
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't even tell you how much fun this path of XI one league has been because of

51:44.985 --> 51:47.749
[SPEAKER_00]: not playing hardcore like we were playing in the private league and pause.

51:47.809 --> 51:53.196
[SPEAKER_00]: Those two things alone have made it just super enjoyable for me.

51:53.789 --> 51:54.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.

51:54.269 --> 51:54.830
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really glad.

51:54.890 --> 51:59.414
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, we're already like so far in and I didn't mean to talk so long about anything.

51:59.514 --> 52:00.856
[SPEAKER_01]: So tell me about your week, man.

52:01.416 --> 52:02.177
[SPEAKER_01]: I play.

52:02.557 --> 52:03.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've been trying to rest.

52:04.039 --> 52:04.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

52:04.599 --> 52:12.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we already did that satisfied my mom and family and they haven't listened for this far in any way.

52:12.627 --> 52:15.029
[SPEAKER_00]: I played, I was playing the Visserie Glad.

52:15.049 --> 52:17.271
[SPEAKER_00]: The lead build, which was a lot of fun.

52:17.291 --> 52:19.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I got that character to ninety four.

52:19.873 --> 52:37.401
[SPEAKER_00]: had some awesome help from people in twenty one twenty one and discord helped me figure the build out and how can i make it work and then i had uh... misdeventus was actually a huge help to me this week with uh... figure you know or helping me get void stones like you know you get the war for void stones and two of the void stones to me

52:39.222 --> 52:44.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think one's Maven, which I will never do that one myself, because I hate that fight.

52:45.010 --> 52:55.203
[SPEAKER_00]: The other one I can do, which is Uber Elder, that one I can do the fight, but I don't like the process to get to it, like buying the things to go do the different bosses.

52:56.965 --> 53:00.588
[SPEAKER_00]: But so I had people help me get the voidstone, so that was great.

53:00.628 --> 53:01.929
[SPEAKER_00]: I had my voidstones all done.

53:01.989 --> 53:03.250
[SPEAKER_00]: I finished out my Atlas.

53:03.370 --> 53:05.652
[SPEAKER_00]: I got all of my stuff.

53:05.932 --> 53:08.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Got the character in the ninety four, but I was doing, I don't remember what I was doing.

53:08.734 --> 53:11.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have been during, ah, man, I can't remember.

53:11.396 --> 53:15.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you know you get six maps, lot of ice is now in POE one up to six?

53:15.620 --> 53:18.902
[SPEAKER_00]: So you start with four, then you get five, then you can get six.

53:19.523 --> 53:20.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not know that.

53:20.363 --> 53:24.387
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember that coming in, but I get to tier seventeen, doing a tier seventeen gets your

53:25.167 --> 53:34.150
[SPEAKER_00]: Six slot because he message me is like do you give your t seventeen for the six slot and I'm like six lot of what he's like map device I'm like what?

53:34.850 --> 53:38.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I would I haven't even used all the slots, but I was like yeah, I'll take it.

53:38.131 --> 53:40.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Please pop into a t seventeen.

53:41.352 --> 53:42.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I was watching him

53:42.932 --> 53:43.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

53:43.832 --> 53:44.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you can't hear it.

53:45.073 --> 53:46.774
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, if your windows open.

53:46.914 --> 53:47.394
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't hear it.

53:47.434 --> 53:51.376
[SPEAKER_01]: You're doing, yeah, but now that you're doing the majority of the talking, I don't know if it's something they can easily.

53:51.436 --> 53:52.997
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get to hear my worldly bird.

53:53.057 --> 53:53.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not standing up.

53:54.277 --> 53:56.939
[SPEAKER_00]: So listen, if you hear the worldly bird, you get the worldly bird.

53:57.519 --> 53:58.439
[SPEAKER_00]: My freaking neighbor.

53:58.759 --> 54:00.220
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, I should do that this summer.

54:00.380 --> 54:03.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Go up on his C if he's like, Hey, do you want some help with your roof?

54:04.624 --> 54:06.686
[SPEAKER_01]: You get those from killing the boss.

54:06.706 --> 54:06.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi.

54:07.066 --> 54:07.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

54:07.527 --> 54:08.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I have returned.

54:08.968 --> 54:10.849
[SPEAKER_01]: I beat up your neighbor.

54:11.410 --> 54:12.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice job with the word.

54:12.151 --> 54:12.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Libert.

54:13.091 --> 54:14.192
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's why it went quite.

54:14.212 --> 54:16.574
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember where I was.

54:17.215 --> 54:18.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so I got a bunch of help.

54:18.156 --> 54:21.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, when when you was helping me, I was like, what is that?

54:21.639 --> 54:24.501
[SPEAKER_00]: There were so many times when I was doing masks like unique maps with people.

54:24.601 --> 54:24.902
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like,

54:25.822 --> 54:29.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody's skills look so much cooler than mine.

54:29.725 --> 54:34.568
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was at the point, too, where I was like, do I want to spend currency to improve this guy?

54:34.588 --> 54:38.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's a slow boss or like really slow boss or it's decent.

54:38.931 --> 54:39.792
[SPEAKER_00]: It was decent for mapping.

54:39.812 --> 54:40.833
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not going to die.

54:40.933 --> 54:41.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's insane.

54:42.934 --> 54:46.357
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, when you're playing a retaliate build it, obviously needs to survive and take hits.

54:47.297 --> 54:48.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Dying was not a problem.

54:48.358 --> 54:49.079
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not going to die.

54:49.559 --> 54:53.382
[SPEAKER_00]: But I see all these people in their skills and they all look so much funner and

54:54.042 --> 54:56.244
[SPEAKER_00]: cooler and flashier and faster.

54:56.264 --> 55:02.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I was playing at one point and I asked him to vent to some like, what do you, what is the skill?

55:02.550 --> 55:03.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, what are you playing with?

55:04.212 --> 55:11.178
[SPEAKER_00]: And as soon as he said Mule near, watch, I loved that I remember making a build with that like years ago.

55:11.198 --> 55:14.081
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a unique mace.

55:14.421 --> 55:15.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Scepter mace mace.

55:17.644 --> 55:19.145
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, what, what is this?

55:19.245 --> 55:20.506
[SPEAKER_00]: What is this that you're doing with it?

55:20.586 --> 55:28.852
[SPEAKER_00]: And then people had also talked there's to have the mercenaries right now and they come with you and there's there's the ability to like kind of abuse your mercenary a little bit.

55:29.473 --> 55:33.516
[SPEAKER_00]: And so what a lot of people are doing is you play if you're playing a lightning build you can put on.

55:34.310 --> 55:42.114
[SPEAKER_00]: The Dorianny's chess piece, which says that your Lightning Resist is what enemies around you, Lightning Resist is.

55:42.634 --> 55:57.662
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you pump your mercenaries, Lightning Resist to like minus two hundred, that means that every enemy around you automatically has minus two hundred percent Lightning Resist, but even if it's a mercenary dice, mercenary doesn't die, almost at all an end game.

55:57.963 --> 56:02.365
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very rare for once you've, they die a lot while you're going through campaign and early maps.

56:02.905 --> 56:08.469
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you get a, like, higher tier guy, it's odd because even with minus two hundred lightning, they still seem to do.

56:09.010 --> 56:11.772
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I don't really know what the, I don't know.

56:11.812 --> 56:13.994
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't seem to function as a normal character does.

56:14.574 --> 56:19.938
[SPEAKER_00]: But so anyway, you can play a lightning build and then, you know, really abuse this minus two hundred percent lightning risk.

56:19.978 --> 56:23.601
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I decided I was going to play a new character.

56:24.141 --> 56:25.703
[SPEAKER_00]: So I started role in a Templar.

56:26.323 --> 56:26.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Sweet.

56:27.504 --> 56:28.385
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're using Miumio?

56:29.085 --> 56:32.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we can't use it till like sixty and there were some other stuff that he suggested.

56:32.267 --> 56:40.373
[SPEAKER_00]: He helped me a lot with like figuring out how I build it and what they use and here's the suggested items that you're going to need and he even gave me a couple items which was amazing.

56:41.054 --> 56:49.180
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was so I'm going through the campaign and I was like, well, I was leveling the Templar with, I'm going to blind crate now.

56:49.860 --> 56:52.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the brands, uh, it's a fire base brand.

56:53.042 --> 56:53.442
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome.

56:53.482 --> 56:54.523
[SPEAKER_00]: It does like an explosion.

56:54.543 --> 56:55.523
[SPEAKER_00]: I was leveling with that.

56:55.643 --> 57:03.948
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I got to the point where I was at a high enough level where my mercenary could use the stuff that I had gotten ahead of time for what a mercenary would try.

57:03.988 --> 57:07.550
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, maybe I'll switch over to a like the lightning brand stormmage.

57:07.590 --> 57:08.070
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's called

57:08.757 --> 57:12.099
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was leveling with that and it was going okay, but it had definitely slowed down.

57:12.159 --> 57:13.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh, I'll just stick with it.

57:14.181 --> 57:25.288
[SPEAKER_00]: I was in act nine and you know at the end of act nine, you have to do you get to it's it's where a sin lets you into the belly of the beast and so you go through and you have to fight the three bosses.

57:25.308 --> 57:27.449
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to fight like, um, I'm not

57:29.010 --> 57:29.371
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is it?

57:29.391 --> 57:30.252
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the three.

57:31.132 --> 57:32.694
[SPEAKER_00]: There's the lightning chick.

57:33.395 --> 57:34.757
[SPEAKER_00]: There's the chaos dude.

57:34.877 --> 57:36.198
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's the big chick.

57:36.739 --> 57:37.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I got to that point.

57:38.020 --> 57:47.371
[SPEAKER_00]: But what happened is as I was approaching that door, my mercenary died and the responding with the mercenary is they can't respond in the same zone.

57:47.971 --> 57:48.852
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I

57:49.473 --> 57:51.154
[SPEAKER_00]: The mercenary was all my damage.

57:51.214 --> 57:56.398
[SPEAKER_00]: My damage was coming one hundred percent from the fact that everything around me had minus lightning resist.

57:56.418 --> 58:03.384
[SPEAKER_00]: My storm, whatever brand was doing, it was tickling people if he wasn't there.

58:03.484 --> 58:07.287
[SPEAKER_00]: But the problem is, I don't know if you remember, but by the time you get to that point,

58:07.947 --> 58:13.329
[SPEAKER_00]: Your soonest waypoint is two zones back, like the whole following through the body.

58:13.389 --> 58:15.089
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no waypoint at all through that.

58:15.489 --> 58:21.351
[SPEAKER_00]: So that meant that if I wanted to redo it and get my merc back, I had to go back and redo those two zones.

58:21.391 --> 58:30.874
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like son of a. So I was embarrassed and humble and I looked on my friends group and I messaged scoring them like I have an embarrassing thing to ask for help with.

58:32.291 --> 58:35.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't finish this stupid act because I can't kill anything.

58:36.452 --> 58:39.513
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's Gordon was good enough to come through and thank you, Scott.

58:39.934 --> 58:42.134
[SPEAKER_00]: I did actually get to the boss.

58:42.354 --> 58:46.496
[SPEAKER_00]: I finished the three zones without the merc, and I was like, this is painful.

58:46.616 --> 58:51.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this, the boss fights were taking me ten, fifteen minutes because it was just so little.

58:52.178 --> 58:55.539
[SPEAKER_00]: So to do the actual boss, I was like, I can't do this, please help.

58:56.459 --> 59:01.501
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, so I'm leveling up my, uh, to another one.

59:02.407 --> 59:02.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

59:03.427 --> 59:04.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Only one.

59:04.108 --> 59:04.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

59:05.228 --> 59:05.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And sneeze.

59:06.308 --> 59:06.889
[SPEAKER_00]: And sneeze.

59:06.989 --> 59:07.969
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't happen often.

59:07.989 --> 59:09.570
[SPEAKER_00]: The other one's going to surprise you.

59:09.590 --> 59:09.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

59:09.970 --> 59:11.811
[SPEAKER_00]: One and done.

59:11.831 --> 59:13.831
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes one playing this character now.

59:13.911 --> 59:14.932
[SPEAKER_00]: It's ninety two.

59:14.972 --> 59:17.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I got up to ninety two with this one.

59:17.533 --> 59:17.653
[SPEAKER_00]: And

59:18.393 --> 59:18.853
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fun.

59:18.873 --> 59:19.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm having a good time.

59:21.774 --> 59:23.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I get to play with my settlement.

59:23.955 --> 59:31.998
[SPEAKER_00]: If I want to go to my settlement, and I can send shipments, if I want to send shipments, and the leagues actually a lot of fun.

59:32.018 --> 59:39.682
[SPEAKER_00]: I did finish the whole storyline with going through meeting Egon or whatever his name is, Elgin Elden.

59:41.082 --> 59:42.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Did his whole thing follow that?

59:43.383 --> 59:52.045
[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually, I'm curious if they're trying to, or if they're working their way to where it ties into the story of POE-II, because POE-II happens five years later.

59:53.025 --> 59:54.045
[SPEAKER_00]: Twenty or thirty, but yeah.

59:54.405 --> 01:00:04.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, whatever it is, can I say something at this point that might be like, I feel like I can say something spoilery towards the end of act to the, to the, to the seekers of the Atlas?

01:00:04.608 --> 01:00:04.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I?

01:00:05.415 --> 01:00:08.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for people that don't want a spoiler move ahead.

01:00:08.278 --> 01:00:21.570
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't finished Path of Exile one's thing, the only thing, maybe it's not a spoiler, but at the end of it, because you're going through Zon as like life, like you're seeing these little flashbacks of hers a kid and the shape or is it just kind of like little cutscenes or what?

01:00:21.590 --> 01:00:26.195
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like when you're going in towards, there's the new three pinnacle bosses when you go into those zones.

01:00:26.755 --> 01:00:36.602
[SPEAKER_00]: You're seeing like almost like a shadow or not a shadow, but like a mirage of her and her dad and the problems that they're having and how the dad's treating her and stuff.

01:00:37.143 --> 01:00:39.785
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you fight the boss and then you know you move your way through.

01:00:39.805 --> 01:00:41.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's awesome.

01:00:41.566 --> 01:00:41.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

01:00:42.006 --> 01:00:42.647
[SPEAKER_00]: It is really cool.

01:00:43.247 --> 01:00:52.633
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at the very end, when you're dealing with and talking to Zana, though, she says that she has no choice, she has to destroy the Atlas.

01:00:53.434 --> 01:00:59.958
[SPEAKER_00]: And in fact, it's so cool because when you open your Atlas after you've done that part, the Atlas actually changes.

01:01:00.058 --> 01:01:08.604
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I've still got my Atlas of all the maps right going up, but it's like burnt and there's like pedals going across them, like the red pedals.

01:01:09.264 --> 01:01:09.865
[SPEAKER_00]: So cool.

01:01:10.585 --> 01:01:13.427
[SPEAKER_00]: It just made me curious though, because the Atlas doesn't exist in puey too.

01:01:13.967 --> 01:01:16.528
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no more Atlas in puey too.

01:01:16.568 --> 01:01:23.832
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, I wonder if there's somehow something happens with her, because we don't have the Atlas in Path of Excel too.

01:01:24.332 --> 01:01:29.274
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, she was trying to destroy the Atlas prior to this one though, too, right?

01:01:29.314 --> 01:01:30.775
[SPEAKER_01]: But then she ended up disappearing.

01:01:31.435 --> 01:01:32.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, she took off.

01:01:32.776 --> 01:01:34.497
[SPEAKER_00]: So the storyline was really cool.

01:01:35.057 --> 01:01:35.818
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, um,

01:01:36.678 --> 01:01:37.179
[SPEAKER_00]: That is neat.

01:01:37.499 --> 01:01:38.260
[SPEAKER_00]: So I finished all those.

01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:43.107
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't really like they added in the memory shards for crafting.

01:01:43.808 --> 01:01:44.949
[SPEAKER_00]: I tried them there.

01:01:46.011 --> 01:01:51.878
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't I didn't see the value in it because you're talking like crafting with currency crafting.

01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:52.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you okay?

01:01:53.240 --> 01:01:55.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, it's quick.

01:01:55.061 --> 01:01:57.142
[SPEAKER_00]: You're having like a need to call nine.

01:01:57.182 --> 01:01:57.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

01:01:58.002 --> 01:01:58.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:01:58.362 --> 01:01:59.603
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't know.

01:01:59.683 --> 01:02:00.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

01:02:00.383 --> 01:02:02.904
[SPEAKER_01]: If both start doing it, then yes, please.

01:02:04.045 --> 01:02:06.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Put it just one eye does it, then you're good.

01:02:06.406 --> 01:02:06.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Very good.

01:02:07.666 --> 01:02:08.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just look at your other eye.

01:02:12.188 --> 01:02:14.749
[SPEAKER_00]: So what was I finished it?

01:02:14.889 --> 01:02:18.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Did the Atlas squiggly mirror shard things?

01:02:18.767 --> 01:02:19.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't see the benefit.

01:02:20.007 --> 01:02:21.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't see the benefit.

01:02:21.288 --> 01:02:29.370
[SPEAKER_00]: It's cool on the map so you can get maps that have memory shards and they roll the T-Seventy and some of the T-Seventy modifiers and this so they give a much bigger value to the map.

01:02:29.690 --> 01:02:33.411
[SPEAKER_00]: But the actual items that drop, they don't, I don't know.

01:02:33.611 --> 01:02:40.153
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just maybe it's a hopeful thing on their end, but from my perspective, maybe if I'm slamming an exalt, then it's good.

01:02:40.253 --> 01:02:46.555
[SPEAKER_00]: But in general, starting with an item from scratch, I try to start with an item from scratch and maybe you have to get items that have like,

01:02:47.095 --> 01:03:00.881
[SPEAKER_00]: massive amounts of memory shards, but to throw, if I get a base type that I want and let's say it's got sixty memory shards on it, to throw a transmit on it is eating up ten of those, eight to ten of those.

01:03:01.581 --> 01:03:06.603
[SPEAKER_00]: So I better hit something really good with that transmute because if I always sudden need to use

01:03:07.944 --> 01:03:22.102
[SPEAKER_00]: an alteration on it like my my items dead before I even get to the point where I'm actually trying to finish off the item so I didn't see that I don't see the value I'm sure missing something but on the map site it's been fun to roll the maps with higher stuff but yeah it's

01:03:22.723 --> 01:03:23.204
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been good.

01:03:23.224 --> 01:03:24.425
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been having a good time with it.

01:03:24.985 --> 01:03:27.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the, uh, straighten that in there.

01:03:27.287 --> 01:03:30.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I like the, I like the, I like the mercenary stuff.

01:03:31.431 --> 01:03:37.096
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, the, I'm trying to think of anything that's new though, you know, a lot of it is still just path of Excel.

01:03:37.176 --> 01:03:39.398
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think there's something comfortable playing it.

01:03:39.718 --> 01:03:41.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's just, I know it.

01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:42.121
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's fun.

01:03:42.581 --> 01:03:46.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm at the point now where I can blast through maps and I feel like I'm strong.

01:03:46.425 --> 01:03:47.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I still have the same stuff.

01:03:47.686 --> 01:03:48.607
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't see shit.

01:03:49.147 --> 01:04:07.524
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you know, I don't die very often, but there are times when you do die often or so when you die, comma, often you have no idea why, but that's, that's just part of Path of Exile, like I can't sometimes figure out like did I get hit by something massive, I must have missed whatever that was.

01:04:08.225 --> 01:04:10.746
[SPEAKER_00]: But in general, it's been, it's been good.

01:04:10.866 --> 01:04:18.027
[SPEAKER_00]: I can feel that I will get back to that point that I always got to with Path of Excel, which is just not bored, but just monotony.

01:04:18.107 --> 01:04:26.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you're just, there's not a, I like when there's a goal for whatever I'm trying to reach or attain or I'm trying to get a certain bill together.

01:04:26.169 --> 01:04:29.490
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to do a certain boss, but then you get there and you're like, okay.

01:04:30.050 --> 01:04:31.230
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll probably wait till the next league.

01:04:31.290 --> 01:04:33.391
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not there yet, but I can feel it.

01:04:33.471 --> 01:04:34.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I can feel it creeping in.

01:04:35.472 --> 01:04:37.452
[SPEAKER_01]: Which means it's just around the river bend.

01:04:37.733 --> 01:04:41.474
[SPEAKER_01]: So... Can be Age of Empires?

01:04:41.874 --> 01:04:42.734
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I would do.

01:04:43.194 --> 01:04:43.534
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.

01:04:43.554 --> 01:04:46.355
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I had a still, I still have an inch to play.

01:04:47.156 --> 01:04:47.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Age of Empires?

01:04:48.576 --> 01:04:49.776
[SPEAKER_00]: No, space engineers.

01:04:51.577 --> 01:04:55.801
[SPEAKER_01]: But you can play space engineers with me.

01:04:56.122 --> 01:05:00.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I could if you got it on PC, but oh, I don't have a PC.

01:05:00.226 --> 01:05:00.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Just I know.

01:05:00.746 --> 01:05:01.247
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

01:05:01.327 --> 01:05:02.828
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a PC just for a while.

01:05:02.949 --> 01:05:07.013
[SPEAKER_01]: I am lucky and fortunate that my wife let's me record.

01:05:07.433 --> 01:05:09.075
[SPEAKER_01]: She's worth it twice in counting on her.

01:05:09.095 --> 01:05:09.715
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

01:05:09.735 --> 01:05:10.096
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

01:05:13.619 --> 01:05:17.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but anyway, but he's worth getting to work lady.

01:05:18.564 --> 01:05:19.805
[SPEAKER_00]: Path one I've had a good time with it.

01:05:19.905 --> 01:05:21.406
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been enjoying it.

01:05:21.526 --> 01:05:25.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I like I like the vibe of the people in twenty one twenty one.

01:05:25.550 --> 01:05:32.175
[SPEAKER_00]: So it makes it, you know, like you're having conversations and watching conversation like that actually is quite fun for me.

01:05:32.836 --> 01:05:36.860
[SPEAKER_00]: And currently that's where everybody is because it's new, it's fresh.

01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:39.781
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it's been fun.

01:05:40.962 --> 01:05:47.004
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really have any I can't say that there's any like big ups or big downs like I don't have any cons.

01:05:47.044 --> 01:05:50.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean the stuff there's nothing new that bothers me right?

01:05:50.466 --> 01:05:55.168
[SPEAKER_00]: It's if anything bothered me before it's still there and I'm fine with it because I've played it forever

01:05:56.009 --> 01:05:57.290
[SPEAKER_00]: And the new stuff was cool.

01:05:57.370 --> 01:06:04.438
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like the experience of the secrets of the Alice and seeing these bosses and seeing the sort of the storyline that was going along with sauna.

01:06:04.939 --> 01:06:05.680
[SPEAKER_00]: But then that's it.

01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:10.245
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have any itch to go back because you can redo them as you play through.

01:06:10.285 --> 01:06:11.887
[SPEAKER_00]: You can get new shit.

01:06:11.907 --> 01:06:13.089
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember what they're called.

01:06:13.610 --> 01:06:16.373
[SPEAKER_00]: But you can re-go through those bosses, but it's been good.

01:06:17.475 --> 01:06:18.296
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been good.

01:06:18.596 --> 01:06:18.976
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been good.

01:06:18.996 --> 01:06:22.100
[SPEAKER_01]: And the game stuff is so exciting to share.

01:06:22.140 --> 01:06:29.809
[SPEAKER_01]: When they would actually do their annual and game revamp, which ended up being like every two years, but we got excited for it annually used to be annual.

01:06:30.470 --> 01:06:32.932
[SPEAKER_01]: So cool to go through and change stuff.

01:06:32.992 --> 01:06:38.958
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously we're still big fans of the way that it used to be in modifying the influence of the elder and the shaper.

01:06:39.818 --> 01:06:46.364
[SPEAKER_01]: That was probably our our favorite, but it's still so exciting no matter which direction they choose to go with the story.

01:06:46.384 --> 01:06:48.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the little cut scenes that you said that they added.

01:06:48.686 --> 01:06:49.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's really cool.

01:06:50.097 --> 01:06:54.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the process is a lot of fun.

01:06:54.778 --> 01:06:56.959
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they've done a really good job with it.

01:06:57.199 --> 01:06:59.580
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a thing I was going to say, but I've lost it.

01:06:59.600 --> 01:07:00.460
[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.

01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:02.860
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me do a parenting thing quick on a nap.

01:07:03.801 --> 01:07:06.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Add some Xbox time for my kids here.

01:07:06.221 --> 01:07:06.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Just hang on.

01:07:06.922 --> 01:07:14.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll throw one thing out there that I was going to say is the one thing I definitely did notice when I compare it to PoE two.

01:07:14.284 --> 01:07:16.044
[SPEAKER_00]: And I may have mentioned this in the past.

01:07:16.084 --> 01:07:17.544
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember, but the

01:07:20.125 --> 01:07:29.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Excitement of leveling is still better in Path of Exile One because I think the passive tree is just so good in Path of Exile One.

01:07:29.949 --> 01:07:33.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there are noticeable changes to my builds.

01:07:34.430 --> 01:07:37.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Strength wise, I feel the change.

01:07:37.151 --> 01:07:40.373
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like obviously you're not feeling it when you're doing travel nodes and that's

01:07:41.433 --> 01:07:51.957
[SPEAKER_00]: than the nature of it, you know, a travel node doesn't have a huge benefit to your build, but you're reaching good things for a build much easier and path of Excel one than path of Excel two.

01:07:52.037 --> 01:07:59.059
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and that's also just the nature of them having ten years to build out that pass of tree ever since QE two.

01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:00.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I totally agree.

01:08:00.961 --> 01:08:07.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the path, I agree that the path one tree is completely superior to path two.

01:08:08.269 --> 01:08:15.998
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the path two tree is as bad as people say it is because monsters need rebalancing and skills need rebalancing.

01:08:16.098 --> 01:08:19.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think like these nodes that you're getting in path two, they're strong.

01:08:20.243 --> 01:08:22.985
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're only strong if your skill is strong.

01:08:23.005 --> 01:08:25.627
[SPEAKER_01]: They're only strong if your supports are strong.

01:08:25.647 --> 01:08:30.671
[SPEAKER_01]: They're only strong if the enemies are balanced for a good state for where you're at with the game.

01:08:30.691 --> 01:08:31.191
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

01:08:31.211 --> 01:08:31.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it.

01:08:31.912 --> 01:08:33.653
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a big puzzle that goes together.

01:08:34.053 --> 01:08:35.514
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do still feel like

01:08:37.336 --> 01:08:40.638
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a lot of options in path to.

01:08:41.819 --> 01:08:52.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if I find that I'm doing a different character, I'm still taking a lot of the same nodes and I'm starting at that north part of the tree or the east side of the tree.

01:08:53.266 --> 01:08:55.728
[SPEAKER_01]: I still find that there's still a little too much redundancy.

01:08:57.783 --> 01:08:58.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.

01:08:58.024 --> 01:09:14.716
[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I was going to say with regards to what you were saying, yeah, pass of trees is if what I feel like though is if I take a level ninety character in path of Excel one and a level ninety character in passive path of Excel two and I go on to I don't care what website I'm building a tree.

01:09:15.416 --> 01:09:29.747
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I'm going to see more of an impact or it's going to feel like more of an impact building out that path of Excel one tree at level ninety them path of Excel two regardless of I do agree with you skills into a just bottom enemies need to adjust but I just feel like

01:09:30.668 --> 01:09:48.826
[SPEAKER_00]: I will hit more stuff that will feel beneficial to my build, whereas in Path of Exile II, I felt like quite often, yes, there were some great nodes, but by the time I took those, I was stuck with where to go, because I was not going to reach anything else that was going to be beneficial or I was taking sort of just milder

01:09:49.807 --> 01:09:51.369
[SPEAKER_00]: things that would help out my build.

01:09:51.469 --> 01:09:56.174
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and I know that they just need more time to cook as people as the kids would say.

01:09:56.434 --> 01:09:57.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I got it in there.

01:09:58.997 --> 01:10:02.962
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't not like the path of Excel to skill tree.

01:10:03.042 --> 01:10:06.305
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that the path of Excel one is just better.

01:10:06.465 --> 01:10:09.769
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just I feel it more when I'm playing my character than I do.

01:10:10.954 --> 01:10:12.135
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I agree.

01:10:12.175 --> 01:10:33.917
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's funny isn't that there's just not enough options for wanting to invest in something like I find that once you're you kind of too short on options like so if I'm doing it's because they took life out maybe that's a reason too because there were there is a lot of good stuff life related in puie one

01:10:35.259 --> 01:10:39.043
[SPEAKER_00]: that is kind of lacking those same options in puey too.

01:10:39.743 --> 01:10:44.227
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think it would give you, okay, well, we've removed all these life clusters.

01:10:44.328 --> 01:10:46.229
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we can add more.

01:10:46.249 --> 01:10:47.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they just now take it.

01:10:47.350 --> 01:10:47.571
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:10:48.311 --> 01:10:51.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, but I mean, the trio is already seems very full.

01:10:51.334 --> 01:10:53.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they have too many mechanics, right?

01:10:53.716 --> 01:10:57.219
[SPEAKER_01]: And so or too many different tags, which you don't think would be a problem.

01:10:57.260 --> 01:10:58.561
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would sure hope it isn't.

01:10:58.641 --> 01:10:59.542
[SPEAKER_01]: But then, you know, you have

01:10:59.982 --> 01:11:25.822
[SPEAKER_01]: clusters for all of these different types of mechanics and tags and so now all of a sudden it's like your tree is full but if you're you know you only have like three clusters to invest in for this kind of damage or this kind of defense you know what I mean so I don't know like I mean of secondary subject but the fact that armor doesn't really work really well really changes everything because like this is how we want though

01:11:26.432 --> 01:11:30.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm still works in Path of Excel one though.

01:11:31.277 --> 01:11:32.018
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just stupid.

01:11:32.798 --> 01:11:39.385
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what you're getting into, but no, but what I'm saying is like, it the values in Path to are totally different.

01:11:39.665 --> 01:11:42.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's still just a complete trash thing to use.

01:11:42.428 --> 01:11:44.750
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just better than completely useless.

01:11:45.111 --> 01:11:45.991
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I'm saying is like,

01:11:46.812 --> 01:11:49.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Just how characters invest in where you go.

01:11:49.174 --> 01:11:52.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, it's just, yes, I agree.

01:11:52.217 --> 01:11:52.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

01:11:52.658 --> 01:11:54.279
[SPEAKER_01]: It still needs a lot of work.

01:11:54.319 --> 01:12:05.490
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious how they're going to go about it, whether it's increasing values or increasing options or changing support rules or balance that.

01:12:05.510 --> 01:12:07.732
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's a lot of fingers.

01:12:08.413 --> 01:12:11.554
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'll be excited when Pewey two comes out with it.

01:12:11.854 --> 01:12:16.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's next update to get in there and see what they're, what they've been coming up with over this next little bit.

01:12:16.795 --> 01:12:19.756
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have enjoyed my time back in Path of Excel one.

01:12:20.596 --> 01:12:22.636
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been, it's been a lot of fun.

01:12:22.656 --> 01:12:28.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, and I was surprised that I was having fun given how much I played our privately in one because I had a ton of fun in the privately.

01:12:29.538 --> 01:12:31.659
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still enjoying the mapping.

01:12:31.719 --> 01:12:35.981
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got into Path of XO one secret of the Atlas very unwillingly.

01:12:36.061 --> 01:12:38.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I did it much more because we record a podcast.

01:12:38.362 --> 01:12:40.363
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I need to have something to talk about, purely one.

01:12:40.863 --> 01:12:46.806
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've really enjoyed now that I'm into it and playing it and, you know, the ease of playing another character.

01:12:46.886 --> 01:12:48.586
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw somebody with a cool build.

01:12:48.646 --> 01:12:49.947
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh, I want to try that.

01:12:50.507 --> 01:12:51.187
[SPEAKER_00]: No problem.

01:12:51.728 --> 01:12:52.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me a couple of hours.

01:12:52.948 --> 01:12:54.249
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to be into end game.

01:12:55.270 --> 01:12:59.899
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't exist in puey too, so that is a big driving force for me to stay in puey.

01:12:59.939 --> 01:13:01.402
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to just try new things out.

01:13:02.564 --> 01:13:04.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm really glad that you're enjoying it.

01:13:04.428 --> 01:13:06.271
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's fantastic.

01:13:06.898 --> 01:13:14.041
[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that I want before we sign off, I want GGG to now that they're doing four month releases, right?

01:13:14.542 --> 01:13:18.003
[SPEAKER_01]: Players that are playing both games, they get a game every two.

01:13:18.043 --> 01:13:18.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

01:13:18.223 --> 01:13:18.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

01:13:18.784 --> 01:13:20.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Then let's give them the benefit of Dota's going to happen.

01:13:21.225 --> 01:13:28.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know what they're working on on the beta while they're focusing on all this path of X all one stuff.

01:13:28.648 --> 01:13:31.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I want some posts as somebody that's excited for the beta.

01:13:32.610 --> 01:13:44.818
[SPEAKER_01]: And this isn't this is just being me being selfish, but I want to hear from GGG what progress has been made on Path of Excel too, while the community has been on Path of Excel want.

01:13:44.838 --> 01:13:45.358
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

01:13:45.378 --> 01:13:51.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I hope that the company is not like okay, we're not working on Path to while we're focusing on Path One.

01:13:51.381 --> 01:13:52.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're doing two months of Path Two.

01:13:52.942 --> 01:13:53.703
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we're doing Path.

01:13:54.003 --> 01:13:58.245
[SPEAKER_01]: like I'm as a as a as someone who's excited for the beta and progress for the beta.

01:13:58.385 --> 01:14:04.668
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious and I would like to know what kind of things they're working on while we one is the huge focus.

01:14:05.348 --> 01:14:06.349
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of want to see how they're doing it.

01:14:06.529 --> 01:14:12.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I would just have a curiosity not like a demand like this is something I expect it's just I'm curious and I'm excited and I hope.

01:14:12.772 --> 01:14:20.314
[SPEAKER_00]: I would bet that the moment POE-one came out, they mass amount of their staff was on POE-two.

01:14:21.714 --> 01:14:28.216
[SPEAKER_00]: I think POE-two, regardless of how successful POE-one is going right now and how, you know, that's where a lot of players are.

01:14:28.736 --> 01:14:31.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Path of XL-two is always going to be the focus.

01:14:31.877 --> 01:14:34.778
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the direction that they're trying to go with the company.

01:14:35.418 --> 01:14:41.663
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would imagine that they've had still, just a big bulk of their people on PWE-II.

01:14:41.783 --> 01:14:48.929
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think it's insane for them to say they're going to do four month cycles every time they say a number, I'm like, don't say numbers.

01:14:50.009 --> 01:14:51.711
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly don't see them doing that.

01:14:51.751 --> 01:14:58.156
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see that being long-term that they'll be able to pull four month league cycles for both games.

01:14:58.776 --> 01:15:02.161
[SPEAKER_00]: But I guess we'll see, I mean, at least there's a, they did it to themselves.

01:15:02.221 --> 01:15:04.644
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a, there's a timestamp now on these things.

01:15:04.704 --> 01:15:09.390
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least we know every, whatever two months, you're going to say that's insane to me.

01:15:09.490 --> 01:15:13.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Every two months, you see a cycle between the two different ones that's, there's no way.

01:15:13.395 --> 01:15:14.256
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of what I'm saying.

01:15:14.276 --> 01:15:16.739
[SPEAKER_01]: Like sure as soon as path one gets released.

01:15:17.440 --> 01:15:27.788
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, a huge dump of employees go back to path two, but then, you know, I hopefully there's a huge amount of people at stay on path two once path two gets released.

01:15:28.208 --> 01:15:30.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you'll get to see what they're working on when they release it.

01:15:31.923 --> 01:15:32.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:15:33.443 --> 01:15:33.724
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

01:15:33.764 --> 01:15:34.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's wrap this up.

01:15:35.184 --> 01:15:36.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, your eyes twitching.

01:15:36.424 --> 01:15:37.025
[SPEAKER_00]: You got kids.

01:15:37.085 --> 01:15:37.605
[SPEAKER_00]: I got kids.

01:15:37.845 --> 01:15:38.825
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's wrap this up forever.

01:15:38.865 --> 01:15:39.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Excel, two, ninety nine.

01:15:39.765 --> 01:15:40.646
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just naked tags.

01:15:41.146 --> 01:15:42.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm Tyler record of days.

01:15:42.606 --> 01:15:43.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Patrons will have your faces.

01:15:43.706 --> 01:15:44.547
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see you in after dark.

01:15:44.607 --> 01:15:48.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody else will see you next week in the epic list of epic episodes.

01:15:48.668 --> 01:15:49.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Three hundred.

01:15:49.948 --> 01:15:51.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like for more information find down below.

01:15:51.789 --> 01:15:52.609
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to website forever.

01:15:52.649 --> 01:15:53.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Excel.com.

01:15:53.489 --> 01:15:55.790
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a very fun discord pop in there and say hello.
