Episodes

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

EPISODE 100!!! To celebrate our 100th Episode, we wanted to do something special for both ourselves and our listeners. So for us, that was getting our first ever interviewee back on the show to catch up and talk about everything and anything. Tarke Cat was our first ever interview in Episode 13, so 87 episodes later, we were wonderfully pleased to be able to have him back! So much has happened since we last had him on the show, both in PoE and the real world. We wished we could have gone on for ...

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

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

This week in Path of Exile Land was a pretty unique one. GGG felt that some fires needed to be doused within the community regarding 3.15 and the overall state of the game. So Chris went on Baeclast to talk ALL things Path of Exile. It gave us some really juicy spoilers for future content but also brought up some issues that are way more important than Path of Exile itself. In this 97th episode of Forever Exiled, we talk about the bigger picture of the interview. We'd like to personally congratu...

We got it! Expedition got the 3.15.1 patch. The non-letter patches are always a doozy. 15.1 wasn't as big as the mana cost change patch but GGG gave us some controversial changes (for some people) with tons of QOL improvements. It was a great week of news to discuss with so much content getting pushed that next week's episode will be just as jam-packed. This week also touched on New Players playing blindly, mid-league/post-launch changes, Expedition opinions, Otters in hot tubs, and obviously to...

Welp! It happened. We had some reversals. This week was a crazy week in Path of Exile Land! Massive amounts of patches (that's a good thing at the end of the day) and even a cool community event in the form of Twitch Rivals via Royale! But the big news of the week was GGG lowering the mana cost of supports and extending the duration of flask ailment immunities. We've been quite high on Expedition so far but 3.15 has changed so much we may have to restart ;). We're looking forward to things calmi...

BRING. IT. ON. Act 1. Who doesn't want a challenging PoE experience!? Come on! What a great start to a new league. In Episode 94 of Forever Exiled, we talk about all the neat changes we noticed in Act 1 and how it compares to the "good old days" along with our personal experiences and opinions for Expedition itself. We felt it important to bring up Chris' "2nd Dev. Manifesto" about GGG's abilities to change and plan for their own game along with the awesome interview that Asmongold had with Chri...

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

OH! MY! GOODNESS! What a massive reveal! GGG isn't scared to make big changes to bring Path of Exile to the state that they are aiming for, and they're showing it here with their 3.15 reveal! Flasks, trigger skills, enemies, support values, new base types, new defense type (Ward), 19 new skill gems, and more, all getting a major overhaul...of course, all on top of the Expedition league release. Royale was even added to Ultimatum/3.14 in the meantime! We tried to keep the episode short, but come ...

Fan Art, Patches (coolest patch ever!), and $500 statues...that's GGG's news this week...but WHO CARES if it's the end of 3.14's Ultimatum, there's an infinite amount of Path of Exile to discuss! Brittleknee joined us this week, which is just awesome, every time, and we talked about our wild "aluminum foil hat" guesses to what could/should get modified/added for 3.15, we laugh at people that don't know what a teaser is (again), Bubble Numbers (translated by Tagz and BK), and lots of awesome side...

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

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

Episode 88! The Eric Lindros episode. We had SUCH a fun week this week! Our Forever Exiled Ultimatum private league was surprisingly way more fun than we expected this past week and a half. Normally, we like to make the mods of the league annoying for players so we can mock them...but this "No Stash and No Magic or Rare drops" league was so fun. GGG had a slow week when it came to Path of Exile announcements so we took the opportunity to discuss our 3.14 private league experience. It brought up ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wow! Talk about drama and politics hey? GGG had the rough server launch for PoE and some public bans for Ultimatum...all alongside the normal launch schedule they have. There was also so much to discuss with all of the new core changes made to Path of Exile coupled with the experience of Ultimatum. We could have talked for ages...That will have to carry over into the next episode. For now, it's Episode 80! Enjoy! Just wanted to give a big thank you to all of our listeners. We hit 100k audio-onl...

Well...kinda. Both of us, like many of you, had a difficult time staying connected to the Path of Exile's 3.14 expansion. BUT there was still so much to talk about that we still had a great time hating each other and wishing the worst for each other's futures. But seriously, there was horrible online fallout against GGG for a false story, lovely lawns, some interesting Reddit posts by GGG staff, more lawn talk, new mechanic discoveries, disconnects, lawn stuff...we had plenty going on...not to m...

Gotta love Patch Notes day! It's like Christmas for us here at Forever Exiled (a Path of Exile podcast) :-). GGG released their 3.14 Ultimatum patch notes today; so like the nerds we are, we giggle (and complain like know-it-alls) through the parts of the notes that interest us (and hopefully you as well)...just like we would at a coffee shop "sans covid"! The amount of changes to the core game is staggering and it will be great to see it in action this Friday. Honestly, though, it's all icing o...
