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

It happened! The long wait for the 3.21 league is over! 3.21's Crucible has revealed itself with all of its glory and it's...MASSIVE! The character passive tree is "completely" new, the Atlas Passive tree has "warp zones", Masteries...goodness...the Masteries, league mechanic revamps, ascendancy revamps, implicit changes, QoL love...the 3.21 patch notes were insanely huge and it impacts every build that exists. And don't get us started on Passive Trees for weapons!!! This 182nd episode of Foreve...

It's our last week of 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum before the reveal of 3.21's Crucible and all the hype that's to come! With 3.21's league reveal next week, it's our last week to chat about whatever! Lawn season is beginning as spring has finally arrived here...hopefully we don't get injured with our hobbies so we can't play PoE! Or maybe this is the time to risk injury so we're all better for 3.21's league launch... The theory-crafting this week (which is obviously done during lawn care) took us d...

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

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

With just over a month left in the extended 3.20 Forbidden Sanctum, GGG has given Path of Exile diehards a lot of creative ways to spend their time, and with prizes too! Not to mention, there's lots of new ways to die! Imagine! You can kill your friends in Group Play, even if they're on the same team! How great would that week be! The joy will never end...well, until the events do. 🙂 Thanks so much for all of your support and for hanging out with us this week! Forever Exiled Info: www.foreverexi...

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

Not even real life can stop the love of Path of Exile in a true nerd's heart. This week's episode, #176, features a completely drugged up, but passionate, Justin, throwing his 2 cents around like nobody's business. We get into a cool idea for a 10-day event, some pros and cons of curse investment/application, and discuss an article we read reviewing GGG's game from the perspective of a new player. (Rabbit trails included.) 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum is still being played by many and we hope you're...

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

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

Our private league is about to begin! Well, by the time this comes out it will already be in full swing, but you know what we mean. Both of us intentionally didn't try Ruthless until now, so our private league will be the first time we'll be trying Ruthless. We can't wait! So much so that this might be our shortest episode yet! (Our private league starts within 45m of writing this.) But don't worry. We still managed to get some talk in about space stations, androids, and mixing up some nasty def...

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

There's a "1" at the end of this episode number...and we all know what that means! It's BK time! Brittleknee joins us for episode 171 where we talk about our successes and failures through 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum so far, along with some well-overdue IRL catch-up. GGG put out another big patch this week and is still pumping out community appreciation. When real life gets in the way of your favourite game, you appreciate the game even more. Thanks so much for listening this week! We love your fac...

Hopefully the new year is treating you all well! In episode 170 we get down to the nitty-gritty basics. 2022 was a crazy year for GGG with tons of additions and "removals" from Path of Exile. The annual retrospective GGG post took us down some really fun paths and unexpected conversations. It's amazing how much content gets put out in four leagues! And, no matter how long you've been playing the game, there's always a little room for a Eureka moment or two. As always, thanks for hanging out with...

If you like any aspect of Path of Exile's gameplay (which, obviously, you do or you wouldn't be here), you won't want to miss this week's episode. In Episode 169, we had the opportunity to sit down with GGG's very own Hrishi! As a game designer for the game you love, he's had his fingers in the passive tree, unique items, Ruthless, gems...everything. Honestly, everything game-play. If you've thought of "character power" (which, obviously, you have or you'd be playing Call of Duty), then you've t...

It's Christmas time! And what a crazy time to release the coolest support packs we've ever seen! It's an MTX fiasco this week! Return all of the gifts you've bought for others! It's time to stock up in GGG Land! Path of Exile also came out with their huge 3.20.1 patch this week that added a whole bunch of different fixes, modifications, and additions to the game. Forbidden Sanctum is looking a little more spicey for close-quarter-combat players. Oh! Don't forget to update your filters! Episode 1...

So, you know when you have a fantasy draft of your favourite sports league and you get together with your buddy(ies) that are just as uber-nerdy as you about said fantasy sports league, and you talk about the draft results of everyone's rosters in your league...for hours? No? Well, I do. Here, we call that roster-bating. So, I need a two syllable word that's Path of Exile related to put in front of "bating". Preferably something that ends with the "er" sound. In the meantime, we nerd out 111% in...

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

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

This is so great! GGG is spreading out its many manifestos over weeks! We had two last week and one this week! So in episode 164 of Forever Exiled, outside of our usual awesomeness, we talk about the Eldritch Altar changes with some tidbits on its impact on the core game. Plus, who doesn't love minions? Whether you play Path of Exile all day long or only a few hours a week, the coming changes have a benefit for you! 3.19's Lake of Kalandra will soon be 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum and it can't come ...

You know those times in life when you just can't wait for what's to come? Well, GGG had five posts this week that dramatically changed how Path of Exile's core is going to look in the future. Thanks to GGG, episode 163 of Forever Exiled is loaded with jewels, ailments, mitigation, Archnemesis modifiers, magic find, 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum...what a crammed episode! And that's not all! Just wait for next week's episode! 3.19's Lake of Kalandra extension is giving GGG lots of time to prepare us fo...

Episode 162 is as good as they come. With 3.19's extension, GGG's given fans plenty of time to fill out their Lake of Kalandra checklist annnnnnd hype! With three or four weeks to go until the 3.20 release, GGG has given us an announcement that they will be announcing some changes (in the form of Manifestos) which will come before the announcement of 3.20 where they will announce many more things. Four or more manifestos will be coming out this week and we spend the episode talking about the inf...

Episode 161 means BK is back! Welcome back, Brittleknee! We missed you! The more friends you have that like Path of Exile, the better life is. GGG made some pretty cool announcements this week that gave us insight into the "fill-in" events happening to close out 3.19 and the new Ruthless Alpha testing as it prepares for its 3.20 launch. So there was lots to catch up on. We also have a lot of fans of the podcast still playing through the Lake of Kalandra...I wonder how many of them are playing wi...

Ok. So. Here's the thing. Episode 160 is non-stop. It's not our fault! GGG just keeps posting stuff! Path of Exile's November Events have been announced and 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is not going core. That's a lot of juice to chug right there! But then our private league ended, we played PoE afterward as well, we posted stuff, we have opinions about other people's posts, community events and awards were posted...we pushed lots of subjects to next week's BK episode. Hopefully, you pulled up a chai...
