[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you.

00:45.564 --> 00:49.869
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that it's something about like kids getting kids ready for it.

00:49.889 --> 00:51.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry about the interruption.

00:51.051 --> 00:53.394

00:56.217 --> 00:58.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.

00:58.553 --> 01:00.579
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was nice, it was a nice week.

01:01.342 --> 01:03.188
[SPEAKER_02]: They're hanging out now, just chilling.

01:03.208 --> 01:07.341
[SPEAKER_02]: We, today's boxing days, so we recorded a little bit later, played some games.

01:08.003 --> 01:08.204
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.

01:08.485 --> 01:09.508
[SPEAKER_02]: And then...

01:09.758 --> 01:12.000
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's good, probably getting ready for a new year's Eve.

01:12.060 --> 01:12.460
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you?

01:12.480 --> 01:13.501
[SPEAKER_02]: How was your Christmas?

01:13.922 --> 01:19.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Good, good, but before we get into that, um, I'm glad your family had a good time.

01:19.287 --> 01:20.027
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always awesome.

01:20.047 --> 01:21.368
[SPEAKER_01]: Just it's got a massive family.

01:21.429 --> 01:23.470
[SPEAKER_01]: So, to me, more people.

01:23.490 --> 01:24.731
[SPEAKER_01]: No, so good.

01:24.832 --> 01:25.312
[SPEAKER_01]: So, good.

01:25.332 --> 01:25.632
[SPEAKER_01]: So, good.

01:25.652 --> 01:29.636
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a lot of extended family over, or like you normally host, right?

01:29.656 --> 01:33.559
[SPEAKER_01]: I was the majority, like with your brother and sister and parents and in laws.

01:34.320 --> 01:35.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, everybody shop at the same time.

01:35.962 --> 01:39.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have both sides of the family show up?

01:39.745 --> 01:45.250
[SPEAKER_02]: So my side of the family will come by a little bit earlier for us to do gifts with my self.

01:45.270 --> 01:45.670
[SPEAKER_02]: Same day.

01:45.690 --> 01:46.691
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:47.352 --> 01:48.052
[SPEAKER_02]: So that will come.

01:48.072 --> 02:02.886
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about an hour and a half before dinner and then everybody's there at dinner from both sides of our family and then just because my family tends to piss off early, we do all the gifts with Christina's family late because they're party animals.

02:03.566 --> 02:06.229
[SPEAKER_01]: And your parents don't care, or your side of the family doesn't care.

02:06.249 --> 02:07.710
[SPEAKER_01]: That's when the gifts get done.

02:07.690 --> 02:09.739
[SPEAKER_02]: No, everybody loves it, works great.

02:09.759 --> 02:10.225
[SPEAKER_02]: So...

02:10.390 --> 02:12.612
[SPEAKER_01]: their piss off with priority.

02:12.992 --> 02:13.453
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

02:13.473 --> 02:14.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's good.

02:14.394 --> 02:17.496
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a really good time, kids had fun, which is always the best.

02:17.536 --> 02:18.838
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.

02:18.858 --> 02:19.098
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

02:19.118 --> 02:19.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.

02:19.678 --> 02:23.442
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to say, I've got to give a shout out to your hoodie that you're wearing.

02:23.462 --> 02:24.543
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just like that.

02:24.563 --> 02:25.584
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how you do.

02:25.764 --> 02:26.444
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen you.

02:26.525 --> 02:27.545
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that you get that new?

02:27.926 --> 02:28.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

02:28.246 --> 02:28.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

02:28.466 --> 02:28.666
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.

02:28.686 --> 02:30.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it looks old school, man.

02:30.508 --> 02:35.272
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, so any listeners, I don't know how much we've brought this up.

02:35.332 --> 02:40.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, for the some listeners that know, Justin's got, I don't know if it's a fetish.

02:40.377 --> 02:48.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's not sexual, well, maybe it is, I mean, I wouldn't know, but dude loves his shoes.

02:48.893 --> 02:51.438
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a thing, yep.

02:51.498 --> 02:52.700
[SPEAKER_01]: He also loves his Jordan.

02:53.842 --> 02:57.870
[SPEAKER_01]: And sure, heir Jordan in terms of shoes, but just Jordan in general.

02:58.391 --> 03:03.921
[SPEAKER_01]: And so are you a fan of the bulls or wasn't just purely Jordan?

03:03.901 --> 03:07.625
[SPEAKER_02]: are like the bulls during the years the Jordan was there.

03:07.645 --> 03:07.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:08.105 --> 03:08.806
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:08.826 --> 03:08.926
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:09.527 --> 03:12.129
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was, it was, it was Pippin Jordan.

03:12.149 --> 03:12.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is number three?

03:13.131 --> 03:14.472
[SPEAKER_01]: There was, there was a solid number.

03:14.492 --> 03:15.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it's for a question.

03:15.173 --> 03:16.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't, didn't, didn't he, Rodney?

03:16.634 --> 03:16.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:17.835 --> 03:18.536
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember that.

03:18.636 --> 03:20.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, that was, as a kid.

03:20.718 --> 03:22.760
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the best stuff that Dennis Rodman was doing.

03:22.780 --> 03:25.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Like all that political stuff that Rodman was doing.

03:25.083 --> 03:26.985
[SPEAKER_01]: That was like weird as a kid.

03:27.005 --> 03:28.366
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like 10 or 12.

03:28.446 --> 03:30.128
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he get on the court and just,

03:30.597 --> 03:35.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so impressed right doesn't matter who the other two are you just nail it.

03:35.286 --> 03:36.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, very good.

03:36.929 --> 03:52.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen it was that a net an accurate like you're a diehard bulls You're especially died Jordan guys so you would probably know a lot more of the intricacies than even the the documentaries show, but was that the last dance on that because it came out ages ago

03:52.197 --> 03:53.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it legit?

03:53.299 --> 03:57.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Or was it all like make belief like drive to survive for fun?

03:57.588 --> 03:58.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just still good, but it wasn't.

03:59.291 --> 03:59.972
[SPEAKER_02]: It was legit.

04:00.413 --> 04:00.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is fun.

04:00.994 --> 04:01.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Like right on.

04:01.936 --> 04:02.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:02.437 --> 04:02.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

04:02.738 --> 04:03.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.

04:03.158 --> 04:07.507
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, show it to your hoodie because that's, it looks super old school.

04:08.329 --> 04:09.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Super old school.

04:09.130 --> 04:12.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Just big red and black Chicago bowls in that old school bowl.

04:12.898 --> 04:14.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I can only see the horns in the camera.

04:16.801 --> 04:20.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Seriously, that old school ball if they don't wear that anymore, it's a crime.

04:20.813 --> 04:26.389
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like the 11th command, that's shout not, remove old school logos.

04:26.538 --> 04:27.660
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

04:27.680 --> 04:28.821
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you have a good Christmas time?

04:29.022 --> 04:29.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:29.362 --> 04:29.803
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.

04:30.143 --> 04:30.404
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

04:30.484 --> 04:31.505
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a great Christmas.

04:31.846 --> 04:34.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the two kids had a great time.

04:34.390 --> 04:36.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Santa talk.

04:37.094 --> 04:39.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Any listeners, Santa, ear moths for five minutes.

04:39.497 --> 04:43.443
[SPEAKER_01]: Start the timestamp in five, four, three, two, one.

04:43.483 --> 04:46.408
[SPEAKER_01]: This was the year as I think I mentioned last week.

04:46.488 --> 04:47.670
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be surprised if I didn't.

04:47.710 --> 04:50.554
[SPEAKER_01]: That my daughter, uh, she was catching Santa this year.

04:50.534 --> 04:54.484
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, but she had that 50-50 split of unsurety.

04:54.544 --> 04:58.954
[SPEAKER_01]: She was fine no matter which way it went, but this was the year she was going to find out.

04:59.034 --> 05:06.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Now in my family for some reason I think it's changed throughout our marriage, but my wife's sure it's always been the same.

05:06.312 --> 05:21.503
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the gifts themselves are from us or people, whoever, but it's the stockings that are from sent, which really ties in well with the movie Clouds, which is one of my favorite movies ever on Netflix.

05:21.483 --> 05:28.818
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, my daughter was keen on making sure she could find out who was doing the stockings.

05:29.700 --> 05:41.044
[SPEAKER_01]: And so ironically, or funny enough, she asked us the parents to hit the play and pause button on her video camera that she specifically set up to record.

05:41.024 --> 05:46.580
[SPEAKER_01]: and she's tested ahead of time, she's like, okay, I have just over an hour of memory space left on my camera.

05:47.042 --> 05:49.509
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can't record all night, Dad, can you hit it?

05:49.690 --> 05:54.223
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, just before you guys are going to start doing your own gifts, can you hit record?

05:54.406 --> 05:56.209
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when you're finished, can you hit pot?

05:56.229 --> 05:58.572
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know what, it was just really funny.

05:59.053 --> 06:01.296
[SPEAKER_01]: But of course, we'd been doing it this whole time.

06:01.436 --> 06:11.571
[SPEAKER_01]: So we went through the actions of like drinking the milk and eating the cookies while my wife did because I can't eat or drink any of that stuff and going through and like organizing the gifts.

06:11.591 --> 06:18.321
[SPEAKER_01]: And she just had this wonderful experience this year of just feeling really cool about knowing for sure.

06:18.301 --> 06:27.229
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's the irony of my son who's two years younger, like two or three years ago, deciding that Santa had nothing to do with anything.

06:27.269 --> 06:30.152
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just a really fun, cool story, and enjoying the story of it all.

06:30.952 --> 06:36.177
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was funny that he even wanted to be a part of it this year just so he can be on camera.

06:36.197 --> 06:48.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was too tired and we told him like, it might even spoil the gifts if you're like, you know, like caring to the thing and he feels a way to hear the sounds or no sounds of whatever the gift is.

06:48.288 --> 06:50.130
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was a lot of fun.

06:50.171 --> 07:04.370
[SPEAKER_01]: This Christmas was a very unique Christmas, and this year, I decided to wrap the gifts, and I marked them all, with Oliver A, Violet, Oliver B, Violet B.

07:05.091 --> 07:14.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So instead of like, we try and obviously make it even for like what they get, but sometimes like, you know, you get like one kid, a hundred dollar thing and you get another kid.

07:14.123 --> 07:16.065
[SPEAKER_01]: 333 things, right?

07:16.165 --> 07:32.984
[SPEAKER_01]: So this year, I marked the mall and I wrapped them all together in like equality, and then also an order, just for fun to see what they would do, and so they opened like other A gifts together, and other B gifts together, and that was pretty fun, just, you know, a new thing.

07:33.004 --> 07:36.508
[SPEAKER_01]: And next year, I mean, we were up at five in the morning doing this week.

07:36.528 --> 07:37.710
[SPEAKER_01]: They could wake us up at any time.

07:37.730 --> 07:42.595
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sometimes I'm like, don't, don't you dare touch us till 8 a.m. or

07:44.161 --> 07:51.049
[SPEAKER_01]: This year we were up at five and by eight thirty I was like wondering what I was going to do for lunch And I'm like oh dang it's only eight thirty.

07:51.069 --> 08:05.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna go have a shower and go back to bed Which I didn't we had we had a great time like there it was like as ultimately first world as it could get and I Think every prayer we said before any what whether it was a meal or anything else it was just

08:05.947 --> 08:09.572
[SPEAKER_01]: I emphasize thanks because it was a good season.

08:10.353 --> 08:10.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Good season.

08:11.794 --> 08:14.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's been raining so much.

08:15.038 --> 08:21.627
[SPEAKER_01]: And because we're one of those houses that flooded four years ago, like just any time it's just nonstop rain.

08:21.647 --> 08:22.728
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, thank you, God.

08:22.928 --> 08:23.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

08:23.329 --> 08:23.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

08:23.789 --> 08:24.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

08:24.711 --> 08:29.417
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I mean, we've paid like a bajillion dollars to make sure we weren't, but it was it's so good.

08:29.517 --> 08:34.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So, everybody that helped and all that kind of stuff has just been a

08:34.583 --> 08:46.558
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been fun too because like you know we're playing Path of Exile at the same time and everybody else and all there are other different you know whether it's beliefs or traditions or anything you hear people wishing people happy birthday.

08:46.978 --> 08:50.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Merry Christmas or happy holidays whatever it is.

08:50.623 --> 08:51.644
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just it's it's nice.

08:52.886 --> 08:54.207

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I forgot to get the mystery box.

09:07.293 --> 09:09.255
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, how do I get the mystery box?

09:09.275 --> 09:10.977
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you keep the head anymore.

09:10.997 --> 09:14.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, did you have to go on on the day?

09:14.201 --> 09:16.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, log in the game right now.

09:16.323 --> 09:17.365

[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes when you see the crash bug's like, oh, okay, well, experiences have been good for me.

16:27.534 --> 16:30.240
[SPEAKER_01]: This week, crashing all the time.

16:30.540 --> 16:31.322
[SPEAKER_01]: You were?

16:31.302 --> 16:32.103
[SPEAKER_01]: all the time.

16:32.363 --> 16:32.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

16:32.884 --> 16:33.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that an Xbox piece?

16:33.945 --> 16:34.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Always kicking me out.

16:35.066 --> 16:35.627
[SPEAKER_01]: Xbox, yep.

16:36.368 --> 16:36.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Thing.

16:36.788 --> 16:40.893
[SPEAKER_01]: One awesome thing about Path of Exile 2 is it puts you back exactly in the same way, Maria.

16:40.913 --> 16:42.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Experience where you were.

16:42.555 --> 16:53.067
[SPEAKER_01]: So unfortunately, it resets the fog of war, which really does not match well with the size of every map or experience.

16:53.207 --> 16:57.192
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really negative thing in terms of how that works.

16:57.998 --> 17:08.876
[SPEAKER_01]: Besides that, it's if you were just crashing and then reloading, he just keep doing whatever process or system you have for that and depending on that process, it still works so fine.

17:08.917 --> 17:12.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, because I constantly have the right wall, it did work out okay.

17:12.883 --> 17:19.855
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was crashing a lot to the point where I actually played some age of empires, and I wasn't even in the mood for it.

17:19.835 --> 17:33.450
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was, this was one of those weeks where I'm just, when I turned on the Xbox, it was to play Path of Exile and the only reason I was playing Age of Empires was because Path of Exile was screwing up with something and this week a lot.

17:33.470 --> 17:39.437
[SPEAKER_01]: The majority of the time was because of crashes, but I had a really good POE week, man.

17:39.457 --> 17:40.518
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a really good POE week.

17:40.778 --> 17:43.081
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, did you play it all this week or was it all the way?

17:43.602 --> 17:44.903
[SPEAKER_01]: That means it is the season, right?

17:44.923 --> 17:49.268
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you don't play, you don't play.

18:12.907 --> 18:14.890
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I thought it was a colloquialist.

18:15.411 --> 18:18.195
[SPEAKER_01]: The, oh, the acupuncture.

18:18.936 --> 18:20.398
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, acupuncture, obviously.

18:20.438 --> 18:22.200
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it is.

18:22.220 --> 18:23.643
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it is.

18:24.103 --> 18:24.864
[SPEAKER_01]: What it is.

18:25.265 --> 18:27.308
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really hoping I could load it before.

18:27.829 --> 18:29.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Conversation got really bad.

18:30.212 --> 18:32.896
[SPEAKER_01]: The druid has the shaman and the oracle.

18:33.297 --> 18:33.877
[SPEAKER_01]: Oriously.

18:33.937 --> 18:35.360
[SPEAKER_02]: So close.

18:35.380 --> 18:36.521
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's the one that I am.

18:36.641 --> 18:37.783
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the oracle.

18:37.763 --> 18:39.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, I switched that.

18:39.766 --> 18:46.995
[SPEAKER_02]: I paid a divine to get run through for the fourth ascendancy because I don't want to deal with that.

18:47.135 --> 18:48.717
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a fourth ascendancy.

18:48.737 --> 18:50.660
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought there was only two.

18:50.700 --> 18:57.308
[SPEAKER_02]: And I needed it, so like with the, with the, I'm gonna just keep calling it the occult, feels better.

18:57.288 --> 19:00.774
[SPEAKER_02]: uh, they, they, you really need the fourth point.

19:00.794 --> 19:04.942
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, there's just, it's too good to not have one right now, let me bring it up again.

19:05.042 --> 19:12.516
[SPEAKER_01]: So because I'm not the occultist or not, the Oculus, so let me Oculus, what is this meta?

19:12.837 --> 19:13.097
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.

19:13.518 --> 19:14.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Did they make an Oculus?

19:14.480 --> 19:15.702
[SPEAKER_02]: No, maybe something.

19:15.682 --> 19:22.839
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, whatever What do you have for stow you on them and the entwined realities are what?

19:23.882 --> 19:25.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't don't don't okay.

19:25.626 --> 19:26.388
[SPEAKER_01]: What was your first one?

19:26.969 --> 19:32.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Lesser harm Okay damage of enemies hitting you is unlucky

19:32.202 --> 19:33.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I like that.

19:33.404 --> 19:33.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, cool.

19:34.066 --> 19:34.366
[SPEAKER_01]: What's that?

19:34.386 --> 19:35.188
[SPEAKER_01]: And then follow up.

19:35.208 --> 19:41.520
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually put in for part of my like defense for stuff and path one, it was all about getting like reduced crit chance.

19:41.540 --> 19:42.762
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's I like that.

19:43.063 --> 19:54.244
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm lucky and just one thing instead of investing like 15 nodes to get 100% curse or crit reduction.

19:54.224 --> 19:56.367
[SPEAKER_01]: What the heck is inevitable?

19:56.888 --> 20:04.418
[SPEAKER_02]: So it basically means that you will crit, but your damage is decreased each time it re-rolls to try and crit.

20:04.939 --> 20:08.684
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's an underscored term in path to inevitable.

20:09.105 --> 20:09.205
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

20:09.225 --> 20:11.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Guaranteed, but reduced what?

20:11.688 --> 20:12.910
[SPEAKER_02]: It's called gain.

20:12.970 --> 20:15.253
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they call it gain inevitable hit.

20:15.474 --> 20:17.236
[SPEAKER_02]: And inevitable critical hits.

20:17.276 --> 20:22.223
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the so inevitable itself is not the term.

20:22.203 --> 20:36.381
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically, I feel like the actual thing says gain inevitable crit, critical hits, and that is what a whole, what you can mouse over and it tells you that it re-rolls until you crit, by decreasing your damage each time.

20:36.682 --> 20:41.388
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so you're guaranteed a crit, but it's your damaged, that's what we're doing.

20:41.568 --> 20:50.840
[SPEAKER_02]: The damage, the damage, the crit bonus is decreased each time it has to re-roll until it basically just doesn't do any bonus damage, but it's still there.

20:50.860 --> 20:56.867
[SPEAKER_01]: So that would be really strong on a build that proct off of crit, but not necessarily cared about it's damage.

20:56.847 --> 21:07.887
[SPEAKER_02]: okay cool and then after that my whole reason for when to try it was a the unseen path I would just want to see what it like and it was really cool

21:08.153 --> 21:11.276
[SPEAKER_02]: And then good learning and twined realities is sick.

21:11.296 --> 21:13.017
[SPEAKER_02]: It is one of my favorite.

21:13.638 --> 21:15.860
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you're what's tapping about all week.

21:15.880 --> 21:16.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

21:16.621 --> 21:24.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that one with where you can allocate a keystone that get notables within the radius that you can allocate without tapping into them.

21:24.548 --> 21:25.489
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

21:25.509 --> 21:28.752
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I went blood magic to get all the stuff down there.

21:29.293 --> 21:35.258
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I just love how funny it is to go for like

21:35.238 --> 21:37.604
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're picking up so many nodes around it.

21:37.724 --> 21:39.408
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I just it was such a fun.

21:39.448 --> 21:41.012
[SPEAKER_01]: That is cool.

21:41.814 --> 21:52.740
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I was theory crafting last week, I realized how much like just as a minion player, how many really cool clusters were gated behind the Oracle.

21:53.294 --> 21:53.835
[SPEAKER_01]: the new ones.

21:53.875 --> 21:54.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:54.195 --> 21:54.716
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

21:54.897 --> 21:55.117
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:55.137 --> 21:55.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:55.317 --> 21:55.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

21:55.498 --> 22:01.026
[SPEAKER_01]: Then you have what like 200 nodes get it behind the Oracle?

22:01.447 --> 22:02.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

22:02.228 --> 22:03.390
[SPEAKER_02]: There are quite a few.

22:03.410 --> 22:08.438
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say, you know, I didn't find that I was taking a ton of them.

22:09.079 --> 22:18.795
[SPEAKER_02]: So I probably have 15 maybe 15 of the of the nodes maybe 15.

22:18.775 --> 22:21.260
[SPEAKER_02]: But it is nice to have.

22:21.321 --> 22:22.824
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cool that they're there for me.

22:22.844 --> 22:34.810
[SPEAKER_02]: There's not a ton that I was using, but it again it leads on to entwined realities, which is

22:34.975 --> 22:46.466
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've had a lot of fun, I switched over to Wolf and I'm doing cold damage and I love cold damage in every game we've ever played because the smashing feeling like you're exploding sounds good.

22:46.886 --> 22:47.407
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fun to play.

22:47.427 --> 22:52.431
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about fast back to whether it's chilling or freezing, you know, pure, yeah, yeah.

22:52.451 --> 23:03.902
[SPEAKER_02]: So I've had so much more fun playing the druid that way.

23:04.102 --> 23:07.690
[SPEAKER_02]: I think my biggest struggle is just that, yeah, I'm running out of reasons to play.

23:08.271 --> 23:11.498
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I, there's just not enough for me to want to do.

23:11.518 --> 23:23.443
[SPEAKER_02]: I tried, I really tried with the temple, and I think the temple has got the potential to be so cool, but it's so orally explained that I, so I,

23:23.423 --> 23:28.431
[SPEAKER_02]: I, when you go into the temple, we'll tell you you need to get to the architect, right?

23:28.992 --> 23:44.318
[SPEAKER_02]: I get to the architect, I place some things, don't really understand what I'm doing because it kind of is telling me where to put certain things in their way on the outsides, and then, the next time I go to the thing, it blows up in my whole temple, disappears most of it, and I'm like, what the fuck?

23:44.298 --> 23:46.362
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so I start building it again.

23:46.662 --> 23:50.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, am I supposed to do it and then remove it?

23:50.449 --> 23:51.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Or am I supposed to do it?

23:51.992 --> 23:59.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was like go and what was I trying to get to and then so I see this temple and I'm like, okay, well, I guess I'll work towards this architect.

23:59.947 --> 24:01.610
[SPEAKER_02]: I work towards this architect and I kill him.

24:01.890 --> 24:07.200
[SPEAKER_02]: When I come back out, I place these new blocks and I that was the only time I heard Doria and he say,

24:07.180 --> 24:10.225
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, why you shouldn't you didn't even connect to a zero.

24:10.305 --> 24:11.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you're going to have to start over again.

24:11.787 --> 24:14.471
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, okay, what the f, I totally miss that.

24:14.551 --> 24:17.776
[SPEAKER_02]: So my tempo gets blown up again to finally get my tempo going again.

24:17.796 --> 24:25.368
[SPEAKER_02]: And I realized that I've added this key and you need to get to this key in order to fight at zero.

24:25.969 --> 24:27.892
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I don't really understand how that works.

24:28.192 --> 24:30.876
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't sure if it unlocked or so then you could build towards it.

24:30.916 --> 24:35.263
[SPEAKER_02]: So I built the key and it says you need to be connected.

24:35.243 --> 24:36.125
[SPEAKER_02]: to its theory.

24:36.786 --> 24:39.330
[SPEAKER_02]: Before you can get a son of a bitch.

24:39.350 --> 24:40.452
[SPEAKER_02]: So then I rebuild my life.

24:40.492 --> 24:46.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when your kid makes its their own board game and they, they don't tell you all the rules right away.

24:46.683 --> 24:54.035
[SPEAKER_01]: As you're going, you're like, Oh, no, you have to do a. I don't know, you have to do a, I don't know, you have to do a C and then D and then E and then it's like, okay, dad, you just like don't like it.

24:54.075 --> 24:54.616
[SPEAKER_01]: Understand.

24:54.656 --> 24:55.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can get it.

24:55.558 --> 24:56.159
[SPEAKER_02]: Just go away.

24:56.499 --> 24:59.004
[SPEAKER_02]: I go back in and I start rebuilding my temple again.

24:59.024 --> 25:00.947
[SPEAKER_02]: So this time I connect.

25:00.927 --> 25:04.133
[SPEAKER_02]: The key to it's Siri, I do the key.

25:04.233 --> 25:05.896
[SPEAKER_02]: I do the temple, I do the key.

25:06.096 --> 25:07.458
[SPEAKER_02]: I and I am feeling really good.

25:07.478 --> 25:08.360
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, this is awesome.

25:08.380 --> 25:09.542
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to get to fight it's Siri.

25:09.562 --> 25:12.166
[SPEAKER_02]: I go in, be a Siri, cut scene plays.

25:12.587 --> 25:13.328
[SPEAKER_02]: I fight it's Siri.

25:13.349 --> 25:14.711
[SPEAKER_02]: She goes into the second stage.

25:14.991 --> 25:18.057
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember what happened, but somehow I just messed up.

25:18.177 --> 25:18.958
[SPEAKER_02]: I missed a tell.

25:18.978 --> 25:19.900
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm trying to learn the boss.

25:19.920 --> 25:20.982
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never fought the boss before.

25:21.362 --> 25:21.803
[SPEAKER_02]: And I died.

25:23.186 --> 25:25.770
[SPEAKER_02]: And friends, their games was like,

25:26.088 --> 25:32.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Good luck next time, because the whole shemma blows up and I have to do it again on the second try.

25:32.114 --> 25:33.296
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't get a second try.

25:33.316 --> 25:35.098
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't get like nothing.

25:35.138 --> 25:38.541
[SPEAKER_02]: I take away, like don't even give me loot.

25:38.641 --> 25:41.925
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine with that, but like let me at least figure out the tell.

25:42.005 --> 25:44.848
[SPEAKER_02]: So I understand with the net cause now I'm going to do.

25:44.888 --> 25:51.555
[SPEAKER_02]: I really want to build this again because now I'm going to get back to an architect, find a key, then build it again to the key plus a zeroy.

25:51.535 --> 25:53.298
[SPEAKER_02]: I just it was getting a bit frustrating.

25:53.318 --> 25:57.326
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's some magical way to lay out the temple, but I don't want to play harvest again.

25:57.366 --> 25:59.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I just I want to do the temple.

25:59.169 --> 26:02.495
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like there's fun things within it, but I don't understand it.

26:02.595 --> 26:06.562
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what upgrades things to what I don't get how some things were like.

26:06.603 --> 26:08.406
[SPEAKER_01]: I sent the system go core, right?

26:08.466 --> 26:09.628
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very weird.

26:09.608 --> 26:13.012
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy because GGG's not the greatest at tells.

26:13.313 --> 26:14.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Some bosses are awesome.

26:15.175 --> 26:17.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether you like them or not, like the tells.

26:17.198 --> 26:18.680
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like a really good experience is.

26:18.880 --> 26:19.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't know.

26:19.661 --> 26:21.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And other bosses aren't.

26:22.044 --> 26:23.426
[SPEAKER_01]: And all of a sudden you take damage.

26:23.446 --> 26:25.989
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like, what was I supposed to do?

26:26.489 --> 26:26.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

26:26.650 --> 26:32.477
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't mind a boss fight where it's like, it's your third or fourth or fifth time where you're like,

26:32.457 --> 26:33.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's it.

26:33.999 --> 26:39.766
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you go in knowing you're going to take this massive hit because you're staring at the boss instead of yourself.

26:40.567 --> 26:54.145
[SPEAKER_01]: But to have something where it costs so much to get there and then it's like, okay, you have to pay that again just to witness it a second time.

26:54.125 --> 26:58.054
[SPEAKER_02]: I was a bit disappointing because I was very excited to have finally made it to a zero.

26:58.094 --> 26:59.277
[SPEAKER_02]: The fight was very cool.

26:59.357 --> 27:01.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt really, I don't know, just felt epic.

27:01.642 --> 27:05.009
[SPEAKER_02]: I really enjoyed it, but I just did not realize what I had missed.

27:05.831 --> 27:09.720
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I died, I was like, you, are you kidding me?

27:09.700 --> 27:10.201
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

27:10.341 --> 27:10.982
[SPEAKER_02]: The temple's done.

27:11.022 --> 27:12.484
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't go back in and fight her again.

27:13.185 --> 27:15.208
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Bible life man.

27:15.368 --> 27:19.514
[SPEAKER_02]: It's weird though because they switched on a lot of stuff to allow you a second chance to fight.

27:19.555 --> 27:26.725
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they've done the way they've done some of the new, they're not even new stuff, but just kind of a breach bosses and bosses.

27:26.745 --> 27:28.808
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if they've given you better shots at it.

27:29.469 --> 27:37.761
[SPEAKER_02]: But it also, so I had a bit of a frustration when I was like, I don't know if I'm going to do this again.

27:37.801 --> 27:38.863
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know why

27:38.843 --> 27:47.034
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, the temple just kind of took a bit, took a bit out where I was like, I don't know if I want to put this time in the game.

27:47.054 --> 27:48.677
[SPEAKER_01]: You bother trying the temple.

27:48.757 --> 27:49.438
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still doing it.

27:49.498 --> 27:50.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still doing it.

27:50.559 --> 27:51.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still doing it.

27:51.420 --> 27:53.664
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to understand maybe I'm missing something.

27:53.704 --> 27:56.908
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there's some way to build it that I don't understand.

27:56.948 --> 27:58.671
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact is, you just run past it.

27:58.731 --> 28:00.073
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not really that big of a deal.

28:00.133 --> 28:01.855
[SPEAKER_02]: The only thing is when it does pop up.

28:01.875 --> 28:03.898
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, right.

28:04.178 --> 28:04.799
[SPEAKER_01]: I ignore it.

28:05.340 --> 28:05.921
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know why?

28:05.981 --> 28:08.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it sucks.

28:08.408 --> 28:14.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's like, like, when, uh, well, I go into these rooms and there's five enemies.

28:14.247 --> 28:14.668
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

28:15.349 --> 28:18.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that was, oh, wait, like I'm looking at the lower tier ones.

28:18.855 --> 28:21.159
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having to go like map, no map, map, no map.

28:21.199 --> 28:21.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Where am I?

28:21.780 --> 28:22.340
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, back.

28:22.361 --> 28:23.623
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I hit six enemies.

28:24.324 --> 28:24.624
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

28:24.865 --> 28:25.786
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm getting an exalt.

28:25.926 --> 28:26.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

28:26.788 --> 28:29.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Like just just drop me an exalt in the map that I'm doing.

28:30.053 --> 28:31.035
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can keep playing.

28:31.075 --> 28:35.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't need to spend an extra bit just for this, you know, like it.

28:35.162 --> 28:36.083
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a lot.

28:36.704 --> 28:38.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do anything to find it to it.

28:38.868 --> 28:42.112
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I get these puzzle pieces and I'm supposed to care.

28:42.152 --> 28:45.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, like, no, I'm playing this to fight monsters.

28:45.757 --> 28:49.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's not enough in this content for me to care in the low levels.

28:49.101 --> 28:50.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm still low level.

28:50.123 --> 28:51.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm playing maps.

28:51.544 --> 28:57.572
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm like, this is like really interrupting the fun part of my experience.

28:57.592 --> 28:59.094
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not getting much out of it.

28:59.635 --> 29:01.177
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where I'm coming from with it.

29:01.197 --> 29:02.959
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm coming through this.

29:03.019 --> 29:05.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, I don't want to spend the time to do it.

29:05.382 --> 29:08.166
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to play a content where I'm constantly

29:08.146 --> 29:09.589
[SPEAKER_01]: opening and closing my map.

29:09.649 --> 29:11.372
[SPEAKER_01]: There's there's not enough enemies in it.

29:12.033 --> 29:14.557
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you're going to give me this bench that let's me do this thing.

29:14.577 --> 29:18.104
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I have this really clunky controller UI system for it.

29:18.304 --> 29:28.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Where I have to like unsock it this, put it in my inventory.

29:28.362 --> 29:31.507
[SPEAKER_01]: In the map that I'm in, like, give me a chest that gives me an exalt.

29:31.587 --> 29:35.393
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to go through, like, 50 minutes before I get content.

29:35.613 --> 29:39.138
[SPEAKER_02]: Giving quality or an extra socket to a skilled gem?

29:39.819 --> 29:45.067
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but honestly, ever since campaign, I've been skipping the league.

29:45.087 --> 29:47.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Because this is good, it's not worth my time.

29:48.773 --> 29:48.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.

29:48.873 --> 29:49.654
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not worth it.

29:49.735 --> 29:50.556
[SPEAKER_01]: I could just go back.

29:50.956 --> 29:53.340
[SPEAKER_01]: I could just go map and... Sure.

29:53.320 --> 30:11.835
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe for some stuff, but like there are some parts of it that I do find quite fun and I can move through a relatively quickly there is a fun aspect to you build this layout like and you're trying to work your way through it, but it's very, very poor at walking you through what you should do or what's, you know.

30:11.815 --> 30:25.108
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't want to be told what to do, but I can't tell what a block will do besides look at the color of the green that's around the other blocks, and then move it over there and wait and see which one gets an upper.

30:25.188 --> 30:27.771
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really understand maybe there's a smart layout.

30:28.151 --> 30:39.983
[SPEAKER_02]: If I understood which one's interacted with each other, like if it just said summer, then maybe I could plan it out a little bit more, but also the randomness of just

30:39.963 --> 30:52.021
[SPEAKER_01]: It is weird because when you take that extra step and I love the fact that GGG is trying to make Path of Excel to a lot more user-friendly and descriptive than Path of Excel 1.

30:52.061 --> 30:55.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Path of Excel 1 was, you couldn't recommend it to a new person.

30:56.147 --> 31:01.114
[SPEAKER_01]: The only person you could recommend Path of Excel 1 to was somebody who's already played Path of Excel 1, right?

31:01.595 --> 31:05.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Something explained a little bit further what they're missing kind of thing, but to

31:05.360 --> 31:11.170
[SPEAKER_01]: to encourage path one to somebody who's never played it before is, it's a far miss.

31:11.370 --> 31:22.288
[SPEAKER_01]: So path two, I love the direction they're going, but when you get into the aspect of like through tutorial system at the beginning where it's like, this is how you allocate a pass of, no, this is the button you hit for a lifelask.

31:22.308 --> 31:24.351
[SPEAKER_01]: When you are low on life, you hit a lifelask.

31:24.772 --> 31:31.924
[SPEAKER_01]: You expect that start setting the precedent that you're going to be explained things going

31:31.904 --> 31:39.198
[SPEAKER_01]: like they tell you the obvious stuff that you don't need to be told and they don't tell you the things you need to be told.

31:39.979 --> 31:45.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you are going to go through the process of helping people, you need to continue that process.

31:45.830 --> 31:48.495
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't just all of a sudden fall flat.

31:48.577 --> 31:49.218
[SPEAKER_01]: you know what I mean?

31:49.238 --> 31:51.963
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like taking out a homeless person for dinner.

31:52.584 --> 31:52.864
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

31:52.884 --> 31:56.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's nice, but like they're going to need groceries tomorrow.

31:57.232 --> 31:57.853
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

31:57.913 --> 32:00.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's the short term in the long term.

32:00.297 --> 32:04.003
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no point in the short term without the long term.

32:03.983 --> 32:07.689
[SPEAKER_01]: It went about when you have content that comes out once every four months.

32:08.430 --> 32:09.652
[SPEAKER_01]: That's something you need to consider.

32:09.773 --> 32:16.684
[SPEAKER_01]: How are you encouraging the person, especially even once you get to end game, you have Dorianny talking to like a child's mobile game.

32:17.185 --> 32:20.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're a boy, you're a pop-up pop-up pop-up pop-up pop-up pop-up.

32:21.031 --> 32:24.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And I still don't even know what's going on, but then you add the league content to it.

32:24.757 --> 32:28.303
[SPEAKER_01]: You just kind of have to like correlate it all together.

32:28.283 --> 32:44.025
[SPEAKER_01]: like there's a lot that I'm not understanding as well and I feel like I should I don't know where I'm missing it but I am like even what was it with the league content I couldn't even find the button after you showed me the RB button for actually starting the template.

32:44.546 --> 32:45.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there it is.

32:45.868 --> 32:46.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, I'm an idiot.

32:46.829 --> 32:52.597
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the time, I didn't feel like an idiot for missing it, because it was so hidden now that I see it.

32:52.637 --> 32:55.041
[SPEAKER_01]: It's obvious when I feel like an idiot, you know what I mean?

32:55.581 --> 33:02.371
[SPEAKER_02]: It's funny, you were, you've talked about the Dorianny, like talking to you, like a, whatever, mobile game type thing.

33:02.712 --> 33:10.002
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'd never really noticed it until the only time I noticed it when I came out of this temple that got massacred, and he was like,

33:10.066 --> 33:18.146
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you didn't even make any connections and I'm like, wait, hold on, I'm supposed to read that little green text that just keeps, I don't pay attention that ever.

33:18.728 --> 33:20.071
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, oh, cool, thanks, man.

33:20.953 --> 33:21.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Try this again.

33:22.182 --> 33:50.788
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, but the builds fun, the content is like there there's something to do, but I just don't feel like there's enough of something to do and I have tried I really like pushing like higher harder content I'm enjoying yeah I'm only like four of eight on all the extra outlustries my outlustries all done, but

33:50.768 --> 33:56.920
[SPEAKER_02]: Hill that they're just so willing to die on, but one portal, when you run a harder road map is not.

33:56.940 --> 33:58.864
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're not talking next, be your talking portals.

33:59.124 --> 33:59.826
[SPEAKER_02]: Not just portals.

34:00.306 --> 34:12.490
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't like, I don't like that if I roll a map really hard and I want to have some fun with some harder content, and I'm playing in soft core where Dines okay.

34:13.550 --> 34:14.572
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me another portal.

34:14.612 --> 34:14.793
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?

34:14.873 --> 34:19.643
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand the reason to remove my ability to continue through it.

34:19.904 --> 34:25.315
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy because let's say you do one that has three portals, so it's only four tiers.

34:25.395 --> 34:26.858
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still rare, right?

34:27.379 --> 34:28.622
[SPEAKER_02]: And you run it.

34:28.602 --> 34:35.312
[SPEAKER_02]: and let's say I'm running rituals and I'm running breaches and I do like you follow the right for the most part.

34:35.773 --> 34:38.978
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm tracing through my map, having a good time, killing some stuff.

34:39.058 --> 34:40.640
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got two of the rituals done.

34:40.681 --> 34:43.805
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I got lucky and my breach rolled with five breaches.

34:43.865 --> 34:45.288
[SPEAKER_02]: I've only hit one of them so far.

34:45.328 --> 34:47.852
[SPEAKER_02]: I just come across the basket, go fight the boss and I die.

34:47.892 --> 34:52.078
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I do have two more attempts to kill the boss right because I have two portals.

34:52.058 --> 34:53.400
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just to kill the boss.

34:53.881 --> 34:54.982
[SPEAKER_02]: The rest of the map is deleted.

34:55.563 --> 34:55.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

34:55.924 --> 34:59.549
[SPEAKER_01]: If you die in the bot, if I see that's all I was like, it's blind in the game.

34:59.669 --> 35:00.811
[SPEAKER_01]: It just happens.

35:00.831 --> 35:01.932
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have to discover it.

35:02.333 --> 35:06.539
[SPEAKER_01]: You're mapping and you're mapping and then contrary to the camp.

35:06.559 --> 35:09.303
[SPEAKER_01]: When you die in the campaign, everything gets reset.

35:09.363 --> 35:12.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the map, but all your enemies get reset.

35:12.688 --> 35:16.193
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like all your progress is like, I kid.

35:16.173 --> 35:18.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I can't even rush to where I was.

35:18.397 --> 35:25.771
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to actually kill through every, all this new content again, where, and then all of a sudden you get to maps, and it's different.

35:25.872 --> 35:29.659
[SPEAKER_01]: You die, and everything's still dead, even your drops are there.

35:29.699 --> 35:32.745
[SPEAKER_01]: But you gotta keep going through your map, but then the second one.

35:32.765 --> 35:37.995
[SPEAKER_01]: If you die in a boss fight, the whole map is erased, and it's just boss by that.

35:38.195 --> 35:43.600
[SPEAKER_01]: There's three inconstistencies there, and none of it's explained.

35:44.101 --> 35:44.501
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

35:44.521 --> 36:00.717
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was like, am I meant to purposefully skip the boss like I guess I am because the fact is when you loop around and kill everything else and complete the rest of the objectives besides the boss, a checkpoint will spawn right where you are standing so that you could teleport to the boss.

36:00.757 --> 36:04.000
[SPEAKER_02]: But in my head I'm just going like, why not just let me fight the boss?

36:03.980 --> 36:05.949
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the downside to what I don't understand?

36:06.030 --> 36:11.998
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the downside to I think I boss rushing like when they is if you stop it

36:12.451 --> 36:18.059
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you kill the boss the first time, but if I don't kill the boss, I'm still right there at the boss.

36:18.099 --> 36:19.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I get to just try the boss again.

36:19.501 --> 36:20.442
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to get the loot.

36:21.043 --> 36:22.986
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't get to complete the rest of the map.

36:23.867 --> 36:24.007
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

36:24.207 --> 36:26.611
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just, it didn't really make any sense to me.

36:26.631 --> 36:40.770
[SPEAKER_02]: And a couple times I missed out on, uh, uh, altars just because I, you know, whatever, wasn't paying attention or didn't think something through with a boss fight, die, I'm like,

36:40.750 --> 36:45.216
[SPEAKER_02]: But in general, I did have a really good time playing it this week, the build feels fun.

36:45.236 --> 36:55.510
[SPEAKER_02]: I just wish there was a little bit more stuff to do in endgame, and more than anything, I just wish the campaign was shorter so that I could run another character, because I really, really would like to play another character.

36:55.590 --> 37:02.259
[SPEAKER_02]: I almost started rolling one this week, but I was like, I'm going to get to a chance to finally play it by the time I go back to work.

37:03.761 --> 37:06.825
[SPEAKER_01]: So another character that interests me is

37:08.240 --> 37:13.925
[SPEAKER_01]: arranged character like bow and arrow that does poison and bleed using what's cool.

37:14.826 --> 37:14.926
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

37:16.047 --> 37:17.368
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like any of them.

37:17.408 --> 37:19.350
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe the voice even bleeding is there in a sentence.

37:19.630 --> 37:20.371
[SPEAKER_01]: I love thoughts.

37:20.691 --> 37:21.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I love thoughts.

37:21.352 --> 37:36.525
[SPEAKER_01]: Now one thing I don't like about path is that there's no limit list dot like in path one you could stack poison as much as you could as long as you could before the two second duration of poison expired, right?

37:36.505 --> 37:40.110
[SPEAKER_01]: But in Path 2, for some reason, they made poison and bleed the same.

37:40.230 --> 37:43.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure, they have their different durations and requirements.

37:43.855 --> 37:45.958
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the end of the day, it's, you can have one.

37:46.659 --> 37:47.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

37:47.400 --> 37:50.184
[SPEAKER_01]: One of this, if you want more than one, you can earn it.

37:50.585 --> 37:51.406
[SPEAKER_01]: You can support it.

37:51.446 --> 37:54.009
[SPEAKER_01]: You can stack it, but you have to do it.

37:54.530 --> 37:58.295
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the end of the day, they're exactly the same mechanic.

37:58.916 --> 38:05.145
[SPEAKER_01]: But just simply different damage types of different durations, which is very boring.

38:05.125 --> 38:13.316
[SPEAKER_01]: me being me, Tyler likes his dots, Tyler likes shooting an arrow and then going, and running in circles around the month till they die.

38:14.858 --> 38:17.201
[SPEAKER_01]: But then there's also supports that I've enjoyed.

38:17.221 --> 38:18.302
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they changed them.

38:18.362 --> 38:31.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't looked at it since point four came out, but there are supports that encourage both bleed and poison, which I thought was really cool when I noticed them, I don't know, when point one or point two, whatever it was.

38:31.079 --> 38:34.842
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's one that really interests me, but I'm in, I try to character.

38:34.863 --> 38:36.284
[SPEAKER_01]: So this one is on standard.

38:36.344 --> 38:38.526
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried it just the other night, just loading it.

38:38.546 --> 38:39.887
[SPEAKER_01]: My standard character going through it.

38:40.828 --> 38:44.912
[SPEAKER_01]: And like you need some, you need, you need clear.

38:45.753 --> 38:46.453
[SPEAKER_01]: You need clear.

38:46.513 --> 38:48.735
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a lot of the skills that they have or not.

38:48.896 --> 38:51.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I know they try to focus on that a bit this league.

38:52.239 --> 38:58.364
[SPEAKER_01]: So considering that's on their mind, I'm sure they'll greatly improve it for 0.5, but currently it's still a lot.

38:58.424 --> 38:59.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,

38:59.125 --> 39:00.246
[SPEAKER_01]: clear priority.

39:00.987 --> 39:11.601
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you do crappy boss damage because of clear that's fine, at least you're clearing, but if you do like a single target build, you're just screwed in this game.

39:12.222 --> 39:21.073
[SPEAKER_01]: And like even just going up to Gregory, you're just screwed like the amount of like enemies that rush at you in these hallways, like you can't do single targets.

39:21.133 --> 39:25.759
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, not saying that that wouldn't work for the build idea that I have.

39:25.839 --> 39:28.963
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just there's not a lot of both skills

39:28.943 --> 39:51.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Extreme I guess you could say hmm like they're all like nothing's just like I'm just shooting my bow and take that You know, I think maybe I shot would be like that, but everything else is like I'm shooting plants Oh, yeah, I'll just fireball or I don't know like they're all nothing's like I'm not legulous with anything plant related with the druid

39:52.012 --> 39:52.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, new.

39:52.933 --> 39:53.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

39:53.134 --> 39:54.275
[SPEAKER_01]: They added plant skills.

39:54.315 --> 39:55.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Big time for this one.

39:55.597 --> 40:04.349
[SPEAKER_01]: A skill that I love is entangled, but there's an inconsistency within tangled talks about slowing enemies, but it actually only slows movement speed.

40:04.509 --> 40:15.724
[SPEAKER_01]: When you hit start and then pause the game and see what it's doing to a boss, it's technically only movement speed, even though the skill actually says slow, which is supposed to be action speed.

40:15.704 --> 40:18.271
[SPEAKER_01]: so they're supposed to be acting like a temporal change.

40:18.993 --> 40:24.628
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully they fix that description to or or skill so that it's doing what it says.

40:24.729 --> 40:27.155
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I just like the legalist thing.

40:27.356 --> 40:28.920
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember

40:29.103 --> 40:39.702
[SPEAKER_01]: back when back in like 1982, when they were talking about like how cool it would be for bow characters to also have a melee capability like stabbing somebody with an arrow or a bow.

40:39.742 --> 40:48.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Devon added that yet and thought of Chris isn't just you know it's beta but looking for that whenever that comes because that'll add some really cool arc type.

40:48.577 --> 40:55.307
[SPEAKER_01]: aspects to the bow character because right now, everything bow related seems so magical.

40:55.467 --> 40:57.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I just, I just feel like I'm a witch.

40:57.250 --> 40:58.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I'm a sorceress.

40:58.472 --> 41:01.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel like I'm a bow character when I'm playing an archer.

41:02.338 --> 41:06.344
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it's the same for a number of ranged classes like I played Spears.

41:07.065 --> 41:09.268
[SPEAKER_02]: It's your literally throwing magic.

41:09.350 --> 41:14.558
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the the reason that I am these characters is I'm like I'm I'm hard core.

41:14.598 --> 41:15.780
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on the ground.

41:16.240 --> 41:17.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Why are you?

41:17.142 --> 41:21.248
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know like I'm I'm just I'm just fucking like a lesser gimme.

41:21.368 --> 41:22.089
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

41:22.109 --> 41:23.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Like just like yeah.

41:23.671 --> 41:24.813
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my fantasy.

41:24.893 --> 41:30.281
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be like Lightning bolt lightning bolt lightning bolt lightning bolt like that's not why I'm picking the carrot.

41:30.301 --> 41:31.543
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean sometimes it might be

41:31.523 --> 41:35.896
[SPEAKER_01]: But it would be nice to also not be right now.

41:35.956 --> 41:41.112
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel like no matter what class I pick, I'm a witch Look on melee and that'll be molten strike

41:41.176 --> 41:43.620
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you can't be like with that one, right?

41:43.640 --> 41:45.684
[SPEAKER_01]: The more they've released, right?

41:45.704 --> 41:46.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.

41:46.606 --> 41:50.753
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still doing minion instability, which I'm having a great time with.

41:50.994 --> 41:51.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely loving it.

41:51.915 --> 42:00.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've like min-maxed the whole like zombie timing for like what supports to have a zombie so they don't explode too quickly or too not.

42:00.491 --> 42:04.939
[SPEAKER_01]: And same with my skeletons, I love the damage.

42:04.919 --> 42:17.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, again, I know I'm skipping lead content, so I know I'm missing out on optimizing my gear, but in terms of drops, I'm still at like 40% resist for two of them, and 75 for one.

42:18.326 --> 42:24.919
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no really difficult time finding gear that's for myself, again, I know I'm skipping lead content.

42:24.899 --> 42:30.328
[SPEAKER_01]: But one thing I'm having a really, really tough time with this physical damage.

42:31.129 --> 42:36.698
[SPEAKER_01]: And path one had a lot of different ways to deal with physical damage.

42:36.818 --> 42:39.382
[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't have to do armor, right?

42:40.103 --> 42:45.912
[SPEAKER_01]: But in this game, when you aren't mitigating in path two, when you're not mitigating damage,

42:45.892 --> 42:48.594
[SPEAKER_01]: you are taking massive chunks of damage.

42:49.535 --> 42:52.518
[SPEAKER_01]: So in path one, like I could have endurance charges, right?

42:52.618 --> 42:56.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Even just two or three would be a huge amount, right?

42:56.141 --> 43:13.317
[SPEAKER_01]: You couple that with something like in feeble, and even if it's only doing 15% like 15% of the boss's damage is huge, or you add something like Arctic armor and path one, and if you're stationary, you know, you just focus on being stationary, whenever you're not actually casting, or including casting,

43:13.297 --> 43:16.622
[SPEAKER_01]: you're taking what it was a 20% physical damage mitigation.

43:16.662 --> 43:17.383
[SPEAKER_01]: It's flat.

43:17.423 --> 43:27.578
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there was just the, there were a lot of really good non-armor ways to take physical damage, or at least mitigated in path to there's nothing except for armor.

43:28.178 --> 43:31.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, sure there's an feeble, and I'm, I'm using an feeble, but,

43:31.505 --> 43:37.494
[SPEAKER_01]: in versus in path to cost a million dollars to cast.

43:37.534 --> 43:39.878
[SPEAKER_01]: They either so expensive, right?

43:39.938 --> 43:51.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, as a joke, but not a joke in path of building in POB, and I'm like, okay, these are the four supports I want for my curse.

43:52.296 --> 43:59.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I get a warning on the bottom that says, you don't have enough mana to cast this curse, this skill.

44:00.125 --> 44:02.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And what, that's supposed to last like 12 seconds?

44:02.948 --> 44:06.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, well, I have other crap to do with my man a two.

44:07.332 --> 44:18.723
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's one of those things like where I'm taking huge amount of damage from some dumbass crossbowl or some tentacle from an enemy that I didn't see because it blends in with the terrain.

44:19.284 --> 44:23.448
[SPEAKER_01]: But I have no options because I need my intelligence for my sector.

44:24.049 --> 44:27.432
[SPEAKER_01]: And if I don't put this intelligence into my sector,

44:27.412 --> 44:28.274
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't equip it.

44:28.835 --> 44:30.359
[SPEAKER_01]: I need my rattling skeletons.

44:30.399 --> 44:31.722
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what the skills for.

44:31.823 --> 44:33.066
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what the items for.

44:33.707 --> 44:42.488
[SPEAKER_01]: And so sure, I could go down and get this armor, but now I need strength to equip that gear, which means now I can't equip my rattling sector.

44:43.130 --> 44:44.593
[SPEAKER_01]: And so like,

44:44.573 --> 45:01.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually don't have a way to deal with physical damage because even when I focus huge amounts of my tree on energy shield, like one crossbowl, one crossbowl, for some reason that sounds weird, is that what it's called?

45:02.464 --> 45:05.569
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, one crossbowl, a bolt from a crossbowl, a bolt from a crossbowl,

45:05.549 --> 45:15.688
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it takes off like a thousand, because I don't have much physical damage mitigation, so I'll have two thousand energy shield while in two hits it's gone.

45:15.728 --> 45:23.001
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the stacking health in path two is not the same as stacking health in path one.

45:22.981 --> 45:36.594
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, when now that I'm, if I stack health, including, like, or just like my, my health in general, which is life and energy, it's not the same, it's not a good equivalent, it's not a good defense to physical damage.

45:37.376 --> 45:40.163
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, I'm feeling obligated.

45:40.143 --> 45:49.296
[SPEAKER_01]: to do either revision or armor, and I feel like energy shield with the exception of doing something that has absolutely stupid recovery, which would require a unique item.

45:49.957 --> 45:59.350
[SPEAKER_01]: There's really not a basic element of physical damage mitigation in the game currently, and I'm finding that that's actually a very big hindrance to me so far.

45:59.330 --> 46:04.897
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like though that you wouldn't, you're not on that page because you're doing armor with your build, right?

46:05.357 --> 46:27.143
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm going armor currently armor and yes, but I don't know if I'll keep that up, but there, I mean, because there's quite a bit of increases on the left hand side for both of them, but I also freeze, so I'm pouncing in and basically freezing almost right away, so

46:27.123 --> 46:37.664
[SPEAKER_02]: I, there is still times where I will get those like one-off hits where I can't figure out what happened, but yeah, my guy is pretty high on armor and hopefully will be a little bit higher soon.

46:38.245 --> 46:44.457
[SPEAKER_02]: We can get a couple items, but yeah, my deaths have typically been

46:44.437 --> 46:57.311
[SPEAKER_02]: The some sort of heavy heavy d-gen that I can't figure out, even with like 68% chaos resistance, I'm like, I don't know what that one was, I'm not sure what just did that, or the odd one-off hits, just big slams.

46:57.932 --> 47:03.979
[SPEAKER_02]: But there hasn't been a ton of, I haven't had a ton of dying, but again, I think a lot of that comes to everything being frozen.

47:04.299 --> 47:05.661
[SPEAKER_02]: So hard to die if things can't hit you.

47:06.281 --> 47:06.442
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

47:06.982 --> 47:13.009
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but the wolf is a way faster active playstyle than I had originally planned to play.

47:12.989 --> 47:15.251
[SPEAKER_02]: like you're like a monk or a little slower.

47:15.451 --> 47:16.152
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's like a monk.

47:16.172 --> 47:19.935
[SPEAKER_02]: You're jumping everywhere all over the place leaping from one pack to the next.

47:19.995 --> 47:21.937
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fun in the sense that everything's dying.

47:22.318 --> 47:27.482
[SPEAKER_02]: It has incredible single target strength damage, but it's very quick.

47:27.542 --> 47:30.225
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a slow jaunt.

47:30.285 --> 47:34.909
[SPEAKER_02]: I was talking with Ethan on Christmas day and he was saying, I just want my RF to come back.

47:35.109 --> 47:36.891
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I want my RF MPOE2.

47:37.972 --> 47:41.275
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me my skill where I can just turn it on and just go for a

47:41.896 --> 47:42.637
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.

47:42.657 --> 47:42.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:43.538 --> 47:47.864
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, honestly, that's like M-I, but you have to have four seconds at downtime.

47:48.465 --> 47:48.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

47:49.086 --> 47:49.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

47:50.387 --> 47:57.697
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, uh, yeah, I, it's still going to probably keep my interest for a little bit longer because there's a couple things I'd like to try.

47:58.098 --> 48:06.469
[SPEAKER_02]: And then either I'm going to go back to playing in a different game or I'm going to suck it up in level up a sorceress, but I just don't know why I would do it.

48:06.668 --> 48:07.790
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what is it?

48:08.010 --> 48:15.783
[SPEAKER_01]: If you felt the motivation to suck it up and tolerate the lengthy campaign, what would the sorceress provide you?

48:16.304 --> 48:16.805
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you be?

48:16.825 --> 48:19.089
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to try the new vicinity.

48:19.549 --> 48:20.110
[SPEAKER_02]: I have no clue.

48:20.691 --> 48:21.392
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't even, yeah.

48:21.412 --> 48:24.778
[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting because each one of those gin

48:24.758 --> 48:31.472
[SPEAKER_01]: A tendency notes is two points, like you could have all four with your ascension, if I remember it correctly.

48:31.512 --> 48:41.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Like two points, you get the travel note and then the notable of the keystone, whatever you call them in the ascension, and one of them is the gin power.

48:41.093 --> 48:57.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, so you could go for many and the one thing, the one that interested be three out of the four are based on commands, but one of them is passive and the beetle one is the passive one, and that one interests me because that's like in the lieu of corpses, you know what I mean?

48:57.532 --> 48:59.136
[SPEAKER_01]: What would you take with it though?

48:59.116 --> 49:01.099
[SPEAKER_01]: And nothing else interests me in the whole thing.

49:01.119 --> 49:03.883
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like every single ascendancy, unfortunately.

49:03.903 --> 49:07.728
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like one thing, one node interests me out of all of them.

49:08.689 --> 49:11.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Like none of the ascents interests me at all.

49:11.874 --> 49:12.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:12.795 --> 49:16.901
[SPEAKER_01]: The shaman actually was one, but it wasn't because it was exciting.

49:16.941 --> 49:19.064
[SPEAKER_01]: It just made things practical.

49:19.745 --> 49:21.447
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just good practical sense.

49:21.568 --> 49:29.038
[SPEAKER_01]: So if I went to with the shaman, they have that 120 plus flat spirit.

49:29.018 --> 49:34.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, with no charms, which right now, to me, unless like two charms is like two.

49:34.570 --> 49:37.997
[SPEAKER_02]: You still have to have a belt piece that gave you enough open slots, but yes.

49:38.779 --> 49:38.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

49:39.240 --> 49:39.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:39.640 --> 49:39.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:39.801 --> 49:40.502
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good point.

49:40.542 --> 49:40.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Good point.

49:41.905 --> 49:46.555
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, once you hit maps, you should be at three centimeters no matter what, right?

49:47.345 --> 49:57.877
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's the, um, along that, there's that tree of two notables that gives you really good defense, uh, all based on what is it called adaptation.

49:58.978 --> 49:59.058
[UNKNOWN]: Yep.

49:59.078 --> 49:59.159
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

49:59.179 --> 49:59.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:59.619 --> 50:01.641
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, that's good there.

50:01.681 --> 50:06.367
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's three and, uh, who gives a crap about the fourth one, but there was a fourth one.

50:06.387 --> 50:11.172
[SPEAKER_01]: There was also practically spawned as the first one, which the game doesn't explain.

50:11.453 --> 50:12.694
[SPEAKER_01]: But that on did.

50:12.674 --> 50:15.177
[SPEAKER_01]: You basically have to take it and then see what it does.

50:15.958 --> 50:18.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, so super, super.

50:18.341 --> 50:21.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Just think like, Oracle, hey, want some hidden nodes?

50:21.506 --> 50:25.451
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't know if you like them, but here we go.

50:27.053 --> 50:32.860
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, whatever bonded means, I'm sure that would be great because at the end of the day, you're going to have rooms in your gear anyway.

50:33.361 --> 50:40.150
[SPEAKER_01]: So assuming a regular room is capable of some sort of

50:40.130 --> 50:41.392
[SPEAKER_01]: then great.

50:42.213 --> 50:46.719
[SPEAKER_01]: So that one makes practical sense for almost any build that I'm doing.

50:46.879 --> 50:51.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Also the pathfinder has some good practical sense to them as well.

50:53.068 --> 50:58.595
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just like lots that any build can use within the pathfinder as long as you're fine with that side of the tree.

51:00.839 --> 51:04.804
[SPEAKER_01]: But ascensions to me, there be on to practical.

51:04.784 --> 51:11.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I mean, I want to be excited by them, like that was my problem with the Necromancer in Path 1, right?

51:11.632 --> 51:17.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was always the Necromancer because it made sense, but it was so boring.

51:18.159 --> 51:26.349
[SPEAKER_01]: There was nothing in it that excited me, whereas you know what's funny, the occultist in Path 1, you know what, really excited me about the occultist?

51:26.949 --> 51:29.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus 60 to chaos res.

51:29.911 --> 51:34.158
[SPEAKER_01]: That node was awesome, like how great, like I'm like, yes.

51:34.960 --> 51:37.524
[SPEAKER_01]: The rarest resist modifier in the game.

51:37.564 --> 51:39.888
[SPEAKER_01]: I got a plus 60 of that F all of you.

51:40.249 --> 51:40.830
[SPEAKER_01]: I got it.

51:41.852 --> 51:45.979
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, to me that was like, that for some reason that excited me, that was worth it.

51:45.959 --> 51:51.765
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's very little in path one where an ascension actually excites me.

51:51.965 --> 51:52.365
[SPEAKER_01]: Path 2.

51:52.506 --> 51:53.607
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just practiced.

51:53.627 --> 51:54.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, yes, path 2.

51:54.508 --> 52:01.254
[SPEAKER_01]: The shaman, good practical sense, but I miss out on 104% minion damage if I'm going minions.

52:02.015 --> 52:03.797
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, I mean, there.

52:03.957 --> 52:08.341
[SPEAKER_02]: I would know what that difference is though, made up with the oracle.

52:08.361 --> 52:09.222
[SPEAKER_02]: But percentage difference.

52:09.242 --> 52:10.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's not the shaman.

52:10.303 --> 52:11.184
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the shaman.

52:11.484 --> 52:12.085
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

52:12.065 --> 52:24.758
[SPEAKER_01]: oh it definitely would make up for the problem is is with starting trees it's available right away so you're getting like for me to level basically it is like you you have to focus on it separately

52:24.957 --> 52:28.041
[SPEAKER_01]: So, where does your damage come from if you're not getting it right away?

52:28.702 --> 52:29.523
[SPEAKER_01]: E, right?

52:29.924 --> 52:34.931
[SPEAKER_01]: And my problem with these games is if I'm going armor, well, that's not helping me in a boss fight.

52:35.492 --> 52:38.696
[SPEAKER_01]: The game literally says it doesn't, in a boss fight.

52:38.776 --> 52:42.842
[SPEAKER_01]: It says it's really good against little hits and really inefficient against big hits.

52:42.882 --> 52:44.064
[SPEAKER_01]: The description says that.

52:44.304 --> 52:52.315
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it kind of discourages a massive investment for the sake of, you know, investment, right?

52:52.295 --> 52:53.036
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.

52:53.557 --> 52:58.066
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a tough situation for me right now just to find something that's exciting, but also efficient.

52:58.086 --> 53:04.017
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm really liking my build for what it is, but it's not rarers that are my biggest enemy.

53:04.057 --> 53:05.620
[SPEAKER_01]: It's those damn crossbowmen.

53:06.802 --> 53:07.804
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the crossbowmen.

53:10.168 --> 53:12.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Crossbowl, crossbowl, crossbowl.

53:12.713 --> 53:15.236
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what though I've had a lot of fun.

53:15.396 --> 53:26.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I've had my frustrations of course because of cross-bolt men and women or monsters, but I've enjoyed it and I've enjoyed the min-maxing aspect of it.

53:26.569 --> 53:30.774
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun to finally find a version of the game.

53:30.814 --> 53:36.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to the infusion of power notable that allows me to have power charges easily in a boss fight.

53:37.962 --> 53:41.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just got to find a

53:42.430 --> 53:48.407
[SPEAKER_01]: and also have enough intelligence to hold the latest version of a rattling sector.

53:49.248 --> 53:54.875
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, that's been my struggle is trying to get a balance between everything for herald device.

53:55.536 --> 53:56.537
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a little bit of a buy-stoo.

53:57.379 --> 54:04.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, for herald to run herald device, it's basically what allows you to do cold damage and then chatter everything and blow stuff up in it.

54:04.808 --> 54:05.489
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

54:05.669 --> 54:06.871
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the same as what it was.

54:06.891 --> 54:08.092
[SPEAKER_02]: It was purely one.

54:08.253 --> 54:09.935
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's exactly what it was, okay.

54:09.955 --> 54:17.905
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very similar, but getting it at max level, but also being able to, uh,

54:17.885 --> 54:19.748
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not just hold the weapon actually.

54:19.768 --> 54:29.965
[SPEAKER_02]: Use the, I don't know what it's called, but the spirit gem for just, you just change generate rage all the time, but that's super high strength.

54:30.626 --> 54:31.748
[SPEAKER_02]: So real fun.

54:33.791 --> 54:34.332
[SPEAKER_02]: It has been fun.

54:34.372 --> 54:39.100
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been fun trying to dig around with this build and trying to figure out what works for me and what doesn't work for me and

54:39.873 --> 54:47.307
[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite part of the game, it really is and despite the fact that we have our criticisms, I do apologize.

54:47.327 --> 54:48.008
[SPEAKER_01]: I interrupted you.

54:48.228 --> 54:56.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's point four is in the decent state for beta for being able to just

54:56.123 --> 55:15.212
[SPEAKER_01]: figure stuff out like there's a lot that of course needs work like I you know my person experience as an example but um this has been the first iteration of the beta where it's been worth trying to figure things out I guess I could say and that's that's my favorite part of POE trying the blind thing trying your own making it work seeing how far you can get.

55:15.833 --> 55:17.696
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree with you.

55:17.817 --> 55:25.570
[SPEAKER_02]: It's and I've played this is the most I played with the Atlas passive even though I still really really missed the POE1 Atlas passive experience.

55:26.372 --> 55:30.299
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but I tried playing around with this one like, oh hey, maybe I'll try something different.

55:30.419 --> 55:30.940
[SPEAKER_02]: It's.

55:30.920 --> 55:38.748
[SPEAKER_02]: It's definitely not, you know, it's creative, you don't feel like you're doing, you know, as much fun as what you do in purely one, but it has been fun.

55:38.768 --> 55:39.208
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been good.

55:39.228 --> 55:41.670
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, it won't, I know won't keep me for a super long time.

55:41.710 --> 55:48.277
[SPEAKER_02]: I must say I decided to roll something else, but you need a bonus XP% or movement speed or something.

55:48.297 --> 55:59.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you play with my bow and narrow idea of bleeding poison and see what you come up with and let me know what skill you chose.

56:00.383 --> 56:17.143
[SPEAKER_01]: What seems no don't don't met yet same skill Well, yeah, ob's Justin don't mess with me here hang on no stop sorry you're making me get up

56:17.123 --> 56:22.113
[SPEAKER_01]: P-P-P-O-E-2-Wiki.net.

56:22.133 --> 56:23.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and you don't care what a tendency?

56:24.498 --> 56:38.946
[SPEAKER_01]: No, add-mixer, support skills which cause damaging hits, bleeding inflicted by those hits is more effective against poison enemies, and poison inflicted by support skills is more effective against bleeding enemies.

56:38.926 --> 56:47.501
[SPEAKER_01]: 20% more magnitude of bleeding inflicted against poison enemies and 20% more magnitude of poison inflicted by but against bleeding enemies.

56:49.264 --> 56:49.825
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, see.

56:49.846 --> 56:51.488
[SPEAKER_02]: It's that what else?

56:52.070 --> 56:53.953
[SPEAKER_02]: What else benefits both of them?

56:53.993 --> 56:55.055
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.

56:55.175 --> 56:55.896
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you need?

56:57.940 --> 56:58.521
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.

56:58.687 --> 57:01.572
[SPEAKER_02]: How did you design your bill?

57:02.012 --> 57:02.754
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, support skill.

57:02.774 --> 57:06.460
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, found a support skill that I, that would be the business.

57:07.201 --> 57:08.764
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the business.

57:09.164 --> 57:14.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, unfortunately, that's the state that I'm in in terms of the available.

57:14.112 --> 57:17.198
[SPEAKER_01]: I do agree with you options.

57:17.458 --> 57:18.720
[SPEAKER_01]: That's more exciting to me.

57:18.700 --> 57:29.745
[SPEAKER_02]: extensions and skills I'll say to you then that it's tough when you're trying to mess around with builds right now and pewy too because it doesn't really feel like it's there where you can do a ton of just like that.

57:29.765 --> 57:32.491
[SPEAKER_02]: Create your own idea and see if you can make it work.

57:32.511 --> 57:33.934
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very, very hard to do that.

57:34.215 --> 57:34.415
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.

57:34.956 --> 57:35.658
[SPEAKER_02]: In pewy.

57:36.019 --> 57:36.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I do.

57:36.520 --> 57:47.327
[SPEAKER_01]: and and though I've been making like cutting down a little bit the my interest level in the assumptions, I would rather have an ascension boring, but not limiting.

57:47.728 --> 57:54.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Like to me, add mixture, having the bleeding in poison benefits, that's better as a support than

57:54.003 --> 58:03.280
[SPEAKER_01]: gating that behind an ascension because then when you're that ascension you're like, oh, I have to do this as this ascension or it's only one of the two options.

58:03.320 --> 58:10.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather have it as a support that you can throw on, and I'd rather have more boring ascensions that are generic that any build can use.

58:11.215 --> 58:12.417
[SPEAKER_01]: And so,

58:12.397 --> 58:19.365
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, one, my criticism is a path one is when you were in a sense and you, I felt like I had to play one of two ways.

58:19.805 --> 58:19.926
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

58:20.426 --> 58:21.007
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

58:21.047 --> 58:23.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Whereas with, and that's not always the case.

58:23.369 --> 58:26.433
[SPEAKER_01]: You could come up with creative ways to expand that a little bit.

58:26.453 --> 58:32.239
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the end of the day, path one is, or path two is doing a much better job at generalizing.

58:32.440 --> 58:34.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, that does come with a lack of excitement.

58:34.762 --> 58:38.927
[SPEAKER_01]: But path two is doing a good job in my opinion of, of,

58:38.907 --> 58:45.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Generalizing ascensions so that no matter the build you're playing, it could be a decent option for you.

58:45.700 --> 58:48.525
[SPEAKER_01]: As a minion player, minions are a great example.

58:48.565 --> 58:50.409
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no minion ascendancy.

58:51.050 --> 58:53.294
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't feel like you have to be a necromancer.

58:53.655 --> 58:59.025
[SPEAKER_01]: I look at the witch, and I'm like, wow, all of those suck for minions.

59:00.153 --> 59:02.817
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost like they tried not to make them do for me, guys.

59:03.698 --> 59:03.838
[SPEAKER_01]: Really?

59:03.858 --> 59:05.701
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're the ones that have the minion starting notes.

59:05.721 --> 59:18.138
[SPEAKER_01]: But then, you know, unlike it's just one of those things where it's like I would, I appreciate the variety and the options that I have, the non obligatory options that I have for whatever archetype I'm looking for.

59:19.039 --> 59:23.185
[SPEAKER_01]: I could be the shaman and go with my poison bleed mixture and there's nothing stupid about that.

59:23.726 --> 59:24.827
[SPEAKER_01]: What's wrong with that?

59:24.807 --> 59:29.493
[SPEAKER_01]: And one great thing about Path 2 is that I get to choose my attribute notes.

59:30.134 --> 59:32.437
[SPEAKER_01]: The attribute highway is up to me.

59:32.618 --> 59:37.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I can do all decks starting from the Templar, and how amazing is that in Pathland.

59:38.546 --> 59:43.052
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a conversation we could have ever had in Path 2 or Path 1.

59:43.032 --> 59:44.855
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I'm all over the map with the path one.

59:44.875 --> 59:48.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you start as a Templar or in this game is currently just the druid.

59:48.741 --> 59:51.466
[SPEAKER_01]: You start as a druid and path one, your strength and it.

59:51.806 --> 59:52.147
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

59:53.108 --> 59:54.010
[SPEAKER_01]: You have no choice.

59:54.070 --> 01:00:00.180
[SPEAKER_01]: You are stretching to get your 155 decks in this game.

01:00:00.160 --> 01:00:12.119
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I still think there's a pretty big imbalance between what the requirements of gear and skills have versus how many attributes you or the amount of attributes you get on the tree.

01:00:12.659 --> 01:00:16.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think there's quite the stretch, like it doesn't allow for variety.

01:00:16.105 --> 01:00:26.321
[SPEAKER_01]: For example, me needing int and being concerned, like I don't feel like I can use a rattling sector and also invest into armor gear.

01:00:26.962 --> 01:00:28.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I can.

01:00:28.780 --> 01:00:33.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I can really, like, 200 int and 150 strength.

01:00:34.167 --> 01:00:34.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man.

01:00:34.708 --> 01:00:36.090
[SPEAKER_01]: You can get a lot and ring the bell.

01:00:36.731 --> 01:00:37.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Capitets.

01:00:38.713 --> 01:00:45.362
[SPEAKER_01]: But to need that gear, just so I can use the basics is odd.

01:00:46.083 --> 01:00:51.210
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I should be able to get the basics to equip the basics.

01:00:51.190 --> 01:00:58.725
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if I want to go beyond the basics, fine, but to require R and G for the basics, that's odd.

01:01:00.027 --> 01:01:06.600
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know enough about like how it works with regards to just straight up drops because I have no problem going on trading.

01:01:07.407 --> 01:01:10.831
[SPEAKER_02]: Fixing my resists and fixing my stats wherever I can make them work.

01:01:12.293 --> 01:01:17.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the soul of self found is not my thing, so from trade perspective, it's been great.

01:01:17.941 --> 01:01:20.324
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the only way to play Justin and three.

01:01:21.045 --> 01:01:22.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, well, I'm glad you had a good week.

01:01:22.367 --> 01:01:26.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Good Christmas week, too, for family and good week for P.O.E.

01:01:26.051 --> 01:01:26.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Land, that's nice.

01:01:27.573 --> 01:01:30.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have any plans you're hosting people for New Year's this year?

01:01:31.879 --> 01:01:36.385
[SPEAKER_02]: People coming over New Year's Eve and we will be recording just.

[SPEAKER_02]: after yeah this comes out this comes out around before New Year's Eve but New Year's Eve is this week yep that's what it is.
