It's episode 348! We've been in GGG's new 0.5 Rise of the Ancients patch for a week now and we've both put a ton of time into it. One person's mapping and one person's campaigning (you'll never guess who's who). Path of Exile 2 has gone through lots of ups and downs so far and its young life, and hopefully Runes of Aldur keeps pushing it in a positive direction. As always, thank you so much for your listens. We love your faces.

00:56.302 --> 01:01.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I still have an opportunity to get this literally This is why I picked the book.

01:01.985 --> 01:02.946
[SPEAKER_00]: I obviously this cover

01:04.873 --> 01:11.067
[SPEAKER_00]: It says she was an unwilling ruler of all, I mean, obviously, but this and the very first sentence on the back.

01:11.823 --> 01:12.824
[SPEAKER_00]: poor Katie.

01:14.285 --> 01:14.825

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there you go.

01:17.927 --> 01:18.287
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.

01:19.308 --> 01:19.668
[SPEAKER_00]: How are you?

01:19.768 --> 01:20.549
[SPEAKER_00]: I was we can.

01:20.649 --> 01:21.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, shanji.

01:21.609 --> 01:22.210
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be good.

01:23.010 --> 01:36.198
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how there's like sometimes 7% like, you know, you're on like Google TV or whatever it is and he's like, oh, if I movie 7% no way is that 7% and like some movies that I love because I may be probably because of expectations.

01:36.218 --> 01:36.379
[SPEAKER_00]: Like,

01:37.199 --> 01:38.340
[SPEAKER_00]: They've actually been pretty good.

01:38.360 --> 01:43.002
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just whoever rated it decided to like, Oh, the graph to this with that.

01:43.022 --> 01:44.783
[SPEAKER_00]: But like the story was actually decent.

01:44.803 --> 01:46.604
[SPEAKER_00]: The acting is good.

01:46.844 --> 01:49.685
[SPEAKER_00]: So of course, almost every 100% movie I've ever seen.

01:49.725 --> 01:50.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like that was absolute trash.

01:52.026 --> 01:59.730
[SPEAKER_00]: And almost every low percentage movie that I've seen has been much better, not like not great, but better than that 7%.

02:00.650 --> 02:03.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Shonji is going to be better than that 7% for sure.

02:03.932 --> 02:04.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what's going

02:06.253 --> 02:09.837
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually, there's been a movie on my watch list for ages called Project Gemini.

02:09.937 --> 02:15.043
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, all right, well, whatever Gemini, I like, I've loved the video games, like the Gemini space series.

02:15.103 --> 02:19.688
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they've done a great job with that and I'm like a Project Gemini that the cover looks good.

02:19.708 --> 02:21.089
[SPEAKER_00]: It was 7% it was worse.

02:21.570 --> 02:25.514
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen, like, I couldn't believe how bad it was.

02:25.554 --> 02:27.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen some pretty bad movies, Justin.

02:28.117 --> 02:35.203
[SPEAKER_00]: Project Gemini It's up there don't don't don't don't that is not on this part of my list You haven't seen my any movies on my list now yet.

02:35.303 --> 02:39.746
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but I'm sorry Yeah, no, I'm really glad you got that list It doesn't feel better.

02:39.766 --> 02:48.513
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't watched any movies Like since we did this, I watched all excited I'm so excited for you to watch some of those shows.

[SPEAKER_01]: We are working through the bear almost done, actually.

03:01.635 --> 03:03.435

03:04.216 --> 03:04.756
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good show.

03:05.516 --> 03:08.917
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm reading the dungeon crawler carol book.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm really excited about that.

03:11.178 --> 03:12.679
[SPEAKER_01]: I really, really like it.

03:12.779 --> 03:14.179
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I've got like a third left.

03:15.019 --> 03:16.400
[SPEAKER_00]: But, uh, you are flying.

03:16.420 --> 03:16.880
[SPEAKER_00]: Good for you.

03:16.900 --> 03:17.640
[SPEAKER_00]: When do you read it?

03:17.860 --> 03:18.321
[SPEAKER_00]: Just a minute.

03:18.341 --> 03:20.401
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't really don't have time to like breathe.

03:20.421 --> 03:20.481
[SPEAKER_01]: No,

03:22.482 --> 03:42.812
[SPEAKER_01]: So I typically, before battle, get a chapter two in, but yeah, it's such a fun, I just, the premise is awesome, the story telling is great, and just as somebody who's played games, it's fun reading it, because you can kind of get into the, yeah, stuff, and it's hilarious, like it's, yeah, it's very, very, very good humor.

03:42.852 --> 03:45.534
[SPEAKER_01]: So, other than that, I played Papua, so.

03:46.414 --> 03:47.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice work at Path of Exile.

03:48.635 --> 03:51.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Kids, wife, kids, wife, I've heard of them.

03:52.337 --> 03:55.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, stayed home on Monday because my daughter was sick, so worked from home.

03:55.619 --> 04:01.082
[SPEAKER_01]: But of that mask, which one older younger, older, that she hates missing school.

04:01.562 --> 04:02.363
[SPEAKER_01]: She does, yeah.

04:02.423 --> 04:09.187
[SPEAKER_01]: So if she, yeah, she'll try to like talk herself out of throwing up and like almost die and to be like, okay,

04:09.887 --> 04:10.768
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't miss today.

04:10.848 --> 04:12.289
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's funny.

04:12.609 --> 04:15.051
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she made sure she was only sick for one day.

04:15.531 --> 04:16.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what she was sick.

04:17.332 --> 04:19.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's part of growing up.

04:19.934 --> 04:21.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you get those, uh, what is it?

04:21.916 --> 04:25.018
[SPEAKER_01]: When you get sick a lot, your immune system gets stronger.

04:26.291 --> 04:27.031
[SPEAKER_00]: that's what it is.

04:27.051 --> 04:32.554
[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking like some kind of joke or something that you're not coming up with no immune system.

04:32.595 --> 04:34.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Your camera's jittered a couple of times.

04:34.295 --> 04:35.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that going to be in the recording?

04:35.476 --> 04:36.417
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

04:36.537 --> 04:37.177
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not looking at me.

04:37.197 --> 04:37.637
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at you.

04:37.917 --> 04:39.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at me.

04:39.358 --> 04:40.059
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at you.

04:40.719 --> 04:41.359
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at me.

04:41.399 --> 04:41.980
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at you.

04:42.480 --> 04:43.981
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I noticed because I'm thoughtful.

04:44.581 --> 04:49.224
[SPEAKER_01]: It shows that it shows that your upload is much better than my upload.

04:49.284 --> 04:49.544
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

04:51.412 --> 04:54.214
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, also though, unless once.

04:54.575 --> 04:56.176
[SPEAKER_01]: And me here are having it out.

04:57.137 --> 04:59.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, don't even get me struggling.

04:59.419 --> 05:03.962
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm struggling right now to understand if it's tell us or if it's my firewall.

05:04.083 --> 05:08.246
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I'm replacing because I've been meaning to for a while replace my, my,

05:09.507 --> 05:13.269
[SPEAKER_01]: firewall and router that are running in the house here, but that won't come for a week.

05:13.429 --> 05:18.272
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't tell of that's the thing that's throttling it because I don't have another one to test.

05:18.312 --> 05:21.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have one to just put a throughput on and test it on my machine.

05:21.814 --> 05:28.158
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but yeah, my speeds have been brutal and if Logan turns on the computer to download a game,

05:29.325 --> 05:34.649
[SPEAKER_01]: It like, my ping will rock it in, uh, uh, our topic has been bad.

05:34.729 --> 05:36.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I, but I just get tired of calling them.

05:36.210 --> 05:37.110
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's frustrating.

05:37.170 --> 05:49.318
[SPEAKER_00]: They went from being quite inconsistent, but as a new company to getting somebody who really prioritized it and you were always getting like just above what you were paying for too, like they are scraping the, not even the bare minimum.

05:49.458 --> 05:49.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, uh,

05:50.519 --> 05:59.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to call my business rep with tell us for our offices and be like fix my house stuff or I'm going to just go everything to show.

05:59.610 --> 06:00.952
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take the whole business with me.

06:01.973 --> 06:04.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Shop still worse, but I know I don't want shop.

06:04.396 --> 06:04.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want shop.

06:04.957 --> 06:08.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, but like your jittery again and it's I hope I hope.

06:09.062 --> 06:31.196
[SPEAKER_00]: on it I don't know which one I hope for that it's your mind and time and I'll bet you it's because like I'm not going to go down skills I haven't seen you jitter no okay but you're all just like full up sexy oh that too yeah 97% up at 98 do you see me well I don't see your stats but I see you 52% 52% I'm normally up there with you

06:33.978 --> 06:36.859
[SPEAKER_00]: So you want to restart.

06:36.879 --> 06:38.060
[SPEAKER_00]: No, all right.

06:38.080 --> 06:39.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, good news folks.

06:39.020 --> 06:45.442
[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting our audio only podcast that just so happened to On occasion now start to include the video.

06:45.682 --> 06:46.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, whether there will be a job.

06:46.883 --> 06:58.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone has convenient though not not for any other reason for those of you were like No, we just No, it's just the video was there.

06:58.367 --> 06:58.887
[SPEAKER_00]: It's easier.

06:59.627 --> 07:01.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we changed things

07:02.248 --> 07:28.895
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... such a waste of my wikauziers i can't even do it for real for sure i was going to pick my nose just to show that i didn't care that we're on video but it couldn't even do it for real nope how's your week there's a good week um... you're great weather it's been nice been overcast and good um... the sun's been having a rough go with things that just like you know the whole lake you know he's eleven right so all the stuff that happens with eleven your

07:32.223 --> 07:49.236
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, being a little bit more, he's sensitive to kid and so even being a little bit more sensitive as he's going through this his buddies like he honestly he has the best friends at any parent could wish work kind of thing but he's starting to feel like, you know, notice when they're choosing to hang with someone else for a moment like it is.

07:50.457 --> 07:55.319
[SPEAKER_00]: They have such a good group of friends, but they don't always hang out together and that's never been a thing.

07:55.359 --> 07:59.561
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, he's just starting to notice when they choose to do something else instead of that door.

07:59.921 --> 08:02.262
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's not seeing when he's doing that to them.

08:02.282 --> 08:07.524
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just one of those things where the bedtimes are a little bit longer these days.

08:07.544 --> 08:10.465
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like, love you good night and smile at each other.

08:10.485 --> 08:12.366
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like sweet seeing the morning and now it's like...

08:13.246 --> 08:32.559
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll call you a few times and he's in tears, but legitimate tears, he's not like, you know, milk in the system because he's scared to fall asleep or something and so there's been lots of, I mean there's been lots of that this this past couple of weeks and my daughter being how she is she's such an empath with all that so.

08:34.240 --> 08:43.505
[SPEAKER_00]: She'll be crying when Oliver's finished crying, but she's crying because she's not allowed to come into his room after bed time and help come for it.

08:43.545 --> 08:47.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, because she's got a fall sleep, so just those funny little things.

08:47.607 --> 08:49.648
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh, it's stuff like that, of course you can.

08:50.808 --> 08:52.128
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's like, no, I can't do that.

08:52.148 --> 08:52.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the rules.

08:52.929 --> 08:57.230
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I'm in the middle of like telling her, like, no, I'm like, I made those.

08:59.671 --> 09:05.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So just the wonderful, fun dynamics of life as with 11 and 13-year-olds is good.

09:05.773 --> 09:09.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Dogs doing great, finished being neutered, I guess you could say.

09:10.314 --> 09:17.977
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the week of waiting's done, the cone is off and he's back to full of beans and that, things are good, things are good.

09:18.743 --> 09:24.226
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny because, you know, I don't, maybe you don't know, but when you, when you new to a dog, it changes their hormone levels, right?

09:24.266 --> 09:39.053
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a lot of vets that say you should new to your dog at like 12 to 18 months and we because with the foundation that we adopted the dog through, they said the newterings included, but for it to be included, you have to newter it within this time frame.

09:39.073 --> 09:41.214
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's like the 6th to 7 month age, right?

09:41.254 --> 09:43.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is, you know, in the past was fine.

09:43.615 --> 09:46.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Now apparently it's too early, but that was what

09:48.117 --> 09:59.441
[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't know this, but like a dog, if you neuter it at around the 18 to two year mark, it just like really fills out.

09:59.561 --> 10:03.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's some people that wait to neuter the dog just because they want their pit bull head to get really wide.

10:05.122 --> 10:19.167
[SPEAKER_00]: right where as apparently if you knew to the dog early it's not going to get the girth but it's bones are actually going to grow so it'll be taller than it was originally going to be interesting maybe that's the thing maybe it's not but that's what I've been learning this week

10:19.467 --> 10:26.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I we didn't have the choice of when we knew their dirt is so it's just you know looking into things and hearing where everybody else is saying and all that kind of stuff.

10:27.675 --> 10:34.602
[SPEAKER_00]: But then also of course it can change how your dog behaves right like there's like go go go go go go go that the testosterone levels can really.

10:35.784 --> 10:36.805
[SPEAKER_00]: feed into a dog, right?

10:36.825 --> 10:37.766
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to a dog park.

10:39.147 --> 10:43.832
[SPEAKER_00]: The unclipped dogs are like, always the ones that are like a lot more aggressive, right?

10:43.852 --> 10:44.132
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:44.152 --> 10:44.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:44.452 --> 10:44.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

10:45.353 --> 10:56.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was always wondering, like, hopefully, you know, our dog comes down and chills out a bit, but I was like bare minimum, like, I'm not thinking it's going to do like nothing or maybe a little bit.

10:58.314 --> 11:01.578
[SPEAKER_00]: Are dogs still a puppy, but he has really changed.

11:01.778 --> 11:08.446
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I didn't even consider the fact that it would be the cup half full aspect where the dog would be just way more calm around other dogs.

11:08.486 --> 11:12.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just didn't think that that was allowed to happen to my family, I guess.

11:12.831 --> 11:18.597
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been actually a really fun week bringing him back into the world without his cone and he's allowed to run around.

11:18.657 --> 11:18.798
[SPEAKER_00]: So.

11:19.318 --> 11:19.979
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a good week.

11:20.279 --> 11:24.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, none of that's like new and exciting for anybody else, but that was really cool for us.

11:24.925 --> 11:25.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Sun's getting braces.

11:26.046 --> 11:27.348
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all starting next week.

11:27.828 --> 11:30.792
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the, well, sorry if didn't do the D&D.

11:31.793 --> 11:34.776
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, I moved my D&D next week.

11:34.876 --> 11:36.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Doing the spacers as well.

11:36.860 --> 11:39.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he is, so my son's doing the spacers as well.

11:39.881 --> 11:41.222
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the.

11:41.242 --> 11:42.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will close him first.

11:42.983 --> 11:44.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's doing that first.

11:44.103 --> 11:44.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:44.443 --> 11:52.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, my wife message at the same time, and with what's happy can't, that's one thing I wish what's up did they let you mark messages as unread kind of thing.

11:52.827 --> 11:55.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you can mark a chat as unread, but not a message.

11:55.348 --> 11:59.830
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't think I have done with what's up that helps me is pin Christina to the top.

12:00.943 --> 12:03.084
[SPEAKER_01]: So that even if I look at it, at least it's a top.

12:03.264 --> 12:04.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do that.

12:04.544 --> 12:05.105
[SPEAKER_00]: I do that too.

12:06.325 --> 12:10.147
[SPEAKER_00]: I've put my phone on D&D, not realize my wife's the exception to D&D.

12:10.187 --> 12:11.667
[SPEAKER_01]: She was the one messaging me.

12:11.687 --> 12:14.969
[SPEAKER_00]: So I, I gotta be honest, he's getting the spacers.

12:15.109 --> 12:20.391
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this week, we're going to let him shove himself full of pop and popcorn because he won't be love that for a while too.

12:20.411 --> 12:23.152
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so pop too, I don't remember pop.

12:24.052 --> 12:25.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's a braces thing.

12:26.173 --> 12:28.134
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't actually gone any restrictions from.

12:28.154 --> 12:29.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, because it's all blue.

12:30.555 --> 12:31.996
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember popping on the list.

12:32.056 --> 12:33.696
[SPEAKER_01]: I do remember all the stuff he couldn't have.

12:34.517 --> 12:35.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

12:35.437 --> 12:35.837
[SPEAKER_01]: Suckers.

12:36.758 --> 12:37.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't use it.

12:38.318 --> 12:39.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, not it's been good.

12:39.279 --> 12:41.680
[SPEAKER_00]: My daughter's got about half of you that, of that left as well.

12:42.040 --> 12:43.921
[SPEAKER_00]: But then besides that, it's just been me.

12:45.061 --> 12:49.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I've gotten... Yeah, it's been fun.

12:49.263 --> 12:51.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I've been doing a lot of POE with my spare time.

12:52.184 --> 12:58.128
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's race weekend and it was the first maze race weekend.

12:58.268 --> 12:59.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's going to be so on the calendar.

12:59.589 --> 13:02.571
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Let's it's so boring.

13:02.611 --> 13:05.292
[SPEAKER_00]: They changed the rules for the monoco weekend.

13:05.312 --> 13:08.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which doesn't even end it still sucks.

13:08.575 --> 13:08.875
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

13:09.473 --> 13:20.064
[SPEAKER_00]: I was actually going to send a screenshot to our, um, our race chat because there was just an old school picture from age as it go where cars were racing three wide on Monaco.

13:20.604 --> 13:21.165
[SPEAKER_00]: No way.

13:21.465 --> 13:22.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Go Carlet.

13:23.147 --> 13:24.768
[SPEAKER_00]: No, just how race cars used to look.

13:25.449 --> 13:25.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.

13:25.970 --> 13:26.510
[SPEAKER_00]: How these to be?

13:27.491 --> 13:34.461
[SPEAKER_01]: is you know, on monochrome, there's no, there's no zone this year where they get to open the wings.

13:34.802 --> 13:35.002
[SPEAKER_01]: None.

13:35.363 --> 13:38.047
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a single zone on the entire track.

13:38.067 --> 13:38.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that makes sense.

13:39.028 --> 13:41.312
[SPEAKER_01]: That has not it's to use that new technology.

13:41.732 --> 13:41.972
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

13:42.833 --> 13:45.494
[SPEAKER_00]: there's not a long enough straight like you open in the tunnel.

13:46.454 --> 13:49.295
[SPEAKER_00]: It's too much of a curve to open both links.

13:49.695 --> 13:52.736
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I was just reading about that this week.

13:53.016 --> 13:55.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Now there's, yeah, no, no straight nowhere where they can do use it.

13:56.117 --> 13:58.558
[SPEAKER_01]: The only force D or S is almost the start finnistrate.

13:58.578 --> 13:59.679
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't even the tunnel before.

14:00.119 --> 14:01.479
[SPEAKER_00]: The tunnel would be way too dangerous.

14:02.059 --> 14:03.820
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, let's start finnistrate from before.

14:04.289 --> 14:07.954
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, fun though, dangerous, that's part of the job, right?

14:08.274 --> 14:08.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right.

14:09.716 --> 14:10.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Ask Roman.

14:11.078 --> 14:12.340
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a problem, just go straight through.

14:13.221 --> 14:13.641
[SPEAKER_00]: You're fine.

14:15.524 --> 14:19.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hey, how much cooler would that track be if they got rid of the chicane?

14:19.890 --> 14:20.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Why have the chicane?

14:20.751 --> 14:21.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Just let him go.

14:22.097 --> 14:30.764
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be awesome into that left and it's fast like that whole rest of that part until the really like crazy end in the short right, but it's actually fast.

14:30.784 --> 14:37.069
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my favorite part of the track is that that stretch after the terrible chicane is so fun.

14:37.529 --> 14:41.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the right and the left just before you get to the double right of the trees.

14:42.433 --> 14:44.394
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like the double right, but I love those.

14:45.518 --> 14:47.819
[SPEAKER_00]: double-corner's rather just basically one corner.

14:48.559 --> 14:49.160
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

14:49.580 --> 14:57.883
[SPEAKER_00]: China has one of those Mexico has one of those where it's just like two short right-hand honestly turns into like six turns.

14:58.683 --> 15:02.705
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not two it's too too slow too slow.

15:02.925 --> 15:09.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Well you remember sign fell for the last time I think he's talking about horse racing but it's the same thing like take it easy

15:15.719 --> 15:16.620
[SPEAKER_01]: That's Monica, yeah.

15:18.382 --> 15:19.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

15:19.643 --> 15:29.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway stuff, whatever, it's a race we can so that's wish we could quote that lots We do all the time To the next all came out heard of it.

15:30.233 --> 15:35.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sure did we we played it like a tiny bit last week before we recorded, but not much

15:36.719 --> 15:37.560
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we've played it some more.

15:38.521 --> 15:39.021
[SPEAKER_01]: We have.

15:39.922 --> 15:40.803
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw there was some stuff.

15:41.223 --> 15:55.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, obviously there were some stuff You want to know something funny about my long before we're getting a path of Exile obviously Well apparently a 70 pound dog has way more pee than a 20 pound dog which I'm used to make sense

15:56.833 --> 16:00.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, well, my 20 pound dog would not make the lawn yellow.

16:01.897 --> 16:03.678
[SPEAKER_00]: My 70 pound dog does.

16:03.698 --> 16:04.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Mmm.

16:05.839 --> 16:13.645
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a tough fix too, because I, when we have to kill it, it's not just like, there's like stuff you can give your dog, but I felt so bad.

16:13.685 --> 16:18.108
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, I don't want to like adjust the chemicals inside of my dog's body.

16:18.548 --> 16:20.429
[SPEAKER_01]: Just so that my grass stays green.

16:21.570 --> 16:22.270
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:22.290 --> 16:22.650
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

16:22.690 --> 16:23.811
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear you.

16:24.471 --> 16:25.091
[SPEAKER_00]: I hear you.

16:25.131 --> 16:26.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel into that option, though.

16:26.812 --> 16:30.553
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, what can I give this dog to save my lawns?

16:30.593 --> 16:36.095
[SPEAKER_00]: But to teach a dog to pee on driveways instead of lawns, I don't think you'll have one neighbor complaining ever.

16:36.555 --> 16:36.695
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

16:36.955 --> 16:42.437
[SPEAKER_00]: What we're saying now, what it does to my lawn now, I feel bad when my dog piece on someone else does.

16:42.597 --> 16:44.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Walk it and let it piss on somebody else as long.

16:45.605 --> 16:51.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one thing I wanted to do last week that I didn't, so, well, maybe I didn't, I don't remember.

16:51.289 --> 16:55.893
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to thank all the wiki workers, everybody who does updates to wiki stuff.

16:57.514 --> 16:58.815
[SPEAKER_00]: This is, well, this one is a huge one.

16:59.595 --> 17:03.879
[SPEAKER_00]: This, like, 0.5 changed insane amounts of stuff.

17:03.939 --> 17:09.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just a couple of items and classes and all that kind of stuff, but

17:15.690 --> 17:18.593
[SPEAKER_00]: like depending on how a paragraph is written.

17:19.193 --> 17:27.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you just need to change one or two words if something's changed, but sometimes it's just like, oh crap, just just because of how that's word, it's not like you would know any better at the time.

17:27.520 --> 17:33.145
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to just delete the whole paragraph and just re-explain it, but then that takes time because in PoE you get one,

17:34.806 --> 17:43.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Word wrong or you use like especially when it comes to ESL stuff if you're not using the proper word and English for this It could mean something else in a POE land.

17:43.950 --> 17:44.790
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a big deal, right?

17:45.450 --> 17:59.796
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just wanted to just throw a big shout out to all the wiki workers The POE 2 dot wiki dot net workers official zero shout out for Faxtra and Bandum ball no, yeah up

18:00.676 --> 18:13.780
[SPEAKER_00]: All of yours agreed only the peoe2.wakey.net workers agreed That's by the way for anybody listening the one the path of excel actually pays for him Yeah, which is great.

18:14.440 --> 18:14.660
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

18:15.000 --> 18:15.660
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's awesome.

18:15.820 --> 18:21.642
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the one we should support and click on There was a lot of stuff that happened this week.

18:21.922 --> 18:22.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.

18:23.582 --> 18:25.043
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a lot of hot fixes.

18:27.037 --> 18:28.960
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm not clicking on it.

18:28.980 --> 18:37.992
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't need to go through each one, actually some of them are just, I will touch on with my notes, because there were some of the things that came out in hot fixes that I was very thankful for.

18:38.013 --> 18:39.555
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't remember each of them.

18:40.276 --> 18:41.778
[SPEAKER_01]: And then obviously the point one patch was,

18:42.567 --> 18:43.348
[SPEAKER_01]: ginormous.

18:44.269 --> 18:45.169
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's weird.

18:45.229 --> 18:51.295
[SPEAKER_00]: So okay, so yeah, sure there's been some patches and they've had two posts for what they're working on.

18:52.075 --> 18:57.080
[SPEAKER_00]: One's kind of data because most of the what we're working on came out in the big point one patch that they had.

18:58.341 --> 18:58.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.

18:59.062 --> 19:10.588
[SPEAKER_00]: And then GGG actually had a session this week where their whole realm was down because they screwed up in one of the patches And it had to revert stuff and that didn't work and blah, blah, blah, blah.

19:10.608 --> 19:14.050
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, but now they have a second post of what they're working on.

19:14.190 --> 19:16.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't haven't actually gone through it.

19:16.472 --> 19:18.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think when was it posted?

19:19.393 --> 19:20.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Where's their what they're doing first?

19:20.614 --> 19:21.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've gone through it.

19:23.075 --> 19:25.737
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like yeah generic stuff

19:26.535 --> 19:28.596
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's good, all good things, all good things.

19:28.896 --> 19:31.617
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to ask you, like, have you cared about any of the MTX?

19:31.657 --> 19:34.819
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done, like, they have mystery boxes that we haven't talked about.

19:34.899 --> 19:36.659
[SPEAKER_00]: There's, like, new packs.

19:37.620 --> 19:39.641
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't honestly cared about any of it.

19:39.701 --> 19:40.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why.

19:40.321 --> 19:44.923
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's my little thing, like, where's all my other stuff I've paid for, you know?

19:45.103 --> 19:45.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

19:45.563 --> 19:46.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:47.184 --> 19:48.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I have looked at some of it.

19:50.225 --> 19:54.108
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm enjoying just what Path of Excel too looks like right now.

19:54.228 --> 19:58.251
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't really want to override with MTX right now.

19:58.731 --> 19:59.131
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

19:59.612 --> 20:01.133
[SPEAKER_00]: You just help me discover that about myself.

20:01.153 --> 20:01.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead, Kiko.

20:02.214 --> 20:05.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I actually, their artwork is incredible.

20:06.136 --> 20:09.599
[SPEAKER_01]: The design, the looks of the existing armors that I'm picking up.

20:09.719 --> 20:10.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I like them.

20:11.140 --> 20:15.183
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think if anything, I would actually rather scale MTX's.

20:15.783 --> 20:16.964
[SPEAKER_01]: then the look of my character.

20:17.144 --> 20:38.294
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, because I do tend to notice a skill empty x more than, you know, some armor piece that I'm wearing, but uh, yeah, I haven't haven't honestly, but also like the mystery ones I was talking with Logan because he's playing Pat the VxL both of my boys are playing and he was talking about the mystery box he's like, so are they.

20:39.469 --> 20:40.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they ever worth it?

20:40.650 --> 20:42.532
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, well, no, never.

20:42.873 --> 20:51.663
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, because you're just hoping to get the one thing out of that box, you know, that you're not guaranteed to get and you can't refund it.

20:51.703 --> 20:53.425
[SPEAKER_01]: The only benefit is you can't get doubles now.

20:54.663 --> 20:56.024
[SPEAKER_01]: and they will all come out later.

20:57.024 --> 21:05.569
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, no, it's great to support GG, but the reason I like mystery boxes is for the music.

21:05.689 --> 21:09.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I love their trailers and their videos for the MTX boxes.

21:10.131 --> 21:11.412
[SPEAKER_01]: For their own mystery boxes, sorry.

21:12.193 --> 21:12.533
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

21:13.133 --> 21:16.275
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we still use a mystery box music.

21:17.055 --> 21:20.217
[SPEAKER_00]: To wrap up, to wrap up, to wrap up, to wrap up, to wrap up, to wrap up,

21:21.117 --> 21:22.857
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on, I'm double checking, I can't remember.

21:23.578 --> 21:26.278
[SPEAKER_01]: What one do we use forever exiled?

21:27.099 --> 21:28.719
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I was so laryous song.

21:29.099 --> 21:30.600
[SPEAKER_00]: So laryous mystery box trailer.

21:30.720 --> 21:31.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was still using that one.

21:32.380 --> 21:35.081
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love for that dinner net, Job's song.

21:35.361 --> 21:37.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know it's not Job's song, but it is.

21:37.542 --> 21:38.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Job's song.

21:39.022 --> 21:44.143
[SPEAKER_00]: To be the trailer, but then our fifth favorite composer at GGG Community would be out of a job.

21:45.384 --> 21:45.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

21:46.584 --> 21:46.724
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

21:47.504 --> 21:49.045
[SPEAKER_01]: I do, that's why I like the music boxes,

21:51.245 --> 21:52.046
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't look at them.

21:52.086 --> 21:53.647
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't really looked at much of the MTX.

21:53.807 --> 21:56.889
[SPEAKER_01]: I turned on the Hideout.

21:57.429 --> 22:00.091
[SPEAKER_01]: The moving hideout like the active version of the hideout you can get.

22:00.891 --> 22:01.472
[SPEAKER_01]: You know I'm time out.

22:01.852 --> 22:01.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

22:02.632 --> 22:04.133
[SPEAKER_01]: But then hideouts as a whole thing.

22:04.153 --> 22:06.335
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to bring out because it's part of my- I can't know.

22:06.415 --> 22:08.356
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I'm- I may notes this whole week tie.

22:08.436 --> 22:10.718
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I- hard to believe but under the label.

22:10.918 --> 22:11.478
[SPEAKER_00]: I did type.

22:12.059 --> 22:12.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hang on.

22:12.659 --> 22:16.421
[SPEAKER_00]: I see a grammatical error in- in my notes.

22:16.501 --> 22:16.882
[SPEAKER_00]: Hang on.

22:20.684 --> 22:21.405
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there you go.

22:21.565 --> 22:25.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Goodness me, it can't have that bullet point, not showing the way it's supposed to, should post to.

22:26.008 --> 22:27.750
[SPEAKER_00]: So, no, you hit the nail on the head for me.

22:27.770 --> 22:31.953
[SPEAKER_00]: I, for some reason, it hadn't crossed my mind why I wasn't interested, but it's the same.

22:31.993 --> 22:36.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think that I look like a tit with all the different armor pieces that I have, and they're not like,

22:37.337 --> 22:50.803
[SPEAKER_00]: you know the same so kind of thing like they're not all leveling together right goodness cut get out of here you dumb camera anyway face okay let your hands really do anyway yeah maybe there's like a gesture thing that's turned on anyway um

22:52.447 --> 22:54.749
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, my boots will be like level 16.

22:54.869 --> 22:58.091
[SPEAKER_00]: My armors level 40, my head pieces level 30.

22:58.131 --> 23:00.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're not even matching in that regard, right?

23:00.553 --> 23:06.417
[SPEAKER_00]: Or like, sure, I might luck out and buy chance have a little bit more intelligence that I'm supposed to.

23:06.477 --> 23:08.859
[SPEAKER_00]: And so now I can have, you know, this piece rolled.

23:08.879 --> 23:10.440
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can actually equip it for a moment.

23:11.421 --> 23:13.563
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got like like an idiot.

23:14.043 --> 23:16.144
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time I look at my character, I'm like, that's not cool.

23:16.304 --> 23:19.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, at least the next time you get a little bit of a trade.

23:19.605 --> 23:21.766
[SPEAKER_01]: And you put it on, you see it with MTX.

23:21.846 --> 23:22.766
[SPEAKER_01]: You never see it.

23:22.906 --> 23:25.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Once you have the MTX on, your chest is always the MTX.

23:26.488 --> 23:28.568
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's funny because I prefer this.

23:28.608 --> 23:29.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I love seeing my character.

23:29.809 --> 23:31.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I love seeing how that stuff changes.

23:32.150 --> 23:34.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And it does look cool.

23:34.030 --> 23:37.511
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, these aren't criticisms to how the art looks.

23:38.112 --> 23:40.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just how item progression works, right?

23:40.573 --> 23:41.513
[SPEAKER_00]: They just don't match.

23:42.013 --> 23:50.324
[SPEAKER_00]: and which I guess is part of the motivation for getting some mtx, but at the same time you're right, that is a big part for me is I want to see what the gear actually looks like.

23:51.105 --> 23:56.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Once I'm completely bored with that, then I'll start equipping my stuff, but right now the only thing I'm doing is pets.

23:57.152 --> 24:24.632
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I'm equipping and it's I've spent like a probably a couple hundred dollars on pets always buying like everything under two bucks and then everything under three bucks I'm just running around with two ducks Blackwax I have sometimes I got for the two subs for you It was the one that they were doing for their oh, whatever twitching and then I was this time around to you Yeah, I still use the data to keep the original tiny little key little guy.

24:24.932 --> 24:25.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

24:26.357 --> 24:26.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

24:27.218 --> 24:27.719
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right on.

24:27.839 --> 24:28.820
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

24:29.020 --> 24:32.865
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, those things came out, but we, of course, haven't really cared.

24:33.486 --> 24:34.847
[SPEAKER_00]: My son was having a tough time.

24:35.468 --> 24:44.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He has, um, we bought him Path of Exile for his birthday and he had some points left over and he really wanted some MTX.

24:44.539 --> 24:44.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

24:45.520 --> 24:46.221
[SPEAKER_00]: And as a parent, I went,

24:47.082 --> 24:52.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't go down the road, but you know it was it was only a lot of spend what he had and so anyway He bought a really cool portal.

24:52.745 --> 25:06.032
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like one of the like sword masters Portals are always good portals awesome, but then he really really wanted a pet and and they don't really have a Affordable pets like even on sale the cheapest pet was like 13 dollars You know what I mean?

25:06.072 --> 25:10.655
[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't really ported or not even the wet as you know I mean different versions of five dollar pets and

25:11.755 --> 25:16.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I was actually really surprised that even at this point, because they're treating the beta like a full fledger lease in a way.

25:16.358 --> 25:28.884
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was really surprised they didn't have, you know, like a price difference, like here's your poor people, pets, here's your average salary pets and here's your, I don't care about money pets.

25:28.924 --> 25:30.365
[SPEAKER_00]: They must go on sale every now and then.

25:30.665 --> 25:36.408
[SPEAKER_00]: They do, but that's what we, that's when he went crazy was, oh, you know, that wasn't a wrong sale.

25:36.448 --> 25:38.830
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the cheapest one on sale was around 13 bucks.

25:39.496 --> 25:53.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, just life goes on, but I was just surprised at that that was then and so that was this week that I realized like yeah, and they don't have the Poor person grouping Hmm, it's not one of the filters yet.

25:53.819 --> 25:56.780
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you know, like a fraud or something dumb, right?

25:57.120 --> 25:58.380
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even poor people though.

25:58.460 --> 26:02.441
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the idea of trying not to spend 13 bucks on a pet like especially for me.

26:02.481 --> 26:06.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, of course kid Well, that's an it's one thing that drives me crazy with Fortnite.

26:07.022 --> 26:07.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan plays Fortnite

26:08.942 --> 26:21.817
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the dumbest way to money because they're just buying an outfit and I understand how hypocritical it is for me to say that, but I also, I always say to him like, I have disposable money.

26:22.038 --> 26:22.999
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't decide.

26:23.579 --> 26:23.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

26:23.900 --> 26:25.021
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you want to buy a car.

26:26.328 --> 26:34.017
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, your $20 backpack that you're wearing in game might not be the best idea.

26:34.557 --> 26:35.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.

26:35.799 --> 26:36.479
[SPEAKER_00]: No, anyway.

26:37.801 --> 26:41.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because you're having GB troubles, that's where you want to drop.

26:42.686 --> 26:42.946
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

26:42.986 --> 26:43.507
[SPEAKER_01]: You're up to 99.0.

26:44.528 --> 26:46.128
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not, but I know it's working.

26:46.248 --> 26:48.729
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the way that it's pulling through and Riverside, you're seeing it.

26:48.809 --> 26:51.489
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a lot of school.

26:51.609 --> 26:53.510
[SPEAKER_00]: So how was your POE week?

26:53.630 --> 26:55.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you, we happy with it?

26:55.570 --> 26:56.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it frustrating?

26:57.710 --> 26:59.151
[SPEAKER_00]: My POE vloggers knows, man.

26:59.251 --> 27:00.131
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I have so many notes.

27:00.231 --> 27:01.991
[SPEAKER_01]: My POE week has been awesome.

27:02.231 --> 27:07.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think that this patch is, is a massive massive boost for them.

27:07.252 --> 27:10.833
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the favorite version of Path of XL2 I played, obviously so far.

27:13.264 --> 27:19.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think campaign is terrible, and I know that people might argue with me on that, and that's fine, it's too long.

27:21.127 --> 27:37.634
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really, I really consider in the idea of playing a second character, but what really sucks is how good end game is now, to have it being that good, but the process to get there is so bad that it's stopping me from wanting to do it really stinks, because

27:38.653 --> 27:40.615
[SPEAKER_01]: the end game is huge.

27:41.036 --> 27:46.342
[SPEAKER_01]: The changes they made were nuts and I spent all week trying to figure out if I liked it or hated it.

27:46.763 --> 27:51.548
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's how weird it was because I have played a lot.

27:51.788 --> 27:54.151
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think I'm 91 on my character.

27:54.171 --> 27:57.475
[SPEAKER_01]: I have played so much into the end game.

27:58.276 --> 28:01.558
[SPEAKER_01]: There's still story arcs that I haven't even followed.

28:01.578 --> 28:03.820
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't even touched them yet because I'm working on other ones.

28:03.840 --> 28:08.783
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, and that's where I'm struggling with this like, I love that there is so much for me to do.

28:09.604 --> 28:14.367
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't even feel like I've reached the part of scratching an inch of being bored.

28:15.028 --> 28:17.950
[SPEAKER_01]: But then there's also like, there's so much to do.

28:18.550 --> 28:20.151
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're kind of like doing this one thing.

28:20.172 --> 28:21.853
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're like, ah, but I could do.

28:21.873 --> 28:23.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I supposed to go over there?

28:23.974 --> 28:24.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Should I go over there?

28:25.945 --> 28:30.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Their directions are very good in the sense that it gives you freedom to just sort of do your thing.

28:31.210 --> 28:39.217
[SPEAKER_01]: But you can see that there's still some places where they're lacking, helping the player understand what's going on.

28:39.237 --> 28:40.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I just felt like,

28:43.338 --> 28:46.321
[SPEAKER_01]: it was hard to figure out what I should be doing.

28:46.401 --> 28:48.383
[SPEAKER_01]: And in the end, I just was like, well, maybe that's the idea.

28:49.184 --> 28:51.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Just do your thing, pick whichever direction you want to go.

28:52.307 --> 28:53.488
[SPEAKER_01]: But they have this weird thing.

28:53.548 --> 28:56.551
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to best first because I was really enjoying it.

28:56.591 --> 28:59.154
[SPEAKER_01]: I was loving all the crazy amount of monsters that were coming out.

29:00.485 --> 29:06.826
[SPEAKER_01]: When you work through the Abyss thing, you know how each of them has their own section in the Atlas?

29:07.466 --> 29:08.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I've even seen Atlas.

29:08.667 --> 29:09.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well you've seen that.

29:10.367 --> 29:14.368
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got to act for, and I'm thinking of rerolling.

29:15.108 --> 29:15.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

29:16.168 --> 29:25.070
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, each of the, you have your main Atlas, which is like 300 and something things, but then every sort of, what would you call it, mechanic?

29:25.810 --> 29:28.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, thing like Abyss and Ritual, whatever they all have their own trees.

29:29.594 --> 29:32.755
[SPEAKER_01]: You get points for doing the maps that are in those zones.

29:34.255 --> 29:45.258
[SPEAKER_01]: But then they lock the tree for going certain, like even though I have enough points to pick the next one, it won't let me have to pick one of the other strands.

29:46.138 --> 29:53.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Until I complete that story arc, but it doesn't tell me anywhere that that's why it's not allowing me to click that option.

29:54.180 --> 29:55.320
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lore based?

29:56.161 --> 29:57.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah.

29:59.256 --> 30:07.859
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a story base, it's a quest base, like if I go to start the Atlas for Abyss, I go to the Abyss section where it starts.

30:09.179 --> 30:15.021
[SPEAKER_01]: And as you work out, the different maps have a notification that shows you you'll get an Abyss point when you complete this map.

30:15.481 --> 30:16.642
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how you're working your way through.

30:18.127 --> 30:23.030
[SPEAKER_01]: you're told, oh, you need to go close the Northern Fisher for this abit thing.

30:23.070 --> 30:24.892
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you're working your way up to the Northern map.

30:25.592 --> 30:35.219
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can still do other maps in the area that give a bis points, but until you unlock that questline to push forward to complete the North Park, parts of the tree,

30:36.483 --> 30:38.984
[SPEAKER_01]: They just won't let you select them, but it doesn't tell you why.

30:39.044 --> 30:41.664
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was trying to figure out, like, do I need two points for this one?

30:41.684 --> 30:44.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, why is it not letting me select that particular one?

30:44.645 --> 30:52.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Until I finally realized that, oh, once I beat that fisher part, then it allowed me to pick the next set of whatever options.

30:52.767 --> 30:55.108
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't mind that they do that, but I don't understand.

30:56.590 --> 30:59.692
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why not tell the person or why just not let them do it.

31:00.193 --> 31:07.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you find it lacked originality or that you weren't able to make the Atlas pass of tree personal?

31:09.199 --> 31:15.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that was something you loved, you could make your endgame maps the way you wanted with your content and path one.

31:15.183 --> 31:18.765
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you feel like you were not able to do that with, no, I feel like the restrictions.

31:19.045 --> 31:23.668
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I feel like they have 100% hit that amazingly, like the combo of what the actual

31:26.430 --> 31:27.251
[SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't understand.

31:27.271 --> 31:44.684
[SPEAKER_01]: So one of the things in the in the abyss one that I would look that I was like, what is this idea of an abyss can overrun another map or attach maps and then the next one was any of your overrun ones would it basically allowed you to spread abyss in different areas and I was like, that's awesome.

31:46.021 --> 31:51.664
[SPEAKER_01]: I could not go there until I had actually completed the final quest arc.

31:51.824 --> 31:58.008
[SPEAKER_01]: That little true part of the tree was the last two that were available when you beat the last part.

31:58.248 --> 32:03.251
[SPEAKER_01]: But it didn't tell me any about that in-game and I was like, well, so I thought I was doing something wrong.

32:03.291 --> 32:06.273
[SPEAKER_01]: There were some reason that I couldn't unlock these things in the abyss.

32:07.268 --> 32:11.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so, but, but yeah, I had so much fun with that.

32:12.013 --> 32:15.496
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to look at all my notes here because now the one of this.

32:15.517 --> 32:16.357
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you see my notes?

32:17.078 --> 32:19.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I put them under our subjects at the very bottom.

32:19.601 --> 32:20.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want you to see the picture.

32:21.242 --> 32:22.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Our subjects.

32:22.323 --> 32:23.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't know where to put it.

32:23.284 --> 32:24.385
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just heard Justin stuff.

32:24.406 --> 32:24.886
[SPEAKER_01]: There was no 348.

32:26.265 --> 32:29.928
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't know how to make one without, I was going to put one in the, uh, your template.

32:29.948 --> 32:31.369
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, Oh, God, he's going to yell at me.

32:31.389 --> 32:31.869
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to do it.

32:31.889 --> 32:32.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't you touch it.

32:33.210 --> 32:35.152
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's a definition.

32:35.552 --> 32:37.814
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we have a card for the episode.

32:38.274 --> 32:39.795
[SPEAKER_01]: No, there wasn't a 348 one yet.

32:39.955 --> 32:41.336
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I started these notes.

32:41.376 --> 32:43.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm 48.

32:43.178 --> 32:44.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I made last week.

32:44.219 --> 32:45.179
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm 49.

32:45.239 --> 32:45.900
[SPEAKER_01]: I made today.

32:46.020 --> 32:47.841
[SPEAKER_01]: There was no 348 when I came in here.

32:48.042 --> 32:50.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, if you see the picture, that's all I want to show you.

32:51.384 --> 32:51.964
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.

32:52.204 --> 32:55.286
[SPEAKER_01]: The picture that I'm showing now is called the balance of power.

32:55.326 --> 33:04.771
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of the top nodes in the abyss tree and it says select an abyss faction to always encounter and you can choose MNAGU, CURGOL, ULAMEN, any faction.

33:05.091 --> 33:15.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Now combo this with the same things that drop because you'll get omens that drop that will say this will put on an aphics of ULAMON, CURGOL, ULAMON.

33:15.576 --> 33:15.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

33:16.116 --> 33:16.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know where you're going.

33:17.517 --> 33:18.518
[SPEAKER_01]: None of this is clickable.

33:19.453 --> 33:20.854
[SPEAKER_01]: None of this gives me any idea.

33:20.974 --> 33:29.380
[SPEAKER_01]: I can click on the word Abyss, and I can't, but I never know what Aminag, Mu, Kergle, or Ulamalia do, and I talked about it.

33:29.480 --> 33:39.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I asked in 2021, and in Discord, and people gave me great responses, which I really appreciate, but how I shouldn't need a one-thou, a commuted viewer.

33:39.407 --> 33:45.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I shouldn't have to like Google what does, and it's a big choice, like I'm now choosing all of this is or gonna be this option.

33:47.713 --> 33:54.541
[SPEAKER_01]: You would think that I would want some direction as to why the three or we know, what are my benefits or you know, what weighs one of the other?

33:55.022 --> 33:56.003
[SPEAKER_01]: They do this a lot.

33:56.123 --> 33:59.467
[SPEAKER_01]: And it sucks because it's a little from past one.

33:59.688 --> 34:02.952
[SPEAKER_00]: It was there were quite a few mechanics where they didn't explain that kind of stuff.

34:03.434 --> 34:17.767
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the Omen's, you can put a thing on, but you have to go onto the wickier Google to find out what are the prefixes that I'm guaranteeing could be, and the thing that sucks about that, not me not understanding is the abyss crafting is awesome.

34:17.787 --> 34:23.972
[SPEAKER_01]: I am having so much fun with it, I just don't understand this part of it and it sucks.

34:24.012 --> 34:28.516
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope they do something about this because I'm sure they will, I don't know which

34:31.671 --> 34:35.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Laman because I think I saw Sid say something about it.

34:35.916 --> 34:39.419
[SPEAKER_01]: So if I pick the wrong one, hopefully somebody will tell me because I don't know what they do.

34:39.900 --> 34:40.741
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no clue what they do.

34:41.582 --> 34:46.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, control or really good.

34:47.093 --> 34:48.614
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really impressed with how controller works.

34:48.654 --> 34:52.298
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to them bringing out this change where you'll have some control over targeting more.

34:52.318 --> 34:54.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm definitely struggling with that.

34:54.860 --> 34:55.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh right.

34:55.340 --> 34:56.601
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a thing that's coming up.

34:56.661 --> 34:57.302
[SPEAKER_00]: That's coming up.

34:57.342 --> 35:02.206
[SPEAKER_00]: What was the they were adding the rarity targeting, rarity auto target bringing it back.

35:03.287 --> 35:05.949
[SPEAKER_00]: So in my head I was like, I don't remember it, but what?

35:07.070 --> 35:08.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Why just the ways and right?

35:08.612 --> 35:09.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what do you?

35:10.433 --> 35:18.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's how they were saving off, but did you do in the game at that point that made it worth that was the thing that I saw was like, this is a bit too confusing.

35:18.679 --> 35:19.799
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we should take this away.

35:21.981 --> 35:22.221
[SPEAKER_01]: Help.

35:22.541 --> 35:23.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

35:24.322 --> 35:28.565
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm looking forward to that because I have I've really enjoyed playing with controller.

35:28.685 --> 35:31.927
[SPEAKER_01]: However, Hideout.

35:32.688 --> 35:35.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, first up, I'm not a big hideout person I tend to import people.

35:35.470 --> 35:37.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I thank you everybody who makes hideouts.

35:37.571 --> 35:37.951
[SPEAKER_01]: I love them.

35:40.050 --> 35:48.066
[SPEAKER_01]: On controller, your ability to edit the hideout is different than what it is on keyboard mouse.

35:49.342 --> 35:56.205
[SPEAKER_01]: So on controller, you actually get a top-down view of your hideout now.

35:56.465 --> 35:57.386
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so cool.

35:57.426 --> 36:04.829
[SPEAKER_01]: You hit the button and you go zoom up and you're now looking at a top-down move around, design, all your stuff.

36:05.389 --> 36:10.051
[SPEAKER_01]: For some reason that's not on keyboard and mouse, only on controller, but on the option for both.

36:11.212 --> 36:15.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is what I'm going to lead to that there's no import option on controller.

36:15.215 --> 36:17.197
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I'm talking playing on PC, right?

36:17.237 --> 36:21.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Because this is, I know this doesn't work on Xbox or PlayStation, but I'm playing on PC.

36:22.160 --> 36:25.122
[SPEAKER_01]: They actually remove the ability to import.

36:26.123 --> 36:27.324
[SPEAKER_01]: a hideout if I'm on controller.

36:27.344 --> 36:31.166
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had to log out, log back in on control because I want to know the difference.

36:31.246 --> 36:34.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep what I'm most sure enough, there's an import, but there's no top view.

36:34.807 --> 36:39.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And in my head, I was that my note that I just made is they really need to bring hot swapping out already.

36:40.110 --> 36:46.313
[SPEAKER_01]: The ability to just play with whatever you use and it's crazy to me that they have not implemented that.

36:46.533 --> 36:49.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Like even to the point where the new trade and

36:51.287 --> 36:54.132
[SPEAKER_01]: currency person where you can like sell and buy currency.

36:54.712 --> 37:01.343
[SPEAKER_01]: It's almost clunky when you know what it was with keyboard amounts like the trade window they basically used to have.

37:01.784 --> 37:04.067
[SPEAKER_01]: What P.O.E.T.s trade site looks like?

37:05.066 --> 37:05.967
[SPEAKER_01]: in the game.

37:06.087 --> 37:07.488
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what they had last league.

37:08.149 --> 37:12.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Now on controller, we get sort of like a dumb down version of it.

37:12.553 --> 37:19.939
[SPEAKER_01]: It does work, but you need to know all the buttons and like you cannot manipulate it as easily as you can using a keyboard mouse.

37:19.979 --> 37:22.622
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.

37:22.642 --> 37:23.643
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to be able to swap

37:31.053 --> 37:31.454
[SPEAKER_01]: Mapping?

37:31.994 --> 37:32.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me just tell you, Mapping.

37:33.256 --> 37:34.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I send this to you.

37:34.057 --> 37:39.845
[SPEAKER_01]: There are, uh, there are over 300 Atlas points.

37:39.865 --> 37:40.886
[SPEAKER_01]: 360, I think.

37:41.728 --> 37:43.450
[SPEAKER_01]: Every single time you complete a map.

37:44.443 --> 37:47.824
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to click on the thing to get my house point.

37:47.864 --> 37:51.306
[SPEAKER_01]: So the map boss dies, this little rock raises up.

37:51.886 --> 37:54.867
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have to remember to click on that to get my house point.

37:54.907 --> 37:59.449
[SPEAKER_01]: If I leave and start another map, no, I don't get you are lying.

37:59.569 --> 38:00.069
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not.

38:00.669 --> 38:01.950
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to click it every single one.

38:02.290 --> 38:03.790
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, what do you know?

38:04.010 --> 38:05.331
[SPEAKER_01]: It's missible.

38:05.911 --> 38:07.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, you could leave 100%.

38:09.364 --> 38:13.026
[SPEAKER_01]: You could even leave the zone, not even noticing that rock came up, go kill more mobs.

38:13.987 --> 38:14.907
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't get the Alice point.

38:15.188 --> 38:16.268
[SPEAKER_01]: This saw considered completed.

38:17.049 --> 38:18.270
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have no idea why.

38:18.310 --> 38:21.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it credited me when I killed the boss.

38:22.192 --> 38:25.594
[SPEAKER_01]: Why would you not just automatically trigger the Alice point?

38:25.614 --> 38:28.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I, I, I, I, it's weird, man.

38:28.396 --> 38:29.256
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why.

38:30.537 --> 38:32.438
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that they can fix that and hopefully they will.

38:33.019 --> 38:35.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand because there's that's two parts.

38:35.200 --> 38:37.582
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's one, but you know the new mechanic, the ruin mechanic?

38:38.504 --> 38:44.246
[SPEAKER_01]: when you click on the rune mechanic, you are choosing what reward you want.

38:45.087 --> 38:47.648
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you hold down to start it.

38:48.308 --> 38:52.990
[SPEAKER_01]: So then it starts, you kill the mobs, and then you have to click it again to get the reward.

38:53.010 --> 38:54.911
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, but just drop the reward.

38:54.991 --> 38:56.431
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like what are we doing?

38:56.511 --> 39:02.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go on with all the, it's the same mentality as like when you're like doing, unlocking crafting recipes in past one.

39:03.614 --> 39:04.574
[SPEAKER_01]: Why don't we have to click this?

39:04.694 --> 39:12.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like, I did, I walked through the boss gate and I've unlocked it or it's like something that happens when I beat the boss.

39:12.578 --> 39:16.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's like, Path of Exile 1, you kill the boss, you get the point.

39:16.819 --> 39:17.860
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how the map continues.

39:17.880 --> 39:18.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

39:18.660 --> 39:23.662
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how crafting unlocking crafting should have worked in the first game too, but it's weird.

39:23.682 --> 39:29.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they have this insanely hyper focus on interacting with the game.

39:33.606 --> 39:34.686
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm already here.

39:34.806 --> 39:35.707
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm right here.

39:35.867 --> 39:36.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I did the quest thing.

39:36.747 --> 39:44.289
[SPEAKER_00]: I picked up the green thing, but they're like, no, you have to go to town and then talk to this person, they're going to change this green thing into this green thing and just refer into the item, right?

39:44.689 --> 39:48.770
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you got to come back and then like go back and forth and back.

39:48.790 --> 39:51.831
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just this desperate need to interact.

39:51.891 --> 39:52.351
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get it.

39:52.751 --> 39:53.311
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't get it.

39:53.331 --> 39:55.652
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's insane to me because that is hard earned.

39:56.571 --> 40:00.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you killed, I had Atlas pass a point, that's crazy.

40:00.798 --> 40:02.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I hope they do something about that.

40:02.341 --> 40:09.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind this idea of the rock coming up, but don't, don't, don't require me to click it or at the very least make a digit once I pour it out.

40:10.998 --> 40:15.561
[SPEAKER_01]: it it clicks it for me or something so that I can't miss it and have to go do it again.

40:15.581 --> 40:21.105
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, actually at this passive point or ascendancy point should be the same.

40:22.026 --> 40:22.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Kill them off.

40:22.906 --> 40:24.327
[SPEAKER_00]: You get the ascendancy points.

40:24.527 --> 40:28.610
[SPEAKER_00]: So after we've done you just like and then sure, still have something that you can interact.

40:28.690 --> 40:38.556
[SPEAKER_00]: with so you can view your ascendancies and all that, but don't make it so that if the game crashes, I don't, I've like, I've beaten the boss, but I haven't walked the 12 miles to the next section yet.

40:38.576 --> 40:43.780
[SPEAKER_01]: The game crashing is, is fixed in PWE2, because if you even have crashes, you'll load back up into that exact spot.

40:44.080 --> 40:44.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:44.420 --> 40:45.261
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is awesome.

40:45.321 --> 40:46.962
[SPEAKER_00]: But you could lose his own.

40:47.742 --> 40:49.984
[SPEAKER_01]: and not know, it should at least warn you or something.

40:50.004 --> 40:51.885
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, that was one thing that I did not like.

40:51.925 --> 41:01.792
[SPEAKER_01]: However, you were just on the, like, this idea of the question, their end game is so fun because it's like a new storyline, each section you're going into.

41:02.032 --> 41:11.319
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I went to a bus, I'm sort of, I mean, me and I aren't lower people, but it was very fun to have a whole new area, new interactions with characters,

41:12.487 --> 41:17.132
[SPEAKER_01]: walking me through with the story line is like the I still haven't figured out expedition.

41:17.152 --> 41:18.734
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no clue what's happening in it.

41:18.854 --> 41:20.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why nobody's there.

41:20.416 --> 41:22.037
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm lost in expedition.

41:22.838 --> 41:28.384
[SPEAKER_01]: But like going toward you meet them and then you're hearing their story and then they're leading you on to the next part.

41:28.725 --> 41:30.346
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so cool because you have

41:31.047 --> 41:35.535
[SPEAKER_01]: like six of these across the whole endgame and I again, I haven't even touched all of them yet.

41:36.076 --> 41:38.360
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, it's actually really, really well done.

41:38.400 --> 41:39.242
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very fun to do.

41:39.262 --> 41:42.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think some of it is but unnecessary.

41:42.267 --> 41:43.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't make me click extra crap.

41:45.293 --> 42:04.295
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... controller vibration are you playing with controller oh yeah i mean that play to play on console uh... well you heard my comments about firestorm last year six months but all the all the way like i feel like i got off a train that wasn't really properly situated on the tracks have your experience though where it just stays on

42:05.036 --> 42:28.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if I'm going to have this, and things have come up and it's like crazy, sometimes I'll kill everything in the business dead and my controller is going and I have to go into my inventory so I can't tell you how many times I've hit hit hit hit select and beat or whatever the buttons to just bring up the inventory and then go back out and that's just to stop the vibration because and I don't want to turn it off because the vibration in general is really good in the game.

42:28.654 --> 42:31.376
[SPEAKER_01]: It's helpful but holy balls man this thing goes.

42:32.277 --> 42:41.714
[SPEAKER_01]: nuts and I can't get it to stop until I go fight another mob or open up my inventory so there is nothing like a holy set of balls but do you ever use the radial menu?

42:42.982 --> 42:46.583
[SPEAKER_00]: control like hold down the back button and then go it's a lot.

42:46.623 --> 42:47.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I do.

42:47.063 --> 43:04.987
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a really cool to get you to especially because I don't like how they've set up the menu in terms of what's like the order of the menu, the terms on control support because some of the menus that load or they take too long, like the long loading menus aren't at the end, they're kind of in the middle.

43:05.487 --> 43:06.888
[SPEAKER_00]: So I found the radial menu.

43:07.048 --> 43:10.369
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so he's all time to get to passes and skills.

43:10.950 --> 43:12.911
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, and character, even just like that.

43:12.931 --> 43:14.351
[SPEAKER_01]: Just watch down or hold down.

43:14.371 --> 43:14.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

43:15.652 --> 43:16.072
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's good.

43:16.632 --> 43:16.873
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

43:17.453 --> 43:17.773
[SPEAKER_01]: There.

43:17.793 --> 43:19.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Other.

43:23.132 --> 43:27.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't liked what they've done with bossing for a long time.

43:27.635 --> 43:30.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that bossing, I think the boss are great.

43:30.837 --> 43:31.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's very fun.

43:32.238 --> 43:49.350
[SPEAKER_01]: But in Path of Exile 2, if I run a map, they're like forcing me to never ever attempt the boss until the end, because if I die anywhere in the map, doing any system, a bis, a expedition, whatever.

43:50.583 --> 43:52.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I get told you of two remaining things.

43:52.644 --> 43:54.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless I did a full six mod map, right?

43:55.486 --> 43:56.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I have two remaining.

43:56.867 --> 43:59.509
[SPEAKER_01]: I get to come right back in, fight on, try and do it.

44:00.390 --> 44:06.914
[SPEAKER_01]: At any point though, if I decide to kill the boss, one, if I die to the boss, the maps over.

44:06.975 --> 44:08.856
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all because everything else has been removed.

44:08.976 --> 44:13.479
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I can't even clip to collect my rituals that I'd already earn points for.

44:13.819 --> 44:14.420
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just gone.

44:15.923 --> 44:20.207
[SPEAKER_01]: But also, if I kill the boss, I don't die, kill the boss.

44:20.927 --> 44:25.271
[SPEAKER_01]: And then go and do one of those abyss things and die, the whole map's gone.

44:26.072 --> 44:27.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I couldn't believe that.

44:27.713 --> 44:31.457
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd killed the boss, then happened to die in a crazy abyss or something.

44:32.358 --> 44:34.139
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, okay, I have two remaining tries.

44:34.259 --> 44:34.880
[SPEAKER_01]: Click back in.

44:36.513 --> 44:41.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just at the boss thing in the bosses that the whole rest of the map is completely empty.

44:41.340 --> 44:41.961
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so dumb.

44:42.141 --> 44:43.523
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes zero sense.

44:43.664 --> 44:47.870
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially in comparison to how the games teaching you the game works through the campaign.

44:49.263 --> 44:51.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it is it is it is dumb.

44:51.564 --> 44:51.984
[SPEAKER_00]: It is dumb.

44:52.044 --> 45:01.667
[SPEAKER_00]: They the only way that works is for people that are like putting Thought loads of time into this game and there's like some sort of system that they're trying to avoid.

45:01.687 --> 45:02.127
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

45:02.147 --> 45:03.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm kind of wondering who it is.

45:03.827 --> 45:08.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no matter what it is, you don't make the game revolve around that.

45:09.544 --> 45:10.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you may feel like it's a good song.

45:11.064 --> 45:34.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy to understand comprehend with consistency for the masses, and then you come up with something else, like even a gate that's like you have to click on it and it's like, are you sure you've done that lot because you use the consequences, that's better than just like, they're dead, and then yeah, all this like the, it's all about investing into your experience and it just, he just loses it.

45:35.312 --> 45:38.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like there's some sure let's change, but

45:38.993 --> 45:40.134
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, no, none Atlas point.

45:40.314 --> 45:40.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

45:40.574 --> 45:44.356
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't want to say who the people are because people might have not unlocked stuff as they go along.

45:44.376 --> 45:49.900
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not going to say so I've only unlocked two of the people that you can book points through like, you know, others those three people.

45:49.920 --> 45:54.663
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know right third one slightly north one slightly south and one slightly not are they.

45:55.519 --> 45:55.959
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

45:55.979 --> 45:56.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

45:56.920 --> 45:58.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, I have no idea where they are.

45:58.221 --> 45:59.221
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where they are.

45:59.281 --> 45:59.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

45:59.761 --> 45:59.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

46:00.022 --> 46:05.405
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's another thing in the reveal video, they said, like, oh, you can account with this one here.

46:05.485 --> 46:07.046
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the specific mechanic and then one.

46:07.466 --> 46:08.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's slightly north.

46:08.947 --> 46:09.147
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

46:09.187 --> 46:09.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.

46:09.687 --> 46:10.428
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the dumb thing.

46:10.488 --> 46:10.728
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

46:10.848 --> 46:13.189
[SPEAKER_01]: You should not need anything more in order to find out.

46:13.329 --> 46:13.729
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fun.

46:13.749 --> 46:15.070
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's boring, yes.

46:15.150 --> 46:17.432
[SPEAKER_01]: But you should not need anything but the game.

46:18.340 --> 46:19.161
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not for that.

46:19.181 --> 46:19.601
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't.

46:19.781 --> 46:20.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I have just found them.

46:21.002 --> 46:22.843
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know where I encountered the third one yet.

46:22.923 --> 46:24.625
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was I would did not want to look it up.

46:24.845 --> 46:26.186
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, I'll just see it.

46:26.506 --> 46:30.269
[SPEAKER_01]: So I came across the second one very, very late, like just yesterday.

46:31.329 --> 46:34.672
[SPEAKER_01]: It has one of one of the options is to give you plus one to revise.

46:35.786 --> 46:57.592
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I don't I hate that you're putting that on a on an NPC like I really liked how Path of Exile one did it here's your five six maps attempts if you die you run out by one you keep moving along Yeah, I don't like it especially fully rolled, which I want to do six tier six mod maps, but one death and that's it.

46:57.712 --> 46:59.833
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I have to go with this NPC because

47:00.793 --> 47:10.939
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a professional that never dies like I'm going to die, so yeah, it's a weird concept, but that part I just haven't, it's been a little bit annoying because now I just avoid the boss.

47:10.999 --> 47:25.208
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the the gate and then I run the way through, especially because even if I know it's an easy boss, now that I know that if I kill it, that's now set me up for the rest of the map, that if I die one time, the whole map's gone, it doesn't make any sense.

47:25.972 --> 47:33.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, forces you to do things a certain way, and it doesn't reward you in any way.

47:33.434 --> 47:40.436
[SPEAKER_00]: There's zero reward for doing it because what you're doing, you're risking to get the most out of the map, is the bare minimum.

47:40.876 --> 47:42.177
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what I've invested in.

47:42.937 --> 47:45.798
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the content I want to do.

47:47.058 --> 47:51.627
[SPEAKER_00]: The most you're getting out of the map is what you've signed up for to begin with.

47:52.168 --> 47:54.492
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no extra benefit for doing it.

47:55.013 --> 47:55.935
[SPEAKER_00]: GGG's way.

47:56.694 --> 47:58.696
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I feel like it's just something they've missed out on.

47:58.996 --> 48:00.978
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't, it doesn't make any sense.

48:01.958 --> 48:08.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but here's kind of where I start talking about, like, and do you have other notes?

48:09.705 --> 48:11.647
[SPEAKER_01]: My only other note is that it's freaking awesome.

48:12.107 --> 48:13.128
[SPEAKER_00]: I am loving the game.

48:13.328 --> 48:14.889
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really, really loving the game.

48:15.009 --> 48:18.472
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that I'm so lost in the game.

48:18.813 --> 48:23.276
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so many things for me to do that even when it feels overwhelming and I'm like, this is stupid.

48:23.336 --> 48:24.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still like, oh, that's actually kind of cool.

48:25.358 --> 48:26.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I still have all this stuff to do.

48:26.938 --> 48:28.519
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm definitely into it.

48:28.659 --> 48:47.523
[SPEAKER_01]: I just my biggest qualm of everything is that I don't think they touched a campaign well enough for me to want to run another character and that kind of stinks because I would like to, but I'm just, it's I'm enjoying what I'm doing in the end game and as much as I'd like to try another character and play it in the end game, not enough to play the campaign.

48:47.583 --> 48:48.003
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

48:48.693 --> 48:57.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's kind of like, where if we were doing the decisions, like we would have built it the opposite way that they built it, right?

48:57.738 --> 49:01.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, um, I like still paying for the first run.

49:02.921 --> 49:03.601
[SPEAKER_00]: But give a play.

49:03.761 --> 49:04.122
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't.

49:04.462 --> 49:04.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, see.

49:04.822 --> 49:05.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mind.

49:05.302 --> 49:07.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't have the lifestyle where I can do that.

49:08.184 --> 49:13.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm, I'm half, like, I can't go to the family, like, Oh, hey, hey, let me just find the next way point.

49:14.647 --> 49:19.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, because it's too long to the next way point the areas are too big, so I'm going to add a little bit.

49:19.408 --> 49:29.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Missing out 15 minutes of trying to find this next checkpoint for myself that after dinner I can come back to, which is the way point.

49:29.191 --> 49:34.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like it just doesn't fit, like the game's design now just doesn't fit my lifestyle as much.

49:35.112 --> 49:40.393
[SPEAKER_00]: But just like one of those things like the things that they focused on for beta, like all the things that I'm excited about for beta,

49:44.554 --> 49:46.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, and again, not a criticism.

49:46.896 --> 49:49.898
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that's what I would have preferred them to focus on.

49:49.918 --> 49:57.803
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I was excited about since this was officially Betaed what two years ago now, are we so just just those it.

49:57.823 --> 50:11.451
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, but that's those things that you're talking about and replayability and You know focus on the campaign a little bit more like those if those those are the things those those are these I'll get into that in a second All right, tell me what you're doing.

50:11.491 --> 50:11.792
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

50:12.012 --> 50:12.472
[SPEAKER_01]: I love your notes

50:12.572 --> 50:13.413
[SPEAKER_01]: So I love your comments.

50:13.673 --> 50:29.406
[SPEAKER_01]: I wrote some stuff down this week, so you know what and I did only write down the stuff that was bothering me We're not bothering you, but that just stood out, but for all like man I'm I'm really really into it the amount of hours I've already spent playing it and I can still see myself playing it I'm already thinking through my character

50:30.348 --> 50:33.112
[SPEAKER_01]: My only overall thing was like a set.

50:33.212 --> 50:40.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to play another character, but I actually am toyed with the idea last night to the point where I was trying to figure out what could I play as a mercenary.

50:41.384 --> 50:42.886
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I was just like, oh, but.

50:44.098 --> 50:47.240
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to play it over there, and I want to play it over here.

50:48.041 --> 50:53.084
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I hear you, I hear you, tell me what your week, tell me what your game will.

50:53.824 --> 50:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Say this at the beginning, even though it should be at the end.

50:57.387 --> 51:02.890
[SPEAKER_00]: With some of the changes, I don't know which past, which it's been a while since I've...

51:02.910 --> 51:03.951
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have even been lost.

51:04.471 --> 51:06.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Lastly, it just feels like a long time.

51:07.093 --> 51:10.735
[SPEAKER_00]: Last time I tried to theorycraft energy shield on a character.

51:13.658 --> 51:19.986
[SPEAKER_00]: There was energy shield and then there was recharge rate and then there was start and recharging.

51:21.288 --> 51:27.656
[SPEAKER_00]: And just today, I was theory crafting a little bit beforehand because I'm bored of my character.

51:28.757 --> 51:33.119
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's no more energy shield to recharge rate on the tree.

51:33.899 --> 51:40.262
[SPEAKER_00]: There was there's increased energy shield and then there's reducing the start time for your energy shield or increased.

51:40.322 --> 51:41.623
[SPEAKER_00]: No, reduce the start time.

51:41.883 --> 51:48.226
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of those clusters would be split into starting recharge time and then recharge rate.

51:48.726 --> 51:50.607
[SPEAKER_00]: But now there's no recharge rate on the tree.

51:51.107 --> 51:57.230
[SPEAKER_00]: And even on the wiki, there isn't anything that specifically states when recharge rate was removed from the tree.

51:58.028 --> 51:58.969
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, I noticed that.

51:58.989 --> 52:11.718
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's actually kind of cool because now it's a standard fix, unless maybe there's still modifiers for it on gear, but it's nice now that for, and you don't need like a crazy ES recharge start time.

52:11.898 --> 52:18.062
[SPEAKER_00]: You just, you know, like having it double like 100% or something changes it down to two seconds, and that's great, right?

52:19.443 --> 52:30.976
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's nice because now there's a little bit less to invest in on the tree when it comes to energy shield And it just makes it a little bit more feasible, right when you're not splitting yourself into so many different directions.

52:31.016 --> 52:39.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was a not neat discovery that I found today As I was going through the campaign you saw one of my frustrations that I found as I was going through the campaign was

52:41.527 --> 52:43.828
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of the great things I found was the checkpoints.

52:43.848 --> 52:50.773
[SPEAKER_00]: They added checkpoints to cool things, throw like, we've looking for sole cores and stuff like that.

52:51.513 --> 52:53.434
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like just an actual checkpoint thing.

52:54.015 --> 53:00.499
[SPEAKER_00]: Get the sole core right away, just checkpoint and you can zoom over to where you'd need to put the sole core.

53:00.919 --> 53:02.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that though, that was really cool.

53:03.320 --> 53:10.846
[SPEAKER_00]: But they still are pretty horrible with, like, massive open areas, not having a good amount of checkpoints.

53:11.046 --> 53:11.547
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

53:11.567 --> 53:15.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's going to be sometimes where I've died, and I'm like, you've got to be kidding.

53:15.430 --> 53:19.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how to wrap up gone through, and I didn't come across anything.

53:19.933 --> 53:20.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?

53:21.114 --> 53:26.058
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the map, completely contrary to how endgame works, everybody responds.

53:27.079 --> 53:31.582
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not when I want everybody to respawn when you're already pissed off because we'll fall into that now.

53:31.602 --> 53:35.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, but I'm like in the process of building my character.

53:36.306 --> 53:37.787
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not fully fleshed out.

53:38.147 --> 53:40.449
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not fully enjoying the experience.

53:40.509 --> 53:42.931
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to unlocking something.

53:42.971 --> 53:44.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not like,

53:45.673 --> 53:49.556
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need more of those, what are they, the riverhags?

53:49.937 --> 53:53.119
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need more, right?

53:53.340 --> 53:54.140
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

53:54.160 --> 54:07.432
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, like the leveling experience to me, this kind of like I guess that was what I was one of the things I was really excited for for them to focus on during the beta experience that hasn't really been focused on so far as is character progression.

54:08.713 --> 54:14.359
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'm loving my build in the sense that it's efficient, it's really, really strong.

54:14.579 --> 54:21.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, the basics of my build are I'm the warrior, smithicatava, and I'm doing strength-based minions, right?

54:21.066 --> 54:26.072
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's the, I don't know, the companion that he has, like, the martial weapon copy, I forget what it's called.

54:26.572 --> 54:30.694
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm also adding living lightning to my skills, and then I'm using shield skills.

54:31.034 --> 54:43.559
[SPEAKER_00]: So shield skills have their base value in damage, but then they also scale off of the local armor of your shield, right, or evasion, but in my case, just armor.

54:44.339 --> 54:47.822
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's all I'm doing, so it's resonating shield or shield charge.

54:47.983 --> 54:50.004
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just boom boom boom boom boom.

54:50.044 --> 54:52.347
[SPEAKER_00]: I've added a little bit of lightning damage to my skill.

54:52.507 --> 54:59.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And then my living lightning goes around and then I have my ascendancy companions smack and around too, which isn't very strong.

55:01.115 --> 55:03.697
[SPEAKER_00]: The companion is a copy of my melee weapon.

55:03.717 --> 55:07.701
[SPEAKER_00]: So I still need good damage on my melee weapon, but it's not primary.

55:07.741 --> 55:09.082
[SPEAKER_00]: It's secondary damage for me.

55:10.412 --> 55:22.801
[SPEAKER_00]: not your weapon, you mean the guy, but my weapon is what my companion copies, so better my weapon, the better the companion damage, but it's not what determines my shield skills.

55:22.961 --> 55:31.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, because of the shield skills, so good armor, which I'm obviously already hoping for, is there, but then both of those scale, well, living lightning one,

55:33.149 --> 55:41.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Just as it's generic stats and it tells you how it functions, living lightning too, actually says that it scales with strength.

55:42.162 --> 55:50.224
[SPEAKER_00]: By the time I unlocked living lightning too, I had a 174 strength that's I couldn't I couldn't tell They was doing the exact same thing to me.

55:50.324 --> 55:55.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I could not tell a difference between one of the other even though one says it scales of strength and I had almost 200.

55:55.966 --> 55:58.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So who knows, but that's the idea.

55:58.807 --> 55:59.807
[SPEAKER_00]: So my strength.

56:00.387 --> 56:02.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and then also the Marshall weapon companion.

56:03.048 --> 56:09.070
[SPEAKER_00]: That also scales my strength increases its increases the minion damage for that as well.

56:09.430 --> 56:10.870
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of cool.

56:10.890 --> 56:11.530
[SPEAKER_00]: So both of those.

56:11.610 --> 56:19.252
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm getting strength anyway to make sure that I can add my gear, but that's basically like investing into minion damage, kind of double tapping a little bit and then armor.

56:19.832 --> 56:32.114
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though my passive armor doesn't do anything on the tree, the local armor does, but I'm enjoying the passive armor because in that southeast, southwest section of the tree, there's a lot of armor couples with this, right?

56:32.194 --> 56:34.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So the smithicataba does chaos damage or

56:35.575 --> 56:43.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, armor works against chaos damage, but then there's but load of nodes that also make it work against elemental damage as well.

56:43.802 --> 56:46.364
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just tanky.

56:46.945 --> 56:47.525
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm liking it.

56:47.625 --> 56:50.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm just all over the place.

56:50.888 --> 56:52.109
[SPEAKER_01]: You've done it first through a sentence use.

56:52.549 --> 56:57.213
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with the resonant and it's easy, like I'm not dying.

56:57.674 --> 57:03.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Even with like the super super stupid crappy boss fights that are in the trials of chaos.

57:04.839 --> 57:10.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I really want GGG to know what it's like to progress a character.

57:12.022 --> 57:12.602
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

57:12.622 --> 57:13.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, let's get the one easy one.

57:13.963 --> 57:14.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do this.

57:14.843 --> 57:19.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Even, like, I should want, it should still be kind of fun.

57:21.072 --> 57:21.673
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

57:21.693 --> 57:31.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it is so there's so much stupid in some of these boss fights It is crazy and like I so I beat the boss at the end.

57:31.678 --> 57:44.566
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I have no idea how I would do that without actively blocking Like with any other character I don't know like I did not learn how this boss fight worked It was just stupid after stupid after stupid and I'm like I don't know what's going on.

57:44.626 --> 57:46.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope these are blockable hits

57:46.867 --> 57:52.712
[SPEAKER_00]: But the game hasn't showed me what's a blockable hit and what's not, which is kind of part of the problem I'm running into with my character.

57:52.752 --> 57:56.516
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm constantly blocking with these skills, right?

57:56.576 --> 58:02.201
[SPEAKER_00]: Another playing with shield wall and then but shield charge and then resonate shield of the primary two and resonate shields really cool.

58:02.581 --> 58:03.522
[SPEAKER_00]: It hits faster.

58:03.542 --> 58:05.024
[SPEAKER_00]: It has more base damage.

58:05.304 --> 58:05.984
[SPEAKER_00]: It does a good job.

58:06.865 --> 58:15.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, but my heavy stun builds up and that's not in a convenient location for me when I'm in the middle of a fight and I'm trying to see what's dangerous.

58:15.338 --> 58:18.923
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't tell when heavy stun is increasing or not.

58:19.023 --> 58:19.945
[SPEAKER_00]: It's there on the HUD.

58:19.985 --> 58:21.206
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not an under good place.

58:22.297 --> 58:26.419
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wish it was above my character with my health energy shield and mana.

58:26.559 --> 58:32.022
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish my heavy stun bar was also there, because then I'd be able to tell it maybe then I wouldn't have any complaints.

58:32.862 --> 58:43.367
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, so I do run into some vulnerable situations when I don't realize my heavy stun bar is now, I've been heavy stunned and I'm lying down and I'm like, oh shoot, b-b-b-b-b-b-b until I'm back up.

58:51.346 --> 59:19.626
[SPEAKER_00]: it does not let your heavy buns heavy stun bar fill up at all maybe that's because it's a travel skill I don't know but like it's frustrating to use because you can miss an enemy that's right in front of you all the way to the other end of the screen yeah but at the same time it but you're not dead no you're not getting heavy stunned and you are stunning way more turn than my other shield skills so it it's really really good in that way but

59:20.607 --> 59:26.719
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing in the game as far as I can tell where you can tell what a blockable hit is or not.

59:27.200 --> 59:30.266
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll go through some boss fights and I don't have to move.

59:31.192 --> 59:56.137
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be there for a long time because it's it's not just a red ones isn't it just when the boss goes red Tell and some of these things like when I was doing the trials of chaos I blocked almost everything except for the dots like I was like okay, but I couldn't tell the difference between It had tornadoes Oh my god red wind and beige wind you ran away from the tornado was dark phase when it goes and it was not dark

59:57.357 --> 01:00:00.438
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's the only thing I didn't block was the tornadoes.

01:00:00.498 --> 01:00:06.279
[SPEAKER_00]: I just ran around and I'm told the tornado stopped and then chicken rooster comes back or whatever it is.

01:00:06.299 --> 01:00:10.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know and eventually I was there.

01:00:11.020 --> 01:00:13.680
[SPEAKER_00]: But I blocked everything and I didn't bother blocking the tornadoes.

01:00:13.720 --> 01:00:20.082
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I go and I'm like, so I'm an act for whatever and I do the first dial and it's the one where you're fighting the octopus captain guy, right?

01:00:20.122 --> 01:00:20.722
[SPEAKER_00]: What's his face?

01:00:21.422 --> 01:00:21.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

01:00:22.402 --> 01:00:22.822
[SPEAKER_00]: He ends up

01:00:27.503 --> 01:00:49.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Tujin's girlfriend who's super secret sauce Tolerium guy and uh, you don't you love the descriptions of people trying to explain things when they just hold why all the time By the way, you don't eat lie love the whole why I do through I mean if you could make it like for the entire conversation Not just paragraphs, you know, I'm still not a fan of like holding why for like why do I have to do and then they keep talking?

01:00:49.495 --> 01:00:54.878
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to hold why again like just make it until like the end, but you know, I love that they've actually added it

01:00:55.178 --> 01:00:55.638
[SPEAKER_01]: I do too.

01:00:55.938 --> 01:00:58.439
[SPEAKER_01]: I've not used it at all in endgame in endgame.

01:00:58.519 --> 01:01:16.466
[SPEAKER_01]: I've really enjoyed reading It's so weird like I'm enjoying what the story is part of me was actually going like are they doing this to like Maybe they're gonna get rid of the campaign and you just map and that's the game and here's the storyline You just start here because I've enjoyed this like these already some dreams stories anyway.

01:01:16.626 --> 01:01:16.826
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

01:01:17.306 --> 01:01:19.227
[SPEAKER_00]: I do love the why go so

01:01:20.619 --> 01:01:31.015
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how I describe things because I'm intentionally not learning the lore and then of course it comes a point where it's kind of a boring So anyway, so I'm doing like this like the captain of the broken down ship.

01:01:31.035 --> 01:01:33.839
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like half up to cook that octopus or whatever he's supposed to be.

01:01:33.919 --> 01:01:35.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, he has like

01:01:36.002 --> 01:01:37.543
[SPEAKER_00]: All of his skills aren't blockable.

01:01:37.703 --> 01:01:38.804
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a cannon hit.

01:01:38.944 --> 01:01:45.869
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got like a poke check, you know, and he's got his Anvil drop and will drop.

01:01:46.069 --> 01:01:51.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, anvil drop like kind of get because that one from the guy and act one also couldn't block that one, but still it's like

01:01:52.513 --> 01:01:56.114
[SPEAKER_00]: All of a sudden everything's not blockable and I'm like fun really defeats the purpose.

01:01:56.134 --> 01:02:10.240
[SPEAKER_00]: All I'm doing is dodge rolling when I'm trying to look Blocking that shield right so I don't know how much more of that there's going to be in the game Obviously there's gonna be pros and cons not every boss is gonna be situated to every single mechanic That's why there's gonna be pros and cons where every build but it's

01:02:11.200 --> 01:02:16.424
[SPEAKER_00]: It's turned out to be very boring, like I love the defensive play style and I'm fine with lower amounts of damage.

01:02:16.564 --> 01:02:20.907
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through everything, but it is boring.

01:02:22.068 --> 01:02:23.710
[SPEAKER_00]: And my, so my idea is working.

01:02:24.610 --> 01:02:36.219
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just boring because like I'll be going through some situations and I'm walking past enemies because I'm like, well, all these enemies are like running away shooting, running away shooting, running away shooting and I'm like, well, I'm melee.

01:02:36.319 --> 01:02:37.060
[SPEAKER_00]: So, goodbye.

01:02:37.080 --> 01:02:38.721
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll let you know the rare.

01:02:38.761 --> 01:02:38.921
[SPEAKER_00]: That's

01:02:40.482 --> 01:02:41.423
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's always been like that.

01:02:42.183 --> 01:02:43.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it sucks.

01:02:44.885 --> 01:02:45.406
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

01:02:45.426 --> 01:02:46.006
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that.

01:02:46.086 --> 01:02:53.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm running I'm moving past a lot of mods big mobs because it's they're not an Engaging combat experience.

01:02:53.211 --> 01:02:57.874
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm finding that I'm only stopping for large groups because it's worth my time.

01:02:58.935 --> 01:02:59.536
[SPEAKER_00]: or rare's.

01:02:59.656 --> 01:03:00.778
[SPEAKER_00]: I've always stopped for rare's.

01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:06.104
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like how you just described it though is how a lot of people just play.

01:03:06.545 --> 01:03:11.932
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just going through until they find a big group or a rare and that's it and you're just rushing past everything else.

01:03:12.373 --> 01:03:15.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and that means how I played Path 1 2.

01:03:15.116 --> 01:03:26.551
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that this is supposed to be a lot more of an engaging game, but I'm moving slower, and I'm interacting slower, and I'm attacking slower, and so the whole experience, even though it's similar, is much slower.

01:03:27.552 --> 01:03:29.835
[SPEAKER_00]: So point is though, but like that's again.

01:03:30.876 --> 01:03:45.983
[SPEAKER_00]: if the game if they they did like the end game and then down focus for beta whereas my all everything that I was excited for was like character and then to end game you know what I mean like I was just wanted one of the skills where do the ascendancies

01:03:46.703 --> 01:03:47.643
[SPEAKER_00]: How is this going to work?

01:03:47.683 --> 01:03:52.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool, the tree changed again, but there's just not a lot of skills for me to pick from.

01:03:53.226 --> 01:03:53.766
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

01:03:54.246 --> 01:03:57.087
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm like, okay, well, what other resendancies could I use?

01:03:57.147 --> 01:03:57.767
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh, right.

01:03:58.028 --> 01:04:02.709
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost the same since the game was released, kind of thing.

01:04:03.570 --> 01:04:08.952
[SPEAKER_00]: And so there's just like, when I'm not, so I've already gone through all the the theory crafting of my mind.

01:04:08.992 --> 01:04:10.793
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everything that interests me and doesn't

01:04:11.673 --> 01:04:15.179
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just those options haven't changed in a long time.

01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:16.220
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

01:04:16.240 --> 01:04:20.807
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd finally find like this method of idea that works and I'm like, Okay, well, this is kind of boring.

01:04:20.987 --> 01:04:22.790
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm glad it's working, but it's just not.

01:04:23.071 --> 01:04:25.915
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully you'd find something to make it more entertaining for you.

01:04:27.183 --> 01:04:28.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I could you build something into it to do that?

01:04:29.744 --> 01:04:35.846
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I, I, I, I, I could, but what would make it more entertaining for like what's the boring nothing?

01:04:36.346 --> 01:04:36.526
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

01:04:36.766 --> 01:04:41.567
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, I don't know, it's because there's nothing in the game that's engaging the build.

01:04:42.428 --> 01:04:44.828
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't tell what's blockable and what's not.

01:04:45.929 --> 01:04:49.770
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't see my bar right, my heavy stun bar.

01:04:51.050 --> 01:04:58.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's really not something that like I'm having to do things that aren't really engaging in the game to keep it there.

01:04:58.553 --> 01:05:15.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, if I had the heavy stun bar right in the middle where my health bar and my mana bar are, it would be a lot more engaging because it's there But I keep wanting to use shield charge instead because that's something I don't have to worry about because looking away on a regular basis takes me away from the experience that I'm trying to do, right?

01:05:16.121 --> 01:05:18.584
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't know, but you know, I could just be in interest level two.

01:05:18.664 --> 01:05:20.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It could just be like, oh, that was really cool.

01:05:20.846 --> 01:05:22.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, some people don't like playing minions.

01:05:22.208 --> 01:05:23.129
[SPEAKER_00]: They find minions boring.

01:05:23.209 --> 01:05:24.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not necessarily a criticism to it.

01:05:24.971 --> 01:05:31.918
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just because they haven't had other additions or much of it that there's just not much else for me to go to.

01:05:32.498 --> 01:05:33.740
[SPEAKER_00]: So guess what?

01:05:34.380 --> 01:05:36.643
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been really thinking about zombies, Justin.

01:05:37.102 --> 01:05:42.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but again, that's part of like I really wish I'd more to consider that interested me, right?

01:05:43.027 --> 01:05:50.613
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's been kind of fun but kind of not because I would love to go see I, but nothing really matches what I want to do.

01:05:50.873 --> 01:05:51.574
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what you want to do?

01:05:51.594 --> 01:05:58.739
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go minions and see I, the lich doesn't make a whole bunch of sense because they have that one node where

01:06:00.021 --> 01:06:03.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Damage bypasses energy shield until you get to the next one.

01:06:03.584 --> 01:06:06.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right, and then that next one's there, but then why would I go CI?

01:06:06.488 --> 01:06:08.850
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we'll just keep life except now chaos.

01:06:08.890 --> 01:06:11.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Damage still does double damage against my energy shield.

01:06:11.873 --> 01:06:16.398
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, but there's just because of that, there's that conflict, okay, so then why else would I take that?

01:06:16.618 --> 01:06:18.661
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I don't like the other two witch nodes.

01:06:20.062 --> 01:06:20.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

01:06:21.163 --> 01:06:33.076
[SPEAKER_00]: The blood one doesn't make a lot of sense because some minion skills can really cost a lot of man, and so the blood made one doesn't really make a lot of sense there, but then even the infernalist does not have a lot for minion skills.

01:06:41.244 --> 01:06:50.567
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but the first one makes you require that you have some chaos resist 20% of physical damage counts as chaos damage Not a chance, man.

01:06:50.607 --> 01:06:53.168
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what I am starving for while I'm leveling.

01:06:53.748 --> 01:06:55.088
[SPEAKER_00]: So what's the one that follows that?

01:06:56.028 --> 01:07:00.430
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you start preserving 25% of your life after that and there's three of them.

01:07:01.470 --> 01:07:12.173
[SPEAKER_00]: And then if I go to the sorceress, Stormweaver could, but not for a minion player, have stuff that would incorporate minions and CI, not really though.

01:07:12.693 --> 01:07:22.196
[SPEAKER_00]: And then same with the other ones, Varsha does Varsha, that has that one path where it's actually really good for ES and CI, but that's it.

01:07:23.076 --> 01:07:35.514
[SPEAKER_00]: If the ones are like, well, then I could pick one of the other, um, I guess the jins, but then that's I've already got my build like I'm not revolving around the jins, so they would just be bonus and they're all interactive.

01:07:35.814 --> 01:07:37.336
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not really things that I'd be.

01:07:38.518 --> 01:07:39.759
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know much about them.

01:07:39.779 --> 01:07:49.643
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing in the game that I want to know more about these skills, but it's kind of too bad they don't have an area where you can go in the game, kind of like the skill screen.

01:07:50.284 --> 01:07:53.385
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not an area where you can just go to view skills.

01:07:54.485 --> 01:07:57.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Well you can, but you actually have to have a skill gem.

01:07:58.387 --> 01:07:59.608
[SPEAKER_00]: to see what skills there are.

01:07:59.929 --> 01:08:04.813
[SPEAKER_00]: You actually have to have a support gem to view what supports are available in the game.

01:08:04.873 --> 01:08:07.596
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not just a menu where you can go to view the supports.

01:08:07.936 --> 01:08:08.076
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

01:08:08.757 --> 01:08:16.385
[SPEAKER_00]: In that same way, there's nothing in the game that lets me know anything about any class, any classes ascendancy.

01:08:16.665 --> 01:08:18.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you have to play it and then ascend.

01:08:19.948 --> 01:08:22.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, and then I can look at the skills.

01:08:22.330 --> 01:08:22.511
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

01:08:23.011 --> 01:08:35.575
[SPEAKER_00]: there's nothing and the wiki, not a criticism to the wiki, I think it's the game's responsibility, but the game, even the wiki does a poor job at letting you know the passing for how ascendancies work.

01:08:36.015 --> 01:08:36.615
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

01:08:36.935 --> 01:08:41.777
[SPEAKER_00]: When you know the ascendancy name, like of that a specific keystone, sure, go look it up, you've got it.

01:08:41.937 --> 01:08:42.057
[SPEAKER_00]: But

01:08:42.737 --> 01:08:46.761
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's really disappointing to me that I can't just hmm.

01:08:47.021 --> 01:08:48.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, maybe I should start as a witch.

01:08:48.282 --> 01:09:00.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe as a sorceress Let's see what these ascendant skills do which ones are passive Which I think they were gonna do that on the character select screen for some reason I thought that was going to be a thing where you could see

01:09:01.210 --> 01:09:01.830
[SPEAKER_01]: the detail of that.

01:09:01.851 --> 01:09:02.391
[SPEAKER_01]: But yes, I do.

01:09:02.631 --> 01:09:05.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Like for me, I want to play it into the mercenary or I want to play a mercenary because I've never played it.

01:09:06.074 --> 01:09:12.519
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's weird because my only way to plan it out is just to go figure something out and then ascend it.

01:09:12.539 --> 01:09:15.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't even know what the ascendants I don't know what the ascendancies do for the mercenary.

01:09:15.921 --> 01:09:16.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I've just never played it.

01:09:17.542 --> 01:09:18.163
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

01:09:18.463 --> 01:09:22.866
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not and I'm not looking for the generic example for what it is.

01:09:23.067 --> 01:09:24.428
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking for specific notes.

01:09:24.968 --> 01:09:25.929
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let me see it so far.

01:09:26.409 --> 01:09:26.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

01:09:27.490 --> 01:09:34.194
[SPEAKER_00]: And so so far, there aren't many ascendancies that interest me beyond one or two notes.

01:09:35.175 --> 01:09:42.139
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of the times, the ones that actually do interest me just really don't suit what I want to do.

01:09:42.199 --> 01:09:50.265
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just, for example, the Shaman, they have plus 40 spirit per

01:09:52.326 --> 01:09:52.746
[SPEAKER_00]: love that.

01:09:53.306 --> 01:09:55.808
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they have an adaptation part of the tree.

01:09:56.768 --> 01:09:59.929
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, there's another two notes that also interest me to an extent.

01:10:01.150 --> 01:10:07.753
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the only one outside of the smithicatavo where there's three plus major notes that interest me, right?

01:10:08.653 --> 01:10:17.817
[SPEAKER_00]: But one thing that I was thinking about for getting back into zombies and skeletons and minion instability and stuff like that was actually

01:10:20.929 --> 01:10:44.312
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... you know that one node where it's uh... you have to use normal body armor uh-huh for some reason i always pictured it had to be like big bf body armor but i couldn't i use just use energy but i couldn't i just use an yes armor for it right sure i mean the benefit is i'm getting armor as a return so i'm not getting that huge boost of energy shield from it

01:10:44.952 --> 01:10:51.055
[SPEAKER_00]: But, I mean, that has a benefit to me anyway, having that tiny bit of armor would help with damage mitigation.

01:10:51.535 --> 01:11:00.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd get all those sweet returns anyway, and then everything that I'm getting in the meantime is just going to be... Like, I pick, like, I'm not forced to pick strength at that point.

01:11:00.859 --> 01:11:02.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I could be picking intelligence the whole way around.

01:11:03.573 --> 01:11:07.016
[SPEAKER_01]: What else would you be using on the Smith-The-Cutov, though, besides the armor stuff?

01:11:07.196 --> 01:11:07.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Just that?

01:11:09.198 --> 01:11:14.122
[SPEAKER_00]: There's, I mean, that all, there's eight nodes there that would excite me.

01:11:14.302 --> 01:11:16.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, six definitely excite seven and eight.

01:11:17.885 --> 01:11:19.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Not so much pencil vain, yeah.

01:11:20.166 --> 01:11:22.368
[SPEAKER_00]: It was called me from pencil vain, yeah.

01:11:22.508 --> 01:11:22.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:11:22.889 --> 01:11:24.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was thinking about that.

01:11:24.310 --> 01:11:26.512
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, okay, okay.

01:11:26.572 --> 01:11:31.516
[SPEAKER_01]: And then because I didn't, so I, it was just weird that you liked that one.

01:11:31.696 --> 01:11:32.717
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's really cool.

01:11:34.191 --> 01:11:42.074
[SPEAKER_01]: a lot of the, that's weird because quite often what you could do with Smithicotov as armor, you could just get.

01:11:42.915 --> 01:11:47.037
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's why, but I disagree with some of them.

01:11:47.897 --> 01:11:52.179
[SPEAKER_00]: So for example, the armor counting towards chaos damage,

01:11:55.301 --> 01:12:05.591
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, but you've been just talking about it like from a resistance or from a life like what would you be getting out of it that makes the ascendancy so much better immune to crits?

01:12:06.833 --> 01:12:08.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the second one that you would get?

01:12:10.396 --> 01:12:11.978
[SPEAKER_00]: What else do they have that I like?

01:12:12.318 --> 01:12:16.222
[SPEAKER_00]: So there was 100% of armor applies to chaos damage.

01:12:17.142 --> 01:12:25.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Armor grants hits against you, have 100% Oh, body armor grants hits against you, have 100% reduced critical damage bonus.

01:12:25.970 --> 01:12:27.912
[SPEAKER_00]: You could get 30% increased spirit.

01:12:28.432 --> 01:12:29.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care about the life region.

01:12:32.136 --> 01:12:36.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Body armor grants 25% of physical damage from hits taken as fire damage.

01:12:36.499 --> 01:12:41.924
[SPEAKER_00]: That just in general is nice because of the flat mitigation that resists give.

01:12:43.841 --> 01:12:47.648
[SPEAKER_00]: Body armor grants 50% of armor are also a place to elemental damage.

01:12:49.490 --> 01:12:52.413
[SPEAKER_00]: unaffected by damaging ailments, I love that one.

01:12:52.793 --> 01:12:53.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely love that one.

01:12:54.494 --> 01:13:06.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know what I mean, you wouldn't need that if you're going to see eye for the most part, but love an increased strength, increased max life, fire resist, Thorne Damage and Glory to Regents.

01:13:06.284 --> 01:13:08.726
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's four that I love four that I love.

01:13:09.307 --> 01:13:10.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I have meant see eye though.

01:13:10.968 --> 01:13:12.570
[SPEAKER_01]: If you tried to do see eye with that,

01:13:15.612 --> 01:13:18.874
[SPEAKER_01]: And you need to pump, yes, so freaking out for sure for sure.

01:13:18.894 --> 01:13:23.437
[SPEAKER_00]: So probably wouldn't work with CI, but it did kind of make my brain work like right.

01:13:23.457 --> 01:13:24.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to just do strength based.

01:13:25.298 --> 01:13:29.061
[SPEAKER_00]: I just keep kept thinking strength because sometimes it's said body armor.

01:13:29.081 --> 01:13:32.523
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes it just specifically said your armor rating and I'm like, oh, okay.

01:13:32.943 --> 01:13:36.326
[SPEAKER_00]: So for some reason, I always just kept thinking strength, but it is an option.

01:13:36.906 --> 01:13:58.808
[SPEAKER_00]: It is an option, and then you could also go into things like forged and flame where that's dealing specifically with fire damage and fire resistance or sorry, just fire resistance and max fire, but anyway, it's just an idea, but I was thinking of getting back into it and then that's when I discovered that energy shield recharge rate has been removed from the tree.

01:14:00.351 --> 01:14:00.972
[SPEAKER_00]: So there was that.

01:14:03.057 --> 01:14:06.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, with the Smith though, at least you could if you wanted to just respect it too.

01:14:08.168 --> 01:14:09.491
[SPEAKER_01]: Without an rule in your character.

01:14:10.163 --> 01:14:15.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I just need to know how much gold that will cost, but I'm definitely would be up for it.

01:14:16.349 --> 01:14:19.451
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then so then I'm thinking, okay, minion instability.

01:14:19.852 --> 01:14:23.135
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I want to get back into using sacrifice or not?

01:14:23.215 --> 01:14:24.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I care about zombies?

01:14:24.576 --> 01:14:27.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was doing some testing on one of my with my son before school today?

01:14:28.860 --> 01:14:32.203
[SPEAKER_00]: He likes to wake up early and then he's just like two days, which is great for you game.

01:14:32.363 --> 01:14:34.445
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's that that age where everything's about favorites.

01:14:34.465 --> 01:14:34.885
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well,

01:14:35.886 --> 01:14:36.887
[SPEAKER_00]: still pay off the bexel.

01:14:37.847 --> 01:14:40.489
[SPEAKER_00]: But so we talk about it and he's really into it.

01:14:40.649 --> 01:14:43.351
[SPEAKER_00]: It's his current flavor of the of the week as well.

01:14:43.711 --> 01:14:47.213
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I loaded up a standard character just to see.

01:14:47.233 --> 01:14:50.275
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, and then I took a tier 11.

01:14:50.335 --> 01:14:52.696
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I haven't even gotten to Red Maps yet.

01:14:52.716 --> 01:14:58.179
[SPEAKER_00]: So I took a T11 map from the guild stash and standard and tried it out on just a couple different builds.

01:14:58.219 --> 01:15:01.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Did the boss, then did another one, did the boss, and trying a few different ways.

01:15:02.702 --> 01:15:08.104
[SPEAKER_00]: It was fun to get back into it and see how fast the recharge rate was with and without sacrifice.

01:15:08.144 --> 01:15:18.589
[SPEAKER_00]: See the value of empowered zombies versus just minion instability and it just got me going against and I'm thinking about power charges and revive rate.

01:15:18.629 --> 01:15:19.349
[SPEAKER_00]: They took out.

01:15:21.550 --> 01:15:24.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it 10, 15% percent revived rate?

01:15:24.811 --> 01:15:27.552
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a cluster they completely removed for this

01:15:29.304 --> 01:15:35.750
[SPEAKER_00]: They were just just thinking, but I might, uh, might respect, might not, but it's tough because I'm already in Act 4.

01:15:37.191 --> 01:15:40.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess not already, but like my character's progressing fine.

01:15:40.253 --> 01:15:41.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in Act 4, but I'm bored.

01:15:42.435 --> 01:15:42.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.

01:15:43.356 --> 01:15:45.258
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know the character's good.

01:15:46.851 --> 01:15:47.552
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm bored.

01:15:47.912 --> 01:15:51.635
[SPEAKER_01]: It does get very fun at end game, because it's a chooser adventure.

01:15:51.975 --> 01:15:55.457
[SPEAKER_01]: You're picking where you want to go, and you're seeing the reward of doing it.

01:15:56.178 --> 01:15:58.480
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, in the end, you got to like the build though, too.

01:15:58.940 --> 01:15:59.160
[SPEAKER_00]: True.

01:15:59.340 --> 01:16:02.663
[SPEAKER_00]: And the boring thing could just be that I've chosen defense over offense.

01:16:03.023 --> 01:16:03.223
[SPEAKER_00]: And...

01:16:04.584 --> 01:16:15.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Though that is what I'm used to with path 1 because I like the hardcore mentality out the hardcore, actual gameplay, but the actual hardcore mentality of not cutting corners with glass cannon stuff.

01:16:15.510 --> 01:16:19.131
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe maybe just my builds too slow.

01:16:19.652 --> 01:16:24.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I just need more damage in my build to enjoy the progress more.

01:16:25.415 --> 01:16:29.437
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe it's just the amount of time it's taking me to get things done that's boring.

01:16:30.318 --> 01:16:32.179
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, like, I love the idea.

01:16:32.219 --> 01:16:32.759
[SPEAKER_00]: It's solid.

01:16:32.819 --> 01:16:36.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have no problem playing it over and over again if it maintained my interest.

01:16:36.540 --> 01:16:37.821
[SPEAKER_00]: So it could just be a me thing.

01:16:38.321 --> 01:16:46.344
[SPEAKER_00]: So part of me, I'm probably just going to restart because then I could swap back to the shield character if I wanted to.

01:16:47.144 --> 01:16:47.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:16:48.485 --> 01:16:53.869
[SPEAKER_01]: If you need the tier 5, like support, I have so, so, so many.

01:16:54.229 --> 01:16:55.751
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're welcome to as many as you want.

01:16:55.771 --> 01:16:57.152
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so, so, so.

01:16:57.172 --> 01:16:58.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's only the only thing I pick up.

01:16:59.373 --> 01:17:01.815
[SPEAKER_01]: So, there's a lot of tier 5 supports.

01:17:02.776 --> 01:17:05.658
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know what I'm going to do for another character.

01:17:05.818 --> 01:17:06.279
[SPEAKER_01]: If I will.

01:17:06.999 --> 01:17:07.940
[SPEAKER_01]: I really want to.

01:17:09.541 --> 01:17:10.682
[SPEAKER_01]: I really want to go see I.

01:17:11.665 --> 01:17:12.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really do.

01:17:12.787 --> 01:17:14.189
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what then you can't do this math.

01:17:14.249 --> 01:17:15.130
[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta do something else, right?

01:17:15.871 --> 01:17:18.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I don't know what to do if I do that.

01:17:18.876 --> 01:17:19.697
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

01:17:20.258 --> 01:17:22.361
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't know what I do if I didn't do see.

01:17:22.401 --> 01:17:26.668
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I feel like that is to go which and then figure it out when you ascend.

01:17:27.489 --> 01:17:34.473
[SPEAKER_01]: because I don't, I actually like the witches' essences, but I don't think they're overly offensive characters.

01:17:34.513 --> 01:17:36.375
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're at least when I played them.

01:17:36.815 --> 01:17:40.017
[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest benefits of their essences were the defensive side.

01:17:40.037 --> 01:17:46.581
[SPEAKER_01]: Granted, there actually are a lot of offensive parts to the lich, but for me it was the defensive side that I really liked.

01:17:47.121 --> 01:17:48.042
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the man is nice.

01:17:48.522 --> 01:17:53.605
[SPEAKER_00]: The man is nice on the lich, but that's just the one node, but you can't do that without the second node.

01:17:54.486 --> 01:18:01.691
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's thinking CI specifically, but then with the other side of the lich that I really like, that's the infinite cursteration.

01:18:02.191 --> 01:18:02.732
[SPEAKER_00]: That's hot.

01:18:02.932 --> 01:18:05.153
[SPEAKER_00]: That is just the best for me.

01:18:05.394 --> 01:18:08.295
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the other side of a two-noder.

01:18:08.416 --> 01:18:14.300
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's either I'm doing infinite or I'm doing CI, because there's no way I'm ascending four times.

01:18:15.200 --> 01:18:37.265
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate hate sad just tell you because I just I know my character could do the tier four of the season whatever level four of the Sechema and but I just refuse to so I paid two vines go into the whatever trading 20 and I literally just stay in seconds.

01:18:37.385 --> 01:18:43.027
[SPEAKER_01]: So when all you do it you literally just go to their hideout try teleport into the Sechema with them

01:18:44.065 --> 01:18:46.786
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they just tell you, wait here until I tell you to go in.

01:18:47.026 --> 01:18:50.126
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they tell you to go in when the boss is dead and you walk in and you go get here.

01:18:50.726 --> 01:18:54.227
[SPEAKER_01]: You can actually do it for all your life.

01:18:54.267 --> 01:18:57.008
[SPEAKER_01]: If you complete the fourth one, it gives you all of your missing points.

01:18:57.768 --> 01:19:01.288
[SPEAKER_01]: So you technically could do it as soon as you can go to it.

01:19:01.328 --> 01:19:03.909
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if there's a limit to that level, but I just don't like it.

01:19:04.049 --> 01:19:07.010
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I can do the four levels of it, but it's not fun.

01:19:07.130 --> 01:19:08.490
[SPEAKER_01]: And if one thing messes up,

01:19:09.130 --> 01:19:10.111
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to start over again.

01:19:10.131 --> 01:19:11.832
[SPEAKER_01]: I got text messages from Ethan this week.

01:19:11.852 --> 01:19:17.656
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I hate the sack of my life, but the trials of chaos is even worse.

01:19:17.716 --> 01:19:25.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Just because all it takes is one, like, okay, so you've finished however many trials, like you're on trial number nine or ten.

01:19:25.802 --> 01:19:31.145
[SPEAKER_00]: And then all of a sudden it's like, the three options are all so dumb for your build.

01:19:31.166 --> 01:19:33.087
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, I did all that for this.

01:19:33.787 --> 01:19:34.488
[SPEAKER_00]: Like now I can't.

01:19:34.808 --> 01:19:39.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Like now I know I'm going to lose and you're going to start over a room or two and you're half an hour in.

01:19:40.090 --> 01:19:50.674
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw I've seen messing with people that talk about how much they really do like the second or trials and that is fair but it's just that it's not an optional part of the game right now and that's what stinks.

01:19:51.214 --> 01:19:52.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Abyss is optional.

01:19:52.715 --> 01:19:54.136
[SPEAKER_01]: You can choose to go into the

01:20:00.598 --> 01:20:18.852
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then so anyway, I'd love to be the witch because then I get that 100% increased minion damage right from the starting point of the tree, but It's amazing how little minion damage there is on the tree now in point five if you're not a witch It's still quite a bit though if you can still

01:20:20.124 --> 01:20:29.969
[SPEAKER_00]: I've played them and it works, yes, but now think about doing though a minion that isn't one of your ascension minions, right?

01:20:29.989 --> 01:20:30.849
[SPEAKER_00]: So not one of your jins.

01:20:32.310 --> 01:20:35.011
[SPEAKER_00]: How little damage there is on the tree for minions.

01:20:35.071 --> 01:20:38.753
[SPEAKER_00]: And remember that's not like it's coupling with something else that's helping you.

01:20:39.153 --> 01:20:41.654
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that is your offense.

01:20:42.975 --> 01:20:45.256
[SPEAKER_00]: In the past did, in the past did, but things have

01:20:45.916 --> 01:20:49.739
[SPEAKER_00]: like scaling has changed, how they level has changed.

01:20:49.799 --> 01:20:52.382
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's why which is your best option.

01:20:52.402 --> 01:20:55.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's start with an image figure at your ascension later.

01:20:55.464 --> 01:20:57.086
[SPEAKER_00]: The blood age, that's not going to work.

01:20:57.866 --> 01:20:59.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the blood major.

01:20:59.988 --> 01:21:00.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

01:21:00.909 --> 01:21:04.332
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing that benefits my allies in the blood major.

01:21:04.352 --> 01:21:04.732
[SPEAKER_00]: So all.

01:21:06.214 --> 01:21:09.316
[SPEAKER_00]: me spell damage, crit chance and damage.

01:21:09.917 --> 01:21:12.099
[SPEAKER_00]: There's one for life last, but it's not worth picking.

01:21:12.700 --> 01:21:15.042
[SPEAKER_00]: There are no one for curses, but curses.

01:21:15.062 --> 01:21:18.325
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not spending 500 life on a curse.

01:21:18.925 --> 01:21:20.287
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, in the blood management, yeah.

01:21:20.447 --> 01:21:26.813
[SPEAKER_01]: There are tons of new supports and skills, though that I've seen that relate to allies within your presence.

01:21:27.553 --> 01:21:28.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Like crazy amounts.

01:21:28.954 --> 01:21:52.742
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's one of the things that bugs me about the new rune thing is that it goes to the point we talked about earlier Where when I go to the abyss, I don't know ulamon kaga go blah blah blah whatever the options are When you're doing the runes, it'll tell you like unlocked the amount of reading that you have to do in this patch is nuts because you click on it and maybe it's got like seven Rune options that you can pick from and you're like

01:21:53.852 --> 01:21:59.294
[SPEAKER_01]: My god, that's so many words, like you click the one and it's just a whole description and now I have to try to understand it.

01:21:59.334 --> 01:22:19.583
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing is make sure an act for you unlock everything because in maps now I run into these things and I'll have like three options I can read and the rest will all say unlocked an act for I can't unlock you serious I don't even know where to go back to get them I was like wait what I didn't I don't know I don't even know what they all are

01:22:20.583 --> 01:22:29.946
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably like left the league mechanic in the dust because I didn't like you probably will have to leave it and dust even though it's built in so much to the end game.

01:22:30.607 --> 01:22:36.469
[SPEAKER_00]: GGG, I doubt I'm alone on this but when I'm going through the campaign I'm just going through the campaign.

01:22:36.589 --> 01:22:42.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing what I need to do in the only thing I ever backtrack for are the little plus signs.

01:22:42.751 --> 01:22:42.911
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

01:22:43.251 --> 01:22:45.072
[SPEAKER_00]: On the interest, that's it.

01:22:46.052 --> 01:22:46.412
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

01:22:46.732 --> 01:22:57.877
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's no plus sign, I'm not going back and not as a refusal thing, but I'm not trying to like, I don't want to spend extra time quadruple checking my progress.

01:22:58.097 --> 01:23:01.899
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm clicking on all your dumb exclamation marks already.

01:23:02.019 --> 01:23:03.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Back and forth and back and forth.

01:23:04.660 --> 01:23:05.421
[SPEAKER_01]: not looking for more.

01:23:06.141 --> 01:23:13.286
[SPEAKER_00]: So make it a little bit more obvious if it's not going to unlock with my progression if I'm forced to do a certain area.

01:23:14.227 --> 01:23:16.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Make it really obvious out.

01:23:17.229 --> 01:23:19.670
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't, but and yeah, it should unlock in the end game.

01:23:19.770 --> 01:23:25.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Even if I'm doing something now, I should not be seeing the majority of my options unlocks an act for him.

01:23:26.275 --> 01:23:26.615
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm 91.

01:23:26.675 --> 01:23:29.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would have taken them right.

01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:35.803
[SPEAKER_00]: So, to go with your point, I have one of those clusters for my build that I haven't unlocked yet.

01:23:35.863 --> 01:23:38.085
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the warlord leader notable.

01:23:38.346 --> 01:23:41.269
[SPEAKER_00]: It says 40% increased presence area of effect.

01:23:41.889 --> 01:23:42.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Love it.

01:23:42.790 --> 01:23:45.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Allies in your presence deal 40% increased damage.

01:23:45.673 --> 01:23:46.214
[SPEAKER_00]: That's huge.

01:23:46.654 --> 01:23:47.215
[SPEAKER_00]: That's huge.

01:23:47.915 --> 01:23:54.420
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's another notable in that same cluster where it's 40% reduced presence area of effect.

01:23:54.921 --> 01:24:00.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But it says allies in your presence regenerate 5-rage per second if you've gained rage recently.

01:24:01.806 --> 01:24:05.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, rage is more damage.

01:24:06.309 --> 01:24:08.431
[SPEAKER_00]: It's 1% more damage per rage.

01:24:08.451 --> 01:24:08.951
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I have.

01:24:09.131 --> 01:24:11.293
[SPEAKER_00]: With a cap of 30, that's 30% more.

01:24:11.393 --> 01:24:13.194
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not using up a support slot.

01:24:14.095 --> 01:24:31.363
[SPEAKER_00]: like that's that's really good so allies in your presence regenerate five rage a second if enough i've gained it so i don't even need it i could just get one and then they get five but then up north here there is where is it all right uh cluster where

01:24:33.960 --> 01:24:38.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Every rage, also grants 1% increased minion damage.

01:24:38.482 --> 01:24:39.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It is increased, but still.

01:24:40.363 --> 01:24:44.785
[SPEAKER_00]: And every 5 rage, also grants 2% increased minion attack speed.

01:24:45.105 --> 01:24:46.505
[SPEAKER_00]: That's called commanding rage.

01:24:47.226 --> 01:24:52.148
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, and there's nodes in that area too, where you can just make it, where you get hit, and you get rich.

01:24:52.708 --> 01:24:52.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

01:24:53.189 --> 01:24:54.309
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, lots lots of those.

01:24:54.430 --> 01:25:00.595
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like those because I'm always thinking boss battles and I'm normally trying to not get hit by Jamir, Quas, stupid, but there's still something you probably get bumped by.

01:25:00.615 --> 01:25:14.366
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

01:25:14.706 --> 01:25:27.858
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I'm not specked into the rage part because I've specked into Stun Threshold, Resistance instead, reducing my, or, bettering my Stun Threshold, but then that's why I keep wanting to go back to Shield Church because then I wouldn't need it.

01:25:28.218 --> 01:25:32.041
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I get like an extra 20 nodes and I can best raise on the widget.

01:25:32.202 --> 01:25:33.543
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not the witch idea anymore.

01:25:34.161 --> 01:25:34.881
[SPEAKER_00]: No, there's back to this.

01:25:35.121 --> 01:25:35.581
[SPEAKER_00]: I see all of them.

01:25:35.661 --> 01:25:35.941
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

01:25:37.762 --> 01:25:38.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Choices tie.

01:25:39.422 --> 01:25:39.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

01:25:39.622 --> 01:25:42.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, all right, see you later.

01:25:42.703 --> 01:25:43.663
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to wrap this up.

01:25:43.723 --> 01:25:47.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for me, my overall takeaway is I think they've done a fantastic job.

01:25:47.324 --> 01:25:48.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really enjoying it.

01:25:48.345 --> 01:25:53.746
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised how much I want to keep going back to play, but just make the campaign shorter and I would be.

01:25:55.841 --> 01:25:58.406
[SPEAKER_00]: would be in heaven because I really want to play a mercenary.

01:25:58.687 --> 01:25:59.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I really want to try it.

01:25:59.588 --> 01:26:04.157
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's get like overly excited about something with the mercenary.

01:26:06.034 --> 01:26:11.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I hear you, my experience hasn't changed by summary.

01:26:12.421 --> 01:26:18.287
[SPEAKER_00]: To me, there's almost no difference to the experience I've had six months ago when a year ago to now.

01:26:19.488 --> 01:26:25.435
[SPEAKER_00]: My ideas, my ascendancy options skills solve the same.

01:26:25.895 --> 01:26:35.319
[SPEAKER_00]: So they've added some stuff like some small QOL things here and there, which is good, um, that, you know, we're already taken for granted, but, um, my experience hasn't changed much.

01:26:35.559 --> 01:26:40.622
[SPEAKER_00]: So for those that are all about like hype and no hype, the things that I'm looking forward to uh, still yet to come.

01:26:41.590 --> 01:26:43.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, hopefully it gets better for you in game.

01:26:44.031 --> 01:26:44.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sure it will.

01:26:45.172 --> 01:26:50.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm not at end game and that is what their whole focus seems not the whole focus.

01:26:50.934 --> 01:26:51.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, it's an exaggeration.

01:26:51.875 --> 01:26:52.375
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of it.

01:26:52.935 --> 01:26:55.016
[SPEAKER_00]: That's been their focus for the last like year.

01:26:55.497 --> 01:26:56.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, so...

01:26:58.002 --> 01:27:02.444
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I'll get there one day if I stop, respectfully roll it, and re-rolling it.

01:27:02.825 --> 01:27:04.746
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I got gems skills for you if you need them.

01:27:05.146 --> 01:27:05.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, supports.

[SPEAKER_01]: Screw it!
