[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
00:58.637 --> 01:06.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't tell if it's from watching your feeling because you know, it's like my dog has grown, you know, a ton, but it doesn't look like the me the dog.
01:06.584 --> 01:14.872
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how the dog can't, you know, daily you don't see the increments and so to me, I can't tell if it's splotchy because I see it every day or if it is growing in.
01:15.313 --> 01:18.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope, but fill it out now, but it is really watery.
01:18.856 --> 01:24.298
[SPEAKER_00]: So if I want to control it, I mean, they're like poofing it out to, you know, like a fro, right?
01:24.358 --> 01:28.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, you just, you just accept what it is and let it go.
01:28.520 --> 01:28.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
01:28.940 --> 01:32.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Or, um, I gotta get into, I think I gotta get into beeswax.
01:32.241 --> 01:34.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were already doing the bomb and trying to bomb.
01:34.962 --> 01:36.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it doesn't, it doesn't.
01:36.303 --> 01:37.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I do wax myself.
01:37.943 --> 01:41.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I prefer it, but, um, oil too is a big deal.
01:41.165 --> 01:42.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Here you get some beard oil.
01:43.005 --> 01:45.026
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll get less the wire-efeeling.
01:48.840 --> 01:49.941

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sensing that order You can like it's not interesting.
02:10.211 --> 02:12.052
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the kids have their play day.
02:12.072 --> 02:16.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's fun seeing them Interact and play with their their kids.
02:16.613 --> 02:17.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate having the play dates here.
02:17.834 --> 02:22.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I like it because then I can see what they're doing But I hate it because I'm like I wouldn't be I don't know
02:24.196 --> 02:35.386
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember what it was like when we were kids and how often our parents enforced their rules on your never in the house as though we were almost always out in a boat.
02:36.167 --> 02:42.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I like ever members sleepovers and you know there's your house and there's Tyson's house and there's my house and
02:43.340 --> 02:44.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my dad would enforce rules.
02:44.661 --> 02:46.823
[SPEAKER_01]: He came down almost half as naked, most of the time to yell at us very quiet.
02:46.843 --> 03:02.954
[SPEAKER_00]: 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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
03:04.369 --> 03:13.475
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always torn at like Which rules to enforce or not like do I like my kids enforce the own rules or should I be stomping downstairs What are you guys doing don't do this?
03:13.535 --> 03:14.415
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you looking stupid?
03:14.495 --> 03:22.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, you know Because that's obviously not apparent and So anyway, but it's not the only room in forces.
03:22.100 --> 03:31.666
[SPEAKER_01]: They can't we our kids don't have their own cell phones not yet at least at least the girls the boys do obviously But we just don't let them take phones upstairs So if you have a friend over that because of age
03:33.123 --> 03:34.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the cell phones.
03:35.184 --> 03:37.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you said the boys have cell phones.
03:37.224 --> 03:38.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
03:38.265 --> 03:39.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Not because of the second stage.
03:40.285 --> 03:40.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
03:40.785 --> 03:43.966
[SPEAKER_01]: It's because they are, well, one is 24, 25.
03:43.986 --> 03:45.107
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't control his phone.
03:45.467 --> 03:46.067
[SPEAKER_01]: But 16.
03:46.087 --> 03:46.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, as well.
03:46.967 --> 03:48.948
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have a shared one for our girls to use.
03:49.088 --> 03:52.029
[SPEAKER_01]: But um, our only rule that we really enforce is they're not.
03:52.349 --> 03:53.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Their friends can't take phones upstairs.
03:53.929 --> 03:58.331
[SPEAKER_01]: Which has been awkward sometimes because I'm like, nah, go put that in the kitchen, leave it on the counter.
03:58.371 --> 03:59.191
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to run upstairs,
03:59.851 --> 04:00.572
[SPEAKER_01]: No one deserves.
04:00.952 --> 04:02.954
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't need a message your mom would do it from the kitchen.
04:03.114 --> 04:03.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
04:04.576 --> 04:04.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
04:04.896 --> 04:10.062
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been fun watching my always enjoy seeing what they're like when they forget that there's parents around, right?
04:10.102 --> 04:21.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when you get to see the, you know, you drop kids off at school back in the day and you get to see how slightly different they are when they're around their friend and the different ways they talk and strut and all that kind of stuff.
04:21.153 --> 04:22.475
[SPEAKER_00]: So the things they laugh about.
04:23.055 --> 04:28.640
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been fun, um, I was doing lots of summer stuff, man, lots and lots of summer stuff.
04:28.720 --> 04:33.884
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good, good, just eating like swimming and hiking and biking and boarding and all that kind of stuff.
04:34.925 --> 04:36.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really having a good summer so far.
04:36.526 --> 04:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been nice and we're going camping next week.
04:38.868 --> 04:48.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And my wife is normally, well, always is a stickler for what we eat and camping, uh, yes, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
04:50.277 --> 05:00.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Her family is used to something a little bit more extravagant taking the time and the energy to bring a whole bunch of stuff So you can have like extravagant like crazy silverware.
05:00.744 --> 05:06.928
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah more like meals were as for me when we would camp I was used to just like eating dry noodles.
05:07.188 --> 05:16.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the entire time obviously not putting that on the kids, but You know like the kids have no problem with hot dogs every night.
05:16.673 --> 05:17.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, right?
05:19.565 --> 05:22.666
[SPEAKER_00]: But you got to have some, Aaron's got a tough time with that.
05:22.706 --> 05:25.908
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, I'm not having hot dogs every meal, but well, it's not every meal.
05:26.088 --> 05:35.032
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, the kids and I came up with the plan to accommodate, you know, some variety for Aaron, but then also stuff that they're actually going to get excited about.
05:35.492 --> 05:39.313
[SPEAKER_00]: But one thing for me, she's doing like back in camping.
05:39.333 --> 05:42.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we're talking like, yeah, we're just, yeah, we're not doing anything.
05:42.095 --> 05:44.496
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we used to where we have to hike for a few hours.
05:44.656 --> 05:45.236
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't blame you.
05:46.016 --> 05:59.148
[SPEAKER_00]: One day, I would have been able to say maybe, but my health can't do that anymore, either, so though I'm sure my wife would love to just leave me up there and Kids back can be like, fine, you're right.
05:59.609 --> 06:00.289
[SPEAKER_00]: You'd like it back.
06:00.309 --> 06:01.170
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a trucker hat.
06:01.250 --> 06:02.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, things, right?
06:02.791 --> 06:04.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, I get picked up for free.
06:04.913 --> 06:05.574
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really your height.
06:05.594 --> 06:06.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm fine, I can.
06:09.038 --> 06:28.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so we're just we're just going we're back and in, but I'm also not a big fan of like needing refrigerated stuff when we're gone, you know what I mean, like needing a multiple coolers or really big cooler, I like doing it with none or as a little as possible, so things like I'll bring something like almond milk instead of like, why does that not just take out milk?
06:28.973 --> 06:35.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it like you can buy them in like one leader can cartons, but then you don't have to refrigerate them till they're opened.
06:36.258 --> 06:42.543
[SPEAKER_00]: So you use them for whatever serial or pancakes or whatever you want to use and then middle last year ink for the rest of the day.
06:42.583 --> 06:44.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're only going for two full days.
06:44.665 --> 06:57.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be three I guess in total and uh so just bring like four of those and you know then I don't need stuff for that so trying to try to go with a smaller cooler and uh because the kids need their hot dogs.
06:57.635 --> 07:00.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and fun anyway
07:01.158 --> 07:02.239
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
07:02.359 --> 07:05.782
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll be seeing her parents in a couple of weeks.
07:06.062 --> 07:07.023
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going camping.
07:07.103 --> 07:09.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we come here with them or you're just camping.
07:09.665 --> 07:10.966
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just just okay.
07:11.026 --> 07:11.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:11.886 --> 07:12.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:12.307 --> 07:14.668
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's we wanted to do some stuff just just us.
07:14.708 --> 07:28.319
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to her parents place to surprise her mother for 70th birthday and then two weeks later we're going camping and then two weeks later we're going back to their house for the actual scheduled visit that we would normally do for
07:30.120 --> 07:30.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
07:30.500 --> 07:31.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't want to overdo it.
07:32.141 --> 07:32.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Fun.
07:32.761 --> 07:33.762
[SPEAKER_00]: They would probably love it.
07:33.842 --> 07:35.462
[SPEAKER_01]: But I spend.
07:35.942 --> 07:37.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that's that's been us.
07:37.403 --> 07:37.883
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, today's the last day of July.
07:41.405 --> 07:45.827
[SPEAKER_00]: So all of a sudden we're halfway through summer and blink, blink, and it's gone.
07:45.987 --> 07:48.268
[SPEAKER_00]: I got the kids to fill out a checklist at the beginning of summer.
07:48.308 --> 07:49.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Things they wanted to do.
07:49.768 --> 07:53.950
[SPEAKER_00]: So things like play land or water park,
07:54.090 --> 07:55.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, like so we got them to do that.
07:55.771 --> 08:03.175
[SPEAKER_00]: And so at the beginning of summer, I went through and schedule everything purchased all the tickets and just all that kind of stuff.
08:03.195 --> 08:04.116
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's being good.
08:04.636 --> 08:06.257

11:12.937 --> 11:14.238
[SPEAKER_01]: What have we got this weekend, Fury?
11:14.958 --> 11:15.379
[SPEAKER_01]: No, much.
11:15.419 --> 11:18.500
[SPEAKER_00]: They came out with their mystery box, and then there was a buttload of patches.
11:18.520 --> 11:23.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they had that one patch for path to that they were all happy about fixing some of the...
11:24.082 --> 11:26.083
[SPEAKER_00]: The boy haven't said shoes that they were struggling with.
11:26.523 --> 11:27.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that.
11:27.824 --> 11:29.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Playing on console, I wasn't aware of the issues.
11:30.085 --> 11:33.006
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was a seven minute video for them, so they were stoked.
11:33.626 --> 11:34.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I should watch it.
11:34.347 --> 11:35.267
[SPEAKER_00]: At some point, I didn't see it.
11:35.847 --> 11:36.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:36.268 --> 11:36.968
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, um...
11:38.109 --> 11:43.812
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, did you look back on last week's episode for the video to see if it was trope you're not because it's doing it again and then of course there was a buttload of patches for path one because it was it's first week mm-hmm did you play this week?
11:43.832 --> 11:44.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I did yeah okay.
11:44.172 --> 11:56.020
[SPEAKER_00]: I, uh, you know what I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I
11:57.190 --> 12:01.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I am I struggled with the luminary and that's my own fault.
12:01.373 --> 12:16.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So like everything that I say about you know where I struggle that I understand so I don't typically play a new the new thing first and it was pretty 0.1 BS and I have played since 0.1 and I still am a little bit
12:17.662 --> 12:18.182
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, yeah.
12:18.202 --> 12:18.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure where I'm at.
12:19.062 --> 12:24.524
[SPEAKER_01]: I played my play session when we recorded on Friday late so that we could play.
12:24.604 --> 12:27.044
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think last week I had to go on to maybe act for something.
12:27.084 --> 12:29.465
[SPEAKER_01]: I just unlocked, I'm like my first nurse there.
12:30.145 --> 12:33.006
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we recorded and then I played a lot Friday night.
12:33.466 --> 12:36.506
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Saturday, I just had the opportunity to play a lot.
12:36.626 --> 12:38.147
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a lot of free time on Saturday.
12:38.187 --> 12:39.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, yeah, I'm going to get this guy going.
12:40.647 --> 12:45.308
[SPEAKER_01]: By the time the evening came on Saturday, I was so mad at myself that I had played Path of Excel.
12:45.349 --> 12:46.249
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I should have just gone
12:47.569 --> 12:48.371
[SPEAKER_01]: because I would have had fun.
12:48.571 --> 12:49.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have enjoyed it.
12:50.014 --> 12:53.321
[SPEAKER_01]: I really struggled with this luminary in the mercenary.
12:53.481 --> 12:53.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I...
12:54.646 --> 12:57.407
[SPEAKER_01]: My first mercenary that I got, I was like, all right, cool, I got my buddy.
12:57.427 --> 12:58.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna buff him up.
12:58.447 --> 13:01.308
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna start running and I was playing RF.
13:01.368 --> 13:05.068
[SPEAKER_01]: So RF is pretty smooth once you get it going through campaigns.
13:05.089 --> 13:07.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it doesn't tend to fall off until quite a bit later.
13:08.449 --> 13:09.650
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was fine.
13:09.690 --> 13:13.571
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just running RF and then you had my mercenary go in.
13:14.371 --> 13:19.012
[SPEAKER_01]: But then when I tried to shift more and to just supporting the mercenary, I
13:20.092 --> 13:20.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I struggled, man.
13:21.455 --> 13:32.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It's such a weird class for me because you're you're so you're so reliant on the RNG of Will and Mercenary show up and which type of Mercenary could it be.
13:33.767 --> 13:40.669
[SPEAKER_01]: because, and that's weird, it's really, I, I've struggled with this class, with this ascendancy since what you came out.
13:40.709 --> 13:44.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Since we very first talked about it, I was like, man, I don't really understand how it's going to work.
13:44.650 --> 13:51.753
[SPEAKER_01]: How's that, you know, the Atlas passive can benefit a class, I just don't get, I don't understand that, it doesn't make any sense to me.
13:51.833 --> 13:52.033
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
13:53.478 --> 14:01.502
[SPEAKER_01]: I did, I struggled with it because I couldn't, if the first person I got, I was like, damn, if I had his skills right now, that'd be awesome.
14:01.522 --> 14:07.405
[SPEAKER_01]: He had like volcanic, fissure of sneaking, and I had him in act two or three, whatever the first one you got.
14:07.766 --> 14:08.906
[SPEAKER_01]: My god, this guy's got to be great.
14:09.486 --> 14:09.747
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
14:10.567 --> 14:11.167
[SPEAKER_01]: was not great.
14:11.207 --> 14:12.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I had RF, so it was fine.
14:12.968 --> 14:19.572
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as I played through the campaign, I think around, well, I know it was whatever 46, wherever I was around 46.
14:20.372 --> 14:22.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I came across, I just kept switching to the next one, right?
14:22.873 --> 14:27.615
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know, you know, what mercenaries are going to be better than the next, so I would come across one.
14:27.635 --> 14:32.518
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it looked like it had skills that were at least decent, I would hire him and start running with him.
14:33.690 --> 14:43.314
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't until 46 where I got the many shot, which I had looked online afterwards and that was like the one to get people said to use the many shot with foul eye shot and it was working it.
14:43.334 --> 14:44.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it did really well.
14:44.955 --> 14:51.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I went through the rest of the campaign then at that point feeling like decent and that was on the Saturday finishing campaign getting into mapping.
14:53.276 --> 14:55.659
[SPEAKER_01]: But then, you know, I got to like 60, 69, 70 somewhere around there, and I'm trying to get gear.
14:55.679 --> 14:56.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to gear myself.
14:56.420 --> 15:06.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to gear my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
15:07.842 --> 15:16.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I get a bow that has a level 7 year requirement, and I have a helmet that has a level 7 year requirement, both decks based obviously, right?
15:17.350 --> 15:25.217
[SPEAKER_01]: It lets me put the bow on my, I had not even paid attention to the love of my mark because I had made the assumption, but in its an assumption, I was wrong.
15:25.918 --> 15:42.364
[SPEAKER_01]: But I had thought that the mercenary would level with me, like as I played, I assumed that I knew that they didn't in the past, but I was like, well, surely in this new one, like a permanent guy levels with you, or am I actually mega skill just right, yeah, I couldn't figure it out.
15:42.384 --> 15:45.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Now my skill gym so widely and I thought because
15:46.585 --> 15:52.668
[SPEAKER_01]: the mercenaries at lower level spawn with less supports not as cool of supports, right?
15:52.688 --> 15:55.949
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't get a lot of the like rare supports that are only found higher up.
15:56.249 --> 16:02.372
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just assume like you'd want to replace them because you'd find ones with better supports, but they would at least be lovely with you.
16:02.392 --> 16:06.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I had been going through the campaign and early mapping decently with it.
16:06.634 --> 16:09.435
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, I go to put the level 70 bowl in the character and it works.
16:09.895 --> 16:12.597
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the level 70 helmet is great out.
16:13.627 --> 16:14.207
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, what?
16:14.387 --> 16:18.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Why can I not put this helmet on the character, but I can put the bow on the character?
16:18.188 --> 16:18.889
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure it out.
16:18.969 --> 16:27.471
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I noticed that my character was, oh, because I think it said like, when I was right-clicking or trying to do it, I think it said something about the level requirement.
16:27.491 --> 16:27.991
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, what?
16:28.051 --> 16:28.752
[SPEAKER_01]: What level requirement?
16:28.772 --> 16:31.913
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I looked and I saw, my guy was level 46.
16:33.153 --> 16:38.395
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I was stuck because I'm like, well, what am I meant to, am I actually just supposed to,
16:39.655 --> 16:40.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't progress.
16:40.536 --> 16:41.776
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd hit a wall in maps.
16:41.816 --> 16:43.117
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't killing stuff.
16:43.177 --> 16:47.999
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like sitting there for three minutes waiting for a rarer to just maybe could I tickle you a bit?
16:48.179 --> 16:49.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Could I at least get some health down?
16:49.940 --> 16:51.040
[SPEAKER_01]: It just wasn't feeling great.
16:51.120 --> 16:54.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I'm thinking like I spent time on Saturday.
16:55.122 --> 16:57.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Just spamming Tier 1 and Tier 2 maps.
16:57.783 --> 16:58.983
[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to find a mercenary.
16:59.304 --> 17:02.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I spent my whole beginning of my Atlas passive around Merks.
17:03.225 --> 17:06.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Normally I would go straight into like maps to stay and making sure I'm doing final maps.
17:07.527 --> 17:10.149
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to go to make sure that I had a hundred percent chance.
17:10.189 --> 17:11.510
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I only got up to 90 percent.
17:11.530 --> 17:19.515
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a pre-point one, 90 percent chance to get a Merck, because you also can get Merck's spawn with an extra support.
17:20.156 --> 17:21.416
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really big deal.
17:21.837 --> 17:32.024
[SPEAKER_01]: To be able to have a mercenary that has a chance to spawn with additional supports on their skills, like that's a big deal, but I have to get that out of the Atlas passive to get to get that in the maps.
17:33.044 --> 17:57.332
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had to spend my points to get the Merks and then I just spent low tier maps and then at that point because my Merk was so low I'm just like, well, I guess I'll take the new Merk right if I come across a new Merk Let's try this new Merk and I'll hire them and run with them I did not come across a single Merk that could kill like my level 46 Val, I shot one none of them none of them came even close.
17:57.352 --> 17:58.673
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I probably finished a bow
18:00.085 --> 18:04.726
[SPEAKER_01]: I probably finish about 20, like low tier maps, tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3.
18:04.746 --> 18:12.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I just kept hitting Mesa over and over as much as I can, because I just quick you do the loop and you find your mercenary and add higher them, and then I do them for the next loop.
18:12.247 --> 18:12.967
[SPEAKER_01]: See how what it's like.
18:13.567 --> 18:18.128
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was, I was so frustrated, because I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
18:18.168 --> 18:20.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Am I actually supposed to just look for a mini shot?
18:21.489 --> 18:27.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this supposed to be the Merc that I'm supposed to get, or maybe I'm doing something incorrect, but there's the,
18:28.530 --> 18:31.911
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we talk about their UIs, their information, their stuff.
18:32.872 --> 18:36.253
[SPEAKER_01]: We play a stack game where they don't often provide you with all of the stats.
18:36.293 --> 18:43.536
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's really hard because there's nothing in the game that tells me if this item is going to increase the damage of my character.
18:43.616 --> 18:48.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't see what does that, what's the even just a DPS check?
18:48.137 --> 18:49.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I mouse over top of their skill?
18:50.418 --> 18:59.604
[SPEAKER_01]: to see what this new bow will do to the damage that I don't know and so I don't actually know exactly how to properly scale a character.
19:00.644 --> 19:09.430
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was really tough and so on Saturday towards the end on Saturday evening I was like this cannot be the way that it's meant to be played.
19:09.510 --> 19:15.133
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't imagine that I meant to just be I was I think I finally got to like level 80
19:16.630 --> 19:18.851
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was the most stalled out I've ever felt.
19:18.911 --> 19:20.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't progress the Atlas.
19:20.332 --> 19:22.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I was struggling to get into like sevens and eights.
19:22.853 --> 19:26.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was doing up to sixes, but they were not great.
19:26.495 --> 19:28.456
[SPEAKER_01]: And I could not find a new mercenary.
19:28.476 --> 19:33.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I never found a new mercenary that whole time I was still using this level 461, which I couldn't upgrade the bow or the helmet.
19:33.719 --> 19:33.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
19:34.919 --> 19:39.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and I just, I was like, this cannot be, I must be missing something.
19:39.161 --> 19:40.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this can't be,
19:41.355 --> 19:49.239
[SPEAKER_01]: What they mean for me to be doing at this level like and then you would come across a mercenary and you're like okay Like this one might be an upgrade.
19:49.299 --> 19:56.603
[SPEAKER_01]: I found one I wish I could remember what they were Mass occurred me I opened them up.
19:56.763 --> 20:02.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to stay away from them and I was like two tap I don't even know how I died but I died so fast the mercenary that I was like okay
20:03.795 --> 20:05.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and then the mercenaries gone, right?
20:05.317 --> 20:07.440
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't, you can't try and catch them again.
20:08.201 --> 20:14.170
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then, you know, like your mercenary, I only had it happen one time where my mercenary died, but that's it.
20:14.190 --> 20:15.652
[SPEAKER_01]: The map's over.
20:16.554 --> 20:17.595
[SPEAKER_01]: If your mercenary's dead.
20:18.790 --> 20:27.673
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's nothing you can do because I can't even go back into my base and pull up one of my backup mercenaries, they won't be still doing RF right no, I'm off.
20:27.693 --> 20:29.554
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was the most important that is my damage.
20:29.634 --> 20:31.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that's what you meant.
20:31.915 --> 20:32.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:32.235 --> 20:37.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they're dead, I find that odd like why can't I go back to my base and grab a different mercenary?
20:39.033 --> 20:41.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that actually seems like it would make more sense.
20:41.755 --> 20:43.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me build two mercenaries.
20:43.216 --> 20:45.197
[SPEAKER_01]: One is my mapping one.
20:45.217 --> 20:46.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I switched to one when I want a boss kill.
20:47.019 --> 20:52.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, well, I don't understand why I can't bring one of my other mercenaries into the map.
20:53.003 --> 20:54.384
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, I've wiped a map.
20:54.424 --> 20:54.884
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gone.
20:54.924 --> 20:58.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just start the next one because I can't get them back.
20:59.007 --> 21:01.269
[SPEAKER_01]: So I struggled with it, man.
21:01.369 --> 21:02.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I really had a tough time.
21:02.350 --> 21:04.251
[SPEAKER_01]: They did bring up the point one patch.
21:06.152 --> 21:09.253
[SPEAKER_01]: which was, I had heard the what are we working on?
21:10.193 --> 21:10.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
21:10.813 --> 21:15.554
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, but the way that they worded the what are we working on, it seemed like some of those things were maybe already done.
21:16.094 --> 21:18.354
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, okay, I think on, they often do, yeah.
21:18.494 --> 21:19.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's just not in the pat.
21:19.934 --> 21:21.515
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just hasn't been released yet.
21:21.735 --> 21:24.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, but like, they're finished to them.
21:24.955 --> 21:26.256
[SPEAKER_00]: What they have done released yet.
21:26.676 --> 21:27.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I read it that way.
21:27.376 --> 21:28.336
[SPEAKER_00]: They were to like that often.
21:28.356 --> 21:30.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I think on like, whens, they may be Wednesday or Thursday.
21:30.876 --> 21:32.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I popped on to play for a little bit.
21:32.117 --> 21:32.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was talking to people in 2021.
21:35.007 --> 21:39.831
[SPEAKER_01]: I was struggling, so I was like, hey, just curious, guys, do you know if the changes from works have happened?
21:39.851 --> 21:40.852
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, no, not yet.
21:40.972 --> 21:41.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I got that makes sense.
21:41.893 --> 21:44.635
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I just stopped again, went back to Play Power World.
21:45.456 --> 21:49.159
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I did come back in point one, because they made some changes.
21:49.720 --> 21:51.882
[SPEAKER_01]: They made it so that, I,
21:54.373 --> 21:55.334
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a note here.
21:55.354 --> 22:00.281
[SPEAKER_01]: I wrote some notes and I said that was the noteness.
22:00.702 --> 22:02.083
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I said that more.
22:02.143 --> 22:02.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
22:02.804 --> 22:03.926
[SPEAKER_01]: But no, no, don't be sorry.
22:04.066 --> 22:09.834
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the things that I mentioned was that hidden stats and hidden details in a stat game suck.
22:11.117 --> 22:30.668
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot have, I learned that the mercenaries had a hidden damage reduction, mercenaries permanent minions, permanent, sorry, not permanent enemies, permanent mercenaries, had a hidden damage reduction, well, how much?
22:31.048 --> 22:31.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
22:32.049 --> 22:36.651
[SPEAKER_01]: It was crazy if I went in did a map and I actually, maybe I didn't, at that time you
22:38.070 --> 22:48.212
[SPEAKER_01]: seem to work different at the point one, but if I decided to take items from somebody or I didn't want to hire them because whatever, then they would run with me through the rest of the map.
22:48.733 --> 22:53.714
[SPEAKER_01]: But these guys, a non-permanent mercenary was awesome.
22:55.054 --> 22:58.755
[SPEAKER_01]: They were crushing it, but my mercenary was like tickling them.
22:59.592 --> 23:00.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, well, I don't understand it.
23:00.893 --> 23:06.998
[SPEAKER_01]: So then when I read the stuff about point one, I was like, hold on, why is there a hidden stat?
23:07.018 --> 23:08.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm already blind.
23:08.439 --> 23:11.081
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know exactly what is improving my mercenary.
23:12.723 --> 23:14.444
[SPEAKER_01]: And now there's additional stuff that's hidden.
23:14.904 --> 23:17.527
[SPEAKER_01]: So I found that really frustrating because I was like, well,
23:18.668 --> 23:29.213
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I didn't know how to improve my character, I was really struggling with understanding what is the game loop for me because I got to gear myself, I got to gear a mercenary, but if you want to try and swap out a mercenary because you're like, well...
23:30.365 --> 23:32.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't actually know what a good mercenary is.
23:32.867 --> 23:34.629
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't gear every mercenary.
23:34.669 --> 23:39.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't get gear for every archetype that you come across.
23:39.092 --> 23:46.799
[SPEAKER_01]: So then it becomes tough to upgrade or switch out your mercenary because you just don't know if it's gonna be an improvement or not.
23:47.299 --> 23:49.581
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, yeah man, I really struggled.
23:49.641 --> 23:51.623
[SPEAKER_01]: I did get my fourth ascension after point one.
23:51.643 --> 23:53.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I did go back, play point one.
23:54.105 --> 24:00.291
[SPEAKER_01]: I was able to finally upgrade my mercenary, but I upgraded my mercenary with the same mercenary just a better version of it.
24:01.393 --> 24:04.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I tried every single freaking mercenary I came across.
24:04.956 --> 24:05.617
[SPEAKER_01]: I would take them.
24:05.957 --> 24:11.543
[SPEAKER_01]: I would go and get them in like a tier five or six map, and then I would take them into a tier one map.
24:12.423 --> 24:13.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would be like, let's see how they feel.
24:13.765 --> 24:14.425
[SPEAKER_01]: And a tier one map.
24:15.406 --> 24:15.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.
24:16.515 --> 24:29.526
[SPEAKER_01]: like I just could not find one until I found another vowel I shot one and then I was like okay finally I got an improvement to my damage but I found one absolution one after the point one one and I did actually like the absolution one.
24:30.880 --> 24:35.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that one felt pretty good too, but yeah, it just I don't know.
24:35.261 --> 24:36.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I really struggled with how to improve.
24:36.901 --> 24:37.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure it out.
24:38.142 --> 24:41.842
[SPEAKER_01]: It was uh, getting tough to push into the red maps and just frustrating.
24:42.042 --> 24:43.263
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt better after 0.1.
24:43.923 --> 24:47.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I did play a bit last night and I think I got to like 80.
24:47.584 --> 24:51.104
[SPEAKER_01]: 86 maybe and I've got my fourth ascension done.
24:51.184 --> 24:55.145
[SPEAKER_01]: So like I'm I'm a fully ascended and I took this new new
24:58.496 --> 24:59.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I don't know.
24:59.757 --> 25:04.140
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a bit tough for me because I I just was very lost.
25:04.220 --> 25:05.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I was pretty stuck.
25:05.621 --> 25:07.642
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I understand luminary was new.
25:07.822 --> 25:14.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything's new with it, but I also felt like, but I don't know how much it was actually tested.
25:14.887 --> 25:16.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there was a comment.
25:17.288 --> 25:18.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wish I could remember where I read it.
25:18.910 --> 25:24.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it came from our discord or where it was, but it was a conversation, you know what?
25:24.095 --> 25:24.936
[SPEAKER_01]: It probably wasn't even discord.
25:24.956 --> 25:25.817
[SPEAKER_01]: It had to just popped up.
25:26.238 --> 25:28.480
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an interview with Mark Summer.
25:28.580 --> 25:29.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
25:29.841 --> 25:32.024
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was talking specifically about,
25:33.525 --> 25:45.759
[SPEAKER_01]: Gameskips like mechanic campaign skips and I know this doesn't sound like it's related But it is but he was talking about campaign skips and how it will probably never come to Pat the VxL like they're just Jonathan's been against it Chris has been against it.
25:45.839 --> 25:46.580
[SPEAKER_01]: He's against it.
25:46.660 --> 25:50.505
[SPEAKER_01]: He agrees But when he explained it he said you know
25:51.085 --> 26:09.945
[SPEAKER_01]: as developers we can have a character at endgame with all the right gear and there's no connection to that character and you know you haven't built that character up which I do understand that and I was a little bit confused because I was like I don't know that that's what people are asking for people aren't saying like hey give me a level 80 with gear so that I can just go to maps I think people are just saying like I'd like a faster way to get
26:10.566 --> 26:11.687
[SPEAKER_01]: to maps or endgame.
26:12.107 --> 26:21.275
[SPEAKER_01]: But the part about it that stuck out to me was the part that, you know, as developers, we can just have a character that's, you know, high enough level has the right gear, and then we can play a test.
26:34.147 --> 26:39.530
[SPEAKER_01]: I've just, it confuses me a little bit, like to the point where I hire three mercenaries and I'm in my hideout.
26:40.231 --> 26:43.132
[SPEAKER_01]: All three mercenaries share of the exact same tile.
26:43.312 --> 26:47.014
[SPEAKER_01]: They all stand exactly on top of each other and I can't pick the one I want.
26:47.134 --> 26:49.596
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't move them with the editor for the hideout.
26:50.056 --> 26:55.579
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to go to like act one or act ten or act nine because those ones separate them.
26:56.259 --> 26:59.181
[SPEAKER_01]: They all three stand together, like beside each other and I can pick them.
26:59.881 --> 27:05.465
[SPEAKER_01]: In end game, I have to go back to those zones when I want to swap out my merch because they stack on top of each other.
27:05.885 --> 27:09.647
[SPEAKER_01]: That takes like half a second to know that that happens.
27:10.708 --> 27:17.652
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like so I just I felt a little bit stuck because I whatever man, I played a brand new class, I get it.
27:17.813 --> 27:19.514
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm starting to feel a little bit better with it.
27:19.914 --> 27:27.379
[SPEAKER_01]: I did try to do some more you know reading and trying to see what people were doing, but it didn't help me understand it because
27:28.545 --> 27:33.969
[SPEAKER_01]: If you tell me that I need to get a bow that increases crit, can you tell me, like, let me understand why?
27:34.809 --> 27:40.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't, I'm doing it blindly because when I equip it onto my character, I don't see a number thing.
27:40.773 --> 27:50.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see something that tells me that the damage of value I shot is improved more with crit than it is with say flat damage or like, or am I getting percentage damage?
27:50.399 --> 27:53.822
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, it's just weird to me that I can't see that as a stat somewhere.
27:54.482 --> 27:54.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
27:55.983 --> 28:21.966
[SPEAKER_00]: And the irony is that this comes out like so that's no different than with like zombies or reaper or anything like I have no idea what anything's doing there's nothing in the game that tells you both those minion stats but in terms of like DPS or survivability or anything like that you can see the flat stats on a minion right by clicking on the skill gem and it just gives you the totals but there's no right implication for what that means in game.
28:22.967 --> 28:36.178
[SPEAKER_00]: But funny enough, the irony with what you're struggling with and the lack of information comes at the same time, the acknowledge that that's been the case for in a slightly different way, but the same case in general for the anime guardian.
28:37.059 --> 28:44.485
[SPEAKER_00]: So then they come up with more information and accessibility for the guardian while they come up with other allies, it's like, nope, we're not going to provide.
28:49.662 --> 28:51.464
[SPEAKER_00]: how they balance their skill gems.
28:52.444 --> 28:56.407
[SPEAKER_00]: They've now just added a whole new world to that, right?
28:56.988 --> 29:04.233
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's certain mercenaries that are stronger or weaker because of a certain skill or a certain item or certain combination of all of the above,
29:05.494 --> 29:18.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they've just added that to the mix of an already overwhelming list of, we got to keep these relevant, at least good enough to play with versus not.
29:19.289 --> 29:20.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's tough.
29:20.189 --> 29:21.451
[SPEAKER_00]: And the the the the
29:27.497 --> 29:35.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, sure it's your choice, but it's not your fault if you're playing a marketed archetype, which was very marketed.
29:36.947 --> 29:37.447
[SPEAKER_00]: and it sucked.
29:38.248 --> 29:58.678
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's not the users fault you know what I mean and so whether it is that the company was rushing something or whether it was an oversight or whatever it is it still falls on the company to all right this is new make it relevant and it's it's like you have this whole big marketing thing right for whatever companies whatever product it is and then if it doesn't
30:00.167 --> 30:00.647
[SPEAKER_00]: work well.
30:01.408 --> 30:03.769
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, it just doesn't make the product look good.
30:03.830 --> 30:21.722
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's disappointing when you're really excited and like for you, like you finally went out of your comfort zone in a way to play something new, like we said, a highly marketed thing and then it just kind of falls flat or it, whether it's testing or whether it was just too big to fully test, but, um,
30:22.462 --> 30:23.322
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too bad.
30:23.983 --> 30:33.706
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of really cool changes to the game itself that, like at the end of the day, it's almost like your car got a paint job, but the engine still sucked.
30:33.886 --> 30:34.446
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
30:34.566 --> 30:44.190
[SPEAKER_00]: In a way, it's like you're trying to enjoy the game for what it is, but it was your build, the archetype that really held you back from all the other really cool changes of the game added in this patch.
30:44.907 --> 30:52.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I mean, I didn't play until recently, I didn't do a ton of the underwater stuff, which I actually really do like the underwater stuff.
30:52.334 --> 30:56.258
[SPEAKER_01]: But the one benefit was I was happy to play another game.
30:56.498 --> 30:58.920
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually, and then I thought like, maybe this is a health thing.
30:59.201 --> 31:01.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm not feeling it right now.
31:01.803 --> 31:04.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I, if I'm gonna play a game, I wanna have some fun.
31:04.786 --> 31:06.348
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, we talked about this in the past,
31:06.868 --> 31:12.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Excel is pretty notorious for not respecting your time all the time, you know like they're and that's fine That is the game that it is.
31:12.331 --> 31:15.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what I'm playing But I was like I'm I want to have some fun.
31:15.152 --> 31:16.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna be happy.
31:16.092 --> 31:21.315
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll end play in some game So I played Paul world when I had time to play like it was weird having free time and
31:22.155 --> 31:30.083
[SPEAKER_01]: right clicking on seam, and I had the two choices there, and I'm like, ah, it's going to load up power, because it loads up, and I have smile, because I'm going to play and have a good time.
31:30.503 --> 31:33.906
[SPEAKER_01]: So once I got back into Path of Exhaustor.1, like they did improve some stuff.
31:34.007 --> 31:37.910
[SPEAKER_01]: I, like I said, I spent some time doing the underwater stuff, which was actually quite fun.
31:38.030 --> 31:40.213
[SPEAKER_01]: I did enjoy a good part of it.
31:40.293 --> 31:43.636
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some parts that I was like, yeah, it's a bit tedious, but it was fun.
31:43.656 --> 31:44.357
[SPEAKER_01]: The loot was good.
31:46.412 --> 31:49.373
[SPEAKER_01]: They have done a very good job of making me more of a fan of PUE2.
31:50.114 --> 31:56.697
[SPEAKER_01]: When sometimes I'm playing Path of Exile one, there are times where I'm like, okay, I get why I enjoy PUE2 better.
31:56.757 --> 32:01.359
[SPEAKER_01]: PUE2 has much more meaningful fights and loot.
32:02.359 --> 32:06.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I can kill over there, I let it in here.
32:06.881 --> 32:07.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you?
32:07.201 --> 32:08.362
[SPEAKER_00]: That's wearing it.
32:08.682 --> 32:08.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:09.703 --> 32:10.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even see it come in.
32:12.075 --> 32:12.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, as well.
32:12.876 --> 32:13.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I was in the bathroom.
32:13.677 --> 32:13.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
32:13.998 --> 32:14.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
32:14.479 --> 32:16.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I just, there's more meaningful loop.
32:16.081 --> 32:23.131
[SPEAKER_01]: When I fight a rare and puy too, I'm pretty confident that I will, you know, there's a good chance that something's going to drop that is exciting.
32:23.171 --> 32:23.952
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an improvement.
32:23.972 --> 32:24.613
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm going to get it.
32:24.673 --> 32:27.577
[SPEAKER_01]: And puy one because there's just the everywhere.
32:28.618 --> 32:32.019
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a really hard game to play soul itself on mind.
32:32.159 --> 32:35.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I love trade, I love trade, I'm all happy to do trade.
32:35.040 --> 32:52.945
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like trade as like a filler, I like need some resist, I need some stats, I know I've got a piece of item that, you know, you can't target farm affixes in Path of Excel, so I, you know, if I'm missing a suffix and I need some decks or whatever it is, I know I can replace this particular item and improve it, that's what I like trade for.
32:54.085 --> 32:56.566
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I would play Path of Excel one without that.
32:57.810 --> 33:01.453
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just, there is not meaningful loot dropping on the ground.
33:02.414 --> 33:03.435
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not finding upgrades.
33:03.515 --> 33:06.418
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I was reading, this is one thing that frustrated me with the point one patch.
33:06.958 --> 33:09.040
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, okay, cool, mercenary stuff.
33:09.140 --> 33:16.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't like that I'm getting power like out of, or an increase of my character by doing the Atlas.
33:16.306 --> 33:17.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I just find that weird.
33:17.787 --> 33:18.588
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't get it.
33:18.788 --> 33:22.872
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just odd to me that I'm using the Atlas passive to improve my build.
33:22.972 --> 33:25.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Typically, the Atlas passive is to improve my,
33:25.985 --> 33:30.877
[SPEAKER_01]: like loot drops or my experience or something, and then I'm using that to get, I just weird to me, it's odd.
33:30.958 --> 33:31.178
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
33:33.437 --> 33:46.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I was reading the point one patch, and Abyss is obviously new this league, how they've changed up Pewie 1 to be the Abyss style of Pewie 2, and I like it, I don't like chasing the things around, so I'm happy with that.
33:47.206 --> 33:53.029
[SPEAKER_01]: But they buffed Chessloop, they buffed loot to drop from a Chess, not loot from monsters.
33:53.269 --> 33:58.533
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like, I'm finding nothing when I do these abysses, like very, very little.
33:59.413 --> 34:07.738
[SPEAKER_01]: and then I'm reading that they've massively buffed the chests to drop more stuff I'm like but there's like eight rares I just killed.
34:08.138 --> 34:10.119
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be cool if they drop the stuff.
34:11.019 --> 34:11.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the chest!
34:12.901 --> 34:18.785
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it made me, it made me a little bit excited to go back to POE 2 when it comes out.
34:18.805 --> 34:20.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I enjoy the POE 1.
34:20.666 --> 34:23.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the underground stuff, the underwater stuff.
34:23.728 --> 34:27.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I do want to play that more because it does seem fun to do it.
34:27.090 --> 34:30.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was finding the loot fund, the experience was pretty good.
34:31.717 --> 34:36.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't understand the direction I, it just seems odd to me.
34:36.020 --> 34:43.545
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know exactly what's best for me to do to get better gear except which I don't like, find a way to farm currency and then trade for it.
34:45.166 --> 34:48.487
[SPEAKER_01]: and the new crafting thing with the new stuff, I was, I was starting people in discord.
34:48.807 --> 34:49.668
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks awesome.
34:49.768 --> 34:51.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot wait to get into that.
34:51.208 --> 34:52.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that seems so cool.
34:52.589 --> 34:58.011
[SPEAKER_01]: This ability to, you're gonna exalt, slam an item, get four options, pick your best one.
34:58.031 --> 35:00.692
[SPEAKER_01]: You're gonna, like, for all the currencies, I think that's so cool.
35:01.232 --> 35:05.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's such a good way of increasing the odds of being able to improve your gear through crafting.
35:06.274 --> 35:06.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Very cool.
35:07.395 --> 35:10.316
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would also like something on the ground to be like, whoo!
35:11.195 --> 35:11.775
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not great.
35:11.955 --> 35:12.376
[SPEAKER_01]: That's sweet.
35:12.396 --> 35:13.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to see that.
35:13.436 --> 35:16.418
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's been a bit of a frustrating week for me.
35:16.498 --> 35:24.824
[SPEAKER_01]: I have struggled to have fun so far in this league with the luminary because it's sort of very slow and then I rolled into 0.1.
35:25.124 --> 35:29.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I was impressed I came back because I was a little worried, you know, we've told that I get to go hard.
35:29.046 --> 35:31.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But I didn't go very hard, so it was a bit easier to come back.
35:32.330 --> 35:40.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I'm still hoping that there's some improvements coming because if felt a bit, uh, it just felt a bit untested.
35:40.493 --> 35:44.734
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt a bit like I was, they were figuring things out with me as I was figuring things out.
35:45.254 --> 35:50.936
[SPEAKER_01]: And while I don't mind following a build, I like the idea being able to follow a build and look at it and understand what somebody's doing.
35:51.116 --> 35:52.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know why.
35:52.717 --> 35:56.782
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't want to have to read a build word for word and try and follow it step by step.
35:56.802 --> 35:57.584
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not for me.
35:57.624 --> 35:59.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to give you the just giving the idea.
35:59.326 --> 35:59.786
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
35:59.867 --> 36:04.573
[SPEAKER_01]: But this time, I felt like a crunching information about what to do with this luminary.
36:04.613 --> 36:05.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what was the best?
36:06.783 --> 36:09.646
[SPEAKER_01]: way to go about it because I wanted to play the support style.
36:09.666 --> 36:10.346
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it'd be fun.
36:10.386 --> 36:12.428
[SPEAKER_01]: That was sort of what I saw them in doing in the video.
36:13.489 --> 36:15.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'm just, yeah, I'm still getting there.
36:15.891 --> 36:16.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Still working on it.
36:16.592 --> 36:17.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I'm 86.
36:18.233 --> 36:26.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I will still be playing it more, but I'm hoping there's more to come after this point one patch because I'm a bit confused with the loot direction.
36:26.321 --> 36:27.962
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why they're buffing chests.
36:28.242 --> 36:28.823
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that.
36:29.604 --> 36:29.784
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
36:30.800 --> 36:33.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how's your playtime?
36:33.042 --> 36:34.763
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you working on where to get to?
36:35.804 --> 36:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, um, I don't remember the last time you became disinterested in path one within a week of lead launch.
36:44.792 --> 36:49.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Never within the first two days, never, ever, ever, I've never had that before, so I was just putting it down.
36:49.716 --> 36:50.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:52.268 --> 36:53.028
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's interesting.
36:53.548 --> 36:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully it's build specific, not game specific for me, otherwise you can just join me in path too.
36:59.530 --> 37:09.573
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I was playing path one because I said I would, my opinions, the path one haven't changed, but what folks on that my build itself is really, really strong.
37:11.333 --> 37:12.654
[SPEAKER_01]: This is zombies, or what are we doing?
37:12.674 --> 37:32.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm just doing Guardian, I'm just doing zombies, and my DPS is crazy, so this maybe it's the change they made to the minions that kind of stand around and stutter, and that fixed they had for it, and then there was that list of a few minions that it would improve.
37:33.369 --> 37:39.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Zombies was on that list Like my build is just annihilating everything I go through.
37:40.215 --> 37:44.919
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's great Being the guardian as opposed to the witch.
37:44.999 --> 37:48.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I just have Random armor kicking around through the campaign.
37:48.762 --> 37:49.543
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need much.
37:49.603 --> 37:53.386
[SPEAKER_00]: It's similar to path 2 in that regard right you just you have a tiny bit there and
37:55.547 --> 37:58.289
[SPEAKER_00]: And it does wonders in terms of physical damage.
37:58.309 --> 38:05.892
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also think that I'm doing defensive-wise as focusing on physical damage mitigation and increasing my maximum elemental resist.
38:06.372 --> 38:11.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I only have 76 right now because that's all that's available in the North all everything else is coming.
38:11.514 --> 38:12.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, this camera's showing me nuts.
38:13.316 --> 38:16.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, everything else is a lot farther down south in the tree.
38:16.060 --> 38:16.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still in the campaign.
38:16.981 --> 38:20.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I just started, but that's so really good for campaign that act nine.
38:20.726 --> 38:27.617
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, but also part of the quote unquote shredding that my zombies are doing is.
38:29.598 --> 38:55.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, in part, to the amount of supports that I have available to me at this time, because everything's white sockets, everything's strong, it's a totally different game, I'm enjoying the game for totally different reasons that I enjoyed it before, I have more loot available to me, because now it's just a natural-butt game, I don't have to worry about what socket colors are going to roll.
38:56.391 --> 39:01.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's nice any five socket that drops as long as I have the attributes for it It's gonna work.
39:01.237 --> 39:02.598
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to worry about it.
39:02.738 --> 39:11.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's only gonna roll red and green when I get all blue Yep, so that's nice and so I'm I'm a lot stronger just because of that
39:12.669 --> 39:32.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I designed my build for the old way that Path of Exile was, so I'm used to the expectation of less gear, like I'm used to gear not mattering, okay, at all, and it eventually coming, but needing to campaign with nothing, right?
39:32.435 --> 39:33.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead, do you think?
39:33.115 --> 39:40.737
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, I'm just turning it to silent, and so I'm used to gear, meaning nothing, so I'm going through the game already with that, so the gear's still,
39:41.597 --> 39:56.413
[SPEAKER_00]: at funny enough, I actually have decent gear, but I'm not, but my build revolves around not needing it, so things like being stationary with ice armor or whatever it's called, what's the 35% res one I forget?
39:57.634 --> 40:01.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Arctic armor, you know, elemental purity
40:04.468 --> 40:12.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but just things like that, flesh and stone, being stationary, gets you up to 9% physical damage mitigation, the pantheon thing.
40:12.292 --> 40:19.395
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just those little things that make it a much smoother experience, but you add that with a five-link.
40:20.556 --> 40:39.216
[SPEAKER_00]: of zombies that sometimes I'm like still doing three links as I get to like act seven or Yeah, because it's just not dropping for me, right, and But then like nice but to me it's so Like it looks always sucked in past one it always has so that's not new, but
40:40.477 --> 40:47.922
[SPEAKER_00]: more loot's available to me, which is nice, but the game is so easy now, like there's zero difficulty to it, not at all.
40:48.902 --> 40:53.605
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd love to say it's my build, but I really don't think it is, I think I'm purely just the sockets.
40:54.425 --> 41:01.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm just, I am, my minions are so much stronger because I can socket what I want when I want.
41:01.550 --> 41:01.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
41:02.370 --> 41:06.653
[SPEAKER_01]: But that will eventually hit a point where you would have gotten there in maps.
41:07.294 --> 41:11.316
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you don't even mean like it feels like it's just a faster route to that spot.
41:11.336 --> 41:16.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious what it's, I'm curious if those changes are felt in for you when you get to maps.
41:17.000 --> 41:20.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Where you would have had a five link and now you still have a five link.
41:20.963 --> 41:22.224
[SPEAKER_01]: It has, does it feel better still?
41:22.824 --> 41:29.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, and I mean to go back to your point to bow, you know, not campaign skipping, but just looking for a faster way to go through the campaign.
41:29.330 --> 41:34.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, like, sockets is really an answer to that, right?
41:34.694 --> 41:42.821
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, focusing on my build, I like my build, I've ascended twice now, everything's easy.
41:43.241 --> 41:44.743
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so easy easy easy mode.
41:44.863 --> 41:47.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through things are dying very quickly.
41:47.085 --> 41:54.293
[SPEAKER_00]: I my health barely moves Is our old killed me once out of nowhere and then like I was just standing there for every single loss Rare.
41:54.313 --> 41:55.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not doing anything.
41:55.274 --> 42:01.941
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just standing there and then all of a sudden my health has gone so it must have been like two crits in a row or something I don't know I mean, I just do
42:05.111 --> 42:09.353
[SPEAKER_00]: And the second time I went through it wasn't a problem, so I just must have been the random crit thing, and that's fine.
42:09.734 --> 42:14.116
[SPEAKER_00]: So I go through and I'm an actor nine or wherever the dirty sewers are, right?
42:14.196 --> 42:15.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I forget whatever one that is.
42:16.677 --> 42:22.040
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just haven't had a lot of time to play it, but I'm going through, and I like the permanent minion thing like it.
42:22.180 --> 42:32.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And I even changed like I was doing endurance charges, and last week I was talking about the node that does 8% chance of deal double damage, and it also comes with my characters chaos resist.
42:34.546 --> 42:36.649
[SPEAKER_00]: So, two things were kind of bugging me.
42:36.669 --> 42:42.595
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't know, like, a lot of, sometimes I'm in the mood to interact even though I like zero button builds.
42:42.695 --> 42:44.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I'm in the mood to just do something.
42:46.461 --> 42:51.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, whether it's holding a button down or whatever it is, while I'm zero buttoning, right?
42:51.202 --> 42:55.343
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like, I like seeing my character interact, like I've always loved the idea of spiritual aid.
42:56.903 --> 43:03.404
[SPEAKER_00]: So, doing something like that, but this, this, I don't know, maybe it's because I can't customize my controller buttons, you know?
43:03.884 --> 43:08.705
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is, but I'm like, I just want to play with the left analog stick.
43:08.725 --> 43:11.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I literally don't want to hit any buttons unless I have to pick something up.
43:12.666 --> 43:15.969
[SPEAKER_00]: So, for those that don't play, left analogs, they're called, obviously.
43:16.009 --> 43:23.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This button LB is what your healing flask is, and on console slash control of support, there's something called the smart flask system.
43:23.836 --> 43:29.240
[SPEAKER_00]: So, if LB, which is my health flask, is empty, but I have another health flask anywhere else.
43:29.300 --> 43:31.422
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll automatically use the next health flask in line.
43:32.183 --> 43:34.625
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, right now, I just have five health flasks because who cares?
43:36.206 --> 43:39.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I'll probably just keep that because again, who cares?
43:42.196 --> 43:42.917
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I wanted.
43:43.017 --> 43:46.800
[SPEAKER_00]: So I actually got rid of, I was originally going to hold down enduring cry.
43:47.641 --> 43:49.602
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I also had that one notable, I forget.
43:49.622 --> 43:56.709
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a small minion damage cluster where minions get increased damage if you've used a minion skill recently.
43:57.850 --> 44:04.976
[SPEAKER_00]: And so my minion skill that I would use that isn't that isn't being triggered would be signal prey.
44:06.216 --> 44:20.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, right from Predator Support, but even that like once I have that then I'm like I have before seconds I got hit a button, so I actually got rid of that cluster for the minion damage for the bonus for when you use it.
44:21.382 --> 44:36.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, recently and then I also got rid of my endurance charges, so then I went down and actually got that cluster of chaos Resist and Minimum damage just because there's no point me going down the left side of that trio went down the middle on the west side.
44:36.698 --> 44:41.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and just for more If case and now I'm I'll I'm doing that and I have
44:42.624 --> 45:05.137
[SPEAKER_00]: switched up gems a little bit so now it's it's funny because now I have withering step and phase run along with steel skin linked to automation as we're now in the middle but it's a little it's it's way too much when I get the buff yeah that buff for interacting with those chests so um
45:06.378 --> 45:06.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, it's good.
45:07.018 --> 45:08.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just AFKing it now.
45:08.579 --> 45:17.245
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I'm sure overgraded if I decide to go deep into maps, but like there's zero difference right now.
45:17.265 --> 45:18.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not playing similar styles.
45:18.365 --> 45:20.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Very tanky, very offensive.
45:20.487 --> 45:25.129
[SPEAKER_00]: And my second ascension gave me all the manner reservation that I need.
45:25.189 --> 45:30.613
[SPEAKER_00]: So now I've got it all and it's nice and my zombies are amazing.
45:30.773 --> 45:32.133
[SPEAKER_00]: And but it's just zombies and
45:34.795 --> 45:38.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have over 75 chaos res, which I haven't had forever.
45:38.096 --> 45:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel nice.
45:38.797 --> 45:50.161
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just with the tree and my chaos column, and then I think that actually puts me to like, what does the chaos column give?
45:50.321 --> 45:51.601
[SPEAKER_00]: 17% chaos res.
45:51.621 --> 45:54.662
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in minus 44 right now and it sucks chaos.
45:55.103 --> 45:55.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so yeah.
45:56.463 --> 46:21.338
[SPEAKER_00]: how do you get negative chaos doesn't go negative with everything else yeah yeah it does yeah it doesn't then the goal is to just get to see I think I have I think that means I have about 16% chaos resist right now and I that's probably from the tree and by accident yeah yeah but this nice it like it was nice just hanging out with melegaro and he does his little shots and I don't have to move because I have 41% at the time or whatever it is so
46:21.798 --> 46:45.884
[SPEAKER_00]: it's been fun like it's in it's enjoyable for what it is um like my opinions to path one haven't changed but sucking it up and playing it and just focusing on the stuff that I enjoy like I still strongly prefer path to but yeah did you do any of the underwater stuff or are you just of what I haven't totally ignoring the under what the last thing I want to do while going through the campaign is make the campaign longer so I'm not doing any underwater stuff.
46:46.264 --> 46:47.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I was the same way through the campaign.
46:49.345 --> 46:50.406
[SPEAKER_00]: the chest though.
46:50.426 --> 46:51.127
[SPEAKER_00]: They give you the buff.
46:51.507 --> 46:52.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they give you tons of rarers.
46:53.068 --> 47:01.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, they get, I would end all of them because there's two different types that you can click on upwards of chest and the rarers pop up and it's great because you're killing some rars.
47:01.815 --> 47:06.198
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing that bugs me is I'm like, why are you making me click it again?
47:06.878 --> 47:08.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I clicked the chest.
47:09.240 --> 47:09.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I killed the guys.
47:10.581 --> 47:11.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Chest should open.
47:11.322 --> 47:12.142
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the loot.
47:13.012 --> 47:14.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, they make me click it again.
47:14.873 --> 47:15.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.
47:15.293 --> 47:18.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm in a strong box has been around for a while.
47:18.735 --> 47:22.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's funny though.
47:22.798 --> 47:37.926
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like those little details that no matter how a game comes up, just makes you think rushed right those little details that are missed the things you're talking about with your build and progress and things syncing together between mechanics and they've already done this.
47:37.966 --> 47:38.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Why isn't this something?
47:38.687 --> 47:40.488
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, just those little things that make you
47:41.862 --> 47:48.367
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not like our opinion matters and they'll fix what they fix and that's fine, but it's just those little details that's like, you know, we've done this before.
47:48.407 --> 47:49.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't we include that.
47:50.468 --> 47:52.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to think like, am I.
47:53.592 --> 48:07.236
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what I would prefer, because I feel like I was eating my words a little bit from a past episode where I said that it was, I was looking forward to seeing how this went because maybe now they're showing that they can manage two games and things will be good.
48:07.276 --> 48:10.056
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if it was from the release or what it was when I made that comment.
48:10.777 --> 48:14.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not saying that they're not, because the fact is it's a really cool league.
48:14.258 --> 48:15.698
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got some really good old ideas.
48:15.718 --> 48:17.098
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done some really cool stuff with it.
48:17.558 --> 48:22.100
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe that Path of Exile 1 is just getting, I'm hoping, Path of Exile 1 just gets
48:23.340 --> 48:27.822
[SPEAKER_01]: test time, less whatever, because they can sort of have fun and mess with path 1 a little bit more.
48:27.842 --> 48:28.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
48:28.442 --> 48:36.806
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm hoping that that's, I'm hoping that that's not carrying over to Pui2, because I think the Pui2 started to go in a really good direction for loot.
48:37.206 --> 48:39.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, very, very much away from what PadavexL1 is.
48:40.168 --> 48:44.090
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if PadavexL1 continues to be what it is for loot, which I really don't like.
48:44.150 --> 48:47.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the moving in the direction of click a chest to get the good loot.
48:47.691 --> 48:48.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think that's silly.
48:48.772 --> 48:49.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I killed a bunch of rares.
48:49.752 --> 48:50.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the good loot from the rares.
48:51.433 --> 48:55.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Excel 1 or 2, sorry, doesn't seem as much like that.
48:55.255 --> 48:59.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Path of Excel 2 rewards me when I do a tougher fight.
48:59.597 --> 49:08.582
[SPEAKER_01]: When I fight a rare, I feel like I'm getting, and it's maybe because I'm starved more for gear and puey, too, which that's not a bad thing either.
49:09.642 --> 49:11.703
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I say starved for gear, though, hold on.
49:11.723 --> 49:12.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm comparing that to puey one.
49:12.844 --> 49:16.586
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that I'm just comparing it to what I've got in puey one.
49:17.823 --> 49:30.940
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they have a couple of cheats that they've done in Path 2, right, like clicking on a rare chest, you're guaranteed a rare item, clicking on a magic chest, guarantees a magic item, which in itself then hurts itself because now I'm only clicking on rare chests, right?
49:33.424 --> 49:41.695
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Path of Exile 2's biggest biggest benefit, like remember half the base types aren't even in the game yet.
49:42.056 --> 49:44.459
[SPEAKER_00]: So it still could be a massive priority.
49:44.479 --> 49:49.726
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of the biggest things that Path 2 is always going to have over Path 1 if it stays this way.
49:50.667 --> 50:03.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if more base types get added and they still ends up being too much is only the highest version of that item, the base type, all the best relevant version of it you're not going to have like in
50:07.168 --> 50:23.682
[SPEAKER_00]: class will be a good one, but I mean, this in Path of Exile, it's the same way for in Path of Exile one for everything, but like you're not going to have a lesser life-flast drop when large life-flast are available, which I think is an important one, but I don't think they've done it with these types or anything else.
50:23.722 --> 50:24.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, that's the
50:24.543 --> 50:31.207
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's, yes, so when us rattling scepter drops for my thing, I'm not going to get a level 10.
50:31.547 --> 50:31.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
50:31.987 --> 50:34.649
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting level 14 or whatever level I'm on.
50:34.669 --> 50:39.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're never going to get stuff that's too low for your character, it's always going to be at the level.
50:39.392 --> 50:45.336
[SPEAKER_00]: And that already, like if you wanted that, imagine what the loot would look like.
50:46.556 --> 50:48.918
[SPEAKER_01]: If the, it seems like an easy enough change.
50:49.578 --> 51:01.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the problem is with path one, they have the, um, what's the system, there's like that, that modifier that's always there for specific base type.
51:01.709 --> 51:02.309
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the close it?
51:02.870 --> 51:03.050
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
51:03.767 --> 51:04.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it not an implicit?
51:05.208 --> 51:05.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, maybe it is.
51:06.128 --> 51:08.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's where it's always on the the type.
51:08.429 --> 51:12.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Like an implicit is always this is always chirp on the item.
51:12.650 --> 51:15.311
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so yes, so then the implicit like gets better.
51:15.331 --> 51:16.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you have like a buckler.
51:16.852 --> 51:20.493
[SPEAKER_00]: It has 3% movement speed and then 6% movement speed and then 9% movement speed.
51:20.833 --> 51:47.039
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously over time you only want the 9% movement speed, you'll take the 3% as you're moving up to the 9% but once the 9% starts dropping you don't care about the 6% you don't care about the 3% you only care about the most relevant look at like an R con shield for example you want the 12% right all elemental resist you don't want the 8% or the 4% or whatever the increments are yeah so once so in path 2 once the 12% is available or once that 9%
51:50.160 --> 51:50.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
51:50.360 --> 51:51.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would that happen?
51:51.381 --> 51:52.002
[SPEAKER_00]: They do one.
51:52.442 --> 52:00.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, because in past one, you can get an item level 86 of your level 3 unit speed buckler.
52:00.389 --> 52:00.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
52:00.609 --> 52:10.658
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you have, there's a lot that's going to change in the background, but if you, like you basically have to remove those base types path 2 is made it so that they only have one rattling sector.
52:11.602 --> 52:11.822
[SPEAKER_00]: right.
52:12.002 --> 52:14.483
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have three different versions of a rattling sector.
52:14.523 --> 52:21.004
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just now you have one rattling sector and that item level is going to increase with every time.
52:21.404 --> 52:21.645
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
52:21.705 --> 52:23.905
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's always always going to be huge.
52:23.965 --> 52:24.925
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's with that.
52:24.965 --> 52:25.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
52:25.165 --> 52:27.826
[SPEAKER_00]: We shouldn't have gotten into loot again because that's always my thing.
52:27.866 --> 52:31.927
[SPEAKER_01]: But um, no, no, I brought up loot because I have struggled with loot in this league.
52:32.407 --> 52:32.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
52:33.027 --> 52:34.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's I guess it's frustrating.
52:34.908 --> 52:35.388
[SPEAKER_00]: It's
52:35.935 --> 52:39.057
[SPEAKER_01]: the difference between the games like, um, I think.
52:39.077 --> 52:41.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel we too is going in a good direction for loot.
52:41.958 --> 52:47.241
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Peelie won, uh, at least with this point one patch to me took a way left turn.
52:47.641 --> 52:52.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a bit annoyed by it because I'm just thinking what, I don't want to click a chest.
52:52.644 --> 52:53.624
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to click an item.
52:53.644 --> 52:56.285
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to click something on the ground to get the loot.
52:56.425 --> 52:58.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to kill that enemies for loot.
52:58.066 --> 53:01.268
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was the source of the loot, not the quality of the loot.
53:01.688 --> 53:04.571
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was the source of being in the head mat for me.
53:05.131 --> 53:28.931
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was the lack of a reward for doing an encounter it was my Fighting three or four massive rock dudes that are so tanky and take me for every kill and then magic on drugs crazy Yeah nothing drops and then I go and I click a friggin a biz chest after this point one and I get like eight currencies
53:29.899 --> 53:37.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just- the chest are cool, like make them give me something else, but that shouldn't be where my stuff comes from.
53:37.967 --> 53:40.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think that chest should be where my stuff comes from.
53:40.790 --> 53:49.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I just- I'm playing the underground stuff searching for things to click because those things to click are what reward me the most stuff.
53:50.749 --> 54:08.717
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how that's how it works and I don't know that that's a good thing like I'm I feel like I'm a bit incentivized You just move faster through the mobs to the things that I can click on the ground Because that will reward me the most and I just I'm not if I'm not a huge fan of that direction And I don't think Pweets who's like that at all.
54:08.737 --> 54:18.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they've done a very good job of Making me feel rewarded for doing the fight so well and When you're using a mercenary who tickles
54:19.666 --> 54:25.693
[SPEAKER_01]: and you have to sit there for like two minutes trying to survive will they kill a rare and then they get a reward for it.
54:25.753 --> 54:33.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like what did I stick it but then I move like five feet to the right and I click on a chest and a pair of boots draw.
54:33.762 --> 54:37.346
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, no, that's not I just I don't know.
54:37.366 --> 54:39.368
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I struggled a bit with it because
54:40.468 --> 54:43.391
[SPEAKER_01]: I can shield charge through a level real fast.
54:44.372 --> 54:44.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
54:45.093 --> 54:46.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what I'm supposed to do?
54:46.154 --> 54:56.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Just not kill stuff and just go around, run, running, clicking all the chests, and then I hopefully will pick up my loot, and then even more so than that because I'm gearing two freaking characters, I'll go to trade.
54:57.646 --> 55:10.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's really tough, so we'll path one a long time ago, started really moving away from loot drops, ground drops, which is too bad because it's dropped.
55:10.389 --> 55:23.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, especially when you start out in the Genesis tree to things and you start like it's all about like earning it through other means, right, all the different crafting and nothing wrong with crafting and that's where you get your great items, but they've always had a problem.
55:24.192 --> 55:30.559
[SPEAKER_01]: having valuable ground loop and crafting is for me always the way I look at crafting is let me use it to
55:32.700 --> 55:53.209
[SPEAKER_01]: improve the gear that has already dropped for me like I you know what I mean I don't want a perfect I don't expect a perfect item to drop an item that drops and I never have to use any currency or anything on it or a crafting mechanic that's not my expectation especially now with this new crafting system this all flame crafting awesome I get a four or five
55:58.411 --> 56:02.154
[SPEAKER_01]: four for shots to see if I get a better item now that I throw this result on it.
56:02.174 --> 56:05.216
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's fun to find it, you know, to finish off my item.
56:05.757 --> 56:07.158
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not finding that stuff.
56:07.963 --> 56:10.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that stuff isn't coming from the things that I'm doing.
56:10.805 --> 56:14.749
[SPEAKER_01]: And so now I'm just running around trying to click on loot, or sorry, click on chess.
56:14.769 --> 56:21.094
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think Peery too, it made me more excited to play the Peery too league when it comes out later.
56:22.675 --> 56:27.860
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, I'm telling myself the Peery one has, less time to test, less time to do that stuff.
56:27.960 --> 56:31.683
[SPEAKER_01]: It's more of a testing ground for them and they can try new things.
56:31.723 --> 56:33.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hopeful that that's what they're doing.
56:34.565 --> 56:36.467
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was a tough one for me on this one.
56:37.278 --> 56:38.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, yep.
56:38.639 --> 56:42.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sorry to hear that because I know you get really excited for path 1.
56:42.181 --> 56:43.381
[SPEAKER_00]: So power, buddy.
56:43.961 --> 56:45.002
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's true.
56:45.022 --> 56:45.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
56:45.422 --> 56:52.786
[SPEAKER_00]: But we, uh, I'm curious where path 1 like we talked about this will be good to go where path 1 goes from here because in six months.
56:53.406 --> 56:53.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
56:54.527 --> 56:58.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Is when path 2 is expected to come out right like after November December there.
56:58.209 --> 56:59.549
[SPEAKER_00]: They really want to do a 20 to 26 release.
57:00.930 --> 57:06.819
[SPEAKER_00]: They said they're not foreign to do any more lead launches for path 2 until point 1 or until 1.0 and so
57:11.260 --> 57:13.041
[SPEAKER_00]: is this the last lead for path one?
57:13.842 --> 57:14.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
57:15.202 --> 57:16.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they just keep updating this?
57:16.463 --> 57:18.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Or do they come out with another one and two?
57:18.284 --> 57:19.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on tolber, maybe?
57:19.585 --> 57:20.305
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fast.
57:20.846 --> 57:22.267
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're trying to rush or not.
57:22.327 --> 57:22.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, rush.
57:22.987 --> 57:31.052
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're trying to push a deadline to get one point out by the end of the year, I don't think they have the manpower to also do another league.
57:31.732 --> 57:40.559
[SPEAKER_00]: and to come out with the point, the one point or that they are hoping to point up, come out with in December.
57:40.639 --> 57:48.125
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to see, because if all their manpower is now getting shifted to path 2,
57:48.625 --> 58:00.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, they're not going to ignore things that need to get fixed or balanced in path 1, but in terms of manpower and focused, development changes that need to be made for path 1.0.
58:02.817 --> 58:09.102
[SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting to see when the changes come for path 2 and what changes come to path 1.
58:10.062 --> 58:10.623
[SPEAKER_00]: In the meantime.
58:11.975 --> 58:14.478
[SPEAKER_00]: because it's funny like you bring up testing ground.
58:14.538 --> 58:20.985
[SPEAKER_00]: People path one, hopefully maybe being a path, testing ground for path two feels like it's just been equal on both sides.
58:21.005 --> 58:26.151
[SPEAKER_00]: They like something in path one moves in path two, but if they like something in path two, boom it's in path one.
58:26.532 --> 58:28.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't mind that.
58:28.354 --> 58:28.895
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind that.
58:29.455 --> 58:35.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, especially when you're talking quality of life stuff, what I wouldn't want is they're like, I really like this ascendance, so let's just move it over.
58:36.262 --> 58:39.726
[SPEAKER_01]: But the quality of life stuff, absolutely, I think is awesome.
58:40.307 --> 58:46.113
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been lots in my, just play experience that I've really been missing in from like that I love about path to.
58:46.973 --> 59:02.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, just little things like the checkpoint systems or the dodge roll system, explanations and definitions, like, you know, like it's just, there's, I'm, I'm, I'm excited to get in the path too, but I'm going to give this character shot, I'm enjoying having the zombies back, right?
59:02.119 --> 59:10.422
[SPEAKER_01]: I am curious how you feel like it in maps, like I want to know if that, whatever, the thing that's funny is we talked about that one thing where they effectively like five minions with this,
59:11.202 --> 59:11.542
[SPEAKER_01]: change.
59:11.762 --> 59:14.303
[SPEAKER_01]: But that wasn't like a patch note change.
59:14.343 --> 59:15.483
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't like a big thing.
59:15.523 --> 59:19.204
[SPEAKER_01]: That literally was just like a post, a little post about like oh yeah, we've changed this.
59:19.684 --> 59:21.504
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm curious if it's noticeable.
59:21.765 --> 59:27.386
[SPEAKER_00]: I am too like it's tough because it's coming with this change with sockets as well.
59:27.646 --> 59:31.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, so far I haven't cared about the league, but I never care about the league, it's not a criticism to it.
59:31.387 --> 59:32.087
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just I want to
59:32.727 --> 59:37.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Finish campaign and then I want a map and if your league takes me out of my mapping experience.
59:37.290 --> 59:43.193
[SPEAKER_00]: Well Maybe it goes core maybe it doesn't Mercenaries I've been clicking on them because you know, you know me.
59:43.233 --> 01:00:00.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I like fighting enemies in the map and so It took me a few interactions to figure out how to actually fight a mercenary Because there's nothing in there Like the tells you well I haven't liked anything that they have equipped
01:00:01.442 --> 01:00:07.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I just take their items and take their, like, little red or the, but yeah, I don't care about it transmute or two alterations.
01:00:07.764 --> 01:00:08.544
[SPEAKER_00]: I have plenty of those.
01:00:08.564 --> 01:00:08.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
01:00:09.164 --> 01:00:12.405
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking and I'm like, there's nothing that says fight.
01:00:12.926 --> 01:00:13.626
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through.
01:00:13.686 --> 01:00:14.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hovering.
01:00:14.166 --> 01:00:15.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing all this stuff already.
01:00:15.506 --> 01:00:17.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's higher or take it's fight.
01:00:17.667 --> 01:00:19.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, but they don't have anything I like.
01:00:19.348 --> 01:00:20.088
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to hire them.
01:00:20.987 --> 01:00:22.007
[SPEAKER_00]: They're on their way to move.
01:00:22.688 --> 01:00:23.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not?
01:00:23.088 --> 01:00:23.988
[SPEAKER_01]: What would be the damage?
01:00:24.388 --> 01:00:25.868
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.
01:00:26.049 --> 01:00:27.169
[SPEAKER_00]: They look stupid.
01:00:27.209 --> 01:00:29.630
[SPEAKER_00]: They have crappy items and I don't like their gear.
01:00:29.690 --> 01:00:30.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
01:00:30.270 --> 01:00:31.210
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm strong enough.
01:00:31.630 --> 01:00:33.871
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to spend gold on that.
01:00:33.891 --> 01:00:34.571
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
01:00:34.631 --> 01:00:36.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't see the higher button.
01:00:36.612 --> 01:00:40.493
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hit the higher button and then there's not a fight for the sake of fighting button.
01:00:40.933 --> 01:00:42.533
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first few, I just totally ignored.
01:00:42.854 --> 01:00:47.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm apparently you have to take a night and then you meet like, oh, higher.
01:00:47.175 --> 01:00:48.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Or take item either of those.
01:00:48.515 --> 01:00:50.076
[SPEAKER_00]: But there wasn't a higher button.
01:00:51.696 --> 01:00:51.956
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
01:00:52.036 --> 01:01:06.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was looking and sure eventually I found where the higher button was but if I didn't like if I was bottom left This is like invite or recruit or something and then it would but there was a type of an interaction thing for them I was trying to get them to fight them and hire them.
01:01:07.042 --> 01:01:08.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to take one of the items
01:01:10.068 --> 01:01:10.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.
01:01:10.468 --> 01:01:11.909
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's the same thing.
01:01:11.949 --> 01:01:17.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I beat them then it drops and then they're with me for Like a couple zones.
01:01:17.310 --> 01:01:28.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, for three instances I wanted to get rid of half of them and I couldn't figure out how to dismiss them Yeah, you have to go back to your hideout to do it in the top right corner when you're hiring them though.
01:01:28.673 --> 01:01:30.273
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a checkmark box that says
01:01:32.482 --> 01:01:34.523
[SPEAKER_01]: always recruit or just recruit.
01:01:35.303 --> 01:01:36.944
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to know what that button does.
01:01:37.264 --> 01:01:38.525
[SPEAKER_01]: I tick it on, tick it off.
01:01:38.585 --> 01:01:39.345
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes no difference.
01:01:39.385 --> 01:01:40.746
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't figure it out.
01:01:41.266 --> 01:01:44.148
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't tell you anything when you mouse over top of it.
01:01:44.288 --> 01:01:45.928
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if I'm supposed to use it or not.
01:01:46.689 --> 01:01:53.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I spent a few interactions looking at the HUD and the legend and all that controller sport wasn't.
01:01:54.353 --> 01:02:12.167
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I just now I like look I'm like oh what I don't even look at their items unless it's like fully linked I just take whatever transmute they have fight them sometimes they're gear is better as you're progressing You'll find better gear than that drops So you can take like boots if they happen to have a base like that you want
01:02:12.907 --> 01:02:19.894
[SPEAKER_00]: All my years coming from all the chests that the, um, the league is adding, the league for it.
01:02:19.914 --> 01:02:23.717
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, honestly, that's all I'm doing though, and I'm not going out of my way for them.
01:02:23.737 --> 01:02:25.979
[SPEAKER_00]: If I see them on the mini map, I'm not writing to them.
01:02:26.119 --> 01:02:27.340
[SPEAKER_00]: It's only if they're within like,
01:02:28.001 --> 01:02:28.821
[SPEAKER_00]: my clear screen.
01:02:29.402 --> 01:02:31.883
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm five or six levels over above.
01:02:31.923 --> 01:02:32.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:02:32.503 --> 01:02:35.464
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not going into the league mechanic underwater.
01:02:36.264 --> 01:02:39.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm only fighting mercenaries within my reach.
01:02:40.706 --> 01:02:44.728
[SPEAKER_00]: And like all the XP, the bonus XP that I'm getting.
01:02:45.088 --> 01:02:45.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,
01:02:46.622 --> 01:02:47.002
[SPEAKER_00]: moving.
01:02:47.142 --> 01:02:49.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not stopping for enemies unless it's a rare enemy.
01:02:49.624 --> 01:02:50.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm walking through everybody.
01:02:51.004 --> 01:02:52.505
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm skipping a lot of enemies too.
01:02:52.865 --> 01:02:56.127
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm five or six levels over and all I'm doing is fighting who's around the chest.
01:02:56.547 --> 01:02:56.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:02:56.707 --> 01:02:59.408
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wonder where we'd be like if I didn't.
01:02:59.488 --> 01:02:59.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:03:00.008 --> 01:03:02.570
[SPEAKER_01]: You're way over level to do the league mechanic.
01:03:02.590 --> 01:03:02.750
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:03:03.331 --> 01:03:24.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm curious if my builds even good now because right we're talking about zombie changes and then we're talking about how powerful I am with all the white sockets and then it's like, well, maybe it's just because I'm overleveled in not a bit matters right it's all good so I'm going to keep playing it as long as you're playing it all play it and see what's up and then when you moved path to I'll move to path to and everybody's happy.
01:03:24.883 --> 01:03:27.144
[SPEAKER_01]: Patu for me, a move will be at the end of the year.
01:03:27.384 --> 01:03:35.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when they come out with 1.0, I can't say myself go, and I will say that the last League of Path of Exile 2 was my favorite.
01:03:35.589 --> 01:03:39.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I played like five characters to end game.
01:03:39.230 --> 01:03:44.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I had so many, this last Path of Exile 2 League was just so good.
01:03:44.373 --> 01:03:46.754
[SPEAKER_01]: 0.5, awesome, loved it.
01:03:47.134 --> 01:03:50.816
[SPEAKER_01]: That is what my normal lifespan is for Path of Exile game when it's good.
01:03:52.491 --> 01:03:53.612
[SPEAKER_01]: a number of characters in.
01:03:53.753 --> 01:04:01.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew with this league with Path of XO1 that was unlikely I would play two characters besides our private league because there were two new other games I was playing Kingdom Come.
01:04:02.042 --> 01:04:05.706
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew I wanted to get into Powerworld like there's just other games I want to play.
01:04:05.827 --> 01:04:07.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of XO1 isn't going to be the
01:04:09.329 --> 01:04:21.679
[SPEAKER_01]: the the driving behind my video game play and I wish I hadn't been on Saturday because I guess when I switched the power world at nine o'clock I was like, oh, I could feel my shoulders be like, okay, this is a video game's feel.
01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:23.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Exile 1 was not doing it.
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:24.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I did like it after 0.1.
01:04:24.721 --> 01:04:26.322
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to still try it this week.
01:04:26.763 --> 01:04:28.925
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping I'm going to be able to improve my character.
01:04:30.145 --> 01:04:41.988
[SPEAKER_01]: But especially because the things that I would wish for are not coming, so I'm not going to get the things that I want, like I'm not going to get something that tells me in game when I put this bow on if the damage has been increased or decreased.
01:04:42.108 --> 01:04:43.069
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that's not going to come.
01:04:43.109 --> 01:04:43.969
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just not their thing.
01:04:46.089 --> 01:04:50.171
[SPEAKER_01]: But I also picked it, so I'm kind of like, well, this is what they're giving you.
01:04:51.051 --> 01:04:52.291
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny with the AG.
01:04:52.311 --> 01:04:54.832
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about the change for the AG and how it finally came after years.
01:04:56.272 --> 01:04:57.873
[SPEAKER_01]: It came, but it's like
01:04:59.988 --> 01:05:05.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Your amount of information is pretty funny because it's not any information at all, except the box that shows you what's currently equipped.
01:05:06.013 --> 01:05:06.333
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
01:05:07.074 --> 01:05:07.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I get it?
01:05:07.534 --> 01:05:10.717
[SPEAKER_01]: But you can at least hover your items and see what they are, right?
01:05:10.897 --> 01:05:14.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, because you can interact with it in the sense of like swapping the items out.
01:05:14.380 --> 01:05:15.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you can get that.
01:05:15.681 --> 01:05:17.443
[SPEAKER_01]: So you get a box that shows you your items.
01:05:17.903 --> 01:05:18.804
[SPEAKER_01]: You can move them in and out.
01:05:20.245 --> 01:05:23.008
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're not getting any other information about the AG, like that's it.
01:05:24.687 --> 01:05:32.033
[SPEAKER_01]: So I appreciate it, it's really good, but it's not a whole lot of helpful information besides swapping out or understanding what you currently have on them.
01:05:32.473 --> 01:05:35.155
[SPEAKER_01]: But the mercenaries, I feel like I need more information.
01:05:35.936 --> 01:05:44.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to get it, so I just have to figure out what I don't want to do is follow, you know, do what everybody does because they say to do it.
01:05:44.643 --> 01:05:46.625
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
01:05:47.488 --> 01:06:06.639
[SPEAKER_01]: and I'm just struggling with that because when my character I can figure out stuff myself but when you talk about hidden stats and information that's not provided to you upfront it's very difficult to try and make an informed decision and go like okay this is why I'm making this change and I can see that it improves their damage versus while I read this online and somebody said put this thing on them.
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:07.520
[SPEAKER_01]: So
01:06:08.511 --> 01:06:10.131
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I will be continuing to play.
01:06:10.191 --> 01:06:13.212
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm into, like, tier 10s right now.
01:06:13.252 --> 01:06:15.973
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just about to start working towards tier 10s.
01:06:16.013 --> 01:06:25.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to just get to the bottom left corner so I can get my stupid altars going, but, and some stones, but it's right.
01:06:25.215 --> 01:06:27.215
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a certain order you're supposed to go in.
01:06:28.176 --> 01:06:29.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to Google that.
01:06:29.436 --> 01:06:33.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, I asked online in 2021, and you can go wherever you want.
01:06:33.217 --> 01:06:34.337
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to know where the,
01:06:35.332 --> 01:06:46.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the loo and whatever things are apparently there is you can go in any direction you want I just don't want to make a heart I remember doing that the first time that being said I mean if there's a real real real common sense way to do it.
01:06:46.078 --> 01:06:48.540
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the way you're supposed to do it You know what I mean?
01:06:49.200 --> 01:06:52.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know what the common sense way is because it doesn't tell me
01:06:54.703 --> 01:06:56.065
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm 2021 does.
01:06:56.545 --> 01:06:58.648
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, thankfully, we have it.
01:06:58.688 --> 01:06:59.529
[SPEAKER_01]: 2021 is awesome.
01:06:59.569 --> 01:07:01.191
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a cross-peally one MPOE 2.
01:07:01.251 --> 01:07:02.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it so much.
01:07:02.653 --> 01:07:07.599
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're looking for just chill people to hang out with, it's a really good global chat to hang out in.
01:07:08.660 --> 01:07:11.143
[SPEAKER_01]: But they have been helpful for me, figuring some of the stuff out.
01:07:11.762 --> 01:07:28.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Just as a heads up though for listeners, whether you're joining any of our guilds or wanting to join those global chats, path 2 is crossplow for path 1 is not so if you're on console, you're not going to be, I mean, discord's a different thing, but if you're on PC, you're not going to talk with console or vice versa for.
01:07:28.669 --> 01:07:28.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:28.829 --> 01:07:29.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:29.129 --> 01:07:29.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:29.429 --> 01:07:31.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And same with the guild, they're not cross compatible.
01:07:32.610 --> 01:07:32.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
01:07:33.150 --> 01:07:34.591
[SPEAKER_01]: Peary 2 is much better for that.
01:07:35.891 --> 01:07:38.572
[SPEAKER_01]: I can only speak for PC versions of Peary 1, 2021.
01:07:38.592 --> 01:07:38.652
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
01:07:40.628 --> 01:07:42.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm still gonna play it.
01:07:42.812 --> 01:07:46.457
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't say I'm excited to play it, like I can't say that I'm, you know.
01:07:47.497 --> 01:07:48.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:07:48.198 --> 01:07:49.219
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not overly excited.
01:07:49.359 --> 01:07:52.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to be able to step into it and feel like I'm getting an improvement.
01:07:52.502 --> 01:07:55.965
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't give point one a huge amount of time because I didn't have a whole lot of time last night.
01:07:56.125 --> 01:07:58.968
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we obviously recorded a recording today.
01:07:59.008 --> 01:08:00.470
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will probably play more of it.
01:08:01.291 --> 01:08:04.694
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know when because I'm like, I'm going to be just me with the girls.
01:08:04.734 --> 01:08:05.515
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be hanging out.
01:08:05.535 --> 01:08:06.496
[SPEAKER_01]: So I probably won't play a ton.
01:08:06.536 --> 01:08:08.698
[SPEAKER_01]: But I am curious to see how it goes.
01:08:08.718 --> 01:08:10.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to see if there's ways to improvement.
01:08:11.941 --> 01:08:14.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm I'm really struggling with this one.
01:08:14.766 --> 01:08:16.108
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I it's weird to me.
01:08:16.128 --> 01:08:23.520
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I said it already a couple times, but I just it's throwing me off that my Alice strategies completely different to start a league.
01:08:26.659 --> 01:08:29.242
[SPEAKER_01]: all in the hopes of improving the thing that is my build.
01:08:29.562 --> 01:08:34.927
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like I'm chasing an item that I, you know, I really need this unique to drop them.
01:08:35.047 --> 01:08:40.693
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I could just go and pick it up on trade, which apparently you can buy warrants for,
01:08:43.815 --> 01:08:59.346
[SPEAKER_01]: mercenaries on the trade site like you can actually buy I guess that I guess you can Sorry when you're fighting I think it doesn't have until Matt maps you get a rematch button that shows up at the bottom of the Yeah, I think you're actually right.
01:08:59.386 --> 01:09:01.327
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's actually take item
01:09:03.183 --> 01:09:06.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Rematch and a camera was I think that's all it is.
01:09:06.724 --> 01:09:10.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I can't remember what the bottom right one is, but do you get a vision like any item?
01:09:10.505 --> 01:09:11.705
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like I'm not taking anything.
01:09:11.725 --> 01:09:13.165
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care for anything.
01:09:13.225 --> 01:09:14.165
[SPEAKER_00]: I just have this.
01:09:14.185 --> 01:09:15.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can't find it.
01:09:15.446 --> 01:09:17.506
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to take some crappy magic item.
01:09:17.886 --> 01:09:25.868
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you get this rematch option where eventually I guess you get a warrant and then you can sell the warrant, but the idea I had this is just
01:09:27.176 --> 01:09:30.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not trying to be just a bitch about it because I know it's really good and people can use it.
01:09:30.717 --> 01:09:45.062
[SPEAKER_01]: But the idea of me going on to the trade site to put in the skills and the supports that I'm hoping to get or the skills that I'm hoping to have my mercenary have and then get the warrant for them and then go and fight them.
01:09:45.162 --> 01:09:46.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I find that so bizarre.
01:09:46.563 --> 01:09:46.843
[SPEAKER_01]: I just.
01:09:48.258 --> 01:09:50.520
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just I don't want to do it that way and I love trade.
01:09:50.540 --> 01:10:06.071
[SPEAKER_01]: I go there all the time to find my gear But for some reason to find the mercenary the thing that is my build to do it that way is nuts to me because Somebody said that at some of his joking that our next privately should just be all luminaries that would be awful
01:10:07.265 --> 01:10:27.722
[SPEAKER_01]: because they're it's so aren't you gated it's so it's not the same as like oh it's gonna take you a minute to get a weapon like you know we've all played a tack based games or a tack based skills where you're only as good as the weapon that's dropped for you last um sure but I it's just weird to me when you're mercenary it's not even like
01:10:29.373 --> 01:10:37.940
[SPEAKER_01]: It's odd, it's odd to me that I have gone through so many tests of trying so many mercenaries and only like two or three have felt like they can do any damage.
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:39.041
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so.
01:10:39.441 --> 01:10:43.824
[SPEAKER_00]: They're more of an attack weapon than they are skill gem.
01:10:44.865 --> 01:10:46.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and then they don't level with you.
01:10:46.527 --> 01:10:47.147
[SPEAKER_01]: So exactly.
01:10:47.167 --> 01:10:48.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's that's yeah.
01:10:48.268 --> 01:10:49.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, all of it.
01:10:49.509 --> 01:11:00.698
[SPEAKER_00]: They act in a way, but People are using them as their skill gym Because especially because it is like like right that is a it's an odd It's not combo.
01:11:00.858 --> 01:11:01.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:11:01.618 --> 01:11:04.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the idea behind what the ascendancy is.
01:11:04.741 --> 01:11:13.267
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's cool And I think that even as point one is where it's at that I don't think that this is the final version of what the luminary looks like because
01:11:14.308 --> 01:11:35.179
[SPEAKER_01]: it's still the case where if my if my luminary dies that's it for the map um i can't even test luminaries in the same map which is nuts because you can't swap out you can't swap out mercenaries um as soon as you have one in you load the map that's the only one that will work inside that map and so i don't like that like i don't understand it i don't
01:11:39.261 --> 01:11:47.765
[SPEAKER_01]: but I'm hopeful that this is just the start stepping point for where the luminary ends up, because I am not a big fan yet.
01:11:49.386 --> 01:11:51.227
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, but I'm not gonna play another character.
01:11:51.247 --> 01:11:54.409
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a lot of people are talking in 2021 that were like, oh yeah, I switched to this.
01:11:54.449 --> 01:11:57.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna play this till they fix I was like, yeah, I got power, I'll go play something else.
01:11:57.811 --> 01:11:59.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna let one other character.
01:12:00.982 --> 01:12:06.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be leveling another character just being pissed off that my first character didn't work, so it would just make me not happy no matter what.
01:12:07.991 --> 01:12:10.895
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, that's it.
01:12:12.187 --> 01:12:12.707

00:57.756 --> 00:58.016
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it?
00:58.237 --> 00:58.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
00:58.637 --> 01:06.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't tell if it's from watching your feeling because you know, it's like my dog has grown, you know, a ton, but it doesn't look like the me the dog.
01:06.584 --> 01:14.872
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how the dog can't, you know, daily you don't see the increments and so to me, I can't tell if it's splotchy because I see it every day or if it is growing in.
01:15.313 --> 01:18.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope, but fill it out now, but it is really watery.
01:18.856 --> 01:24.298
[SPEAKER_00]: So if I want to control it, I mean, they're like poofing it out to, you know, like a fro, right?
01:24.358 --> 01:28.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, you just, you just accept what it is and let it go.
01:28.520 --> 01:28.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
01:28.940 --> 01:32.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Or, um, I gotta get into, I think I gotta get into beeswax.
01:32.241 --> 01:34.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were already doing the bomb and trying to bomb.
01:34.962 --> 01:36.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it doesn't, it doesn't.
01:36.303 --> 01:37.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I do wax myself.
01:37.943 --> 01:41.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I prefer it, but, um, oil too is a big deal.
01:41.165 --> 01:42.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Here you get some beard oil.
01:43.005 --> 01:45.026
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll get less the wire-efeeling.
01:48.840 --> 01:49.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, good, good.
01:50.042 --> 01:50.522
[SPEAKER_00]: It's summer.

[SPEAKER_00]: The kids are busy with their play date.
01:53.165 --> 01:53.446
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
01:53.746 --> 01:54.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Just read your hat.
01:57.026 --> 01:59.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Catch it up on your face and your bureau fit.
01:59.747 --> 02:01.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Trucker hats for driving trucks.
02:01.628 --> 02:01.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
02:01.908 --> 02:03.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't have a truck though.
02:03.168 --> 02:03.929
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so working on it.
02:04.029 --> 02:04.989
[SPEAKER_00]: I got the hats now.
02:05.009 --> 02:06.089
[SPEAKER_00]: I need the truck.
02:06.149 --> 02:10.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sensing that order You can like it's not interesting.
02:10.211 --> 02:12.052
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the kids have their play day.
02:12.072 --> 02:16.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's fun seeing them Interact and play with their their kids.
02:16.613 --> 02:17.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate having the play dates here.
02:17.834 --> 02:22.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I like it because then I can see what they're doing But I hate it because I'm like I wouldn't be I don't know
02:24.196 --> 02:35.386
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember what it was like when we were kids and how often our parents enforced their rules on your never in the house as though we were almost always out in a boat.
02:36.167 --> 02:42.053
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I like ever members sleepovers and you know there's your house and there's Tyson's house and there's my house and
02:43.340 --> 02:44.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my dad would enforce rules.
02:44.661 --> 02:46.823
[SPEAKER_01]: He came down almost half as naked, most of the time to yell at us very quiet.
02:46.843 --> 03:02.954
[SPEAKER_00]: 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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
03:04.369 --> 03:13.475
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always torn at like Which rules to enforce or not like do I like my kids enforce the own rules or should I be stomping downstairs What are you guys doing don't do this?
03:13.535 --> 03:14.415
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you looking stupid?
03:14.495 --> 03:22.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, you know Because that's obviously not apparent and So anyway, but it's not the only room in forces.
03:22.100 --> 03:31.666
[SPEAKER_01]: They can't we our kids don't have their own cell phones not yet at least at least the girls the boys do obviously But we just don't let them take phones upstairs So if you have a friend over that because of age
03:33.123 --> 03:34.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the cell phones.
03:35.184 --> 03:37.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you said the boys have cell phones.
03:37.224 --> 03:38.145
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
03:38.265 --> 03:39.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Not because of the second stage.
03:40.285 --> 03:40.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
03:40.785 --> 03:43.966
[SPEAKER_01]: It's because they are, well, one is 24, 25.
03:43.986 --> 03:45.107
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't control his phone.
03:45.467 --> 03:46.067
[SPEAKER_01]: But 16.
03:46.087 --> 03:46.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, as well.
03:46.967 --> 03:48.948
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have a shared one for our girls to use.
03:49.088 --> 03:52.029
[SPEAKER_01]: But um, our only rule that we really enforce is they're not.
03:52.349 --> 03:53.689
[SPEAKER_01]: Their friends can't take phones upstairs.
03:53.929 --> 03:58.331
[SPEAKER_01]: Which has been awkward sometimes because I'm like, nah, go put that in the kitchen, leave it on the counter.
03:58.371 --> 03:59.191
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to run upstairs,
03:59.851 --> 04:00.572
[SPEAKER_01]: No one deserves.
04:00.952 --> 04:02.954
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't need a message your mom would do it from the kitchen.
04:03.114 --> 04:03.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
04:04.576 --> 04:04.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
04:04.896 --> 04:10.062
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been fun watching my always enjoy seeing what they're like when they forget that there's parents around, right?
04:10.102 --> 04:21.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when you get to see the, you know, you drop kids off at school back in the day and you get to see how slightly different they are when they're around their friend and the different ways they talk and strut and all that kind of stuff.
04:21.153 --> 04:22.475
[SPEAKER_00]: So the things they laugh about.
04:23.055 --> 04:28.640
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's been fun, um, I was doing lots of summer stuff, man, lots and lots of summer stuff.
04:28.720 --> 04:33.884
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good, good, just eating like swimming and hiking and biking and boarding and all that kind of stuff.
04:34.925 --> 04:36.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really having a good summer so far.
04:36.526 --> 04:38.468
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been nice and we're going camping next week.
04:38.868 --> 04:48.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And my wife is normally, well, always is a stickler for what we eat and camping, uh, yes, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes.
04:50.277 --> 05:00.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Her family is used to something a little bit more extravagant taking the time and the energy to bring a whole bunch of stuff So you can have like extravagant like crazy silverware.
05:00.744 --> 05:06.928
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah more like meals were as for me when we would camp I was used to just like eating dry noodles.
05:07.188 --> 05:16.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the entire time obviously not putting that on the kids, but You know like the kids have no problem with hot dogs every night.
05:16.673 --> 05:17.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, right?
05:19.565 --> 05:22.666
[SPEAKER_00]: But you got to have some, Aaron's got a tough time with that.
05:22.706 --> 05:25.908
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, I'm not having hot dogs every meal, but well, it's not every meal.
05:26.088 --> 05:35.032
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, the kids and I came up with the plan to accommodate, you know, some variety for Aaron, but then also stuff that they're actually going to get excited about.
05:35.492 --> 05:39.313
[SPEAKER_00]: But one thing for me, she's doing like back in camping.
05:39.333 --> 05:42.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we're talking like, yeah, we're just, yeah, we're not doing anything.
05:42.095 --> 05:44.496
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we used to where we have to hike for a few hours.
05:44.656 --> 05:45.236
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't blame you.
05:46.016 --> 05:59.148
[SPEAKER_00]: One day, I would have been able to say maybe, but my health can't do that anymore, either, so though I'm sure my wife would love to just leave me up there and Kids back can be like, fine, you're right.
05:59.609 --> 06:00.289
[SPEAKER_00]: You'd like it back.
06:00.309 --> 06:01.170
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a trucker hat.
06:01.250 --> 06:02.611
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, things, right?
06:02.791 --> 06:04.693
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, I get picked up for free.
06:04.913 --> 06:05.574
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really your height.
06:05.594 --> 06:06.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm fine, I can.
06:09.038 --> 06:28.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so we're just we're just going we're back and in, but I'm also not a big fan of like needing refrigerated stuff when we're gone, you know what I mean, like needing a multiple coolers or really big cooler, I like doing it with none or as a little as possible, so things like I'll bring something like almond milk instead of like, why does that not just take out milk?
06:28.973 --> 06:35.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it like you can buy them in like one leader can cartons, but then you don't have to refrigerate them till they're opened.
06:36.258 --> 06:42.543
[SPEAKER_00]: So you use them for whatever serial or pancakes or whatever you want to use and then middle last year ink for the rest of the day.
06:42.583 --> 06:44.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're only going for two full days.
06:44.665 --> 06:57.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be three I guess in total and uh so just bring like four of those and you know then I don't need stuff for that so trying to try to go with a smaller cooler and uh because the kids need their hot dogs.
06:57.635 --> 07:00.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and fun anyway
07:01.158 --> 07:02.239
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
07:02.359 --> 07:05.782
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll be seeing her parents in a couple of weeks.
07:06.062 --> 07:07.023
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going camping.
07:07.103 --> 07:09.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we come here with them or you're just camping.
07:09.665 --> 07:10.966
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just just okay.
07:11.026 --> 07:11.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:11.886 --> 07:12.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:12.307 --> 07:14.668
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's we wanted to do some stuff just just us.
07:14.708 --> 07:28.319
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to her parents place to surprise her mother for 70th birthday and then two weeks later we're going camping and then two weeks later we're going back to their house for the actual scheduled visit that we would normally do for
07:30.120 --> 07:30.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
07:30.500 --> 07:31.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't want to overdo it.
07:32.141 --> 07:32.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Fun.
07:32.761 --> 07:33.762
[SPEAKER_00]: They would probably love it.
07:33.842 --> 07:35.462
[SPEAKER_01]: But I spend.
07:35.942 --> 07:37.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that's that's been us.
07:37.403 --> 07:37.883
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been good.
07:37.923 --> 07:38.684
[SPEAKER_00]: We're looking forward to it.
07:38.704 --> 07:39.424
[SPEAKER_00]: It's already August.
07:39.444 --> 07:41.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, today's the last day of July.
07:41.405 --> 07:45.827
[SPEAKER_00]: So all of a sudden we're halfway through summer and blink, blink, and it's gone.
07:45.987 --> 07:48.268
[SPEAKER_00]: I got the kids to fill out a checklist at the beginning of summer.
07:48.308 --> 07:49.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Things they wanted to do.
07:49.768 --> 07:53.950
[SPEAKER_00]: So things like play land or water park,
07:54.090 --> 07:55.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, like so we got them to do that.
07:55.771 --> 08:03.175
[SPEAKER_00]: And so at the beginning of summer, I went through and schedule everything purchased all the tickets and just all that kind of stuff.
08:03.195 --> 08:04.116
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's being good.
08:04.636 --> 08:06.257

[SPEAKER_01]: No, much.
11:15.419 --> 11:18.500
[SPEAKER_00]: They came out with their mystery box, and then there was a buttload of patches.
11:18.520 --> 11:23.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they had that one patch for path to that they were all happy about fixing some of the...
11:24.082 --> 11:26.083
[SPEAKER_00]: The boy haven't said shoes that they were struggling with.
11:26.523 --> 11:27.804
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that.
11:27.824 --> 11:29.965
[SPEAKER_00]: Playing on console, I wasn't aware of the issues.
11:30.085 --> 11:33.006
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was a seven minute video for them, so they were stoked.
11:33.626 --> 11:34.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I should watch it.
11:34.347 --> 11:35.267
[SPEAKER_00]: At some point, I didn't see it.
11:35.847 --> 11:36.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:36.268 --> 11:36.968
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, um...
11:38.109 --> 11:43.812
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, did you look back on last week's episode for the video to see if it was trope you're not because it's doing it again and then of course there was a buttload of patches for path one because it was it's first week mm-hmm did you play this week?
11:43.832 --> 11:44.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I did yeah okay.
11:44.172 --> 11:56.020
[SPEAKER_00]: I, uh, you know what I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I
11:57.190 --> 12:01.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I am I struggled with the luminary and that's my own fault.
12:01.373 --> 12:16.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So like everything that I say about you know where I struggle that I understand so I don't typically play a new the new thing first and it was pretty 0.1 BS and I have played since 0.1 and I still am a little bit
12:17.662 --> 12:18.182
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, yeah.
12:18.202 --> 12:18.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure where I'm at.
12:19.062 --> 12:24.524
[SPEAKER_01]: I played my play session when we recorded on Friday late so that we could play.
12:24.604 --> 12:27.044
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think last week I had to go on to maybe act for something.
12:27.084 --> 12:29.465
[SPEAKER_01]: I just unlocked, I'm like my first nurse there.
12:30.145 --> 12:33.006
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we recorded and then I played a lot Friday night.
12:33.466 --> 12:36.506
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Saturday, I just had the opportunity to play a lot.
12:36.626 --> 12:38.147
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a lot of free time on Saturday.
12:38.187 --> 12:39.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, yeah, I'm going to get this guy going.
12:40.647 --> 12:45.308
[SPEAKER_01]: By the time the evening came on Saturday, I was so mad at myself that I had played Path of Excel.
12:45.349 --> 12:46.249
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I should have just gone
12:47.569 --> 12:48.371
[SPEAKER_01]: because I would have had fun.
12:48.571 --> 12:49.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have enjoyed it.
12:50.014 --> 12:53.321
[SPEAKER_01]: I really struggled with this luminary in the mercenary.
12:53.481 --> 12:53.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I...
12:54.646 --> 12:57.407
[SPEAKER_01]: My first mercenary that I got, I was like, all right, cool, I got my buddy.
12:57.427 --> 12:58.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna buff him up.
12:58.447 --> 13:01.308
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna start running and I was playing RF.
13:01.368 --> 13:05.068
[SPEAKER_01]: So RF is pretty smooth once you get it going through campaigns.
13:05.089 --> 13:07.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it doesn't tend to fall off until quite a bit later.
13:08.449 --> 13:09.650
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was fine.
13:09.690 --> 13:13.571
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just running RF and then you had my mercenary go in.
13:14.371 --> 13:19.012
[SPEAKER_01]: But then when I tried to shift more and to just supporting the mercenary, I
13:20.092 --> 13:20.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I struggled, man.
13:21.455 --> 13:32.514
[SPEAKER_01]: It's such a weird class for me because you're you're so you're so reliant on the RNG of Will and Mercenary show up and which type of Mercenary could it be.
13:33.767 --> 13:40.669
[SPEAKER_01]: because, and that's weird, it's really, I, I've struggled with this class, with this ascendancy since what you came out.
13:40.709 --> 13:44.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Since we very first talked about it, I was like, man, I don't really understand how it's going to work.
13:44.650 --> 13:51.753
[SPEAKER_01]: How's that, you know, the Atlas passive can benefit a class, I just don't get, I don't understand that, it doesn't make any sense to me.
13:51.833 --> 13:52.033
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
13:53.478 --> 14:01.502
[SPEAKER_01]: I did, I struggled with it because I couldn't, if the first person I got, I was like, damn, if I had his skills right now, that'd be awesome.
14:01.522 --> 14:07.405
[SPEAKER_01]: He had like volcanic, fissure of sneaking, and I had him in act two or three, whatever the first one you got.
14:07.766 --> 14:08.906
[SPEAKER_01]: My god, this guy's got to be great.
14:09.486 --> 14:09.747
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
14:10.567 --> 14:11.167
[SPEAKER_01]: was not great.
14:11.207 --> 14:12.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I had RF, so it was fine.
14:12.968 --> 14:19.572
[SPEAKER_01]: And then as I played through the campaign, I think around, well, I know it was whatever 46, wherever I was around 46.
14:20.372 --> 14:22.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I came across, I just kept switching to the next one, right?
14:22.873 --> 14:27.615
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know, you know, what mercenaries are going to be better than the next, so I would come across one.
14:27.635 --> 14:32.518
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it looked like it had skills that were at least decent, I would hire him and start running with him.
14:33.690 --> 14:43.314
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't until 46 where I got the many shot, which I had looked online afterwards and that was like the one to get people said to use the many shot with foul eye shot and it was working it.
14:43.334 --> 14:44.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it did really well.
14:44.955 --> 14:51.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I went through the rest of the campaign then at that point feeling like decent and that was on the Saturday finishing campaign getting into mapping.
14:53.276 --> 14:55.659
[SPEAKER_01]: But then, you know, I got to like 60, 69, 70 somewhere around there, and I'm trying to get gear.
14:55.679 --> 14:56.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to gear myself.
14:56.420 --> 15:06.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to gear my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
15:07.842 --> 15:16.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I get a bow that has a level 7 year requirement, and I have a helmet that has a level 7 year requirement, both decks based obviously, right?
15:17.350 --> 15:25.217
[SPEAKER_01]: It lets me put the bow on my, I had not even paid attention to the love of my mark because I had made the assumption, but in its an assumption, I was wrong.
15:25.918 --> 15:42.364
[SPEAKER_01]: But I had thought that the mercenary would level with me, like as I played, I assumed that I knew that they didn't in the past, but I was like, well, surely in this new one, like a permanent guy levels with you, or am I actually mega skill just right, yeah, I couldn't figure it out.
15:42.384 --> 15:45.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Now my skill gym so widely and I thought because
15:46.585 --> 15:52.668
[SPEAKER_01]: the mercenaries at lower level spawn with less supports not as cool of supports, right?
15:52.688 --> 15:55.949
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't get a lot of the like rare supports that are only found higher up.
15:56.249 --> 16:02.372
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just assume like you'd want to replace them because you'd find ones with better supports, but they would at least be lovely with you.
16:02.392 --> 16:06.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I had been going through the campaign and early mapping decently with it.
16:06.634 --> 16:09.435
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, I go to put the level 70 bowl in the character and it works.
16:09.895 --> 16:12.597
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the level 70 helmet is great out.
16:13.627 --> 16:14.207
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, what?
16:14.387 --> 16:18.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Why can I not put this helmet on the character, but I can put the bow on the character?
16:18.188 --> 16:18.889
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure it out.
16:18.969 --> 16:27.471
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I noticed that my character was, oh, because I think it said like, when I was right-clicking or trying to do it, I think it said something about the level requirement.
16:27.491 --> 16:27.991
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, what?
16:28.051 --> 16:28.752
[SPEAKER_01]: What level requirement?
16:28.772 --> 16:31.913
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I looked and I saw, my guy was level 46.
16:33.153 --> 16:38.395
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I was stuck because I'm like, well, what am I meant to, am I actually just supposed to,
16:39.655 --> 16:40.516
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't progress.
16:40.536 --> 16:41.776
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd hit a wall in maps.
16:41.816 --> 16:43.117
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't killing stuff.
16:43.177 --> 16:47.999
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like sitting there for three minutes waiting for a rarer to just maybe could I tickle you a bit?
16:48.179 --> 16:49.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Could I at least get some health down?
16:49.940 --> 16:51.040
[SPEAKER_01]: It just wasn't feeling great.
16:51.120 --> 16:54.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I'm thinking like I spent time on Saturday.
16:55.122 --> 16:57.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Just spamming Tier 1 and Tier 2 maps.
16:57.783 --> 16:58.983
[SPEAKER_01]: Trying to find a mercenary.
16:59.304 --> 17:02.885
[SPEAKER_01]: I spent my whole beginning of my Atlas passive around Merks.
17:03.225 --> 17:06.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Normally I would go straight into like maps to stay and making sure I'm doing final maps.
17:07.527 --> 17:10.149
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to go to make sure that I had a hundred percent chance.
17:10.189 --> 17:11.510
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I only got up to 90 percent.
17:11.530 --> 17:19.515
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a pre-point one, 90 percent chance to get a Merck, because you also can get Merck's spawn with an extra support.
17:20.156 --> 17:21.416
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really big deal.
17:21.837 --> 17:32.024
[SPEAKER_01]: To be able to have a mercenary that has a chance to spawn with additional supports on their skills, like that's a big deal, but I have to get that out of the Atlas passive to get to get that in the maps.
17:33.044 --> 17:57.332
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had to spend my points to get the Merks and then I just spent low tier maps and then at that point because my Merk was so low I'm just like, well, I guess I'll take the new Merk right if I come across a new Merk Let's try this new Merk and I'll hire them and run with them I did not come across a single Merk that could kill like my level 46 Val, I shot one none of them none of them came even close.
17:57.352 --> 17:58.673
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I probably finished a bow
18:00.085 --> 18:04.726
[SPEAKER_01]: I probably finish about 20, like low tier maps, tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3.
18:04.746 --> 18:12.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I just kept hitting Mesa over and over as much as I can, because I just quick you do the loop and you find your mercenary and add higher them, and then I do them for the next loop.
18:12.247 --> 18:12.967
[SPEAKER_01]: See how what it's like.
18:13.567 --> 18:18.128
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was, I was so frustrated, because I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
18:18.168 --> 18:20.849
[SPEAKER_01]: Am I actually supposed to just look for a mini shot?
18:21.489 --> 18:27.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this supposed to be the Merc that I'm supposed to get, or maybe I'm doing something incorrect, but there's the,
18:28.530 --> 18:31.911
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we talk about their UIs, their information, their stuff.
18:32.872 --> 18:36.253
[SPEAKER_01]: We play a stack game where they don't often provide you with all of the stats.
18:36.293 --> 18:43.536
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's really hard because there's nothing in the game that tells me if this item is going to increase the damage of my character.
18:43.616 --> 18:48.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't see what does that, what's the even just a DPS check?
18:48.137 --> 18:49.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I mouse over top of their skill?
18:50.418 --> 18:59.604
[SPEAKER_01]: to see what this new bow will do to the damage that I don't know and so I don't actually know exactly how to properly scale a character.
19:00.644 --> 19:09.430
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was really tough and so on Saturday towards the end on Saturday evening I was like this cannot be the way that it's meant to be played.
19:09.510 --> 19:15.133
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't imagine that I meant to just be I was I think I finally got to like level 80
19:16.630 --> 19:18.851
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was the most stalled out I've ever felt.
19:18.911 --> 19:20.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't progress the Atlas.
19:20.332 --> 19:22.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I was struggling to get into like sevens and eights.
19:22.853 --> 19:26.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was doing up to sixes, but they were not great.
19:26.495 --> 19:28.456
[SPEAKER_01]: And I could not find a new mercenary.
19:28.476 --> 19:33.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I never found a new mercenary that whole time I was still using this level 461, which I couldn't upgrade the bow or the helmet.
19:33.719 --> 19:33.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
19:34.919 --> 19:39.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and I just, I was like, this cannot be, I must be missing something.
19:39.161 --> 19:40.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this can't be,
19:41.355 --> 19:49.239
[SPEAKER_01]: What they mean for me to be doing at this level like and then you would come across a mercenary and you're like okay Like this one might be an upgrade.
19:49.299 --> 19:56.603
[SPEAKER_01]: I found one I wish I could remember what they were Mass occurred me I opened them up.
19:56.763 --> 20:02.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to stay away from them and I was like two tap I don't even know how I died but I died so fast the mercenary that I was like okay
20:03.795 --> 20:05.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, and then the mercenaries gone, right?
20:05.317 --> 20:07.440
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't, you can't try and catch them again.
20:08.201 --> 20:14.170
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then, you know, like your mercenary, I only had it happen one time where my mercenary died, but that's it.
20:14.190 --> 20:15.652
[SPEAKER_01]: The map's over.
20:16.554 --> 20:17.595
[SPEAKER_01]: If your mercenary's dead.
20:18.790 --> 20:27.673
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's nothing you can do because I can't even go back into my base and pull up one of my backup mercenaries, they won't be still doing RF right no, I'm off.
20:27.693 --> 20:29.554
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was the most important that is my damage.
20:29.634 --> 20:31.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that's what you meant.
20:31.915 --> 20:32.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:32.235 --> 20:37.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they're dead, I find that odd like why can't I go back to my base and grab a different mercenary?
20:39.033 --> 20:41.695
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that actually seems like it would make more sense.
20:41.755 --> 20:43.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me build two mercenaries.
20:43.216 --> 20:45.197
[SPEAKER_01]: One is my mapping one.
20:45.217 --> 20:46.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I switched to one when I want a boss kill.
20:47.019 --> 20:52.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, well, I don't understand why I can't bring one of my other mercenaries into the map.
20:53.003 --> 20:54.384
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, I've wiped a map.
20:54.424 --> 20:54.884
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gone.
20:54.924 --> 20:58.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just start the next one because I can't get them back.
20:59.007 --> 21:01.269
[SPEAKER_01]: So I struggled with it, man.
21:01.369 --> 21:02.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I really had a tough time.
21:02.350 --> 21:04.251
[SPEAKER_01]: They did bring up the point one patch.
21:06.152 --> 21:09.253
[SPEAKER_01]: which was, I had heard the what are we working on?
21:10.193 --> 21:10.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
21:10.813 --> 21:15.554
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, but the way that they worded the what are we working on, it seemed like some of those things were maybe already done.
21:16.094 --> 21:18.354
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, okay, I think on, they often do, yeah.
21:18.494 --> 21:19.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's just not in the pat.
21:19.934 --> 21:21.515
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just hasn't been released yet.
21:21.735 --> 21:24.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, but like, they're finished to them.
21:24.955 --> 21:26.256
[SPEAKER_00]: What they have done released yet.
21:26.676 --> 21:27.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I read it that way.
21:27.376 --> 21:28.336
[SPEAKER_00]: They were to like that often.
21:28.356 --> 21:30.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I think on like, whens, they may be Wednesday or Thursday.
21:30.876 --> 21:32.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I popped on to play for a little bit.
21:32.117 --> 21:32.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was talking to people in 2021.
21:35.007 --> 21:39.831
[SPEAKER_01]: I was struggling, so I was like, hey, just curious, guys, do you know if the changes from works have happened?
21:39.851 --> 21:40.852
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, no, not yet.
21:40.972 --> 21:41.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I got that makes sense.
21:41.893 --> 21:44.635
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I just stopped again, went back to Play Power World.
21:45.456 --> 21:49.159
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I did come back in point one, because they made some changes.
21:49.720 --> 21:51.882
[SPEAKER_01]: They made it so that, I,
21:54.373 --> 21:55.334
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a note here.
21:55.354 --> 22:00.281
[SPEAKER_01]: I wrote some notes and I said that was the noteness.
22:00.702 --> 22:02.083
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I said that more.
22:02.143 --> 22:02.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
22:02.804 --> 22:03.926
[SPEAKER_01]: But no, no, don't be sorry.
22:04.066 --> 22:09.834
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the things that I mentioned was that hidden stats and hidden details in a stat game suck.
22:11.117 --> 22:30.668
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot have, I learned that the mercenaries had a hidden damage reduction, mercenaries permanent minions, permanent, sorry, not permanent enemies, permanent mercenaries, had a hidden damage reduction, well, how much?
22:31.048 --> 22:31.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
22:32.049 --> 22:36.651
[SPEAKER_01]: It was crazy if I went in did a map and I actually, maybe I didn't, at that time you
22:38.070 --> 22:48.212
[SPEAKER_01]: seem to work different at the point one, but if I decided to take items from somebody or I didn't want to hire them because whatever, then they would run with me through the rest of the map.
22:48.733 --> 22:53.714
[SPEAKER_01]: But these guys, a non-permanent mercenary was awesome.
22:55.054 --> 22:58.755
[SPEAKER_01]: They were crushing it, but my mercenary was like tickling them.
22:59.592 --> 23:00.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, well, I don't understand it.
23:00.893 --> 23:06.998
[SPEAKER_01]: So then when I read the stuff about point one, I was like, hold on, why is there a hidden stat?
23:07.018 --> 23:08.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm already blind.
23:08.439 --> 23:11.081
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know exactly what is improving my mercenary.
23:12.723 --> 23:14.444
[SPEAKER_01]: And now there's additional stuff that's hidden.
23:14.904 --> 23:17.527
[SPEAKER_01]: So I found that really frustrating because I was like, well,
23:18.668 --> 23:29.213
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I didn't know how to improve my character, I was really struggling with understanding what is the game loop for me because I got to gear myself, I got to gear a mercenary, but if you want to try and swap out a mercenary because you're like, well...
23:30.365 --> 23:32.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't actually know what a good mercenary is.
23:32.867 --> 23:34.629
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't gear every mercenary.
23:34.669 --> 23:39.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't get gear for every archetype that you come across.
23:39.092 --> 23:46.799
[SPEAKER_01]: So then it becomes tough to upgrade or switch out your mercenary because you just don't know if it's gonna be an improvement or not.
23:47.299 --> 23:49.581
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, yeah man, I really struggled.
23:49.641 --> 23:51.623
[SPEAKER_01]: I did get my fourth ascension after point one.
23:51.643 --> 23:53.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I did go back, play point one.
23:54.105 --> 24:00.291
[SPEAKER_01]: I was able to finally upgrade my mercenary, but I upgraded my mercenary with the same mercenary just a better version of it.
24:01.393 --> 24:04.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I tried every single freaking mercenary I came across.
24:04.956 --> 24:05.617
[SPEAKER_01]: I would take them.
24:05.957 --> 24:11.543
[SPEAKER_01]: I would go and get them in like a tier five or six map, and then I would take them into a tier one map.
24:12.423 --> 24:13.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would be like, let's see how they feel.
24:13.765 --> 24:14.425
[SPEAKER_01]: And a tier one map.
24:15.406 --> 24:15.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.
24:16.515 --> 24:29.526
[SPEAKER_01]: like I just could not find one until I found another vowel I shot one and then I was like okay finally I got an improvement to my damage but I found one absolution one after the point one one and I did actually like the absolution one.
24:30.880 --> 24:35.141
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so that one felt pretty good too, but yeah, it just I don't know.
24:35.261 --> 24:36.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I really struggled with how to improve.
24:36.901 --> 24:37.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure it out.
24:38.142 --> 24:41.842
[SPEAKER_01]: It was uh, getting tough to push into the red maps and just frustrating.
24:42.042 --> 24:43.263
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt better after 0.1.
24:43.923 --> 24:47.564
[SPEAKER_01]: I did play a bit last night and I think I got to like 80.
24:47.584 --> 24:51.104
[SPEAKER_01]: 86 maybe and I've got my fourth ascension done.
24:51.184 --> 24:55.145
[SPEAKER_01]: So like I'm I'm a fully ascended and I took this new new
24:58.496 --> 24:59.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I don't know.
24:59.757 --> 25:04.140
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a bit tough for me because I I just was very lost.
25:04.220 --> 25:05.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I was pretty stuck.
25:05.621 --> 25:07.642
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I understand luminary was new.
25:07.822 --> 25:14.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything's new with it, but I also felt like, but I don't know how much it was actually tested.
25:14.887 --> 25:16.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there was a comment.
25:17.288 --> 25:18.830
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wish I could remember where I read it.
25:18.910 --> 25:24.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it came from our discord or where it was, but it was a conversation, you know what?
25:24.095 --> 25:24.936
[SPEAKER_01]: It probably wasn't even discord.
25:24.956 --> 25:25.817
[SPEAKER_01]: It had to just popped up.
25:26.238 --> 25:28.480
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an interview with Mark Summer.
25:28.580 --> 25:29.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
25:29.841 --> 25:32.024
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was talking specifically about,
25:33.525 --> 25:45.759
[SPEAKER_01]: Gameskips like mechanic campaign skips and I know this doesn't sound like it's related But it is but he was talking about campaign skips and how it will probably never come to Pat the VxL like they're just Jonathan's been against it Chris has been against it.
25:45.839 --> 25:46.580
[SPEAKER_01]: He's against it.
25:46.660 --> 25:50.505
[SPEAKER_01]: He agrees But when he explained it he said you know
25:51.085 --> 26:09.945
[SPEAKER_01]: as developers we can have a character at endgame with all the right gear and there's no connection to that character and you know you haven't built that character up which I do understand that and I was a little bit confused because I was like I don't know that that's what people are asking for people aren't saying like hey give me a level 80 with gear so that I can just go to maps I think people are just saying like I'd like a faster way to get
26:10.566 --> 26:11.687
[SPEAKER_01]: to maps or endgame.
26:12.107 --> 26:21.275
[SPEAKER_01]: But the part about it that stuck out to me was the part that, you know, as developers, we can just have a character that's, you know, high enough level has the right gear, and then we can play a test.
26:34.147 --> 26:39.530
[SPEAKER_01]: I've just, it confuses me a little bit, like to the point where I hire three mercenaries and I'm in my hideout.
26:40.231 --> 26:43.132
[SPEAKER_01]: All three mercenaries share of the exact same tile.
26:43.312 --> 26:47.014
[SPEAKER_01]: They all stand exactly on top of each other and I can't pick the one I want.
26:47.134 --> 26:49.596
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't move them with the editor for the hideout.
26:50.056 --> 26:55.579
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to go to like act one or act ten or act nine because those ones separate them.
26:56.259 --> 26:59.181
[SPEAKER_01]: They all three stand together, like beside each other and I can pick them.
26:59.881 --> 27:05.465
[SPEAKER_01]: In end game, I have to go back to those zones when I want to swap out my merch because they stack on top of each other.
27:05.885 --> 27:09.647
[SPEAKER_01]: That takes like half a second to know that that happens.
27:10.708 --> 27:17.652
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like so I just I felt a little bit stuck because I whatever man, I played a brand new class, I get it.
27:17.813 --> 27:19.514
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm starting to feel a little bit better with it.
27:19.914 --> 27:27.379
[SPEAKER_01]: I did try to do some more you know reading and trying to see what people were doing, but it didn't help me understand it because
27:28.545 --> 27:33.969
[SPEAKER_01]: If you tell me that I need to get a bow that increases crit, can you tell me, like, let me understand why?
27:34.809 --> 27:40.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't, I'm doing it blindly because when I equip it onto my character, I don't see a number thing.
27:40.773 --> 27:50.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see something that tells me that the damage of value I shot is improved more with crit than it is with say flat damage or like, or am I getting percentage damage?
27:50.399 --> 27:53.822
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, it's just weird to me that I can't see that as a stat somewhere.
27:54.482 --> 27:54.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
27:55.983 --> 28:21.966
[SPEAKER_00]: And the irony is that this comes out like so that's no different than with like zombies or reaper or anything like I have no idea what anything's doing there's nothing in the game that tells you both those minion stats but in terms of like DPS or survivability or anything like that you can see the flat stats on a minion right by clicking on the skill gem and it just gives you the totals but there's no right implication for what that means in game.
28:22.967 --> 28:36.178
[SPEAKER_00]: But funny enough, the irony with what you're struggling with and the lack of information comes at the same time, the acknowledge that that's been the case for in a slightly different way, but the same case in general for the anime guardian.
28:37.059 --> 28:44.485
[SPEAKER_00]: So then they come up with more information and accessibility for the guardian while they come up with other allies, it's like, nope, we're not going to provide.
28:49.662 --> 28:51.464
[SPEAKER_00]: how they balance their skill gems.
28:52.444 --> 28:56.407
[SPEAKER_00]: They've now just added a whole new world to that, right?
28:56.988 --> 29:04.233
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's certain mercenaries that are stronger or weaker because of a certain skill or a certain item or certain combination of all of the above,
29:05.494 --> 29:18.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they've just added that to the mix of an already overwhelming list of, we got to keep these relevant, at least good enough to play with versus not.
29:19.289 --> 29:20.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's tough.
29:20.189 --> 29:21.451
[SPEAKER_00]: And the the the the
29:27.497 --> 29:35.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, sure it's your choice, but it's not your fault if you're playing a marketed archetype, which was very marketed.
29:36.947 --> 29:37.447
[SPEAKER_00]: and it sucked.
29:38.248 --> 29:58.678
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's not the users fault you know what I mean and so whether it is that the company was rushing something or whether it was an oversight or whatever it is it still falls on the company to all right this is new make it relevant and it's it's like you have this whole big marketing thing right for whatever companies whatever product it is and then if it doesn't
30:00.167 --> 30:00.647
[SPEAKER_00]: work well.
30:01.408 --> 30:03.769
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, it just doesn't make the product look good.
30:03.830 --> 30:21.722
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's disappointing when you're really excited and like for you, like you finally went out of your comfort zone in a way to play something new, like we said, a highly marketed thing and then it just kind of falls flat or it, whether it's testing or whether it was just too big to fully test, but, um,
30:22.462 --> 30:23.322
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too bad.
30:23.983 --> 30:33.706
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of really cool changes to the game itself that, like at the end of the day, it's almost like your car got a paint job, but the engine still sucked.
30:33.886 --> 30:34.446
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
30:34.566 --> 30:44.190
[SPEAKER_00]: In a way, it's like you're trying to enjoy the game for what it is, but it was your build, the archetype that really held you back from all the other really cool changes of the game added in this patch.
30:44.907 --> 30:52.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I mean, I didn't play until recently, I didn't do a ton of the underwater stuff, which I actually really do like the underwater stuff.
30:52.334 --> 30:56.258
[SPEAKER_01]: But the one benefit was I was happy to play another game.
30:56.498 --> 30:58.920
[SPEAKER_01]: It actually, and then I thought like, maybe this is a health thing.
30:59.201 --> 31:01.183
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm not feeling it right now.
31:01.803 --> 31:04.386
[SPEAKER_01]: I, if I'm gonna play a game, I wanna have some fun.
31:04.786 --> 31:06.348
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, we talked about this in the past,
31:06.868 --> 31:12.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Excel is pretty notorious for not respecting your time all the time, you know like they're and that's fine That is the game that it is.
31:12.331 --> 31:15.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what I'm playing But I was like I'm I want to have some fun.
31:15.152 --> 31:16.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna be happy.
31:16.092 --> 31:21.315
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll end play in some game So I played Paul world when I had time to play like it was weird having free time and
31:22.155 --> 31:30.083
[SPEAKER_01]: right clicking on seam, and I had the two choices there, and I'm like, ah, it's going to load up power, because it loads up, and I have smile, because I'm going to play and have a good time.
31:30.503 --> 31:33.906
[SPEAKER_01]: So once I got back into Path of Exhaustor.1, like they did improve some stuff.
31:34.007 --> 31:37.910
[SPEAKER_01]: I, like I said, I spent some time doing the underwater stuff, which was actually quite fun.
31:38.030 --> 31:40.213
[SPEAKER_01]: I did enjoy a good part of it.
31:40.293 --> 31:43.636
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some parts that I was like, yeah, it's a bit tedious, but it was fun.
31:43.656 --> 31:44.357
[SPEAKER_01]: The loot was good.
31:46.412 --> 31:49.373
[SPEAKER_01]: They have done a very good job of making me more of a fan of PUE2.
31:50.114 --> 31:56.697
[SPEAKER_01]: When sometimes I'm playing Path of Exile one, there are times where I'm like, okay, I get why I enjoy PUE2 better.
31:56.757 --> 32:01.359
[SPEAKER_01]: PUE2 has much more meaningful fights and loot.
32:02.359 --> 32:06.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I can kill over there, I let it in here.
32:06.881 --> 32:07.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you?
32:07.201 --> 32:08.362
[SPEAKER_00]: That's wearing it.
32:08.682 --> 32:08.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:09.703 --> 32:10.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even see it come in.
32:12.075 --> 32:12.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, as well.
32:12.876 --> 32:13.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I was in the bathroom.
32:13.677 --> 32:13.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
32:13.998 --> 32:14.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
32:14.479 --> 32:16.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I just, there's more meaningful loop.
32:16.081 --> 32:23.131
[SPEAKER_01]: When I fight a rare and puy too, I'm pretty confident that I will, you know, there's a good chance that something's going to drop that is exciting.
32:23.171 --> 32:23.952
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an improvement.
32:23.972 --> 32:24.613
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm going to get it.
32:24.673 --> 32:27.577
[SPEAKER_01]: And puy one because there's just the everywhere.
32:28.618 --> 32:32.019
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a really hard game to play soul itself on mind.
32:32.159 --> 32:35.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I love trade, I love trade, I'm all happy to do trade.
32:35.040 --> 32:52.945
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like trade as like a filler, I like need some resist, I need some stats, I know I've got a piece of item that, you know, you can't target farm affixes in Path of Excel, so I, you know, if I'm missing a suffix and I need some decks or whatever it is, I know I can replace this particular item and improve it, that's what I like trade for.
32:54.085 --> 32:56.566
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I would play Path of Excel one without that.
32:57.810 --> 33:01.453
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just, there is not meaningful loot dropping on the ground.
33:02.414 --> 33:03.435
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not finding upgrades.
33:03.515 --> 33:06.418
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I was reading, this is one thing that frustrated me with the point one patch.
33:06.958 --> 33:09.040
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, okay, cool, mercenary stuff.
33:09.140 --> 33:16.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't like that I'm getting power like out of, or an increase of my character by doing the Atlas.
33:16.306 --> 33:17.287
[SPEAKER_01]: I just find that weird.
33:17.787 --> 33:18.588
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't get it.
33:18.788 --> 33:22.872
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just odd to me that I'm using the Atlas passive to improve my build.
33:22.972 --> 33:25.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Typically, the Atlas passive is to improve my,
33:25.985 --> 33:30.877
[SPEAKER_01]: like loot drops or my experience or something, and then I'm using that to get, I just weird to me, it's odd.
33:30.958 --> 33:31.178
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
33:33.437 --> 33:46.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I was reading the point one patch, and Abyss is obviously new this league, how they've changed up Pewie 1 to be the Abyss style of Pewie 2, and I like it, I don't like chasing the things around, so I'm happy with that.
33:47.206 --> 33:53.029
[SPEAKER_01]: But they buffed Chessloop, they buffed loot to drop from a Chess, not loot from monsters.
33:53.269 --> 33:58.533
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like, I'm finding nothing when I do these abysses, like very, very little.
33:59.413 --> 34:07.738
[SPEAKER_01]: and then I'm reading that they've massively buffed the chests to drop more stuff I'm like but there's like eight rares I just killed.
34:08.138 --> 34:10.119
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be cool if they drop the stuff.
34:11.019 --> 34:11.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the chest!
34:12.901 --> 34:18.785
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it made me, it made me a little bit excited to go back to POE 2 when it comes out.
34:18.805 --> 34:20.586
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I enjoy the POE 1.
34:20.666 --> 34:23.708
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the underground stuff, the underwater stuff.
34:23.728 --> 34:27.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I do want to play that more because it does seem fun to do it.
34:27.090 --> 34:30.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was finding the loot fund, the experience was pretty good.
34:31.717 --> 34:36.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't understand the direction I, it just seems odd to me.
34:36.020 --> 34:43.545
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know exactly what's best for me to do to get better gear except which I don't like, find a way to farm currency and then trade for it.
34:45.166 --> 34:48.487
[SPEAKER_01]: and the new crafting thing with the new stuff, I was, I was starting people in discord.
34:48.807 --> 34:49.668
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks awesome.
34:49.768 --> 34:51.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot wait to get into that.
34:51.208 --> 34:52.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that seems so cool.
34:52.589 --> 34:58.011
[SPEAKER_01]: This ability to, you're gonna exalt, slam an item, get four options, pick your best one.
34:58.031 --> 35:00.692
[SPEAKER_01]: You're gonna, like, for all the currencies, I think that's so cool.
35:01.232 --> 35:05.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's such a good way of increasing the odds of being able to improve your gear through crafting.
35:06.274 --> 35:06.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Very cool.
35:07.395 --> 35:10.316
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would also like something on the ground to be like, whoo!
35:11.195 --> 35:11.775
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not great.
35:11.955 --> 35:12.376
[SPEAKER_01]: That's sweet.
35:12.396 --> 35:13.376
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to see that.
35:13.436 --> 35:16.418
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's been a bit of a frustrating week for me.
35:16.498 --> 35:24.824
[SPEAKER_01]: I have struggled to have fun so far in this league with the luminary because it's sort of very slow and then I rolled into 0.1.
35:25.124 --> 35:29.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I was impressed I came back because I was a little worried, you know, we've told that I get to go hard.
35:29.046 --> 35:31.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But I didn't go very hard, so it was a bit easier to come back.
35:32.330 --> 35:40.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I'm still hoping that there's some improvements coming because if felt a bit, uh, it just felt a bit untested.
35:40.493 --> 35:44.734
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt a bit like I was, they were figuring things out with me as I was figuring things out.
35:45.254 --> 35:50.936
[SPEAKER_01]: And while I don't mind following a build, I like the idea being able to follow a build and look at it and understand what somebody's doing.
35:51.116 --> 35:52.097
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know why.
35:52.717 --> 35:56.782
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't want to have to read a build word for word and try and follow it step by step.
35:56.802 --> 35:57.584
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not for me.
35:57.624 --> 35:59.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to give you the just giving the idea.
35:59.326 --> 35:59.786
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
35:59.867 --> 36:04.573
[SPEAKER_01]: But this time, I felt like a crunching information about what to do with this luminary.
36:04.613 --> 36:05.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what was the best?
36:06.783 --> 36:09.646
[SPEAKER_01]: way to go about it because I wanted to play the support style.
36:09.666 --> 36:10.346
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it'd be fun.
36:10.386 --> 36:12.428
[SPEAKER_01]: That was sort of what I saw them in doing in the video.
36:13.489 --> 36:15.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'm just, yeah, I'm still getting there.
36:15.891 --> 36:16.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Still working on it.
36:16.592 --> 36:17.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I'm 86.
36:18.233 --> 36:26.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I will still be playing it more, but I'm hoping there's more to come after this point one patch because I'm a bit confused with the loot direction.
36:26.321 --> 36:27.962
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why they're buffing chests.
36:28.242 --> 36:28.823
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that.
36:29.604 --> 36:29.784
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
36:30.800 --> 36:33.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how's your playtime?
36:33.042 --> 36:34.763
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you working on where to get to?
36:35.804 --> 36:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, um, I don't remember the last time you became disinterested in path one within a week of lead launch.
36:44.792 --> 36:49.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Never within the first two days, never, ever, ever, I've never had that before, so I was just putting it down.
36:49.716 --> 36:50.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:52.268 --> 36:53.028
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's interesting.
36:53.548 --> 36:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully it's build specific, not game specific for me, otherwise you can just join me in path too.
36:59.530 --> 37:09.573
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I was playing path one because I said I would, my opinions, the path one haven't changed, but what folks on that my build itself is really, really strong.
37:11.333 --> 37:12.654
[SPEAKER_01]: This is zombies, or what are we doing?
37:12.674 --> 37:32.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm just doing Guardian, I'm just doing zombies, and my DPS is crazy, so this maybe it's the change they made to the minions that kind of stand around and stutter, and that fixed they had for it, and then there was that list of a few minions that it would improve.
37:33.369 --> 37:39.895
[SPEAKER_00]: Zombies was on that list Like my build is just annihilating everything I go through.
37:40.215 --> 37:44.919
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's great Being the guardian as opposed to the witch.
37:44.999 --> 37:48.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I just have Random armor kicking around through the campaign.
37:48.762 --> 37:49.543
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need much.
37:49.603 --> 37:53.386
[SPEAKER_00]: It's similar to path 2 in that regard right you just you have a tiny bit there and
37:55.547 --> 37:58.289
[SPEAKER_00]: And it does wonders in terms of physical damage.
37:58.309 --> 38:05.892
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also think that I'm doing defensive-wise as focusing on physical damage mitigation and increasing my maximum elemental resist.
38:06.372 --> 38:11.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I only have 76 right now because that's all that's available in the North all everything else is coming.
38:11.514 --> 38:12.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, this camera's showing me nuts.
38:13.316 --> 38:16.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, everything else is a lot farther down south in the tree.
38:16.060 --> 38:16.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still in the campaign.
38:16.981 --> 38:20.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I just started, but that's so really good for campaign that act nine.
38:20.726 --> 38:27.617
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, but also part of the quote unquote shredding that my zombies are doing is.
38:29.598 --> 38:55.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, in part, to the amount of supports that I have available to me at this time, because everything's white sockets, everything's strong, it's a totally different game, I'm enjoying the game for totally different reasons that I enjoyed it before, I have more loot available to me, because now it's just a natural-butt game, I don't have to worry about what socket colors are going to roll.
38:56.391 --> 39:01.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's nice any five socket that drops as long as I have the attributes for it It's gonna work.
39:01.237 --> 39:02.598
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to worry about it.
39:02.738 --> 39:11.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's only gonna roll red and green when I get all blue Yep, so that's nice and so I'm I'm a lot stronger just because of that
39:12.669 --> 39:32.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I designed my build for the old way that Path of Exile was, so I'm used to the expectation of less gear, like I'm used to gear not mattering, okay, at all, and it eventually coming, but needing to campaign with nothing, right?
39:32.435 --> 39:33.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead, do you think?
39:33.115 --> 39:40.737
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, I'm just turning it to silent, and so I'm used to gear, meaning nothing, so I'm going through the game already with that, so the gear's still,
39:41.597 --> 39:56.413
[SPEAKER_00]: at funny enough, I actually have decent gear, but I'm not, but my build revolves around not needing it, so things like being stationary with ice armor or whatever it's called, what's the 35% res one I forget?
39:57.634 --> 40:01.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Arctic armor, you know, elemental purity
40:04.468 --> 40:12.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but just things like that, flesh and stone, being stationary, gets you up to 9% physical damage mitigation, the pantheon thing.
40:12.292 --> 40:19.395
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just those little things that make it a much smoother experience, but you add that with a five-link.
40:20.556 --> 40:39.216
[SPEAKER_00]: of zombies that sometimes I'm like still doing three links as I get to like act seven or Yeah, because it's just not dropping for me, right, and But then like nice but to me it's so Like it looks always sucked in past one it always has so that's not new, but
40:40.477 --> 40:47.922
[SPEAKER_00]: more loot's available to me, which is nice, but the game is so easy now, like there's zero difficulty to it, not at all.
40:48.902 --> 40:53.605
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd love to say it's my build, but I really don't think it is, I think I'm purely just the sockets.
40:54.425 --> 41:01.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm just, I am, my minions are so much stronger because I can socket what I want when I want.
41:01.550 --> 41:01.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
41:02.370 --> 41:06.653
[SPEAKER_01]: But that will eventually hit a point where you would have gotten there in maps.
41:07.294 --> 41:11.316
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you don't even mean like it feels like it's just a faster route to that spot.
41:11.336 --> 41:16.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious what it's, I'm curious if those changes are felt in for you when you get to maps.
41:17.000 --> 41:20.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Where you would have had a five link and now you still have a five link.
41:20.963 --> 41:22.224
[SPEAKER_01]: It has, does it feel better still?
41:22.824 --> 41:29.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, and I mean to go back to your point to bow, you know, not campaign skipping, but just looking for a faster way to go through the campaign.
41:29.330 --> 41:34.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, like, sockets is really an answer to that, right?
41:34.694 --> 41:42.821
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, focusing on my build, I like my build, I've ascended twice now, everything's easy.
41:43.241 --> 41:44.743
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so easy easy easy mode.
41:44.863 --> 41:47.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through things are dying very quickly.
41:47.085 --> 41:54.293
[SPEAKER_00]: I my health barely moves Is our old killed me once out of nowhere and then like I was just standing there for every single loss Rare.
41:54.313 --> 41:55.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not doing anything.
41:55.274 --> 42:01.941
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just standing there and then all of a sudden my health has gone so it must have been like two crits in a row or something I don't know I mean, I just do
42:05.111 --> 42:09.353
[SPEAKER_00]: And the second time I went through it wasn't a problem, so I just must have been the random crit thing, and that's fine.
42:09.734 --> 42:14.116
[SPEAKER_00]: So I go through and I'm an actor nine or wherever the dirty sewers are, right?
42:14.196 --> 42:15.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I forget whatever one that is.
42:16.677 --> 42:22.040
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just haven't had a lot of time to play it, but I'm going through, and I like the permanent minion thing like it.
42:22.180 --> 42:32.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And I even changed like I was doing endurance charges, and last week I was talking about the node that does 8% chance of deal double damage, and it also comes with my characters chaos resist.
42:34.546 --> 42:36.649
[SPEAKER_00]: So, two things were kind of bugging me.
42:36.669 --> 42:42.595
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't know, like, a lot of, sometimes I'm in the mood to interact even though I like zero button builds.
42:42.695 --> 42:44.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I'm in the mood to just do something.
42:46.461 --> 42:51.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, whether it's holding a button down or whatever it is, while I'm zero buttoning, right?
42:51.202 --> 42:55.343
[SPEAKER_00]: So, like, I like seeing my character interact, like I've always loved the idea of spiritual aid.
42:56.903 --> 43:03.404
[SPEAKER_00]: So, doing something like that, but this, this, I don't know, maybe it's because I can't customize my controller buttons, you know?
43:03.884 --> 43:08.705
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is, but I'm like, I just want to play with the left analog stick.
43:08.725 --> 43:11.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I literally don't want to hit any buttons unless I have to pick something up.
43:12.666 --> 43:15.969
[SPEAKER_00]: So, for those that don't play, left analogs, they're called, obviously.
43:16.009 --> 43:23.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This button LB is what your healing flask is, and on console slash control of support, there's something called the smart flask system.
43:23.836 --> 43:29.240
[SPEAKER_00]: So, if LB, which is my health flask, is empty, but I have another health flask anywhere else.
43:29.300 --> 43:31.422
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll automatically use the next health flask in line.
43:32.183 --> 43:34.625
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, right now, I just have five health flasks because who cares?
43:36.206 --> 43:39.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I'll probably just keep that because again, who cares?
43:42.196 --> 43:42.917
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I wanted.
43:43.017 --> 43:46.800
[SPEAKER_00]: So I actually got rid of, I was originally going to hold down enduring cry.
43:47.641 --> 43:49.602
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I also had that one notable, I forget.
43:49.622 --> 43:56.709
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a small minion damage cluster where minions get increased damage if you've used a minion skill recently.
43:57.850 --> 44:04.976
[SPEAKER_00]: And so my minion skill that I would use that isn't that isn't being triggered would be signal prey.
44:06.216 --> 44:20.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, right from Predator Support, but even that like once I have that then I'm like I have before seconds I got hit a button, so I actually got rid of that cluster for the minion damage for the bonus for when you use it.
44:21.382 --> 44:36.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, recently and then I also got rid of my endurance charges, so then I went down and actually got that cluster of chaos Resist and Minimum damage just because there's no point me going down the left side of that trio went down the middle on the west side.
44:36.698 --> 44:41.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and just for more If case and now I'm I'll I'm doing that and I have
44:42.624 --> 45:05.137
[SPEAKER_00]: switched up gems a little bit so now it's it's funny because now I have withering step and phase run along with steel skin linked to automation as we're now in the middle but it's a little it's it's way too much when I get the buff yeah that buff for interacting with those chests so um
45:06.378 --> 45:06.998
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, it's good.
45:07.018 --> 45:08.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just AFKing it now.
45:08.579 --> 45:17.245
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I'm sure overgraded if I decide to go deep into maps, but like there's zero difference right now.
45:17.265 --> 45:18.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not playing similar styles.
45:18.365 --> 45:20.106
[SPEAKER_00]: Very tanky, very offensive.
45:20.487 --> 45:25.129
[SPEAKER_00]: And my second ascension gave me all the manner reservation that I need.
45:25.189 --> 45:30.613
[SPEAKER_00]: So now I've got it all and it's nice and my zombies are amazing.
45:30.773 --> 45:32.133
[SPEAKER_00]: And but it's just zombies and
45:34.795 --> 45:38.036
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have over 75 chaos res, which I haven't had forever.
45:38.096 --> 45:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel nice.
45:38.797 --> 45:50.161
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just with the tree and my chaos column, and then I think that actually puts me to like, what does the chaos column give?
45:50.321 --> 45:51.601
[SPEAKER_00]: 17% chaos res.
45:51.621 --> 45:54.662
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in minus 44 right now and it sucks chaos.
45:55.103 --> 45:55.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so yeah.
45:56.463 --> 46:21.338
[SPEAKER_00]: how do you get negative chaos doesn't go negative with everything else yeah yeah it does yeah it doesn't then the goal is to just get to see I think I have I think that means I have about 16% chaos resist right now and I that's probably from the tree and by accident yeah yeah but this nice it like it was nice just hanging out with melegaro and he does his little shots and I don't have to move because I have 41% at the time or whatever it is so
46:21.798 --> 46:45.884
[SPEAKER_00]: it's been fun like it's in it's enjoyable for what it is um like my opinions to path one haven't changed but sucking it up and playing it and just focusing on the stuff that I enjoy like I still strongly prefer path to but yeah did you do any of the underwater stuff or are you just of what I haven't totally ignoring the under what the last thing I want to do while going through the campaign is make the campaign longer so I'm not doing any underwater stuff.
46:46.264 --> 46:47.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I was the same way through the campaign.
46:49.345 --> 46:50.406
[SPEAKER_00]: the chest though.
46:50.426 --> 46:51.127
[SPEAKER_00]: They give you the buff.
46:51.507 --> 46:52.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they give you tons of rarers.
46:53.068 --> 47:01.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, they get, I would end all of them because there's two different types that you can click on upwards of chest and the rarers pop up and it's great because you're killing some rars.
47:01.815 --> 47:06.198
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing that bugs me is I'm like, why are you making me click it again?
47:06.878 --> 47:08.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I clicked the chest.
47:09.240 --> 47:09.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I killed the guys.
47:10.581 --> 47:11.302
[SPEAKER_01]: Chest should open.
47:11.322 --> 47:12.142
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the loot.
47:13.012 --> 47:14.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, they make me click it again.
47:14.873 --> 47:15.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.
47:15.293 --> 47:18.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm in a strong box has been around for a while.
47:18.735 --> 47:22.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's funny though.
47:22.798 --> 47:37.926
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like those little details that no matter how a game comes up, just makes you think rushed right those little details that are missed the things you're talking about with your build and progress and things syncing together between mechanics and they've already done this.
47:37.966 --> 47:38.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Why isn't this something?
47:38.687 --> 47:40.488
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, just those little things that make you
47:41.862 --> 47:48.367
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not like our opinion matters and they'll fix what they fix and that's fine, but it's just those little details that's like, you know, we've done this before.
47:48.407 --> 47:49.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't we include that.
47:50.468 --> 47:52.370
[SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to think like, am I.
47:53.592 --> 48:07.236
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what I would prefer, because I feel like I was eating my words a little bit from a past episode where I said that it was, I was looking forward to seeing how this went because maybe now they're showing that they can manage two games and things will be good.
48:07.276 --> 48:10.056
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if it was from the release or what it was when I made that comment.
48:10.777 --> 48:14.238
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not saying that they're not, because the fact is it's a really cool league.
48:14.258 --> 48:15.698
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got some really good old ideas.
48:15.718 --> 48:17.098
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done some really cool stuff with it.
48:17.558 --> 48:22.100
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe that Path of Exile 1 is just getting, I'm hoping, Path of Exile 1 just gets
48:23.340 --> 48:27.822
[SPEAKER_01]: test time, less whatever, because they can sort of have fun and mess with path 1 a little bit more.
48:27.842 --> 48:28.222
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
48:28.442 --> 48:36.806
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm hoping that that's, I'm hoping that that's not carrying over to Pui2, because I think the Pui2 started to go in a really good direction for loot.
48:37.206 --> 48:39.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, very, very much away from what PadavexL1 is.
48:40.168 --> 48:44.090
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if PadavexL1 continues to be what it is for loot, which I really don't like.
48:44.150 --> 48:47.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the moving in the direction of click a chest to get the good loot.
48:47.691 --> 48:48.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think that's silly.
48:48.772 --> 48:49.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I killed a bunch of rares.
48:49.752 --> 48:50.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the good loot from the rares.
48:51.433 --> 48:55.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Excel 1 or 2, sorry, doesn't seem as much like that.
48:55.255 --> 48:59.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like Path of Excel 2 rewards me when I do a tougher fight.
48:59.597 --> 49:08.582
[SPEAKER_01]: When I fight a rare, I feel like I'm getting, and it's maybe because I'm starved more for gear and puey, too, which that's not a bad thing either.
49:09.642 --> 49:11.703
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I say starved for gear, though, hold on.
49:11.723 --> 49:12.784
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm comparing that to puey one.
49:12.844 --> 49:16.586
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying that I'm just comparing it to what I've got in puey one.
49:17.823 --> 49:30.940
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they have a couple of cheats that they've done in Path 2, right, like clicking on a rare chest, you're guaranteed a rare item, clicking on a magic chest, guarantees a magic item, which in itself then hurts itself because now I'm only clicking on rare chests, right?
49:33.424 --> 49:41.695
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Path of Exile 2's biggest biggest benefit, like remember half the base types aren't even in the game yet.
49:42.056 --> 49:44.459
[SPEAKER_00]: So it still could be a massive priority.
49:44.479 --> 49:49.726
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of the biggest things that Path 2 is always going to have over Path 1 if it stays this way.
49:50.667 --> 50:03.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if more base types get added and they still ends up being too much is only the highest version of that item, the base type, all the best relevant version of it you're not going to have like in
50:07.168 --> 50:23.682
[SPEAKER_00]: class will be a good one, but I mean, this in Path of Exile, it's the same way for in Path of Exile one for everything, but like you're not going to have a lesser life-flast drop when large life-flast are available, which I think is an important one, but I don't think they've done it with these types or anything else.
50:23.722 --> 50:24.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, that's the
50:24.543 --> 50:31.207
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's, yes, so when us rattling scepter drops for my thing, I'm not going to get a level 10.
50:31.547 --> 50:31.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
50:31.987 --> 50:34.649
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting level 14 or whatever level I'm on.
50:34.669 --> 50:39.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're never going to get stuff that's too low for your character, it's always going to be at the level.
50:39.392 --> 50:45.336
[SPEAKER_00]: And that already, like if you wanted that, imagine what the loot would look like.
50:46.556 --> 50:48.918
[SPEAKER_01]: If the, it seems like an easy enough change.
50:49.578 --> 51:01.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the problem is with path one, they have the, um, what's the system, there's like that, that modifier that's always there for specific base type.
51:01.709 --> 51:02.309
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the close it?
51:02.870 --> 51:03.050
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
51:03.767 --> 51:04.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it not an implicit?
51:05.208 --> 51:05.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, maybe it is.
51:06.128 --> 51:08.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's where it's always on the the type.
51:08.429 --> 51:12.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Like an implicit is always this is always chirp on the item.
51:12.650 --> 51:15.311
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so yes, so then the implicit like gets better.
51:15.331 --> 51:16.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you have like a buckler.
51:16.852 --> 51:20.493
[SPEAKER_00]: It has 3% movement speed and then 6% movement speed and then 9% movement speed.
51:20.833 --> 51:47.039
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously over time you only want the 9% movement speed, you'll take the 3% as you're moving up to the 9% but once the 9% starts dropping you don't care about the 6% you don't care about the 3% you only care about the most relevant look at like an R con shield for example you want the 12% right all elemental resist you don't want the 8% or the 4% or whatever the increments are yeah so once so in path 2 once the 12% is available or once that 9%
51:50.160 --> 51:50.320
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
51:50.360 --> 51:51.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would that happen?
51:51.381 --> 51:52.002
[SPEAKER_00]: They do one.
51:52.442 --> 52:00.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, because in past one, you can get an item level 86 of your level 3 unit speed buckler.
52:00.389 --> 52:00.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
52:00.609 --> 52:10.658
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you have, there's a lot that's going to change in the background, but if you, like you basically have to remove those base types path 2 is made it so that they only have one rattling sector.
52:11.602 --> 52:11.822
[SPEAKER_00]: right.
52:12.002 --> 52:14.483
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have three different versions of a rattling sector.
52:14.523 --> 52:21.004
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just now you have one rattling sector and that item level is going to increase with every time.
52:21.404 --> 52:21.645
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
52:21.705 --> 52:23.905
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's always always going to be huge.
52:23.965 --> 52:24.925
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's with that.
52:24.965 --> 52:25.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
52:25.165 --> 52:27.826
[SPEAKER_00]: We shouldn't have gotten into loot again because that's always my thing.
52:27.866 --> 52:31.927
[SPEAKER_01]: But um, no, no, I brought up loot because I have struggled with loot in this league.
52:32.407 --> 52:32.647
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
52:33.027 --> 52:34.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's I guess it's frustrating.
52:34.908 --> 52:35.388
[SPEAKER_00]: It's
52:35.935 --> 52:39.057
[SPEAKER_01]: the difference between the games like, um, I think.
52:39.077 --> 52:41.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel we too is going in a good direction for loot.
52:41.958 --> 52:47.241
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Peelie won, uh, at least with this point one patch to me took a way left turn.
52:47.641 --> 52:52.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a bit annoyed by it because I'm just thinking what, I don't want to click a chest.
52:52.644 --> 52:53.624
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to click an item.
52:53.644 --> 52:56.285
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to click something on the ground to get the loot.
52:56.425 --> 52:58.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to kill that enemies for loot.
52:58.066 --> 53:01.268
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was the source of the loot, not the quality of the loot.
53:01.688 --> 53:04.571
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was the source of being in the head mat for me.
53:05.131 --> 53:28.931
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was the lack of a reward for doing an encounter it was my Fighting three or four massive rock dudes that are so tanky and take me for every kill and then magic on drugs crazy Yeah nothing drops and then I go and I click a friggin a biz chest after this point one and I get like eight currencies
53:29.899 --> 53:37.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I just- the chest are cool, like make them give me something else, but that shouldn't be where my stuff comes from.
53:37.967 --> 53:40.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think that chest should be where my stuff comes from.
53:40.790 --> 53:49.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I just- I'm playing the underground stuff searching for things to click because those things to click are what reward me the most stuff.
53:50.749 --> 54:08.717
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how that's how it works and I don't know that that's a good thing like I'm I feel like I'm a bit incentivized You just move faster through the mobs to the things that I can click on the ground Because that will reward me the most and I just I'm not if I'm not a huge fan of that direction And I don't think Pweets who's like that at all.
54:08.737 --> 54:18.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they've done a very good job of Making me feel rewarded for doing the fight so well and When you're using a mercenary who tickles
54:19.666 --> 54:25.693
[SPEAKER_01]: and you have to sit there for like two minutes trying to survive will they kill a rare and then they get a reward for it.
54:25.753 --> 54:33.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like what did I stick it but then I move like five feet to the right and I click on a chest and a pair of boots draw.
54:33.762 --> 54:37.346
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, no, that's not I just I don't know.
54:37.366 --> 54:39.368
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I struggled a bit with it because
54:40.468 --> 54:43.391
[SPEAKER_01]: I can shield charge through a level real fast.
54:44.372 --> 54:44.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
54:45.093 --> 54:46.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what I'm supposed to do?
54:46.154 --> 54:56.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Just not kill stuff and just go around, run, running, clicking all the chests, and then I hopefully will pick up my loot, and then even more so than that because I'm gearing two freaking characters, I'll go to trade.
54:57.646 --> 55:10.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's really tough, so we'll path one a long time ago, started really moving away from loot drops, ground drops, which is too bad because it's dropped.
55:10.389 --> 55:23.372
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, especially when you start out in the Genesis tree to things and you start like it's all about like earning it through other means, right, all the different crafting and nothing wrong with crafting and that's where you get your great items, but they've always had a problem.
55:24.192 --> 55:30.559
[SPEAKER_01]: having valuable ground loop and crafting is for me always the way I look at crafting is let me use it to
55:32.700 --> 55:53.209
[SPEAKER_01]: improve the gear that has already dropped for me like I you know what I mean I don't want a perfect I don't expect a perfect item to drop an item that drops and I never have to use any currency or anything on it or a crafting mechanic that's not my expectation especially now with this new crafting system this all flame crafting awesome I get a four or five
55:58.411 --> 56:02.154
[SPEAKER_01]: four for shots to see if I get a better item now that I throw this result on it.
56:02.174 --> 56:05.216
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's fun to find it, you know, to finish off my item.
56:05.757 --> 56:07.158
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not finding that stuff.
56:07.963 --> 56:10.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that stuff isn't coming from the things that I'm doing.
56:10.805 --> 56:14.749
[SPEAKER_01]: And so now I'm just running around trying to click on loot, or sorry, click on chess.
56:14.769 --> 56:21.094
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think Peery too, it made me more excited to play the Peery too league when it comes out later.
56:22.675 --> 56:27.860
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, I'm telling myself the Peery one has, less time to test, less time to do that stuff.
56:27.960 --> 56:31.683
[SPEAKER_01]: It's more of a testing ground for them and they can try new things.
56:31.723 --> 56:33.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hopeful that that's what they're doing.
56:34.565 --> 56:36.467
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was a tough one for me on this one.
56:37.278 --> 56:38.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, yep.
56:38.639 --> 56:42.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sorry to hear that because I know you get really excited for path 1.
56:42.181 --> 56:43.381
[SPEAKER_00]: So power, buddy.
56:43.961 --> 56:45.002
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's true.
56:45.022 --> 56:45.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
56:45.422 --> 56:52.786
[SPEAKER_00]: But we, uh, I'm curious where path 1 like we talked about this will be good to go where path 1 goes from here because in six months.
56:53.406 --> 56:53.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
56:54.527 --> 56:58.129
[SPEAKER_00]: Is when path 2 is expected to come out right like after November December there.
56:58.209 --> 56:59.549
[SPEAKER_00]: They really want to do a 20 to 26 release.
57:00.930 --> 57:06.819
[SPEAKER_00]: They said they're not foreign to do any more lead launches for path 2 until point 1 or until 1.0 and so
57:11.260 --> 57:13.041
[SPEAKER_00]: is this the last lead for path one?
57:13.842 --> 57:14.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
57:15.202 --> 57:16.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they just keep updating this?
57:16.463 --> 57:18.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Or do they come out with another one and two?
57:18.284 --> 57:19.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on tolber, maybe?
57:19.585 --> 57:20.305
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fast.
57:20.846 --> 57:22.267
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're trying to rush or not.
57:22.327 --> 57:22.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, rush.
57:22.987 --> 57:31.052
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're trying to push a deadline to get one point out by the end of the year, I don't think they have the manpower to also do another league.
57:31.732 --> 57:40.559
[SPEAKER_00]: and to come out with the point, the one point or that they are hoping to point up, come out with in December.
57:40.639 --> 57:48.125
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to see, because if all their manpower is now getting shifted to path 2,
57:48.625 --> 58:00.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, they're not going to ignore things that need to get fixed or balanced in path 1, but in terms of manpower and focused, development changes that need to be made for path 1.0.
58:02.817 --> 58:09.102
[SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting to see when the changes come for path 2 and what changes come to path 1.
58:10.062 --> 58:10.623
[SPEAKER_00]: In the meantime.
58:11.975 --> 58:14.478
[SPEAKER_00]: because it's funny like you bring up testing ground.
58:14.538 --> 58:20.985
[SPEAKER_00]: People path one, hopefully maybe being a path, testing ground for path two feels like it's just been equal on both sides.
58:21.005 --> 58:26.151
[SPEAKER_00]: They like something in path one moves in path two, but if they like something in path two, boom it's in path one.
58:26.532 --> 58:28.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't mind that.
58:28.354 --> 58:28.895
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind that.
58:29.455 --> 58:35.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, especially when you're talking quality of life stuff, what I wouldn't want is they're like, I really like this ascendance, so let's just move it over.
58:36.262 --> 58:39.726
[SPEAKER_01]: But the quality of life stuff, absolutely, I think is awesome.
58:40.307 --> 58:46.113
[SPEAKER_00]: There's been lots in my, just play experience that I've really been missing in from like that I love about path to.
58:46.973 --> 59:02.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, just little things like the checkpoint systems or the dodge roll system, explanations and definitions, like, you know, like it's just, there's, I'm, I'm, I'm excited to get in the path too, but I'm going to give this character shot, I'm enjoying having the zombies back, right?
59:02.119 --> 59:10.422
[SPEAKER_01]: I am curious how you feel like it in maps, like I want to know if that, whatever, the thing that's funny is we talked about that one thing where they effectively like five minions with this,
59:11.202 --> 59:11.542
[SPEAKER_01]: change.
59:11.762 --> 59:14.303
[SPEAKER_01]: But that wasn't like a patch note change.
59:14.343 --> 59:15.483
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't like a big thing.
59:15.523 --> 59:19.204
[SPEAKER_01]: That literally was just like a post, a little post about like oh yeah, we've changed this.
59:19.684 --> 59:21.504
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm curious if it's noticeable.
59:21.765 --> 59:27.386
[SPEAKER_00]: I am too like it's tough because it's coming with this change with sockets as well.
59:27.646 --> 59:31.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, so far I haven't cared about the league, but I never care about the league, it's not a criticism to it.
59:31.387 --> 59:32.087
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just I want to
59:32.727 --> 59:37.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Finish campaign and then I want a map and if your league takes me out of my mapping experience.
59:37.290 --> 59:43.193
[SPEAKER_00]: Well Maybe it goes core maybe it doesn't Mercenaries I've been clicking on them because you know, you know me.
59:43.233 --> 01:00:00.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I like fighting enemies in the map and so It took me a few interactions to figure out how to actually fight a mercenary Because there's nothing in there Like the tells you well I haven't liked anything that they have equipped
01:00:01.442 --> 01:00:07.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, I just take their items and take their, like, little red or the, but yeah, I don't care about it transmute or two alterations.
01:00:07.764 --> 01:00:08.544
[SPEAKER_00]: I have plenty of those.
01:00:08.564 --> 01:00:08.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
01:00:09.164 --> 01:00:12.405
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking and I'm like, there's nothing that says fight.
01:00:12.926 --> 01:00:13.626
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through.
01:00:13.686 --> 01:00:14.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hovering.
01:00:14.166 --> 01:00:15.486
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing all this stuff already.
01:00:15.506 --> 01:00:17.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's higher or take it's fight.
01:00:17.667 --> 01:00:19.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, but they don't have anything I like.
01:00:19.348 --> 01:00:20.088
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to hire them.
01:00:20.987 --> 01:00:22.007
[SPEAKER_00]: They're on their way to move.
01:00:22.688 --> 01:00:23.028
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not?
01:00:23.088 --> 01:00:23.988
[SPEAKER_01]: What would be the damage?
01:00:24.388 --> 01:00:25.868
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.
01:00:26.049 --> 01:00:27.169
[SPEAKER_00]: They look stupid.
01:00:27.209 --> 01:00:29.630
[SPEAKER_00]: They have crappy items and I don't like their gear.
01:00:29.690 --> 01:00:30.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
01:00:30.270 --> 01:00:31.210
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm strong enough.
01:00:31.630 --> 01:00:33.871
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to spend gold on that.
01:00:33.891 --> 01:00:34.571
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
01:00:34.631 --> 01:00:36.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't see the higher button.
01:00:36.612 --> 01:00:40.493
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hit the higher button and then there's not a fight for the sake of fighting button.
01:00:40.933 --> 01:00:42.533
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first few, I just totally ignored.
01:00:42.854 --> 01:00:47.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm apparently you have to take a night and then you meet like, oh, higher.
01:00:47.175 --> 01:00:48.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Or take item either of those.
01:00:48.515 --> 01:00:50.076
[SPEAKER_00]: But there wasn't a higher button.
01:00:51.696 --> 01:00:51.956
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
01:00:52.036 --> 01:01:06.962
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was looking and sure eventually I found where the higher button was but if I didn't like if I was bottom left This is like invite or recruit or something and then it would but there was a type of an interaction thing for them I was trying to get them to fight them and hire them.
01:01:07.042 --> 01:01:08.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to take one of the items
01:01:10.068 --> 01:01:10.448
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember.
01:01:10.468 --> 01:01:11.909
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's the same thing.
01:01:11.949 --> 01:01:17.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I beat them then it drops and then they're with me for Like a couple zones.
01:01:17.310 --> 01:01:28.633
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, for three instances I wanted to get rid of half of them and I couldn't figure out how to dismiss them Yeah, you have to go back to your hideout to do it in the top right corner when you're hiring them though.
01:01:28.673 --> 01:01:30.273
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a checkmark box that says
01:01:32.482 --> 01:01:34.523
[SPEAKER_01]: always recruit or just recruit.
01:01:35.303 --> 01:01:36.944
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to know what that button does.
01:01:37.264 --> 01:01:38.525
[SPEAKER_01]: I tick it on, tick it off.
01:01:38.585 --> 01:01:39.345
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes no difference.
01:01:39.385 --> 01:01:40.746
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can't figure it out.
01:01:41.266 --> 01:01:44.148
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't tell you anything when you mouse over top of it.
01:01:44.288 --> 01:01:45.928
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if I'm supposed to use it or not.
01:01:46.689 --> 01:01:53.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I spent a few interactions looking at the HUD and the legend and all that controller sport wasn't.
01:01:54.353 --> 01:02:12.167
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I just now I like look I'm like oh what I don't even look at their items unless it's like fully linked I just take whatever transmute they have fight them sometimes they're gear is better as you're progressing You'll find better gear than that drops So you can take like boots if they happen to have a base like that you want
01:02:12.907 --> 01:02:19.894
[SPEAKER_00]: All my years coming from all the chests that the, um, the league is adding, the league for it.
01:02:19.914 --> 01:02:23.717
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, honestly, that's all I'm doing though, and I'm not going out of my way for them.
01:02:23.737 --> 01:02:25.979
[SPEAKER_00]: If I see them on the mini map, I'm not writing to them.
01:02:26.119 --> 01:02:27.340
[SPEAKER_00]: It's only if they're within like,
01:02:28.001 --> 01:02:28.821
[SPEAKER_00]: my clear screen.
01:02:29.402 --> 01:02:31.883
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm five or six levels over above.
01:02:31.923 --> 01:02:32.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:02:32.503 --> 01:02:35.464
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not going into the league mechanic underwater.
01:02:36.264 --> 01:02:39.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm only fighting mercenaries within my reach.
01:02:40.706 --> 01:02:44.728
[SPEAKER_00]: And like all the XP, the bonus XP that I'm getting.
01:02:45.088 --> 01:02:45.468
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,
01:02:46.622 --> 01:02:47.002
[SPEAKER_00]: moving.
01:02:47.142 --> 01:02:49.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not stopping for enemies unless it's a rare enemy.
01:02:49.624 --> 01:02:50.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm walking through everybody.
01:02:51.004 --> 01:02:52.505
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm skipping a lot of enemies too.
01:02:52.865 --> 01:02:56.127
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm five or six levels over and all I'm doing is fighting who's around the chest.
01:02:56.547 --> 01:02:56.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:02:56.707 --> 01:02:59.408
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wonder where we'd be like if I didn't.
01:02:59.488 --> 01:02:59.988
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:03:00.008 --> 01:03:02.570
[SPEAKER_01]: You're way over level to do the league mechanic.
01:03:02.590 --> 01:03:02.750
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:03:03.331 --> 01:03:24.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm curious if my builds even good now because right we're talking about zombie changes and then we're talking about how powerful I am with all the white sockets and then it's like, well, maybe it's just because I'm overleveled in not a bit matters right it's all good so I'm going to keep playing it as long as you're playing it all play it and see what's up and then when you moved path to I'll move to path to and everybody's happy.
01:03:24.883 --> 01:03:27.144
[SPEAKER_01]: Patu for me, a move will be at the end of the year.
01:03:27.384 --> 01:03:35.168
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when they come out with 1.0, I can't say myself go, and I will say that the last League of Path of Exile 2 was my favorite.
01:03:35.589 --> 01:03:39.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I played like five characters to end game.
01:03:39.230 --> 01:03:44.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I had so many, this last Path of Exile 2 League was just so good.
01:03:44.373 --> 01:03:46.754
[SPEAKER_01]: 0.5, awesome, loved it.
01:03:47.134 --> 01:03:50.816
[SPEAKER_01]: That is what my normal lifespan is for Path of Exile game when it's good.
01:03:52.491 --> 01:03:53.612
[SPEAKER_01]: a number of characters in.
01:03:53.753 --> 01:04:01.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew with this league with Path of XO1 that was unlikely I would play two characters besides our private league because there were two new other games I was playing Kingdom Come.
01:04:02.042 --> 01:04:05.706
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew I wanted to get into Powerworld like there's just other games I want to play.
01:04:05.827 --> 01:04:07.909
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of XO1 isn't going to be the
01:04:09.329 --> 01:04:21.679
[SPEAKER_01]: the the driving behind my video game play and I wish I hadn't been on Saturday because I guess when I switched the power world at nine o'clock I was like, oh, I could feel my shoulders be like, okay, this is a video game's feel.
01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:23.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Path of Exile 1 was not doing it.
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:24.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I did like it after 0.1.
01:04:24.721 --> 01:04:26.322
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited to still try it this week.
01:04:26.763 --> 01:04:28.925
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping I'm going to be able to improve my character.
01:04:30.145 --> 01:04:41.988
[SPEAKER_01]: But especially because the things that I would wish for are not coming, so I'm not going to get the things that I want, like I'm not going to get something that tells me in game when I put this bow on if the damage has been increased or decreased.
01:04:42.108 --> 01:04:43.069
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that's not going to come.
01:04:43.109 --> 01:04:43.969
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just not their thing.
01:04:46.089 --> 01:04:50.171
[SPEAKER_01]: But I also picked it, so I'm kind of like, well, this is what they're giving you.
01:04:51.051 --> 01:04:52.291
[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny with the AG.
01:04:52.311 --> 01:04:54.832
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked about the change for the AG and how it finally came after years.
01:04:56.272 --> 01:04:57.873
[SPEAKER_01]: It came, but it's like
01:04:59.988 --> 01:05:05.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Your amount of information is pretty funny because it's not any information at all, except the box that shows you what's currently equipped.
01:05:06.013 --> 01:05:06.333
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
01:05:07.074 --> 01:05:07.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I get it?
01:05:07.534 --> 01:05:10.717
[SPEAKER_01]: But you can at least hover your items and see what they are, right?
01:05:10.897 --> 01:05:14.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, because you can interact with it in the sense of like swapping the items out.
01:05:14.380 --> 01:05:15.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you can get that.
01:05:15.681 --> 01:05:17.443
[SPEAKER_01]: So you get a box that shows you your items.
01:05:17.903 --> 01:05:18.804
[SPEAKER_01]: You can move them in and out.
01:05:20.245 --> 01:05:23.008
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're not getting any other information about the AG, like that's it.
01:05:24.687 --> 01:05:32.033
[SPEAKER_01]: So I appreciate it, it's really good, but it's not a whole lot of helpful information besides swapping out or understanding what you currently have on them.
01:05:32.473 --> 01:05:35.155
[SPEAKER_01]: But the mercenaries, I feel like I need more information.
01:05:35.936 --> 01:05:44.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to get it, so I just have to figure out what I don't want to do is follow, you know, do what everybody does because they say to do it.
01:05:44.643 --> 01:05:46.625
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
01:05:47.488 --> 01:06:06.639
[SPEAKER_01]: and I'm just struggling with that because when my character I can figure out stuff myself but when you talk about hidden stats and information that's not provided to you upfront it's very difficult to try and make an informed decision and go like okay this is why I'm making this change and I can see that it improves their damage versus while I read this online and somebody said put this thing on them.
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:07.520
[SPEAKER_01]: So
01:06:08.511 --> 01:06:10.131
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I will be continuing to play.
01:06:10.191 --> 01:06:13.212
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm into, like, tier 10s right now.
01:06:13.252 --> 01:06:15.973
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just about to start working towards tier 10s.
01:06:16.013 --> 01:06:25.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to just get to the bottom left corner so I can get my stupid altars going, but, and some stones, but it's right.
01:06:25.215 --> 01:06:27.215
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a certain order you're supposed to go in.
01:06:28.176 --> 01:06:29.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to Google that.
01:06:29.436 --> 01:06:33.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, I asked online in 2021, and you can go wherever you want.
01:06:33.217 --> 01:06:34.337
[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to know where the,
01:06:35.332 --> 01:06:46.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the loo and whatever things are apparently there is you can go in any direction you want I just don't want to make a heart I remember doing that the first time that being said I mean if there's a real real real common sense way to do it.
01:06:46.078 --> 01:06:48.540
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the way you're supposed to do it You know what I mean?
01:06:49.200 --> 01:06:52.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know what the common sense way is because it doesn't tell me
01:06:54.703 --> 01:06:56.065
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm 2021 does.
01:06:56.545 --> 01:06:58.648
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, thankfully, we have it.
01:06:58.688 --> 01:06:59.529
[SPEAKER_01]: 2021 is awesome.
01:06:59.569 --> 01:07:01.191
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a cross-peally one MPOE 2.
01:07:01.251 --> 01:07:02.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it so much.
01:07:02.653 --> 01:07:07.599
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're looking for just chill people to hang out with, it's a really good global chat to hang out in.
01:07:08.660 --> 01:07:11.143
[SPEAKER_01]: But they have been helpful for me, figuring some of the stuff out.
01:07:11.762 --> 01:07:28.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Just as a heads up though for listeners, whether you're joining any of our guilds or wanting to join those global chats, path 2 is crossplow for path 1 is not so if you're on console, you're not going to be, I mean, discord's a different thing, but if you're on PC, you're not going to talk with console or vice versa for.
01:07:28.669 --> 01:07:28.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:28.829 --> 01:07:29.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:29.129 --> 01:07:29.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
01:07:29.429 --> 01:07:31.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And same with the guild, they're not cross compatible.
01:07:32.610 --> 01:07:32.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
01:07:33.150 --> 01:07:34.591
[SPEAKER_01]: Peary 2 is much better for that.
01:07:35.891 --> 01:07:38.572
[SPEAKER_01]: I can only speak for PC versions of Peary 1, 2021.
01:07:38.592 --> 01:07:38.652
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
01:07:40.628 --> 01:07:42.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm still gonna play it.
01:07:42.812 --> 01:07:46.457
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't say I'm excited to play it, like I can't say that I'm, you know.
01:07:47.497 --> 01:07:48.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:07:48.198 --> 01:07:49.219
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not overly excited.
01:07:49.359 --> 01:07:52.462
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to be able to step into it and feel like I'm getting an improvement.
01:07:52.502 --> 01:07:55.965
[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't give point one a huge amount of time because I didn't have a whole lot of time last night.
01:07:56.125 --> 01:07:58.968
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we obviously recorded a recording today.
01:07:59.008 --> 01:08:00.470
[SPEAKER_01]: So I will probably play more of it.
01:08:01.291 --> 01:08:04.694
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know when because I'm like, I'm going to be just me with the girls.
01:08:04.734 --> 01:08:05.515
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll be hanging out.
01:08:05.535 --> 01:08:06.496
[SPEAKER_01]: So I probably won't play a ton.
01:08:06.536 --> 01:08:08.698
[SPEAKER_01]: But I am curious to see how it goes.
01:08:08.718 --> 01:08:10.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to see if there's ways to improvement.
01:08:11.941 --> 01:08:14.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm I'm really struggling with this one.
01:08:14.766 --> 01:08:16.108
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I it's weird to me.
01:08:16.128 --> 01:08:23.520
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I said it already a couple times, but I just it's throwing me off that my Alice strategies completely different to start a league.
01:08:26.659 --> 01:08:29.242
[SPEAKER_01]: all in the hopes of improving the thing that is my build.
01:08:29.562 --> 01:08:34.927
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like I'm chasing an item that I, you know, I really need this unique to drop them.
01:08:35.047 --> 01:08:40.693
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I could just go and pick it up on trade, which apparently you can buy warrants for,
01:08:43.815 --> 01:08:59.346
[SPEAKER_01]: mercenaries on the trade site like you can actually buy I guess that I guess you can Sorry when you're fighting I think it doesn't have until Matt maps you get a rematch button that shows up at the bottom of the Yeah, I think you're actually right.
01:08:59.386 --> 01:09:01.327
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's actually take item
01:09:03.183 --> 01:09:06.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Rematch and a camera was I think that's all it is.
01:09:06.724 --> 01:09:10.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I can't remember what the bottom right one is, but do you get a vision like any item?
01:09:10.505 --> 01:09:11.705
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like I'm not taking anything.
01:09:11.725 --> 01:09:13.165
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care for anything.
01:09:13.225 --> 01:09:14.165
[SPEAKER_00]: I just have this.
01:09:14.185 --> 01:09:15.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can't find it.
01:09:15.446 --> 01:09:17.506
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to take some crappy magic item.
01:09:17.886 --> 01:09:25.868
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but you get this rematch option where eventually I guess you get a warrant and then you can sell the warrant, but the idea I had this is just
01:09:27.176 --> 01:09:30.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not trying to be just a bitch about it because I know it's really good and people can use it.
01:09:30.717 --> 01:09:45.062
[SPEAKER_01]: But the idea of me going on to the trade site to put in the skills and the supports that I'm hoping to get or the skills that I'm hoping to have my mercenary have and then get the warrant for them and then go and fight them.
01:09:45.162 --> 01:09:46.423
[SPEAKER_01]: I find that so bizarre.
01:09:46.563 --> 01:09:46.843
[SPEAKER_01]: I just.
01:09:48.258 --> 01:09:50.520
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just I don't want to do it that way and I love trade.
01:09:50.540 --> 01:10:06.071
[SPEAKER_01]: I go there all the time to find my gear But for some reason to find the mercenary the thing that is my build to do it that way is nuts to me because Somebody said that at some of his joking that our next privately should just be all luminaries that would be awful
01:10:07.265 --> 01:10:27.722
[SPEAKER_01]: because they're it's so aren't you gated it's so it's not the same as like oh it's gonna take you a minute to get a weapon like you know we've all played a tack based games or a tack based skills where you're only as good as the weapon that's dropped for you last um sure but I it's just weird to me when you're mercenary it's not even like
01:10:29.373 --> 01:10:37.940
[SPEAKER_01]: It's odd, it's odd to me that I have gone through so many tests of trying so many mercenaries and only like two or three have felt like they can do any damage.
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:39.041
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so.
01:10:39.441 --> 01:10:43.824
[SPEAKER_00]: They're more of an attack weapon than they are skill gem.
01:10:44.865 --> 01:10:46.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and then they don't level with you.
01:10:46.527 --> 01:10:47.147
[SPEAKER_01]: So exactly.
01:10:47.167 --> 01:10:48.128
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's that's yeah.
01:10:48.268 --> 01:10:49.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, all of it.
01:10:49.509 --> 01:11:00.698
[SPEAKER_00]: They act in a way, but People are using them as their skill gym Because especially because it is like like right that is a it's an odd It's not combo.
01:11:00.858 --> 01:11:01.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:11:01.618 --> 01:11:04.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's the idea behind what the ascendancy is.
01:11:04.741 --> 01:11:13.267
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's cool And I think that even as point one is where it's at that I don't think that this is the final version of what the luminary looks like because
01:11:14.308 --> 01:11:35.179
[SPEAKER_01]: it's still the case where if my if my luminary dies that's it for the map um i can't even test luminaries in the same map which is nuts because you can't swap out you can't swap out mercenaries um as soon as you have one in you load the map that's the only one that will work inside that map and so i don't like that like i don't understand it i don't
01:11:39.261 --> 01:11:47.765
[SPEAKER_01]: but I'm hopeful that this is just the start stepping point for where the luminary ends up, because I am not a big fan yet.
01:11:49.386 --> 01:11:51.227
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, but I'm not gonna play another character.
01:11:51.247 --> 01:11:54.409
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a lot of people are talking in 2021 that were like, oh yeah, I switched to this.
01:11:54.449 --> 01:11:57.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna play this till they fix I was like, yeah, I got power, I'll go play something else.
01:11:57.811 --> 01:11:59.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna let one other character.
01:12:00.982 --> 01:12:06.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be leveling another character just being pissed off that my first character didn't work, so it would just make me not happy no matter what.
01:12:07.991 --> 01:12:10.895
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, that's it.
01:12:12.187 --> 01:12:12.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Path of Exile.
01:12:13.628 --> 01:12:15.189

01:12:15.329 --> 01:12:16.350
[SPEAKER_00]: So good.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
01:12:16.670 --> 01:12:16.891
[SPEAKER_00]: 365.
01:12:17.471 --> 01:12:18.132
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just sleepy.
