Verdant, by Eldling 5 track album

ok, @asterionhex.monster - it took me two weeks, but I did the thing:

You may have sparked something.

I've spent every free minute of the last two days working on a "God Rest Ye Adventurers" and "Carol of thy Spells"

I'm working on a few more before releasing, but I can send a preview if interested (always like early feedback).

I fell in love with PoE's WASD as well. Being able to strafe whilst casting feels so good. It makes d4 feel super clunky by comparison, so I'm struggling to play despite wanting to.

The problem is that, once used to it, everything else feels a bit clunky

Here at DICE in Las Vegas, Diablo GM Rod Fergusson drops the news that Diablo IV’s second expansion is coming in 2026

Thanks! Yeah, there isn't any sentiment analysis or anything going on, it's just looking for keywords and filtering promotional spam, haha

Hardcore is an endless well of content haha

There is a " don't sink" joke in here somewhere.

But seriously, this looks awesome!

crushing so hard on all of Betty Jiang’s art in Path of Exile 2, clocked it from a mile away it’s so good

You can make drops more vivid with filters!

No sweat! You've prompted me to do some sleuthing of my own...

Are you just referencing loot filters, or can all audio files be swapped?

It can be an adjustment if you've not played a dodge-centric ARPG before haha

Just one... More... Map

I wasn't crashing, but was getting huge lag spikes (network). I wonder if something was going on...

haha, maybe you just have an affinity for reading the text

I think I like there being a bit of "commitment" to ones build, but this is largely achieved through gear regardless.

oh, sure sure. Well, either way... the name pool is very full haha

Nice. The ascendency points are huge milestones. Congrats

I set up a PoE feed, if interested!

Are there any existing tools for filter building/customization? I'd assumed some of the PoE ones had been ported as it seems the syntax is similar.

Welcome to Wraeclast! I've set up a feed for PoE posts if you are just jumping in:

(also, lmk if you need people to play with 🙂)

I was baffled at how many names were taken. I suspect its the same name pool as the first game.

Yeah, and the passive tree is much more forgiving. It affords experimentation, so build-crafting is far less scary.

The economy does need some work. I think PoE1 being a bit more niche afforded them the capacity to have a trade system that was a little more involved. With the wider audience of PoE2, its a problem.

Its pretty build dependent. I think it also pulled in some people who were expecting to not have to gear properly.

What a perfect day, I'm envious. Where are you in PoE?

Hell yeah!

I've created a feed for PoE2 posts, if interested:

Yeah, of course! Always happy to hang out here as well. Endgame is kinda a whole new beast. I found it a bit discouraging until it kinda clicked. Don't get psyched out!

ah, good tip. I'll boot it up for the event!

If you are an RPG fan, PoE2 is very good. Let me know if you check it out!
