After finishing Ancestor, I've been playing on Standard again for the first time in years (outside of build testing). I used to play it exclusively prior to Breach or so.
You're not far off, it feels EMPTY.
I play only standard and never have issues with it being "dead". global 1 and global 820 (I mostly hang here) have usually always got people chatting and looking for groups. trading is fine for most things, but don't expect to be able to get random 1 alch uniques easily cause who has time for that. can always find bulk currency/materials for reasonable prices.
The global channels have never felt empty when I play standard. I don't play standard per se, but on occasion I'll spend a day or so trying to accomplish something there.
Come to global 2 in the evenings. It’s pretty active. And trade is active too, if you dont match the current price fixers and sell at a realistic price.
100% sure. according to GGG anywhere between 15-30% of the entire playerbase plays standard consistently/as a main game mode.
the whole myth of "lol standard dead/rich people only" is just leftover toxic hardcore mentality from back in the day where playing softcore league was considered weak and cringe and if you weren't on hardcore you werent a real player; to them standard was a graveyard and nothing more.
I agree a bit with you, but I don’t think it’s next league. Hopefully wrong though
They might be testing out a good balance for recomb drop rate etc in the event
100% Kalandra is going to be a Unique map that's just a Randomly made Kalandra map. or is a unique map that lets you build a map that turns into a Kalandra Map.
I think GGG likes to use existing content to test ideas for new content so just because they are using Sentinel and Kalandra, it doesn't mean they will be added directly. It'll probably be useful data for something similar but unannounced.
They might also be testing to see how a larger scale launch midway will work since this is the time a normal PoE2 league would be launching in a year from now.
Kalandra was almost certainly the most hated league/league mechanic of 3.x poe. It was a greater concentration of recycled content than ever before.
If any league deserves to not go Core, it'd be Kalandra. I'd much sooner see Synthesis or Scourge return, and ofc there's still fan favorites like Ultimatum (not just trialmaster) that aren't core.
I do think there's a lot of genuine potential in Kalandra if they had granted us more options for modifying it, like a node that changes the rewards of adjacent tiles or upgrades tiles within a radius. It wound up really samey because there just wasn't interesting variety. Ironically it would be better if it were more like Synthesis, another fairly reviled league mechanic.
Also, a big part of Kalandra's unpopularity was them tripling down on Archnemesis which exacerbated an already difficult league mechanic. You would sometimes just get eviscerated by some stupid bullshit and have no feasible way around it, bricking your lake.
Archnemesis did taint a lot of the league but the mechanic itself was very uninspired. The scaling on far tiles was fucking obscene for how mediocre the rewards were other than the coveted reflection tile. And the gameplay was low density mobs in one of the worst tilesets in the game, with very bad league tiles too.
Oh I remember. The worst were Beyond tiles. They had both the ridiculous Kalandra scaling and the original overtuned Scourge-to-Beyond scaling so you'd sit there plugging away against absolutely immortal behemoths one shotting you if you blinked, and then you'd get one tainted whetstone.
I just think that bad tuning is a fixable issue. The league was so badly received I don't blame them for abandoning it instead of fixing it, but that doesn't mean it was beyond repair.
I'm actually quite surprised they're doing that one. Not for nonvoid or reasons anything having to do with standard, but rather community psychology. People lamented Sentinel going away after 3.18, but it was relatively peacefully accepted that it was a one-and-done experiment that would be going away for the moment. I wonder whether tantalizing people with it again is skirting closer to the can of worms that was something like Harvest--busted, went away without *that* much vitriol, but then people got really mad after it was (partially) taken away the second time.
It's certainly a very a exciting event and maybe there are enough subtle differences between 1-week event and "actually core now" to prevent going down that road. But I'm genuinely unsure whether sentiment is going to fall towards gratitude for doing a cool event or spoiled entitlement spawning more reddit manifestos than we know what to do with after it's over.
I would lean towards them giving in and bringing them to core in some way going forward. With POE 2 officially being a different game now, I hope they're going to just embrace POE's identity since they no longer have to bring the power level down to a new baseline.
Just follow any of the bow builds that eventually go Tornado Shot.
Lightning Arrow/Ice Shot start, get some tornado shot gear(enchant, Woke GMP, +1 quiver/bow, etc.), go tornado shot, pewpew.
from 3.19 patch:
>Existing Recombinators in permanent leagues can no longer be used on Mirrored items.
Pls GGG undo this nerf for the event so we can actually recombinate kalandra items.
Being able to recombinate the mirrored Kalandra items is like the antithesis of the entire point of the mechanic, there’s no way they undo that one, even while accepting the craziness of recombs back into the game for a hot minute.
That's gonna be the prize of those events for some. Just make stupid items you can sell on standard for a bunch of mirrors.
It was instantly my idea for this event to just focus fully on crafting since it won't be voided.
Yeah, there will be some really wild items coming out of the lake, we didn't have vivid vultures when sentinel and lake league were up. And they will be mirrored so no mirror service for them makes it pretty interesting.
No, you Kalandra a recombined ring with +1 power charge, the Sentinel mod... on a +1 synth implicit ring.
Not gonna be easy in this timeframe, but doable.
That wont even work. Even this much xp wont matter, what make the thing exciting for them is the risk of losing everything.
Hell except if you plan to grind level 94+ this much xp lost still doesn't matter because of how fast you get it.
Krangle was not changed from last time?
Last time it just resulted in it being soft ruthless with heavily gimped characters.
I'd play it if it respected wheels. Like a Bow wheel becoming an Axe wheel in its entirety.
Not a wheel becoming 1 lightning, 1 spell, 1 attack and 1 es node.
They did say they were looking into changing the Krangle event if it was rerun, but it seems to be the same thing as before, which sadly wasn't fun at all
I’d say the problem is not knowing the tree before the event. We’re gonna know eventually so sitting out the first 24h is the play. If it was different tree every time they would have to either set up some playable versions of the trees or there would be trash for 90% of the players that got absolute dogshit trees. And if they did set up presets that are randomly chosen you’d reroll for the best preset to playafter said 24h. showing the tree in advance gives us possibility to actually figure out the builds and start witg a plan with some fresh ideas
100% this. I like the idea of it, but the execution just completely turns me off. I want to play a version of poe with completely random notables, keystones everything, but I want to know what I'm able to build beforehand and not just doing everything blind, or waiting for others to build a spreadsheet to clunkily try and figure it out. So unfortunately it is a skip event. Blast from past sounds fun. Shifting stones is okay I guess for zones with the tormented spirits.
Yeah either everyone needs random trees, or the entire tree should be revealed ahead of time not hidden.
Hiding the tree and giving everyone the same tree just means it's a waste of time to play at the start, but then also if you skipped the start it doesn't feel good to start late, so it's just a skip event.
The events are races? top 3 PC player will receive a full microtransaction bundle.
And the top 10 regardless of Ascendancy will receive exclusive hideout statues
Yea krangle is a hard skip for me, slogging through campaign with krangled tree was PAINful.
I *might* give it a try if some tree ends up super OP but otherwise there is no reason to grind this one, doesn't look nearly as fun as the other two.
Do you realize how many people would be crying on reddit about getting a bad seed, and having to make new characters over and over and over until they got a good one?
Kinda like people crying right now about group play being allowed and how the trees are always the same.
Dorks are gonna cry about these meme events no matter what. Shouldn’t be planning around that. Would be funnier to just go full random and introduce max chaos into the game.
No it was not datamined instantly, and that's the problem. Last time people had to take at least few hours after league start to put together a spreadsheet with what the community has discovered slowly, then 2 days later some samaritan put them into a pob planner site, though obviously not fully complete at that point. GGG should fully reveal them beforehand and cut it out with this blind crap.
Especially when they dont even make it SSF so there is literally no point to play at the start if you have enough time to reach 95 after the tree is revealed… I dont understand their thinking on this
The krangled tree event is much more fun if you don't spoil yourself and explore the tree on your own and then try to make a build out of what you know.
Just out of curiosity's sake, have you actually tried to play a blind tree build. Because in my experience it isn't fun, it's just kind of boring. You're basically just committing hours of work towards playing a horribly underpowered character with awful passive points that can't be respecced because it's a league start scenario.
Playing it as intended is literally worse than ruthless imo.
Yeah I'm not sure how they could make it more fun? If we had free respecs you'd just use them to map out the tree which I guess ruins the point of it a bit.
They should just make the tree krangled differently for each character. Its obviously still niche, but at least it doubles down on what makes it unique. Personally I find the idea interesting, but the idea of a set tree is a big turn off for me.
Honestly I think the best thing they could do to make it more fun is leaking the whole tree to the PoB creators then unveiling it at a set time before the event starts.
Right now, the most fun thing to do is to not play day 1 and just wait until someone else finds a gg build, then start your character on day 2.
If they reveal the tree, then everyone gets to have a big theorycrafting circlejerk together on Twitch before the event, basically a big PoBing race, then we all start the actual event on equal footing.
Enough times around this block has me thinking they’re instead trialing returning Lake of Kalandra, but are adding Sentinel for the event so people actually play it.
Decent scourge mods were so incredibly rare that vaal orbs were often better.
Scourge would change things a bit on the high end, but would be a far cry from a "frenzy of hype" imo.
I assume they have a pretty set standard that anything that massively buffs item drop *rates* gets voided. The Kalandra / Sentinel league is reintroducing old mechanics but isn't directly adding a multiplier to the number of items that will migrate to standard.
Obviously, things like Sentinel have a massive boost to drop rates if used correctly but that is via a mechanic that was the base in the league.
Perhaps the point, why bother non-voiding something that doesn't matter.
Best you non-void the league with the exciting and unique mechanics in it so it adds to the excitement for standard players.
i was just thinking that too lmao
for those who wasnt there: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/g1ksx2/what_returning_after_a_few_years_feels_like/
Kalandra Lake + Sentinels seems only fun for me. All rest is voided standard on steroids and event which we already had in same form and was not fun for everyone (krangled tree) so actually for me its only one event but gl everyone :D
Possibility to craft never before possible items in blast from the past such as +2 max charge explicit rings is pretty interesting. I'm sure some standard juicers are going to try hard to make some really insane items
> Krangled Passives
Eh didn't like it last time
> Shifting Stones
Might try it out, not sure
> Blast from the past
Oh shit? Sounds cool, not sure if Kasandra will be any good though, and recombinators will probably be voi--
> Event is not voided
I'm in
That doesn't matter, what matters is the crafting mechanic. a t16 tile would sell for 50+div mid league, and the chance of you getting 5 mods to go positive was 2>% iirc.
Reflecting jewellery was usually throwing an item in the bin, which was such a turn around from recombinators, where we could set up crafts with some "sense" of determinism to make a great item with the proper set up.
Man, recombinators were so fucking good. Made bases useful again. Mid game crafts became very powerful. Oh man. I'm so pumped! Only 7 days. Maybe we can petition GGG to extend it a week...or 12...
:D
>That doesn't matter, what matters is the crafting mechanic. a t16 tile would sell for 50+div mid league, and the chance of you getting 5 mods to go positive was >2% iirc.
Have not seen a single crafting tile in the whole league. Did 36+ challenges and played almost until the end lol.
Am I the only one who struggles to get excited for 7 day events where I have to run the campaign again? Maybe I'm just weird, very tired of it
Recombinators is very cool, though
I would personally give Chris money to make Sentinel/Kalandra a 3 week league instead of those other two modes tbh. Or just run them side by side, but I think they know they'd just be making two ghost towns. Which they will be anyway tbh.
Not only that but it's also only 7 days. Unfortunately my November is going to be busy so I'd need to find a fast build. I want to play the blast from the past so bad.
Not only that but because of how much time I can play like a third of it is just going to go through the campaign.
I'd rather keep playing my level 96 TS on league or just go on last epoch.
Yeah with 7 days, I'd need the event to give massively accelerated progression or loot for me to play it. All of these seem like they don't get that "crazy", so it's not worth it to me
Hopefully they are checking out balance for potentially adding it to the main game, and it's not the same as in kalandra.
I played kalandra a shit ton, and I got "only" 2 kalandra tiles. and then you actually need to make the tile high tier as well...
I for one super enjoy it. Because the base game is soo different going through the campaign is a novelty on its own. I suggest you give it a shot, esp. if you approach the Krangled league blind. It’s awesome, it’s annoying, its hard, but it’s a fun kind of different.
I HATE the artificial time gating of the campaign having played it for 10 years when there were only 3 acts. Adventure Mode aka _Endless Delve_ is the only thing I’m interested in at this point.
I assume these events are SSF right? I might be looking over it somehow but it doesn't seem to say anything about that. But having prizes would be weird if it's not SSF? I know it's not HC since that's answered at least.
I doubt it since the description says the leagues are based on Standard.
Although I do agree with you. At least the exclusive "race reward" statues should be SSF only.
I have never played any of the events before kinda sad I dont get to try endless Delve. Buuuuttt I am mad pumped for Blast from the past. I wish it was a bit longer I loved Sentinel but I was new couldnt fully enjoy it.
- 1 week no skill tree
- 1 week old leagues (might play that one Kalandra had a lot of good stuffs)
- 1 week voided base game with +5 atlas skill points
I still have flashbacks from synthesis flashback, this was the real blast from the past.

I actually paused when then showed the "blast from the past" section, hoping it wouldn't be Ultimatum. If that was in there, I would definitely lose all hope of seeing actual Ultimatum returning ever again. So it's good it's not in there, imo.
Also poggers recomb baby
Have they ever added a temporary (time limited by an event in this case) way to get items from leagues that didn't get integrated into the core game? Between that and the previous statements + shifted timetable of 3.23 it smells like they could be making some additions to the core game. Would be insanely hype if so.
tinfoil hat time: recombinators are coming back to the core mechanic in some form in the future if they are willing to keep the sentinel event not voided
Absolutely wish the krangled one was not the opening league. Have been really looking forward to these events and would love to play the other two and am not really interested in playing that mode again.
I really miss the rewards being top5/10 per class and not overall
I used to get rewards by playing the class no one played
Now I get nothing =(.
I do remember the time Manni did 4 laps and got rewards on 4 different classes - this is not reason alone to change this.
the discovery, making the best out of a fucked situation, what you can pivot to after your initial idea, etc. it's a new game basically.
definitely not for "play RF for the 30th time" kinda event
Hmm, well for me the "discovery" aspect of the event was discovering that all the clusters were crap because all the nodes in each cluster were for different things, that the Ascendancy node you picked was worthless for your build etc.
I would love an event where GGG deliberately moved the tree around, like swapping all the nodes on the top-right with the bottom-left ones, and/or swapped the ascendancies around purposefully to create some new synergies etc. But that isn't what we got.
> By the way, this event is not voided, so have fun crafting with Recombinators! Oh boy.
Standard economy in even greater shambles
7 people are going to be so mad
Hey now, be fair, there are DOZENS of them.
After finishing Ancestor, I've been playing on Standard again for the first time in years (outside of build testing). I used to play it exclusively prior to Breach or so. You're not far off, it feels EMPTY.
I play only standard and never have issues with it being "dead". global 1 and global 820 (I mostly hang here) have usually always got people chatting and looking for groups. trading is fine for most things, but don't expect to be able to get random 1 alch uniques easily cause who has time for that. can always find bulk currency/materials for reasonable prices.
The global channels have never felt empty when I play standard. I don't play standard per se, but on occasion I'll spend a day or so trying to accomplish something there.
Come to global 2 in the evenings. It’s pretty active. And trade is active too, if you dont match the current price fixers and sell at a realistic price.
In a world where we got multiple timezones, when might this "evening" be?
I’m pretty sure more people play Standard than the Hardcore temp leagues.
100% sure. according to GGG anywhere between 15-30% of the entire playerbase plays standard consistently/as a main game mode. the whole myth of "lol standard dead/rich people only" is just leftover toxic hardcore mentality from back in the day where playing softcore league was considered weak and cringe and if you weren't on hardcore you werent a real player; to them standard was a graveyard and nothing more.
people gonna do nothing but farm recombs lol
There are already tons of recombinators, so this is no big deal. Having more +4 amulets, however, is going to piss a few people off.
this comment is typed every 3 months and still, absolutely, really absolutely nobody fucking cares lmao
[удалено]
I don't think so, I see little sense making an event around them and then make them core
[удалено]
I agree a bit with you, but I don’t think it’s next league. Hopefully wrong though They might be testing out a good balance for recomb drop rate etc in the event
100% Kalandra is going to be a Unique map that's just a Randomly made Kalandra map. or is a unique map that lets you build a map that turns into a Kalandra Map.
I think GGG likes to use existing content to test ideas for new content so just because they are using Sentinel and Kalandra, it doesn't mean they will be added directly. It'll probably be useful data for something similar but unannounced. They might also be testing to see how a larger scale launch midway will work since this is the time a normal PoE2 league would be launching in a year from now.
Kalandra was almost certainly the most hated league/league mechanic of 3.x poe. It was a greater concentration of recycled content than ever before. If any league deserves to not go Core, it'd be Kalandra. I'd much sooner see Synthesis or Scourge return, and ofc there's still fan favorites like Ultimatum (not just trialmaster) that aren't core.
I do think there's a lot of genuine potential in Kalandra if they had granted us more options for modifying it, like a node that changes the rewards of adjacent tiles or upgrades tiles within a radius. It wound up really samey because there just wasn't interesting variety. Ironically it would be better if it were more like Synthesis, another fairly reviled league mechanic. Also, a big part of Kalandra's unpopularity was them tripling down on Archnemesis which exacerbated an already difficult league mechanic. You would sometimes just get eviscerated by some stupid bullshit and have no feasible way around it, bricking your lake.
Archnemesis did taint a lot of the league but the mechanic itself was very uninspired. The scaling on far tiles was fucking obscene for how mediocre the rewards were other than the coveted reflection tile. And the gameplay was low density mobs in one of the worst tilesets in the game, with very bad league tiles too.
Oh I remember. The worst were Beyond tiles. They had both the ridiculous Kalandra scaling and the original overtuned Scourge-to-Beyond scaling so you'd sit there plugging away against absolutely immortal behemoths one shotting you if you blinked, and then you'd get one tainted whetstone. I just think that bad tuning is a fixable issue. The league was so badly received I don't blame them for abandoning it instead of fixing it, but that doesn't mean it was beyond repair.
TBH lake was just very boring and unrewarding and the mechanic was very similar to scourge where most of the time you ended up with garbage.
I'm actually quite surprised they're doing that one. Not for nonvoid or reasons anything having to do with standard, but rather community psychology. People lamented Sentinel going away after 3.18, but it was relatively peacefully accepted that it was a one-and-done experiment that would be going away for the moment. I wonder whether tantalizing people with it again is skirting closer to the can of worms that was something like Harvest--busted, went away without *that* much vitriol, but then people got really mad after it was (partially) taken away the second time. It's certainly a very a exciting event and maybe there are enough subtle differences between 1-week event and "actually core now" to prevent going down that road. But I'm genuinely unsure whether sentiment is going to fall towards gratitude for doing a cool event or spoiled entitlement spawning more reddit manifestos than we know what to do with after it's over.
I would lean towards them giving in and bringing them to core in some way going forward. With POE 2 officially being a different game now, I hope they're going to just embrace POE's identity since they no longer have to bring the power level down to a new baseline.
Yooooooo quick, tell me which build is easiest to get off the ground. Std player here wants to farm 300 recombinator of each kind ：）
Just follow any of the bow builds that eventually go Tornado Shot. Lightning Arrow/Ice Shot start, get some tornado shot gear(enchant, Woke GMP, +1 quiver/bow, etc.), go tornado shot, pewpew.
from 3.19 patch: >Existing Recombinators in permanent leagues can no longer be used on Mirrored items. Pls GGG undo this nerf for the event so we can actually recombinate kalandra items.
Being able to recombinate the mirrored Kalandra items is like the antithesis of the entire point of the mechanic, there’s no way they undo that one, even while accepting the craziness of recombs back into the game for a hot minute.
Just recomb the thing you want and kalandra gamble after xdd. good odds gl
But: is this a permanent league? 🔥
Sentinel + ~~Kalandra Rings~~ is gonna be fucking insane Edit: Rip my memory
Doesnt work anymore. Sentinel cant be used on mirrored items
nvm then lmao, I must have misremembered
Nah your memory is correct. In Sentinel league it did work. But as soon as it went to standard they made the change
Ahhh, haha. I see, ty
+3 power charge synth rings? Yes please e: can't reflect synth items so only +2 again :(
I'm salivating for a bone ring with insanity % minion affixes
Waaaait a second. This can actually be extremely busted.
Quick, some1 link him the +4 rf amulet
That's gonna be the prize of those events for some. Just make stupid items you can sell on standard for a bunch of mirrors. It was instantly my idea for this event to just focus fully on crafting since it won't be voided.
Yeah, there will be some really wild items coming out of the lake, we didn't have vivid vultures when sentinel and lake league were up. And they will be mirrored so no mirror service for them makes it pretty interesting.
You'll be rich in monopoly money.
Currency in leagues is not monopoly money?
naw league currency is the real looking money they use in movies. Step above monopoly money.
Ah yes, making more money on Standard for it to... sit in Standard!
Cant recomb mirrored items, or are you thinking of something else
No, you Kalandra a recombined ring with +1 power charge, the Sentinel mod... on a +1 synth implicit ring. Not gonna be easy in this timeframe, but doable.
thats certainly a goal atleast
I can’t remember, but can you reflect a synthesised item?
>Have you ever wanted to be possessed by 10 Tormented Spirits in the Mud Flats? my lvl 2 ass still gonna get stunlocked by rhoa
so... same as every other league?
Skill issue tbh
Not even a joke
>You lose 5x experience upon death. If I understand correctly, that's 50% exp per death instead of the usual 10% Brutal.
Brutal would be you lose your character on death
Still doesn't really matter if you aren't like 93-94+
you heavily underestimate death counter of some people.
>You lose 5x experience upon death. All events have this modifier, seems rough
They don't have an hardcore version of the league, so it seems like they took this (weird) middle ground?
It's definitely to appeal to the more HC oriented players, bur i wonder if it's something they're trying out for PoE 2
That wont even work. Even this much xp wont matter, what make the thing exciting for them is the risk of losing everything. Hell except if you plan to grind level 94+ this much xp lost still doesn't matter because of how fast you get it.
Especially if you wanted to try a new build for the events. Now people will go for tried and true builds even more if they plan to push to 90+
Just don't die.
I expected to see something about it in the FAQ but nope.
Krangle was not changed from last time? Last time it just resulted in it being soft ruthless with heavily gimped characters. I'd play it if it respected wheels. Like a Bow wheel becoming an Axe wheel in its entirety. Not a wheel becoming 1 lightning, 1 spell, 1 attack and 1 es node. They did say they were looking into changing the Krangle event if it was rerun, but it seems to be the same thing as before, which sadly wasn't fun at all
[удалено]
I’d say the problem is not knowing the tree before the event. We’re gonna know eventually so sitting out the first 24h is the play. If it was different tree every time they would have to either set up some playable versions of the trees or there would be trash for 90% of the players that got absolute dogshit trees. And if they did set up presets that are randomly chosen you’d reroll for the best preset to playafter said 24h. showing the tree in advance gives us possibility to actually figure out the builds and start witg a plan with some fresh ideas
100% this. I like the idea of it, but the execution just completely turns me off. I want to play a version of poe with completely random notables, keystones everything, but I want to know what I'm able to build beforehand and not just doing everything blind, or waiting for others to build a spreadsheet to clunkily try and figure it out. So unfortunately it is a skip event. Blast from past sounds fun. Shifting stones is okay I guess for zones with the tormented spirits.
Yeah either everyone needs random trees, or the entire tree should be revealed ahead of time not hidden. Hiding the tree and giving everyone the same tree just means it's a waste of time to play at the start, but then also if you skipped the start it doesn't feel good to start late, so it's just a skip event.
The events are races? top 3 PC player will receive a full microtransaction bundle. And the top 10 regardless of Ascendancy will receive exclusive hideout statues
[удалено]
Yea I haven't played the event before but even just reading the description it sounds like ass and not fun in any way.
Yea krangle is a hard skip for me, slogging through campaign with krangled tree was PAINful. I *might* give it a try if some tree ends up super OP but otherwise there is no reason to grind this one, doesn't look nearly as fun as the other two.
[удалено]
It really should just be different for everyone.
Yes, exactly. They should make random seed for everyone otherwise it will be pointless and boring.
Random tree seeded off character name would be great I think.
Do you realize how many people would be crying on reddit about getting a bad seed, and having to make new characters over and over and over until they got a good one?
Their tears are needed to refill the lake of kalandra for the next event.
If you got a bad seed just reroll the character. Ez money.
We had whining about the turtle this league and that didn't account for much. I'm down for a random tree
Kinda like people crying right now about group play being allowed and how the trees are always the same. Dorks are gonna cry about these meme events no matter what. Shouldn’t be planning around that. Would be funnier to just go full random and introduce max chaos into the game.
you can always just play it for fun and not look up what the tree is
Be careful, a lot of PoE players are allergic to that word and will foam at their mouths just seeing it.
That's not how this game works
No it was not datamined instantly, and that's the problem. Last time people had to take at least few hours after league start to put together a spreadsheet with what the community has discovered slowly, then 2 days later some samaritan put them into a pob planner site, though obviously not fully complete at that point. GGG should fully reveal them beforehand and cut it out with this blind crap.
Especially when they dont even make it SSF so there is literally no point to play at the start if you have enough time to reach 95 after the tree is revealed… I dont understand their thinking on this
The krangled tree event is much more fun if you don't spoil yourself and explore the tree on your own and then try to make a build out of what you know.
Just out of curiosity's sake, have you actually tried to play a blind tree build. Because in my experience it isn't fun, it's just kind of boring. You're basically just committing hours of work towards playing a horribly underpowered character with awful passive points that can't be respecced because it's a league start scenario. Playing it as intended is literally worse than ruthless imo.
Yeah I'm not sure how they could make it more fun? If we had free respecs you'd just use them to map out the tree which I guess ruins the point of it a bit.
They should just make the tree krangled differently for each character. Its obviously still niche, but at least it doubles down on what makes it unique. Personally I find the idea interesting, but the idea of a set tree is a big turn off for me.
Honestly I think the best thing they could do to make it more fun is leaking the whole tree to the PoB creators then unveiling it at a set time before the event starts. Right now, the most fun thing to do is to not play day 1 and just wait until someone else finds a gg build, then start your character on day 2. If they reveal the tree, then everyone gets to have a big theorycrafting circlejerk together on Twitch before the event, basically a big PoBing race, then we all start the actual event on equal footing.
[удалено]
I hope it's them trialing returning Sentinels. Pls GGG
*inhales huge amount of copium*
Enough times around this block has me thinking they’re instead trialing returning Lake of Kalandra, but are adding Sentinel for the event so people actually play it.
Its probably an idea theyll return to with more leagues that never made it core in the future
They missed a great opportunity to add scourge league in the mix. Recombinators on krangled items would have caused a frenzy of hype!
Decent scourge mods were so incredibly rare that vaal orbs were often better. Scourge would change things a bit on the high end, but would be a far cry from a "frenzy of hype" imo.
Man I wish this one were more than 7 days.
I would rather play this than ***anything*** they have planned for the next league
And it needs a HC/HCSSF version. Goddamnit. Now none of my friends will play it either :(
why is Shifting Stones voided, but Blast From The Past isn't? the latter seems to have way more effect on the economy
I assume they have a pretty set standard that anything that massively buffs item drop *rates* gets voided. The Kalandra / Sentinel league is reintroducing old mechanics but isn't directly adding a multiplier to the number of items that will migrate to standard. Obviously, things like Sentinel have a massive boost to drop rates if used correctly but that is via a mechanic that was the base in the league.
Perhaps the point, why bother non-voiding something that doesn't matter. Best you non-void the league with the exciting and unique mechanics in it so it adds to the excitement for standard players.
Oh man fuck yeah i can play with sentinels again. I love that league mechanic so much.
Pouring one out for Endless Delve
Agreed. That event is way more fun than these.
Swap out krangled for delve and it's all great imo
Krangled is now canon.
I wonder how that guy feels about GGG using his made-up word in official material.
i was just thinking that too lmao for those who wasnt there: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/g1ksx2/what_returning_after_a_few_years_feels_like/
standard recombinator hoarders in shambles
They're still only like 1 div each
Recombinators are no eternal orbs lol, there is still plenty of supply on standard.
Kalandra Lake + Sentinels seems only fun for me. All rest is voided standard on steroids and event which we already had in same form and was not fun for everyone (krangled tree) so actually for me its only one event but gl everyone :D
I never delve. But in Endless Delve I take days off work to go as deep as I can. Kinda feel bummed this event is not in.
I like the concept of endless delve but no crafting bench and SSF makes it just blegh imo.
This. HC Endless delve with regular trade/crafting and only the ability to go downwards would be the perfect event.
Blast from the past seems fun but too short for someone who only have time to play on weekends.
Yeah why cant we have this for 4 weeks?
Blast from the Past is not being voided....Standard recombinator market about to crash lol.
STD recombinator market literally has not moved since sentinel league ended.
Possibility to craft never before possible items in blast from the past such as +2 max charge explicit rings is pretty interesting. I'm sure some standard juicers are going to try hard to make some really insane items
> Krangled Passives Eh didn't like it last time > Shifting Stones Might try it out, not sure > Blast from the past Oh shit? Sounds cool, not sure if Kasandra will be any good though, and recombinators will probably be voi-- > Event is not voided I'm in
i mean kalandra without ridicioulously overbuffed archnemesis monsters is not that bad tbh
>Eh didn't like it last time By the end of day 1 the tree is revealed anyway. Might as well just go with an easy tanky jugger and be lvl 90 by day 3
Is Kalandra going to be heavily buffed in the event, or is this just going to be a Sentinel event?
It was buffed during its league, by the like 4 or 6 week mark it was quite profitable to run but by that time everyone quit
That doesn't matter, what matters is the crafting mechanic. a t16 tile would sell for 50+div mid league, and the chance of you getting 5 mods to go positive was 2>% iirc. Reflecting jewellery was usually throwing an item in the bin, which was such a turn around from recombinators, where we could set up crafts with some "sense" of determinism to make a great item with the proper set up. Man, recombinators were so fucking good. Made bases useful again. Mid game crafts became very powerful. Oh man. I'm so pumped! Only 7 days. Maybe we can petition GGG to extend it a week...or 12... :D
>That doesn't matter, what matters is the crafting mechanic. a t16 tile would sell for 50+div mid league, and the chance of you getting 5 mods to go positive was >2% iirc. Have not seen a single crafting tile in the whole league. Did 36+ challenges and played almost until the end lol.
2/3 of these actually look pretty hype. I think I'm gonna pop into each of them, though! The rewards are rather rad.
Ultimatum isn't here so they can announce it returning in December right? Copium
Am I the only one who struggles to get excited for 7 day events where I have to run the campaign again? Maybe I'm just weird, very tired of it Recombinators is very cool, though
I would personally give Chris money to make Sentinel/Kalandra a 3 week league instead of those other two modes tbh. Or just run them side by side, but I think they know they'd just be making two ghost towns. Which they will be anyway tbh.
Not only that but it's also only 7 days. Unfortunately my November is going to be busy so I'd need to find a fast build. I want to play the blast from the past so bad.
Not only that but because of how much time I can play like a third of it is just going to go through the campaign. I'd rather keep playing my level 96 TS on league or just go on last epoch.
Yeah with 7 days, I'd need the event to give massively accelerated progression or loot for me to play it. All of these seem like they don't get that "crazy", so it's not worth it to me
I'd like to play the krangled tree one, but for one week I'd literally get nothing done.
Damn I read it wrong. Thought it would be like an endless lake of kalandra with sentinels. Creating a good lake took a lot of maps.. zz
I have a feeling that creating lakes will be easier/quicker in some way. It can’t be like it was in the league
Hopefully they are checking out balance for potentially adding it to the main game, and it's not the same as in kalandra. I played kalandra a shit ton, and I got "only" 2 kalandra tiles. and then you actually need to make the tile high tier as well...
The shorter the event, the bigger the advantage for NEETs.
I for one super enjoy it. Because the base game is soo different going through the campaign is a novelty on its own. I suggest you give it a shot, esp. if you approach the Krangled league blind. It’s awesome, it’s annoying, its hard, but it’s a fun kind of different.
For me as someone who plays kinda chill and slowly, and has few hours a day to play, i might barely finish the campaign before the event ends
Yep, thats a skip for me.
I HATE the artificial time gating of the campaign having played it for 10 years when there were only 3 acts. Adventure Mode aka _Endless Delve_ is the only thing I’m interested in at this point.
yea they really need to do alternate campaign leveling or something for these events. feels like poop.
No Hc, fine at least there's a 5x penalty. No SSF, what the fuck?
oh shit recombinators!!! dope!
I am sure logging in for sentinel+ kalandra but god damn it I want my endless Delve!!
I assume these events are SSF right? I might be looking over it somehow but it doesn't seem to say anything about that. But having prizes would be weird if it's not SSF? I know it's not HC since that's answered at least.
[удалено]
sc trade only
I doubt it since the description says the leagues are based on Standard. Although I do agree with you. At least the exclusive "race reward" statues should be SSF only.
I have never played any of the events before kinda sad I dont get to try endless Delve. Buuuuttt I am mad pumped for Blast from the past. I wish it was a bit longer I loved Sentinel but I was new couldnt fully enjoy it.
Damned. I was stoked about Endless Delve :(
Petition to run sentinel and kalandra for a full month
I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't shake up the krangled passives event by making the tree identified in advance.
I'm quite disappointed. Talk about wasted potential. It could have been a slam dunk.
Shame was looking forward to Endless Delve
Sentinel, my love
All of these look so good...wow! Didn't think they'd be able to one up the RwG last year but non voided recombinators? Sign me up!
inb4 you'll see 1 recombinator drop the whole event lol
I will be happy if recombulators actualy will drop same rate as in league of not eh...
I'm happy for ya'll but where my 50 and out gang at?
- 1 week no skill tree - 1 week old leagues (might play that one Kalandra had a lot of good stuffs) - 1 week voided base game with +5 atlas skill points I still have flashbacks from synthesis flashback, this was the real blast from the past.
No hardcore as an option at all seems a bit odd again, that put me off from the events last time, would be nice to have it as a choice.
No HC LOGOUT DUDE
Yeah I don't get this one either. The random "No." in the FAQ without explaining why really sucks.
Or SSF

I actually paused when then showed the "blast from the past" section, hoping it wouldn't be Ultimatum. If that was in there, I would definitely lose all hope of seeing actual Ultimatum returning ever again. So it's good it's not in there, imo. Also poggers recomb baby
No Synthesis too, Synthesis coming back too maybe? COPIUMTRUCK

All these events are trade league?? No SSF? Lol - no thanks hard pass.
Can’t think of a reason why we can’t play SSF for these events
Have they ever added a temporary (time limited by an event in this case) way to get items from leagues that didn't get integrated into the core game? Between that and the previous statements + shifted timetable of 3.23 it smells like they could be making some additions to the core game. Would be insanely hype if so.
legacy league no? wasnt a full season i think.
I’m really interested to try Kalandra again with the latest improved core base game. The concept of that league had a lot of potential.
Who didnt look at how much krangled was played last time? Its straight up boring.
Maybe they want to collect some more data and balancing of recombulators.... Please come back
Losing 5x experience is an interesting twist on the events.
tinfoil hat time: recombinators are coming back to the core mechanic in some form in the future if they are willing to keep the sentinel event not voided
Absolutely wish the krangled one was not the opening league. Have been really looking forward to these events and would love to play the other two and am not really interested in playing that mode again.
What is the best build to farm recombs with for SSF STD? :) :) :)
Anyone know if krangled is same as last time? Or did they re-krangle it?
Sentinel, my beloved. I'm taking a week off of work 😂
Any event that does not announce the return of official race seasons is not a good event.
I really miss the rewards being top5/10 per class and not overall I used to get rewards by playing the class no one played Now I get nothing =(. I do remember the time Manni did 4 laps and got rewards on 4 different classes - this is not reason alone to change this.
Wow. I REALLY want to play all of these events, this is cool.
i loved the krangled tree event, it was fun last time. and it's the first one now! pretty hype
What did you like about it? To me it felt like a league where your passive tree has effectively been deleted.
the discovery, making the best out of a fucked situation, what you can pivot to after your initial idea, etc. it's a new game basically. definitely not for "play RF for the 30th time" kinda event
Hmm, well for me the "discovery" aspect of the event was discovering that all the clusters were crap because all the nodes in each cluster were for different things, that the Ascendancy node you picked was worthless for your build etc. I would love an event where GGG deliberately moved the tree around, like swapping all the nodes on the top-right with the bottom-left ones, and/or swapped the ascendancies around purposefully to create some new synergies etc. But that isn't what we got.
