the ringed city is fine af but i haven't enjoyed the painted world of ariandel that much tbh



haven't played any soulsborne game except ds3 so far, should definitely get into it

what about sekiro? worth or not?


last boss in painted world of ariandel is my 2nd favorite boss fight in all series

sekiro is pretty damn good too, but overall too many differences to bundle it in the "soulsborne genre" IMO

if you have a ps4 whatever bloodborne costs is worth it

I feel like giving my 2 million cents on this question

It only feels bad when you cant do it quick I think

Making a new char and speeding through content isnt that boring for me tbh

You hear people say, "omg I hate the leveling through acts"
but maybe thats because they did it so much or maybe
they just dont like running to get to the quests,
and then you have people who say, "I love maps"

Combine the progress and the map aspect and you got Allience's situation at the surface.
Im sure creating the build is a lot of fun for him too.


Tl;dr this whole game is a grind. what is there really to enjoy about it is the real question


sure when you play it for the 10th time but allience must be at his millionth time by now :D
creating the build is actually the main source of fun in poe for me, that and talking shit with the guildies

I do create a lot of builds, but I don’t feel like it’s complete until I see it to the end. That and, I was a SARC for about 8-9 years. So grinding is basically what my life was lol, wake up at 330, run 6 miles , eat, PT, work. Everything was just a continuous grind.

you mean sister friede ? ye that one is quite amazing, but i didn't get hooked to the whole snow thingy, it lacks the level design i love in more "constructed" parts of the game imo

also i'm a pc gamer *how tough are you* *i played ds3 with keyboard and mouse*
don't have any consoles other than my old ps2 for playing tekken 5 with the bois :D

Wtf only 1.5 hours from 99 to 100?

This really changes my perspective... even with what I was saying I didnt know it could be this fast... so... uhhh yea 1-100 is nothing

I’ve actually done that once this league. It took longer to hit 99-100 than normally doing maps with good sextants tbh.

Here is basically why:
1. Have to set up buy orders and adamantly snipe +1 watch stones that are short in supply for a week or two. (60 ex in stones)
2. Realistically preroll all the required sextants for maps it’s beyond portals sextant +shrine +30% pack + 12%/6pack mons (took me 7.5k+ awakened sextants)
3. Buy 100+ canyons and roll all of them 28%+ pack size with beyond (50 ex investment).
4. Calculate time it takes to roll sextant (6 hours to roll and sort/ not to mention it took 5 days to get all the sextants (beyond was 1/80 average for me). Time it takes to roll maps 2 hours, ended up rolling 300+ Canyons.
5. Also snipe prophecies (I spent 5 days to snipe 5 quad tabs, got lucky and bought 2 quad tabs from one guy at once)
6. Also snipe scarabs since no one bulk sells them (roughly a week)

Investment - 160+ ex
Gains - 6 exa drops

Normal mapping from 99-100:
Every 24sets I do with beyond (5c), 4 sextants (25-30c), and 25%+ pack size gives me 9%. Takes me normally 35-40 mins per set. I actually do loot from these maps.

Let’s say each map rolled is 15c (map. Chisels, vaal) = 45 + 30 + 15 = 90/3 = 30 c per map.

On average it’ll take me 440-500 minutes of map time for 99-100. Factor in rolling time of 2 hours, tab clean up time or 1 hours, provided I already had sextants and props (no scarabs). It’s a 10 hour grind that can be split up into three work days.

For those characters that suck at mapping (ie my boss killers), I have set up live whoops for pure chayula stones when I play on my mapper. Set threshold to 2.5 ex, collect around 100 stones or so and host them. If I can kill chayula, I’ll run in full gear. For builds that are risky, I just put on a high life max res setup with dallia’s and 35 socket to level enlightened and awakened gems.

You never lose any money running pure breaches, it takes roughly 120 to get to 100 from 99 (if you died once). And I make back 80-100 ex in gems.

People are willing to pay 2.5 ex/5run or .5 ex/run. Basically 5 people = 1 stone.

Yeap, you make a ton of money from doing that but you need a lot of rich people on the league to run with.

I also hate doing what you did with those map mods just to juice them up cause the cost and time is not really worth doing them.
