Looks like 99% of my builds are fucked. :C My experience of running about 25 lvl 75 maps in a row was.... well, incredibly bad. I dropped one +1 lvl map (76 precinct), a handful of 75 and mostly 70-73. There really seemed to be a significant change in the droprate distribution moving from 73-74 up to 75, such that 75 drops were possibly worse than my average droprate for 74s. That all changed on my last two 75s ofc when I ran them with vara and vndesity and dropped a 76 into 78 and 77, but ofc neither of those maps dropped a 77 or 78 despite being 100%+. I ran so many maps trying to get a stable 75+ map pool but I'm not actually sure its possible without buying large numbers of high maps. Maybe the requirement for "economic activity" to sustain maps is intended? | ||

Theorycrafting using the current tree doesn't seem all that valuable atm I don't think. Unless you stay inside duelist and ranger which I haven't heard too much about them changing even though I think ranger is the worst part of the tree. | ||

And my new LLD build looks like it also might get wrecked by the Marauder changes, but I cant tell yet. Not sure what I wanna do lol. All the builds I've been super early phase theorycrafting have started as marauder or scion. | ||

I'm really interested in all the corrupted gems and what builds could be done around those. That's probably what I'm most excited for. Well until I heard about the passive tree rebalancing. | ||

I know the SEA PoE localization is through Garena so you might have to obtain it that way. Definitely check out the official site for more info. Or google it. | ||

Its in the Diamond Supporter newsletter that gets linked on reddit. Getting Dex isn't that hard, it's more of a problem that all the good bow or projectile nodes are on the opposite corner of the tree. Though I could just scale ele damage and life. I really just need to see the new tree to make a decision. I could just make a bow scion... but she wears pants. | ||

Well, if the content in the link posted ealier turns out to be true then the inherent item quantity for maps doesn't influence map drops, which would be ridiculous.

Why would anyone even want to get this game on steam? Is it even possible to have mutiple accounts with the steam version or is it locked to your steam acc? Dunno, for games that have an alternative to steam I would always get them from this alternative source. In this case: Yes, you can just download it from the official side as well as making an account there. | ||

Its pretty hard to multi-account with steam though, you have to either have multiple steam accounts (doable but inconvenient) or use the normal client. | ||

And since a lot of these downsides have something to do with everything locked to one account and not freely accessable game data, I prefer using non steam versions for games that aren't steam-only. I still use steam for games like CS 1.6 and I don't really have a problem with it to have single online games locked to one account.

But it really depends on your play style whether that's enough or not. | ||

Steams upsides: Automatic updating, faster launching, steam friends communication including voice, steam wallet integration, etc. Steam friends integration is really fucking useful btw. I mean, if you hate steam because ur biased against the program thats totally your prerogative but there really aren't reasons not to use steam. You can just buy character slots if you seriously have issues with the virtually infinite free ones they give you. OT: Want patch notes qq | ||

Steam is more of a problem if you hort a lot of games on your account, the loss if getting hacked is bigger. I lost two steam accounts due to hacks but I never got hacked in any other website/game _ever_. That's probably my biggest reason to spread games out. | ||
