So Far, So Good! Patch 3.25 First Impressions | Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur

My first impressions one day into patch 3.25, and it's looking good!

Looks like we may be in for a great league

[ian]

Ironically probably the best league start I've had in years. 9 hour mark and not a single crash or DC from start to now. Lucky for sure.

[Tibasu]

Heard the crashing was when enemies used Enduring Cry. Act 2 gave people trouble because of Oak and the Bears using it. I didn't have any issues, so I guess it only affected some people

[Liratan]

The oak thing was his enduring cry if he cast it you crashed, I’m currently a CI build that helped Oak

[HenriHakl]

I'm still in campaign - it takes me a while to get through everything. But the first divine came to me, via a shipment. So I'm onboard with it ^_^

[blech]

I’ve haven’t had much time yet due to work and family but so far it’s been such a blast and a nice change of pace going between essentially two games bridged. Loving what we are getting from the town whether from ships or BM for sure 👍🏽

[buggydust]

im really loving it! experimenting with shipments has been fun. i like the incremental goals of upgrading the town, it's been pushing me to finish the campaign faster so i can get access to all the resources.

The server 'crashing' were due to a rendering issue for me. Turns out as soon as I switched from Vulkan to Direct X 12, everything was fine. Weird stuff.

standard report: did some 16s and a 17 last night.

- gladiator feels great. dont think I built enough damage on mine to test (they auto-full-refunded like 8 of my chars with the patch so had to yolo trees), but very solid. shield I made a long time ago with 2300 armor is now 2700 from either base type changes again or quality changes. retaliation skills feel weird but hits hard.
- jugg feels good with the endurance charge change. I was wearing a fourth vow on both of them anyway, so dunno how good the 15% armor to chaos thing is. facetanked Lycia on my delve one with no damage mods, 0 deaths. didn't expect that. that particular T17 doesn't feel like trash now, which is nice. ain't trying abomination because why
- T1 life on amulets is like 100-123. rings are almost that high. very nice
- warden (caster, lol) feels good. had to pick up some points to get my suppress back, drop zealotry for purity to get ailments+res, and re-yolo a tree and somehow still felt like more damage. barkskin is no joke, although it seems to lower evasion depending on stacks, then go back up again. probably well-tested as usual™
- flicker and Kaom's buffs are nice. definitely appreciated. enjoy the league, beta testers! o7

[Tibasu]

I guess there are two complaints I have with the mechanic:

I can't see disenchanting amount without putting the rares into the tab, which is a bit tedious adding and removing the items to see which give me 2k+ thaumaturgic dust.

Activating the Bismuth ore makes my screen insanely dark, to the point where I can barely see some of the darker colored enemies. I might have to adjust my brightness just for this league

[Trypan]

Well, league started with a meme build, finished the campaign with 50+ deaths. And now I swapped to a bleed gladiator and its such a relief to not have to die every 2 seconds lmao

[brocstrecker]

I’m having a blast so far! Had some crashes due to oak as well. I ended up just helping him and not going alira like I was planning and my resists were a little rough to get right at first, but it all worked out! I love the city aspect and hope they somehow merge hideouts into the town! Like you have a house in town that you can click on the door and enter your hideout. Completely unnecessary but it could be a cool touch.. though I don’t personally play poe for the immersion. Pirate bosses have had some cool mechanics, but… my town isn’t feeling as safe as it was at first.. SASAN IS COMING! Kingsmarch will be in ashes! 😂

[grigsie]

If I ever wanna be in a lot of pain again I’m gonna start marauder again next time lol

[xXVintersorgXx]

One minor bug I saw.. dominus and malicai health bar had the phasing animation over it the whole fight.. was kinda annoying

Major issues are game kept crashing in loading screen on dx11. Works fine on dx12. Had to keep deleting my dx11 cache to get towns to load

[SweebyMignonne]

The black markets 3rd item gave me spell suppress movement speed life and res all generally middle tiers but these boots are gonna finish acts and white maps easily

[TheTerspet]

Only bug i Encounterd is eviacerate Not dealing any damage at all, the Wave clearly Hits the target but nothing Happens Sometimes, Not gamebreakingly offen but offen enough to notice

[juliangrabowsky]

Running Vaal Cold Snap, aleady got a prettydecent fractured dagger and a Replica Dragon Flight (both via trade) for a whopping total of 14 chaos.
and I'm not even in maps.
i will likely just farm campaign or delve for now as a Hardware problem is stopping me from continuing (somewhat).

Choose Oak, butwill later switch once i get the gear for CI

[boblogiii]

I ended up updating all my drivers restarting my computer and not crashing after that...

[AB-dgtb]

People who complain about server issues on launch day are idiots.

[BenceBori]

I only found visual bug(s). sometimes the effect of the retaliation skills are (partly) invisible. I'm playing Eviscerate for the massive bleed and sometimes the wave effect not showing only the cracks on the floor :D
