Path of Exile Patch 1.04 - And a Merry Christmas to you!

[LochnarITB]

Happy New Year to you MonTy!

I'm pleased with the game right now, and feel like as I get higher in level, the happier I am, even though I'm really frustrated with the upgrade process at this point. We'll see how it goes moving forward, but DAMMIT MAN! I get tired of staring at the same piece of gear for too long.

Haha, I hear ya. Just think how nice it'll feel after you get that upgrade! On my 90 I've been wearing the same gear for 6-7 months. Not sure if I'll ever "find" an upgrade.

I do plan on jumping back in the game soon, but going to try self-found. The other clan I joined was fun, which focused more on Hardcore and mapping, but I've found I do enjoy it more when I go about my own business. Also most of the wealth and good items I've amassed has been through trading, which at the end of the day, doesn't feel too accomplishing. Going to try a new self-found account and see how it goes. First character is going to be a CI Cold Crit Caster (FP + Ice Spear). Should be fun trying to see if I can pull off ES/CI self-found untwinked!

The last few weeks I got hooked on racing. I would race solo 1-3 hour races, even the party races, and I decided I really like the early progress on toons. I always chose witch and generally had the same skills (fireball/spark/zombies) and the same passives, but the real fun was that each drop might be an upgrade. Of course, I never did all that good, best was 4 points for 2nd tier clvl and killing the pagan god, but I had fun. I even won one of the raffle prizes, the tricorne (one point before I got the one based on points ). Had I started a little earlier, I would have even tip toed my way to the craftable ring. I'm hoping season six starts soon.
