I've got 1200 hours played and I've spent like 50 bucks. The MTX are overpriced, but I'm willing to part to support the game if I'm going to play it this much.
I already did that, though. I put in my $20, got my stash tabs, and there you go. Now they've got to sell me micro stuff on its own merits, not the "I should really put in since it's a good game..." satisfaction. And nothing they're selling is interesting enough to pay the price they ask even when it's at a steep discount.
My Docks group accidentally summoned a Beyond boss. It took us a solid 15 minutes to kill, during which it was chunking us for like half of our health each hit. Hooray for everyone having the balls to stick it out!
So I wanted to try pubbing some piety/Dom runs last night since nobody in guild plays standard. And I search the A3 merc board and 'Piety' returns zero results. "Dom" returns one...with a lvl 80 requirement and a 2 fuse fee. For Dominus. WTB or WTS returns over the limit.
I like this game. But I hate the 'community' so, so much most of the time.
Then make your own party, its what I do. I wanted to do a piety run last night but there were none on the board, so I made my own PA party went to lunaris 2, and headed down the dungeon. By the time the level 3 stairs were found the party was full.

That, right there, is your problem: standard
I have had only good experiences in leagues. Friendly, nice, helpful players all around.
Can I get a guild invite?
My rampage duelist characters' name is Chrowes
My first character into cruel difficulty while just sorta putzing around in the skill tree, but its not bad so far, whether or not he hits merciless is a different story.
I can literally say I have never had a bad grouping experience in this game, I'm not sure how you can. There have been a few times were I've joined a group, asked for a tp and never got one, or any kind of answer for that matter, but it's pretty rare.
I doubt you're gonna find many people playing standard at the moment, since rampage is...the same thing but with a new mechanic.
I'm starting to get kind of salty that ,y ranger ripped. I don't much feel like playing my other chars and i really wanted to take that one far, felt good to play, but I don't wanna make it again at the moment. Maybe I'll try raging spirits again and just be ridiculously cautious of everything not a normal mob.

My level 75-ish ice shotter died to orchard boss. He oen shot me with his slow ball =\. I remember thinking i'm probably too tired and shouldn't do it...
You should pretty much NEVER do the Orchard boss, regardless of level or gear. It's not worth it.

dang.
RIP at 56 to a unique goatman in a corrupted area. don't even know why. one second he's hitting a totem next to me, then there's some kind of explosion and the resurrect button. POE baby, tell me what I done wrong!
frustrating!
welp, third time's the charm for Yorrick the SRS marauder!
I need a new PC because more than 2 players slows me down to beneath a crawl.
Just get a new vid card. I've got an e4300 (OC'd by 1.2 ghz) and only 2gb ram, but a GeForce 760 and the game runs silky smooth on max settings. Just takes forever to load levels.
Seriously, its a 10 min load to start and 2-5min for each zone.

one of the unique goat bosses has a molten shell that hits super duper hard, almost ripped my wander from full health/ES once, glad I know now lol.

that was probably it. he was getting pounded by skulls. he must have cast it and had it blow almost instantly.

You can try turning down your texture quality in the production_config.ini file (documents/mygames/pathofexile depending on your os)
change texture_quality=X to something higher (0 is high, 1 is medium, 2 is low, 3 is verylow, and so on until you get to 5 and higher some effects become really hard to see because its so ugly by that point)

Merciless Ledge side area?
The goatman boss does leap slam/fire trap, meaning it hits for tons and puts fire on the ground. He also casts a very high level molten shell, which when you break will blow you the fuck up.
Like most invasion bosses, he's an unbalanced douchebag.

After my success with my IB tank marauder I came to find myself less than satisfied with the dps. I then proceeded to find a Flame Totem marauder build where the video shows Dominus was smashed into the floor and dumped back into a sewer he came from. I have now beat Dominius on Merciless difficulty without dying. Now what? Maps? I just hit 64 but my gear needs some upgrades still. Titty canons are still capable of obliterating me all to easily.
Dominus was actually a lot easier for me on this setup. I can hug the barrier at the bottom of the screen and let the totems do the work on both forms. Less of those multishot evil evil wenches as well. But I could see piety being a lot easier for other builds in comparison. Also quicker!
My wander died to desync, first desync death in god knows how long. Got punctured by a dude with substantial physical damage aura, was wanding things to death then suddenly ended up 15 feet away and dead. time to say I'm taking a break then remember a build i wanted to do then play again tomorrow.

I spoke too soon about staying in high maps by rolling decent blue ones. My map supply is all 72s now and I have been stuck there for a couple days now. I guess I should just buy some 75s and run them rare but now I'm kinda curious if I can get back to 78s again.
I finally got to try those summon raging spirits necromancers as spectres that can spawn during an eleron mission. I didn't have the all the correct links for them, but they had echo and minion damage at least. They clear about as fast as evangelists, but not as well as flame sentinels. With haste/vaal haste/flesh offering running you can completely fill your screen with raging spirits, it's pretty great. I suspect if I had the correct gem setup for them and was running hatred they might be better than sentinels.
For auras im running haste and hatred with reduced mana and generosity. Im not hitting anything with only 1000 life and barely any armor, (1500 shield and almost max resists) so I dont need them. Currently at 72% reserved running them both and falling.
For spectres, I think my favorite setup so far is tentacles with greater multiple shots, fork, and slower projectiles or faster attacks. Walk over, lay waste to everything, and move on. With sentinals I like to add faster casting and echo (which is a pain cause your casting ALSO echos) and minus the fork and faster attacks. I'll also try to only do 3 sentinals and add an ash profit for free and easy flammebility curses.
You can take echo out to summon spectres, then put it in when they are active. It's one of the benefits of GGG fixing snap-shotting. As long as you don't take the spectre gem itself out you can fart around with supports all you want and they'll update accordingly. The tooltip at the top left won't update until you change maps, but if you try it out you'll see they get the benefit immediately.
Try tentacle ladies with gmp/lmp/pierce, it's hilarious. When I was chroming my vis mortis I got 3 green so I played that for a while.

I remember why GGG has seen very little of my money now.
Yeah. LoL's pricing structure is preferable.
I am much more likely to give a company $20 if that $20 gets me 10 micro transaction items, rather than 1.

Some of these items have over 7 variations, and I don't want to spend the points before I know what I'm getting.

I've only been kicked from a party once, and that's because I was pretty overleveled for the maps we were doing and I was hurting everyone's exp.
I'm sometimes guilty of ignoring the chat window and miss when people join the party, which makes me not put up a tp.
In my defense, I will usually throw a tp up when I enter a new zone.

Yep! Glad to know he's a known d-bag, I guess.
Still stupid expensive, but less stupid expensive.
