Sure it's not a patch? (I haven't played more than five minutes yet)

Sorry guys. It seems that every time I want to play, the server goes down

Orb of Storm/Spark isn't as crazy as I hoped, but maybe with Spell Echo, it'll get better
p.s. - Let me know if ya'll need more Clarity in normal

The big damage spikes still seem to be there but the enemies do go down quicker.

Started out with Sunder on my Marauder, switched to Earthquake for Act 4. I really like both skills but Earthquake is definitely the best to me right now; it's also better than Ice Crash imo.
Beat Daresso earlier today (normal) and haven't had any close calls yet. That said I need to start getting my resistences up asap. They're terrible right now.
I really like the new league, in fact it might be my favorite since Ambush. They've finally managed to reward players on a consistent enough basis. Even if the chests don't drop decent gear you know you're going to get some gold, which can then be used to purchase something good. I've only bought a couple cheap items thus far, one of which I had to buy due to that greedy bastard blocking my path lol. Waiting on him to offer something that benefits my current build or the ones I have planned for later. That being said I'm not gonna create my Storm Cal Templar until some of the performance issues are fixed lol. I can just imagine my screen freezing due to Storm Call+Perandus shit.

Strangely the Perandus effects don't drop my framerate, but some random lights in the trials do it. I only did the normal lab at level 54 because of that. Not gonna do the cruel version untl 75...
The Crematorium tileset does it too. I have no idea what it is, but I suspect the lights there, too. This has been like this forever. Alira's cooking fire drops me to 30, too. I wish they would get this shit under control finally.

The perendus cluster fuck bogs my i5 4690 gtx 970 down on a samsung 850 ssd, atleast some of them. It's so damn spammy you literally don't know what the fuck is going on with them. Crazy that there can be two of them near each other.
The pricing range seems massive but it feels good sometimes to find a legendary for cheap.
You're only 65. Do you have attack speed on the tree and on linked gems? Movement on your boots? Tree? You gotta invest in order for the game to feel good

Luckily I get fps slowdown right before Perandus shit appears on the screen, so I know it's coming and am never caught off guard.
I find it rather weird that GGG runs into this problem with nearly every expansion/update. Super overdone enemy spell effects that cause slowdowns or crashes, streamers die to it and everyone complains, etc.

Basically, at this point, I am fairly convinced that GGG staffers suffer from the same syndrome a lot of devs do: having access to insanely strong computers with some local access to the servers, they just never meet the problem.
I mean, they keep insisting that rain has nothing to do with slowdowns in rainy zones, to this very day. It has been years. They just do not give a fuck.

I was just about to post this. My rig shouldn't be dropping into the 40s playing this game because of the effects overload.
Also had to kill Malachai 4 times last night because I kept getting disconnected from the server during the fight. Having to kill Malachai, Shav, and Doedre 12 times in a row was fun.

Died at 78 to... traps in cruel lab. I was running it a few times to try and get a better feel before heading to merc lab. Door trap plus fast firing darts, died fassst.
Oh well.
On the brightside I did manage to 6socket and 6 link a bronn's lithe for 19jewels 14fuse and chromed it in 1. Didn't have it equipped yet thankfully.

RIP. The % max health dmg traps are a menace that are hard to gear against. I still haven't verified if fortify or block/dodge help against them.
Damn, that's a bummer. I still don't understand why GGG made the perandus packs have so many mobs which attack and cast so quickly. I figure it causes problems with the information that needs to be transmitted all the time with lockstep. When I tried changing it back to predictive (yuck!) there were less client freezes. I mean, they had an issue that seemed similar in the mega-flashback league awhile back when rampage was active...
I'm having a good time overall with the patch, though, performance and freeze issues aside. I just wish the seven-league boots weren't so rare and pricey, I wanted to take a horde of them with me back to standard for permanent use in the future.

Well the ascendancy subclasses are a straight buff to everyone, and we've also got a bunch of new shiny toys that boost our damage output like elemental overload, elemental focus, and more. Some of the new enchants are crazy powerful but good luck getting the specific one you want.

Yeah I almost stopped playing for the rest of the week. Having to go through the harvest 4 times and kill all 3 mini bosses just to get DC'd on the second phase of malachai was bad. I also got DCs two times trying to get through Vaal today. My progress has slowed because of these disconnects to the where ill just put the game down until the next patch. (which was tonight thankfully) Glad I play SC because I've had a couple of deaths to perandus mobs that will just bog down my system and by the time it catches up with the server ill be surrounded.
I still havent done much with the new subclasses. I am going to run EA this league as that is one of the only skills I have never used in my 4 years of PoE that I really want to.
The enchants while a cool addition add another layer of RNG to the game that I am not happy about. I usually make 4+ characters a league but I might just stick with the EA once I get it up and running.
Hope they can iron out the performance issues in this game a whole as a goal for this year. I shouldn't be getting so much stuttering and drops with a 980ti , 16GB 2033 RAM, and a 4.5Ghz processor. I understand that it is because of the way the game interacts with their client and servers.

Obviously I'm happy the game is gaining popularity and this league is being well received by casual fans...but the unstable server situation due to high traffic really makes me think twice about playing at peak times. I've only DC'd twice (once was on my end, once was due to server crash) but I've had multiple moments where the game stutters or seems like it's gonna crash.
I'm too afraid to make a caster lmao. My Marauder can deal with delays and stutters due to my defense/endurance charges/fortify. But I'd hate to lose a caster due to a slight delay.

10 chaos for 96 coins

Damn.. I have had no luck with any drops or cadiro yet.
Best thing he was selling an intuituve leap for 4k coins when I was level 18 -_-

I'm convinced this game doesn't like me. 4 years and the best thing I got was a soul taker on standard messing around once. Not when it was BIS but when they were selling for 2-3ex.

I did not realize the Ascendancy skill's used 5 refund points each, now I have to collect a lot more to go back to what I had. The UI didn't seem to indicate that the cost was 5. I suppose I should have looked at my refund points number as I removed skills. Expensive.
Is there space in the neogaf clan, is there a neogaf clan even?

There is but I left it because there was only 1 or 2 people online entirely at most. It's dead. It's nice for the guild stash, you can most likely store stuff without it taken but I have like 20 stash slots of my own so yeah...

It sucks it uses refund points. I'm stuck at the Labyrinth on Normal (boss) and don't want to even think about the fact that I can't put points into her afterwards

Oops I meant 5 refund points to undo a ascendancy skill, refunding the ascendancy point. When you clear the labyrinth you are given 2 ascendancy skill points to use in the trees for each difficulty. 6 Ascendancy points max.
ooh, I have a ton of uniques I put on old characters and I can just put them there not caring if anyone can use it. I have the default stash, and use extra characters for stuff I might not want to throw away but won't bother to sell. The trading system it's a bit of a hassle for me to worry about.
I'm currently playing as a Necromancer, "KaraLive". How does the invites work? A clan invite for each character, or is it per account (hopefully)?

I'm enjoying much better than the previous league. Only thing I don't like the the instability of the server and some bad performance issues with the perandus mobs. It seems like I get DC a couple times a day at least. There have been a lot of patches so hopefully things are almost fixed.

Just got this, it looks interesting for a tank h2h person. Not sure how I could use it though, maybe I should try h2h finally.
The boss in the labyrinth blows me up, what bombardment effect is that? Chaos damage? When I try to run out the way my summons follow and aren't fighting as they do. He doesn't seem to let up on that stuff.
Those statues piss me off, is the stop regen item the only way to stop them from showing up later? The only thing that mess me up now is the boss fights in level 3 or sometimes 2. I feel I lucked out beating the merciless labyrinth the first time with less gear and 2 less ascendancy points.
