It is time for the next Path of Exile event!
It is time for... the Endless Heist!
And by "Endless", I really mean getting to level 50 to get my free Atlantis Mystery Box. 😉 Because, at this rate, there is nooooo way I'm levelling further than that, even for the chance at getting into the random chance draws.
In the last event -- the Endless Delve -- I managed to score some body armour from the mystery box! For this next one I'm hoping for some other item of clothing to match it, or perhaps a cool portal effect, or maybe even some wings! That'd be spiffy.
And so, it's time to introduce my character for this event!
Andddd... I made a ranger!
And although I had the option to jump into this in a tradable fashion, I decided to go with Solo Self Found. Simply because I never use the trading website until high level anyway and I really don't see the point in a voided event. Unless I was trying to rush and be number one or something. Which I'm not.
With this character, I'm going to go for evasion, movement speed, defensives, etc. And leave masses of ballistas in my wake! Muahaha!
Levelling in Endless Heist seems a little slower than it was levelling in the Endless Delve, but that doesn't stop my assertion that this type of game mode would be fantastic as a permanent addition to Path of Exile. An Adventure Mode! Where you choose to do Heists / Delves / Mapping, or the repetitive campaign.
It's clearly doable.
Pleeeeeeease, Grinding Gear Games! Non-campaign Mode!
So, levelling is pretty damned slow. And you know what else is slow? Gearing up. It's as though the game knows I'm a ranger with intent on bows and arrows and ballistas and decided to give me everything I would've wanted if I were playing a witch!
And of course the first time I died, was the first time I found a quicksilver flask!! Just typical. 😅 Slow movement speed for DAYS!
Finally -- a couple hours later -- I found another one! And this time retrieved it to safety for it to become my very own movement speed boost. Hooray!
Now I can move just that teensy bit faster and hopefully level that teeny bit faster.
Unfortunately, levelling is so painful in this event.
It has taken me nearly 8 hours just to reach level 23. 😱 As usual, there are people screaming ahead at level 60 already, and here I am, at level 23, dying inside.
I mean, to be fair, I have been constantly alt-tabbing and checking on Smashwords (I have books available for freeeee!), Hive, reading a few things, eating food, and... ignoring the game a little bit. So maybe I wasn't exactly in the mood for this today. 😅
But I figure I have a week to do it. Ten days technically but I also want to join in on the Atlas Invasion event too and that starts on Christmas, egads! Why have an event start on Christmas morning??? I don't have much of a life, but I have some of a life. 😆
But at this rate, I think level 23 is a good effort for today, and I'll do a bit more over the coming days, and hopefully get something snazzy from that Mystery Box! (Please, don't give me some crappy decoration after days of this torment.)
Will post an update once I reach this illustrious level of 50! Because it will truly be worthy of sharing. I do not recommend this event at all. Unless you reeeeeally want that Mystery Box. I'm starting to second-guess if I actually want the Mystery Box....
...
I do. 😬
Until next time! ⚔️
Oh shit I was about to play it to get the free mystery box, but now I'm not that sure about starting LOL
Haha Good luck with that. I allways wish to get something cool, but all that I get is decorations :(
Yeah I don't recommend the Endless Heist event lol.
The Endless Delve was good!!! But it's finished now.
There's an Atlas event next week, that one might be better! .... I'm still level 23 in this heist though, I just can't gather the strength to keep going, lol.
I tried the ranger once with a turret build but I never managed to pay enough attention to where I placed the turrets and when they disappeared. Ended up going back to my marauder or witch instead. Those have always been my go tos. This game mode looks great. The thing that made me stop PoE was having to do the damn campaign over and over again.
I was wanting to do another witch build, but then I figured that since I had made one in the Scourge league and I made the exact same build in the Endless Delve, that I should probably do something different this time. 😅 Although I really was enjoying that big flaming circle and detonating everything inside of it.
Might go back to it for the next Event!
I don't mind the ranger though! Ballistas are the only thing I've ever tried with the ranger so just grabbed them for the familiarity.
Yessss, I struggle every league. Looking forward to a slight change of pace when PoE 2 is finally released. Some new acts to repetitively go through until we all get burnt out again will be nice! 😅
Yeah! PoE2 will be when I try the game again. They would have to make some drastic changes for it to happen before. I don't quite remember the skill names but with the Marauder I did a pretty decent molten hammer build or something like that. Lava balls jumping about. I took basically no damage and defeated the big bad bosses as well. All on softcore though.
More choices other than doing the campaign would be amazing. It's like the one reason I never want to start playing a new toon.
I think their game would really benefit from an adventure mode! These little event thingies prove that they can do it... maybe one day we'll be lucky.
tbh I doubt they will get rid of campaign, there is too many speed runners in this game. I think its uhealthy and bad for people to do speedruns like that, but yea... somehow it became "eSport" in PoE
I don't want them to get rid of the campaign! 🙂 I just want another option. XD Like in Diablo 3 for example, you can still do the campaign or you can do adventure mode instead.
I haven't played diablo but yea that would be cool to have more options instead of "only campaign".
Me suena haber escuchado el nombre del juego pero no logro relacionarlo con la modalidad, voy a investigar más se ve interesante pero complicado
