Announcing Path of Exile: Heist

Dotctori · 2020-09-01T23:26:54+00:00

So when I succesfully do a grand heist my companions do not lose any progress / levels / items and are exactly as good after the heist (with more exp), unlike syndicates do after a mastermind mission?

The alternate quality gems further highlights the need for the bonus added by quality to be itself, highlighted in some way.

"All Sockets Linked"

Guess I know which enchantment I'll never see.

I swear..If I have to keep one guard alive...

marko9207 · 2020-09-01T21:08:43+00:00

So you do a small heist every map?

Alert Level (--|__________ )

....while being chased by a flame monster. lol

Betrayal but wet

Nevzat666 · 2020-09-01T22:15:41+00:00

Bex - When you asked everyone their favourite thing about the league, what was the one thing they all had in common?

OutrageousFile · 2020-09-01T21:00:08+00:00

Got to love the URL: heist?boat=true

Kimano · 2020-09-01T22:27:40+00:00

So to make sure I have this all right, Heists are the "verb"/opened map form of "contracts", which are the noun; the itemized, roll-able thing you pick up from monsters.

Markers are a currency item that we pick up that lets us to go to, and buy things in, the rogue harbor.

Blueprints are the 'uber fragment' version of contracts, which open grand heists instead of normal ones, but are otherwise the same rollable map-type item? You have to "upgrade" these by interacting with the harbor npcs and make them runnable?

Shanwerd · 2020-09-01T21:01:31+00:00

I am devastated that it's not sea-themed

sentimentalwhore · 2020-09-01T21:13:49+00:00

It's me or are we getting less stuff on the supporter packs? Kinda hard to justify 60usd or 120usd like I usually do for less stuff...

Dramatic_______Pause · 2020-09-01T20:59:44+00:00

Chris Wilson you son of a bitch, I'm in.

TakaimLys · 2020-09-01T21:12:00+00:00

If you can't trigger the alarm, I'm wondering about minions builds. How will they work with this league?

darklypure52 · 2020-09-01T21:14:22+00:00

Blight: Tower Defense

Harvest: Factorio

Heist: Payday 2

Gatitus · 2020-09-01T21:06:29+00:00

Is that a Firewall spell?

german39 · 2020-09-01T21:14:17+00:00

Only a character effect for $30 USD and only adds an armour for $60? Worse supporter pack value EVER, wtf happened here GGG?

ArtisticBad1 · 2020-09-01T21:08:46+00:00

This looks like it's either going to be amazing or complete shit. On first glance it seems to fall into the "too much league mechanic not enough killing" trap. That mob density looks pitiful and planning seems like betrayal but with even more steps.

SpecialEndrey · 2020-09-01T21:15:28+00:00

How many smaller heists do you have to do for a big one (roughly)? I spent a lot time in harvest and seeing oshabi 3 times after countless of days playing was feeling quite unrewarding

staudd · 2020-09-01T21:04:48+00:00

please be less of a spreadsheet insanity than betrayal

edit: oh no

VictusBcb · 2020-09-01T21:19:53+00:00

I do have a question. While I'm certainly a big fan of heist hi-jinks, does this mean that we're basically doing a league where you basically cannot kill mobs lest you blow your whole operation? In a game all about killing lots of stuff, that sounds potentially awful. I really hope we have some stuff we are allowed to kill without being punished for it.

ugh-people · 2020-09-01T21:07:12+00:00

Looks innovative, but I REALLY hope that you'll be able to play this thing without having to bother with a bunch of micromanagement for plans and crew. This is an ARPG, not Medieval Hitman or Assassin's Creed.

This seems like Betrayal on steroids, and that can get extremely tiresome extremely quickly.

The league itself could be good could be bad, we'll see. I'd much rather someone from GGG address why the supporter packs this time are so barren? The price stays the same yet, for the $60 pack, we're getting 7 line-items:

1) points

2) forum title

3) armour pack

4) $60 portrait

5) $30 portrait

6) character effect

7) soundtrack

Literally the only thing that is in-game visually when you're playing is the armour pack and the character effect....

Every single previous $60 supporter pack had 9 line-items. We're missing two of the following choices: back attachment, weapon skin, weapon effect, portal.

What happened here exactly? If there was less manpower to do the supporter packs, I get it. Doesn't mean you can't lower the price to something reasonable considering what is being offered. This straight up feels like we're getting ripped off.

telendria · 2020-09-01T21:11:25+00:00

"There's enough in that bunker for all of us to live comfortably."

Reality: A few scrolls, some frags and maybe a few worthless rares.

BernardoOrel · 2020-09-01T21:06:29+00:00

Yes, I play poe for two reasons: to avoid being detected while I watch npcs do their lockpicking animation

Prace_Ace · 2020-09-01T21:32:28+00:00

Will this work as an alternative to mapping?

Timeswap · 2020-09-01T21:07:46+00:00

We are now the new Syndicate.

AustereSpoon · 2020-09-01T21:22:19+00:00

Aside from the league mechanic which I will wait until we have more info, let me just say those are the LEAST hype supporter packs I have ever seen. I am usually good for at least one 60 dollar one per league and in the past have made it as high as the Phoenix pack... I have zero desire for basic armor I can never see and awkward character effects that slowly circle you. I was really hoping the red pack from last league would start a "at least one pack gets a cool weapon skin / weapon effect" but nah.

SoreThumbs · 2020-09-01T21:09:00+00:00

Really hope theyve learned from past leagues and dont have a ton of tedious micro-managing you have to do. Trailer is pretty underwhelming, but heres hoping the league itself is fun.

xlxlxlxl · 2020-09-01T21:12:55+00:00

Sounds like Vorici Mission league. IDK about this one...

Brumak4eva · 2020-09-01T21:29:15+00:00

I think a 3-minute trailer isn't nearly enough to go off of, like for an actual opinion, so this is just my dumb knee-jerk reaction. It does look like a lot of micromanaging, which is a negative, but maybe it won't be that bad. Perhaps if the loot is rewarding enough, it'll be worth it. Can't say I'm particularly hyped but I'm certainly looking forward to getting more information on it.

SUPEROUMAN · 2020-09-01T21:14:53+00:00

You can't tell us Discharge is reworked without showing it. We need to see it!

Sneaking was never an option!

ScienceFictionGuy · 2020-09-01T21:37:47+00:00

Launching another complex, experimental minigame league right after Harvest is going to be a controversial choice. I have no idea how to feel about the league mechanic because it's so out there for an ARPG game.

New spells look really cool though.

hisuphi · 2020-09-01T21:08:30+00:00

Looks fun, Reddit will hate it.

Awisp_Gaming · 2020-09-01T21:13:43+00:00

Everyone gonna be running CWDT Void sphere...

Also, Blazing Salvo mines could be nuts

Yasuchika · 2020-09-01T21:06:26+00:00

First impressions not too great, looks like a lot of micromanagement akin to Betrayal board + being stealthy in an arpg is not something I'm too interested in.

LateNightCartunes · 2020-09-01T21:16:34+00:00

So much to manage. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but...this isn’t really why I like to play the game.

PrickBrigade · 2020-09-01T22:02:12+00:00

"Stealth" is pretty much #1 on the list of things that nobody ever asked for in an ARPG.
