Sitting In The Waiting Room

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/17

Good Morning Folks. Waiting Room by Fugazi is not only my favorite song from that band… but one of my favorite songs of all time. Right now I am very much sitting in the waiting room, waiting on the Last Epoch servers to come up and the Tombs of the Erased season to start. I ...

Still Burning

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/16

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday I released a bit of propaganda for the upcoming Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased season. I’ve been asked a few times what I plan on starting for the league. I’ve kicked around a few ideas, namely checking out the Forge Guard updates and running something with a Two-hander and Shield ...

You Should Play Last Epoch

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/15

Good Morning Folks. I said I was going to talk about Last Epoch this morning, and essentially I am going to attempt to present a case for why you should try the game out for the upcoming Season 2 launch on Thursday. I feel like I should set out some credentials before we go forward. ... Read more The post You Should Play Last Epoch appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

The Altar of Randomness

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/14

Good Morning Folks. I am still playing Path of Exile II, and shockingly still having things to say about the game. I expected that I would be full on engaged in the Last Epoch Season 2 propaganda machine by now. For any you are interested however Steelmage posted a pretty fun video that attempts to ...

AggroChat #518 – One Hundred Pages

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/13

Hey Folks! We were out last week but, as such, came back with a stacked list of topics to discuss. We start off talking about Path of Exile II and the bad launch patch for Dawn of the Hunt. We also talk about the interview between Zizaran and the Devs and the resulting updates. We ... Read moreThe post AggroChat #518 – One Hundred Pages appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

It’s Getting Better

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/11

Good Morning Folks. Early yesterday evening, we had a 15 minute downtime for Path of Exile II which deployed patch 0.2.0e. The patch included a lot of pretty solid changes from shrinking some of the larger zones by cutting out dead ends, to slowing down specific mob types so that they could not just bum-rush ...

Slow and Steady But Unrewarding

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/10

Good Morning Folks. Yes I am still screwing around with Path of Exile II… in part because I don’t really want to get engaged in another game since Last Epoch Season 2 launches next week. There has been further fruit from the Zizaran interview, namely in the form of a patch summary post for the ...

Thank You Zizaran

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/09

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday was a bit of a wild ride, but I feel like I need to do some filling in of details for any readers who are not aggressively online and part of the Path of Exile community. Zizaran is essentially the gold standard for what a Path of Exile content creator can ... Read more The post Thank You Zizaran appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Better But Not Great

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/08

Hey Folks. Well… I did not actually stop playing Path of Exile II. I am a deeply stubborn human being at times, and I kept pushing forward and have managed to get things into a semi-viable state. Warrior right now is probably the most functional class in the game. Until yesterday 9 of the top ... Read more The post Better But Not Great appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

The Worst Path of Exile League So Far

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/07

Good Morning Folks. I did not do a blog post on Friday because I just was not feeling it. I hoped maybe the new Path of Exile II league that launched that afternoon/evening would pull me out of my funk. In truth it did… but it replaced sadness with rage. When the game launched I ...

Sleepwalker

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/03

Yesterday was a really weird day. I was getting ready and my wife had just left the house… when the Tornado sirens blew. We had been watching the weather because we were under a Tornado Warning, but it had not turned into a watch yet. There was an area of rotation that was being tracked… ...

You’ve Been Thunderstruck

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/02

Good Morning Folks. I am still feeling under the weather, but last night I continued plugging away at my Storm Brand of Indecision Surfcaster in the Legacy of Phrecia Event. There are a few things… firstly this is one of the more squishy builds that I have played. Essentially I have no life and no ...

Surfs Up Brando

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/01

Good Morning Folks. I am fighting some generic respiratory crud and as such feeling pretty freaking awful. However here I am sharing my nonsense with you all. Yesterday I finished the campaign on my Storm Brand of Indecision character built on top of the Surfcaster ascendancy. I legitimately have no real idea where I am ...

Atomfall, Hero Siege, and SurfBrand

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/31

Good Morning Folks! This weekend I was all over the place when it came to gaming. First up I finished up leveling to 100, which completed the Gear Grinding Goals achievement. Hitting level 100 on a character is a weird place because you suddenly no longer care about taking deaths. Up until this point even ...

AggroChat #517 – Aggressively British Fallout

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/30

Hey Folks! We are down a Grace this week, but push on with several topics. This week, Path of Exile II revealed the Dawn of the Hunt league, and we talked a bit about how it did not really resolve some of the problems we had with the game. Bel also talks a bit about ...

Path of Exile II – Dawn of the Hunt Reveal

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/28

Yesterday was the reveal stream for Path of Exile II 0.2.0 or the Dawn of the Hunt which is their first named league/season. If you are so inclined you can watch the full content reveal here on YouTube. I’ve said before that this first patch that comes with an economy reset is going to effectively ...

Mappers have Mapped

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/26

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday I made the swap over to the Dawnbreaker that I talked about picking up cheaply yesterday and I have to say… it is complete nonsense. Basically I have 100% of all physical damage taken as fire damage, and then that gets reduced by 90% fire resistance. On top of that damage ...

Mageblood Degeneracy

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/25

Good Morning Folks. I contemplated not doing a blog post this morning, because I was not really certain what I would actually talk about. I am still knee deep in Path of Exile Legacy of Phrecia event and enjoying myself greatly. Yesterday I talked about some nonsense I was doing with a Headhunter to enable ...

Blowing Divines for Science

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/24

Good Morning folks. We are on the cusp of a new Last Epoch and Path of Exile II league and I cannot stop playing the Legacy of Phrecia event. What is probably even more wilds is that I think right now, there are more Path of Exile players than Path of Exile II players. It ...

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/23

Hey Folks! We were out last week because Bel’s world was burning and all of the smoke was killing his lungs. This week we start off with a discussion about the Eleventh Hour Games and Grinding Gear Games situation as GGG pulls a Blizzard and ambushes the Last Epoch Season 2 launch. From there we ...
