Faith in Judgement

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/29

Good Morning Folks. This character has been a wild ride. You have to remember this was a brand new character that I started late Sunday morning and cobbled together gear from my stash to get up and running. I maintained Deathless until I fought a 230ish Spirits of Fire boss… but honestly I think that ... Read more The post Faith in Judgement appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Joining the Judges

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/28

Good Morning Folks. I pretty much spent the entire weekend playing Last Epoch, and I regret nothing. For those who have not been following this particular rabbit hole, I have been playing what I think is my sixth incarnation of an Ignite Warpath Paladin. It has been pretty enjoyable but as I began pushing corruption ... Read more The post Joining the Judges appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

AggroChat #520 – Prophecy Fulfilled

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/27

Good Morning Folks! We are down a Tam this week and went into this with no topics on the docket… and still managed to pull together a full-length episode. We talk a bit about our experiences attempting to preorder the Nintendo Switch 2, and what a massive cluster that was. From there, we talk a ...

Corruption is Cumbersome

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/25

Good Morning Folks. I’ve been playing Last Epoch almost exclusively at this point and I have not only progressed into the Empowered Monoliths but reached a point with my build where I am beginning to thrive there. Right now Last Epoch has legitimately some of the best systems design in isometric loot chase action role-playing ...

Greybie Not Gaming

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/24

Good Morning Folks. I don’t have a gaming post today because I really did not get up to much last night. I pushed corruption a bit in Last Epoch but spent the tail end of the evening hanging out with our neighborhood friendly feral cat that we call Greybie. Last weekend was the extended easter ...

My Own Worst Enemy

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/23

Good Morning Folks. I failed entirely to write a blog post yesterday because I guess other things were going on. I am still playing Last Epoch and still having quite a blast… but there was a brief period of time where I was having less of one. The problem with yolo-ing your way through an ...

Best ARPG Patch So Far

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/21

Good Morning Folks. Shocking to no one, I spent pretty much all of the extended weekend playing Last Epoch. We did spend a bit of time working on the backyard and prepping it to migrate all of the furniture and such from the garage out there. However all of the rest of the time was ...

AggroChat #519 – Lord Orca

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/20

Hey Folks! Happy Easter to all of our listeners, since this happens to be dropping on the actual holiday. We talk a bit this week about how we recorded last week on the eleventh anniversary of this show… without realizing it until far too late to discuss. We start off the show talking about the ...

Froggy and Capy Are Best Friends

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/04/18

Good Morning Folks! Last Epoch Tombs of the Erased has launched and I am still in the process of leveling my character through the campaign. Just like I thought I was going to do… I rolled a Sentinel and specialized into Paladin going for something similar to what I have built previously. The thing is… ...

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… ...
