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 ...

AggroChat #516 – Cooperative Design

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 ...

Path of Exile 3.26 Wishlist

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/20

Good Morning Folks. With the delay in Last Epoch Season 2 and the upcoming launch of Dawn of the Hunt in Path of Exile 2, it has had me thinking about Path of Exile 3.26 a bit. On March 4th we got an announcement that the Legacy of Phrecia Event was being extended to April ... Read more The post Path of Exile 3.26 Wishlist appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Last Epoch Season 2 Delayed

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/19

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday we got a bit of news from Eleventh Hour Games that they would be delaying the launch of Last Epoch Season 2 from April 2nd to April 17th. This is to create some distance between their launch date and that of Path of Exile 2 and its first league on the ...

Dungeon Crawler Carl

2025/03/18

Good Morning Folks. I took yesterday off and while I had planned on writing a blog post.. one never actually happened. Instead you are getting the post that I probably would have written yesterday, a day late. This weekend I finished my consumption of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series… and I have to admit I ...

Guild Wars 2 Massive Discount

Good Afternoon Folks. This is a bit of a rare post because generally speaking if I do not make my morning post… I just don’t post at all for that day. I spent my morning up at my folks house helping them with some stuff and now that I am back I figured I might ...

Choosing Last Epoch

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/13

Good Morning Folks. There is a bit of a kerfuffle happening right now in ARPG land. Essentially this was bound to happen at some point, but the overlapping seasons combined with various setbacks have essentially conspired to multiple things happening all at once. Two days ago Grinding Gear Games released an announcement that 0.2.0 was ... Read more The post Choosing Last Epoch appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Dark Knight Mode

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/03/12

Hey Folks. I’m in a bit of a weird place right now with Monster Hunter Wilds. I am 56 hours into the game and HR 66 and essentially “done” with the game. That is not to say that I have stopped playing it, but I am also sort of out of stretch goals. I’ve completed ... Read more The post Dark Knight Mode appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.
