I believe it will work the way you describe, but the wording makes it unclear. "Chilled by supported skills" vs "in chilling areas". It reads like an enemy could be both chilled, and separately, in a chilling area, at the same time.

They cannot (mechanically). The separation is necessary because an enemy that's chilled because of being in a chilling area is not chilled by the skill, it's chilled by the area. There's an extra level of indirection there.

Only one chill can apply at a time, and it's same with the bonechill bonues associated with those chills. If the enemy is chilled by the skill and then enters a chilling area also created by the skill, then only one of those chills, and one of those bonechill bonuses, is applied.

Both parts of the one active bonechill bonus apply - increasing all cold damage taken by the current chill magnitude and increasing only over-time cold damage by a specific amount both apply, and cold dot is affected by both. But you can't stack the dot bonus from a direct chill and the dot bonus from a chilling area together - just like the chills that they're attached to, only one is active.

Thanks always for your help, but the more time to download the torrent the better, especially as it continues to grow each league.

I'm aware of this.

Sorry to dig this up, but it's the best context for the question:

Is Impale affected twice by Worthy Foe? Initial Hit * 1.2 * 0.1 for the impale debuff, then every impale "tick" gets another 1.2 modifier?

No. Nothing double-dips impale.

Damage taken modifiers inherently apply to damage taken, which is damage that has been mitigated. Impale uses the unmitigated damage, so those modifiers have not already applied to the damage of the impale.

What's your league-starter build though?

This happens every time but I spend so much time before the launch focusing on getting information out to the community that I always forget to consider what I'll be doing once the league is out. Any recommendations?

Can we make one consolidated post of "what time is Betrayal dropping"?

Please only upvote comments with what time Betrayal drops in a timezone. I will start.

In our news post today we will include local time - although it's important to note that it can be wrong if people aren't logged in and haven't updated their timezone settings on their account. When in doubt it's best to check the countdown. Alternatively, you can use a timezone conversion website. The realm goes down at 5am time in Auckland, Zealand. It will come back up when Betrayal is live at 8am.

Some information here. This news post doesn't usually come out until evening time in New Zealand. Here is a link to our local time.

Hey,

I'd like to get the attention of everyone who updates their own filter or shares their filter with the community in regards to the betrayal changes:

1) If you want to highlight maps by tier: use the MapTier syntax

Don't use DropLevel for maps anymore!. It seems to be obsolete for maps (works the same way for everything else) and will result in wrong highlighting (based on the previous atlas). Here's an example on how to highlight T9 maps.

#------------------------------------
#  T9 - Maps
#------------------------------------

Show # $maps->T9
MapTier = 9
Class Maps
SetFontSize 45
SetBackgroundColor 0 0 0 255         # BACKGROUND:   Neutral T2
PlayAlertSound 4 300                 # DROPSOUND:    Map Sound
DisableDropSound True
MinimapIcon 2 Yellow Square
PlayEffect White

Note that, when using "MapTier" - the actual level of the opened map matters. So MapTier = 9 will treat a shaped T4 a...

Thanks so much for all of your help!

When does the preload come out my dear Bex? :)

In today’s news we will let you know:

• How big the update is
• That the realm goes down 3 hours before the timer ends. You should be able to start downloading the patch around 30 mins to an hour after that. The expansion starts when the timer ends.
• I might include a torrent. (Torrents don’t work for Steam)
• It’s also a reminder that Oriath Mystery Boxes leave the store when the expansion goes live.

I'm aware that the community is keen for the torrent. Typically it doesn't become available until the evening time in NZ. It's currently 11am. Here's a link to our local time.

In light of the Bethesda FO76 fiacso, I can't help but appreciate GGG even more with how transperent they are with their community.

There's an unbelievable amount of communication and I can't even begin to understand how other developers can't come anywhere close to this.

We get:

  • Bex
  • Detailed patch notes describing every change
  • Reasons behind changes and developer opinion and design goal for these decisions
  • Consistant Meta-Change to help guide players to discover other areas of gameplay/mechanics
  • Clear communication about mechanical operations, company direction, bug fixes, intended gameplay mechanics, obscure wording and expansion on descriptions
  • My man Mark who I idolize

And we get all of this for a F2P game that I've dumped thousands of dollars into just because I love them. I want to support other developers to go THIS direction. To thank GGG.

Many thanks for your lovely comments everyone! It really goes a long way. The team has been working really hard and while there's a lot to enjoy about game development, having support like this from the community makes it feel even more worthwhile. We are extremely excited to share our work on Path of Exile: Betrayal with you! Thank you so much for being part of this with us.

**Edit: Looks like its 1-2 hours earlier depending on daylight savings according to Bex.

It depends where you live. The time has changed because of daylight savings changes and we started an hour earlier in NZ time to help make it easier for the European players. People's best bet is to check out the countdown. In our news post today we will include local time for everyone but it can be wrong if they're not logged in/have the wrong time settings on their account.

Here's what I see, when I check my "Total Increased" Decay damage

EDIT: I just noticed the values are much higher than on the nodes in the tree (most say 10, but in the tree they're worth 3), so I assume you've already done some calculation "per node" before each individual modifier is shown in this table?

That looks correct; what's showing up there is the generic "Chaos Damage" that is on those nodes, whereas the multiplier (if it actually appeared in such a list) would read "Chaos Dot Multiplier".

Your best bet is to check out the countdown timer on our website: pathofexile.com

I don't know if this is normal, if it's my timing with the new league starting, or if there's something else, but it seems like forever for customer support to get back to me, and the problem seems like a simple fix.

I don't want to say how long I've been waiting as I don't want to skew the answers that come back in here, but to people who've dealt with customer support before, what have your experiences with GGG been like? How long have you had to wait? I'm getting pretty cheesed off here

They’re usually pretty fast but I believe they’re dealing with a backlog right now as people get prepared for the expansion. They’ll respond as soon as they possibly can. Our apologies for the wait!
