I don't run PatronView, just sharing the blog post from them.

I tried to access angieguardian.org, but was met with "JavaScript is required to access this site" which basically guaranteed I will never visit it again.

There are plenty of browsers with integrated ad blocking. All of them are the afterthought not the focus though.

Also, Google's Blink, Mozilla's Gecko and Apple's WebKit are all developed by companies that have a financial stake in advertising business. Conflict of interests might not have direct impact tomorrow, but it's not something we should blindly trust.

Incompetence all around.

That account led investigators to Klayme’s email address and IP address in Nova Scotia. Halifax Regional Police later searched his home and seized phones and laptops, but found no evidence connecting him to the girl, the messages, or the images involved in the case.

Klayme was still convicted of three charges in April 2023. He received an 18-month prison sentence in January 2024 and served the entire term.

Because US sanctions anyone that does anything about it. Since most of the western world is 100% dependent on US banking any sanction even if you have nothing to with US will affect you. You are cut off from Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and all intermediary services that use them, there aren't many alternatives to payments.

Brazil has alternative system and US aggresively targets them because of that. Now that EU got fucked by US one too many times, they are starting to work on alternative system too but it's a slow process.

Levelling is usually a chore for me, but this time it was fun. The socket change made it so the levelling is chill instead of constantly having to worry about sockets to keep up the good pace. It's basically a race since if you can get to maps fast you are likely to be able to snipe some good meta uniques.

Charts are fine, they are fast and relatively rewarding for being tile loot mechanic. I wish we could run only charts instead if being blocked from running more by needing to free up space by running a voyage.

Voyages are a mess though. 99% of adjacent modifiers you can get are effectively useless as there is no monsters in there to scale anything. So you either spend hours fishing for rare monsters drop divine orb modifier and then setup a proper voyage or instead just run random tiles and don't even look at the adjacent modifiers. The fact that we have a single tab to prepare for voyages is a crime. Not only it prevents people from enjoying charts, but it also forces those that want to fish for a proper setup to simply delete completed charts if they don't want to lose that rare monsters drop divine orb adjacent modifier they spend hours fishing for.

I'm primarily a mapper so for me this league is a sad one. This patch killed Breach mechanic whichwas the remaining scaler, so the game is in a state now that there is no way to scale map pack size, quantity and rarity anymore to effectively juice the content. We have such a power creep to make hard mapping content viable, and they made it so unprofitable, that you actually losing monery if you invest in that content now.

After this leage reworked Abyss, we hoped and prayed that it will be good, but that was not to be. It drops nothing as the loot chests do not scale with map pack size, quantity and rarity. And even after the "buff patch" all they did was add more chests which drops few orbs worth less than a few chaos.

This is the current state of abyss ground loot, the map was 220% quant, 187% rarity, 136% pack size and 76% more currency.

I'm not hiding any items here, is this really the intended reward from an abyssal crystal? (100+ mobs spawned on this singular spot).

Alch and go on the other hand seems to be in a decent spot. Without inherent ground loot, altars which drop pre-determined loot are the best thing about mapping, so if someone just rushes maps they can enjoy the content and make a decent living.

Map boss rushing is in a similar vain popular and profitable alternative to alch and go. If killing monsters doesn't matter because the loot is pre-determined people will adapt to that.

Bonus: So far the player retention this league is second worst in the Path of Exile history. -100k players in 9 days.
