Forever Exiled - A Path of Exile Podcast

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Rory Rackham, Lead Game Designer for GGG! He's had an impact on so many (maybe all?) aspects of Path of Exile and has been a major voice in the development of the game since PoE itself was in diapers; a true cornerstone of the company. In episode 237 we talked about the life of Rory, what led him to GGG, how the ride has been, where it's going, and snack bars! We had such a good time getting to know him, that we were surprised when the questions came to an end! Thanks, Rory for giving us your time! We had an awesome time getting to know you. And, of course, thanks to everyone who joined us this week. We can't thank you enough for your support and we know you'll love getting to know Rory more! Check this out after you've listened to the episode. It's Rory rap we referred to: "...Now this is a story all about how ES got nerfed right into the ground And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I made our Int defences totally fair At the top of the tree, it was nerfed and raised On niche builds was where it spent most of its days Not for min-maxin', just trying to be cool If you didn't like life, CI was your tool 'Til Vaal Pact and GR let it put life to shame Started making trouble in the metagame It cakewalked the fights and the team got scared We said, "You're getting a big rework 'til the meta's repaired." I ground down the values on all of the gear Had to buff some base types to keep it all fair All to nerf what you could get from the best rare Then I whipped up new life mods That all armour could share We dialed down some keystones, giving them all a flaw We tweaked crafted mods and we added some more So that's all the changes But don't you be a hater You'll try it all out and we'll tweak it in Beta" Rory's Twitter: https://twitter.com/RoryRackham Rory's IG for game dev: https://www.instagram.com/intangiblegames/ Forever Exiled Info: www.foreverexiled.com Patreon.com/ForeverExiled Twitter @ForeverExiled82 Path of Exile Website Wrecker of Days Builds List Discord - Invite Code: w22vWK3 Merch - merch.foreverexiled.com www.nexus.gg/Foreverexiled

The .1 patch is out! You know a league is set once the .1 patch gets released. GGG changed up some pretty big details in Path of Exile with it too! We're still having a great time playing Necropolis while trying out a whole bunch of different Atlas ideas, crafting strategies, respecs...it's all a PoE lovers dream. Hopefully you're enjoying the time you're putting into 3.24, along with episode 236's conversation! Thanks for tuning in!

Now that we each have a full week of 3.24's Necropolis under our belt, we couldn't stop talking! GGG had a crazy last couple weeks of posts, PoE 2 updates, and bug fixes...but in episode 235, we couldn't help ignoring all that and instead just talked about the league, our builds, and how both halves of Necropolis have helped (or not) our playthroughs. There's a huge fun per hour element going on here; we couldn't have gone on for hours! Path of Exile consumed much of our lives this week. We hope you enjoyed what you played! Thanks so much for your support each week! We mean it! Love ya!

It's 3.24 Necropolis' league launch day! Hazaa! Hooray! GGG had big ambitions for this league and we were both very excited to get our hands on it and see how it turned out. We had the opportunity to try out some of the new gems and quality of life features that were added to Path of Exile and couldn't wait to share our experiences with each other. (And we can't wait to try out the rest!) League launches are like Christmas here at Forever Exiled, so Merry Christmas! It's episode 234! And of course, thank you so much for your weekly support. We love your faces! Hopefully you're having a fantastic league launch.

In episode 232 of Forever Exiled, GGG gave us a ton to talk about! 3.23 Affliction is almost gone for good (& what a great league it was), 3.24 Necropolis looks to be the QoL league of a lifetime, Path of Exile crafting is changing up a bit, and of course where would we be without a few theories and hypotheses. Thanks for tuning in each week! We love your faces.

It's episode 231 and what perfect timing it was! BrittleKnee joins us on what might be GGG's slowest week ever. There's nothing like catching up with friends and we were excited to catch up with BK on how 3.23's Affliction went, along with Brittleknee's thoughts on Last Epoch, Diablo, and the near future of Path of Exile. As always, thank you very much for joining our little bar chat each week. We really appreciate you!

It's episode 230 (not 330) and we have a nice long chat for you this week! Justin played a ton of Last Epoch this week and Tyler posted some minion suggestions...surprise! The subjects carried us way longer than we originally planned but we loved every second of it. In Path of Exile Land, GGG's 3.23 is still ticking away and our Forever Exiled Affliction private league finished up this week. Thanks for playing everyone! We hope you had a fantastic time playing and laughing at others! See you next week and thanks so much for all of your support!
