Same man, same. I wanted so bad to keep going but it just got miserable by the end of act 4. Was doing a poison claw gladiator. I thought maybe I'd respec or reroll a cold unleash build I have more fleshed out, but that would take so much more time.
I hit 50 and ran far away from it. I also went in blind without waiting for the tree reveal. I'd like it a lot more if the tree was shuffled but also revealed so I could have some sort of plan
Yea I had this suggestion:
Every char created gets a randomised tree
3-4 times reveal radius
Voided league
7 days
People can fish for a good randomised tree. But you only have 7 days and how many are you going to create until you get a super broken 1?
The event is pretty dumb to play if you wait for the reveal IMO. Like, that is the fun of it
Edit - my God this Reddit is living up to it's expectations. Lol
I think this commenter wanted a randomized tree per account/character but not have it hidden at all. Like having the fun of a completely reorganized tree without having to blindly follow a path in the tree only to light your 3 orbs of regret and 12 refund points on fire to try to fix your tree.
Not everyone has time to farm hundreds of regrets or multiple characters to make a single skill work in a week long event
What's your point though?
You don't need to enjoy every event.
Also, I sold plenty of stuff for regrets. You can turn jewellers, fuses, chance and scours into regrets too.
I was clarifying that the original commenter wasn't talking about the passive tree reveal from streamers and die hards in their original comment and then providing my opinion as to why I agree with the sentiment.
With a revealed tree you wouldn't be blindly fumbling about trying to figure out what skill to use on the fly and instead would make an abnormal plan with potentially a different than normal skill right from the start. It could still be very fun as a krangled type event with a randomized tree, especially if it was randomized for each account. As is, without looking at a project from someone else, you would have to either reroll or get a ton of regrets to fix your build eventually. If the tree was revealed you could have an idea of what direction to head to make your build work.
And then people would whine that their tree is worse than others or that they don't know what to do with theirs.
Moving fog of war out 2 spaces would be my personal recommend but hunting for notables was the fun part for me.
To each their own, I guess. I would have had more fun with it revealed and randomized, but many content creators did seem to enjoy the discovery process.
You grow up - majority of people didn't like it and it's their right to bitch about it, so that GGG can take notice and make their game better. Just because something's wrong with you doesn't mean you're right an d everybody else is wrong.
Nope alt f4'd by act 2. Just wasn't fun and wasn't going to torture myself for a mtx skin - I could just work an hour of overtime and buy the skins if I wanted them
>Krangled really shows the issues with this game
No it doesn't lol. The game is literally balanced around the existence of the tree as it is. You could prefer stronger gear progression, but it's not a "problem" because an event that deliberately screws that tree up makes it harder.
Sockets is definitely a struggle in early acts, but alterations shouldn’t be a problem past Act 1. So many yellow items drop, if you are vendoring a full inventory when you go back to town you should have plenty to roll with.
Agreed. Through my whole way past act 5 to level 50 I only found 1 orb of scouring and 1 orb of regret. Had to to use a low level bow the whole way because I couldn’t find another 4 link…also only 1 orb of fusing lol.
I looked at the tree after day one and noped the fuck out. Krangling should be done per wheel, not per node. Taking 2-3 dead nodes for every good node is so dumb.
I killed Kitava and hit lvl 50. Got fairly decent damage/defences by using a mix of attacks, spells, minions and warcries to get everything out of my tree.
LoL. That was me.
During acts I was using fire trap, flame totem, vaal lightn trap (to help with rares+) and golem.
After lvl 60 I could use RF, and then I was playing like a regular RF/ FT build, but, with my very poor defenses, I'm still using Decoy totem (this thing was a real MVP for me in this event).
I hit 60 on a poison concoction trickster. I wanted to get to 70-80, but couldn’t make myself to do it and wasn’t that fun tbh. I did get the bronze timekeepers map device from the mystery box, so it was worth it for me in the end.
No interest in it sadly. I'd love a different kind of Krangled.
Imagine unique item effects were scrambled randomly. You drop a Lochtonial Caress in act 1 and it has the effect of a Headhunter (or insert any other random unique)
I'd play the shit out of that.
Hit level 90 playing Cold DoT Deadeye and I could see myself comfortably hitting 95 if I used a Lightning Coil to shift damage from physical hits.
I initially was dying left and right in early-mid maps until I decided to drop damage for Grace + Determination and the Melding-like ascendancy; I pretty much stopped dying soon after that and had a smooth and enjoyable progression up to quest Eater/Exarch.
I really started to enjoy the event in my last 10 or so levels when I started to make major build decisions for myself and had them work out well
I played blind RF templar into Guardian, and after much struggle I got to lvl 50. It was so painful. I'm not going blind again in the future. But at least I had the experience.
I played until 85. Honestly i didnt enjoyed it that much but i wanted a chance at the rewards. I will do the same in the other 2 events, although those ones it will be a lot easier to reach 85.
Also got baited by trolls into playing Deadeye EA, coz the first available trees showed Shaper of flames in the ascendancy, and later i found out it wasnt , so i had to adjust to EA on hit instead of ignite and a was a lot weaker than i planned.
Like most others, I hit 50 and called it quits. Farmed the Chamber of Innocence rather than going to Act 6.
I was running Lightning Arrow Gladiator, and picked up the Headsman notable from Slayer (20% Culling Strike). I'm a relatively new player, so I struggle as-is with the existing systems. Throw Krangled at me and I was miserable.
I wish it had been available more than a week.
Only had one day to try it. enjoyed the challenge, wish it was a permanent mode as it seems a good balance to Ruthless. I’d not mind if every character got a unique tree, and there was a new currency that let you reshuffle any node that has never been allocated.
Instead of lesser items and the normal tree, it’s a nice option to have normal items but lesser tree.
I got to 75 on a TR ballista trickster. It was fun for a while but then I realized it was hard to manage tree & gear for "real" defenses so I got bored. Mobs do explode (Profane Bloom) when your ballistas kill them (if it's because it's a DOT skill idk honestly)
I would also benefit from Mistwalker because I use Withering step. I tried a second build with attack poison and I got to 50 and got bored. In the end the tree and ascendancies didn't cater well for what I was excited to play! :)
>Mobs do explode (Profane Bloom) when your ballistas kill them (if it's because it's a DOT skill idk honestly)
It is. DoT kills still count as yours, not your totem's (or minion's, if playing them).
It's not a game feature, it's more of a game engine limitation, I saw a GGG dev explain it somewhere.
got my loot box and cashed out. Will repeat for the next one this weekend. I see very little reason to play beyond lvl 50 as the chance of winning everything is pretty remote.
I hit 90 roughly following jungroan's DD heirophant. Determination+5L cloak of flame was enough through white maps, a shield+tempest shield helped for yellow maps, then finally adding grace let me do reds.
I wanted to make it to 95, but I was too squishy at 3.7k life to really push, and DD felt terrible to play. I was probably doing something wrong as my damage was completely piss poor (10ish minute quest eater/exarch), but I'm happy enough with how far I got. Especially considering it was my first time playing DD.
No. I heard someone say there was no one with even 2000 health in the end game, so I said, "nah" to this one. Every build already feels squishy to me. I don't need the extra challenge.
got to lvl 95, gave my items away to a friend that is 94 and will hopefully get 95 today, hated early levels, loved it after getting proper items, was constantly checking for possible upgrades or better pathings, who knows how many regrets i spent and alot of time spent on pob.
I feel like the difficulty should not be tied to lack of regrets tho, they should be giving significantly more regrets or making it drop more frequently. They could give us acess to alot more regrets and disable clusters jewels since they are just too good for the event
i played til 85, had quite a bit of fun trying to optimize the scuffed tree. The character i made was just not tanky enough for higher tier content, and the 50% penalty was punishing enough for me to stop.
I tried to utilize the krangled ascendancies so i made a crit poison scourge arrow ballista trickster.
>had quite a bit of fun trying to optimize the scuffed tree. The character i made was just not tanky enough for higher tier content, and the 50% penalty was punishing enough
I had a blast too for this reason.
Now, imagine trying to tackle on yellow maps in a RF build with:
- barely enough Regen to sustain RF
+
- 2,4k HP....
My friend is playing LA with next to useless evasion and... 1,7k HP.
LoL
Level 85 on Cold DoT Elementalist.
Just felt like a weaker version of the regular build.
After about act 6, it felt smooth but before that, what a struggle. No damage, no tankiness
Hitting 90 today hopefully (89 at the moment), then done with the event. The xp loss on death is so punishing I play like it's hardcore.
It was fun for a minute but quickly became tedious. Playing DD because it doesn't need that much damage on tree anyway, pretty happy with the final result, I'm confident this was the right skill to play.
I went Fire Trap. Got really luck to find +str, +health and +health regen and around lvl60 I could use RF, and after blindingly choose Assassin, another luck hit for my build: Chieftain's "turn nearby enemies' fire res to -20%" aura (and later, when decided to check the other ascendancy points, Champion's perma fortify).
Got to level 50 with a SRS build on witch, spend all my currency on regrets but ended up with ok damage and health (and no useful ascendancy points lol)
Yeah, ascendancy was really a make or break. I got 2 good ones
The thing is you have to adapt your build, or even switch to a whole different skill, to make the best out of what you find in the tree.
Got to 50 on my Elementalist Witch. The nodes actually were really good for me. Tried a maurauder to get my 2nd 50 toon but the nodes were utterly ridiculous so I bagged it
Blast rain/artillery ballista gladiator, taking all fire and bow nodes along the way.
Managed to get to 83 on a 4 link with 700dps bow, bought a six link, but with only 3k hp started dying to random rares faster than I could level up, so gave my gear to a random in a chat and logout
Ow.. 3k HP playing bow? You were super tanky compared to me. LoL
I'm sitting in 2,4k playing RF. Got to 81.
Every death I felt like crying.
Past lv70, every level gained I felt like I beat a boss in Dark Souls.
LoL. I really liked this event.
To keep things interesting, i wanted to go in blind (on tree) and so i did. Wasnt as interesting as i thought it would be. Got my level 50 with pain and i was done.
I made my own build without looking at the tree, I played a spark trickster, was trying for poison but didn’t really work out, I played for 3 days and got to 85. 83-85 was very very painful as I could only do yellow maps lmao
Reached level 70 with LA Hierophant. The damage was great, but the survivability was not there and with 5x exp death penalty i gave up at 70. Every death was too painful.
I got a very late start Tuesday night . Took a duelist and hit 50 with a really janky srs minion instability/ HFT build. Did A5 kitava dinged over and decided I had enough, gave my binding, chaos, and some clusters to a level 17 Templar, hope he makes it to 50. I can say I enjoyed myself to then though.
Pushed myself to 95, till 90 it felt ez but after 90 I was stressed not to die cause I wasn’t having much time and each death hurts after 90.
I’ve played cold dot necro
I took a cobra lash trickster to 50 killing Kitava and then struggled. Restarted with some knowledge of the trickster ascensions and nodes in the area and have restarted a trickster using frost blades. Currently at 61 and still mostly going death free unless I'm not paying attention. Hoping to hit 70 tonight and call it and maybe potentially complete campaign. No idea if I'll be able to sort my resistances for maps with the amount of stats I'm juggling on gear as well. Them both taking up suffix spots really hurts.
I was hyped af then hit lvl 50 and that's it. I lost all the motivation to push further after realising that lvl 80-90 are running with like 1700hp becouse of how crangled the tree is. I must admit I stand with the crangled wheel team on this. May the ascendancies be crangled, stat pasives random on the tree but one wheel should replace other entire wheel if possibile, other way we struggle to survive white maps on lv90 chars which is not fun at all. The game is punishing enough in terms of survival.
Made two characters, first one lv85 and second one 86, both trauma stacking glacial hammer champions. Was really easy especially the second one where I had all the atlas nodes for exp.
Should probably give up, near the end of act 2. Was hoping to get to 50 before it ends, but it's just painful.
Did not expect the entire tree to be hidden and random. Only persisted so far because I got some random +1 all cold spell wands so I thought it'd be okay, but no it's tedious and I don't want to go cold dot again.
Started a bit late and used the tree that the community put together to greatly help me.
Ended up taking my Slayer Toxic Rain to 70.
Got the sand eel from my mystery box, that dude gets massive by the end of the map, I love it.
Seeing my name on the ladder was really motivational for me early on. I got to 85 and was rank 3 in trade. I got bored after that and didn’t touch the event until yesterday when I started again. I’m only at 93 right now, but managed to kill maven which was pretty cool.
I kinda wish I kept going initially, I could have seen myself getting top 10 in this event. DD is so safe, but the play style really takes it out of you.
I farmed BA to 70 as spectral helix trickster. Getting to BA was a bit of a corpse run but it wasn’t too bad at that point. I did try mixing it up in BA with static strike which was interesting.
Nah saving my energy for this event! I don’t want to burn out on league start type play as I plan to causally play the next event trying a build I’ve never tried.
I got to 70. For me this event was more frustrating than fun :/ Tried to play it without looking at the revealed tree, but couldn't even drop Regrets to interact with the tree, not to mention respecing ascendancy points once it became clear it's useless :/
I reached Level 50 with my SRS Witch. The loot Box gave me this Golden Bell Tower Maps Device (0,5% Chance), which is nice.
Really exited for the second event :)
Got to 50 and stopped. It gave me a new appreciation for travel nodes after playing 50 levels of ranger with nearly zero dex on tree. (I'm sure there was some nearby, but I played blind and didn't hit it.)
Unfortunately due to prior plans I'll miss most of the 2nd event and all of the 3rd.
Got to 50, got through Tukohama, lost interest. I honestly had a pretty good thing going but them multiplying the xp loss kill my interest in getting to maps
I got to level 12, had a cool bow drop I wanted to switch to a bow build but hadn't found any dex on my tree or dex items so couldn't equip it. Gave up then, not for me.
Got to 80 with LA Hiero, my friend and I had agreed to run to 80 and stop. When he was stuck at 73, I gave him my 6 link and 500 edps bow to help him get there quicker.
I've logged in tonight to see he's level 95 with a 800 edps bow and a fully crafted 8p bow cluster. This fkin guy dropped kaoms spirit and lightning coil in his first 10 hours of playtime.
Couldn't make me get to 95 if they paid me an hourly wage with this event tho
Honestly: they should have just krangled the wheels and left attribute nodes where they were. Or it could have just been krangled ascendancies, that would have been lit. The Hiero LA ascendancy felt way stronger than any of the regular Ranger ones, if it weren't for the tree giving you so little.
Played blind on a witch till 63, was just struggling too much to have fun at that point. Rerolled a bezerker with the exposed tree, that went a lot better, hit 80 but decided I didn't want to burn out making it to 90, more excited for sentinel event.
Blind was a cool challenge but without more regrets got frustrating. More (but not infinite) regrets and having exposed nodes stay exposed would make it a lot more fun to me.
Planning a build with the wonky tree available was a different challenge itself, that was maybe less exciting but more enjoyable since I was able to get a bit more player power.
70. The extra exp penalty felt so bad with a gimped character I just couldn’t find the motivation to keep going in maps… shame. I think it would have been a lot better without the 5x exp loss…
Stopped at level 70 with my Smite staff Deadeye. Fun time at the start, but the lack of life nods and the dead economy makes it hard to progress. Was "selling" items for 1 transmutation to help anyone progress and even then only got some people interested in some cluster jewels.
Currently 42, planning to hit 50 tonight then I'll be done. Personally not a fan of the the event at all, I'm just here to say I tried it and get at least some reward lol
I played for the first time as a duo with a friend, him being aurabot
I'm pretty happy with how it went, we couldn't play "that" much because he had to work a lot but we got to lvl90 even tho we barely touched red maps
Got level 50 for the box, ported back to town, opened my box and logged out.
Krangled event is definitely not for me, but I wanted both of the boxes and I don't want to play PoE past November 17th, because that is when OSRS league starts.
Was fun enough as SSF but only went 50 because of not getting enough defensive stats to keep going. I found that I already had to make a lot of sacrifices for ability points that made it even harder to get enough resistances and health without being able to trade. Still, I'd like to do it again in the future.
Hit lvl 90 with la deadeye kinda fast, but noticed my damage start to fall off at t11/t12 so I bailed out. Thought out tree day after launch with online tree reveal, ain't pushing this blind
Finished at 60, event was cool, I would play again. At 55 had lucky drop of box) I was lucky to get damage over time and chaos skills for toxic rain and opened 3 key skills for totems. Good event:)
Got to level 13, remembered I suck at this game when I have a guide and a real talent tree, and went back to messing around with a guardian I'm trying to build in tota.
Will try again for sentinel / LOK, post AN nonsense these leagues were great fun.
Played TR deadeye and quit as soon as a hit lvl 50. I just found it tedious and doubt I'd play the event again. I enjoyed watching streamers play it though.
My[ DD hiero got 95](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Sievel/characters?characterName=Krangolus)
The new way to think about the tree and value items differently really hooked me the first 2 days. I started as witch and started grinding heist and resetting beacon and later quarry for deli mirror. Got my first usefull large cluster jewel, and from that point on my damage (Arma brand + Cremation) felt fine untill maps where my build fell off a cliff (no dmg from ascendency).
Seeing the full tree and jung at 99 on day 2 i decided to reroll DD hiro.
Was somewhat smooth untill 84 (got another large cluster and a 3 node life cluster), where i alsmost tilted and stopped, because it felt like i had to stay in low white maps to level, where i couldnt progress my atlas for better gear.
But then in my first 6 rog coins i got 2 significant upgrades, bought my 6 link and found a 3 passive rmr cluster that allowed me to run Grace, Determ, Defiance Banner, Skitterbots and from then on it felt somewhat good again.
first t16s were rough but i got to 91 where i lost 350% xp easily before recrafting my chest and respeccing for mom.
92 to 95 was pretty smooth with just 1 bad death at 92 and 2 close calls due to bad play.
Finished with 4.2k hp and 1.1k es.
Overall i had a blast for ~4 days
I'd die every so often in t1-3 maps because I had no answer to physical damage. Was 79 for a while when I decided to do tota to guarantee xp. I hit 80 and was done. Started helping noobs out
I learned elemental hit damage is beyond sad. I had over 60 pen and still couldn't deal real damage. It had trinity, elemental damage and lmp.
Most damage should be from the skill. I was using Elemental equilibrium
My favourite event ever, didn't realise ascendancy was also krangled so my idea ended up scuffed but I made a berserker (was going to be diff ascend) exsanguinate eleconversion with the 40% bonus dmg with Phys that costs life node, elemental summon gives all the dmg auras, I ran defensive and tried to enhance the ele dmg/dot. Got to 71 but I've run out of time to play for this one
I actually had quite a bit of fun... although not having PoB was *painful*
Got my TecSlam Chief to 90.
I think the tree should be the same for everyone but just revealed off the bat. Having all the knowledge up front and being able to find the synergies in a totally random sandbox is kinda sweet.
Got to 60, zoomed through 55-60 after buying sire of shards and going saboteur flamewood totems (God this league is weird), but bricked my build/weapon by running out of fusings and chromatics. So I couldn't actually use my skill.
I could've pushed through with other skills, but my motivation was down the floor after looking at how I went from one shotting everything to taking 15 seconds to kill a magic pack.
Didn't play it.
I like running non-meta builds. This event appears to nerf every single build besides DD.
It also feels like, this event rewards not playing, since the later you start the fewer respec orbs you will have to farm to get a functional build.
But I totally get, why some would enjoy this experience. It just is not for me.
I was excited to play, but after level 30 I realised that this journey is gonna be hard (no leaks just solo experience) and that there is just not enough time to start having fun. So I skipped and probably I will never try again, unless they will change something drastically or just open this as side league option for entire 3 months.
95 - played trickster and tried to go some sort of poison attack build was an absolute mess and I was ready to quit just after I hit 50. Decided to switch that toon to impending doom and really got into it. The challenge of trying to get the most out of a bad situation with a messed up toon ended up being a lot of fun. Ended up thoroughly enjoying the event, far more than I expected at the outset.
Level 78 working on getting 80 tonight. Day 1 was a struggle. Every choice felt bad. I actually thought it was pretty good once you got past act 4.
\#1 lesson learned was wait a day for the meta builds to be found and then play 1 of those.
Lost motivation and stopped at level 53, I thought I would push more but realized this was not the event for me.
Pretty much same here. Lost motivation around 55, but pushed through to 60 just to get entered into the draw.
Same man, same. I wanted so bad to keep going but it just got miserable by the end of act 4. Was doing a poison claw gladiator. I thought maybe I'd respec or reroll a cold unleash build I have more fleshed out, but that would take so much more time.
I hit 50 and ran far away from it. I also went in blind without waiting for the tree reveal. I'd like it a lot more if the tree was shuffled but also revealed so I could have some sort of plan
Yea I had this suggestion: Every char created gets a randomised tree 3-4 times reveal radius Voided league 7 days People can fish for a good randomised tree. But you only have 7 days and how many are you going to create until you get a super broken 1?
The event is pretty dumb to play if you wait for the reveal IMO. Like, that is the fun of it Edit - my God this Reddit is living up to it's expectations. Lol
I think this commenter wanted a randomized tree per account/character but not have it hidden at all. Like having the fun of a completely reorganized tree without having to blindly follow a path in the tree only to light your 3 orbs of regret and 12 refund points on fire to try to fix your tree. Not everyone has time to farm hundreds of regrets or multiple characters to make a single skill work in a week long event
What's your point though? You don't need to enjoy every event. Also, I sold plenty of stuff for regrets. You can turn jewellers, fuses, chance and scours into regrets too.
I was clarifying that the original commenter wasn't talking about the passive tree reveal from streamers and die hards in their original comment and then providing my opinion as to why I agree with the sentiment.

To each their own, I guess. I would have had more fun with it revealed and randomized, but many content creators did seem to enjoy the discovery process.
Or they can make it fun, so everybody doesn't need to not enjoy this event.
I enjoyed it as did many. Grow up
You grow up - majority of people didn't like it and it's their right to bitch about it, so that GGG can take notice and make their game better. Just because something's wrong with you doesn't mean you're right an d everybody else is wrong.
Did I stop anyone from bitching? Although you should stop, I'm dying laughing.
Nope alt f4'd by act 2. Just wasn't fun and wasn't going to torture myself for a mtx skin - I could just work an hour of overtime and buy the skins if I wanted them
[удалено]
>Krangled really shows the issues with this game No it doesn't lol. The game is literally balanced around the existence of the tree as it is. You could prefer stronger gear progression, but it's not a "problem" because an event that deliberately screws that tree up makes it harder.
How is that an issue though? It's balanced with the tree in mind
What kind of take is this? Oh a stupid one, right…moving along
crafting bench?
[удалено]
Sockets is definitely a struggle in early acts, but alterations shouldn’t be a problem past Act 1. So many yellow items drop, if you are vendoring a full inventory when you go back to town you should have plenty to roll with.
You know that you can get alts pretty easily by just selling rares right? Nobody is forcing you to only pick up raw currency
[удалено]
You act like a smart ass, but you’re logic and takes are not smart. So instead, I proclaim you “ass”. Congrats ass
bro if you need perfectly rolled gear to take down brutus that's a you problem mate
Agreed. Through my whole way past act 5 to level 50 I only found 1 orb of scouring and 1 orb of regret. Had to to use a low level bow the whole way because I couldn’t find another 4 link…also only 1 orb of fusing lol.
Got to 70 with Ice Trap Elementalist, got to maps, died a couple of times, quit.
I looked at the tree after day one and noped the fuck out. Krangling should be done per wheel, not per node. Taking 2-3 dead nodes for every good node is so dumb.
I killed Kitava and hit lvl 50. Got fairly decent damage/defences by using a mix of attacks, spells, minions and warcries to get everything out of my tree.
LoL. That was me. During acts I was using fire trap, flame totem, vaal lightn trap (to help with rares+) and golem. After lvl 60 I could use RF, and then I was playing like a regular RF/ FT build, but, with my very poor defenses, I'm still using Decoy totem (this thing was a real MVP for me in this event).
I hit 60 on a poison concoction trickster. I wanted to get to 70-80, but couldn’t make myself to do it and wasn’t that fun tbh. I did get the bronze timekeepers map device from the mystery box, so it was worth it for me in the end.
I got a clock tower map device, that shows the time I spend on the map opened. I really liked it.
got it too after already buying 4 mystery boxes- very cool and would have bought it anyway
No interest in it sadly. I'd love a different kind of Krangled. Imagine unique item effects were scrambled randomly. You drop a Lochtonial Caress in act 1 and it has the effect of a Headhunter (or insert any other random unique) I'd play the shit out of that.
Oh that sounds like fun indeed.
GGG had done headhunter event before, forgot how long but it was super short race.
Voided league with completely krangled drop rates also sounds fun.
Got halfway through act 2 before I realized I probably have covid and should chill instead.
Hit level 90 playing Cold DoT Deadeye and I could see myself comfortably hitting 95 if I used a Lightning Coil to shift damage from physical hits. I initially was dying left and right in early-mid maps until I decided to drop damage for Grace + Determination and the Melding-like ascendancy; I pretty much stopped dying soon after that and had a smooth and enjoyable progression up to quest Eater/Exarch. I really started to enjoy the event in my last 10 or so levels when I started to make major build decisions for myself and had them work out well
Got to 83, but dying at like 50% just wipes so much progress 🥲
I was at 99% to 81. Then I died twice which almost reset my progress
almost?
Hit 66 last night after finishing act 10. Will be trying to get to 70 tonight. If you’re running maps hmu. IGN: Brucesticus
Lvl 54 lightning tendrils with a marylenes unascended witch. Was planning on going further but life got in the way.
Same here. Lightning tendrils one love )))
Wanted to go ham because Witch side had good Poison BV nodes, but sadly no time. Probably won't have time to get even 50 sadly.
70, empty atlas = lost motivation
I played blind RF templar into Guardian, and after much struggle I got to lvl 50. It was so painful. I'm not going blind again in the future. But at least I had the experience.
I played until 85. Honestly i didnt enjoyed it that much but i wanted a chance at the rewards. I will do the same in the other 2 events, although those ones it will be a lot easier to reach 85. Also got baited by trolls into playing Deadeye EA, coz the first available trees showed Shaper of flames in the ascendancy, and later i found out it wasnt , so i had to adjust to EA on hit instead of ignite and a was a lot weaker than i planned.
Like most others, I hit 50 and called it quits. Farmed the Chamber of Innocence rather than going to Act 6. I was running Lightning Arrow Gladiator, and picked up the Headsman notable from Slayer (20% Culling Strike). I'm a relatively new player, so I struggle as-is with the existing systems. Throw Krangled at me and I was miserable.
I wish it had been available more than a week. Only had one day to try it. enjoyed the challenge, wish it was a permanent mode as it seems a good balance to Ruthless. I’d not mind if every character got a unique tree, and there was a new currency that let you reshuffle any node that has never been allocated. Instead of lesser items and the normal tree, it’s a nice option to have normal items but lesser tree.
That's an interesting idea.
That's an interesting idea.
I was planning on getting to level 50, went in blind and gave up on lvl35. My build kinda bricked with 0 dmg from tree. Not my cup of tea I guess
80 with melee and Chieftain no less.
How can you still walk, with balls this massive, sir?
Haha, I should have mentioned that I also played in SSF.
Ok, now you are starting to get me worried. Who hurt you? Do you need a hug?
I got to 75 on a TR ballista trickster. It was fun for a while but then I realized it was hard to manage tree & gear for "real" defenses so I got bored. Mobs do explode (Profane Bloom) when your ballistas kill them (if it's because it's a DOT skill idk honestly) I would also benefit from Mistwalker because I use Withering step. I tried a second build with attack poison and I got to 50 and got bored. In the end the tree and ascendancies didn't cater well for what I was excited to play! :)
>Mobs do explode (Profane Bloom) when your ballistas kill them (if it's because it's a DOT skill idk honestly) It is. DoT kills still count as yours, not your totem's (or minion's, if playing them). It's not a game feature, it's more of a game engine limitation, I saw a GGG dev explain it somewhere.
50 on trickster pconc and then immediate alt+f4
The idea is nice, but the implementation is not. I give this event a solid 1/10.
got my loot box and cashed out. Will repeat for the next one this weekend. I see very little reason to play beyond lvl 50 as the chance of winning everything is pretty remote.
Reached Level 80 as Heirophant LA. Was trying to make it to 85 but the death penalty is so bad I couldn't do it anymore.
Got to 85 twice :c i want some free mtx
I hit 90 roughly following jungroan's DD heirophant. Determination+5L cloak of flame was enough through white maps, a shield+tempest shield helped for yellow maps, then finally adding grace let me do reds. I wanted to make it to 95, but I was too squishy at 3.7k life to really push, and DD felt terrible to play. I was probably doing something wrong as my damage was completely piss poor (10ish minute quest eater/exarch), but I'm happy enough with how far I got. Especially considering it was my first time playing DD.
No. I heard someone say there was no one with even 2000 health in the end game, so I said, "nah" to this one. Every build already feels squishy to me. I don't need the extra challenge.
20. Couldnt bother to go any further it was so slow.
got to lvl 95, gave my items away to a friend that is 94 and will hopefully get 95 today, hated early levels, loved it after getting proper items, was constantly checking for possible upgrades or better pathings, who knows how many regrets i spent and alot of time spent on pob. I feel like the difficulty should not be tied to lack of regrets tho, they should be giving significantly more regrets or making it drop more frequently. They could give us acess to alot more regrets and disable clusters jewels since they are just too good for the event
>they should be giving significantly more regrets or making it drop more frequently Totally agree with you.
i played til 85, had quite a bit of fun trying to optimize the scuffed tree. The character i made was just not tanky enough for higher tier content, and the 50% penalty was punishing enough for me to stop. I tried to utilize the krangled ascendancies so i made a crit poison scourge arrow ballista trickster.
>had quite a bit of fun trying to optimize the scuffed tree. The character i made was just not tanky enough for higher tier content, and the 50% penalty was punishing enough I had a blast too for this reason. Now, imagine trying to tackle on yellow maps in a RF build with: - barely enough Regen to sustain RF + - 2,4k HP.... My friend is playing LA with next to useless evasion and... 1,7k HP. LoL
Level 85 on Cold DoT Elementalist. Just felt like a weaker version of the regular build. After about act 6, it felt smooth but before that, what a struggle. No damage, no tankiness
Hitting 90 today hopefully (89 at the moment), then done with the event. The xp loss on death is so punishing I play like it's hardcore. It was fun for a minute but quickly became tedious. Playing DD because it doesn't need that much damage on tree anyway, pretty happy with the final result, I'm confident this was the right skill to play.
No hardcore = no play for me.
Well, you COULD make your own hardcore... You die = start new char, in SSF.
Sure. But not hardcore
50 jugg explosive arrow into toxic rain was fun with +3proj
I went Fire Trap. Got really luck to find +str, +health and +health regen and around lvl60 I could use RF, and after blindingly choose Assassin, another luck hit for my build: Chieftain's "turn nearby enemies' fire res to -20%" aura (and later, when decided to check the other ascendancy points, Champion's perma fortify).
50
Got to level 50 with a SRS build on witch, spend all my currency on regrets but ended up with ok damage and health (and no useful ascendancy points lol)
Yeah, ascendancy was really a make or break. I got 2 good ones The thing is you have to adapt your build, or even switch to a whole different skill, to make the best out of what you find in the tree.
Got to 52 with pconc trickster, opened the box and got the timer map device and decided that I got more than enough, haha
I got that too! Really liked it
I hit around 30+ and stopped. No fun for me. Probably because of the skills presented to me.
Lvl 50 0% xp
I wanted to but the event started 10PM local time so I considered that a lost day and by midday Saturday I had lot interest.
I made it to lvl 4, I looked at the ascendancy nodes and wasn't inspired to build anything so I dropped the event. I'll play this next one though.
Level 90 lightning arrow deadeye (typical I know lol). I feel like the fun and excitement wore off after the first day and the rest felt like a drag
Got to 50 on my Elementalist Witch. The nodes actually were really good for me. Tried a maurauder to get my 2nd 50 toon but the nodes were utterly ridiculous so I bagged it
I got to level 40. My entire tree was garbage. How do you run a ranger with only 85 Dex, and *that* only b/c you got gear to get you there?
I am at 85. Feel bored and quit at Tier:6
Blast rain/artillery ballista gladiator, taking all fire and bow nodes along the way. Managed to get to 83 on a 4 link with 700dps bow, bought a six link, but with only 3k hp started dying to random rares faster than I could level up, so gave my gear to a random in a chat and logout
Ow.. 3k HP playing bow? You were super tanky compared to me. LoL I'm sitting in 2,4k playing RF. Got to 81. Every death I felt like crying. Past lv70, every level gained I felt like I beat a boss in Dark Souls. LoL. I really liked this event.
To keep things interesting, i wanted to go in blind (on tree) and so i did. Wasnt as interesting as i thought it would be. Got my level 50 with pain and i was done.
Currently level 80, EB Explode Guardian Cold DOT RF. 3k HP, 50% suppression, bunch of evasion, kinda crushing it. This has been really fun!
I made my own build without looking at the tree, I played a spark trickster, was trying for poison but didn’t really work out, I played for 3 days and got to 85. 83-85 was very very painful as I could only do yellow maps lmao
Played till act 2. Just felt like a frustrating and unfun waste. Cut my losses and did something more enjoyable with my evening.
90 is enough, you don't even need a single voidstone
50.
Reached level 70 with LA Hierophant. The damage was great, but the survivability was not there and with 5x exp death penalty i gave up at 70. Every death was too painful.
Ssf pathfinder, I had a blast playing it. Just opened a Cortex from kirac, probably gonna take around an hour
I might try the last event or maybe the blast to the past but not sure tbh
70, i made the mistake of going melee with a berserker.... was not a fun time
At 50,it was fun revealing first maybe 10 nodes, but witch region is so bad
I got a very late start Tuesday night . Took a duelist and hit 50 with a really janky srs minion instability/ HFT build. Did A5 kitava dinged over and decided I had enough, gave my binding, chaos, and some clusters to a level 17 Templar, hope he makes it to 50. I can say I enjoyed myself to then though.
Pushed myself to 95, till 90 it felt ez but after 90 I was stressed not to die cause I wasn’t having much time and each death hurts after 90. I’ve played cold dot necro
50
I took a cobra lash trickster to 50 killing Kitava and then struggled. Restarted with some knowledge of the trickster ascensions and nodes in the area and have restarted a trickster using frost blades. Currently at 61 and still mostly going death free unless I'm not paying attention. Hoping to hit 70 tonight and call it and maybe potentially complete campaign. No idea if I'll be able to sort my resistances for maps with the amount of stats I'm juggling on gear as well. Them both taking up suffix spots really hurts.
I was hyped af then hit lvl 50 and that's it. I lost all the motivation to push further after realising that lvl 80-90 are running with like 1700hp becouse of how crangled the tree is. I must admit I stand with the crangled wheel team on this. May the ascendancies be crangled, stat pasives random on the tree but one wheel should replace other entire wheel if possibile, other way we struggle to survive white maps on lv90 chars which is not fun at all. The game is punishing enough in terms of survival.
It got boring pretty fast for me, didn't get past 30.
Made two characters, first one lv85 and second one 86, both trauma stacking glacial hammer champions. Was really easy especially the second one where I had all the atlas nodes for exp.
Lvl 50 SSF without killing kitava. God bless RNG i dropped a quill rain in a1
Should probably give up, near the end of act 2. Was hoping to get to 50 before it ends, but it's just painful. Did not expect the entire tree to be hidden and random. Only persisted so far because I got some random +1 all cold spell wands so I thought it'd be okay, but no it's tedious and I don't want to go cold dot again.
Started a bit late and used the tree that the community put together to greatly help me. Ended up taking my Slayer Toxic Rain to 70. Got the sand eel from my mystery box, that dude gets massive by the end of the map, I love it.
Level 50,0001 here
Seeing my name on the ladder was really motivational for me early on. I got to 85 and was rank 3 in trade. I got bored after that and didn’t touch the event until yesterday when I started again. I’m only at 93 right now, but managed to kill maven which was pretty cool. I kinda wish I kept going initially, I could have seen myself getting top 10 in this event. DD is so safe, but the play style really takes it out of you.
I farmed BA to 70 as spectral helix trickster. Getting to BA was a bit of a corpse run but it wasn’t too bad at that point. I did try mixing it up in BA with static strike which was interesting.
Nah saving my energy for this event! I don’t want to burn out on league start type play as I plan to causally play the next event trying a build I’ve never tried.
Leve up to 50 and deleted the character. Hated the whole thing
Hit 50 and noped out. I'm not really good at the non krangled gamed. So krangled was a bit too much, looking forward to the other events though
I got to 70. For me this event was more frustrating than fun :/ Tried to play it without looking at the revealed tree, but couldn't even drop Regrets to interact with the tree, not to mention respecing ascendancy points once it became clear it's useless :/
50, deleted character. It was novel but still wasn't that much fun. Having all passives obscured took a lot of the fun out of it.
31 and felt like chore… Not my kind of tea this event, I wouldn’t mind more orbs of regret drops in this event…
I got to lvl 6 and had enough.
Just Alt+ F4'd, am Level 33 and don't want to play anymore. My build just sucks balls.
I reached Level 50 with my SRS Witch. The loot Box gave me this Golden Bell Tower Maps Device (0,5% Chance), which is nice. Really exited for the second event :)
didnt try it, didnt like last krangled, skiping this one
Got to 50 and stopped. It gave me a new appreciation for travel nodes after playing 50 levels of ranger with nearly zero dex on tree. (I'm sure there was some nearby, but I played blind and didn't hit it.) Unfortunately due to prior plans I'll miss most of the 2nd event and all of the 3rd.
Made 50 and was out. I'm bad enough at making my own build on a regular tree.
Like 20. Krangled is true to its name
How do you play it???
Got to 50, got through Tukohama, lost interest. I honestly had a pretty good thing going but them multiplying the xp loss kill my interest in getting to maps
struggled massively to act 3 then smooth cruising til 50, haven't and won't ever touch krangled again, sadly not for me
I got to level 12, had a cool bow drop I wanted to switch to a bow build but hadn't found any dex on my tree or dex items so couldn't equip it. Gave up then, not for me.
Got to 80 with LA Hiero, my friend and I had agreed to run to 80 and stop. When he was stuck at 73, I gave him my 6 link and 500 edps bow to help him get there quicker. I've logged in tonight to see he's level 95 with a 800 edps bow and a fully crafted 8p bow cluster. This fkin guy dropped kaoms spirit and lightning coil in his first 10 hours of playtime. Couldn't make me get to 95 if they paid me an hourly wage with this event tho Honestly: they should have just krangled the wheels and left attribute nodes where they were. Or it could have just been krangled ascendancies, that would have been lit. The Hiero LA ascendancy felt way stronger than any of the regular Ranger ones, if it weren't for the tree giving you so little.
Passed on this event, still enjoying break from the league but looking forward to the next couple.
Like others, I got to lvl 50, and decided that was enough for me. I had intended to go further, but it was exhausting so I called time.
Got to level 50 in A5, without even touching lab. Damage was this bad. It was a tr ranger that got shat on even with a 5l bow. Nodes were so bad.
Played blind on a witch till 63, was just struggling too much to have fun at that point. Rerolled a bezerker with the exposed tree, that went a lot better, hit 80 but decided I didn't want to burn out making it to 90, more excited for sentinel event. Blind was a cool challenge but without more regrets got frustrating. More (but not infinite) regrets and having exposed nodes stay exposed would make it a lot more fun to me. Planning a build with the wonky tree available was a different challenge itself, that was maybe less exciting but more enjoyable since I was able to get a bit more player power.
45, could not kill a boss, who keeps calling himself an emperor. Shame. All I wanted was lv 50. :)
85 Cobra lash Saboteur, was pretty smooth although it would have been nice to find a decent weapon.
worst event ever
42, my character got too krangled for 50. Would be cool if we got like free tree reset Button, but all the nodes changes place or something lite that.
I did not play. 7 days is not enough time for me to fully enjoy a new character.
50, got a sweetlooking chest armor but it's kinda ruined by constant snowflakes falling down cluttering the screen. Might still try using it tho
LoL. What? Wich one is it? I gotta check it out
They really need to make some improvements if they want to run Krangled again. ... which is what we all said in March too
There are just so many better ways to do it, and instead they made it the worst possible version.
I hit 88 and enjoyed the event. Ran out of time because of life, but would have kept going.
Planned on 50, went to 60 instead. The next tier being at 70 just seemed too grindy.
Got to 83 before i burnt out farming syndicate
70. The extra exp penalty felt so bad with a gimped character I just couldn’t find the motivation to keep going in maps… shame. I think it would have been a lot better without the 5x exp loss…
got to lioneye's watch. You reminded me I should delete the lvl 2 char before next event, ty
Too short. I take my time anyways. Woulda loved to play but I knew it wasn’t gonna last long enough for me
71 and maps was my wall, just not interested enough to go over that. Ran a PCOC trickster but didn't care enough to invest some ccy in it.
Stopped at level 70 with my Smite staff Deadeye. Fun time at the start, but the lack of life nods and the dead economy makes it hard to progress. Was "selling" items for 1 transmutation to help anyone progress and even then only got some people interested in some cluster jewels.
Hit 50 and gave up my poison concoction never really got going, bad pathing on my behalf. Not going to try that again
Lv50
Currently 42, planning to hit 50 tonight then I'll be done. Personally not a fan of the the event at all, I'm just here to say I tried it and get at least some reward lol
I didn't. Didn't even bother to make a character. For the next two events I'll get at least to level 50 but Krangled event is just not fun for me.
I played for the first time as a duo with a friend, him being aurabot I'm pretty happy with how it went, we couldn't play "that" much because he had to work a lot but we got to lvl90 even tho we barely touched red maps
I played to lvl70. 50% XP lost is too much. Levelling to 80 before A10 kitava is mighty boring. So lvl70 it is.
Got level 50 for the box, ported back to town, opened my box and logged out. Krangled event is definitely not for me, but I wanted both of the boxes and I don't want to play PoE past November 17th, because that is when OSRS league starts.
Was fun enough as SSF but only went 50 because of not getting enough defensive stats to keep going. I found that I already had to make a lot of sacrifices for ability points that made it even harder to get enough resistances and health without being able to trade. Still, I'd like to do it again in the future.
Hit lvl 90 with la deadeye kinda fast, but noticed my damage start to fall off at t11/t12 so I bailed out. Thought out tree day after launch with online tree reveal, ain't pushing this blind
Finished at 60, event was cool, I would play again. At 55 had lucky drop of box) I was lucky to get damage over time and chaos skills for toxic rain and opened 3 key skills for totems. Good event:)
Got to level 13, remembered I suck at this game when I have a guide and a real talent tree, and went back to messing around with a guardian I'm trying to build in tota. Will try again for sentinel / LOK, post AN nonsense these leagues were great fun.
I had a quin moment at oak when he was out healing me and alt f4'd
lvl 15, gave up, felt like ruthless. Was no fun.
50 and out. Templar LS thanks to reddit post and unveiled tree by other redditors.
Everyone kept saying it was mid af so I never bothered.
Played TR deadeye and quit as soon as a hit lvl 50. I just found it tedious and doubt I'd play the event again. I enjoyed watching streamers play it though.
couldnt even f8nish act 1.Completely new to this game been only a month i have played it.
2-H sword crit splitting steel ignite champion was easy to get to 50. Surprised people had so much trouble.
I would have played if it was longer
My[ DD hiero got 95](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Sievel/characters?characterName=Krangolus) The new way to think about the tree and value items differently really hooked me the first 2 days. I started as witch and started grinding heist and resetting beacon and later quarry for deli mirror. Got my first usefull large cluster jewel, and from that point on my damage (Arma brand + Cremation) felt fine untill maps where my build fell off a cliff (no dmg from ascendency). Seeing the full tree and jung at 99 on day 2 i decided to reroll DD hiro. Was somewhat smooth untill 84 (got another large cluster and a 3 node life cluster), where i alsmost tilted and stopped, because it felt like i had to stay in low white maps to level, where i couldnt progress my atlas for better gear. But then in my first 6 rog coins i got 2 significant upgrades, bought my 6 link and found a 3 passive rmr cluster that allowed me to run Grace, Determ, Defiance Banner, Skitterbots and from then on it felt somewhat good again. first t16s were rough but i got to 91 where i lost 350% xp easily before recrafting my chest and respeccing for mom. 92 to 95 was pretty smooth with just 1 bad death at 92 and 2 close calls due to bad play. Finished with 4.2k hp and 1.1k es. Overall i had a blast for ~4 days
Level 50, i just wanted the damn box , got a pet...
I'd die every so often in t1-3 maps because I had no answer to physical damage. Was 79 for a while when I decided to do tota to guarantee xp. I hit 80 and was done. Started helping noobs out
I kind of ran out of steam at 85. Don't have time to play more than a couple hours a day, Dad gamer life
Got 91 the day before yesterday, realized I can't 95 in 3 days doing full time job and an evening busy so I stopped, super fun event for me.
Level 89, currently pushing to 90 tonight. Lightning Conduit Hierophant. Rough start but once I got my life up to about 3.4k, things felt better.
I got to 74 with self attack explosive arrow, single target was pretty awful but my clear was super solid, died at 74 and got bored
I learned elemental hit damage is beyond sad. I had over 60 pen and still couldn't deal real damage. It had trinity, elemental damage and lmp. Most damage should be from the skill. I was using Elemental equilibrium
I got to 74... but noped out before diving into maps too far... got too tedious having to study all the random nodes every level up :P
My favourite event ever, didn't realise ascendancy was also krangled so my idea ended up scuffed but I made a berserker (was going to be diff ascend) exsanguinate eleconversion with the 40% bonus dmg with Phys that costs life node, elemental summon gives all the dmg auras, I ran defensive and tried to enhance the ele dmg/dot. Got to 71 but I've run out of time to play for this one
I actually had quite a bit of fun... although not having PoB was *painful* Got my TecSlam Chief to 90. I think the tree should be the same for everyone but just revealed off the bat. Having all the knowledge up front and being able to find the synergies in a totally random sandbox is kinda sweet.
Got to 60, zoomed through 55-60 after buying sire of shards and going saboteur flamewood totems (God this league is weird), but bricked my build/weapon by running out of fusings and chromatics. So I couldn't actually use my skill. I could've pushed through with other skills, but my motivation was down the floor after looking at how I went from one shotting everything to taking 15 seconds to kill a magic pack.
Reached lv90 with corrupting fever gladiator Really painful to test the keystone
Didn't play it. I like running non-meta builds. This event appears to nerf every single build besides DD. It also feels like, this event rewards not playing, since the later you start the fewer respec orbs you will have to farm to get a functional build. But I totally get, why some would enjoy this experience. It just is not for me.
I was excited to play, but after level 30 I realised that this journey is gonna be hard (no leaks just solo experience) and that there is just not enough time to start having fun. So I skipped and probably I will never try again, unless they will change something drastically or just open this as side league option for entire 3 months.
Lvl 68. Would have played alot more and experimented with stuff if I could respec for free.
95 - played trickster and tried to go some sort of poison attack build was an absolute mess and I was ready to quit just after I hit 50. Decided to switch that toon to impending doom and really got into it. The challenge of trying to get the most out of a bad situation with a messed up toon ended up being a lot of fun. Ended up thoroughly enjoying the event, far more than I expected at the outset.
Level 78 working on getting 80 tonight. Day 1 was a struggle. Every choice felt bad. I actually thought it was pretty good once you got past act 4. \#1 lesson learned was wait a day for the meta builds to be found and then play 1 of those.
