Tiltowait

So I backed PoE way back and after about 2 hours at launch, literally did not get back to it till a week ago. I am about halfway through and enjoying the story. However with an eye to my next run I am looking at various character builds to try out. Many of them point to 'find item X at location Y.' I just want to make sure, in just about all cases you cannot find specific gear (barring boss drops or quest rewards) because the game now has random loot correct?

Argh! Apple strikes again. As of iOS 10, Game Center has been removed. While it sort of appears in settings..and it shows me logged in...no way to sync with any of my existing games. All the options and features of game center have been deleted. Now I have to forum hunt on Apple for a fix.

I fired up the app on my ipad as before, it had been a while but I never deleted the app so I expected to find my saves there. The options are: START. Continue is grayed out. Are my collections (paid content) also gone? I had quite a bunch of purchased and saved chests I never opened. Where did they go? Where's my content and games please? How to access? I do not see the "connect" option that I believe accessed the servers in the past. Where did the saves get moved to? I never recieved any notifications of any pending changes.

Select discard pile. Game shows cards. ALL ARE SELECTED. CANNOT: Select one. Select none. Drag. Move. The only valid button..is to skip getting the benefit. Note any time something bad happens, not ONCE has the game ever skipped it. Took screenshot. Cards are still there. Forum bug: added screen shot 3x forum won't add it.

Combat check. Reveal Sling: 1d12 + 1d6. Recharge Archer: remove 1d12, remove 1d6. Replace with 2d4. Sorry not understanding what's going on here? Thanks!

Yup that's pretty much it. And BTW it's actually 4/3. Not sure what's going on. Is there a way to 'ping' the server counter so it double checks? Thanks!

That's pretty much it...still trying to win a second game at normal. After 50 games challenge won't advance so I decided to start a new character. (Especially since the bugs deleted my high level toons anyway) Well customize deck no longer does anything. All it does is show the same starter...period. No options to show all other basic cards available. Help please.

First game. First card...Shadow. Second card...Shadow. Third card...Shadow. Fourth card...Shadow. Fifth card...oops she dead now. No way to customize her deck otherwise I'd drop Cure for a damage spell for a 1 in 15 chance of having a magic trait for when you run into the same monster 5 turns in a row. Customize deck no longer shows all common cards as it did before. It only shows the same crap set they start her with (all slashing vs. skeleton / magic only heavy decks)

Challenge: "Win 2 Scenarios on Normal Difficulty." Okay I've won 10. (Had to play 50 games) Challenge shows 1/2. After spending all day trying to fix bugs and then dealing with the all the other crap...this is just icing on the cake.

Settings is NOT selectable. NM did a full delete and reinstall. Utter joy at crap network speeds because iOS had redl the update again. Spend more time reporting bugs and trying to fix them for hours...for maybe a few minutes of play. Thanks for the help at least you folks monitor the forums.

...had to start all over. Not sure why.

App store says "Open" Apps says out of date. Do not want to lose daily/weekly rewards when I am only one game short because app is bugged and cannot play.

Now help pop ups always appear. These pop ups cannot be dismissed and NOTHING else is selectable. As I bought this game and already know how to play the pop-ups (tap here to look at a card) at not needed at best and game halting (because you can't do anything) at worst. How do you turn them off? Remember they appear the moment the game starts and nothing else is selectable. Not menus, setup, nothing. On another note: 10d8, 4d6: 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1....really?

Encounter boss that generate Sinspawn (Erylium). Defeat Sinspawn. (2 checks) Game gets greeked graphics bug and a second Sinspawn is summoned. (2 more checks) Defeat Sinspawn. Game gets greeked graphics bug and a third Sinspawn is summoned. (2 more checks) Defeat Sinspawn. Game gets greeked graphics bug and a fourth Sinspawn is summoned. (2 more checks) All in the same location...all against the same lone character. Never managed to actually fight the boss. Any way to fix this? Did a reset, quit to main menu, view vault, etc...still same bug. Lost the hours worth of play...and on a worknight that's a huge bite of my free time wasted (esp since I restart after the first 3 snake eyes in a row).

He always rolls 1 or 2 if I defeat him. The moment I get the 1,1,2,3 on 4 dice, then he rolls 6. This was the 8th fight for that single encounter. I cannot figure out a way to beat the RNG.

I was swapping the magic weapons between characters and noticed that one had lost an ally. No worries, I'll just hit the arrow and add another basic ally. To my surprise everything else that is in the pool is immediately deleted and lost and you cannot go back to that screen. Kind of annoying, I'm sure deathbane will drop all the time...right? Fix or workaround please? TY.

Cast Cure. Roll die. Game: no. You cannot roll the die. Has anyone come up with a fix for this? What does not work: Forfeit (no point) Vault Quit and restart. Quit, load quest mode instead, then go back to story mode. Uninstall reinstall. Quit app and reload.

A shield is armor...Nuala does force damage which a shield doesn't stop. I've managed to grind Seelah to the point where she has magic weapons and boosted her abilities that both spells and blessings recharge. Partnered her with Kyra to make up for bad RNG streaks and she's doing much better now.

Qualifier: hardest solo or in team? I went with solo. To be successful there are several factors: Making checks. Card cycling. Encounter deck acceleration. Intel. Recovering from bad RNG. The issue with Valeroes and Amiri is that they are too focused. They will shine in weapons combat...and not much else. And facing magic only or arcane only, divine only. etc...checks , you are done. There no point on winning every combat check...if you cannot make that arcane or divine check to close a location. Does a character have a way to go through encounter decks faster? Does the character have a method to know what is coming? For example, IMO the best soloer is Kyra, then Seelah. Kyra can make a broad range of checks and has enough item and ally slots to address some weaknesses such as barriers, dex checks, etc...once Kyra picks up Augury, she now has a way to sort and scout ahead in an encounter deck. Plus she can face undead that require magic to defeat from day 1 with a innate bonus to her check. And she can stock a cure spell to recover cards if she hits a bad RNG streak...and make no mistake YOU will. Note if you play Kyra solely as a healer, than she is not being fully used. All divine cards for her are healing. That means you could load her up with Inflict spells which gives her a decent combat check, and if she fails to recharge, then discard either a divine spell/blessing, etc. to get multiple cards back. Seelah can make regular combat and divine checks. She cannot defeat magic banes which puts her slightly behind Kyra IMO at start. However she can add 1d6 to any check, and with Crusade so can zip through an encounter deck and get them closed much faster, giving you breathing room to go through the remaining ones with time to spare. When she gets a magic weapon, her life is good and she'll pass Kyra. Lem is good because he can make arcane and divine, plus always start with a weapon, and have allies/items to addresses weak points...but his class power works with a group. Seoni is fair, but she doesn't start with enough spells to benefit from her auto-recharge and her alternate attack powers discards cards u will need later and she has zero methods to recover from discards. So best duo is probably Kyra and Seelah. You will almost never die, you'll know what's coming and can even change them, plus you can zip thru encounter decks at high speed.

Seelah Inspire. First four uses all draw weapons, then her Cure Spell. Had other healer cast Cure twice (because 1d4+1 = 2 each time). 4 more uses of inspire needed because no weapon. Again draw the same weapons and cure. I can accept that. But what I find amazing is that not only was it the same cards lost it was the exact same sequence. Could we have the card randomizer looked at? Cannot retry because all checks to recharge Cure (3d12+2, 3d8+2) failed.

Playing Valeros and Amiri. First bane: Specter. No magic, cannot defeat. Also scenario spawns another monster. Second bane: Siren. Insuff wisdom, cannot defeat. Also scenario spawns another monster. No blessings in hand. Third bane: Shadow. No magic, cannot defeat. Also scenario spawns another monster. 4th bane: Boss, spawns another monster, spawns Sinspawn, which spawns another monster. Boss fled to Location that does 2 mental which cannot be reduced when you draw a blessing. Drew 3 in a row. No armor to banish/bury. Forfeited at this point.

Quest mode. Lem at one location. Valeros at another. Lem's turn. Before draw encounter deck, cast Stride. Does NOT allow you to choose character, only location. Select location. Lem moves, NOT other character per text of card. Second time waited until drew from encounter deck, now Stride is not castable. End of turn, cast Stride same result, cannot choose character, only self.

I just had to forfeit another game. Running Lem and Valeros. These are all the checks: Vs. Goblin Lose 1 card before action. Combat roll: d10 = 1 vs. Pit Dex check d8 = 1 vs. Shadow Roll 2d10+2 = 1+1+2 = 4 Roll Cure spell 1d4+1 = 1+1 = 2 Rechage 2d10+2 = 1+2+2 = 5. vs. Enchantress lose 1 card. roll d10 +1d4 = 2+1 = 3 vs. goblin roll 3d4 = 1+1+1, discard 7, bury 1. Lem down to 1 card in library. Boss. 4d10+1d4+2, target 11, roll = 1+1+1+2+2+2 = 9 At this point had to forfeit. For the life of me I cannot figure what tactics would have worked better. So how to improve the odds?

Figured it out. Was related to the entire game being frozen. The vault view fix didn't work...but quitting and reloading the actual save game did.

Fix: Quit session. Restart app. Main menu. Story mode. Select save game. Actions now available.
