I’m just as excited for the Uber Endgame content as the Blood Crucible scourge system. Looks like a lot of other good stuff being added too.

The new Scourge expansion for Path of Exile is finally coming out this October 22 (27 for consoles) and excitement in the community is ramping up again. Scourge brings new story elements in the game and what we find most exciting about this expansion is the random nature of the Blood Crucible. You can "scourge" your items by killing enemies and when enough has been slain, the item transforms to a special one. We especially liked the fact that if you don't like the new stats, you can "scourge" it further and repeat the process for a possible 2nd or 3rd randomization—a fantastic addition to the PoE trade system. Along with the Dream Furnace which provides buffs and debuffs to a map experience, the replay value is just through the roof. We're excited how this will affect the overall PoE currency value with regards to the general economy of the game. The Uber Endgame content they're also adding will make things more difficult but on the bright side, this means the expansion will take up a good chunk of our time since we'll need to strategize and possibly fail many times before we are able to finally take down these dungeons to a tee.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-10-14-resetera-sold-for-usd4-5-million Interesting. My first thoughts are 1) what was Resetera's annual ad revenue and 2) will new management make changes that negatively impact the community thus bringing more traffic and new membership to other forums, like VGR?

Wow, that is a great idea! If you try organizing something like that, please let me know!

So glad to see that everyone here is having a good experience with Epal.gg. I hope it provides all of you with many hours of non-toxic, enjoyable online fun.

Don't worry. I would never do that!

Welcome to VGR! 🙂

It should only be showing 3-5 times per 24 hour period. Is that correct? I'll see what I can do about the sound.

https://www.vgr.com/forum/topic/12272-video-ad-on-vgr-forum/ I need to run it for a few more days. I'll do a giveaway soon 🙂 thanks for your continued support.

Welcome to VGR!

I am running a video ad on VGR Forum for the next 2-3 days. I know it's a bit annoying but it helps pay the bill and it is at least video gaming related. Thanks for understanding and thanks for helping make VGR the best gaming community on the net! 🙂

Generally agree. Very few mirror my work ethic...

I have noticed this and have been thinking about if/how to address it. I understand both your perspective @The Blackangel but also @Shagger's as well. I could introduce a flood control, increase number of threads per page, and introduce posting limitations like X posts per 24 hours. I am still considering the options but want to let you know that I am actively thinking about how to best address this.

Of course we care! And thanks for sharing. Hope you get your dream car and it all works out 🙂

I am starting this show tonight and am very excited!

@Shagger Who is your hero?

@The Blackangel If you could travel to any year in a time machine, what year would you choose and why?

@m76 What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?

@killamch89 What's one of the most fun childhood memories you have?
