So what do you guys do in Standard League? That is, with the huge mass of *stuff* that washes up into the stash as hardcore characters fail and die? I mean, I've got a ton of good stuff there... Should I play that to get a feel for areas I've not been to yet, that sort of thing? Or somehow liquidate and buy... What? For which characters?

Honestly, my Standard tabs are a mess. I tend to play the leagues only (and am a wimpy softcore guy), only dipping back into standard between seasons. I sell the high value stuff (anything I think I can get > 2 chaos for) and vendor the rest I don't want.

I haven't looked at a standard league or softcore tab in over a year. I play hardcore league only. When the league ends I know my tabs go to the standard league but I just ignore them. I hate to think about the organizational task ahead of me should I decide to play standard league at some point.
Hardcore is just really hard once you finish the game once. Heck, *Standard* is hard on Cruel...
Sorry to be a filthy skimmer. I really want to play this but more often than not when I start it up it pauses on the loading screen for ages. And when I say ages I mean 20 minutes or more. I've tried putting a no preload command in the launch propertys but that hasn't seemed to help. Anyone know a way to fix this?
My startup time is a couple of minutes, usually. 20? Is it an older HD and processor?
Hmmm... Looking into it, what it's doing is pre-loading art assets. So try to make sure you don't have a lot already loaded into RAM, and of course a fast SSD or HDD, fast RAM and fast buses will help out too.
You can turn off the art asset preload, but then it will load assets as they come up in the game, thus causing serious lag. Probably not a good tradeoff...
Thank you I'll give that a try.
I tried shutting down my 13 tab browser and cut several minutes off the art load.
Well, I finally petered out on the Perandus Hardcore League. I got a dual righteous fire totem maurader up to level 85 and a vixtaulic rift lightning arrow ranger up to level 88. They are both still alive but I just ran out of steam after two months. Still, hard to complain after getting two straight months of gaming entertainment out of it without spending a penny.
The ranger is by far the best character I've ever put together in POE. She is absolutely torching the few Tier 8 and 9 maps I've gotten to drop. I'm talking not even breaking a sweat. Would go higher but I have been unable to get anything Tier 10 or above to drop.
You should push for 90, get the achievement at least.
Prophecy goes live this afternoon. Woot!
I'll be getting on in an hour or so to try it out!
So what's new in this league?

EDIT: PURPLE
The Prophecies seem cool. I didn't get much time in yesterday, but my first prophecy is that I will kill a monster that turns into coin.
Is the "Acquisition" program recommended by POE.is trustworthy? Are there any other trading tools I should know about after I've gotten my POE url?
Honestly, I've completely gone over to the "premium tab" trading method instead of Acquisition. If you've got the premium tabs, it's much easier to manage your trades. Otherwise, Acquisition is a good tool.
So if I do it that way, I have to refresh my online status every five minutes?
Acquisition keeps you online as long as PoE.exe is running if you input your online URL in it.
Can you actually buy and sell directly through the premium tabs or is only to show what you have for sale?
POE remains one of the games I really wanted to get into. Tried a few times now but always stop around lvl 40-50 or so.

You can only list items through the premium tabs - you still have to use a site like poe.trade to find items and do the actual trading through in-game meetups.
Starting a very fun build in the new HC Prophecy league. Skellies, corpses, flaming skulls, corpse eating, the electric umbrella and herald of lightning, and fireball. I get my zapper up, then the minions in place, and after I get about 10 or so skulls, I burn corpses and watch everything go into overdrive. I'm heavy into the energy shield, but almost nothing touches me, and I have not burned health in quite a few levels. Fun!

Can you link the build? I'm enjoying my Earthquaker, but would love to try a summoner.
I have not planned out the build; I'm still in the early part. Is that what you mean?
And I was stupidly inattentive in a hunt den and got overwhelmed and quickly wiped out. Now I need to start again. Sigh.
All - check out the latest GWJ Plays on PoE. Give it a shot - there's a massive patch coming on 9/2!
Awww Yisssssss!
BTW, is our guild leader still active?

Not sure - I haven't checked the guild tab much, honestly. I know I've seen you on, but that's about it.
I'll be firing up a new character on the second for the new content patch - feel free to ping me and/or hop on curse if you're looking to relieve some of the leveling boredom.
Thanks man! I think I'm off that day...
Watched an IGN preview of this. Ugh seriously tempted to reinstall but I've bounced off this twice since the early access days. UI and overall presentation looks a lot better since my last visit.
