Forever Exiled

In episode 177 of Forever Exiled, we go non-stop. And it all started with corpses. Darn it, GGG! After all this time playing Path of Exile we're still being surprised by how some mechanics work! Though we're coming to the tail end of the Forbidden Sanctum, there's still tons of gameplay to be had, Atlas Passives to respec, questions to ask, theory-crafting to be...crafted! 3.20 is such...

Not even real life can stop the love of Path of Exile in a true nerd's heart. This week's episode, #176, features a completely drugged up, but passionate, Justin, throwing his 2 cents around like nobody's business. We get into a cool idea for a 10-day event, some pros and cons of curse investment/application, and discuss an article we read reviewing GGG's game from the perspective...

With the Forever Exiled Forbidden Sanctum Ruthless private league officially under wraps, we take the opportunity to talk about everything we liked and disliked about Ruthless. GGG had a lot of community posts this week which always helps with the "rabbit trail" conversations 🙂 . We have 2 more months of Path of Exile's 3.20 and tons more to talk about! (Like noses?) Thanks for always...

Real life can't get in the way of epic nerdness! Thanks to GGG's "What to Expect for 2023" post, we read between the lines and discover some "facts" of what's to come. We cover "all the bases". There's Path of Exile 2, PoE 2's Beta, Dialbo 3, Diablo 4, Deckard Cain, Albino Rhoas and their feathers, Ruthless, 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum (going core?), 3....

Our private league is about to begin! Well, by the time this comes out it will already be in full swing, but you know what we mean. Both of us intentionally didn't try Ruthless until now, so our private league will be the first time we'll be trying Ruthless. We can't wait! So much so that this might be our shortest episode yet! (Our private league starts within 45m of writing this.) Bu...

Even with GGG having a slow announcement week in Path of Exile Land, we at Forever Exiled never seem to run out of something exciting to talk about. 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum still seems to be running strong and it's great to see the community still so into PoE. Episode 172 is exactly that for us, too. We talk about our respec's, theory crafting, defeating uber bosses we haven't don...

There's a "1" at the end of this episode number...and we all know what that means! It's BK time! Brittleknee joins us for episode 171 where we talk about our successes and failures through 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum so far, along with some well-overdue IRL catch-up. GGG put out another big patch this week and is still pumping out community appreciation. When real life gets in the...

Hopefully the new year is treating you all well! In episode 170 we get down to the nitty-gritty basics. 2022 was a crazy year for GGG with tons of additions and "removals" from Path of Exile. The annual retrospective GGG post took us down some really fun paths and unexpected conversations. It's amazing how much content gets put out in four leagues! And, no matter how long you've be...

If you like any aspect of Path of Exile's gameplay (which, obviously, you do or you wouldn't be here), you won't want to miss this week's episode. In Episode 169, we had the opportunity to sit down with GGG's very own Hrishi! As a game designer for the game you love, he's had his fingers in the passive tree, unique items, Ruthless, gems...everything. Honestly, everything ga...

It's Christmas time! And what a crazy time to release the coolest support packs we've ever seen! It's an MTX fiasco this week! Return all of the gifts you've bought for others! It's time to stock up in GGG Land! Path of Exile also came out with their huge 3.20.1 patch this week that added a whole bunch of different fixes, modifications, and additions to the game. Forbidden Sanc...

So, you know when you have a fantasy draft of your favourite sports league and you get together with your buddy(ies) that are just as uber-nerdy as you about said fantasy sports league, and you talk about the draft results of everyone's rosters in your league...for hours? No? Well, I do. Here, we call that roster-bating. So, I need a two syllable word that's Path of Exile related to put in...

"It's that most wonderful time of the year!" "It's the hap-happiest season of all!" 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum launched just a couple of days ago and we got to get in a few hours of gameplay before recording. There's nothing like the excitement of what GGG provides us for the holiday season. It's like Christmas before Christmas! We were so excited, that we didn&#3...

Episode 165 flies at a mile a minute! With the 3rd manifesto (curses) to discuss, along with 3.20's The Forbidden Sanctum reveal, Chris Wilson's interview with Ziggy D, and Patch Notes, we had SO much to talk about and nowhere near enough time. GGG touched so many aspects of their game with this release! It was impossible to discuss everything we wanted to, but don't worry, we'll e...

This is so great! GGG is spreading out its many manifestos over weeks! We had two last week and one this week! So in episode 164 of Forever Exiled, outside of our usual awesomeness, we talk about the Eldritch Altar changes with some tidbits on its impact on the core game. Plus, who doesn't love minions? Whether you play Path of Exile all day long or only a few hours a week, the coming changes...

You know those times in life when you just can't wait for what's to come? Well, GGG had five posts this week that dramatically changed how Path of Exile's core is going to look in the future. Thanks to GGG, episode 163 of Forever Exiled is loaded with jewels, ailments, mitigation, Archnemesis modifiers, magic find, 3.20's Forbidden Sanctum...what a crammed episode! And that's n...

Episode 162 is as good as they come. With 3.19's extension, GGG's given fans plenty of time to fill out their Lake of Kalandra checklist annnnnnd hype! With three or four weeks to go until the 3.20 release, GGG has given us an announcement that they will be announcing some changes (in the form of Manifestos) which will come before the announcement of 3.20 where they will announce many more...

Episode 161 means BK is back! Welcome back, Brittleknee! We missed you! The more friends you have that like Path of Exile, the better life is. GGG made some pretty cool announcements this week that gave us insight into the "fill-in" events happening to close out 3.19 and the new Ruthless Alpha testing as it prepares for its 3.20 launch. So there was lots to catch up on. We also have a lot...

Ok. So. Here's the thing. Episode 160 is non-stop. It's not our fault! GGG just keeps posting stuff! Path of Exile's November Events have been announced and 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is not going core. That's a lot of juice to chug right there! But then our private league ended, we played PoE afterward as well, we posted stuff, we have opinions about other people's posts, com...

Episode 159 of Forever Exiled is full of 3.20 hopes, our 3.19 Kalandra's HC SSF private league progress, discovered secrets, Scion love, birthdays, and...well...you know us...everything else under the sun. 99% Path of Exile, that's us. Thanks for listening each week and thanks for the amazing reviews! Happy 9 years in PC Land, GGG!  Forever Exiled Info: www.foreverexiled.com Patreon Twitte...

Episode 158! With a game like Path of Exile, the theory crafting never stops! Well, unless you play GGG's game for a living...but we don't! So every week of the league is an exciting time to figure out our "what if" questions. 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is soon coming into its final month, our private league is starting, and Scions are going up everywhere! The theory crafting deci...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Episode 157 of Forever Exiled is out and...is full of...thanks? We have questions. Lots of questions. We have questions about Archnemesis. We have questions about private leagues. We have questions about building builds. We have questions about "normal" resists. While GGG is focusing on tomorrow's Path of Exile, we're trying to keep our fun/hour nice an...

It's been two weeks since we saw each other and last caught up on life and Path of Exile. Yet, in that time, even though most of GGG's 3.19 posts were about community events or involvement, you know what it's like being a PoE nerd; there's always something to talk about! KittenCatNoodle came out with your Lake of Kalandra lore video, the functionality of trade came up, "zombie...

This week we took a forced break from our usual routine (you know, life stuff) and were visited by our lovely friend, ShakCentral! Welcome back, Shak! We went everywhere together in our discussions of Path of Exile; quest rewards, Archnemesis, boss fights, on-death effects, IRL jobs, currency conflicts, GGG's direction... Like any good conversation, we talked about everything that came into ou...

Welcome to Episode 154 of Forever Exiled, where we talk about Path of Exile, stuff, and things! Though the Kalandra traffic is dying down, there are still many 3.19 goodies to discuss. There's swag recognition, the Atlas Passive tree, theory-crafting, Exalts with vendors, patch notes, and a bunch of other side talk too! GGG is always hard at work improving our favourite game and these recent A...

3.19's Lake of Kalandra has gone through many changes in the last few weeks. Sometimes it's frustrating to play through league changes and patches, sometimes not. When we are frustrated, it can be easy to overlook the positive results of some of these changes. There's a lot to talk about in Path of Exile Land these days, and the .1 patch GGG put on it this week was no exception. Thanks...
