Forever Exiled

Another week, another sweep of Archnemesis changes. Another week, another response to Harvest wishes. Another week and GGG has been on their toes, pumping out communication posts, patches, and media presence. 3.19 has been busy for both fans and employees of Path of Exile. Lake of Kalandra has been an interesting league so far with endless subjects to touch on. Thanks again for joining us this wee...

For episode 151 we have BK back to go through the first week of 3.19's Lake of Kalandra! It's been a big week for GGG as Path of Exile had a surprising start to the league. Loads of patches that include drop rates and Archnemesis changes, along with a humble post from Chris Wilson regarding the current league's launch and the game's direction. The community had lots to say about th...

It's finally here! For our 150th episode, GGG has given us our first look at Kalandra. What a fantastic way to celebrate our milestone with some epic lore about one of Path of Exile's most iconic and mysterious characters. 3.19's Lake of Kalandra is filled with some "new normals; with the new Archnemesis setup, Atlas Tree changes, and mirror enemy planning, Path of Exile has given...

Sooooo...GGG's 3.19 Lake of Kalandra Live Stream and Patch Notes were announced and posted this weekend. Sooooo...you'll never guess what we talked about in this episode. You'll never guess ;). Episode 149 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast is all about...LAWNS! ;-). We have so many things to talk about regarding this expansion; more than any other league that we can remember!...

Well! That was unexpected! So many mechanical overhauls! The Lake of Kalandra expansion is looking really spicy and with all the changes GGG brought to the table with the 3.19 Dev. Manifesto this week. You can bet that this episode won't be close to our target time of 45 minutes ;-). With so many mechanics and archetypes being changed, along with the teases of so much information still yet to...

Few EXPANSION names can excite us as much as Lake of Kalandra. Maybe this is the most intriguing one so far! With all of the possibilities with 3.19's title, GGG has us talking Path of Exile like we're new to the game! We even played 3.18's Sentinel this week and didn't even get to chat about it! Music, storytelling, quality assurance, predictions, lore, and all the other side stuf...

This week's subject list was thrown out the window right as soon as we hit the conversation of Sentinel going core. So many good things to talk about! GGG's 3.18 isn't moving on to 3.19 but to us, that gives us just as much to talk about as if it was going core! We also get into the true heart of Path of Exile, theory-crafting. Nothing feels quite as good as being overwhelmed with theo...

Episode 145 features more non-stop Path of Exile chit-chat over some excellent cold drinks during this fantastic summer weather. We covered topics from how we finished off our Forever Exiled 3.18 Sentinel private league, some old and new game mechanic changes for 3.19, and reminiscing of old Dev. interviews by GGG, and TONS of relevant topics for today that stemmed from Chris Wilson's most rec...

We had such a fun time playing Hardcore this week in our Forever Exiled 3.18 Sentinel private league! For those familiar with us, I'm sure you can guess who was more successful than the other ;-). With GGG focusing more on 3.19, there wasn't much in GGG Land that came our way, but good luck in the Gauntlet for those that are playing! For us, there were so many builds, deaths, and laughs th...

Slow news weeks mean nothing to nerds who love their games! This week's conversation touched on Path of Exile's Archnemesis system, of course, but also a bunch of other topics that made our "short" episode, just as long as the rest. Mirrored drops, lawns, ascendancies, lawns, the TRUTH about Multistrike and Ruthless' relationship, lawns, ground effects...you can't stop nerd...

The best part about GGG having a slow week news-wise is that it gives us some time to discuss subjects that have been waiting in the background. With 3.18's Sentinel over a month old now, we were able to take this week to catch up (everyone's favourite part) and talk about Diablo 4's release window and its possible impact on Path of Exile 1 and 2. It was a good talk as we both have ver...

Happy Father's Day, fathers! Hopefully, you watched the Canadian Grand Prix, played lots of Path of Exile, and hung out (a little bit) with loved ones. Episode 141 features the one and only, BK, and we had a great time catching up with her about all things Sentinel, yards, and stabbings. Yup! Some of us love the state of the game, others, not so much...so the conversation and shenanigans just...

Cram time! We have 2 weeks' worth of chit-chat to catch up on and not enough time! GGG put out a few patches that had some big 3.18 changes (inc. Headhunter), lots of community thingies to point out, The Green Dream, Justin hitting 100 every league (from now on), What About Bob...it was another full episode that required pushing content on to the next week! Path of Exile's Sentinel is stil...

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Zizaran! Ziz needs no introduction to any fan of Path of Exile. His premium content is all over Twitch and YouTube; his name is synonymous with the game itself. Whether you're new to the game and barely browsed for PoE content or have tens of thousands of hours in Path of Exile, you've come across him, his passion for the game, and likely found...

You know a company loves their game when they're willing to get rid of their beloved immunities. Another wave of big improvements to GGG's 3.18 Sentinel and we aren't even at the .1 patch yet! Both of us had a decent amount of playtime this week, in Path of Exile, and we were both very excited to talk about how much fun we were having in our own different ways. Hopefully, you're li...

3.18's Sentinel has already been out for a week, yet GGG has changed Path of Exile quite dramatically in that time! (Sure, ya. Technically it's the core game that's changed, not Sentinel, but they are closely tied together in this league.) One of us is still in the campaign while the other has already completed the atlas (you'll never guess which one of us is which). We've had...

One of the cons to recording on league-launch-day is that the issues we discuss get fixed by the time the episode is released two days later. OR, we'll say that the launch is really stable and then everyone else is having tons of crashes. It always happens! Ha! Well, this league is no different! But we had a great time getting used to the new 3.18 Sentinel mechanics, the new rare enemy mods, a...

What a unique league reveal! So many unique approaches to improving and maintaining Path of Exile. Brittleknee was able to join us in our nerding out this week and the three of us couldn't stop agreeing with each other! 3.18's Sentinel is looking to accommodate every type of player that reaches endgame. And honestly, when was the last time you were able to plan your build so early before t...

Super Scions, teleporting jewels, ascendancy pathing, store approach, Reddit love, Archnemesis review, it's all a part of Episode 134 of Forever Exiled. This might be the last of our 3.17 chats as next week GGG announces 3.18! It's been a lot of fun listening to those still playing Path of Exile this league and planning for 3.18. Hopefully this episode gives you, the die-hard, the fill you...

Let the 3.18 hype begin! Sentinel is just around the corner! And despite that, GGG is putting out patches to prep controller support and graphic updates as much as possible for launch. We recorded this episode in person, which we have only done once before (E100 with Tarke), and it was so fun we will likely do it again! Lots of communities in Path of Exile Land are still going strong in 317's...

With so many people still playing 3.17's Archnemesis, it's awesome to have 3.18's league teased already! This episode of Forever Exiled skips right past the personal stuff (almost) and goes straight to Path of Exile talk. GGG has a big overall quality patch coming soon and it's exciting to see with the higher quality standards the game has these days. Along with GGG's improved...

YA! It's an episode with an end digit of 1! This means that Episode 131 of Forever Exiled is graced with more Brittleknee! It's always great to hang with BK and catch up with friends. This episode, like most others, is obliviously 99.9% Path of Exile content. The three of us go from Gardening to Borderlands, to Credit Cards, to missing school, to lawns, to Path of Exile. (And don't wor...

You ever have it when you're really excited about something but then when you finally get around to it you hate it, but then you take a break from it and miss it, so you try it again and kinda hate it but not as much, but then everyone else you're playing with doesn't hate it as much as you did, so you hate it even more than you originally did just out of principle? Ya, me neither ;-)....

When I say "private" you say "league"! "Private" (league!) "Private" (LEAGUE!). Episode 129 of Forever Exiled, a Path of Exile podcast is all about loving the harsh elements of optional league mods. And it starts with a good dose of "That's What Grinds My Gears". GGG made some great controller updates this week, we started our own harsh (for us) softcore...

Hazaa! It's alive! IT'S ALIVE! The power! The control! AH HA HA HA HA! This week GGG broke down a barrier and added controller support to Path of Exile on PC! It's an awesome addition to an already great 3.17 Archnemesis league. Lots of great console features have not made their way to PC as a result and it'll be exciting to see how the new controller features get fine-tuned for 3....
