Apparently opting into "Awakening Beta" in Steam results in PoE forgetting all your settings.
Fortunately they came back when I opted back out of the beta in Steam.

I've been using the standalone client, and the beta is a completely different install.  That is likely also the case with PoE via Steam, though it's probably obscured.

If anyone wants in to Nist Akath, let me know!

It appears to use separate config files, but it download 3.2 GB of stuff when I opted in, and another 3.2 when I opted out. So... There's that.

So apparently they reworked arctic armor in the beta and people are whining about it. Seemed like it would just drain all of your mana too quickly the last time I'd tried it, so was it actually that useful before?

[nenjin]

Rarely used it, but my main has a pretty small mana pool for her level, supported by Clarity.

It works right now - you just have to be careful of how much you level it, it isnt one of those skills you just level to 20 and call it a day.

Glad to see this topic popped back up! I'm big into PoE right now, enjoying it a lot. My main is a lvl87 phys tornadoshot ranger, really enjoyable and very powerful. Not to mention cheap - other than my quiver, which is a 5 ex piece I'm borrowing from a friend, the rest of my gear probably only sums up to about 2 ex. I'm excited for the awakening, it'll get me trying new builds!

Arctic armor is one of the main defense spells most of caster used. You would go high manna regeneration so you can keep it up all the time. People are mainly complaining because the skill was somewhat unique with unique mechanics, now they made it more bland like another aura. Dont even need to make your build around it like the old AA. Generally i think a very bad change. They are really making some huge changes, bad and good, and I dont think the beta will be finished any time soon (no way in july) with so many huge changes in balance.

Another patch, another wipe.  *sigh*  I'm not sure how much endurance I have left for the boring slog through Normal, again.

The big changes this time are leech, affixes, and status ailments.  Anyone who wants to read at length can do so here.

Update time!

Also news about the next Challenge Leagues: Warband & Tempest.

Edit: Also apparently Phase Run is returning. Not like people have been asking for ages when its gonna show back up, nope.

[nenjin]

I wonder if they'll give it back to the people who originally had it....

No one had that game as they removed it before the open beta/wipe

Uh, I absolutely had one, because I played before all of that.

[Aklyon]

Are you asking if they'll remember who had phase run before the open beta wipe? Because I doubt they'll do that, its just a returning thing like Avatar of Fire did.

[miljan]

There was no Phase Run  when the game went open beta. Phase run was in closed beta, but when PoE went open beta they wiped all items and characters. So the only time when you could had that gem was during closed beta before the wipe. And as no one had Phase Run  after the game went open beta (as they removed it than) there is no need for them to return a gem to people that never could get it during the soft release. 

[aristabulus]

All that aside, getting access to the new Phase Run shouldn't be an issue for anyone, because of the skill vendor additions already available in the beta.  Skill gems probably won't be quite so cheap or available after release, but most of the active skills should be purchasable somewhere during the road to end-game.

Schoolwork permitting, I may get on this weekend after the last boss fight is added.  Anyone else been playing?

[nenjin]

I'm still waiting for Lockstep to go live on the normal servers before I really jump back into PoE. I've just been doing my daily quests.
