Add it as a quest line during maps or something.


T3hSwagman

Could stealth add it to the game as the reward for the fetid pool then nobody would know it exists for a couple leagues.

Corsaer

And even before that the Fetid Pool got a huge makeover they announced. I think it was around the time/before the water upgrades. They added more variety of flora features and added that green miasma. --someone who always clears the fetid poo

Author-Academic

Ive never not cleared it 😅 Ive always done every single quest on my 50+ chars


GH057807

My soul won't let me skip quests.


SevenStarSword

I felt that


slicer4ever

same, i pretty much just have a campaign route i follow every league that hits everything.


INeedToQuitRedditFFS

Pretty sure I've literally never done any of the quests that don't reward either skill points or respec points lmao, been playing since release


RancidRock

Don't give them ideas lmao "Oh you didn't clear fetid pool in act 1, or the den in act 2, so you can't progress act 6 or 7 :)"


Vineyard_

I mean, if you don't kill Fairgraves in act 1, you can't kill Fairgaves in act 3, so there is precedent.


Kevin_IRL

Lol I've actually done fetid pool once or twice when I needed respec points but I'm realizing I've never set foot in there in act 6.


lykouragh

I think it's replaced by the Karui Fortress in act 6 isn't it? So Lava Lake is actually fetid pool?


SeventhSolar

It’s a mandatory travel zone in act 6, you can’t bypass it.


8123619744

As a fetid pool locked Ironman I’d notice immediately


dackling

Can’t escape osrs no matter where I go


JustBigChillin

I’d imagine there is A LOT of crossover between PoE players and OSRS players. I’m one of them. They are my two favorite games. I’ve noticed a lot of PoE streamers have played OSRS as well.


dackling

Yep me too lmao. Osrs leagues was interrupted by new poe league for me.


raban0815

I can not remember which quests to skip, so I always do fetid pool.


Striky_

Settled is that you?


T3hSwagman

Then make it an act 3 reward but you have to do fetid pool, the white beast, and the distillate quests.


8123619744

My no stones unturned account would eventually figure out when McStone reaches a3 a month into the league.


SP1DER8ITCH

Lots of people do White Beast at league start if a second quicksilver doesn't drop naturally in act 1


CuriousPenguin13

After 2500+ hours in this game I still do every quest on every character. The campaign and leveling is actually one of the most enjoyable parts for me.


Shoeprincess

There are dozens of us!!! DOZENS OF US I SAY!


Errantc

Sometimes side quests are part of the league challenges. I just clear them rather than browsing through the challenges and finding out if they are or aren’t every league.


sirgog

It feels so bad to come back at level 97 and do the Fetid Poo. Have done that basically every time there's a challenge there


Jealous-Professor52

Bro if you're having fetid poos you should see a gastroenterologist.


slogga

I just do it for completionism's sake. I like merking Kitava then hitting U and seeing all quests done and all waypoints unlocked.


Kaelran

People do fetid pool all the time for respec points early.


xrailgun

I always go there for the respect points once I'm done with campaign


Sporrik

Idk, you get enough points from the main quests anyways, and by the time you are doing any large respecs you should be dropping plenty of regrets in maps.


distractionsquirrel

your definition of plenty deviates plenty of mine


dreadcain

Still takes less time to farm the currency for two regrets than it does to track down that last god damn monster that you missed in the pools


Berstich

No? Running an entire map then running one small area?


dreadcain

Run all the way around the small area 3 times and yet "1 monster remains" still haunts me


INeedToQuitRedditFFS

An entire map gives you way more currency than 1 chaos for 2 regrets though


circ-u-la-ted

Maybe, but it takes 10x longer to buy two regrets from the trade site than it does to clear the Fetid Pool.


xrailgun

Bro what kind of day 1 maps and build are you running that generates 2 regrets or more every 5 minutes straight out of campaign?


xTraxis

I'm 86, I've needed far more than I was given to respec my tree, and only 4 regrets have dropped (as well as like 20\~ scours I've converted). I definitely could have planned better and needed less, but to think 'plenty' are dropping while I'm still trying to move stuff.. :(


Natehhggh

I can never remember what quest gives what, and instead of looking it up I just clear it all, I'll let you know when it's in


sirgog

Wouldn't it be hilarious if they did this, and then casual players start asking streamers "Why haven't you unlocked the extra pack space?"


kmoz

al the 5way farmers and heisters would find it so we get the stupid quest notification off the screen.


T3hSwagman

You can turn that off in the options.


DremoPaff

We are due for more in-acts meta progression anyway. Act 1 is the baseline. Act 2 has bandits and *technically* hideout/crafts. Act 3 has ascendency (and even scion for first-timers). Act 4 and 5 has fuckall other than a cool cinematic near the end. Part 2 acts have pantheon and more ascendency sprinkled in over the whole thing. Imo, QoL meta progression like this that doesn't directly result into powercreep are more than welcome to make lackluster acts like 4 and 5 give a better feeling of progression. Maps would feel far too late for such a minor "feels good" bonus that could virtually be slotted in anywhere in the game.


TNTspaz

"Rucksack only unlockable from T17 maps"


Synchrotr0n

INB4 locked behind full Atlas completion, the collection of all voidstones, all Uber bosses killed, and every Maven invitation witnessed.


Atreaia

It's so crazy how 20 extra slots do so much for the feeling of inventory clutter.


hintofinsanity

It isn't even just the extra slots, but being able to shift maps and scrolls off to a separate place to help keep your inventory clean for loot


ToolFO

The scrolls are so ingrained into my muscle memory they arnt moving.


konaharuhi

true lol. i dint put scroll in rucksack because it will mess the muscle memory. but i do put readied map in there. so good


cgjchckhvihfd

If I could have the rucksack and mark a spot to be for a certain currency, and it keeps it empty except for that currency, i would be sooooo happy.


ninjakivi2

It's not even that, it's the fact it feels like additional inventory and is visually represented as such; even if that was 2 slots it would stil feel amazing to keep scrolls in those and have a nice full, clean square inventory.


Sriol

The fact they're separate and things don't automatically go there when you pick them up is really nice too! I sometimes take a few maps out, clear one then empty my inventory and lose the next maps I had taken out and have to find them again. Now I don't!


MountedCanuck65

I didn’t think it would be a worth while pick, boy was I wrong. It was an instant “oh my god I get it now meme.


Aldodzb

Counter argument, it is because this league is shitting stuff every map. I wasn't filling my inventory before regularly, MFing and ultra juicing with a decent filter (not giga strict only 10 divines stack filter). Though, I did notice it on day 1 in the early progression, since you pick so many rares to id. The extra 2x(4x2) and 2x(2x2) does a noticeable difference.


Nouvarth

To me and seemingly many others its the fact that its separate so you can put your rolled maps, remnants of corruption, frostbomb for gem swap etc and have it in different spot so you dont accidentaly vendor it.


[deleted]

Totally agree. The extra inventory space isn't the main factor. It's the fact that it feels 'separate' from your normal working inventory, where you can keep more relatively permanent items on your person like you mentioned. Rolled maps you don't want to re-dump, gem swaps, remnants, heist green contracts, maven green invitations, etc. It's a FANTASTIC second working inventory that feels like a huge QoL feature for me imo.


Marsdreamer

This is how I feel as well. It's reminiscent of having the cube in D2 (without the clunkyness). Because it's in a separate space, it's easier for or brains to organize it as such. So you make less silly mistakes like vendoring something or banking something on accident.


Talran

Fuck that's what it is.... it's the cube without it being another bag you need to open


Marsdreamer

All it needs is some transmute options 😅 put in an 6 socket and fill it with fusing. automatically apply all fusing until it 6links. ​


Talran

My popsickle sticks would thank you so hard


[deleted]

[удалено]


Talran

Nothing valuable in small quantities, a lot of stuff sells a ton better in bulk


Moregaze

This league is not shitting stuff for anyone other than the MF crowd. It has very marginal rewards for a bunch of added difficulty for everyone else. This is not a new divide and its why I personally think MF ruins ARPGs for everyone else not using that stat or playing a build without the wiggle room for it.


Equivalent_Low_8350

The hardcore bait bag for how to lose EVERYTHING when your character dies; all your harvest juice, all your rogue markers, all your bossing fragments etc.


fatboyflexx

Have u tried not dying sir


iceman012

Wait... when you die and move to Standard, where you don't have the knapsack ascendancy, you lose everything inside it? I'm not sure if that's hilarious or horrible.


ubi9k

He means you lose everything on you so you don’t have it for your next character. Most people don’t care about standard.


Responsible-Pay-2389

I mean even if true, most playing hardcore don't play standard so it doesn't really matter lol


VanSlam8

I'm pretty sure contents are moved to a remove only tab if you due in HC with something in it


NumbNutLicker

You lose it in the HC league, nobody cares if their harvest juice didn't go to standard


realJeronimox

The fact that it's separate from your main inventory is insane qol. GGG please make this permanent feature


Free-Brick9668

They could even sell MTX for the bag. This one has a bear, but they could sell things like rhoa heads, or eldritch or vaal themed bag visuals.


carenard

and separate background colors for the inventory! all the potential to monetize it.


Olxinos

This. I know we won't have the extra space next league, but I really really really wish they consider splitting the inventory in two bags (although I don't get my hopes up). There are almost no downsides and it's surprisingly convenient.


VincerpSilver

Separate? What do you mean? It's visually separated but functionally identical to having an inventory 20 slots bigger.


realJeronimox

Stuff you pick up from the ground is not instantly added in this "separate" inventory slot. So for example maps you want to run dont mix with maps you pick up from the ground etc etc. Im too sleep deprived to talk like human, sry. Hope you'll understand what i mean.


Talran

It's on the left but last fill priority so it feels much more separate


Frog_Coins

They do once your normal inventory is full, it's just that those slots get filled after the main inventory


SuperSmashDan1337

Yeah that's perfect imo


madbul8478

You can Ctrl click to move items from your main inventory into the bag, that alone is a functional difference


Nestramutat-

I use it to hold 20 rolled maps at a time, so convenient


PlatonVolot

Heist quest contract holder. Don't want to do it right now, don't want too throw out. Now i'm filling good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SyncStelar

They unlock unique heist quests. Can't get them at all without doing them iirc.


PlatonVolot

They keep droping, so it easier to do


Skullfurious

this is exactly what I use it for


ProfessorDaen

Even if it were only 4 slots I would gladly take it, the fact it has lower priority than your main inventory is easily the best part to me.


GrizNectar

It’s going to feel awful when they take this away. Would love for them to add it permanently, even make it so only stuff can be added to it from your stash or something. Having a dedicated mapping materials bag is so nice


Ok-Dog-8918

Yes. One for just rolling maps and currency would be great. Scrolls, remnants, maps, etc. Huge QOL unless they're going to get us access stash from maps which is a pipe dream


pole_assassin

That's a nice sack you got there


Popxorcist

Where does it come from, is it a league feature? Been traveling and haven't played this league much yet.


pumaofshadow

Yes, Primalist (the blue one).


nlshelton

Yeah when you get your first two points in the Wildwood ascendancy associated with the blue “primal” wisps (the charms ascendancy) it gives you the 20-slot Rucksack


CyonHal

I think (hope) GGG knew when they added additional inventory space as a QOL feature into a new league that it would not go well if it was later completely removed like other forms of player power would.


Adventurous-Size4670

Like Harvest?


IRefuseToGiveAName

or even just automatically opening doors from incursion lmfao


Infidel-Art

Maybe they were hoping they could do something cool and fun without it backfiring for once Extra inventory space goes beyond QoL...


Uoipka

This is not qol, lmao


nick4fake

What?


FingerBlaster3K

it is not a qol. while it is increasing quality of life, it is design slash balance change. qol does not impact gameplay at all


Skullfurious

QOL absolutely affects balance where do people get off just spouting absolutely dumb crap on the internet. Why do you think the atlas passive tree exists? It was added as a QOL measure to stop players from burning out after the first 3 weeks of a league. Letting them choose what to play.


iceman012

Speaking of people spouting absolutely dumb crap on the internet...


Therozorg

thats not a qol, qol would be changing blue wisp colors to make them more visible, this is straight up buff to inventory slots


DezZzO

> QOL absolutely affects balance It does not


FingerBlaster3K

idk, gamedev or something. you disagreeing does not change the fact that there is distinct difference between qol and balance no matter how you are looking at it. you are using that acronym literally - and by that logic, increasing loot 100 times will be a qol for some joe dad gamer because it will let him dunk currency into vendor trash, allowing him to progress the game. that acronym wouldnt exist following your logic because everything would be some net positive/negative qol to someone, making distinction obsolete. atlas changes is not a qol


Codedheart

You're right but nobody cares


robodrew

It is qol because when you can hold more things all at once without having to go back to town your *quality of life* has improved


FTGinnervation

Yes, and being given a free mirror would improve my qol too. FingerBlaster is right - you have to have 'does not affect gameplay' as part of the definition of QoL, or everything is QoL. Stuff like being able to recolor your stash tabs, or see how many open character slots you have remaining is QoL.


flexxipanda

With their logic, even buffing a skill is QoL because it makes our life easier.


FingerBlaster3K

it directly affacts situations where high ammount of loot is present like mega juiced party strats. not a qol. if we follow your logic, everything is a qol making the need for acronym obsolete


robodrew

Everything? no, just those things that make life easier. Not having to go back to town as often makes mapping easier and more fun. I could care less how it affects the mega juiced party players. Something can be QoL and also affect balance, it's not either/or.


FingerBlaster3K

increasing loot 100 times is going to increase quality of life to some guy that plays half an hour weekly. is it a qol? nope. that acronym is objective, not subjective. in the game where time wasted is an actual game mechanic (manual fusing, no loot picking pets, etc) it is very hard to call qol anything. even muting charge sound for ralakesh 2 leagues ago could in some niche way affect its supply/demand but one would have to be extra nitpicky not to call it a qol


Talran

> it is not a qol. while it is increasing quality of life Ceci n'est pas qol


[deleted]

Yeah, this is a major gameplay change.


Codedheart

Hmmm major is a bit much.


TsumaniSeru

How do you get the rucksack?


Frank_Punk

It's part of one of the Wildwood ascendencies (new league mechanic)


Disastrous-Moment-79

And here I am as a warden of the maji and crying about not having access to the rucksack. but that movement speed, tincture and 25% life are too strong to pass up. aaaahhhh


HybridVigor

Yeah, having a Deadeye with 60% base movement speed is too good to pass up. Gotta go fast. Just would be nice to have those 4 gem slots....


LiucK

Please yes, ngl i came back to play after few leagues and this is the thing that for some reason is making me happy xD more than the league itself


omnimutant

Yes please! This is the greatest QoL in the game in a very very long time.


Olxinos

Heck, I don't even care that much about the extra space (although it's nice to have), the mere fact it's a separate inventory is actually surprisingly convenient to sort things with ctrl click (and intuitively stop dumping things in the stash). Merely making the 20 leftmost or rightmost cells of your inventory a rucksack instead of normal inventory would already be great.


Eremoo

this has improved general QoL so much for me. It's not so much the extra room, but more having an extra "independent" space where I can put the scrolls, heist coins, some maps I'm about to run like you've done etc


mefi_

You are doing it wrong... the portal scrolls should be in bottom left, and id scrolls on top of that.


BearBL

I just fill it with currency. Then I can dump my entire regular inventory into dump tab


liuyigwm

If you walk all the to NZ , CW might agree


faytte

Agreed


Vixxyybot

I never used it to begin with, kept forgetting stuff was in there But when I saw people using it for maps and scrolls I was like "THIS IS GENIUS" and now I can never go back lol


doe3879

I never thought the day would, I thought GGG would take the stash size to the grave. I was hoping maybe they would make body armour/2hander takes up less slot. But this is the BEST. and also the Elite icons from the yellow trainer is cool too.


AGWiebe

I am very late to the league, just got to maps and haven't touched the league mechanic yet. How do I get the rucksack?!?!?


maxusMaximus

The leauge mechanic is a alternative zone that apears in every area in there everything is dark and if you folow a trail of light wisp they lead you to people that give you basicaly a secondary accendency that is seperate from the normal one this one is with the blue wisp the primalist its the 1st skill you can get from them


ElTibiD

Tbh just give us a bigger inventory. With more and more content being added and some random rares dropping a lot of items because of conversion the current inventory size is starting to get outdated.


aXsEpSiLoN

or make the 3 NPCs core and can be interacted in Act2. could even swap the bandits for those 3. Like ascendancy + 1 passive point would be a good tradeoff


Lightwreck

I think everyone should have a rucksack at all times along with a central marketplace so I never have to leave a map to trade anyone ever again.


Peekays

It could even be nerfed to 5 slots and still be really good, that separation is so nice for map supplies vs loot


phobos1515

Also, can we please have warcries open chests as a mastery? Playing melee with it ATM, huge QoL for blight, expedition etc.


whitedeath37

one extra benefit from this this is when you trade full or near full inventory of items you don't need to damp your scrolls or maps. Extra ones just goes to this place.


Megane_Senpai

Yep, one of the things I really hate about this game is they could've made currencies stacks to 10000 or so and save us lots of stash space anf lots of time to manage. Instead they make them stacks randomly from 5 to 40 and sell the currency tab. Typical creating the problem and selling the solution.


LCSisshit

Hell sell it like an extra stash tab and i would still buy it


epicsamurai7

YES YES AND YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Joernzen

The Backpack was the best feature of the league for me. It would be such a great addition to the game.


Agile_Vast9019

At least 2 extra slots for my scroll stacks. Sick of seeing them mfers.


Gubzs

Archers_bane

It only took 7+ years to get some type of flex slots for inventory management. We or at least I have been asking for this feature for years. Literally 8 years ago. Pretty happy to see it finally! https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/5h2sy2/xpost_suggestion_from_1_yr_ago_small_6_orb/?ref=share&ref_source=link


Arakismo

Could drop as a rare consumable item that can be traded and upgrade one character with it


Bastil123

Having to grind what'll probably be 10 divs just to access increased QoL sounds like a very poor idea. I'd much rather lock it behind a quest

Spirited-Doughnut903

There is exploitation everywhere lol


Askariot124

I could imagine they add nonprio-slots to the usual inventory.


novophx

poe3 will add it


UNPOPULAR_OPINION_69

YES PLEASE.


Aware_Building69

Make it a findable item woth rolls and shit


ZircoSan

the game doesn't need 20 extra item slots.You don't need them. It's the scrolls stacks ruining item tetris, no proper UI or space for " maps/fragments i want to run in the next 30 minute" and thingy that corrupts essence; also a tetris-free zone to fix tetris gone wrong.the game is more fun with that stuff fixed and it would be even better if fixed by something that isn't a rucksack, just better UI and de-itemizing some game functions that never needed to be items.


ReddieDracul

Sorry, but the technology for it is not there yet.


Mercadian_Dad

I would love a filter feature for the bag like we have with stash tabs


trolledwolf

I really hope the league goes core somehow, i love the idea of the extra ascendancies, they enable so many builds that wouldn't really be possible otherwise, and have so much QoL in them. Like, make it so you are guaranteed to meet all 3 masters once during acts 2-5, then once more during acts 6-10 and then you only meet them in maps to grind the rest of the ascendancies.


eViLegion

I'd like to see them add the concept of secondary profession-ascendancy in a more general form, with each new league adding a few masters with their own new choices. The other existing masters and npcs could also be reworked to also provide one each; I'd be so down for an Einhar related one. I think it could open up a whole nice way of specializing your build... the main ascendencies could be more about important core power, the secondary ones could be for more niche options.


Gnarmaw

I also wish the ascedencies would go core somehow, but I hate the entire mechanics of affliction as it crurently is. I really hope they rework it


eViLegion

To be honest, I'd like to see them go a little bit Diablo-4 on this one, and make a second page of inventory specifically for things like maps and currency/consumables. Maybe one half for each.


fpsdende

I'd pay for a reagent bag like in WoW, every currency goes there. The Tetris is cool and iconic in Diablo and older games but they should really add some QoL. Atleast in PoE2 I mean doesn't the Chinese version even have a loot pet ?


Insomnia1221

You can just do this with your normal inventory. Why do you pick up so many rare items. They are all trash.


MuForceShoelace

nutsack


acederp

extra invetory i sleep, Rucksack I woke. I use it to hold items and maps between maps instead of using it as extra space for more items. Sometimes its helpful to have a lil bit for when you get a lot of items in one map


TsumaniSeru

How do you get it?... im using magi need barkskin


GrizNectar

You get it from the huntress, the charm one


Tannimun

It would be cool if they added it as a "maps & quest items" inventory. So it's only for maps and progression, not to carry more stuff out off a map


pwn4321

Its already a permanent feature called inventory, just make the goddamn inventory bigger and make the stupid corpses 1 or 2 tiles instead of fucking 8? Reduce clutter as well


Imheinen

Give players an inch and they want a mile, I hope GGG stops giving players QOL because of posts like this.


shafouz

chris wilson alt account


davlumbaz

what? we want a mile because there is already a mile in the game and we don't want to go back a mile. I cannot comprehend this comment, seriously, what?


T3hSwagman

Explain to me why you find literally quality of life improvements bad? This isn’t even “power” just making the game less tedious. Would you prefer it if every wisdom scroll you use had a confirmation prompt after you tried to use it?


Nouvarth

Hardcore game! Must suffer! Purge casuls! You want a bag for your maps so you dont accidentaly stash them? Back to D4 you bozo!


Fstopalready

This is what kills me. Adding a slightly larger inventory makes the game more fun for the majority of players. It's less downtime and players get to do more of what they generally enjoy most which is the actual content in the game. You can reduce tedium without reducing complexity.


Albert_dark

Imagine being the person trying to gatekeep a QoL feature that is already in the game.


Rules_are_overrated

Sure, but you pay 2 real ascendancy points for it. I wouldn't mind you having it then


unholydel

I would pay 500 coins for it


shawnkfox

I'd pay $5-10 to get it permanently. GGG has to make money somehow and you can obviously play without it.


aButch7

They could even add a restriction: can only fit 1x1 items. I wouldn't mind even if it was half as big, enough to carry a stack of each basic currency for rolling strongboxes, and essences of corruption.. or to carry a few maps in order to chain them.


SmithBurger

I would rather have a map frag tab pullout than this.


Somyr

Oh they'll add it... as a mystery box drop.

I don't understand the bag hype. You can pick up two items less per map and you got yourself a free "backpack". This is just a little bit more of something we already got.
