Our Senior Narrative Designer, Matt, has taken a moment to reflect on writing for the Settlers of Kalguur League. Here are his thoughts.
---
Designing the narrative context for the Settlers of Kalguur league was an interesting project. This may be the most 'integrated' a new piece of content has ever been—we know most of the characters already, and anyone who's seen Path of Exile 2 might have noticed players running around Kingsmarch twenty years in the future. This is both an expansion on existing lore, and set up for future stories. With some leagues, the narrative must carve into the unknown, but with this one, I was making a puzzle piece that had to fit exactly on all sides.
There's a tension inherent in the story of the Kalguurans we've met. Ostensibly, they're here to excavate and trade, but there's always been a nervous energy about certain topics. With Settlers, I was able to explore that more organically. Every single Kalguuran character has had their lives influenced by their King, and spending enough time with them or reading their letters slowly reveals each relationship and, perhaps, certain choices they've made. As Faustus says, there's a sinister shadow growing longer with each passing day—and we can be sure it's going to darken our skies sooner or later.
Speaking of Faustus, I was keen right from the start to integrate Kingsmarch with our existing world. Faustus and Isla were perfect for their roles, and their presence begins to answer something I've been hoping to expand upon since Heist: with the world in shambles, who are the rogues actually stealing from? Well, here we are, finally, with a bit of civilisation and rebuilding going on. The ports are growing, trading is profitable, and maybe Wraeclast isn't entirely zombies and wastelands!
The other interesting constraint on this one was the new type of mechanic we'd never tried. We didn't want an overarching quest line for Settlers, because the long-term nature of the city building would surely outlast any quests we made. This would need to be more a 'setting' than an 'adventure,' and so we strove to make it enjoyable to visit and hang around in. That led to idle chatter upgrades, and a new type of greeting we may actually shift toward in the future, where the NPC greets you as you approach, rather than when you open their dialogue box. That felt really natural, but we'll have to sculpt town spaces to accommodate something like that. If they're too close together, or trigger when you're just passing by, it won't feel right.
We also recorded some lines for a conversation system like Trials of the Ancestors had, with the notion that NPCs would sometimes be in the tavern instead, or, perhaps, talk to the other NPCs close to them. Unfortunately, the layout of Kingsmarch, the distances involved, and the realisation that they were probably too far apart made that system problematic. Also, for some of the NPCs, it would be really annoying if they were randomly in the tavern instead. I could already picture the meme: 'Tujen's in the Tavern. Tujen's ALWAYS in the Tavern. But only if you go to the docks first.'
Ultimately, the inter-NPC conversations were scrapped for now. I'm definitely going to try again for future content, and upgrade the systems that did work. I consider something we developed here an opportunity—services that were separated from the NPC and put next to them, such as the Map Device or Recombinator. If their services are available from a device close to them, but still trigger or involve their dialogue, then the NPCs are free to wander or do more lifelike things in their surroundings. We've already done some great work in that direction for Path of Exile 2, and I'm really excited to see how far we can go with it.
Overall, I'm quite happy with how Kingsmarch turned out. There's thought layered into every detail, so the more time you spend there, the more you might notice or understand. I feel that this is a great starting point for telling grand tales, and we're going to need that for what's coming. And, for once, I don't have to say 'stay tuned'—Path of Exile 2 is right around the corner! I can't wait!

- Best strategy to farm uniques that don't have a divination card?
I'm playing SSF btw
I need a stupid T4 unique that I haven't managed to drop (I did drop the ONLY OTHER UNIQUE WITH THE SAME BASE THANK YOU GGG -well at least this means that I can guarantee the one I need if I get an Ancient orb, right?- edit: no, Ancient Orb keeps class and ignores base, so I can vendor the one I dropped OK) or chance.
I missed a few years of PoE, so reading around it seems like trying Gwennen gambling is (or was) a good way to farm T1-T0, so I guess it should work for lower tiers as well? But is there a better way that you can suggest?
I'm at my wits' end, since I'm level 87 and I haven't managed to get it yet, absolutely my fault I know, but if I can't get it "soon" I will probably migrate to Trade league and buy it for 3c lol

- For those of you on Linux + Steam, how to make multithreading work?
I have a very old CPU and without multithreading I get abysmal FPS in certain encounters like Breach (which I'm farming), couple of times I hit 1 FPS, and average like 10 FPS, which often kills me.
Multithreading + Vulkan crashes the game with an engine error that apparently has no fix; DX12/11 crash the game as soon as I pick either. I think I'm running PoE with the latest ProtonGE. Any way to make it work? I don't really care about graphics at this point, if I can get 30+ stable FPS in Breaches I'm happy lol

Path of Exile is a free online-only action RPG under development by Grinding Gear Games in New Zealand.
Over the weekend, we launched Path of Exile: Settlers of Kalguur. We’re pleased to report that deployment went extremely smooth on PC with only a few issues that we were able to hotfix relatively quickly! We also hit a new record peak for concurrent players at 350,000! We are closely monitoring feedback and reports and will continue to update our Live Updates post with any hotfixes and updates.
Unfortunately there were some pretty major issues with our console release which were resolved several hours after launch.
We know you’ve all been busy finding ores, collecting gold and upgrading Kingsmarch so you might not have had time to check out all the clips from all of the amazing content creators! We’ve gathered some of our favourite highlights from the weekend for you to check out.

UPDATES: Port level may play a role in determining a minimum level for favored requests. Based on Steelmage not doing any fulfillments and then going from port 1 to 11 in one go and then first refreshing updating to a large request size. Looks like a built in catch up mechanic for juicers, makes sense so they aren't stuck doing tiny shipments for days to catch up. I wonder if there is a upper limit to trade value of requests based on your port level?

- How was your first weekend of the new league?
This is my first league in years and I decided to try SSF for the first time, I'm building a pretty standard ED/Contagion Occultist that I plan to spec to Low Life if I manage to chance/drop the needed uniques (four unique pieces: Cane of Unravelling, Heretic's Veil, Shavronne's Wrappings and Presence of Chayula), of which only the amulet should be difficult to obtain since I need to drop a Blessing of Chayula, but the Atlas Passive should help with targeting Breach encounters... hopefully!
Still in acts and unfortunately I'm not dropping any "+1 to gems" equip, so damage is a bit lacking at the moment, but survivability is good and I'm moving forward at a decent pace!

- Returning player... is there a good guide to SSF?
I'll be trying SSF for the first time next league and I'm looking for a guide, though not a full-fledged one, but something more akin to small tips and tricks to have an easier time in SSF, how to build your character to accomodate whatever equip you drop or manage to craft, for example.
I was planning on playing ED Occultist as it can get pretty tanky with decent clear speed even on just rares, but the uniques I'm looking at can get chanced which would be a welcome addition.
My main doubt is about six-linking... should I just abandon the idea? lol I remember trying several times and it always took a pretty hefty amount of fusings, though I've been always lucky since the one that took the most was just shy of 1000, which is something in trade league, but I bet it will be much more difficult to accrue in SSF
