Path of Exile Archnemesis system continues to frustrate fans
The Path of Exile Archnemesis system continues to frustrate fans of one of the main Diablo competitors. PoE has long been seen as one of the best RPG games on PC and as a game that gave fans of the genre who felt disappointed by Diablo 3 a new place to call home. However, recent updates to the free PC game such as the disappointing Path of Exile Lake of Kalandra release have left the community in disarray, and continued frustrations arising from the Archnemesis system have even seen some players turn to the Blizzard series they long ago snubbed in search of an alternative.
The Path of Exile Archnemesis challenge league ran from February 4 – May 10 2022, as part of PoE’s patch 3.17 update Siege of the Atlas. Its unique twist was allowing players to build their own boss fights by applying new ‘Archnemesis modifiers’ to them before the fight. These introduced a series of dangerous behaviours and traits to the foes, but rewarded players with a range of valuable items and resources in return.
The league was seen as fairly rewarding, but some of the modifiers could be rather frustrating to deal with. However, as these were under player control it was very much a ‘you made your bed, now lie in it’ situation. This became a more dramatic issue when the next league, Sentinel, began – the Archnemesis modifiers were instead introduced to the pool used by all rare monsters in the game, meaning that players began encountering packs featuring some of the most frustrating variants. However, they weren’t given the previous reward bonuses as compensation for doing so.

The RX 6950 XT continues to drop in price – now £800
The RX 6950 XT is AMD’s flagship card, a 4K gaming powerhouse that can put almost any game to shame – as long as you don’t turn on ray tracing, anyway. The card launched at £1100 but often sold for far more, but now we’re starting to see things slide the other way – and the top AMD GPU now costs only £800 at Overclockers in the UK. That’s £300 below RRP and a new low-water mark.

Speculation Continues Since 2015 Vancouver Island UFO Sighting (VIDEO)
An Esquimalt, British Columbia couple has footage of what they say is a UFO that was flying over the CFB Esquimalt base on Monday, April 27, 2015. A strange object has been caught on video flying across the night sky in Esquimalt, B.C., and the people who filmed it insist it’s a UFO.
Brian Cooper and his wife Melissa were relaxing in bed watching a movie on Monday night when all of a sudden they saw something outside their window: two strange objects darting around the night sky.
“At that point, we were at a loss for words and we were like ‘what the hell is that?’” Brian Cooper told CTV Vancouver Island. Cooper and his wife leaped out to their second-story balcony and used their cell phone to film what he claims is likely a secret military vehicle, or maybe even proof of alien life.
“I have never seen anything like this in my life. I’m a very skeptical person,” he said. Cooper said the objects first appeared around 8:30 p.m. While one soon vanished, the other kept flying over the area – including over Esquimalt’s Navy base. He describes it as being as big as a Volkswagen, flying like a drone, except much faster. He said the circular craft had lights that “spun in all different directions.”
The couple wasn’t the only one to witness the strange phenomenon. Veralynn Weaver, who lives upstairs, says she also saw the UFOs, and can’t explain what they are either.
“I have no idea,” she said. “I’ve grown up on military bases and I’ve never seen anything like that.” The Navy base declined to view the cell phone footage but confirmed there were no military flights of any kind near the base on Monday. No reports were filed to either the Victoria or Saanich police either. CTV Vancouver Island showed the footage to Dr. John Willis, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Victoria. He said with grainy and shaky cell phone video – with no audio – it’s impossible to determine exactly what’s in the sky.
“These are taken on the spur of the moment,” he said, adding that 99 percent of the time there’s a UFO sighting there is also a simple explanation. As for whether he believes it could be an alien life form?
“I can’t definitely rule it out on the basis of that evidence. But I’m going to put my eggs in one basket and say no,” he said. Willis said a more likely explanation is that the flying object is a drone, but “with evidence of this quality you can’t make a 100 percent call every time.”
After being shown the video, an expert in drones said it’s likely that what the Coopers saw was a phantom aircraft. “That’s a UAV drone. Multi-rotor, electric air vehicle,” said David Carlos of Victoria Air Photos & Survey. But much like Willis, the expert was careful not to rule everything out. “I would say absolutely not an alien life form. But never 100 percent,” Carlos said.
As for the Coopers, they still would like to definitively know what they saw outside their apartment – and aren’t satisfied with the explanation. “Personally, I do not have a rational explanation of what it was,” said Brian Cooper. With files from CTV Vancouver Island’s Robert Buffam.
