PoE1 filter notes have been posted!
June 11, 2025 at 8:44 AM
Game dev is tricky.

In my indie game project it took me, multiple iterations, but I'm finally happy with the following magic system.

Spellbooks are spells (effect, cost, cooldown). Staves have mana, manaregen and activate spells they point at. Other items add effects.

Does this sound coherent?

PoE2 had a large update and filters can now finally filter by Magic/Rare tier (the items in the screenshots!).

This is now part of the filter and can now be set up and adjusted on filterblade as well, pretty much everywhere. Go wild.

Today marks 10 years since I launched my PoE1 filter.
Thank you all for being part of that journey!

This has become an integral part of my life. You guys are awesome.

To celebrate: New PoE2 style: COBALT.
PoE1 gets a new style next league!
April 15, 2025 at 2:42 PM
Filter(Blade) update tomorrow will include a new style:

Zen.

Minimal, ggg-like, great for customizing, highlights expensive items. Perfectly balanced.

I'll be streaming the final steps of the filter update in ~9 hours on twitch. Come say hi and watch me scream at code!

Working on the upcoming new styles for Dawn of the Hunt.

One idea I have is to take the Dark Mode style further.

This style reduces the highlight, equalizes all fontsizes, uses minimal borders/backgrounds for everything outside of the top 2 tiers.

Thoughts?

The upcoming FilterBlade update for PoE2 this friday includes:
- Prices for items
- Icons
- Drop locations and useful use-cases for all tierlists.

(visualized in filterblade, the filter generation already uses this information)

The project is still in deep dev and takes a lot of inspiration from Hades/Noita/Poe/D2/BackbackBattle/Hero...

If you're curious, I have a dedicated discord up to discuss game dev/ideas.

There will be some closed testing this year I hope (between poe leagues)

I'd like to share a moment of game-dev joy.

Recently added runes and runewords to my roguelike/backpack/arpg indie project (deep in dev)

I was sceptical about the design, but the extra player agency+mastery element worked PERFECTLY.

Visuals, need a bit more polish, but what do you think?

This week I'm taking a break from PoE2 to explore the underwater meta on Tenerife.

Saw half a dozen sea turtles. Here's my favourite foto.

Some more aquatic content may follow over the next days.

Poe content resumes next week

Alright. After countless hours over the last weeks:
- My full PoE2 filter
- FilterBlade
- Subscription Style filters
...are all going live at the same time tomorrow.

I'll do a release stream over the course of the day, I expect we'll need 6-8 hours to finish and polish up everything.
January 11, 2025 at 1:30 AM
FilterBlade release for PoE2 will come with a new background of Shambrin - one of my favorite NPCs in the game!

Planned for tomorrow evening!
January 10, 2025 at 5:33 PM
FILTERBLADE + my FILTER tomorrow evening/night (unless something starts burning)
Custom Sounds: YES
Strictness?: YES. 7

Dark Mode?: Unfortunately Canceled... j/k, YES

It'll be available on filterblade + my github

PoE1 standard is this weird place where seemingly impossible items pop up that look like they're bugged.

Sometimes the item actually IS bugged.

Here we have a +23340% fire resist armor that scales armor from off fire-resistance.
Nothing to see here lol.

Releasing my new PoE2 filter + FilterBlade on Saturday-Monday.

All of these statements are true:
- Most advanced PoE2 filter+site tech up-to-date.
- Tons of polish/work
- Won't be perfect. More work will be needed
- Expect multiple patches every week.
- Your feedback matters!
- I'm very anxious.

Chancing bases available in upcoming filter and the best result for each:

- Stellar Amulet (Astramentis)
- Heavy Belt (Headhunter)
- Emerald Ring (Thief's Torment)
- Sapphire Ring (Dream Fragments)

Keep in mind the chances to hit these is super low!
Thoughts?
January 8, 2025 at 2:00 PM
I've given my lite-filter one last final update, until the release of the full filter!

- Endgame maps only show the very best normal/magic bases
- Chancing item highlight
- S-tier uniques
- Some highlight for misc value items!

Grab it here:

Overview of how my filter generation pipeline works in PoE1 and will work in PoE2, once everything is finished.
December 30, 2024 at 7:31 PM
I get asked a lot what's the difference between:

My current PoE2 mini-filter
VS
The upcoming one in one week

Basically the upcoming one is the one you're used to from PoE1. If you've never played PoE1 or like tables check the picture :)

I've been playing poe2 on the steam deck over last week (business travelling).

Here are some experiences:

For context: I've been playing a new merc character and reached act 3 over the time.

I've built a mini-filter for PoE2:

- It doesn't hide anything
- Highlights everything important
- Really helps with gameplay.

Enjoy:

My tierlist for the PoE2 ascendancies.

First pic: MINIMUM tier expected for an ascendancy (pessimistic evaluation, given that we don't know a lot)

2nd pic: likelyhood for a tier to be better than tiered.
However: that's a risk/chance.

Do you agree? What's your S tiers?
