DISGUSTING ventors

negative rarity kills your gold gains

That's crazy still

blissful zodiac
#

yup

#

hm is a decent pre built anyways

umbral crag
#

Thank god i bought my upgrades before the price hike

final owl

the range is huge because it depends entirely on what you put in the pre-built

blissful zodiac
#

Bro this ram I bought in september for 60 bucks per stick is now 190$ per stick

ember goblet

everyone has just gone to how apple has been pricing ram

bruh

final owl
#

apples prices have never had anything to do with the actual cost of the components

ember goblet
#

if the free market matches apples prices, is that a recession indicator?

blissful zodiac

just apple being expensive cause dumbasses will buy it anyways

finite quail

Oh dont worry, apple will raise their prices aswell

The objectively best position is lower left, close enough to the game to identify strongboxes and open portals, while also out of the way of items you want to start populate in the top left.

#

Thank you for coming to my TEDx Sarn talk.

finite quail
#

Top left is best

#

Horizontal top left

#

That way 4 vertical slot items fit in the first two rows

lucid gale
#

Top left row will misalign items below compared to the rest of the columns.

final owl
#

Lower left is what I do.

finite quail
#

And top left is on average closest to anything you need to identify

lucid gale
#

Lower left avoids that aesthetic disaster.

#

I also use bottom left but I find myself putting them into stash when spam depositing so I've started doing bottom right. would be cool if we could lock inventory slots

Have to farm up again if i wanna craft boots

did bro have a multiple of mageblood price

umbral crag

I mean, there's 2 weeks left right? Ig I could if i can muster it in me

umbral crag

That was all i had left rofl

ember goblet
#

you could go do the giga alva farm before it goes away

#

but you kinda need hh....

umbral crag
#

I still have my herald stacker pbod functional technically

#

But idk whats the alva farm? Wasnt it gutted in 3.27 or there's smth new cooked

ember goblet
#

it was found that if you stack 2 evolving shrines it makes it always evolve or something

#

so its even crazier than before

umbral crag
#

Sounds funny to try maybe hm

ember goblet
#

yah

umbral crag
#

Herald stacker explode should do fine i reckon for it

ember goblet
#

i wanna do it but im too lazy to buy idols in phrecia and my keepers char doesnt have explode

umbral crag
#

So its what, 2× evolving, 1x magic incursion and whats the last two?

#

Risk + smth?

ember goblet

yeah it's built around a HH

ember goblet

if so, you're fine
if not, depends

normal hedge

you need explosion body armour

and a bunch phys as extra

final owl
#

Oriath's not enough?

ember goblet
#

oriaths end is enough

umbral crag
#

Idk what im farming for tho tbh

#

To push for 2b dps maybe

final owl
#

i mean, i did alva elvolve in merc league, and it was pretty fun, just in and of itself

#

because it was so silly

ember goblet
#

yah its crazy

normal hedge
#

from what i tested in merc league oriaths lags way more than body armour

umbral crag
#

Wish me luck that my herald stacker can do it kekw

final owl
#

if i did it now it would just be for giggles, not to farm anything specific

umbral crag
#

This league has been the least fun league, but also the first league ive pushed my pob dps this hard kek

normal hedge
#

its fun but it gets old really fast because evoluition shrine works in less than 20% of your maps

final owl
#

yeah that makes it sound about 1/5th as fun

normal hedge
#

ya

final owl
#

and yeah i pushed build(s) way more in keepers than I have in any previous maybe, but i still wouldn't say I loved the league. didn't love the league mechanic and still feeling that lack of ground loot / immediate reward

umbral crag
#

Like last league was my highest dps build at like 120m dps? This league im pushing 1.3b right now. But then again int acc jug is stupid broken this league so

3.15 wasn't bad ngl

thats it

i still had fun

idk its pretty easy to fix poe1 in 3.28 you just need to fix t17s, fix endgame scarabs/strats, fix slams, fix bows, fix self casters, fix trump walls and have a great and rewarding league mechanic idk man

what was fucking bad is the garbage that is kalandra or sentinels

It is limited to 2 because we only have steam and stand alone.

The actual thing is you can not have them automated. For example your can't clone your inputs from 1 client and send to the other. You need to use them separately

ember goblet

nah they have an actual hardcoded limit of 2 clients

A time-honoured tradition of mine is to accidentally launch two copies of the same game EXE.

It took longer to figure out than it should have that it wasnt a poe bug

It was just me opening up new pob instances on second monitor to look at each terrible discord build that gets posted and then wondering where my fps disappeared to followed by crash

hard cliff

launch two parallel leagues at once and you fight shadow clone reflections of other players as the league mechanic

ember goblet

league mechanic is pvp

# hard cliff I deserve too

be that as it may, I think it's obvious building a league mechanic entirely around punishing death is not going to be wildly popular.

Imagine, if you will, that all of the standard player skills are disabled. And instead, there's a skill gem for every enemy attack - the more rare the enemy/more uncommon the attack, the more rare that gem is. And obviously each skill can only drop from enemies that use the skill. Support gems still exist, so you can have power scaling, but all the active gems are literally just the monster's attacks.

#

A full 'taught by the wilds' sort of thing

#

Would it be feasible? I don't know. Would it be fun? I also don't know. But it would be an interesting way to really shake things up

hard cliff

people would lose their mind at poe being that dynamic lol

# split maple Can I get some humble shaper balls

The thing is as absolutely broken as it would be, it's also kinda balanced because you'd only be able to get it from Shaper directly, and presumably it'd be weighted somewhere similar to a t0 unique, so people would be forced to grind it a LOT if they want that specific skill.

Could also make the gems unable to be traded, if there was concern there

Started HZD on Easy to enjoy the story and scenery, stepped up all the way to the hardest difficulty in the New Game modes.

#

Still my go-to example of interesting difficulty modes.

potent bramble
lucid gale
#

At some higher difficulty, they take away your auto-homing arrows and modify monster AI.

potent bramble
#

Like the pre-boss for Exarch has that thing with the 5 beams of light, that'd be so much fun... but you gotta get there

lucid gale
#

The homing worked in that if you released your bow as you aimed for a weak spot, your shot would curve to hit that spot even if the monster moved.

lucid gale
#

When you suddenly don't have that crutch. you have to play quite differently.

ember goblet
#

zao have you played noita perchance?

lucid gale
#

The monster AI was an interesting affordance too, where you don't generally notice it but the enemies take turns attacking you in lower difficulty levels, much like a Kung Fu movie.

#

When they remove that limitation, you sure as heck notice.

hzd is pretty but did start to feel a bit mechanically repetitive later. i can't really remember if i actually finished it

#

Some peeps feel that the story arc becomes a bit meh, but I liked the experience enough to play through it a few times.
The first time knowing nothing at all, and a few more knowing all the backstory and mechanics.

#

The story is part of why I want to play H:FW, just to see where it goes.

#

The mechanics definitely start to feel a bit solved, somewhat mitigated by going up in difficulties.

onyx adder

I found the story to be super engaging, but the gameplay just didn't hold me. That was then though, maybe I'll feel differently if I try it again

Anyway, I hear there's PoE <_<

Speaking of PoE, Zao! If you could pick an enemy attack to be able to use as your own (imagining it was a skill gem), any attacks stand out as ones you'd be excited about?

# ember goblet zao have you played noita perchance?

Yeah, didn't grab me. I played a fair bit of the initial linear game, learned a lot about where the game could go and the mechanical weirdness it went into, but I didn't like the tendency for bricked runs and having to replay early areas.

potent bramble
# ember goblet headhunter but you steal their attacks

Hypothetical full overhaul/rework/whatever as a "this would be interesting but probably impossible", just replacing the player's active skills with gems that do the enemy attack, dropped exclusively by the enemy that uses that skill. In case you missed the start of the conversation

ember goblet
#

having to replay early areas

🥺🥺

lucid gale
#

Felt like a slog to clear wide to get a reliable start going, as diving too fast generally had you underpowered unless you could steer yourself into a working build.
Also always too tempted to go Left.

I appreciate the depth and flexibility of the systems, but it's not my bowl of soup.

As I understood it back then, even just getting bosses to work standalone outside of their arenas like Archnemesis and Maven was a fair bit of work.

nvm, i see "s" in PoEs

#

has there been a survey on poe acts

lucid gale
#

Campaign throughput in PoE1 is definitely higher, even if I myself take two days in a launch weekend to get through acts.

#

Can't stop doing side quests.

#

I've finally started to learn to skip packs.

ember goblet
#

would be so much better off with only the first 5 acts

onyx adder
ember goblet
#

i wholeheartedly dislike -- no, i outright hate the last 5 acts

onyx adder
#

Eh theyre all the same to me

livid quarry
#

early acts the worst at least later theres big packs

#

and ms is higher

split maple
#

Last 5 acts are faster than first 5

#

Coz build is getting together

#

So they better in my book

ember goblet
#

idk i just cant stand having to play through them

#

well i can

#

i just dont like it

onyx adder
#

Its just zero thinking zero agency zero variation blah to get through

#

The only interesting bit is if u switch to ur real build early and see it come together, but that generally increases ur act time

ember goblet
#

one of the areas of poe where optimizing it isnt part of the fun

#

my act times will forever be shit because its not fun to improve them

onyx adder
#

And generally id rather play armabrand cremation for 1 less hour total than play half of my real build for 1 more hour total

# livid quarry has there been a survey on poe acts

I think, honestly, the only time I get genuinely annoyed during the acts is in 5 and 10, to get to that one boss, I don't remember the name. High Templar Whatever and Innocence, I think? And it's 100% just the layout of that zone and the torched court to get there. I just cannot figure out a visual method of knowing where the expected route is, so I just have to hug a wall until I get there

livid quarry
#

2nd time i heard of the wall hugging

#

hope it changes my exp

Also this. I would love it if the bois he summons either show up a bit faster, or just skip the cool down if you kill the previous pack. Like if I can one shot 5 of 'em, just give me the next ones and don't make me wait for them

anyone have some brand templar levelling

onyx adder
#

Honestly the biggest speed improvement u will get in templar courts is knowing u can frostblink through the windows in the second half of the zone

potent bramble
# dark sequoia What order do you do Act 2?

Always right then left. You don't need any quests active to do the full right side, so you can clear all of that, go back to town, do everything on the left, warp to town at the door in the rock, then warp back and you're set for the rest of the act

onyx adder
#

Which means u basically never have to backtrack

finite quail
#

Sins immediately for HoA, then crypt, then kraityn, then Oak, then Alira, then passage, then weaver, then vaal oversoul

actually i might do a full lore playthrough on a templar

The second half of templar courts has little rectangular windows between the rooms

This is also true for synth maps, which have the same windows

that means my brain has unlocked the ability to make its own choices

Its also because ur angle needs to be correct

If u just blindly frostblink into the window u wont go through it
