[placid yarrow]

I only started playing ranked a couple years ago and sparingly just because the queue times are faster lol

[desert jasper]

I started in like... 2010?
I remember the patch after i started Miss Fortune came

[junior stirrup]

I did great in support and mid, probably plat-grade.
Had a placement series where I had 8/10 games forced into jungle 😄

[placid yarrow]

I started in early 2013

[junior stirrup]

Only survived that because I streamed the games to my mates and had some serious backseating for Malphite 😄

Had absolutely no idea about jungle pathing, gearing, pacing, ganking, or anything ^_^

[placid yarrow]

Nice, my peak was low masters

[junior stirrup]

Quit permanently a whole bunch a years ago as the game tanked my mood.

I still watch my mates every now and then, trying to work on map awareness and ponder where missing champs go.

[placid yarrow]

I do think if I played the game nonstop for a whole year I could likely get grandmasters but I don't have that in me anymore lol, when I am playing I play like 5-10 games a week nowadays

I often don't play for months at a time

[desert jasper]

I made it to plat
But mostly I didn't really want to put in the effort after some point

[placid yarrow]

Yep same

It does feel good to get the rank for sure but not good enough to make me wanna play as much as it would need

I'm fine with sticking to emerald/diamond where it feels like the game gives resistance both ways

[desert jasper]

I was fine with making it to diamond in Starcraft2 though

[placid yarrow]

I never got very deep into SC2, would just play with friends mostly

It was fun though

[desert jasper]

I was a big fan of rts
Can't play them at the same level anymore though
makes my hands hurt

[placid yarrow]

There's one called beyond all reason that seemed interesting

I haven't tried it out yet

But it seems to be heavily inspired by supreme commander from what I've seen

[maiden widget]

They also work 40h+ a week and have a live so any hour used to help others you sacrifice limited free time

[fierce moth]

Yes another reason. So you must have values, it's a filter for saving more time

[blissful token]

Sounds like me when it comes to magik. Always never picked magik in game. Always thought they are complicated and doesnt appeal to me. Always only want to go unga bunga.

Been playing the early ff games (ff7 to 10) and ps1 jrpgs by just brute forcing physical dmg characters during younger times until recent years where i have a mandatory magic/healer character in party.

Also one of the major reason why i stopped Genshin Impact early during its release because of those element interactions that makes me lazy to play and think.

Recently, i started thinking they are actually just "physical" damage in different flavours and colours and i dislike magic abit less

[placid yarrow]

Yep like for example when I played divinity original sin 2 I did a lone wolf playthrough and both my other playthroughs were also lone wolf, managing several characters didn't appeal to me whatsoever. If that game had competitive multiplayer pvp I would totally stay in a worse rank playing lone wolf than doing an actual comp

People simply like what they like

[blissful token]

I also played Tav as barbarian in BG3, using fighter laezel, barbarian karlach, priest shadowheart

Shadowheart is just there for heals, buff and break walls with eldritch blast and some elementless magik

My party is so physical-heavy

[desert jasper]

I always do prefer melee
I'll accept using magic to buff or heal but as primary dmg? not my thing

[junior oyster]

Minions for me usually

[fierce moth]

I'm a caster forever! :)

[desert jasper]

I'l accept minions

[fierce moth]

summoner, caster, ranger, all of them and hybrid from them are welcomed. But melee and relevant hybrid? I need time to accept

Such a pity that lich exist in poe 2 only... No idea which ascendency I prefer in poe

[elder sky]

just for @dusky heath

[dusky heath]

Please read #rules 10 and please read my messages in the other channel again. I really need you to use the in game bug reporting tool as we can't provide support or accept bug reports this way.

[elder sky]

🙁 bugged

For sure, my druid corr

[dusky heath]

OK, this is my 6th time asking you to either use the in game bug reporting tool instead and/or not use the discord channels for bug reporting. I need you to please respect the rules of this discord.

It is clear that you want us to investigate this and I'm more than happy to if you follow the correct procedure. Please press the [F8] key in game to open the in game bug reporting tool.

[fierce moth]

...I have thought I went to wrong channel again

I checked 3 times Is it off topic here lol

[elder sky]

Yes yes I will do, just want to show you that Im 100% right about what Im desribing ingame :). Hope in will be patched in next hotfix

[blissful token]

DNA is so happening and i wish i can start trying it now but am at work

My friend is playing poison with Rebecca o.o

[desert jasper]

No idea what that is

[blissful token]

The anime warframe game

Gachaless gacha 🤷🏻‍♂️

[desert jasper]

Ahh right, that

[fierce moth]

https://pobb.in/_SBSg4CLMiHX
Ok I find a new build. That's the one I want to play.

Let's chaos power the world

If I can stack enough budget by this build, I go back to play https://pobb.in/pPTkhizfOZFI this build

[desert jasper]

Ah, totems again

[abstract karma]

still need wait for patchnotes..

Since this league is either weird bow or kinetic or trying poison medicore assassin
(not counting bloodlines because its just adds a few perks to existinct builds)

Would like to try poison assassin but seems it hard to scale from starter which means it will be overpriced as hell to get

most ppl wont use new skill windburst as devs wanted trough bow anyway..
It will be mostly used on flicker strike as supporting dmg

[desert jasper]

But the patch notes are already out..?

[abstract karma]

and where you have new skills descriptions ? it should come in wendesday so i've heard
pre-patch showcase was in that showcase video + what they released

There could be a few tweaks and in many cases last updates to patch notes also showed graphically compare of old and change of gems

ppl were able made predictions for kinetic rain because it was showcased but it not for all gems

[desert jasper]

Well yeah, the skill info would be nice to have

[fierce moth]

Such a pity that lich exist in poe 2 only because chaos damage + curse + withered is a fun skill combo... No idea which ascendency I prefer in poe. Summoner, caster, ranger, all of them and hybrid from them are welcomed. But melee and relevant hybrid? I need time to accept. Elemental damage is biased if caster or ranger is selected.
@junior stirrup do you think this is a good build which matched with this info and can clear breach well? I heard this build is good at clearing maps but not quite good on single target.

I have no idea but I feel dot in poe 2 is fun, not sure about poe

[junior stirrup]

I can't build design my way out of a wet paper bag.

[fierce moth]

A wet paper bag? Which slang is it... Wait

[junior stirrup]

The idiom is about not being able to punch your way out of a wet paper bag - something that should be trivial as wet paper tears easily.

Big weakness or complete ineptness.

[fierce moth]

Oh... To say you can't help something completely. Thanks, new idiom +1

Alright... Zao don't know what to say. It's my choice for which builds should I play

Are you out of your mind?
People have been asking that a lot lately. I'm inclined to start saying yes

Nice nice. So much I can learnt from a tv series

[junior stirrup]

Instead of cooking up builds, I've been baking cookies.

Been a few years since I baked a lot, fun to get back in the groove and relearn things.

[blissful token]

How long till all these current gacha waifus become a thing of the past

[tawny sand]

duet night abyss takes a while to get going tbh, i'm not enjoying it so far

maybe it gets better tho dunno

[blissful token]

Oooh what can you tell

[tawny sand]

like what can i tell about the game? idk, there's not much and i've been playing for maybe 2-3 hours? It's just a slow start

good music though

and the lore seems interesting enough

[blissful token]

🤔

[fierce moth]

What do you think on matcha cookies?

Maybe you will want to try a matcha donut

[tawny sand]

tbh i'm more in the where winds meet waiting room atm, so maybe i'm not giving DNA an honest try so far

i'm very much hoping WWM is good, looks sick

[blissful token]

14 nov tho

[fierce moth]

This render inspired me to explore food photography because I know nothing about this field while I rendered that

[tawny sand]

yehhhh 😔

[blissful token]

The weapons are interesting: spear, sword, rope dart, mo blade, dual blades, combat umbrella, fan

In chinese wushu, Rope dart is hella hard to master

And idk what is mo blade

I think if Kirra plays, Kirra would pick fan or umbrella?

[junior stirrup]

I've got a hard time with the grassy taste of matcha, don't think I've had anything delicious with it yet.

[fierce moth]

Grassy taste hhhhhhhh

I can prove matcha powder you got don't good enough

It will smell like seaweed and pretty green if it's fancy enough

[fierce moth]

you remind me of I should play more wuthering waves

I want to say the city design just... not my tea. Ancient Chinese garden + modern fantasy... Odd combo

[fierce moth]

Unfortunately Japanese matcha powder still is the top one though they're more and more expensive

Oh you can try roasted tea flavour maybe, it come from Japan too, usually appear with matcha but the price is 1/2 only. Friendly for your wallet but it still have special tea flavour

[blissful token]

you can try Where Wind Minds when it release on 14 Nov

the world is literally build by and named jianghu

[fierce moth]

jianghu...emmmmmmm

Oh... that game

I want to play blood message but no release date for this game yet

lol tea is the strength and the weakness of Chinese dessert... Everything can includes tea, it's a tool to connect different part of Chinese cultures, but we're trapped in tea too. Disconnect with the world because it mean another flavours are rare and expensive.

you fuxk me, I fuxk back.

[desert jasper]

Baking is fun
And I miss it a lot

[fierce moth]

I think... Vlad will have lot of things can share if we take this topic seriously

But yes, not all hobbyists want to be professional so take it easy

[blissful token]

the airdash and everything is so warframe

even the controls are same

[fierce moth]

Cool

@obtuse rune Good morning, remember to eat breakfast, are you Android or ios user?

[obtuse rune]

Gooood morning~!

You asking which I prefer? Would totally be Android

[fierce moth]

Oh you're using a Android phone? Why?

[desert jasper]

Why not?

[fierce moth]

He can have a choice.

[obtuse rune]

Android has always felt more natural to me

[fierce moth]

which brand do you prefer for a Android phone? why?

[obtuse rune]

Not one that is like the best, just...not ios

[fierce moth]

It's one of ascendency node from occultist. It mean I can get more buff from more power charges. But this build focus on dot. So do I need more max mana on gears and do increase damage here helpful for dot?
https://pobb.in/_SBSg4CLMiHX

[desert jasper]

Yes that increased dmg would boost your dot
You would however not get the primary benefit of power charges which is increased crit chance.

[fierce moth]

Oh yes I'm confused why this people manage the passive tree without any defense too. All of them is increase chaos dot

Do he serious?... I don't think I can surive in t15 without any defense on passive tree.

[fierce moth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqyltsve66E
It come from this video

I know how crazy enemies in campaign and endgame are from poe 2. It's impressive so I don't think poe will down the difficulty.

Or it's a strategy for glass cannon lover?

(Learn how to build the defense at first is the lesson I learnt from poe 2)

Oh I think I will need that flask which immune blood and corrupted blood too

Wait... 74 mana available only????? hah?

[neon sigil]

Hows the fort holding down over there?

[fierce moth]

Wait, why he don't increase effect of withered...

Use withered to increase chaos damage is a bad thing in poe?...

[desert jasper]

No, it's not bad

[fierce moth]

....I find this logic isn't in my flavour at all. I will just die. I need to cook my passive tree

🤔 The hard thing is... No more ascendency points available for bloodline ascendencies

None of them isn't important

[obtuse rune]

The Fort Holding goes well!

I suppose 👀

[fierce moth]

Can you tell you which skill gem in poe can apply withered please?

[desert jasper]

Well that build already gets wither from the occultist
It also has withering step that applies wither
Also there's

You usually throw that on totem support with multitotem, possibly faster casting too

[fierce moth]

oh wow withering step?! That's quite cool

A movement skill which apply withered!

[tawny sand]

whew, hurricane melissa is crazy. hoping for the best in that part of the world.

[fierce moth]

yes I think wither should be totem's work. I don't want to take movement speed debuff

Let me check out what clarity do...

Oh vaal clarity is quite good. My skills cost 0 mana

then it mean I don't need mana regeneration on passive tree... Nice

[desert jasper]

That movement speed debuff is for enemies, not you.
It's also a channeled skill so you're staying still while casting it anyway

Remember that vaal auras have a limited duration, they're not permanent

[fierce moth]

?!

[desert jasper]

...yes
Just like other vaal skills

The Vaal aura has 2 parts
the normal aura that works just like it normally does
and then the Vaal part which is a temporary buff and costs souls (you get souls by killing enemies)
on other vaal skills the vaal skill also works differently from the normal skill.

[fierce moth]

?!

I get souls by killing enemies...Emmmm... Then it mean I need to cost mana at first :(

Alright. Mana regeneration is what I need to consider in passive tree too

which skill is better for chaos dot occultist, essence drain or blight of contagion, why? I mean the main damage skill.

[desert jasper]

They're both good.
But not good alone, you need to also use contagion with them.

[fierce moth]

Emmmmm... Then it's the same with poe 2

[desert jasper]

But I guess blight of contagion deals higher dmg than essence drain
essence drain is just nice because you cast it once and it deals the dmg
blight needs to channel a bit

[fierce moth]

Ok then I can assign mana leech support for one and energy leech support for the other one

[desert jasper]

Leech doesn't work with dot.

[fierce moth]

?!

.........

lol New knowledge I just learnt: Poe have Annointment exclusive notables

3 mastery types I got so 18% increased es recharge rate available. Not sure if it's worthwhile... Let's see can I afford that later

But I feel 80% increased evasion rating do nothing

Better to keep 100% es. lol back to poe 2 +1

ok 115/122 lv 95 I managed. It should enough because I'm not sure can I reach lv 95...

[mental talon]

https://youtu.be/x00nIXnU-_U?si=YQGD-kbAX1To8js9

Well, this just changed my leveling practice plans

[junior oyster]

95 is relatively easy in poe1 imo

[fierce moth]

well after played poe 2... Hard to say

Do poe have delirious waystones too?

[abstract karma]

you can make maps delirious, you can have special portals to delirious areas, some unique map but not exactly waystone..

Everyting is rotating around maps implicit values till you run endgame delirious area (or just using delirious to juice maps)

[fierce moth]

oh remind of these amazing map fragments... They will interesting to explore

I need to complete the dungeon from sacrifice set this time

[mental talon]

Oh man my brain is starting to spin at the possibilities of Grafts

This is so sick, saves an entire Ring Slot by itself

[fierce moth]

... i just see why Wicked play duet night abyss

It include loot-based elements

[fierce moth]

oh... Wait I just know 2 contagions here... Blight of contagion and contagion. emmmm

Too many skills. I must select 1 in blight of contagion and essence drain

[fierce moth]

🤔 I maybe figure out why blight of contangion is better than essence drain... I need more projectiles support gems, which mean I must sacrifice part of damage to exchange

It require more dexterity too, which I will lack of so much

[gilded elm]

From E33 discord, for any artists who might be interested

[jade jackal]

So infinitely based

Since there's no such thing as an "AI artist" anyway

goat studio with a goat game

[gilded elm]

To be fair, I don't think there's an official E33 Discord. This is just the largest community managed one, so they're the ones who are paying for the emotes.

[fierce moth]

🤔 interesting stream

[jade jackal]

@vagrant topaz would you look at that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUSH06p9N6w

I love this show

[vagrant topaz]

Pretty cool show, didnt know about it

[jade jackal]

tasting history is a great great show

[vagrant topaz]

But fun fact, Vlad in my name doesnt come from Vlad the Impaler ^^

But from the game Golden Sun

[jade jackal]

I know, we just like to remind you that everytime we hear about the impaler it reminds us of you

[desert jasper]

I can't remember Vlad in Golden Sun tbh

[vagrant topaz]

Thats the french translation of Isaac

Somehow

[fierce moth]

Cold summer (Winter), summer (Autumn), hot summer (Summer) and wet summer (Spring)

lol nice description of GuangZhou's weather

[maiden widget]

Golden sun is so good

I should replay it

[desert jasper]

Ahh, yea that would explain why I haven't seen Vlad lul

[junior oyster]

Vlad to me (not being political here ofc) is Vlad Poo

You can't say his real name as it gets modded lol

[desert jasper]

Sounds like you need to read what Blight of Contagion has
"The damaging debuff is spread by Contagion"
so you use the skill Contagion first and then blight them with this

It's the same mechanic as essence drain + contagion.

[hot crown]

Updating Guild Wars 2 client. A new expansion is out today.

A shame I can't keep up at all.

Oh well.

[fierce moth]

🫠 poedb have heavy overloading, I can't check out skill gem list

[hot crown]

There's a term for that, called Slashdot effect.

When a horde of people is trying to access a single resource at once.

Think sentient DDoS.

I take it that there's an influx of new data on poedb?

And a lot of people want to know which data is new?

[fierce moth]

oh it mean... Blight of contagion only works after enemies affect by contagion, essence drain works before enemies effect by contagion, but if I want aoe quickly, I need contagion. So the order should essence drain -> contagion -> blight of contagion?

yes...ddos

[desert jasper]

You don't need essence drain in that.
You can just contagion > blight of contagion
If there's only a few enemies I'm sure blight alone can take them

[twilit mountain]

ED/C and Blight of Contagion are two different builds. You don't use both.

[fierce moth]

I wonder which support gems I need for essence drain + contagion

[twilit mountain]

The answer is none, ED/C is pretty dogshit in PoE1

[fierce moth]

dogshit is...good or bad?

[twilit mountain]

Bad

[desert jasper]

Very bad

[fierce moth]

make sense on it's reworked in poe 2

[desert jasper]

It used to be pretty decent in poe1
But I think it kinda fell off hard around the time when they buffed all end game monster hp a lot
and it just hasn't gained any real numerical buffs
Sure, it can still clear maps
but bossing..? yeah it was a pain even back then

[vagrant topaz]

What are you planning to start ?

[twilit mountain]

Not really certain yet, ngl

[junior oyster]

SrS witch because I like her toes

[twilit mountain]

I'm irritated that PoB hasn't updated at all, we usually get at least numerical and tree/ascend changes before the update goes live

[junior oyster]

Hopefully I can do t16s relatively ok with srs

[vagrant topaz]

Still 3 days to go

[desert jasper]

srs should be good for t16s

[junior oyster]

Without needing to spend a lot for upgrading the build I mean

[twilit mountain]

SRS is still an uber stomper, you'll be fine

[junior oyster]

Yea nah I'm aware

[desert jasper]

Ah well yeah might be a different story, not spending a lot

[junior oyster]

Yea

I know last time in settlers I kinda melted sirus with a fairly weak srs build

[vagrant topaz]

I wish we could see footages of the new skill gems

Would help me decide

But either Conflagration or Kinetic Rain

[twilit mountain]

Kinetic Rain is nerfed

[junior oyster]

My only issue with srs will be having to constantly summon srs

[vagrant topaz]

I am really new on poe so I am sure I am wrong but psn conflagration assassin looks cool

[desert jasper]

I'm honestly kinda thinking of going kinetic rain spellslinger to all poisoning stuff

[junior oyster]

Causing rsi potentially

[twilit mountain]

Unleash.

[junior oyster]

Nah it's a skill issue for me lol

[vagrant topaz]

What spellslinger does ?

[junior oyster]

I just happen to keep spamming right click

[twilit mountain]

Reserves mana based on linked spell cost, casts spell when you attack with a wand

[fierce moth]

ohhhhh Vlad play poe too?

[vagrant topaz]

A bit

I am very new

Well

[fierce moth]

Welcome to join the 3.27 club :) I'm new too

[vagrant topaz]

I played very little on a large period ^^

[junior oyster]

Same

Kind of

[desert jasper]

I've about 3k hours on steam
No idea how many on the standalone client

but it's quite a few

[junior oyster]

I have 1.7k hours

But I still suck

[fierce moth]

....Cough. I don't think anyone more new than me :)

[twilit mountain]

I have 4.4k on Steam, about 2k on standalone, and like 1.5k on console

[junior oyster]

Though in settlers I did solo a t17 map

Abomination

With srs

[desert jasper]

I did the Katarina one

With viper strike of the mamba

[junior oyster]

T17 was easier than maven

I hate memory game mechanics

[twilit mountain]

I hate Maven because I can't see her damn attacks

[junior oyster]

And for some reason I couldn't deal with the bosses she spawned

[desert jasper]

Yeah I'm not a fan of them either really
I already have issues when enough things are happening on the screen

I've killed her a few times still
but I'd never go for the über

[junior oyster]

I've never done any ubers lol

And don't care for it ngl

But yea I've beaten each boss solo over different leagues

Pinnacle at least

Tried the delve boss not sure how I died to him

[twilit mountain]

I've beaten every uber and T17 within one league, and wow some are just badly designed fights

[desert jasper]

I didn't do any of the memory bosses last league

[twilit mountain]

I did all of them. They're very mid.

[gilded elm]

VS / Balatro collab free DLC pog

[junior oyster]

Would have preferred a StS collab even if onesided

But beggars can't be choosers

[gilded elm]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3833280/_/?l=schinese

A new ARPG from a Chinese game studio, have a few popular mobile games before.

The trailer give me a feeling of.... poe 2? The vibe, the vfx, the camera, the music...

The trailer get over 1.39 million views on Bilibili

[abstract karma]

geez if you didnt mind graphic (tho its just weird since you focus digital art not not able overcome it)

Rather than searching for weird copies or mobile games you could just look on vast old school games

[fierce moth]

Oh yes, SOUL KNIGHT. It's their brand game

16 people in the studio only... This level of quanlity is crazy

Steam remind me this new game relevant to grim dawn and last epoch. We will see

[twilit mountain]

Soul Knight is a nice little mobile game.

[abstract karma]

seems to me according title its more like wicked soul like

[fierce moth]

Never play that unfortunately

The studio said will not go to soul-like direction

I have thought most of recent Chinese games aren't unique enough because they usually tell Chinese myth to tell stories. The selling point is stories instead of gameplay. But this one is fresh. Like black myth, it focus on attracting players by gameplay. Do what the team is good at, that's enough.

I like that.

Blood message is exception... Because the story is attracting enough. Most games don't do well on neither gameplay or storytelling

[dusky heath]

@quaint obsidian

[quaint obsidian]

nice actully yes i see it

[dusky heath]

it was just the first 2 books/seasons and I was planning on doing 2 more sets to make a full block for the rest of the books/seasons. Never finished the second set.

[quaint obsidian]

i love artifacts, i think maybe 3 times now ive tried to make an ultimate kimba commander deck 😄

[dusky heath]

oh I know it well

[quaint obsidian]

yeah problem is , it never makes it round the table with an equipment on it

[dusky heath]

It's also just outclassed with power creep, it's an uncommon now. If it were printed at rare today it would have double strike or first strike + vigilance or maybe first strike + lifelink.

[quaint obsidian]

yeah , power creep has made a few of my fav commanders not so good now

[quaint obsidian]

i moved onto the black white phyraxian guy and that seems to work good

[quaint obsidian]

nice , dont even need to sac

ninjitsu them for some fun

[quaint obsidian]

this is the guy i use now

[dusky heath]

I've been moving away from anything that uses +1/+1 counters as I find them so fiddly.

[quaint obsidian]

lmao , all the dice

ultra pro made some token things a few years ago , i use them to keep track on my +1 +1 , ill try and find a pic

[dusky heath]

the problem is when you have 10 different tokens, 1 has 1 counter, 1 has 2 counters, 1 has 3 counters...

proliferate...

[quaint obsidian]

yeah , not good. my hydra deck gets a bit out of hand with that

whats your main commander now then ?

[dusky heath]

I went on a bit of a rebuilding spree so of my 34 assembled decks, I haven't played 9 of them but my goto deck that I have played would probably be Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief - Auras.

[quaint obsidian]

ahh ok , ive not come against that yet but whats the idea ? take the good and counter the bad ?

[dusky heath]

copy terrible enchantments for value and smash face

[quaint obsidian]

lol fair enough , do you ever play on tts?

[dusky heath]

not for over a decade

I do pickup webcam games through TCC discord sometimes

[quaint obsidian]

ive not done that , is it good ?

[dusky heath]

yup, never had a bad game

[quaint obsidian]

fairs , ill have to look for it and join

[dusky heath]

(TCC = Tolarian Community College)

[quaint obsidian]

ahhhh that guy 😄

im in 😄

hopfully one day we will get a game in

[dusky heath]

you never know

[quaint obsidian]

😄 well thanks for your time aswell dude , means alot to me , love that you reply to every message on there

[neon sigil]

When I was on college a lot of the people playing against me would fold when they started losing.

mostly because of my +1+1 counter and token shenanigans.

I know now its because they were a pain on the receiving end

[fierce moth]

Your dream is become a card game designer?

[blissful token]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[fierce moth]

Sorry to say I have to mute all channels because I still need to click the channel to make as read but I can read nothing. Spams are annoying.

[fierce moth]

I wonder do card game industry influenced by "no job if no experience, no experience if no job" too.

People who play physical card games as I know... Only available on game hub.
Game hub = a club type which sell services of playing various physical card games or tabletop games, or console games, suitable for a small party with friends

I have experienced game hub 2 times, that's very enjoyable because someone play with you and they will not teach you without any patience.
Everyone is learnt the game from zero but still great fun

It let me realize many people always can play the game better than me because they know how to use rules well... I'm failed at this point

[desert jasper]

Really depends how easily you learn the basics

[fierce moth]

lol Ziz posted a new build guide video 1h ago. That build is what I mentioned I want to try after chaos caster occultist... Storm Burst Totems Hierophant

[junior stirrup]

@desert jasper Not sure if you've got them over in the east, but I made kolakakor the other day.

Delicious 😄

[desert jasper]

Had to google
Apparently they're a thing here too, I think I've had them once or twice before
can't remember the taste though

[fierce moth]

?! Silent message available here too

[fierce moth]

Any photos you took?

[junior stirrup]

White balance is quite off, but it's a golden brown cookie with a bit of a caramel taste, either a bit chewy or crispy based on how you bake them.

[desert jasper]

Tbh the reason I don't really baek as much these days is that I live alone so I'd have to eat it all
and it's a lot of carbs for a diabetic person

[junior stirrup]

I don't eat much myself either, I tend to sink them into the workplace.

[blissful token]

FedEx to SEA pls

[fierce moth]

Have Grey ate your Kolakakor?

[desert jasper]

Yeah, I used to do that when I still had a job
A few times my old boss requested that I'd bake a cake she really enjoyed for their meeting

[junior stirrup]

Probably.

[desert jasper]

Maybe i'll bake a cake or a pie for christmas again

[junior stirrup]

I'm thinking of maybe trying lussekatter for Lucia if I can get my hands on a decent mixer.

[desert jasper]

Ah
Can't even remember the last time I had those

Is it hard to get all the ingredients in NZ?

I remember a friend of mine was in the states for some time and couldn't find the right flour etc

Well, she did eventually because she traveled to some area that has a lot of Finns in there
Actually saw a few of my relatives there which I found out about years later when they visited us and mentioned her

[fierce moth]

hhhhhhh I just saw a 1 min video, about a man try to... Try to walk on water

🤭 He can't do that after tried that 2 weeks but he recorded how he try that everyday

[desert jasper]

Right
I should head out, need to deliver a thing to place that opens soon

[junior stirrup]

The syrups are a bit different and you don't have vaniljsocker.
Pärlsocker you can get from specialty import stores; saffron I'm not sure if I can find ground or if I have to get a mortar and pestle.

[desert jasper]

Mortar and pestle is useful in general tbh
Also I should know those words but I still have to check if I'm right in the meaning

I actually boughr mortar + pestle a while ago bcs I saw one for cheap and it was cute

[fierce moth]

🤔 oh phone number isn't a correct term... Americans use cells

[fierce moth]

That's perfect if I'm in a wooden cabin near the lake, fireplace is working, a few thick blankets on the sofa, my head lay on a soft pillow and close my eyes, the sound system playing a D&D or an epic ambient soundtrack.

Not sure any mosquito's troubles will happen here in summer though

[desert jasper]

Took this almost in the city center

[sand wigeon]

We do in fact say "phone number"

I have never heard an American say cell, or cellphone, unless they're eighty

It's just "phone number" and "phone"

[desert jasper]

Think I've heard digits being used too, rarely

[desert jasper]

My standard ES tab is looking nice

[sand wigeon]

I’ve heard it a decent amount in the punky queer circles as an alt way for lesbians to sound cool

And as someone who is part of the “punky queer circle with alt ways for lesbians to sound cool,” it does in fact sound cool

[desert jasper]

I don't think it sounds cool tbh

[sand wigeon]

It’s the way they say it dw

It does sound stupid in text

[rugged marsh]

that's true art!

[sudden anchor]

My friend preordered a robot for 200$ 🤣

https://www.1x.tech/neo

[desert jasper]

Too bad it's standard
my league stash will never look like that

[fierce moth]

Excuse me, which thing will make a people looks special when their story/their skills just as normal as another people in your opinion?

You're a programmer. Ok let's think someone is a programmer too.

[fierce moth]

Oh it's not a right angle. I figured it out

Alright alright alright. I need to play a role-playing game. I need to act like someone

It's a key which I found in May but I don't realize how important is it at that moment.

Just believe you own that and imagine you own that already if you want something
I saw it from a video

[quaint obsidian]

nooo , my dream is to work at EHG , ive put my self through university and im doing my masters now , changed mine and my family's life at 32 years old to try and make it happen

[fierce moth]

Glad to hear you have some base on your life so you can learn something more freely

Which job do you want to work in?

[quaint obsidian]

yes but its not easy 😛 , hardest things ive done so far which is saying something

I'm a games artist , environment and props but right now I'm a producer as well which is really good

[fierce moth]

You want to be a art producer? EHG is hiring that

[quaint obsidian]

yea i seen that but i still have 8 months of my masters left and i wouldnt want to apply to waist there time if i cant keep up with there work flow , its catch 22 type situation

ide love to do both 😄

brb i have to vc with client 😛

[fierce moth]

Environment artist or art producer? Very cool

[quaint obsidian]

no i mean work at ehg and complete my masters 😄

[fierce moth]

I'm confused what do you want to say... Work at EHG yes complete your master yes you're a producer yes

Oh good luck. I hope EHG's art producer keep opening for you

[junior oyster]

Not American but here we say mobile or mobile number

Ofc phone number too

But both those are interchangeable

[desert jasper]

I think here you just ask "can I get your number"

[junior oyster]

It took me this long to realise Alva is an anagram of Vaal

Around 2k hours of playing poe1 and 2

[fierce moth]

Can I have a chance to see your portfolio?

[quaint obsidian]

https://www.artstation.com/triplebeam1

newer stuff is on a NDA so i cant put that up just yet

[fierce moth]

Nice to meet you, James

You have much more possibilities than me to work at EHG. Come on!

I win if you win

The most interesting part is the difference between us on doing something as similar as something in imperial welryn and sapphire quarter

It's quite familiar hhhhhhhhh

I think you should share what you did inspired from le here too (it's the sense of #🎨┃fanart )

[vagrant topaz]

I feel like I recognise the sword

The last art

[quaint obsidian]

thank you , the sword is from WoW just made to look real

[quaint obsidian]

nice to meet you also

[desert jasper]

Ah, dang
Kinetic Rain pushed to lvl 28 instead of act1

[junior oyster]

Lol

I'm glad srs is a1

[fierce moth]

🫠 Everything about hand drawing is quite tough because my hands always shaking... Damn hand it's

[junior oyster]

I'm kinda happy about this skill tree but will defo look up a guide
https://pobb.in/xiKiWpGyekdW

Still need to sort out gear and gems and that's the part I usually struggle with

I guess with gear it's mostly making sure I get life/resists down before I worry about the really endgame stuff

[twilit mountain]

There's some optimizing you can do in tree to save a few points

[junior oyster]

Ok I'll go over my tree at some point

Thanks

Changed it up a little and could potentially remove some jewel skills for the minion tree on the left side https://pobb.in/RllaEuyL5Gbg

Just realised I could save 2 points if I remove the minion nodes at the start of the tree and take the int nodes instead

But I think early on I'm going to take the minion nodes for sure

[twilit mountain]

Yeah, that's pretty normal

You have.... so much life increase.

[junior oyster]

Do I not want life increase?

I took one of the smaller life increase nodes off too

[twilit mountain]

You do but most builds are more than happy on like, 100%. You have nearly double that.

[junior oyster]

I'm more than happy to lose all this

[desert jasper]

I haven't planned a tree yet
I probably should

But I honestly haven't decided yet if I'll go self cast or spellslinger for the poison

[twilit mountain]

You can change one of your minion masteries, SRS deals 0 phys damage

[junior oyster]

Ah didn't realise that wouldn't work with the conversion

[twilit mountain]

Drop the Indomitable Army wheel as well imo, it's not very good when you're running a minion that is guaranteed to die on a timer

[twilit mountain]

The enemy isn't reducing any physical damage, so yeah

[junior oyster]

I did that for spectres tbf but ok

[twilit mountain]

Grab the 20% offering effect mastery as well, that thing is insane value

[junior oyster]

So for now my tree kinda looks like this https://pobb.in/OJmHZMm3I74U

I guess I don't need minions leech life mastery either?

[twilit mountain]

Unholy Might is basically pointless on SRS unless you really want to play poison pre-Covenant (I wouldn't)

[twilit mountain]

Oh no, keep that one

[junior oyster]

Pre-cov?

[twilit mountain]

Covenant is a body armor that applies level 27 added chaos damage to socketed skill gems. Yes it is as good as it sounds.

[junior oyster]

AH yea I remember that lol

That is an op armour

Anyway I was planning on taking commander first then mindless then bone barrier

Pre-cov I'll maybe take mistress of sacrifice?

[twilit mountain]

Oh sorry, it's level 29 not level 27

[twilit mountain]

Even with Cov take that. Mistress of Sacrifice is probably the most insane node in Necro

[junior oyster]

I had that tree burned into my memory from the last time I played poe1 xD

[twilit mountain]

You probably played before Unholy Might was changed

It used to be gain as extra chaos, not conversion

[junior oyster]

What would you suggest I drop after I get cov

I played I think in settlers?

Or was it tota

Can't remember

[twilit mountain]

Gods I hope it wasn't TOTA. What a shit league

[junior oyster]

I lost my AG to some idk what mob in tota lol

I was like what how why

I almost rage quit

Ok I'm 99% sure I played srs in tota

As settlers was gladiator iirc

Yea 100% lol

[desert jasper]

I really hate the idea that the 3rd ascendancy thing poe2 will be TOTA

[junior oyster]

It might be different but I still hate the idea of it

[twilit mountain]

Ah yup, that's pre Unholy Might change. Unholy Might is now turbo shit.

[junior oyster]

Damn good thing you told me lol

So I go offering instead

[twilit mountain]

The only source of Chaotic Might is a beyond shit unique ammy

[junior oyster]

Wait so the pre-nerf was a multiplier damage right?

[twilit mountain]

Yeah

[junior oyster]

And the nerf is basically just converting minion phys to chaos?

[twilit mountain]

It's a "rework" (nerf in 99.9% of situations)

[junior oyster]

Damn

Is there anything else I should avoid?

[twilit mountain]

Previously you gained 30% of phys as extra chaos. Very good. Now it is converts 100% of phys to chaos. Which kills it on like half the minions in the game because they already convert lol

[junior oyster]

I like commander early because it gives me a nice ele boost

You saved me a whole lotta trouble Deias xD

Thank you :D

I do wonder if maybe I should go essence glutton along with plaguebringer

And maybe drop mindless aggresion and bone barrier

Although I know barrier is strong ah

[twilit mountain]

Essence and Plague are generally good on things that use corpses to summon, SRS however does not pull aggro so having the phys DR from Barrier is pretty high value

[junior oyster]

Yea thought so

Ok I became greedy and added in some shield stats https://pobb.in/8iP_CdXV9rL1

If I have enough dex I can probably drop precision

[twilit mountain]

Precision is entirely useless now for minion builds 👍

Minions have 100% accuracy at all times with this coming update

[junior oyster]

Will I not need dex for gear/gems?

Yea I'm aware of minions always hit hence why I didn't take the accuracy node

[twilit mountain]

Probably no more than like 80 if I had to guess. Not exactly sure what that has to do with precision though

[junior oyster]

I'm thinking of removing these points too

My only issue with a selfmade tree (if it's even viable) is wth do I prioritise first? I'm guessing initially just grow out the tree and eventually start going minion nodes asap

[twilit mountain]

https://pobb.in/B3fOmMQ63KJo
Plenty of wiggle room for gearing and otherwise, shouldn't be terribly expensive, tons of open gem slots. Swap offering to Bone and swap Unnatural Strength to Mistress of Sacrifice if you need more defense.
Nowhere near min-maxed, left out all auras that weren't like 100% necessary

[junior oyster]

Damn you even built me skills I can't thank you enough lol

Any reason why shield nodes weren't included? Or is that something I can just add on later in endgame

[zealous snow]

Hey, I have a problem: I'm doing empowered monoliths, but in one timeline, the Echo of the World isn't appearing for me. Why?
**In other ones, I didn't have any issues and it appeared right away at the start of the monolith or at the end of the grid after doing a few echoes.

I can't raise corruption to 250+ because of this.

[sudden anchor]

Please use the #💬┃general

[zealous snow]

sorry sorry

[sudden anchor]

Np, this is the last time i was this forgiving. Next time ill contact the mods 🤣

[junior oyster]

I'll probably never manage to get a covenant but hopefully the cheaper alternative dendro drops early enough

[desert jasper]

You can ask here too
but you're more likely to get the answer in #💬┃general

[twilit mountain]

Smth to work on later, they take a while to be good and imo unless you're far into bottom left territory are no good outside of GB Aegis setups

[twilit mountain]

Dendro is mega easy to get, Covenant is usually like 3-5d for a 6L at the end of week 1

[sand wigeon]

That’s two Heist maps!

Egads!

[fierce moth]

house of cards is quite magical. Sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, sometimes relaxing. Grab my emotion so well.

Quite excellent and valuable, this artwork is so that I don't want to watch it all so fast, but I want to keep watching too

[twilit mountain]

https://pobb.in/HTuAgJwPxAYE
Do I hate myself enough....

[fierce moth]

🤔 you remind me of I don't learn how to use jewel well in poe yet

[twilit mountain]

Click mods that scale damage/def well. That's it.

[fierce moth]

I forget what large/medium/small cluster jewel do

[twilit mountain]

Read them.

[fierce moth]

not a big deal though, 1 socket available from passive tree only

4 sockets from passive tree in poe 2 as the contrast lol

[desert jasper]

Oh right
Bcs dst ended here the league starts at 9pm instead of 10pm
neat

Too bad my internet is bad these days so i probably can't actually play at launch

[twilit mountain]

It's okay, I have to start on Saturday

[desert jasper]

Yeah, you're doing your remembering ppl thing that's important for you
I can respect that

[twilit mountain]

I also got my new friend to come for the night o7

[desert jasper]

Sweet
Also gratz on a new friend

I've got a hospital visit on Friday afternoon
Gonna be a guinea pig for new tech

Tbh it's going to be kind of annoying, it's a 30day period

[twilit mountain]

Hopefully all goes well with that

[desert jasper]

Ty
It should be fine
just means that I'll actually need to use the needle to get blood sample to check blood lvls every time before eating, 2hours after eating and then before going to sleep

But I'm just glad to be of use

[twilit mountain]

Whoof. I could never. Needles petrify me.

[desert jasper]

Well
I already have to inject the insulin anyway
And the sample is just a drop of blood so I just push the pen to the finger and press it and it does a small hole for that purpose
So it's not like I see the needle and need to actively think about it

[sand wigeon]

It’s time for your three PM needle torture session

[fierce moth]

@junior stirrup good morning, remember to stay hydrated, what's up?

I hope your cookies are ready to enjoy in your worktime :)

[sand wigeon]

Why are you pinging devs

Trust me they have to deal with enough runtime errors

They don’t need to be pinged

[desert jasper]

Yeaah
Quite sure Zao is busy with work as is pretty mch everyone at GGG
Considering the league launches in 2 days

[sand wigeon]

Fr

[desert jasper]

Honestly I'm not even sure why ping people the moment they get online
i'd probably end up muting the person doing it

[twilit mountain]

Closest I do is I message the few people I'm like, personally close to when I wake up. That's it.

[desert jasper]

Yeah, that's a different thing

I mean I send messages to a friend of mine while he's sleeping
so when he wakes up he gets to go "wtf is this?"

[junior oyster]

I see thanks

So basically normally shield

Also bit of a dumb question but how would I farm these items if I were ssf?

[junior stirrup]

Didn't bake anything last night, but may try to port the new recipe to vegan butter tonight and see how it turns out.

[junior oyster]

I can't help but think vegan butter is margarine

I know margarine is vegetarian but not sure it's vegan

[twilit mountain]

Weapon: Convoking wand until you can farm Breach uniques from new mech
Belt and unique jewel: Lots of Abyss runs.
Body: Random rare drop, can try juicing exiles but might be rough
Ammy: Delving for thirty years

[junior oyster]

Ok so near impossible but doable

I won't do ssf but I just wanted to know the non trade way

[twilit mountain]

Not really near impossible, the belt is extremely common drop from liches and the ammy is a like 1 in 7 per amulet or smth

[junior oyster]

Yea but delve mechanic sucks imo

Need yellow stuff for blue stuff to progress further

[twilit mountain]

Fair enough. I personally really like delving lol

[junior oyster]

I love delve though

It's the tediousness of setting up that's a problem for me

[desert jasper]

Delving can be comfy, depending on your build (and dmg)

Used to do a lot of it
back in the day

[twilit mountain]

I just can't afford the builds at a time when I have motivation to make more characters lol

[junior oyster]

I stick to one usually unless current build is built really badly and I have to abandon ship

[twilit mountain]

I make multiple per league

[deft crest]

Ill start 😄

[mental talon]

https://x.com/pathofexile/status/1983673082922594759

Chicken wins this, easy

[fierce moth]

😂 Next week. I'm right
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/26422301

Alright this week is torturing

[fierce moth]

Because chicken have the buff from the developer, goblin don't. (Check out dev's profile)

[quaint forge]

Im waiting for those cookies! 😩 🥹 🤤

[quaint forge]

Too scary for me 🫣

[junior stirrup]

Gotta rate-limit cookies, lest we get too many round challengers.

[quaint forge]

Im happy to take them all

[fierce moth]

Zao grab a good hobby 👍

Drawing/create artworks is a thing both of stressful and relaxing for me

Sometimes it's a hobby, sometimes it's a job. Depends on the media.

Because...I still no sure do I want to work for games. It mean I must accept all game types

[muted parrot]

I hope this one does not disappoint me 😟

[blissful token]

But but NetEase

[muted parrot]

We will see 😬
Do you enjoy DNA?

[junior oyster]

Almost thought it was poe1 league times for a minute

10pm would have been pretty damn late

[blissful token]

I am progressing real slow but yes.. i already know which waifu i want and looking forward to get her.

And she's free from progressing story

[desert jasper]

Hmm launch twitch drops
the portal looks nice but not gonna pay 10e for it

[fierce moth]

Which game type you want to go?

Oh...Not right. But it's not a big deal

My logic jump to "which game types need concept artists".

It's a good question to be attached when I view pro's artworks

[tawny sand]

oh wow amazon is killing off new world, i thought that game was doing pretty well or something

[desert jasper]

"only" like 36k players last week

[lime flare]

Imm i was wondering should i play PoE 2 or PoE 1? ( i can't afford those curreny tabs for best exp)

[maiden widget]

poe1 is free, poe2 has a buy in

they're pretty different otherwise as well

[desert jasper]

Well poe2 is not yet free to play
poe1 is free but it has quite a lot of content that you need to learn
though you can just concentrate on few things instead of trying to absorb it all at once
But yeah, not being able to afford the currency tabs is kinda

And yea, the games are quite different

[blissful token]

Oof the server below 220k members now. Used to have slightly more than poe2's (255k)

[desert jasper]

Well
It has been a bit quiet for a while now
and I imagine the latest Krafton news got some people to leave too

[blissful token]

Oh is it? I havent visit #💬┃general often

[desert jasper]

Well
General is still somewhat active
but less so
but meant more like
no real patches, what we are working on etc

[blissful token]

I see

[desert jasper]

Also I'm honestly more surprised that the poe2 even has that many members
since it's not official and so on

[maiden widget]

I'm surprised the poe2 discord is that big to begin with unless you mean the poe1+2 one

[blissful token]

I mean.. i am more surprised LE got more member than poe1 + poe2 combined initially

Poe1 is such a big game, should have garnered more members already

[maiden widget]

Official Vs unofficial discords are a thing

[desert jasper]

Yeah, there's no official poe discord server

[fierce moth]

It have been reach 300k in March and April, 2024

[blissful token]

Ya i remember it exceeded 300k

[fierce moth]

228595 members here when Oct. 4th, 2025

Poe discord is solid, keep 255k for 6 months+

[blissful token]

Yea, i realized and what Faust said is true too

[fierce moth]

Why GGG just don't prove that's a official server

[desert jasper]

It's not run by GGG
or owned by GGG
Nothing to prove.

[fierce moth]

That's point. Why GGG don't own a discord server...

[desert jasper]

More things to moderate and put in resources
And so on

They also like the hands off approach
And poe community can be extremely volatile at times,they've had idiots sending death threats before

And since the community already has that large one?
Yeah

[maiden widget]

Because they never do what the community does for free

See filter editor in LE and none in poe

They also gave up the Reddit that they owned to the community

[desert jasper]

I think the reddit one was because of reddit rules
like the company can't run their own subreddit

Which is also why EHG doesn't run the LE subreddit

[maiden widget]

Ah didn't know that, thought it's mostly to keep one official channel open and the rest is community based

[desert jasper]

I mean
They still respond on reddit and read it

[maiden widget]

Way less work than actually moderating it though

[desert jasper]

Yeah

Also in general not their responsibility if someone does something illegal or not allowed

[fierce moth]

Oh I remember I asked similar question about why EHG don't run subreddit

[sudden anchor]

I wasnt finished reading, pls!

[fierce moth]

In addition to Sword x Staff, we can summarize a few points from other projects: First, there has always been user demand for MMOs, whether from new or existing users. Second, there is a growing emphasis on being "relaxed and not too burdensome," especially under the influence of diverse forms of entertainment today, such as short videos. Users are no longer as willing to invest excessive time and energy into experiencing products as they were before. These are some characteristics observed in overall user behavior, including the need for games to avoid excessive complexity and to lean toward a more relaxing direction.

Of course, it’s important to add: In any era, there are different types of users. Because the player base is very large, any scenario—such as hardcore, highly time-consuming MMOs—even if their market share shrinks and fewer such products can survive, will still have its target audience.

As for the MMO genre, we have always been optimistic about it. We were optimistic in the past, we are optimistic now, and we will remain optimistic for a considerable time in the future. We will continue to pursue it. MMOs fulfill the need for social interaction between people, and this demand has always existed, so MMOs will always have vitality. However, we need to make corresponding adjustments as the user landscape evolves.

watchu reading? #📚┃off-topic chat? becoming a folk here, are we?

[sudden anchor]

Yea, i was invested reading Kirras message and then it got deleted haha
At this point, i think ive read more text on discord than out of books in my life. Thoughts?

[fierce moth]

No interesting topics available in books you think

😂 ...
I want to search games about deep sea, deepseek tell me Subnautica. This name looks familiar. Then I add a number.

Well. Back to that.

[desert jasper]

Subnautica is the first one that comes to mind, yes.

[fierce moth]

I heard this game from discussion about le's announcement before but I don't know which game is it. Today I learnt this series again by deep sea

Quite interesting... Back to Krafton's games

[desert jasper]

Also the game Soma is also deep underwater
but it's more horror and you don't really see the underwater part all that much

[tawny sand]

subnautica is pretty spooky to me honestly

[desert jasper]

Anything under water is spooky to me

[fierce moth]

lol

[vagrant topaz]

Took me 5 tries to complete Bioshock intro (you know when you crash and you have to swin for 15 sec)

I was terrified at the idea of swimming there

[fierce moth]

Hi Vlad, just want to let you know I have the 1st French book hhhh

(I can't read French, I just want to check out plant illustrations inside)

This one ⬇️

I thought it's a English book but it's not lol

[vagrant topaz]

Lol

[fierce moth]

I own enough materals and inspirations for practicing how to draw plants now :)

[desert jasper]

Ah, don't get to be a guinea pig for the new tech quite yet
because they didn't actually get delivered to the hospital yet
What a promising start

Shame, really
I was kind of looking forward to it and had already planned my day around it tomorrow

[tawny sand]

idk if i want to get europa universalis 5 or not, comes out next week

[junior oyster]

If unsure wait for game to come out and checkout reviews

[tawny sand]

oh it's not so much i don't think i'll enjoy it, the minimum requirements are a amd 5600, and i have a 5600x so idk if it'll run well. They did say the minimum is for 60fps at 1080p, but with the pops and stuff now idk

only way to know is to try it out and refund it i guess if it doesn't run well

[junior oyster]

True but the game could be like civ 7

Hated by a lotta people

[tawny sand]

ah yeah suppose so

victoria 3 was that way and i liked victoria 3 a lot, it's even better now but a lot of people don't like it

[desert jasper]

Hmmh... "interesting" indie game festival on steam

[jade jackal]

I dont see it, is it on the home page?

[desert jasper]

No

it's nsfw so I imagine they don't wanna put that on home page

[jade jackal]

There's a game festival that appears nowhere?

lol

[desert jasper]

It can be found under news > sales
apparently started on tuesday already

Tbh I wouldn't even have noticed it if it wasn't linked to me

[jade jackal]

[fierce moth]

🤔 I guess EHG hired an art director successfully, recently

This title is disappeared from Bamboo now

i am chaotic smart

[junior oyster]

This one of those bookface 'tests'?

[blissful token]

bookface?

[junior oyster]

Facebook

[blissful token]

nope

social traits in Duet Night Abyss

[junior oyster]

I hate typing that word so I always mistype it

[blissful token]

ahh

i am just chaotic at this point

[junior oyster]

Another gacha

[blissful token]

actually

gachaless gacha

more like warframe

[junior oyster]

Another mobile anime game

[blissful token]

i guess you can still say that, i really wish they dont include mobile support and just make it full-fledge pc/console game

gotta roll 4 times to pass the check copium

[hot crown]

Some people wish the same for wuwa, because the sheer quality is already there.

They literally had to nerf themselves at least twice in the latest patch just so that mobile could actually handle it.

[blissful token]

yea, its good business cuz mobile have such a humongous outreach. Who wouldn't want that piece of cake. I just dont like the combat feel compromise because the game is made with mobile limitation in mind.

[fierce moth]

If one more letter on the circle panel, I think I'll guess Wicked playing a musical game

which I have played before. I mean game type

It's a game type which I think own a ipad will increase the experience a lot

[blissful token]

i think you mean those arcade rhythm games like maimai

[fierce moth]

yes, maybe

I recommend you give it a try if you have a pad

it's why. (that's a period that I think any games over US$4.99 are expensive)

Google play don't support Chinese Visa cards and gift cards to pay games now, so they become part of my history

[sudden anchor]

La Pègre animale was such a funny animal documentation, poking fun at everyone!
I wasnt expecting to laugh that much.

[distant mica]

@south gust managed to record via gamebar

even after uber is dead

[south gust]

Ok... yeah. that's a bug potentially with your other party member. What are they doing when this happens?

Either way, both of you should submit an IGBR (F8) and be as detailed as possible

[distant mica]

they are a bear build like me, so not sure what they are doing

done a report but thank you for taking time to watch the videos 😄 Much appreicated

[south gust]

yeah. No problem! It looks like you may have done the fight several times and the game isn't completely unloading the fight and it's confusing itself.

[distant mica]

the video above was our 4th fight but it happened ever since like 1st/2nd fight

so could possibly be what u stated 😄

[fierce moth]

do the desktop discord is the reason that maybe cause my pc frozen, black screen then go back to normal?

🤔 I'm confused why this problem is occur frequently

[fierce moth]

The new feature is quite lovely, btw.

[junior oyster]

I never look at any of it

[fierce moth]

I hate being kept in the dark. Waiting. Speculating. Useless.

Precisely.

[fierce moth]

well... Let me show something.

I save them in a file.

[junior oyster]

Just look at my profile

I could not give a damn

[fierce moth]

🤔 Oh. It let me feel more jealous

🤭 The idea of decroate my profile can be tracked since 2010, I was a child

That idea never go until I wasted my money on that for 2 years and I'm not interested in using QQ anymore

The life... Something must be experienced; otherwise, I will think that all the time

[twilit mountain]

Ow

[junior oyster]

Well at least now you know who is my least fav in StS xD

[fierce moth]

Why Deias and Hallow have their boards but it still don't allow me to use :(

[junior oyster]

Do you have nitro?

Also not sure what you mean regarding boards tbf

But my guess is you don't have nitro

[fierce moth]

⬆️ ✅

House of cards just too attracting.

[quaint forge]

you mean the game collection board on discord?

[fierce moth]

yes

[quaint forge]

I have one but I dont have nitro

[fierce moth]

You have one, so it's not nitro-exclusive

[quaint forge]

yeah 🫣

[fierce moth]

Good morning, do you have a habit that morning coffee daily?

[junior oyster]

Did you check this?

[junior oyster]

Main profile?

[quaint forge]

Nah I dont drink coffee to much as the caffine has no effect on me

[twilit mountain]

It's a roll out thing, some folks get it sooner than others

[junior oyster]

Ah I see

Also double check if you have the latest updates

[quaint forge]

Looks like this

[junior oyster]

Ctrl + R to apply update

[fierce moth]

It's quite cool. You're free to enjoy chocolate or matcha in anytime!!!

[quaint forge]

I need to diet too 🥲 its comming up to summer here

[fierce moth]

No worries... Summer here all year

I still wearing T-shirt and short pants now

I want winter

[quaint forge]

Winter in Nz is yuck! Unless its snowing

[fierce moth]

Never see snow :(

[twilit mountain]

I live in Maine, do not talk to me about winter xdd

[quaint forge]

Just had to google lol! Looks pretty cold

Annoying thing about winter in NZ is its cold windy and 90% humidity so it wont kill you but its just yuck

[sand wigeon]

I was born here. Made by the cold. Undone by the cold. Made again, into something better. And colder.

[hot crown]

So Mr. Freeze? 🫥

[quaint forge]

Gif dont work here?

[junior oyster]

Nope

[quaint forge]

😭

[junior oyster]

You can send images though

[quaint forge]

thats 90% of how i communicate

[junior oyster]

Or screenshot rather

[neon sigil]

Send a gif as a series of images

[quaint forge]

Stand by

[junior stirrup]

Thankfully there's a solution to that problem 😉

[quaint forge]

Dont worry about cookies today! Im full from the donuts

[junior stirrup]

Heh. I made a batch of vegan-friendly ones last night that I think turned out well, saving them for afternoon coffee.

[quaint forge]

ahk ill come try them

[junior stirrup]

Starting to get some good speedrun splits on this recipe now, having made it like three times this week 😄

[desert jasper]

Sounds like a good time

Oh
Kinetic rain no longer looks like it is worth playing
nvm I'm not playing that

[twilit mountain]

The transfigured version seems good still

The normal one got put in the dirt

[desert jasper]

The transfigured doesn't leave the things on ground so i imagine if it didn't have better numbers it would just be unusable

[twilit mountain]

Fair enough. I doubt people will really make good use of them, it's like traps/mines but with worse targeting.

I'm on my idiot arc

[sand wigeon]

why do that to yourself lol

[fierce moth]

Quite useful

I discovered mobile discord don't support that yet

[twilit mountain]

CHoT got another like 100% ADE xdd

[fierce moth]

...?????

How long supported skills have increased curse duration exactly... 😅

[fierce moth]

Such a pity that Peter Russo quite the selection in this way...He's sober again :(

I saw a lot similar features from this character. I hope this character will not down at last

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwbKPiZmvIE

[blissful token]

Heh heh pretty accurate 😛

[fierce moth]

...I find my whisk back suddenly

Complicated feelings.

[warped wren]

it's meant to nerf Coiling Whisper

[fierce moth]

No skill in poe call that 🤔

[warped wren]

Coiling Whisper is an item

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Coiling_Whisper

it was ungodly powerful for.. well, basically ANY build that could slot in at least a 3-link if not a 4-link with Bladefall of Trarthus + Hextouch + curse of choice (+ Less Duration optional), giving up to +225% attack and cast speed

[junior stirrup]

"Whisk you were here".

[desert jasper]

Are you feeling nervous for the launch?

[junior stirrup]

Not really, I don't have anything in it. Usual background hopes that the engine and servers hold up and all that.

[desert jasper]

Fair enough

Tbh I kinda wish it was a bit earlier than 9pm my time
but I guess I'll just sleep early and then play in the morning

[vagrant topaz]

What is the difference between Attack Dmg and Effectiveness of Added Dmg ?
Attack Dmg looks at the weapons only and the other one at the other sources of Added Dmg like Ring , gloves etc ??

[fierce moth]

Peter want to get arrest by drunk driving. Good boy...

He decide to start his life from zero again, at least.

[desert jasper]

yes

[fierce moth]

What? No. No...NOOOO

The story always out of my expectation

[desert jasper]

Alright
What to do while waiting for the league start and my earlier plans for the day are gone

[fierce moth]

She could put a crack addict to sleep.

hhhhhhhhhh Sometime I will, too

Especially...In interviews, yes.

Damn watched back the scene, fun is flood in the air, in every second being quiet.

[desert jasper]

Now that is a special skill

[fierce moth]

ah? hhhhh ah?...

I never think it can count as a skill... hhhhhh 😅

[blissful token]

If you can sell umbrella in the desert. Thats a skill too

[desert jasper]

It's because people can't actually sleep while under that thing

[blissful token]

Russian sleep experiment hmm

[fierce moth]

lol I don't expect I can hear an American say Chinese in an American tv series...

[desert jasper]

Hmm
Do I make a tree for my poison starter already or do I just wing it when I start 🤔

[desert jasper]

Tbh I should probably just look at someone else's tree and use that

[blissful token]

Hmm Japan rejected Nintendo patent saying monster capture and riding concepts were already there before they patent it in 2021

Now what is US patent doing?

[desert jasper]

Who knows
I'm glad that got rejected tbh

It's too generic
Even WoW has that mechanic

well, not the riding part but capturing + making them battle

... Do I go self cast or spellslinger for this poison stuff

[fierce moth]

🤔 I'm surprised less than 30k members in lies of p discord. I thought that's one of famous soul-like games

I viewed a post which post by their Chinese CM 2h ago. It's a fan art event (post anything art relevant to this game with a special tag)

Yes it's confusing. This game studio isn't a new one which poor players knows them

Oh I see something fresh about how CM do some community contribution :)

https://luma.com/lcpt689b
it even hold a meet up...lol that must very exciting

[mental talon]

Sorry was asleep but yeah pretty much local mods to the weapon vs added outside source like flat on rings, amulet, jewels etc

[fierce moth]

A white cat grow on my bed suddenly hhhhhh

she's quite sleepy

[mental talon]

This is a pretty neat helpful little application to filterblade tbh

https://youtu.be/C7OnF3-QO4I?si=s_yp-5Hy2zezRyQC

[junior oyster]

Too long of a video

I'm kidding

[vagrant topaz]

Thx for the answer ❤️
By the way do you know where I can check where that gem is available?

[junior oyster]

poe.db?

[mental talon]

Uhhh that one is a base gem that should be available on the Ranger start guaranteed or if you do Act 3 Library/Act 5 Lily quest at a minimum

The Transfigured Gems are from Divine Font only/Divination cards and Trarthan gems are from Heist

[vagrant topaz]

Thx

[vagrant topaz]

I might be blind or dumb but it doesn't show there

[junior oyster]

Yea I just checked and didn't see it either

Thought it was a new gem but idk

[vagrant topaz]

It is a new gem

[mental talon]

One of the posts talks about where to get the new gems I know that it's a starter/act 2/3 gem for Ranger can't remember what other classes

But at a minimum for off classes it should be Library in Act 3 and guarantee from Lily in Act 5

[junior oyster]

Didn't srs used to have some extra variants?

[vagrant topaz]

I didn't follow thoroughly, but yeah Library

[junior oyster]

Oh wait

[mental talon]

As at a minimum Lily in Act 5 has all gems assuming it isn't available at Library for your class

[junior oyster]

It was one of those boss drops but they removed that

[junior oyster]

Good to know. I always thought it was act 6 where we get access to all gems

Though I just need to start with srs which is literally start of a1

Btw do I still need to setup manual filters or does auto-adjust count as its own filter?

Like having a very strict/uber strict filter in endgame

[fierce moth]

@neon sigil I tried to digust the knowledge I learnt from the ambient occlusion guide you recommended by painting flowers, it's the 1st one.

It improve the aesthetic a lot exactly. I just adjusting my colours consistently and paint 3 colours at least on light part and shadow part so petals look blended instead of boring.

I have tried... 8 types of purple on this flower lol

I need to learn 16 types of flowers if I want to complete this painting. A giant challenge but fun to play

[hot crown]

That's what it's supposed to be all about. Having fun.

[south gust]

@twilit mountain

[twilit mountain]

Oh hell yeah. I know exactly what you're up to, father and I made a couple sets as Halloween costumes probably about 12 years ago now.

[fierce moth]

do you know which theme Wick's masks are relevant to? I guess it's inspired by a movie

[desert jasper]

Mandalorian

[twilit mountain]

Yup. It's Mandalorian armor, Star Wars stuff if you're not exposed/versed in it at all. You don't really see any proper ones in the movies though, just the Fetts and neither of them are really Mandalorians they just have the armor.
There is however an entire TV series about Mandalorians now, and they show up a decent bit in books and comics (though I believe these are all technically non-canon now)

[desert jasper]

Just realized that voice call was the first words I've spoken in like.. 2? days

[twilit mountain]

I've been speaking more over the past couple weeks than I do in a month

[junior oyster]

What voice call

[desert jasper]

Wick was showing off what halloween costume he's painting

[fierce moth]

I'm listening and trying to understand what are they talking about

The voice let me feel everyone is good at speaking English here except me

[twilit mountain]

I'm pretty sure most of the folks there have been speaking English for many years now

[junior oyster]

Honestly thinking of swapping into this at some point

[maiden widget]

It's dope of you are spectre or phantasms

[desert jasper]

I guess it could help you keep up your srs up if you didn't go unleash

[junior oyster]

F U stupid gov

[fierce moth]

The patch of poe available on steam but not available in standalone yet

Alright announcement is out at the same time

I'm going to join a game party tomorrow, on the afternoon, so I can not catch up the first day so much

[desert jasper]

Hmm
Neat, it should take only an hour to download the patch for me

[junior oyster]

Took like 3 mins for me

[fierce moth]

Oh good but I can't play too much until tomorrow's night

[junior oyster]

Might be for the best

Even if you download it now chances are you might be stuck in queue for a while

[desert jasper]

Yeaa I don't have that good internet these days
But at least it's free

[junior oyster]

Nice

I'd rather free net where possible xD

Especially with most games being offline

[twilit mountain]

Queue usually empties entirely in like an hour, most folks actively in queue are in game in under 20 minutes.

[junior oyster]

Yea but it's kind of late for her

Had no idea people stream themselves for their job lol https://www.twitch.tv/deliverthefood

[vagrant topaz]

I saw a yt stream in a factory line, just assembling stuff

[fierce moth]

I feel more lonely when a festival is living because no one available to hang out together usually. Another people have family stuff or just a few friends to chill, I have nothing but my pigments lol

Rare to see Wick is hyped in community for 2h

[mental talon]

Oh baby

I'm ready

[desert jasper]

I'm not ready

[junior oyster]

Same

[desert jasper]

It hasn't even finished downloading yet

[fierce moth]

I'm done both of downloading and season 1 of house of cards.

🤔 I don't understand the ending of season 1...

ah. I hope next week coming faster.

[mental talon]

https://poedb.tw/us/Keepers_items

Im in go go go

[desert jasper]

The challenges don't look too bad this time

[junior oyster]

Not sure I can craft on this for minion stuff

But covening wand is better anyway I think

[maiden widget]

you need the minion wand to roll minion stuff

[junior oyster]

Yea covening or something like that

Convoking wand

[twilit mountain]

Enjoy league start y'all!

@mental talon selfish request but if you manage to find a Mindspiral I'd love if you could hold it for me for a while

[junior oyster]

Been stuck on this for aggges

[desert jasper]

I'll keep that in mind too

[twilit mountain]

'Preciate it, Nub!

[desert jasper]

It doesn't take effort on my part

[mental talon]

Yeah sure I got you

[junior oyster]

I'd do the same but I'm probably unlikely to get it

[vagrant topaz]

46k ahead of me

oof

[desert jasper]

rip
Well

it shouldn't take that long

[desert jasper]

And yea the servers aren't open yet

[fierce moth]

I can't speak anything faster, it's the biggest trouble

[junior oyster]

Even I can't say that sentence quick

[distant mica]

great try :D, im english and i cant even do that so ur doing way better than me 😄

[junior oyster]

It's a tongue twister

[fierce moth]

Well chat with native speakers need both of listening and speaking on the level. lol I don't know which topics are they talking about usually so I can't speak anything

[placid yarrow]

Ahhhh that's what you were doing. You didn't mute yourself on discord when you did it

Not bad btw

[fierce moth]

....I thought it's live

[junior oyster]

23 mins

[fierce moth]

Alright... I should take a shower then watch house of cards for a while

[fierce moth]

I don't join the voice while I trying so it's fine

[placid yarrow]

No you were in lul. You can see it in your video in the bottom left

[fierce moth]

Hah? I'm confused. Why another people still can hear though I don't in a voice channel if I don't mute the mic?

[placid yarrow]

Idk to us it showed you still in the channel

[fierce moth]

emmm...

[junior oyster]

You most likely only muted others but not your mic

[placid yarrow]

Not a big deal, just funny. I was so confused at the time but this explains it

[fierce moth]

😅 Alright. All of us who joined the voice channel tonight exposed our voice. Fair.

[placid yarrow]

Next time you can talk with us intentionally

[junior oyster]

I wasn't in but you showed it in the post you posted above

[abstract karma]

another PoE 1 before us..

[fierce moth]

I deleted that just now hhh :)

[abstract karma]

welp time to shower

[fierce moth]

the quene is moving

[ebon meadow]

It's two hours earlier for me that usual . Can't even get on for another hour at least

[abstract karma]

do you live in country with two times changes ? winter / spring ?

[ebon meadow]

Yea

[abstract karma]

then its only one hour not two i think

[ebon meadow]

It's was one hour forward but the league is two hours earlier

Idk why maybe NZ has another time change

[abstract karma]

or was last league one hour later ?

[ebon meadow]

Two hours

[abstract karma]

from mine poin of timezíone last league was 21pm, today is 20pm

[ebon meadow]

Usually summer time it's at 10 pm this one is at 8

[fierce moth]

I still waiting

[abstract karma]

its going fast

[ebon meadow]

Weird might be because a Grinwitch is like a kilometer away

[maiden widget]

nz dst ended end of september, europes ended last weekend so theres some weird overlapping for a month or two

[ebon meadow]

Yea I m actually confused why it's two hour's instead of one

[twilit mountain]

Aight I have time to kill and have had it sanctioned by roomie and friend, guess I'm loggin in xdd

[fierce moth]

Another drama moment with damn mermaids in the cave

[ebon meadow]

Time u get a tabula from merveil

[distant mica]

@placid yarrow this was me recording it my end when I was questioning about that weird beam without the fight starting

[placid yarrow]

ah yeah I saw that yesterday

[distant mica]

Yeah 😄

[desert jasper]

Guess I should go & get some sleep
Did the first lab already
Think I've never been this overlvld for the first lab

[mental talon]

Act 10 6 link

This tree stuff is great
