[gilded elm]

Ah, nice

Camping would be so cool there

[sand wigeon]

It’s not

Well

Okay it’s beautiful and relaxing and stuff

[sudden anchor]

I think we’re talking past each other.
I’m not denying gender dysphoria, nor making claims about the biological origins of being transgender. My point is about language and categorization: feelings themselves aren’t intrinsically gendered.
Wether dysphoria has biological correlates doesn’t address the question of wether inner experiences need gender labels at all. Those are two separate discussions.

[sand wigeon]

It’s also prohibitively expensive

[gilded elm]

Is that lake or ocean in the mountain pic?

[sand wigeon]

Lake

[gilded elm]

Camping nearby and fishing honestly sounds good

[sand wigeon]

k

[sand wigeon]

Fishing is nice! Some areas are protected but as with all things Maine, the more north you go the less restrictions

Since there’s so few people and such

Good luck getting there though

[gilded elm]

What are the Canadian borders like? I see you guys got Montreal and New Brunswick, can you just kinda walk through hassle-free?

Honestly if I lived in Maine I might want to visit Nova Scotia at least once.

[sand wigeon]

Also Acadia

[sand wigeon]

You could theoretically walk through

Good luck getting there though

It’s a hundred miles of mountainous, uninhabited forest between any civilization and the borders

And then further to get to Canadian civilization

[jade jackal]

Sounds good to me

[sand wigeon]

There are roads to the border though, which has the usual measures

You can just drive there

[gilded elm]

Really? Just a bunch of empty road to civilization between borders?

[sand wigeon]

…No

There’s no roads

[gilded elm]

No roads at all?

wth

[sand wigeon]

In the Maine wilderness? Not really

[gilded elm]

Where does most Canadian tourism come from then?

[sand wigeon]

They drive along the main roads

Which have the border protection

Or fly in

[gilded elm]

Sounds inconvenient. Kinda imagined it was a bit more like California / Mexico border which I'm familiar with, having lived in Southern California for years.

[sand wigeon]

Not at all

[gilded elm]

But makes sense I guess. California is a desert.

Lots of open land

[sand wigeon]

It’s still an 8 hour drive to the most touristed city in Maine

[gilded elm]

Getting lost in Maine wilderness actually sounds terrifying.

[sand wigeon]

If you’re coming from the northwest side you go down 201 through Jackman and take the road south to Portland

[gilded elm]

Ah, basically can't just cut through, there aren't any direct paths because there's just too much dense wilderness.

[sand wigeon]

https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Trail-Nine-Alone-Wilderness/dp/0892729457

I have a signed copy of this book

Great graphic novel memoir

There’s a written version too

[gilded elm]

Damn, yeah I imagine this kind of thing can easily happen if you get too deep into the wilderness, have no means of communication and every direction is 100+ miles of forest.

[sand wigeon]

It doesn’t happen, really

How are you getting that deep in the first place?

The only place it can really happen is Mount Katahdin, which has accessible roads, trails and is deep in the wilderness

Which is coincidentally also the tale that book is about, getting lost at Mount Katahdin

But generally rangers and education do a good job of preventing it

[gilded elm]

If you had a choice, would you want to live in another state?

[sand wigeon]

Nah

Not really

Maybe Canada, but not another American state

(Everything above the highlighted road is fairly uninhabited, to varying degrees, and the yellow highlight is Baxter Park and the Mount Katahdin area)

[gilded elm]

Seeing a distinct lack of paths lol

Doesn't sound pleasant to get lost there

[sand wigeon]

I can imagine it’s not lol

Probably still better than getting lost off the coast though

[junior oyster]

Certain someone's dream for Canada to become another US state 😭

[twilit mountain]

Nobody sane wants that at least

[desert jasper]

Hollow Palm hitting quite hard right away 🤔
harder than I expected, really

[twilit mountain]

Yeah it's solid just has a ceiling to it earlier than other builds (obviously the investment for other things is going to be rarher extreme to reach their ceiling)

[gilded elm]

I never played RuneScape, trying out Dragonwilds. This is the hat from the original game that's supposedly very rare/expensive, right? lol

[desert jasper]

I imagine if you also get unlucky with getting skill gems (and it's your starter) it might be rough time

[gilded elm]

I'm just out here trying to mind my business... see a cute thing which I don't attack because it's cute. Should've trusted my murderous instinct.

[desert jasper]

Alright, sweet
laudnry done so now I can actually concentrate on playing

[fierce moth]

play poe 2?

[twilit mountain]

Yeah. They were from an event ages ago iirc, so very limited supply. Worth billions of gold I think?

[gilded elm]

I assume that's like tens of thousands or thousands of dollars in real money value lol

What is this lighting, feels a bit excessive. Is it bloom?

[sand wigeon]

I mean

The only way to buy gold for real money is RMT black market

Aside from buying premium tokens to then sell for gold but I’m not sure that necessarily counts

[jade jackal]

oh i totally forgot that RS game was coming out

[desert jasper]

yes

[gilded elm]

Yeah, didn't mean like actual trade value, more of just what the perceived value is. Thought it was interesting something so ridiculous looking is so valuable lol

Also yeah I think it was the bloom setting. That was really over the top.

[fierce moth]

let me see did I sell anything when I'm offline...

Got 2 orbs of annulment

28e lol

[gilded elm]

That's not good, wonder what causes this visual with the lightning/fog.

Probably typical UE5 Lumen things. Apparently people are fixing these issues by just editing the UE5 config file.

[jade jackal]

im confused

i see that this game came out in April

[gilded elm]

What game?

[jade jackal]

This Runescape thing

[gilded elm]

Oh Dragonwilds? Yeah, probably

Early access, I think

[jade jackal]

Did it just hit some sort of a development milestone?

[gilded elm]

I think it released into early access to a Mixed reception and has gotten improvements since then.

Were you expecting it to not be released? lol

It's been out long enough I think it's even 30% off in the current winter sale

[jade jackal]

Id love some sort of an open world crafting multiplayer game with some RPG elements

never checked this game out

[gilded elm]

There's this one and also of course there's Enshrouded, which is a big one

[jade jackal]

Is Enshrouded P2P connected or are there public servers?

[gilded elm]

I think Enshrouded can be P2P if you just connect to a friend's world maybe? But it does run on a server which can be hosted

[fierce moth]

:(
I never can enter Atziri's chamber

[gilded elm]

There's parrying, that's cool. Timing is a bit difficult though.

[desert jasper]

It needs to be an actual path tile you place before her...

[jade jackal]

idk why, but im instantly getting Palworld association by this

[gilded elm]

Really? I played a lot of Palworld and this hasn't given me any Palworld vibes so far.

[fierce moth]

Yes, I don't see any path tiles for a while

[fierce moth]

I never imagine perfect exalted orb is cheap in this level

29e per perfect exalted orb only

[desert jasper]

Almost done with act2 with the monk
but need a break now
Get some fresh air, maybe prepare some food

the usual

[fierce moth]

is it valuable enough to sell

people who sell that with 1d or more are insane

[junior oyster]

Those that said for 1d what are the specs on them?

[fierce moth]

well, get a path tile but still can't connect to Atziri's room yet

[gilded elm]

I died and was making my way back... didn't expect the weather to also try and kill me lol

[desert jasper]

ofc you can't
you don't have path tiles leading to it...

[jade jackal]

oh this is evil lol

[desert jasper]

Like you need to be able to connect the tile room to something in the first place
You can't just place one in the middle of nowhere like it currently is

[fierce moth]

such a pity...

[junior oyster]

I'll be honest I probably wouldn't even attempt that lol

[twilit mountain]

It's deadass one of the easiest maps in the game

[gilded elm]

Excuse me? I'm trying to build... so rude.

[gilded elm]

This game man, lmao

[junior oyster]

The bosses probably the scariest part for me though

[fierce moth]

Holy god, allow me to memorize that. The 1st dark domain

8/8, maximum abyssal's passive tree finally

[jade jackal]

im ok with a mechanic that makes you stay inside

if there are activities for "inside"

This is what makes survival work in Minecraft

[gilded elm]

Progression is just "doing" so you could just craft inside and progress that I guess lol

[junior oyster]

Too bad it don't work in Terraria lol

Staying inside doesn't necessarily keep you out of danger

Not sure about minecraft though

I played like 10 minutes of it before getting bored

[jade jackal]

Minecraft is what you make of it, but essentially the core vanilla experience is that the clock dictates some of your activity difficulty

[twilit mountain]

Modded is where it shines imho. Vanilla is whatever, but what modders have done with that game is something else entirely.

[junior oyster]

I just can't find it in me to even like minecraft. Obv I'm not an idiot and aware just how popular it is but it's just not a game for me.

[gilded elm]

I'm really looking forward to Hytale.

[twilit mountain]

I mean, that's fine too. I get it. I can't tell you how many extremely well loved games I can't enjoy for even a moment.

[junior oyster]

Yea I'm not going to hate on a game I barely played or in some cases never played

Unless there is some genuine controversy or something lol

Even then I'll try to steer away from discussing it

[desert jasper]

Man, why are the poison crypts so large

[twilit mountain]

GTA, Fallout except 76 somehow I like that one, the entire Elder Scrolls series barring ESO, GoW, Last of Us, Red Dead, the entire genre of Souls-likes, every CRPG on the planet, you get the idea.

[junior oyster]

Damn

I'm like that but with mmos/shooters/puzzle games

Or extremely hard games

Crosscode is a great game storywise but I hate it for the puzzles lol

[twilit mountain]

Hades is a big one that I personally cannot enjoy for the life of me. I can recognize it's good. It just doesn't hit on my end, I don't know why.

[junior oyster]

I had to look up guides for practically all puzzles and play the game in slow mode

[junior oyster]

Hades, uhh that one with the flame head guy and similar side scrollers and even those 3d ones like RoR2 for me

Storywise I love Hades

Gameplay wise is a big ol nope from me

If it wasn't roguelike I might have enjoyed Hades more

[twilit mountain]

Second one is Dead Cells if I'm understanding you

[junior oyster]

Yea

[twilit mountain]

Dead Cells is pretty good, its failings are actually the late bosses. They're really poorly designed imo

[junior oyster]

It's the roguelike aspect I really dislike

[twilit mountain]

Valid

I like roguelikes but not all of them

[junior oyster]

But on the other hand turn based roguelikes are something I'm either ok with or absolutely love like Slay the Spire

[twilit mountain]

My favorite is unironically Risk of Rain Returns

[junior oyster]

Yea fair

I'm kinda surprised you don't like gta though

Do you not like any GTA?

Like I grew up on GTA 1, 2, 3, VC and San Andreas so I guess I can't really hate gta

Aside from gta 4

Ughhh Niko's cousin always drove me nuts

[twilit mountain]

None of em. I've played 3, VC, San Andreas, 4, and 5

[warped wren]

GTA never really appealed to me either

don't get the hype behind the series lol

[junior oyster]

I'll be real

GTA 6 is the first gta game I'm not hyped for

[twilit mountain]

Peak

[warped wren]

oh really? how come

[warped wren]

🤑

big money

[junior oyster]

Idk it just feels like they will focus on the MP side of it

[twilit mountain]

Yes I know my filter is cluttered. I broke it last week. I'm too lazy to fix it.

[junior oyster]

I got nothing against that but they cancelled a gta 5 dlc for online

I ain't forgiving R* for that

[twilit mountain]

I'm just that good /s

I should probably go get last ascend

Also I choked on my meds

[twilit mountain]

First floor done, two shot rattle-whatever 👍

[fierce moth]

Bored at playing poe 2 again. Another break.

[twilit mountain]

Floor three has been two tapped as well lol

[warped wren]

Let's see if I can fit a Tecrod Undying Hate in the build

[fierce moth]

My temple just never can reach Atziri's room. I'm quite upset

[twilit mountain]

Aight lets see if I can two tap Zarokh

Three tap apparently

Hey, that's some money

And a bit more to boot

[fierce moth]

The same case on loot-base ARPG. I can enjoy them for a while, but I never can good at one of them

Have been quit puzzle games because of the same reason

[twilit mountain]

I think part of it is you have a tendency to box yourself in, Kirra. Instead of branching out and trying to find new things to play you just played the exact same build for what, 3? 4? leagues in a row?

[junior oyster]

It also doesn't help that Kirra tends to buy overly expensive items

And making 6mods when she may not be able to handle it

[twilit mountain]

Yeeeeah

[junior oyster]

At least be like me if you don't enjoy the league (or game) just quit

[warped wren]

"Good" is subjective in this genre, and you seem to be biting off far more than you can chew and comparing yourself to people with far more experience and time than you

Also the rest of what Deias said

[twilit mountain]

I understand having a favorite archetype. I have one. I don't play it because for years now it has been garbage. Instead of beating my head into a wall trying to make it work, I just found new things to enjoy.

[warped wren]

Rip mines

[twilit mountain]

Mark I'm begging you, just because zDPS bossers use traps doesn't mean they're in an okay spot, please give them some love, please

[junior oyster]

It's ok Jonathan will be there to stop him

[twilit mountain]

I believe Mark has more sway in 1 than Jonathan due to him being the dedicated director, no?

[junior oyster]

Honestly I have no idea

I just meant it as a meme

[twilit mountain]

Fair. Company be weird

[desert jasper]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[gilded elm]

Still a long way to go on Soulstone Survivors

[jade jackal]

i wanna do all 448 achievements, and have about 20 left

its all properly organized in the game, and i appreciate it

[jade jackal]

Chaos Volley goes wooosh

[fierce moth]

I think @neon sigil you're the only person who maybe can answer that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJitss58XKc
I'm confused about should I consider value or consider colours at first if I plan a new acrylic painting after watched this video. How are you decide this step in your artworks?

[gilded elm]

Is that from a legendary weapon? lol

[jade jackal]

It is an artifact skill, but I believe its a regular weapon

This is also a killer passive for random projectile builds

granted, not sure how useful it is here

[gilded elm]

Yeah I got that one, handy

[jade jackal]

The nature of this skill is quite volatile

it can aim at trash and not bosses

the reward is that when it goes to bosses it blasts tremendous amounts of projectiles at them

Its easy to get to 20 projectiles per second

per cast, no multicast included

So 60-100 per second with it

[twilit mountain]

Update: I can hit map bosses for over 3mil

[fierce moth]

lol I encounter a new project by Krafton?

[twilit mountain]

Calisto Protocol is pretty alright afaik

[desert jasper]

unethical
check her pc

[twilit mountain]

I'm sorrryyyyyy, shields are good :<

[fierce moth]

🤔 .

[twilit mountain]

The afaik is doing some heavy lifting; I'm not a horror gamer

[fierce moth]

lol remind me of I gave up layers of fear 2 because time-restricted catch-up (I'm bad at racing)

[desert jasper]

afaik meaning "as far as I know"

[desert jasper]

I actually found a pretty good shield the other day

[twilit mountain]

That's a great defense shield

I'm in the special hell that is "I need all of the armor on mine" lol

[desert jasper]

kek

Yeah that's some armor indeed

[twilit mountain]

And yet I only have 15k armor total

[gilded elm]

Man I really hope Warhammer Survivors is Q1
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3669620/Warhammer_Survivors/

They got Poncle to license them the Vampire Survivors engine for this, should be pretty cool

[desert jasper]

Hmm
What was the glove that works well with unarmed attacks again?

[twilit mountain]

I made an impulse purchase last night and grabbed Sulfur because it was cheap, I plan to get to that later today xdd

[twilit mountain]

Thunderfist?

[desert jasper]

yee that's it

Was just wondering if I should get that

[gilded elm]

I've mostly learned my lesson about impulse purchasing FPS games (I don't play them much)

[desert jasper]

but it's actually pretty far away

[twilit mountain]

I don't remember fully what they do off the top of my head, I jsut know they have unarmed crit

[twilit mountain]

I'd been watching its development for like a year but holding back because I didn't have money regularly. Was able to get it for $10 so I said screw it, probably won't be that low for a good while

[gilded elm]

Yeah looks cool, I like the art

[twilit mountain]

That's what drew me in originally yea, it's super unique for the style of game

[gilded elm]

Yeah was thinking that, didn't really wanna say it because I don't have much experience with shooters, but definitely don't think you see this kind of art in a first person shooter perspective.

[desert jasper]

What did he mean by this? 🤔

Oh, right
I beat him like 20 times in row with the bleed lass

[gilded elm]

I'm not artistically inclined... trying to put my finger on this style. It's like cartoony, but without shading? So everything looks kind of flat.

[twilit mountain]

You could say I like them.

[desert jasper]

Sweet, got the chaos stuff done on first attempt

[twilit mountain]

One banged Kulemak

[desert jasper]

oh my

Tbh I've never had good drop from kulemak

[twilit mountain]

It's REALLY rare tbh

[desert jasper]

Honestly, I guess that's understandable
considering how good some of the drops are

Like

[twilit mountain]

Yeah that's crazy

[warped wren]

Bruh

Wtf

[desert jasper]

and I got that for 8 div

[warped wren]

Also that doesn't drop from Kulemak

It drops from abyss reincarnated rogue exiles

[desert jasper]

wait, where does it drop from?

Oh

[warped wren]

Obscure interaction

[desert jasper]

that's nasty

[warped wren]

Ya

I specced into rogues to try and get one myself

Cba paying 15d+ for a double gained as extra

[twilit mountain]

That's

Stupid

lol

What an asinine way to acquire it

[desert jasper]

Honestly
I'm not even surprised at this point

[warped wren]

Been how it is since abyss was introduced

Idk, GGG and their desire for bullcrap interactions

Nothing makes me madder than the Omens of Light and Abyssal Echoes thing

That's the dumbest thing there is

[twilit mountain]

What you don't want your omens locked behind a mob you can barely see and having to try and bait it out of a cloud that covers your whole-ass screen in a game where you one shot the entire pack or die?

[warped wren]

Correct, I don't, and no sane person should

I was legit angry for a full 30 mins when I found out about it ngl

[twilit mountain]

That's not getting into how said cloud shuts down all forms of sustain for literally no reason

[desert jasper]

I kinda hate how they removed Walker of the Winds keystone
and made it a lineage support instead

[twilit mountain]

Which one's that

[desert jasper]

mana leech recovers based on ele dmg instead of phys

[twilit mountain]

Ah

Yeah

[desert jasper]

Ofc I get why they did it
Doesn't mean I have to like it

[twilit mountain]

Their insistence on sticking to D2 leech makes me want to [blocked for safety purposes]

[warped wren]

Fundamentally I understand why they made all forms of recovery and sustain annoying in this game but it is genuinely one of the single most unfun things about PoE2 as a whole

[desert jasper]

amen

Honestly
I feel that a lot of the decisions will result in ppl not playing it when it's fully released

[twilit mountain]

I don't understand it. This is the only game in the genre that is dead set on sticking to a standard from over 20 years ago. Literally no other game in this genre newer than D2 has "yeah only physical damage should be allowed to leech"

[warped wren]

The answer is that they just don't want poe1 style blasting. Crippling recovery is one lever for that.

I am perpetually amazed at their contempt for their own, highly successful and beloved, game

[twilit mountain]

They can kiss my ass, and the entire community combined at that, because every league we have collectively gunned for the fastest shit in the game because that's what's fun

[desert jasper]

And in 0.5 they'll again nerf player dmg by 80%
and boost all monster hp by 4x and some by 8x

instead of doing the end game rework

or that's their end game rework

Or maybe all maps will have drowning orbs

[warped wren]

Calm down Satan

[twilit mountain]

They're free to continue suffocating their game if they want, they'll continue to see player dropoff soar if they do

[desert jasper]

They'll do that
and then when they instantly drop like 90% of the players they'll go back because they realize it's not sustainable

Though if a certain J person would get his way they'd still go with it

[maiden widget]

I'll just not play until it changes, only low player counts and less sales can change stuff

[desert jasper]

I'm currently having fun enough with it
but when I feel I'm done with this character I'll just stop
then if 0.5 looks terrible I'll just not play it

[twilit mountain]

The fact that I have more excitement for a Hero Siege season than PoE2 is a TRAVEStY lmao

[warped wren]

Current iteration of mapping is definitely fun, alch and go on steroids

Shapeshifting too, good design

Even if the combos are all hardcoded, they feel good to execute and exciting to use

I'm still not bored of my single target MMO rotation

[twilit mountain]

I click Shield Wall and then yell 👍

[maiden widget]

I dislike the endgame so much that i don't really even feel the need to try new stuff. Feels like a waste to slog through the campaign. I'm also not big on combos - so far it's been mostly a meme anyway when i played and spamming one thing hard carried.

[warped wren]

1. Hit Lunar Blessing before entering boss arena
2. Activate Fury right before boss engages
3. Pounce to engage
4. Lunar Assault till frozen or close to frozen
5. Arctic Howl to freeze / immediately after frozen for exposure and flat damage buff
6. Shred for 1-2 rotation
7. Cross Slash out for big nuke

7 is mostly not needed now outside of pinnacles

[twilit mountain]

Shapeshfiting has actual combo shit. The downside is that it's the same rotation on every build of your form lol

[warped wren]

Tbh you get to the point where you need combos literally only for bosses and nothing else

Most of my clear happens with a single Lunar Assault + its following Moonbeams deleting screens

And i just pounce around for the mobility and buff

[twilit mountain]

I get that. That doesn't really invalidate the fact that every single shapeshifting build is either a set rotation or just CoEA

[warped wren]

Well, I have seen ONE extremely creative shapeshifting build

Wildly creative in fact

The guy uses CoC with ele weakness spending a shit ton of mana, along with Feral Invocation Cross Slash. So he starts with a slight ramp to fire off the ele weakness, which spends a LOT of mana and enables Feral Invocation, and then he just keeps using the Invocation to fire off more curses to enable more Invocations etc etc

Crazy 5head build

Insane clear and recovery too

[warped wren]

He's using that Jiquani's Thesis socketable with this setup

[jade jackal]

@signal bridge a DM bot

[desert jasper]

And the bot thinks I'm not worthy of DM

smh

[junior oyster]

You sure you haven't got dms disabled for this server?

[desert jasper]

I don't

I know because one of the actual users did send me a DM a while ago
and it took me a while to notice the +1 notification on discord
and he thought I had blocked him instantly

LUL

my DMs are open in case someone needs to contact me for reason or another

[warped wren]

ok imma run my 4 logbooks instead of selling them for 7d or whatever

so I can get the points and hopefully farm more logbooks

[desert jasper]

wait, 7d? what

[twilit mountain]

Apparently when the tablet says "increased difficulty" it means "every mfing mob is going to roll no regen"

[twilit mountain]

Annoyingly rare + splinters are expensive + inflation

[warped wren]

yeesh logbooks are spooky

[warped wren]

1.5-2d each

[desert jasper]

Tbh i think i've only killed first olroth

or whatever his name is

Honestly I'm almost tempted to ask Deias to run me through chaos temple & get the rest of my ascendancies

But it would just lead me to more mana issues LUL

[twilit mountain]

Oh don't ask me for chaos, my build will probably fall over in those. I run Sekh for a reason.

[desert jasper]

Ah
Well, I do have like 20 sekh things

[twilit mountain]

(this is the reason)

[desert jasper]

But good lord I hate sekhema

[twilit mountain]

Can't lose honor if shit doesn't deal damage 👍

[desert jasper]

Uhh
you wanna try running me through it?
after I've beat the viper boss

I'll pay you 😛

[twilit mountain]

Don't need to pay me, shouldn't take much time

Just focus on not getting hit and make sure downscaling is off

[desert jasper]

I don't even know how it really works

[twilit mountain]

So, for no good reason, honor totals are separate however if anyone runs out everyone fails lmao

[desert jasper]

How wonderful

[gilded elm]

Pay me instead

In dollars, thx

[desert jasper]

that'd be rmt

[gilded elm]

Nah, like just for free.

You gimme monies, I give you nothins

[desert jasper]

Yeah nah

[gilded elm]

hella rood

[desert jasper]

das me

[gilded elm]

I'm so good at chess

[warped wren]

logbooks are really steady money apparently

[twilit mountain]

@desert jasper lol. crash. jsut portal, we can re-enter

[desert jasper]

Yeah, I figured it was a crash

[twilit mountain]

Very stable game xdd

[desert jasper]

Was confused for a sec

So do I warp to you now or do you need to remake the instance?

[twilit mountain]

ezpz, Nub is now full ascend

Also got another Against The Darkness relic so hooray money

[desert jasper]

The one time I ran that I got the uhh
2ex relic

But yeah, that should make my lvling a lot more smooth

I honestly hate sekhemas so much

[twilit mountain]

Worth it though (rolls are kinda eh but more AoE and CD is always welcome)

Imma go play Sulfur now xdd

[warped wren]

Wonder if I should spend the 4-5d on the remaining Olroth splinters to attempt a t3

He's just really spooky, oneshots abound

But I do need my points

[desert jasper]

what's sulfur?

[warped wren]

Oh I can just call in some TFT schmuck looking for vouches to kill him, cool

[desert jasper]

Stil never used tft

[twilit mountain]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2124120/SULFUR/

[sand wigeon]

enjoy

[mental talon]

I'll do it if you inv me

[warped wren]

Awesome, I'll get on and buy the splinters in a couple hrs probably

[mental talon]

k just @ me I should be around

[junior oyster]

Ahh I thought my mouse was fine but it still does double clicks... looks like I have to buy a new one after all

Damn it

[gilded elm]

Twice the clicks for free?!

[junior oyster]

Yep

I've had this mouse for like 7+ years

Been so long it's been delisted from Amazon lool

Essentially it was this mouse

11/09/2018 rip

[gilded elm]

Not what I was expecting from a Touhou game, but really cool for a fan-made game.

[junior oyster]

Not sure why but my mind made me go to HoloCure

HC is what got me to buy VS

Cuz ngl I think HC is kinda not my thing

[gilded elm]

Probably because HoloCure is also anime characters (of VTubers from Hololive) and it's a fan-made game.

[junior oyster]

Yep

[gilded elm]

This one got a bit intense at the end for a first-time fight haha

[mental talon]

RIP temples, guess I should stop stalling and finally go play Expedition 33 and finish Breath of the Wild.

[fierce moth]

I even don't know what it mean... Why people say the latest hotfix brick their temples permanently?

Juatalotli's Medallion can now only be placed on Tier III Rooms

It's the key?

[gilded elm]

Behold, the crib! Beautiful, I know.

[warped wren]

Spent like 15d retooling my char for a negative rarity farm

Hopefully it works

[fierce moth]

oh no. It's a sad news.

I never know how people build the chain until this hotfix...

Still need a lot practice for the sensitivity of game mechanics

....Require more intelligence than strength. Alright maybe it's one of reasons this spear still here

The requirement is quite strict 🤔

[warped wren]

Why on earth are you listing that for 20d, what

[desert jasper]

Yea no way thst's 20d
anyone who pays that deserves to lose the currency

Sweet
gonna hit -20C next week

[fierce moth]

How much the actual value is?

no crit chance so can't reach 20d?

[desert jasper]

It has terrible rolls

Sure, good % phys dmg but no flat phys dmg
no skill levels

I wouldn't even pay 1 ex for that.

[gilded elm]

lol

[warped wren]

negative rarity, not negative currency

[fierce moth]

so this one is trash too?

[warped wren]

might not be totally bad, with the +5 and the attack speed and what looks to be high tier flat lightning

idk

use Exiled Exchange and check

[fierce moth]

I listed that 10d

[warped wren]

I sincerely doubt that's 10d but ok

[fierce moth]

fine, change it from 10d to 5d.

[warped wren]

???

sis, just use the market tool

[gilded elm]

lol

[warped wren]

to get an idea of how similar items are priced

[fierce moth]

No similar items on market...

I'm not sure if +5 projectile skills work... I just see +3 melee skills on market

I listed that 10d for 3 days, no one buy that

[gilded elm]

If price is good, then people buy quickly. That's kind of how you know.

[fierce moth]

yes so 10d isn't a good price

[warped wren]

I wonder if this is meme pricing or actual...

[gilded elm]

Nah, what is this creepy ass swamp

Okay, this was a very bad swamp. Me ded lol

[desert jasper]

looks like a comfy swamp
Perfect place to lie down & sleep

[abstract karma]

https://tenor.com/view/lordoftheringsswamp-swamp-lord-of-the-rings-frodo-frodofalls-gif-6203814770200207015

[fierce moth]

lol come on?
Where the button is?

oh I can kill the first side quest boss when I'm lv 3 only?! Never imagine that

[ebon meadow]

Yea took me sometime to figure it out lul ,gl with the boss at end

Wait a minute that's not where the winds meet ? UI looks absolutely same

[desert jasper]

it's the runescape thingy

[sand wigeon]

The general rule is that if something doesn’t sell within a day, you lower it’s price, and you do that until it sells

[ebon meadow]

Wait what ??? RuneScape?? How the fk I missed it

[desert jasper]

as in Runescape: dragonwilds

[sand wigeon]

It’s an open-world survival-craft game set in the Runescape world

[ebon meadow]

Yea Ty ,I m getting home and take a look at it I hear vagly about it but it didn't kicked

[twilit mountain]

Floor loot 👍

[desert jasper]

I was wondering where I lost my ring

Glad you found it

[junior oyster]

Soon as I see a button like that in the top corner I kinda lose interest

My guess is that's more for shooters or something?

[hot crown]

Or just a double-click shortcut.

I know I've set my RX1000's behind-the-wheel button for doubleclick.

[junior oyster]

Triple click apparently but I guess it'd also work as a double click

[twilit mountain]

It's for whatever you want it for really, buttons be programmable

[jade jackal]

Is this a redragon? what is this?

[junior oyster]

I have to click so many times on discord right now because my left click decided it's now a double click lol

Yes it's a reddragon

No idea about brands tbf aside from steelseries and razor

I'm more worried about misclicks than anything on that mouse

[twilit mountain]

How far out do you keep your finger >.>

[maiden widget]

Doesn't look prone to misclicking imo seems more than fine that far out of the way

[junior oyster]

This is probably better but then I have no thumb rest

I've gotten used to a thumb rest on the side

[ebon meadow]

thats basicly my hand shape model today

[junior oyster]

The first one or this one?

[ebon meadow]

just 2 buttons on the side and an ovelip on left and right clicker

second one

thats the shape i use since 2009 ish

[junior oyster]

Hmm I think I'll buy this mouse

I mean the first one

With the button on the top

[ebon meadow]

this is what i stayed with since 2016

[junior oyster]

First time buying a wireless mouse though

[ebon meadow]

today they got really good theres no delay

they are more than fine when they are used in csgo majors lul

[ebon meadow]

that is a razer mamba elite model

[hot crown]

This one is mine.

About as primitive as it can be, heh. 🙂

[ebon meadow]

yea but logic is like the nokia of mouse and keaboards

they are indestructable

i still have one of my first mouse somewhere in a box

[hot crown]

I can attest to that xD

This one is at LEAST like 14 years old by now 😄

Still kicking 😄

[twilit mountain]

Ye olde G502 here

[ebon meadow]

yep mine work to i have it as back up but i just cant rember where i had same mouse since 2016

[jade jackal]

No mouse survived for 3 years at my place lol

[desert jasper]

I miss my old logitech... I dn't remember what it was
but could put some weights inside it so it was nice

[jade jackal]

2 is what i gave em

[ebon meadow]

i dont even know the model its just an office one but it survived LoL witch is ... crazy for me

the logi i have is from 2001

i m actually keen to find it now

[fierce moth]

Got my G304 in 2023.12.09 🤔

so my mouse is 2 years old

[junior oyster]

I've had mine for just over 7 years

[maiden widget]

I'd still keep using this but the cable got annoying

[jade jackal]

I remember these

wow, that takes me back

what's their name, i forgot

[maiden widget]

Now I have a vxe R1 and a 3d printed finger rest

Mionix naos pro in this case

[jade jackal]

Mionix yes

holy crap, they used to be in contact with me, like a million years ago

circa 2015 i believe

maybe even 2014

[maiden widget]

Nice yeah they were way bigger then

[jade jackal]

I thought the company went belly up

[maiden widget]

Got so used to this shape and no one else decent makes it

[fierce moth]

to be honest... That's the 2nd mouse I own

[jade jackal]

I see that Mionix products are still being sold at Amazon, but at exorbitant prices. The NAOS Pro, which should cost 45 dollars on a good day, is 80 dollars

[maiden widget]

Oof I got 2 for 45€ 2 years ago

[fierce moth]

wireless mouse feel quite good. No idea why people prefer wire mouses

[jade jackal]

Yeah, that would make sense. Its expensive not because of quality or hardware. Its quite ancient actually and the sensor is lacking, but the volume

I think there's a limited stock

[maiden widget]

I'll be honest I've not noticed a different in mouse sensors ever since buying gaming mice

I'm mostly noticing weird coating or side buttons or laggy polling

[jade jackal]

This definitely gains viability as time goes by

battery life gets longer, charging gets faster, and latency shrunk to pretty much nothing

[maiden widget]

I've only switched when I saw that they now last multiple weeks without charging

[jade jackal]

Even pricing is rapidly dropping on wireless mice that contain advanced wireless sensors like the PAW3950 and PAW3311

It took years of evolution and terrible products to get here, but its here, and we can enjoy it

[maiden widget]

I still find it a bit annoying how mouses got extremely samey

[jade jackal]

Yeah, a good portion of them stick to a very similar shape. i dont mind it too much, i can adjust

[maiden widget]

Instead of trying new/different shapes we now get the same in ergonomic small hole riddled mice

[jade jackal]

Well, we don't have to use cheese graters

many of the new lightweight wireless mice are whole-bodied

[maiden widget]

I am kinda used to bigger mice thanks to the mionix and my trackball so going back is hard

[jade jackal]

This mouse called Aula SC900 Max is actually what i would recommend to people who dont mind a larger shape

Its significantly larger than most shapes ive tried

it also has a decent trick, with rechargeable quick-swap batteries

so you always have one charged, they have USBC in em

[maiden widget]

looks pretty similar to the vxe one i got

no quick swap though

[junior oyster]

I need you guys opinion on this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CDC6X2BG?psc=1&aref=NAtoaNIOUW&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF92c2VfUlZQX2RldGF

Would you say it's worth it?

Ok mouse is bad enough I decided to buy it

[jade jackal]

@gilded elm Overlord Cycle 8 boss HP be like....

[warped wren]

base farming works I guess

[fierce moth]

Never see so many exalted orbs

1024e...

[twilit mountain]

You could. It's really, REALLY easy to make money.

[warped wren]

it's just over 4d, that's it

looks more than it is

but yeah 9+4=13d and change off of 4 maps I did is pretty good

[fierce moth]

wait. Are you stack rarity from waystones and tablets?

[warped wren]

negative rarity

no rarity on maps / tablets / atlas tree at all

[junior oyster]

Ngl I kinda hate the rarity feature

Especially on items

[twilit mountain]

Everyone does

[warped wren]

real

but it's easier to go negative at least

[ebon meadow]

that actually looks fkn insane to me and perfect shaped , going in to bookmarked

that is literally perfect shaped for me

[twilit mountain]

He grooven

[ebon meadow]

same mold as i m using mine ,but heavier duty left and right

and its wht coloured i like my stuff wht if it wouldnt get so dirty so fast

i found some walls trying to type that in a normal sentence xdd

server pls

its colour of pereferics lmao

[junior oyster]

Alright done with trails in the sky 1st chapter

Now gotta wait patiently for the next one

[twilit mountain]

GGG can we please have an auto pause in pinnacle bosses if our TEXTURES DONT EXIST

[junior oyster]

Or simply an autopause before the fight begins

[ebon meadow]

lmfaooo i still dont have textures for Sirus fisrs fight ...

i can not see the storms on my screen

[twilit mountain]

At least you can revive on Sirus

[junior oyster]

I honestly hate so many of their decisions for poe2

Such hypocrites

[twilit mountain]

One step forward, thirty steps backwards

[warped wren]

What happens if you log out

[junior oyster]

We wanna make a game that's easy for the normal people but let's make it so that you lose all your portals on the harder versions

[ebon meadow]

they want to keep a slight frenetic feel of the game but yea....

[twilit mountain]

Lose portal + reload textures anyways lmao

[warped wren]

Damn

[junior oyster]

Heck I can to some extent defend losing portals on the harder pinnacles but why does all content need to rip in maps if you die to boss is beyond me

[twilit mountain]

I don't even know why my textures break on that fight, there's literally nothing to re-render!

[ebon meadow]

the worst thing about this that people switching over engines without knowing it would take them like an hour to redownload and apply to game with reset

[twilit mountain]

I can't swap engines 👍

[ebon meadow]

i keep reading vulcan sucks as i switched and like or u pour soul u have to play like that for few hours before u get shaders back

[warped wren]

I'm having better performance with Vulkan

Deias' game breaks on Vulkan

[ebon meadow]

first time entering tha layout , first time entering a terain it can be anything but personally , UE evening hours amsterdam and frankfurt are unplayable becouse of the peak

[warped wren]

It's just weird

[ebon meadow]

vulcan works fine

[twilit mountain]

Maybe for you

I literally cannot open the game with Vulkan

[ebon meadow]

its a texture memory thing untill u open all the zone theme " bioms"

[twilit mountain]

Dude

I can't open the game lol

[ebon meadow]

i also play on dx12 but vulkan is always my back up but i know i will play like shit rendering for first few hours

[desert jasper]

Dude
Even if you've been to all of the areas it'll still decide "yeah nah, f you. you'll need to render all the stuff again " if you die

[ebon meadow]

exactly the bottle neck issue

it resets ur assets for some reason

what ever is generating the layouts is wild

[desert jasper]

I've to say
I don't like the charges in poe2
generating & spending them

[fierce moth]

👀 New luxury unique I found

[ebon meadow]

the fix is probably same as poe1 go to folder delete the assets for the engine u arent using , that probably give u ram some liberty to actually proces one engine instead of 3

[warped wren]

Is that even worthwhile for your Lich

[junior oyster]

That's old

[twilit mountain]

Don't pay for 5, it's worthless

There's a minimum of 1 enemy to be surrounded, so all you need is a roll of 4

[junior oyster]

She probably doesn't even have the money lol

[warped wren]

It's definitely not worthless but at 30d+ it's overpriced for sure

[twilit mountain]

No it is literally worthless

[fierce moth]

I buy for my...Oh require lv 38. My future ritualist

[twilit mountain]

Default is 5 enemies to be surrounded, there's a hardcoded minimum of 1 enemy to be surrounded now

[warped wren]

It enables the faster movement speed and longer dodge roll at all times even when sprinting open zones, it's bit QoL

[warped wren]

Oh wait what

Lmao

[desert jasper]

Don't buy one with 5
get one with 4. way cheaper and does the exact same thing

[twilit mountain]

Yeah

Lol

[warped wren]

Yeah ok lol

[desert jasper]

Yeah, i think it was patched to require 1?

[warped wren]

No fun allowed

[twilit mountain]

Source: patch notes + I'm using it

[desert jasper]

Yeah, my spear lass is using it too

[warped wren]

It was so good last league

Doing them Aloy dodge rolls

[twilit mountain]

People listing 5 rolls are just legitimately scamming people who don't know about the change lol

[fierce moth]

how to filter 4 fewer enemies? The filter on special affix can be min or max only

[twilit mountain]

Just get this

[twilit mountain]

Set -4 in the max section

[mental talon]

Good afternoon party people

[fierce moth]

lol no result

[twilit mountain]

Gimme a second Kirra

[twilit mountain]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal/pLDVwvvH0
here

You did not read what I said

Put -4 in the max section

[fierce moth]

Oh I miss -

It's the best hideout in poe 2 so far. Kraken's cove.

[junior oyster]

Disagree

[fierce moth]

Cooler than that hideout from $480 supporter pack I think, on visual

I can't stay here for a long time unfortunately :(

Bridges on waterfall is the core

[twilit mountain]

lol

[ebon meadow]

huh

a mana flask ??? what

fk i m not paying that for a perfect roll on a build lmao sorry

[twilit mountain]

Can't reroll affixes in this game so people who get unlucky long enough will pay exorbitant amounts for shit

[ebon meadow]

that is called abundancy of resources

[twilit mountain]

Also 4div is like

Pretty cheap

[ebon meadow]

and people still complaign that they are poor

4 div for a mana flask is cheap ?

my bain hardly comprehned

[twilit mountain]

4div for anything is pretty cheap right now

Money is comically easy to make in 2

You can make like 40div in a day by selling magic items

[ebon meadow]

poe league economy in a nutshell i guess , lets see how many leagues before i have made 0 divines a day

that is crazy and sounds like sc ( i mean standart more likely ) economy to me 4 divs a mana flask

something that is specific to few builds

[twilit mountain]

Anything using high amounts of mana, especially MoM builds which are VERY good right now

[twilit mountain]

Nnnnope. I'm in league.

[ebon meadow]

no no , i mean the price feels like standart league

i know u playing current but holy price for mana items xdd

[twilit mountain]

It's really just a consequence of the game dropping currency like every league is Affliction

[ebon meadow]

they gave us hope on how to make curency for ages , we will find every single source that can make more in the game

and if we can replicate and farm it its ggs

so many factors that fuel that including outside the game exmpl. streamers is just additive

my playstile is hoping for a naturale development of a character , dont farm this dont farm that , play the game evolve ur character to play more

[junior oyster]

Good luck with that

[ebon meadow]

hope is hope

[junior oyster]

Hopium

[ebon meadow]

we call them clickers today

[junior oyster]

Now that I'm done with trails in the sky 1st chapter I dunno what to play

[ebon meadow]

only that genre of games actually achived that in some sort

[ebon meadow]

me neither i might actually buy a controller and play some shooters xdd

and i m way to old for that

a lot of my steam frieds logging in to arc riders i havent even seen it lmao i m such a boomer

[junior oyster]

I don't play shooters at all

Maybe I might buy soulstone survivors

Some of the lads in this server have been hyping it up a bit

[ebon meadow]

Face of stfu and come to bed

[fierce moth]

First time to:

1. Give so much debuff
2. Use crit-based skills
3. Use 7 skills in a combat

[junior oyster]

Are you pressing 7+ buttons?

[fierce moth]

lol I win finally

[fierce moth]

its what I need to do with the mad wolf, yes

otherwise I will die xd

Output all damage I can do

[junior oyster]

Damn must be a bad build

[fierce moth]

just act 1. Long way to go

[junior oyster]

Must be a bad levelling build

[fierce moth]

too early to judge it's a bad build or not

[twilit mountain]

No not really. Thorns takes three items and two buttons and can phase skip Geonor.

[fierce moth]

why I can't find this skill from skill list for uncut skill gems and spirit gems?

[twilit mountain]

Probably a unique or item skill.

Ah it's Ritualist

[warped wren]

not all builds are Deadeyes

[junior oyster]

I did sorc and didn't need to use that many skills lol

[warped wren]

7 is a bit much tbf

[junior oyster]

I mean it makes Jonathan happy

So

[warped wren]

but yeah some builds are just combo heavy

TRUE

[junior oyster]

We love to play piano

Or the flute

Idk

[junior oyster]

Insert Jonathan middle finger meme

[hot crown]

Crate's Zantai casually dropping [a roast targeting Moon's Thomas beefing with ex-blizz Mike Ybarra] like a freaking troll he is. xD

[junior oyster]

Uhh what

[desert jasper]

Zantai is cool

[hot crown]

https://x.com/Zantai/status/2007318167291588967

[abstract karma]

for spear Act 1 you dont need so many attack skills but you need right build for you..
some are harder, frustating

I found spear just how to say unbalanced if you try focus something else from what game tries literally force you to use

[junior oyster]

I'll skip clicking on xitter

[twilit mountain]

Here's how to level spear:

Put thorns on every rare item you can. Equip a shield. Active block. Poke with Rapid. Works til like level 60.

[fierce moth]

....Damn

Thank you so much. I forget skills maybe come from ascendencies too

[junior oyster]

Here's how to truly level spear:

1. Download D2R
2. Pick Amazon
3. Actually have fun

[twilit mountain]

Third thing is not applicable

Because it's D2R

[junior oyster]

Alternatively you could go PD2

[twilit mountain]

That one works

[junior oyster]

But honestly I like D2R only because of the filter

I wish bliz wasn't greedy and allowed mp modding to d2r

[fierce moth]

better a lot now, 3 skills are needed at max

[hot crown]

Your loss.

I don't use twatter either, but this particular piece is golden.

[fierce moth]

that's quite fun lol

I can aoe in act 2 finally!

[junior oyster]

You could have just took a screenshot of the post but to each their own

[fierce moth]

witch is quite bad on aoe

[hot crown]

Again; your loss.

[junior oyster]

Not bothered by it all so idk if it counts as a loss

[hot crown]

🤷‍♂️

Moving on, I guess.

[abstract karma]

explosive spear or parry fangs of forst is what ?

[fierce moth]

⬆️ this combo

[warped wren]

Crafting your own t16s is agony

Jonathan please

I spent nearly 2d making 3 of them

[jovial bane]

the beatings will continue until morale improves

[warped wren]

[abstract karma]

Hmm steam awards are out

like idk why the hell Baldur gate has Labor one.. it should go to game which is long and take a lot of too offer
Like No man's sky which literally gives insane updates for free

Silent hill F as visual of year ? Wtf its so weird winner too

like wtf PoE 2 is doing there

its official.. ppl just like looter shooters more than good gameplay

[jovial bane]

Because the subclasses and missing spells update was this year

[abstract karma]

did you notice wtf for updates had No Man's sky ? They basicaly made from game Star Citizen under this year

[jovial bane]

ye I did

I think it's also because BG3 is a outlier, and NMS is kind of expected at this point

and probably because NMS got basically that award on TGA

[abstract karma]

should have nothing common with that..

Title describe that award clearly and sorry subclasses which are thing of Baldur gates franchise ever since 1 it shouldn't be
(or later their Ice WindDale) something so amazaing to be even within nominates..

I could argument same thing - "it should have been excepted from them"

[jovial bane]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

regardless, case in point why 100% players voice awards on TGA wouldn't mean anything

[abstract karma]

well except BG and Arc Raider i could agree with others tho little sad that nobody really cares for KCD 2 while it being quite big and heavy RPG which are sacred these days

[jovial bane]

it's too niche for its own good

which is great

[junior oyster]

Kind of suprised HK won goty on steam

Thought it'd be E33 for sure

I don't know how much BG3 did as support for their game but I guess NMS has still got to take those Ls

[sand wigeon]

Arc Raiders has genuinely innovative gameplay tho lol

Like it has innovated the PvPvE game systems we’ve come to know, including adaptive AI

Enemies will adapt to how the playerbase is playing the game, it’s inarguable that’s innovative

I don’t even like Arc Raiders that much but it deserves “innovation” award over the other top voted for sure

I adore Blue Prince but it’s not innovative

[sand wigeon]

Also Arc Raiders isn’t a looter shooter

It’s an extraction shooter

which is in fact different

Arc Raiders actively brought a unique, innovative freshness to the extraction shooter genre and surprised both hardcore and casual enjoyers of the genre with new systems and extremely good design choices. It, by the definition given in the award description, fits that.

The other big name in the extraction shooter genre is Escape from Tarkov, which still largely fails in some parts of the games where Arc Raiders excels, such as enemy AI.

[twilit mountain]

The AI PMC completely standing still in a hallway staring at a wall and only locking in to shoot me when I'm five feet away scavving

[sand wigeon]

Me when I peek out for a second and the AI PMC squad crouches down in the middle of the road (they don’t know I have an FN40GL pointed at them and by all standing still next to each other they’re all getting blown up)

[warped wren]

TIL that a single, well rolled gold amulet base ilvl 82 is 3d

[twilit mountain]

Yeah....

[warped wren]

ok those were a good couple maps, hopefully some stuff sells

gold amulet base, t1 high roll %phys on an i82 warmonger bow, t1 flat ES + t1 res sirenscale gloves...

[twilit mountain]

Had to pause cuz I watched my items pop up one by one on slideshow framerate

[warped wren]

Lmao

[twilit mountain]

Me and my ball of fking light (there are TWELVE SPIRITS HERE)

[warped wren]

Wdym 12

[desert jasper]

12 spirits could be here

[twilit mountain]

There are twelve

Spirits

[warped wren]

How's that possible

[twilit mountain]

Sacred + revives + releases

[warped wren]

God damn

I'd just die lol

I really need to buy an Olroth's I think

[twilit mountain]

Help

[warped wren]

Pad out my max hit a bit

[warped wren]

Any of that good?

[twilit mountain]

Rabbit idol alone is money

[warped wren]

Ah

[desert jasper]

which one is the rabbit idol?

[warped wren]

I have never ever gotten anything good off spirits

[twilit mountain]

Rarity

[warped wren]

And they juice the unholy bejeezus out of rares

Lol the timing: https://youtu.be/ZEnAU9H41kA?si=eQmjupl1pjOoXoIy

[desert jasper]

Ahh
yea no wonder

[warped wren]

Nice one Chris

[twilit mountain]

I just one bang anything weaker than an empowered map boss

So

[warped wren]

My issue is my maxhit

If I take a nasty hit I just fold

[twilit mountain]

Active block my beloved

[warped wren]

Average life build issues

[warped wren]

Ya but block

Is good

[twilit mountain]

Yeah

That's my whole survival plan

Hold block until I get time to plant wall and shout

Works weirdly well

[warped wren]

I'm wondering if I should rejig my tree a bit to get overleech

It'd help a bit when getting swarmed, but how much I'm not sure

[junior oyster]

I love his hit on Elon xD

[junior oyster]

Btw what did you mean by timing? Did I miss something?

[warped wren]

The insanity going on with buff/nerf panic cycle on temple

After yesterday's panic nerf, today they released a panic buff

[junior oyster]

Lol

[warped wren]

It honestly feels like interns are running PoE2 lol

[junior oyster]

I never would have noticed because I stopped playing poe

[junior oyster]

Still too expensive sigh

[twilit mountain]

Fml. Lost an overrun map to a dodge roll bug.

Shit teleported me backwards into the laser.

[warped wren]

Sony milking the hell out of this franchise instead of letting it out to more players so it could grow organically

It's a really good set of games but Sony is just being Sony and torpedoing its success

[junior oyster]

Better than Nintendon't but not good enough

[twilit mountain]

Nintendon't Sell Anything For Under $70

[jade jackal]

[twilit mountain]

Aneurysm time. Picked up a Heart Of The Well drop. Textures start reloading. Get a singular pop-up that is "YOU DIED" and now I'm over 5 minutes into loading into my HO.

[warped wren]

[twilit mountain]

It got rolled back.......... That's enough PoE2 for the day

[warped wren]

What

Bruh

That's nasty

[fierce moth]

Oh man. This boss is quite tough for melee characters...

Caster can just move and attack. Melee have to catch up and dodge together. Not all the duration available to attack too

[warped wren]

Everything is harder as melee

Just how this game is

[fierce moth]

Where can I check out what that flower icon mean?

I want to know the hierarchy behind but nowhere to find

[fierce moth]

(how to know how much level my ritualist need for 3/4/5 slots)

[desert jasper]

what flower icon?
also 3rd slot is at like... 40ish? and 5th slot at 90

[fierce moth]

oh man. It's just no time to attack...

The process of dodging its attack consumed all charges of life potion :(

[fierce moth]

Improved my evasion and bonus 18% physical damage. Take its head.

Consume 10 charges still but the life of Jamanra is ended too

[abstract karma]

meanwhile rather thatn some 3rd good story we get some mmorpg monster hunter because such attempts hadn't been enough >.>

[fierce moth]

why I feel the latest video from Chris Wilson is talked Jonathan how to deal with vaal temple drama his team made...

well close server to ban all accounts which used the exploit of vaal temple and clean all illegal loots they gained is a good idea.

[abstract karma]

that's good and bad idea..

because it breaks reputation of game
all these ppl will be p.. off
streamers starts storms which brings even more hate..
using "Exploits" is something which developers let there for long time that thing shouldnt have exist from start..

Only normal solution would be alwas "Rollback" of whole thing but then again you would ruin a lot of characters which dont exploit anything..

For anything to do it what you suggest or John need to be saved in some kind of history which this game doesn't save..
They have backups of "servers" but i doubt that they have history of moments of every dropped items nor characters..

[fierce moth]

Oh rollback for everyone? It's risky

lol well GGG and EHG... Both of them trying hard to breaks their reputation even their devs don't hope that

no winner mean this drama is consistently to be available

[abstract karma]

Well EHG just let them hit to conner.. while GGG just dont test everything enough and let exploits which are used by veterans players which are also no-life streamers
which then watch these other players to enjoy game

EGH had a lot of safe circles - ussually send by players which cares for game or suggest some interesting directions.. meanwhile they went to their ways till point they literally needed financial injection and let themself buy which limits their other development even further...

But that's just mine opinion (probably a lot ppl from this chat itself see it differently)

[fierce moth]

EHG do better on connecting themselves with their community indeed

lol checked comments below Chris's latest video, many people have the same opinion. Perfect timing xd

[ebon meadow]

the lack of conection with community has maybe to do with what happened on reddit with Path of Matth and rest with devs getting threated , we were warned that the free conection with developers are broken now and probably never be the same

also didnt Chris step down from beeing a face of the game

and with the testing of things its always been the same they neither have or want more testers so the content isnt leaked or datamined , witch we still do just not publicly

[desert jasper]

you mean monster hunter stories?
they're not mmorpg...

it's jrpg
nothing mmo about it

[abstract karma]

it has online elements yea its not mmorpg.. but that's how they represent it in internet same as their new project about that franchise

[desert jasper]

Okay
So pokemon has online elements
Is every pokemon with trading & online battle mmorpg?

ofc not, that would just be silly

Dark souls has online elements. co-op, pvp, leaving messages, showing where people died, sometimes seeing phantoms of other players actions and some others
not mmorpg either

[abstract karma]

you dont listen - its NET which represent it that way.. These day every BS is for many ppl just "mmo"... >.>

so i know it, might wrote it wrong and i know it but it doesnt change fact that if you dig out a few posts you find in many cases of games with Co-op or online elements to be described as MMO

[desert jasper]

Yes and people in general aren't very bright

And someone describing it as something other doesn't mean that it's correct

[ebon meadow]

I just went in with my friend to buy his niece a present lol I need to stay away from toy stores

And u have mentioned it earlier

[junior oyster]

Ooh nice Digimon

[ebon meadow]

Lmao ,I haven't bought any new collections since 6 years ago

[sand wigeon]

Now I want Pokemon cards

[jade jackal]

2,000 dollars please

[sand wigeon]

They’re like, $6

[jade jackal]

This was me performing a commentary performative art due to the card collecting craze

[sand wigeon]

I know

It was just bad “performative art”

[jade jackal]

Danke

[sand wigeon]

You’re welcome?

[ebon meadow]

Also missing two main cases

I actually manage to find an old one in 17k pictures lol

[sand wigeon]

No way, is that grass energy?

[ebon meadow]

i have energys that a limited to 8 packs with 4 cards in each so if it exists i probably have it yea

like the McDonalds limited and stuff

this are old pics i i have everything now in big boxes and packed away i really want to take a month or two and finish to catalgue everything i have on spreadsheet and also check if anything cought damp

random out of ass calculation i have arouund 11k pokemon cards including a looooot of repeats ( and exluding sealed packs )

i dont get conventions or anything like around my zone so not much to trade with

let me see if i can find my favorite yugioh though the gold colection with 10oZ gold engraved was actually sick

Not actually sure now if it was 10oZ per box or per card now

[junior oyster]

I thought the Estelle character also sounded familiar...

She is Orihime from Bleach

They really got Ichigo and Orihime VA's to be the main VA's in trails in the sky

[ebon meadow]

why u randomly mention my favorite manga

i really dont want to rewatch Bleach now

[junior oyster]

This year was the first time I watched the entirety of Bleach in English dub

And man Jonny kills it as Ichigo

[ebon meadow]

its a good voyce yea

[junior oyster]

Well aside from the bount arc cuz I hate it

[ebon meadow]

was a weird thing but i did enjoy it

was something twards actual "Europe" thing i guess

[junior oyster]

It's just super cool that the Ichigo/Orihime VAs are the main VAs for Trails in the sky

In both series they are a couple lol

And it always felt Estelle sounded strangely like Orihime lol

Gah I can't wait for Trails in the sky 2nd

[sand wigeon]

I have a Blue Eyes!

And a first edition Swords of Revealing Light

I was never big into Yugioh so that's all I have from when I was a kid

First Edition Blue Eyes, to clarify

@twilit mountain How the #*@% do I have a First Edition Blue Eyes

[ebon meadow]

ok mine was not first edition but i did have it to lul

i lost my wole deck moving

that was before i was 16 lmao

was a beatifull card

[sand wigeon]

Unfortunate

[ebon meadow]

i lost around 400 cards i still remmeber that after 18 years

no idea witch box i shoveled them in but my family used to have a removals buisness so unlimited storage and it just got ghosted

same as i dont have my ps3 with the cracked version

just voided in a storage

thats a ps with cod loby and over 80 games ...

[sand wigeon]

All too common a tale

[ebon meadow]

I found my trade chest though

[fierce moth]

Happy ending as I want. Ok I can go to paint the next work

I want to fix what I have been missed in the 1st acrylic painting due to limited skills in next work

[warped wren]

at last

bought it unID for 63d, ID'd it and realized the roll means I saved 7d lol

[fierce moth]

I got a white tribal mask and I'm confused why the sound is different... Then I search which uniques may I get

[warped wren]

Ya if you hit Vertex with chance orb it's big money

Logged in to buy Olroth's and run 1 map, got an estimated 27d of bases in that map, put it up for sale and logged off

[jovial bane]

I just sometimes grab magic cards. I think that's my most valuable, blingy pull ?

[fierce moth]

lol...
GGG know it's a wrong decision finally

but I don't know how to collect more Juataloti's medallion tbh

let me fix the error that lich isn't good at aoe at first (level up ritualist)... It's the base for enjoying the game

[jovial bane]

that was really fast

[real kayak]

I haven't even touched the temple, it's such a shit mechanic. happily farming omens with abyss 😁

might try a spearzon once I get the offhand and a hh

[warped wren]

there is a lot to hate in this game.

-27.5d

[fierce moth]

Searched where can I go to meet more artists to paint together, but results I got are all about preparing for art exams 😔 Too terrible...

[fierce moth]

@desert jasper Will you save many currencies for your alt? If so, how many d will you save for a new build?

[placid yarrow]

We've gotten some decent snow this winter. The past few years there's barely been any at all

[fierce moth]

summer?

[placid yarrow]

Whops winter

Lol

[junior oyster]

Had a bit of snow but it might as well not have snowed

[fierce moth]

lol

[desert jasper]

I have the bad habit of not spending currency in game if I'm doing fine and don't feel like I'm struggling or have a clear upgrade that i want

[placid yarrow]

Yeah it snows one day and melts the next is how its been for a while here lol

[junior oyster]

I mean depending where you live it could snow in summer

[junior oyster]

Birmingham 🥹

My real issue is the aftermath

Black ice

[junior oyster]

Like me then. I rarely make a second build though unless my previous build is really awful.

[desert jasper]

I did also give deias 2 div for carrying me through all the ascensions because I didn't feel like doing 3rd & 4th

But tbh I don't know
now that the monk is close to lvl 60 and I've reached the interludes
I'm honestly starting to get bored of playing as him

Like I always have this problem with evasion / ES based characters in early game that they just feel squishy if you actually get hit

[fierce moth]

@obtuse rune how the progress of your...your ascendency going? you're a oracle? Which animal are you being?

[obtuse rune]

I did not go oracle I ended up going with Shaman, made a werewolf and wolf build. I managed to pick up the spectre node so I was having a lot of fun with it. Big ol Werewolf swipes and about 12 wolf minions
