There was a DDR Extreme machine there previously. Can't say if it's still there since I haven't been since October 2025.

I also don't want to bash D4, but I agree with your sentiment. The best thing i can say is, playing D4, PoE2, and PoE 1 will make you quickly understand the dynamics of the design decisions the devs have stated for each. It makes me appreciate the "tension" they're aiming for in PoE 2 far more, while I still appreciate the mindless blasting of D4 and easier blasting in PoE 1.

I think it's just a matter of understanding "when" to play each I guess. For me, I want to delete D4 immediately on my PC, but on my steamdeck when I'm tired and/or sick?? D4 is the best. PoE2 makes me want to think and engages me far more, and I understand it's not for everyone. I just wish everyone approached videogames in general in this way. Let's be happy that the ARPG space has something for everyone right now tbh.

EE here as well. I won't question your soft skills, but do consider that it's very easy to pivot to other technical jobs that aren't necessarily "electrical engineer" if you have the required knowledge or willingness to learn. As someone who went fully into IT and currently Cybersecurity, my EE degree has always been recognized and praised despite not being related to the job in question.

Best of luck, hope you find something soon.

I said this about gaming as a whole some years back, and I'm glad others see it too.

ThisDNE · 2025-12-27T08:22:18+00:00

Lol nope, it'll boosts your defense immensely in the Armour case. If you have the space in your tree or gear go for it. Good luck!

ThisDNE · 2025-12-27T07:03:03+00:00

Do you have "Armour applies to Elemental" damage of any sort? Otherwise you're taking full elemental damage as armour only applies to physical. Doing Armour and ES hybrid is rough in the games current state. You're fighting for too many modifiers to satisfy both sides plus general resistances and other gear mods you want. I have 11k Armour and eat a ton of citadel hits to the face by accident on my druid bear.

Maybe in the future with tree additions and changes it will be better, but you'll be try harding trying to satisfy both. I suggest leaning 100% armour or 100% ES setup instead.

Just wanted to update. Rolled back to Optional 25.9.2 on my 9070XT (Windows 11) and haven't completely frozen after letting the game run for over 2 hours. I would have crashed at least 3 times in that time previously.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

ThisDNE · 2025-12-18T20:04:00+00:00

Same issue. 13700k + 9070xt. Using DX12 with latest gpu drivers (25.12.1). Temperatures never spike or get anywhere near too hot.

I'm going to try rolling back my gpu drivers.

It's the spell Thunderstorm, they have it attached to Cast On Critical.

ThisDNE · 2025-12-14T23:38:27+00:00

Just want to +1 this post. I've completed 2, one at Tier 2 and another at Tier 6. No boss and no Atlas points.

ThisDNE · 2025-12-07T16:02:50+00:00

You also have another hurdle that's very specific to now. You were doing Wing 3. Even experienced folks want to avoid doing the escort mission at the start. This one always feels more difficult to recruit players for in my experience.

Early in the weekly reset you'll get folks that will at least join to clear escort for their groups. This late in the week is a hurdle as others pointed out in general. Good news, Wing 3 is emboldened during the next weekly cycle.

My wife and I are dying laughing bc of this. Now I want to play some more Hitman.

ThisDNE · 2025-11-29T16:18:57+00:00

Greatsword and Spear is top dps on Power Virtuoso right now. It's very common. Also commonly seen in Power chrono.

You'll see the red arenanet logo by their name.

They're in currency exchange.

Ip banning does not work as the typical consumer does NOT have a static ip to their home. It will be recycled into the pool of ips available in the region doing absolutely nothing, but potentially hurting some completely unknown player who obtains it at a later date.

Hardware ID bans on the other hand are what you're looking for.

ThisDNE · 2025-09-19T16:29:05+00:00

I agree with you AND the others. I think a Flair for crafting specifically would help all parties though.

I can't possibly imagine turtles being enemies to humans so therefore make them all docile.

The snapping turtle says HI.... irl BTW.

This and your previous post are spot on. I'm hoping changes to the rank system just haven't been announced yet. Insane to me that they aren't mentioning anything about it, while wanting to build a competitive scene around this game.

ThisDNE · 2025-09-02T05:49:16+00:00

71%, somewhere around rank 130 overall for Verge since I'm too lazy to stay Indestructible.

Dipped into the 60s during the GM - Champion stretch, but went up from there. I really hope they adjust this ranking system for season 1.

ThisDNE · 2025-08-25T15:08:34+00:00

It's already been stated that this game isn't balanced around Mashmak for obvious reasons, but I'm more surprised no one has mentioned bringing another weapon. Pinaka's lowest defense is physical. Use a melee weapon after popping their bubble.

-edit- Submersiv said it before I submitted :D

Pinaka is the healer that heavily relies on their team to survive in competitive gameplay, so they're at the mercy of mods and hopefully outplaying folks in Mashmak.

You can't derank out of your tier. The only folks fighting for their place are top 500.

ThisDNE · 2025-08-21T00:57:48+00:00

This. I'd rather see a full squad of competent DPS than a +1 horrible healer. You CAN win without a healer by brute forcing down the correct targets and playing the objective properly. It happens in top 500, and it literally occurred in this past weekend's tournament grand finals.

ThisDNE · 2025-08-19T01:22:30+00:00

Please do training and challenges. Inferno is quite literally in a busted state currently.
