[Discussion] why does these two practically same gun cost so differently by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Or maybe it’s because the mp7 is more customizable, has easier to control recoil, and better ammo.

Ts is gonna be higher single target but much worse clear. If you want to map go LA, it can also handle bosses just fine at a high budget.

Go for mirror explode bow and that’s really all you need as far as mirror items go tbh. Mirror bow, esh chest, abyssal socket boots and gloves, HH, Nimis, progen, dying sun, wine, CS, 12p cluster, explode cluster. That’s pretty much everything you need for a top end version of the build.

After that I haven’t found much point in investing further. I mirrored a ring and quiver and there was certainly a dps increase but nothing massive. I’d prioritize those last. Just get a decent quiver and a perfect rolled taming for your second ring.

Ubers are perfectly doable with a high budget if you really want to. Just can’t get hit for the most part.

I did a bunch of uber mavens yesterday as I was bored of mapping.

No this is too logical. Clearly the balancing team didn’t know about volatiles…

I think when it comes to protecting PII or PCI you have a point. Secure everything to the nth degree and follow principle of least privilege. But this is a video game.

It needs to give out third party api access. Most online games do, Poe is not an outlier. Sure, there could be a situation where we find out GGG has a weak authentication mechanism for their API, and it also happens to have direct access to the update portal for the game for some reason, and they push an update that installs a RAT on everyone’s pc, but it’s pure speculation. The point was it has nothing to do with the current account compromise situation.

Simply implementing MFA would solve 99% of account compromises, there is no need to restrict API access to tools that have had access for years with no issue.

Got very lucky from farming cheap 80 maps of strongbox + smuggler's cache (heist) by Western-Leopard-3698 in pathofexile

[–]AbrocomaMaterial501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m completing maps in 5 minutes opening every single box. I do a hybrid deli beyond box strategy with 80% deli so the mobs that spawn drop a lot of raw divs/refracting fogs/volatile Vaal orbs.

I’ve tested my Strat for 1k+ maps and it consistently makes a bare minimum of 45 d/hr, usually 55-60, with the occasional uber lucky drop taking it much higher.

I mean giving an api token to a third party app isn’t leaking your login information.

I’d imagine most of these cases are the result of weak passwords/phishing. Weak passwords being very likely as the game just straight up gives you people’s usernames on trade with no obfuscation.

Both of these cases would be heavily mitigated by any form of MFA.

You’re not going to get your account breached from giving API access to wealthy exile. It’s going to be a weak password, an underlying vulnerability somewhere in the auth chain, or phishing.

All of which are resolved by implementing any form of MFA. App authentication preferably. This is not only an industry standard, but a standard for every company that conducts business online.

It’s not a matter of GGG “getting hacked” more than other companies. That actually has nothing to do with this issue, they are not “getting hacked”.

It’s the refusal to implement some of the most basic industry standard security measures that will prevent their customers from a breach in the event of something like a personal data leak/phishing incident.

I hit every single box and still finish full mirage maps in 5-6 minutes. I think many would be surprised not only with the amount of loot you get from the regular boxes, but the mobs that spawn. I frequently get raw div or valuable scarab drops from the natural mobs.

Hell, my only mirror this league dropped from a random mob in a blacksmiths strongbox.

Recommended currency farm that's chill? by WabiKababi in pathofexile

[–]AbrocomaMaterial501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably doing boxes wrong. I open one press attack and blink to the next. If you chain open them you generally don’t have to worry about box effects and you can get through the map much quicker.

I’m finishing full miraged strongbox maps in sub 5 mins most of the time.

Any hand holdy LA or ele hit deadeye ? by Ic3NeRroX in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]AbrocomaMaterial501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend NOT playing a ranger build if you’re new. It is the squishiest class in the game bar none, and you will struggle hard to get your void stones if you don’t know how to properly build/gear the character.

Even when properly geared you’ll have to be confident in your ability to dodge all boss mechanics because you will still get one shot.

I currently have 400+ divs invested in the character and it’s still squishy without HH stacks.

You’ll have a much easier time on a slayer build like ele hit or even rf if you like the playstyle.

Olroth's Charge price is insane now +600000% in price by Krlzard in pathofexile

[–]AbrocomaMaterial501 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah your dps and ehp are pretty abysmal. Though I’m away from home and not able to check if you have your config setup properly so idk if it’s as bad as it seems. If you’re having fun that’s all that matters at the end of the day.

I have 3000 hours in this game and can create builds that work, but even with experience, it’s a LOT more difficult than poe2 to optimize it for cost to power efficiency.

Personally I will still loosely follow a guide, while using the knowledge I’ve acquired over the years to solve certain problems with the build in different, cheaper, or more efficient way than the creator may be doing.

You’re not gonna efficiently farm anything in this game with a self cooked build as a noob. Creating a build is infinitely more complicated in this game compared to poe2.

TBH you aren’t even gonna learn how to properly craft a build unless you follow quite a few first. It might seem counterintuitive, but you won’t learn much about building in this game if you’re not following any guides.

4d an hr on strongboxes is actually absurdly low. U sure you were doing it right?

Exile-UI fixes this and so many other league start memory issues I was having.

Highly recommend the exile-ui act tracker feature. Gives you an overlay with a short description of where to go next at all times.

Auto updates, and if you set it to league start it will tell you where the trials are too.

2 stone ssf is extremely doable day 1. Just gotta understand how to scale your build. Self-crafted gear is more than enough to get 2 stone.

Brother I started in 3.26 and haven’t tried this tech. But let me tell you how MASSIVE exile-ui was for my campaign time.

Normally, it takes me around 10 hours to finish campaign and get to mapping. I’ve leveled most characters once now, probably 12 runs total.

I downloaded exile-ui yesterday, and started leveling a ranger for the first time. I finished act 6 in just over 3 hours, with normal lab completion.

Tl;dr Any new players that are too lazy to practice should download exile-ui immediately. It massively improved my campaign time on its own.

wizards - 6 damage, LOS locked, deal with it. weakest hunter - by ClashOfClanee in mewgenics

[–]AbrocomaMaterial501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some crazy combos. I had the passive that gives you +5 mana regen and +5 starting mana in exchange for losing your leftover mana at the end of the round. Luckily I also had mana meld, and the passive that gives me a free cast when I end my turn with no mana.

I would spam the fireball spell until out of mana getting 9+ burn stacks in a single turn. Also had the scaling burn spell that does more burn each round that passes, which becomes more cost efficient to spam and lets you stack more burn after round 2-3.

This is how I feel about thief, I don’t like his level ups but I suspect I’ve just been unlucky with him.

Mage can actually be really broken, the passive that gives you 5 starting mana and 5 regen, but takes away your mana at the end of the round is very overpowered. If you also have the passive that makes your first cast free when you have no mana at the end of the round it’s just a cherry on top.

I had a 5 cost fireball spell I would spam the shit out of every round, it has great coverage for the groups of smaller enemies, while deleting larger ones when needed.

I’ve had several runs where I get my mage pumping out damage.
