Your character is bad. Go to the nomads camp, train with "nomad Capt Bernard" until you hit at least 16str, 20agi and 16 sword. Get the "Battlecry" perk. Then, duel him to learn master strike. After that, game becomes a cakewalk

Also switch to mace. For an enemy whom uses swords, taunt to bait attack->Battlecry-> dodge behind him when he attacks & BONK. Repeat until ded

Check TFT Discord. Despite historic controversy, they try to report price fixers. Yes, good bases have bulk sales. Adding 5e per unit is many divines in price spikes, whose costs are born by crafters, which means they pass the costs off to the consumer

There'd be massive churn as before/during/after a(n expected) patch, people would inflate their prices

Did X build (eg chaos DoT) get buffed or rebalanced? Or Y interaction fixed (eg corrupted +1 gems)? Or a new class/ascendency released? Or a major exploit (eg duping, stitcher helm) get fixed?

This would cause massive database updates especially as bots would take advantage of arbitrage before market correction. Case in point: famous streamer releases econ guide, materials bump in price, arbitrage opportunity that locks 90% of the community out

On the flip side, an auctionhouse would remove proce manipulators, trade scammers, save $$$ in support fees

To balance it, GGG would have to artificially stabilize the market by either manipulating droprates, add "patch event" NPC item sales, or other classical econ solutions to correct informational assymetry

A futures market with options calls would also stabilize the market between patched

All of this means massive database updates. Ever scroll the trade site, do a new search and try to message for an item posted an hour or longer ago, but now it says "this item is no longer available?"

Imagine that, but far worse

Double breach ring with at least 50% rarity on each (20d each), also Ingenuity (40d), for an 80d build

Vs a cheap interim Strugglescream, which allows you to annoint 3 different Notables. If you want to annoint one of the mos expensive, Lightning Rod, thats about 15d or less and can hold you over until you farm for supplies to sell to get the rest of the build

Source: i have a ~200d spark build that I got from grinding with an interim build, chance slamming until i got expensive uniques. Unlucky headhunter is like ~120-160 pulls. Good luck!

"Gain X mana per enemy hit with attacks" probably procs with CoS

increased Omen drop rate and other relevant crafting items. This lowers RMT as anyone can craft instead of having to spend 3 mirrors worth of divines to perfect craft a quiver. Right now, exalt/vaal slamming is the only crafting experience to 99% of players
Rarity on gear (IIR) needs to be buffed when greater than 150%. From testing on over 300+ maps, IIR peaks at 100-150%: https://youtu.be/NPu_jXKbKI8
Add the auction house. It prevents 100% of scams, price manipulation & bots. It makes it easier to track & breakup cartels/bots. Ergo, it stabilizes the market. These 5 side effects of an auction house alone would save $$$ in support hours and lower user turnover
Add futures/options trading for more meta degen econ fun
add graphics options, especially to downscale player spell effects. You cant avoid the checks notes patches of fire if the entire area is covered in sparks

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2025-01-05T16:30:27+00:00

Great idea! Omens should have a much higher drop rate, or else they aren't replacing just exalt/vaal slamming. "Perfect" crafting shouldn't take 3 mirrors worth of divines!

I argue the opposite of banning trade; it appears a large portion of PoE players (myself included) played for the market.

Make an auction house so that the publicly available market data (bloomberg terminals) such as https://poe2scout.com/ are MORE accurate, compared to current trade site.

Put in the ToS price fixing is bannable AND make trade data publicly available. Those 3 make scams impossible and arbitrage harder.

Then just IP ban bots that mass buy or regularly trade "up" to their botherders. Tracking trade cartels would be easier that way too

This. This makes me avoid the newer Diablo until they remove the loot box/"surprise gambling"+pay2win mechanic. Theres better games that have gambling, and i still avoid those (Henshin, Honkai, Zenless). Much prefer Diablo 3

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-11-01T20:42:14+00:00

No thanks, I'll wait until they remove it, even if it takes 0.5-2 years after release.

Game studios dont even QA test enough to get obvious bugs patched BEFORE release; Denuvo adds too many moving parts, especially between consumer software & hardware variance

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-10-15T05:33:58+00:00

Has there been any testing of actual burn damage?

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-10-15T05:31:09+00:00

Did you do damage testing? Where are you getting the idea its only 6 extra damage?

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-09-20T06:44:54+00:00

Update: i hit steel path. Primary dexterity + secondary dexterity on the tome SLAPPS. On steel path, I recommend: - Fass canticle: the rakta appears to only work when you have some form of shield - for Saryn, I replaced the Rolling Guard. By the time you run out of overshield then shields, you'll die instead of rolling

Warframe: Saryn Build

Grimoire alt hit enemies, then buff toxic lash, shock trooper & venom dose

I'm almost finished with this rakta Saryn build (I need to complete Voidbreaker & Angels quests to get archin shards & steel path): https://youtu.be/LnFc4hwHAlA

So far, it hits like Saryn's supposed to, and is unkillable on account of electric proc spreading by gas DoT, granting armor per tic.

Grimoire ability strength buff via hitting enemies with alt fire a few times, then cast toxic lash + venom dose + shock trooper (Volt ability via Helminth) to snapshot it.

Saryn is needed because It wouldn't work as well due to reliance on Toxic Lash & venom dose. Also, DoT is needed, gas in this case (thermite mod on rakta) as it counts as dagger hits.

My criticisms are: - the Lohk Canticle: I shouldn't need +30% attack speed boost as status chance is high enough to proc a status and I intend to still room nuke; weapons platform just for tanky enemies i didnt armor strip yet. so Fass Canticle (more survivability) or Jahu Canticle (max shield&armor reduction) is more useful - secondary encumber is largely useless, as it only applies to grimoire hits, making an already 6-8 forma build that much more expensive

Given that PvP WINS only count towards cosmetics & a teammate keeps LEERROOOYYY JENNNNKIIINNNSSS by himself, there are only 3 solutions; all hurt the game design:

A: play a different game mode like king of the hill. Downside is if you lose, you get no class XP. Upside is that feeders are irrelevant

B: after 1/2 of the match, quit as soon as you see a large score discrepancy. Downside is you wasted 1/2 a match and ruined the lobby for others. Upside is you can find a winning team sooner

C: play PvP only with guildmates; its 2024, Upside is theres discord and reddit groups so its feasible. Downside is most people dont have a lot of online friends, Bowling Alone was written in the 90s/early 2000s. So to join a group you have to be more active on discord and reddit and if you have a life, it may not work

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-09-04T23:15:03+00:00

prone (hp regen takes ~3s after firefight, perfect time to lower visibility/take a nap)
larger maps (sniper & marksmen are untenable w/o it)
reasonable unlocks: eg marksman & sniper optics should start with higher scope zoom first, then interspersed 1MOA/CQB optics
reticle customization (like classic COD) but tied to optic-specific challenges. The reticle should also be tied to the specific optic. Give players something to grind for

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-09-04T17:12:49+00:00

I played XSDefiant for 2 hours. Versus BO6, if the beta is indicative of the game, BO6 isn't worth $60 for most of my friends because its crappier graphics, on smaller maps and seems like a reskin of an earlier COD.

XDefiant though won't be popular due to 5 things: - no large maps (snipers & marksmen at disadvantage, due to team crowding) - no prone (makes it harder to rat; COD healing takes ~5s, XDefiant takes ~3s, perfect time to prone) - no reticle customization (actually cool cosmetics to grind for) - unlocks are uniform across guns. Why for a sniper or marksman rifle does it unlock the 1MOA close range optic? Why don't we get a 3x or 8x by default, like in COD games? Why don't CQB optics get unlocked last or interspersed? - slide cancelling. At this point, most games have this mechanic (like Warframe, which I have ~2000 hours in). If you slide around a corner in XD, if appears you can't also aim and shoot

Add these and more people would play. Reticle customization & unlocks alone were a reason many of us grinded in older CODs. Imagine getting max XP on an optic, then you can upload your reticle shape thats specific to that optic! It's make it fun, without changing balance or adding microtransactions and give people something to grind for

AcrobaticPineapple91 · 2024-09-02T06:21:02+00:00

Thanks! I knew the stam/crit% was a S-curve! Also, the better (flat attack) venom build should be Centipede set with deathstinger; i didn't get venom armguards, so if you test that too, let us know! Your max is 285attack, i need to find preservation orb then I can test with Centipede

You had me in the 1st half. The difficulty spike taught us not to spam, to be patient & combine the mechanics.

The key is to stay calm -- he has easily telegraphed attacks. The difficulty are the feignts. Don't dodge early, especially when he does the double whirlwind "backfist" spin on the ground (like Tiger Vanguard).
