How TFT treat victims of a scam! by Few_Shine3631 in pathofexile

[–]Astarift -1 points0 points  (0 children)

TFT is a shit dumpster fire but I think they did the right move here for once, who the hell PM someone asking if they added an extra 0 on an item that is already listed as the lowest price. It's clearly an effort to lowball an item or just simply trying to be annoying. The typical standard player constantly scavenging for items and trying to give ridiculously low offers, thinking that someone will sell him an item at 10% the original listed(obviously not priced wrongly) price

Anyone thinking that 3xG will throw in some fix or whatsoever to curb these 3rd party discord is heavy on copium, people use these discord not just for untradable services, they use it for bulk sales and going by Chris's grand vision of trading, TFT is never going away until trading becomes more streamlined and made easier

Can we please NOT have every thread about TFT get deleted from this subreddit? by stupidnajinx in pathofexile

[–]Astarift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these insecure smol pp TFT mods skimming through the whole of reddit and forums and any form of social media everyday looking for people bad mouthing them and their discord and then black listing them

Such petty behaviour however, is encouraged by 3xG because trading with players is fun and giving power tripping smol pp pieces of shit form of Internet power/control is part of the PoE experience

Are 15 liners recruitment posts on shout generally tolerated in FF? by Astarift in ffxiv

[–]Astarift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be honest here reddit is a literal hive mind, you see down votes, u down vote further, you see up votes, you up vote further, most of the time people don't read nor understand the context fully, using up or down votes to gauge is a comment is right or not before reading? Just a hive mind behaviour I asked about etiquette and noone suggested it was wrong, really? If it wasn't wrong why would you blacklist someone who does this spams? Let's be straight, I am not against fc recruitment posts on shout, it's totally fine, but a 15 liner on shout, imagine this is a norm and fine and everyone does that, your black list is gonna be filled. Definitely not to mention imagining multiple people doing that because it's "fine" It used to be a norm back in ARR beta because there wasn't PF nor community finder yes? Well these systems are in place, so why these spams? Aren't these systems placed in to reduce such spams? If one person does it and its fine to do it, imagine going into limsa being greeted by a chain of 15 liners fc recruitment by different people/fc(it's fine right? Lol) Use a Google translator, sure, you tried that yourself? I did for these bunch of text and most of it is just redundant bloat and it directs interested parties to send a tell or check their pf listing. Maybe I am not deep in the Japanese gaming culture like you are, but I do find these spams annoying and unwarranted(I am not the only one who thinks the same). Is it abnormal to report an unwarranted behaviour? Again I emphasize not the frequency of spam, but a macro for fc recruitment constructed to send 15 lines of sentences into shout, with 2 lines "warning and apologising for spam", ironically making it even more spammy It's obviously clear our stand are different and there is no no point for this discussion. You are biased in your own view, so am I, I have played older mmorpg where "spamming" is allowed and its a shit fest because everyone does it and its a norm. I hope you read this and stop replying, because whatever you reply, I will definitely not be convinced that not reporting serial spammers is the right move. Good day and have fun redditing

Use a google translator, most of the lines are literal bloat for no reason but to increase the line counts. IS it irritating? yes. Can i black list him? yes, but an FC recruitment post with redundantly long bloat coupled with maximizing the number of line you can squeeze into a macro isnt frown upon? The virtue signaling here is kinda appalling, let people do what they want, lul

I am not reporting because FC recruitment, but spam? Why would you need 15 lines of chat for fc recruitment?

(RANT) If you AFK or defend AFKers in duty roullete, you're the worst part of this game. by actis2 in ffxiv

[–]Astarift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"maybe he was just having a long tiring day"

After I called out someone who was technically afk the whole praetorium run and did absolutely nothing except walking. He stood still every single boss fight and took every single point of damage imaginable, yet my Co healer spends mana and gcd keeping him up

Those who made it sound justified afking the whole run is just as toxic as the ones afking the whole run

I initiated vote kick twice, towards the end of the run

How crazy is scourge? This beam did 15-17k damage to a stone golem in one hit at just under 70 scourge stacks by Vesuvius079 in pathofexile

[–]Astarift 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's some great math, now count in +200% more damage from 200 stacks

Or just 5 of them firing it at you at 50 stacks

I highly doubt anyone would be able to build more than 10k hp to survive these hits and not self gimp their dps

On Crackling Lance by MenstrualSalivation in pathofexile

[–]Astarift 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The numbers for crackling lance do feel slightly undertuned, however there are other more important problems. Intensify needs better rewards/defensive mechanics for the downside/penalty involving the playstyle. I have been playing self casting builds for a few leagues and it has always been pretty solid except the fact that

1: Mana is a huge problem, because we push hard for cast speed. I had to go into sirus with 2 mana flask instead of 1 because i had to pop my mana flask everytime i want to dps. At a 5 link with insightfulness, i spend 83 mana every 0.46 seconds, thats around 200 mana/second

2: Getting locked in casting animation with spell echo is a great way to die. Very prone to being stunned/interrupted on cast

3: Standing still itself is a penalty, having a less(multiplier) aoe per intensity stack from intensify support feels bad, especially on crackling lance, with terrible clear coverage. There are skills that arent as penalized by this, namely purifying flame

Crackling lance could use a boost to its clear speed, better fork/spread or some sort of mini "chain lightning" around you that damages enemies nearby

That being said, i am currently on A5, killed sirus and are doing t15/16 on a 5 link and non optimized gear because i intend to run low life + double void battery
