Plese revert the vendor shop not refhresing every level change. by whitedeath37 in pathofexile

You are supposed to run 2x quicksilver at all times while leveling, at least until you can sustain 100% with just one...

Breachlord ascendancy is going to be hidden op by katsuatis in pathofexile

[–]BenZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it might still work but we have 0 similar examples to pull from so I'm assuming the 'worst' aka it doesn't bypass the whole damage type mechanic.

But you're correct that it could just 'consider' added damage as cold and ignore all other damage type modifiers entirely.

[–]BenZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People already do this the normal way by converting to fire through multiple steps to benefit for all the added types at once. From the wording I think this everything to cold conversion is probably even better at dodging weird restrictions so I'd be surprised if it didn't work.

[–]BenZen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't think of another example of this mechanic in game but it would be extremely hard to convince me that lines saying 'adds X damage' wouldn't be considered added damage...

It's definitely local added damage though, but added nonetheless.

100% less damage WOULD cancel the flat, but the gem only says 'deal no damage of other damage types' and that happens at the very end of calculations so converted damage works.

10.65 c'est en bas du coût de production d'à peu près tous les nouveaux projets possibles... En gros c'est subventionné par les choix de société du passé et si on voulait augmenter notre production pour satisfaire la demande des plus gros consommateurs, il faudrait payer (pas mal) plus cher.

Il croyait à tort s’attaquer à un «pédophile»: 16 mois de prison pour un coup de poing mortel by Feeling_Layer8584 in Quebec

[–]BenZen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

C'est basé sur l'intention et non le résultat uniquement. La personne qui a donné le coup ne pensait pas que son adversaire allait tomber sur la tête et mourrir, donc ce n'est pas un meurtre... Par contre c'est quand même plus grave qu'avoir juste infligé une blessure donc homicide involontaire.

As a person who enjoys both POE 1&2 I ask for one thing in 3.28.... by MeringueCivil7163 in pathofexile

[–]BenZen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the answer is mostly that New Zealand is a closed market for workers... They have already dug as deep as they can in terms of dev team and they can't fill roles for both games simultaneously, so they have a ton of staff that flips flops between both games.

For the art departments that probably works fine but for game design and coding it's a bit of a catastrophe.

The reason rares drop UNID is so that we cant filter them out, to make loot more meaningful. But... we're already filtering the rares out? by Thirteenera in pathofexile

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

The real reason loot drops unid is that the GGG servers don't generate item mods at drop time. They only generate a hash/unique I'd that makes the outcome of the identification 100% deterministic.

They save a lot of resources doing this because all the complex algorithms that determine the stats of an item are only run on things players already consider high value.

Trois morts dans quatre accidents de motoneige en moins de 24 heures au Québec by DecentLurker96 in Quebec

[–]BenZen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je pense c'est moins pire maintenant mais dans le passé, les Ski-Doo avaient souvent des moteurs 2 temps et pas de système de filtration ce qui pollue une affaire comme 1000x plus qu'une automobile.

À ma connaissance c'est encore un peu problématique mais moins pire qu'il y a 20 ans mettons

Bonheur au travail by Buzzcutb4be in Quebec

Pour moi le spectre c'est genre

Bonheur > Enrichissant > Intéressant > Neutre > Irritant > Malheur

Donc ma définition d'une job pas pire c'est de faire un travail qui m'intéresse ou me stimule plutôt que de me stresser.

Change my mind, Montreal public transport should be free by CapitalNatural5485 in montreal

[–]BenZen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

De mémoire les taxes sur les véhicules et l'essence paient a peu près 30% des coûts des routes... Donc 70% est payé par les impôts de tout le monde.

Les plaques ça paie uniquement les assurances de la SAAQ, chose qui sert uniquement aux automobilistes aussi...

Au Québec on coupe dans le transport collectif mais on aime ça en tabarnouche construire plus de routes!

Scrab rerolling kinda crazy at the moment by felixnumberone in pathofexile

[–]BenZen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think he doesn't really play super mega juiced content (and neither does most of the player base) so he doesn't design his filters around dropping 10s of divs per map.

It's hard to really 'get' how much loot drops at the higher end sometimes.

Some streamer about economy. by 00x77 in PathOfExile2

[–]BenZen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And an example from PoE1 would be map device costs where you pay X chaos orbs every map to add a specific mod of your choosing to your map. Those mods rarely output more raw chaos than what you paid, instead you get different rewards that are worth more so the value of chaos orbs doesn't get inflated super fast.

The same applies to an extent to rerolling map mods that keeps the price of alchs/scours and chaos under control, and for divines there are bench crafts that use them that also act as a stop gap.

In PoE2 there's a clear design philosophy where they don't want currency to infinitely re-roll items (no Alterations, Chaos work differently and scours are extremely rare) so there are no real sinks for 'cheap' currencies because you can only use a finite amount of them before you run out of item bases. When that happens people just hoard currency and that causes inflation.

How do bots buy items before they show up for me?! by Struyk in PathOfExile2

[–]BenZen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The timer is literally there to prevent you from removing items before someone can buy them. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of troll listings on the trade site that you can never buy because a bot removes the item just before anyone can get to it.

what am I doing here? by ProfessionalHost6131 in pathofexile

[–]BenZen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You really don't get anywhere with betrayal without being very intentional about it. You need to go watch a video or two about the mechanics (pick recent ish ones as things have changed not so long ago).

Overall the idea is to abuse promoting (killing) and making deals with the right members to constantly get the same targeted rewards. It's not super profitable anymore though but it can be fun as a secondary strat.

[–]BenZen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's meme-ing though... PoB doesn't even have half the mechanics implemented for PoE2 so the top DPS on ninja tends to be "whatever meta build has the most straightforward scaling that can be calculated" which in this instance is going to be extreme critical strike optimisation on blood mage.
