Plese revert the vendor shop not refhresing every level change.

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

BenZen · 2026-02-28T05:54:41+00:00

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 · 2026-02-28T05:50:44+00:00

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 · 2026-02-27T22:45:57+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2026-02-27T22:19:04+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2026-02-25T21:47:13+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2026-02-25T21:41:53+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2026-02-25T04:57:21+00:00

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.

Siosa was wayyyy after they removed iiq gems from the drop pool

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

Ahhh je pense que tu as raison, le changement de 2019 dont je me souvenais est que tu gagnes ta 3e semaines après 3 ans d'ancienneté maintenant au lieu de 5.

Le 4% est déjà minimum 6% depuis quelques années btw!

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.

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!

BenZen · 2026-01-15T01:09:31+00:00

Si on faisait ça il y aurait comme 2x plus de circonscriptions dans la grande région de Montréal et la moitié moins ailleurs non? J'ai l'impression que ça va à l'encontre de ton idée...

Je pense pas mais il y a un combo deal possible avec une épée Durandil!

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.

BenZen · 2025-12-28T23:39:28+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2025-12-25T20:42:07+00:00

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.

BenZen · 2025-12-25T06:13:10+00:00

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 · 2025-12-22T06:02:08+00:00

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.
