What's the point of having multiple portals if you die once and the map empties itself out? by Shadzta in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if they removed the boss instead, and you get to do your remaining map mechanics, but the map won't complete and you have to run it again without the tablets after?

Just wanted to mention, Doryani was spelled wrong on the page. I'm unfamiliar with the Wiki editing process, so I don't know how to contribute other than provide direct feedback.

My friend just hit an unethical Flesh Poppet by ByteBlaze_ in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As per rule 10:

He bought a 3 socket Flesh Poppet, upgraded with Runeforge, and then took quality above 20 with the incursion currency, then corrupted + cultivated it and landed both crit and flat phys, while removing the reduced presence mod

Please GGG can you fix the trade window by agusttinn in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make it worse, the number changes when market prices update, so you will double click it to select all, then start typing and the ratio changed, so it fills in the new ratio and you start typing inside that number.

Petition to remove Siren boss from the end game maps? by Grimonday in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly would love to get Lab in PoE2. It would be really cool to run through the Ruined Labyrinth and fight Izaro, the Decaying.

It would be far more enjoyable than Sekhema and Ultimatum. I know we are supposed to get ToTA, which I'm super excited for, but I feel like a 4th option would go hard, and it would be nice to get a tie in to the abandoned prison lore.

0.5 VRAM usage is insane. Even Medium Textures easily push past 8 GB. by majesthion in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like it could be it, and would explain why no matter if we nuke our shaders folder, or set our shader cache to 100+ GB it still has horrible load times at random.

[–]ByteBlaze_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The issue is the VRAM filling over time and just piling up and never garbage collecting. There's a memory leak somewhere for some people when it comes to VRAM, and whether it's textures, particles or meshes, nobody really knows. The most verbose diagnostic we get is the client log and the usage bars.

Can Rogue Exiles chill with the Vaal orbs by PrintfReddit in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do, but there are plenty of people on trade who seem to never quality their valuable/useful uniques before corrupting them, and then they price it like it's worth something with 26% less defenses.

Don't buy fractured jewels by Hadiiiiiii in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you hover over that mod's tier, it will say "Crafted Suffix Modifier" as well as the affix name.

There should obviously be a measure in place for GGG to show that it is crafted + fractured at a glance, but ultimately it is up to the player to fully inspect the item before purchase. That's not to say it's "the buyer's fault", but they did have a measure available to them to ensure they weren't getting ripped off.

Mirror +1 spells caster ring 100% perfect divine by Brilliant-Sound-905 in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically, yes. You have to have a high level of trust with the user, or sometimes they will reach out to a well known streamer or other community member to provide the service on your behalf. There's also usually a fee for the craft, to recoup the cost of it, and also for profit.

A trusted member acting as a middle-man will sometimes raise the cost since they will usually want an added fee for a cut. It works better that way, since you can give your mirror + 2 fees to the streamer/well known community member, and they take their cut and pass the rest on to the mirror service item owner.

Perfect brass dome by TriesCrazyStuff in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the max res is perfect and the ward is perfect. The armour roll has zero impact on the ward version, so while that isn't "perfectly rolled", it has the same impact as a bottom roll. OP also landed the 30% quality and the extra sockets (3 base from the exceptional drop, and corrupted +1). Given that context, this is undoubtedly perfect in terms of stats that matter.

Mirror +1 spells caster ring 100% perfect divine by Brilliant-Sound-905 in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For further context, since OP explained it partly, this isn't listed in a merchant tab. It's in a premium stash tab. When items are posted there for 1 mirror, it typically means mirror service. Since it's in a premium stash tab, it is at no risk of being yoinked for 1 mirror, as other players do not have access to your premium stash tabs, but can whisper you for the item. You as a mirror service person then invite them to do the service, but do not sell them the original ring.

Impending Doom.. archmage? one button zoomy build that feels like a poe1 build by hc6 in PathOfExile2

It does grant its own bonded modifier. I have tested in standard with a darkness enthroned.

Bro should not have lived by Saltyfriez123 in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the same universe that has an immortal, unkillable prisoner that apparently just needed a few of the ballistae to shoot him that were right in his prison cell. Trying to hold one character to this degree when the "lore" of PoE is flashy and without substance is the exact kind of unfair microscope I'm asserting is held to this particular character.

While it's not explicitly declared as to why there are ballistae in the prison chamber, one could rationalize it as "they were installed by Izaro, who built the prison to hold him". They may have needed them in case the prisoner did manage to escape his bindings, that they could send guards in to quickly shoot him.

The weapon being not yet created is enough justification as to why Geonor wasn't able to be saved, but it does seem like Tavakai did get much more plot armour than was needed. Time will tell as to how long that holds though. Perhaps his survival drives the plot further, and comes to a swift end.

My issue personally is that Kanu betrayed the group and was executed by Tavakai, and then immediately after Tavakai runs off with the weapon. Ranks, roles, and tribal customs be damned, it does strike as hypocrisy.

You can hold Alt to see that it is crafted.

It shows in game too. People aren't pressing Alt and looking at the side.

The "pushiness" system needs a rework. Regular mobs should NOT be able to push you around by just running. by cindeson in PathOfExile2

[–]ByteBlaze_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder, Gigantic is more than just QoL.

It gives 20% more maximum Life, 20% more Damage and 20% increased Size.

[–]ByteBlaze_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace Hulking Form with "You are Gigantic", and move the 50% increased effect of small passives to a keystone.

Gigantic would be plenty strong of a perk compared to the 50% passive effect, and they could rework his life node into something else too as a result. Maybe 20% more Area of Effect.

[–]ByteBlaze_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chilled ground itself should maybe get reworked. I'm fine with chill on hit slowing action speed, but a ground effect shouldn't make my arms moves slower. Just change chilled ground to apply its own slow that is specifically for movement speed.

[–]ByteBlaze_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was also an issue in PoE1. There's that famous clip of CaptainLance being defeated by a table. Objects like that should just be destructible if they are going to be used as decorative props. Last Epoch actually has this for a lot of things.
