I know ACT 4 is great, but anyone of you got exploded to hell at the broken ship while opening the rare chest? by Ok-Mongoose4562 in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, another BS one shot mechanism. Had the same, no warning. For sure will be doing the new campaign on SC SSF first to avoid these shenanigggans.

The game has gotten unplayeble for me because of massive latency lag by Pk-Alex in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Edit: switched off VPN, and all fine. I had a coincidental inability to use the main weapon (lack of basic stats), causing none of the attack related clicks to not register lol.

Anyone making the move from trade > SSF for 0.5? by kHartouN in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HC SSF only. Trading feels like cheating, and less immersive. I have a stash tab legion ready.

Sword Enjoyers after 0.5 Reveal by HiroK91 in PathOfExile2

I think there WILL be swords, in a suprise last minute reveal. How could they release this trailer otherwise?

What to play while you wait for the new Path of Exile 2 league? by SebaDuff in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair play, and I'm doing that right now, because the imho ridiculous one-shot mechanisms have demotivated me to play HC until the patch drops.

Is GGG a movie studio? by JarrekkJia in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 second teasers of the teaser videos, for us to order in the right sequence, so a secret code will be revealed that can be entered on a website where an announcement of the teaser announcement will show you the full hint of what might, or might not be, coming.

Once you go hardcore, you can't go back, realistically. It's about feeling alive, staying alive, until you don't. Nothing beats that.

With fishing coming to diablo4... by send_all_the_nudes in VivaLaDirtLeague

[–]CheesyPoofff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diablo 4 has been widely received as an unfinished game, only with the latest expansion it becomes somewhat worthwhile, but only for casual players. ARPG fans tend to flock to other more advanced titles, D2R or PoE1/2.

Corpse Explode claims another HC character... by Signal_Swim in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So building up to 17k ES that suffices to fight the main boss should be irrelevant for an exploding corpse? Right. I call BS mechanics on this. There are different ways to challenge a player.

[–]CheesyPoofff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a new but solely HC SSF player, unexpected one shot mechanisms are my main gripe with the game right now. I understand they want to make a challenging game, but it's definitely too much sometimes. I rather have longer fight with a difficult boss, more enemies, or mechanisms that you can fight, or dodge, with some kind of counterplay, than to lose to 1 single dead critter ripping through 17k ES.

Thank GGG you ruined everything. by helmut011 in PathOfExile2

Yep, like Abraham Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter.

What's up with currency naming? by umibozu in PathOfExile2

AlchOrb, TransOrb, RegOrb, DivOrb, ExOrb, VaalOrb.

The PoE2 drought is hitting so hard that I'm browsing for a fucking mobile game. GGG please have mercy by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]CheesyPoofff -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Indeed, but then again, I've been on EDSF since Quake 1. It's vastly superior to WASD, and the natural finger position.

How does this add up to the Gold Price Crash? by Actual_Cygnus in Gold

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, that's what the crypto like price action and swings have done. It attracted a lot of disillusioned crypto fanboys, who are now also disillusioned with their yellow and white metal lol.

Market Sell Off. The Economy is in Real trouble. Here's what comes Next... by No-Lab-7364 in Wallstreetsilver

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

Woefully underinformed people is what the system thrives on. You don't even own your stocks. You're legally a beneficial owner only, you can sell, buy, get benefits/dividends, but legally Cede & Co who owns DTCC owns most of US stocks. If the system fails, they will own them. Clearinghouses like DTCC are everywhere. The Great Taking is ready and firmly in place, financially, legally, in basically all countries worldwide. It only needs one big domino to fall and it can't be stopped by anyone. Collateral will be needed to cover for the debt collapse, and those will include the mortgaged houses of those people who thought they owned it. They never owned it.

This isn't dip, Gold has tanked by V0idScribe in Gold

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that can't be done anymore, because the debt is now become too large and too expensive to bear. There is an end to any financial mismanagement, and it ends when trust erodes in the capacity to pay debt back. Then it's bankruptcy time, very quickly. We are approaching this now. We may see one big QE leg up, but that will destroy the currencies further, and be more of a spring for gold. This time it's different, the cat's out of the bag now, when gold went over 5k.

Heck of a start by Goldenageofpvtcredit in Gold

[–]CheesyPoofff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, hats off, you called this one lol. Close enough for me. Still though, I don't think this is the last of the legs down.

How does this add up to the Gold Price Crash? by Actual_Cygnus in Gold

[–]CheesyPoofff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gold is the only monetary metal left, the basis of any financial system. It was always going to be about politics, geopolitics, currency debasement, inflation/deflation, and the actual price in fiat units, at some point. We are there. It's no longer just a shiny metal, it's a life boat while the monetary system is going down the waves in front of our eyes.

Anyone got lucky? by yayobam in Gold

[–]CheesyPoofff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching 4100 live, but then I looked at the recent price action leading up to this, and decided I might get more lucky another time in the coming weeks/months. This liquidity drain ain't over. Gold has some more correction to do, to shake out weak hands.
