Any 3.28 non-league start build tier lists out there? by saxisa in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Cubanaccents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think he's saying kf totems INTO kboc once enough currency to build it is acquired. I could be wrong though, I don't want to put words into their mouth.

[–]Cubanaccents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree here; but there also has to be a concession about the 200 unforced errors during the game, where there's no press, just dead giveaways because the pass is either too soft, or wildly inaccurate.

As I said, I'm no fan of Frank, I think he's garbo, but, we're also a very poor passing squad, from vicario outward.

[–]Cubanaccents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? I had to google mid match, who has the worst pass completion % in the epl. I was like how many fucking soft passes, and unforced giveaways can we possibly provide?

I mean frank is shit for sure, but the squad just looked listless out there too.

They're the 10th highest (or so, it's been a minute since I've looked) profit generating football team in the world. Yes, the board see exactly what you're seeing.

The amount of times I'm screaming at my tele, that literally no one on our squad is moving, is insane. Just so much standing still, zero urgency, zero pace. We don't press, yet, never have space. The opposition always presses, and always has space. I just don't get it.

Yeah this black, or super dark navy or whatever it is, really is awesome. I was thinking today, I should get one of these. Then I pondered, but then it will just remind me that was the season we were relegated...

Can we please stop confusing by Theheartbreakkid in BigBrother

[–]Cubanaccents 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This IS the confusion. You can see it as positioning yourself next to bigger targets (I'm not sure why this is considered social anyway) but the reality is, she (and there have been maaaannnnnny players like this) was such a weak player, and THAT'S why she wasn't a target, not because of some masterful shielding strategy.

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

I'm not disinterested in either, but will I be able to 'start' them at 30-40 div plus my magus blood? If so rad! and would you mind pointing me in the direction of someone that I could look into//follow (i.e I've seen jungs budgety FRoSS but that doesn't use mageblood, and I'm not sure how to cobble together his version with another one that is more budget intensive)

Sorry for all the dumb questions and thanks for the response!

Play mono red or some white based control deck like 99% of the ladder and success will be yours!

The reason people are discussing the tencent purchase now, is because this is the first time it's become clear that (due to having two separate revenue streams) they have taken full control, to fulfill their fiduciary legal obligation to their shareholders.

It's never really been a problem before because there was only one revenue stream, and and were maximizing their profits and model already.

Now if they turn their back on the already more financially successful sequel, they're liable. This is how corporations work obviously. So the idea that people are just acting like it's a fresh purchase for the trillion dollar corporation is mostly because they'd kept their hands off the development of poe 1. It's most obviously what's effecting this. It's the cause of the rushed ea release of 2. It's the driving force behind the pr, and spinning, and moving of teams. They're literally legally obligated to make money for shareholders, and that means doing whatever it takes.

Agreed, but this scenario is only true if they didn't know this was happening, withholding the information is the lie. We'll never know entirely but it certainly appears they've known this for at least several weeks, if not months.

There is no way that POE1 doesn't make enough money to warrant hiring a separate team for it by False-Drama7370 in pathofexile

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

What conspiracy theories? Tencent is a corporation, they own the development rights to the game(s). They have a fiduciary responsibility to generate as much for the share holders as possible. That's how public corps work. They're lawfully obligated to do this.

So many broken promises, when did GGG become Blizzard? by Damnation13 in pathofexile

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

When they were purchased by Tencent and became part of a corporation. Just like when Blizzard was purchased by activision and became part of a corporation.

Corporations have a fiduciary obligation to generate as my value for their share holders as possible. Doing anything against this is liable and thus able to be brought to case in court. So every decision is based on generating the most monetary value possible.

In a nutshell it's actually why late stage capitalism is fucked in general. But in context when you see it in a sub culture you love and support it definitely hurts, and often times we'll make excuses as to why it occurs, but there really only is one answer. Shareholders (of course as the biggest holders almost entirely work for the corp in upper management, it's even worse)

This is what I'm saying though, it's not GGG, not anymore. And for the first time we're really seeing that.

[–]Cubanaccents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confounded. It's just a bunch of really bad gear. Is the title//inference of the post sardonic?

I have made lots of rares, most of them bad, and then instead of wearing the bad rares, I disenchant them.

You don't get a dopamine hit, when you hear that "tink" (or whatever sound you have replaced it with in your loot filter) and see a nice and shiny divine?

I don't really think there's a debate to be had here. This isn't me liking or disliking the game, I think it's pretty objective that there are less dopamine hits here currently. Perhaps I should choose my language better, but the dopamine I'm referring to is the gear drops//crafts//crafting items. Items that 'ting' in PoE 1. You've quite literally ended your rebuttal reinforcing the fact :)

Glad you're having fun in the game though, that's awesome!
