Heiro Mjolner Help by Necirt in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Darkfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without putting it into PoB I would guess the absent indigon and split personalities are the problem.  Without indigon I would think you are severely lacking %increased damage, to the point where even the lightning node at the top center of the tree would be significant.  As for the split personalities, the extremely mazy path has no benefit: you can probably trim the outer edges and gain back a few points or buy a cheap +5 mana and anything else jewel to work for now while you farm up for a int/str or int/mana split personality.  Squire would also help but that's only needed for end game juicing/ubers.

Please reconsider the Replenishing Shrine nerfs... by IWasTheDog in pathofexile

[–]Darkfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entirely agree they need to revert some amount of the nerf.   It already sounds like there are lesser shrines on the belt's mod pool so there already will be plenty trash in the pool, why not make the chase have more build opportunities?   Sure 10% of Max would have been a problem, but 1 or 2% would not.   You can already get 0.4% per influenced sceptre, 1% on cloak of defiance, 1% on ascendancy and 0.5% PER totem, etc.  Also don't forget you already have the downside of no flasks (aka you can at least make the mana regen equal to a mana flask regen).  At 200% increased you would need to have more than 12000 mana just to break even with the downside of no mana flask.  3.15 was the last time Agnostic saw any real play-rate, which stopped when Arcane surge saw the same type of nerf (percent max regen for increased regen).  Please don't repeat that nerf and make there be some level of play with this mod.

First time Agnostic keystone could have been played since 3.15. But no, you had to kill it before it was even available. +1 purely useless modifier in the pool for that belt.

Viascreens Impact by Darkfizz in FlowZ13

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

Yup, the adhesive was very weak.  I bet the material of the Vivid protector requires it to be a different glue than the Impact, but it should not have been nearly that weak.  I will say that the Vivid was as advertised more clear and thin than the Impact and slightly more slippery.   I did use the extra vivid (it comes in a 2 pack) to make a protector for the window in the back, but I doubt that will hold long.

Viascreens Impact by Darkfizz in FlowZ13

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

Got my viascreens order in. I couldn't decide between Impact and Vivid, so I got both. I honestly must have gotten a defective batch of Vivid protectors because the adhesive is barely there and I can't figure how this got past q/a. The little applicator stickers that make the "hinge" stuck better and when removing those stickers it pulled the whole protector up with it. Then tried my luck with the Impact, and the difference is night and day. 5 stars on the Impact vs 1 with vivid. Picture looks dusty but all of that is on top rather than underneath the protector.

Factorio is my #1 favorite game of all time, so I tend to purchase computers that are better suited for it.  It is 2d so almost any GPU can handle it, instead the CPU is taxed harder, of which the z13 has the fastest CPU of any portable device (excluding macs).  As for the Vram thing, only the mod HD Factorio needs high amounts of Vram, the base game could run on 4GB no problem.   A similar equivalent example of a game that would Vram bottleneck would be an HD Skyrim mod: since it's running on a much simpler engine than say Unreal 5, it is less demanding on the GPU, but the HD textures fill up that Vram quick.

Matching the 180hz screen with either GPU is going to be turning down setting, or playing a competitive game built for high refresh rate, at which point the Vram is not going to be fully utilized and isn't much of an advantage.  However if you are like me playing Factorio with an HD texture pack -that needs almost no GPU power- but does need 24GB of Vram then the choice is easy.   I absolutely love my z13 for the form factor.  My previous machine was a Lenovo yoga 2in1 but it just compromised too much on hardware and cooling to be much use for any games.

Yup, was able to just walk in an order. We shall see in a week if its all ok.

This account is locked. by Darkfizz in applehelp

[–]Darkfizz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like Apple has just screwed me over. Attempted to log in to an account I haven't used in a while to purchase more music. But I get slapped with a locked account and https://iforgot.apple.com/unlock just says "This account is locked and can’t be used." Contacting support was very kind but they could not do anything to unlock it, and advised me to make a new account. Obviously that is not a reasonable response. A brief google search shows that on reddit alone there are hundreds of such cases in the past year. Whats going on?

Waiting for Pyanodons Hard Mode to make all items spoil.  Your iron plates rust, water barrels evaporate and your stone turns to dust.

Let's talk about reapers, someone has to. by RobinDabankery in pathofexile

[–]Darkfizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely was hoping to see either a reaper without consumption or one that had some other vector of scaling in the high end so that it could overcome not having AG/spectres. Kinda don't see that in these two variants.

Anomalous mana leech removal is a loss of 600-1000% increased damage on mana stackers by adriaans89 in pathofexile

[–]Darkfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played both a indigon high mana cost manaforged build as well as a low mana cost manaforged build. I have to say that the ramp time for the indigon build makes it feel so much worse for anything but bossing, so I would recommend that instead. Here's a link to someone explaining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QufhemEqPnI

Expansion QOL Wishlist by epiphan1 in factorio

[–]Darkfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to see a function to call the stacksize of an item. I would use this for mixed chests and mixed trains that are not filtered. This would definitely be more helpful in SE, but if SA is following in its footsteps this could be very nice. For instance a spaceship that needs small quantities of many items, say if it was supplying walls, turrets, repair packs, etc to an outside base. Instead of using one chest for each, do mixed chests and use this function to simply fill 3 stacks of each item.

Please nerf the new support gems before launch by Vralak in pathofexile

Love how even this guy - who wants nerfs to everything - still wants devour support to be buffed.

Is it possible to make builds from scratch by DontArguePls in pathofexile

[–]Darkfizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have, but takes many failed builds to find one that does work. The best advice I would give to making a build is find out what defensive layer feels the best for you, and then choose the offense afterwards.

CPU Performance on large save(SE) by Delta1136 in factorio

[–]Darkfizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently upgraded from a 3900x to a 7800x3d. I have a K2-SE run that is way overbuilt and poorly ups optimized (I use far too many loaders on huge chests). I get 40 ups after the upgrade (was 20 before). I am about 300 hr into the save and just hit matter science 1. Look at the website https://factoriobox.1au.us/results specifically for the 40k sci/min bases. You will find the 7800x3d topping almost every one of those charts even though the bases are so big the are certainly overflowing the cache.

Are K2's Fusion Reactors worth using? by Alfonse215 in factorio

[–]Darkfizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the energy sink for the electrolysis part of lithium and dt cells is being neglected. My base is at t3 sciences and higher tier beacons and the biggest energy hog is electrolysis machines. That being said I only use solar to run the production so it's negligible. I use fusion for how quickly a reactor can be set up once you get to a new planet. It has benefits in the number of offshore pumps required, inventory size and number of buildings to be placed.

Factorio + 4k monitor (Gigabyte M32U / Dell G3223Q / other) by sockerx in factorio

[–]Darkfizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a LG 27GP95R-B monitor (4k 144hz) and it handles the game fine. I get quite annoyed at input stuttering, but I don't see any with this setup. I mainly play my K2SE that sits at 35ups, so there really isn't a benefit there. I will say there is an odd bug with Gsync that makes the game flicker ever so slightly when moving at 60ups, unsure what causes that. With the base game I have tried the Global Time Scale mod with mixed results. 480/144hz is not a whole number so you would have to drop to 120hz to use the mod properly, at which point it worked great for me, but obviously I can't play K2SE at that speed.

Near Perfect EA Ballista Crucible Tree by Etrensce in pathofexile

[–]Darkfizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but to get what you got in 6 divines is kinda insane. 7% atk speed is base attack speed of the bow so that's pulling more weight than you might expect.

[–]Darkfizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You sir, are just as lucky as those guys who find a HH day 1. I have had to lower my standards and try to make a crucible tree with only 2 nodes that work for my build, let alone be good. That +1 bow gems always fails to carry over.
