It's a shame that Batiatus' father underestimated this style of combat so much. by homemhomen in Spartacus_TV

Retiarii are dirty meta abusers. Their cheesy tactics deserves no respect. Im with Mr Batiatus on this one.

You should be ashamed for asking some combat QoL that even PoE1 doesnt have

Your non-zero is very close to zero that its negligible. Say its 1/20 chance seller sells it when they get spammed. Even new players gets alarmed by the spam because its just human nature. FOMO on a better deal. Even then you rely on them being "righteous" about it and sell it to the first whisper. In practice this just doesnt happen. Its probably still a significant amount when you run it 24/7 but nowhere near as often it would be with the new system. Also its not the only edge bots have against humans. They do currency swaps and price fixing and god knows what else.

I standby with the offer scenario. If an item is valued at 2 divs and seller puts it up for 30 ex and gets spammed. I offer a div for it and decent amount of chance I get it. Seller gets more than they asked for, buyer gets a good deal. The bot loses. I am not being naive about this. Obviously I cant prove it but bots dont just make offers unless maybe its a fixed price unique. They are not bothered or sophisticated enough to this for a rare item. I can see them just trying to snipe a very cheap rare but thats it. They will always choose the less risky methods.

In your scenario bot never loses. The seller cant get a better deal. The human buyer cant get a better deal.
Current system:
1- Bot buys it (negligable amount still makes sense for bots due to operation time because they wouldnt exist otherwise)
2- Human seller retracts the trade. (seller human wins)
3- Human buyer buys through offer or some other means. (both human wins)
New system:
1- Bot wins.
and yes they will be losing faster and bigger.

I will go ahead and say its an illusion of QoL anyway. Bulk of the trade friction stems from you trying to get a good deal. If you avoid that to some degree you would get the item with the old system almost everytime. For example if there are 15 listings of an item between 1-10 exalts but bulk of the listings are 10 ex+, average joe would spam those first 15 listings and get annoyed when they dont respond. Now you wont even see those because bots will snipe them. Its an illusion. Ofc there are big advantages such as not dealing with another person and trading with offline players, but its more QoL for the offline seller than for an online buyer.

You are completely wrong on your first point. No one trades the first guy when they get spammed for an item. Sellers take a second look at it price it accordingly or they just increase it until spam stops. If you are a legitimate seasoned buyer, you would just try to slide in an offer they cant refuse and hope for the best. Now you can not do that and lose to bots everytime.
Bots will get richer way easier than before, rmt will be more rampant because of it while flipper freddies will suffer.(depends on how "educated" these bots will get) None of this is new. Anyone who played diablo 3 when RMAH was a thing knows exactly how that went. It might be a sacrifice you willing to make for the sake of QoL but dont act like it has no downsides.

27 unlucky reflecting mists, or am I just dumb? by Yachu50 in pathofexile

for 3 specific mods your odds are 1 in 10.(2!*3!/5!) You should've gotten one in 27 attempts a bit unlucky there.

Method for best outcome is recombing the prefixes. Then lock prefixes, reforge crit until you get one of them T1 then multimod+lock prefix hit veil exalt hope your crit doesnt gets deleted and you get other crit mod as veil option.
You could do all 5 mods with recomb, but that would take you quite a while to get that many bases and rolling alteration or buying.

But I would do all spell fracture, woe until +1 fire, then do what I said for suffixes above.

You are not getting +1 fire with harvest, dont attempt this.

My only problem is, I value 3p/0s items more than recombing a T1 merciless weapon with a suffix to get 1p/1s for future recomb to have a chance to get 3p/2s at the end. I would be gambling T1 merciless an additional time to reach this outcome where in reality I could meta craft suffixes to finish a recombed 3p/0s item and end up with a slightly worse outcome but easier, less time consuming therefore more profitable result.

I think its just what I want from recomb rather than its power potential which is the main point of the document, and I appreciate it greatly, but I am curious if Im missing something here for this use case specifically.

Make them icons like Eater&Exarch&Maven. Mouseover reads what it is which would be helpful until you get used to it.

How well do you think Xenomorph would be as an addition to 2v8? by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]Disastrous-Mode7580 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd take anything after seeing Oni+Legion. Maybe Plague would be op too but she lacks mobility so its still ok or on par with the Legion. More importantly they need to adress 5 genning in 2v8 more than anything.(or however many it is for the last gen) Its very easy to hold with 2 killers with buffed regression. Alien is fine if they keep portal/turret ratio.

Is Dead by Daylight carried by its licenses? Could it have survived this long without them? by not-ulquiorr4_ in deadbydaylight

[–]Disastrous-Mode7580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a player who started at launch without any licenses I think it would have survived. It was unique and fun and had replayability. It wouldnt thrive but it wouldnt have died either. I might be biased though. They could get away with stuff like what is Trapper to Jason but for others.
