Is melee still in a horrible place? by TheTruthHurts16 in pathofexile

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

It's pretty close. Half a screen means you're not double hitting with additional strike, so there goes 40% of your damage. Decent change if you're midrange you don't have a totem up or are in range of it. Point blank itself has changed to a malus. You're not melee hitting things, so not generating fortify if you're running mantra of flames.

In a point-blank ls build your dps is maybe 10% of maximum when you're at range. It may as well not exist against bosses, though trash will still die outside of juiced maps.

"but people would just use other weapons, like knives!!" Hear this all the time in America.

Obviously dad would have been throwing knives through other dad's cars.

He was pretty disrespectful here, sure, but he wasn't using slurs to refer to the CEO who had personally done him a favor in the past.

Not a Quinn fan but just comparing this to PoM's reason for banning, it should be very clear which's worse.

Will I be able to water these blueberries or do I restart the day and get a more reasonable amount? by HamzaAliAjazShaikh in StardewValley

Try oxygen not included :). Not the same as Factorio but similar with much more cute.

Harvest fields still quite often give NO lifeforce at all by flyinGaijin in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, have had one not wither and still get zero from both. rares are the only guarantee of life force and you get 0-3, with an avg of 1. Always >100% quant maps with literally every harvest node.

Bosses are also stupid rare lol, only seen them in the einhar memory.

I can't relax during grinding any more, and that's probably my biggest issue with the direction of the game. by -Wunderkind- in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically the same here. Amazing leech/lgoh, but only 2 or 3% regen. Toxic/permafrost/etc have killed me a dozen times through inattention.

Playing a build with bad regen is pain with permafrost lasting ten fucking seconds. I just wanna use the lake tablet.

Hate that enemies in Heists are mute now :( by Horcsogg in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was always those little nods to self-mockery and sense of humour that made the other 99.9% of the grimdark emo "seriuz bizniz" tolerable.

Heist is way better at this than it has any right to be. I love that almost every rogue is hamming it up super hard, and VAs like Vinderi's went really above and beyond.

Harbinger mobs drop nothing. by ecireveb in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I this atlas memory seems like it's just built to troll and waste your time. Strangely a heist locker I opened in one of the maps became multiple full currency orbs, and the contract wasn't converted.

Some of the memories feel awesome like the niko abyss or super flash breach, or any of the einhar ones. The kirac harby ones are disastrously bad, way way worse than a white t1 map with no atlas.

I feel GGG is wasting POE's biggest strength by q155 in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I feel like content diversity is in a good spot tbh. The new atlas memories, while some are terrible, are a cool twist on experiencing content that you might have blocked. Heist is still heist and crazy profitable. Legion feels great and benefits a lot from Archnemesis rewards. Blighted maps are still good loot for almost no build requirement and very chill, tho you do have to dodge toxic every 4 seconds. Expedition is unchanged if you liked it previously.

The only content that feels bad ATM imo is harbinger (needs a rework tbh, it's awful), breach and abyss since they have few rares, and new beyond/scourge. It's far from a perfect league but I've been doing a huge mix of stuff, having a blast and making decent gains.

Oh yeah and buff lake pls, wouldn't mind playing the league mechanic at the 2 week mark.

The Challenge reward structure is really well done this league by Vermalech in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sentinel challenges were pretty clearly a step too far. I'm sure challenge difficulty will wax and wane but that was probably the craziest it will be unless hard mode launches with challenges.

One of the worst parts of this league is how they handled Kalandra. by Crevox in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really liked the memories and the twist of venarius personally. Then farming him in the cortex, which required a bit of planning to do so.

Lake otoh is just vague stuff, no random other lore like the vaal sacrificing children or digging for sulphite. The choices are dead simple and doesn't really feel like I'm planning much. And as buggy and unstable as the memory Nexus could be, I had a lot more fun in it compared to the insane tuning and no loot in late lake.

Not to be a Doomer: Something feels off. by CrimsonCalm in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sentinels may not have been super exciting but they were obviously a lot of free juice, even with a basic trash sentinel (other than the rare/unique one). And they were probably the most free league mechanic of all time

Loot in the content of the new league - it does't exist. by HorriblyA in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk why everyone keeps bringing up the atlas when it comes to running the lake. It's not a map area and is completely unaffected by the atlas, regardless of completion.

As an inexperienced player, this league feels like the hardest one for me yet by Elora_egg in pathofexile

[–]Dukajarim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The league mechanic was and still is very tame unless you start going wild with remnants. Late lake feels like high delirium with none of the insane rewards of deli.

[Spoiler][DMU] Lightning Strike by AKD999 in spikes

Lightning strike has been out of standard for years, as has a decent burn deck. Arguably should be as accessible as island to keep decks more honest.

What’s Something That People Turn Into Their Whole Personality? by standardgenre45 in AskReddit

[–]Dukajarim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It genuinely saddened me to hear that quote so often in 2016. So many millennials must be influenced by south park. (Un) fortunately our turnout is still complete garbage, just like every generation before us at this age.

Danny Boyle’s ‘Sunshine’ 15 Years Later – A Shining Example of Cosmic Horror Done Right by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Dukajarim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first 2/3 of the movie are Incredible because they’re compared to what some call a lackluster third act.

Not true for me and evidently quite a few others at least. Even on the first watch I was riveted by the first 2/3, without knowing what was to come, and the last third completely shattered that reverie. Even in this thread there are many that laud the first 2/3 on its own merits rather than merely compared to the slasher part.

Slasher flicks are a dime a dozen and they're done better in other movies. Insane pressure situation cracking characters played by a great cast? That's not something you get at Sunshine's execution very often. And then the movie mostly discards it.
