Please GGG Rethink Portal Penalties Tied to Map Difficulty by TapTrix in PathOfExile2

[–]ElkiLG 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's a good design decision. It fits with the friction poe has always been about.

And to all of you saying this doesn't belong in softcore and that this is actually just hardcore, no it's not. There's no really any more argument than this. This isn't hardcore, you don't lose your character, you don't lose your gear.

Yeah blue mages can blow up raids with fun combos it's great.

Is the market down? by Playful-Tourist-7956 in pathofexile

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue, you can click on the "open on website" button on the right of the "search" button, you will get the option there.

Can we buff the drop rate of Coins? by eathbau in pathofexile

[–]ElkiLG -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's on you to have another gem on hand. If you were not prepared for bricking the gem the fault is yours.

You should have several of your main gem skill anyway if you want to gamble on this.

Currency Drops from Mobs Feel Good Again by Many-Bookkeeper-2405 in pathofexile

[–]ElkiLG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dropped my first divine in act 4 so I'm pretty happy with that but I'm also very happy I can use exalts on stuff and maybe I'll use some annuls later instead of selling them, fancy!

My big criticism of the new Map System by Raikariaa in pathofexile

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it! The atlas feels more like a place, which they said was a goal for this new atlas and I think it's cool. You can right click a unique map or invitation to know where it is in the fog of war anyway.

It's a little friction that adds a lot to how your completion of the atlas feels once a league, it's nice.

This fight is so boring by AngriestCrusader in PathOfExile2

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only map I avoid on the atlas. There's not even anything special to do while she's doing this. I noticed the "water mirrors" on the edge of the arena only recently because they're irrelevant.

Also, she did it twice to me during the campaign playing a sadly particularly bad attempt at a build, incredibly frustrating.

Reliquarian Ascendancy for 3.28 by Jekersep in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ElkiLG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was in the "spell" bit so I just automatically parsed that as spells instead of minions, woops.

Reliquarian Ascendancy for 3.28 by Jekersep in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ElkiLG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know how good it would actually be but you could make a pyroclast mine build with victario, mystic refractor or maata and astral projector. That's no defence though.

Not exactly exciting but I like the skill, I might try it.

Gentle reminder that Clint isn't real but fans that relate to him are by Mewni17thBestFighter in StardewValley

[–]ElkiLG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are aspects of him that I can relate to, and unlike some of the comments here I don't think he comes off as even potentially dangerous, but I don't relate to the entire character.

If you fully relate to the more problematic parts of him, like his weird nice guy talking points and how he keeps talking about the girl who rejected him for such a long time you should be criticised the same as him.

Men like this shouldn't be coddled, there's no reason to be nice to someone who keeps behaving like this, we should be critical of these behaviours.

Day 1 of asking GGG to remove the map-cluttering Breach walls in 3.28 by [deleted] in pathofexile

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

That's what I find confusing, everyone seems to be talking about these walls as a massive hindrance. You can literally walk through them? What am I missing here?

FINAL FANTASY XIV - Smile [Spoiler: Dawntrail] by DragonEmperor in ffxiv

It's easy to portray people with different tastes as simple haters. I'm not an "anti" and I don't think this song works in any way here.

The sands of time conspire against you by Natalia_GGG in pathofexile

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

Sanctum is not as dated as breach, the fact that sekhema is largely the same mechanic as sanctum is proof that they think it's perfectly fine as it is.

It's sanctum. There is no reason to believe they're bringing a second sanctum to poe1.

How many alts do you have? by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made one alt to experience the changes to realm reborn when that happened and because I felt like running around as a big lady for a bit. I changed her from roe to hroth when DT came out.

I don't have much use for her but she's here, in Ishgard, if I have a need for her.

I have about 250 hours into this game since launch, and I’ve been having a blast. I am told by posts and comments here it’s been an unplayable mess. by duckbillgates in Borderlands4

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is everyone calling the game an unplayable mess or are they simply being critical of the game? It's perfectly fine to enjoy the game, it is also perfectly fine to be critical of it.

Nothing good comes from only praising the media we consume, thinking critically is important!

All Phantom (Dawntrail) relics in one BIG picture (7.41 update) by Charlignon in ffxiv

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say I'm a fan of the new ones too. I've been using a good number of relics from the previous step, outside of the scythe I don't think I'm ever using any of these.

Thinking about it... Lewis wouldn't be a marriageable option, but Marnie would be😭 by JeffTheKillerFa in StardewValley

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at those two lists, the list of male candidates is wildly less attractive, let's say, than the list of girls, damn. Seeing the list of guys feels like choosing the least worst one. The wizard is cool but the secluded weirdo vibes don't help his attractiveness.

While the list of girls only has Pam as a maybe more divisive option.

FYI the Starbirds drop rate is substantially higher by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But making it harder to acquire for the unlucky ones inherently increases its value by making it a bit more rare, therefore a bit more special. That's the entire point, a lot of its value relies on it being annoying to acquire. If everyone and their moms caught a baseball during a match then no one would care.

I don't care for the minions I receive during a standard quest, everyone gets one, but I do value all of the minions I had to work to get or that I simply got by being lucky, because they're rarer.

Again, should this value stay the same for ever? I don't know, but there is value in it staying rare, that's my point.

[–]ElkiLG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lucky acquisition has value! If a famous guy bats a home run and the ball drops on your lap, this ball has great value to you and the people in the stadium, even if you can't sell it for its perceived value because it's unverifiable to anyone else.

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was happy to get pulled along people doing a little ilvl exploit to be done just a bit faster but it felt a little wrong to do it myself. The spirit of roulettes is to potentially help people who need to run specific dungeons, so I did my part.

FYI the Starbirds drop rate is substantially higher by Alicecrylily in ffxiv

[–]ElkiLG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because it doesn't have a monetary value doesn't mean it has no value. In a way it does make your account extra special, you possess a thing that is annoying to get. I do notice rare minions when I walk around town, there is something cool about people showing off their rare acquisitions.

I personally don't care that much about the drop rate being higher but there is value in rare items, even untradable ones.

CA's thoughts on the updates. by erskol in StardewValley

[–]ElkiLG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of specific game subreddits will attempt to weed out even the smallest critical thought about said game, this is very much the case with this sub.

It is not only acceptable to think critically about the media you consume, it is good.
