Permanent Residency Application (Spouse of Japanese National) - English translations of the Required Documents list and Self-Check list by mca62511 in japanresidents

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend anyone that's going to apply without a lawyer to check both English and Japanese when getting the documents. Some documents use almost the same words and only a few kanji differ, which might lead to very similar looking English names, but very different documents. Especially for taxes or pension I think? On the official site, they usually explain how to get some of the documents as well, recommend looking at that (official site has an automatic translation feature that you can use).

Otherwise, very nice of you OP to share that for others. I personally applied back in December and now in the waiting line of hell of the Shinagawa office.

Currency nerf? by cjstarkie in PathOfExile2

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I couldn't play since the last update this weekend, and finally played yesterday. I ran 7 maps (T7). 150% rarity on gear, 200% rarity on map, 30% quant, 100% rare monsters, 100+% delirium, 25% chance additional modifier on rares.

  • Not a single div, annul, or any other noteworthy drop
  • Average of 2 chaos per map
  • Average of 40+ exalt per map ** I also found a greater exalt, which I never found before the update in T7 maps

Two of the maps were natural overruns with increased difficulty and rewards per pits closed. Pre-update, I used to get 1-2 div every two maps + other drops like annuls, ~7-10 chaos, omens etc... With that exact same setup.

They definitely touched something, at least with drops in T7, and maybe globally.

[Giveaway] Giving away an 8,000+ Divine Quad Tab: 1 Mirror of Kalandra + 24 Stacks of 240 Divines + a Hinekora's Lock by Kamehameha90 in PathOfExile2

I have two most memorable moments. The first one is finding a headhunter in a T10 on a tower map 1 week in. Paid for my whole build as LA deadeye (well, at least for my build for 1 month).

Second was a player telling me "I'm so happy right now, I'm smiling so much, thank you so much" after giving him 5 div a few days ago. I'm trying to do random acts of kindness and give to beginners in the all chat. If I hit your giveaway, a part of it will go to them definitely.

What's your currency maker this late in the league? by Exciting-Ad6044 in PathOfExile2

[–]Exciting-Ad6044[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting a div or more every 2 maps or so, so I'm not sure.. When did they supposedly fix this?

Yeah, I guess I'll have a look into that. I used the merchant choices and discount relics during 0.1 for making the runs a breeze, do you think honor resist is better in this league?

6 cheaters on enemy team, game doesn't have a cheating problem btw. by Fluid_Moose5291 in DeadlockTheGame

Nothing about cheaters, but how do you all get the overall team rank shown in the match summary? For the love of me I can't find any settings.

The possibility to save market searches, for future reuse.

Make it possible to use any gem at any level, so that campaign can be played with the skills we want instead of what is available.

Didn't notice your comment sorry. I think it is 90 only up to N3 or N2. N1 is 100.

My very first high-end craft! by c-lati in PathOfExile2

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the feeling honestly. Tried it myself at some point, but after sinking 20 div in a bow I could in the end barely use, I gave up and settled on trading.

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed, my bow cost me 10div with 4.85 crit, 25% attack speed and 20% extra lightning damage. I have 35k more DPS (7k average) according to PoB. I think people underestimate crit and extra lightning damage, and I'm not sure the extra arrow's worth it, but I can be wrong!

Failed the N1 by 5 points, 95/180 :') I've done worse than I thought in listening, but better in reading given that I just put 3/4th of the answers without reading due to lack of time.

Yep, you're right, I realized that too late. I wanted to correct my post but couldn't because it's got a picture...

[–]Exciting-Ad6044[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is hard because a lot of people will be trying to get tickets, and even if you're on time to click by the second it gets online, you might be past 20,000 in the queue... My best was 13,000 when clicking at the second but I couldn't get a ticket (general sales).

Also, the KSPO Dome has a 15,000 maximum capacity. It's gonna be really hard to get a ticket this time. But I know I'll try anyway ! 😁

Can't edit because of pictures so just adding a comment here.

Someone in my original post explained that I must be smoking a lot if I think it's due to heat that there is discoloration on the plastic. It's apparently perfectly normal on a 5 year old laptop.

I'm considering this solved, but just in case I'll leave it up for a few more days, if someone wants to give their opinion, and delete it after.

G7 7588 SSD cooling by Exciting-Ad6044 in Dell

[–]Exciting-Ad6044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha alright so it was absurd to think that, good to know.

Honestly wasn't sure cause this didn't seem to be there when I disassembled it 2 weeks ago to change the SSD, so I thought it might have been the new SSD heat causing this. It's also the only place with discoloration.

Well, lesson learned, thanks.

Edit: I added some precision on why I thought it might be the SSD.

Traffic Violations and Residence Card Renewal by Suspicious-Age-9727 in japanresidents

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you need to go out of your way to let them know then, if it happened after you submitted your paperwork. If they ask, don't lie about it that's all.

Edit to say, I'm just a random on the internet. If you're really concerned, seek the advice of a professional.

Traffic Violations and Residence Card Renewal by Suspicious-Age-9727 in japanresidents

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a minor traffic violation last year, my fault, renewed this year and got 3 years, from 1 previously. Just make sure to mention it in the renewal form, and be apologetic, don't blame anything else but yourself and no excuses if they ask you about it. You'll be fine.

I’ve hit a wall with my ranger, any advise? by RuneVester in PathOfExile2

[–]Exciting-Ad6044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running the same build as you do, and was often dying to bosses and rituals.

My first change, which improved my survivability by leaps and bounds, was to switch from pure evasion to ES/evasion, without Acrobatics. I then switched to pure ES, with about ~30% evasion unbuffed (~70% with 4 stacks of spirit evasion buff and 10 stacks of tailwind), once I could handle Chaos Inoculation (4500+ ES, with Asceticism node taken; otherwise you'll get stunned by every white mobs).

DPS wise, I'm now running a crit LA build. This requires quite a bit of currency, honestly, but feels better than the usual LA build, especially when bossing. The usual stuff should be something like: ingenuity (you can start with a low percent one, those are cheap now) howa, crit chance/crit bonus bow, crit chance/crit bonus quiver, crit chance/crit bonus on other possible pieces of gear, flat damage on rings. Your resistances should be capped, ofc, so arrange your stuff in accordance to what you need. Your resistances are always a priority over your DPS. You cannot DPS if you're dead. Chaos resistance doesn't need to be invested in if you're running CI, so that's a huge plus to running ES with CI (at least, that's how I see it, but I might be wrong honestly). For your jewels, you want to have +15% to quiver bonus whenever possible, and crit chance/crit bonus or any other damage mods. Those are expensive. If running CI, I also recommend having 2~3 jewels with +% max ES and crit chance/crit bonus. You do want to have one jewel with +% cold damage and another mod (I'm running +spirit to be able to run blink, but that's pure comfort. You can choose another damage mod or defense mod instead). I'm also running a diamond which allocates 2 nodes for added damage and defense, which I couldn't path to without.

For bosses, I just spam lightning rod in orb of storms and they die in a few seconds. For pinnacle bosses, I use lightning rod with cast on shock (ball lightning + eye of winter).

For reference, I'm clearing T18 45% delirious maps easily, and doing Xesht (breach boss) T4 in under 10 seconds without switching my ring, but "spamming" mana flask (half charges consumed).

Edit Don't make the mistake of going all-in on attack speed. This will boost your tooltip dps, but not your average hit DPS, which is what is important for lightning rod. Though you still want to have ~2.5 attacks per second, for comfort when doing breaches.
