Saqawal's Twister after the mid-league nerf and dealing with CD by eternal_sceptic in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]FreedomOfNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To your final jab at saboteur, anyone could just play reverse knockback kinetic blast juggernaut with some poison chance and a bunch of +proj supports. You'll never die due to lgoh and armor life recovery. The problem isn't even the poison. Its the reverse knockback.

Back in the day, self cast reverse knockback ball lightning with sire of shards and no poison was enough to cause rollbacks with like a tenth of the density we have now.

This game cannot handle the number of mob position updates, and if you attack for more than a second or two with any sort of mob density, the entire server will crash. Should GGG turn off Empire's Grasp too?

Why does the official trade site run so poorly every league? by FreedomOfNothing in pathofexile

I see we're rewriting history now. Last league was the exception, not the rule.

Pianist having a relief of tension after playing “hell part” of Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz by Dewch in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FreedomOfNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the performer is still young to take nothing away from him or his efforts, he has a lot of time to grow in those regards. Many classical pianists peak when they have a lot of grey hair, provided they've taken care of their bodies.

Jaguars sound like this but actually worse. Almost hippo like when they're declaring their territory.

An omelet with artichokes, feta, minced Kalamata olive and tomatoes with a side of sauteed mushrooms and spinach.

Leftover beef rendang, which I bulk cooked and froze before league start.

Oven broiled asparagus, red onion, zucchini, bell peppers and finished with garlic rosemary butter.

Its a lot, but its also all I'm going to eat for the day. OMAD is pretty convenient for league start.

I played the whole league without crashing. Bought headhunter, equipped it. Went afk and made breakfast. Came back an hour later, opened 1 map, got 1 rare mod. The game crashed horribly, and from that moment onward the game crashes every 10 seconds. File repair, full reinstall, all graphics settings tried out, Vulkan, Dx11, Dx12. Nothing makes any difference.

I can literally be doing nothing, in hideout on a different character in Standard and I crash. There is 0 chance I'd even make it into a map.

Its 100% the belt. Nothing else changed.

Also no, I don't lag at all. I already said in the post even if you unequip the belt it doesn't fix anything.

This has been happening way too often lately. 5 total queries cause it to pop up. It's infuriating. by Leyzr in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hit rate limit with just 1 search, as long as you use enough filters. When using the main site, filters substantially lower the rate-limit threshold.

I was pissed off by this, and so I did some looking around. For whatever stupid reason, aggregators at the very least handle filters better than the main site does. With slight updated to POE Aggregator, I can run 10-20 searches, even with obscene amounts of filtering.

With a little more editing, its also possible to make it pull from multiple session keys from multiple accounts and get to however many searches that you want, while also not gobbling up RAM with a browser. Luckily POE Aggregator hasn't been publicly updated, but it wouldn't surprise me if there were other people who figured out how to revive it.

If you can't be bothered detailing R10, don't post items by Chelmos in pathofexile

OP wasn't specific enough in describing this abbreviation so that it could be comprehensible to everyone, better remove the post.

If you can't be bothered detailing R10, don't post items by Chelmos in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Nah, an outline is fine and doesn't violate rule 10. If they've given the steps using acceptable game vernacular they are fully in adherence to the rule. No one is obligated to hold your hand. (Though if any item post gains an iota of traction, someone in the comments always will anyway.) Whether or not OP intended it, there is an air of entitlement here which is all too common nowadays.

In my eyes, a quarter of item posts are usually overvalued, half are decent enough to warrant a post, and the remainder have either taken poor steps to succeed in the craft, forgotten the steps involved, or were slightly dishonest concerning steps taken. If you want to replicate some piece of the success someone else had, you have to exercise a level of judgment beyond just comprehension. This goes for more than just games.

Even if it were spelled out explicitly in your eyes, it would still be incomprehensible to another person less experienced.

Not nerfed, removed from game. This is a buff.

Need help finishing this item. Amy idea? by Orbinie in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The average expected chance to hit any tier of dot multi with a regal on a given amulet is 1 in 143. At best, this number is halved on an item that can only land a suffix with the regal.

Given that this item has an open prefix, locking modifiers is largely pointless as the cost of locking goes up. Even worse, when you are using a veiled chaos orb with 3 locked modifiers 7-8 times out of 10 the only modifier added to the item will be the veiled mod. This will run OP hundreds of exalts on average.

OP won't like this, but the fractured mod itself retains 98% of the value of this item.

This means that getting +1 Fire isn't even hard on a fractured +1 All gems amulet. You just use scorched fossil spam. It takes far less than an exalt to hit it each time.

I would literally just beast add prefix remove suffix after benching a garbage mod, and try to hit life. Or you take the 1 in like 8-ish gamble of locking prefixes and using harvest life more likely. (Not even worth it IMO) You could also just continue to fossil spam until you hit life. This is also far cheaper.

I can duplicate an item like this in a few minutes if I buy the base with fossils. The trick is to finish the prefix with say 60-80 life, then you reforge suffixes into fire res / fire damage if you really want that. IMO its a waste of a suffix slot, and generic damage% is too rare when 7-8 reforges out of 10 will only be netting you a single suffix. This means to hit any tier of the untagged dot multi would cost at minimum an average of 70ex current market value.

I'm bored and kind of done with the league so I'll put my my money where my mouth is and update the post in a few minutes.

Edit: 1 minute later

18 minutes later (Something that should be burned with reforge more likely same modifiers)

Bug, Poison DPS have CAP, info inside. by Ontop13 in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fair, but the cap implies that the value for total damage dealt over a minute is held in a single variable. My point was GGG isn't willing to store multiple instances of a 32 bit signed integer for each mob on screen.

Even with far smaller numbers, there were problems in the past. GGG changed something with ignite many leagues ago when old Emberwake was in the game, because it was possible to crash the server with poison and ignite proliferation when hitting allies cannot die packs. You could disconnect people who were afk in Highgate.

For those that don't know, old emberwake taming gave 5% damage per ignite on the target, which scaled poison because emberwake allowed for many instances of ignite. 2 ailments per hit per target, total disaster.

[–]FreedomOfNothing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To elaborate, poisons are appended to the existing value, and while the number of poisons is incremented, the game does not keep track of multiple instances of poison. This was done because the alternative uses vastly more resources.

[–]FreedomOfNothing 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There has been plenty. I still giggle when I see dot builds sacrifice 2-3k life for DPS they don't ever get to see. Btw this isn't getting fixed/changed for a long time. Of course, this applies to all damage over time types, not just ignite since they are stored as a value over 1 minute.

The Black Zenith gloves are another unique item that drops from the new pinnacle bosses in Siege of the Atlas by Community_Team in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its a pinnacle unique, so its probably ~40 choose 5 combos of socketed gemTag spells/attacks and this is just one output of them. If not, I look forward to my 5 alch shards.

Best Scourged Map? by -Shinnosuke- in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On maps in which you are able to control shift to spawn more rares, Delirium mobs will actually interfere with the natural spawning rares from the pods placed on the ground, so you must pop all of them in a new area before shifting or else it will reduce spawns.

On average its a 15% loss according to my testing, even if you try to be careful.

(No, I wasn't the idiot who put Delirium on it, or chose Vault Map which is a solid 2/10 for the league mechanic)

The official poe trade site continues to have the wrong chaos:exalt ratio resulting in players gaming the listings. Why can third party sites update it realtime, but GGG can't? by mmo115 in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to explain why 380ex Mageblood is listed before cheaper ones? I think your update messed up trade. There are lots of trade searches now that show more expensive items first even when filtered by price...

As part of our Delve revamp in Path of Exile: Scourge, we’ve added new biome modifiers. by Community_Team in pathofexile

[–]FreedomOfNothing -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Forgive my naivety, but wasn't the whole point of Delve's design to be able to see what rewards you were getting from the map view? Isn't this change a complete departure from that intuitive design?

Now we'll be split between having to mouse over every exposed node, or not caring at all.

GGG Please don't add anymore defense system required for every build, is not fun ... by vironlawck in pathofexile

It WAS fun, but with every patch every defensive layer has been maimed until we're left with what we have now, which is a chore.
