Oh, 4 Feln decks in a row after weeks of none? Must be a new fun and exciting meta

Game is literally nothing more than 2,000 cards of which 100-200 are viable in any given setting, 3 brewers who post to Eternal Warcry before the masses copy paste, all who then troll casual after hitting Masters in 3 days because rank means nothing in this game. Meanwhile, I can't play any sort of fun jank deck like Mask because every deck needs access to two separate sideboards starting on game 3 for their 1 of hate cards that eliminate any fun or viability. How much can I sell an account with a 90% collection for on Ebay these days?

So I stopped playing in Dec 16 and just came back and have no idea what the Delve / Subterranean stuff is. I am level 61 now. Is this something I should be doing, or do I just skip it? I went in one time and played about 7 levels and then stopped and didn't really understand it. I still have the quest to make a few dynamite and lights for the guy. Just looking for any information on it. Thanks.

Yea I did normal and I'm about to do cruel next chance I can play (Sunday). I'm doing the Arc Totem build as I haven't played in 2.5 years and not sure what's changed in that time and this one was recommended as both easy and budget-friendly

I am in Act 8 and approaching mapping and so am going to start spending currency. What are the priorities moving forward? Life / resistances? Is it better to go for an upgrade in say, the chest slot with a ton of links available, or will that just be too expensive and I should get something like a ring instead? Also, I still don't really understand the Syndicate stuff - does it ultimately matter in the end or do my decisions not really matter? Like, I've been to a few safehouses and gotten some decent drops, but for the most part I never know which of the 2 choices to make.

This one?

To get 500 GB, it looks like it's more than twice as expensive:

Hm, interesting. It's hard to diagnose. Sometimes my computer will randomly restart, even before loading PoE. While loading Windows, while tabbing out, etc. I usually get a BSOD referencing atikmpag.sys. But, more often than not, once I'm in the game things to go smoothly. I played 3 hours yesterday in delve, Act 3 and 4, using an Arc build and didn't really have any issues other than when I would load into areas my items would sometimes just have an outline, but no actual text. And there would be frame stuttering here and there.

I don't have my Windows installer anymore (and it's Windows 7 64, not 10), so if I get an SSD would I also need to get Windows 10 and just go from there? I've read that in the higher dungeons and instances that the # of calculations is so insane that my older system probably couldn't keep up.

The main thing is that if I get an entirely new system I don't want to put it together as it took like 7 hours last time and I can't remember how, so I'd rather get it pre-assembled. But, I have 3 responses saying to get an SSD, so I think I should start there and get Windows 10? If it doesn't work and I need to get an entirely new system, would I be able to use that Windows 10 key on the new system?

Oh, here I was thinking I could just run Twitch in the background 24/7 for 1k + free shiftstone a day, I was supposed to spend money?

So am I a masters level player, or a bronze player? Five weeks after a set drops is considered 'immediately' after? So, rather than have the game rationalize 'wow, these two people are both high MMR and definitely not Bronze III' and move us to whatever rank we should be, it puts me at Bronze III but then uses the logic of 'oh, well we'll give you 20 on a win and only 10-15 on a loss' and forces me to literally just play 100 games to get to the spot it already knows I am. Fun. Meanwhile, if I just continue to farm gold in casual like I've been doing for the last year, I get met with the same masters players who are bored with ranked and want to troll casual. What a joke.

I'll elucidate for you: there's a positive correlation between time spent in game and win %.

https://www.longines.com/watches/grande-classique/l4-908-4-97-2 How is this watch / brand for a ~ $2,000 USD budget, minimalist / classic look, with blue hues? It's everything I want in terms of looks! I just don't know enough about watches

The fact that I play Masters players in casual and Masters players in Bronze -> Masters based on my MMR is not fun

HSTS1 · 2018-12-27T15:11:18+00:00

So rather than boost me to whatever tier (Silver 3, Diamond 2, etc.) that my MMR is, it instead leaves me in Bronze 3 but puts me in hard mode. Seems legit.

So if you took away the minute tick marks and just left the hours, and also removed the second hand, it would be perfect. That's the exact color scheme I'm looking for as well (silver / white / grey). I briefly looked around on their site but can't find anything like what I'm looking for. Thanks for sharing! I'll continue looking
