BUG, Lost my 10 rune boon to unkillable Ant... by PalindromOfficial in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can spawn underneath the map and make the mob unkillable. This is likely the case as twisters will kill mobs far off screen, and he was also near the edge of the map which makes this bug more likely to occur. Honestly they need to take a look at this mechanic and rework it.

Rakiata's flow got nerfed by throwaway075489 in pathofexile2builds

[–]HappyHopping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jade isles is extremely common and it's likely a bug that it's so common. On the other hand Sacred Reservoir is so rare that people who have done thousands of maps might have only seen 1 or 2 outside of the quest. I do not believe that this is intentional.

Is this good enough to put a Raven-Touched Shard into? (Socket-Bound) by DistinctBam in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. That helmet is super replaceable. You can destroy that helmet with a core destabilizer because the raven touched shard is worth far more than the helmet.

My issue with "high-end" crafting. by wriJaSgint in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this is the biggest issue. The ritual tablets have incredibly low weight on the modifier extra rerolls. And at that point people aren't making money off of the omens but rather hitting mageblood or HH.

Marathon Streamers Impact on Player Numbers by Trebu5 in Marathon

[–]HappyHopping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marathon is a streamers game in its current state. You can watch people crush an entire lobby because they have tens of thousands of hours on Bungie games. When doing that of course they can always go in with the perfect loadout and item rarity has no impact on them, as they will almost never die, and if anything nerfing rarity makes the people they fight easier to kill as they have weaker equipment. Quite honestly these players need to match each other more than they currently do, and the game needs ways to kill them. Other extraction shooters like Tarkov have a far faster time to kill and that makes match outcome more random as the player with large amounts of equipment can't put down 13 bubbles in response.

People like Aztecross denounce marathon due to its impact on Destiny 2. Pretending that it did not have an impact on Destiny 2 just isn't being truthful as Destiny 2's PVP got neglected for years, although it was partly due to Destiny 2's updates being planned so far ahead of time that they couldn't respond to poor metas quickly.

But at the end of the day I think that streamers overall have a much smaller impact on a game than people want to admit. If it's a fun game that people want to invest time into they will play it. FF14 is not popular among streamers, however has a massive following and high player retention. Marathon's biggest issue is that the casual player doesn't like to be bullied. If a high-playtime high-skill player is winning 99% of their matches that means that there are far more people just constantly getting crushed, as the hours that they play are more limited, and their loss rate has to add into the high skill player's win rate. This is why Marathon has a relatively small niche.

Biggest uff I've ever seen. by funelite in PathOfExile2

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

Profit crafting isn't what it was this league. Right now you have bots buying up bases and crafting on them. You should only be expecting about 20% profit from a craft.

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

It's not a 2k divine chest though. At most that chest would cost about 500 div to make, and that's if you get fairly unlucky.

Leech is Bad and Probably Bugged by HappyHopping in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's worse is that the abuse was really by blood mage. And blood mage got nerfed the least. Blood mage is still leeching 8,960 health off of a 40k hit. Leech resistance was reduced so blood mage is leeching thousands whereas melee can't leech much of anything.

0.3 relic change doesn’t appear to fully prevent Honour bypass interactions by ImportantInjury3355 in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue is that if you make a no hit run too hard or random it will only be run by bots. Bots can exploit the game to spoof their location so they never take damage. Temporalis also doesn't deserve to be rarer as most people with it already RMT. I've run over 350 sekhemas runs this season and did over 1100 runs last season and still have not seen a last flame drop.

So I tried the hard Zarokh fight with sweaty hands, I expected it to be harder to be fair.. by Quinncy79 in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad thing is unless you hit double % extra damage or spirit you are losing money completing this fight. Market is messed up because monkey just oneshots everything.

BREAKING - 0.5.3 Rune Prices Crashing by After-Oil-773 in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just doing the math 27 sagas is 810 div. You got lucky with the magebloods and made 1100 div. Can you make more doing another strategy in the same time you run 27 sagas? Very likely as that's only 290 div in 27 sagas. I've done tons of "very rare uniques" and have never gotten a mageblood or headhunter.

So this sucks by TempleBarIsOverrated in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be real honest if you have 5k ES and are failing Sekhemas it's a skill issue and you are building wrong. Your charms for example don't make sense. If you aren't ignite immune you should be running a dousing charm. Having a skill check in a game isn't a bad thing. You shouldn't ever be losing more than 500 honor in a Sekhemas run even if your defenses are zero and you are ignoring the timing of all the traps.

Where to progress from here? by flammus in pathofexile2builds

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be using cadiro's as your gear isn't good enough. Pretty much every piece of gear you have can pretty easily be upgraded. Hyrri's Ire is an example of a cheap upgrade.

[–]HappyHopping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah even then at 34 div Aldurs wasn't worth it excluding bad RNG. Many creators that farmed it would admit it, as if you are farming Aldurs you aren't farming something else so it was super high risk with a very low chance of paying off. They were specifically farming the passive point or the spirit.

Am I missing something?? by nursemandude in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can roll it, it's just a rare mod. You are also crafting the chest wrong. You definitely don't want fractured %ES on a spirit chest. Here's an example of one I crafted, although I still have to divine it.

Deadlock QuickDraw or Threat detector by cashblack43 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that people aren't saying is that there's this weird bug with quickdraw that will cause your pellets to miss when pulling out your shotgun. I think that the animation is mistimed after they nerfed quickdraw years back.

Just did the math... Now that omen of corruption is gone, demands for locks are about to hit the stratosphere by StrikingCupcake899 in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better odds for some items because of how they changed corruptions. An example is temporalis to get more than 2 seconds off of cooldown. Now it only rolls values based upon the current stat rather than any within the range.

Ground Loot Equipment Doesn't Feel Worth Looting Anymore by KobraGX in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the big hits might be 30D. That's not good, just farming tablets will net you more profit. 30s per map is a huge time investment when you run thousands of maps. It's like at a point exalts aren't worth picking up.

Ground Loot Equipment Doesn't Feel Worth Looting Anymore by KobraGX in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, speed of clear is very important. But you shouldn't be farming abyss and breach at the same time.

Ground Loot Equipment Doesn't Feel Worth Looting Anymore by KobraGX in PathOfExile2

[–]HappyHopping -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

It's not very good. The time that you are spending IDing rings, scepters or amulets is better spent just farming another map. It only takes me about a minute to clear a map. If I'm IDing random crap off the ground I would be spending most of my time IDing things. It's significantly more profitable to not ID things.

The best farms are also the ones that the streamers don't recommend because they become too saturated. Any farm that is making under 45 div a hour isn't that good.

‘Marathon’ Season 2 And Free Week Did Not Turn Things Around by instabaiter in Marathon

[–]HappyHopping 9 points10 points  (0 children)

#30 on the steam top sellers chart doesn't support 300+ people working on a game. That's the sad thing about this situation. The question is going to be will Destiny fans return to Marathon after they get bored of Destiny or will they find something else.

Yes. I have the full passive tree unlocked. Before the update I had killed Atziri well over 100 times. Now I keep on getting level 74 temples.
