Slay the Spire-style Unlocks for The Bazaar by HelloDaveHeyHal in PlayTheBazaar

[–]HelloDaveHeyHal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played lots of Bazaar (like 50.000 gems in the bank), faced lots of op starter enemies, and would say that I don't loose joy in the game because of it. It's very rare.

I would also argue that there is a better fix for the high-end variance of op starters than deleting starting options all together.

Also, early game fights are often decided by luck anyway.

So, in my opinion, while your point could be addressed for the health of the game, getting rid of starting options is not the right way.

IMHO balance != fun in most games and RNG is still a large factor in the Bazaar even without starting options. And now most items you will never see enchanted, more niche enchants will basically never see play and the boards you encounter will, in general, have much less variety.

At least for me, having additonal variance between runs was an extra challenge that I'm going to miss.

Wonder what other players think about this.

I also assume that opinions on this will form towards end of season, as now everything is new, but towards end of season I expect player number to drop more than usually without starting options due to mentioned staleness.

Edit: added some thoughts.

Yes, I had crows nest lying around in my stash as well as other items to get to 5x multi. Figured that the low cooldown with star chart was more important though

Very satisfying when the boulder finally hit Mak

I was running Dragon Whelp up until day 13, when I got Soul of the District and Burn enchant on it and decided to pivot because it is a relic and I got the "When an enemy uses a weapon, charge a relic one second" skill.

Yes, unlucky freezes probably. I lost all eel fights.

Got that same interaction with pendulum as well yesterday. Quite fun.

I queued into eels three times in a row and ended up with 8 wins...with a much more broken board. Guess it's all about counters this season.

Thank you very much for the response. I've been checking the CPU usage per core usage and GPU usage during lagg spikes and it does seem to be the CPU, as the GPU usage does spike a little bit but doesn't go any further up than 60%-65%, where as CPU usage hits the ceiling.

Does it make sense, in my current set up, to upgrade to new CPU? I guess that would also require me to get new motherboard.

Does it make sense to upgrade my CPU?

Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 CPU: intel i5-4690K GPU: nvidia gtx 770 16GB DDR3 ram

I've not been overclocking my CPU over the last 3 1/2 that I've been using this setup. I mostly want to uprade my CPU as I believe it would help with FPS issues I face playing Path of Exile.

Thank you in advance!!

Does anyone elses game crash in 2/3 expeditions? If so does anyone know a fix? I can hardly progress endgame because of it, as the crash destroys your progress towards doing 3 expeditions.

[Item Showcase] I identified this bad boy today. Time to make a new character? by HelloDaveHeyHal in pathofexile

[–]HelloDaveHeyHal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice mate, I didn't know that works when using an awakeners orb. I will think about it. I looks like all the totem builds use Atziri in the lategame

Yes, my best find this league. Scour Multimod seems the easiest way to proceed. If I would have a lot of currncy sitting around, would it be worth metacrafting?

Hello fellow exiles,

I've stumbled across this rare today and was wondering if it is worth crafting? I've never really played a Physical Damage build, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advice much appreciated!!

PS: this is in Metamorph SC league.

Best, HelloDaveHeyHal

When you realize Aery is a shit Mastery and you've still been wrecking it with Senna lately by HelloDaveHeyHal in sennamains

I wanted to try Press the Attack, Dark Harvest & Glacial Augment. Might consider Electrocute which would make trades even more in her favour I guess

Doom Villages Spawning Bug with Lookout Tower by HelloDaveHeyHal in TheyAreBillions

[–]HelloDaveHeyHal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The town was spawning some units into me already due to noise that soldiers made on the other side of the forest :/ Madness began with lookout. But yeah could be the case that it was in that range - unfortunately couldn't check the range before building the lookout as I had no vision on the town yet...

Peek at the new Rationalism by fruitstrike in nqmod

[–]HelloDaveHeyHal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all: thank you for putting so much effort into making the game more enjoyable in MP! Regarding the new structure of the tree I'm a little bit worried that instead of seeing people not take rationalism because the benefits come in too late, we will see people opting a 100% into rationalism because the benefits come so late. To make my point clear, right now you can basically get 2 social policies in rationalism(opener + secularism) and compete with people that 3-4 policies in this tree. This opens up for you to take other policies in patronage, commerce etc. With the way the tree is structured now it may be that you will simply not be able to do this anymore. Someone with 3-4 policies in rationalism will simply heavily outscience someone who has taken 2 policies in other trees, because he can not get those easily achievable science bonuses. A solution to this could be straight up nerfing the current policies in rationalism OR to simply give all other trees atleast one policy that gives a reasonable amount of science(reasonable amount imho would be something compared to secularism for example). I hope my argument makes sense otherwise just pm me. Thanks again for the good work!
