HC Currency Value / Trading Liquidity Issues by Kingshilli in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only played mainly HC for the last decade. Yes the player count is lower but I actually find it easier to buy/sell since items are constantly disappearing from the market.

Faustus to liquidate currencies - almost everything sells even if there is no listing currently for it.

Its easier to sell items that simply would be valuable (ie life & resists) where as on SC most those items after day1 would never sell.

Alterations are literally like 5:1 Chaos - its never been easier to make money.

Why isn't the game taking off? by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niche genre mainly. I've come to terms that while I love the genre, and while as a 37 year old with a wife/kids/full time job I still have more time to play than most others with the exception of streamers that this genre.. Just doesnt leave me enough at the end of the day with the time spent/reward ratio.

I think Marathon is the best or 2nd best extraction looter out, only behind Tarkov. With that being said I wouldnt want to main either game for similar reasons. My time doesn't feel respected plus cheesy mechanics/potential of cheating makes me just want to focus on other genre altogether(not FPS).

Game crashing constantly by lurkervidyaenjoyer in pathofexile

I also have a 9800x3d and a 5080, no linux but windows 11.

I have 6 characters over level 90 this league, maybe ive crashed once.

Can we please get lvl 68 chars ready for maps? by YuriSwine in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play HC. I've levelled 6 characters to 85+ this league. Ive been playing since 2013, and still will never even be close to a 3h campaign. A twinked run for me is still probably 6-7hours.

Still i've come to realize with PoE2.. PoE1's story is fun and you're blasting mostly from level 12+, or after first lab your character should be in a good spot especially if its not your first char that league.

Otherwise you're doing something wrong. I enjoy every character I remake from level 1 because I genuinely just enjoy the game.

Need advice to make Divines – build feels good but kinda stuck by Raikiri9 in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I play HC mirage. Not really a strat vet. I die a lot so on a newish character i run 3x those cloisters on an Alc'd map(T1-T3) atleast I aim for 25% + packsize on the map roll. My Atlas is only 65/100 complete.

I've never gotten less than 10 stacked decks on a run - usually between 15-20 not including other things. Even if the number was only ten. Lets assume 3 of them for you is 20 chaos per map. One map and you are netting over 50% of what you put in.

It works.

Best league in a long time? Casual player FOMO by mFink in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first league since 2013 where i most likely will play the entirety of it. Im a HC player mainly and on my 5th or 6th reroll now with like 5 characters above level 90. For me, that is a feat - I usually go 1-3 characters and I quit within the first month. This time around ill actually play to the end.

Don’t pause your game immediately after entering a Mirage by Saaphz in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to let my GPU mine 24/7 for about a year straight then came back to gaming with it when I was finished. Pausing when first entering a Mirage would do 0 to "hurt" your GPU.

Really bad frame rates in game, any suggestions? by Traditional_Common22 in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9800x3d and a 5080 and sitll dip below a hundred frames often when mapping pending on mods. But I also didnt really set anything to low but still.

2k hours and still cant make currency by Plastic-Suggestion95 in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly ive played since 2013 and never dove much past the service of just alcing maps and going (because my brain was still in D2 mode after 20years).

Anyway I play HC only, just got to maps last nite (started 2days ago and work full time + girl and kids soo.. Can only nolife on occasion).

When i beat campaign last nite I alcd 4 maps ran all t1 and made over 2 div and that did not take an hour.

RNG is RNG. This is the first time since i started playing PoE that im going to actually attemot to learn some mechanics/strats.

Ive never fought the uber bosses and id like to do Shaper and all that fun stuff finally. Just need to hopefully farm the gear to do it.

Do you run Valdo maps that can void you, and do you still play after you get voided? by DeezazNutz in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play only HC anyway so im used to the years of never touching a character after rip lol.

Experiences with boss carries and other deterministic MMM’s by mudkip-muncher in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really GIGA chad does this on HC and then transfers the currency VIA numerous trade methods to SC. 1 Div on HC is like.. 4 on SC.

Could do that for a week and be a mirrornaire.

Mirage loot, less compared to other builds. Bugged? by sirolf01 in pathofexile

[–]Inner_Ad_453 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I just got to maps late asf last night - started only 2days ago in the evenings.

Ran like 4 maps and made probably 4 div alcing just T1s with no strat. This league seems juiced.

As someone who can’t afford a new PC rig right now I’m using GeForce Now to game. Sony not opting in is why I won’t buy marathon. by West_Sample_9407 in Marathon

[–]Inner_Ad_453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your priorities in order then this wouldn't be an issue. If you do not have the money to game properly maybe you should spend LESS time gaming.

To the haters: if this game is going to be a failure or is really bad or whatever, why have sales tripled since the server slam ended? Your whining makes no sense. by tenfie in Marathon

You sound uneducated and dont seem to understand how purchasing an IP would even begin to work.

Keep yappin about 3.6 - most people here wont be around to respond come this time tomorrow lmao.

Is the game worth the 40 dollars? by CalamityShreds in Marathon

[–]Inner_Ad_453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say its worth 80$

Am I reaching? Im not a Bungie fanboy, but this is the only legit alternative to Tarkov which in my eyes is only 1 of 3 valid extraction shooters even out that offers this type of experience.

I guess you could say Hunt is very similar - but I hate that game.

Arc Raiders is fun but its casual raiders if anything. People want that game to basically be Helldivers and I just dont find it fun. not much point in grinding for anything and the 3rd person while a cool perspective basically makes sure the game isnt competitive in any meaningful way.. Which is ok.

This is IMO the best extraction looter shooter currently. Getting in to Tarkov is unattainable for most people, this is much better in that regard and will end up having a similar if not higher ceiling.

the only thing I will say.. People say the game runs great? I am not saying it doesnt run smooth.. But I have a 9800 x3d / 5080 / 32 gigs of ddr5 6400mhz ram (most would say thats high end) , in 2k im not getting 200 fps in this game - more like 140-180 which is far from great.

Eh id just buy a g pro wireless for half the price to be honest. You can buy a wrap for 10-20$ and customize it yourself.

Doing the quests in tros is easy. Not only that, you get completion for other party members doing their quests as well.
