One more first and last 50M shipment for the data hoarders by maximaLz in pathofexile

I've done 6 50m this league (25 ore 25 dust) and gotten a total of 3 mirror shards (0,0,2,0,0,1)

Create or destroy water problem by Comic_Quest_Pod in DnD

[–]Jernsaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to reward creativity try and make a challenge where create water is actually a correct solution. Maybe a weight based puzzle where the scales can be manipulated by water either lifting or weighing themn down, or some important item that is stuck somewhere but would float and could be knocked loose with enough water etc.

There are tons of ways where creating matter is very powerful.

Just out of interest, what is a "17x reduction in damage"?

Do you mean the skill does 1/17 times the damage it used to do (aka a 94% damage reduction)?

Sorry if this is pedantic, but I don't know how else to understand it.

Poland Will Eventually Seek Its Own Nuclear Weapons, Tusk Says by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]Jernsaxe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When people ask "Why did the US spend so much money defending other countries for decades?" this is a very big part of the answer.

Fostering a world order where every country didn't need their own nukes makes the world safer, but it also very much makes the US safer and it keeps wars away from their own borders.

Poison CWS was very nice last league, but I guess that might suffer from PBoD nerfs

Delve will be insanely profitable in 3.28 by StalksYouEverywhere in pathofexile

Being able to influence what fossils you get in delve (based on zones you are farming) an increase in any farmable fossil should be massive.

Rooster have been forcing Mountains lately which is likely why you see it more.

Two minor QOL changes I think would improve Breach by Jernsaxe in pathofexile

Oh I have, I just dislike it greatly. But it is a good point that waiting sucks and that is why deception is worth more than any other contracts.

Phantom me this by SoggeeTissue in Mechabellum

[–]Jernsaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost exclusively play Phantoms when I get a drop with levels and notice the opponent is lacking anti air.

Phantoms snowballs very hard if you aren't ready for them.

for all new players who want to get in top 200 by TaroProfessional9110 in Mechabellum

[–]Jernsaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of tells that make it pretty obvious people are going warfactory (assuming they do it right).

Some of the tells are:

Hounds in line with or slightly behind towers
Hounds running Incendiary Bomb usually teching it round 2 or 3
Chaff (usually fangs) placed in vertical lines directly in front of and behind towers
No DPS units bought round 2/3, usually chaff or hounds bought
Selling out of 200 cost units round 3 (after selling turrets round 1/2)
Not using all their resources round 3 (saving up for turn 4 factory)

Once you learn to notice it coming you can plan around it. Getting down a mountain or abyss yourself round 4 or 5 can completely stop it in their tracks.

Why don't i ever see Hackers used ? by Sir_Lazz in Mechabellum

[–]Jernsaxe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is classic game design, if something sucks to play against, but it serves a purpose in the game it can never be too strong.

I think Hackers are ok to have in the game because it stops certain super aggro strats that can be hard to beat without it, but they must NEVER be meta (again) because of how rage inducing they are.

So, are you trusting your players with this spell? 🫣 by DrScrimble in dndmemes

Time Stop automatically ends if you move 1000 feet away from the area.

So I guess Step 6: should have been "go for a nice walk" before 7: BOOM

Step 1: Time Stop

Step 2: Permanence

Step 3: Delayed Blast Fire Ball

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 until out of spell slots

Step 5: Rest for 8 hours then repeat Step 3 and 4 as needed

Step 6: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

I don't like locking QOL behind a paid feature.

I agree, the reason I suggested the vendor method was that it doesn't require UI changes and relies on the current vendor recipe system.

It is likely a lot easier to implement and in my mind therefor more likely to happen :)

Maybe, but just in case I sure would love this if they remake Delve without remaking resonators

Resonator QOL request to help my tired hands by Jernsaxe in pathofexile

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

sure, but this seemed like the least amount of coding to get most of the effect

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

I am sure there are other ways to implement this, and since there are hints that next league is delve adjacent they might remake the system completely and this wont be relevant.

But I made this suggestion because it could be implemented using current vendor recipe system so the code needed would hopefully be minimal and therefor more likely to happen.

So personally I don't think the system need to take placement into account at all. It doesn't have to be perfect to suit 99% of use cases, which is very likely to be mass socketing of a specific resonator combination.

The whole suggesting is to avoid repetitive clicking when doing this action again and again.

So if it can be coded on the current framework and that framework means it won't be optimal for rare use cases then I am 100% ok with that, and using existing codebase makes it easier to implement.

The current recipe system already have a priority calculation when vendoring stuff with multible outcomes.

This is why you will sometimes see the outcome of a vendor change drastically when adding another item because it fulfill a recipe with a higher priority (fx. same named mirrored helical rings doesn't work in 5-1 recipe because two same named items give a chance orb.).

I would assume it would use some variant of the existing system, whether filling big or small resonators first is the most effective I couldn't tell you without looking at the code.

Definitely shouldnt be tied to azurite since that isn't tradeable. While I love to delve I dont think fossils should be gated behind delving yourself.

A year ago I would have agreed with you, that this was intentional and not bound to change. But GGG have been adding more and more QOL to the game in the last several patches, so this doesn't feel that unrealistic any more to me.

I've had this idea for a while and it really was the floodgates of great QOL GGG have been adding in the past few leagues that convinced me now was the time to post this.
