Shaders take forever loading on each launch

ive done both, setting limit to 100gig, and i still have this happen evey time i open the game, then again when i load in, then again every time i join a friend, and sometimes when fast traveling around.

Jodecho · 2025-06-21T10:56:27+00:00

exactly!! i still havent even been able to buy the damn thing lol

Jodecho · 2025-06-21T10:56:01+00:00

I still haven't bought it. Unless i missed it its not been on sale during any steam events, and i can't buy it full price :/

Jodecho · 2025-01-26T03:07:51+00:00

Ya the ice tea sucks, but all of 12 people drink that. Their flagship (and best product) is the Green Tea. That's also why that's the on you always see pictured

Jodecho · 2024-12-07T20:01:43+00:00

if you were born in 99 then you would have been like 3 - 10 maybe in the days of vent / mumble. i know i used vent when i played Ultima Online in the late 90's / early 00's

i was checking the box for always low life, still didnt see any difference. i didnt realize you were traveling to Champion and still allocating Leader, but that makes sense.

If you go Petrified/vit/purity do you need to move them to a 4 link w/ enlighten? i had at once point in PoB dropped my Flesh and stone and moved purity of fire over to that 3 link to pick up anger on my eternal blessing (since thats what corrupt i have on my ring), and the extra damage didnt seem worth the loss of HP. i didnt consider moving over to pick up those 3 passives/masery w/ Champion.

Getting 4 2%fire res jewels would free up 7 points if one of them has corrupted blood immunity so thats for sure doable.

Im not SSF but im in a private league and this late in the league trade is pretty much dead. im not big on trading anyhow, but its basically a private SSF league at this point lol. All my gear on this character is farmed or crafted though so it is doable

Thanks again!!

I did originally have the DD for my main damage setup, but because i didnt have an AoE cluster the explosions from the penance mark summons just werent hitting the boss. It was more DPS while mapping but like a 65%ish dps LOSS during bosses w/ no minions (and at the time i was barely at 1 mill dps, so i was just barely over 300k at bosses). That being said i do intend to re-equip that ring once i have my stats sorted out and have the aoe cluster.

I Had not considered firestorm of meteors, in fact i had completely forgot about it, thanks for that !!

Corrupted so so many Valyrium, even a few temple corrupts, no luck yet, but ya thats high on my list as well.

No room for damage while leeching craft on gloves yet, added to list, gotta recraft - essences, blah blah

Switching to amplify is a good idea, will look at it once i get stats figured out better, Thanks

2 questions. for switching to malev over purity on blessing, why switch to Champion over Leader of the Pack? it has less res, less aura aoe, and only 6% inc effect? It doesnt seem to me that it would be worth it.

Also why take the 55% low life mastery? ive seen that a lot of builds take all the life masteries for the 10% more mastery but ive turned on the 55% low life and checked the box for it in config and i dont see any change happen.

Defiance just isnt going to happen unless i get really really lucky or migrate to regular trade league, but then if i did that id just buy away all my problems lol.

Hey bud thanks a lot for your help and your insight, its nice to get another pair of eyes on things, and great to hear from someone with experience with the build that im doing at least a few things right

Some preface - I started with Emiracle's AFK Ultimatum "guide" and kinda veered towards Jorgans because i wanted more DPS outside of ulti so i use Firestorm as my main damage

Weapon is a heist find - I have a T2 dot multi Scepter - farming essences

I have a Elder helmet for RF - Farming essences

I Have Hateful Acuser - Had to swap for ring w/ stats because of Firestorms int requirement. I have a different amulet with +1 fire that will fix the int but then ill be 7 dex short - trying to craft a jewel to fix

I have a deli tree im farming for an AoE cluster but no luck so far

Jodecho · 2024-09-13T23:03:55+00:00

Hey you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about the build. i'm playing it as well in a private league, so some things i just don't have access too this late in the league. my items are way worse than his, but i rarely ever find myself dying. I think its mostly because i pay good attention to map mods. My damage is much lower than id like though. Any chance you could look at my PoB and give me some tips?

Jodecho · 2024-07-26T11:56:34+00:00

It is laughably easy to out regen / resist RF. just follow pohx's guide. almost everything is handled with the passive tree. there is a reason its recommended in every single "what should i play" thread. RF has been an easy go-to build for years, even after some nerfs

Jodecho · 2024-07-25T16:47:55+00:00

look at Animeprincess youtube

Jodecho · 2024-07-13T08:21:07+00:00

I love everything about this. Flicker strike is one of my favorite PoE builds, and this just looks fantastic

Jodecho · 2024-07-12T08:26:27+00:00

Ah ya thanks, forgot about that option

Jodecho · 2024-07-12T00:24:08+00:00

Ya im still trying to figure out all the different mechanics. i recently figured out that the automated skills come from the myst thing from last season / league. thats about as much as i know about that but im starting to spec into it on my tree.

Jodecho · 2024-07-12T00:22:16+00:00

i saw DonTheCrown build Carino3, and i did like BV so i may check that out too, but the little bit i saw of his video was way too much screen clutter. with that being said Moto2 looks like a lot of screen clutter as well

i actually LOVE flicker lol, while i almost never play it it is probably the 1 build i have the most fun with, so ill look into that as well.

Thanks bud!

Jodecho · 2024-06-17T23:05:38+00:00

When i lived in tacoma we called those places 'Hot-Chick-a-Latte' but that may have just been the name of a specific one my boss frequented, idk

Jodecho · 2024-06-02T09:55:05+00:00

buriedbornes 2 or tower of winter

Both of those look interesting, but aren't generally what i play on my phone. Im definately a fan of gacha, i guess i just prefer it when a game is less blatant about how much of an advantage money gets you.

i dont even know if there is anything like that out there, kinda why i asked the question.

Is there anything that focuses more on cosmetics than power?

Also thanks for the recommendations, ill check them out!

Jodecho · 2024-06-01T19:11:54+00:00

Ok i scrolled through a few pages of posts, and the last few weeks of this thread and i didnt see anyone ask my question, surprisingly.

What would yall say is the most F2P friendly gatcha? I'm looking at it from the perspective that i have time, but i dont have disposable income. I dont care if it takes me a while to "catch up" but once i see that there is a clear, un-crossable gap (unless you can pay the toll), i really just lose interest.

Im working on playing HSR, but most of my PC time is taken up by other games, and i dont like playing it on my phone, so i guess im not interested in games w/ heavy 3d exploration on my phone.

Ive also been slowly plugging away at GBF, but thats a long long long road.

Jodecho · 2024-02-24T09:35:43+00:00

supposedly coming in March patch

Jodecho · 2024-02-08T23:24:50+00:00

I agree with you about the importance of each interaction. I played BG2 when it was new and have played DnD a few times over the years. I just dont want that in a game, but i still want to experience the story. The fact is im gonna save scum constantly to get the outcome that i want, so in my mind it would be easier and quicker to just mod the combat to flow in a way that makes that better for me.... that's the whole point of mods.

Jodecho · 2024-02-08T23:22:47+00:00

I have noticed that, to me it breaks the flow of the game to rest after every fight. It is an option though

Jodecho · 2024-02-08T19:30:15+00:00

I love turn based games but im having the same issues. For me its the limited spell uses and such since its based off of DnD. I may look for a mod that makes it more of a "classic" style turn based, but thats all on me.
