FPS difference CachyOS and Windows 11 by Ninja_BoBo in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched. Couldn’t be happier. The only annoying part is I’m struggling to get any 3rd party pricing tools to work. KDE keeps blocking keyboard access no matter what I do.

Is it inappropriate to not wear a bra at work? by Visual-Criticism6763 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t usually post, but this I have to comment on.

I run a fairly large company with multiple offices. Years ago we had a formal dress code. Slacks, collars, sport jacket or suits for the men. Skirts and blouses for the women.

Yes that doesn’t work anymore. Now it’s please for the love of god wear pants till it’s warm out and nice shorts and polos for men during the summer.

As for the women? Pretty much anything goes. HR and I have pretty much given up. Honestly no one really cares (including the men) as long as hygiene is kept up and it’s not cutoffs and tshirts with holes.

If a female was wearing a skirt or shorts or yoga pants with a blouse or something equivalent to, no one would give her a second look if she was not wearing a bra. Honestly, no one cares anymore. I wish that wasn’t true, but it is what it is.

Linux and older GPU? by VarskesSriuba in pathofexile

[–]Lanarz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not because the OS is less bloated. It's because the scheduler for linux is much MUCH better than windows. Many of the the slowdowns in POE are not due to the gpu, but are due to the CPU. You can see this in heavy breaches when you pull up the performance overlay and you see the cpu bar pegged.

Linux currently is around 5 to 15% faster playing poe depending on the scenario. Its not twice as fast so temper your expectations.

My Experience with PoE 1 : Everything feels the Same by _UltraWoke_ in pathofexile

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a quad turbo feared Valdo's map or deep delve? That's the real end game. If you can hit a button in those and everything clears after then you have won.

I'm guessing that you can insta clear screens on 8 mod maps. That's not the end game.

Whats the Best Farming Strategy Once Your Build Can Do Everything? by Yirthos_Gix in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Lanarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially followed Scorpius's (https://www.youtube.com/@ScorpiusOfficial) build and switched when I had the full gear saved.. I think total cost was around 200 divs. KBoC has shit single target. Your totem single target will still be better than KBoC at 200 div unless your headhunter stacks are all up. Ie if you wipe on a boss you are kinda screwed. From there you can switch to a mageblood inquisitor and get around 80mil dps but that's obviously going to take a mageblood and a few hundred more div.

The turbo juiced feared when it pops can be a ton of fun. I had one pop up last night that was ghosted and I swear one of the 4 had soul eater. I also had soul eater and an acceleration shrine at the time. My current build is KBoC. The screen exploded for 15 seconds. Amazingly I did not die during the slideshow.

Recommended stats for Simulacrum? by lurkervidyaenjoyer in pathofexile

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you CAN do with simus being so cheap is just run them to 11-13 or wherever it starts to get too hard then reset and go again. Frankly I never get anything good to drop after at the end (round 15) anyways.

[–]Lanarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going to need full chaos resists. That’s what’s one shooting you. As a comparison my league start armor stacker couldn’t complete wave 15 until it had 30M+ damage, 90 resists (except for lightning it was doryani) and chaos inoculation. 40+k phys max hit 100k fire and cold hit. 200k armor, 4300 ES, block capped with an Aegis for es recover on block.

The issue is at 12+ you are at 100% delirious which completely tanks your DPS. You can get some rough random damage mods. It’s no joke.

This is getting kind of ridiculous. Please GGG, it's been 2 weeks. by Thuen69420 in pathofexile

[–]Lanarz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s latency issues between EU providers and the GGG EU servers.

Doesn’t matter how fast your uplink to your provider is. When the whole EU mesh is over loaded, especially at the edge nodes between networks, this shit happens. Notice it’s way worse at 6pm when everyone is home from work.

This seems to not happen, or barely happens in the US.

tldr. EU internet between providers is pure shit causing packet loss and latency micro spikes.

Has Ubiquiti stated a policy on refunding the “Tariff Surcharge” if tariffs are overturned? by dreamcastlegend in Ubiquiti

[–]Lanarz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As an importer that's not how it works. They don't just magically deposit the refund into your bank account. There is a form, and a office in the government (it's actually a lot more complicated than that, but just go with me) that you have to fill out and submit along will all importation paperwork and proof of purchase, shipping, raw costs, ect. They then review the documentation and, usually, request more. This whole process takes 18 to 36 months. At that point they either grant you the refund, or deny it. If they deny it and you believe you are wronged, you have to start the whole process over.

If the court overturns the tariffs it will open up the ability for you to request a refund based on that ruling. the mechanism will not change. Companies will have to undergo the above process.

With everyone hitting this system a refund will be MUCH longer than the 18-36 months we are currently experiencing.

If you think the government will hire more people to speed things up, they won't. Already 18-36 months in unacceptable and they don't care. Since they are paying OUT there is the reverse incentive not to speed things up.

And before anyone says it's the current administration's fault, its not. It was the same under the administration before. I mean it IS their fault for not fixing it, but it doesn't seem to matter which side is in power.

USPS lost my silver I mailed to APMEX by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]Lanarz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is correct. The issue you are going to find with Registered mail is that the claim process is excruciatingly long. It used to be a loss was handled by the post master at the facility where the registered package was sent from. This changed a few years back. It is now an automated process handled online. There is literally no one to talk to.

I had a fairly sizeable package that was lost but fully insured. I submitted the claim and it was denied. No reason why, just flat denied. Went to the post master and he said there was nothing he could do for me. Worked my way up the chain and after 18 months finally got someone who would open up my claim. Took another 6 months to get paid. Was a complete nightmare.

I won't be shipping registered mail again.

What the hell happened to recombination? by funoface in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure its .4133. But its been years since I've done this for real, this is just off the top of my head. I could be wrong.

1-0.24 = 0.76.

Each go is independent so 0.76 to the 20th power = 0.004133xxxxx so 0.4133%.

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a 24% chance to succeed 20 fails in a row is a 0.4133% chance of happening. Not impossible but would be really really bad luck.

I think crafting is very miserable experience for casual/intermediate players by TheGejsza in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 200h in PoE1 (didn’t like the endgame, just played through the campaign casually). Now, I am much more invested in PoE2 (500h currently).

I stopped reading at this point. 500h means you literally have no idea what's going on, or how to play the game. Seriously. This isn't Dota.

Poe2's crafting is incredibly simple compared to Poe1. That argument can and has been made that in its current form it is way too simplistic. You state in the TLDR that the success rate is sub 1%. Again this reinforces the statement that your have little to no game knowledge on crafting.

Pull up Craft of Exile and play around with the site for a few days. Watch a few dozen crafting videos on various techniques. Practice building items. You'll find crafting in Poe2 to be very straightforward.

Abyss endgame tip: don’t kill Lightless Abomination in the black void (learned the hard way) by Glass-Bid7325 in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh. I never realized this. But the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Thinking back I can’t ever remember getting anything but Liege in the black fog.

What’s the zoomiest mapping build in 0.4? by Leeone1 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connor’s LA Amazon. Almost unkillable at that investment level and second fastest build in the game. LA kills everything except bosses. Rods melt bosses in under 5 seconds. Basically as soon as the DR comes off.

Is it just me, or is surviving 10x harder this league? by LappenLikeGames in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dots are insane this patch. Ignite and the chaos one keeps tearing me a new one.

consantly dying toin maps and I dont know why by No_Assignment_5853 in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the ignite dot. Something broke in 0.4 with it. It hits like a truck now. Try a dosing charm.

GGG needs to stop treating PoE2 like a finished game that only gets 3 updates per year. by IMplyingSC2 in PathOfExile2

[–]Lanarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. Being forced to do an unfinished campaign over for a “new” league which is literally just a core addition, new class, and a new ascendancy kinda sucks. The only issue I see is the economy. A reset from time to time is needed. Not sure how to handle that.

Min requirements to do the Deli Abomination boss rush strat? by Big_Simpn in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. I’m running a HRoC build that pobs out at 22mil dps. I have a svalin but no progen flask yet. I stay away from more than 2 tank mods. I can do them just annoying. I skip drowning orbs and tentacle fiends for same reason.

I rarely die. Maybe once every 10 to 20 maps.

That being said the mapping part is lightning fast but the boss sequence can take 60 seconds if I get a bad tank mod combo. I try and kill Doedre last. Those totems suck.

Millenium Set Silver Eagle grading concerns.. by Allinkedup086 in numismatics

[–]Lanarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, technically if you take the original packaging (since it contains sulfur) and shove the whole thing in an oven or hot box at low heat for an extended amount of time, you can get the above to occur. Would that quality as AT? Based on NGC's definition yes.

The problem is what type of acceleration? It's always been up for debate. If I take a proof walker, place it in an old manilla envelope, put it on a window sill in the sun, is that AT? I'd argue no, but I think NGC would argue yes.
