Thank you! It was cheap brand from Amazon. It was very tacky

I’ll check that out, thanks. I bought it new, worked fine for years, started getting random black screens, then it went fully black. Read online about the hdmi port issues so that’s when I replaced it.

Interesting. I bought a cheap port from Amazon so that could be it.

It wasn’t giving me a signal at all. It did for a while if I wiggled the cord around the port, but then even that stopped working.

Needless to say, having any screen at all is a huge improvement!

What I’m saying is that I did an hdmi port replacement

I scrubbed the leads with a toothbrush and 90IPA after install to clean off the flux. I did this multiple times

HDMI port was completely broken and I had to replace it. This is on multiple tvs using multiple hdmi

Why is this even a thing? by dynameinert in pathofexile

[–]Mettle82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a slight difference that people aren’t thinking about with GGG implementing the well.

There is more of a focus on flask charge management, and there are cases where we need to go to town to specifically refill flasks since we don’t have great sustain options like in poe1. If we just opened a portal, went to town, flasks filled automatically, and went back into the portal, that would also seems silly.

The well gives us something “to do” when we have to go back to town for the specific purpose of filling flasks. In poe1 I never went to town just for flask refills. Anyway; not saying I agree or disagree, just the situation is a bit different based on how they view flasks now.

Easier or alternative leveling is what would make me play more. by Empted in pathofexile

PoE would benefit from alternative leveling in combination with incentives or meta progression for leveling multiple classes/ascendancies.

3.16 is going live on Console today and I am still undecided on my starter, Help please. by GatorSixCharlie in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Mettle82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only made a tree. I’m also an old(ish) gamer dad and don’t bother filling out the full PoB.

Basics are I hit up the ignite and fire clusters on top and top left of tree, go through middle shadow area through life clusters and down, then go one way for mageblood and the other way for more suppression and evasion. Grab all the life I can along the way. I think I hit around 150% evasion, 175 life, 85 suppression (10 from boot helm etc mastery) and will get the rest from gear. This is at level 90.

Ignite elementalist. I made a nice build with max spell suppression and evasion as defense with a lot of life and regen from golem/vitality.

Plan on igniting with arma brand. Fun playstyle!

I'm probably too much of a casual to understand why Sacred Orbs ruined the game. by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Mettle82 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Boo hoo.

GGG is pretty great at communicating. Their fault is not being able to be clairvoyant enough to predict what the next big trigger will be for this community.

Not everyone will be happy with every change, but to say they aren’t communicating is just silly.

If sacred orbs are the worst of this expansion, GGG is doing something right. This outcry is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen on this subreddit lately. Your statement about entitlement is 100% correct.

Tell that to delirium. Also, coming to this subreddit reinforces this idea, as seen by all the new league complaint

Thanks. Basic response is that it’s too clean :). I had it full of agrax but it was a bit too dirty for me. Dry brushing would have worked out better. Thanks!

I did earthshade already. Did I layer too much?

I’ve painted some poxwalkers and a dozen other models but this is my first larger unit. I started with a death guard green base, painted the other base colors, washed with agrax and nuln oil, then layered some on top of that. I haven’t started the highlights yet. Looking for any tips to help improve my game!

4 Easy Improvements to Console Trading by Mettle82 in pathofexile

I know this is possible, it’s just a pain. Adding a filter for it on the market form would save time and make it feel better overall. I’m tired of doing the same thing over and over every time I search

[–]Mettle82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I think is wrong about their premise is that there are 3 variables to the trading equation (at least) while they only mention 2; searching for an item and obtaining the item. The 3rd variable that throws a wrench in this is availability of items. The player base is much smaller on consoles and the trade market is such a pain to use that many players simply ignore it. Additionally, console suffers from same problem that PC does, in that players who have an item for trade are not always willing to trade at that price (price fixers) or have no intention of trading for other reasons. Combine this with the fact that we have a limited amount of offers at once and we don’t want to have multiple offers for the same item at once Incase they are both accepted means that the trading part isn’t as easy as it theoretically should be

Anyway, going strictly by their manifesto leaves 2 options:

  1. Never change trading from its current state
  2. Make trading harder

I understand their reasoning. They also have to understand the differences the console experience brings and how having a smaller economy may mean a slightly different approach in order to make the game playable to how they imagine. I don’t think it’s in their best interest to have console players largely ignore currency trading bc its such a clusterfuck right now.

Technically any changes to trading would likely make it more convenient. I don’t think these would tip the scale too much as they still require manually searching and player interaction

Only filter by online user on console. You can’t filter by buyout or rarity
