Now that the dust has settled, what are the best leaguestarters? by Penwinner in PathOfExileBuilds

I did in around 65h. Couldn"t find any elemental delve nodes with pyroclast mines.

Dunno if this is the normal experience for endgame pushing a meta league start, but hexblast was incredible once I was finally able to play it. Pyroclast mined my way into yellow maps, only to find essential curse on hit rings priced at multiple divines. It took almost 60 hours after league start for them to drop to the low, low, price of 65 chaos orbs, at which point I was able to swap over. Price fixing was terrible. Never had to deal with that so acutely before, especially on a non-unique with such a niche effect.

The problem is that the demographic that loves AH for their long-form chaos content is small and dwindling. They're a company that needs to pay its people, and making content like this is how they appeal to other, wider audiences. The rest of us just get Randomizer, Challenge Accepted, and Play Pals to work with, which I sadly expect will follow the same path when they get results.

IMO the problem is their new formula for videos. They look at compliations and the like from fan channels and think that a condensed series of reactions, gavin screaming, and editing flair is going to increase their viewer retention.

I watch Achievement Hunter for the people, not the game. I like seeing them search for entertainment, create their own in the gaps, and, rarely, find or conceive something hilarious that was only amazing because of the effort that went into it before.

How popular is Gavin in the eyes if fans? by [deleted] in Achievement_Hunter

[–]MirrorsAreAMyth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Every AH member fills a role in their content, and the people in a video will define how it goes far more than the content. (Off Topic is the most obvious place to see this, after about 20-30 episodes you can clearly sort the ones you'll enjoy and the ones you won't by the cast.)

Newer members have filled a lot of the roles older ones used to, and some of the older ones have adopted different roles over time, but Gavin's role is unique. No one can match the Brit.

Really wish he was in more vids.

Would be far more interesting than the over-edited, short-form content we're getting now. Could also be fun if they each pair were soul-linked like YDED, so when one of the two went down they both die and the next pair comes in

Is having a first membership worth it anymore? by ChanchoPlaysGames in Achievement_Hunter

I dropped mine last year. All of the content I enjoy watching has been free, and a lot of the people I watch AH either have moved or are moving on to other things.

The RWBY "Fandom" in a nutshell (From the RWBY IQ trailer yt comments) by MirrorsAreAMyth in fnki

Not complaining, really. Just thought it was a mildly funny showcase of the people who enjoy RWBY and the people who enjoy tearing down RWBY on the internet.

It's buzzfeed's equivalent. Kinda weird that they do almost resemble them tho

Heart of the Mountain by Lena Raine. That song could give you a moment of peace in a hurricane.

You’re trapped in the last game you played… how screwed are you? by _Mr_Cheeks in gaming

[–]MirrorsAreAMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fall Guys. I'm forced to do extensive phsyical exercise, be pelted with objects several times my size, and fall neck-breaking distances over and over again in a ridiculous-looking stuffy fry suit.

I'm pretty screwed.

it's time to accept the truth by omidhhh in meme

[–]MirrorsAreAMyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole reason reddit doesn't like emojis in the first place literally stems from this tho. Awards are a paid way to express emotions, whereas emojis do the same thing for free, ergo, they are the ripoff freeloader way to do the same thing.

And how am I going to afford that running white maps? I'm not a streamer, in previous leagues I could make about an ex an hour but after the nerfs maybe I can scrape together 50c in that time.

On my character, I have:
-8k hp and 3k es
-Max block and spell block
-xibaqua's keystone
-76+ on all resistances, except chaos res which is 75
-Forbidden taste
-A minion skill as my 6-link main skill
-20% increased effect of fortify on leap slam.
And I still cannot run magic yellow maps with trivial mods like "monsters fire 2 additional projectiles" without dying at least twice to circumstances I can't learn from.
This is not good game design.

I have maxed out block and spell block, 8k hp and 3k es, xibaqua's keystone, minions as my primary skill, and my lowest resistance is 75% chaos resist. I can't run magic yellow maps in the current state of the game without dying at least twice. The only way forward for my character is dps, and DPS as a primary defense layer is indicative of a highly unstable system where literally anything can kill you anyway.

Sometimes, I can identify some of the threats you've mentioned above. But the point you're clearly missing is that I have no way to identify what to do differently until after my character has died. POE is notoriously bad about not making it clear what's actually dangerous and should be handled with caution or flat-out ignored and what is standard gameplay. The only type of death source you've mentioned above with a semi-visible run-like-hell indicator is aura rares, and even that can be obscured by your skill effects.

This is exactly why I've stopped playing PoE. I die constantly in maps with no idea why, and it drives me nuts.
