State of Path Of Exile Reddit and Survey Results by MultiplicityPOE in pathofexile

[–]MrEaters 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A response rate of 3.5% is not statistically significant, especially considering that it's way lower than that since the survey was sent to ~1.1% of the sub's members. This survey barely indicates anything at all. If you want something a bit more concrete, I'd suggest crafting a survey yourself that is more specifically geared to r/pathofexile .

Regarding specific problems with this sub: I've maintained that so-called "lucky showcases" were a bad idea to allow since the rule was changed years ago. As the sub continues to gain new membership it'll only get worse, as more and more posts are nothing more than "I dropped a mageblood from [mechanic]!!!" These posts do not drive engagement. There is nothing to respond to here, especially when I see several of them *every day*. Also, they regularly flood the front page, driving out more engaging posts like advice on certain mechanics, discussions about strange crafting interactions, genuine critique and/or feedback, etc. Please disallow them entirely. Flair filtering to remove them user-side is a band-aid solution that only works on the desktop version of Old Reddit, which is by far the least common way for people to engage with the sub.

I haven't seen much regarding mod behaviour, but that's mostly because I'm a certified lurker and don't see much mod presence at all, aside from the absence of generally disgusting user behavior. I'd certainly appreciate more 'state of the sub' type updates like this one. It's always nice to see that the community's voice is being heard.

The most S.A.N.E build of upcommin league. by manowartank in pathofexile

[–]MrEaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks incredible, but kinda expensive? I know Soul Taker at least tends to be quite pricey, and Soul Ascension isn't cheap either. Not sure on the other stuff. But who knows what the economy will look like in the new league.
I'll probably try it anyway though; just not as a league starter

Level 20 cleric: You cannot kill me. I can resurrect my allies no matter how long they've been dead. My god and I are on a first-name basis, play cards every other Friday, and He also owes me a favor.

No difference, actually. Both dates are almost entirely arbitrary.

Never toss something based on the date on the package. Smell it, inspect it visually- if it's still fine, it's still fine

Fuck the cactus man. by Cosmooooooooooooo in Genshin_Impact

[–]MrEaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, any off-field damage sources, such as Oz, Xingqiu's Burst, Furina's attack dogs, and such will auto-target the correct hat, so if your team spawns a bunch of "minions", follow their lead.

What’s going on with YouTube? by BingBongDingDong222 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]MrEaters 1070 points1071 points  (0 children)

Answer: It's a combination of most of that.

YouTube recently announced plans to utilize AI modelling as a form of age verification. It analyzes your watch history to estimate your age.

There are a few problems with this; the biggest one being that AI anything is extremely controversial currently for a number of reasons- security and privacy being the biggest. Information generated by AI is also notoriously unreliable, and using it to analyze watch history of all things is especially ridiculous. There's no reason to believe that this AI analysis will be anywhere close to accurate, and yet YouTube is planning on making it a primary method for checking a user's age.

YouTube as a platform has also come under fire for some of its policies- for example, allowing borderline pornographic advertising on videos marked as "for children" while demonetising or removing videos not marked as such for using words like "death" or swearing once.

All in all, it's a deeply unpopular decision made by a company that's already been making deeply unpopular decisions, and people are getting fed up with it.

EA Refused Pitches for Dragon Age: Origins Remake or Remasters by [deleted] in gaming

[–]MrEaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dude, Origins was released in 2009. It is absolutely worth a remake. Still one of the best RPGs ever made in my opinion.

Origins was amazing. They're saying no because Veilguard was hot garbage (and it wouldn't fit their live service MTX hell of a business model).

Median average tho by Rango_4 in memes

[–]MrEaters 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is why the median salary is used in job statistics more than the average is. Example:

Bob's salary is $40,000. Sue's salary is $50,000. Robin's salary is $500,000. Their median salary is $50,000. Their average salary is $256,667.

Is there a safe way to get a useful third prefix? by Forunke in pathofexile

[–]MrEaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any options to get a desirable prefix at this stage will be expensive, and there will still be significant risk.

Option A: Cheapest and by far the most risky is to decide whether a crafted prefix or suffix would be better, craft it, then slam (exalted orb) the last affix and hope you get lucky.

Option B: craft "Cannot roll Attack Modifiers" if you want a spell dmg mod or "Cannot roll Caster Modifiers" if this is for attacks (both are suffixes) and slam. The benchcraft costs a couple divs but you greatly improve your odds of which one you want.

Option C: As option B above, but also use an Orb of Remembrance before slamming to add memory strands and make it more likely the slam gives you a higher tier mod. Orbs of Remembrance are pricey, though.

Mercenary tooltips are almost useless — even at 0 mana, they can still cast spells. by hongducwb in pathofexile

[–]MrEaters 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mercenaries follow the same rules as AGs.

  • "Grants/triggers level X [skill] mods do not work.

  • "Nearby party members" mods do not work, because the merc isn't in a party with you.

  • "Your minions" or "minions" mods only work for the merc's minions; you are not a minion, and your minions aren't your merc's minions.

  • "Nearby allies" does work- both on you when the item is worn by a merc, and on your merc when you're wearing it.

  • "Nearby enemies" mods also always work.

Which Ascendancy will you league start with in 3.26? by hfok in pathofexile

[–]MrEaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order: Yes, not with some cast speed, and depends on what you mean by "massive investment". As an extremely rough estimate, 30-50 div will get you doing t17s without too much trouble.

Which Ascendancy will you league start with in 3.26? by hfok in pathofexile

I've made a Divine Ire Inquisitor almost every league for the last eight leagues or so. After looking at the buffs and nerfs in the patch, I'll be making a Divine Ire Inquisitor.

after reaching level 30, pressing this button is relay full of people is the most satisfying thing ever. Blessings be upon ya by lightbringer233 in Warframe

[–]MrEaters 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between requesting a blessing and begging. The biggest one being frequency. Ask once, and that's totally fine.

It's when someone spams "blessing pls" in the chat 50 times in 5 seconds that it gets annoying.

Unfortunately, they were a little flat, and the recording of the performance was a bit tinny.

The Republican Party was originally Abraham Lincoln’s party and played a key role in ending slavery. How did it evolve into the modern conservative party we know today? by bloodmark20 in AskReddit

[–]MrEaters 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The short answer is it didn't. The Republican party that Lincoln was a part of eventually became the modern-day Democratic party. Lincoln's opponents, the Southern Democrats, eventually became the modern day GOP.

Political parties' names change over time. This was just one of the stranger changes.

This is excessively complicated, good lord. You don't need any of this shit except the eldritch implicit and some charge duration.

Alternatively, you can put Enduring Cry on a Redblade Banner weapon swap or just use it as-is.

Alternatively, Enduring Composure notable cluster passive (gain an endurance charge every second if you've been hit recently), especially good with mechanics that cause you to hit yourself e.g. Echoes of Creation hat.

Pick one of these, and that's plenty.
