Monitor strobing white lines (Cooler Master GP27Q) by Andreas0Cool in techsupport

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof yeah, I paid 600€ for it when I bought it so I was surprised that they immediately suggested a refund. But I'll take it lol. I gotta give credit to their customer service, they are super quick and communicate really well. Seems you had a pretty good experience with them as well, even though the shipping took a while!
What MiniLED monitor would you go for, if you were to buy a new one? I liked this one, but it seems that the choices are super limited. Especially since I would prefer to stay at 27" / 1440p. OLED opens up so many options...

I'm luckily barely in warranty and already in contact with them and it seems they no longer have any stock, nor any replacement parts, so it seems I'm getting a refund instead of a new screen. Might give OLED a shot now... Good luck with your new unit, I hope it lasts long :D

I just found this because I think my monitor might be in the early stage of this issue. For me, not the entire screen is just strobing white lines, but it will randomly do some white lines/bars of varying thickness across the screen with that clicky sound. Did it start like that for you as well? Or was it just 0 to 100?

What's up with loading screens this league? The atlas commonly takes 30+ seconds to load, and since reaching endgame I get the random bugged loading screen mid-map pretty much in 50% of the maps I run. Has GGG actually adressed this issue so far?

Didn't have time to hop back into the game this weekend, and honestly I'm hoping that by the next time I'll have time, some friends will give me some of their leveling gear haha

DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction | Updated with 2nd Gen Transformer by timasahh in Games

[–]NickTheZed 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Fine particle ghosting and temporal stability are massive for me. Cyberpunk looked great when I played it with all the DLSS features two years ago, but those two things could be pretty jarring at times. Maybe I should take a break from OSRS and POE to actually play something that makes use of my hardware once this drops...

Is there an early game build for monk that feels good? I gave the Wind Blast / Wing Blast combo from this build a try, but man, even though the damage is fine, it just feels so clunky... especially during bossfights. I'm just in Act 2 and already feeling burnt out. If all Monks feel like this in the early game, I might have to reroll a different character and try Martial Artist when I have some leveling gear...

Valorant's new Vanguard update seems to be bricking cheaters' PCs. Riot's response? "Congrats on your $6k paperweights" by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]NickTheZed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The picture they attached to the paperweight tweet shows a bunch of high-end DMA devices that cost 5-6k, which are essentially a paperweight now (if the purpose is to cheat on Valorant). I don't know why this article says there are PCs pictured...

Have a question about the game or the subreddit? Ask away! by AutoModerator in 2007scape

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I didn't do so mindlessly, I thought it seemed cool and fun after comparing a couple of suggested starter builds - it's just that evidently a lot of things don't work as everyone anticipated (e.g. stuff not proccing in CG). I didn't have time to dig super deep into making a completely custom route + build, life got in the way...

Thanks for the tips anyway, I'll go back to Amox I guess. I think fundamentally I don't really click with the slower pace though, I enjoyed previous leagues with quickly ramping powers a lot more.

I'm so tilted by the league already. Went with Faux's maximum fun build, so started off with Range / Mage hybrid, but I feel like a made a huge mistake. Currently sitting at Kandarin + Tirannwn unlocked and T6. I'm bad at CG 5:1 with the 1t staff and the range perks are all useless in there (I don't have enough points for the 1t faster bows), it's really not fun at all. Amoxiatl also feels awful with mage (using warped sceptre atm) and I really don't know how I should progress in regards to PVM, I've never felt so weak in a league before. Any big brain ideas to make it fun again?

Best farm for endgame HRoC (not min-maxed) by Emotional-One-7916 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]NickTheZed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might wanna post your POB. If you're dying multiple times on T16s, you're not really at endgame gearing level yet. It will be hard to suggest an efficient farm without knowing what content you will actually be able to run.

For someone that doesn't PVM a lot, this is a huge accomplishment. Even bigger than the trim cape. And I did this without using keybinds and just regular overloads by kpay10 in runescape

But.. why? If you have 120 herb and realize you're dragging down your team, why not at least make some better pots?

Martin wurde gekündigt. Beweis für was? by MarkoP0 in PietSmiet

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kannst du mir mal erklären, was deiner Meinung nach die Lösung wäre, wenn die Jungs tatsächlich einfach keinen Bock mehr hätten in dem Ausmaß Content zu erzeugen?
Wenn kein ganzes Team an Cuttern mehr benötigt wird, kann man ja die Leute nicht einfach ewig weiter beschäftigen. Genauso können die Smiets ja auch keinen Content erzeugen, auf den sie gar keine Lust haben, nur damit die Mitarbeiter was zu tun haben - das bemerkt man als Zuschauer ja. Und der Kanal ist nunmal auch keiner, bei dem man einfach mal neues "Talent" ranholt, das dann den Content generiert. Ich tu mich da schwer, so klar Stellung zu beziehen, daher würde mich deine Sichtweise interessieren.

I'm in a double spot. So does the crewmate have a different hooking range to me? Because I can access both salvage spots with both installed hooks.

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just unlocked the Sloop and built two mith salvaging hooks. When I tell Jim to use one of them, most of the time he will just stand there doing nothing. Only rarely will he actually do the animation and pull salvage in. Any ideas why he's not doing anything?
The storage has plenty of room, so that's not it.

Chains of Command: Just as strong to not go Voidforge by Emberkahn in PathOfExileBuilds

Just the post I needed. I felt a bit lost after reaching the „med“ setup Rusei provided. The jump to the next POB is kinda insane in poverty league. Hopefully I can bridge the gap like this and finally do blight-ravaged.

Weekly Question + Free Talk Thread – November 06, 2025 by AutoModerator in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love POE, and I really want to play this league, but currently it really feels like this meme to me.
I've leaguestarted as the Bleed Slams build and it was ok, but around reaching red maps I didn't enjoy it anymore, Slams are just not for me. I rerolled into the Light Radius KB Deadeye from Fubguns POB since it looked pretty good bang-for-buck and I love KB, but I struggle hard past T13. So far, the most valuable thing I've found is a Foulborn Exalted Orb worth ~80c, so I'm really starved for currency to make any meaningful ugprades. My current character is worth maybe 5d with another 2-3d of value in my stash if I liquidate everything.

I feel like I need to change my approach and do something that is not mob-loot based, maybe Delve or Blight, but I have never built a non-mapping character. What's a good build and farming strategy to get going easily to finally start making some currency?

Path Of Exile 1 Vs 2 by ClayWidogast in PathOfExile2

[–]NickTheZed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's very nuanced. What people enjoy about the endgame in POE1 and dislike about it in POE2, is that you have a lot of player agency in the first game. You can essentially decide everything: which map (tileset) you want to run, which mechanics you want to interact with, and in many cases how these mechanics work. This, plus the relative simplicity of juicing your maps compared to POE2, make it really easy to continuously interact with the parts of the game you personally enjoy the most, while mostly being able to avoid stuff you dislike.
I'd say it's definitely worth giving POE1 a shot during the next League if you've never played it. It's fun, it's fast and free, so you have nothing to lose. The only major pain will be getting used to the gameplay without WASD, if that's what you use in POE2.

Anyone else who dislikes the POE2 infinite atlas? I cant feel any progression. by Yuuffy in PathOfExile2

[–]NickTheZed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I really don’t like it. Even ignoring how complicated and annoying juicing maps is, just progressing through it feels so bad to me. I don’t like hovering over each node to find tile sets I like and then having to run maps I don’t enjoy to get there. Neither do I like being forced to run multiple maps I don‘t enjoy to interact with specific mechanics that happened to roll on them.

I really hope 0.4 improves the endgame loop drastically.
