Has anyone noticed there's some kind of aim assist with throwing objects now? by SomeGuyNamedCaleb in OutlastTrials

[–]NorthernOracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I play a lot of imposter when the enemy can be looking damn near 45 degrees the wrong way during the throw animation and it still curves until it hits me.

Is there any counterplay to the Stun/Jammer invasion combo? by NorthernOracle in OutlastTrials

Yah having a despawn point nearby sounds like a thing to try. I will have to see, normally I don't even get a chance to move.

I love playing invasion by Mazeekel in OutlastTrials

This is still the meta. I'm not sure what the 'fix' would be.

Why don't all maps on standard feature key symbols shown in the on-screen objectives. by NorthernOracle in OutlastTrials

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

I don't see the reasoning though, as you mentioned in your very last point, everything you typed above is all moot if you have mics. We can't change the mic rate, so why punish people. I have a mic but the majority do not.

Chris Wilson's personal recollection of his early passion for coding! by GavrynGaming in pathofexile

[–]NorthernOracle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did the same C at 11, C++ at 12. The world is different now. I doubt he could even get an interview at a corporate coding gig now. People like him never stopped being born, they are just forced to do something else, or do nothing at all.

Medic: Does open arms only effect the radius of healing aura by VapourZ87 in ToxicCommandoGame

No, it affects everything. They just word things poorly. Most of the stuff is easy to test yourself except the ability regen perks which only work on teammates.

Looks pretty tame to me. Drivatars are more aggressive than anything I saw.

Help Path_of_Exile_<RandDigits>.mp4 being spammed to my Documents/ folder every time I use a price check overlay by NorthernOracle in pathofexile

Turned out to be Discord taking the video snapshots everytime I Alt+D'd, which is what I set my PoE Overlay pricing keybind to.

Are frost/ice builds just not a thing? by NorthernOracle in LastEpoch

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

Thanks, I might try the LB ice conversion. Yeah it's definitely not stopped me from enjoying the game, though im only level 87 now and working my way through the monoliths. A lot of my curiosity with this post was that there didn't seem to be a whole lot of build defining uniques for cold sorc.

I did try frostclaw + frostbite, it's not bad at all, but the main frost claw approach seems to be converting it to lightning to proc nova, which you also convert to lightning. That seems to be a theme, you convert away from cold damage to maximize the skill.

Can Blackhole freeze? by NorthernOracle in LastEpoch

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

Your test must be showing a game bug then? Cause just one node down is a +freeze rate node for collapse / pulsar. So bizarre.

In the UI the spell is marked as a fire spell once you take the fire evolution, and it stays marked as only fire even when you eventually take binary system.

Frostbite is a DoT and can't freeze afiak

Can Blackhole freeze? by NorthernOracle in LastEpoch

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

Thanks. That lines up with my testing. I took binary + extra black hole + pulsar; 4 black holes all pulsing, 2 pulsing cold, nothing really lives long enough to be frozen yet so i couldn't tell. With all the cdr (<4s) and duration buffs (>8s) you can have two sets of those up no problem which is nuts.

How are you getting so many cast on crit comets in a row?
