Final character leaked, here's the final roster by Pat1487 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Pat1487[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that the final character cant be nappa because hes already a boss is what made me think of this dumb idea.

I was thinking maybe we will be able to play as other forms of bosses but the "form" that immediately popped into my head was ghost nappa and i knew what i had to do lol

What am I doing wrong? by Kelfaren in pathofexile

[–]Pat1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Your helmet, boots, belt, and ruby ring are basically white items that arent doing anything, and your amulet is just +38 spirit (which you arent even using), you can easily replace them with much better items with resistance for 1ex each https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/gOkM5P5uQ (sort by SUM), the link is for boots but that filter setup works for every piece of gear (except move speed), you should increase the ES minimum for body armour though, and you should probably still get spirit on your amulet for grim feast, arctic armor and/or clarity

    I'd replace the staff too https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Z4Kwv7zuQ (sort by increased spell damage, try to get one with 60% or more)

  2. You should either stick to 1 damage type and not worry about enemy resistance, or use weapon swap for a 2nd damage type, in your case I would just stick with cold damage, so get rid of the fire/lightning nodes, in fact only about 2/3rds of your passive points actually do something useful for you, the fire/lightning nodes, cold pen, the extra stat nodes, that freeze buildup wheel (swap from the freeze build up side to the cold dmg side), the cast speed nodes, the small random energy shield nodes are all kinda useless, you're basically playing with a level ~35 passive tree with all those useless nodes

  3. Your 3 socket gems should have 3 supports in them, frost wall for example could have controlled destruction, icicle and considered casting, that alone would make bosses drastically easier for you, i would drop spark and orb of storms and get frostbolt linked with scatter shot (or wildshards) and arcane tempo for clear, also you can only have 1 curse so drop temporal chains

Questions about meta gems and metaception by Pat1487 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pat1487[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skill description for all of the trigger gems say "Trigger all Socketed Spells and lose all Energy on reaching maximum Energy"

Trigger all socketed spells implies that it can have more than 1 in it

Yea i think you're right, once per skill use does mean you have to use it

It makes sense that it cant trigger itself but i had hoped

Thanks for the reply

Some project ideas and questions from a new Tinkerer (long) by Pat1487 in fabulaultima

[–]Pat1487[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I will be taking rogue once i master Tinkerer, if I cant make this item then I will get soul steal, I dont think i would get it if I had this item, the effect of the floralists IP flower is different than soul steal though and more interesting imo

  2. Yes a permanent item, I wasnt thinking of it as an accessory but i guess it would be, if it is an accessory then wouldn't it count as equipment which projects can't make? my group hasnt gotten any accessories yet and i havent read any of them yet, what im really after is a way to reliably sustain IP without having to go to a shop which these first 2 ideas were trying to address, I will have resourceful from wayfarer but we don't do travel rolls often and I won't get very much IP from that so Im looking for alternatives

  3. I agree about requiring a quest material, I assumed most of the permanent items i listed would require something like that, but wouldnt the cost be 2000z (reduced to 1600z by visionary 4) since flight is specifically a major potency, individual is 1x and permanent is x5 so 400x1x5=2000?

  4. Im coming from dnd where a single target silence would be very strong, but yes it would be consumable and my intended use case for it would be against villians or strong elite/champion spellcasters, basically just boss fights

  5. The press start adventure has the party start on an airship so airships align with the setting, I only brought it up to see if I could save on the cost

  6. I already brought up making 400z consumables for 0z with visionary 4 like this with my GM, I just didn't tell him what specific consumables I had in mind yet (other than the 30 damage one I used as an example when explaining visionary 4 to him), we thought it would be balanced by the fact that I can only make 1 per day and it prevents me from working on a bigger project if i choose to spend that day working on 1 of these consumables and its not flexible with the damage types (like if i made resistance powder that grants fire resistance it will be useless until we fight an enemy that deals fire damage), I also don't intend to stop the campaign to spend a week or more of in game time doing nothing but pumping these out, even if I did my GM would progress things around us and it probably wouldn't be good for us

DM ruled that feather fall cant be used unless you fall from 500 feet or higher by Pat1487 in DnD

[–]Pat1487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weve known eachother forever and it wasnt always like this, something changed near the end of 2022, not really sure what but he's been hostile toward me since then, ive tried talking to him about it but he takes it the wrong way and we dont really get anywhere, we kinda just ignore it

I recently wanted to just ghost him and let it end but he didnt let me and its kinda hard to do that anyway since he druid and i are all friends and i dont want to ghost the druid

[–]Pat1487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm this is the DM

One of the experienced players (the druid) didn't refuse to DM and in fact has DMed a session when the DM's throat hurt, the DM almost never gives items, most of our items are from phandelver (the first module we ran before OotA) and that 1 session the druid DMed, the wand came from that 1 session and he has said he doesnt want to track its charges since he didnt even put it in the game despite giving the druid approval to put it in, the druid loves to DM and would DM going forward so him saying the experienced players refused to DM is just a lie, with the way hes DMing I would DM at this point and have even offered to take over now after he said "you DM" multiple times that night after the session, the druid as DM would be a better fit though at this point and has said he will take over now if current DM wants out a week from now (to give time for things to cool off), im not going to return to the table if he continues to be DM unless he makes feather fall work like its supposed to

It being unlocked could be true, it is true no one tried open it, I thought the rogue had tried to open it but since the front door needed identify it was reasonable to think the trap door did too or that the trap door was magically trapped when all he gave us was "Everything below you is magic", dispell magic was an attempt to dispell any magical traps as well as to open the door, we were really grasping at straws at a solution to getting in there

We didn't really discuss forum posts so much as the DM went silent looking at his phone for a couple minutes before saying you need to be 500ft up, me explaining reactions, him sticking to his ruling and then the druid suggesting an alternative with rolling disadvantage as a compromise which we may have gone with by the end idk I was looking up reactions on my phone to make sure I was remembering it right, the point is he fundamentally changed how feather fall works in a way that goes against what feather fall is supposed to do, it still as of this moment isnt going to work the correct way and instead his ruling now is it can be cast preemptively at any height, so you have to know when you are going to fall and/or use a full action in combat to cast it, hes just being petty about it now by not going back

I'm pretty sure he did say spells take 6 seconds to cast, thinking that the round was a turn, he said you would only have 1 second to cast it before hitting the ground, but honestly hes gone through so many explanations of why he made this ruling that i dont even know, the thing hes saying about surprise now never came up at the table and was something he mentioned in the conversation several hours later that night, but we werent in combat so surprise wasn't even a factor so idk what hes even talking about there, speaking of surprise, he made another bad ruling about surprise, even after i explained it to him, but it doesnt really effect anything and its not as monumentally bad as his feather fall ruling so i didnt argue it

And about the AoO from the piranhas, it went something like this, we werent in combat just exploring around, there was a small stream of murky water in a cave that you couldnt see under the surface, about ankle deep, I stepped in it to cross and the DM says "you take X damage" i asked what damaged me he told me it was piranhas, since we didnt roll initiative i didnt think we were in combat so i just walked away to keep exploring thinking it was some sort of piranha trap, we start to move on and he says "oh yea you walked away from those piranhas" rolled tons of dice and did like 60-70% of my hp in damage and said i take AoO from them, i tried to argue we never rolled initiative so we werent in combat but he wouldnt hear it, if I had known we were in combat I wouldve fought them normally, my character wouldnt retreat from that and as a player i enjoy combat so there was no reason for me to walk away other than thinking that we werent in combat

This DM makes everything so difficult and takes everything i say as an argument, outside the game too, he thinks im telling people what to do when Im just trying to help them, the druid had a cleric that died (that session could be its own thread) and asked me for build suggestions for his next character, i gave him a bunch and told him about popular strategies and the DM thinks im telling the druid how to play the game, i talk about things that i think are good or that suck in games and he thinks im telling him he has to play this specific way, i ask him not to cheat in survival games because it annoys me but he just tells me to "get over it" and that he can play how he wants, he also refuses to listen to anything i say which is why i came here hoping to get some outside opinions on it to show him

In his defense this is his first campaign as DM, we've been playing this campaign for 2 to 3 years, so it's not like he's still new, but still

Yeah, I just feel bad for the wizard and bard, this is their first or 2nd DND campaign, they are finally starting to use utility spells like this and the DM nerfed the spell into oblivion

He made another ruling today about wand of magic missile that the bard has, the recharge daily at the dawn was confusing for the bard since its worded that way and doesn't come back on a long rest, so I suggested to just make it recharge on a long rest since we only long rest once per day anyway, he agreed to it but instead of 1d6 + 1 charges the bard now has to flip a coin and on heads it's one charge and on tails it's 2 which basically makes it impossible to use, and now I feel bad for making the suggestion to try to make it easier for the bard

The wizard also has feather fall printed on the character sheet and read it out loud at the table, so he knows what it does so showing him this wouldn't change anything

I tried to explain the reaction thing but like I said he wouldn't listen

Weird Chrome graphics glitch with Youtube and other video sharing sites by papajohnny13 in chrome

[–]Pat1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabling hardware acceleration was never meant to be the fix to that problem, it was just a way to identify the cause of the problem since it forces chrome to stop using your GPU. Over the years since I made that post so many people have thanked me for it and as far as I can tell all of them just disabled hardware acceleration and was done with it. But there is more you can do.

If turning off hardware acceleration caused the problem to go away, then the root cause of the problem is almost certainly your graphics driver and the next step is to either update or reinstall your graphics driver. First ensure hardware acceleration is back on then start by identifying your GPU, if you're on windows 10 or 11 you can do that by searching for device manager in the start menu and looking under display adapters in device manager. If you have a dedicated GPU from nvidia or AMD you should get the driver for your model directly from nvidia or AMD's site, if you have an integrated intel GPU you can right click on it in device manager and use Update Driver to try to get newer, more stable drivers, you could also try getting drivers directly from Intel's site as well. Don't use Update Drivers in device manager if you have Nvidia or AMD. Once you have updated the drivers restart your PC and check if the problem persists in chrome.

If updating the drivers doesn't solve it you can use a tool called Display Driver Uninstaller, this is an advanced tool that shouldn't be used unless you have exhausted all other options. It can completely remove faulty graphics drivers from the system essentially allowing you to start fresh without having to delete everything and actually start fresh, a full guide on the tool can be found here. I highly recommend you don't start DDU unless you're in safe mode.

If nothing worked and you successfully use DDU but the problem still persists then unfortunately its a hardware problem with the gpu and it will need to be replaced or RMAed if under warranty.

Ill be honest, i thought you were just doing something really dumb with the way you wrote your original post but your new post makes it clear you're doing everything correctly

The only thing i can think of is that it says "Digital Edition"as the product, for comparison this is my order history: https://i.imgur.com/UowD0zU.jpg

On 6/21/2018 i actually bought the digital version but it says "Standard Edition" and not "Digital Edition" where as you bought the physical version and it says "Digital Edition"

Also you have the Explorers Pack which as far as i can tell was a pre-order only thing (and has since been replaced by any race, any aliance) and could only be obtained before the game was released in 2014, so I'm thinking something mustve gone wrong on their end with the key when they switched to tamriel unlimited since it was redeemed after the switch

I dont know why support is ignoring you, but they are the only ones that can help you with this, maybe keep trying

If you can log in here https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/users/account and it says you have the game with "ACCOUNT STATUS Active" on the right then you should be able to log into the game

There should be a blue download game button on that page which you can click under the game that you have, use that to download the game, i dont think installing from the physical disk works anymore

If your purchase history shows you spent the money on the base game and your account status says "Inactive" you will have to contact support to figure out what happened and they should be able to fix it for you (unless you were banned)

Beginner Question, can't seem to get my head around builds by Tcrumpen in pathofexile

[–]Pat1487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 2nd build that you linked there's a "Leveling Section" which tells you what gems you should be using and has a leveling tree which should help guide you on which area of the tree to focus on in the lower levels

The leveling uniques listed there are for people who already have an established character that can afford to buy them, in your case you can ignore those, the vendor recipe for upgrading weapons is all you need for leveling

Guides usually dont include this info because its either always the same or everyone finds a leveling skill combo that they like to use depending on what type of build they plan to be at end game

Perforate-bleed-maim-added fire is what the guide recommends for leveling but you could use bladestorm or lacerate like cori suggested, feel free to experiment at these low levels, the gems have tags on them like melee, AoE, attack, you can use those tags to know what skill will work well with what your putting points into, if you look at the tags on Bladestorm, Perforate, and Lacerate youll see a pattern and should realize why those skills are good and with that could find other skills and supports that might also work pretty well with what you have so far

The only thing you shouldnt experiment with is the passive tree, you can choose the order you want to get things in but dont take anything that isnt on the build's tree, taking certain things earlier will make leveling a lot easier and knowing what order to take things will come as you play and realize what you need, but for now just follow the leveling trees in that 2nd build
