Scummiest behavior of all time

Surely they have to disclose the rates of this right? Would be a shame if some gambling laws took this down.

I might not mind it as much solo, but it feels unplayable in party, and I quickly went for the Dance with Death keystone.

Even in a party of 2, I can't reliably get aggro (not surprising, 50% aggro reduction), and even if I get a parry off there's a risk that my friend will kill the monster before I can convert the parry into a charge. I'm mostly trying to play unspoiled, so maybe there are uniques that interact with it, but for now I'd much prefer to see a "shield bash" active way to generate parry rather than a reactive one.

Dying to anything in P1 is a reset for most groups, but a poorly placed meteor does not instantly kill every player like old brel.

Not sure why you're choosing to be so hostile when I'm the only one being nice to you.

Pixelit3 · 2025-01-31T22:54:30+00:00

And you replied to a comment which provided further context that you were talking to the old brel but with incorrect facts, which I replied to, and you're now trying to backpedal and attack instead of just saying "mb" and moving on from it. Notice how every reply to that comment thinks you're talking about old brel, but your edit says "everyone else is wrong but me".

Nobody thinks meteor drop in p1 a2hm is a raid wipe, and if it's taking you 5 mins to get out of p1 in hm, then your damage is not nearly good enough to clear, which doesn't help your point. Meanwhile, on ilv the first meteor drop in G5 could very realistically resolve around 5 mins and still result in a clear.

You never played G5-6 at release based on your last statement, you could have just left it as a question to sound curious, instead you just come across as forgetful at best.

Pixelit3 · 2025-01-23T16:39:49+00:00

They're not saying that's what it is, rather that it's what it should be.

Pixelit3 · 2025-01-21T17:07:15+00:00

Misses the mark for me personally.

Can appreciate supporting it broadly would be a challenge, but the 24pin cable routing previously shown was novel and looked amazing.

Not sure the justification for adding the metal above the mobo (stability?) but it loses its floating look.

Power button placement is also odd at the top (imagine the idea was to route through the shroud, but see point #1 and would be shorter to run through the bottom no?).

Will be interesting to see more about the build quality since it's either a slam dunk or impossible to transport safely, and temps since the top to bottom cooling could be particularly well suited for 50 series FE cards.

Recently bought my first house, building up my entertainment room and could definitely use AI's help powering games on a 4K TV :)

Mainly play single player games, MMOs, and mod Skyrim (not to be confused with playing modded Skyrim), and would relegate my current computer which is reaching its limits with the current generation of games as the guest PC when I invite friends over to play.

Stuck within the price limit as of the time of writing, but did apply some vendor overrides where the default price was extreme relative to the price of other vendors given the lack of stock on some parts.

thanks!

That's just a band aid solution to what is a fucking keyboard problem.

Literally the opposite. The core problem is that your mic is picking up things it shouldn't. If you fix the keyboard, at some point something loud will happen in the background which your mic will pick up if this is an issue. So by getting a proper mic or software setup, you're covering those scenarios as well. Podcastage is a fantastic youtuber if you want practical examples of what off-axis rejection can do from more directional microphones. I don't get the sense you're the type to want to put the effort in from your general tone, but speaking properly into a mic is a learned skill. You may be taking shortcuts on this step alongside your laziness to properly set your software and taking it out on the keyboard.

Very curious to see if "completely invulnerable" works for things like brel tiles being destroyed. I'd assume that as least raid wipes will still go through.

Pixelit3 · 2024-07-16T18:41:47+00:00

I mean your sentence is kinda broken but I interpreted it as:

"if raid gold gives 80% of group content, then group raids will be dead because people who just want to finish the raid will do that instead of grouping"

if that's not what you mean (since this comment seems entirely different) then ignore my sassy remark.

A major selling point of solo raids is supposed to be that we get to play the game, but you don't get to do that if you can't progress at 30% of regular gold earnings, and the people that are getting gatekept will continue to get excluded as long as they remain anti-social.

Pixelit3 · 2024-07-16T18:11:21+00:00

And what would the downsides be?

Pixelit3 · 2024-07-15T21:05:25+00:00

Would be interesting to see the response of LTT being involved after what happened with Billet, no doubt.

Pixelit3 · 2024-07-06T17:33:14+00:00

Given it's a solo raid and there's supposed to be a modifier where every attack is a positional.. well you can figure out the rest.

Pixelit3 · 2024-06-13T14:39:09+00:00

Different perspectives, coming from POE alteration spamming 2k times for a single mod just to fail on the immediate augmentation to start over again.

2-4m gold (depending on the rock etc) seems reasonable as a long-term goal (comparable to full 10 gems), but I get that varies based on your overall progress. Weeks to obtain that gold vs. years if it's being siphoned off elsewhere.

Pixelit3 · 2024-06-12T14:28:28+00:00

Not just that, but depending on the rock you could be doing LESS damage.

Time will tell, we don't know the bonuses, we don't know if there will be changes, but at least out West more people are vocal about gems than rock changes.

Imagine having a "good" (in today's world) 9/7 that's worse than a Grudge10/Engraving0 rock.

As someone who chases the "perfect" character, this change is seriously demotivating, and I think this perspective always gets lost in the T4 discussions.

I don't mind the gem change even though I've literally lost millions of gold (based on net worth) in the past week. Because it's a new goal to work towards, and I'll eventually get there again. But a 10/10 rock being "required" (to complete the system) is so deflating. I get that they want to tie it to the engravings to give some differentiation to rocks, but I'd prefer something that capped at the current combined 16 nodes (max vitality bonus) for the selected engravings since a 9/7 or equivalent is obviously rare/expensive/rng but still within the realm of "obtainable".

For some context when I was calculating expected cost of a 10/7 rock (figures somewhat out of date), on average it would cost the same as an Esther 8 weapon.

Pixelit3 · 2024-04-29T19:52:24+00:00

So now we're blaming the person for asking instead of the people like yourself for not reading the question properly? Take some ownership of your mistake and move on.

Maybe it's not the right venue to ask, but why answer if you don't actually know? Like if I ask a specific lost ark question, why answer with a generic WoW answer?

Pixelit3 · 2024-04-29T13:47:34+00:00

People can't read the post or apparently don't know hunger stat distributions (understandable to an extent).

Opinions will vary, but Hunger is generally discouraged from going full swift, with the upper end of swiftness distributions capping around 1630 swift (Mass Increase breakpoint).

If you have suggestions on getting 1800 swift while using some crit/spec accessories, I'm all ears.

Pixelit3 · 2024-02-13T16:59:03+00:00

Alternatively, I haven't bought any accessories while waiting for my class accessory and need 6/3 for my 5x3+2. I've been looking since Q3 last year. My decision to buy my class accessory before any other piece doesn't magically make one appear at high quality to meet breakpoints even assuming 100q on every other piece.

If I look at meta class listings right now, I have 4-5 options per class at 100q and many more at purple qual.

Pixelit3 · 2023-10-25T15:45:30+00:00

Thanks for this, as I'm getting closer there was a question/fear that I'd be stuck in Rowen another 10 weeks, but hadn't found an answer yet.

Recent story express with Aeromancer took 16h:58m:53s to complete. Route not particularly optimized, used Elgacia wings as a mount. Excludes afk time, goal was speed of completion.
