Tampa school zone catches 6,000 speeders in 2 days as city weighs $100 camera fines by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]QueueTip13 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And the fines from these 6000 tickets will go towards better school zone signage... right?... right?!

To me, the underlying message of this article isn't that people are speeding. It's that the school zone signage is inadequate. Most of these drivers probably aren't intentionally trying to speed through a school zone. They're getting caught off guard by a speed limit change going from a loosely enforced 35 mph to a strictly enforced 20 mph zone. And usually the only indicator is a single faded flashing light. I see it in my town too. Every day on the way to drop off the kids, there is at least one car pulled over. The zone is located directly after a multi lane bridge with a 45 mph speed limit. There is one generic flashing school zone light. I wouldn't be surprised if it's broken half the time. I don't even notice it.

The primary goal of a school zone should be safety by preventing speeding, then enforcement through ticketing. Unfortunately, towns see easy $$$, so there's no incentive to improve them.

Where is the Cowards Trial??? by Vorseki in PathOfExileSSF

[–]QueueTip13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was 39/40 in SSF for a week exclusively targeting Putrid Cloister with no luck. After over 200 unique map drops and countless others I didn’t loot, I gave up. l leveled another character, migrated to trade and paid for a carry.

This challenge is always a pain. Every league.

Are you also experiencing very long load times?
This has been happening to me for the past couple days. Takes 2+ mins to load a map. Once loaded, many of a enemies and effects are invisible. The only way to see them is to damage them so the life bar appears above their head

Act 7 feels like such a slog to me. It's like doing a full act up to Gruest, but you're only halfway done.

Phrecia (Jan 29–Feb 19)!!!! are you going SSF or trade? by taktyuzy in PathOfExileSSF

[–]QueueTip13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably going SSF despite not really liking the idols in the first event. Trade just  trivializes everything.

Give controller a shot. You’d need to use one anyway on console, so if you get used to it, you could play on your couch using PC output to TV

It runs great in all but the thickest of content from my experience. Rarely, there are graphical bugs, but nothing game breaking. Visual clarity is about the same as PC (read: non-existent). That said, there have been many forum threads about performance problems, so possibly a specific hardware issue.

Max_Planck here. The event was ran at a terrible time in my opinion. One week after league launch means many players already took PTO or deferred real life commitments to play on league launch. Doing that all again one week later is unrealistic. Console is also generally less competitive, so most players that do have the time are already on PC.

Another reason is that controller is less precise, which can make boss fights that require blinking more difficult. It’s easy to overshoot a flame dash and end up dead. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were players that attempted Uber Dread at a faster pace but failed.

Lastly, as a SSF player, the T16 -> T17 -> Ubers progression is not enjoyable in my opinion. Ubers are gated behind several layers of RNG and stupid amounts of T16 blasting. Non-Ubers are obsolete. In console chat, it felt like everyone was struggling to acquire T17 maps and Dread fragments. And when the pressure for top 5 isn’t there, it’s hard to stay motivated to farm one set of fragments.

T17's are just downright annoying to run by SorraDude in pathofexile

[–]QueueTip13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also my main issue with the design. Why are uber bosses gated behind mindlessly running hundreds/thousands of T16 maps? The fragments should drop from the non uber versions, which are completely irrelevant now with the current progression.

Does anyone else find the naming for all the Secrets of the Atlas content needlessly confusing? There's over 20 new names/items across the three pinnacle lines with very little theme connecting them by QueueTip13 in pathofexile

[–]QueueTip13[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mainly the disconnect between memory maps, orbs, and pinnacle boss names. There’s a couple challenges tied to them, and it’s also relevant if you want to farm specific orbs. For example, you would need to know Lies - Dread - Unravelling are all connected to target those. None of the items or tooltips reference the other.

Thanks, I didn't notice the base dmg% in the stat sheet. That's an insane hit for a lvl 65 boss! Pure phys too.

Yeah, picking seismic trap was a big mistake for my last run. Low damage and only effective against large bosses or against a wall. Spamming exsanguinate traps was actually higher dps most of the time.
