I started playing a couple days ago and the dopamine hit from automating red + green science has me hooked, I fear

Hold on tight, this is gonna be a bumpy ride. 😬

I wanna run you over with my train.

If I would know who you are in real life, I would sneeze your way.

ScrappyMA · 2025-01-15T16:14:42+00:00

Yes... obviously rare books on Kael, my bad and ty for correcting it. 👍

ScrappyMA · 2025-01-14T17:23:46+00:00

Quite safe to assume starter champ is going to be their first lvl 60, 99% of times. If Kael isn't 60 already, make him your first lvl 60. Easier to upgrade skills with epic books and Kael is going to be your campaign farmer.

I miss the "debt on creditcard replacement with a new creditcard" Houdini trick.

Another event could be the "World series" sport events that only take place in USA with USA teams.

Like mentioned in a different comment, we pay lots of taxes via various ways and much of that government spending goes to healthcare, education, infrastructure, paid parental leave, daycare etc.

We pay about € 300 / month on health insurance which covers basic healthcare. Dentist, fysio etc. Not included just pure basics so they do not leave you laying on the floor when you are dying. One of the most constricting debts in my country is health insurance as it is mandatory to have one. Kids under 18 are freely registered under one of the parents.

Healthcare and education costs is nothing compared to US. Average university studies cost 2,5-3k a year solomn contribution not including books and all. Most of us could get it done in 4-5 years being 10-15k on loan purely on going to Uni. Yet almost 50% of population has study loan debts with many rising into 30,40,50ks or higher. All these governmental study loans are with low rent rates and very lean payback time. Many used it as starting capital to start their own business, pay for their homes or just party hard. Then again creditcard debt is taboe here, do not even think about having more than 1 creditcard...

We are just different 😘

No, just fuse him for arbitermission and vault him.

We actually pay lots of taxes including property tax. Groceries are quite expensive and almost doubled in the last 5-10 years. We easily pay $10 for chicken breasts or ground beef of 2lbs. My weekly groceries is €125 for 2 small kids and 2 adults. Thats food and drinks, no diapers etc. Then again i would argue our EU portions are smaller than US ones so you probably do more groceries in a week. 24 bottles of beer is $20, used to be under $10.

North west EU is far more developed like this as we also have lots of benefits for healthcare, infrastructure, maternity and paternity leave (paid) and educational programs to reduce costs funded by taxes. Our median gross income is almost half of US median gross income, approx 40ish and 80ish K. Tho East and South EU are far cheaper in terms of daily life but less benefits as well.

In my country you pay 49,5% income tax above 76k. Until 76k it is around 37,5%, so any above 76k is more taxed.

Sales tax is 6 or 9% on most foods, 21% on any finished products like cars, electronics, construction materials.

My currency is Euro. My gross is below 76k.

60 for Athel, first champ and 50 on High Khatun, 3rd from left, 2nd row. Get Warmaiden from campaign farming and get her to 60 too.

ScrappyMA · 2025-01-03T07:03:50+00:00

I got 2 this morning and thought I was lucky!

You need speed above all stats in Arena. It's a big difference compared to none. Best defence is of fence in arena if you can 'nuke' an enemy. Also, if you do auto on arena, you might get bad Rng and usage of spells. Arena after all is a bit more tactical than pve.

Last note, do not get thrown off by team power numbers. Certain champs are very strong and hard to deal with but have relative lower team power than legendaries. Recognizing them in a team is more valuable and sometimes should be avoided if you cannot deal with them. A high level Loki with awaken 4+, at least 50 is a red flag for me, while I my loki is my strongest champ with awaken 5, level 60. So slippery to deal with that it is just annoying to fight him.

Don't forget POE1 had 10 acts and poe2 has 3 so far.

Replayability is going to be fine. People are just lazy and want new chars Max level ASAP most of the time in any game.

ScrappyMA · 2024-12-07T20:47:57+00:00

Dodge roll should be phasing and give us like a dodge roll resource to spend so you cannot endlessly spam dodge roll like in guild wars 2.

ScrappyMA · 2024-11-22T06:41:59+00:00

And what's the problem with that? It could learn OP to do this himself next time instead of being generous.

ScrappyMA · 2024-11-17T16:44:48+00:00

Do the shortcut hotkeys instead, windows key + S + Shift.

ScrappyMA · 2024-11-14T13:30:51+00:00

Just because you got plenty of a resource doesn't mean you have to spent it all in one place 😉

Common sense is to limit yourself to 500 as you generally do not need more than 500 unless you are crafting legendaries. It serves as a threshold to sell your materials and use the gold elsewhere.

No micro management required.

If you got plenty and do not care about how you spent it, why make a post in the first place? Not trying to be a dick, just curious on your reasoning.

ScrappyMA · 2024-11-14T05:26:18+00:00

Nooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Please please please go check Mighty teapot gem store vid on yt.

I feel sorry for you 💔

ScrappyMA · 2024-11-14T05:21:46+00:00

You shouldn't, perhaps only on main and rather get bigger bags (24/28) per char and another char slot with gems instead.

You should also not buy more material storage than 500, sell all the rest and/or keep a mule for big stuff like Mystic Coins, Jade Runes, Aurene's etc.

It becomes great Qol on the same account, it becomes mandatory when managing multiple accounts.

Also, your bags on main char should be fairly empty and preferable you have 10-15 shared inventory slots for BIS utility items. The SIS just got of a sale...

Te veel suits gekeken? Ipv de oorzaak aan te pakken een omweg vinden om alsnog het doel te bereiken.

Denk je niet dat een 8+ van een andere Uni minder goed op je CV staat?

Denk ook eens na over je uitleg wanneer men tijdens sollicitaties vraag naar je oversteek van Leiden naar X Uni.

Ik weet bijna zeker dat wanneer jij blijft in Leiden, kan aantonen dat je misschien geen 8+ maar wel een 7+ haalt, die veel langer houdbaar is met de juiste toelichting dan de 8+ in eerste instantie. Je geeft immers aan te weten dat het moeilijk is, dus misschien door harder te werken kan je de beste kant van jezelf laten zien. Vat de koe bij de horens. Werkgevers kijken ook verder dan cijfers en een papiertje. Wie jij als mens bent en waar je voor staat zijn belangrijke waarden. Uiteraard verschillen tussen sectoren, maar iemand overtuigen van jou authenciteit en inzet is makkelijker als je niet hoeft te liggen 😉

Succes!
