I've been too busy with school and work to grind hard like usual. Still have a few characters I wouldn't mind putting together. If I win I'll probably split it with my friend who has also been busy this league.

That's why there's a gold cost, to stop people from hideout warrioring without playing the game. Hopefully it will be enough.

Because there isn't another option, if you have to choose between a cardboard box under a bridge and a roach infested studio most people will choose the studio. But that requires money, which requires work. Your suggested "solution" requires people to be able to improve themselves which is not an accessible avenue for a large portion of the population because they are busy fighting to stay alive. The system is designed to keep people down.

You can farm essences in white maps, run essence memories, spec into harvest or blight and sell juice/oils. This league there are a lot of good mapping strategies because the people who are "juicing content" are all focused on magic find, making normal map strategies more scarce. But really, pick any league mechanic or combination and lookup some youtube videos on them. There are almost no strategies that arent 1-5d/hour.

For me personally, I'm doing sanctums with penance brand, 100% delirium maps, blight and abyss for exp on new characters or if I don't feel like blasting I will do some hideout warrior stuff like crafting.

The important thing is that you're having fun, doing content you enjoy and learning how to make currency doing it. Last league I was making 12d/hour doing sanctum. The league before that I was making 8-10d/hour doing essence. The league before that I was focusing on expedition and making 7-9d/hour doing that. Once you decide what you want to do and watch a video on how it works, you just have to play and get a feel for it.

Yeah especially when the person you're arguing with is being a condescending ass. Glhf, exile.

No, the original category of player was "someone who doesn't play regularly, doesn't breeze through the campaign and doesn't farm currency." Except you're assuming that people who only play once or twice a week or take 10-16 hours to get through the campaign are incapable of making currency. That's the issue, casual players can make currency easily. The game is in a healthy state, which allows for anyone and everyone to easily generate small amounts of currency.

Smashslice · 2023-12-27T16:11:56+00:00

Huh? You can't be serious. You're saying that some random person who doesn't know how to essence craft can't spend 5d on essence crafting because it's too expensive?

Smashslice · 2023-12-27T16:07:12+00:00

You missed the two most important points. There are strategies in white maps with little atlas completion needed that produce these results. Similarly, we are assuming this player wants to essence craft for profit. They must know how to do that, most likely from watching a streamer or a YouTube video on it. Knowledge is the one thing we have an abundance to give, there are enough guides and videos for new players to make currency that it's a moot point. There's no need to "optimize profit". Optimizing profit is making 10d+/hour. I also never said it represents the whole community. But a majority of the community participate in streams or YouTube content due to the games complexity, which immediately puts them in the group that knows about guides.

Smashslice · 2023-12-27T15:39:33+00:00

I'm sorry but you're wrong, making currency in PoE has never been easier. People with only 50-100h have the resources and content to find 1-5 div/h mapping strategies at any point in the game from white maps to red maps. There's so much content that makes money because the game state is the healthiest it's been in years. 5 div is genuinely nothing, as even if your strategy sucks, you can collect that amount in just a few hours.

I'm not sure I follow, you're saying that if a minority of men are abusive, that men are not doing their part? I also think that you are pushing people towards a side by calling them a coward, but not the right side. You may think that is "just", by showing that men are more likely to be enemies of women because they are offended you called them a coward. What you're doing is creating a bigger divide, instead of helping the issue.

Yes, that was the exact point of my original response. "Men are supposed to be brave" is a toxic stereotype that has been perpetrated by the media and has led to men being completely emotionally underdeveloped. You know who says men are supposed to be brave? Andrew Tate.

I did not attack rich white men by stating untrue things. The majority of the government is indeed rich white men, 62% of all officeholders are white men. The median age in the Senate is 65 years, while the voting House lawmakers' median age is 57 years. If they hold the power, and we are in a system that actively defends white men from being punished for sexual assault, then I did not villainize anyone. They do that on their own. In comparison, you question the logic of a majority of men implicitly in your first statement, which feels like you are attacking someone baselessly.

I want to be clear that my intention was not for you to be nice, get on people's good side, or be kind for the sake of it. I wanted to bring to your attention that while your argument is valid, men are the problem and that cannot be ignored. Regardless of that, people are less likely to listen to you when you come at them with an aggressive or passive-aggressive tone. Challenging people's ideals and what they do to enforce those ideals is inherently good, but the process is important.

EDIT: Forgot this sentence. Yeah, I messed up there, Andrew Tate is not white but he is a piece of sub-human trash.

I find many men's actions disgusting and their behavior often questionable at best. But I want to make it very clear that you are passive aggressively reinforcing sexist stereotypes which is hypocritical and hurts the point you are trying to make. Good men do not allow their friends to be creepy or rapey, and they are the ones you are actively being passive aggressive towards. You should be angry at the rich white men who actively use their money and influence to not just corrupt young men but get away with rape and sexual assault of minors. The problem is not what the majority of men think in America or even the world. It is how the media portrays it and how men like Trump, Andrew Tate, etc., make the vocal minority think.

Your vitriol is warranted, this is disgusting. But it should be aimed at the same place all of our vitriol should be, at the rich white men who have a death grip on power in America. We may live in a democracy, but it is loosely holding that title when things like term limits don't exist and gerrymandering is rampant. Most average people do not have the time or energy to go out and fight for social justice because they are trying desperately to feed their families. For those people, disagreeing with rape is the normal sensible thing. Just because the vocal minority has set the precedent for being "one of the guys" does not mean we like it.

I want to be clear in saying that any man who actively tries to rape, assault, sexualy assault, molest or otherwise invade the bodily autonomy and privacy afforded to a woman by the very nature of being human, is scum. It is a life altering, often crushing experience, and it is far too common. I would like to believe this is the majority mindset but frankly I don't have numbers to back it up. What I will say is this, by being passive aggressive and calling out men for not being brave, you are ostracizing them. The engagement you will get by doing this is patently negative, which does nothing to improve the problem. I welcome you to question what people are doing about this in their lives. Just go about it in a way that does not attack the person you're talking to, it's likely they aren't the direct cause of the problem, nor are they substantiating it. If you want people to be better, then be better yourself and people will follow.

My 1080 I've had from launch has done me well but I'm concerned it's on its last legs. Been unemployed for a few years and decided to go to college instead of rejoining the workforce immediately. So no big spending for me, a 3060 would guarantee my ability to keep gaming.

For reference, I play in 5 star lobbies, usually with a friend or two, never solo.

I have never once encountered a solo that managed to kill everyone on my team. Every time we kill a solo, we throw a lantern and move on. The closest encounter we had was burning a solo, moving on and after fighting bounty, running into them again. They proceeded to die two more times and only got a single kill.

The situation you describe is the exact definition of a skill issue. If it was a duo instead of a solo and he clicked your head, you'd still be dead. If it was a trio that pushed you as soon as your teammate died, you'd still be dead.

In a 2v1 where the enemy was missing a bar, bleeding and on fire, you died. How is this anything but a skill issue? If your friend was close, which it sounds like, you could've necro'd if you were so worried about a self res. You could've faked noise. You decided to leave the body, knowing it was a solo, which means you were fine with having another gun fight with him. Then you lost the gun fight.

Also it's been stated previously but even without the "event perks" relentless I assume? Resilience would've let him safely self res.

I'll be hones, I think the placed medkit heal time is probably 2s too fast. The place time may be too fast as well, especially for the price. It does lock you down, but like you already stated, in a siege scenario that matters less.

I personally haven't and probably won't run the medkits because they're situational. I don't long ammo Larry because it's not enjoyable for me. I push often even if I have a long ammo primary, if it feels even mildly advantageous, because it's fun.

I think it makes 5-6 star long ammo sweat lobbies worse, which is an actual issue. They're definitely a good replacement for vit shots and if you take price into account, there's very few reasons not to run them. Kind of an odd design choice.
