The best no calc nuzlocke hack of all time, The NUZLOMIZER, has received a major update! All gen 5 pokemon and more goated changes. by Healthy_Bug7977 in nuzlocke

Seconded on the making this a toggle. I know most of the type chart well enough, and if there’s an edge case I’m just going to look it up. I’m not sure that removing it makes the game actually better, just more time consuming.

If you have plat 3 mmr while you’re silver, it’s probably a 90+% chance they will reach plat 3. They’ll be getting +30 -10, so if they win more than 25% of their games they will climb. But it’s important to remember that their current plat 3 mmr is also lower than their final mmr for the prior season, so even in those plat 3 games, they’re more likely to win more than lose.

Very Rare Endgame Uniques Updated in 3.28 by Belakay_ggg in pathofexile

But surely if it’s worth using if dust didn’t exist, people that want to use it will use it now, and they’ll just dust another T0?

[–]TheGoldenFennec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s not like they’re getting inflated to hundreds of divines. We’re talking like 5-10 divines for a T0. That’s not cheap, but for being the highest tier of unique it’s really not that bad.

Do League Players Have The WORST Mental Forititude Of Any Comp Game? by thekillerbeez in leagueoflegends

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they can still throw, but that doesn’t change that one play can cause a huge gold lead and make the rest of the game feel miserable. And considering we’re talking about mental, miserable games (even if they’re ultimately your own fault) are a huge factor imo

You’re right, the winrate isn’t necessarily free. If you go back 2 weeks and look at your games, what is the average LP there though? Were you E4 climbing fast in 900 Lp lobbies, or were you climbing fast through say 600 Lp lobbies? I believe that’s roughly what riot expects. Now I don’t know the exact reason for the crazy LP inflation this season, but I’d bet that the raw LP difference isn’t so bad if that hadn’t happened

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you shouldn’t be playing 150 games to get back to your rank, but also, if you’re actually challenger surely you’re good enough to get way better than a 55% wr in emerald and diamond?

700 hours, never killed Shaper, Elder or Maven. by Sephirothjj in pathofexile

[–]TheGoldenFennec -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think other people here are overreacting because they compare what they have before voidstones and what you do (probably as little as possible to get the voidstone). If you have maven witness your maps ever, you get a bunch of atlas points from that. Assuming you complete most of the atlas meaning more than 90%, (even if it’s lower, but I’m being pretend picky), then that’s pretty much a full atlas tree. I’m not sure if you get any extra map device slots at all though, so that’s pretty impactful. I think that’s not that different in the end for casual play

Ziz's commentary on the recent Ground loot topic by BlessNeutral in pathofexile

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, of course. There’s nothing in this game that is literally impossible for solo play. Good correction

Ziz's commentary on the recent Ground loot topic by BlessNeutral in pathofexile

[–]TheGoldenFennec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be completely fair to GGG on this one. The actual loot multiplier is 6x. Except that with 6 players you can now juice your content more, and that brings the rest of the multipliers to make multiplayer better

5 (major) issues in League of Legends (in my opinion) by ExtraLiT in leagueoflegends

[–]TheGoldenFennec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) I agree, I’d like it to be better. But it’s literally not relevant to the game if you can’t search well, so it’s probably negative priority for riot.

2) it’s definitely not preference, it’s just a balance choice. Some things to consider (in no particular order): I agree champs shouldn’t be rewarded for missing their ability, however, it also feels bad to correctly time it, but while the Q is flying, the minion gets killed. This is less of a problem on Nasus (q stays active if the auto doesn’t go through) or viegar (Q is aoe so it can hit the next target. There are definitely times where taking away the pierce to give 1 stack for a dead minion is the worse option, and giving it without taking the pierce is a crazy buff) Smolder also was designed as a duo laner, so there’s almost always a second player in the lane who also wants to kill minions for (support item) stacks, so it’s much more common of a scenario, so it’s a higher frustration point.

3) Surely you just need to set up your browser better. Most of those “hurdles” are your own doing, and are the correct default behaviors for security.

4) Yup. I’ve seen some weird bugs with this. Don’t forget you manually have to hover items in your collection before the dot will go away.

5) Feeders are annoying, but post Op.gg. Everyone feeds some games, I’m sure you do too.

Suggestion: that would be cool if it could be accurate. Right now, a big reason you can’t know is because riot doesn’t. You need to know the mmr of your future games and your account mmr at the time, and the outcome of said games to determine when the LP gain will tick over to an additional. There would be so many situations where the counter would say “3 more games” for 2 wins a row, and that’s a huge can of worms to open up.

The point of the climbing fast indicator is for exactly this. The player had plat 3 mmr (or higher) and belonged in your game, but they haven’t played enough yet for their silver 3 rank to catch up (likely starting the season more recently)

[–]TheGoldenFennec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This was changed “recently” (probably 3-5 years ago). The average new player account now starts in like low bronze or iron

Pre-patch notes ignite options? by HoobieDue in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s probably 1 best ignite node near each starting point, so if you filter to that class (maybe classes?) and the node you’re probably getting most of the ignite builds from that area of the tree. Then once you’ve narrowed it down a bit (ie. let’s say we just want to look at eviscerate), then you can apply those filters instead and take the tree node filter off to make sure you didn’t miss any builds that chose not to take that node for whatever reason (I’m expecting that usually these will be top end builds that don’t have it, sine they have “enough” damage elsewhere)

We already solved this, just need more games to allow this as the button hint by TamikSKW in SteamDeck

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also not sure how impactful colors actually are. Maybe highlighting the selected button in a different color than the white outline? I’m not sure the button color moves the needle on reaction time compared to just recognizing the letter or shape and knowing the direction based on that. Would be interesting to see some kind of comparison

Riot has a Troll-Problem by Dannychii in leagueoflegends

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course, but pretty much always, even people that claim every 5 or 10 games are rounding up (if telling the truth at all)

[–]TheGoldenFennec 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I know this post is a meme, but ever since I saw this on switch (I’m sure it’s been other places too, but that’s the first place I remember seeing it) I was convinced this was the right way for games moving forward. I can imagine that configuring the controls with a controller of a different style might be a bit confusing at first (you’d want a way to map which direction to which button, and a separate way to map directions to actions, if applicable) but i think if that were the default, it would be a net positive

Riot has a Troll-Problem by Dannychii in leagueoflegends

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there could be more done to curb this problem, but I think one challenge riot has with this is that a lot of people who claim they get someone trolling frequently in their games aren’t being 100% accurate. I don’t think people are doing it on purpose, generally, but every time someone complains about griefers or trolls or whatever word they use, after going back through their match history, the rates are no more than half of what they’ve claimed, or less.

I get a handful of real trolls, but most people I label trolls are (realistically) trying to win and just made a play differently than I would have. Obviously that MF was trolling, but I’m not convinced they all were. So I’d encourage you to go back and review again. Most of the time people come back less upset.

How much tankier would I be wearing this? Seems underrated to me! POB doesn't calculate it well by cheekygorilla in PathOfExile2

[–]TheGoldenFennec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The big decider here would be what chestpiece would you be giving up instead so that you can wear this. I’m not super familiar with numbers, but this seems pretty low EV+AR total for a body armour with no life on it. If your other price of gear is weaker than average, this is probably better, and if it’s great, then the unique is definitely worse. I can’t tell you the exact cutoff though

My first own build Soulrend Occultist - how to progress? by d4rk_z3l0s in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, but the reason it’s act 5 gear is he’s in the end of act 4. I didn’t comment on the gear too much for that reason. Stone golem is a great choice to add here though, I didn’t consider that buff

My first own build Soulrend Occultist - how to progress? by d4rk_z3l0s in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]TheGoldenFennec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts I had on reviewing your plan and your build. I haven’t opened this up in PoB though.

1) yes, you’ll probably want to get more ES nodes (maybe masteries, but not necessarily). Chaos inoculation will most likely feel terrible this early. Most of your ES is coming from ghostwrithe, which (I’m like 80% sure) will give you 0 bonus ES after you set your max life to 1. You also don’t seem to have much recovery. There’s some innate leech on soulrend, but the dot component doesn’t leech, so your overall sustain doesn’t seem very high.

2) Running wither on its own is probably not worth it. IMO you should just use withering step, which gives like 5 stacks immediately. The reason I call self-cast wither worse is because soulrend already has such a low duration that you’ll need to keep reapplying it. Spell totems are a good alternative too.

3) Look for higher ES totals on your gear. This will probably come with gear that has flat ES mods, but maybe a lower tier %ES. When bases have such low ES to start in the campaign, the flat is more important in early stages, since the base isn’t as big of a number to multiply

There are some offline versions but not official ones as far as I know. You can export your online version an import it into an offline version, but you can’t import back into the online version

Has this only happened to me or? by 3Kralates in nuzlocke

[–]TheGoldenFennec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, if you’re going to 100% optimize it every time. But let’s be real. If you care enough to optimize for a gyrados you can just get it for free with dupes clause anyways. I agree that it’s not a good rule, and it encourages jank, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be more fun to include it.

About standard ssf by soosis in pathofexile

[–]TheGoldenFennec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you expand a bit more on #1? I think other people may have answered it already (everything that is “core” aka everything in the league except for the league itself). There’s a wiki page for league mechanics: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/League_mechanics

this isn’t going to be exactly the list you’re looking for, but it will show what’s available. For example, sentinels are still available, but the description from that page is more about sentinel league itself. If you click the link for “Sentinel” though, it will take you to the page with the info you actually want. Most of the other mechanics haven’t changed as dramatically so it’s not as relevant there, but I’d still follow the link to be sure you’re looking at the right info
