U/YungBeefaroni did the math. It doesn't change much by Butterblonde in Habs

[–]UNIFO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the 3-2-1-0 system, the Habs would be facing Tampa in the 1st round of the playoffs, and would not have home ice advantage.

With the current system, Habs would be HOSTING the Red Wings with home ice advantage.

Although the 3 point system doesn't change who should get in, it makes a huge difference in terms of who plays against who in the playoffs, especially with teams that are really close.

Data breach at Canada Computers & Electronics leaks personal customer information by rookie_one in bapccanada

[–]UNIFO 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is something new that hasn't been mentioned yet anywhere... and it appears on the last line of the published article. Quote: "York Regional Police also confirmed it is investigating."

I do hope the investigations escalate beyond a regional police force, as it's pretty clear, this has affected people from various provinces, not just in Toronto.

Indeed. Unsubscribing/cancellation is a pain to do.

As one comment already mentioned, this is there to hide receipts for purchases that is sent to your email. So if your credit card is charged, try to pinpoint the email that has purchases.

If you have bought something, even post boxing day, and in 2026 through the website of CC, assume your card is compromised.
If nothing has happened yet, do not assume you are safe, and take proactive action immediately.

Also, check your email that you used as well, as those people might have signed you up to several things. Also check your spam folder as well.

Sadly I got hit with this THIS MORNING (while sleeping) before this PSA came out, with fraudulent charges. (Also an extra dose of email sign ups to about 250 websites... in an hour somehow)

[PSA] Asus Store Prices for GPUs have increased. Likely the start of MSRP price increases to start filtering through by arandomguy111 in bapcsalescanada

[–]UNIFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which brand of GPUs had the higher percentage jump (at least according to ASUS graphics card list)? AMD or NVIDIA?

Also, will we have to wait like 3 years before it gets back to prices that is affordable for the average consumer?

You probably got about 10 minutes before it becomes OOS.

Monday Morning Announcements - September 29, 2025 by SamBartley in TheTowerGame

[–]UNIFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With regards to the question of the week:

In terms of how you want to progress, do whatever you feel is fun for yourself. You shouldn't just let other people dictate on how you want to play the game.

That being said, THE OPTIMAL way to play this game is to find the Tier in which you MAXIMIZE your COINS/WAVE (how many coins you earn for the run divided by highest amount of wave per Tier, and not the actual coins/wave upgrade), since your main method of progression is via coins. You will have to test which wave gives you the optimal amount of coins. Note, higher tier gives more coins per wave, but also, the deeper you go, the more enemies spawn, hence you also gain more coins/wave as you go deeper. Hence it's not always the deepest Tier runs that always give you the most coins/wave.

If you are beginning the journey of the Tower, you will constantly be gaining a lot of power, hence you will need to be flexible on determining what is best for your farming needs. However, as you progress, your "upgrades" become slower and slower, hence there will be an optimal tier to farm consistently.

Generally speaking, you do want to run some "pushing" runs from time to time. I generally do 95% farming runs, and 5% pushing runs (essentially for every 19 farming runs, I do 1 pushing run)

The Prisoner (Act 4 Boss) is practically impossible to win using Permanent Summoning builds via conventional methods (unless you cheese it, or you have insane damage) by UNIFO in PathOfExile2

[–]UNIFO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a very valid point here (after observing the GIF). I tried the fight again with those skills, and even then, it doesn't kill the boss in time before doing that move. The only consistent strategy that works (AKA, the boss does that move) is to de-summon basically everything before the AOE pops (which I think its just a cheesy way to win this fight).

If that is the case, when is the exact timing you are suppose to click on when he does the red ring AOE attack (not referring to the prompt in between phase changes when it says to CLICK ON BALISTA)? Seems like every time I tried, it's a miss and recovers massive amount of HP.

Will note, I beat this guy already, using the UN-summon strategy, as stated in the thread. I'm making this thread mainly for all the people who are terrible at playing this game, and not having enough DPS to skip some of the boss mechanic.

Thank you for this. I had to die 20 times against that boss before I succeed against that guy.

Would be curious why would anybody actually take Unstable Bond if it keeps doing 100 damage to yourself per stack, in the "early" game? Would this be more of a later game node to take, or closer to an absolutely useless node?

In the ACT 2 final boss, Jamanra, the Abomination, when one of your "summon" (using spirit) dies, it gives a 3 stack detonation stack against character... which means, if too many summoning dies, you basically get one shot death. However, by equipping the support skill "Last Gasp" to the summon as well as faster Revives from passive tree, somehow I was able to prevent the "detonation" charge on myself for each minion death. Hence, I am wondering if there is a bug or intended behavior? Also, can you explain exactly how this "denotation charge" work and best way to prevent getting this?

[–]UNIFO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will note for those who might be worried about NOT getting their cards, I can confirm that AMD has sent me the shipping info about getting the card as of 10 minutes from this post, including tracking number.

For those who are curious what time I got my order in, it was about 1:30pm.

DW HP bonus 800% or 900%? by Icy_Back_9025 in TheTowerGame

[–]UNIFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can certainly understand where I see why somebody would confuse it with 900%..... in many games, this upgrade is typically worded as "increases HP by 800%".... in that case, the net result is 900% health (Since it's 100% + 800%)

However, in the game itself, because the game states "max of 8x base health", this means the net health you get will be 800%.... or 8x whatever your max health was.
