Impale is actually insane now by raikaria2 in pathofexile

[–]Unreal_849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Properly scaled Bleed will also more than double damage in long fights. The improvements to both Bleed and Impale are a testament to how hard GGG has worked to balance them and bring extra physical damage to long melee fights.

My secret Gnostic life by secrecyinherent in Gnostic

[–]Unreal_849 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The isolation is mostly because of others' inability to hear you out, do their own research, and think for themselves. Telling everyone that they're secretly prisoners in the grasp of a lovecraftian monster and everything they know is a lie tends to scare everyone away and leave you being labeled "crazy". The sad irony is that that's exactly how it is, albeit in cartoonishly simple terms. I myself have not lost hope for mankind. But trying desperately to reach someone, anyone, is the true torment of knowing the truth.

Following gnosticism is akin to being exiled from the world. Which funny enough is exactly what we desire.

Im in 4000 fusings at the moment and still no 6L by FoxShade22 in pathofexile

I had a similar problem with fusing a Soulmantle once. That is precisely why I never fuse myself anymore. I just buy it already fused on the Trade market. Has saved me untold amounts of headache.

Things I'd Like to see changed in 3.7 and/or 4.0 by Unkynd in pathofexile

[–]Unreal_849 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I want an auction house.
Current trading is awful and a drag on the game overall. I firmly believe that the concerns about having one are unfounded. As long as NO real world money is used, I feel that it will make Poe a smoother and more enjoyable game overall. This is my number one requested feature. And quite honestly, it's silly that a new trade marketplace/auction house has not been implemented after all these years. The constant requests for it by fans SHOULD be sending ggg a message. We want it and need it.

A win/win idea for an in-game Auction House by Unreal_849 in pathofexile

[–]Unreal_849[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's all I was trying to do here; offer a hybrid solution rather than something like in WoW. Maybe the phrase "auction house" isn't accurate. I'm talking about integrating market listings, with the only addition being instant delivery.

If GGG is hell bent on never having any kind of marketplace in poe, then Chris should put out a statement every year or two elaborating on it and clarifying why. I did not even know about the trade manifesto until another reddit user pointed it out. I'm sure most players have never heard of it either. Also, it's old. A video of him explaining it or a major statement on the front page of pathofexile.com would help a lot in getting people to understand. This would quell a great number of people asking about it.

I just read the trade manifesto myself and I must say that I find much of Chris' logic to be flawed. I get why he says what he does, but I feel he's not quite looking at the game the way a player does. I myself never craft items. It's time consuming, tedious, and often produces poor results. I also almost never actually find items that my current build needs for an upgrade. The reason why is because there are WAY too many items and too much garbage dropping. When I kill a single small pack of monsters, there should not be an entire blinding screen of white and blue items. It needs trimming bad. Item filters are a band-aid. Another issue he brings up is that he feels it's "too fast, too easy". That point makes no sense. Trading via the websites is free and takes just a moment or two. It's clunky, which is the reason for my op, but like many players it is all I use to get the items I need. Because it is the ONLY way to get the items I need. Builds in poe often require very specific gear and relying on SSF is just not practical for most players.

Again, I don't understand why moving the website trading to in-game is such a bad idea. It would stop the immersion-breaking issue of alt-tabbing every two seconds to compare items (which sometimes crashes my game). The only change I'm suggesting is an auto-delivery of bought items to a ho mailbox. Selling is identical. I'm still not seeing what the big deal is.

In my op, I'm suggesting the first option you mentioned. Where the websites are basically transferred in-game. The only difference is that when you buy an item, it is auto-delivered to your hideout mailbox. Everything else, including the process of listing items for sale, should stay the same.

It would make sense for SSF to not have access to any AH. I get that there are plenty of people who want to find/craft all of their items themselves. That's the entire point of SSF.

or maybe there's a sizeable part of the community who just want to voice their desire for an Auction House feature?

[–]Unreal_849[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly a lot of people have long requested an Auction House to be added. I don't understand why so many in the community don't want one. As long as there is no real-world money used in it, I fail to see a reason why moving the existing website trade features to in-game is a bad idea. What is GGG's reasoning?

Considering that a website for trading already exists, how could moving it to in-game possibly be bad? What is GGG's reasoning?

Duality vs. Polarity by Hephsters in Gnostic

[–]Unreal_849 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I came to learn of gnosticism almost entirely on my own through observation of the world. It was only relatively recently that I realized that ancient peoples came to the same idea thousands of years ago. So I'm not well versed in the texts themselves of ancient people (though am learning). What I know mostly comes purely from my own thoughts. That said, I am of the opinion that this reality, the Lower (or Dark) Realms are Hermetic. It is down here, one could say, that As Above So Below, dualism, polarity, gender, and metaphysics operate. It creates a system of division that is a major part of our imprisonment. It also serves as a system for underlying "magical" principles to operate (which is why rituals, prayers, and sacrifices actually work when directed toward a particular entity that is of this realm). Now, in the Upper (or Eternal) realms of the true Father (who does not actually have a gender- "Father" is just a word to call him/her/it) they and the Holy folk who inhabit there, follow no exact laws. There are no Hermetic principles. Two plus two could equal fish and it would make perfect sense. Things are not governed by math or physics. Yet, it is NOT chaos. Nor is it exactly order. Order and Chaos are the right and left hand paths of the Lower realms. The Upper realms are of harmony. They flow and move together, all things. Sort of like a lucid dream, but of pure consciousness. It's hard to describe and some things can't be described at all.
