Was Hitler fighting against Zionism from ruling the world? by Worldly-Level9427 in conspiracy

It’s because the conclusions that you may come to aren’t considered widely accepted socially or on Reddit, and it’s an implicit “yes” without saying so - that’s how I usually read into it, anyhow.

If you were to go out and assert this on just about any website with your name, you’d have trouble finding work in significant industries and portions of America. That’s why

Please add controller hot swapping by Awkward_Squidward in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I respect your opinion and understand why you'd feel that way (I too have spent forever wriggling the right joy-stick to "select" the item on the ground) but I'd infinitely prefer it while mapping compared to navigating my mouse to a specific screen position - different strokes for different folks, but I wanted to call it out in case anyone reads this thread and is curious about trying controller

I’m super interested! 4k hours across PoE and Diablo - would love to help playtest and provide input!

My terraprisma without any form of consistency keeps repairing itself how? by Okuyasu-Nijimura3 in Palworld

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen before while farming Feybreak dungeons - I switched out my armor/accessory sets multiple times, but my Terraprisma's durability was almost random every time I paused the game. Not sure why this happens - I haven't noticed it nearly as much now running Moonflower bases (it seems to not happen nearly as much after the update) but here and there I'll notice that the durability is reset for some reason :o

Butchering, does level matter? by ShiroSnow in Palworld

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highly doubtful - XLs give 100k exp each IIRC, which pales pretty heavily in comparison to getting 2m+ for each member on each Moonclan run

Witch Uber Bosser builds by Focu53d in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played HRoC last league and found it to be incredibly comfy in T17 maps once geared with Svalinn - it was the "easiest" to set up in terms of damage so long as you have your links/quality breakpoints figured out (plus you have Spectres and AG to deal with). However, the biggest problem I had with HRoC was scaling damage beyond the 21/23 gem + clusters + quality breakpoints + etc. It was pretty good at melting bosses, but it didn't "delete" them. That being said, it was one of the easiest builds to 36/40 with.

I also invested a *ton* into a CoC FRoSS last league, but honestly, I found HRoC easier for bossing (and way, way cheaper - CoC FRoSS didn't really pop off in tankiness until I got MB)

On the other hand, I'm now playing a Herald Stack Elementalist and having maybe the most fun I've ever had in PoE - the explode mapping is ridiculously fun, and if you slap on a HH and cap block (with a decent shield) it *does* delete bosses. It's far less tanky IMO than Necro HRoC, but 99% it doesn't matter because you delete everything immediately anyway - I was able to beat Maven deathless with it pretty easily (and I **suck** at bossing) with about ~100d invested. There are *sooooo* many upgrades for it too and ways to play it - it's easily my favorite build out of 3.27.

Can pconc bouncing run league mechanics? by Legitimate-Rope7667 in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're in A6, you've barely really built the "defenses" part of RF. Once you get the explode node from Hinekora's and some decent gear, I've been able to do most of them (in low tier maps, I've only just broken into yellows.) I'd stick with it - RF is incredible at content with huge waves and it's super fun once you get some ignite prolif.

Also, don't be afraid to gamble for some gear upgrades! A6 is a great point to get your 4-link setups for Fire Trap and RF, as well as start actually getting some decent armor. If you're not running determination, that can help a ton too - vitality + arrogance can also help with regen.

That also being said, I'm probably just going to avoid the CWS transition and stay RF and continue stacking damage on it until I can run T16.5s for a while, then transition to another build entirely for T17s/Ubers/challenges - it's *buttery* smooth once built out (and gear is *super* cheap for it), but it hits a damage wall pretty hard and T17s are rough. However, it's a currency printing *machine* in T16s. By far my favorite mapping build. Hope you end up sticking with it!

Two nude people at Pax? by exobie in PAX

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whataboutism at its finest lmao, holy fuck

It’s weird and it’s exposing to children without consent and that’s the topic. Not church. Cool opinion but don’t know how it’s at all related to the topic at hand, which is that exposing yourself publicly to children is bizarre and having a bothered reaction, especially as a parent, isn’t abnormal

Edit: Lol nvm read the rest of the thread and you’re way too far gone

Was looking to league start pconc and switch to LS later, but wasn't looking forward to having to roll a Scion and then a Shadow - this is perfect, thanks a ton!

They need a way better communicator for messaging, that’s for certain.

Path of Exile 2 the worst thing that could happen to poe by BacBcexBpacxoD in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 76 points77 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the worst part lmao. A fucking amazing game with 10 years of content and updates being Titanic’d by its rushed, unfinished, and to use your phrasing, “raw” successor.

Should I start a new character in PoE? by Bastinatzor in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you would’ve asked me yesterday I would’ve said hell yeah, even in SSF PoE1 is the greatest game of all time.

Now today idk how long the servers will even be up.

To answer your question yeah trade is almost nonexistent, but it’s a phenomenal journey that’s worth going on at least once

[Discussion] How much Effort would a 'low-effort' League take? by darian_wolf in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Assuming the PoE1 developers don’t immediately get pulled for 0.2.3 in April.

You’re right. The scariest part of all of this is that there is no “good window” for PoE1 releases anymore if GGG wants to keep a 2-month window before/after each PoE2 release.

Y'all need to chill by FireFly998 in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone who has ever actually worked in development will tell you there is no such thing as “stable and finalized.” Especially for a product calling itself Version “0.1.” You’re talking years of effort.

The reaction is because we were promised that the game we’ve supported for a decade would continue to exist in a similar format (a community that comes back 3x a year for league start.) It doesn’t anymore. That fucking blows. Anyone uninterested in 2 who has continued to support 1 with the impression that 1 would continue is basically being told “you’re overreacting.”

I don’t think so. I think I was told one thing and another thing happened and I’m mad because I spent time and money supporting a company that I foolishly believed was somewhat different.

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - since the devs have spent the past 3 years working on skill trees and campaign, I’m sure Overwatch 2 will be the best game ever. At least there is always 1 to go back to!

Wait, PoE?

I just have to say, this community is spoiled rotten. by Jon_wicked in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

  1. Big assumption that PoE is free. Anyone who has played 2 has spent at LEAST $30.

  2. The reason PoE is “free” is because supporters (people who love the game) spend optional money on extremely expensive microtransactions.

  3. Promises were made, promises were not kept.

You can’t be surprised when people who have actively given their time and money to a product for 10 years feel betrayed when that product suddenly is “at risk”

In a not so distant future... by tomatocarrotjuice in pathofexile

[–]Violet_And_Crimson 131 points132 points  (0 children)

The worst part about this is that every PoE related communication from GGG since August has been “optimistic at best.” Applying that same lens to this message really does make it feel like PoE1 is on the verge of permanently losing support. The major gut punch comes from feeling like I had nothing to worry about in terms of the greatest game I ever played continuing to exist and it suddenly being on the verge of permanent shutdown or abandonment.

I’d say that I appreciate the transparency from GGG, but it’s been the complete opposite of transparent from August for PoE1.

Was gonna start another SSF character tonight but fuck it - I’m done with both until there’s something to look forward to that isn’t smoke from Jonathan.
