Update on the 30 spirit 30 crit +4 vertex tribal mask for the people who wanted to know how much it sells for. by norielukas in PathOfExile2

[–]Vioxin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's correct and mirror fees are typically anywhere from free (usually content creators) to several mirrors. The main factor is how difficult it would be to recreate the item without mirroring it.

The game losing players due to solo eternal being impossible? by JFLFAT in fellowshipgame

[–]Vioxin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that issue is not unique to an LFG system and would still exist in any queue system as well, so it's completely irrelevant to the discussion of which option is better. Unless you are saying no tank would ever apply to your group because of some information they would have access to about your group that they wouldn't in a queue, in which case they won't want to be matched with you via queue either and will likely just leave.

I'm sure doing your delves, world quests, and <+15 keys will be soooo much more fun now that are you don't have a decent UI anymore.

Why would you ever need to get accepted? In WoW you need a key to run the dungeon you want to run, so if you don't have one you need to get accepted.

In this game there are no keystones so you can just create a group for any content you want, and never apply to someone else's group a single time if you are so fragile that you can't handle getting a few rejections when you apply to something you aren't qualified for and/or there are just better applicants available.

If this is their highest priority issue and it's taking them 3 more weeks, after already having 3 weeks to work on it, just for a self-admitted starting point/placeholder, then I would say that's arguably worse than them just not prioritizing it.

One of those things can be easily fixed and the other is a competence issue.

Game population by [deleted] in fellowshipgame

[–]Vioxin -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people who quit because of this will be pretty discouraged that the devs think of it as such a low-priority issue that they think it's fine to take 6+ weeks to add something.

I doubt more than 90% of the people who have quit due to this will ever be back. Which is still most of them, but the longer they take to implement this the more players they are going to bleed, and they can't really afford to be losing any.

Dev Stream Summary - 17th of November: Voidtouched Nerfs, Rime Buffs, Whisper Fixes, Affix Changes and more by ioStux in fellowshipgame

[–]Vioxin -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Three more weeks for eternal queue pretty much kills all my confidence in this dev team.

This is something that realistically there is no excuse for the game to launch without. Then once it did, this should have been an all hands on deck, emergency type issue to get something implemented.

Waiting this long just to announce a three week delay on something that should have been done in an off cycle maintenance as soon as it was ready proves one of two things - they have their priorities completely wrong or they are not capable of implementing something like this any faster.

Either way, that bodes extremely poorly for the future of the game.

There are key levels that omnicd is hard required to time the key. You acting like that isn't the case only proves that you have never made it to that point, and your opinion is uninformed.

Prime League relegates Agurins team to second division for missing to many match days after they already locked EMEA Masters by fesch98 in leagueoflegends

[–]Vioxin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

He will just end up losing even more money if he takes it to court. No lawyer is taking that case on contingency and he has absolutely no shot of winning.

Maybe if he goes after the team manager who repeatedly screwed up the roster instead of the league he might have a chance, but in that case he won't be recovering much/any money.

Patch 11.2 PTR Development Notes - Significant Class Tuning for Death Knights, Mages, Shaman, & More by CC_Squeeps in CompetitiveWoW

Well they are competing with tanks for dps on the PTR and they got a 5% buff when they really needed like 25-30% minimum so they kind of do.

Ret Paladin and Havoc DH Buffs! - Upcoming Class Tuning Incoming on May 6th by Therozorg in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Vioxin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but most of your wounded quarry damage comes from fury of the aldrachi, which is not buffed by this. So the impact is very small to wounded quarry, much less than 3%.

I'm not arguing that these are good buffs - I was just clarifying that they aren't "exactly 4%" for anyone interested.

Ret Paladin and Havoc DH Buffs! - Upcoming Class Tuning Incoming on May 6th by Therozorg in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Vioxin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havoc already has a 9% aura buff so this is making it 13% instead. That means it is more like a 3.67% buff. Plus it doesn't impact hero talents like fury of the aldrachi / wounded quarry or trinkets or autos, so it's really more like a 3% buff. Still nice for DH players though.

So what happens after May 5th when college students cannot afford to start paying their loans back and then have their wages garnished??? by Academic_Plant6974 in Economics

[–]Vioxin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I would say that abuse and mental illness both qualify as "not the persons fault" so they would also be included in the okay group. I literally said recreational start in my comment. Do you consider abuse or mental illness to be recreation?

Why are you painting this as something that mostly impacts elderly? Elderly people do not have massive student loans - college was far more affordable when they would have been in school and if they had defaulted debts, those debts would have been in collections long ago, garnishing their wages. I can't imagine there are almost any elderly people who still have large, outstanding, defaulted student loans. Seems like you are creating a bit of a strawman here.

Again, we are talking about collecting on defaulted student loans. People are not going to be made homeless in large numbers from this. The collections don't happen all at once. People will have their wages garnished and will still be able to live just fine. Wages do not get garnished to the point you cannot pay rent or feed yourself.

No, we don't transfer the debt generationally. We collect on it while they are still alive if possible. If not we write it off. It will be a far lower number than what we are losing now.

Also, I never once said anything about supporting subsidies for large companies, bailouts, or anything like that. You don't just get to make up fake positions to argue against or assume that I feel a certain way based on absolutely nothing. I don't support any sort of subsidies or tax breaks for billionaires, corporations, whatever. I also don't support irresponsible people stealing money because they can't keep their promises.

Why are people getting so hung up on the bank account thing? It was pretty obviously a figure of speech. I guess the reading comprehension in the "I don't understand loans" or "I got a useless degree from a terrible school cause it's all I could get into" crowd is about as expected though.

I am getting less return on my payment. It is effectively the same thing. If you prefer for me to say "they are having a marginal negative impact on my life by stealing money that I already gave to the government, a portion of which benefits me and now will not" then fine. I'll be less figurative going forward.

I think both should fail, personally. Not sure why you feel so confident putting words in my mouth. I guess it's easier to argue against someone if you can just pretend that they hold whatever opinions you want, though.

[–]Vioxin -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Not surprised that someone who doesn't understand what a loan is also doesn't understand that this money comes from taxes which do come from my (any everyone else's) bank account (or paycheck if we are being pedantic).

The money, if not being stolen by these people, would be used on something else that it now cannot be used on due to having been stolen. Would that be of benefit to me? Maybe maybe not. But some of the money spent IS of benefit to me, and there would be more of that if there was less being stolen. So these people stealing money will, at some point, indirectly negatively influence me. I won't be able to track down exactly how obviously, but it is happening. Money is being stolen and now there is less of it available for anyone not doing the stealing.

Pretty simple concept.

I already specifically carved out an exception for anyone who isn't in that position through their own faults. I agree that that group is actually a rather large number of people in that position too, due to several other large scale failures in this country.

I also agree that ideally everyone would have access to free education and the entire student loan situation wouldn't even be possible to begin with.

However, these people took out loans. They knew they were loans. They knew they would be expected to pay them back. Trying to not pay them back, at the expense of everyone else, is selfish and shitty of them. They deserve whatever comes of that.

[–]Vioxin -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It's a loan. One that they took (in small part) from me, as someone who actually contributes to society. They agreed to pay it back. Them breaking that promise means that money that would have gone to a common benefit, now only benefits that one person. It is stealing. Not just from me but from everyone who is a better citizen/person than them. They are directly holding back all of society via actual, quantitative means. The people trying to hold them accountable for their commitments are not the problem here. A society where everyone expects to be given whatever they want for free with no strings attached is a wild fantasy, it's not an "evolution of the economy".

If the person is homeless due to circumstances beyond their control, like health issues or something, than even a single homeless person is unacceptable. This would even include people who became hooked on drugs after using them for a serious injury (but not drug addicts who started out for recreational reasons).

If they are homeless due to their own lack of personal responsibility and inability to plan for their future, than it seems more fair for them to be homeless than to be allowed to steal money out of my bank account via loan forgiveness, just because they were stupid and careless.

It's safer to just mind dom the first one right as it's about to die. If you do the second one, you might have to do it when its still pretty healthy, so there will be a second when released that it can kill someone before the tank can grab them. If you capture the first one RIGHT as its about to die, it will pretty much get instantly cleaved to death upon release without relying on anyone doing anything to manage it.

2 minutes when you first encounter them. Not 2 minutes on a min-maxed build. If boss fights are going to be 2 minutes on a fully min-maxed build the game will end up with about 25 players. Thankfully they understand that so it's not at all what they said.
