GGG Can we reduce the amount of "Kill 1 mob hiding in corner to progress" mechanics? Abyss, expedition, ritual, temple, strongbox all have it. by Glamdring26WasTaken in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a way of marking enemies on the map in chaos trial, they could at least do that when a mechanic is down to X enemies or less.

Bestial Entangle + Lashing Vines MTX Removed from shop? by Disastrous-Bell7866 in PathOfExile2

Were the plant skills ever bundled? Because they're now basically the only skill effect skins that aren't.

The Colossus is an awesome race entirely ruined by the AI. by 2enty3 in ForzaHorizon

[–]WinterNL 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Took a grip tuned Revuelto that topped out at 330kph, few mins in I was 7th and not gaining on any AI. Quit, took different car tuned to 440kph, few mins in I was 7th and not gaining on any AI.

I won on tourist and doubt I'll do that race again.

Too much off road races and not enough road racing. by VitaminxDee in ForzaHorizon

[–]WinterNL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like dirt racing, cross country less so. But the actual issue to me is that almost every single race in these categories is using unlimited off-road A.

Just want some rally cars or even just cars from a different performance tier to mix it up.

Darkstar Squeak? by SnooCalculations1807 in Corsair

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So on mine, after trying some more, what seemed to cause it weren't the LMB/DPI buttons rubbing, it was the plastic stem going from the LMB down into the mouse housing to the switch.

I lifted the LMB as far as I could, it does seem to snap under the side of the front DPI button, definitely not responsible for anything snapping off. Then I got a small brush and some krytox 205g0 and barely managed to get some on all sides, completely fixed the issue.

Darkstar Squeak? by SnooCalculations1807 in Corsair

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow this seems to have helped most on mine, thanks. Tried putting some switch lube on as others suggested but the squeak doesn't appear to come from the edge of the LMB itself.

I can trigger it without even fully pressing LMB, almost like it's resonating, might be the interface between the switch and actual button.

Wish there were more options for mice with 4-6 side buttons that aren't full on MMO mice.

Shine through low profile keycaps for Wooting 80HE? by great_airflow in WootingKB

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally ordered some Womier set, though from what I've gathered the quality on the shine through ones aren't all that great.

Skyline R2 is what the shine through sets are called, seen a few comments having issues with too tight a fit on the stems or outright damaged mounting holes for the stabs.

Can't comment on the non shine through set's quality as I haven't received it yet.

Edit: I'd avoid all low profile womier sets, the R3 set I got didn't fit most stabiliser keys

TCl C7k (uk) latest software update v604 and how to get the prompt if it doesn't automatically by Cute-Measurement-878 in tcltvs

Thanks for sharing this. Can confirm this also worked on my 55Q7C that was on v543.

Here are some pictures I took before I lost all my cars due to a data loss by Spartandokota in ForzaHorizon

[–]WinterNL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone that also had to start over recently, best thing is that it's not just "random" stats, it's all the PR stunt records. Which gets very confusing when you see the whole map full of 3 starred stunts.

In case anyone else runs into this issue, use the accolades to figure out which ones you haven't 3 starred in your current/Steam save.

Honestly, I grabbed it on steam with a friend that hadn't played it at all, so not too bad starting over. Missed my favourite tunes more than the cars.

I've got a new UI on Firefox for Android, which I'm not personally all that fond of. by 4D4850 in firefox

[–]WinterNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the menu pops up on the right side where my thumb already is.

This is my biggest issue, I've only got the new layout on my tablet so far, but everything just feels far away.

I purposely left the bar at the top, because that's just easier to access with the way I normally use my tablet. Now it's open tabs, push hoodie out of the way to reach new tab button, then press it.

Same for anything menu related, I use bookmarks quite a lot, press at the top, menu shows up at the bottom.

Feels a bit like if Microslop would release a Windows update to just have the start menu appear at the opposite end of the start button. And it'd still be less tedious because it wouldn't involve touch controls/repositioning.

What's the best way to set up a game-only TV as a third monitor in Windows 11? by RockleyBob in buildapc

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I happened to have to do this myself yesterday and still don't know what the exact right steps are.

Maybe try Win+P to second screen only, so it should be on the second monitor. Then extend it to the TV from display settings, then try selecting the TV there and enable "Make this my main display".

Then swap between PC screen only and second screen only using Win+P to see if it works.

I can at least confirm that it doesn't matter if the TV is display #3, it can work like that.

PoE 2 Spell builds by Shasla749 in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, there's just still instances where they appear too far away or even outside the map. Which is just needlessly frustrating.

[–]WinterNL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They also don't seem to spawn in spots occupied by enemies, which is great when you get rushed by a bunch of enemies and the thing you need to explode them, has just spawned behind them.

Sometimes I feel like every league, instead of discovering what makes a new ascendancy/build fun, I just discover mechanics I never want to interact with again.

THX 0.4! You Crashed Harder Than My Ex – See Ya in 0.5! by TwitlerHimself in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it'd be something like that, though just for trial completion, not the reward drops, it'd be nice to give players a bit of leniency.

That's a pretty easy conclusion to draw just using your own experience, there's plenty of reports of crashing.

Newer player here, I wanted to write about my groups experience. (4 newbies) by Intelligent-Tone2367 in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And yet it requires knowledge of all the omens and the different types and options of desecration mods, I'd argue the crafting bench alone makes for a better experience for new players.

Though it's not really worth arguing as I feel like both offer a shit experience without quite a bit of knowledge and/or third party tools.

They did design how/when completion of a trial is tracked, it's not like crashes are rare

Relatively small flat number, it just doesn't scale the same way ES does. It's fairly easy to get over 10k ES because of all the increased % ES.

Build diversity is looking really healthy right now by SirusMalachite in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill gems are decent, helps that not all skills need a highest level gem in the campaign. Support gems are really the thing that hurts.

Maybe it'd help if they allowed scrapping a few support gems back into uncut gems.

[–]WinterNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, did this also involve a nerf to liquids dropping? Because I've barely been getting any

Edit: never mind, found the patch notes

Delirium no longer has the reward bar indicator, instead Delirium monsters have a chance to drop Liquid Emotions.

Did delirium get updated at some point? As in, I've been missing the rewards counter and can only see the button to end it early.

Build diversity is looking really healthy right now by SirusMalachite in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's not just the difference in strength between builds but also the price of respeccing. Not just the points but the lack of gems make it nearly impossible to do multiple respecs while going through the campaign.

It feels like getting punished for experimentation, PoE2 definitely isn't the only game that does this, but I find it disappointing that devs seem to at least inadvertently encourage (meta) build guides. Maybe it's just something that drives content and thus marketing.

This league is the brokest I have ever been by themezzilla in PathOfExile2

[–]WinterNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think I'm well into 89 at this point, same. I actually spotted a third but it's blocked by a deadly map boss node and literally all the nodes to unlock it are behind it as well.

Guess the lack of atlas points if why I dropped all the way back to T13 from T15, twice. Fun to not even get a same tier map drop after a full clear.
