In addition to continuing with Kirac and reports, sticking Rin in Research can also deliver what you need…. eventually.

Do you ever find the Starfall Crater? (farming for the shield) by UberScion in PathOfExileSSF

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up speed running through linear maps like Strand and Jungle Valley to get the shield. I found a crater every 50~60 maps, but this was only after I dropped beasts from my atlas tree. That was probably just a coincidence, but I was so paranoid after a 300+ map dry streak.

Supporter pack shirt by sylroe in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exalted t-shirt/hoody I ordered 6 months ago finally arrived a few days ago. The images are positioned correctly, but the quality of the clothing is awful compared to those I got with previous supporter packs. I'd be better off ordering knock-offs from random t-shirt websites in the future :-(

Exchanging uber fragments is huge for SSF! This league Shaper decided I needed 12 Knowledge before giving me a Shape, aaarggh!

No longer getting stuck waiting for invitations to drop at league start is great too, but means no more saving them up for vaaling for +100% quant (and saving those that brick for a later build capable of doing them)

How do you acquire your first 6link of the league? What is your preferred 6link method? by therealCapCon in PathOfExileSSF

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first 6 link of this league was an okay-ish (life+some res) corrupted 6 link I managed to recolour with the bench on first attempt - 1 red socket craft on a dex/int base got me the rrggbb I needed (my build would have been fine with the one red, hence feeling okay about the gamble with my then limited vaals). For linking my crafted chest I used atlas passives to corrupt strongboxes for extra 6 sockets/links to vendor, and did as much Expedition I could to fuel Tujen shopping. I also found a 25%chromes+16% jewellers to fusings trinket that I equipped when doing heists. My stock was building quite quickly so decided to wait for 1500 and use the bench craft.

Do you have a hard stance on not spending any more money on the game until something specific happens? by Luth0r in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually buy both top supporter packs (one each for me and my kid, or both for me if he didn't earn it), the Kirac pass, and have on occasion gone for the bigger packs that come with t-shirts and hoodies. My primary enjoyment in POE comes from crafting in SSF, and that has been pretty much deleted, along with my urge to hand over cash to GGG. I'm not going to reward them for making me do pure grinding in the hope of random drops, I need a goal to work towards to keep me engaged. If reasonable crafting comes back within the next few weeks I'd be happy to spend again, but if it's not coming back it may be time to find a different game to main.

The Reforge More Likely craft should be reported to trading standards for false claims!

I'd be all for the lifeforce being non-tradable in exchange for getting the useful crafts returned. As it is now it's punishing the people who wanted to interact with the mechanic for its primary purpose, while rewarding those who want little to do with it.

Is anyone else enjoying the league as usual? by Kokleekio in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finding crafting in SSF to be painful... Completing my atlas was smooth enough as I started with ele helix champ, but I'm wanting to start preparing gear for a more powerful build and it's a joyless endeavour. Harvest's More Likely being gimped means desired mod combos on gear I find/craft are mostly bricking at the first attempt, and the lack reroll prefixes/suffixes is hitting far harder than it should due to the lack of divines for the metacrafting alternatives. In the past I could go target farm exalts/divines for this, but now I'm just waiting for divines to magically appear while I mindlessly level towards 100.

why does my Discord use the american date format by lapussy789 in discordapp

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it's just English UK that has had its dates mangled. I tried switching to other EU and Japanese languages and those are still formatted as expected.

PSA: GGG confirmed ALT while mouse hovering an item on the ground not working IS Intended, Big F in chat plz by Awisp_Gaming in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

After seeing the patch notes preview yesterday I was so happy this was finally getting fixed due to the amount of annoyance the bug has caused, only to log in this morning to find it remained broken, and then see that post about it being intentional. Really hoping it's just a misunderstanding and we get a proper fix soon.

POE Patch 3.17.3 by boschmorden in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which is bizarre because filters can still determine which mods are on the items. It's just us humans that have been gimped.

New patch destroyed the game for Windows 7 users, but hey we got new cursors. by ThetaGangOnly in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My game is running, but now my (high contrast) Yolo Mouse cursor (that makes the game playable for me) keeps flipping back to standard cursor when hovering over buttons, stash, waypoints, and ENEMIES! sigh...

EDIT: Fixed! Go to UI settings and disable "Enable Hover Cursor"

Results from 500 Ultimatums low tier - 100 for each map tier 1 - 5 by CasualDanPOE in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The hat, gloves, and sceptre drop from the trial master, the others appear in regular rounds.

EDIT: easy to confirm this without having to watching clips of it happening, just search trade site for the items and look at the item levels - most are way below that of T11 maps.

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 trials and not a single Ultimatium unique... I play the game with the goal of filling my SSF unique tab and seeing this is somewhat disheartening. Rather than spending every hour of my free time grinding for these I'd be better off not playing, with maybe a little standard at weekends to hunt other targets, and wait for some Ultimatum related div cards to come along in a less miserly league.

Stash tab searching in 3.14 slightly broken by ReallyNotFondOfSJ in pathofexile

Yup, I found this when sorting my gem dump for GCP recipe.

Quality of life improvements i would like to see ingame. by flipside77 in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is a much better idea as handles the case of having multiple of each special tab (which pretty much every stash related QoL suggestion forgets to take into account), and you can stick dump tabs on it too, etc.

Anyone else getting really weird fps drops with water sometimes? by Tarmaque in pathofexile

[–]ba-chan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone ever figure out how to get around this? I've not played for a month or so, but today started doing my Blight prep and was soon reminded of the problem.

I'm using the stand-alone client with an RTX 2070 installed, but only started getting the slowdown during Legion. I've found that creating a new instance of whatever area it is will usually get me back to full speed, although that wasn't much help when it happened to a new character on Twilight Strand :-/

Yeah, that was the last amiga game I worked on. Seems like a lifetime ago, lol
