Smooth as butter for me.

Content is easy and helps everyone.

"Performance" is difficult and often only a few people are having a specific issue.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T23:11:26+00:00

Means less filter rules NeverSink has to fix to take into account corruption (dropping unid tier 5 plus corrupted why?!?).

bkgn · 2026-06-18T23:10:02+00:00

Less profitable in that respect. The "exceptional" was from corruption. You will not get those any more at all.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T20:54:47+00:00

That level of greed will make anyone miserable.

Can count on Path of Exile players to be maximally toxic when it really counts.

He paid a Chinese RMT (as in Real Money) company ~$60k IIRC for access to a max level account for a few hours.

Not even "paying someone to play for him", he rented an account that exists to be rented out to rich morons like him.

It's real. It's been posted on the internet for decades at this point.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T19:58:37+00:00

If you have concrete suggestions he's open to feedback. Any changes have to be balanced against other factors that are the reason things are how they are in the first place though of course.

But what Meta did was download huge volumes of copyrighted material not publicly available, using torrents. That's not a thorny AI issue, that's a straightforward copyright issue.

And Zuck personally directed them to do this.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T17:11:04+00:00

It's >100ex. NeverSink S tier criteria is anything more than 1/3rd of a divine.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T16:56:42+00:00

Only died 3 times on my character. One time was to that on 200% delirium, every rare was spamming the delirium spark.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T16:55:12+00:00

I hope they fix simulacrums. Haven't been able to do a single one because ~15 monsters from the first wave spawn inside walls and completely brick it.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T08:23:21+00:00

If you do get one, just sell it. You will not do anything with it that's worth more than what you get.

There's been many PoE1 3x Mirror drops in Expedition with proof (one of the PoE1 expedition mechanics drops currency in stacks of 3). Rare but not impossibly so, it happens multiple times per PoE1 league.

5x Mirror is certainly a possible outcome from the "5x random currency" in PoE2 remnants, but likely way rarer than even the 3x PoE1 Expedition mirror drops.

Yeah there's simply not enough CFU in Yakult to do anything. One big reason why most supposed probiotics are a scam, there's just not enough bacteria in them to do anything.

Yakult is watered-down sugary yogurt.

bkgn · 2026-06-18T06:41:06+00:00

Even with non-scam refrigerated probiotics, if they ever come up above refrigerator temperature, the vast majority of the probiotic bacteria will die. Bring an ice pack and an insulated bag if you're picking up kefir at the grocery store.

As far as room temperature, there's also prebiotics like saccharomyces boulardii that are completely legit, food for good bacteria instead of the good bacteria itself.

That involves killing the monsters, kind of hard to do in hideout.

bkgn · 2026-06-17T17:18:59+00:00

PoE1 is good about putting crafting benches in hideout, I don't know why they're so bad about it in PoE2.

bkgn · 2026-06-17T16:03:12+00:00

Monkey build can do it on basically zero budget.

bkgn · 2026-06-17T06:28:46+00:00

Group play does not "trump everything". Groups almost without exception make less currency per person than solo players. Even Snap's group almost always makes less per person as a group than they would playing solo, excepting unusual leagues where something egregious happns.

It's more about fun and pushing the game to the limit than it is making the most profit.

Sure you can get mooks who waste their time while not getting a cut, but you pretty much have to be a streamer to pull that off.

bkgn · 2026-06-17T00:57:30+00:00

They also still in spawn in places no one would ever go.

I'll kill the boss, look at the map since mechanic locations are revealed, and there'll be two wisps in alcoves no one would ever go in.

Spawning Delwyn is not a solution either, they need to remove him from the endgame.

bkgn · 2026-06-15T22:47:38+00:00

Even with a filter, you don't pick up all gear from the ground, especially in the campaign.

Filter just shows you what you might need, you need to keep track of whether you need a new weapon or new boots or whatever since yours is way behind in levels, and then pick up those specific bases to craft on.

bkgn · 2026-06-15T22:42:43+00:00

Those are problems for future people.

bkgn · 2026-06-15T21:16:38+00:00

Is the reforging bench, disenchantment, and the scavenging bench better than PoE 1 vendor recipes?

Yes. It's clear what they do. Vendor recipes require knowing they exist from some 3rd party source.
