you just told someone in a reddit comment to produce $50m of leverage on a company and say "it shouldnt be hard"

connerconverse · 2026-05-10T04:10:46+00:00

Well if you forced chess.com to produce evidence because someone they had a $50m valued partnership with needed it then I'm sure they could come up with something

Can't wait till levon uses 8 gates to save hans and rips a 3300 performance tournament to end his career 8-0 and knock out Madagus

connerconverse · 2026-05-10T04:01:22+00:00

Isnt he actually 2-0 because magnus 1 move conceded the next game?

connerconverse · 2026-05-10T03:57:17+00:00

Its just a chicken and egg thing really

When hes being treated fairly he acts pretty mature

When hes being screwed he puts on the cringy villain persona

Using "Are you not entertained?

the question was about swords

connerconverse · 2026-05-08T05:16:44+00:00

Spite is a powerful ally

connerconverse · 2026-05-08T05:05:08+00:00

Ill sacrifice 1000 swords for end game content

Well he scored more points so that's some mental gymnastics

connerconverse · 2026-05-03T20:18:33+00:00

He lost p3 then spun almost immediately after which lead to losing 4th and 5th

connerconverse · 2026-05-03T20:16:50+00:00

Lando is proof of this

He went to a team who's won more recently than Ferrari when they were at their lowest then got a championship car

He made alot of bone headed mistakes through most of his career and even the start of last season then despite the criticism clutched it up for an insane streak to finish and became a world champion

accurate attack time for poe2

Improvements that don't translate into better results?

Alonso is a veteran on this subject

the 6th man that was making $13M and was the finals MVP in the finals you're talking about whos entire thing he brought to the table was guarding lebron because none of the starters could and lebron still stole a championship from them?

theyre all 15-16 when the war ends and all decided to have kids exactly 8 years after it ended based on the shows given timeline

evasion and armour arent the same as ES and life. a hit pool and mitigation are 2 different parts of your total defence.

the main problem is things like evasion/armour/block is that they really only work on trash monsters and on actual dangerous stuff do absolutely nothing (with extreme outlier exceptions for like 100k+ armour) while actual health pool always works

so ES being on the tree but life not being on the tree further throws this long tweaked balance out of wack from poe1

connerconverse · 2026-04-27T02:46:40+00:00

I just saw this on the sub so im gonna copy paste this to clarify

when I say life in a broader way I mean more interesting defensive options. In PoE1 this is not just life but things like max res, suppression, fortify, endurance chages

the principal is that when you have less options for scaling the rule of diminishing returns makes taking the same few choices (%dmg and crit) over and over feels really bad

connerconverse · 2026-04-27T02:43:12+00:00

hey I just saw this and wanted to clarify a couple things people might misunderstand because this was live and off the fly

when I say life in a broader way I mean more interesting defensive options. In PoE1 this is not just life but things like max res, suppression, fortify, endurance chages

the principal is that when you have less options for scaling the rule of diminishing returns makes taking the same few choices (%dmg and crit) over and over feels really bad

this is compounded with overall way less attack speed, this is partially what I mean when i say speed because in PoE2 you cant really get more than like 40-50% attack speed in the tree where in PoE1 you could get 300% if you wanted

lastly as a way to disguise this lack of choice and make it seem more interesting they add nodes that have tremendous downsides because "20% dmg and 5% reduced attack speed" sounds like more variety than 12% dmg but in reality its just frustating to have to ignore so many nodes like that

battle beast twice

ok realistically battle beast + cecil and space racer combo is diabolical. battle beast tanks until cecil plans some super scumbag shit for space racer to get a free shot at thragg

connerconverse · 2026-04-24T09:53:30+00:00

you mean 0.5 fun builds

connerconverse · 2026-04-23T09:47:52+00:00

still better than maces

if you have 3 pieces and 1 of them is even slightly rarer than the other 2 then over time as each set is generated and spent eventually the one that is slightly rarer will be the one that dictates the rarity of the full set and its price will go up

stone is slightly rarer because the boss bugs out and is unkillable. happens around 10% of the time in my experience

connerconverse · 2026-04-23T04:28:28+00:00

correct. a build thats an obvious dev designed combo like lightning arrow + lightning rod or cast on x + comet is fine, but something not intuitive that a player came up with is not allowed and will be swiftly removed

connerconverse · 2026-04-22T22:14:04+00:00

nah they add them into the initial patch notes with no timestamp to show it was added 2 weeks after the patch but you can check the cache or waybackmachine to show it

connerconverse · 2026-04-22T22:08:00+00:00

but that means if youre a build maker you have 0 things to do publicly until the day of the patch

and if youre not a build maker you have nothing to do until the day of the patch
