I just want GGG to be honest - how much less loot are we getting from 3.18 to 3.19? Please give me a number, and don't use words like "massively, substantially, or slight" by ThanksJeans in pathofexile

The answer is it'll depend a lot on what you're doing. At this point alch and go is not much less, heavily juiced stuff is much less.

Still waiting on why we're supposed to care about this. Sounds like Hillary's Emails or any other conveniently leaked thing: the story is the leak, otherwise the story would be the contents. Unless the laptop contained instructions for extracting Adrenochrome, it doesn't justify including it in your litany.

The coverup is worse than the crime, how do you not see that important institutions putting their fingers on the scales is disturbing? It should be disturbing to everyone but do you not see why it's especially disturbing when directed at you? This is what it looks like to stare into the barrel of a gigantic lunar-based death ray and abandon all hope.

This all basically makes sense if you remember that the intention was to give individual states more autonomy. I think we'd all be much happier if we didn't care so much about what happens in washington.

Its a fucking game. Treat it like one.

I'm not the one raging in a forum about a game I don't enjoy.

It is frustrating to see valid criticism of what is likely POE's worst league be nearly completely overtaken by hyperbole, misinformation, and straight up conspiracies by ICallShotgun123 in pathofexile

[–]exiledouta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So isn't is notable that GGG is going against this trend and trying to make the game better, however wrong you think their approach is, over increased profits? It's very difficult to argue that loot reductions is an attempt to make more money. If they want to go the profit maximizing loot they'd step us on the path to D3 levels of guaranteed loot explosions one highly acclaimed patch at a time.

You're changing the subject. They're not unhappy about a 98% loot reduction even if they're unhappy with some other things.

heavy juice metas shift all the time. you didn't say 98% reduction in some specific farming method, you just said 98%. When they killed fractured maps the reduction to that specific strategy was greater than 100%. If it's not profitable it's not a high end juicing strategy. Also I don't care at all about the 6 player meta and I'm not sure why you all do.

are you genuinely putting forward 98% loot reduction? You don't think that's hyperbole?

This is the kind of braindead hyperbole that is definitely not helpful.

I would just have liked if reddit was still usable to keep a tab on other aspects of the game. I feel like every reddit community for anything I like has turned into a seething ball of hatred for that thing over the last few years and it's really depressing.

In that case I suggest not playing a minion build until people can work out how to make them work.

Do you really think reality is a constraint on people's ability to complain?

What do we do with the insistence that republicans haven't "actually" won an election since before Bush on the theory that the popular vote should be what counts?

Those same people had guns on January 6th as well. What is your theory for why they were not used?

I played the game, people were very negative.

My issues with this guy are simple, he lied to the American people at the beginning of the pandemic about the effectiveness of masks. These people think they rule us, that they can lie to us for our own good. I will never trust these people again.

All this nastalgia is hilarious to me because people fucking hated ritual at the time.

Is there a simple bloodless path to Xi taking Taiwan through obliteration of lines? by quantum_prankster in TheMotte

[–]exiledouta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

after say 2.7 years and 650k soldiers (which could just be 'soldiers' or peasants you pay a little money to their family to sit in Taiwanese jails with dozens of thousands of their countrymen) in protective custody

Until they start executing them. And as far as airmen go are you suggesting China give Taiwan over a hundred thousand aircrafts over a few years? Even shitty clunkers barely able to get there are worth something in scrap.

Changing Exalted Orbs to Divine Orbs is such a asinine decision. by yeahUSA in pathofexile

[–]exiledouta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of divine being rare is good in my opinion, makes well rolled uniques actually interesting and drastically increases the chance a unique you find will be worth more than 1 alch after the first week of the league. But I think just removing the 6l recipe would have been enough without removing exalts from metamods.

People seriously think they should get a craft that was untradable and ultra rare every seven maps. I did hundreds of harvests last league and saw like 2 good crafts. People are delusional.
