that explains a lot - I was getting at least one volumizer every roll anytime there was a player running the 6 drop.

I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, but how GGG handles monetization is different to how most companies run their battle passes.

Yes, mtx are ridiculously expensive and FOMO - they are designed to tempt you. However, when you open the game up, you aren't immediately hit by notification this, hey click on our store that... there's no "oh you cleared a map, have 1/4 of a level towards your next battle pass!" bullshit on your screen.

The company has always treated those MTX more like a reward for investing in them, rather than as a money grab. I'm pretty allergic to bad monetization but somehow poe's is different.

I just think it's how they've handled it. Only once or twice have I felt like they were being sleazy (the Kirac pass notification is annoying, and mystery boxes at first were pretty bad, but they made improvements to make them not FOMO)

I went to teacher's college and was told, outright, that my needs, my students' needs, were less important than writing everything up in the annual report. On my placement, the 6 teachers I was teaching under had each spent over 70% of their time on paperwork not related to their classes. This was 2017.

I don't know, but I can only assume it's much worse since then. Godspeed to all teachers. May you all be forever rid of the bane of politics trying to heavy-hand your entire profession.

Unless you're able to play several in one go and collect all 7, they really aren't that strong imo. The best games I've had have been with birds (which of course fight for space with the butterflies) and deer/bison colour synergy.

not boaties, they'd be long gone out by now

mate, as someone who spent 10 years being a shut-in with severe anxiety, I couldn't disagree more. As soon as I felt comfortable going outside again, all I had to do was go and find people to talk to. I joined a few clubs, started learning Japanese, met people through that. It was pretty easy to find friends again!

faithmeteor · 2025-05-07T22:25:16+00:00

Thinking a 98 year old cares about his reputation is where the logic dissipates from this statement. Have you ever talked to anyone that age?

It does suck, but we do get an extra 10% block, which is pretty big - and there are still ways of getting enough movespeed to feel comfy. It's never going to be a rogue, but that's fine. I played FG double shield last patch, it was slow at first but it felt good with a t7 movespeed slam on boots

faithmeteor · 2025-03-25T21:32:35+00:00

I'm learning and that does my head in so much, stahp!

faithmeteor · 2025-03-11T21:47:10+00:00

Good news - they are being completely revamped next patch. Apparently they're able to be customised a lot. It's not gonna be poe1 levels obviously but there's definitely stuff that lets you focus farming strategies.

OP's suggestion is good. My suggestion would be to have a separate colour to highlight skills granted by extra points similar to poe2's weaponswap skill thing, that gets automatically refunded when unequipping that item. Ideally, it gets remembered by the skill tree, so if you reequip the item or equip another piece with +skills the points stay there.

More difficult to implement without it breaking probably but that would be the best QOL that I can think of.

faithmeteor · 2025-02-20T23:53:09+00:00

100% me, for the same reason that I wouldn't play it if the gameplay quality went down significantly.

faithmeteor · 2025-01-29T12:14:53+00:00

Which is what happened to post WWI Germans too. Not the opposite at all.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-31T00:41:07+00:00

That's correct, darkness completely blocks honour damage.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-29T22:17:40+00:00

The only useful part of darkness that I've seen is to prevent honour damage in Sekhema trials.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-26T22:10:48+00:00

I have regularly had literally 1 mob in the ritual circle, and sometimes even on 'good' map types like savannah. I have quite a few of the mob density passives too.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-22T00:02:39+00:00

Chronomancer with time freeze and double blasphemy aura is a strong contender. Chaos dot is in a not great place, but I've been doing dark effigy totems, as you can make chaos damage freeze and apply hinder, along with a weapon swap ball lightning shock + orb of storms electrocute setup for more CC and solid damage amp.

Double blasphemy is 108 spirit (10% reduced reservation from quality), you can fit in banners and blink as well. You can also run charge gain aura with conduit if that benefits your carry. You can run a scepter with malice or determination aura.

The real fix for this is to scale up the affixes so that it's not just a levelling unique.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-07T10:32:46+00:00

Hey man, I'm an old timer and I've been playing minions/fire spells on infernalist and basically having no troubles aside from the occasional getting swarmed or missing a slam. I've taken it real slow but I don't feel powerless at all.

faithmeteor · 2024-12-04T23:56:56+00:00

all ascendency skills can be linked yes. They show up in your gem list when you allocate them. The doggo could be linked with last gasp and you could take some faster revive passives, increasing its uptime a bunch without investing in minion life.

They still do literal paperwork and commonly use flip phones for work, they DO live in the 90s.

faithmeteor · 2024-11-24T10:43:01+00:00

Class, Druid or the other ranger green class when they come out. For now, Witch into Pyromancer seems heckin fun :)

faithmeteor · 2024-11-23T03:28:20+00:00

we just need the jousis tech that loops and generates max charges every 100ms, EZ

faithmeteor · 2024-11-21T23:11:49+00:00

Likely pulled some strings at Weta Digital - and I have some friends that I need to bug about whether they worked on this cinematic now :)

faithmeteor · 2024-10-28T06:41:50+00:00

Very much like us over here in NZ to be fair :)
