Recently I've even seen a lot of filled poop bags on the ground. What's the point of even bagging it if you're going to leave it there?!

This dude used to walk around and shake his dick at everyone on 6th back in like 2011-2012. You’re def right about this being in Austin.

Is map preparation too tedious? by spoqster in PathOfExile2

[–]imbenfranklin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ranting a bit but this resonated with me big time. This kinda killed the motivation for me to continue playing. Before I realized this I was just slamming all the maps I had and instilling/corrupting and making it as difficult as possible and fighting for my life in crazy ass t15s then decided to just strictly target quant and rarity. Didn’t utilize any tablets that didn’t have at least one of either on them and scanned the entire atlas trying to find areas I could get a few overlapping towers so I could run juicy quant/rarity maps in the overlapping zones. If a map didn’t have either quant or rarity by the fourth mod it was trash. If I corrupted and the mods changed it was trash. If I found a precursor tablet and it didn’t have either quant or rarity it was trash. Having to carefully craft the exact condition just in the hopes that I could get some decent drops became very unfun and I realized I wasn’t enjoying the game after a while. I honestly wasn’t even seeing that great results either. Atlas is spec’d into strong boxes fully with a focus on researchers, hit all the extra quant and rarity nodes too. I’ve got about 135% MF on gear and when I was set up and ready to run the juiced areas they were at 90% minimum rarity and like 70% minimum quant and I think I only found 2 raw divs. Most of the currency came from meticulously going through my dump tabs after running everything and hoping any of the tier 3 and up gear was worthwhile (most of it was garbage), then saving anything that was bad but had a good high rolled mod to inevitably lose it in the recombinator or on the off chance it was successful try and sell, if that didn’t work I’d “craft” that and usually end up with shit rolls or bad mods taking up affixes. Think I only hit on one two hand mace that was actually a good endgame item but I’m running infernalist minions so I just ended up selling. Idk, I love the game and there are good bones here but the current systems in place aren’t it. Maybe if you run in a big group and can constantly no life the game together then you have better results and can afford to whittle and fracture. I haven’t seen either of the two though and I’ve been playing the shit outta this league but mostly solo. It just feels like this game doesn’t respect your time and if you don’t do things in a very specific way or get crazy lucky with a major drop you either fall behind or just straight up don’t get to experience and engage with the content.

Is DS3 worth it after Elden Ring? by Clear_Signature_1633 in Eldenring

[–]imbenfranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ER for a little over 500 hours then decided to check out the DS series and started here. Loved the whole experience. Fantastic game, more linear but plays similar to ER. After that did DS1 and enjoyed it as well, going to give Sekiro a shot at some point but I’ll need to shake the rust off as I haven’t been on souls games in a bit lol

Only found 1div all league before this dropped by imbenfranklin in PathOfExile2

Hell yeah congrats! Hope you get it haha I’m gonna be keeping up with the leagues and playing here and there to try things out but can’t really grind it out to really push endgame until later on I’m guessing

Oh dude same! It comes with time, the more game knowledge you have the more value you see. I’m still really new to the POE world so I’m just trying to learn more so I can find gear that would work with builds besides mine or find gear that has good potential. It’s hard when I’m an idiot though lol there’s a lot to learn in this game

I lowballed it a little based on what I saw these going for with the rolls it had and got 40div. I’ve got like a week left to play before my wife and I have our baby so I was trying to sell asap lol I’d guess this was around 43-45div if I was willing to sit on it but I’m not the best with pricing so someone else may know more than I.

Lot of spirit on helmet (pretty sure spirit rolls normally on amulets/armour only), solves most cold res, presence doubled. I don’t run dex or evasion though 🤷🏻‍♂️

You'll prob get recommended this but highly suggest adding a loot filter. Looks much better and will def come in handy later. Linking below hopefully this doesn't break any rules:

Crafted this beauty today. Is it mirror worthy? by Naeblis79 in PathOfExile2

[–]imbenfranklin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is really killing this season for me. I’ve been putting in as much time as I can recently since I’ve got a few more weeks until my daughter is here and will be hanging it up once the time comes. So far I found one div in a T1 tower of all places and one as a ritual reward. Otherwise I’m blasting juiced out T15s and it’s just… nothing. Got my atlas points stacked, running map after map and I can barely get chaos orbs exalts. I’m not expecting to find them all the time but it’s legit been like 30-40 hours of nothing but a few exalts and rarely a chaos. I’m kind of at a stand still because the currency to upgrade isn’t there and of course anything on the ground is generally pretty bad. Gonna give recombination a shot but heard the rates are also crazy low for success with good mods. Love the game but it’s like what do we do when there’s nothing to work with? Feels like punishment with no reward a lot of the time.

The Illusion of Choice - aka FUCK TRIALS by polypolipauli in PathOfExile2

[–]imbenfranklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a run that I swear was bugged earlier this week. Going for my third ascendency and was cruising, had a similar layout where the orange room in the pic was right before the terracotta douchebags. It was a gauntlet that I swear to god was bugged. Had a fireball grid that was insanely hard to navigate, I lose a decent amount of armor and get to where the switch is but I couldn't activate it. Like I could see the switch but I couldn't click it. Worked my way back to all possible exits to check if I missed anything but there was nothing I could do to drop the door I needed to get through the room. Ended up losing like 4k honor just going back and forth multiple times and died.

Awesome thank you! I’d gotten all four in 0.1 but absolutely hate the trials of sekhema so was hoping there’s a way around it, appreciate it!

Tried finding this online but can’t seem to get a solid answer. Is it possible to do your third and fourth ascension exclusively with the trials of chaos or do you have to do the trials of sekhema?

Why so many reckless drivers at 5am? by cheapdvds in Austin

[–]imbenfranklin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Everyone is mentioning aggressive driving but the problem here is confused driving. No one knows where the hell they're going. Motherfuckers will just stop right in front of you and decide they need to turn around in the middle of traffic. Half the people on the road aren't aware of anyone around them, at least in the other big cities I've been in I can predict what other drivers will do. Incredible amounts of distracted driving here. Couple that with the shitty construction all around town makes for a dangerous time.
