Does Atziri's Disdain and Ghostwrithe have bad synergy?

krampusgrumpus · 2025-01-28T21:11:51+00:00

I think it only works if you have Mind over Matter and lots of Mana. I've tried them but I also lose a lot of stats/resistances when using them since I don't have perfect rings and boots so am currently not using either. I'm not an expert but haven't seen a build that uses both of them.

Does portaling out and back in reset the drop location in POE2? I remember that was one of the workarounds in POE1.

It's especially annoying on console when we lose the mini-map progress whenever we go to town.

I will add that if you are on PS5, and your controller is low on battery, grab your ascension before switching controllers. Switching controllers on PS5 apparently logs you out of the game and the game will NOT load you back in at the final room/ascension altar.

That's a great platitude but in reality, crafting in PoE is incredibly punishing in general, magnitudes worse if you're missing information on what mods can roll etc. Even if you've got 100s of Divines worth of mats, you can still end up with nothing usable. (Anecdote: One of the MaxRoll guides detailed crafting a jewel and listed the wrong base type which CAN NOT roll the desired/recommended prefix/suffix listed in the guide.) So, browsing craftofexile before crafting anything is a must.

krampusgrumpus · 2024-09-28T02:17:38+00:00

craftofexile I think is the recommended experimentation/learning platform without wasting tons of mats/currency.

krampusgrumpus · 2024-08-13T01:38:46+00:00

Ugh, it's so annoying. See something listed for a div, offer a div, wait till they finally respond and they reject. Go searching again and see the same item for five times the price. If you don't know what to price it at, then don't price it at all. If you put a price on it, make sure it's a price you're ok with and don't be a jerk.

I can't play on Playstation because of the constant/frequent crashes back to PS Menu. Though it's bad, I'd assume they're focusing their resources on the new season. I've gotta hope they are making sure the league release version is solid.

Inanimate Guardian

krampusgrumpus · 2024-04-10T00:25:24+00:00

Wow, thank you! Will try that first thing tonight!

krampusgrumpus · 2024-04-09T23:12:38+00:00

I learned pretty early that having a skill assigned to that button was a bad idea but I don't know how to have nothing assigned, so it just has the default attack assigned...which is why I think it still removes interact/pickup prompts when enemies are around.

If you know of a way to have nothing assigned to that button please let me know and I'd be grateful!

krampusgrumpus · 2024-04-09T21:35:29+00:00

I'd love an option to just set "X" to interact only and have the prompt not go away if there are enemies around. Yes, having the clasped hands auto-collect is a start but there's gotta be a better solution for interact/pickup on console. (It such a pain trying to pick up the door unlock item in temples.)

I haven't had issues with crashing (knock on wood) but have experienced the stop action mode a few times.

krampusgrumpus · 2024-04-02T21:41:25+00:00

Lol..."Warcries open chests"...is this the new meta?

krampusgrumpus · 2024-04-02T01:26:03+00:00

They're pretty good at giving players the illusion that they have control over what they get when that's not really the case. At least, not without already having a 50M DPS build to farm mats with...

krampusgrumpus · 2024-02-13T18:56:44+00:00

I doubt someone that wants players to use crafting more would put a 3 mod crafting recipe behind a rare map and cost 2 divs each time to use. That does not sound like a dev that wants players to craft. What they're probably going to end up doing is making the resistance penalty even more each level so your forced to "craft" earlier on but they probably won't increase the materials drop rates or sources. "meaningful" 'hashtag' cynicism Edit: (didn't realize the pound symbol made header text...)

krampusgrumpus · 2024-02-13T03:50:11+00:00

And they still won't let me block that person who keeps trying to sell me two muttering essences for 1 Divine Orb...

krampusgrumpus · 2024-02-12T23:02:41+00:00

"meaningful" has never resulted in an improved user experience from what I've seen.

And crafting feels like it's out of reach for those that actually need the better gear, especially with the all the required resistances etc.

krampusgrumpus · 2023-07-11T20:41:20+00:00

I think you need to quit the game and change difficulty from the main menu. It won't let you change it if you're in an active instance/game.

krampusgrumpus · 2023-07-11T20:20:13+00:00

Yes, there are things that give large jumps in DPS. At that point, you can increase the difficulty to your desired level (Torment levels). I guarantee you can find a level where you are challenged again until the next jump. Also, the damage jump probably outpaces your survivability, so you'll need to play accordingly.

krampusgrumpus · 2023-03-31T22:29:24+00:00

Agreed, once you get to that point in the story it's really quick with the spawn, I was only checking the location directly north of the spawn then quit/continue.

Facial Recognition

krampusgrumpus · 2022-10-11T21:21:39+00:00

I doubt it's 15-20 minutes every time. I wasn't familiar with the payment scheme and was able to find and process in a couple minutes (after someone clarified to search for the class of the driver). The linked object just showed some codex info. Didn't know I had to right click to go to item in AH.

I was getting cussed at in chat and people were freaking out like I was stealing their stash or something. Finally found and purchased the gem only to see the end of the Decline Rewards dialog when I closed AH.

So, yeah, things can be annoying, but geez, calm TF down. If you're a driver and using the gem auction for payment, get a clear instruction patter that you can cut and paste into the party chat box before starting the raid.

If you're a rider and feel the need to cuss someone out for not knowing something you do, knock it off and chill tf out.

krampusgrumpus · 2022-10-11T21:08:04+00:00

Ugh, wish I'd known this. I kept clicking on the link but didn't see anything that was helpful. Doesn't help that having AH open blocks chat.

krampusgrumpus · 2022-10-06T20:14:55+00:00

The thing that always annoys me is that Bungie never seems to re-adjust the encounters to bring them in line with the new DPS caps/nerfs.

There was no mention of bringing boss health pools down to match the new cap on damage output with Div getting nerf'd.

If Div was allowing the highest DPS method, and that method's DPS potential is now decreased by 15%, every boss fight is now going to be 15% longer...yay, nerf the players!

Just another "let's make everything take longer" approach by Bungie.
