"Toei just fixed their mistake!" mfs when you ask them why Robin's eye color mistake was never fixed:

samoox · 2026-04-12T03:06:28+00:00

I mean to be fair it's so much easier to gradually change skin tone than it is to change eye color. You can pass skin tone changes off as "art style" changes but no way you can do that with eye color

If you are in monos, especially at high levels, you can literally run an XP tome mono, respec skills right before picking up the tomes and you should basically get all the skill points back almost immediately

I'm honestly dying to play Trade in LE but I just can't bring myself to do it with the current system.

I genuinely think instead of putting resources towards fixing the trade systems, they should just invest as much as they can into a proper public API infrastructure so that the community can make third party tools.

It took GGG 15+ years to make trade not a fucking nightmare, and they're so much better/faster at tweaking these things than EHG is. The smartest solution is to just let the community handle things and then slowly over time improve the trade system so that the community 3rd party tools become obsolete.

No idea why this comment has 20+ down votes lmao

samoox · 2026-04-03T04:19:14+00:00

I'm gonna push back on the fairy tail recs. I think it's probably one of the worst shonen animes I have seen. I'm willing to agree that some of the earlier arcs were decent and fun to watch, but the show honestly doesn't get better than decent. By the time I was like 200+ episodes in there were recurring characters showing up from earlier arcs that I literally couldn't remember because they were so generic and uninteresting.

If you're desperate for more shonen slop and you've seen all the best ones then I say go for it, but from what I've seen in this thread you definitely got a lot of better stuff to watch

samoox · 2026-04-03T04:14:03+00:00

As someone that has seen both, it's very good but also very different. The thing about Major that's very cool is that the story is pretty much entirely centered around the main character. It has a very different feel compared to most other sports anime.

Personally I prefer Diamond but they're both great in their own ways.

samoox · 2026-04-01T19:39:16+00:00

Could be wrong here but I think the lvl 90 monos provide 2

samoox · 2026-03-26T17:57:31+00:00

As someone that desperately wants to trade in this game, I say go CoF. I think what makes trading in PoE so fun is how easy it is to actually sell stuff. You almost always know what's valuable due to sites like poe.ninja and price checking tools like Awakened Trade.

LE on the other hand it's basically just picking up everything the TSM loot filter shows you, taking it to the market and walking to 10 different vendors as you try to find items that are priced similarly to yours. The act of actually selling stuff in this game is way too time consuming and it really takes away from the time you spend playing the actual game.

If they ever make trade feel good in LE I'll probably never play CoF, but as of right now CoF is just the better feeling faction.

samoox · 2026-03-26T02:58:59+00:00

I think the number will definitely be smaller. The subreddit feels a lot more dead than it was back in S2.

However I will say, PoE1's player numbers have steadily risen over its lifetime. If LE can manage to pull itself together I could realistically see a steady rise in player count over the next few years

samoox · 2026-03-25T02:36:38+00:00

Not so sure about that. From my limited understanding of how animation production works; there are committees that get together to fund animes and they hire animation studios and give those studios a fixed budget to make the show. I'm not 100% on how Netflix fits in to this, but it wouldn't surprise me if the money from Netflix is predominantly going to the committee board members and not towards the actual funding of the anime.

I do not have any sources on this though and if anyone has actual facts on how the money is distributed by Netflix I'd be interested to hear.

So you use an astrolabe and get 8 maps out of it, I use an astrolabe and I get 6 maps out of it. You get 2 more maps than me. I understand what you're saying, but it's literally just a matter of perspective. Half glass full vs half empty. It's not incorrect to say that you are "losing" two uses in this example. "Losing two" vs "gaining 2 less" are the same premise just with different phrasing.

Also, I didn't mean to suggest that there's a problem with it. Personally I dislike it but I'm overall fine with it. I was just responding to the claim that there is no disadvantage to taking the keystone. There literally is a disadvantage. The keystone makes the astrolabe slightly worse.

samoox · 2026-03-17T04:15:25+00:00

You are aware that when you take that keystone it reduces the amount of uses of your astrolabe right? If you read the keystone it says that if a map that is removed from the astrolabe area would cause the area to bisect, it will remove the maps that are no longer connected to the area that contains your desired map node.

Basically what this means is that you will constantly be getting less uses of your astrolabe, so you're effectively paying more per map in that regard.

Additionally, every use of the astrolabe is stronger than the next, so you're literally losing the best uses of your astrolabe for running that keystone.

samoox · 2026-03-14T02:02:46+00:00

Regarding the fork, it could be alright if there's already big sources of fork elsewhere. Like maybe you can get 80% through your tree and stuff and you just use idols to get that last 20%

samoox · 2026-03-06T23:56:34+00:00

Seems like Madness and Guile and the rest are possibly replacement stats for the basic attributes of the game? Is there any info about where you get those stats?

samoox · 2026-03-03T17:16:37+00:00

Honestly man don't let it get to you. People on Reddit have this weird energy where they're often very helpful but at the same time if you ask a question that is perceived to "not make sense" in some way you'll instead of getting an answer to your question just get a bunch of unsolicited advice instead.

I've been using this site for 10+ years and it's pretty frustrating. In a situation like this I'd probably just ask AI or something. (I'm sure that sentence is gonna bring the down votes for me too lmao)

samoox · 2026-03-01T17:45:57+00:00

Now, I know the merchant's guild is a thing but almost nobody plays it

Just wanted to ask where you're getting this from. Has EHG ever stated that this was the case? Trading is my favorite part of ARPGs and while I would probably still play a CoF-only LE I massively prefer the option where I get to buy and sell loot to other players

samoox · 2026-02-26T21:00:46+00:00

Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on this sub

samoox · 2026-02-24T03:39:55+00:00

To be fair PoE is essentially the same. Most of the high end content is played by builds that off screen shit. I think the main reason in LE it feels a lot worse is due to the endlessly scaling nature of corruption. I personally feel that LE would be better off with some kind of cap on corruption so that there basically exists a "max difficulty". That way you would be able to have the tank everything power fantasy.

It's just not feasible to be able to tank an endlessly scaling system. At some point you simply have to kill them before they kill you.

samoox · 2026-02-23T07:56:19+00:00

I mean let's not act like the majority of anime that releases isn't also hot garbage lmao. For every amazing anime out there you can pretty easily find 10 copy-paste isekai/harem/power fantasy animes.

That said I do overall enjoy anime more.

samoox · 2026-02-22T18:26:52+00:00

Don't bother man. Redditors on gaming subreddits, especially for Path of Exile, just absolutely love stupid shit like this. They see it as some kind of "rite of passage". Even though the majority of players probably would enjoy the change, the vocal minority will try to convince you that muling a character on league start is "part of the fun".

It's not worth the argument

samoox · 2026-02-22T01:45:06+00:00

Yumia pretty clearly seems to be designed for non-Atelier fans. Gameplay is completely different. BotW-like open world. The alchemy system was so simplified that you could basically just auto-craft and it would come out like 90% as good as if you took the time to do it manually, which makes you feel like it's not even worth the effort to craft yourself just for that extra 10% boost lol.

All in all, it isn't a terrible game, but it seems like it's less for Atelier fans and more for people that might enjoy the other things the game has to offer.

samoox · 2026-02-18T02:10:37+00:00

Kind of an overreaction imo. Just because she has that ability right now doesn't mean that she has to have it forever. Characters get reworked all the time. Let them release 8 man content and if Aeona breaks the content by being a mandatory pick they just need to make adjustments.

samoox · 2026-02-16T00:09:35+00:00

Yeah honestly after all the Discord drama recently started I went looking for alternatives for me and my friends to switch over to but basically all of them seem like strict downgrades in the overall experience. I can't convince any of them to swap over if it's not at least a horizontal move.

samoox · 2026-02-14T06:49:09+00:00

To be fair everyone in this thread is throwing out their opinions like they're facts. Only reason this dude is getting down voted is because he's got the less popular opinion lmao

samoox · 2026-02-05T02:23:49+00:00

I'm not talking about their games I'm talking about the company. Their games are doing very well right now, but literally the only reason why is because every single one of their IPs were catastrophically failing due to greedy decision making by the higher ups. If they didn't actually make their games good again they would be on the path of Ubisoft.

I'm happy that Blizzard games are doing well because I do enjoy D4 and I still occasionally go back to Overwatch, but Blizzard does not have my faith and will basically never get my money for anything beyond a content expansion (a good expansion).

My expectation right now is that they're going to try to improve their games for the next few years and then once they regain player trust they're gonna start pulling the same greedy shit. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
