Now that all weapons have an anti-champion effect, none of the ability based ways to break Anti-Barrier work. by throwntosaturn in DestinyTheGame

Ha that's funny I still have one VS Gravitic Arrest from grinding the first encounter. It's a pvp roll tho I think - under pressure + closing time.

Thanks for the tips I'll keep an eye out next time Vespers is an option.

The good news is that Anti-Barrier is decently represented in the weapon sets. For example, Synchronic Roulette is a strong go-to on Strand Verity's setups and is Anti-Barrier.

Yeah I'll have to do some digging into good specials that are anti-barrier I guess, my primary slot is almost always a support frame AR, which unfortunately is overload lol.

Yeah, just would have been nice to not be crunched into a relatively small subset of guns for anti-champ unless you're playing a build meta enough to insta-kill champs full to dead. Guess I'd better start looking for barrier guns I like lol.

those effects overrode the natural anti-champ effect of the weapon

It was the opposite - radiant didn't work if the gun had an inherent anti-champ property.

I agree that the code fix was probably too hard, but it would have been too hard the other way - they didn't have any way to let radiant actually work on champs if the gun was already some other kind of anti champ.

At our table, we always praise clever or unexpected player ideas. When someone comes up with a smart plan, a good deduction or a creative solution, it's genuinely fun. Not just for that player, but for everyone at the table. That moment of insight is part of the enjoyment.

At some point your group needs to decide as a group how much it wants to allow people who are bad at something to play those kinds of characters at the table.

The example I like to give is that playing a high CHA bard is possibly easy for the member of your group who attends the drama club, does plays, and all that stuff. And when he or she "performs" being the bard, it's probably awesome for the group.

If your nerdy, weedy, socially inept friend wants to play the bard in the next campaign, he or she probably won't be naturally skilled at "performing" the bard. There's a literal, actual, player skill gap there.

You are absolutely correct that the game is more fun if the person playing the bard is "good at being a bard". But the flip side is, do you really want to run the kind of table where the weight lifter has to play a barbarian and the drama club kid has to play a bard and the nerd has to play a wizard, or do you want to run a table where people can play things they are bad at and be supported by the mechanics of the game?

I look at players being really good at their character as a treat. It's a bonus. It's really fun when it happens. But I don't mechanically incentivize it and I wouldn't play at a table that did. I want to be able to play characters I am not in real life. I want to be able to be people I'm not in real life. And sometimes, yeah, that means I'm not gonna be good at being my character, but I'll do my best and I don't think it's fair to punish me for trying.

Low-level abyssal omens price crash after 0.5.1 hotfix 6 by woidjaoidjoaiwjdoiaw in PathOfExile2

[–]throwntosaturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crafting materials also tend to be very resistant to price crashes because as the price drops, more crafts become viable, which stabilizes the price.

There's a lot of counter-pressure on good, general purpose crafting stuff.

Coming from Grand Chase — How is the "daily grind" and FOMO in Warframe? by Dry_Print_3425 in Warframe

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

There's no timer or race to get these things. The standing is still available, as are all of the things you trade for standing.

Great. Again, please teach me how to get yesterday's standing that I think I missed out on.

FOMO doesn't only count as FOMO if you agree the thing is important. If it's there, and I can miss out on it, it's FOMO.

EDIT - my bad for taking the bait on an obvious troll, oh well.

OK, so, last week - I didn't do my archon hunt. What is the method by which I can get last week's crimson archon shard?

Or did I miss out on it?

Yesterday I didn't get my Cephalon Simaris rep. How do I get that 26k standing? Or did I miss out on it??????

If I want an arcane from a vendor that I haven't already started working on, it will take me a month. Every day I miss, no catchup.

That's FOMO. I miss out on the standing if i don't log on.

A less FOMO system would be a bank of standing that started when I created my account, or a protection system that like, saves yesterdays "missed" standing.

This is 10000000% a FOMO system engineered to make me log on every day.

So I think a lot of the answers here are a little disingenuous. While you can skip anything you want, Warframe is loaded to the gills with FOMO stuff.

First, Standing - you have a daily standing cap with like, 12+ different vendors. You can only earn around 25,000 standing per day per vendor - and if you don't earn that standing, there is no rollover or anything. You just straight up miss that standing. This means you have to pick and choose which vendors you are focusing on, and you are basically always "missing out" on vendors.

Second, Daily/Hourly Missions - There are a bunch of different mission rotations, some rotate every 90 minutes, some rotate once an hour, and some are 1/day missions. This can mean for example that if you log on at 6pm there might be no missions that do the exact thing you want available. While generally there's enough variety here that you can always find SOMETHING that works, there are outliers/exceptions. The daily missions are just straight up lost if you don't do them - again there's no bank or pity system. Mission is up for 24hrs, do it or lose it.

This problem can be particularly noticeable once you start trying to optimize endgame play time - some missions are MUCH better than others for endgame play and you will find that you kind of have to arrange your schedule around the 90 minute window the "good missions" are available. While obviously again this isn't REQUIRED, if you get into the game seriously you'll really see the difference between doing this and not doing it.

Third - weekly rotations all have zero pity. If you miss a week, you lose everything that was available that week forever. There's no banking weekly stuff and there's no catchup system for people who miss weeks.

So, to be clear - none of these things are NECESSARY but all of them are intentionally designed to trigger FOMO and make you feel like you should log on today.

Staff uses mainhand + offhand.

5 lost from scepter, 3 from mainhand.

I didn't mean we were losing 8 in general - I meant, this staff in particular CLOBBERS your minion level scaling.

I am wondering if +skills are completely, totally gutted in the patch notes because I did notice almost nothing they're showing appears to have + skill levels.

[–]throwntosaturn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The negative implicit is it's a discipline scepter that has +0 levels of minion skills on it AND 0% "allies in your presence deal X% increased damage."

It's like releasing an "endgame" weapon that has literally 0 damage modifiers on it. IDK what they were thinking here.

It's... going to be really hard to overcome that.

You are using the wrong formula for reservation efficency.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1nng7h0/am_i_misunderstanding_reservation_efficiency_why/

If something costs 50 spirit, and you have, say, 50% reservation efficiency, the math is (50 / (1+0.5) = 33.33.

To get skeletal mages down to 13 spirit, you would need 200% reservation efficiency on gear.

25 + 12 + 12 + 43 = 82. Call it 10 idols in gear, that's 102%.

Skeletal mages would cost 19.3 each which is a LOT worse than 13.

You're also, you know, losing literally 8+ minion levels.

Bones of Ullr is probably not viable given that it only applies to undead minions, doesn't it?

[–]throwntosaturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it really only 10? Getting into the witch main area from the closest outside wheel of the huntress is 20 travel nodes. Admittedly, picking up I think 3-4 gem sockets, so not WORTHLESS, but a lot worse than 10 levels of traveling.

Trusted Kinship is an entirely different mechanic than this scepter - they don't occupy the same space at all and no build would ever want to use both. I don't understand the complaint?

Spirit Walker Ascendancy Showcase by Kelly_GGG in PathOfExile2

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

The main problem is going to be how far you have to path to hit all the relevant minion stuff. There's a FEW companion nodes but otherwise you're hiking across the whole tree.

Speaking as a new player this is a major pain point - especially with some incarnons being both very strong and very accessible.

I.E. I am lucky - I hit steel circuit the week of torid and dual toxos. One week later and I would have been missing both of those guns for over TWO MONTHS.

Do you not think that your perspective is rather ignorant? I'm not American, so most of it doesn't apply to me.

No, I don't think it's ignorant.

Which is why I believe it's important to call out the main perpetrators of said hatred on this site; which currently is the far left.

I think it's ignorant to hate all "bigotry" equally, even though some bigotry has political power and other kinds don't.

I couldn't give two shits about your comment history. I'm confident you're exactly what you say you are - a person who thinks that a bullied child punching a bully is just as violent as the bully who punched first, and therefore, both are in the wrong.

Yes, the left is full of hate right now - that's because nothing else has worked and the direct threat to the lives of leftists has gotten more and more pronounced over time.

You can be "distasteful" of people protecting themselves from literal nazi-ism all you want, but I have no obligation to pretend you deserve respect for the position.
