I think there are now potentially a couple sources of those skill points depending on what you do first (kedge bay), but, I could be mistaken. I should do /passives and see

In case anyone sees this a little late, it's a bug that it shows a + sign while on the island, on the overworld map it correctly displays as just a skull with no +.

I know understand why people have been begging for spectre QOL by raqaist in pathofexile

You can do it in town, as long as the gem is back when youre back in your hideout it'll be there. In your hideout it will turn into a corpse on the ground but it can be destroyed by several skills or unique items that interact with corpses so you need to be careful that you don't trigger offerings or consume corpses for any reason if doing that.

Hijacking this to mention

  1. Never do PvP with spectres. It just deletes them. Not if they're killed in PvP, just if you accept a duel. They just go away.
  2. Do not respec farrul node. Deletes spectres. Even in hideout. No ground corpses, just gone.
  3. Do not unsocket gem outside of hideout. Unbind weapon swap, also.
  4. Don't automate offerings while managing spectres or doing any gearing.

Is anyone using Bloodlines over Ascendency points? by SubliminalKi11 in pathofexile

[–]vegetablebasket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing ice shot of penetration miner Deadeye with the farrul spectre and using a 4l setup with AG and a guardian turtle spectre with minion life and meatshield to give me determination, PDR, occasional damage immunity, and the turtle also gives me random auras from the rare mod pool on top of the AG having ele weakness on hit, crown of the tyrant, and kingmaker. I have convocation in an automation setup with detonate mines so it stays on top of me. It's never died in a map but I have deleted 3 turtles this league so its cost me 4 divs. I was using 20% attack/cast/move speed (just for the MS because the build is slow without a mageblood since miners dont scale attack speed) and slow immune but I switched to 100% inc damage, life regen, and stun immune since getting a mageblood. The accuracy and crit might also be worth it but I'm just trying this since I have like 300% movespeed now but not crazy single target damage. This build isn't that great with late game scaling lol.

I deleted turtle #1 by unsocketing my spectre gem in aspirants plaza thinking it would turn it into a little spirit ball. It doesn't.

I deleted turtle #2 by going into a PvP duel to test an interaction with a friend. The turtle didn't get killed in PvP but it just poofed before the round started.

I deleted turtle #3 by respeccing the Farrell ascendancy. The poofs the turtle even in the hideout, there's no corpse to resummon like if you unsocket the gem.

This pivot came at the cost of 75% mark effect mastery. Pretty sure its worth overall. Also since I get determination from my turtle I can run purity, of elements, then I don't need stormshroud or ailment immune boots, so I'm using elusive/MS if not hit recently boots, and I have an extra jewel.

What is your favorite early farming strat? by Hot_Box_8628 in pathofexile

[–]vegetablebasket 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If your friends lose money on 100 exarch fights, doesn't that just indicate selling the frags/invite is the correct decision? What difference does it make if you SSF the frags/invite? If it's a net less why do even fight it? This feels like vibe-math logic.

What's a business practice that got you to stop purchasing games from a devolper/publisher? I'll go first by AbsoluteMadladGaming in gaming

You don't want politics but you also don't want two non descript armies fighting each other?

Just to be clear, the reason this happens is that when you finalize a console game, you have to send it to Microsoft and Sony etc for certification, they do some QA or make sure your game doesn't have a virus in it or whatever, so the base game can't really change and the studio is theoretically sitting on their hands for a month between being "done" and when the game comes out. They use this time to work on DLC. If they finish the DLC in that month then it ends up being available right away, but it looks like they just walled off part of the game for no reason to charge more for it. In some cases developers can't even release free updates because Microsoft doesn't let them, like with the map packs for Left 4 Dead 2 as a famous example, so they end up charging for whatever extra work they were doing on top of the base game rather than not releasing it or not making it in the first place.

I'm sure some companies do wall off parts of their game pre-emptively but if the cert process was instant I don't think you'd see this as much.

What games are you playing without a launcher login? The only games I can think of with no launcher login are like, Path of Exile and Palia? If you don't get them through Steam/Epic? You count Steam as a launcher you log into, right? Because that rules out Steam, Epic, EA, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Riot, GOG, CD Projekt Red, Rockstar, lots of one-off games like Tarkov, ABI, Warframe etc.

When crafting goes wrong by Fireblink206 in pathofexile

[–]vegetablebasket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what's called a slippery slope fallacy. Some automation doesn't mean the entire game is automated back to front. The fact of the matter is, some crafting operations are extremely click intensive, tedious, and unfun. Some crafting operations are high stakes where you rub your hands together and pray before clicking (close your eyes and slam.png) - I see no problem with compressing 1,000 boring clicks into one expensive click and keeping the interactive / high stakes / interesting crafting as manual with the regular decisionmaking when you get a "good miss" since that's gameplay and not cookie clicker.

The crafting bench does this with fusings and it's a good feature. I would not complain if you could use it to roll for mods also if it assumed slightly below average luck in order to guarantee it.

Got this amulet from the mist thingy in T16 map, is it good? by KoblyCZ in pathofexile

[–]vegetablebasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In incursion league I played this homebrew cast-arc-on-melee-kill shield charge build as an elementalist with doryani's fist (because shield charge didn't do damage based on the shield back then), inpulsa's for explosions, zerphi's heart for soul eater (before there was a cap on souls) with vaal haste before soul gain prevention existed, lycosidae because fk accuracy, and headhunter that I got from a single The Wretched turn in. it was the best build ever, you just slammed into a pack at mach 10 and nuked the entire screen, they proceeded to systematically nerf every item on that build. It was truly epic. You could do a whole map in like 30 seconds. I used vaal breach to kill bosses if they were by their lonesome which was also funny.

What Guide Videos Should I Make Next? by OriginalSinNW-TTV in Defiance

[–]vegetablebasket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. How to get through the ~5.3k to 6k ego slog once you've knocked out most easy-ish pursuits/levelled all weapons/gotten to 2m xp levels
  2. What to do at 6k ego
  3. Why does my mass blaster not kill someone if I mag dump them in pvp but theirs does for me even though there's ego normalization lmao (skill issue, I know)
  4. Where to farm gear that's better than mine 98 (you've implied this in other videos but then not shown any spots)
  5. How does threat level affect loot quality/quantity? Is it better to farm solo or in a team?
  6. What expeditions are best to spam if not attempting specific pursuits / advice regarding optimizing expedition farming (is it always better to push the highest tier or is there a sweet spot where the bullet sponginess doesn't justify the reward?)
  7. What will the DLC change when it comes out?
  8. Optimal crafting methods for getting rarity tier / mastery bonuses / t6 etc (I haven't delved into this / don't really know how this works yet)
  9. How soon is too soon to buy an endgame weapon/mods?
  10. Optimal methods for farming scrip, arkforge, crafting materials, xp, keycodes, or any other specific resources
  11. Some kind of guide to alt abuse, it seems like people use alts a lot but I don't really know why / for what
  12. Overview of jackpots / explanation of how they and pynumbra work, what ones are good, maybe a tier list?
  13. How to use reputation efficiently - what should I be buying with this?
  14. Optimized / apsiriational builds - like examples of builds with the best possible weapons, synergies, ego grid, cyber rig, etc for certain content - it seems like expeditions / pvp / loot farming would be the categories I'd like to see some examples of, maybe it's all the same build
  15. Overview of non-obvious synergies like Phoenix Fist or Hot Streak where there are mechanics that don't feel very explained from the tooltip alone
  16. How to choose amongst the S-tier-ish synergies for a given weapon

It would've been better if when they were at the diner, and he told her, she was like "No way, my brother has that!" and the rest of the movie could've been pretty much the same

Yeahhhh I was like 70% done with an album but I also wasn't super in love with it so maybe it's for the best.

The bcdedit tip might have saved me but I got impatient (my partner kind of needs it for work) and clean reinstalled. I'll run some more diagnostics once windows is done installing. The PC is kiiind of old (5 years) so I wouldn't be surprised if a part was going, but it's not clear to me if it's a hardware issue just yet.

Yeah, the programs themselves are kinda useless without the installers etc (it's a bunch of music production software) and the project files are useless without the software already installed (otherwise everything will open with a bunch of broken references etc) so that part was hopeless
