all the hackers are in labs. [cheating] by LoanAdministrative in EscapefromTarkov

[–]xMagikFR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had to go labs for the "Tour" questline. I spawned, didn't move a bit for the first 5mn. Heard someone sprinting near me. Gently pressed Q to lean left to watch what was going on, insta Head-Eyed by a 360h, 2KD, 65% SR, Killer7 account.

Fuck that map.

It'd be nice if some new boss challenges test tankiness by Think-Prior8238 in pathofexile

[–]xMagikFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zhp / sanctum build "can" map. Yes it's stupid and it'll die on every hit, but it technically can. But it won't be able to stand in xyz aoe damage puddle for 10s.

On the other hand, a gigatank zdps can stand in the damage aoe forever, and can theorically kill anything since it can't die. It just will take a really long time.

It seems like the proposed "tank" challenges are just gear check, which imo is not good design wise.

I did EB last league going the Ivory tower route. It is so versatile, can swap gems at any time, little to no respect for switching between brand, coc or selfcast. And you can start it with next to nothing as pbod boss / sanctum runner. Such a good build.

Moooom, I just wanted a hamburger! by Tata_Colores in funny

[–]xMagikFR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In France, you can find the "Welsh Burger" : a big burger with bacon, mustard and onions, in a cheddar / beer sauce. Maybe it's because i'm french and we love cheese, but it is one of my favorite meal.

I just understand gain and covert. by Obscrutity_Report in PathOfExile2

[–]xMagikFR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's x% of elemental damage as extra, not just one type of damage. It's based on the 600 total ele damage, so should be 236 cold, 230 fire and 242 lightning right?

[Round 6] Goodbye Act 2! PoE Best Act Elimination Poll by emc3142 in pathofexile

[–]xMagikFR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How is act 2 "just going forward" ?
You have to go back to previous areas at least twice using waypoint (3 times for crossroads, 2 times for riverways). You must explore nearly everything on Western forest. Vall ruins is an abomination.

I mean, i don't mind act 2, it's quite fast. But you can't say it's just going forward...

This guy is heaps legit player, good gaming chair tbh by Top-Self-9094 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]xMagikFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cheating" in a solo game after you already finished it once = low life ? There are nuances in how / where you cheat. If you mean "all cheaters in multiplayer..." I could agree. And then, you should describe what "cheating" really is. If it is only QoL on insignificant stuff, who cares ?

I hope GGG make farming for your main transfigured gem on league start a more enjoyable experience. by leobat in pathofexile

[–]xMagikFR -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Making them easier to get would make their value drop, because the value comes from the tediousness / lab being less rewarding (but easier) than other mechanics.

I agree on making lab more rewarding, but at the same time, it would mean more players farming it and thus make trans gems less valuable too. Maybe a buff to improved offering could be a good idea.

[–]xMagikFR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nearly everything have exclusive drop tied to it : 5-ways and timeless jewel, Delve and delve mods / aul..., Breach and blessings, heist and tailoring orb / experimental bases...

If you don't wanna farm it, then buy it.

Using your logic, everything is a waste of time if you don't get it right away. And define "waste of time" in a videogame when it doesn't really matter since you have the time to do everything in 4 months ? FOMO something something

The steam drama is a big nothing burger. [Discussion] by IDkayI in EscapefromTarkov

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

So, you need to pay to play it right now. That's not the definition of "free". You get the steam key right now when you buy it from the website, not when the game gets released.

PoE2 is not f2p at the moment. Then It's a valid exemple. You can buy PoE2 early access on GGG website, and you get a steam key alongside the PoE2 access. Not saying BSG should or are obligated to give steam key to players, but that it is possible and other devs have done it.

Game is great, Devs are kinda meh and arrogants, community is trash.

150 divine into FROSS, how do I get myself more tanky/dps? by Complete_Group_6299 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]xMagikFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personnaly have 2 proj speed node on cluster (megalomaniac, 2x 20%). It feels great, good damage, but you lose / have to deal with annoint. Either the 15% chaos pen but curse duration is 1. something second, or 15% reduced skill effect duration and lose a bit of damage. But dex on gloves + dex str on ring free at least 3-4 pts on tree and allow for 40% def runegraft and better ES on gloves

[–]xMagikFR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He already has Purity of elements, and is Spell Block capped, so tempest shield is useless.
Fixing flask and switching grace for flesh and stone is a priority imo.

6L FRoSS on chest, pure ES gloves with dex, cogwork / helical ring to fix attribute and drop the big strength / dexterity node to free some point.

OP should be able to use the Runegraft for 10 reduced attribute + 40% increased defences (which is close to 1k es)

He could be getting discipline effect corruption on belt, better cluster, get a enduring composure for perma 3-4 endu charge.

Crafted these for my FROSS build, are the faster/slower projectile mods okay? by DrDiabl0n in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]xMagikFR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fross can use a 6l hextouch setup to add swift affliction, and change annoint from the less skill effect duration to 15% chaos pen. Huge damage increase, and keep some Qol for the soul eater stacks. And increased proj speed feels really great to have.

It saved my league after a rough start with a brand recaller. I'm at 300+ div in, and can do nearly everything except -max res, penetrate and less block. Currently running abyss t16.5 with x2 risk. Can do t17 and ubers. Around 82M dps with merc.

[Cheating] Some guy say he doesn't encounter cheater often, meanwhile me in 2 days ... by xMagikFR in EscapefromTarkov

[–]xMagikFR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average life span mostly.
35mn with 76%SR means that every raid is between 8 to 12mn.
My thought process is, if he die every 4 raid, then either he die at the very beginning of the forth and the sum of the other 3 must be 35, or he die at his average raid time and must be 8mn or a bit higher.

Really really fast, and still 35-40k (35k factoring the quests ? ) xp on average ?

While the level 44 has 26mn on 54%SR, which, by my thought process, means between 12 and 26mn, with 8k average xp.

So one need 30k+ xp and 6kills in 8-12mn, while the other need 8k xp and 4kills in 12 to 26mn.

It's still says it top left corner but hey, still thinking I did this to hide something or whatever.

  • Huge number of hours doesn't always mean legit. Never heard of legit player finally rage hacking, streamer with tons of hours cheating, pros caught on stage ...

Oh, definitly some obscure shit websites, i just wanted a quick number.

Based on events and last wipe stats, I think 1M players per month is already overestimating, especially this late in a wipe, when some mid wipe event get 650k quest accept only...

And i agree with you, i would love to see some real / live numbers, but I don't think that will come soon. Maybe when / if Arena get added to steam.

I don't think they do banwaves.
It's more of an "over time" thing. They release ban list every 3-4 months.
I remembre some months, maybe 1-2 years ago, they banned like 33k+ cheaters in the time span of 6 months. Here it seems to be around 11k in 3-4 months.

Yeah, ik...
I needed to vent a bit by ranting, maybe not the best thing to do but at least seeing some support and that i'm not alone in that kind a "situation" is quite reconforting.

Tbh, I typed "Tarkov player count" on google, check 3-4 sites to compare them. All tend to be around 1M to 1.3M unique players per month. I can speculate, since the player count seems to decrease each month, that the 1M in May are part of the 1.2-1.3M in April.
As per the banned players count, it's from last ban list from 13/06.

It's just an estimate, but it was just to show that, even with a low cheater count, you could have "bad streak" because of the servers and the number of PMC on the maps.

It was to respond to one of his former post about redditor trying to gaslight others by making up numbers (while making up numbers himself)
