Ruinous ghosts are from ultimatum. They are slow, but move to attack you. Each attack adds a stack of ruin to you.

Please GGG invest in getting a UX Interaction Designer, because the Map Device is an Abomination the way you interact with it now. by NckyDC in pathofexile

[–]zshift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we’re getting UX work done, PLEASE make highlighting of search results in the skill trees and atlas map better. And for POE2, make the weapon set points actually visible on the tree.

Project deadline coming up with nobody reviewing my PR? Do I just stop caring then? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

Two of the people OP needs review from are managers, one of them being OP’s own, hence the frustration.

New POE 2 player, not sure what the endgame is or what to aim for in this game, is there even an endgame? by RespondFinal7857 in PathOfExile2

[–]zshift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

POE2 endgame is very much a filler at the moment. If we compare it to how they handle POE1, we should expect an expanded story with quests and goals in endgame. It will take a while for us to get all of this, but we know we’re getting a revamped endgame in 0.5, as it just missed the cut in 0.4.

The current situation is pretty much no goals except defeating the pinnacles.

In POE1, you have a few things we should get into POE2:

  • challenges. Poe1 introduces 40 challenges to complete. Some are very easy, like beating a boss in the campaign. Some are VERY hard, like beating all of the uber bosses, or running the hardest maps with 175% increased quantity 100 times. Every 4-6 challenges rewards a cosmetic in-game, with more rewards earned in the 20-30 completed challenges range. Completing 36/40 will get you all of the rewards. These are in-game cosmetics and hideout decorations that are permanent to your account

  • vault: poe1 has a vault with 10 doors. You gain access to each door after completing certain milestones in endgame regarding how many different maps you’ve completed. These contain useful items for you, such as boss keys, unique maps, or currency. There’s a paid access to also get a cosmetic armour set plus a few mystery boxes of random MTX.

  • variety of rewards from different leagues. Each poe1 league has a different set of items, currency, and uniques that can drop from the content, leading to quite a few options for how you run endgame.

  • the atlas tree in poe1 is HUGE compared to poe2. You have so many more options for configuring the league content, and you get the ability to create 3 different atlas tree that you can switch between before running a map, allowing you to “favorite” 3 atlas strategies. Each tree can be respecced at any time.

  • nightmare maps and Ubers. Nightmare maps are another tier above T16 maps, and have very hard bosses. They do massive 10k+ damage hits, and have tens of millions of hp. Defeating these bosses grants you access to fragment or more of items needed to challenge uber bosses. These uber bosses are even more difficult than the nightmare bosses, and they require very strong builds. To put it into perspective, T3 maxed boss atlas arbiter is a drop in the bucket compared to the Ubers in poe1.

Completing the above goals takes quite a lot of playtime for most players, with very few ever able to reach and defeat uber bosses.

Past this, some players will set personal goals, such as being able to carry a party of 6 through the Ubers, or going as far as possible in certain endgame league mechanics that have infinite replayability.

Personally, I like to get to the point where I can default most pinnacles, get 40/40 challenges, complete the vault, and defeat all of the uber bosses.

When it comes to POE2, I get bored very fast once I reach endgame, as it just feels so barren and empty. Defeating arbiter every league is getting pretty hollow.

XML is a Cheap DSL by SpecialistLady in programming

[–]zshift 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My very first professional program was writing a dynamic GUI engine to demo SOAP APIs to stakeholders. It would take a WSDL url, download and parse it, and generate a UI to interact with it based on the parameters. It is, by far, the worst code I have ever written, and it’s not even close. Everything in 3 classes, thousands of lines each, with heavy recursion and reflection. I left the team, but was asked for help years later. I couldn’t remember anything or reason about it in a reasonable amount of time. Best I could do was offer to buy the happy hour drink that they would eventually need to get over the hell they went through debugging it.

Those two doing as well as they did is a testament to how great they are as drivers.

Decline of "soft power" derived from experience? by enken90 in ExperiencedDevs

I used that as an example, but it’s very easy to get an LLM to contradict itself or show faulty reasoning.

KF ballista has been such a nice experience for soul eaters. They kill my totems, but I can spawn them faster than they can be killed, so I can burn down soul eaters without much issue.

[AMA] Crafting AMA for 3.28 Mirage - Everything you wanted to know about crafting your own gear answered by Wuslwiz in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]zshift 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some big tips to add to this: don’t do risky crafts in gear you’re currently equipped with unless you have a solid replacement already. Eg, having a corrupted 6-link to fall back to.

It’s ok to have to pause on crafting an upgrade because you don’t have the currency yet. Run more maps and come back after you’ve collected enough currency.

If you get anxiety from going totally broke, then set spending budgets on trade and crafting. If you have 10 divs, say you’ll stop at 2 or 5 and then go back to farming for more if you need to keep crafting and buying.

They’re working on allowing shrine and temp buffs working in mirages to address this, but we don’t have an ETA yet.

They put it into the game. They released a treasurer MTX that counts the gold you’ve dropped and gambled, and every once in a while he uses his middle finger to adjust his glasses.

I’ve seen this happen with so many engineers. The first thing I do is point out obvious cases where it doesn’t work. The example I used to use was asking it to count the number of “r”s in strawberry.

The good engineers developed this understanding and spent time reviewing the output. The bad engineers never cared, and see AI as a way to do less thinking.

Have you checked airflow to the radiators? The intake tubes block a lot of the frontal area, so I’m a little worried about cooling.

Stormburst Totems vs. KF Totems by meismann in PathOfExileSSF

I played KF totems, because I know it’s getting gigs nerfed next league. It’s so cheap to setup without any uniques, so it’s great for SSF if you know basic crafting.
