I did Wrath abuse, so Perquil's Toe was required. I didn't use any of the Unique or Pinnacle implicits because I was trying to keep it to "starter", which is 10s of chaos per slot max, Paradoxica being the lone exception. But, either way, good catch, I agree the top end of aura stacking...

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/4013680 If I'm reading these correctly, aura stacking Luminary, where your merc provides you a flat aura that you abuse, is completely untouched. Well, maybe not completely, merc might need some defense.

Seems more like patching a core design issue instead of fixing the core issue itself(boring maps, too many waystones). Hmmm, that feels familiar. Maps too big? More checkpoints. Too much backtracking? Sprinting. The "purely optional" response is used in discussion of Kingsmarch mechanics...

Perhaps I misinterpreted your original point. What did you mean by "tying it in with QoL"? Arbitrary's post said it better than mine. If they can avoid that feeling, good.

The QoL with Kingsmarch mappers and shippers was never the issue. They were uninteresting mechanics that use mobile game incentives to keep you playing instead of actually interesting gameplay. Has that been addressed or are you going to be incentivized to login every so often to direct your...

I hope that's where they end up. The passive tree pathing puzzle is one of the best parts of character planning.

Kingsmarch was one of the worst PoE1 leagues, even if you discount it lasting almost a year. It's a shame they're deciding to reuse this mechanic.

Claims from the same idiots that removed life from the passive tree but left %ES for multiple leagues in a row? Or is there a passive tree preview somewhere? It's concerning much footgunning is going on in PoE2.

If they have a design space problem with crit chance(they do), it definitely needs addressing. I think this was the worst way to address it. The passive tree in PoE2 was already way too weak and this makes it worse. Player power was already skewed heavily towards items and this will make it...

Got its second DLC today. It's not exactly the same as most games posted in this thread(Vampire Survivors clones) in that there's no player power meta progression. There are unlocks. Which, I'd argue is a positive since it helps preserve build diversity. The original developer is no longer...

I honestly don't know. It's a fair question and I don't know why I'm not more insistent about sticking to regular working hours despite being sick of it. I've become more non-confrontational as I've aged and I don't like letting others down. Off hours work is often catching up on stuff I feel...

I'm still working through a significant backlog from the merger. None of our testing infrastructure worked with theirs, so I'm having to reimplement most of our test suites. We just got attachments back last week, after more than a year without them. Imagine diagnosing failures with the...

Yes, sometime during standup, but often during weekly meetings.

We do the typical two week iterations, retrospective, and planning. It is on me to request work that can't fit to be moved out of my iteration, I need to do better there. Can AI be useful here? Quick and medium(like the two in my previous post) verbally communicated tasks get recorded as 1-2...

Work harder, not smarter. I could use some advice, books, youtube videos, whatever. I feel like I've been compensating for a lack of....high level?...organizational skills by just working more and more. At least a couple days per week, I'm pretty much working all day outside of eating and...

I would really like to see some substantiation as I'm dubious of meaningful overlap.

I think it would be an improvement if AI was adversarial and called me a meatbag. Stupid idea? AI can't document your code, you have to as part of the review process.

If you guys hate each other that much, why not just get divorced? Quicker and less painful.

Is there that could help guide someone on this the first few times? This sounds similar to stuff Matt Pocock cooks up, but he iterates far too much to follow closely.

Maybe. You're suggesting get the work small enough so that auto is more trustworthy?

Pull ticket and stick it in plan mode. Read plan, make corrections, ask questions. Stick it in manual mode, laboriously approve all operations so it doesn't blow past code changes. Read, understand, and correct if necessary said changes. If the change was substantial, spawn separate agent who...

You've normalized making such utterly retarded takes that I honestly can't tell if you're joking. So...good job?

Kinda disappointing to see Chris buying the hype. He should know better.

I've only worked with Claude, but I've generally been happy with Opus. People I work with have been comparatively negative about Codex, which sucks with the whole watermarking shit and DoD customers, which we have.

Perhaps that's part of the difference between our reactions. I don't think I've ever been a good programmer. Just yesterday a colleague was explaining different ways to design logging solutions and I'm just like...print()? Not that I don't understand the concepts when explained, I just don't...

I'm on the train, don't worry. At least somewhat. I upgraded to Claude Code Max last week so that I had the tokens to run automated test triage(fully replacing the idiot underling) while still having more than enough for the rest of my development work. Wrote my first skill a few days ago...

I can't seem to get comfortable with AI from a knowledge retention perspective. I will investigate, plan, read the diffs(in manual mode, no auto), ask for explanations and changes, review the final output, understand everything and then feel like a fraction of that was retained as opposed to...

Aren't trucks inherently mobile? I wonder if this will anger more people than the pedantry.

As a QA team lead, AI definitely speeds up parts of our work. We never had time for unit testing our test harness, now it's an afterthought as AI manages that for "free". There's definitely a blind spot there, I'm not reviewing the unit tests AI writes, so they could all be worthlessly...

Oh, I doubt it's Commander then, I didn't know it required 4 people. It's just some after school club that meets once in a while. Perhaps one of those prebuilts would be better?

Fuck that. Until the computer industry unfucks itself, continuing to push graphical fidelity is harmful to a game's bottom line. PoE2 is probably going to push past 200GB with 1.0 because of how ridiculous their shaders are. I wouldn't be surprised to see games advertising settings that let...

The regression is that it took 3 years, $80 base game and 2 full $60 expansions to get back to D3.5. A sign that they want to create a good game first is continuing that path on D4. Instead, pay again for a new set of unforced errors. The discussion of value gotten out of a purchase should be...

"weaponized autism" and "parachuting" seem at odds with each other. If the former was true, wouldn't I be much more vociferous and persistent? People are more than welcome to join the PoE thread and discuss the game's flaws. I play a lot of the game but I would say I'm one of the game's...

The cheap burger is being made with rat meat.

My son's been enjoying this in a very casual way and has an upcoming birthday. Would a couple commander decks be a good gift or is something more appropriate? Last I played, commander didn't exist.

Do we get a whole movie on how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are turned into crispy bodies by the door? Yes, it's stuck in your head now, you're welcome.

I posted after you but it was more to the thread in general. This thread is not nearly negative enough. Far too many "lolbrainlessarpg" and "itgotnotshittyeventually" replies.

What did D4 improve over D3 and/or its competition? And why do you have any faith D5 will continue that, even if eventually?

Support mercs are definitely more functional because you need far less to find a good one and your dps isn't shit without one, thus you can more reliably defeat that good merc when you find it. I can't even remember, wtf were they bitching about a couple leagues ago? It feels at odds with the...
