    I am talking about Xexx. Were I a three dimensional solid of alcohol, I might make a joke about Mist trying to make everything about himself, but alas, I am not that. Trying to get by on a 1060TI makes me wonder if instead of trying to buy from latest generation, just buy whatever costs $XXX...

    Give me 1s CD, 3-charge Dash back though. That shit was worth 159 dex on a build that needed 50. I don't know why GGG is ok with their wide array of movement skills boiling down to "least gay". Just like mana, the pieces you're given to solve the "puzzle" all suck.

    Gotta know when you can and can't using the skill before actually pressing it. Shield Charge has significantly more places where it can get stuck than Whirling Blades. Or, at least, that's my memory of the skills and I've tried both this league. Whirling Blades is unusable in vaal maps...

    Unless they revert some changes, probably not going to play any builds that rely on Dash or Flame Dash outside of a starter. Attack-based movement skills are much faster and on demand, they easily make up for superior clear speed skills like Exsanguinate because they can go pack to pack faster...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I'm sure there's more, but Ferrell is the high profile example. You can condemn his sexism while appreciating his contribution to the series overall, they aren't mutually exclusive. The point of my original post is that the over the top reactionists would throw out his accomplishments. You can...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Perhaps an aspect yet unmentioned: music. There's a lot of music I discovered and still listen to this because of the Matrix Trilogy and even just their trailers. For example, Overseer - Supermoves was in the Matrix Reloaded trailer(but not the movie?!?!) and more famously remixed for the...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    If they can recapture what made the first one special, I'm not sure I care how much blatant recycling and reusing they do. That said, The Matrix being special is likely specific to its release date.

    You need to hit the Hydrosphere without hitting the boss as ancestral call won't target Hydrosphere. Seems like a huge pain in the ass. With default area, 3/8 balls hit a 2-size boss, so idk if it's worth it. This looks interesting, at least conceptually. I wonder if giant-sized rage...

    You were self-casting Desecrate and VD? At least Bladefall can be scaled to kill white trash. Desecrate is essentially a do nothing that gets you killed for quite a few leagues now. There's a reason Hexblast was DoA. Was VD actually nerfed, aside from the helm enchant? Kitava's Thirst can...

    No, you want them meta because after being nerfed into the ground, GGG will be forced to deal with their horrid design issue: unmodifiable totem setup time. Delayed killing time in modern poe usually ensures a skill is second class and sees low adoption. Traps and FR totems are just powering...

    I know it's answered in the series, that's the point. I wonder if the TV series will be faithful in this aspect. Pointing out potential logical inconsistencies isn't really virtue signalling.

    Correct. Or, they abandon this engagement model and let players play the game without a reliance on trade. Obviously this is all hypothetical, this will never happen. But I do believe we'll be seeing negative side effects from reliance on trade sooner and sooner in leagues unless they really...

    It's not a problem. I have no issue with NPC trader in your hideout. Though I can't speak to its long term ramifications on the economy. But in terms of fixing "players not playing" effecting the economy, I don't think it helps much.

    That works initially, but eventually the NPC runs out of items because the player isn't playing anymore or they're mispriced for current economic levels.

    Perhaps inflated wasn't the right word. Prices are not what we are used to and it feels wrong to pay that price because of, in part, bitcoin. Even if that's not going away, still a hard pill to swallow.

    The thing I don't get is even if I played only 1-2 weeks, I'd gladly pay "box price" every 3 months. Content wise, they are delivering at a ridiculous pace and they could easily make bank(have made bank) on casual people buying MTX because they were entertained "just" for a couple weeks. The...

    What they did to the dot clusters makes no sense. There are small passives on the base tree that have as much dot multi as cluster notables. Even if dot builds needed a nerf(doubtful), that's just plain inconsistent within your own system. I haven't seen a build that should be using dot multi...

    Ask the players that dropped bfa and came back for shadowlands how well that worked out. Now, obviously that's a poor analogy, I don't think GGG is mismanaging nearly as badly as Blizzard. But the point is that those players would have saved themselves a lot of angst had they just stopped...

    The early part of iterating on a build is still quite fun, nothing has changed there. The point where a build dies because it runs into the "not worth more investment" brick wall has been noticeably shortened. And by "not worth more investment", I mean interacting with trade. 4R1B1G Skin of...

    A case study in form over function. Got a fully linked socket in the lower right, the link will cover up the tick mark, making it almost impossible to tell if the socket is white or blue. I really hope no one spent more than 5 minutes on this.

    We're a collection of people that grew up having to scrounge money to cobble together our first system. Having to pay 2-3 times the price because a bunch of faggots want to hash some numbers makes us want to wait until the price returns to normal(probably won't).

    You would need one inventory of loot, absolute max, per map in order for loot off the ground to be come worth IDing and inspecting. I suspect, even if only subconsciously, this is where the desire for "hardmode" came from. It's far easier to make dropped items more valuable by limiting how...
