    Is there a better way to shop CoF prophecies? Go to the Oasis, socket lenses, refresh, visually filter icons on color and shape, mouse over remaining ones as some share icons(1H sword, 2H sword, melee weapon for example), then decide if the prophecy's requirements are applicable to where you...

    The previous owner must not have used them much. I've got maybe a few mm of clearance on the top of my giant noggin due to how permanently squish those pads are. Please let me know those replacements go, the ear pads are equally squished on mine. Should probably replace both. Oh, somewhat...

    "Annoying" is an understatement. We recently had to teach our IT department the magic of revisioning. We still ended up just taking the important shit away from them.

    It's consistently every echo from start to finish of a play session. I checked memory consumption at some point yesterday, it was around 6GB. I don't recall my system overall usage, I'll check that next time.

    I don't remember having this issue in LE 1.1. Right click to start an echo and the game visually pauses for a few seconds before the loading progress indicator appears. I don't have this problem in the campaign. Feels reminiscent of PoE1 around Betrayal where they just started adding more and...

    Oh no, Mike, Saul, and Gus look older in Better Call Saul, not younger, better scrap the whole fucking thing! What a weak excuse, especially coming from writers and producers that have shown to go above and beyond in the first season.

    I don't disagree that the filter itself is relatively easy to use and can be ~10m with a few caveats. If you play without a build, the loot problem presents itself far before you've settled on even something approaching a build. Mathil talked about this on one of his recent videos, so I won't...

    FTFY I don't know how much I agree with the loot slippery slope postulation. That said, I don't play this type of game for "juicing". I will actively change my playstyle to avoid trading and the economy because fuck that shit. I haven't felt like they give away too much loot. BUT my recent...

    Sentinel league was one of their best. Especially when considering it was made during their borrowing of resources for PoE2. Clumping up mobs in the first part of the Glacier map reminded me a lot of D2 cow area.

    That this hasn't been reposted here probably speaks to the lack of enthusiasm for this event. Seems very weird just how many they are offering at once. I might give Phrecia(but no idols) a try, depending if LE still is entertaining at that point or not. There were a couple builds I wanted to...

    That's the reason it isn't getting more than two seasons? I thought it was the horrendous per episode budget. Just have Andor return to his home planet. It even makes sense in universe.

    Playable is such a relative term. One the stupidest lessons GGG is relearning with PoE2 is ground effects. Anyone remember how horrible OG burning ground's performance was? It seems chilled ground has the same issue in PoE2.

    Is there a skill/build that is comperable to Lunge? I'm playing an Ignite/Fire Sentinel that somewhat reliably hits those cooldown reducing melee attacks on Lunge so that any time I need to use a mobility skill to close to the next target, I have a charge available most times. I've played a...

    Do you miss having to off color that Brass Dome for your caster build? Or forgo early upgrades because you didn't have the currency for socketing and linking? Skill gems in equipment allows for some extra design space for affixes with "Socketed gems supported by". I'm not sure it's...

    Was the feature relatively isolated? It would be more impressive if it could integrate a feature into an existing codebase and files. Even more impressive if the feature required synchronized merge requests to multiple repos.

    It's fun for a week or so then you get to wait for 6 months to a year for 3.26. Or PoE2 to pull its head out of its ass. Fuck, this was supposed to be a good time for ARPGs. I have resolved SO many bugs this last year.

    I agree with Mathil's most recent video. I got to thinking how do you solve some of the problems like knowing what to loot filter before knowing what loot you want. And I realized players put up with a lot of similar clunk in PoE. Why? I think the ceiling of endgame progression is far more...

    PoE1 allows you play at speeds well under that. There are builds that are slow and can tank most hits.

    I would say LE has much more build creativity/complexity than D3. But you definitely get showered with gear. Let's you try out builds much quicker....and get bored quicker. I'm hoping their endgame will have more meat to satisfy that boredom aspect.

    Oh, I misinterpreted your "locked" mode. I thought you were locking the computer(win key + L for example) only to find it rebooted the next day. That's why I suggested Windows Update, it can and will update and reboot your computer even though it's locked. What CPU do you have? Might be when...

    If you're behind the curve such that a critical mass has accumulated and makes it difficult for assholes to justify playing the repricing scheme, but still buying at the "worth my time to leave the map" price point, trade can be ok. The highly visible people bitching about trade are usually not...

    Improving drops will mitigate the issues with trade because people will need to interact with it less. That said, how exactly do they test the trade experience?

    Yes on rituals and ships. Because it's not important in poe1. I've never in all my years of poe1 checked the vendor as part of league start leveling. I know it's possible, the racers do it to hunt for movement speed boots or certain socket colors. But it's just not necessary, what's needed...

    Do you think they will let loot filters apply to merchants? I can't devise a regex that is encompassing yet convenient enough to not make me resent breaking the flow of gaming because I haven't checked the vendor this level. I'd say it logically follows that loot should drop ided so it can get...

    I was responding to jooka's comment about poe2 having better retention than any poe1 league ever. While true, it's not a fair comparison. Modern poe1 has been optimized on both the player side(guides, tools, built up knowledge) and developer side(robust leveling skills, crafting systems). How...

    That's not a fair comparison. I think Xevy posted that his 0.2.0 campaign run took him 31 hours as a quite seasoned PoE1 vet and I'm willing to guess had done the PoE2 campaign multiple times before that 31 hour mark. What's the objective way to normalize retention numbers?
