    Good to know, thanks. I was being a bit generic when I said Bitcoin, but I was assuming. Is it known how much demand and supply is related to hashing?

    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...

    Don't suggest that. They'll implement such that when you press the button, it will rearrange the affixessockets in a random order.

    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...

    Spell slinger still mechanically works, it just got buried even further into an already horrible niche. It will likely live on as a utility gem for putting up snipers mark and hydro sphere for builds that don't have anything better to reserve. Spellslinger has to heavily invest into minus mana...

    idk, 150% max move speed feels pretty slow. It's been one of the worst things of 3.15 how slow build that rely on Dash or Flame Dash feel. Perhaps not actually that much slow, but they feel slow. Too much dead space between packs where you don't have an old quicksilver or movement skill.

    The irony is that the trade system is what allows people to nope out of the crafting system. @mkopec I hope no one is under the illusion that anything will actually change. I think we just like bitching. At this point, PoE needs to be iterated upon similarly to EQ -> WoW.

    High APS Leap Slam builds feel faster than Dash and Flame Dash :( I haven't found a build that uses the latter in which movement speed didn't feel like an extreme chokepoint. Note, I'm not saying I want to zoom around the map at obscene speeds. Just that the movement in between packs, dodging...
