    Made this the other day. The fire and cold are only T4 and T5. The all ele res being T1 made it still worth spending the sovereign alloy and catalysts on. You can use any elemental catalysts and they will also raise the all ele res. Going to keep feeding the genesis tree until I can get that T1...

    Update: the stabby stabby rares in breaches will hit you with corrupted blood. Probably worth getting immunity if you plan on running unstable +rares strat. Also look out of for the CB runes in Expeditions, don't want that transferring if you don't have immunity.

    Middle third is 70+ areas, top third is 75+ areas. I just want to be able to turn off the god damn wisps if I want to and turn off rarity if I want to go after high level bases.

    They have to give us the ability to unspec atlas points. I'm sure it will happen at some point.

    Is the plan to be able to put Steam OS on my desktop and be able to remove every shred of MS from my computer?

    That was terrible. Happened on a 9 slot remnant too so it never seemed to stop. Had two runic scorpions with the mana bubble chasing me around while getting buttfucked by a couple rare wasps that kept pushing me back into their bubbles. Had to zone back to my HO 4 times just to refill my mana...

    has anyone encountered the fucking unkillable runic scorpions in grand expeditions? Its not regen, they have a blue health bar, but no amount of damage will do any amount of damage whatsoever. But somehow they are like 50% health and randomly eventually lose a chunk of health or rune or whatever...

    Yep. The Covid pool boom was real for the entire industry. Prices never go back down for anything.

    Let's build some pools!

    Vinyl vs gunite pool is going to be a $10-$20k difference in price I would think. Why did you go with vinyl in 2023? Is this a regional thing?

    Let's build some pools!

    Ya that video was ragebait nonsense lol. $162k quote means there was some pretty big extras included like a structure of some sort (patio/pergola) or an outdoor kitchen. You have to go all the way back to the 90's, maybe early 2000's to find a pool for $25k and even then it would have been a...

    I'm AMD and have played around with every possible setting. What works best for me is DX12, clearing out shader caches, flush DNS, and the occasional hard reset on my router. Usually good for a couple days of running maps. Native resolution, no upscaling (2k). Medium textures.

    My shader cache folder in steamapps was up to 80 GB yesterday lol. Deleted that shit and that cleared uo a lot of the stuttering. They really do need to hunker down and work on performance issues

    You have two blue spiral runes, one in the boots, one in the chest. If those are the same runes, replace one of those with a cheap throwaway rune and see what happens *did you take off the chest piece and the boots still wouldnt equip?

    Actually how important is corrupted blood immunity in POE2? I've had it on some boots, but really need to lose it to fix some resistances and still be able to wear a Ventors. Is it just ultimatum or is it pretty common?

    Just in time to float the Guadalupe and go to Schlitterbahn. Family should enjoy both. Go to Rockin R to rent intertubes, they have shuttles running all day long to bring you back to your car after a day on the river. I can't think of a better introduction to Texas. Buy your groceries at HEB...

    Ya, the cat's out of the bag how to get logbooks to drop. In between getting boofed by that bitch in Ritual I've farmed up a dozen or so grand mirrors.

    Those are expeditions. You have to place the bombs then detonate before they will activate. There are no maps with more than a single rune altar, if there is more than one, its 100% an expedition.

    I put my first grand mirror in the same spot as my Deli maps that I need for atlas points. I have to grind out the last 4 maps at 200% Delirious lol. Did one with a T13, no mods, pretty easy. Dropped 3 raw divines. Going to try a T14 4 mod with a couple tablets, see how that goes.

    Ive been doin g the CuteDoog deli strat on all the shit maps that you have to run to get to POIs. I dont think its an exploit, you miss all the juiced mobs but you do get a few liquids and a deli boss sometimes. Its not raining tons of extra loot. Sometimes you can get buttfucked by it if a deli...

    I did ultimatums for my 4th ascendancy. Once its done you can port back to your hideout real quick and buy the two other pieces for the boss on the currency exchange and port back. Way less time consuming, easier final boss fight.

    Finished up the Ritual quest line, boss fight, and passives. Really well done. Probably keep a couple ritual tablets running now while I go back to the fortress to work on atlas passives.

    Yep. Same thing. I was up at 5am this morning and not a single lag spike until about 8 am. Gradually got worse until 10 am or so and the game becomes damn near unplayable. Clearing shader cache and /flushdns helps a little but its obviously an issue on their side.
