I've put an insane number of hours into Isaac, second only to poe. I can see some of the influence.

Hey, the first Binding of Isaac was pretty drat good. I dunno if I'd call it perfect though, since there were some broken things about it.

I don’t think Wilson wants to toot the drama horn. It just speaks to his judgement that some dipshit kid barely out of uni demolished an industry veteran, by using good project management, and not letting any ego get to him.

That's clearly a wall of brambles. If you squint it could be a lightning coil.

I -still- don't know how that works and what I need to do. I'm always ending the league with a bunch of white and yellow sextants I never used.

Sextant blocking 101: There are good and bad sextant mods, generally the good ones add more monsters to your map. Maps can only be affected by the same sextant mod once. Say your favorite shaped map, I'll call this the primary map, can be reached by sextants placed on 3 other maps, or secondary maps. You want to minimize the number of sextants you have to spend on those 3 secondary maps to roll good sextant mods for your primary shaped map. So you go out further away on the atlas and look for maps you can put sextants on that will hit those 3 secondary maps but not the primary map. You want those sextant rolls to be the lovely ones. Because maps can only be affected by the same sextant mod once,those lovely rolls will then block the lovely rolls from occurring on your secondary maps. As long as you don't run any maps that are within the range of those lovely sextants on the atlas, they will just sit there forever permanently blocking for your secondary maps to roll good sextant mods easier.

whypick1 posted:Atziri does Storm Call and Flameblast, as well as empowered versions of those. Empowered Storm Call drops a bunch of bright yellow circles that fire after a short delay, empowered Flameblast is two circles rapidly expand and fill up almost the entire arena before popping off. Either one will one shot most characters. Not getting hit in the first place is very important when fighting her (oh, and not touching the mirror clone). Ahh thanks, Empowered Storm Call is what was killing me. Mr. Despair posted:Taking out multistrike makes atziri's split phase a lot more manageable as flicker. I'll give lacerate a try. Flickering is... not helpful when trying to avoid ground effects. I think I did myself a disservice rolling flicker strike as my first real end-game character. Only now am I having to learn to adapt to boss mechanics, where the rest of the game I could just mash flicker and let life leech take care of the rest.

Apparently for extra sperg you can go one more layer out to block bad sextants but it took me a few minutes of staring at the image to understand why I can't really say whether blocking has been all that profitable--might even be a loss given that even apprentice sextants are about 1c--but it sure is fun getting a breach on a double beyond sextanted map

I downloaded this game, and am enjoying it, but I'm getting gigantic lag spikes. I have a 125 mbps connection, and when I ping the server I get ~35ms. I've tried all the options for latency in the game. Anyone else having this issue?

it could also be slow load times, i used to stutter super hard at the beginning of any instance. try using -noasync, it'll make your map load times longer but it'll force it to load assets instead of trying to do asynchronously

I'm probably just going to keep it because it helps my build so much, but If I did want to sell this what ballpark is it in? Not much close but widening the search on poe trade a bit gives me a vague range between 2ex and 22ex. I replaced a diamond ring with ~100 resist to use it, which leaves me a bit undercapped on fire, but I'm more or less ignoring that since I'm using wise oak and dying sun on a pathfinder.

Why the gently caress would it be worth that much. I see it has a lot of life and a WED roll, but what else does it have? The res rolls are low and I would have thought it would have served it better to have either better res rolls or damage rolls instead?

The mana and int, which gives more mana and also is good for stat reqs, are both pretty decent stats in the era of the Mind Over Meta. The resists do suck though, I definitely doubt its worth 20ex but is certainly worth a couple.

I'm bad at item prices, hence the question. The 22ex was a similar one with 84 total resist, and also really stale so probably not that much. My existing rings were 1-2ex and I replaced one with it so that's my lower bound. The int saved me a +30 node and a +int craft on another item and the wed was an upgrade over just crit chance and the life helped. The resists hurt and left me a bit undercapped, but that didn't end up mattering for this build. In the absence of someone telling me lower or higher, I guess I would have put it up for 5ex and adjusted from there.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but I've found with items like that and other slow sellers like well-rolled Ventors the final sale price ultimately depends on your patience Like that ring will probably go for 5ex... eventually. It'll go for 2ex a lot sooner

Rings have always been an important source of resists but I feel like there are plenty of Pathfinders this league so pure life/damage rings have a market, as do rings that only have allres or weird little bits of one res. If that had phys damage it'd be worth a lot more but I'm sure there's a buyer somewhere.

If 96 is half way I'm honestly thrilled. And yeah, I've never been past 94, but I want to try to fully kit out a mirror/legacy/generally best-in-slot dude on standard and so I need a guy at 100 for that project. (Also, if you're done with the league and don't care about standard I'll happily take your stuff - PM ChristopherWilson in game. I'll put your name in the credits on my stream and in the vids I do about it and also will love you forever~)
