There are a couple prophecies like that that are balls to the wall rare. There's a good chance that prophecy is almost always used immediately on either sorcerer boots or leather belts, simply because it's a straight up 50/50 to get a super good unique out of it E; now that I think about it, whenever you use an item/prophecy that guarantees a unique item drop, if you were to use it on a leather belt, will headhunter only ever come from a nemesis league map? Like if you use an ancient orb, will it try to roll regardless of what league you're in, or does it have to be done in a nemesis zone even then?

ronya posted:Trash to Treasure is a guaranteed Skyforth unless you're careless enough to roll it in a map with the Warbands mod - hence its rarity. There's no other meaningful use of the prophecy afaik. So there's no reason to spend the coins to seal it for sale - just turn it into Skyforth and sell that. Didn't know the other sorcerer boot was warbands only, good to know

Pollyzoid posted:Anyone know what the price of Rise of the Phoenix has been in previous HC leagues? It's floating between 33c and 40c right now, while it's only 2c on SC. I bought mine yesterday and sold it today for 40c because I figured the price might go down soon. I don't really need it just yet and I want to save some currency. It's usually been a fairly cheap shield in leagues past but because a ton of people are playing rf this league it's price is through the roof

Drunk Badger posted:If those top two are 100c now, I dread seeing what they'll cost at the start of a league. Sounds like my plan is SRS at the start, and golem or spectre later. Golems definitely aren't a season starter unless you're able to snipe the jewels for cheap off of some guy who doesn't know the value of the jewels. Something like srs can run at the start of a league with pretty much just a tabula, which at league start is a *little* pricey but once you get it you can skyrocket your gear just through the sheer value of getting higher ilvl drops from the higher tier maps you're able to do as a result.

George posted:Not only that but the team just spent tons of time and effort on an expansion that made the story bigger and less tedious. The issue is that there are players that view any gameplay that isn't blowing up mobs with your endgame build as tedious and boring; this is why Diablo 3 shits out a gear set at you as fast as it can, to get players up to speed and into the grind since they know that's the only thing they have going for themselves

nerdz posted:Interesting! I'll probably won't trigger that SSF thing because so far I'm not doing it because I just don't feel like doing those things so far. It's possible that in the future I might do some trade if feel invested enough to do it. Already have like 2 chaos orbs, 5 hours in! Dunno if that's a lot or not. It's enough for a few gear pieces once you get to mapping if you play your cards right, but in terms of relative value to most people it's anywhere from a fraction of what some people have in raw currency to a drop in the ocean of money some players swim in

Ffxi in screenshots looks ok but in motion it's literal rear end. Wow also looks like literal rear end but it's because they stretch the same 300x300 texture that looks really good at 300x300 over a 30000x30000 space. Plus the fact that some of the skill and inventory artwork is still poo poo they ripped from Warcraft 3 because "hey, it still works I guess". When it comes to graphics there isn't really a doubt that d3 blows Poe out of the water but I can't help but feel that Poe's issues come from engine limitations. Say what you will about Diablo's current state of gameplay, that game runs like butter and has ran like butter since 1.0, on top of looking very good (as far as dungeon crawler loot em ups go).

Can't you trade with someone just so long as you're in the same area as them and click their name and chat and then trade, or do you have to be partied? I've never actually tried but I assume cage method can't be too hard

You get higher level corpses and a vis mortis, congrats you can now clear all content in the game. Once I get to shaper I'm gonna start testing solar guards with abyss jewels, I need to run the numbers on whether or not flat damage jewels are better than % increased for solar guards. I want to say yes instinctively but I'm not actually sure considering there aren't that many Spectre multipliers on the tree

Ciaphas posted:I guess it's just a little... weird and off putting?... to play a character class that essentially doesn't scale up because it doesn't have to scale up For boss killing, tukohamas vanguards (in act 6 coast) kill bosses like nothing else. Their mapping is "meh" but they melt bosses like they're nothing. As far as scaling the build, past vis mortis I'd look into jewels. Cast speed jewels are pretty nuts for solar guards and most of the scaling of Spectres is just increasing your defenses because you're way more likely to eat poo poo than your Spectres see. Cast speed is probably better for mapping I just want to test flat damage for bossing to see if the few increased minion damage nodes coupled with the crazy flat damage amounts on abyss will out dps cast speed jewels

Please don't sell your biscos, if you chain run maps you'll get more returns out of wearing it than you would from just flat selling it

Eminai posted:You have to grind out about 80 exalts before biscos is worth using over selling. That’s not counting whatever efficiency you lose from not having an amulet equipped. Biscos is almost never worth it unless you’re willing to gamble that you can sell it after you’re done grinding.  Where the gently caress is that "80 exalt" number coming from? I feel like I saw it on Reddit off of some really bad dumb math, but wherever it's from is dumb and bad. Saying biscos is "never worth it" is really god drat dumb and sounds like some poo poo coming from someone who's never used the thing in a reasonable manner. I can tell you personally in legacy league I almost tripled the amount of currency I generated because of the insane quant bonus it gives. Provided you aren't doing something really stupid like running maps with no mobs(strand) or awful layouts (excavation, cells, spider forest to an extent but it's probably worth it with a biscos) you are going to Hoover currency and maps (which you can sell for more currency) like it's nothing. Mr. Despair posted:Lol, you have to run a shitload of maps to make biscos worth it, especially when you could be wearing other mf gear for a fraction of the cost. I feel like the amount of maps you have to run is overstated but yeah, if you're not running a decent number of them you won't see as many immediate returns As far as "wear other mf gear" nothing comes close to biscos. You'd have to wear multiple pieces like windripper, sadimas and ventors(completely ignoring the part where well rolled ventors are also stupid expensive) to come close to the iir biscos gives, and that's not even counting the iiq, which nothing else in the game touches.

Duck and Cover posted:Didn't say that but hahaha your examples League of Legends has always been lovely (rune pages still a thing?) and pubg and Fornite aren't old enough to see the slow deterioration that can come with being purchased. I'm saying it'll possibly happen not that it will definitely happen and that "we won't change" is pretty much meaningless boilerplate. no you didn't say that but you dogwhistled loud enough that it's pretty obvious what you're implying with Duck and Cover posted:Does he mean it? Probably. Does it matter? And also no, rune pages are no longer a thing. Maybe do a google search before making a hand wave statement. PUBG is still young, and Fortnite is just as young, but Tencent has had a 40% stake in Epic since 2013. Unless 5 years of company ownership somehow still isn't long enough for the slow, insipid creep of horrible awful china to ruin a game. In which case, please, point me to the horror stories of Tencent ownership and I'll back off of calling you a retard, even if it's kind of implied every time someone talks to you panda clue posted:as long as ggg keeps putting out celestial mtx, i'm gonna keep giving them money

who the gently caress cares about a swastika on a single tab of the standard stash tab out of like 300 other tabs that no one has probably looked at in years? its like giving a poo poo about someone drawing a swastika in a walmart bathroom stall, who loving cares about what someone put on the wall of some shithole 3 years ago

Map (you must map you will map YOU BETTER MAP) enough to gain x so that you can enter y. Sometimes grind y so you can do z!

Rutibex posted:(PUBG died because Fortenight is more exciting not because of optimization) The fact that pubg was borderline unplayable on 90% of user systems was exactly why pubg died out. If they had prioritized engine optimization early on I have no doubt in my mind they would still be a dominant force in the BR genre, rather than the Smite to Fortnite and Apex's LoL and DotA 2 Rutibex posted:The people in charge of the graphics engine most definitely can be working on more exciting stuff than optimization and bug fixes. The Delirium cloud effects for example, or the new clothing physics engine for POE 2. There are priorities to be had everywhere. A) I highly doubt the people who focus on the graphics engine are physics designers B) If by making your game more "flashy" or "exciting" is coming at an ever increasing price of performance then somebody in the content development management pipeline has bad priorities, and something needs to be done before they finally find the straw that breaks the camel's back

hawowanlawow posted:in what universe has PUBG "died out?" The game at one point had an average online playerbase of 1mil+ for the better part of a year, had well over a year of peak player counts being well above 1mil+ (most of these months were following Fortnite Battle Royale's launch). The game hasn't hard died out but it's player count is dropping at an incredibly consistent rate month by month and has been for 2 years. It's why I think my Smite comparison is apt, because yeah sure it isn't Top Dog of its genre and it still Exists(tm) but it's no longer the titan it was at its launch and is instead going to coast along on it's core playerbase rather than try to make any further splashes into the genre. They know that if the majority of who's left hasn't left by now then they likely never will.
