    Path of Exile

    Vorph answered it better than I would. For rares, I usually just hop on to poe.trade, speaking of which, has anyone made the switch to POE's official trade site? Trade - Path of Exile I'm being petty by saying this, but I HATE POE's choice of fonts (in game and the website) and this might be...

    Install this: GitHub - PoE-TradeMacro/POE-TradeMacro: Price checking script for Path of Exile. Hover over the item in question with your mouse and Hit CTRL-D which shows the current market prices of the uniques. It doesn't work as well for Rares as there is too much variability.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    So good... I never binged watched anything before, but this did it. IMO, this series was better than most of the Marvel movies Disney/Fox put out.

    Guild Wars 2

    So I needed to mix things up after I got my griffon as boredom/burnout started to set in with the daily grind and I never really WvWvW before in the game so I dove in. I don't know...running around following a commander tag zerging things, I'm not sure was the original intent (maybe it was). I...

    Guild Wars 2

    So I started the long slog to get the Griffon mount and wrapped up the 2nd leg (Desert Highlands). So far I think it's really well done in that I think it's a good balance of Group/Solo content and surprisingly not too grindy IMO. I think they nailed it with making it feel like an epic quest...

    Guild Wars 2

    So I recently just finished LW2, HoT and am now working on LW3. I did get a few mounts in PoF and it makes your life a hell of a lot easier so absolutely do that first. Honestly, I could not stand my experience in HoT and I understand the dissatisfaction. On top of a jungle theme not being...

    Guild Wars 2

    So I finally got to playing this game after a several year break (before HoT came out). Holy shit, I have no idea what I'm doing, been doing map completions and having a decent time with it and I started a Ranger this time around. One thing I did do is fumble with my 80 Engineer through the...

    Path of Exile

    So I got all 4 guardians down (1 death each, first time ever) and tried the Shaper, made it to the 2nd phase and a damn vortex opened up right under the protective bubble Zana provides and that was the end of my run. So has anyone actually completed Hall of the Grandmasters? I mean WTF kind of...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, that has sort of been my experience as I seem to be losing $ and not really gaining. Holy crap on the 3K Chaos, I'm maybe 120-150 chaos tops in my build (AW Chieftain) and it has been by far the most I've spent in anything for a character in PoE. I decided to sack up and start to slow...

    Path of Exile

    Sextants: So I started to use them for the first time and not sure if it's just me, but I'm not seeing the returns comparing to what they cost and what I've been getting out of maps (especially sextant blocking). Do people use sextants? Do you block or just apply a sextant (or 2) on a...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    So in my old(er) age, I really am starting to dislike micromanaging things in general and the idea of a solo single character play-through while getting the Wasteland/BG gameplay is pretty much a match made in heaven for me. Has anyone in EA played it solo or am I signing up for nut-punching...

    Path of Exile

    So I mentioned earlier, playing a Facebreaker AW Chieftain: Last night I dropped: * 25C on an Abyssus * 1C on a Great Old One's Ward (shield) * 3 Alch on some Resists Phys/Totem Dam Jewels (I should have probably got Resist/Life in hindsight) At level 73, my DPS jumped from 4Kish to 55K for...

    Path of Exile

    Maybe you can shoot out Ancestral Warchief totems...best of both worlds. Speaking of which, I started a AW Marauder (Facebreaker) still pretty low (level 50ish). I don't have the $$$ for a Tukohama's Fortress, but I had a Skirmish Quiver in the bank. Totally un-optimized, but for now, having...

    Path of Exile

    Couldn't you use Vorici's 5-Link Socket Recipe for 150 fusings? Vorici, Master Assassin 6L is 1,500 fusings, but honestly it might be worth paying that and save your sanity and/or rage quitting (sorta reminds of Black Desert crafting...)

    Path of Exile

    Ugh...honestly, this validated what I'm starting to feel. Now what to play...never even came close to Guardians/Shaper (true end game stuff) so might find a build to hopefully experience this content. At least I have a little currency saved up.

    Path of Exile

    So I'm up to 82 on my Frostbolt Quad-Totem Hierophant. Gear is not even close to optimized, but I got some of the main pieces I need to clear Tier 7-8 maps pretty quickly, but honestly running around like a idiot while your totems are doing the work and some map bosses are a pain in the ass as...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    So I've been on the fence for this and was waiting for a sale exactly like this to bite the bullet. I wish the motion sticks also came with it, but oh well and I shelled out another $85 for those. Here are the games you get as well with the bundle which you redeem in the PS Store in case you...

    Path of Exile

    So I best Kitava last night, not sure what was going on but I died like 5 times...which is 3 more deaths than I had all the way up to him. The Frost Bolt totem build as warned is definitely not an efficient boss killer, but I might have also been slightly under leveled. Anywho, Started to...

    Path of Exile

    This by far is the best guide I've seen and honestly even after going through the video a few times, it is still a lot of information to take in. I still get confused on what is an affix or a suffix. I thought there was a plugin for Chrome or something that you can use with poe.trade, but...

    Path of Exile

    Settled on this. Grand total I spent 3 Chaos (to buy a 2nd Frozen Trail) so far. Never really played a totem build before, it's just disgusting with 4 totems spamming 5 orbs all over the screen. By the way, the Frost Bolt Black Hole MTX is mandatory to play this. I am loving this expansion...

    You can add HoT at checkout. Yesterday they had a separate page/link which bundled both, but the price was the same.

    Path of Exile

    Meh, I play both D3 and PoE. They are IMO different enough now to be comparing apples to oranges. D3 is absolutely shallow and fun for only a week or 2 at the start of every season, but even after all of the PoE optimizations and such over the years, D3 still "feels" better from a game play...

    Have you looked into Google Docs? Something if it's purely for linking this should probably work: GANTT CHART TEMPLATE If you want more functionality, then something like MS Project would be better if you are a MSFT shop.

    Path of Exile

    I played one in the Legacy league. It's pretty fun when you get it up and running watching mobs melt, but it loses it's luster pretty quick. I swapped in other things like SR Glacial Cascade/Firestorm to mix things up a bit.

    Guild Wars 2

    So I downloaded the GW2 base game (don't own HoT) last night. Haven't played since like a month after release. I played an Engineer first time around. Not sure what to roll now.
