Yeah, this is my primary thoughts on SSF crafting.

-Bring back Alterations. This allows rerolling of white>blue bases. instead of filling up inventory with white bases..

-SSF currency trade/vendor recipe. SSF needs to be able to convert one currency into another. you could do this in PoE1 via vendors.

-Essences 10x more common. either, see them every map/zone in campaign, or they litterally drop 10x more shards. Essances are worse in poe2 then 1.. how? they add this deterministic crafting idea, then make them so rare, they might as well not exist.

-Omens. same problem. introduced ritual in act 1. we never see it again till maps. theres 17 kinds of omens. Ritual needs to show up throughout the campaign. Omens need to be a guaranteed favor option. 1-2 per. between 17 kinds, and being consumed by use, they would still always be in demand, and not enough. omens would solve much of the problems.. if they were 10x more common.
(also fix the map generation, and unit collision/stun on spawn issues)

-ability to replace runes.
Best I can do is a stash tab sale

im sure he cares for more then just +skills.
here's a search for wands I would consider upgrades from my ssf wand.
+4 to all skills, and 85% crit is the min. mana, cast speed of any level then welcome.
30+ divines.



Saving whites for crafting is ass. I have like 4 fucking tabs of expert keth/hexers.
AND, that does jack shit for Jewels. Can't just get a white/blue jewel and reroll it. nope. got to actually go farm that shit. trial after trial

No, he said +4 to lightning, not all spell skills, and just % damage. Right now you can get get +4 lightning, % damage, % extra damage, and cast speed for 20-40 ex

Your parentheses I think hits on lot of problems. Take strongboxes, I'm sure the same idiot that thought 1s delay on curses and 1.5s on ignite prolif(but not poison?) meant monsters spawn at inverse warp speed. Slow gameplay is meaningful!

But I'm also willing to bet a significant chunk of these "fun" map layouts simply could not handle spawning a gaggle of monsters all at once just like PoE1. Bad gameplay(why are they spawning in rooms with closed doors?) to crashes. They probably did want to use ritual more but it literally could not fit.

There's been a lot of iterations to abyss, ritual, and betrayal to ensure they work on almost any layout in PoE1. Their hardon for "meaningful" combat via maze-like layouts not letting you blow up screens might have undone a lot of that iterative work.

Just another "perk" of not being spoiled by POE1. Thanks for making me enjoy the game less!

I put off doing my third ascendancy for a while on my minion character, and it was ez mode.

I just put all the random honor resist/max honor relics in the guild stash if anyone is at a choke point with an alt.

Mudflat rhoas in act 1 are still the deadliest mob in the game, followed slightly by those frost casting sea witches in the next zone.

No doubt there's a ton of young gamers. Is there a lot of young gamers that are going to vote?

I guess it's good exposure for peopel that are big on Musk and have kids that are gamers.

Musk trying to buy nerd cred as a billionaire is the cringiest of cringe as if any gamer with a brain doesn't know he's paying some china man to play for him.

Richest man in the world with the self esteem of a teenage girl.

He could just be a casual gamer who plays games he likes and isn't particularly good at them, but his ego won't let him. It's sad. There's tons of Dad gamers out there who'd probably be down with him if he just talked about "HOW SICK ARE THESE GOD OF WAR CUTSCENES!!!!" and shit, but he has to pretend he's the smartest man in the world and try to compete with 18 year olds on a diet of dino nuggets and Prime who spend more hours gaming than he does awake.

My brother, you're being too literal. I meant those are the absolute min that I wanted at the time I made it, but clearly I want high rolls on other beneficial caster stuff. The wands that are ideal upgrades for me are not 20 - 40 ex and by tomorrow I'll be able to equip +5, so we'll see how it goes crafting vs trade. I'll report back on my failures.

Elon 100% bots, cheats, dupes, gets boosted, whatever you can think in games. You don't get to be that rich and play by the rules of everyone else.

I mean it's also perfectly acceptable when you're this rich to spend money to just skip the shit you don't want to do in a game. Want to buy a high lvl char so you don't have to do the leveling? Want to buy some gear so you can test the new Mathil build now that everything is worth 28divines and a half mirror? You have literral billions to throw, why not. Hell when I was young I was into buying and selling mmo accounts, I never leveled a single character in Asheron's Call yet I played one of the higher accounts with the power of money and flipping accounts(asking my mom to drive me to the mall to pick up my thousands of dollars from Western Union cause back then there was no paypal and shit)

The most cringe part isn't even the whole trying to pretend that's all him when clearly it isn't. It's proudly streaming it and thinking no one will catch it. There's some fucking autists who spent hundreds of hours rewatching all the old videos on slow motion to find out if some speedrunner actually cheated because he cleared something 3secs faster than the presumably fastest possible time or they found out by looking at the reflection in a monitor or by looking at the internal files for patterns of attack of the monster. Obviously you playing poorly and having no clue what you're doing or how half the systems you're engaging with work isn't going to fool anyone, especially not PoE turbo nerds.

Anyway this is standard Elon behaviour so no surprise.

So I enjoy minions. I have gotten to realize that doing tier 15 Breaches will have to wait until my minions are more powerful. I also hate the "insta kill me" things when I have pretty good defense. I have learned that towers are best done with tier 1 maps because again I hate doing those with minions. Still enjoying the game enough despite the sudden near full shield to nothing moments.

Damn so I hit 87 and tried the Sekhema trial again.....made it to the boss, but the full last floor I couldn't see the type or the rewards, so I made it there with around 2600 honor and it was the first time I fought him.

Dude has a ton of hps, though overall it seemed pretty easy.....lived through one of his time stop bullshit as I had the +40% movement boon. Then he did some weird bubble spam from a lot of angles and they seemed to do around 300+ honor damage per hit. Got the bastard to around 40%, though. Maybe if I can increase my damage a bit and get back with full honor I can get him.

Kinda wanna kill him before it gets patched so I dont feel like a bitch, just wish it didnt take as long to get through 4 floors :(
