As for the alt-f4 poo poo, the truth lies somewhere in the middleİ. Mashing it at the barest hint of danger is kinda lame, doing it when you think lag or something else weird is happening seems pretty reasonable.

Yeah, I think it is super eyeroll when I'm watching some HC streamer alt+f4 out of the blue and then are like "well there was a 6% chance I could have died there from X". Seems like a horribly unfun way to play the game, and at that point I'm not sure why you're playing HC at all.

It's one thing to use it to avoid certain death from which there is no other escape, but it's another thing entirely to use it as, essentially, a layer of mitigation.

Did somebody call about a Ravager problem?

panda clue posted:

This is false. GGG has said multiple times that pressing alt+f4 immediately sends the server the logout packet before even attempting to close the application. People are either stuck in their old ways from before this change was made (literally years ago), refuse to believe GGG, or are just don't know this is how it works.


They design the game around people having the ability to log out, not under the assumption that people will always do it. They don't, for example, put mechanics in the game where the only solution is 'logout or die'. There is no problem with people never using a logout macro; I personally don't. Hth

Huh, I guess I missed that in the flood of patch notes during the leagues I wasn't playing.

Good to know.

I'm not sure it was ever in a patch note, but it has been clarified by Chris and Jonathan (the lead developer) multiple times on reddit over the years. I'm not surprised that most people don't know about it, because most big streamers still use macros that press the logout button.

According to Chris, alt+f4 is supposed to be the same as logout.

For me personally I don't get a ton of enjoyment out of softcore because since I'm not really trying to push ladder on push 100 so dying only feels like a minor inconvenience so for me the game just feels more about putting in the time than actually playing.

Edit: in terms of logout macros I hate that they're necessary but they really are. Especially when the game is designed around logging out but the micro transactions button is so poorly positioned!

So, today I decided to buy 32 mao kuns and run them all. Posting results!






Spent 3 ex 140c on the maps. Stones used were onslaught/nem/breach for 95% of the maps. About 10 maps towards the end I rememebered sac pieces exist. Used either 1 or 2 on those.

Leaguestones are blue, couple of decent (40c) ones in there. White ones i didnt keep track of. Only picked up the maps i liked. Didnt get any good unique drops or anything so they were all vendored for shards. Didnt pick up a bunch of augs/scraps and probably a handful of whetstones.

All in all, a profitable venture :toot:

e: An unknown amount of chance orbs were used on boots/belts during the runs.

I mean the only thing keeping me playing this game is the challenges for each league. Without a fixed goal I tend to lose interest. Compounded with the fact I play this game while watching shows/movies I'd just die all the time.

if you're rolling your own, ctrl+c with the trade macro will tell you the # of mods

if you're searching, the best way is to literally just put every map mod in poe.trade with count min = 8

I have been thinking today about the 3.0 patch. It seems a lot is going to change. Is there any word on end game changing (uber lab, uber atziri, mapping)? I think I have a grasp on how to get some form of currency early game and would like to start looking at builds to make that happen. Something like a totem build or a BV build. This league has been fun but have been struggling with making my HOWA able to do end game bosses. I can do uber lab, tried uber atziri and got my face stompped. So I probably should not try the 4 bosses then shaper.
