    Client.txt changes and bugs?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:05 PM PDT

    TL;DR: Death screen updated in the future? Would like an answer from GGG.

    Recently I've been looking at the logs because of a project I have in mind and I've noticed some interesting logs regarding player deaths and information about (I assume) the entity that last hit the player and I haven't seen any tool update use it or any post or information about it (GGG doesn't usually make public technical changes i believe but weird nobody noticed, I think). It is by no means designed to be human readable but some parts are very obvious. An example:

    2021/05/18 21:17:21 Player died, killer=Metadata/Monsters/InvisibleFire/InvisibleChaosstorm_@83 (0x1e6cea64090), killer var=Metadata/Monsters/InvisibleFire/InvisibleChaosstorm_@83 (0x1e6cea64090), killer deleted=false, killer destructing=false

    Note: There are some numbers between the date and the word Player that I removed from every line, just in case they mean something. I removed the date apparently too, you can check your logs if you want.

    This line in particular refers to Sirus' Storm (deduced since the last entered zone was the "Eye of the Storm") we can see some data about the storm but not much, here is a pastebin with all my LOGGED (more about this later) deaths: https://pastebin.com/kaE1ND0y

    The most interesting fact IMO is that is was introduced this league, I made a little script (https://pastebin.com/3pqpgwwQ on C++) that reads the file and outputs another file with only the lines with the characters "Player died, ", that is how the pastebin with logs was generated, and the first line in the output is from 2021/04/22 16:38:02.

    A weird thing about this is that not every death is logged like this, tried to test what outputs I would get by dying in different ways but got no logs.

    Fun note: a line with "Setting player killer var... or are we?" is logged just before every line i'm talking about. Doesnt appear when I die and it doesn't log it.

    Another thing I noticed while playing with Client.txt is that some messages aren't getting logged. Searched for info about this and saw a post about Korea laws but that doesn't make sense in this case because the "Hi, I would like to buy..." message wasn't logged and the "ty" message was. In case someone is wondering how I noticed this: I made a discord bot that has an event that is triggered by a change in the Client.txt file and if it's a chat message (there are a lot of debug and instance messages) the bot PMs me the message to my discord account so I get a notification on my phone (brilliant, I know) and didn't get the notification then checked log file and nothing, maybe my bot interferees with the log mechanism but I doubt that.

    To wrap up I wanted to say maybe something was said about this and I missed, if so please send it to me and I'm sorry for the long, badly structured pile of non-sense this post is but I'm just terrible at this. Also didn't know what flair so fluff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also I was thinking maybe the community (if GGG doesn't say anything) could make a huge investigation about the names each source of damage registered and the tags and compile it in a database to then make a tool than whenever something logged is detected it tells us what killed us. This could be a huge QoL improvement IMO to know what killed you when it isn't obvious.

    Stygian Puncture Used on melee isn't what I'd hoped for ):

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:40 PM PDT

    Has anyone else tried it on melee? I went ahead and bought it in hopes of the melee puncture being more different as well, but it only applies the blue flame type MTX to enemies hit by the puncture strike. There are also these god awful looking green projectiles that come from the enemy struck by the puncture every now and then. Is this part of the melee version mechanic? If so then this has to be changed. If the projectiles in the bow version are blue, then so should the melee projectiles be as well. I don't think it is any of my own items causing this green projectile thing. I was looking forward to using this blue flame puncture type of shiz on a divergent puncture on a melee build and all, but I guess not :(

    I dare say I feel a bit bamboozled. I'd say it is questionable to leave the melee version so underwhelming and completely out of the video. Suppose there was a reason it wasn't shown though. I don't know, the whole ordeal has got me feeling kind of blue at the moment, but such is life I guess ):

    It would be awesome if GGG added a regular or premium stash tab as a league reward once or twice per year instead of a helmet or pet every league

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 02:34 PM PDT

    I realize they likely won't as pressuring players to buy stash tabs is their business model but still.. it would be nice, ESPECIALLY since they will keep adding more and more drops forever.

    Video Guide to Damage Scaling and Layering

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 03:53 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I put together a presentation about damage scaling in Path of Exile, after much positive feedback on my guide to damage scaling that I somewhat recently updated. Like the other one, it's pretty long, but well worth it if you need a one stop shop to get all the basics of scaling defenses down. This is basically for anyone who wants additional knowledge to help them make builds from the ground up, or tweak builds from guides to be more to their liking. Thanks in advance for any feedback, view, whatever. I hope it helps some people who are suffering from information overload trying to parse what to take in and learn.

    My first post was removed because I didn't give crafting steps, sorry first time I ever posted an item on here lol. Essence of Rage + Veiled Chaos + Harvest Life crafted. Best base I could find.

    Looking for a laptop

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 05:36 PM PDT

    I predominantly play PoE and want a laptop that can reasonably run it. I know I'm better off with a desktop but need a laptop for work preferably something that doesn't scream gaming. Appreciate any suggestions budget is about $2000 us.

    Comprehensive JoyToKey Xbox controller profile TOS safe

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 08:39 AM PDT

    Spent some time setting up JoyToKey profile for POE. I must say that it works quite well so far, thought I would share it.

    https://tinyurl.com/3uhbj8c9

    This works quite good with skills that don't need precise aiming (like vortex etc). I managed to get 6 skills (7 if you consider Vortex, detonate mines or other left click skills) and all of the keyboard functionality.

    See this video for basic functionality explanation. https://youtu.be/-cyNZGyb9fQ

    I posted description of key assignment within the profile itself.

    Extra stash tabs and remove only tabs

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 08:16 PM PDT

    This is only a problem for standard really so most people will downvote or shit talk because of that. I discovered some time ago that when buying new tabs if you have remove only tabs you don't actually get a new tab. A random remove only tab is simply converted into a normal tab.

    I find this very frustrating. After many leagues I have hundreds of remove only tabs. I usually only play every other league as the atlas grind at the start gets tedious to me. And recently I've been just progressing my std ssf chars (which has been a lot of fun) but I'm now running out of space and want to buy more tabs but can't because it won't really get a new tab.....

    Best use for this T4 Harvest seed?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 06:54 PM PDT

    "Allows you to give an item a Synthesised implicit modifier when Harvested"

    Just got it, should I just save it for a well crafted item without an implicit or is there a better use for it?

    Noob need a helping hand in ssf

    Posted: 18 Jun 2021 06:26 PM PDT

    Noob need a helping hand in ssf

    So i started SSF and found this chest, looks so clean to me i want to do something with it but i'm having trouble of thinking what to do, i'm rusty as hell, last league i played was Harvest on my trusty ol' RF for the whole league because finaly i could not only have but craft all the god tier gear i could only dream about, before that maybe Harbinger or Bestiary, i played both start to finish but can't remember exactly which one was the latest before Harvest...

    ANYWAY, what could i do with this chest? I thought about raise zombie with impale and brutality but not sure on the mechanics of impale and afaik that zombie jewel with the slam cooldown don't drop anymore so not sure if zombies are worth it.

    Don't even need to be minions, what 5l build could use this colours that don't require much to get going? Really don't want to change the colours, not only i'm out of chromatics, harvest is being pretty elusive and the chest already looks cute as hell as is i only had to quality it

    other than the quality, i found it like this have an open suffix for res

    Apologies for the wall of text, from all the words to describe me, concise would not be on the list
