hi there.. any fellow lyn members playing on standard? need some kaki to run maps and masters.. i usually play around 7pm onwards..

add me ign: hummslife

anyone still experiencing high latency should change the free unifi router to a better one.. after i change it to a better router.. my latency is about 15 - 30 only.. unifi standard free router sucks

are you compulsorily required to send feedback to them if chosen to play in closed beta?

what router are you currently using? if it's the standard free routers, suggest you changing it to higher end one.

yeah i used to encounter that as well. but ever since i've changed to better router, i can play at 15 - 30 latency at night as well.

even now when i stream media / HD movie content from my NAS via wifi also no more stuttering / buffering.. damn smooth.. the main culprit is the stupid free router

go change it!

I'm using asus RT-N14UHP

ooh cool.. can't wait for that!

i have never played an actionRPG for so long in my entire gaming life.. lol i've been playing poe since november 2013, even my wife said she never see me playing the same game for so long..

and i finally 6-linked a bloody random 6 socket armour with only a single fuse few days ago.. after like almost 2 years of playing

yeah man single fuse! was practicing the usual try-your-luck-one-fuse for the random 6 socket armour / weapon drops.. wish i 6 link my other unique armour!! haha but it was a moment i won't forget

just play on the international version (on Sg server).. better & larger community..

i'm playing witch magma orb & flame totem..

good for you! i've been dropping so-so drops only.. now on cruel, without even a 5-link

most of the unique weapons have their own 3d art & effects, and you can also purchase loads of weapon skins with different effects, or you can also purchase skin transfers (consumable) to transfer the weapon skins you like onto another weapon you're using..

i'm on sg gateway.. mostly play at 6.30pm or 9pm onwards after work.. surprisingly the poe community on lowyat is quite small compared to other online games..

yeah, i've been playing since launching of awakening, i only reached level 53 yesterday @ cruel a3, just managed to get about 2 - 3 hours of play daily lol and my wife already complaining.. my ign hummsWAR

imagine those two fellas who won the alienware 17 gaming laptop for being first to kill final boss in act4 merc.. crazy ppl.. i've watched the streams of how racers play.. no way to play at their level..

poe should be more popular here, it's a very challenging game with in depth mechanics.. i nearly gave up on this game the first time i played in 2013 due to the difficulty lol

yea i do watch racers play.. and joined a few races myself, the best total points i get per race league is about 50 ++ only.. i have kids, wife, family and work.. so can imagine how i need to squeeze time to race lol.. race halfway need to take care of kids haha

you guys should play on new leagues.. new economy and new stuffs.. just did the 1-month flashback league.damn fun and interesting. able to complete 15 challenges and get the seraph armour except for the helmet.. didn't bother to continue the other 5 challenges.. well at least you'll b able to win free stuffs!

i'm also casual player, with 3 kids, works 8.30am - 5.30pm.. still able to play in those challenge leagues and short term leages.. hehe & more rewarding and prices not inflated like on standard where people already hoarded so much currency, the prices all go haywire..

all my 6links and high end items and currency unused on standard or once the temp leagues end..

well, there are many ways / strategies to get affordable 6links..

like what i've shared much earlier in the posts above, every 6socket items that drop, use a fuse on it, you may do a one-hit-wonder and 6link it with that fuse. if it doesn't, you may have a chance at 5link it, or u can vendor them for 7 sockets, that will gain you back 3 sockets after deducting the cost of that 1 unsuccessful fuse. and yes i've actually did a 1-fuse and 6link my body armour lol

another strategy is strongboxes. roll the strongboxes to get the mod of "with additional socket" and then corrupt it with vaal gem. there's a chance you will get a 6link item but it will be corrupted, hence can't change socket colour and all mods are fixed, or you can get very weird colours and mods combination for different base items. you don't like it, you can vendor it for a divine orb. it'll be better if you can get "mirrored" and "with additional socket" and then corrupt that strongbox and you may get 2x 6link items (mirrored). that's how players farm for divine or jewellers orbs.

another is roll the strongboxes to have the "unity" mod which is all socket items are fully linked. do that if you have loads of alterations and any 6socket items that drop will be fully linked.

the longest method is roll sockets until 6 sockets, then fuse it. if hit 6link congrats.. if hit 5 link.. sell it for exalts, and buy the item again, roll for 6 sockets again and try fusing it again. repeat this over and over until you hit 6link. eventually you'll hit it..

or you straight farm for currency! i started playing since 2013.. i have like 40 exalts and a few 6 links etc (no where near those rich guys), bought, traded, farm and rolled myself.. i got bored of this, so now i only play temp and challenge leagues. more fun with new mods, or combination of mods and can try new items, strategies and way of playing.

oops been a long time since i last played a bow build.. edited info. harbinger bow is for physical damage.. best crit bow will be windripper, but it's expensive..

anyways, you would have hit 5 link in those 200 fuses? if you hit 5 link, you should stop trying and try to sell it. and work on your next one..
