ssd + PoE

I don't own a SSD at the moment but after years PoE load time is just a bitch so will a SSD give a noticeable/significant load different.

Thank you.

In my experience - yes. SSD makes a massive difference. At home - I can login under 2 minutes (most of the time the login screen is shown instantly when launched - and switching areas are just as quick). At work - it takes anything from 3 - 10 minutes for the login screen to show

Login less than 5s, between instances less than 3s.

At work? Can you get me a job there? I gotz skills and degrees and shit.

Yes, it is substantially faster for me, and the delay when opening strongboxes is less noticeable. A lot of the sound related (when audio is loaded from the disk) micro stuttering is also gone. A SSD drive is a really good investment in general, performance-wise.

Never had an issue with instances, just to get to login takes forever; but all loading after that is instant.

I blame the engine, GGKP system.

everytime you need to find files you have to go through a ton of GGKP files that honestly would be faster if they just had a folder with all the files in there; what's the worst that can happen. People can edit it if they want; it's just a crappy compression and works via addresses and such so >decode ggkp >find address file is at >read file >find address > read file

fuck that shit. Separate the 5gig file into at least separate smaller ones like for each piece of armor, then character, then etc, or something else -- but the ggkp system is crap (love you ggg but it's crap)

and honestly a lot of the engine is at the moment "crap" but this is feedback, i applaud them for building their own engine and having things their own way; things take time.

Haha - we don't get to login an play all day XD - usually when we see something good for sale on Poe.Xyz we login an grab said item.

I can't imagine being an even halfway-hardcore gamer and not having an SSD.

Support GGG or SSD? SSD. Your quality of life will improve so much you'll want to support GGG more than you did before.

I've never owned a computer with a mechanical hard drive but I've used them at other ppls houses it's awful. Cant even understand why they still sell them

I use a samsung SSD 850 pro 256GB. Instances load insant. Like when ppl told me use a metronome to time loading areas where corruption was it does not work. Its instant no matter.
