And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.
Seriously, drop that 1TB HDD and get a SSD for the same price. You don't need 1TB of storage. V:
Unless you really do. But for games only... nah.

Not only your games will run smoothly, but your system load times and programs will also improve a lot.

A friend of mine was thinking about buying SSD, but wasn't sure about that. I told him to do so. He did, and now he doesn't want to even go back to computers without SSDs. V:

i respectfully disagree.

while it was true that, in the past with the un-optimised engine, rips did occur when opening, say, strongboxes in ambush league (or coin-hunting in perandus league), that time has now passed.

i've played on an old laptop with a 5,400 rpm mechanical hard drive up until only recently: load times were tolerable and rips due to hard drive lags within the past few months were extremely rare (if any).

having said that, yeah, if one's budget allows, get a reasonable capacity SSD. else, a modern mechanical hard drive would suffice for PoE for the immediate future.

(fwiw, my new main pc also only uses a mechanical hard drive.)

this isn't my game-playing account; just my forum-posting account :P
Well, well, well.

Well!
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
Good. Would run a lot better with an SSD tho.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
