Cutedog video on earning currency for beginners as mandatory watch would discourage playbase
|
One thing you learn from this video is how little all this really matters. The "economy" is a contrivance of the players who play it. This stuff has no value. It's all pretend. You like to think you're "earning" stuff. You're not.
This game doesn't support a "cash out" feature, so when you stop playing this game all that "value" will simply get you squat. |

I seen the video. Nothing wrong. he was telling players how to best gain currency, & not how to best have fun.
You can choose which parts of what he said to follow, & which parts to not follow, if you find them not fun. The sad part, & its not his fault, that the most effecient way to paly is also the most un fun. Repeating same maps over & over again. I thin GGG has lost touch with the avergae gamer, & seems to design PoE for the 1%, the no lifer & pro streamers. Last edited by kiadaw#3194 on Jan 14, 2018, 9:41:43 AM

" I don't agree with you. Some people prefer to play poe in thoughtless mode running one map over and over after hard day while listening music or whatever. In harbinger league i really enjoyed farming shaped spider forest. I had a goal to farm not buy my first HH and i did it. I was not tired of playing one map. You may also say that i wanted to achive a lot of currency but this is also not true. In terms of currency/h vault map was much better choice. If i remember correctly i watched video showing that lucky spider forest run is only a little bit better than regular vault drop. This league im forced to play different maps and im not very motivated to play(i really hate sextant bullshit, never did this before 3.1 and im not interested in doing this now). Running different maps all the time is not very pleasent. I like maybe few maps out of all and most of them are low tiers. For me best update in POE would add ability to shape maps to whatever tier i want wheter we talking about adding or lowering number of tiers. |

Its not totally unfun, for some players have a atlas shaped to have a lot of one map to run it a lot of time is fun, for me have a build with great clear speed with those shatter explosions is the funniest thing in the game so run a lot of times the same map is rly enjoyable, and if u have nuce knowledge about how to craft ur atlas u can have a great time without need run the same map all the time. Sextants can be a problem cuz need a lot of investments to worth and can be make a New player dissapointed with the game if he start thinking he will get a lot of currencies just cuz he block some maps and use 10 sextants to improve 5-6 maps

He points out a lot of good information but also doesn’t mention alot of very important basics that noobs wouldnt know about. He doesnt talk about how he shapped his atlas to only get certain maps to drop, doesnt talk about how his character is geared with biscos, headhunter and a specific build to farm extremely fast. He calls out drops and what they are worth but doesnt explain that he sells literally everything that doesnt help him run his specialized setup of shapped maps. For example he sells all his maps pretty much that arent strand, wastepool channel, etc.
Basically what i mean is there is a lot of good information but its framed terribly for new players. ProbablyGettingNerfed - L100 Occultist
Vinktarded - L100 Pathfinder GoogleDiversityHire - L100 Necromancer 3.13 was the pinnacle of PoE. IVYS+1 Gang 4 Life. |

I watched it and never saw one of his vids before. It really looks like (just from this one vid) that he is a total n00b and doesn't know what he is doing.
Censored.

" He knows what he is doing = making currency. He's a good entertainer, not a particularly impressive PoE player, but he doesn't promote himself in that way either so i see no issue with that. He's perfectly aware that PoE is a game that doesn't require any skill except in racing and an ssf setting. I get a laugh out of some of his vid's so i think he achieves his "streaming goal". Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

I dunno about you, but I heard that there`s this thing called Solo self-found where you actually use the currency, and you don`t care about anybody`s wealth or progression because it doesn`t affect you.
And even better, when you get a really good item or enchant you obviously use it and make a build for it, therefore playing a variety of builds that you never even thought of. Probably more fun than picking all 6s to sell them for jewlers to sell them for fuses to sell them for chaos to sell them for exalts to buy gear so that you get even more 6s even faster :-o I wonder if one day GGG removes all maps on the atlas and only leave shaped vault (and the sextantable maps around it) would anybody notice that all the other 154 maps are gone? As someone mentioned in one of his youtube videos, "the war for the Atlas isn`t between shaper and elder, it`s between casuals and try-hards". Smart fellow Last edited by LaurelWreaths#6882 on Jan 14, 2018, 3:58:37 PM

Cute Dog makes a video explaining how he makes (lots of) currency. Of course, people are going to say "omg, I don't want to do that! NERF NOW."
You don't have to do everything he says, but you can learn from him and do some of the things. People want things handed to them. |

" This you dont have to flip at all. Just sextant block and up shaped a map, pick a fast AOE build like discharger, auto bomber, EK (1-2 min map builds)- load up neversinks uber super duper strict filter, run your shaped strands - channels - vaults or bogs all day and I guarantee you 10 ex a 8hr day. With quant even more. I've done it when I had time. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Jan 14, 2018, 5:29:23 PM
