10x stacked deck; 10 complete sets of cards. That's going to be a popular item for flipping.
Going to be nice having the ability to get a Varunastra in temp. leagues. I wonder how rare they will be and where the cards will drop.

Stacked Deck is the new currency type GGG hinted at, the entire story of the item is available on Reddit posted by the supporter who made it.
The wording is a bit weird for 10x Div card sets, the colour of the text on the card matches the same of other currency cards.

huh, I must've missed the forum post. Still, a new currency would be interesting at any rate.

poe doesn't use enough memory to make 64bit a priority
people have been begging for more 3d art for years so they employed someone specifically to make them, it has zero bearing on the state of performance improvements

[/QUOTE]
Take it as you please, but also spend one week on poe subreddit, reading all the problems people have.
And if you think 3d art doesn't have an impact on performance, you're wrong.
Even with the 'improved' background loading, if someone joins your map via a portal and you're close by, you will feel it.
It's poor optimization combined with poor assets (textures, etc).
And if that's not a kick in the balls, try running a map with 'burning ground' with or without mtx on. Burning Ground is famous for tanking the fps in PoE, but actually using mtx on your character makes it even worse.
I would be fine with 3D art (and plenty of uniques deserved it, 3d alt alpha's howl = the dream), but since the game engine is crap, adding more shit to the load time is detrimental.
These 'improvements' concur on two gaming rigs I have, and what you experience as 'performance optimized' stuff, might not work for others.

That's almost funny, until you get a memory hog session of PoE.exe that tilts the cpu to 90% and uses 3.9gb of ram, with low settings, while idling in act3 town.
The dream: new engine, 64bit, DX 11/12 by 2020 <-- not gonna happen
My .0002 cents...

Stacked Deck pretty much shits on the Gambler.
Stacked Deck is pretty cool, all cards are weighted equally.
I wonder how rare the card is and where it drops.
jokes on you guys, it's actually basically just another gambler :v:
[QUOTE]Stacked Deck does NOT drop in the world, it is only obtainable from the Lucky Deck divination card.
Stacked Deck does NOT use a flat chance when determining the divination card you get when it is used. It currently uses normal weighting to determine the divination card.[/QUOTE]

but reddit and the PoE forums told me the map system is perfect the way it is!
also multithreading? awesome
Finally got off my lazy ass and finished off 36/40! :joy: After sitting at like 30/40 for two weeks.
Now I can finally quit playing this league. :v:

[url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1707517]Varied Prophecy Statistics[/url]
So, there's one statistic in here I find interesting:
[quote]Percentage of overall player time spent in each league the last week
Standard - 20.54%
Hardcore - 0.73%
Prophecy - 65.63%
Prophecy Hardcore - 13.10%[/quote]
Have they ever released numbers like that before? PoE's in its downtime right now, so when a league is first released I imagine there would be even more in temp leagues but damn, permanent hardcore truly is dead and I thought more than 13% of PoE's playerbase played hardcore leagues.
[url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1708053/]Patch 2.3.3[/url]
So instead of my FPS going to 0 when I shoot a large pack with LA and herald of ice procs, it now goes to 30! Progress :v: Burning ground still reduces my FPS quite a bit but it's far better than without multithreading enabled.

Valyrium is pretty cool, I'd rather sacrifice a ring slot than an amulet slot for most of my LL/CI builds.
Praxis is a pretty nice MoM / leveling ring I guess. You could stack pretty insane amount of damage taken gained as mana by equipping 2 of these with the 6% corruption meaning 28% of damage taken is gained as mana almost negating MoM. It's also nice to have more sources of flat mana regeneration from items.
Damn, that ring looks great.
That sword doesn't though... a crit sword with a 5% crit base :v:
Looks like Skyforth is going to have some competition now.
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;50832679]Looks like Skyforth is going to have some competition now.[/QUOTE]
The ring will compete heavily with Eye of Chayula. Skyforths will still be BIS for many builds, PCoC & Mana reservation is too good.

I tried to build a similar concept

aylardex for total 50% MoM (on 10 p charges), 3x spirited response and mindspiral/praxis/corruptions for 50% mana from damage, and romira's for building charges. void battery is mandatory to get some offence from the power charge stack
you still need a large enough pool of unreserved mana, but you don't have to worry about mana regen (aside from spell costs which is easily covered by rallying cry) to get 50% damage reduction. since mana from damage is applied before you actually take the damage your mana orb can be empty and you will still get the full reduction
with 2x void battery these passives you get 740% increased damage, which seems ok but it's probably better to go the crit route
but overall idk if it's worth it, probably best to just do your suggestion and try to negate a 30% MoM and not sacrifice as much in the build
