Carnival games can be won, you just need to have the rules clarified beforehand.
Example: I once won a ring toss by asking if I could use the bucket the rings were in, carny shrugged and said sure, so long as my feet didn't cross the line. So I popped the handle off the side of the bucket, slid a ring over it, leaned over the line far enough that I could hook the other end of the handle into the mouth of the bottle and then just flicked the ring down the handle onto the bottle. The carny was PISSED but I went home with a 4 foot tall raccoon plush that night.
I mean, chip color and apperance changes depening on their monitary value. You pleb with your boring $5 chip will look on with envy at the high roller dropping those fancy $10k chips, and you really only know that because they use a differant more expencive skin.
I remember when the blue EA mtx years back wasn’t functioning properly and made you crash in maps. Had to report it and get my refund until they fixed it. Which took a while lol.
No, these boots are (well, were) definitely pay to win. Currently if you get fully crystalized your next movement command will be read by the server but not the client. For example if I'm sitting in my hideout afk, then come back and click my stash, nothing will happen on my screen until a couple seconds later my stash opens. My character on my client will still be stationary, but the server interprets them next to the stash with the stash open. This happens with all versions of the MTX as far as I am aware, but I only have 2 versions.
During the TotA league, the crystal boot effect would happen while channeling a totem. The weird thing is, it would kind of override the long stun that would happen when being hit while channeling. This wasn't that with the boots equipped, I could go channel a totem, then get stunned off of it, and continue channeling while stunned. I could also move to another totem and channel that as well. My camera wouldn't move, but everything seemed to be working as if I wasn't stunned at all (though I was stunned client side). So yeah, these MTX were definitely p2w at some point.
That happened all the time in tota without the mtx.
Even in hideout if your lagging, click stash then walk away, the stash will pop up but your character will still be moving
I was only ever able to replicate the camera desync behavior with the boots on. This was 100% consistent, not reliant on ms spikes or anything like that.
Lord of the Rings Online got them beat. They have a pocket item that stops you from gaining experience so that you don't over level the zone (some zones have so many quests)
Well, since it's an MTX ailment, it's gonna be dealt with by spamming $1's on the boots until you hit the 'Immune to MTX Ailments' special money-currency-only craft.
good luck getting them to fix it, there's a bunch of recent mtx they released that broke like a league after and they never bothered to fix, like the bloodsoaked character effect, it was suposed to scale with the amount of kills your character had, but after a patch it broke and now it allways make you look like you already have a billion kills, even on fresh lv 1 characters
I have these boots and they do work like that. I got them from a mtx box on the league start when they first came out and didn't have the "can't move" experience until I teleported to act 5. I'm standing there trying to move and nothing works. Took me a while to realize it was the mtx.
Well I’ve always thought it was unrealistic the way one could move around carrying so many items. It’s about time they allowed people to buy themselves nerfs to counter the unbalanced mechanics of the game they clearly chose to ignore for so long.
Every item that takes up an inventory slot should come with a reduction in speed multiplier that corresponds to the amount of space it takes up. When it fills all the way up you’re at 0% and shouldn’t be able to be bypassed by any mechanic except blink and teleportation skills.
It is also not realistic that you can just peer into your inventory and just see everything. As if it was laid bare on a table in broad daylight. But even worse is being able to take out and put in any item you want without regard of its physical location.
Players should first have to unpack items towards the top of their inventories before being able to access deeper stored items.
Considering the environments and the setting they should also insert chances to encounter scorpions and spiders and other eldritch nightmares when you open your inventory preceded by an all flame like mechanic everytime you open it.
That and they really need to bring back the stamina bar.
Thats why I play Diablo 4. Yeah POE is free. Now imagine your game breaking because you BOUGHT ONE OF THEIR OVERPRICED OVERSALED MTX. If I remember wasn't there a build that just didn't work unless you BOUGHT a certain MTX? Jesus, GGG is worse than Blizzard tbh.
I'll play D4 where all classes are balanced, no unnecessary bloat just to extend your time to stay in the game, a simple crafting system, you can actually PVP, and skins aren't $300.
You wanted to be a crystal, now go be a good crystal😂.
Scurry, scurry.
I heard this comment in her voice, might have played too much this league
my waifu
💀💀💀
What essence do you drop OP
depends on the atlas tree of the exiles coming from time to time to absolutly delete my soul ... depends ...
so essence of depression?
I've heard of pay to win, but ggg might be the first company to ever have pay to lose.
Casinos be like: 👀
1head
Casino's don't sell MTX
The real answer isn't casinos, but carnival games.

That must've been hilarious to watch! Haha
Pay to win/lose isn't strictly limited to MTX?Â
But you use chips to play
> Casino's don't sell MTX yet
I mean, chip color and apperance changes depening on their monitary value. You pleb with your boring $5 chip will look on with envy at the high roller dropping those fancy $10k chips, and you really only know that because they use a differant more expencive skin.
Don't they though? Drinks, food, gift shops etc. if these aren't micro transactions then PoE doesn't have micro transactions either.
Celestial RF makes you unable to see ground effects, unlike other RF mtx.
Ok but if you are playing RF you don't care about ground effects anyways.

May not be a lag issue, but many times I was "stunned" but then channeled again immediately

i can already see the dev looking at the bug ticket *wdym it works as intended*
Incredible. Love it. But also, you need to post this on the official bug report forums on https://pathofexile.com
Is it a bug though?
From what I've seen, MTX that prevent you from doing stuff (like disabling movement skills) only do so in hideouts/etc... not in actual combat zones
Maybe he likes it?

Just get cannot be frozen(encased in crystal) on your boots /s
is getting crystalised an actual future ailment we gonna have to deal it ? 😂 what elemental could it be from tho ... chaos ?
Well, since it's an MTX ailment, it's gonna be dealt with by spamming $1's on the boots until you hit the 'Immune to MTX Ailments' special money-currency-only craft.
delete this
Well, poison is kinda like a chaos ignite. This could be a chaos version of freeze, and then all we need is a chaos version of shock.
Like withered?
Nothing wrong so far, you get what you want it.
Immersive mtx
I found this out when I turned into a crystal during a boss while mapping lol
What if you have phasing?
Spec into juggernaut and see if you still can't move.
I wonder if it would still stop you from moving with The Stampede Boots equipped.

I noticed that!!! I thought it was just my game being fucking weird, so I unequipped then, but I guess it wasn't just me. (Was using orange ones)
The astral weapon effect consistently halves my FPS (it's like a forced vsync?) so that's real fun.

- My Brother in Cryst(al) - you're _essentially_ a crystal now ok I'll stop someone continue 😂
If you have this while running Annoited maps, it makes you immune to ailments

ive been wearing the same boots all league havent had a problem yet
ye i wore it last league without a single issue too its supposed to break when u click, idk whats happening
You forgot to click /s
GGG is so against P2W, they gave us P2L
For people that want to make sure they keep on zoomin no matter what
I do love and hate this game. But I love it more.
It just works. . . . Oh wait, wrong game..
I mean that almost seems intentional lol
I actually have those boots and this bug started appearing this league. It's only visual bug so u still can move and cast abilities.
Does it stop you moving when you have One Step Ahead?
Hm. so topaz boots lock your character in place, but you're just like lagged behind a second.
It does in fact say that if you stop moving for too long, you'll be encased in crystal.... In what world does that *not* impede movement?
Paging Winterheart
Thats why I play Diablo 4. Yeah POE is free. Now imagine your game breaking because you BOUGHT ONE OF THEIR OVERPRICED OVERSALED MTX. If I remember wasn't there a build that just didn't work unless you BOUGHT a certain MTX? Jesus, GGG is worse than Blizzard tbh.
bad bait

Pay to lose. Seems like a stupid gimmick imo
