Your Quick Manual On PoE Trade Currency

PoE or the Path of Exile is an action game created by hardcore gamers and is currently played on a tremendous level. Its amazing graphics and the role-playing module are what keep the players hooked with this game. The cherry on this cake is that it can be played for free. Every fervent player wants to master this game to seek to ace the skill of poe trade currency.

What is the trading of PoE currency?

The makers of PoE have inserted this remarkable feature, which is unique from other games. From the term ‘trade’ itself, it can be assumed that trading or exchanging something with currency from other players in the game. For illustration, if a player has extra shields but needs more swords, he would trade his shields for currency and exchange the currency for his desirable swords. Chaos orbs and Exalted orbs are the first major hits of the poe trade currency.

Pricing and selling of the items

The way the currency market keeps fluctuating, it is the same here as well. The price of the items in the game keeps going up and down. The regulating factors of the price are demand, supply, popularity, and updates. The dealing of preferred items is done over the trading chats, trading forums, and other Premium Stash Tabs.

Can you play without trading currency?

The designers of the game never intended to put restrictions on the players. Hence, they never made trading currency a compulsory feature. The trading option was inserted to give an oomph factor to the game. Rather there is an SSF or Solo Self Found league where the currency option is disabled, which has a separate leaderboard of its own.

To avail the best experience of the SSF league, it is recommended to focus on the build that doesn’t need many unique items. It is so because for gaining unique items, you will have to indulge yourself in trading currency. There are countless fascinating items through which you can have strong builds without trading.

How can you make the currency?

There are ample ways of making currency. The one-liner answer to the question would be that the more time you spend on the game, the more currency you can gain. Some common and basic actions that help to earn currency are:-

  • Across movements
  • Monster killings
  • Grabbing loot
  • Porting towards the map
  • Porting back from the map
  • Moving items in the stash
  • Trading with vendors
  • Trading with players
  • And many other simplest of the actions

The crux is that how well and much you manage your actions in the game will decide how much currency you will pocket throughout the game.

How can you increase map value?

The more map value you will have, the more currency value you will gain. Hence, players look for methods of increasing their map value. Some of the quick tips can be:-

  • Use prophecy to multiply the monsters.
  • Spend sextants to multiply the monsters.
  • Win master missions to multiply the monsters.
  • Use movement skills and increase their speed.
  • Increase AOE and focus on single target damage.
  • Reduce both the number of teleports to make a hideout and the time spent therein.
  • Reduce time wastage on interacting with the objects and on backtracking.

  • Reduce your time duration on grabbing the loot items by increasing speedy movements.
  • Design maps to increase the size of the pack or to enhance the quality/quantity of the items.
  • Use vendor recipes like collect rare items for chaos orb etc.

If a game has unique features, it surely enhances the gaming experience. You can try trading once and then decide if you wish to continue trading or continue playing in the basic SSF mode without trading.

Favorite Kid-Friendly Video Game Villains

With the release of Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph,” video-game bad guys have become popular. My wife, son, and I play mostly cool unblocked games, but many of them have their fair share of tough villains. As each hero sets out on an adventure, the villain does all he can to carry out his own evil plans. Here are our five top-choice villains from favorite past and recent games.

Pac-Man ghosts

Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde do all they can to stop Pac-Man from enjoying his meal. These ghosts became world-famous in the 1980s when Pac-Man hit the arcades. They appear to wander aimlessly around the maze, but they have a plan to catch and chomp the hero. Blinky and Pinky attack aggressively, Inky stays back and is easier to avoid, but Clyde defends the last remaining dots and sneaks up on Pac-Man. After nearly 30 years, we still have trouble avoiding the ghosts, but we have fun trying.

Original Donkey Kong

Mario first made his debut in the 1980s original hit arcade game Donkey Kong. His name then was Jumpman, and his mission was to save Princess Pauline. Donkey Kong kidnaps the princess and hides her on top of the scaffolding of unfinished buildings. He throws barrels and fireballs at Jumpman. Just as Jumpman reaches the top to save the princess, Donkey Kong grabs her and takes her away to another hiding place. This then-seemingly single arcade game eventually turned into the Super Mario series with multitudes of games that my wife, son, and I still love today.

Super Mario World’s Bowser

When Jumpman became Mario and entered into Super Mario World later in the 80s, Bowser came onto the bad guy scene. He kidnaps Princess Peach and makes Mario and Luigi rescue her. Bowser sends his many minions to stop the Mario Brothers. Mario and Luigi must defeat Bowser in the final stages of the game to rescue the princess. This premise has followed every Super Mario game from the 1980s original to the latest version on the Wii U. Bowser also manages to dampen every Mario Party game by causing chaos wherever the characters play. He is the quintessential foe for Mario fans.

Sonic the Hedgehog’s Eggman

The Sonic the Hedgehog Series debuted in 1991. Sonic and Tails must stop the evil Eggman from taking over the planet Mobius. Sonic must defeat him by traveling across Mobius and launching into space to fight Eggman on his Death Ball. Once there, he must defeat Eggman and destroy the Death Ball. Sonic gathers rings to give him extra strength, but Eggman sends his many robotic minions to steal them away and stop Sonic from thwarting his plans. Many crazy and exciting adventures await Sonic through his many years of adventures. From 1991 to 2012, Sonic has some of the most exciting adventures ever.

Aladdin’s Jafar

The Aladdin game, based on the Disney movie, came out in 1993. Aladdin travels through Agrabah in the quest to win Princess Jasmine’s heart. The Sultan’s adviser, Jafar, has plans of his own to marry the princess and become the new Sultan. Jafar sends out his henchmen to stop Aladdin. We see Jafar late in the game after he has gained his sorcerer’s powers. He shoots lightning bolts at Aladdin and calls in flying pots in an attempt to kill the prince-to-be. After Aladdin escapes from Jafar’s attacks, Jafar morphs into a giant serpent for the final battle. He spits poisoned eggs and strikes at Aladdin.

My wife and I took three years (1993-1996) to make it through the entire game, but our son did it in one summer in 2006 at six years old. We began playing it again in 2012 and find it just as challenging after the long layoff as we originally did

The games center on the heroes, but without the villains, we would have no reason to play.

Simple Bowling Lessons

“Okay, Choc, I don’t have a lot of time for all the details; I just want to go out with my friends every once in a while and bowl fairly well – just enough to beat them every time that we do. I also don’t want to buy any equipment because the balls at the center and the rented shoes are just fine for the amount of times we go. We usually get together about three or four times a year to bowl.” Thanks for any help, ‘Wanna Beat My Buddies.’

Well, WBMB, I can’t promise that you’ll be able to beat them every time you go bowling but, I can give you some simple tips and suggestions for improving your game. That way, you’ll at least win most of the time. That is, until they read this article, start practicing, or get more serious about their bowling. From experience, I can tell you that there is no one who can promise you that you’re going to win all the time. Even if you are a 15 year old up against a 2 year old, I would still be hesitant to make that promise – just kidding!

Sometimes it becomes difficult to make people understand because maturity does not come with age as today you can find a 30 year old talk and behave immaturely and also a 15 year old become mature and responsible at that tender age and bowling requires you to understand the techniques in detail that you can through About Bowling Balls website.

Anyway, without knowing much about your overall style, I’ll take on this task from a “blind” point-of-view and give you some general pointers that should help you in your quest to be the best in your circle of friends. I make three assumptions: (a) you have already selected your bowling ball and it fits properly and is a good weight for you, (b) you know how to walk on the approach to deliver your ball on the lane, and (c) you know that you should stay behind the foul line.

Here’s the “Choc-List” for you, WBMB:

1) If you haven’t already, learn to throw a “straight ball.” This is done by releasing the ball with your thumb in what is known as the “twelve o’ clock position.” (Imagine the face of a clock – your fingers are six o’ clock and your thumb is high noon.) While standing upright, let the bowling ball dangle at your side and with your knuckles facing to the rear, make sure you are looking directly down at your thumb joint (the rest of your thumb is inside the hole). Whenever you release the ball on the lane, your hand and finger positions should be like that. Any twisting right or left will make the ball move in the corresponding direction so you have to make sure you keep your hand as straight as possible.

2) Look out on the lane and find what is known as the “arrows,” which are actually elongated triangles, or arrowheads. Locate the 3rd arrow from the right gutter if you are right-handed (or the opposite side ones if you are left-handed). This arrow will be used to line yourself up for every ball you throw down the lane.

3) For your first ball, look at what is known as the “pocket” which is the front-most (head pin) and the one immediately to the right of it (again, opposite for left-handers). From your starting position, draw an imaginary straight line from the pocket back through the 3rd arrow up to your throwing arm. It is best if your body is closer to the middle of the lane (laterally) rather than too far to the right or the left. Keeping your focus on this line and the 3rd arrow, walk straight on the lane approach and throw your straight ball making sure you watch it roll over the 3rd arrow. If your ball continually goes to the right of the pocket, move your body to the right; if your ball continually goes on the head pin (or further), move your body left. You are using the 3rd arrow as a pivot point and moving your imaginary straight line to compensate for the amount you are missing the pocket.

4) If you do not make a strike, line up your second (spare) ball with either the single pin left standing; or, for multiples, the pin that is closest to you – we’ll call this the “object” pin. As in throwing the pocket ball, draw a line from the “object” pin back through the 3rd arrow, and to your throwing arm shoulder. Move your body left or right in the starting stance so that you keep the straight line, remembering that you will walk parallel to this imaginary line to deliver your ball as straight as you can toward your target. (Again, if you miss your spare left or right, pivot your throwing line on the 3rd arrow by adjusting your body left or right accordingly.) Splits are exceptions: for small splits, line up your target for the center of the missing space; for larger splits, pick the side that has the most pins and go for the pin count rather than trying to make the spare.

Let me know if this helps you, WBMB. Without face-to-face coaching, I can’t tell if you have (can) comprehend the instructions given. In any event, email me again and thanks for the question.

Why Shenmue Wasn’t As Popular As Grand Theft Auto

Before Grand Theft Auto III lit the world on fire in 2001, a similar type of game were already available from the year before. Sega’s Shenmue features an open world full of activities such as fighting, playing the arcade, and earning collectible figurines. Instead of the term Sandbox, “FREE” (Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment) was used to describe the open- world gameplay.

At that time, Shenmue was the most expensive videogame project ever. Although it managed to sell over a million copies, it was nowhere near Grand Theft Auto III level; not to mention that Sega never made back the amount of money they invested into the project.

So why wasn’t the Shenmue series as financially successful as Grand Theft Auto? Let’s take a look at a couple of factors.

The Setting

Shenmue is set in Japan while Shenmue II is set in Hong Kong. While they have some fans, these areas don’t have as much mainstream appeal as the American cities in Grand Theft Auto. This is why Jackie Chan’s English movies are set in America. Add to the fact that the events in the game take place in the 1980s. That decade was not the most popular of eras to choose from. If the setting didn’t invoke any exotic or nostalgic feelings inside you, than chances are you will feel disconnected with the game’s story and characters.

Lack of Violence

The ability to go on a killing rampage was one of the main selling points to the Grand Theft Auto series. You can’t do that in the Shenmue series. You can only fight in story situations and battle arenas. While the fighting system is deep, martial arts aren’t as appealing as blasting someone with a shotgun (at least not in gun-loving America).

Slow Pace

You spend most of your time in Shenmue asking questions to random people. Not exactly an idea of fun. Shenmue is a story-heavy adventure game first and foremost rather than a free-roaming one. Unless you are really engrossed to the story, you will probably lose patience.

Playstation 2

The Shenmue series went against the mighty Playstation 2 not once but twice. The first Shenmue was released on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. The next year, the Dreamcast was discontinued and Sega went into third-party development. Shenmue II was released in 2002 for the Xbox thanks to an exclusive deal between Sega and Microsoft. The new audience didn’t embrace the sequel and, as a result, sales were poor.

In addition, unlike GTA where you can use some form of cheats like gta mods ps4, Shenmue game is fully a hard work one. You really have to work your butt off just to make it to the next level or stage of the game.

Perhaps the results would have been different if the games were on the Playstation 2. The fact is that Sega lost a lot of potential customers by choosing not to put the game on the ultra-popular Playstation 2.

Thanks to these factors, the Shenmue series were discontinued after the second game. While Grand Theft Auto is seen as a cash cow, Shenmue was a financial flop.

Unfortunately, the story was never finished since the series was planned for at least three games. Despite the constant begging from fans and the financial success of Sega’s Yakuza series (which was pretty similar to the Shenmue games), Sega is showing no desire to make another Shenmue game.
