    Path of Exile

    It'd probably be way faster to farm the 50-60 chaos or whatever Oni is now than to farm for him if you are at the point of mapping. I got mine in 5 hours but a lot of people spent/are spending 10-20+. I still pop in with my other characters a couple dozen resets a day and haven't seen another...

    If I don't particularly care about killing uber anything until late in the league when I can afford my end game gear is the best way to complete the atlas from buying maps? I've never pushed higher than yellow maps previously and I was mostly winging it.

    Grim Dawn

    It's true. I still don't understand how to craft correctly in PoE which is why I skipped SSF this league, but Grim Dawn has Shaman primal strike/savagery which is like my favorite build in any ARPG. So satisfying.

    Path of Exile

    My friend started a couple days ago and last night asked me if exalts were worth anything. He's gotten 2 already and is only L48. I ended up selling them for him and buying the gear for his build that he wanted. Needless to say he's happy and loving the game.

    I'm playing Molten Strike Jugg w/ Oni on softcore currently to test how it'll play out on hardcore. I died twice while while getting to maps (granted my gear is pretty shit since I am ssf) so I don't know if I'm going to play it now or try a summoner build. It is fun though and my DPS is crazy...

    Into the Breach

    They don't have access to the internet? Cause that's what we use if we need to recruit and it doesn't take more than one person sending a few emails, getting some proofs and finalizing approvals. I guess if you're totally inefficient at your job that seems like a lot of work?

    Path of Exile

    Well I had 6 characters chain running them, but ya I'd say it was lucky. I was about to give up and take a break if nothing hit by hour six. Both dropped for each hc/sc about the same time at about 4 bubbles into L7. Got really lucky too with early move speed boots + shield on all chars so I...

    I work for a large multinational media company so I'd say yes in my experience it's pretty easy to nab artists. Getting non derpy developers on a temp basis is pretty much aids though.

    Just finished getting one Oni in softcore and one in hardcore. 5 hours on and off. Boring af.

    Rank means nothing aside from playtime once you've unlocked all the quests. Your growth is skill and gear based only.

    Into the Breach

    Regardless of the semantics of what defines a studio it's not like hiring a temp artist is difficult. They can clearly make enjoyable games, but they lack the desire or effort to produce something more visually appealing and that is a turn off with the amount of options available to spend your...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Man impale DH is crazy strong. I ended up getting the shadows set while farming for the unhallowed set last night and pushed to GR80. Think that is a good quitting point with two characters at GR80 and PoE season starting today. Was a good waste of a week be back in S14 =O

    Monster Hunter: World

    For sure. When I was big into fighting games and dealing with their online play it was always pretty bad. I just ignore him at this point and let it do it's thing. He usually provides a knockdown for me to do more DPS and if it isn't tempered doesn't do enough damage to me to worry.

    They are adding pokemon to the new season? Sign me up. Just in time of me getting bored in D3.

    Into the Breach

    With the sheer amount of out of work/under worked talented graphical artists why are studios still pumping out these potato graphics when the specs to run these games are trivial? These dudes have at least enough of a budget now to throw $14 and a crate of shrimp flavored ramen to some person on...

    Got GR80 on WD. Had friend PL a DH and got to GR50 in complete garbo gear. Already bored. Think that is a new record that I didn't even make it a week.

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah MH:W Xbox has some issue with people being unable to join your SoS. I tried changing pretty much every setting on the console and game, but no luck. As far as the older series it functioned better, but I wouldn't say it was great at least on console. For how big budget this game was and...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah I rarely group outside of playing duo friends who are still slogging through story mode. No one joins my SoS on Xbox regardless of all the settings I have messed with and the "fail to join" crap is obnoxious since it usually happens 10-15 times before I get a successful entry. I stopped...

    Monster Hunter: World

    You can counter-thrust without guard and I'm pretty sure you can outright block it as well without guard, but I rarely straight block since it takes away from damage. Most of the non damage set perks (earplugs/tremors/windproof/guard etc) are negated by good play since you can block, roll or...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Your weapon DPS less important that how it functions with your build. You really need to look up how all the moving parts synergize with whatever gear you're wearing.

    Don't even need guard on Lancer tbh. The only things you can't block without it is Teostras explosion which I just flash pod. I run white sharpness, 100% affinity full damage on my lancer build 99% of the time most tempered are limping before my mantle / heal boosters wears off. Just get good at...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I am all solo too. I used the starter set and beat GRift 70 last night so they are perfectly capable of carrying you high enough. I used Kadala and the cube to get my weapon, offhand, bracers and my 3 cubed extracted powers since it was quicker than waiting for drops. Now I breeze through T11s...

    Monster Hunter: World

    If you have monsters leaving the area you're in expedition. Just follow assigned/optional story quests and you have until the quest time limit ends to beat the monsters. I'd highly recommend not using SOS until you're in the "end game" of farming tempered investigations or maybe if you need to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah regular torment is not hard at all. If you want some difficulty turn it up, but it's better to be efficient. T6 is a sweet spot until you are geared enough to run T11+ imo.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If it's easy you're playing on too low of difficulty, same as any ARPG. While RNG is RNG you'll get more stuff the higher the difficulty. You should work up to doing the highest normal rifts via Torment difficulty increase you can finish in around 5 minutes to farm for keys for Greater Rifts...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Going to finish banging out GRift 70 solo. Stopped at 68 and still had 4 minutes to spare so I think I should be able to do it tonight to unlock ancient items. Is there anything else "end gamey" I should be doing after that before I attempt to push higher rifts? I saw they added the ability to...

    I finally got 1 of 4 needed hammer stones at HR70. The deco grind (without meld save scumming) and weapon stones took my #1 spot for thing I dislike the most about the game above the janky multiplayer system. I've got shit loads of sword/blade stones that will rot until the end of days if they...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Haven't played since S3. Started a witch doctor last night and got to GRift 54 and para ~180ish before going to bed around 3AM. Game is even more polished than I remembered. Doubt I'll push anything higher than Grift 80-90 as it always becomes too tedious for me.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I finally decided to pick up and play FFXV and am about 10 hours in and hit chap 3. I think if it was called something other than Final Fantasy I'd be enjoying it more as it just feels like a more RPGish GTA/Saints Row etc.

    I'm torn. I love all things Warhammer and I enjoyed the first one despite all the bugs and nonsense to get all the DLC and clear the content up to cata difficulty, but I really wish they changed the engine for this. Been watching a streamer play and it looks like damage taken is super neglible...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Effective in what way? Weapon wise the only one that has a decent functionality (sleep hammer) might proc 1-2 times a fight if you are really dragging the fight out (15 mins+) which at the point I'm at most fights are sub 5 minutes. I don't think my palico has died once regardless of armor or...

    That's literally all I have. Blade/Sword ~x20. It's hard to care though since tacking on an extra few points per hit on my main hammer set isn't going to make or break fights I'm already blowing through. -- I really, really hope they do something about multiplayer. Having never really used it...

    Yeah if you're playing hammer and want to mix/max then Diablos Shatterer II is the way to go. With full build and buffs I'm breaking 450+ raw damage pretty easily. MHW Calculator is a good calculator to use.
