    As mentionned, if a skill converts, it takes priority. If however you have 2 sources of conversion of the same tier(for example 2 items) and the total converted is over 100%, then it weights them down to convert 100%. Let's say you have a skill that does 50% phys to fire, and then 1 item that...

    The GGG special "we're buffing the Atlas" "we're also nerfing it a bunch" I like that the "incentive" for bonus awakening is removing the increased map drops, moving the increased difficulty modifier shit to it and slapping some half assed 10% master mission bonus(but after nerfing master...

    Monster Hunter (2020)

    This is going to be so bad. Also you'd think police/military or whatever they are would pick light/heavy bowguns as their weapons if they were put into a monster hunter world. Why would they bother with swords and shit when they can just fire at stuff. Hell everyone just get HBG clusters and...

    Well first obviously all the leagues have the same roadmap, that's the whole point and has been ever since they started leagues. It's a gear reset, with one new gimmick. The gimmicks have gotten more complex over time and some are much more complex than others, but not sure what else you'd...

    Not sure why you'd bet that because that seems like a losing bet, the only decent number we can use is Steam users, and while Blight was terrible in that regard, Metamorph was very good, having both the usual high spike for release but also retaining more people as the league went by, having...

    Path of Exile

    It's doable but requires a bunch of playing and at this point it might be hard to get people to help with some of the stuff or finding affordable gear and stuff cause the prices are aligning to standard. I wanna say it's around 30-50hours depending on how focused you are on it, but that assumes...

    I somehow read the opposite, my bad. I've seen other people make that argument so I was wondering why cause it doesn't make much sense to me.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I don't get that argument at all, how does real time makes more sense with "roll a dice to see if it succeeds" systems than turn based? It's fine to prefer it but the whole system made no sense for D&D mechanics, all the characters doing their stuff at the same time while rolling dices and not...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Don't they do that pretty often? And D3 new seasons are still pretty popular based on the twitch numbers.

    I mean realistically a lot of this shit is going away by next year. While they're keeping stuff for 4.0 I expect massive reworks in a lot of these systems and any of the weaker systems will be removed or combined with others somehow. I expect a bunch of the content will be relegated to optional...

    Malmouth can only be started after you finish the main quest, the entrance is gated. Forgotten Gods can be started at any point after you finish act1, but the difficulty will be pretty uneven at low lvl, it's good to go there and grab some belt enchant for movement skills though, shit can be...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Pillars looked even closer I think. They probably could have called the game Baldur's Gate, no number, just like a reboot kind of thing, since it doesn't really follow the previous ones, but from what Larian said when they originally announced it, they didn't look to make BG3, it's Wizards that...

    Path of Exile

    So good, or not, they're nerfing AW to compensate for the blades thing. They're buffing other aspects so it's "balanced", but at least they were aware AW was some broken shit if you did manage to get a lot of weapons. We'll see where it lands I guess, could be overnerfed, could be really good...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The one advantage is trash fights, where you can let it play out. Iirc BG had simplistic AI, same in Pillars and you could basically let it play out and maybe pause once or twice to adjust things but that made trash fights faster. On the flipside, you could design your game to make the trash...

    Na I think the information is generally easy to find, the wiki is easily one of the best maintained wiki in any game I've ever played, it's almost always accurate and updated and is very detailed. However, you do need to be the type of player who likes finding a new thing then researching it...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The problem of Espers for everyone is that you do not customize everyone, instead you just make cookie cutter builds that everyone uses, because you don't need to make anything else. Like Ultima spamming bullshit and whatever else haven't played in forever. By restricting the espers, each...

    Could be optional, in D:OS2 you can do close up dialogues as an option too. Anyway they'll probably talk about a bunch of stuff and then there's the early access to people can complain about whatever and they'll most likely add the options to fix stuff, plus potential modding. Since it looks...

    Screenshots leak: Looks very much like Divinity 2 graphics wise, seems like RTwP seeing as there's the little hourglass icon thing to pause I'd assume in the middle of the UI, but there might also be a turn based mode based on one of the shots.

    Aisling in Intervention for scarabs, probably going to be a decent money maker since a gilded metamorph scarab looks like it'll get you pretty solid returns, since you'll get 2 really loaded organs(tier 2 scarab makes the boss drop 2 organs instead of just one).

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    There's FF6 mod called Brave New World that reworks a ton of the mechanics of the game to make them less shit, stuff like Edgar tools in endgame, Cyan's Sword Tech, it makes Espers more limited for each character so you don't end up with everyone doing everything and obviously buff the bad...

    He picked that up from PoE memes I'd assume, it's an old PoE meme, from pre SSF leagues where people playing the "true ethical SSF" way and other vegan self dick sucking shit. At least that's the only place I hear it often enough and it still sticks nowadays.

    Well you have to start somewhere, the way the business work it's just something you have to build over a long period of time unless you're a very special type of person(famous pro player for one of the few esports games that have high viewership), so you have to grind the terrible hours+pay to...

    Some of the examples they've shown were pretty interesting. The summoner one was pretty good, you get solid passive nodes(bit of flat life+chaos resist+minion life, so not bad at all although the minion life could be something else) and then a keystone, which obviously is going to be more or...

    Oh oh it's Animate Weapon league, can animate blades from Bladefall from the ZiggyD video. Craftable though, unlike Legion random shit. And you can sell/buy them easily, you simply search for the mods you want so it's not any different than the current jewels which also have random stats, just...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    Why not? It's an old scene that never really went away, it's not like it's a new game. It is a shame they have this sort of issues though and they didn't have a modern way to handle them like saved states(so at least they can reload the game to shortly before the disconnects) or pause+reconnect...

    Uber lab access, the RNG of finding the trials. Enchant is a way worse layer of RNG but it was way less impact. Generally, a few skills get big boosts from these and that's definitely fucked up but best avoid them if you don't play trade league, it's not that many skills, and they were mostly...

    DQ11 was solid other than the stupid music contract shit that prevents them from using the good music in the game. Even with the bad music it was good. Octopath/FFXII Zodiac/DQ Builders 2 were also decent enough from what I heard, not great mind you but not horrible cashgrab shit. Overall...

    This heavily depends on builds, a bunch of builds the last point isn't that good, or is actually trash(golementalist for example where there's basically nothing good for uber lab reward).

    Not really, there's a finite amount of xp in divinity(and in BG iirc), you can't "grind" because mobs don't respawn, best thing you can do is murder everyone in town, but that's something you can do at any point anyway even after the game releases, and even that doesn't give too much xp because...

    They did for both divinity original sin.

    Fire resist does reduce the damage, this is most apparent with the mantle which makes it so even if you take the whole thing you don't die(assuming you had 200hp when it started). Having 20+ fire resist base also makes it so you don't get afflicted by burns, which is helpful. Having more isn't...

    Shaman probably with wild strike or whatever it's called, lightning based stuff. Can do fire oathkeeper stuff with the expansion too though I had one like that it was pretty good(but it was kinda reliant on a 2H unique mace I got before I rolled it, was like cyclone+a bunch of procs+big 2H damage).
