    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    So, again, this is a distinction of game vs game + community. The devs said the new aspirational content(all the stuff in parentheses in one of my previous comments) is balanced much more strictly. No lifers as you put it. The implication being that players should not use that content to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm not interested in poe.ninja in this context. That will tell me only the top 50k + whomever bothered to link their account. That is not a useful metric for understanding the build diversity available in a game.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This is what I was hinting at with the "available and actually utilized" comment. "actually utilized" is a function of the game and the community. "available" is a function of just the game. I think it's a fair distinction to make because people will criticize just the game for what is...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Not even that. If your goal is do everything but the absolute endgame(ubers, simulacrum 30, deep delving, ravaged blights), a whole ton of builds are available to even casual players. Note, available and actually utilized are not the same thing. Also note that none of the stuff in the...

    Speaking of questionable practices, where IS the mobile tie in? Surely they had one. Was Immortal that much of a profitable fiasco that it wasn't worth risk?

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This thread isn't just about playing D4. There seems to be a discussion about questionable practices within ARPGs and gaming as a whole, which is least partially relevant to D4. This is where someone posts the "STOP HAVING FUN!" meme for I think the third time.

    No, @Lightning Lord Rule , skeleton his account. Mr. Metatarsals has a nice ring to it.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think I was making the assumption that if we were to go to the (monumental?) trouble of producing a genetically altered mosquito, it would be a solution that's at least an order of magnitude more effective than current ones. If we have to frequently reintroduce the genetic vector, isn't that...

    Wouldn't shittier mosquitos be less likely to pass on their shitty genes? I only see the time-delayed scenario working.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This has been a Blizzard problem since forever. D3 limited their testing to Act 1 and it was up to the players to reveal how ridiculously overtuned the endgame was. For some reason, I still to this day remember a Druid Bear cooldown that got its effectiveness cut in half only a few days after...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Even with eyalets from missions but not granting them any provinces, I was running into gov cap issues. That's why I was trying to incorporate them as much as possible. With influence ideas, you can get a pretty high percentage of their tax, manpower, and force limit. Why not use them at that...

    Europa Universalis IV

    How are you handling eyalets? I think my strategy is ok but it has a ton of annoying micro. I try to keep some territorial cores on my border so that I can annex provinces in wars. Then I feed those provinces to an eyalet of the same culture group while keeping 1-2 myself for the next war...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Ottomans do seem like cheating. Eyalets not counting against diplomatic relations is very powerful for blobbing. What gov cap? The only drawback is changing your blobbing style in Africa and Asia so that you always have cores in range to feed your eyalets. Even better, it feels like building...

    Fair enough. I was just responding to your APM point. Not really much can be done about slowing down PoE. We have a discussion going in the Torchlight thread about slowing down PoE. I would consider RF as close to fewer clicks without going autobomber.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Sounds like you need a healthy dose of AutomateItAway. There are a significant portion of builds that revolve around just right clicking the screen. Or you could just become one of those minions-only schmucks.

    Torchlight: Infinite

    PoE already has a fundamental problem where a significant portion of content(i.e. gear and gems) cannot be solo self farmed by veteran players in the timespan of one league. Ruthless might restore some of that feeling of accomplishment via creativity but then completely undermines it at the...

    Don't give that movie an undeserved accolade. TNG was on the air for 7 years prior, passing the torch was unnecessary.

    Path of Exile

    Only ~2 months until ExileCon. I've never been more productive! Been toying around with some Kitava's Thirst builds. Revamped Heirophant and Arcane Surge make them look interesting? There's a variant that puts Frostbolt in the helm and triggers it with Ice Nova. Some of those will support...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    You don't play PoE. You play PoB and then verify your build in PoE. The gameplay is mechanics interactions and depth of character progression. There's definitely something to be said for it being too fast and having to get immunity for a whole slew of ailments. I don't think D4 trading this...

    Succession

    Not really an after episode. But they did have a bit, per season I think, where the showrunners would be more candid about the show and plot. My point is that I'd rather not know how this shitty sausage was made. I already have a pretty good idea and tacit confirmation would just threaten my...
