Playstyle is not the only factor in build variety. But you know this and are purposefully acting in bad faith. The nuances in how lightning arrow and tornado shot clear is enough to differentiate them.

Observe as the troll masterfully strawmans arguments before they are even made.

So renown is just an unlock system with no direct rewards?

Disappointed! Was expecting some expert level tucking.

Shit, we let him get away with it?

Interesting. I thought most of the people complaining about renown were people not used to a "real" grind. Note the quotes, what is too much of a grind is completely subjective and you're allowed to say whatever you want is too grindy. But this is the first I've seen someone who is used to...

same same but different but still same

Chris said something to the effect of not scheduling anything after Exilecon as you're going to want to play immediately. Play what immediately? PoE2? PoE2 open beta? 3.22 Cruciboogaloo?

Can a writer go on strike if he wasn't writing fuckall to begin with?

Well, I mean, probably better for the cooking thread. But there's tons of recipes for utilizing pork shoulder. My favorite is pulled pork. Serve it up straight with some bbq sauce on a bun. Put it in your baked beans. Use some of the fat you're undoubtedly going to have left over and make...

WTF are boneless ribs? From the shoulder no less?

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...

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.

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...

Even in trailers you can't stand still in this game.

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...

She identifies as an arachnid.

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?

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.

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...

No, you are a cheap piece of meat. Wait, that's not mutually exclusive...

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

You're friends with Chris?

This thread is now causing its namesake :(

The prequel to this movie released after Infinity War.

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...

Blubbarian? Doughboy Drax? I remember when this thread was about making fun of the character models. Good times.

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...

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...

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...

Sounds like you've had some shitty egg pies.

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.

Davram Bashere would be my guess.

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.

If you fuck someone while wearing the One Cockring, do they turn invisible too?

Yes. I'd say totem explode taints the challenge though.

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...
