    Path of Exile

    https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3359438 This seems a bit contradictory. What kind of changes require the context of the entire patch notes but aren't scary system reworks nor need player feedback ages in advance? "Ages in advance" could be interpreted as an insult too.

    PoE launches have been pretty smooth for about a year. I think their last mishap was 3.15(almost 1.5 years and 6 leagues ago) where one manual task(migrating past league characters to standard) wasn't done ahead of time. So it was done implicitly when someone signed into their account for the...

    Wife was interested in this show, so decided to watch it with her. I think we're through 3 episodes? Kinda annoyed with all the really short music callbacks. It feels cheap in effect once you notice it but also can't help but wonder how much they spent in licensing. Overly squishy meat...

    You're actually having fun? Even some regular Ruthless masochists are complaining because the gold change fucked up early transmute/alt/alch farming.

    Europa Universalis IV

    After the Livonian Order, TO feels very boxed in for expansion. Might be worth delaying getting kicked out of the HRE until after gobbling up some minor states. Though, that does assume you get admitted without restrictions.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Perhaps describing it as "Roddenberry's message" was too narrow? I'll admit I don't know much behind the scenes wrt how Roddenberry was trying to steer later TNG and the sequels. But, by "Roddenberry's message", I generally mean anti war, anti conflict. Perhaps I am misguided here. Rather...

    In the Pale Moonlight reinforced Roddenberry's message. It helped humanize that idealistic utopia and make it more relatable. Same goes for Siege of AR-558. War sucks, look what it makes your beloved characters do. You'd do it too. Dark and gritty or overly optimistic, I don't give a fuck...

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

    They removed the ability to see the affix tier from ID'd items on the ground a couple leagues ago. Nobody liked it and they didn't really do a good job justifying it either. It was suspected to curtail botting.

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

    I'm not even sure GGG fully understands what it did to loot either. The solution is to buy some quad tabs, pick up what your loot filter tells you to pick up, ID what needs IDing, and then toss it all unseen into a quad tab. If it's underpriced, the market will tell you quite quickly. If it's...

    You could. I'm only half joking when I say PoE is a PoB verifier. There's not too much about the way-too-fast combat, trading, and "crafting" that makes PoE that fun to play beyond the surface level. The true fun comes from understanding the systems, sitting in front of PoB for hours, solving...

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

    The true endgame of PoE is automating your build to its absolute limit. Hardmode builds are taking builds that the developers obviously intended to be "1-2" combos and automating it anyway. Fuck pressing buttons in PoE.

    I think it was safe to assume that the events would be targeting the majority of the playerbase. Who the fuck is still playing sanctum at this point? The economy is dead dead dead. In this context, you need to be extremely clear that the events will not appeal to most because there is no...

    Paying for Netflix got me shittier Netflix. And shitty competitors. Why didn't I get a better Netflix? Supporting creators is an ideal that is inversely effective to the size of the entity controlling the content.

    So, how do you build hexblast mines without sandstorm visage? I was thinking poison but balance of terror is gone. Don't want to have to play occultist, that ascendency seems rather bland since 3.20.

    Path of Exile

    Unsurprising but still kinda sucks. Eternal Damnation and Sandstorm Visage were pretty useful uniques. Balance of Terror is a pretty big power boost in some builds. Almost build enabling in some aspects. It's dependable Wither for non-Occultist classes. Original Sin is stupid and shouldn't...

    If this is a test bed for them officially supporting group ssf, from a drop rate perspective, I think that would be a good result. Be open about it though, no smoke and mirrors about it being more fun to watch than playing the fucking game. Group ssf with this forum might be fun.

    Supposedly it keeps people playing. PoE is basically required to do it because the economy needs a critical mass to function. It's already breaking down at this point. I've gotten 2-5x for items that wouldn't have sold at those prices a month ago. Similarly, items I would have assumed...

    Why are you playing PoE leagues then? ;) What does "balance" mean in this context? Am I correct in assuming you mean a trade system where almost everything is freely tradeable but participation is truly optional? I'll admit I don't know LE's plans for "standard" and seasonal characters, I...

    It allows them to ignore having to balance around trade. Or, at least put much less effort into it. What do you think puts off more players? This system or PoE's trade system?

    Aren't they doing that? You can trade items with players in the same session. Play enough with someone, you can trade items not dropped while playing together.

    This is a false equivalency. Can you name an item acquisition game that implemented trade but didn't balance around it, thus it was truly optional? Price fixers, scammers, flippers, the Mathil Effect, inherently reducing item value due to other players getting more value from the same...
