Have you considered a pvp league where there are restrictions on the gear? PoE has player-organized leagues called "gucci hobo" where the only items you can use are whatever you start with or uniques that drop for you. Admittedly not pvp, but just an idea. Your pvp doesn't have to start at...

Sure, more adjustable, unique-heavy builds struggle for resists. Resist capping and gear locking is an outdated relic from D2. Something similar to physical resistance and adjusting elemental damage taken needs to replace it. I don't agree with the SSF point. Trying to progress, purely as...

Was prepping for next league, which is likely a mistake, I already want to play but I know I shouldn't. While iterating upon accuracy stacking jugg, I had a revelation. Probably not the first time, but I wanted to put it here so that perhaps I'll remember it. I find unique-heavy builds less...

Is it irony that Foler solidarity'd this post?* *I did not have this thought in the shower.

Cramming house and yard projects into weekdays or even weekends is stressful and leads to them just not getting done. Although unintuitive, taking vacation time to tackle large projects serves exactly the purpose of vacation: less anxiety.

Got a car with 100k miles on it. Haven't driven it since WFH started and there were some expensive repairs looming, so we've decided to get rid of it. Sell it?(doubtful). Junk it? Donate it? This is the first time I'm getting rid of a car in which the dealership didn't kinda sorta handle...

Is it really "metagaming" if the only level playing field requires bot farms? Sounds more like mental gymnastics to avoid harsh truths.

PvP, in my arpg?!?!? I'm willing to bet your assumption is wrong. Where are you getting that most people played D2, will play D2R for PvP?

Grinding, in my arpg??!?

There's a video of a guy doing uber elder on a level 36 character when that fight was the pinnacle of end game content. PoE boss fights are all about not getting hit. I wouldn't use them as nerf barometers. This is the same path of matth build showcase that died during map clear and the maven...

"Like cheap wings? Vote Trump, they're orange like me."

What he said.

How are you going to handle gaming?

I'll admit that I never traded paper magic back when I played, so I don't have a good feel as to the cost of even that. But either way, that's a fair point. I will say even in a game like poe where the cost of trying a new build is just 3-7 hours of leveling through the campaign, that's enough...

Imagine debating white collar "fraud" with a guy who's persona in ANOTHER PART OF THE FORUM is about abusing welfare. Keeping track of you faggots and your forum personas is exhausting sometimes.

To be fair, doesn't paper magic punish experimentation as well through sheer cost?

Low effort podcasts. Been doing some house projects with the wife and it seems her bar for "background noise" is far lower than mine. She suggested a podcast on some of the seedier stuff Edison did. I thought that could be interesting, so I agreed to listen to it while we sanded and painted...

There already is a block reduction support gem. They failed in making non-damage support gems competitive. They probably need to do away with dps gems altogether and only have support gems modify how a skill behaves.

Big P is using his house to compensate for being a midget on a dating site. Realtors are unappreciative of his duplicity.

What is there to discuss? Actual game is solved, so these launch pitfalls are the only new content.

I'm more than happy to discuss ACTUAL D2 resurrected(i.e. PoE) in the D2:R thread, but I want to be clear that it was a joke comment. Perhaps I should have bolded the strikethrough as well?

Hey, you guys should try FF14PoE.

Link the videos. I suspect you're conflating overgearing with the mine mechanic.

The problems with tab have nothing to do with Python, which shows how little you understand about the issue in which you rage against.

PoE league launches have been smooth recently. So long as they don't forget to migrate characters from the previous league. And don't push untested database pagination changes 24 hours before the league start. For the same league.

Perhaps they need to be....Resurrected?

Is it time for Aldarion to once again stubbornly conflate poor implementation of <insert technology here> with any and all implementations? Perhaps we could rehash python and nano too.

I'm thinking that a 20+ year old game that's only getting a cosmetic facelift has already been solved.

Careful now, what game do you enjoy playing currently? I'm sure you can see where this is going. And to head you off, Ion leaving won't save WoW. I'm not sure anything will.

Oh yeah, achievement tax for 36 was 10-20ex, most of that being Cortex and Heart of The Grove. Is that worse than 100% AoE Feared? I'm not sure... Grats on 36 and especially doing a lot of first-time content. Spectres have been down lately, so I guess it's good they're still viable.

Finished up with the league, got my 36. Thought I would be done early, but when I checked the league start date(July 23rd), I was close to my typical 2 months again. Not a good 2 months though, this time. Lots of frustration, being given puzzles and shitty pieces. Curses, ailments(to a...

I've tried block builds and dodge/evasion builds. I'll take "let's you move while DPSing" builds over those any day. Block/evasion/dodge will fail, and it will feel like shit because it means you can't progress your character's level anymore while doing whatever else you were doing. They can...

I was wrong about SST. But so were most other people. It's getting deserved meta status for numbers alone, on a defensive-oriented Raider, you still pump out very good single target DPS on a budget setup. More than once, I've griped about the clear of the skill. It's inconsistent, based on...

Who is Ben Lee and what did he do?

Fuck no, you have no way to pay the rage costs if it is your only DPS skill. Max block sure. Bleed, I don't see how that could work. The skill is heavily focused on attack speed.

Rage Vortex might be a skill, some day. It's like Lancing Steel: absolute bonkers dps kneecapped by shitty QoL. In fact, it's actually better than Lancing Steel, that skill requires to stand and deliver your dps. Rage Vortex lets you just fuck around and dodge, creating a new one every ~4s...

So the normies stop asking why we aren't married yet.

That sounds like the opposite of meditation.

The difference is focused ballista support. The totems no longer need a target in order to spawn clones, allowing you to spawn them before a fight and/or while a boss in monologuing.
