plan to come back for the next league. 8 days. Looking back trying to figure out how long its been. and identify whats changed, new skills etc.. damn, looks like its been 2 years. jun of 2021. 3.15 before that even skipped a bit, and it had been 3.13. last build I see in path of...

I feel like his stuff has been getting worse and worse.

hp regen is bugged I think. it does not activate when you choose it. it activates after you take damage the first time, after picking it. sometimes.. also the triple dagger upgrade is too much. its like the other stuff might as well not even exist. I like the idea of the ducks as being a...

post this in the games forum. great job!

Thought I'd share my recent internet experience. was paying for 1000mbps down, 100mbps up cable. +13/month for a modem. (stupid.. I know..) I've never gotten that. was getting 100/10. $120/month. 13 of which was modem. which they did not keep up to date either. just swapped to frontier. 1g...

uh huh. ok. Well, IBM stands for International Business Machine. do you say Eye-Bee-Em or ii-bee-ma?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1624306/ for reference, shes also malady in os2, and nyrissa in kingmaker. shes in alot of games.

Narrator is Wendaug.

once last thing before I stop checking this thread. I said, paladins op, bards op. I didn't mention clerics OP. 5d has a design philosophy on class iconic skills. It kindof kills diversity, making each class a single skill/spell monkey. they liked how iconic fireball was. cutting...

Calamity mod got an update aug 1st apparently. Amusing new items added. https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/wiki/Mirror_of_Kalandra

ha. they have been doing good with spoiler tags. I'm probably going to bail out of this thread for a good while. reviews all seem very positive. I'd be curious about more "final thought" reviews. acg and mortismal both mentioned some hitching problems, and needing to reload, some other...

End times are upon us. Bex is leaving GGG.

Needs a balance. especially in a game with this base design philosophy. Ultima base design philosophy was one of immersion. it resulted in underworld and the birth of immersive sims. That concept was core to TES, and then divinity:OS as well. that immersion is why we get worlds full of...

frontier just installed fiber around these parts this spring/summer. I ordered a swap.... but, somethings wrong with the install. guy came, ran line, left.. haven't heard back. waited a week. called up support. "oh, weird, we'll send someone out tomorrow" nothing. I was using local cable...

ha. man I don't remember jack shit about most of the old games I've played. even things like BG. I couldn't tell you what was in 1 or 2. 7th saga., 100% played. but yeah, not a damn thing.

I commented at the end of ep5, start of 6. finale is a let down.

s2 is ok. been a while since I seen s1 to compare. sheen/tenet do great together. the show is very gay. and I dont even mean the leads. I mean out of the cast of like 20, 15 are gay. the show goes out its way to have gay couples everywhere. a b plot is them trying to get two lesbians to...

yeah, i dont know why the all kept breaking. it was just share>start at>copy/paste.

8hour mark is a must watch for everyone here. Q and A hosted by Kripp with, David Brevik, Max and eric schaefer, chris wilson from grinding gear games, travis baldree, and erick olofsson. first question is, "what do you guys think about the current trend of stay out of the giant red circle?"...

no. Race is kicked out of every planet they settle in. Race is genocided by the space facist Kree. Race comes to Earth and asks 1 guy for permission to settle. he says ok. They don't tell anyone else. Race infiltrates every level of government, media and business across the globe...

"area 5x bigger then before" holy shit. seriously, how is the performance going to work with deeper underlying systems.. jeeze. that one guy did point out, all these preview vids have zero traffic in them. themes. that they made a vid for this, I kindof expected them to drop a bomb on us...

yeah, we don't know the drop rates for jewellers etc will be sure. skill gems drop with 2 open links, random colors. 9 skill gem slots.

its definitely something like that. they didn't like how 99.9% of drops are skip or vender trash. so even if you did pick it up, you'd sell for a few scrap currency shards. the loot system also directly conflicted with the portal count system. I really liked the currency system. really made...

6hour mark is kamil and kane. music and sound. goals for combat audio in poe 2. -taming the chaos.. somewhat. -player centric sound design supporting build possibilities. each weapon type now has unique drop, pickup, equip, and attack sounds. you'll be able to ID an axe by sound alone.

I took a break to go diagnose truck problems. Think the alternator has a bad bearing.. next up in day 2 was Kripps showcase. previous link seems busted, so relinking. Reddit suggested his showcase was better then others. he had more time, and he was able to craft a weapon that was not a 1...

4 hour mark. starting Q and A section. with Jonathan, mark, rory, and Hrishikesh(the item designer) gold is the first question. ha. figured. they don't think gold will be a trading currency. its too easy to obtain. like scrolls of wisdom. they don't expect you to use all 9 skills all the...

weapon swap might enable some interesting things with trap/dagger, or bow/dagger. a crit build that has ranged, but then can swap to melee. or, trash trapping, and boss self cast. Run speed mapping, and then swapping to boss killing weaponset. next section of day 2, was some streamers...

item design panel from day 2, for poe2. want more identity for weapon types. axes feel more like axes. quarterstaves moved to dex/int. spears/xbow/flails new. traps are an actual weapon now, not spells. stat differences in base items is much greater. daggers start at 15% base crit...

That vid was from back in 2019.

yeah, they have always been pretty open about stuff. giving out design info pretty early. and yeah. blizzard could steal/adapt.. but they haven't yet so... hell, the entire point of the animation panel was to give out tips to new animators. anyway, I got interrupted to go for a bike ride, so...

jumping ahead. poe reddit is saying kripps gameplay showcase shows a better view of the gameplay. apparently he had a hour, versus 30min of others. and had a chance to actually stop read skills, craft gear because of it. crafted himself a weapon that doubled his dps or something, so let him...

some notes from marks presentation as I watch it. 600+ new enemies. bosses now have multiple hitboxes. in poe1 enemies were a square hitbox only. which limited the size of the boss. poe2 allows bosses to be much larger, and be mobile in the map creatures, not just set pieces. giant boss...

day 2. https://www.youtube.com/live/XE3MAFGDzWw?feature=share first presentation is animation, shaders, etc. very tech heavy. alexander sannikov 1h30min mark roberts. bosses and monsters of poe2.

it is oddly quiet. yeah. look at the people drooling over bg3. I think its the fairly large silence on the game. they aren't showing us much. no previews, not alot of footage, etc. we just don't have a ton of info to dive into. its all new, and we are all waiting. it if was TES, people...

day two is at 10am NZ, or 6pm eastern us time. first panel will be poe 2 Q and A.

ha. later in the vid, the Q&A section. this is the tech section. got the coder, etc. most of the question so far have been meh. but someone asks about "nearby". and what a clusterfuck haha. Feels like Chris is trolling his devs here. he outright says he's cherry picking questions. and...

ok, so the video is not clipped yet. its just the whole 9 hour deal.. This is a link to the Rory rackham, ed tate, and Jonathan Rogers panel. (4h 58min mark) Rory is the lead designer. hes the guy for meat and potatoes of the game. ed tate is the new animation guy. Jonathan rogers is...

PoE1 started out with slower, planned out combat. multiple skills were viable, etc. Power creep turned poe 1 into poe 1. so it could just be a reset like that. Also, preset builds/gear. clearly gave players test builds, not an optimized farming character. think of every time they show...

this rory presentation is really informative on their thoughts on skill design. Im not sure I agree with the causes or solutions. I think the gear socket system is very good and important.
