    I know you're exaggerating, but you seem to be describing Headhunter gameplay. I've never been a fan of that either, but not for how fast it gets. I don't like the implicit pressure of having to use the stolen buffs before they expire. I alt tab frequently. Let me try to describe it another...

    Anyone that doesn't enjoy Herald of Ice self-chaining explosions is lying or hasn't tried it. Anyway, that's not the point. The amount of walking between packs is boring and I don't feel like the class I've tried(Sentinel) quite has enough tools to mitigate that.

    Been playing Paladin, mostly because I wanted some blessed hammer action. Is there a class or build that doesn't have such shitty movement skills? The cooldown on movement skills and/or amount of movement speed doesn't keep pace with how fast you can dispose of a pack.

    If I have these two mods: "Smite applies Electrify", "Smite casts Lightning Bolt", does Lightning Bolt apply Electrify as well?

    Been a while since I felt the need for stash space in PoE, so I haven't been watching prices. That also suggests GGG hasn't been abusing, mostly, their monetization model, fwiw. My guess is that $35 is what you should purchase as a bare minimum after demoing PoE. $60 will get most of what you...

    The Netflix Thread

    Even the normies are fed up. People with absolutely zero capacity to sail the high seas are grumbling about this. Some aren't paying for their own subscriptions after password sharing changes, though I suspect part of that is apathy.

    How much did you pay to install PoE? Perhaps a less simplistic comparison is required for incongruent business models.

    I very much doubt upper management would have let you had stashes for in-game currency even if development hurdles were overcome. It's also worth considering that a fair portion of D4's development issues might stem from bad management decisions(i.e. must be like Lost Ark).

    I run into this issue with a lot of my Sentinel builds where close to a third of the spec points into Lunge feel like a complete waste. Given your only other melee skill has a ~4s cooldown, why not just pick up cooldown recovery on passives and gear and spec into something else? I was...

    For a significant portion of PoE's life, Steam was ultra retarded about patching. Essentially forcing you redownload most if not all of the files touched by a patch.

    That hasn't been the case for a while. But at the same time, I'm not usually sitting in the queue on release day, so I'm not watching Steam patch PoE like a hawk.

    PoE2 will use gold to instantly purchase items listed by players. Gold is player bound and can only be acquired by playing the game. You can still trade items if you want to forgo this transaction tax. I don't think it's been confirmed, but it would be pretty silly not to backport this system...

    Depends what you want out of the game. For someone that plays PoB(not a typo), there's definitely plenty of build puzzles to solve in this game. It's not as complex as PoE. Also, fosters healthy competition in the ARPG market. GGG has already changed their stance on some aspects of trade...

    Please, no. This movie has more than enough eyesores. Also, it would be uncomfortable to watch an actress that's letting her hair grey play a mentally damaged child. A movie with better writing chops could use that to its advantage.

    Is this a common development practice? After we release, the release branch is merged into master. Is each season branching off master really early and then never merging master into their branch?

    Real shame they raised the subscription price. By itself, still cheap. In context of knowing they're going to continue pumping out DLC that raises the overall cost of full ownership, leaves a bad taste. Is there a historical map-painting alternative?

    I will agree that Blizzard wants to sell MTX. See above about some singular WoW MTX making more than the entirety of SC2:WoL. They've been on the MTX train pre D3 I think. I disagree that they are competing for GGG's market share. In this forum alone, what percentage of people are actively...

    Path of Exile

    The memory game throws people for a loop, especially the third phase that introduces coil beams. I think the memory game is poorly designed and counterintuitive to what a player comes to expect doing other boss fights that lead up to that one. Don't waste your time getting splinters via 10-way...

    I think more to my point is that I've never had these considerations while playing PoE. I certainly like a good story in a game, it's just so rare to see it properly executed. Such that I don't consider it a negative when a game basically doesn't include a story because I'd much rather that...

    The domain itself looks suspicious, let alone directly linking a .mp4 file. I have NoScript and Ublock Origins running in addition to Windows Defender. The best piece of security is using your brain.

    Rare is the game that seamlessly interleaves narrative and gameplay. I've yet to understand why GGG expends resources explaining why the player is a murder hobo. I also suspect it's why the lead writer left a few years back.

    This has been my experience too(making shit up). My fellow employees will use it to look up answers to development questions and we frequently find it will fabricate commandline options to utilities or parameters to API calls.

    If someone has a status that effectively boils down to "I'm not going to respond right now", then I think the expectation is that it's ok to leave a message, don't expect a response. Is the problem that you can't read their message and respond later because it shows you've read it? You can opt...
