    MTG: Arena

    I'm not sure where else to put this, but this seems to be the most active card game thread atm. To some relatively good success, I've applied arbitrary goals to other games that have an undefined ending. For example, instead of playing PoE until I get bored, I stop playing when I reach a...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Nah, we don't have that kind of mobility here. I'm not sure it would do much in the end. The further up the career tree you progress, the less programming you do. QA, development, doesn't really seem to matter. Or, I could just be telling myself that so I don't have to do the hard work of...

    You should at least tag @Vorph so he present the other side of that argument ;)

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    So, people that "develop" automated blackboxing? I'm not sure I'd like that either. I'm the QA manager at a small shop and we do QA a bit differently. We still do some test result reviewing that I would like to push back on developers, luckily it's not much of my day anymore. But sometimes I...

    What's traditional testing?

    It says test, so...probably the latter.

    That's the immune-to-everything pathfinder, right? I'd say his profile is correct at the moment. He's got investment in vaal soul cost reduction but no vaal skills.

    Because they make more money investing those manhours into other projects. Low-hanging Diablo fruit might very well turn a profit. They likely have long list of current and future projects that will return a better profit, even for a company its size.

    Vegan. That's not a fair comparison. GGG does not have the stable of games that Blizzard does, thus manhours have a much different opportunity cost at both companies.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Been playing around with VS Code for a bit. Is there a way to set relative directory paths? For example, if I have a file that imports a local module, I can set that up fine. But if I clone a branch, the absolute directory path is goofed up and it has no idea where that import is on the...

    You can do 24 in a couple weeks if that's your express intent. Just avoid any challenge that involves specific encounters in the mines. I mean, do them if you happen to find them, but do not go out of your way looking for them if you have easier challenges to do. 37 took me 7 weeks.

    MTG: Arena

    I played MTGA a bit during closed beta, decided to go back to Gwent, at least until Homecoming debuted. Homecoming isn't sitting that well with me, and the game itself seems dead(I'm in the top 10k just doing dailies and a losing record). From my stint in closed beta, I remember them being a...

    Gwent - Standalone Game

    Ladder is infested with non-interactive artifact decks. First patch for the game won't come until (late?)December. I have a LOSING record and yet I'm in the top 10k. Game honestly feels DOA. Kinda thinking of checking out MTGA again.

    The language was slightly vague, so I was just hoping. Perandus and Breach portal MTX are probably the only one I miss that I really want.

    Path of Exile

    I like the idea. It has no appeal to me directly as described in the link, but I won't write off the idea that someone could cook up a league that appeals later on. Indirectly, it's a diversification of GGG's revenue stream. This is good because unless they drastically change the price on...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I disagree. Even just a "yeah, we're working on D4, we have nothing to show you though" would be a good response to this disaster. Who cares in the end how the game is marketed? Hell, "leak" through some streamer or whatever so it doesn't even look like your fault that the info got out...

    Path of Exile

    Why not drop lesser poison and pick up a Hypnotic jewel? Some interesting choices. Why vulnerability? And no offering? Basalt seems like it would be better than Taste of Hate, but I was also considering using a Loreweave over Kaom's. Summoner just seem to need so many gem sockets! No life...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yep. The game has been considered not worth any major investment for quite a while now. Bunch of battered wives in here(not the person I'm quoting). I doubt there will be a D4 in the form you want...ever. It might be made under a different name by a different company and look a bit different.

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, I was hoping I didn't have to dedicate two flasks slots. Can you post your character? I think I'll start next league with this character. Toxic Rain transitions into this quite nicely. I'm considering dropping one of the poison supports so I can use slower proj but I don't know if...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    idk, I think you're simplifying it a bit. How much do you think it cost to develop, test, and release the necro and how much do you think it made? And then compare those number to whatever those manhours would make put on another product.

    @Vorph thanks for the suggestions. Dancing Duo clears quite well, they usually outpace my ball lightning. It's too bad Command of the Pit is required because I want to use Empire's Grasp. Is there a good way to reliably start rampage at any moment outside of 4 writhing flasks?

    Is a defensive CWDT-Curse setup not as useful for summoners?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Understandable, I thought the same thing when I started playing PoE. If you play very casually, then yes, respeccing can still be a non-insignificant cost. But if you want to develop your character into the endgame, or put serious playtime in across many character, regret orbs will come very...

    How is Soulwrest a two-step process? I thought most Soulwrest builds utilized CWDT-Desecrate and Bubonic Trails.

    I don't partake in twitch, someone explain the F thing. Is it just one long angry FFFFFFFFFuck? While I hoped for a worthy competitor to PoE because competition is good for the consumer...the schadenfreude is almost as good. This franchise was dead years ago, time to buy a Switch.

    Any recommendations for newish builds that people really liked this league? I tried out a reverse knockback CWDT jugg that uses the crawler to kill, but I didn't like how inconsistent it was between packs. Just looking for new stuff to try. MS jugg, inpulsa PP elementalist, and indigon PP...
