    In my like 600 hours of POE time to get to Uber Elder across 4 leagues I paid like $20. Just so I could have the stash organized. That was some value.

    Look at how effective selling a 4 day headstart was. Once you see streamers paying $100 to get to the "awesome stuff" past the 2 month faction grind gatekeeper casual Timmy won't be able to suck dick fast enough to pay blizzard for the privilege.

    As long as the cash shop items are limited to cock rings for your horse mount and at most inventory storage as a game modifier I won't complain. I just don't think for a single second that that is all there will be. Since we already know the game will have dailies and WoW format faction grinds...

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

    If bliz is smart enough to just have their cash shop be limited to buying stash organizers and cosmetics a la POE they should be happy about the 10 million boxes they're about to sell. Then let the cash shop trickle in. But they will be greedy fuckers somehow.

    Just got to act 4 of my DOS2 run. The item generation outside of uniques has sortof fucked me in that I was unable to truly beef up some stats but it hasn't mattered. I simply do way too much damage as an archer with multiple movement skills and stealth. Straight up unload AOE arrows on fuckers...

    Threadromancy! Been renting out my old house since I finally moved into my new one in August. It's been fine so far but they somehow broke the water heater now I am finding that replacing that shit is like $3000 if you have someone do it for you here in Austin right now. I called 5 different...

    No no bro. This is an entirely separate key that is not used anywhere near Firkraag or his hideout in any way. Refrain from looking up a guide about it. Just make sure you have it.

    @Rajaah Since you went to Firkraag's hideout make absolutely sure you found the key there. It is on one of his minions. It's not part of the plot, but it is badass. You have what? +1 or +2 or better weapons? The + indicator is a threshold for doing damage against certain monsters. Similarly you...

    I understood it as neither side can really win. Abyss vs Avernus is the lower planes form of Chaos vs Order.

    Fallout was one of the first isometric CRPGs to really be open ended. That's what I think of it. If you have prior knowledge you can go right to the end of the game without doing any wonky shenanigans just having game knowledge about what checks/persuasion/etc exist and how to get to them. Its...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Yeah when I played BOTW I held on to all of the ancient tech weapons I could and just ended up never using them. I'll try not to do that this time. Also I need to abuse the crafting system more.

    Now that is some serious bullshit game design. I enjoy the topic of game design in an academic sense and I honestly would like to know what fuckers who made shit like that were thinking.

    You're never meant to do it as a first playthrough it was always an lol run for the absolutely hilarious dialog that goes along with it. NWN, FO3 and New Vegas (with mods) also allow for this. Also sortof a relic of a bygone era because most studios simply wont spend the dev time to setup...

    I am nearing act 3 in my DOS2 run. It's been really easy now that I hit a powerspike and got lucky with a few key items giving me immense amounts of damage. I do dislike the source point system now though. I either have to go back to a place with infinite source to replenish my points which is...

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

    I think the only real takeaway here is that its going to be near impossible to create any balance for a character that can simply equip more weapons than any other character. That is if you center your game around powerful weapon items as opposed to other items. So by and large this is negated...

    The Diablo story was never amazing Blizzard stories are never compelling. Games like this you want minimal story since you have to run the same dungeons a million god damn times. Voice acting and all that bullshit just becomes something you roll your eyes at after the first time. Replace ninjas...

    I never replayed NWN so I don't seem to remember that. I remember that it was a good game but I disliked that you could only have 1 companion. I always had that lol kobold bard.

    Innovation is great. Blizzard should have spent all their time and effort on polishing the stuff that POE does right. Which is how they keeping people playing. IMO MAPS is by far the greatest thing Path of Exile ever developed. It's just such a compelling way to keep people grinding as ARPG is...

    Adding to the blog here with my degenerate run in Original Sin 2. I think my only real gripe with the game is the EXP pacing is shit and you don't level in any consistent way unless you are either autistically talking to every single NPC looking for exp OR autistically murderhoboing everyone...

    The way I looked at this is that the manager of your team, whoever this is, should be the "scrum master" in the sense that he is spending a lot of time making dev tickets as, and I can't emphasize this enough, AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE before they make it on the board. I have heard from people...

    We all would like to see D4 succeed. Truly. D4 should have spend their time developing and perfecting POEs MAPs system. Because Maps are just an excellent and compelling way to keep people playing. Unfortunately for everyone they are instead going to try and fit in Wow dailies/wizard chores...

    Cloudkill is for sure the most annoying spell in BG2 as it remains deadly throughout the entire game. That said wands of Cloudkill are the best items you can get early on as they allow you to take out Firkraag via the Room Breach Method. Which was always lol.

    Playing Shapeshifter Druid is a solid choice in BG2 as well because they can get stats from holding items in addition to their Dire Werewolf form. So you get the whole nine. A powerful and durable melee form and all of the big dick priest spells.
