Yea, you're a special kind of special.

In case anyone reading this thread hadn't bought into the PoE2 release last year or doesn't know, GGG released PoE2, made like a handful of bug fixes, and then their entire office went on vacation for an entire fucking month (not a joke). And during that month there were massive exploits, duping...

No it proves that you think them going MIA directly after releasing a content revision in an EA even when shit is actively being abused/exploited/duped (even crashing servers) qualifies as "actively updating". I almost forget how idiotic you are but it never takes long for you to remind me.

Thanks for proving my point?

Yea dude, they actively changed the fuck out of this game last January and February right after they first released it.... oh wait.

Oh I read it bud

That "see the future by watching your ability tell you what you should cast next!" ascendancy is next level horseshit. Like holy fuck that's honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen and they think its cool.

Short durations with cooldowns on all that crap and you have to press the buttons. GGG is so tone deaf when it comes to PoE2.

Thats one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that post is a very convoluted way to say *almost* nothing.

huh? everything they showed had slow frames and cooldowns. And if you have to press multiple buttons how is that an auto bomber?

See ya at the 0.5.0 reveal.

Its Lake of Kalandra + Temple. I thought they were trying to make PoE2 more approachable? This shit is way more 5 head and idiotic than anything in PoE1

Everything except for the spell totems looked hilariously bad

ToTA was an excellent league mechanic in that it was very rewarding if you wanted to do it and you could buy literally everything it dropped without every needing to step foot in it if you hated it

Don't worry, the revision is coming soon(tm)

The league mechanic was excellent early. You could actually do it at low gear levels and the rewards from the tree were extremely powerful early. And then... it falls off hard. The hives can be pretty good but they are wave events and people tend to either love or hate wave events (simulacrums...

I would hope not because that's what I giving Gilligan credit for not doing. That would be some JJ Abrams or D&D hack writing. AI or Billionaires masquerading as aliens. Please no.

It seems pretty obvious to me. They set out to just make a game and they actually did, they did far more than most Kickstarted games. But it was so successful they made "holy shit i can retire" money and so they decided to retire while pretending they just didn't make enough money even though...

^^ Pretty telling, no?

Uh sure. FWIW I agree this game was/is worth the box price. But that doesn't mean the criticism surrounding the company isn't warranted or valid.

So you had an opinion about how gamers just whine about wanting shit for free without having any idea how many copies they sold or how financially successful the game already was? Cool story. Learn how to Google, or use your preferred AI

Is this a joke? Look at the amount of copies they sold within the first 30 days of launch. Compare that to their small kickstarter, and the trickle of EA purchases that kept them going for years. Years. You serious? This game was actually insanely successful. Like... unbelievably so.

That amount of money doesn't "dry out" that quick. It was either epic levels of embezzlement or theyre full of shit. I just happen to believe its option 2. They became much wealthier than they imagined, didn't feel like working anymore, phoned it in for a year then decided it was easier to sell...

They were trying to take down a behemoth that actually does give away content for free, and they made promises that even though they were going to charge a box price initially they were going to follow that same model. And people bought it. Very literally, with real money, bought it. They lied...

You believe that they are failing as a company. I'm not sure why. This game is wildly successful and the second they got their major payday they stopped giving a shit. And make no mistake, it was a major payday. You can believe they are a struggling small indie studio just attempting to keep...

They made some promises based around justifying a box price. They sold a shitload of copies at that box price. They put zero effort into keeping their promises after their big pay day came through. They put zero effort into even attempting to create and sell MTX. They very quickly sold to a...

I recommend starting as a Summon Zon and playing it like a caster (use FCR and +skills gear, forget about shooting a bow yourself). That will be the easiest way to get into maps and trade for gear. Also, use an Act 4 Dark Mercenary, he casts amp damage. You can hire them at Tyrael in A4

Okay so the skills are mostly named the same for Zon but they have changed a lot. You can actually play a summoner zon in this game. Decoy is VERY strong and valks are decent tanks and you get an extra valk every 10 hard points into the skill. Cold and Fire Arrow (the skills) also function...

What class are you playing? Lots of the skills have the same name but function differently and there are also entirely new skills.

Welp, shit. I did miss that.

The servers have been a little taxed with the influx of players this season. You can usually either just join a public game or switch regions and try to create games there. Also the queues aren't real, its a bug thats been in game creation forever. If you get put in a queue just cancel and try...

If you have trouble installing PD2 itself go to the tech support section of their official discord. The newer CD keys can cause issues.

Log in to battle.net Go to Account Settings -> Games & Subscriptions -> Scroll all the way to the bottom to Classic Games

It is, they just hide it for some reason. https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii-lord-of-destruction?p=464

Gotta be the OG

No new classes but lots of new skills, you can check the pd2 wiki for info.

I dont know much about ascension. PD2 just took a bunch of ideas from modern ARPGs (mostly PoE) and modded Diablo 2 with those ideas and mechanics. Its fully online, has a real, homegrown trading website, just launched its latest season yesterday (season 12) and had 15k concurrent online users...

Project Diablo 2. This thread should probably renamed as I don't think anyone here actively uses this thread to talk about D2R.

Google paints a picture of pure greed honestly. Last Epoch has sold over 3 million copies, 2.1million of which came from steam sales directly following their full launch (February 2024). They are/were a small studio so those kinds of sales should have kept them going for many years but within 1...
