What's your hang-up? Not into the TW style of games, or no time?

Of course getting artifacts earlier helps, but I don't think the game is difficult enough to need it. I haven't used any fragile resin yet at AR52/WL7, so most of my artifacts are below average. I farmed domains with regular resin regen for Keqing and now Ganyu, but still use a lot of gladiator...

Character level does not mean that much, every 10 levels only mean a few percent more damage taken and less dealt. Just keep your main dps character up, the rest can slack until you have resources to catch them up.

It is not the last league before PoE2, never was. Whatever they had in mind for a launch date when they held exilecon is probably off the table too. Right now, I would assume they hold and refine to torpedo D4, as they originally planned.

Heist was a mess for much longer than usual, so the Dec league would get less time. On top of that that they also have the already-announced Harvest rework on their plate. Cyberpunk or not, they needed that month. It probably weighed heavily into the decision, even if they decided to not...

I got to pity on the standard wish with the update, turned out to be a wolf's gravestone. Pretty good I suppose, though I was hoping for a Jean since I don't care for the other anemo characters. I wonder if they will ever put those characters on a focus banner.

That change is good though, it means they'll actually be at work and able to address problems right at launch, instead of everyone but a skeleton crew being on holiday break for two weeks. I hope it sticks for the future.

The GENSHINGIFT was old, I already had that. But eATDgIXLD56 is a third new one. Anyone that wants to claim the livestream codes better do it today, the last time they expired shortly after the stream.

Xinyan is pretty fun so far, probably putting her on the main team instead of Xiangling once I unlock enough talents/levels. That's with Keqing as lead. I'm not liking any of the cryo characters so far, at least from those I have (no Qiqi), so I'm hoping Ayaka turns out great.

Just watched his analysis, and he kept pointing out that it's mostly an issue for the high difficulties, so one can dodge that bullet by going down a difficulty level at least. He did say they are more fun to play, so at least that's a win. Punting amber into a side mechanic instead of revolving...

Skaven are the only race I have not played. I never liked them, really, and whenever I'm on the campaign start menu and consider going Skaven for once, I end up starting Lizardmen instead. I'm looking forward to the Wood Elf rework though, I love that race. Their progression being tied into...

If nothing else it serves as method to carry over resin to a day where your wanted mats are available.

I'll admit to not knowing a lick about the sports games genre, but don't they put out an entirely new game yearly where you can buy random packs for extra players, and also have limited/seasonal editions?

Dude, spoilers!

I've not spend any money, despite having no qualms about spending on mobile games now and then. Frankly, the content behind the BotW curtain isn't worth any money by itself, and the gacha is far too greedy to consider. Down the road, at best I'd buy the blessing regularly if their updates...

The internal title for that anouncement was "Let's see if reddit really likes 4 months leagues".

I haven't looked at WoW since early Legion. Do they have dynamic level adjusting like GW2 yet, or still just doing squishes every other year?

If nothing else, this might get other exploration/botw style games to be made, probably better ones too. The first 20 hours are really high quality, but there just isn't much of it. If you draw an analogy to pc games, this is a very early access. We have 1.5 regions out of 7 right now. But since...

I think their goal with bringing this to consoles and pc was casting a wider net and catching .1% of new whales that way, then switching to the usual mobile game schedule. Right beneath the top layer it is a pure mobile game, and a pretty thin one at that. There's just no way they can keep up...

They better not fuck up Ahsoka. She had a great run from Clone Wars to the Sith temple in Rebels. Time shenanigans are bullshit.

Keep in mind that the "Path of Exile 2" name is just a marketing gimmick to cause more hype. It's not a different game, just an especially large patch for PoE.

The Bad Batch didn't do it for me, really. The Ahsoka parts of the last season were more interesting, even those with the annoying sisters.

They "lost" competing with PoE2 two years ago when all they had to reveal was a mobile game. The golden window to relase D4 and have some traction vs PoE2 is in 2022. Will D4 come out in 2022? No way. Release it much later, like your estimated 2023/24, and they'll compete with a PoE2.5 that I'd...

We're talking about leveling though - a couple of hours. I plopped down 3 fields to the side and used those for the seeds I got when leveling my new character. Most juice went into storage, since you do not use it that much, having picked up a leveling weapon or two with the funds from the...

I didn't really pay attention to this until I switched to a bow build yesterday. Did they elaborate on why they changed it? I'm not even sure I want the current version.

The most ridiculous part of the stash tab debate is that nobody needs those. They are the definition of barely-useful QoL, and if the company can survive on that plus cosmetics instead of going P2W, that's a benefit to every player. If you had to juggle back and forth between 3 full tabs to...

That's pretty much my take. Unfortunately so, since I was looking forward to warcries. I actually started with cryzerker last league, but lost interest quickly because even with instant cast and bound to move key, they were clunky. They fixed that like a week later by not consuming the first...

I spent every minute I was allowed to on that ESB game, and it was awesome. Don't take pot shots at my childhood, man.

Obviously waiting for patch notes, but I'm exciting for slam/melee. Hopefully those are the skill subset that receives the real push, not the fake-out. On that note, I still hate the obvious push for a few select archetypes for each league, but that has been a thing for a long time now and I...

If you like Total War games, you'll get your value ten times over. Since you already got WH2, just play it for a while and see if you do like the gameplay. If yes, you might want to watch for sales on WH1 and DLCs that interest you. The WH2 campaigns have an overarching plot mechanic that's not...

Total War: Warhammer can be played for free this weekend, along with the usual steam sale advantages to rope you in. I can't recommend that game enough, if you don't have it then definitely give it a try. It nails the Warhammer Fantasy setting down perfectly. I'm gonna grab the last few DLCs...

I'm not a fan of the art style of the promo material and some of the new alien looks. That team shot looks like fan art, too. I suppose in game it uses Xcom 2 assets so it isn't that bad while playing, but between this and Gears Tactics I am leaning heavily towards the latter.

Oh I'm sure this will get nuked from orbit between leagues. I just doubt that GGG sees a big incentive to do it earlier with mid-league nerfs. Especially not after saying they won't. Reddit be fuming, but when is it not? The bottom 70% of players don't even know, the 70-85% range know but don't...

People still vastly overestimate the impact, because the usual argument turns towards trade and the value of their time. That's a hardcore argument to begin with, so we are already talking about a small cut of the player base. People might leave the league early, but for the average shitbuild...

I know most of these won't be worth the traveling nodes to get there, but damn if I don't feel like a kid in a toy store. I want to use all of them and then some.

At this point, for most people it is defined by rose-colored nostalgia goggles. I get why people rile at the '3' in the title, but all things considered that is a minor detail dictated by marketing. The question is whether Larian can pull of the writing and stories from the old BG games - if...

At the risk of going off-topic, would that be a positive influence? Is the D&D side of WotC good at building a story? I'm only familiar with the MTG part of their products, and what passes for "writing" in that branch of the company is laughable. it is strange, given how good their world...

It shouldn't simply be "not easy", but 3.9 devalued other content too much. I hope they find a middle ground there. And regarding your "I have played so many maps I never saw before" point, that came about because of the Conquerors of the Atlas revamp. With that you get most maps way earlier...

Pretty much my take. I want the endgame to give me options and choices. That's one of the strengths this game has for me, unlike something like D3. It's fine if I let some of those opportunities pass, the point is having those options in the first place. At this point, the worst league mechanic...

That I can agree with, but not at the expense of gutting out entire leagues. I wish scarabs had been made a more general item that allows the player the flexibility they are asking for, instead of staying tied to a league on their own. The temple needs an overhaul because it's not up to par with...
