It is without question the worst gaming purchase I have made in the last decade. I have dozens of unplayed games bought on Steam and D4 is the only purchase I actually regret. By hours per dollar metrics I suppose one could say I "got my money's worth", but I definitely did not get the same...

I work in the oil and gas business and would like more empathy from you, please.

As a couple of people more than likely already said (I didn't read the thread yet), I already forego almost all mainstream media, and would revel in it's demise.

Welp I made it to 98 just grinding my way through content, but I don't think I have the time or energy to compromise my life to reach 100. Or to seek out accelerated mechanics to do it. I failed yet again to kill Maven, just because I am too old and decrepit to do that retarded third stage...

Splattercat gaming, who I pretty much watch daily, did a gameplay video of this and it looks pretty interesting. Difficult, but interesting. I gotta say, though, I've bought the odd game on the Epic platform but I think I am done over there now. So I am disappoint.

I was pretty surprised when I bough a 1.2 divine item on Friday: I looked up the conversion and the price of a divine was almost 300 chaos! I don't follow the conversion trends, but when was it last this high? You would think if the league was printing divines it would be lower.

As a 70s and 80s kid I was slave labor for my Dad, and I relentlessly listened to Iron Maiden on my cassette walkman while toiling away. One of their later songs became a favorite of mine: Also from this album, loved the guitar work in this song:

Also, what's eveyone's preferred dominant mechanic for Atlas boosting? I have been doing Ritual but the rewards have been garbage so I am going to spec into something else. I will do Blight for a while to get enough oils to make my amulet, but aside from that I tend to default to Expedition...

I started to feel the boneshatter creep of melee pain starting at 80 and slowly went back to my EA totem build. I have enough divines now to invest in better gear for both, but I am leaning towards a third build of some sort lol. Melee is really shit in this game. Edit - @ronne spends his...

Total Eclipse of the Heart, the last song played in all of my early high school dances! The following 80s ballad is not only awesome, but has a special young lady in this video.

Rock of Ages was voted the #1 song of 1983 in small town Nova Scotia. On Through The Night was one of the first cassettes I owned.

I am not sure your comments about buying currency and, evidently, an entire character really fit the typical PoE conversation around here. I don't know about everyone else, but this was my reaction to both comments: By the by, I lucked into a Eater Shrine rewarding Divines in a map today and...

I used to LOVE Cyclone. And my league starter for probably 4 years was Ancestral Totem. I am no stranger to the left and bottom of the skill tree. I also did RF for about 3 leagues until GGG started making league mechanics that made it basically worthless. Sentinel was a real kick in the...

That video posted earlier was great overall advice on the TOTA, outside of the silly build he was running. I went from banging my head against the wall to winning super easy. I haven't done it much because the mechanic itself is not really in my wheelhouse of interest, but now that I am...

I am running that and the no reroll +100% extra favor and cleaning out the inventory each run. Nothing really good has come out of it so far, but it has been interesting.

That's exactly what I was thinking - this feels like an only downward Delve in terms of difficulty curve. There is a reason GGG made a great ARPG but have not made a game in any other genre.......... When starting a league, do you typically go through yellow maps before you branch out of a...

Yeah it was a mid 70s level Heist where I dropped that mirror last league. Edit - I am cruising through yellow maps on my EA Totem league starter saving up currency to equip this a little better and then try one more for fun. I was thinking that cold dot elementalist I see everywhere, but I...

As a mostly casual player, even I know to not touch most of the mechanics in the game until at least maps. Come on guys, what the hell??

Welp, my old starter go-to used to be Ancestral totems, and of late it has been EA totems...and looks like that remains constant. Once I sold a mirror last league I was able to buy my way to a high-end build but I still burned out relatively quick and didn't even have the incentive to finish...

I quit two weeks ago and started playing Season 18 of freaking Hero Siege and am having a lot more fun lol. This game came out in 2013 and this was the first time I realized it had a D2 clone ladder season; I always just puttered around with it offline. Pretty sure it cost me $5 on a sale at...

I fucking LOVE pickled beets. One Thanksgiving I ate a metric ton of them and later went for a pee and it was reddish. I panicked for a moment, then remembered the full container of beets I consumed. Was a real scary moment! I will say that if I ever pissed brown, I would certainly panic.

Came here looking for confirmation bias and found it. I got to about level 45 with my barbarian and noticed things slowing down substantially. By the time I hit mid-47, it was taking me forever to kill trash mobs and I rage quit in the middle of a dungeon and haven't logged back in since...

To sum up the last several posts, Blizzard is incapable of understanding what "fun" playstyles are like, and so every fucking build in this game has some sort of inherent sad trombone facet that sucks the life out of it. And the resource maintenance in this game is bullshit. Just give us mana...

I didn't like Halls of Torment. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, but the pacing of the monsters was too dense at times to where it just felt unfair. The "loot" is pretty sparse, they should have leaned into this facet a lot harder. And the "skills" you get are about as meh as they come. I...

Goddamn - I decided to stop playing until the new season, since I am just going to do the same build, but read the Lilith statues and map clears carry over to seasons. What a boring goddamn task to run around the overworld clicking on statues and exposing corners of the map. It's too goddamn...

Yeah, I would definitely echo a lot of people's comments about EQ. I was lucky that I was 28 when it was released and just got out of a 5 year relationship. She was still a friend and used to complain that my phone was always busy until I finally got cable optical internet lol. I recall...

The barbarian sounds like he was voiced by a hoarse Keanu Reeves. Exact same cadence and stilted pace. It was distracting! Welp, I finished the campaign at level 47 and started working for the damn Tree. That campaign was a SLOG, and I cannot imagine ever wanting to do it again. Is there...

So, hilariously, I swore I wasn't going to get this. Then I had just the most brutal three days at work and said Fuck it. And, first it asked me to update my drivers for my 3080 Ti. Um, ok. Now I cannot get in because it looks like their Subscription Servers have been fucked for a couple of...

Lineage 2. So ridiculous. When Korean grind fests were about the PAIN.

Oh man - I splurged on a high elem DPS bow and followed a vaal ice shot build. Hilarious. A true glass cannon, with 3,100 hps. But the best clear speed I have ever had. Hilariously, once I got to maps I dipped my toe in slowly like I always do, then realized I wanted to fill out my Pantheon...

The last phase can suck my dick. I did one this morning, first two phases area easy peasy, barely even got hit. But doing that memory game while the degen bars float around, and damage flies from everywhere is just fucking stupid. The person who designed Sirus def designed this fight. I...

I've only done her twice before and once was with RF which is REALLY not good because of the degen beams. So she and I don't have a lot of history lol.

Well shit, I've finally managed to do the Elderslayers and the Twisted, not sure I have managed that in the past. I want to do the Maven, but I am in such a good mood right now that I don't want to ruin it with that fucking memory game. I am sitting on two invites, so I suppose I have to do it...

I only stayed because I got rich and bought an expensive bow and amulet for my build making me more powerful than ever before. Otherwise I was out long ago. I'm still sitting on 165 div or so thinking what else I should build.

Best narrator ever returns. I hope this is good, the first holds a special place in my heart, to be sure. I am a cheap old bastard (with too many games to play) so I will be holding off for a while, reading this thread regularly for updates!

One of these days I am going to have to dedicate myself to a full playthrough of this great game. I've installed it on every computer I've bought in the last several years but never got very far.

Either luck, or they changed the drop rate - I personally don't recall seeing a key drop at all to date and I've gotten two this league. They are definitely a novelty and I am unsure what supports their sale price beyond that.

Having this many Div's, I now understand how people go broke after winning the lottery. I did some serious redneck shopping for my build, and damn the prices.

I took @Arbitrary 's advice and sold it for chicks and blow.
