    Speaking of monitors, Im having a hard time focusing in on mine from arms length, both at work and at home. So went to the eye doctor and I guess my eyes are getting better (nearsighted). She said that one of my eyes improved a lot and the other slightly so there is a mismatch. Before they were...

    Yeah, the other trial is worse IMO for the 4th. YOu have to complete 10 stages 3x to get the fragments in order to fight the dude at the end. Yeah you can buy them if you have the currency, but fuck that. Still, my kid, in the video above I posted thinks this one is easier and less shitty to do...

    The vaal shit is too time consuming to build up for those juicy rewards. Youre talking about RNG and 30-60 hrs to build a temple that will produce currency or will it after the nerf? Too much time commitment for not even knowing how it will turn out. Also they dropped the ball on the Delirium...

    It would help if you could just do a free port to the hubs. Then start your quest/mapping from there. I agree traversing 10+ maps to get to anywhere is kinda shit. But what me and the kid and his buddy did was each of us spawn a map close to the hub they were mapping in, and we would all enter...

    My sprinkler build kinda stalled out at like T12-13... Would take a whole lotta divs to get him up there. I guess im making a monk like the rest of the server. Here is the POB if anyone has any sugesstions... Defenses are OK, but the damage is just not keeping up with the ramp up to T14-15. I...

    My kid is playing some type of monk/wyvern build with oil barrage that freezes everything does every kind of ailment debuff on shit and clears screens. went from T1-T15 last night. Farmed the whole abyss quest beat the boss like 3 times. Made a ton of Divs. Craziest broken ass shit ever. He...

    Yeah act 2 is where everything is coming together. And it helps to know WTF to do in the acts too. So youre not fully exploring all the fucking zones not to miss anything. Still they need to fix this shit. Im betting the average clear time for campaign is like 15-20 hours, which is way too...

    So got my Warrior to switch to the Sprinklers of death. Still need some levels for those +STR nodes as I only have like 600 right now at 79. Maybe score some better stuff with more +STR. But this dude mows down shit so far up to like T10. Its as far as ive gotten with progression. Add to the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Problem with this game has always been that at early mid game down to late game everything turns into EZ mode once all of your classes start ramping. Then by end game youre one-shotting everything. They just could not find a good balance in this game. Dont get me wrong, great game and I wish...

    Speaking of D2, this actually has a complete overhaul mod which turns this into D2.All of the zones and everything. I played it and it was fun.

    Meh, didnt like that build. I started with it and zoomed through campaign to like tier 6 maps or whatever, but I found it too squishy without a HUGE investment into ES, es nodes and ES recovery as well. You were basically at the mercy of killing shit before it killed you. I reached a point where...

    Alloys go into expedition tab if you have one. I think the expedition tab is new? IDK, I bought a few at 0.5 launch and that might have been one of them.

    So I started with the spear chucker twister bitch and I got to lv 76 or whatever and dont like it. IT is really powerful but too many buttons to push and too squishy without huge fucking ES cash, which like everyone and their little bro wants this league. So rerolled my leap slam warrior. Quite...

    Its too long and there is no skip so if you wanna roll another, well youre stuck with a, at minimum, 4 hr speed run. But Im sure the average twinked out run is like closer to 9-10 hours. League starter for the average is prob like 15-20 hrs.

    Nahh, the dude explicitly said this shit is not balanced and this is what they will focus on from 0.5 to 1.0. He said there is a lot of shit that was put in but not tuned at all. All they have been doing is adding content, not balancing any of it other than the glaringly broken shit. Monsters...

    I mean shit will get added on to for sure as the leagues go on. We all know GGG hates to waste content. And in sure as time goes on it will be more complex. But what they have done so far is slow rolling all the league mechanics out to you at end game or act 4+. Simple quest and a location on...

    Yeah they just have to streamline the campaign and make it not suck and not so long. That and balance the whole damn thing. Other than that really enjoying the end game. So much to do.

    There is nothing to get better in bro, its RNG during campaign because you dont have the resources to properly craft shit like you do in end game. And add to this the shit stats that no one wants always have the biggest weights too. How many times during this run did I have a blue weapon with...

    Yeah I disagree. You can still have a GGG game with some input from the average. Im not saying to redesign your entire game so that a blind person with no hands can play it. But at the same time, designing your game for the POE1 10 yr veterans and expecting a larger audience to come and play it...

    The problem is that an average Joe will log on and pick a starting skill that looks and sounds cool and run with it. And if it feels like shit, hence the game and act 1 feels like shit, they will simply quit in frustration. Were all POE players, or most of us which play this game so we know GGG...

    If you actually do the quest of the seasonal shit in act 1 you end up in a vault with a whole bunch of chests and shit. I think every 3rd large stone circles you interact with you get a vault?

    I accidentally closed the game and now I have to download 2 patches. OOP, never mind, one patch then its now validating my game files, lol. I think my game is bricked now. I go to log in and it says needs a patch, then I exit and it validates, rinse and repeat.

    Same shit with Baldurs Gate 3. Yeah it had some gay shit in it, and I fucking hated all of it. Especially pre patch when it was literally forced on you from all angles.

    Shit even on MnK it was hard to place a bell where you wanted it, right on top of the boss in the heat of battle, so it always ended up either behind him or way off to the side so then youre hitting the boss but not the bell. Or having to just reposition. I guess this is a gamer issue not a game...

    The biggest problem with monk IMO is hes so fucking squishy because evasion and ES before maps sucks dick. And its hard to make the switch later unless you have the currency. IDK maybe the added 33% more in 0.5 will make it feel better. Like with a bow character you jsut keep your distance. I...
