To me, the most interesting phase of any ARPG is when you have X limited selection of high-quality items, and you have to find the best possible build using the items you currently have, to farm the content you're currently farming, in order to get items to expand your selection of best possible builds. To me, it is like playing limited formats in MTG, you are working with what you have and trying to assemble the best spec (aka deck) based on what you've been lucky enough to find so far.
You’re reading a lot of reviews but apparently only paying attention to the negative ones. A lot of people like D4 and you can find plenty of criticism for Epoch if you look.
Yea, I was just looking for feedback on the gameplay. I didn't realize arpg had to adhere to strict guidelines when it comes to items and specs (admitedly the last arpg I played was D3, so I've missed the whole PoE / Grim Dawn / Last Epoch phases). This type of arguing is probably why game companies are afraid to try anything new and we keep getting cookie cutter rehashes of the same shit over and over. Id rather have a fun game with 1 viable spec than a mediocre one that caters to the infinite possibilities crowd. That's just me though, I don't really play games for hundreds of hours anymore, I'm fairly sure I have video game ADD.
Ya same shit happened with barbarian and while it's pretty fucking dumb it won't really have any affect over their ability to do all of the content. Not sure why they wouldn't just put in a quest NPC that basically automatically gives them the ability and just put a disclaimer that it's not the actual quest or something.
Xevy
I spoiler'd a few screenshots from the POE forums where it showed about 50-75 different builds from across the classes. There was no response to that. They are spouting the same shit about us white knighting POE and ignoring the fact that we want D4 to be different and good.
It’s just a bunch of worthless non game changing stats. Trust me it won’t be missed in the beta.
Yeah but there is a state where one can consider it to be finished for release though. If this thing ships with only story shit 1-50 or whatever, and no end game for instance, I would consider that unfinished. Or if class features are not fully in yet. Or balance is way out of whack...etc... Of course service games are never finished but there is a threshold they need to meet at release though, get me?
Come on man, what you are saying is dumb right now. How is having end game and all the class features in at release subjective for it to be considered ready for release?
