    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This is what I expect from PoE 2, a beautiful wrist-killing slug-paced game. Blizzard did copy PoE just all of the parts the players generally dislike; which the devs defend until they change it. At least PoE has varied biomes. Through the story to NM gameplay loop, it feels as if I'm running...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    What's with all the trash mobs moving like a FPS pro player avoiding getting head sniped? Everything after the campaign avoids being grouped up. The ranged mobs will kite. It would be one thing if it were just elites but white trash mobs have Elden Ring boss AI.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Has anyone found the theory crafters or those that played the media event for zooming builds to start with? That WW barb build using the gloves can't really be it so far.

    Torchlight: Infinite

    Other than hitting 100 I finished the league. I would try for 100 but I did not get the right pet setup. I'm sure with a few leagues, as I'm not going to spend now to make up for the time, I will have more XP protection pets with enough levels. Overall, it's the most fun in the end game in an...

    Lost Ark Online

    40-50k is fine as long as one is playing a popular class. If not then those sweeping class changes can be rather painful. Even more so when one's RNG is on the low side. To change my main's build it would have cost me hundreds of dollars. Sure, some green-quality trash accessories could be...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    Yes, at least with the current design of the genre. Else one ends up taking 20 years to farm the 2nd rarest item ala d2. If the game wants to be slow then give me an item editor via crafting and nothing with a .0000001% drop rate killing a handful of mobs every 30 seconds. Sure some...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    If TLI is more fun is it really the inferior game? Either way, the old guard at GGG needs to go. Once D4's shitty slow as fuck pace fails I hope the ARGP genre embraces the faster-paced huge density that PoE 3.16 excelled at. I guess that is what GGG could do to get me back playing...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    Please stop giving money to studios that believe tedium is content or difficulty. I'm begging you. It will never end if you keep paying them. I've spent more on tabs in PoE than I have unlocking the classes in TLI. The better/higher level gacha pets are most impactful for a few hours on a...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    The English wiki that I saw wasn't worthwhile. Maybe there's a Chinese one but IDK. There is a data mined site. The test dummy gives a general idea but it doesn't get a full ramp-up that one gets from certain effects. With a trash economy, this league, and the horrible crafting changes testing...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    TLI's big issues are the horrible and buggy UI, at least for PC, plus the shortness of maps. If maps were 2-3x longer it would be nearly perfect. Of course, all similar games require a PoB program or a test environment akin to Lost Ark and studios should provide them. I'm playing a LL melee...

    Out of all the times I've seen you brick your items when you've been done, this is the first I've seen actually hit. Decent hit too! grats.

    Torchlight: Infinite

    It's been ages so I don't recall the previous torchlight games as much. Infinite feels like they iterated upon Last Epoch, poor independent dev team, with plenty stolen from Path of Exile. I would pay $15 per league for a similarly limited currency looting pet in PoE; it's part of the monthly...

    I had noticed that when I swapped to an ultrawide monitor ~2 years ago. Exsanguinate mines wouldn't throw in an even larger dead zone--IIRC all the extra space from the UW was a skill dead zone.

    I'm not sure how you are defending a league mechanic that feels like synth crafting without juiced synth tiles. Synth crafting was also amazing for the few people that did it. The league needs something rewarding in maps.

    Path of Exile

    GGG not leading with a banger of a league for the D4 release is the most on-brand thing GGG could do. This is right there with not having a patch for a month and leaving the league broken back when D4 was announced.

    What are the off-meta builds people are looking at? I've seen an interesting self-chill explosive trap (pob for day 2 or 3)and a storm brand inquis. How's that frost blades heatshiver trickster build that has been mentioned looking?

    The watcher's mod is only 5 charges per second due to the ICD. With that dps you won't notice it too often.

    it's just 1.5x the current resist. It's a huge dps increase for the build and great with the scorch + explode boots.

    Sanctum is easy once one has the right relics. I'm using inspiration when getting an affliction, stacked to 120 per, and it has made it easy as cold dot. 1k inspiration is a low cap though. Looting is still the worst part of the game. The auto-looting distance and delay on sanctum coins make...

    Thank you, the intern, for the free pots. Sure, they were random but there's no way they go to take them back.

    The diadem is carrying the mapping sustain. But, 8-9 seconds to heal fully from regen wasn't the best for bosses in the past. Maybe I'm wrong as I haven't played in the last year. More or less you're playing a higher cost of what I am.

    Path of Exile

    I ended up playing cold dot ele and it's been decent for the low investment. I thought I would ask before I invest the ~30 divines I've farmed in it if there are any builds for that investment that I should look at instead. The autobomber aspect of vortex is nice but the lack of sustain from...

    If this was a meta-shifting league why are the league starters the exact same as 9-12 months ago? Seismic trap, EA, cold dot, and Helix are still the builds I'm seeing dominate lists. Are the content creators lacking creativity?

    You should come back and carry us through the raid. Barrage artillerist is S-tier DPS now.

    Lost Ark Online

    After the first few weeks of any game, we end up grinding the same shit. But, Lost Ark's lack of rewards for the grind is a major factor to quit the game as soon as I find something to replace it 5 characters doing Valtan/Vykas/Clown and 1 argos/valtan/Vykass with no nothing of value. I have...

    Lost Ark Online

    My issue with the chaos dungeon is that SG's answer to making them complex is just to have mobs that move out of attacks. They are just not fun. But, if one does any daily activity in the game the chaos dungeons are the most efficient/rewarding.

    Deathblow striker feels very underwhelming until fully built. I am still missing the Lazinths + Umar card combo to complete the build(and only at 1540 spec). You'll be pretty disappointed on most raids w/o it. Many mobs do not give damage windows, other than staggers and longer skills(clowns...

    I'm sure they would see an increase in players just by removing pheons. The game has enough gold sinks already. I have 3 months of aura left. I'll probably just spend the $20 on a different server every 6 months for the aura.

    The only mounts that matter, for the movement ability at least, are the Cerberus, gold cloud, and white/black cats. Gold cloud has the best movement ability (so much so that they tried to nerf it). Cerberus is second. There are probably other mounts equal to the white/black cats but I haven't...

    Why is that still an issue? It Makes it so an alt has to take a week to do HMs+Argos. Then, about 3 weeks doing Valtan + Vykass to get the full sets. I can see if one is whaling and wants to play a specific alt the day they make it. Granted, it takes two weeks doing daily content + xp gain...

    If they gave a game mode with increased loot I would come back. The grind to the point I was usually at each league got tiresome. The thought of having to do the campaign, again, and farm for a week to try the new endgame completely kills my motivation.
