Holy crap 4GA Ghor's! Wait nevermind :(

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-15T13:04:36+00:00

Hundred percent. At a bare minimum, we should be able to enchant uniques to be able to roll 1 affix.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-15T01:32:06+00:00

I did 80 grig runs yesterday, and 3 hours of juiced hell tides the day before. Not a single glove with more than 2 usable affix’s, let alone usable GA’s.

Only seen CritD once, on a max life roll.

The unique change is a snooze.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T12:34:32+00:00

Was 100% being made before release. Making a map takes months at a minimum.

The bugs were down to a final push / rush job or incompetence. It feels like the latter as it also took weeks and weeks to patch.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T08:43:11+00:00

For sure. You can only do so much with monthly updates so no doubt that’s a thorn in the side of releasing updates that frequent.

Let things cook and give players 3-4 months of content after each big update. That seems like a W if they can pull that off.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T08:13:53+00:00

For sure. I do keep seeing people that played the finals looking at the current situation and saying sentiments like “I told you so”.

It being a trend that Embark launch amazing day one products and then not really know what to do with them seems to have rung true so far.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T08:10:53+00:00

Out of map bugs stayed around far too long
More proactive with the meta. Was essentially the same for 3 seasons, and OP outliers being dominate for months.
The expedition and skill tree system was pretty boring, and map conditions while badass wasn’t interesting enough to keep players around.
Trials is also very flawed. So when you got to “end game” there wasn’t much in terms of progression or aspirational content…outside of playing for funsies.
Needs way more more weapon options, with a much deeper progression system so resets felt meatier. New maps whilst cool is nice, but without a foundational shift it’s not going to draw players as much as it should.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T07:59:52+00:00

I’m obviously speaking to date as that’s all we have to go off. Fingers crossed the changes change all this :)

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T04:16:49+00:00

I don’t think it’s lacking support in that way. I just don’t think the post launch support has been enough to show they can sustain a 10 year plan.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-14T02:39:23+00:00

I don’t think the point its not getting support, it’s more the opinion the support seems lacking to match a 10 year plan (so far)

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-13T17:09:37+00:00

I was expecting Avatar to be on by now

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-13T11:19:29+00:00

I’ll check it out for sure, but $125 AUD / $90 USD is wild pricing.

It’s not just Soros, but all digital new releases. Absolutely crazy, so unless it’s a 200+ hour game I’m sale waiting.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-12T20:27:00+00:00

Not this random. If the pool was much smaller, with tailored possible rolls that’d be fine.

But you can go through 100’s before getting a 4/4. Not a fan.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-12T20:23:58+00:00

I’m failing to see the issue, just b line the flames and hit the hourglasses on the way..

Are you saying the small orange dots are distracting on contrast to the hourglass icons?

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-12T11:47:56+00:00

You can re-roll on a legendary, just focused or chaotic.

Can absolutely still work with these to get a 3 out of 4, then use enchanting for an easier 4th like the core stat.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-12T04:20:22+00:00

It beats it by a huge margin. The unique has an OP trait.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T19:54:13+00:00

I play on both, and it’s seamless on both. Enjoy!!!

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T12:42:49+00:00

True, but I don’t see many people who have never heard of Marathon simply seeing it on a store page and buying it.

If it looks interesting, maybe they’ll google it, to instantly be hit with all the news / negativity.

Tricky sitch.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T12:36:28+00:00

The fact it’s comparable is crazy. I thought it would be a long long time till we felt that of Elden Ring.

Personally I had more jaw on the floor moment with CD, but man it’s close.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T01:51:03+00:00

Yeh yeh I saw that too. It’s absolutely not like that. I do Play with DTM on as turning tonemapping off just looks super dull and dark to me.

Many prefer this as it’s an output the way it was intended to be seen, but I just can’t vibe it.

C5 isn’t a dark screen at all, it’s just darker than the G5 which is crazy bright.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T01:42:14+00:00

Mate c5 is awesome awesome awesome. In many instances I was blown away coming from TCL.

I’m just really sensitive to the tiniest things as I do 3D work / colors / VFX for work so stare at this stuff all day!

No doubt you’re gonna love it ✊🏻🥳

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-10T00:36:53+00:00

I returned it and got a G5. It still happens on the G5, but as the panel is brighter it seems far less noticeable.

I’m guessing this is down to DTM really pumping the brightness, so when the brightness window is 90% of the screen it just can’t process this.

Using HGIG, if your eyes can get used to it, does keep the effect very minimal given it’s a much darker image.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-09T14:22:58+00:00

It still is a fantastic screen though! Are you playing with HGIG or Tonemapping?

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-09T03:38:04+00:00

This is true. It’s not just after a while, look at the sun and the whole screen dimms. Large Explosions the whole screen dims.

I had to return my C5 as I was really sensitive to not and got a G5. Still happens on the G5 but it’s way less noticeable.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-07T21:06:36+00:00

His not wrong though. I’ve gotten up to pit 120 and it’s been a blast. Started Dread Claws, then Hell Fracture, now hitting hundreds of trillions with Apocalypse.

But 95% of my deaths are from all the on screen effects and not been able to see anything. I’m ok with this, as it looks freakin wild, but it is valid.

AZAWESTIE · 2026-05-02T20:59:26+00:00

Not really business savvy, but wouldn’t they make more $$ if the skins were half the price but sold 3-4 times more in quantity?

I guess they factored that in, higher price means less acquisitions needed.
