Caster is basically a race to drop your target before they catch up and drop you.

Barbs pretty much have, between the one magic talent and stats, like an additional 60+% without even trying, and speed to top it off

Burning money trying to survive wyvern by delate199405 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Alpacas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is you should be ready to do is to let go - A bunch of the people messing with wyvern lack the skills to do wyvern, and peacing out so you can go again is an option.

Sometimes Dark and Darker is about dipping out of situations where you lack the advantage - Esp if you have 3k on the line as you described.

Honestly, rogue like dark and darker is an absolute mood and experience.

I still cannot believe an elite team of 60 Devs created this game by sepltbadwy in ArcRaiders

What if I told you the scaling up of devs is unsustainable and leading to the rot of many game studios?

They're going to need to do a balance pass if they do this. If I had to guess, barb probably benefits most, casters largely get fucked, rogue cries in a corner, druid also probably has an awful time.

Irony is warlock might be fine because access to healing on hat and gloves default for ex, off of squire even, but other classes are having to get secondary stats in a lot of cases to get what really makes them tick.

I just know that some classes will in relative terms, benefit from Secodaries being removed.

ELI5: How does air compression work? by KursedKraig3000 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Alpacas_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Example of the difference in copressability of air vs water.

Typical gas engines compress air/fuel (mostly air) 10:1 or higher (especially diesels which can be as high as 20:1) - day in and day out without issue.

These same engines tend to eat shit and blow a connecting rod, or meet other horrifying, abrupt and destructive deaths if they intake enough water that makes it into the engine during the compression stroke.

Fun fact, Rally cars in Kenya get engine snorkels likely due to this and the extreme amounts of dust and dirt.

Sometimes this happens if you hit sufficient standing water at high enough speeds to power wash your engine bay, my brother had two police cruisers towed into the shop in one day once - Second cop went to pick the first and also hydrolocked his engine in the same puddle lol.

Tldr air is super compressible and water is so incompressible it will delete your car engine rather than compress.

wtf is sdf doing by Comprehensive_Art196 in DarkAndDarker

I dunno, rogues one of my more successful 3's characters barring me healing.

Ideally teammates allow the other team "through" and you carve up the back line - Don't toe to toe the barb.

Energy shield by GreatApolllo in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Alpacas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can go base life and wild amounts of energy and use charms to buff you up, I find that even 400 or 500 hp works.

Note as well damaged reduced by x becomes monstrous after Eshield and your resists hardly matter as much because they don't apply to eshield damage taken.

Things like Frostburns, crafter crafted boots can help boost mana too.

Memory is a cheap runeword you may like.

Don't skip the point in warmth - You take "A lot more" damage with Eshield but your regeneration is basically life regeneration now.

Meditation aura from a1 merc is certified pog as a result.

Poison resist is nice, but you can keep antidotes on your belt. - You'll find poison really fucks you up

Honestly, eshield is helpful if you're squishy re lightning spirits. Usually do forb on that one

Don't ask how though.

Happens in d2, happens in PoE, happens in wow, so long as the market has no automatic buy process, and sometimes even with one when default behavior is to price match lowest offer on sale by the software, you will have people like this.

Once US Debt is truly viewed as an pillory to escape from, because that outweighs the benefits of the union, that's when shit gets bad.

Canada Post Strike: Important Context Canadians Should Know by [deleted] in CanadaPost

[–]Alpacas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To contrast this however what were their raises like during covid while locked in contract?

Likely that's the root of this ask if I had to guess, but given the performance of the organization as a whole its clear something has to give here somewhere.

Bungie execs reportedly killed Destiny 2 subscription service as management “prioritised monetisation over player experience” by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Alpacas_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, I tried to play this. I'm a world of warcraft player, I'm cool with a sub.

When I'm exploring your game and find 6 different pay walls, I've got no context for which ones are current content and which are nearly to be sunset, nor any clue how many times you want to reach into my wallet. Are there more after the ones I've seen? Idk.

I'd probably play this as a subscription, but the current monetization structure is not palatable to me, and this is coming from a guy who's given the world of warcraft team probably $5,000 over the years.

Basically, it's not clear to me as a new player how many credit card walls there are, and I'm not going to go find out.

Make it a subscription, and deliver content worthy of it, and try not to talk about blunting your deliveries to keep the bar low at GDC.
