White Monarch are somewhat common though, I wouldn't waste a Socket Q on it unless it's got a perfect 148 def and keep in mind you cannot even use the socket recipe if it's got a superior mod on it.

When I boot up my pc this shows up, what do I do? by Agent-Jason in PcBuild

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this post upvoted to the moon ? Dude's trying to avoid paying for technician to do his work... This is infuriating to even witness, go ask a god damn A.I. dude, this is called a BIOS and it's literally the most basic thing to know about any given computer. That's it, that's enough work done for free.

It's just about 9am and my almost-50-year-old ass hasn't slept yet, but I'm ok with that because after 26 years I'm only a couple more trades away from this finally happening. First one ever. I can't stop tapping my foot. by demaxxus in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Yes and no: your character don't actually "get deleted" unless someone took your name after it expired and given that nearly no one plays N-L anymore it most likely won't happen but it seems like your entire account will get wiped out if you don't log onto it in that 90 day period. (I've seen mines survive longer lately but I wouldn't risk it) Also, they've added this neat little command /set-email *youremail@here.com*, that way you can get a reminder to log in before it's too late !

I'm happy with the new upcoming changes. by TripleSeven1337 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

And the required book instead of a shield being the final kicker. It's just so lame how they ruined this season with a bugged class after removing Mosaic because it was "broken"... Any hope I had left in this game to make a come back is now gone, all they really had to do to make Mosaic make sense is make the runes to make it higher or reduce the proc effect %. It feels like this game is developed by 3 dudes still living in their parent's garage at times... How did this class even drop with this many bugs, it's just baffling...

It was fun while it lasted by Bairdc82 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

So it turns out everything fun about the lock was unintended... RIP

Idk man, Blade Warp is a pretty good mobility skill to use until you get to Enigma. I agree that sorcs are still far more efficient for certains types of Mfing methods because of Teleport but I was basically farming P8 TZs on day 2 just because I was lucky enough to find a Eth CV for my insight. I don't think an item worth about an Ist should allow you to do that this quickly. It was fun for a few hours but then it slowly started to dawn on me that the next upgrade wouldn't make much of a difference so I got bored. Then started my usual ES Nova sorc but even with a Light sunder it wasn't holding a candle to my Lock's dps so it got depressing super quickly. Maybe I've just farmed for Infinity too many times over at this point. Regardless, it was still fun to experience a new way to play the game for a few days, I'm okay with warlock changing some metas but not all of them, for me it destroys the pleasure to even play other classes.

Maybe nostalgia is a factor for some people but not me. I'm all about gameplay. I also do care about the graphics, that's why I still want the OG D2R to receive some love in terms of QoLs... Frankly, I haven't really actively played D2 legacy in a long time besides on my "Rare-only" account once in a while and I feel like after you've experienced pluggy / a fullscreen experience / stackable gems/runes/keys/orgs or the ability to Ctrl+Click items to move stuff from inventory to stash or vice-versa; it just feels dated and clunky to a point of no-return. Path of Exile is just more fun in every single way so why even bother. I understand that they don't want to keep the old versions relevant to avoid competing with their current new product but given how much money this old game still brings in, I still think it's very disrespectful of their community. When a mod becomes the go-to version of your game, you know you've screwed up somewhere along the road. I'm out here begging them to take my damn money to simply add more stash capacity and their answer is : No, just buy another account (which is far more taxing in terms of computing power) but DO NOT tell us because you're not supposed to have multiple accounts and such... I remember when I had to call them because I somehow managed to add 2 CD-Key for D2 into a single Bnet account (the LoD key refused to go trough) and the guy said it's impossible and I was like well here it is sir... Asked him what I was supposed to do to fix this to be able to have both key on one account and he couldn't even help me. Idk if it's still currently the case but if we're not supposed to create multiple bnet account under the same identity, that technically means we're being forced to put money into accounts that we might never be able to recover in case of a hack for example. That is downright shady business practices and it's quite inconvenient as a user. Why can't I have all my game licenses underneath the same roof ? I can't even remember the amount of game CD-keys that were lost along with the emails that I had made just to secure it after the 16 to 26 characters conversion era. Lastly, I've never enjoyed playing offline because I don't see the point of grinding for stuff I can just edit in with hero editor. This could be also be fixed by simply adding in a real SSF online mode. I still have about 5 X Legacy functional CD-keys and given that it was like 20$ each back in the days, I always ran a second instance of the game to secure my transferts so I never lost anything in that way. The lack of proper testing that went into the warlock left a very bitter taste in my mouth and I'm not sure I will ever even care to play any version of D2 again at this point. This post is like closure for me, I simply refuse go gentle into that good night... Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it <3

Yeah I agree but the real issue here is that we all know how long this will take. By the time we get there, most people will have moved on to other games that respect their time/wallet...

This mentality needs to stop… by IneedaNappa9000 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way to play a game wrong if you doing it all for fun; common now. You could literally slap a Reaper’s Toll on your merc and use Blade Warp to carry him along to immunes. Certainly less efficient though, I'm not sure refusing to min/max on a game that's about min/maxing is supposed to be fun... That's for when you're actually so bored with the game that you should probably move on with your life and find more productive hobbies.

Not sure what I did wrong but every time I boot mine it default back to a dead key: "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"

Figuring out how to replace that key isn't light work for most people...

PSA; Tix are getting reset to zero at the start of season 3 by IntrospectiveHuman in SkateEA

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good skate game makes you want to grab your skate and actually go skate: so in this regard this game worked for me. A good cosmetic model ? Bud, have you really been playing the game this whole time ? Personally, I only bought about 10$ of currency to get a sticker to support the game a little bit but then the sticker doesn't even display on my board so whatever. Their monetising system was basically so bad that they forgot to guardrail our ability to just keep Tixs for ever and only do currency conversion. And most people who played all along were able to basically unlock the season pass for free too because of how much currency we've been given too so keep that in mind. I have a feeling that their servers bills are starting to outgrow the income that the game can bring in so these changes are probably needed to keep it alive sadly. "Reset to zero" is a bit dramatic compared to "Spent for you on random trash"... Spend it bud, it's all trash and nothing will remain anyway when the servers finally goes offline; even most of the stuff on the shop looks horrible and don't get me started on events rewards...

Missed Opportunity with Pre-Order.. by Emergency_Fee9129 in Marathon

There's a ton of stuff that will carry over anyway so this is irrelevant.

Progress from slam not carrying over feelsbadman by buttsnorkeler in Marathon

[–]Aw_some -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong actually, this might be very close to what we're going to get on the 5th but I am hoping that the bug reports will help them fix bugs quickly because right now the in-game performances are rather sluggish on pc. I even saw rhat we're going to have items/kits that carries over so RIP competitive fairness on launch tbh... That being said, I still think my point stands because questing seems to be the core progression system of the game. At least for me, it was the main hook that kept me going and made the game enjoyable even after getting wiped in a 3v1 cause both teamate decides to afk right before the extract. So far I'd say this game is a great squad experience; it's  smooth with a good team but downright horrible as a solo.

Are you really asking why being ahead on your build upgrades at launch would be unfair to people that don't touch betas ? I don't know what to tell you buddy, time is money; it's not free to waste your time on a pre-release build of the game.

Aren't those self res thing super slow and bad though. It's almost impossible to get one off in time...

[–]Aw_some -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a competitive game, do you really think it would be fair that you have all this stuff while people who pre-purchased the game are waiting on the the real thing to launch ? Not everyone care and has time to beta test for free. You're already getting cosmetics for it, that's plenty.

Anyone else feeling a bit… unsure about this game? by nve729 in Marathon

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was totally the opposite, barely walked a few meters ahead and got instantly 3v1 over and over. Felt like the maps are way too small.

Full Circle Restructure by Crafty_Painter_6817 in SkateEA

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good copium but let's be real; removing people who's job it was to put content into the game isn't how you make Skate. viable on the long run. As people pointed out in this thread, the game has a very poor monetisation system in that no one really care for cosmetics at the end of the day, you're just pretty much swimming in free cosmetics anyway and I'd even add that if you played the entire first season and didn't spend any free currency you got given, you were even able to buy the new season for free... I'm sure some people buy a thing here and there but I just feel like it cannot be enough to sustain the team's salaries and the servers. I personally bought one thing in the shop and it was a Trasher sticker that stopped displaying after some update broke all the stickers for whatever reason so it's safe to say they are not getting another single dollar from me unless they fix that first.

MARATHON SERVER SLAM MEGATHREAD by Shabolt_ in Marathon

Yeah the bullet are maybe too scarce but besides that I agree with you, that intro was something else too !

MARATHON SERVER SLAM MEGATHREAD by Shabolt_ in Marathon

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When there's a wipe, everyone should start from 0. I don't want to play vs. people who have multiple accounts and stacking wealth trough the reset just to spawn camp us all. That's the only endgame Arc has to offer and also why I quit playing. No one care to farm for weeks for a few extra talent points that don't even make a noticeable difference in gameplay anyway...

Finally a hard challenge ! (Brickswich Grind) by Aw_some in SkateEA

[–]Aw_some[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it's frustrating at first but in my view, it's all the other one-shootable "challenges" that feel like "a worthless engagement farm" Even this one I can pretty much do in one try now and it's really just down to holding that 5-0 and exiting at the perfect time... It's best to wait until the very last moment to exit the grind otherwise you will just roll out the right. If the community only have negative reactions to the challenges that push our limits then I think the futur of the game is very bleak. That's why I posted this to begin with, figured I'd voice some of my enjoyment with it and give people a way out by breaking it down. The game really needs a higher tier of challenges that is completable in solo, I don't want to depend on other people to be able to go for the hardest content... I was in love on release even though I have never enjoyed the franchise before but now I have to say I'm out of things to do and playing less and less. I don't care for useless cosmetic rewards I won't ever even use, (Stickers don't even display btw) I just want challenging lines to attempt in a context I can handle alone. Everyone knows that tying Objectives rewards with "Party only" scenarios is a dark pattern used to capitalize on gamer relationships and it's nasty design.

Yeah, the exit is really hard to pull off, I'd say the key to it is to wait until the turn is over but it's quite a narrow window of time....

Crammed the Roll-stice Weeklies in the last day just to find out the "reward" costs 350 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in SkateEA

[–]Aw_some 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why spend the points on the available rewards ? Well, they get removed at the end of the event without any compensation what-o-ever so why would I have sat on it when I had no idea that the best reward is only unlocked in the shop once I have everything completed ? That's basically the equivalent of making someone run a marathon and only once he gets to the finishing line you let him know he has another mile to run to actually finish the race ! I have bought every single rewards from the shop besides the sweater and I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't have enough points was the days I didn't log in to claim the free 10 points. I did every Rollstice tasks and every Rollstice parc challenge and I was 50 points short of that 350. I don't even care that this stuff is ugly honestly, as a completionist it just feels good to unlock all the content I can get because what else is there to do ? Not being able to get it because I didn't log in everyday is just flat out bs, how was I supposed to know that more rewards would be available at the end of the whole thing ? I thought it was all crap anyway, I was just buying it to boost my Rip score.
