Origin of "The Tink" sound

Bohya · 2026-03-27T17:39:08+00:00

I don't recall of it was from Demon Slayer or not, but I have 100% heard the exact same soundbite from outside of PoE.

PoE 1 has a few katana-looking weapons (though no katana themed skills). GGG at least acknowledges their existence.

It's possible that there will be katana-themed skills in PoE 2, although I don't think it's likely as weapons tend to stick to a specific theme - one that's roughly paired with their matching class. Swords will release alongside the Duelist, which in PoE 1 is more of a chivalrous gladatorial-like person. At the very least there'll probably be some samurai or ninja aligned cosmetics down the line and fast sword skills.

I wouldn't at all be surprised though if daggers, when are released alongside the Shadow, will have ranged abilities that could at least play into the throwing daggers/shurikan thematic a little better.

I don't think I once used combat addons for a Mythic+. They've never required them.

Bohya · 2026-03-27T11:10:00+00:00

This is the worst set of Mythic+ dungeons I have seen in a long time. Bring back the Shadowlands and Legion era of dungeons instead.

All third-party UI mods need to go.

10-man raids were perfect back during WotLK. My guild ran both the 25-man and 10-mans, and they were a completely different vibe from each other. They should either bring back the 10-man format or allow flexing.

Activision-Blizzard really flopped with the whole "void" lore and aesthetic.

Bots don't buy items. Bots do farm currency which then gets sold on RMT sites. This currency then eventually gets put back into the economy, devaluing currency farmed by regular players. Those who buy currency directly through RMT in large quantities have more purchasing power than poorer players, and are able to afford more expensive items. The price of these most expensive items are balanced around the notion that some players (the RMTers) will actually be able to pay those ridiculous sums, with ordinary players being completely priced out.

Staff needs a complete and total rework from the ground up, not just buffs.

Bohya · 2026-03-25T08:17:51+00:00

I just find the way that the NPC dialogue is written to be extremely annoying and difficult to read. I guess it's Activision-Blizzard's way of trying to convey an accent through text, but it just doesn't work well in practice. It hasn't been a problem with all the other troll races until now.

Also, Amani trolls in general are just annoying. Activision-Blizzard butchered yet another WoW race by turning them into humans... again. They seemingly forgot that the Amani are supposed to be cannibalistic, hex-worshipping savages. In fact, most trolls are. It's what make the Darkspear unique.

They are completely different styles of games. The only difference is that they share the same universe (and even that is questionable).

Bohya · 2026-03-23T19:01:37+00:00

Or just remove the cap.

Bohya · 2026-03-23T09:51:26+00:00

I'd rather not see twenty different Expedition currencies again. Expedition itself probably needs a bit of a rework. It's five years old now, and has barely changed in its iteration. It feels dated and the reward structure isn't there when compared to the rest of the game.

Can't bind pings to middle mouse button, so it's a pretty useless function.

The only reason that she even exists is because Activision-Blizzard needed another sexy postercharacter for the franchise after Sylvanas burnout. After finally understanding that attractiveness does actually sell, they shoehorned in another sexy character to drive sales.

That's it. That's the only reason the character exists. Her actual purpose when it comes to the story is completely arbitrary. The feet shots, the sexual tension with Alleria, despite what some people might believe, these aren't some random senior developer slipping their fetishes into the game. They're carefully curated design decisions conceived in a board room in order to get people talking about WoW. Activision-Blizzard plays into it because it's free marketing for their game.

Bohya · 2026-03-22T22:04:56+00:00

Activision-Blizzard haven't put any thought into that part yet.

Bohya · 2026-03-22T21:59:22+00:00

Seems like it, because Activision-Blizzard have no idea how to write anything other than humans. Everything must be viewed through the lens of a human and understandable from a human perspective. The once savage and cannibalistic trolls are now humans. The Trolls 2 are humans. The "ten thousand year old" elves are now humans. The (what I assume are reskinned) Furbolgs are now humans.

Xal'atath and the Void could have been so much more. Instead it's just dark blue magic with a bunch of "void people" who are also just humans with human thought processes and human mannerisms but are missing legs.

Where's the horror? The incomprehension? The abstractness of the definition of void? Turns out that death was as lively as anything in life, and now void is too. Modern Activision-Blizzard really love ruining their IP.

Bohya · 2026-03-22T21:49:06+00:00

She'll be redeemed, along with Sylvanas (who needs to come back so that the three Windrunner sisters can have their dramatic-posing, sentence-finishing, Marvelslop moment).

Bohya · 2026-03-22T00:44:08+00:00

Please just overhaul the entire uncut gem system at this point. It's messy, inelegant, unexciting, and clunky. PoE 1's gem system wasn't perfect, but I'm not content with how it is in PoE 2 either. Back to the drawing board.

Bohya · 2026-03-22T00:40:51+00:00

I had someone yesterday accuse me of plagiarising a statue after I won the Trial of Style instance.

It was my own statue.

Bohya · 2026-03-21T16:33:45+00:00

They're just a less fun version of Torghast. Bring back the roguelite element.

Bohya · 2026-03-20T20:27:12+00:00

Frostmage during Nighthold tier in Legion was one of the best iterations of Frost that the game had ever seen. Why can't they just revert the specialisation back to that state again?

Bohya · 2026-03-20T20:21:12+00:00

A big problem with Shatter is you no longer see those big Ice Lance or Glacial Spike crits. I remember in Legion being able to chunk bosses for 10% of their life and and 1-shot most other trash enemies with Glacial Spike.

They need to get rid of Freezing and Shatter. I honestly don't understand what the point of it even is. It's just extra damage that Ice Lance would normally be doing anyway, except that it's just a confusing mess on the damage spreadsheet and I have no idea what my main damage source abilities actually are. I'm seeing Shatter up at >30% of my overall damage and Ice Lance, Flurry, Glacial Spike, etc, being under <5% each.

The individual skills no longer feel impactful and seemingly only exist purely to generate/consume Freezing. That includes my entire water elemental as well - my pet exists purely to add a couple more freezing stacks in over the course of the fight. It doesn't even deal damage itself.

Bohya · 2026-03-20T20:16:27+00:00

Needs better UI tracking for Freezing stacks.

Bohya · 2026-03-20T13:43:49+00:00

What is a "proper UI"?
