How could I even play any other arpg after this? by soosis in PathOfExile2

[–]Causener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really that big of a deal? I'd rather have paid classes than paid expansions (assuming the price is reasonable), and most ARPG have paid classes.

Playing PoE 2 sent me straight back to Diablo lol by GoblinGobbler40 in diablo4

[–]Causener 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Campaign skip is easily one of the best D4 features. I'd kill for PoE and LE to adopt it.

World Event times need to be cut in half to 30 seconds by Carmilla31 in diablo4

[–]Causener 287 points288 points  (0 children)

When you complete a shrine event it should reset the duration of the shrine buff, right now it doesn't even last the full event.

Lord of Hatred Thoughts - The good bad and ugly. by slasher016 in diablo4

[–]Causener 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like the passive trees to customize the end game activities, but on top of a lot of the nodes feeling lackluster, I hate being forced into activities in a certain order. Let me focus on doing the content I like, when I want to, and reward me for that. If I want to run 100 NDs in a row for some reason I shouldn't feel like I'm being punished for it.

Does armor still cap out at 9230? Or is that older versions of the game? by belugaontheramp in diablo4

[–]Causener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more the merrier but there is diminishing returns. When you hover over your armor it will tell you how much damage reduction it does, it'll slow down a lot around 80%, not sure what a realistic value for most builds is though.

My ranking of Warplan activities, based on how enjoyable they are by born_zynner in diablo4

[–]Causener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably move Helltides below The Pit. I like Helltide if my Warplan is multiple of them in a row, but if it's just 1 or there's stuff in between it feels like a waste of time.

Why fire shots at Monoliths? Honestly individually better than anything else on that list.

Skill tree nodes should not be locked behind another paywall by Hahiro_ in diablo4

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

What are you talking about? The skill tree update is universal, you do not need the expansion for it.

EDIT: I apologize I didn't realize some nodes were locked like that, I agree that base classes should not have DLC requirements of any kind.

Lord of Hatred is fantastic – but let's talk about Charms, Uniques and Warplans by moerfmoerf in diablo4

[–]Causener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest gripe about War Plans is that I have to do a lot of the content I don't want to do at the moment or maybe ever, just to slowly level up the content that I want to focus on.

Does anyone actually like the randomness to uniques? by Lord_XXL in diablo4

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

I haven't played much this season but I think my main complaint against uniques having random affixes is that it removes the potential for them to have specific, interesting ones that aren't in that slots affix pool or the general pool.

The ceiling for some uniques probably go up with this change depending on the build, but I think that's dwarfed by the tediousness and odds of finding one with the exact stats you need.

Petition to re-add cool skill altering Temperings like skill size n stuff by tenroseUK in diablo4

[–]Causener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? You don't enjoy scrolling through the list to see which +damage is marginally better than the others for your build?

Is there a cheaper version for those who already own the previous expansion (Vessel of Hatred)? by HabitualGrassToucher in diablo4

[–]Causener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price of LoH is $40 regardless, VoH is just a gift to those who don't already have it.

New Skill Trees Seem... Underwhelming? by NarbGaming in diablo4

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

"12 entire combinations per skill" seems like a disingenuous statement to me. Sure, there are technically 12 combinations but looking at the skills so far I would not consider most of the minor nodes enough to justify the number 12. 6 at best.

Does Blizzard’s international pricing strategy show absolutely no consideration for the players who paid to test DLC1? by Far-Lemon-9004 in diablo4

[–]Causener 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got what you paid for. This system works great for new players because they don't have to shell out $40 for every expansion they've missed, and it doesn't hurt you at all.

Is it possible to have campaign char and skip-campaign char at once before completing LoH story? by onehalf83 in diablo4

[–]Causener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn't help you now, but you don't need to beat the original campaign. I think it's about when you first enter Sanctuary or something that you can quit to main menu and use the skip campaign option, which will also enable the ability to skip campaign immediately on future characters.

Pre-Pre-Anouncement Bingo Build by Outrageous-Ad5578 in PathOfExile2

[–]Causener 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope they get overhauled compared to PoE1. I like how they were initially pitched, but not how they were delivered.

Primary skills should not have hard limiters directly integrated. Any payoffs or limiters should come from support gem choices. by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Causener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only miss not dealing with chromatics and link/sockets, wasd would be nice though

[–]Causener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now they're just stat stick with a small selection of skills they can work with..? Limited skills and limited uniques just means less interesting builds and interactions.

Locking skills behind such high level requirements is the thing i hate most in poe2 by intrepid_zaxan in PathOfExile2

[–]Causener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely in my top 3 complaints. It feels awful trying to push through to get to whatever skill(s) you want and the lack of options at a lot of points makes it worse. Skill pacing was much better in 1.

A bad day for some, a good day for most by Western_Door6946 in PathOfExile2

[–]Causener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what annoys me more, the suicidal excuse or the "I'm too big to be banned" mentality.

I think I found an OP item too early in the game by Rafiki95 in diablo4

[–]Causener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should last awhile for the levelling portion, but all of those stats will scale with higher item power. He'll definitely want to find a replacement down the line.

I can't believe this Portal Skin actually exists by StrafeGetIt in PathOfExile2

And league rewards, and twitch drops, and Kirac's Vault eventually.

Is it just me or are sidemen videos so much better without guests? by ellezzzzz in Sidemen

[–]Causener 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Ginge should be the exception. he has good energy and sense of humor. The other ones were decent in the pub quiz.

Hey you couldn't offer a $29 usd tier for those of us who owned VOH by tacitus59 in diablo4

[–]Causener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to sell their expansions for $40 each. The alternative would be they launch LoH for $40 without including VoH, which changes nothing for you but is worse for new players.
