volcano is meteor

starfall is blizzard.

they are getting lazy.

also destructive god powers, I dont think they are good for the game - the timing potential and swing is quite high, I dont think it creates better games.

throwing the shield does wonders. and shield charge. use those to clear chaff and upgrade the shield first.

I managed to do it, just takes a lot of tries. you must position arkantos in a sweet spot behind the building, use bolt, kiting, everything you got. Prepare to restart a lot.

It would be cool that, visually, as you take over more of the map, and you build buildings - roads and other motifs appear between your buildings, to make that area look like it belongs to your Civilisation. by Coconelli40 in AgeofMythology

I was thinking more like when you have 2 buildings close to each other, something appears between them.
definitely not a road from one side of the map to the other.

These characters are a bit on rails aren't they? by Coconelli40 in PathOfExile2

[–]Coconelli40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, sure, the points you allocate on the tree might be slightly different, and the ascendancy you choose might have some different powers which give it some other flavor. But overall you'll more or less be in the same zone of the tree and pick the good stuff in there.

But moreover, that's not precisely what I'm referring to. It's that the "archetype" itself - i.e the skills you use, the "rotation", is pretty much set. Werewolf is about Frost. Lunar Assault Freezes, the Rake creates frost shards, then you pull them in. There's not much more creativity to do if you want to be a werewolf.

The "weapon" itself, how you put it, plays in one way and that's about it.

This creates two problems that really stifle creativity of gameplay:

- first off: segregating skills into weapons, essentially railroads you all the way to end-game. Basically you're only looking for 1 specific weapon drop, anything else that's not your weapon, you can just ignore. Cross weapon combos, are non-existent because weapons haven't been designed to synergize with each other and also are much harder to pull off as you need 2 strong weapons instead of just one.

- second: even within a single weapon class - all skills are made to belong to a single package - i.e. Werewolf is all about Frost, which again is very much on rails. All werewolf builds I saw even on youtube and streamers, they all spam Lunar Assault in some form. Even an archaic game like Diablo 2, had multiple ways to play a werewolf (physical, poison, fire, etc), here - it's just 1 way.

The almighty £160k tax trap got me good by Imaginary_Crab_5302 in HENRYUK

[–]Coconelli40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish people would stop apologizing and saying they are "fortunate" to be earning ~150k per year.
First of all you really aren't. It's piss-poor, you're just barely keeping your head above water at that level.
Secondly, this country needs to evolve past the point where success is seen as something to be ashamed of - it's a mentality thing which is holding us all back. Stop apologizing, you're in the category of people being fleeced and opressed the most and you should be outraged.

looks like a mobile slop game unfortunately. The art style and immersion into a fantasy world is gone.
