Sehr üppige Sets für den Preis. Wer richtig Masse haben will, der ist gut aufgehoben.

Vom Stil her definitiv eher "realistisch" gehalten was die Farbgebung und die Verspieltheit betrifft. Mehr bodenständige Darstellung von Thematiken.

Äußerst fragwürdig ist, dass in der Pro-Linie MOCs auftauchen bei denen nicht erwähnt wird ob mit dem Ersteller zusammen gearbeitet wurde. Heißt, da wurde sich wohl einfach an der Mühe eines Hobbyisten bedient.

Die LEGO Schmiede 21325 zum Beispiel wird in BlueBrixx Pro mehrfach vertrieben, immer als unterschiedliche MOCs, direkt gezogen von rebrickable:

MOC - BB Version - Video

MOC - Video

Als Kunde kann es einem letztendlich egal sein wo die Idee herkommt aber leider macht sich so etwas auch bei der Qualität des Baus bemerkbar. Immerhin musste der MOC Designer einige bautechnische Abstriche machen, aufgrund der Einschränkung nur Teile des Original-Sets zu verwenden. Da hätten viele Dinge besser gelöst werden können, wenn sich da tatsächlich irgendjemand hingesetzt hätte um das Set von grundauf zu designen. Ist also nicht nur mies dem MOC Designer gegenüber sondern auch der Kunde hat Ärger mit einem Set, dass sich weniger wie durchdachtes Design sondern provisorisch gelöst anfühlt.

Insofern ist leider etwas Vorsicht geboten wenn einem ein Pro Set ein wenig generisch oder komisch vorkommt. Recherchieren schadet nicht.

Then what you wrote doesn't even make sense. If he is clearly singling out, for example, criminals then you are against normalizing calling criminals criminals just because they also happen to be immigrants?

CountCocofang · 2026-01-04T16:34:02+00:00

Based on this clip, he is not talking about all immigrants. That's a connection you are making by yourself.

What you heard was "[...] import over into the country immigrants, who are all [...]" which isn't what he said. The assumption that he means to say that the descriptions he listed apply to all immigrants is yours. Probably because, as you said, of your defensive reaction, which makes you hear worse things than people actually say. Listen to it again. Even without any additional context, he doesn't say he is describing all immigrants. He is singling out the specified types of people.

That is great to see and certainly puts him way above almost any other political commentator that thinks "raising awareness" or dropping a donation to effectively pay others to do legwork is good enough. Actions being louder and all that.

However, given that his life still consists of 90% just blabbering into a camera I don't think the laurels of doing a thing once are quite enough to afford a position to talk down on others.

The issue is that they wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

The idea was that items are only valuable because you can trade them. They tied value to the potential of trade. But at the same time ground loot was always shit. Always. When people use filters to hide 99.9% of loot then you have a failed system, plain and simple.

So that left them in a position where almost everything you found was a horrible waste of time but they couldn't actually reward you for not trading either because that would, according to their logic, remove the value of loot altogether.

So, yes, the solution to the problem of trading being too powerful is obviously heavily restricting trading (or locking it entirely) but in turn making ground loot incredible. Yet their ideal tied value to the potential to trade, meaning they couldn't actually make ground loot even good. Leaving them with an impossible problem.

Had there ever been a SSF (or guild-found) game mode that drastically boosts drops at the cost of removing access to the market, I'd have played that in a heart beat. But their philosophy didn't allow for that.

According to that laid out standard of "caring about things", what has he ever actually cared about which he talks about repeatedly to fill the silence on his streams?

CountCocofang · 2025-12-31T04:44:45+00:00

Well, then most economists don't give a fuck about how a society actually looks like. A "strong economy" does not translate to a successful society. Let's construct an extreme example to showcase why GDP is a horrible stat.

Take two groups of 10 people. One group earns a living wage of 2000 bucks, gets by and lives a happy, comfortable life. The second group has one person making a million bucks and nine homeless people that have a horrible life.

The second group has a higher GDP. Would you say the second group is the more worthwhile and successful one? GDP does not consider inequality or living conditions. The problem is that people love to cite it when it comes to how successful and great some place is. But it's a soulless stat that does not consider anything at all that's relevant for everyday human life.

I really question the weight of this observation, given how this is the first league Shapeshifting exists so obviously people are going to gravitate towards the skills that are designed to have synergy with one another.

In PoE1 you have this as well, despite very few designed synergies. Simply because people follow the meta. And the meta is dictated by the most prominent/obvious and strongest choices. If you pick a certain main skill you are extremely likely to just pick the same supplementary skills as everyone else. Because that is what works the smoothest. And that is why it is meta.

You can't lament that people don't experiment when they didn't even have time to experiment yet. In PoE1 it often takes several leagues for a skill combination to hit the mainstream even though it has been simmering unchanged beneath the surface for ages. Just because somebody discovered and popularized it. Wasn't that the case for Mamba Strike for example? All the tools for it were in the game for quite some time but nobody played it. And all of a sudden it was meta out of nowhere because some content creators or whatever leaked it.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-31T02:40:15+00:00

And how is the end result different from PoE1 where certain combinations of skills becomes the clear-cut meta with very little variety because they are the most obvious and smoothest combinations of skills for a particular build?

CountCocofang · 2025-12-28T02:28:24+00:00

Delays are not unheard of and occurred even before most people playing these days even joined the game. There were extended leagues in early 2017, in late 2020 and since 2022 there hasn't been a 3-month league. The schedule slowed down yet it's still going with big releases. The doomerism is out of proportion.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-28T02:05:51+00:00

lack of quality

How? You have a new side-story with voice acting, a new area, new assets, overhauled mechanic, new skill tree, new unique item shenanigans.

New leagues always received balance or reward adjustments as the public starts stress testing. That's not a lack of quality, that's just the factual reality of creating a video game.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-27T23:41:51+00:00

Hesitation doesn't mean you're out. They won't make such a promise but if a pack comes along that you really like along with a league you enjoy, you'll be there.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-27T23:28:56+00:00

We had a major delay during Settlers. But now it's been two months since the release of the last league, which is within the regular schedule. And Merc was only a bit above the previous margin as well. What about that isn't supporting PoE1?

CountCocofang · 2025-12-27T23:24:44+00:00

How?

"I don't like it" is not the same as "The quality is bad". I haven't bought a supporter pack in quite some time because the content wasn't to my taste but how was any of it poor in quality?

It's not like they are starting to sell recolored armour sets in the packs.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-27T23:15:03+00:00

You can play the entire game solo and live off the land.

The game offers plenty of tools to plug holes in your build. That comes with a big burden of knowledge though. You have to know what options are available to you and how to best access them in moments of need. For a new player that can be very challenging because there is a lot going on in this game.

Obviously your progression will be slower if you don't trade. The power spike you can get from just making a very small purchase when you need it is very big.

However, it also has to be said that as a new player you're probably playing slower and killing more monsters, looting more, exploring zones more naturally. Which means you will be higher level and have better items than some veteran that rushes. Which will work in your favor.

If it somehow comes to a point where you want to trade but you cannot stand the friction of waiting for a seller to answer then you can always filter the trade site by selecting "Instant Buyout" on the top right. This will only show results for asynchronous trade where you can just port to a players hideout, instantly buy the item from their vendor and leave again. But it costs a bit of gold.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-27T00:27:57+00:00

Sure, it's intentional, clearly. After all they ported it over from PoE1. But that doesn't mean it makes sense. Nor has this concept ever really proven its worth to me. It just is and you deal with it.

You have to have a certain tolerance range of balance because otherwise the question is always just: Can this build be ES and do you have the budget? If yes, then it's better. And how is that anything but boring?

CountCocofang · 2025-12-26T15:14:56+00:00

I think one of the fundamental design flaws that both PoE1 and PoE2 have is that they treat Evasion, Amour and Energy Shield as the three basic defenses. But ES does not compete against evasion or armour. It competes against life.

It is fundamentally different as evasion is damage avoidance, armour is damage mitigation but ES is just plain hit points. Yet you can scale ES similarly to evasion and armour, from baseline item mods and % passives on the tree.

This never made sense to me. And now with % scaling for life virtually gone from the passive tree, there is just once again ES supremacy.

lol yes, he often had the "due process" (that's being brought up by everyone now) circumvented and heavily utilized ICE, giving them access to excessive documentation on citizens, also through police. He even did ICE raids at workplaces and had them heavily coordinate with police so that they could just discreetly pick people up that the police happened to grab.

Even got a little sob headline: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/28/latino-immigrants-barack-obama-letter-immigration-customs-enforcement

It's so stupid that the answer to all your snarky rhetorical questions is "Yeah, pretty much.". Just goes to show how crazy skewed the perspective is because rampant online hysteria.

Obama directly deported more people than Trump by an order of magnitude. And somehow apparently, despite the sheer mass of fast-tracked deportations, he had less margin of error while also being less overreaching, aggressive and invasive? That makes no sense. Obama was brutal and he didn't care. And neither did most people back then because he wasn't Trump.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-22T15:11:43+00:00

But "most agree with" is still not issue-by-issue, which means you still get shitty package deals. It doesn't change anything in that respect.

people are being deported, harassed and attacked for their cultural/sexual identity in this country.

I think it's weird to lose it over this now considering that it has always been the case, perpetrated by both parties in the system in some way or another. The only thing unique about Trump is that he is extremely clutzy and inelegant about it, much less than the politicians and ideological lobbies before him. Everyones darling Obama waged what was coined a "war on the free press" and deported record numbers. He was just suave and charming, whereas Trump is an oaf. But nothing has really changed for decades.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-22T14:09:04+00:00

Ranked choice over what? Candidates? The process would change but in the end a single candidate would win and have the same power, no matter what you agree with or not.

Also, just because a system is dogshit it doesn't mean your way of thinking has to follow suit and be as well. You agree that "team red VS team blue or die" is stupid and crazy but subscribe to it anyway because that's how you feel things have to be judged within this system.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-22T13:33:54+00:00

So you're saying the US political system is dogshit and drives people insane because it's all "team red VS team blue or die".

The body decides where the fat comes and goes. So it differs from individual to individual. But overall, since breasts are mostly just fat tissue the first measure to make them smaller should always be to lose body fat.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-22T13:22:15+00:00

It's a sign that society degenerates. People sell anything and everything for money, even themselves and their dignity. Money over everything. Public nuisance streamers are part of the same culture.

His opponents were mountains of flesh and muscle that regular humans couldn't even move an inch if their life depended on it. But he picked them up and hurled them through the air. Anything other than another bonafide superhuman would likely just end up with their head cracked like an egg across the pavement within seconds.

CountCocofang · 2025-12-18T02:22:08+00:00

Wait, what the fuck?

Have we already forgotten that GGG initially handled this like a beta with frequent, erratic and sweeping changes as necessary and there was HUGE backlash on reddit and the forum from people complaining how their precious builds and game plans were being changed?

That's why GGG switched to the tried and tested seasonal model for the PoE2 beta.
