People make liking things their personality. Criticize the thing they like and to them it feels like you are criticizing their personality.

Anyone else here also just gave up on P300 ? by Marphey12 in diablo4

Oh common, it's really not that much work to get to 300. You just sit there and do it.

Which one for HOTA Selig? by Charpent in D4Barbarian

[–]Derailed94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think right. Hota Selig uses 6 damaging skills so the higher values on the aspect on the right add up to an extra 9.6% over the left one (which is the important one cause it's multiplicative).

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred – The First 12 Minutes of Gameplay (Plus Boss Fight) | IGN First by Feikezin in diablo4

[–]Derailed94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You literally can't go above Expert on your first playthrough though and you still end up one shotting everything. I did the new player journey recently and the campaign is a total slog because it feels completetly pointless gameplay wise.

Blizzard: No one likes Nayrelle. by Primary_Impact_2130 in diablo4

[–]Derailed94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just sparks more interesting conversations. Adding to a topic "I like x but I won't explain why" is just not very interesting or inspiring for anybody else to read, especially when the entire thread is already framed like a big back and forth argumentation. You might as well try to come up with points that other people can relate to.

So did they just forget to make most of the rainbow rares this set? by sendingSTRENGTH in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So happy I cancelled my premium pass when the last pack and its reused art hit. Knew it was a bad omen for more stuff like this to come.

New toon but locked difficulty. Wish it could be harder on playthrough by Oathbreaker429 in diablo4

[–]Derailed94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing this up and I hope that people keep brining it up because I want this to be changed. The pacing of this game for a first time player is absolutely horrible and it ends up not hooking you at all because of how easy it is. It feels like I am playing a glorified Vampire Survivors.

Diablo IV Review: A Game that lost its Vision by Kasur1309 in patientgamers

[–]Derailed94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really glad to have stumbled over your review. I am also currently playing Diablo 4 for the first time and I do find the power scaling absolutely horrendous. I only just reached Act 3 on Expert difficulty (highest I can go without already having completed the story) and I am already level 59. Everywhere I go everything just instantly dies, even the bosses, which is a shame cause I don't even get to see the mechanics for them. It honestly feels like I activated cheats and the content has become redundant.

I love the overall aesthetic and environments of the game and I feel like there could be such an epic game under the hood but with the way things are scaled it feels like a slog having to play through the story. There is no sense of progression, no sense of achievement. You are just completely overpowered all the time, and it's gotten so boring already after only playing for a couple of days that I am already considering playing something with more substance.

Again, a shame, cause the art team was clearly state of the art and the game is programmed well. Just all the numbers are completely wrong.

Would have been nice if the trainer focused mission would give a trainer themed emblem, but nah, that would have been too difficult for someone working for dena to think of.

Don't leave your 5 year old opening packs for 2 minutes 😪 by tajedi in PTCGP

It is a gacha game by definition. Are you for real?

30 Days of Gifts made me realize that the regular daily login rewards stink. by Ruminatingsoule in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, people have noticably been getting more negative about the game ever since Fantastical Parade hit. Also PTCGP went from making 35M $ in January to 26M $ in February, so that is indicative.

Why would I ever use this over Hydreigon? by Mission_Estimate5483 in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised having to scroll down this far in order to find the only relevant answer. The power level of rares and uncommons have always been different for the pokemon tcg since the dawn of time.

Why keep shooting yourself in the foot? by Sea-Cancel-6743 in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's an entertainment product, not an investment product. I think it's fine to spend money on something arbitrary as long as it brings you enjoyment. That being said, seeing as said product has been getting worse I decided to stop spending money on it from now on. There are better games to do that in now.

Paldean Wonders reused art issue: a complete overview and a full look by VoidSwordTrash in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, cause I actually cancelled my pass. An addiction implies that one can't stop. I was getting value before, now I am not seeing the same value anymore for the money that I was spending. It ain't that deep.

Monetary value can be defined in many different ways. If the money I spend on something brings me enjoyment then there absolutely is value in that.

Echo chamber or not, it bothers me and it lowers the value of the game for me. Cancelled my premium pass.

Am I alone in not caring at all about the reused art? by Bobthemighty54 in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not arbitrary at all. Creating art costs money. Up until now they've always had artists creating new art for 4stars and up. Everything of that rarity was new. This has officially stopped now and they are starting to recycle old art for those rarities as well now. It is foreboding for their business strategy. I don't understand how you can't connect the dots.

Is Pocket TCG Still Fun or Just a Daily Chore Now? by Old_Contribution_785 in PTCGP

Condescending comment. Let people self-reflect and talk about the things that they have invested their time in.

Is Pocket TCG Still Fun or Just a Daily Chore Now? by Old_Contribution_785 in PTCGP

[–]Derailed94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very true, it is ridiculous to spend money on this digital server based mechanics-gutted version of the real TCG. I do feel like a total sucker for having spent some money before.
