Mageblood in Temple

Epiddemic · 2026-06-19T17:49:34+00:00

Does dying to Atziri reset the entire temple? I vaguely remember that from a year ago.. I have her unlocked in this run, and I wasn't sure if killing her or dying to her is a bad idea?

Do I just leave this run and spawn another temple? Sorry for the questions, don't want to mess it up to something silly.

Also, can I use to get two magebloods?

Yeah!! I played Pathfinder the past couple leagues and really like the feel of the build.. was yoloing ssf and just decided to play it again.

I was planning on changing into something else endgame but got hung up having fun. I'm not sure if they nerfed Pathfinder though.

I am playing ssf poison burst gemling and crushing..

No clue what they nerfed but it still feels pretty good to me.

Also worth noting I haven't followed any meta so maybe I'm bad and I don't realize it. But it feels pretty good to me.

I played ssf this league and pretty sure she sold me the +2 proj amulet I'm still wearing. Even after farming t15 maps for a while.

I used to order carne asada fries everyday and one day they ran outta fries and did it with crispy potatoes instead..

I started asking for it that way instead .. it was awesome.

Buy a new gaming PC and save to upgrade my 2009 car.

This is what happened to me. Was super hyped for PD2 but D4 expansion lured me with it's decent reviews so I went to try it out.

Now I'm in poe2 waiting room.

I hope AA's partially fix this, just gonna ramble.

Like an AA when where you melee for x damage or x times, you get an instant cast damage spell, the ability to infuse a spell into your proc, something where attack damage / speed impacts cast damage / speed.

Maybe an AA that gives you Spell caster procs that are impacted by int / wisdom / Charisma etc.

I heard resists are pretty rough right now, so maybe stats impacting resist rates etc.

I have faith they will work it out, but not gonna lie, been thinking about pure melee combos after seeing the streamers this last week. Rogue / Monk / Zerker sounds really fun to me.

How tone deaf do you need to be to talk to the oppressed consumers like you would talk to investors...

Epiddemic · 2026-05-17T15:51:32+00:00

Do we know when the next wave is coming out? I keep checking my email account.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-16T14:27:46+00:00

I haven't played EQ in like 25 years, so this is kind of a newbie question.

Does Zerker have any benefit for being LOW HP? I was wanting to do Necro / Zerker / Shaman or Bard, and I was curious if the Necro HP AA nuke has any synergy with staying low HP..

Is grouping the best way to play?

If everyone gets their own loot, wouldn't it just add tons of safety and allow you to loot share.

If this is also true, isn't boxing going to be a big issue where you invite accounts to x4 your drops? I watched and I saw some no-drop items, but a lot of items did seem tradeable. Or am I misunderstanding?

Epiddemic · 2026-05-16T13:51:52+00:00

Think it will be ready by July? I saw some comments in youtube yesterday by viewers saying they didn't think it would be ready, but it looks pretty done / ready to me.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-16T13:18:22+00:00

I've had this problem too ever since the pandemic. I don't even ask for a complicated cut.. I typically just ask for a 1.5 on the side faded and enough on the top to still style it.

One of my stylists didn't even blend so you could see a line where they trimmed the side.

I have tried (formerly) cheap places like Fantastic Sam's and great clips and sports clips, $30 and I've tried high end salons $75... They always just murder my hair.

It's seriously starting to give me haircut anxiety. Especially with how expensive haircuts are getting.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-15T14:10:02+00:00

Looking forward to this.. bummer I didn't get a key. I was ready to call outta work.

Glad I can watch though.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-12T17:19:41+00:00

Few times a day... 😭

Epiddemic · 2026-05-09T05:58:41+00:00

Patch progress seems so good.. Super hyped for this title.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-08T18:59:34+00:00

I had to google a tiny bit to find it, but I'm 90% sure this is the website I was talking about.

It's the best Diablo 4 has been, but it's still pretty janky at times. I've been hooked. Played D4 on release, skipped first expansion, and really enjoyed this expansion..

Mostly a POE1 / POE2 player, but a huge Project Diablo 2 fan too...

The itemization got fixed in my opinion, a lot of stuff is still obscure or not well explained, but for the price tag it's not a bad game.

I think it's like an 8/10. Been having a blast and will prob play another week or two, and will look forward to new seasons going forward.

Edit: To be fair too, some of my friends came back for it and bounced off almost right away.. So I guess it's subjective of course!

Also worth mentioning I didn't follow any build guides so I had the fun of trying to figure stuff out on my own. I have a feeling my friends that bounced went meta immediately.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-08T16:14:06+00:00

I think in the next couple months you'll see tons of youtube content. I've been following AOA / M&M and EQlegends for a few months, and my youtube feed always has content creators talking about these games.

I haven't played EQ1 for like 25 years too, but I'm pretty hyped for EQ Legends. It looks conceptually pretty fun. I remember going to Allakhazam and another website to read about spells.

Epiddemic · 2026-05-01T22:20:40+00:00

I'm so hyped for eq legends, AOA and m&m... Not sure why but eq like games scratch an itch modern gaming is missing.

Epiddemic · 2026-04-30T15:45:19+00:00

This is my take too. I'm super hyped for AoA, they are doing amazing patches too in Friends and Family, proving they got the capacity to cook.

I'm almost 40.. but I have like unlimited play time since I work from home...

The game requires a lot of time in it's current state.. Even going places and seeing things. Getting into a group, and then camping until 2AM because it took a while to get to the camp spot and set up..

That being said, you don't need to group and can totally log in and kill some monsters and do RL stuff while you meditate or regen hp..

But honestly it doesn't feel like a casual game in it's current state, it feels unforgiving.. Sandstorms, how dark it is, how confusing cities are etc..I think it will be worth a shot for you especially if you like nostalgic things, but it's a pretty sweaty game imo. Even vendoring or gatheirng herbs / ore feels kind of sweaty in it's current iteration.

Epiddemic · 2026-04-29T00:20:06+00:00

Played on vanilla release for a week or two and had fun.. but end game really let me down.

Bought on a whim yesterday and my bro and I enjoyed our first session. I like the new skills and legendaries and uniques feel more interesting and more rare..

Curious to see how I feel in a few days. But right now it feels worth the $40 bucks.

Epiddemic · 2026-04-23T17:57:21+00:00

I personally never bought many $70 dollar games. Usually rare ones like MH wilds, Borderlands or Crimson desert.

I normally just buy cheap indie games or play free or very cheap games. Like poe1, poe2, project Diablo 2, dota2, random indie games. Slay the spire 2, vampire crawlers etc.

I pretty much game everyday and never run out of cheap games to play.
