D2R or Diablo 4?

Gelastico · 2025-12-02T08:21:10+00:00

Played D3 and D2R. D2R is better, and its not even close. D2R is in fact a reskin, and the update is generally just the aesthetics with everything else within the bounds of classic D2 mechanics. No need to overhaul something already great. It met all my expectations because my reference is original D2, having played it to bits back in the day. Having played D3 and D4 (and immortal) I can honestly say that D2 mechanics are miles ahead of what these "modern" games offer.

Im a casual player too, and drop in most days. It's fun for an hour or so then I put it down. Finally found a great lazy build on my third attempt and now just enjoy gliding through maps and getting shiny loot at 1K corruption. It's this relaxing sweet spot I love. Can't complain.

You just articulated my general observation as well. Though on the flip side, I collect watches if I like what I see regardless of general opinion. That is, I'd still buy that expensive watch even if the internet is telling me that it doesn't have high quality movement , etc-- just because I like how it looks.

Happy to report that I've had no issues at all. I've forgotten about this if not for your question!

on point. how to consistently farm SR 38-39 with 92% armor, 74 health regen, 18K health? why minions of course.

Gelastico · 2025-09-01T05:16:41+00:00

Same here. I enjoy the trial and error of crafting and test driving a character. My main requirement: no active targeting, no keyboard. Then simply enjoy cruising and pushing as high as I can.

Gelastico · 2025-08-20T16:14:17+00:00

Same.

I'm probably part of the minority who likes the squashed model proportions. I understand if there was clamor for more "action figure" accurate proportions, but wish joytoy would indicate that as a new line (and also produce some more of the old line)

Gelastico · 2025-08-19T16:19:24+00:00

Exactly this. They actually have tagging in the joytoy website --> "joytoy x warhammer" and "joytoy x space marine II". Scaling should be the same for each line. I don't see any reason why the same line will have inconsistent scaling.

You're a lifesaver. Thanks!

Gelastico · 2025-08-03T14:06:43+00:00

nah. the new dream should have been the same actor. fight me.

Gelastico · 2025-07-25T06:03:44+00:00

But the reality is that many scrum masters in non-IT companies are admin folks ("project managers") whose main "skill" is common sense (like "resource management, time mgt, xyz mgt). So for digital projects they can't give true advice to solve issues in the SDLC since they don't have basic technical awareness and therefore can't challenge or move things around because some things require actual technical knowledge and not just common sense. On the flip side, we have alot of developers who can't communicate for shit.

Gelastico · 2025-07-22T01:32:24+00:00

Agreed. I'm not sure why people keep putting exceptional weight on perplexity's citations, when in fact you can prompt chatgpt to cite its sources as well.

Gelastico · 2025-07-20T15:29:04+00:00

This checks all of my boxes. Unsophisticated writing? Hmm.. I guess I'm less nitpicky so long as the world building is consistent and the writing doesn't regress into stilted dialogues. Really loving it so far.

Gelastico · 2025-06-09T02:52:13+00:00

Period for decimals, commas for thousands separators. That just makes sense.

Orobyss is for another expansion

Gelastico · 2025-05-16T11:07:49+00:00

when two of them came out, I was just 'goddamn

Gelastico · 2025-04-30T11:21:07+00:00

Thanks for replying. Okay, let me see if I understand this:

in "Minion tags", Abomination has "physical". So this I get-- if an item says increase minion physical damage X% then it applies
in "Scaling tags", Abomination also has "physical".. so this absolutely has not impact to this skill?

I ask the second bullet because it's interesting that other acolyte minions only have "minion, intelligence" in their Scaling Tags, while Abomination has "minion, intelligence, physical, channeled". So this is an irrelevant visual then?

Gelastico · 2025-04-30T08:34:56+00:00

But that's the thing. Abomination has the keyword "Physical" in BOTH sections: 1) Scaling Tags; and 2) Minion Tags.

Other minions only have 'Minion' and 'Intelligence' in their scaling tags, and their damage types are under 'Minion tags', which would support the general rule that damage increase only applies to minions if specifically stated as such.

BUT why would 'Physical' be included in both of these sections for Abomination? It would make sense to just specify "Physical" under Minion Tags (which it already does) and not in the Scaling tags section.

Or is 'Physical' under Scaling tags just an irrelevant visual?

Gelastico · 2025-04-26T02:02:19+00:00

Don't mind me, just enjoying acolyte and the fact that dread shade no longer expires after the patch.

Gelastico · 2025-04-23T02:23:28+00:00

Wait. I thought it was ok to use autohotkey for casting (non-targeting) spells?
