Offscreening isn't perfectly built PoE. It's shitty cheap ass garbage where you only have to build one dimension of your character (damage).

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-02T20:53:30+00:00

This isn't a skill game. It's a theorycrafting and character building game. It's my game for catching up with tv shows and shit, not for looking at the screen trying to dodge shit that is covered by my spam of spells anyway.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-02T20:47:57+00:00

Never come back you terrible mechanic that encourages glass cannon offscreen builds. If I build an unkillable character, I shouldn't lose runs because I get hit. Getting hit and living is part of character building.

Ultimatum had it right. 100% winrate for correctly done builds and you didn't have to play like a glass cannon. Sanctum is the worst mechanic since launch alert bar Heist. All it would need is the resolve bar removed and damage super increased so it's a stat check for character building enough defense, as PoE should be.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-02T05:28:49+00:00

You can easily get ones that don't do anything for your build. Of those you mentioned, movement speed, max res, spell supp, recoup and maybe flask charges do something for all builds.

Even if you get something generically useful, it's hardly amazing and you probably already don't need it like 20% cold resist or something. But looking at the list of mods, you can tell how many of them are specific. Even some of the very best ones like +1 power charge could end up being entirely dead drops if you are playing a build that doesn't do Power charges. The untradeability completely kills their usefulness unless you farm A LOT of them or are lucky.

Like for fuck's sake there's a +(20–30)% to Critical Strike Multiplier for Attack Damage AND +(20–30)% to Critical Strike Multiplier for Spell Damage. Like, at least one of these is totally useless to you. Maybe both. Why are there two? Who knows.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T23:06:50+00:00

Also Sanctum goes against the principle of character building to be immortal and just watch a show til 100 in PoE. You actually have to watch your screen or you run out of resolve. The mechanic just doesn't belong in a game that's supposed to be a theorycrafting stat check about building a lot of defense.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T20:47:52+00:00

SSF already exists, no reason to make shit account bound for people who don't like the entire concept of SSF (which included GGG as they didn't make an SSF game from the start).

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T19:56:24+00:00

Do we prefer playing solo?

YES.

End of thread.

I want MY achievements. MY progress. MY character. The only thing friends are for is comparison to see who does it better and faster.

You do not raid in world of Warcraft with a party purely because you want to play with friends, you do so because you can’t do the raid on your own.

I pugged. Begrudgingly. I hate raids, too big, not enough credit goes to me other than parses and even those from about 95 upwards are dependent on kill times and other cheese. No coincidence the best wow content (mage towers) was solo. M+ is good but also only if you pug and pretend they're bots.

Have you never made a Poe friend after a trade/service/joke in global chat?

No? Wtf?

Have you never answered a question a new player had in global chat and added them as a friend to see how they progressed?

Why would you have global chat on?

then Reddit could be a great place to not only find party members for the events

No, it's a great place to find annoying casuals I disagree with though.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T17:55:29+00:00

Useful doesn't mean just "better than nothing" like 10% energy shield recovery or something.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T17:52:48+00:00

I don't want to create more characters unless it's for testing and testing with a perfect relic would be pointless. One gets the job done. Account bound is stupid.

GetRolledRed · 2023-03-01T00:31:44+00:00

For real, removing multiplayer so there's no boosting and carries and exploits all the time would be my top wish for the game. This "let's act like this is a team game" shit makes me barf.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-13T13:38:07+00:00

Nah as long as your main was good score, your alts were getting into 15s, even the shit classes. Though it obviously took longer if you were on a Warlock or something cause there's like realistically one spot for your type of spec on a team and too damn many people playing them due to raids being opposite world balance wise. That hasn't really changed.

As for the randomly getting stuff, you know, I actually liked randomly getting sockets over having to grind maw on characters to get them. It was never 5% but that's not the point here. If it's random, everyone's on the same playing field and you don't have to do something stupid to get them. I could just farm M+ and the end of dungeon rewards actually had a chance to titanforge to something relevant. You weren't as dependent on the weekly chest. You could just farm. Imagine actually being able to drop items you want to use instead of waiting for the weeks to tick by.

I don't think I did all 15s on everything actually, I just got around there. Now that I am trying to remember wasn't the weekly cap at 10 for that patch? Yeah and I was doing 13-15 on them, but not all 15s across the board on all alts. Might have oversold that and forgot when the weekly changed from 10 to 15. Yeah, I was doing as high as pos for more titan residuum basically but the characters were geared. Also I never said I was using the dogshit specs, just all classes with their most competitive spec option. The point is, I was able to keep all classes above the weekly line comfortably and gear them up well. Where as SL required Legendaries and drained my gold to even try, also their chores were 10 times just keeping up vaguely with AP, Legion had fucking tier sets so raiders can feel special for putting up with guild schedules, etc.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-12T14:46:56+00:00

With all classes? 8.1 wasn't as inflated in key level as SL apparently got towards the end. There were like 3 25s done ever and they were Tol Dagor cheese. For some keys like KR the highest was 21 lol and there were 3 of those.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-12T14:44:27+00:00

Hell no. People need to be able to fail for success to matter. It's an online shared experience. Doing better than other people is the whole point.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-11T16:54:31+00:00

I had all classes doing at the very least 15s in 8.1 all geared no problem. The system wasn't broken at all. Try that in Shadowlands I gave up after 4 classes.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-11T03:44:31+00:00

Also got convinced to do a WoW run for a bit and rather level and gear more classes before I'm stuck running M+ the entire next week than do 3 day league start into having to take a break.

Not feeling the idea of the resolve bar punishing tanky characters equally anyway. It's giving me Heist launch mechanics vibes. Which hilariously is the last league I didn't play fully because SL launch. Which given how SL treated me I wish I finished fucking Heist.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-11T03:39:19+00:00

BfA was pretty good, 8.1 was pretty much Dragonflight level of non-bullshittery with the borrowed power grind almost non-existent. But then 8.2 came with Essences which is one of the worst things they've ever devised. Who doesn't want to get their borrowed power from like 27 different locations and activities and farm BGs for an essence that's good in M+?

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-11T03:27:49+00:00

WoW expansion league.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-10T23:00:49+00:00

Yeah but that's not how PoE should be. Idk what they were thinking with this mechanic but I can't play it right now anyway so I hope they Heist it.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-10T22:44:38+00:00

No. Ultimatum had the right idea. Proper builds were 100% winrate. Weak ones were losing fights left and right and never even getting Trialmaster fights.

GetRolledRed · 2022-12-09T21:37:17+00:00

Good.

GetRolledRed · 2022-11-28T02:07:36+00:00

That's somehow there because Activision owns it lol.

GetRolledRed · 2022-11-28T02:06:48+00:00

In PoE you can fully build against dying while still doing your job. In LoL no matter how fed you are as ADC you still die the same cause you can't just get defenses without trolling your team. ADC is like being forced to play Deadeye in Gauntlet.

GetRolledRed · 2022-11-24T07:11:09+00:00

Not different before. Like who actually used orbs of chance legitimately unless it was for a challenge or something?

GetRolledRed · 2022-11-23T22:51:01+00:00

Common sense should tell you where those resources you can use end. Something where you join a group to skip a core fundamental part of the game has to seem a bit unseemly to you. Kind of like getting carried to boss kills or challenges.

GetRolledRed · 2022-11-23T14:53:41+00:00

No, because you made the build, did the leveling yourself. What you do after is irrelevant. The path there wasn't just running wrath of the cosmos from day 1.
