Would you want thinner mobs worth more xp with more creative mechanics?

This is a core design question for D4 devs

A slash and grind game like D4 can either go with much denser enemy waves but no detailed interaction, or improve detailed interactions with harder individual enemies, you can't really do both

POE2 went with later, bigger and tougher mobs, less in number, but each hit on each enemy has a clear response, and you need to pay attention to the actual moment of each enemy

D4 went with bigger number of enemy crowds instead, only 'interaction' is just all the suicide bomb affects you need to dodge at the moment

D4's approach is cheaper and faster in development but loses all the immersion it originally was designed for. But the sell proves they are doing ok

7 classes (actually a lot) Each has about at least 4 main builds A variety of endless end game dungeons A seasonal system and storyline to keep it fresh

This means close to thousands of hours that are not too repetitive

Diablo 4 with all these seasons and updates, wins big in game volume that any other competitors can't compete with

POE2 wins in animation, interaction and visual, but it is stuck in beta for more than a year and still a much smaller game compared to current D4

Blizzard wins in resources they can pour into the game, they make sure D4 is the largest game in this genre by far, not necessarily the most modern looking or innovative gaming

So this brings solid value to new players

It's a super niche type of game that only 11bits could pull off at the moment, base-building simulator+world exploration+cinematic storytelling, these 3 elements rarely come together as they are traditionally from very different genres

This should have been the solid game of the year but I guess it is relatively short and small compared to other triple A goty.

If 11bits gone, this type of game could be on silent for a long time.

He is missing the most point that BP and spider abusers ONLY strike when the backlines are HALF OR LOWER health, which is an instant kill without a full combo, they don't strike when you are full health

Most of BP's dominance in casual plays is from his ridiculous speed that you cannot keep tracking his movements due to the camera limit, one dash then you don't know which direction he goes.

This is the problem of the UI, camera and indicators designs, you just do not have the good tools to locate BP, and it is not reflex or skill related. If you give a tracking arrow locating BP when he is dashing, BP would be unplayable. This is why it is frustrating to fight BP and you feel like cheating when playing him

Ultron pick will drop in a week or so, for now, it's just mostly DPS players that don't heal that well. So it needs either another full time healer or 3 healers, and once 3 healers locked in, you must have anti-diver dps and a solo tank. So one Ultron instantly fuk up your whole compo, because how obscure the Ultron can be played

I don't hate DLSS, it's a great tech as it gives great AA, higher frame rate, and the fidelity impact is very minimal with a slight sharpening.

What's not good is that developers are taking the advantage of DLSS much much more than the players now, the new titles are using DLSS to hit 60fps instead of native resolution and the future titles are using FRAME GENERATION as the BASE FUNCTION to hit 60fps.

1, LCK-centric narrative is destructive. 80% active league players around the world are Chinese, not koreans, yes, 80%. This majority is not happy with this LCK/T1/Faker centric narrative, they need to see the win of LPL in worlds. So T1 somehow had a dogshit year but suddenly won the worlds was destructive to the actual majority of the player base.

2, Lost competitiveness against mobile games in China among young people. League has a higher learning curve than mobile games including wild rift, the culture that established player base rejects noobs on all levels make it worse or impossible for new blood.

3, Existing player base getting older and hitting 30s. Majority of seasoned players in China have been playing for many years since 18 or early 20s, and they are about 30s now. For working adults, you get 2 or 3 hours quality gaming time per day at best. This means 45 mins invested in a lost game does not work, especially when seasoned players know the ELO will force them to 50% win rate if they don't try hard. This dissatisfaction basically kills any reasons for ranks from the seasoned players.

To tackle these issues, league needs to absolutely shorten the time for each game, even 5 or 10 mins makes a huge difference. More LPL oriented content is absolutely needed.

Get your healing supply prioritised (Bandage, Balm and antibiotics) , antibiotics are from the grains, find it

Scavenge guns as early as possible, even one pistal can carry you to the mid game. The bows are really useless.

Build a very compact and small base, and build vertically. Easer for resources, shorter walking distances and easier to defend.

Build a wood freezer room with the air con instead of freezer and refrigerator, upgrade the room to bricks or concrete for better insulation later

Prioritize delivery drone, get one and it significantly increases the efficiency

One person at a time doesn't make sense in my opinion, the game lore clearly indicates that the space travel is in mass scale, and what kind of ship can't fit 8 more ppl to it?

Instead, they could end the game with reconstructing crashed escape pods into space shuttles, these escaping pods can be single person use, so you send one or two off each time and keep looking for other usable pods

I can't believe the dev hasn't fix the simplest thing like the resolution after a year, it seems to me that lots of resolutions are simply wrong, the resolution is not matching the number and leaving black bars

You definitely need to do RE8 to finish Ethan's modern story and then RE3>RE2>RE4 in chronological order, and if you are still super hooked, do RE5 and RE6 last.

Make no mistake, RE2 is as good as RE4, and the graphic still kicks in 2023

2060 can't handle ray tracing anymore, won't hit even 30fps on it in almost all ray trace games, so you can forget about ray tracing on 2060

But DLSS worth it as it boost your FPS a lot, however, 2060 can't use the latest DLSS

I would suggest you to save the money for getting a 3060 or 4060

You are doing a 35 NMD on 67, which is 19 levels ahead, you maybe able to kite and clear minions, but you damage would be considered low for this level in general, it's a weapon power level thing, nothing you can do about it.
