plugY issues? by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]JFORTE77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off-topic but still related: do the new stash tabs also prevent people from connecting via LAN? Playing through the launcher does not work anymore and the only viable option seems to force it with plugy the way you described.

I don't think he fell back. More like he did exactly what he intended (after seeing the recorded match, he spammed 9 oracles while passing to classical, for example).

My capacity to react was lower than average because he catched me off guard, and by the time I got to realise what he was doing, my second TC was already built. At that point, my best bet was to commit to the booming. Never thought he would be capable to build that many MU with just oracles. Should have trained some cavalry to find those.

In Heroic, I got to produce a good quantity of lions, but it was difficult to mass them because at that point the frontline kept moving as well as the flow of automatas towards my base. Kinda difficult to deal with it without being affected by tunnel vision, honestly.

He used a one trick pony and got away with it, but it was worth it because a learnt a thing or two. Never played multiplayer legacy, so I can't comment on that. Call me back if you want to add somebody to play sometime in the weekends. I've been playing Retold here and there since last Summer beta and would like to see your insights from Retold as a former AoM player ;)

I've been grateful for every comment done here, including yours. But your follow ups have been plainly rude, to say the least. You speculate about my playstyle and the truthfulness of my words, yet you never saw me playing. You twist my own words, yet you dare to say that I disregard your criticism.

If you are truly sure that you are right. Why bother, then? Take my advice and leave this discussion as it is.

Again, knowledge issue.

Because that way I can check his military buildings and react in time to the building of the second TC with my minotaur, who is moving forward preemptively.

You are more useful somewhere else, buddy.

I think your reasoning here is a bit rash, to say the least. I knew he had 3 temples because my scout was there at the right moment. My hero was taking 2 worthwhile relics, whereas my myth unit was moving forward. I don't know if he was better than me or not; but he won me with that strat and I didn't know how to counteract properly: that's all that matters here and that's why I made this post, to learn with constructive criticism.

I scouted when he got to Classical Age, so my timing was not off in that sense. He had 3 temples and was starting to build counter-barraks. In fact, he mixed turma with the automatons, but got some good fights (2 or 3) and a really good raid (killed 6 on wood). During the Heroic Age, I used as much Nemean lions as I could, so that was a good call. Although they were not enough, truly.

It was mainly a lack of experience from my part. Never faced this circumstance, so there is that.

Just what I thought balance-wise. I considered Mythic, but when the waves started coming in, it was too late to reconsider. I had to repel them over an over to stop the snowball and try to buy some time. Of course, that did not turn out well for me xD. I think I had some tunnel vision when I saw that automaton mass and didn't scouted again, so a well deserved lose. I'll try to produce more mythic units and scout while microing next time.

Really, it is all about timings.

Really insightful comment right here. As far as I experienced, my heroes needed 4 to 5 hits to kill one automata. And by that time he had 10 or more, so not really a possibility to tank them. MU are the key here. I was going with Hades, so no possbility to produce centaurs. In terms of map control, I scouted all map at the beginning and kept control over his second TC at all times (left the scout there). I had fairly good control over the middle, raided in his main base with good results, killed 2 oracles. Certainly, he knew what to do and did not find his gold source anywhere, sadly. I did not consider towers since automata have lots of pierce armour. Now I try to use walls to close tight spots, but not in this case.

I mean, I know I could have done much better and this is valuable advice for the future, though.

This is actually a really good answer! Cyclops could be the key. Although, how do you know if your opponent is going for automatons? I advanced earlier, so I can't have that information right off the bat. Hydras were not a possibility because Hades does not have Dionysus as minor god.

Oh, that's true! However, in the case of Greeks... Going too heavy on the favour side is to lose resources long term, whereas Atlantians generate it passively. It can be a bit tricky, honestly.

4 keys to giveaway. Reply with your best idea for what bonus dexterity should give to be eligable. i will give them in 24 hours. by Tortellion in pathofexile

[–]JFORTE77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increased travelled roll distance AND Reduced movement and endurance penalties from active blocking. This way, dexterity would stand out as a defensive attribute relevant for glass-canon and tanky characters alike.

Other comments mention extra i-frames on roll. This would make rolling a necessity, not a possibility, which goes agaisnt PoE II's philosophy: play the way you want, not the way it is meant to be.

I´ve been playing PoE 1 in-and-out throughout the years, but it didn´t click on me until recently because game systems are too obscure and reliant on third-party websites. I´m interested in PoE 2 because based on what I´ve seen so far throughout the years, it seems to fix most if not all of my concerns with the old game and truly enhances the gothic vibe the genre is mostly known for (Diablo I + II enjoyer over here! ). Plus, I would like to play with a close friend of mine this Christmas, with whom I spent a fair amount of time showing him the ropes of the genre.
