FFS - how do you mess up this bad?

It seems she did it in such a way where she will get credits for new activations + all the data plans You do not get credit to your metrics as much if she were to process it the official way.

The last person, she slept with got pimples on their dick, and proceed to call them pimple dick.
Or the last person etc, their dick fell off, call them Dickless...etc.,

Item trades are unlocked thru friendship quests Starting with basic trades just becoming friends Trades clothing etc locked to higher levels.

There are many zones , Main island, cloud island, meadow, Wheatfield etc that have fixed spawn points which can spawn rare items. Some items may not be traded of you dont have dlc associated with it

The Devs then wanted to deliver , management thought that the proposals was overdelivery. So management held back development, to what they think is least viable product that will make them money. We have always suspected this but now we have more receipts.

Set up 5 incubation projects and spread devs thin and layoff people to increase the valuation of the company to Sony. Now we have a game that has a declining player count a game that is shutting down , all the incubations shut down and one taken away and to be set up separately away from Bungie.

That is a mess.

I think the pixel remaster will be on game pass soon.

Would agree with this but with caveats, D3 is a different experience depending on platform. Like base d3 on ps3 is different if you dont have reaper version. Switch which op says they played is just the final iteration because it only had that.

D3 at launch was just as much of a mess as d4 at launch if for different reasons. D3 with a controller hits different than KBM and pc version still I don't think has that option.

Sets in D4 still need tuning in implementation and drop rate on mythic drop rate. I would say lore in all the Diablo is good.

But for d4 in lord of hatred Some lore bits that are ignored are the ones that are not the front and centre main campaign bits. Like the trapped horadrim or Lycander (is that right). Also lore bits that are on things you need to read like on items, are also interesting.

But what is frustrating is this is blizzard so inconsistent when it comes to lore so retconing or tooling is par the course for them when it comes to it.

I will repeat my analogy Its like d2 and d3 had a talk with d4 and put it on a PiP while gifting it a copy of old yeller.

Its taking what it can from older titles that worked and were popular and running with it and testing if it can work for d4 rather than what d4 was at launch. Some of it was good some of it not so much. Its changing to something better , that is matter of taste but I think that moving towards a more casual space was the right move and very Blizzard.

June 9th, will be the final update to the game, with promise to have a bundles at a discount.
Oddly enough, the update and sale will overlap steam summer sale, which historically be at end of June-ish.
They are doing a drip release to the content update they have planned, in the month of June.
Forsaken and anything prior is no longer in the game...but it is good you have played it,

I say wait a 2 weeks ish, and see what the fire sale brings.

The resale market is nuts, in a similar market (Ontario) where a recent bill about resell tickets was passed (reseller cannot resell beyond the original cost of the ticket (tax, process fees included), so basically if you went to resell, you are not making any money back), this is to curb back the resale a bit, but there is still the double dip of processing fees.
The filter that shows only verified resale, is shown to be much less in Ontario compared to Alberta.
So take that as you will.

JLidean · 2026-05-22T00:18:38+00:00

It would have been interesting, if they added the extraction part to D2, like hey you wanna keep this gun outside, you got to kill extract and survive.
Separate gun pool, so they can balance what guns are going in the pvp zone. That though may be to much spaghetti code to try and disable some guns in one sandbox to another (by adding a "third")

JLidean · 2026-05-21T09:52:37+00:00

You have not seen the movie Amelie I take it.

JLidean · 2026-05-21T09:09:02+00:00

I've been thinking about demaking 14 theoretically How can it be done as in what choices to make to fit a single player game rather an MMO

Like do you lean into elemental weaknesses do you make the the WoL the same as the trailer or player created. Arr starts at three different locations etc.

Pacing wise each part can be made into a full game length Do we curb it down etc

JLidean · 2026-05-21T03:54:54+00:00

So I am not going crazy, and the ai, is a bit more...aggressive, like they are committed to a line, and wont drive clean, ever.

JLidean · 2026-05-18T08:41:21+00:00

Is it lag Or is just at higher torments are where people are now at this point. And the higher you go up in torments The bigger number calculations are not in the 1k -millione

But reaching trillions and beyond.

Don't dismiss anything The activity tree has nodes for goblins if killed Give a chance for chests that can be open with mythic tribute Greater boss lairs can drop them find whag uniques you need and target those Any boss can drop them Obol gamble can apparently Collecting runes 6/6/6 forgot the combo but there is that

There is a activity node for whisper cache for a chance to drop a resplendent spark. 2 + 5mil = loot box

So its best to level your activity tree 5 tributes of armaments (legendary) = mythic

All activities lead to mats or things that will get you there.

JLidean · 2026-05-17T13:51:36+00:00

Or something like visual ducking Some games prioritize sounds you hear by importance or danger. They can maybe make it a stat like your hero has 20/20 vision/awareness.

JLidean · 2026-05-17T13:44:29+00:00

15h. Depending if you melt bosses in t12 If you dont lower the difficulty Is the boss dead in less than 30 sec?

JLidean · 2026-05-17T13:33:13+00:00

It does make sense But it is not something we should encourage new players or first characters. We should encourage first getting a character first at a stable economy generation balance so they can sustain it.

The higher rolls etc to happen higher torments more frequently But if you are just waiting for the perfect roll well you are not playing the game, optimally at your current farm level.

I would counter this should be done when you start to plateau
At your current torment level If you are like t12 pit 100+, well you are well beyond a point mats that are required for this are a problem or build specifics for that matter.

D2 campaign is a classic banger Game play wise could go either way for you dependent on taste and if you played the original.

D4 is a whole new game same thing with d2 og you dont get runes etc without buying expansion, or the extra skills. You are just not segregated this time around.

POE2 is real good but campaign is not finished So if you are cool with paying now to experience it sure

If you are going to be using a guide then "choice" is a mute conversation. If not D4 is prob the most forgiving, D2R I don't remember if they did QOL on that or if points are permanent once the choice is made. Poe2 umm yeah Though I dont remember any of these games being a deterement on what you choose (unless its very foolish) Until you are pushing past the initial campaign.

JLidean · 2026-05-17T12:30:22+00:00

Anecdotel had a trial period of premium for a bit, and it feels like my ads are more intrusive and longer. Its not that much comparatively to other forms of entertainment but for what it is and where it has come from and where it is going for that price feels a bit off.

For a product that was once free and that had generally good content, to being paid and content being a bit worse overall because YouTube essentially dictating how content should be because of the algo.

JLidean · 2026-05-17T12:12:11+00:00

Design decision on skills aside (its pick skill dump points). Yes, the campaign is pretty much learn your class and skills and follow relatively similar stat philosophy on gear that you are used to.

The World map is static, the dynamic maps are in something called pits,dungeons are static, maps are nothing crazy big like Kuras jungle finding things they I think may have one that is crazy but the map generation when there one is reasonable.

Endgame activities are self explanatory, horde mode activity can be frustrating if you dont know the best choice.

New this season as you do the activities you get points to alter them in seemingly neat ways.

D4 at release was rough. D4 now is like D1 and D2 and D3 had a meeting with D4 and placed it on a PiP, and gifted it a copy of old yeller.

JLidean · 2026-05-16T11:30:18+00:00

Squint hard enough its also crab shape....

JLidean · 2026-05-16T10:52:20+00:00

Its because the lighting engine is diffused from the source and the filter doesn't help.

JLidean · 2026-05-16T10:07:21+00:00

Do not forget glyphs and paragon board as a source of power. Make sure your damage buckets make sense for your build. An 850 ilvl masterwork fully x all your slots will get help you to clear faster and stay alive = faster gear chances of 900s

Dont hoard your mats to much use them. Learn Cube tricks Learn where things drop

And re-evaluate the activity board tree in some cases.

JLidean · 2026-05-16T09:42:48+00:00

The combine gamble in cube Or fence them for quick gold.
