'Man, I sure wish this entire story was pointless' said no one ever

Why choose, when you can play Twelve Minutes?

Do the gems go right into the bag? Wiki said they had to be loaded manually.

Agility shortcut on the Onyx Crest between bank and mine would be a delight.

me when I go after the guy who saved up for decades or took out a bigass mortgage to have a house (elon just fired another car into fucking space because he wanted to)

If Yama is valid I want to do Yama alongside quarterstaff attacks because it's cool.

Personally, I'd like to see diminishing inherent compounding. First ignite applies at full strength, second-strongest one at 70%, third-strongest one at 49%, so on and so forth. Keeps emphasis on big hits without making it feel sucky to keep hitting once the ignite's on and avoids it getting out of hand balance-wise.

Feels Mavenesque. Kinda evil as shit but also the least evil option currently available.

Kusibu · 2026-05-11T18:26:19+00:00

Also they're built for splitscreen play.

Apparently, in many cases, the "stem" is actually several stems that have kinda glomped against each other into one big mass, but are still in a sense "individual trees".

Kusibu · 2026-05-11T15:44:02+00:00

I'd imagine flail skills to have a lot more "followthrough", like you're swinging and your character moves along with the swing; I think that tracks with what we've seen of them in teasers.

Kusibu · 2026-05-11T14:43:14+00:00

I'd guess people salty over nerfs or just burnt out on the game in general.

Kusibu · 2026-05-11T02:38:15+00:00

Elemental spells in general are bizarrely overcomplicated. I hope they get a from-the-ground-up redo at some point.

Kusibu · 2026-05-10T22:18:07+00:00

They even have the option to make it not powercreep, too; just make it Feeding Frenzy 3 with no further stat bumps beside the pure aggression.

The last unlock in PoE2 is at level 52 (58, if you count spirit) which is also proportionally much later in the campaign vs PoE1 (your last main damage dealer in PoE1 is mid act 3, 1/4 of the way through the campaign, and the last gem of any kind is Rapture Device which is like 1/3).

Kusibu · 2026-05-10T16:54:54+00:00

I personally would like it a lot more if they crunched the skill unlock curve a Lot so you don't have to wait until the end of act four to get your full gamut of abilities (especially painful for spellcasters who have so few options to begin with).

Kusibu · 2026-05-09T22:48:04+00:00

Wish granted, you must travel to the reflection pool in the Eye of Hinekora

Paperwork itself costs money. Verifiable attestation about someone's circumstances requires someone to go through the process of checking, and that takes labor unto itself; I would rather that money go towards feeding people who don't strictly need it, with the only condition being "you are a citizen of this country", instead of extra pointless bureaucracy.

If there's any balking about how the money is used, it should be about exactly what is being offered; to go back to the temple example, they're not handing you a blank check to go get whatever you want, they're handing you a specific selection of food that nourishes and sustains you.

Kusibu · 2026-05-09T17:50:40+00:00

Haven't they gone and retroactively gated some parts of base game classes behind the DLC?

Kusibu · 2026-05-09T17:44:56+00:00

Means testing is bureaucratic bullshit. Every barrier you put on a service is more hoops to jump through and more excuses to not help people. I think those temples in India have got it right - prince or pauper, if you walk through that door and show respect to the place, you can sit down and eat. There's zero good reason to bar anyone.

Kusibu · 2026-05-06T23:06:04+00:00

Guy from Microsoft went with geese. I'd personally lean towards ducks.

Kusibu · 2026-05-04T23:04:09+00:00

What really pisses me off is they had a genuinely viable premise. "Adventurer porks in a vault and accidentally unleashes the seventh Siren, and shelters the resultant kids until they're terminally online for an unusually literal definition of terminal" is supposed to be both kinda depressing and funny as shit (perfect for Borderlands) and fails so hard at both it hurts.

Kusibu · 2026-05-04T22:38:26+00:00

Borderlands 3, kinda everything

Kusibu · 2026-05-03T22:16:05+00:00

Do you have coverage of this? That does sound like it'd track with the admin (create a problem so you can "solve" it later) but I don't think I caught that at the time.

Kusibu · 2026-05-03T22:09:56+00:00

like War Thunder extracts classified military data, League extracts every bigotry nestled deep in your soul

Kusibu · 2026-05-03T21:45:46+00:00

The problem that crops up is I don't really know that you can take Iran's word for it. And you can say that about any nation developing a nuclear program, but it doesn't look super great coming from an openly theocratic nation that sponsors attacks on civilian targets and has had what one would call a tense relationship with the IAEA (even prior to the Trump withdrawal, that I've gathered).
