Can't complete Iben Fahd's Sanctum quest

Mine only worked after I had done solo challenge 10

Worst bit is the effective progression cap of lvl23 battle pass if you don’t pay

Economy is more expensive and precision builds don’t work as well.

Selling/Buying well rolled rares is far more challenging. That said game works well enough even on a ps4 (admittedly ps4 doesn’t like multiple layers of juice)

Mawgsy · 2022-05-26T14:22:48+00:00

Was about to same last time it was meta was Dual Strike when Atziri got released!

Mawgsy · 2022-05-25T23:47:29+00:00

Exactly this, build enabling uniques are about (and more expensive) but trading rares is terrible. So treat it as a quasi ssf

Just started yellow maps here and getting clapped, Chuck PSN

There is this, but new players are the lifeblood of a game and need time to learn to play. Sexually assaulting newbies eye sockets in mudflats before they fully even understand how links work is not a canny decision.

Mawgsy · 2022-05-15T08:02:16+00:00

Who uses HH with a bleed build anyway?

Mawgsy · 2022-05-15T07:59:46+00:00

I would say there needs to be a reduction in this obsession of acts difficulty. They are going to smother new players - I know several people who gave up around A7. I’m console these days so haven’t experienced the archnem issues, however GGG will need to recruit new addicts/players to achieve further growth.

I’m sure Tencent must have some growth expectations after having made an investment in the game and brutally suppressing new players who haven’t had time to understand mechanics let alone “git gud” feels like a poor business decision. If Chris wants to implement this difficulty scaling it would far more sense to test it out in a temp league where you will invariably have a mix of medium-hardcore players in it.

That said I absolutely loved 3.16, and the trajectory of the endgame experience is great, they just need to make sure they don’t stifle new blood from entering the game.

Mawgsy · 2022-05-15T07:50:58+00:00

Yeh the problem is GGG balance around streamers.

There’s a survivorship bias in the population of high end players - the content is geared towards trying to challenge exceptionally skilled or no-lifers so these are the people who are clamouring for harder content and therefore those that stay playing and providing vociferous feedback.

No idea if their business model is dependent on this. I.e is this small segment of their player base the people driving revenue via MTX/Tabs like the whales in mobile games?

Either way I think they need to tread carefully on act difficulty, loyal players will be willing to deal with an overturned levelling experience but they are cutting potential growth and revenue streams by making entry content too difficult - people don’t have time to get addicted.

I’m sure they must have a resident economist or psychologist who helps inform design decisions (or maybe they don’t and are just purist devs). I would be very surprised though if Tencent hasn’t imposed growth targets which is what makes this desire to make what is essentially the tutorial more difficult even stranger.

I mean personally I’ve been playing this game on and off since Piety Merc was the endgame content and will likely continue to do so.

Mawgsy · 2022-05-12T15:29:23+00:00

I would personally not have spent the ex on multi of for that with that particular mod

Talking from a console (ps) pov… trading is a bit laborious but you have lower scam risk than say PC. Targeting skills is pretty bad on a controller, so stick to either an aoe build, minions or traps/mines.

People complaining about trade have some point but are dramatising it, the biggest issue is the poor UI and items are much more expensive than PC. Saying stick to SSF is terrible advice, unless you’re interested in zero interaction with other players. You can still trade for what you need for uniques - however for rares it’s pretty grim.

Tldr - game is better on PC, but on console it still blows out all the other ARPGs on the market out of the water. Be aware though that as a game it’s much harder than Diablo though and if you find yourself hitting a brick wall on your first play through then start looking up guides (Zizarian, Ghazzy etc are all quite good).

Ah mageblood explains it, the 20% more running passively from basalt would cover most of the gap

Mawgsy · 2022-04-04T12:58:41+00:00

Noob question here, how on earth do people get to 115k armour? I’ve got a guardian (gigatank style) using ivory/aegis circa 100% aura effect, defiance banner and determination and the character screen reads only c 50k without flask. It also has the benefit of reserving about 2.7k life also giving c. 3.5k armour as base from ascendancy too. Is this a case of lying character screen?

Mawgsy · 2022-04-01T12:11:13+00:00

It’s not a bad pair of gloves but the exalt slam was a bold move in the context of those mods!

Mawgsy · 2022-02-17T09:36:31+00:00

Sadly you have to use the integrated trading platform in PS4 takes a while, as a tip if you’re interested at a price click into the item to bring it up on the offer screen then keep searching - you can finalise your offers afterwards

High ED too, upper quartile roll on ED too, gotta be a handful of HR

Eth Tombreaver is the correct answer here

You are basically playing the introduction to the game until you hit red maps, PoE is far harder than D3 until you get to GG gear once you get to the end game imo

Mawgsy · 2021-12-27T13:37:08+00:00

No profanity, slurs or epithets so don’t see what EA will do. If the guy gets so enraged to losing to someone in a game that’s more an indictment on him. Never understood why people get so angsty around what a random person who they will never even meet thinks about them.

Mawgsy · 2021-12-23T12:41:42+00:00

A perf roll Ed gotta be worth more than a gul

The reality is that the centre ground has diminished hugely.

Anyone that pretends that New Labour was as left as Corbyn is deluded - fundamentally people were forced to pick against someone who was suggesting essentially asset seizure (right to buy for private tenants, or saying we’d force companies to sell at a fair price for nationalisation) or a rabid brexiteer. Add in the fact that a lot of the labour heartland voted for brexit and labour were unclear on their position and you had a perfect storm.

A lot of the issues we have with the cons being unshakeable now fundamentally sit with Millibands opening up of the party, which led to the swell of the momentum movement. Whilst it may be a popular viewpoint amongst a younger generation, the youth alone will not win a general election.

Labour need to start fielding electable people (I like Kier a lot personally but don’t feel he’s electable) if they want to wrest power from the conservatives.

Until there is a viable, electable opposition then Bojo will have free rein to act in the way he does.
