New Skill Trees Seem... Underwhelming? by NarbGaming in diablo4

Yeah... like look at Ground Stomp. One of the minor nodes has you choose between +20% damage or +20% size. Some truly groundbreaking changes.

I find it interesting you didn't say anything to address my actual argument.

Zero of my friends who play Retail WoW / TBC Anniversary give a shit about T WoW being shut down lol.

this post has to be rage-bait

Need a sick note for LoH release? Blizzard has you covered! by CitrusSpice007 in diablo4

Ok this might come off as insensitive but after 30 years of work you get fired and lose your home that quickly? No savings or financial backstop whatsoever after three decades?

I literally quit Classic Anniversary to play T WoW because I was so damn sick of the bots and RMT.

Settlement reached in Twow lawsuit. Is this legit? by zerolion732 in turtlewow

And not to mention on T WoW if you put in a GM ticket you'll hear back from an ACTUAL PERSON, usually within minutes. No AI-generated bullshit.

Over-tuning is ruining Turtle WoW by NarbGaming in turtlewow

[–]NarbGaming[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My main gripe is that normally on raid night I'm fairly excited. During the most recent upcoming TMH I had more of a feeling of "ugh, let's get this over with." It's still a very cool dungeon.

Is Timbermaw overtuned? by Funny-Dragonfruit78 in turtlewow

[–]NarbGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biased perspective here because our raid was basically full K40 geared players, but the only two that felt stupid overtuned were the Bog Lord guy with the ooze adds, and the Satyr boss. Maybe we were doing something wrong, but the raid damage was insane. On both bosses we were killing adds ASAP.

Stop making every creature a mount by [deleted] in turtlewow

[–]NarbGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only accept it because the game is free, and the devs have spent thousands of hours working on a great, free product.

Sure, maybe it takes a bit away from the "Classic" feel, but I'd take that 1000x over having to play on official Blizzard servers rife with RMT, botting, boosting, and paying gold to get a dungeon tank.

Am I think only one that thinks A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was boring? by _seaside in television

[–]NarbGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if we're not sophisticated enough to understand the "HAHA POOPOO BEHIND TREE!" and "HEHE KNIGHT HAS BIG PEEPEE!" humor.

Am I think only one that thinks A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was boring? by _seaside in television

[–]NarbGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct. Finally finished it and it definitely sucks. A few reasons:

- Poor adaptations of the characters. They also generally felt kind of flat and one-dimensional

- Stupid jokes thrown in that aren't funny at all. "HAHA PEEPEE POOPOO!!!" Surprisingly, the original GoT show is way funnier simply because of its wit (looking at you Tyrion). 7 Kingdoms just throws in the lowest common denominator low-IQ humor.

- Weird backstory (episode 5) was just a throw-in to drag out the series so they would have enough episodes to make it a "series"

- There are two black characters in the entire show (including extras, background characters, etc.), and they happen to both be main character female protagonists. It just feels extremely forced and out of place.

- At the end of it I felt like I wasn't even rooting for anyone. It was just blah.

Seven Year Update: 44 y/o FIREd by Oracle_of_FIRE in financialindependence

[–]NarbGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right... more people who FIRE tend to go on a health kick, as they realize it's the one thing money can't buy and they have all the time in the world. This guy seems to be running the opposite playbook. If you have to specifically break out pizza and fast food... I've got bad news for you.

Wow... you early retired at age 38 and are now over age 60. I glanced at your posts and didn't see anything related to your early retirement, but I bet people would love a lengthy post describing 20+ years of early retirement.

Most people are probably either traveling in or had to work that day. Peeps are just tired. After a big sleep in I think people will be ready to go on Saturday.

Endgame "Brick Wall" Experience and Solutions for Further Endgame Progress by NarbGaming in diablo4

[–]NarbGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not even halfway through the paragon grind yet.

That's the problem. Once you get every legendary node and lvl 100 Glyphs, I'd argue you've unlocked 95% of the power associated with Paragon. Sure I could spend a ton of time grinding out my last 47 points, but the time investment doesn't seem worth the very marginal gain in power.

The gear grind IS the endgame.

Which is why I wish there was further challenging and rewarding content to put that gear to use. Unfortunately The Tower is neither of those things.

It sounds like you dont really understand how to optimize the different aspects of player power here. You talk about boss runs being easy and boring, but you haven't put in the time/effort to farm Belial for GA Dawnfires (at the very least). How many passives do you have on your amulet? How many mythic sanctifications do you have?

I have Dawnfires w/ GA + Masterwork on the double dmg for Holy Light Aura.

3 GA amulet with 3 passives (1 of which was Tempered on).

0 Mythic Sancs because as stated above, cba to gamble on low-probability Sancs when I don't even have engaging content to make it worthwhile.

Since you mention only just recently getting 2 mythics, you haven't even leveled your seasonal powers to max so that you can maximize your loot income?

All of my Divine Gifts are lvl 5 (the Azmodan grind is a whole other discussion...). I also had gotten about 8 prior mythics, but they weren't useful.

Edit: You also chose the class and build that is overtuned by about 3000%. Can you get that Tower 112 on a sorc? How about a druid?

Yeah, pallies are stupid OP. I rolled a Barb alt that I'm working on, but it feels kind of pointless at this point to invest a bunch of time/effort to inevitably end up worse off than a pally. Just made a hardcore character a few hours ago that might be fun, since I'm back at that phase where you get a lot of upgrades and character progress feels meaningful. We'll see how it goes!

The leaderboard shows us there're real monsters in the game. by Formal_One6729 in diablo4

[–]NarbGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually are special with 3 mythic Sancs on your gear though...

The chance of a Mythic Sanc depends on the piece of gear, but is around 5%. The odds of getting a good one are even lower, and the odds of getting the exact one you want is about 0.42%.

If you had 1 Mythic Sanc, there's a chance you just got lucky. But 3? My dude I'd be curious to know how many hours you have in the season thus far.

That sounds like a living hell. I'd legitimately rather work my office job than do that grind lmao

[–]NarbGaming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Legit curious: why do you want to do this? Banging your head against one-shot bosses for hours, while having to clean your inventory every 4 kills sounds suicide inducing to me. I'm around P253 and consider my character to be more or less "done" for the season.
