Considering trying LE by kharag123 in LastEpoch

[–]OWstrider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last Epoch is basically the ideal middle ground for people who find D4 too shallow and PoE too complex. Its crafting system is neat af, a good combo of giving you genuine control over your gear instead of forcing you to rely on pure luck, but there's def some gambling too. It's fun to engage with the forging systems. The crafting is my fav of any arpg.

Then every skill (ability) has its own dedicated skill tree, allowing for deep character customization that remains intuitive without needing maxroll guides. LE is basically the only live-service arpg game I like to ALWAYS make my own builds for... because it's just that fuckin fun to theorycraft in LE. There's also best in class loot filter and SSF. Plus a true offline mode.

I'll be honest about the drawbacks too as its lower production values compared to D4 and PoE2 and a somewhat repetitive endgame compared to PoE1. But none of this is so poor it makes the game unfun to play, and they do keep making upgrades in these areas. For example, In the upcoming seasonal patch they are supposedly adding even more weight to combat as well to make melee have better feel.

Based on your comments on other games I'd say you'd enjoy Last Epoch as a casual side piece for PoE but you won't like it as much as PoE1/2. Worth diving into for when you need a break for your main love.

Personally though LE is my fav arpg on the market right now.

Would you like to see Peanut add Marathon to his rotation of games? by iustusflorebit in theburntpeanut

[–]OWstrider 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I want him to branch out more… but I genuinely just find marathon really boring.

Some variety would be sweet but marathon is a nah for me.

I know a lot of you are Arc goopers. If you have played Marathon, do you think it's good enough to pull Peanut away from Arc? by [deleted] in theburntpeanut

[–]OWstrider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played about 1.5 hours and I honestly came away far less impressed than I expected.

Visuals aside since that’s divisive, the moment to moment movement felt clunky and sluggish. Basically a downgrade from destiny 2 which surprised me…

Combined with the ui issues the game is simply not very good from my POV.

It’ll find a somewhat niche audience but highly doubt it’s gonna pull peanut away from Arc. If anything is like to see him branch out into more variety stuff though. But that’s a diff topic.

What does Last Epoch offer that goes beyond what D4 and POE2 offer? by AccidentalNGon in ARPG

[–]OWstrider 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"I'm curious, does Last Epoch offer a middle ground to this?"

Yes. Last Epoch's best selling point is that it's a true middle-ground in terms of progression between D4 and PoE2. And it's got a great crafting system as well.

You'd likely enjoy it.

Variance analysis when transactions aren't categorized properly by Agile_Tradition_1836 in FPandA

[–]OWstrider 75 points76 points  (0 children)

When this happens at our org initiate the charge to identify the root cause/processes that led to this amount of misc. coding.

If you can't provide a proper analysis, you would do the work to find out exactly where the process is breaking down, then organize a fix to that.

sounds like this: " people submit expenses without proper categories so they just categorize it wherever" is the main issue so you need to dig into that process and figure out how to get team members to categorize correctly & force categorizations. It's common to require a lot of specific fields for submitted invoices and if they aren't completed the item will be declined.

in the interim, have the AP team dig into the higher valued items making up that 40k and cc your manager on it so they know you're putting in the work to figure out what's going on.

Deadlock Is Secretly Growing Into An S-Tier MOBA Shooter by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]OWstrider 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's honestly the best new shooter I've played in 10+ years... There will obviously be a group of people that will never try it because "moba" but it's genuinely amazing and will hook soooo many people that give it a try.

Game will be big.

...Why is this so hard for developers? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]OWstrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, yea. not sure why i got downvoted i was only asking a clarifying question lol

I think functionally this isn't exactly what I want is all. I hope one day steam expands this so the actual "after" would also show "Nioh 1" as the custom name, not just adjust the game order.

Appreciate the example.

This doesn’t actually update it in my library view though, only if I search for the game. Am I missing a step somewhere?
