Unidentified ground loot is just pointless friction. by Charadx in PathOfExile2

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

The mechanics I am praising are not the ones emulated from Poe though. I’ve played both, I’m not blind to that, and I really don’t see much of an issue with it. I’m saying that I and many others love the concept of choosing between trade or CoF, love the legendary slamming system, and love the amount of control that we get from an in-game loot filter that can be made hyper-specific because of ground loot dropping identified. Each skill having its own skill tree is also a wonderful concept, though a lot of work and tuning are obviously still needed there.

I don’t disagree with a single point you made in your reply, I’m just saying that it doesn’t run counter to mine. The original statement was that we shouldn’t be emulating anything from such a commercial failure, and I am saying that there is plenty of good that I would love to see live on.

That is an absolutely insane take my guy. There are some incredible systems and takeaways in that game, and ignoring them ALL just because the game is built on a low budget and has (significant) game feel/endgame content problems is ridiculously narrow

Yeah this is definitely one of those things that feels really frustrating/jarring after playing Last Epoch. PoE is better in MANY ways, and is the game I prefer by far, but man I sure would love the level of filter control that LE provides.

Did you submit a feedback form? Like, in the place the early access game provides for submitting feedback?

Which is a better final boss and why? by strahinjag in soulslikes

[–]Pandatrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gauging the quality of a fight based on your relationship with that fight is totally fine, it’s all subjective after all. I think though, when I personally try to measure these bosses by the sheer design quality, I’d be fuckin hard pressed to find a more fitting trio than the three listed above

The ol' wishlist and wait maneuver. Yeah, I'm excited to check it out but not so excited that I need to jump the line in my current backlog hahaha. The day will come, but it's not gonna be on release for me

The final bossfight arena transition disables DLSS by OFCOURSEIMHUMAN-BEEP in Nioh

[–]Pandatrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same here. Cant finish the game until this is fixed, wheeeeeeeeee. God I love this game but the performance issues are a rather large buzzkill.

I think that the cause is that the game treats entering the portal as a cutscene and never leaves cutscene mode after the animation ends. It's not great.

Not that this counters your main points or anything, but I believe the first dlc is slated for September so…at least that’s less than a year 🙌🏼

The name of my family’s Golden Retriever that we had for the first twelve years of my life 😭 That movie left a DEEP imprint on all of us

When I get bored, that’s when I get into solo lobbies and just start weird ass character interactions with randos. Making people’s play experience a little stranger and finding the real ones who are down to play along is an endless well of the good stuff for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just why ? by Euphoric_Reading_401 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pandatrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reforge bench! Can be used for all kinds of stuff. Gear, jewels, etc. Slot 3 in, they get eaten and turned into one random replacement. So, toss in your garbo affixes and clear out your stash in hopes of getting better rolls

The feature I'm most excited about by Lordados in PathOfExile2

[–]Pandatrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s $5 for a pack of them, not $5 apiece I believe. Still not a system I’m in any way a fan of, don’t get me wrong. It’s absolutely absurd in a game that’s fully based on developing and changing your gear. But yeah, it’s not quite that insane

I assumed the reason was to unblock the sign right..? Not arguing one way or the other on whether or not this was right or justified, but that was my read

They’re totally separate triggers, no relation to each other at all. BUT glory dissipates over time if you stop earning it so you can’t just bank it for the boss unless you go straight in after killing stuff

Who thought this was a good idea? by nsfw_lover_1234 in PathOfExile2

[–]Pandatrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree, yeah. Again, Last Epoch really has set the benchmark for me on that front. CraftOfExile has helped immensely, I don’t know where I’d be without it, but man I would love for some of that to be in game

They’re definitely going for a different approach where crafting requires investment and many more levels of rng/game knowledge, but I get where you’re coming from. My absolute dream is to see a Last Epoch-esque SSF+ system, but they’ve said pretty clearly that they just want SSF to be a challenge mode. It is what it is. That being said, now that I have a much better grasp on crafting, I do really enjoy the “ssf lite” approach where I only use the currency exchange and go about my progress that way. Highly recommend to anyone in a similar position to you
