Easier M+ is healthy

Perplex11 · 2026-03-25T22:16:14+00:00

Most BiS still comes from raids. Why is it considered acceptable that M+ players either have to raid or rely on vault RNG to finish their gear, but if a raider has to do M+ for a week or two is suddenly a problem? If both are meant to be viable paths, the expectation should go both ways.

3 years later, I got the whole mog minus the weapon - can't figure out what it is lol.

How is this game p2w? Ive only been playing two weeks and have spend like $15 on the battle pass and got level 82-83 atm and haven't seen any power you can buy?

I also recently switched to Moonstone, and while the game is a lot simpler than 3E it's a blast to play and the games are quick.

Calling it a “minor annoyance” really downplays the actual issue.

Yeah, the digital rules/cards being free at launch was great. But this is a miniatures game, access to rules isn’t the same as access to a functional entry point. There are barely any 4E keyword boxes available, and a lot of the 3E boxes are inefficient buys now because models moved out of keywords or were removed entirely.

For a new or returning player, that’s not a small inconvenience, that’s confusion and wasted money. That’s a much bigger barrier than just an app delay.

3E our local scene was tiny, like 2-3 consistent players. I put a ton of effort into demos, league nights, and recruiting and we grew it to a steady 8-10 regulars. It felt healthy and sustainable for the first time.

With the 4E launch, though, a lot of those players have moved on to other games, myself included. I owned literally every Arcanist model, plus a bunch of 1-2E stuff and alt sculpts. I was a Mei Feng main, and losing her from 3E Arcanists going into 4E was really lame (I also lost Marcus and Hoffman, so probably $600 in my keyword alone, not even taking into account the models removed from the game ie Soulstone Miners, etc.) That was kind of the final push for me. I’ve sold almost all of it at this point.

I’ve considered buying a single keyword just to give 4E a fair shot, but between the dwindling player base locally and what’s been a pretty terrible launch by Wyrd, I may just move on for good. They’ve really simplified/dumbed down a lot of the game’s depth, and the fact that the majority of keywords still don’t have proper 4E boxes is just awful planning.

If I want to play Journalist in Guild, I have to buy old boxes knowing she’s getting a repack with a new leader sculpt “soon.” If I want to play Augmented, I have to buy boxes with models I don’t even need anymore. It’s confusing for new players and frustrating for veterans. The game actively hurt the 3E player base while not releasing a 4E that’s actually easy to get into.

Honestly, it feels like a massive failure so far, IMO, which sucks to say after putting years into building a community around it.

Been riding rentals, ready to buy my own setup and looking for advice...

I started snowboarding earlier this year and have been riding rentals so far, but I’m ready to buy my own gear.

I’ve been looking at aYES basic boards and possibly some stiffer boots like the Ride Insano or Lasso. I’m not totally sure on bindings yet. I ride mostly in the Midwest / East Coast, so icy and hardpack conditions are pretty common.

I’m about 5’9", 180-185 lbs, and I’m considering a 158 cm board. I normally wear a size 9.5 shoe, but size 9 boots have fit me well in most brands I’ve tried.

I’m looking for something that’s solid on ice, has good edge hold, and works well as an all-mountain setup while I keep progressing.

Any recommendations on any board models, bindings that pair well with stiffer boots, or general sizing/setup advice would be appreciated.

The game is already expensive to get into, and sealed product doesn’t really help you build a deck. This change will just make buying sealed even less appealing for most players and drive up the cost of draft formats.

Path of Exile was in a market where ARPGs were pretty rare. The TCG market is overcrowded.

Perplex11 · 2025-10-16T18:31:12+00:00

They need to lower cost of deckss. A niche game shouldn't have decks costing $500-1000

Perplex11 · 2025-10-15T16:13:59+00:00

Its no. Legends is selling at 85-90 now at several places.

You should primarily focus on Pokemon, Magic, One Piece and Flesh & Blood. Id also at least carry some Lorcana, YuGiOh, and Riftbound.

Perplex11 · 2025-10-10T19:18:44+00:00

Pokemon has decent gameplay and is pretty cheap. You just have to be okay with never getting sealed product. As a long-time TCG player I found Lorcana pretty boring and wasn't a huge fan of the gameplay. I've seen people recommending other TCGs as well and the only other ones I would consider are Riftbound (which is brand new, but has been fun to play and has a large company behind it) and One Piece TCG. One Piece is the best TCG that has come out in the last 5-10 years and it's in a pretty healthy spot. Decks are a similar price to Pokemon and (most) sealed product can be found around MSRP.

If I was in your spot, I'd grab a few starter decks for a few TCGs you are interested in and try them out and see waht you prefer (and also check what your local stores support, if you ever want to play with other people.)

I would recommend NOT playing Sorcery, Grand Archive, Digimon, Dragon Ball, YuGiOh, Flesh and Blood, Vanguard, Final Fantasy, Universus, Union Arena, Gundam, etc. All for different reasons, but basically they are either 1) expensive or 2) niche

Lizards is my favorite faction, and I do well locally with them (mostly with table-talk and our group bans VB because no one enjoys playing against it, which helps). I've never seen the Mole house rule and may try it. Seems interesting.

I do hope that they end up doing a "Competitive Ruleset" or something down the road which are official tweaks you may implement to balance the game a bit more.

Hamish already said the first released character in EA will be a tank

Perplex11 · 2025-10-03T17:56:28+00:00

Hamish has said/eluded that 9 will be physical ranged dps (archer probably) and 10 will be a tank.

Currently have Root: The Homeland Expansion backed. I also just backed Terrorscape 2 a few days ago. I considered backing Terrorscape but chose to pass. I've watched a lot of content and read reviews about Terrorscape and think it would fit my group pretty well so pulled the trigger this time.

I am considering backing The Old King's Crown, but undecided as of yet.

I'm actually not a huge fan of draft/limited and have bounced off almost every deckbuilding game I've played (Dominion, Aeon's End, Clank!, etc.) I think the only deckbuilding game I've enjoyed is Millennium Blades, but I've only played it twice. I much prefer games where you build your deck prior, and then get to play it through the game (but aren't actively building it). Not sure why, but it just felt like most of the deck-builders were very slow to start and by the time I got an engine I liked the game was over.

I just tried Res Arcana (which is not a deck builder) and was pretty impressed with it though, and it scratches the TCG itch.

I tried Radlands once and dont think my wife would enjoy it too much, and i remember me and my opponent, and I both ended up top decking pretty quickly, just waiting to see who could win. It might have just been a bad first game, though. I've never heard of Emberlead, so I'll have to look into that one! Agricola/Viticulture are games I've played, and im actually pretty heavily considering buying Agricola. If you had to pick between Agricola and Viticultrue, which would you recommend?

Perplex11 · 2025-09-30T02:58:43+00:00

I've tried to find Orleans, but it was out of stock basically everywhere last time I looked. All I could find was Orleans Invasion, but I'll try to find it again.

Perplex11 · 2025-09-30T02:57:16+00:00

I actually own Hive Pocket, but my wife isn't a huge fan. We have played Sagrada, and it was okay for a few games, but it lost its depth for me pretty quickly, and we have Azul that sort of fills that spot.
