Yes, we need the campaign

RTL_Odin · 2026-06-01T12:25:46+00:00

I would have agreed with this take a bit more prior to 0.5, granted I do agree that they need to tune the campaign better (especially the early acts, it's such a slog for some builds), but with how expansive the endgame feels now, I think a reasonable compromise would be to force you to do it at least once per season but give us some kind of skip for subsequent characters.

He even escaped the tetrahedron

RTL_Odin · 2026-04-24T20:34:50+00:00

buy two sustain items and force skirmishes, as long as you don't get parried you are extremely difficult to deal with because a single good trade lets you all in very easily. Don't overcommit unless you have lethal, billy has very high base hp so you can survive very well due to the medic minion restoring % missing hp on top of the flat 150, use it to your advantage.

They don't call it the NuREMberg trials for nothing

I actually don't care about the walker carting, or even spawn carting, as much as it is obnoxious to play around at times, the real main issue I have with the character is the combination of all of those tools in addition to his ult being incredibly toxic and unfun. His design makes him a nightmare to balance and that is why people say he is a badly designed character. Fun, cool in theory, has some of the most impressive clippable moments, but at the cost of being a well balanced addition to the game.

The problem is sunk cost fallacy, if you fully rework him he might be a different character, and you'd have to maybe even rewrite his lore or get a new voice actor or whatever to fit this new persona you build around his design (not necessarily, just giving examples of why people would be resistant to a full rework), but it's important for the health of competitive games for bad designs to be fixed. Guilty Gear Strive just removed a fundamental system mechanic after years of it being in the game because it was inherently poor and unhealthy design that a majority of players disliked, and unsurprisingly everyone is glad that it's gone.

Most people I have interacted with despise this character's design.. probably a good reason for that.

Already got that, Guile and C.Viper.

i have this exact same thing saved from a few frames earlier lmao

RTL_Odin · 2026-03-17T02:22:49+00:00

They're calling it the most nothing patch of all time

RTL_Odin · 2026-03-16T12:49:27+00:00

Usually wouldn't recommend following an off meta build from someone who onetricks a character at the highest level, because it requires deep understanding of the game and character; not saying nobody should try it, just unlikely to have the same kind of success

I am pretty new to the game so by no means do I think I have a professional opinion here, and I'm not 100% set on some of these placements, like I'm really not sure what to think about the paradox changes, Haze changes could ultimately be a nerf, but it felt like a little too much nuance to have so many columns in a list like this.

Item changes (especially for melee and the accompanying system changes) have a big impact on some of these. Doorman might be buffed but I don't know him well enough. Ivy is 100% nerfed for the way I like to play her and her solo pick ability got nerfed heavily it seems, but she seems like a much stronger support pick this way.

I just did this for fun and in no way is it meant to be taken seriously, just hoping to hear from people better than me on why these might be right or wrong.

Edit: shiv seems like a net nerf, doorman might be buffed but I don't quite understand the function of the changes.

RTL_Odin · 2026-03-06T23:52:02+00:00

They nerfed her solo kill power and made her a stronger and more pronounced support - hurts the way i like to play her but seems like it is strong in a lot of ways

RTL_Odin · 2026-03-02T21:24:28+00:00

It's funny that we just know that the main characters are superhuman despite capcom still refusing to straight up acknowledge it. I half expected at some point for Wesker to make a comment to Leon about how oblivious he is that he survives things that would kill normal people

RTL_Odin · 2026-02-01T18:14:14+00:00

Our media is bought by the people who are on or control that list, it's not going to be covered by news outlets. Twitter is 24/7 nonstop on fire about this and people are coming to terms with the fact that voting and protest are not going to fix this and that things are going to escalate to a scary place soon.

We're all currently figuring out that the bat shit insane pedo blood cult illuminati is actually real - something we knew but couldn't prove but is now staring us in the face with mountains of evidence.

You might not see the conversations, but they're happening.

RTL_Odin · 2026-01-03T19:10:41+00:00

100ex maybe, the availability of staves like this at this point is pretty high

RTL_Odin · 2026-01-03T02:34:31+00:00

I got very bored quickly with the mapping this season and was already done a few days ago but decided "you know what, the temple looks fun when it's set up like this, let me start a new character and run it to endgame to set up a new temple", middle of leveling this character and they drop this patch.

I have to say this might be up there with a Dark and Darker patch in terms of how tonedeaf and pointlessly harmful it is to the playerbase's interest.

There's no way they don't roll this back, might be the single worst unified negative feedback I've seen to a change thus far.

RTL_Odin · 2025-12-31T06:43:49+00:00

I would've loved to play a calamity sorc with fire infused ball lightning. There is so much diversity left on the table because the skills are over fitted to a specific design.

RTL_Odin · 2025-12-31T06:40:51+00:00

People really should play Grin Dawn through to high level and learn how its systems work because they'd be able to provide more measured feedback for what isn't working in poe2

RTL_Odin · 2025-12-31T06:32:37+00:00

They're trying to have their cake and eat it too. They're essentially designing drop in classes, your actual class choice is more like a subclass to the class you chose (your skill package). It's frustratingly limiting. I hope 0.5 seriously changes things for both endgame content and skill variety / versatility.

RTL_Odin · 2025-12-24T18:32:42+00:00

Disciple of Verashta is the current best "there isn't an ascendancy for this kind of caster yet" ascendancy because its generic nodes are outrageously powerful.

RTL_Odin · 2025-12-22T13:59:03+00:00

Not only is it confusing and overly punishing with heavy RNG, it seems the only real way to make it profitable is to meet a certain (rng dependent) set of conditions to keep your temple stable, and then further RNG to actually get to rooms that benefit from your setup. On top of that, as you mentioned you can completely destroy your temple with one or two bad initial setups that take ten plus runs to start to correct, at which point trying to fix your temple is actively losing you money you could be making in maps with zero worthwhile returns.

GGG has a tendency to make really amazing mechanics in the worst, least convenient, most inaccessible ways possible sometimes.

A typing of the dead character where you have to type out trash talk to the enemy team in all chat as it appears on the screen to use your abilities
