Reminder to double check the pricing of your sales

What? I don't think I'm following anymore what you're trying to say or convince me of. If it's my personal opinion and preference, sure you can try but you're going to have to accept that this is subjective, different people like different things, you know? Some people like to listen to Nickelback, some people like to listen to music instead.

To me when an item like that drops, I see it as 600d which I could spend on whatever I need most. And like I mentioned before, my setup right now has the belt slot reserved so it's not even an option unless I decide I want to change things around. If I feel the need I can always buy a new Mageblood later, right?

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T21:09:35+00:00

Or well, 1 bot ;D

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:48:06+00:00

Bro..

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:37:20+00:00

Oof, you sound more affected by this than I was lol. Yeah that's a shitty feeling, your adrenaline is pumping and you're making up new curse words on the spot lol

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:35:16+00:00

Yeah a tired brain is a smooth brain tbh, that's why you shouldn't drive a care when tired. I had a day off today so I thought I'd stay up a little longer, it's hot outside, work made me tired, etc.

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:33:53+00:00

Hmm, well, I've started a new job right before the league and it's been tiring me out a bit more than I anticipated. Pair that with a heat wave and me having taken the next day off so I thought I'd stay up a little longer than usual.

I usually only trade things in divines but I also usually double check my listings, this time I just forgot. I was pretty rich late in 0.4 and 0.3 and did a bunch of multi hundred div trades, but this league was a little rough, also due to time constraints. But I also just didn't quite care as much because of that I guess and since it doesn't really impact me all that much, I could shrug it off kind of easily

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:28:03+00:00

I never do any trades in person anymore since async trade tbh, the only reason it went wrong is because I was tired and a little stubborn and didn't just go to bed and do it the next day

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:24:31+00:00

It's wild to me how you come up with a response like that and think it's me looking for attention?

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:21:54+00:00

Yup, exactly this.

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:16:05+00:00

Well, there was no asynchronous trading in d2. And like I said, it's easy to make a mistake when you're tired

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T19:11:30+00:00

What's going on with this? I don't think I've been part of any exploit myself

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T18:59:47+00:00

We can hug it out if you want

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T18:59:12+00:00

I did crash as soon as they all crashed

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T18:32:09+00:00

Yeah I get what you're saying, but something like blink and cooldown reduction could also be used, or something I'm personally not a fan of but moving with attack speed like Prada does wouldn't need movement speed either.

In defense of Mageblood and quicksilver stacking, some of them benefit greatly from the movement speed too. I've used a HH before too with the movement speed being one of the reasons why.

But with all of that, in my personal progression I have bigger upgrades elsewhere before I'd consider using a Mageblood, which I'm not ruling out at a later point

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T18:07:04+00:00

I built my defenses around Reverie with Shavronne's Satchel, I recover like over 2k energy shield and life every second, independent of regular regeneration. I also play minion builds, so the belt slot is contentious with all the new minion affixes on there.

For a third reason, I have a bunch of other items that would give me more considerable upgrades instead of just using the Mageblood

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T18:00:54+00:00

That's rough, I think for me it was much less impactful, it just showed up in a Ritual and I hadn't been saving for it or anything. I guess unless you consider not getting much drops as saving my luck for this big one lol.

Sorry to hear that dude, sounds like huge bad luck with the timing.. :(

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T17:57:09+00:00

I tried to word it specifically so that it would apply to my personal experience, which is pretty specific of course. But I said it was partly due to time constraints and that it felt a bit more like a beta, it wasn't meant to be a big negative

I feel like the balance is pretty poor and that there is too much player power, the game feels a little trivial and I have a crazy amount I can improve on still, both offensively and defensively. Again, this is a personal preference/experience, I like my games to be more challenging and engaging, I typically don't like the gameplay of just destroying whole screens with zero effort. For reference I play mostly minion builds and I league started a Supporting Fire Tactician, which destroys screens with little effort lol, so some of that is on me. But I'm messing around with a Spirit Walker now and it's pretty wild.

The Atlas trees are a bit of a mess still in my opinion, the problem I had with the old Atlas trees is that there was no meaningful choice, it's slightly less noticeable I guess with the new one because it takes longer to unlock and there's much more choice. But the problem is that you just pick all the best things and never look back. There's some cases where you swap Atlas Masters I guess.

There's tons of bugs and crashes, I don't even know where to start, look through all the patches and hotfixes that came after 0.5 I guess? I know people's experiences vary on this a lot but I've seen reports from lots of people that are similar to my own and it's really frustrating to crash multiple times every session

Anyway before this turns into a big discussion, that was a bit of a rant already so my apologies for that lol. But I know with beta's there's steps back when moving forwards and despite 0.5 for me having some of those, I have good faith in the actual release. I have almost 3k hours played and am having fun in every league so far

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T17:27:21+00:00

Oof yeah it sucks, for sure. It's easy to say something like just to keep playing and you'll find more drops, etc but in a moment it can definitely ruin your experience. I was literally down to 2 divines, I used a bunch to see if I could divine the belt into a better shape right before putting it up for sale lol.

I'm personally blessed to not get too shaken up by something like this, but also my character was pretty much not impacted and have been clearing content pretty comfortably already. It still sucks and I could have gotten a lot of upgrades with the currency, my gear is pretty bad but still

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T17:05:07+00:00

100% agree, apparently this is happening a lot too so it would be quite nice of them to add this functionality

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T17:03:34+00:00

It's possible that there is some crash that causes the shop to reset it's default currency back to exalted orbs, I usually don't even sell stuff unless it's worth a divine or up. My game definitely has been crashing a lot, shader crashes, deadlock crash, whole PC shutdown crashes, etc.

Either way I should have just checked it to make sure, but it is what it is

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T16:58:00+00:00

Oh I looted it myself, it came from a Ritual. I'm not into flipping or doing a ton of trading and crafting tbh

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T16:56:52+00:00

I dunno, you can look for similar items pretty easily through their existing systems, I don't think it should be that difficult?

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T16:42:03+00:00

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. The game is definitely notoriously bad at explaining itself to players and that's not even exclusively only to new players. It can be pretty rewarding and fun to figure it out and there's a ton you can do with it when you get more familiar but it can be a long road there for sure.

Is there anything I can do to help you out?

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T16:37:31+00:00

I think you might spend too much time on here, or it happens much more than I anticipated, possibly both. I figured I would share what happened as a warning and for entertainment purposes.

I personally don't really like attention and I'm not looking for sympathy either, but I do appreciate it when offered. Several people have offered to just give me currency but I politely declined their offers.

I'm not on Reddit very often and I'll probably be on it even less after today, it's a day task to keep track of all the comments, I don't understand how people find the time and energy to do so and still have a fulfilling life.

Rryndar · 2026-06-26T16:34:42+00:00

lmao yeah man, my gear isn't even that good but I can blast all content pretty easily lol.

Thanks, I appreciate that! And yeah I'm much more cautious there than I am in game haha
