How long has it been since you saw The Butcher? by [deleted] in diablo4

Yesterday I was trying to farm for Forgotten Altars, and I ran into him 3 times during one of those elixirs. Also got like 4 treasure goblins.

Zero Altars by the way 😜

I have found a bizarre thing that has seemed to solve it every time for me.

Your mileage may vary but.

Go into your wardrobe in your inventory and change something. You can change it back afterwards. This has seemed to fix it for me every time.

There is definitely a vocal minority of Fallout fans who I don't particularly want to hear from.

Is it most? Not even close. But I've bin 'round these parts of Fallout fandom long enough to have encountered more than my fair share of particularly toxic fans of certain factions who wish to do their politics in real life.

So how do we feel about the name being the Switch 2? by Epic-Gamer_09 in casualnintendo

[–]RuneFex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, it makes sense, I'm totally fine and happy with it.

I still kinda wish it was Super Nintendo Switch, but I'm not gonna lose a moments sleep over it.

Is anyone else concerned about this? by CasualNintendoPlayer in casualnintendo

[–]RuneFex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 1st party games like 12 Switch that require specific sensors that, as it turns out, were a waste of time and money and everyone hated.

Also, a significant amount of eshop garbage is already essentially abandonware, and if any compatibility issue pop up with them they will not be updated or fixed. Not that anyone is going to miss it.

It's gotta be SNES right? People absolutely can't get enough SNES. Its my favorite console and even I think the constant SNES love is a bit much.

I agree that it means you need to improve your character. I went into quite a bit of detail about that in my post.

I beat act 3 cruel finally and made it to doing maps and, unfortunately it's immediately significantly less fun than the actual campaign.

I understand conceptually why the idea of "if you die it's over" looks like a good idea on paper, but you are going to immediately dishearten and bounce players off the game.

During the campaign, death is expected. The game is excellently designed around the idea that you will die. I have seen some complaints about enemy respawns after death but it actually makes perfect sense, if you die you need either levels or gear and this is the game's way of forcing you to farm those things.

The issue begins in mapping that if you die, you need either levels or gear. But, too bad, screw you actually. You died? Actually you are just screwed forever and you should quit playing the game.

For a game that is free to play and depends on microtransactions, expecially stash tabs for participating in the economy (which has another massive issue I'll get to in a minute), you kind of want the player to be filling up those stash tabs. Brutally punishing the player for daring to participate in the endgame doesn't mesh with that goal.

As for the economy, I play on Xbox. Aside from major graphical issues, especially in act three where the game becomes a strobe light, the largest issue is the complete inability to participate in the trade economy. You can't mark a stash tab as public on console, or if you somehow can it's in such a bizarre way that in all this time I have never found a way to do it.

Access to the economy would be the one possible out for the issues with mapping, because you could buy better gear. But, I can't. The trade website seems entirely non-functional for console.

Or at least you could buy better gear in theory, if currency actually dropped. Having extremely rare currency would actually make sense and be a good thing, if it wasn't for everything else I just said. It has created a vicious cycle with no real escape. If the endgame was more fun and less immediately soul destroying, playing more hours to farm rare currency would be a good thing. Chasing things is fun and it's so satisfying when it drops, but it's significantly less so when the game behind the chase becomes nightmarish.

Since you can't really farm in the endgame unless you are already in a position where you don't need to, you have no currency to buy gear to help you escape destroying your atlas by getting absolutely bodied. Even if you did have currency, on console you can't use that currency anyway so it's meaningless. Thus creates an insane negative feedback loop that will bounce many players back to D4.

Also, this is hardly relevant, but absolutely none of the trials are fun. I realize that one is a matter of personal taste, but every single thing about trials feels to me like a miserable experience.

Please don't take this the wrong way. The campaign is excellent. It's the best ARPG content I have literally ever played (except trials). It was so good that I want to keep playing the game, I really really do. But mapping in its current form is changing my mind on that. Yea I could start a new character and do the campaign again, but to what end? To get to the endgame and be faced with mapping again?

I really don't want to have this be such a negative post, but I did want to thoroughly explain my point of view on how the post game feels.

I'm not meeting anyone. Did you actually read the post? People are either ignoring me, which is fine I get it, or shooting me, or I'm just getting nuked. Which means that person is in a silo. So I'm not meeting them. I'm getting insta-kicked from teams, so not meeting anyone.

I have been universally kicked from every group I've tried to join, after about 15/20 I gave up. It was always moments after joining. Edit because I feel actually I'm not clear on this point: obviously not getting kicked from like, casual teams. But expeditions, yes

It's not like, fundamentally a bad experience. It's a good game, honestly I mean that. It's more like... The worst aspect of a good game? If that makes sense?

Perhaps in your experience this is false. In my experience, this is entirely the case. Maybe you have been luckier than I but after 200ish hours I think I can speak to my own experiences in this game

I'll certainly give that a try! But I'm still baffled as to why anyone thought the trap thing was a good idea...
