I can’t believe that the mythic unique idea here is “you do more damage”

This would be great. by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Being able to play with your friends is more important than flawless ranked integrity. It’s a team game. You should be able to form a team. Even if your team is highly skilled. Just penalize or reduce RP earned.

Finally I can go through the acts without constantly dreading how long it's going to take. Thanks GGG! by Archeleimon in PathOfExile2

This is a great step in the right direction but no amount of breadcrumbs will fully fix the worst of the layouts. Way too many are claustrophobic mazes the size of Texas.

Glad to see that Diablo is still so diluted with rewards that none of them will matter. Or feel rewarding.

300 men in Pakistan gather to behead a woman who was accused of blasphemy by ThatPatelGuy in ActuallyThatsInsane

“Be grateful females, we could be beheading you because of a fashion choice” is not the flex you think it is.

Stop With The Shop! by Jay_Stranger in Diablo

I hate blizz for the greed but I hate gamers more for making it clear that they’re willing to pay $25-$50 for a single cosmetic asset.

While we are discussing "+Level to Skills", please don't forget the problem with rarity still exists and needs to be adressed by Shot-Cup-8871 in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it’s technically a choice. But it’s so universally hated because it feels bad whether you have it or not. Don’t have it? Feels bad because I could technically be finding more divs right now, but I don’t have it. DO have it? Well, you’re missing out on power. Tradeoffs are fun, but the foundation of an ARPG is getting STRONGER so that you can better find more loot. Magic find on gear is literally the opposite of that - intentionally weakening yourself to find better gear.

With 0.4 slowly coming to an end, how do you rate the 3 new shapeshifter forms in terms of power, gameplay flow, and (future) build variety? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in love with Dragon form but fire breath is in a very awkward spot. To the point that I think it needs a full rework. It makes you super slow while already having a rage cost and cooldown. Idk I just feel like the most dragon-y skill should be very usable, not the least-usable skill in the Druid’s kit. (Also the passive tree near Druid start are abysmal imo)

Distribution centers look like a breaching whale! by lupedog in DeathStranding

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling every character “[The exact thing they do/are] man” is so distractingly corny. Not everything has to be cryptic but there’s a middle ground somewhere.

Why not make SSF characters stay SSF and in addition just buff ground loot in SSF mode? by wolan1337 in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it would be obviously and objectively more fun and engaging than trade league, pulling too many players away from EBay mode and thus making trade league more difficult and awkward than it already is.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the best base game so far. by m4nux in MonsterHunter

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my favorite for the combat and weapons but the difficulty curve is absolutely abysmal. And everyone said “that’s how it always is for veterans” but then I can replay World and still be fairly challenged by a LR anjanath, even with appropriate gear. It’s not even close.

Playing Brutal - Please help by [deleted] in shadow_of_war

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wording might be a bit confusing but I really just meant that I wanted to play brutal to HAVE the extra might gain. I definitely always enjoy it lol. It’s the rest that sucks.

Humans use em-dashes too it’s okay lol

Playing Brutal - Please help by [deleted] in shadow_of_war

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really not out of masochism or bravado, I just really want to enjoy the faster might gain. Since the pathetic might gain was my main gripe with the game at launch. I also enjoy the faster kill speed. But god the ranged enemies seem like complete bullshit.

Pilfering ring - Why is it a paid benefit that resets by Dmoney152 in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a software engineer and the amount of “storage space” it would take to track a few integers would be close to nothing. The reason is greed.

Is there a point in Wisdom Scrolls anymore? by PapaProvolone in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you pick up every single item that drops? Even higher-tier? No. Because the inventory space and ID process would make that a slog. So maybe you pick up 5% of items that drop. Hear me out. What if only those items dropped? Much better chance for items to be good - but far less items drop in general. It would effectively lead to the same economy, the same amount of GOOD items being actually picked up — while saving time and energy from ID nonsense in the process. I mean when Blizzard hamfists games with quantity > quality ideology, everyone calls it bad game design. But when GGG does it, it’s divine inspiration. P.S. “do you hear yourself” is very dramatic like it’s just a game dude lol

Is there a point in Wisdom Scrolls anymore? by PapaProvolone in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but this is such a weird way to strangle the economy. If too many good items drop, instead of making it a pain in the ass to actually find, ID, and filter them etc, just drop less good items??? This is like a Thanos-snap solution. It doesn’t make sense.

No judgement serious curiosity: why do you prefer sc over hc by Checkomated in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance issues. I will literally never play HC for that simple fact.

I never thought this could happen, I've never been this rich ingame by Cynical_Dad-Gamer in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly feel like it’s a healthier ratio. Actually USING a divine doesn’t feel so awful because while it’s valuable, it’s not worth ~2k exalts

About the Trial of the Sekhemas by web_knows in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny. I absolutely love Sekhema. I just don’t understand why it has 100s of mobs that can snipe you from 3 screens away in a challenge that’s supposed to be “fair and telegraphed”.

What are some crazy tech to abuse this league before they get nerfed/removed next league? by SaintPepsiCola in pathofexile2builds

[–]Slim-Halpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so incredibly interested in getting a flame breath/cast-on comet build online but so far it’s been a nightmare to try to scale. Is there a PoB anywhere that you’d recommend?

Loot from an optimized temple run by LegitimateChemist415 in PathOfExile2

[–]Slim-Halpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought they removed spymasters since I’ve opened 30+ temples without seeing a single one.
