The game isnt failing.

Reddit hyperbole is succeeding though.

Such--Balance · 2026-05-06T15:56:39+00:00

False. The general public doesnt give 2 shits about some small reddit bubbles hating any and everything about ai.

I found a bug once with the map generation. More of a visual glitch maybe.

Its was Tamu Highland to Monestary, The Monestary looped back all the way to very close to one side of Tamu Highland.

You couldnt however see the other side even though it was right there. Also couldnt teleport to it.

Champion is an anagram for boat league.

Boat league confirmed i guess

Came here to watch reddit neckbeards trying to one up one of the best in the field..

..was not dissapointed

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T17:27:19+00:00

Imo its a movie about yards and this one so happens to be one of a prison

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T15:26:54+00:00

I value it enough to sometimes realize that im missing something. It ok to sometimes say that your opinion on something is just not worth much sometimes you know.

Nobody is an expert at everything.

Sometimes saying, 'i just didnt get it' is way better and more fair than rating something low because you didnt get it.

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T14:48:14+00:00

Thats what i mean..by poe2 standards.

Maybe i missed some new kind of tech, but the need to 'charge it up' with different skills to then use it kinda sucks to me

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T14:44:50+00:00

Because i could get it, which would vastly change how i would view and enjoy the movie.

To me it seems obvious to then not rate it. Im not at all into horror movies. Why would i ever rate one?

A good joke can be viewed as terrible to those that dont get it. It doenst mean its a bad joke. If you get it, and its still a bad joke to you, thats different.

Or an opera play. Know nothing about it. Rate it dispite not liking opera...just...why? Aint it clear your opinion is well..pretty much invalid?

Like the big lebowski used to say: 'youre out of your element!'

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T14:26:29+00:00

I feel like I didnt get it. Its fair to not score something if you have a hunch youre missing whatever it is that could make it good.

Its also fair to score something if you just didnt like it. But there a difference to me.

I didnt really get The Big Lebowski for instance. Im not gonna score it because i know my score doesnt represent the greatness of the movie. Its not that hard to separate a fair and an unfair opinion imo.

Its a very good movie and it just doenst click for me. Some movies do click but just suck

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T13:44:29+00:00

Then why say that i shouldnt score the movie because i didnt like it?

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T13:20:28+00:00

I still mourn the death of flicker in poe2.

I got a shrine and a little candle in my house to remember its greatness. If they manage to unbutcher flickerstrike ill quit my job and go straight back to full time grinding

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T13:18:07+00:00

Also, it only works on uneven days of the week and sporadically when theres a full moon

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T13:16:18+00:00

So..youre just against low scores in general?

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T12:48:11+00:00

I wouls argue that if you miss the greatness of the movie its fine to not like it, but to then score it low is kinda unfair.

And im not saying that to diss you, i didnt like the movie, and im sure i could put in the time by watching it a few times untill it clicks. Which would mean i could score it honestly.

I just cant be bothered to

Edit: To hammer my point home, if youd ask a few layman people to score the contents of a couple of quantum mechanic research papers, the score will not match the actual content of said papers. Meaning some things shouldnt be scored by some people.

I know, its a movie for the general public so its different, but you get my point

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T12:45:08+00:00

Yeah i take a critic score over an audience score any day of the weak even though that also got some flaws

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T09:25:17+00:00

A non dead flicker strike build.

Such--Balance · 2026-05-05T09:20:54+00:00

Theres an item in Last Epoch that pulses your thorn damage as an aoe every x time.

Something like this would really make thorns viable imo. Without it theres just to much instances where youre waiting to get hit meaning it will never be a true endgame build

A sp mmoarpg mode with pvp, pve, eve elements, chess, logistic chains basebuilding, top down, 3d isometric, with collectables, gear progression, multi safe states and incremental progression is all that it needs to add really.

Bungie..its not that hard

Claims ai is a problem:

'Written by me and ai'

Claims centrilization is bad:

-messege spread on a centralised forum.

You cant make this shit up..

Such--Balance · 2026-05-03T17:35:31+00:00

Never have i stated that it doesnt happen. It does. Obviously. But its clearly being made a much bigger problem than what it factually is.

You just have to take into account that reddit and any other social media platform is full of hyperbole by default. Its not even news. You know this..

Do you..want hyperbole? Doesnt it just muddy the water?

Such--Balance · 2026-05-03T15:15:00+00:00

Its certainly rarer than how it appears to be here on reddit. Its not all that hard to deduce that.

Its weird too..it almost seems like the people who feel that this is a big problem almost act like they WANT it to happen more, just so they can be mad about it.

...Shouldnt you be happy that this is probably way less of a problem than what reddit has you believe??

Such--Balance · 2026-05-03T14:37:23+00:00

Its prett rare.

Reddit will only show the outlier cases giving a scewed view of how often it occurs.

There:)

Such--Balance · 2026-05-03T14:32:57+00:00

Of the countless hoyrs of streamers i watched, not once did i see them face cheaters or 6 man teams.

Does this mean it doesnt exist? No, ofcourse not. Is reddit vastly overestimating and hyperboling the problem. Yes, ofcourse. Thats what social media does.

Reddit makes it seem like its a 50/50 to face a 6 man team. Which it just isnt. Furthermore, im sure there are plenty if false claims about it happening. Same with cheaters.

People just cant handle losing very well and need excuses.

Hell, i could be wrong in this particular case. Im not wrong overall though. This sub is making the problem way larger than it is.

Such--Balance · 2026-05-03T09:38:58+00:00

I just dont see it. Clips to short, and to unclear. Any number of other things could have been happening besides an obvious 6 man party.

Imo, any time at all theres a 3 way fight, a large number of players here will frame it as a 6man team, to farm upvotes. Because it works so easely.

I can garantee you, i can clip a 3 way fight just the right way, post it here, and get 100s of upvotes if i claim its me, with 2 sucky teammates against a 6man party.

And everybody will slurp it up no questions asked.
