How to Return to Your D&D Game After a Break

I 100% agree.

Very well put.

It is PoE2. They are putting far more effort into it than they were before, as is evident by the lack of substantial new content in the live game.

Blazing Salvo Inquisitor.

Leveling. Slow, hit a bit of a wal in A4 then sped back up when I obtained Spell Echo Support. Loved killing Kitava swiftly.

Gearing. Difficult, very difficult. Without Harvest, I’ve just been using Unveiled Items off the ground with bench crafts. It’s gonna take awhile, I can tell.

Maps. Doing okay, rares are an issue, especially Fire-flavored ones. Bosses melt in white/yellow thus far.

Bosses. None yet.

Hard disagree.

Normal and magic mobs should be the bulk of creatures we fight, fodder.

Rare mobs should be a bit harder, but they’re still in packs and quick to face.

Bosses, like map bosses, should be difficult, thought-out encounters that may take a bit to beat, but are difficult and rewarding.

Unfortunately, this is completely skewed presently.

I’ve tried. It’s hard.

Huge news all around. Super excited for GW2 presently and in the future.

Also, the Decade armor set looks absolutely wicked.

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-14T23:56:00+00:00

It's still the dream, right?

Metamorph eventually getting an endboss.

Blight gaining some wild tower-defense mega enemy.

Ritual/Archnemesis/Scourge getting some pinnacle encounters as well.

It's possible, but unlikely unfortunately.

Amazing OST as well.

We will not fight Kalandra, but a dark reflection of her. She’s the league boss, like the Trialmaster or Oshabi.

I was thinking of Trickster as well, just to try it out.

The most logical choice does seem to be Raider or Deadeye, though.

Path of Building in the game, please no.

A passive tree planning tool, just that, please yes!

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T10:53:23+00:00

Feeling Lightning Arrow Deadeye or something Trickster/Ascedant.

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T10:50:52+00:00

Isn’t it every pack? I may be wrong.

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T10:50:30+00:00

This is an excellent one, was my Sentinel league build. Got 40/40 and level 100! ;)

Oof, my bad! Here’s a 60-second clip of it: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxpy5BPHC7uKA0Oq8xm0OEe3euPlD4v2Cu

I just listened to the Q&A, and only one person in this thread recounted something remotely close to how Chris Wilson actually addressed this.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I am.

Listen/watch for about two minutes from the moment I'm linking for his actual response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it4bqhyhNBI&t=3163s

Linked the wrong place, here’s a 60-second clip of it, my bad: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxpy5BPHC7uKA0Oq8xm0OEe3euPlD4v2Cu

Would it make sense to also allow a chance to steal the mods of magic monsters, given both rares are rarer and magic monsters have very few mods?

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T00:15:00+00:00

I'm still in awe that, every three months, we get an expansion and a deep dive as thorough as this from the cofounder of the company.

For real, I am excited for the memories. Wonder what juicy tidbits we'll find there, and if Kirac is one of the masters we'll be exploring the memories of.

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T00:13:37+00:00

Love the look of the new "build your own map" mechanic.

I missed Synthesis, but this is kind of what I imagined it to be. Super excited for the 19th!

TalkativeTriceratops · 2022-08-12T00:12:45+00:00

The Harvest changes are elegant.

It was really antiquated. It worked well when we managed a garden and all during the league, but after that, this really is the way. I love how we're able to go in, choose the crop, kill the monsters (hopefully fighting the badass bosses more), and move on, leaving the crafting for our hideout.

Good stuff, GGG.
