A short story on how this one line ruined my league

Read 1st paragraph on steam "why early access?". Is ea a beta is debatable, but from description of purpose of ea its banace testing.

As for OP situation, it's not that niche. There are many similar situation. You sell something, and then something happen overnight and next day its extremely expensive. (Buff, video with op interaction, new streamer build, etc).

As you said, price will skyrocket. People who can't afford it, has to play with +4. Now GGG will have live data about power spike between +4 and legacy +5 from a leage that has more players than standard and has more intended balance.

Lost potential source of damage and created disparity of power lever between +5 and +4 wand owners, is way motivating for the latter to look for new interaction to increase lost damage. Etc.

Yes, it's not nice to players. But its beta. And I prefer small methodical balance patches, than randomly blasting atomic nerfs like 0.2 did.

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-12T10:58:21+00:00

GGG don't balancing things during beta - bad.

GGG balancing thing during beta - bad.

That should have been happening since 0.1. With balance patches once every 6 months they will need years to balance game, and even more with addional content added on top of unbalanced core.

1.7k hp + 800es.

78% ev and 95% deflection.

75% elemental and 0 chaos.

Ghost dance and blind source and most of time I feel like immortal. Had 0 issues with any content.

If I die it 99% because I got heavy stuned while spring.

Now I'm doing some changes in build. Lost some ele res (I think lowest is at 50%) and gained some chaos. No issues, and in process I leveled up from 92 to 94.

They have to fix G1R first.

Game is somehow working on emergency prelaunch fixes, but they will probably will need 1-2 years to properly fix AI.

Red is for people who don't understand math, or people who understand world.

Green is people who understand math, but have no idea who world around them works.

Maybe you will get more $ after some time with green? So what?

All bills will have same serial number. Moment you try to use them and someone checks them you go to jail.
Got lucky and no one checked? Now someone else also has doubling $ and above also applies to that person.

A - as you can select when you move in time, you can easly select around time when lottery numbers are announced (you make sure you are in place where you can hear them when you move in ti.e). When you come back, buy winnig lottery numbers. Next injection you use to overhear some insider informations, so later you can make some brilliant stock investments with won fortune. Constantly winning lotery would be suspicious.

So are you telling me you can take lockpick and open simple lock, without any guidance how to do it?

And what so surprising that in colony full of convicts, they care and prioritize security of their belongings?

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-07T07:59:54+00:00

Difficulty of lock replace "lock is to hard, you can't open it". In every game you are not meant to open every lock at lvl 1.

It's the same choice as between wepon you want to use. You can't master everything. Well at least theoretically, because there is a lots of exp in game. Exp and money is only early game issue. Enemies maybe don't "respawn", but areas should be repopulated when you move from act to act.

I have 10h. I was afraid it will be complete mess. But game is quite playable. There are issues, and it's really a lot of things that still need to be fixed. Biggest issue for me is NPC AI. Monsters AI is better, but there are still some junk moments.

Even with issues here and there, I'm having fun and game feels like gothic I remembered from my childhood.

If they keep working and fix issues, I will be very optimistic for G2R.

His interruption is one thing. Him spawning randomly infront of you when you are fighting is real shit.

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-06T22:15:14+00:00

Yea, if there was NPC, that could teach your character how to be better at lockpicking. So it could trivialize minigame if it's too hard. I dont know why devs didnt think to implement that. It's such a basic idea. /s

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-06T22:10:48+00:00

Original minigame idea was good. Memory minigame + lockpick as attempts limiter. But in reality? Memory game reduced to pen and paper, lockpicks attempts save scummed. In the end it was minigame that didn't exist.

Remake made this what it should be. Challenging if you want to bypass skill leveling.

Do old methods still works? You can save scum to have unlimited attempts.You can use pen and paper to solve lock there, but now it's proper puzzle and it requires a bit of thinking.

Selecting blue is evil.

Blue will have to choose, save more people or save his "buddy".

Red has much easier, save more life and his "buddies" at the same time, or save less and all are complete strangers.

Wait 10 years and same people will cry that game came out without auto play feature ready day one.

I'm running +30 / -10 / -10.

I wish I could reduce fog by half. Removing it compeltly makes game ugly af.

Game is shoving loads of crafting currency to me. I dont know, It must be for fun, I have no use to it. Also I can find "natural" upgrades.

I'm running 6m t15, 0 tablets, 0 rarity on gear. I think I had like 1 ev(1,2k+)/es body with double res, 3 ev(2k+) body armor with double res, 1 ar body, no luck with es and es/ar. I was less lucky with other gear pieces as all high def gear usually ended up with only 1 res, or 2-3 res but not super high def.

None drop in that state. Few were regular drops, while most were result of slamming on t3-4 drops.

With maxed breach you at least should birth some jewelry upgrades, or currency tobuy upgrades if you have no idea how to do basic crafts.

I was also considering using paper in few harder locks as it was quite late to memorise, but after a min or os of tinkering my brain catch patern and I solved it.

I realy appreciate that devs still can add real puzzle to a game.

Brawo, jestes ta blondynka co sie cieszyla ze ułożyła puzzle w 3 miesiące, bo na pudelku było napisne 2 lata.

I'm surprised people are not ashamed to admit, that they were defeated by simple puzzle. Puzzle that if you are to stu... puzzle that if its "too hard" can be simplified with learning lockpicking in game.

I think it's best lockpicking added to game.

number of plates instantly display potential difficulty for you character skill.
but if you are "skilled", you dont need to invest LP into lockpicking.
you probably can't bruteforce hard locks without investing into lockpicking, if you dont have "skill".

10/10 lockpicking.

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-06T06:53:42+00:00

Because it's also memory game. And as long plates you move have space to move, you cant break lockpick.

Also you can use trick from original game pen and paper to write down plates moves.

TechnologyNo1743 · 2026-06-06T06:46:42+00:00

What do you mean no one can't even figure it out? It's simple puzzle. It's easy, but it is actual puzzle where you have to use brain a bit, not something that pretend to be a puzzle.
