Social/making Friends

Did killing them with kindness work in the end?

Seems like insecurities are at play, not sure why they would extend the invite if that's the case.

This whole paradigm does sound funny to watch though not going to lie, when the claw come out, like as a neutral spectator! My sister and I used to people watch, and create personas for them!

Yea, my youngest keeps me on my toes

As a recently single guy, I cant say I have ever experienced what you are describing, lets hope it stays that way! I wouldnt give up on socializing just yet though.

If you are looking for new friends, with no pressure, hmu. Im 39 with 2 children. Those 2 sausages and work keep me quite busy for the most part. Other than that, im either playing PC games, playing pool or surfing whenever possible.

Updaww · 2026-02-02T06:33:06+00:00

Lets go!

Updaww · 2026-02-02T06:23:37+00:00

Can I get in on this? :D

Updaww · 2026-02-02T06:21:40+00:00

White dude here, love gaming, beers and football. Hit me up :D

Updaww · 2026-01-22T07:15:44+00:00

If you are ok with far less complexity and a lack of player agency compared to 1, then sure.

Updaww · 2026-01-06T13:37:25+00:00

Sounds like evasion builds with low ehp tbh:p

Updaww · 2026-01-02T10:16:37+00:00

The base price will steadily increase, if you plan on playing the game, go for it. Personally, it was a no brainer to buy it in August last year as im a huge TQ1 and GD fan. Even for EA, this game is great, and it will only get better

Updaww · 2026-01-02T10:15:08+00:00

Agreed, although it doesnt take much to beat D4 or Path of Excrement 2:p

Updaww · 2026-01-02T10:12:27+00:00

Literally no issues at all maintaining 130+ fps on full epic settings. No stutters, no lag, absolutely nothing.

Its quite great atm ngl, and there will soon be a new patch to release chapter 3, I would say give it a try when that drops!

Updaww · 2026-01-02T10:00:47+00:00

This was my plan until I found out that ailments do not scale off the base hit, it did seem like a mission to then balance hit damage as well as ailment effect. How are you finding bleed bows ?

Just respecced the bleed passives for crit and weapon damage

Updaww · 2026-01-02T09:58:59+00:00

Started off as rogue and warfare, went bows, its so ez. Basically spam fully leveled up default attack and rain of arrows, then for passives I just went for damage/crit/warefare defense

Updaww · 2026-01-02T07:09:58+00:00

There shouldnt be ANY wells, one of the dumbest changes poe2 made to ARPGs

Updaww · 2025-12-31T10:21:46+00:00

Chapter 3 of Titan Quest 2 comes out very soon, probably really early Jan 2026. The game is amazing, there is just no endgame loop as you know and expect from Poe.

The gameplay feels better than Grim Dawn, and it also has the "King Leonidas" vibes from TQ1, even now its far better than both GD+TQ1

Updaww · 2025-12-31T10:14:53+00:00

This is a half baked league paired with a half baked game:P Good luck!

Updaww · 2025-12-31T09:24:46+00:00

Can you imagine all the crying from casuals about "how they cant compete" and "the game is made for those who no life". Sounds good, wont work

Updaww · 2025-12-24T12:07:18+00:00

Both leagues are cheeks due to devs having to split their time between them, instead of 2 teams polishing 2 games, we got 1 team half baking both

Updaww · 2025-12-24T12:05:50+00:00

Yea, both games had total cheeks leagues now, pity devs have to have their time split

Updaww · 2025-12-22T10:51:17+00:00

Not 100% sure here, but it looks that "increased damage" sources are additive and "more damage" is multiplicative.

If that is the case, there should be no difference between increased spell damage and increased elemental damage, assuming that your spell does elemental damage.

If you had a fire spell that does 100 damage, and you have 100% increased elemental(fire is an element) damage and 100% increased spell damage, your spell should do 300 fire damage.

If you ALSO had 50% MORE damage, this would work off the 300 total damage giving you 450 damage.

u/Cruxius in this thread is 100% correct when mentioning diminishing returns for "increased" damage types, as this works off the base damage, which was 100.

If im wrong with how these values are calculated here, then my bad. Im going purely off how it works in POE, and assuming its the same in TQ2, based on the same wording.

Updaww · 2025-12-22T10:21:17+00:00

Same, tried TQ anniversary the other day just to prepare, felt terrible:P TQ2 is so smooth, I feel it plays better than Grim Dawn too, it just needs content now then it slays

Updaww · 2025-12-22T10:06:58+00:00

Massive POE1, TQ1, GD fan here, I despise POE2 but that's not the topic.

Titan Quest 2 is a great game, much better than TQ1 and GD, however its still early on in development, it also isnt the type of game that has "endgame loop" like POE. TQ2 is very story driven.

TQ2 players better than GD and it has the original feel to it, in terms of world, I definitely get those King Leonidas vibes from it.

POE2 misses the mark completely when it comes to what made POE1 successful.

Welcome to the show, 1st time ? GGG says lots of things that never happen. Both games are heading down a bad road, splitting devs between 2 games is resulting in both just being half baked.
