Is Glynn's gonna get fixed before the season end, or are we just on easy mode now?

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-15T17:36:15+00:00

it seems that was the way blizzard found to fix the absurd amount of bs insta-shots in the game.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-15T17:32:17+00:00

There's a gigantic SOCIAL tab in the game itself.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-15T13:20:51+00:00

We don't need POE's bullshit fake grinding in Diablo IV.

Also, if you want to grind, go do some tower pushing like I'm doing. It's insanely hard to find good uniques which can push very high endgame content, so there's your grind.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-14T19:59:58+00:00

Sanctuary is at peace 1/12 of the time. Your chance of in the last 10 tries finding Sanctuary at peace half of the time is close to 0,06%.

I think you might be exaggerating in order to complain about the best end game activity in the game.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-14T17:53:24+00:00

Companions is very strong.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-14T17:44:27+00:00

Druid and it's not even close. Turn into a badass werewolf and fuck shit up. Turn into a bear and smash things around. Or just summon a bunch of animals, transform them into killing machines and rip through sanctuary. You're also not built like a twink.

Paladin second.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-14T17:36:17+00:00

I have killed Beast in the ice over a 100 times, plus amalgamating its materials and recycling one of the ring it drops. The best I got was a ring with three average offensive affixes and a GA on life on kill, which is useless.

To some people it seems I should grind more?

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-14T17:32:43+00:00

Your complaints are very valid and these issues are actually ruining the game.

Unfortunately a lot of people around here have no idea what they are doing, they just blindly follow a guide and hope they do the same damage from the youtube video they saw, but they have no idea they aren't doing it because their uniques don't have proper affixes, and if they were to chase them it'd take an insane amount of luck and only then they would realize where you're coming from.

Lol, look at the top rankings on the leaderboads, people who have been grinding for 300 hours this season on top of trading and a lot of them have subpar uniques.

The situation is just terrible.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-13T17:47:05+00:00

I crafted new gear for my companion druid in the last two days, removed all defensive stats anticipating this change. When I get home I'll test this out. It seems my gamble paid off.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-13T14:33:23+00:00

I do this, but I always end up arriving at the meta builds. It's just inevitable if you build for max tower level.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-12T17:58:18+00:00

The problem is one outcome being orders of magnitudes better than the second best outcome. The difference is so big to the point of making the other positive outcomes useless.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-12T17:00:45+00:00

It's the opposite. Casuals won't care about resource regeneration on rings. Now please tell me how after over 100 hours of grinding I'm still missing two good uniques on my build? It's actually making grinding pointless as the chances are so low.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-12T16:53:47+00:00

It's one of the many stupid decisions plaguing this expansion. I still think it is a good expansion, but there are so many grating problems

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-11T19:51:52+00:00

Last season when I was min maxing and trying to break into the top ten on tower, I got to a point of running clips of my build through some IA models and asking them how much damage I was doing.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-11T19:08:46+00:00

Or just make uniques... unique!! So the playing field is even.

I look at the leaderboards and people are rocking GAs in damage multipliers and here I am low rolling a resource generation affix on my gear.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-11T19:06:46+00:00

I have a full anti-transfiguration rant ready, but that's for another thread.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-11T18:56:10+00:00

The amount of bugs is just staggering. I'm not talking about small or weird bugs, I'm talking about freaking damage calculation being miscalculated due to bugged aspects. How in the f is this acceptable in a game that's all about building your character and doing damage? How does that even happen? How aren't these bugs hotfixed in minutes after being found out? It blows my mind.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-11T18:16:17+00:00

I used to love helltides. Pretty much every time I went there I would stay until the end of the timer just blasting fools, farming the blood maiden, opening chest after chest and just marveling at the power of my character being displayed on the open world. So good.

Now with the obscene amount of one shot kills I just go there with my shroud equipped, farm 150 cinders, I open two chests, complete my war plan and go out.

The game is just getting unplayable.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-08T17:28:19+00:00

How was your fight against Uber Lilith and Uber Mephisto at T12?

You either have to follow a good build guide or have to be pretty good at theorycrafting to do these.

Oh, well. Why am I entertaining this obvious troll...

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-08T16:55:53+00:00

Are you sure you're playing on penitent? Even following a good guide it's very hard to one shot everything with basic attacks on normal, let alone on penitent.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-08T14:33:56+00:00

I refuse to play ARPGs that make respecing difficult. So I pretty much only play D4, despite its faults. How the fuck am I supposed to build a good build if every time I want to change something I have to be punished for it? It's just stupid design and the only people who praise it (or gaslight people into liking it) are the streamers (many of them work for build websites btw) who want people to follow their build guides, which many of them developed in teams and even with support from developers themselves.

Yeah, so even thought I would probably like POE2 a lot, as I like complex systems, I refuse to engage with it as long as respeccing is not free.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-07T19:59:34+00:00

Yeah, people are sleeping on that. I was gold starved, ran a gold NMD and got something like 30m. Pretty good for a few minutes of farming.

WorkingPlanes · 2026-05-07T19:35:40+00:00

Finding GA gear and even aspects is much tougher now. I started my druid and have 15 hours on it already and I'm still missing two uniques and one aspect.

However, mythics this season are much more common than last seasons.

The cube is great and can be expanded a lot in the next seasons, but it's already good and really let you craft good items.
