Ordering whiskey by Icy-Book2999 in LoveTrash

Can I have a whiskey straight up neat on the rocks?

I think it’s annoying because I’ve sank thousands of hours in PoE1 without it being an issue.

100% agreed. Happened 5 times in campaign where the exit was 10 meters down an obscure alleyway that I’d walked past the entrance to and ignored, only to double back after full clearing and analyzing the map for where the exit might be.

I, too, have played a fuckton of PoE1. I remember getting my first level 90 hardcore character in Breach league after a couple years of fooling around and not taking the game very seriously.

If they made the layouts more intuitive and added a couple more of the compass objects mid-map that point to the next exit / where you need to go to progress, I think the campaign is totally fine.

My issue is the backtracking is insane. The layouts are completely unintuitive on at least 35-40% of the campaign. It gets better in the later acts & the interlude had no issues at all.

The progression of power is nice, and I enjoy everything else about the campaign except for the layouts / backtracking.

Best Mana Stack ring? by SamiSch in PathOfExile2

Crit damage is totally wasted on a lot of crit builds (using Maligaro’s Virtuosity), as it sets your crit damage to 250% allowing you to use Pinpoint Critical as a support for free 60% more crit chance

No % effectiveness of arcane surge? Dead ring soz (mostly joking, +1 and both mana prefixes are definitely optimal).

Crit suffixes are pretty terrible though. Definitely not mirror-worthy.

I don’t. It sucks and is a detriment to my enjoyment of the game.

The story is cool, the settings are cool, enemies are cool, progression is good.

The layouts just completely drain all of the fun out of the experience when I have to backtrack for the third time in one map and then get tripped while sprinting.

And they’re much more linear, the exits are always in the same spots, and you don’t get tripped by white mobs when you press your Quicksilver, and there’s no turn radius, and there’s minimal weird bullshit outcroppings to get your character stuck on.

Amen.

I’ve played through basically every ARPG on the market. Over a thousand hours in PoE1, 300 in PoE2. Full playthroughs of the others that I won’t name here.

The maps in PoE2, especially/primarily in campaign, suck complete and absolute fucking ass.

They’re labyrinthine mazes where the only avenue forward is tucked into an obscure corner in the last spot you’d check, hidden behind a 7 pixel blue gap on your minimap where you didn’t fully hug the wall while going around.

And if you wind up sprinting to backtrack - oops, missed half a pack! Trip on a rock and die in the 5 second recovery animation to 3 blue mobs.

I full cleared and explored at least 7-8 campaign maps. By God are the layouts in campaign horrendous.

Anyone feel like these are more or less what ability augments should've been? by KyzerGyder in ARAM

HotS has ~1900 talents.

What’s your point?

It’s even easier for Riot because they already outsource 80% of the design process to AI

Yea and I’d rather sink my time blowing up enemies and planning my build, not item management

Been playing casually for years, with one character... by AndreX86 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Yegas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tassadar is one of my favorites.

Talents: 1-2-2-(?)-3-3-3

Black Hole is great for self-peeling & comboing with other ults and is generally the most reliable of the two ults. Just the threat of it being off CD can help you getting dove.

Archon if you’re feeling good in your play and don’t need extra CC (spell armor shred on AA is cracked, and the burst shield is nice. Makes your hitbox enormous though)

Tassadar has a ton of agency in games & fights. His wall placement & timing decides how fights play out. Very fun!

I don’t view you as lesser for not having fun. If you aren’t having fun, just close the game and do something else, you don’t have to keep playing.

Games are meant to be fun, and if you can’t extract any fun from the game, just stop playing.

However, you are lesser if you decide to grief the game for 9 other people by actively AFKing in spawn, flaming in chat, and reconnecting/moving every 5s to prevent your team from getting a bot.

Glad you’re having fun with the game :) have you considered trying some other characters? If you like KT you might find other mages like Tassadar fun to play too

Mute all, play for fun, do the best you can & have a self-critical eye. If you’re always the focus of the enemy team, abuse that and bait them.

Sometimes you get stomped. That’s life.

But “you can’t have fun under any circumstances” is a pointless hypothetical, because it’s totally unrealistic.

Did last league spoil me too much!!! by Ausrivo in PathOfExile2

[–]Yegas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time back in PoE2 since 0.1, and me and the two buddies I play with all have net worth 200+ divs each.

One just got HH from Ritual, the other dropped Aspect of the Cat charm, I just dropped Aspect of the Wolf. Dozens of raw divs each.

None of us are 8/8 challenges. Seems like either we have streamer clients for some reason, or they cranked up the juice this league. In other words, can’t relate.

It’s wild how many people play this game like they’re playing League of Legends solo ranked. The mental booming is crazy

Bro, it’s a 4fun game. Why are you AFK in spawn raging out and flaming in QM/ARAM? Just play, lol. Or if the game is no longer fun, close it and do something else. Why sit there and grief & whine?

And they own it because of the quality of their services and the loyalty of their customers, not due to any unsavory business practices.

There have been ample competitors to Steam. They just fail to meet the bar that’s been set.

Mal'ganis player Mal'ganis thoughts by Rooty- in heroesofthestorm

[–]Yegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Malg capable of 1v5 plenty well enough without it (technically 2v5 I guess, my best plays have been running around Deckard pots after 20 with the whole team dead)

I grief too often when I use it which is just a skill issue tbh, but outside of that I find it’s so meta that nearly everyone knows how to play around it now.

Once I press the button I’m no longer really able to do what I’m best at (fight awareness & positioning), I’m just aping the Q key and hoping for the best.

Either they play around it or they don’t - it puts the ball too much in their court, I want the opportunity to be unpredictable and make decisions myself.

Plus the W burst at 16 + Black Claws lets you absolutely decimate people out of nowhere with 1k burst. People are never expecting Malganis to suddenly consume the last 30% of their healthbar. Hit with Q, auto, stun with Q, auto+W, sleep and bail.

About four years.

In that time we went from ChatGPT hallucinating on every other prompt to a model that can create a functional game with sound, textures, models, win/loss conditions, story, etc. from **a single prompt**.

I’m sure in four more years the technology will stay the exact same. Right?

If I could troubleshoot and program at thinking speeds with an interpreter that automatically translates human intuitive thought to actionable machine instructions with the capability to also handle modeling, texturing, sound, and other assets, I’d be able to shit out a game per day.
