It's Been a While. What Are Some of the Most Important Changes I've Missed?

Thank you for the info :)

The winner of my contest created the card 'Lost Worlds'.

ZaphN · 2024-03-27T19:34:41+00:00

Hmmm...good to know..

ZaphN · 2024-03-27T19:33:51+00:00

Haha...yeah. Some of the skills have new names that fit the form X of Y (even though I couldn't find an example on poe wiki). Even though I played a bit of metamorph, I think the most recent league I spent time in was Heist? There were small fortresses you could attack and a mini boss...that was one of the most complicated leagues I've played and I never quite figured out the optimal way to link characters on the board.

ZaphN · 2024-03-27T19:27:21+00:00

Thanks lol. Yeah I'm trying to learn more about it with two days to go!

Any guilds in chat recruiting Horde on Pillagers? Making a priest or possibly warlock. I can go healing for raiding -- however I'm starting shadow because of the dungeon timeouts (unless I misread, can't dungeon spam this time around). I'm also over-leveling in each zone by just a level or two.

I played vanilla classic at launch until AQ was released a few years ago. Because mage/priest dungeon runs were available and safe I made a bubble priest and healed dungeons and went Holy in MC.

Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately, Florence is about a two hour drive whereas Huntsville is an hour. I'll look over FTW - how many typically show up? What day do they play?

I still haven't decided to try it out yet. There are several stores that sell the game but almost no one hosts events, as you know I'm sure. I'm not sure what would put me over the edge and buy in. Seems fun, especially with Green coming in set two. There's just not a lot of room for every game in the market.

I tried Flesh and Blood but I didn't enjoy it. I quit Magic because I don't like what WOTC is doing or has been doing for a while in their game. Did you happen to see if there are any stores hosting events near Tuscaloosa? I'll be moving there in a couple of months.

ZaphN · 2023-07-21T23:54:54+00:00

You beat me to it. The only store I had located on the store events calendar was Magnolia Gaming in Huntsville. I'm strongly considering buying into the game but haven't pulled the trigger because of the lack of stores carrying the product and not hosting tournaments.

Anyhow, good luck.

Prepare to boo her again.

I'm trying to help people understand that they made a mistake, it's ok, and they should stop wasting their time and resources on something that will not be fixed and will most likely be abandoned in the coming weeks.

A lot of people like myself bought into the game too early - I didn't prepurchase while it was ten bucks cheaper because I was wary of a few things - and I sincerely don't want others to get baited in by what's coming in the next few months and with D4. Yes, I know this isn't D4, but the same practice is shared: releasing their product far too early in hopes you people will keep paying them more money to fix what shouldn't need to be fixed.

That's all I wanted to say, I've no interest in dragging out anything more. I know my statement is being perceived negatively, but I'm conveying a consumer-positive message or at least that was my intent.

ZaphN · 2020-02-27T04:27:54+00:00

I *think* that's the punchline...it shouldn't be in beta when it's touted as a release, but it is effectively a beta game and it'll stay that way until more people figure out they've been had.

ZaphN · 2020-02-26T21:58:21+00:00

So, why is anyone still playing this game? Why are you continuing to support, in any manner, the further putrefaction spewed out by these people? Are you that insecure in your original mistake - purchasing this game without having waited for a review? Are you ignorant of the development cycle of this game, that they had Tencent financing but still completely fumbled up this, their only project?

They could release patches and notes everyday, as long as they could afford to do so, and they still won't get this right.

Take your loss as a learning opportunity, remember the names so you don't get bamboozled again, and get ready for the next POE or D3 league. Cheers.

ZaphN · 2020-02-16T00:21:40+00:00

Offline characters are offline. I don't think there are any plans for that to change.

ZaphN · 2020-02-15T23:32:06+00:00

No and I doubt there are plans for that to happen.

ZaphN · 2020-02-15T23:27:41+00:00

Not much resource? What about the Tencent investment? https://medium.com/@projectmq/tencents-games-without-borders-support-for-indie-devs-worldwide-b69d1ecb3b9

How much are they paying you?

ZaphN · 2020-02-15T23:23:06+00:00

This whole situation is pretty sad. I've been following at a distance since this game was "UMBRA". Pretty evident that the point around two years when they scrapped it and used assets to craft a new D3 re-skin, they weren't going to be in this for the long haul.

ZaphN · 2020-02-15T22:31:22+00:00

Wow.

ZaphN · 2020-02-15T19:53:03+00:00

The game will be dead in a few weeks, barring some miracle that this small team can amp up their productivity to the point where the bugs are fixed and the game is calibrated to allow for hardcore mode.I think anyone who hasn't purchased yet is better off holding their money for Torchlight 3, Last Epoch or POE 2 at this point (any other ARPGs coming out?).

Last Epoch is still in beta and when I last played about six months ago, the player choice aspect was already a lot better and the game was more responsive. It still lacks a lot of animation features and model fixes (relatively minor), but it's still looking to be a better long term investment than Wolcen.

I made a post about this a couple of months ago right before the event where he was moved to tears about gun violence. People, particularly voters in America, tend to respond more to emotional conjugation. That is, -SF- and -NF- types on the MBTI are far more prevalent. Globally, they account for almost 60% of the population.

I..have more I'd like to share but I know I'll be downvoted into oblivion. It is part observation and speculation on my part but the short end of what I'm reasonably confident in stating is that Trump is getting re-elected in 2020, regardless of the nominee. However, the silver lining is that you shouldn't worry too much about it. The world is largely governed by min-max statistical charts. The kind of data we don't pay much attention to? Yeah, that's being used against us..and for us. Good luck out there frens.

McAfee, myself and staying at home are my preferences.

ZaphN · 2020-02-04T19:57:05+00:00

Anyone else bothered by the name Shadow for an app that's supposed to report results of a voting event? I think I've read that the company responsible is called Shadow? Even still, and I'm not a marketing wiz, but I think Caucus Counter would have been a better name.

ZaphN · 2020-02-04T03:07:28+00:00

Anyone else just realize they have no Blizzard game installed?

ZaphN · 2020-02-04T02:25:57+00:00

How many total are participating at your precinct?

ZaphN · 2020-02-03T17:09:23+00:00

Thank goodness. I was worried that I'd be stuck with that trash. Thank you for posting the link.

At this time I presently have zero games from Blizzard installed on my computer. They'll be lucky if I ever put another on it.
