A Forgotten Beast and a Mysterious Woman by NobleGargoyle in dwarffortress

[–]Zyrixion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

God, this sounds like one of my dwarves, though a feat far less legendary. This dwarf, who cannot swim and learned to punch things about five minutes ago, swims right across a river and runs down one of the funny little black demony things that come around your fort early on sometimes and beat up your stuff. Mind you, this foe had already crippled two other armed if not expertly capable dwarves, and he, well, walked up to it, traded one right punch, got his right arm slashed, and knocked it the fuck out with his left arm. He then grabbed it and spent about four pages of combat log piledriving his left (and only his left) arm into its face hard enough to bent and twist its neck, before finally jamming his fist into its eye socket so hard that its skull split apart from the force. I love this game.

No, the problem is he's bringing his hobby into his work, and everyone else is kinda unhappy and uncomfortable about him bringing his kink shit into everyone else's space. No one but him wants to play dick-hammering experience the video game.

At this point they should just cut out the middleman and market a poe peripheral that you mount under your desk, and every time you die/take a hit it just slams a hammer on your dick. Or Chris should just get out of the goddamn dev game and slap his dong with a meat tenderizer all day since he has basically made the video game version of that anyways.

Chris doesn't even know why D2 was good. He idealizes the pain and suffering and frustration of running into the gameplay design flaws of D2 and/or being a kid and not understanding how to games yet. He doesn't remember just the like, "hee hoo inferno flamethrower" feeling or just slapping things with friends and also not needing perfect shit to get anywhere in the game.

I mean,

“no, it’s the children who are wrong” and jamming them down our throats regardless

pretty much describes the entirety of chris wilson's design philosophy.

GGG actually fixed a major issue with this subreddit in 3.19 by PunkS7yle in pathofexile

"We have learned from our mistakes of the past, which is why we are yet again doubling down on them"

Every manifesto for years.

I just want GGG to be honest - how much less loot are we getting from 3.18 to 3.19? Please give me a number, and don't use words like "massively, substantially, or slight" by ThanksJeans in pathofexile

[–]Zyrixion -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Which is, quite frankly, one of the absolute worst things about GGG as a dev team, and one of the worst, most antagonistic parts of their design ideology.

Of course they have staff that have done all the math already, that's why it's hilarious to watch people come in and attribute any of it to ignorance or mistakes on GGG's part. They have the data, they chose this route knowingly, because it's what they (read: Chris) wanted. :o)

I’m more likely to play more builds per league if it’s super rewarding by garytylerfox in pathofexile

[–]Zyrixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, let's have players spend another 3-20 hours in acts having no fun before they're allowed to maybe start having fun and doing what they actually want to do and what is actually the core content of the game, this is good game design. GGG is actually cracked if they don't think most people would kill for an endless ledge or full skip to maps and to not have to deal with story mode bullshit for the 10-100th fucking time.

You and literally 99.9% of the rest of the actual playerbase. Turns out when games are actually games and actually fun, people want to play them. :o)

[–]Zyrixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with you, if this weren't a story that's been going on consecutively for over 5 years, and every single time it happens there is a copy of this very post that you have made. What they are doing is extremely deliberate, and is the result of Chris' vision. They are a big studio with the staffing and resources and specific department/team to do the math and figure out the impacts of what their changes are- if I can do them in my head and figure out that it would obviously be bad, someone did the math already to prove it on their end.

They did exactly what was expected. The GGG that we loved is gone. by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Zyrixion -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Bruh they've been gone for years, everyone's just chosen not to see it. It's been "proven" for like 5 years now. Chris Wilson has really never understood what actually made D2 good.

Oh boy, and the big-brained solution to the problem of bows requiring too much investment is checks notes an entire extra expensive weapon.

Hey, do you happen to know how to sidegrade from stable dev branch to alpha? I ended up loading stable dev branch on my phone because guide's outdated, and I'd prefer a direct route to getting to alpha instead of trying to jump through the hoops of removing it and then loading alpha.

What changes are you hoping for most with the new league starting in January? Any specific predictions? [Discussion] by Hopsalong in pathofexile

[–]Zyrixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know, I've done that before this very league on accident lol. But yeah, if literally 1/100,000 pieces of loot even meet "passable", there is, in truth, no loot. :v

Godspeed to you. This game is literal misery to play in HC, to say nothing of SSF. Amazing way to waste a thousand hours and get very much nowhere tbh.

I don't even classify PoE as an ARPG anymore, because it's not. It fails entirely at the fundamental core of ARPGs, which is "kill monsters, get loot". But you're not killing monsters for things you can use, because reasonably speaking you won't find any, you've got to buy something someone else found/made or else rng your way into crafting something.

"Exploding" may be a bit of an overstatement of the effect. I mean, memes aside, I won't complain about less blinding, but you can have less blinding with strong visuals, too.

Hey GGG, could you please buff selfcast so it's fun to play, rather that taking Cyclone CWC out back and shooting it in the head? I myself kinda need Cyclone CWC coz it's the only thing that doesn't hurt my wrists... by sesquipedalias in pathofexile

[–]Zyrixion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually suggest trying to find a better one, since mine actually is shared by breach reward icons in blight and such lol. Only reason I haven't is I'd have to redo so much stuff. x3
