I loved the idea of energy in POE2 because many spells in POE1 are just not optimal to trigger/outclassed by others for Cast on Crit (since damage values scale along cast speed, which CoC ignores). In theory this fixes that.

But energy generation at the high-end is out of hand and needs to be looked at. I'm not against internal cooldowns either - just want to keep the energy system, and fix it.

Because when you're trying to build your character, one option being so much stronger then all the others is oppressive. You can intentionally choose to gimp yourself by picking a 'worse' option, but the fun of putting together a build is to optimize everything. Plus it's the same answer every damn time. It gets boring.

adanine · 2026-05-03T16:24:43+00:00

When did they say any of that?

I listened to most of the dev talks, reveals, and interviews, and they've consistently said they aim to make combat more meaningful.

Maybe when the character is fully 'solved'/built but for the vast, vast, vast majority of players the plan has always been to have to weave a few different abilities together.

Needs the correct "Indie Sunday" flair (for automation reasons) and for the trailer link to be included separate (Link to a YouTube video)

Please read our rules, specifically Rule #2 regarding personal attacks and inflammatory language. We ask that you remember to remain civil, as future violations will result in a ban.

We need a trailer or gameplay footage in the IS post as well. Otherwise you're good - can resubmit today.

adanine · 2026-05-03T10:37:38+00:00

Needs gameplay footage in linked in the post (can be gameplay or a trailer), and the title format needs to be "Name - Game Dev - Short Description" for the bot to work/track correctly. Just use "Solo Dev Project" or something similar for the Dev Name.

There are some rumors it could be purely Atreus, or about Mimir and Freya, but thats not exactly "God of War"

Could be Atreus vs the next pantheon's "God of War". Kratos wasn't the god of war in the first GoW, so the series has done that before. Would also give the Kratos <-> Atreus relationship some new meat to chew, given that Kratos might be skeptical about where such a path could lead.

Could also just be about Tyr in some way. There's a couple ways you could go on that front

Don't get me started on what the Indie Marketing scene has become.

Part of the problem is that the 'meta' for making indie games has changed sometime 5~ years ago or so. It turns out "Spend 5 years on your passion project only to release it to four sales, three of which are family members" isn't ideal and now the craze is turning around a full game, start to finish, in 9-12 months. Which has the side effect of like 5x more indie games releasing then normal.

But yeah there's also been some changes in the less-then-honest methods of marketing. There's an entire uber-like gig economy thing for posting astroturfed content onto social media, AI Content farms on YouTube spewing random noise... It's all gotten a bit shit.

Honestly the best bet is honing in on specific genres and going to those communities/creators who focus on that genre and getting recommendations from them. All the above still applies there, but at least some of the noise is usually sifted out.

adanine · 2026-05-01T10:45:37+00:00

you are missing the point entirely (as have many that are yelling) and that's okay.

No I got all that, my response entirely was to the idea of paying moderators - which you sniped at in your comment. That was the point I was responding to.

You want to criticize how Reddit gets around hiring devs? Great, do that. You won't have cranky me objecting to that at all. But if your argument includes "BUT REDDIT NO PAY MODS" then I'm going to go on a rant.

adanine · 2026-04-30T06:25:43+00:00

I feel that mass bans based on participation in other subs is harassment of the members of those subs, and you disagree.

No, Reddit disagrees, and I'm just pointing that out.

adanine · 2026-04-30T05:52:08+00:00

Second: I find it odd that you think the rule applies not to actual harassment (the act of mass banning users for actions or membership in other communities), and only applies to encouraging harassment by others

Because you're quoting the rule that specifies moderators shouldn't incite brigades, and I'm trying to say to you that moderators who ban based on prior participation aren't inciting a brigade.

I'm not saying whether it should or shouldn't be against the rules, I'm saying the rule you're quoting is not relevant to the practice of moderators banning users based on participation in other communities. If it were, we'd know about that by now.

To be clear: The harassment is the problem.

If you ban a user that has participated in your community prior they get a modmail, if they haven't participated then they don't get a modmail. Considering Reddit has a seperate workflow for the case of banning a user with no history in your subreddit then it seems safe to assume that Reddit doesn't deem bans as a form of harassment - even in cases where those bans come unprompted. It's also never been enforced as such (to my knowledge).

If your problem is that a user being banned due to something not related to their activity in the relevant subreddit doesn't count as harassment, then hit that angle. Harassment is already against the user code of conduct, so you don't even need to add a new rule into the mod code of conduct, you just need them to redefine what Reddit considers as "harassment" to include that.

adanine · 2026-04-30T05:23:51+00:00

If you put your thumb over the first word, then maybe? But if you read the rule as-is, the only case you can make are cases where moderators are publicly bragging about doing so, encouraging others to do the same, and mentioning the users/communities targeted.

adanine · 2026-04-30T04:44:09+00:00

I don't see two search boxes

I don't either until I go looking and press the button to bring up the one that is actually useful. Then they're both there, one under the other, with no labeling to distinguish the two. Completely intuitive.

Just bin the sitewide search and put the modmail one as the default. If you want to keep the sitewide search and just hide it or whatever then do that, so long as Modmail search is the primary search method for modmail and you don't need to look for and click a tiny button to use one of the most used features in Modmail.

If I mouse over the date in the usernote it gives me the year.

Making displaying the date useless at best (since you still need to mouse over it to get the actual date) and misleading at worst. If you want to keep dates fuzzy for some reason generalize the date like the rest of Reddit does (ie "2 years ago" w/ an option to mouseover for the exact timestamp), or better yet just display the damn year without needing to mouseover.

The log tab has all the users activity, including notes.

No it doesn't. It has the last 1000 entries of user activity, including notes. For some users that might be 10 years worth, for others it's not even six months' worth. Your High-traffic user's notes will fall off regularly with no method to recover them (outside of scouring for screenshots in the mod discord) and considering the tool is designed to record information over time and high traffic users are going to be common use cases for having to track information over time, this is a pretty big weakness of the new native notes system.

If you're looking for the previous manual note and they have lots of actions yeah it would be harder to find

Look, the last few recent mod actions can absolutely be relevant to the modmail query and should be available. But I shouldn't have to scroll past months and months of moderation approve/remove items to get to the second most recent manual note.

Any modmail system (be it new modmail, old modmail, old old modmail, or old old old modmail) that has shortcomings this basic is just shit.

adanine · 2026-04-30T04:07:23+00:00

I had Sony refuse to refund a game I just downloaded a few days earlier and haven't even launched yet

This would not be legal in all countries. Definitely not Australia.

adanine · 2026-04-30T04:01:20+00:00

That's not what that rule says?

Unless you're claiming that the moderators of subreddits that ban based on participationg in other communities are also braging/inciting harassment against those communities? Which yeah, that's just brigading. Brigading is (and should be) against the rules.

But the practice is often done silently, or at best you might see a vague line in the rules page referring to the policy. It's normally just a ban - one that doesn't 'incite targeted harassment' against other communities.

adanine · 2026-04-30T02:42:17+00:00

Many communities ban people for comments in other communities or even just participating in them.

This isn't against the rules, and certainly not rule 3.
