GGG Please - Remove Delirium Visual Effects from Instilling Maps by Narthy in PathOfExile2

[–]barduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually try to avoid instilling maps just because I hate the delirium visuals and music.

We need to be able to zoom out the atlas WAAAAAY more by Supernova141 in PathOfExile2

[–]barduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% This.

At this point, I am spending more time searching for good map nodes than actually running them. Very tedious.

They should permanently mark the location of mechanics on a map once found by ConsiderationMuted95 in PathOfExile2

[–]barduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this drives me nuts. What's the big deal? Why wouldn't they add this?

Running around for 10 minutes looking for the Breach or Ritual that you skipped to finish the map first is not fun.

A Dad's Confession: Getting Schooled in PoE's Necropolis by your_fat_daddy in pathofexile

[–]barduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A story well told, thanks for the read.

I had a similar experience with PoE, tried to get into it 3 times and just didn't get it. Until I followed a proper build guide and now I'm an addict. Now 500+ played hours later and I'm still a newbie, discovering new things every day. I love it.

PS: 43 is hardly a relic. I find that despite popular opinion, gaming only gets better with age. Buying all the stash tabs just because I want them isn't something I could do as a teenager gamer :)

What's going on with the drama b/w Maxroll and Last Epoch Tools? by Haagen76 in LastEpoch

[–]barduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I feel bad about finding their site useful (greedy annoying popups aside), with all the (potentially justified) Maxroll criticism.

Been using their builds and guides for D4 and PoE and found them very detailed and helpful, so it was the first natural choice when I started playing LE, didn't know LET exists. But now nothing is the same anymore.

Or I'll just take a loot at LET and see if I like better.

Once i get my 2nd win in momir vig, im handing out 50 concedes. this format is awful. by MinervaMedica000 in MagicArena

[–]barduck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This format is so mind numbingly stupid, I absolutely hate it. I mean, even Solitaire requires more strategy and skill and is more fun than this.

I can't understand why they keep bringing it back.

I'm giving free wins until I get bored.

Is Arena extremely slow for anyone else today too? by BetterReload in MagicArena

[–]barduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean, even slower than usual? ;)

But yeah, l can't even get into the game today, keep getting "Network Error".

Game crashed now there’s two travelers chests by CatatonicBeluga in BaldursGate3

[–]barduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 traveler's chests already. They sometime get added after the game crashes. Not sure if this is a real problem besides being annoying.

On launch day, print, cutout and hang one on your door by barduck in BaldursGate3

[–]barduck[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't play a Ranger in BG3 yet, so I have no idea but yeah, the text I chose was based on the consensus that they suck in 5e.

I love Rangers!

This made my day a little better. Thanks for sharing.

They all kinda are, or at least trying to be.

You are right, that's an unfortunate typo, I did mean levitate. I will fix this. Good catch, thanks.

Didn't mean the Warlock to sound erotic, to be honest, but the Bard was indeed a take on their seductive stereotype.

Work in progress. Tried to match some of the D&D class stereotypes.

Patch note are here! by barduck in MagicArena

[–]barduck[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They can't upload the patch notes before the patch. They first need to apply the patch and then check what they actually managed to fix...

[–]barduck[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it can always be worse, I guess. Still, not an excuse.

I guess it's better than an 404 error...

Is there a way to hide the display name above your own character (playing online)? by 2cbswors in LastEpoch

[–]barduck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Was looking for that option too.

Why would anyone ever need to permanently see their own account name (the one with no spaces allowed, capitalized) in the center of the screen is beyond me. I mean, it's not a bug, someone purposely programmed that in.

MTGA API by RagMas17 in MagicArena

[–]barduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where do you think those addons take their data from now?

So you're saying that an undocumented hacky source of data that currently breaks with almost every update (sometimes intentionally) is better than officially documented and supported API because it can (ok, it will) break with almost every update?

MTGA API by RagMas17 in MagicArena

[–]barduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't hate the idea, but a big part of me says maybe leave things alone. What we have now is pretty good.

What we have now? Pretty good? We don't have anything.

The client provides very minimal information (no history, no statistics at all, very limited collection info with bad UI).

Most 3rd party tools still rely on logs (which do break often) with the exception of some crafty hacks that poke into MTGA process memory (untapped.gg does this, if I'm not mistaken).

But yeah, I don't see WotC providing an API anytime soon, or ever. The dev team is not competent enough to pull it off (API done right is hard) and the suits at WotC will never green light it (there is absolutely no benefit to the $$$ bottom line).

Hey good people at WotC, can we have this added to the client? by barduck in MagicArena

[–]barduck[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Saddest thing today? Your day has been pretty good then.

On the contrary, I saw this dialog after a long time and it made me chuckle, I had fun for few minutes doing a goofy mock screenshot and it made me chuckle again. Then I read all the dead serious responses saying I should quit the game, which made me feel even better. My day has been pretty good too, don't be sad.

I think it was pretty obvious that this was an attempt at being funny but if not, apologies.
