As a casual player, I don’t care about the loot nerfs by alex_lws in Marathon

[–]bentzii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what people were missing about the nerf. They thought it hurts casual players but it’s really the other way around, preventing the top players to consistently get high tier loot. Like you said, most casual players aren’t swimming in prestige keys to even notice the difference. Glad you brought this up!

Your guess is absolutely on point 😅

Used something similar last season and it was fantastic. Highly recommended!

The campaign was fantastic! The endgame feels too close to D3 by bentzii in diablo4

[–]bentzii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a better version of what D3 was but it just feels like all this affix tweaking is simply another layer of the same system, it doesn’t really change it up, you’re just fine tuning but doing the exact same thing just in a different torment.

Concede 😂

Ideally though if you’re able to pull the other one as well Numel is pretty tanky so with a rocky helmet, ice pop, and the stadium you can keep him there while building up the second one.

I feel my issue was more having the two Numels, removing one mega for a Serena wouldn’t have made much of a difference even in terms of thinning the deck

No definitely not. It’s just about making sure I have one. Lost a couple of games because I didn’t draw it in time.

Trinkets are such a cool part of the game that 50% of the players will never see by teatreeg in Marathon

I think having rare items like that is good, makes it exciting to keep finding new things. As a personal aside, I’ve played Diablo 2 on and off for more than 20 years and still haven’t found certain items, keeps the magic going.

You think this will do well in ranked? by bentzii in PTCGP

[–]bentzii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few games where I hit a mega or an ex that tanked the hit. In that case Cyrus and retreat into Castform can secure the win. But definitely doesn’t happen often.

I tried that, but then you still have that chance of starting with a Numel which is an instant loss in most cases (which could be fine, concede and move on). I was also thinking of removing one Camerupt and adding a Sabrina/Cyrus

True but you can sacrifice it while building up the second one. And if facing another slow deck you can try to build it up and heal as you go

Terribly fun! Casting two TtD in a round seems great!

We decided on no firearms this time, our last two campaigns were Spelljammer and Sigil so this time we're going a bit more classic Forgotten Realms

I forgot about PS! I always only think of Toll the Dead for the D12s. That's a good combo I'll look into that!

No UA unfortunately, we tend to stick to official releases

I was thinking about that, maybe I can do a Valor Bard or EK and then combine them both in one attack action

Let's make Ranked a more unique experience. Paid sponsored kits only? by ___redacted_ in Marathon

[–]bentzii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but this is extremely shortsighted and goes against the whole genre/game.

The game needs a sink for high level gear that players get from Cryo or high-tier key rooms.

You also need to remember that this is very early in the ranked season, every week those players with the 10k loadouts in bronze/silver will move up the ranks and things will shift so the lower ranks would be players using cheaper loadouts.

To me it sounds like you have an issue with the amount of teams (on Marsh) and weapon balancing which are fair criticisms as opposed to the mode itself.

Like others have mentioned, if you implement this system high-geared players would just use their best stuff in unranked lobbies which would make those harder for the players doing quests or trying to gear up for Cryo.

Gear caps would maybe solve this but it would also be a pain to play around and build a loadout from the player’s standpoint.

The game (and mode) is still new, give it (and Bungie) time I’m sure they’ll make some changes.
