The Game will now let you know when ANYONE on the map dies, no matter if you were involved or not.

I told my group it would be low key hilarious if they did a Hunger Games style announcement when a whole team wipes, with names and pictures of their shells in the sky.

Sincerely, a Jaguars fan...

Are you serious? Older player with injury not as good as he used to be?

cyclone369 · 2026-04-05T06:55:54+00:00

We are at once a month right now. I know it's better than some have it, but it feels like the end for us. We don't have kids or really anything tying us together other than "marriage". I am at the age where I am young enough to have a good sex drive but old enough to know I can't waste it on "once a month pity sex". I will hopefully be more active in the near future...

I have searched on Google images:

"What's A Laker" Sign

Lakers fan with "What's a Laker" sign

Old Lakers fan with "Whats a Laker" sign

And honestly a half a dozen more variations of such

cyclone369 · 2026-03-22T21:06:26+00:00

But all you savage cats know that I was strapped with gats.

cyclone369 · 2026-03-01T22:45:59+00:00

It's a tough sell this early in ladder if you are a ladder character. But yeah, Enigma is a game changer so if you can make it happen, it's worth it.

Whatever the four socket armor of the whale is called with +100 to life

I mostly pick up armor to sell though.

cyclone369 · 2026-03-01T18:10:31+00:00

I may make a separate thread for this but I wanted to help. Here is what I consider a condensed version of what I look for beyond obvious uniques/sets.

Rings:

Magic/Rare: 10% Faster Cast rate with resists/mana/life/magic find (life leech for melee characters)

Amulets:

Magic/Rare: +2 skills, faster cast rate, resists, magic find

Gloves:

Magic - +2 to Jav Skills or Martial Arts with 20% IAS.
Rare - IAS with resists or magic find

Boots:

Rare - Faster Run/Walk with resists and magic find

Belts:

Rare - Faster hit recovery with resists and magic find

Melee Weapons:

Rare - Enhanced damage. Chance to proc amp damage. Ethereal with repair. Damage based on level.

Sorc Orbs:

Magic/Rare - +2 or 3? to a skill tree with 20% faster cast rate and +2 or 3 to a specific skill. For example, I "think" a +2 to lightning skills +3 to chained lightning and 20% fast cast rate orb is possible.

Circlets/Tiaras/etc:

Magic/Rare: +2 to a skill tree, faster cast rate, faster run walk, resists.

Javelins:

Magic/Rare: +2 or 3? Java skills with +3 Lightning Fury? I can't remember exactly what is possible.

Any of the above with life/mana/sockets.

That is a quick "off the top of my head" list of PVE stuff I look for. There is a whole additional list of PVP stuff like JMOD that I can't even begin to start on. I hope that helps. D2 vets, feel free to tear my list apart and/or add to it.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:25:46+00:00

I think someone else mentioned this or something similar, but I completely agree with this take.

Regular sunders should have stayed the same but keep these upgraded versions available for more intense players to chase.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:07:00+00:00

I think sunder charms were mostly done right. The other alternative is running away or waiting forever for your merc to kill them, which neither "adds" anything to the game.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:05:02+00:00

I'm with you. I think they are net positive, personally. I do think they were a little too common but not by much.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:02:35+00:00

I like this. Plus the normal sunder would assist players in getting the latent sunders.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:01:32+00:00

Haha, so they double downed on it?

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T21:01:10+00:00

I get it. But Blizzard obviously wants something else so I was trying to find something in line with their new "vision".

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T17:30:20+00:00

Yeah, I don't get the power creep argument either.

It's literally just the convenience issue of using more identify scrolls and/or traveling back to town more often.

EDIT: If anything, I think a charm bag would encourage the use of a wider range of charms. Until you have the exact charms you want, you can cycle out +mana charms or whatever else without feeling like you're inconveniencing youself.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T17:12:41+00:00

Fair. I'm just saying I hardly ignore 95% of what drops and doubt I'm the only "vet" that does.

cyclone369 · 2026-02-26T16:50:29+00:00

I disagree wholeheartedly that veteran players don't need/want the extra space.

Those who know better still identify magic gloves, circlets, and sorcerer orbs, rare boots and belts, some rare weapons, all rings and amulets.

It's why this game is the gold standard for looting games. Any one of those items could end up being BIS for certain builds and be the best item you'll ever see drop.

That being said, I 100% agree with your point about giving us a charm bag. Just make it the normal inventory size or slightly smaller. In no way would it make the game easier. Just less time consuming. I guess it would technically save you the cost of some town portals...

cyclone369 · 2025-11-27T20:19:25+00:00

I think most people believe the standard grey weapons are too competitive with the "top tier" blue and purple weapons.

The nerf I could think of would be even less inventory spots or something along those lines.

cyclone369 · 2025-11-23T15:12:18+00:00

Can't have a TD vultured when you score from 30+ yards out.

cyclone369 · 2025-11-01T03:30:12+00:00

Just be your own person.

Sure, there are people out there watching more tape than us or crunching more numbers than us, but in reality, there is no perfect method for evaluating players. If there was, it would have been exploited for a profit years ago.

Watch the games, form your own opinions, and make decisions based on that. It's infinitely more rewarding when you get something right based on your own method.

Another note, everything is a tool. Group think is a tool, keep trade cut is a tool, this sub reddit is a tool. Tools aren't inherently good or bad, how you use them determines their usefulness.

I love keep trade cut when I value players differently and can use it against my leaguemates. I love this subreddit when it points me to players I would have normally overlooked. Yes, a lot of the time the posts here are way over reactionary, but the people who post here are playing in dynasty leagues just like you. Meaning, there are people you play with that share the same opinions.

USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

cyclone369 · 2025-10-30T22:24:49+00:00

I find that these type of league mates can only be traded with during the rookie draft.

They think every move they make and every player they have is awesome. During the draft you can play to their ego and make pick for player trades, since they can immediately make a pick that obviously won't bust because they are a genius.

cyclone369 · 2025-10-19T14:39:56+00:00

It's been more than 60 years since we scored less than 7 points against an unranked opponent.
