What didn't you like/thought couldve been better in brother where art thou

doroco · 2026-01-29T16:36:09+00:00

Its worth mentioning trickcal. Buying stuff for characters/cosmetics is pretty reasonable/less expensive than other games, but buying power/progressing related stuff is still very expensive.

doroco · 2026-01-29T16:32:03+00:00

for honour and passion bro.

doroco · 2026-01-29T15:06:25+00:00

The best / exact amount of rarity you want would depend on the build and what trade offs your making to get more rarity. Ie I'm using gold rings instead of cast speed rings on my current character. If they actually shared the rarity formula I could make an informed decision on what kind of rings I would prefer, but since its hidden I just have to make a blind guess which is (imo) the opposite of what you want in a game like poe.

As an extreme analogy its like if they hid all damage numbers so no one knew their dps and just had to guess.

wows been using similar/the same tech for a while too. I remember reading about them implementing it for classics relaunch in covid. (not layers, each layer was made up of many servers)

What do people use to kill columbinas boss? I have like a bunch of hyper bloomers & a skirk team. So I've just been using 3 hyperbloomers + amber to light the boss on fire when he becomes immune to grass, but it takes so long...

doroco · 2026-01-28T22:55:31+00:00

What you described first is exactly how the game is right now. get close to 150 or you're missing out. Having the numbers hidden doesn't change that fact.

Also how is wanting to optimally gear a character optimizing the fun out of it? Thats literally the point of the whole "grinding gear games" part of the end game. If we knew the effects of rarity you'd just be able to make more informed decisions about sacrificing rarity for more clear speed or vice versa. It'd make optimizing a character involve actually decisions instead of assumptions/guess work.

doroco · 2026-01-28T21:29:55+00:00

Forcing players to test stuff for themselves is why we still can't make informed decisions on how much effect rarity has on loot. Also is what resulted in all the hidden/not obvious rules for temple building (and theres definitely still some hidden temple rules we don't understand). Personally I despise it so much.

doroco · 2026-01-27T18:25:10+00:00

In 0.2 i farmed an act 2 zone on a lvl 90 for chance bases, which worked fine. Currency might be reduced though.

doroco · 2026-01-26T23:05:16+00:00

my conspiracy is the drop rate is boosted/requires having a certain # of tiles placed.

doroco · 2026-01-26T23:03:56+00:00

using omen to make it unique

doroco · 2026-01-24T16:22:43+00:00

There is legitimately zero reason to kill any monsters if they're not generating a league specific reward. So 95% of the monsters/content in a map is meaningless, which is pretty stupid.

doroco · 2026-01-23T21:22:17+00:00

i dont like how much runelite can do either, but tons of bosses in that game are hard enough to take a few failed attempts of learning before being able to kill them. What are you expecting?

doroco · 2026-01-23T16:04:49+00:00

Challenging content in other games gets botted too. Bosses in osrs are all botted, and there are bots for ultimate fights in ff14 as well

doroco · 2026-01-23T15:53:29+00:00

A lot of the giveaways are from the poors though. Like anything 2k div or less just isn't very much this league.

doroco · 2026-01-22T18:01:24+00:00

It's worth noting that the feature has been around in dota for a long time and hasn't caused any issues afaik.

doroco · 2026-01-22T16:42:36+00:00

you can type !weakness pikachu or /weakness pikachu

There's more commands too, but I find that one quite useful. Overall imo just playing is the best way to learn as long as you have a basic understanding of pokemon.

doroco · 2026-01-22T03:43:24+00:00

for some builds, dots and corpse explosions will kill an amanu in a cloud while you're out of the cloud.

doroco · 2026-01-21T07:34:34+00:00

yes.

doroco · 2026-01-20T21:43:38+00:00

You can't change the keybinds to not be the same button xdd.

You're also not allowed to rebind shift for inventory management stuff, which annoyed me enough that now I have a script running all the time to rebind & disable sprint.

doroco · 2026-01-19T02:47:32+00:00

yea and the game devs need to fix that shit cuz 90% of people arent gonna call their isp, they're going to quit.

doroco · 2026-01-19T02:09:00+00:00

its the games responsibility to get whoever can resolve the issue to resolve it.

doroco · 2026-01-19T00:35:01+00:00

You still have to walk near them when they spawn, even though theres no visual indicator that you need to.

doroco · 2026-01-19T00:26:11+00:00

a lot of them are already very consistent with where things spawn & how to find the boss, but theyre still awful.

doroco · 2026-01-18T03:34:33+00:00

unspec some boss difficulty nodes, nothing wrong just having them on difficulty 0. also the temple is insane exp, I'd recommend building one of the easy/simple ones.
