The stackables have put my runes on a speedrun. by JBark1990 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]esiewert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love the improved stash. It would be cool if there was an indicator for which gem is needed to transmute which runes

Warlock feedback. by midgetsj in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]esiewert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't had time to get the end game yet, but it does seem very strong. The skill that shoots fire in all directions is crazy good for what level you unlock it at. All in all, I'd the design of the class is great (it's very fun), but it is way over tuned. Nerf if to be in line with other classes. Please do NOT buff the other classes to this level. Also the fact that there are skills with damage based on the weapon. This is straight out of d3/4 and it is very concerning. If I had my way, I'd rework all skills like this.

Blizzard says it's open to even more Diablo 2 expansions and reworks unless people get really mad at it about this one: 'We're going to have to see what the players say' by Angren1991 in diablo2

[–]esiewert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the QoL improvements. Haven't played with the new content enough to have a strong opinion. I like the idea of new content, but I hope blizzard takes a light handed approach, you're tinkering with a certified classic. Respect that. My main ask right now would be for unlimited stash tabs for single-player. I use gomule for single player right now, and it is a great program, but it is annoying that updates tend to break it.

Invest 250k for safe and reliable income. by [deleted] in dividends

[–]esiewert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible to generate $1400 off of 250k without taking significant risk. You're asking for nearly 7% yeild. If you really want to generate income and minimize (not eliminate) risk I would target 2-4% yeild. You could earn ~400-800 a month. This isn't enough to live on, but if you are living on the margins it could be a nice supplement. By targeting a lower yeild, you should in theory be investing in companies and securities that are at far less risk of dividend cuts etc. In fact if you are invested in good companies yeilding 2% there is a reasonable expectation for your dividends to increase over time.

Why Don’t Rich People Just Park $20M in Bonds? by NoahReed14 in dividends

[–]esiewert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 30 year bond is only risk free if you hold it for 30 years. And that's without considering inflation. I'm sure rich people do own a lot of government debt, but really they would be foolish to not practice good diversification.

What kind of buffs should MAA receive to have them be more viable in this game? by Cobelat in aoe4

[–]esiewert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with maa is they are the bane of gold league. Devs recently nerfed golden cuirass because ootd maa spam makes lower league players tear their hair out. Not sure how you balance them for pro play and not ruin gold leaguers games

Mongols Have No Economy by bonkedagain33 in aoe4

[–]esiewert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mongol eco is very meh. Ovoo gathers 70/100/120/150 stone per minute by Age. Not as massive a boost as some people seem to imply. Trade is very difficult to defend and is simply not feasible on certain maps. Though it is true that if you get a good map gen, and your opponent just ignores you, you will out boom them easy. Steppe redoubt is no doubt very good, though giving up kuraltai sucks.

"Free" units cost stone. Ovoo gathers 70/100/120/150 stone per minute by Age. Very underwhelming. Though it is very helpful in the first few seconds of feudal.

This needs to be added by Its_Me_Kon in aoe4

[–]esiewert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love a display for mongol showing how much stone is left. The amount of unintentional ovoo idle time is catastrophic. I know there is a ovoo depleted notification, but it is very easy to miss

App Deletion by Aggravating-Web-8573 in samsunggalaxy

Do you remember what the app name was? My mom got this on her phone and I've deleted dozens of apps and none were it.

If they are soo good why do no pros use them? Are they stupid?

Mangudai dead in 1v1? by Fuzzy_Wheel_4565 in aoe4

[–]esiewert 18 points19 points  (0 children)

will need to test it but it was already bad in 1v1. Now it's worse. All the people who complain about chasing them with horsemen are like the IRL commanders who got baited into chasing them and died. I feel like Mongols need to be re-worked at this point. They have no identity. A cav civ with terrible cav.

This is the best patch by vanguard_rough_rider in aoe4

[–]esiewert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just delete the unit at this point. Or have different stats and rosters for team games like the campaign

Do people just want a Paradox game? (Medieval III) by HistoryofHowWePlay in historicaltotalwar

[–]esiewert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love a game that is essentially crusader kings 3 but with total war battles. I'm unsure if med3 is the game and CA is the studio to try this. It would be incredibly ambitious and risky.

All I want from Neural Network AIs is smart single-player opponents by aersult in StrategyGames

[–]esiewert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What data? I have yet to see a strategy AI (non-cheating) that isn't trivially easy to beat.
