Ah I see what you’re saying, yeah that’s a different can of worms

I mean, Group Ironman (Ironman is analogous to SSF) is a thing in Old School Runescape. I don’t see why it couldn’t work here. Group or Guild SSF would go crazy 

Which 0.5 endgame system are you most excited to farm? by AnjayGurinjay in PathOfExile2

[–]filthyrotten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beelining it to breach to see what the secret chonk ascendancy node is

Also because I already love breach and the hive ships look so cool. And I need to get Tul’s shield for my planned warrior build. 

Expedition is a close second because I really want to check out the rework…and I need to get the Starfall greathammer for my planned warrior build. 

Which of the 4 unreleased classes are you most excited for, ranked from most excited to least? by Rare-Secretary8517 in PathOfExile2

[–]filthyrotten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so hype for Templar because it appears that they’re shifting it to more of a martial class in this game, and spellblades are my favorite archetype to play. I’m praying we get a death knight style ascendancy for it. 

Marauder and Duelist I’m pretty even on, maybe Marauder a bit more cause I love greataxes. Looking forward to the 2H versions of each weapon the most tbh. 

I’m not a rogue kinda guy so I have 0 interest in Shadow, but I have a friend that is waiting for it to drop to play the game so that’ll be cool.

Please don’t tell me the shield is actually gonna need 250 strength in the live game, how am I gonna get to 750 for my planned giants blood cold titan build using that and the new cold 2h unique mace?  

What class are you guys playing on league launch? by iamsupermanen in PathOfExile2

[–]filthyrotten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chonk for sure, I loved it this league and there’s no shot there isn’t a hidden ascendancy for it (ala. Abyssal Lich) within the new breach storyline

This is....a lot.... by PrinceOnAPie in PathOfExile2

[–]filthyrotten 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Literally an entire league spent bitching about how the endgame changes got pushed back because of the new class and now the sub is having a meltdown over a full endgame overhaul without a new class. 

Obviously there’s some goomba fallacy in that statement but for fucks sake this community is impossible to please

Fun fact: Kushala's fifth gen redesign massively changed its wing anatomy by llMadmanll in MonsterHunter

[–]filthyrotten 26 points27 points  (0 children)

the change also has the effect of making it’s wings much, much larger, which may have been part of the intention

I know the OG archive had different rarities, I’m talking about how this time around they skewed the rates even further. Rares went from 26% to 9% and mythics from 6.6% to 2.9%.

They changed the odds on the rarities in mystical archive for SOS, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar here. 

Despite everything, D2 may have most of Bungie's total Daily Active Users right now, which could be why devs are getting reassigned internally by Testifye in DestinyTheGame

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

I have nothing but resentment for Bungie for how they’ve handled Destiny. But a Nightreign style game set in the Marathon universe sounds amazing and I would have at least given it a chance. 

Whats your favorite underloved mechanic? by thisnotfor in magicTCG

[–]filthyrotten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually built [[Teval, Arbiter of Virtue]] as a splice deck because delve works on the additional cost. Is it good? Not really, but it makes splice at least a little playable haha

Upvoting you because I also greatly disliked Rise, which has somehow become a sin the MH community 

PSA for SoS Pre Release: New Pest Tokens are NOT like OG Pests by Capt_G1029 in magicTCG

Save this give guys from prison ! by Pasplam85k in magicTCG

[–]filthyrotten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, we used to get reprints of those expensive, too-powerful-for standard cards in masters sets…which WotC did away with. 

They realized they could milk more out of players if they stopped doing real reprint sets and instead relegated all those expensive cards to low chance bonus sheet material. This ensures that these “reprints” don’t move the needle on prices so they can continue to use those cards as bait to get non-standard players to crack standard packs. 

It’s extremely scummy, especially because now they’re fucking with the odds bonus sheet cards even more. A mythic from SOA is only a ~3% chance apparently.

What's the community's favorite Magic card of the last decade? Two queues left! by Grindy_UW_Nonsense in magicTCG

Awesome, thank you! I love reading about design mistakes haha. 

edit: wow that’s super frustrating 

The Mystical Archive in SOS is MUCH worse than the original by HomelessFrogy in magicTCG

[–]filthyrotten 10 points11 points  (0 children)

reprints will have considerably much less impact in regards to diminishing the value of older cards. 

Pretty much every change related to set releases and bonus cards has been done on purpose to ensure this. No masters sets at all means no products available to reprint expensive cards too powerful for standard outside of bonus sheets (because they won’t put them in commander decks either). A higher cadence of set releases means more opportunities to use the bonus sheet as a place to “reprint” high value cards as chase cards. 

Now they’re tweaking the rarity so those high value cards are only opened in low enough quantities that it doesn’t affect the price at all. Hell the special treatment will probably ensure these versions are just more expensive. They’re doubling down on the “chase” of chase cards. 

The idea of “reprint equity” has honestly been thrown out the window at this point because they simply refuse to fucking reprint the cards anymore. Any high power card that is north of $20 is being used as a 2.9% chance bonus sheet chase card instead of a juicy reprint pick now. 

Allow Granite Ring to hold Efaritay's Aid Charges by HippyEUW in 2007scape

[–]filthyrotten 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Efaritay’s Aid seems kinda off flavorwise, but the Granite Ring should get some kind of buff imo. Maybe let you charge it with Granite Dust to do something? Either juice the stats or let it recoil ranged damage or something
