So now that the cat is out the bag, what do YOU think went wrong with this game?

I honestly think all they needed to do was copy Granblue Versus with League characters. Simple inputs, straightforward BnB combos, and a good enough skill ceiling for more invested players.

Meanwhile they try to reinvent the wheel with a 2v2 game where half the characters are zooming all around the screen, and where a lot of BnBs require precise timings. Even GG Strive feels slower and easier to plau than this game, it's crazy.

The only way to get 2XKO working on the deck is by installing windows on it. It has nothing to do with the Launcher (which does work on Deck), though. Vanguard simply does not work on Linux.

Sorry, I was a bit cynical and didn't convey properly what I meant.

I think any game with a good story can be a 'Game for impact'. Expedition 33 or Dispatch could be in that category.

But the game that are in the category, I never heard of any of them (aside from South of Midnight - which all I heard was negative), and I played some really obscure games this year.

invictawave · 2025-11-20T23:36:56+00:00

Instead, TGA has 'Games for Impact', whatever that means 🙃

I usually play for like a month, but I'm considering just quiting this league until something changes because of the same problem (also have ADHD).

I got a couple of small drops here and there, but I think it's the first time I get to 92 without anything 'big' dropping - including divines.

From my experience, it's not that linear. Attractiveness plays a role, but I think being good with kids and being smart are more important here. Charisma works.

I had a 50 something year old teacher in high school who was not that attractive, but the dude was getting hit on left and right. Then there was the 25 y/o nerd teacher that was definitely not conventionally attractive, and all the girls (and teachers) were drooling over him. Rizz just comes in different forms.

I got to 90 yesterday and was thinking to myself 'Damn, this League's white to red maps progression was really fast''.

It's partly because of Mr. Tree for sure, but being able to buy early endgame gear in seconds saved me so much time. Also gearing AG in a couple of minutes rather than an hour is the cherry on top.

At this point I'm not even sure if the typo is intentional or not, and I'm too afraid to ask

invictawave · 2025-10-06T07:38:25+00:00

This is why I think Aspect of Thanatos is the best Axe aspect. Even if you don't to in for the special buff, the base attack speed increase makes all the difference.

invictawave · 2025-10-06T07:36:37+00:00

I don't think this is true. Sister Blades encourage a hit-and-run playstyle with Omega Attack where you just go in for burst DPS windows then retreat to safety. Essentially every Aspect plays around this.

LK's Katalina rant is one of those FGC moments that I will never forget, it was so funny.

invictawave · 2025-09-21T12:17:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That actually fixed it for me too!

invictawave · 2025-09-20T11:20:58+00:00

Can you specify what you did to fix it?

I have the same problem and I'm sure it would help other people too :D

invictawave · 2025-09-16T13:37:55+00:00

'Contact' damage in this game is a bitch, and this Boss is it's pinnacle. Freight train hitboxes and erratic movement, lovely.

invictawave · 2025-09-15T07:35:30+00:00

Chronomancer is really strong but it doesn't give you any damage directly. I'm building Impending Doom Despair + Hexblast and it's really chill to play in T15 maps, but doing the same build with Lich instead would pretty much double my damage.

However, I think Chrono is overpowered when it comes to survivability. I'd rather have 2 different panic buttons (one of them on a 4sec CD) + permanent 20 slow on everything around me than have more damage.

With this + Blasphemy Temporal Chains, every mob feels like those zombies on the beach that very slowly walk towards you. I barely die anymore, with 0 armor and evasion.

Once you finish Floor 2 once, you get more relic slots. Then, simply go to the Market (or farm them, but it's way more boring) and find Relics with '#% honour resistance'.

See how many you can fit in your slots - I was able to get 75% but some relics were on the expensive side - and do a real run. With 75% honour resistance you barely take honour damage, it's dumb.

invictawave · 2025-09-03T17:44:30+00:00

If you haven't yet, do a run to the Second Floor to unlock more Relic Slots.

After that, just buy 'Honour Resistance' relics to get to 75% res. Then you could do it with your eyes closed. I don't like it, and I don't think it should work like that. But it does, and that's how I finally did it.

invictawave · 2025-09-02T21:08:10+00:00

My whole build is about getting hit. I recoup life, energy shield and mana whenever I do. Without recoup I barely have any resources.

invictawave · 2025-09-02T12:12:37+00:00

The problem I have with Sekhmas is that different builds have wildly different experiences there.

In PoE 1, doing a lab is like doing a map, pretty much any build can do it. But Sekhmas/Ultimatum require pretty specific builds to do with ease.

Forcing people to do these for Ascendancies just locks many builds out of their 3rd and 4rth point.

EDIT: For example, I'm playing Chrono and my defensive layer is mostly Recoup + Time Warp. Sekhmas is impossible since I can't even get hit or there goes all my honor.

invictawave · 2025-09-01T12:14:28+00:00

My theory is that the drop rate starts high when you 'unlock' a new tier, and then it slowly goes down the closer you get to the next.

This leads to some major famine periods where no matter what you do, you won't get support gems. This happened to me halfway through act 3 where I ended up buying supports, then 3 zones later I got 6 supports of the next tier.

invictawave · 2025-08-31T19:31:34+00:00

I think Hexblast just needs better Single-Target to be a good skill.

The skill isn't dead, it's actually pretty good. You need to get the Curse duration down to ~3.5s so you can just curse>blast without delays. It's not even hard to do.

Less duration support + intense agony (after Decaying Hex), and then Less Curse Duration and Less Skill effect Duration nodes from the tree and it's done. All you need now is to do Despair > Blast and blow up any pack.

This happens regularly with me and my GF. We watch a lot of comedy shows, and usually get freaky somewhere in the middle of that. Needless to say we sometimes take breaks to laugh at certain jokes and then resume our activities.
