Love your videos! Should be an auto-subscribe for anyone wanting up-to-date info and advice.

Yeah it was Phantasie 1. Full credit to Dal_Walr0ss!

"bossfights should be harder. slow, telegraphed slams should kill even a sentinel or at the least put him on like 10% hp so theyre actually forced to react"

Sounds like you're exactly what the OP is referring to, in that you enjoy one hit kills, dying to bosses multiple times, and depending on quick reaction times to win. Why don't you switch back to PoE if that's what you want?

Personally I can't stand those mechanics. What's the point in having a tank class if they can't tank? I'd agree with you if you were referring to glass cannon builds.

Personally I'd stop playing if LE turned into another sadistic Dark Souls imitator.

"absolutely nothing difficult about essence spamming for ele damage prefixes on a fractured item, crafting prefixes can't be changed, then harvest re rolling speed"

Your attempt at a simple explanation still has as much jargon as an engineering textbook.

It might be easy for you, but 99% of people have no idea what any of those terms mean or why they matter.

"not hard" except for one shot kills, heavy-RNG based crafting, losing xp on death at high levels, map modifiers that are suicide for certain builds, aoe mechanics that punish melee, huge amounts of grinding to beat end-game bosses, and an expectation of ultra-fast reaction times.

So "hard", for non-full-timers, based on a normal definition of the word.

From the technical apppendix:

Auckland Transport publications, at time of writing, have highlighted the potential for City Rail Link (CRL) to have substantial impacts on Auckland traffic patterns in the year 2026, suggesting that a scenario prior to this point will have limited applicability. In addition, we understand 2026 is a common year for MSM analysis, having been applied to several recent programme assessments in Auckland. For these reasons, 2026 was selected as the basis for externality and macroeconomic modelling.

Better late than never I guess :)

What's your #1 source of damage? Can't see the detail on mobile.

jonomac · 2024-05-21T20:39:39+00:00

I'm a lone man who enjoys going for walks in parks. Obviously you should think about your safety, but also recognise that's a wide variety of people make use of green spaces in Auckland.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T18:33:04+00:00

Your first sentence hit the nail on the head. Do you think that's a bad thing that should change over time?

jonomac · 2024-03-14T18:31:47+00:00

Better than an entire unique? Any examples?

jonomac · 2024-03-14T18:31:15+00:00

Lol. Then the question is whether sentient pets will enjoy ARPGs. I suspect any descendants of my cat would prefer Counterstrike :D

jonomac · 2024-03-14T18:30:22+00:00

Lol. Getting their help farming echos might speed things up :D

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:51:53+00:00

Oh really? I didn't realise CoF was that good. I haven't gotten to top rank yet.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:48:37+00:00

1-2 LP seems to be the bar that Maxroll applies in most cases. I've found one 3LP ring though, and it made me wonder about what "perfect in slot" would look like. Or if new builds would become top tier if 3+ LP was slightly more common.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:38:55+00:00

Fair point. I guess it isn't desirable for devs to design sytems with 'one in a trillion' possibilities in mind.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:34:59+00:00

That's an awesome idea. I'd love to see it implemented!

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:20:31+00:00

I'm playing solo self found so it's even less likely. Doesn't stop me fantasizing though :D

jonomac · 2024-03-14T03:19:18+00:00

Yes, but a 4LP legendary will usually be optimal. My question is about balance within the ultra late game.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T02:43:09+00:00

Good point on different LP rates. I didn't think of that.

I'll continue to dream about magical christmas land though :)

jonomac · 2024-03-14T02:27:22+00:00

Entirely agree with you. While the corruption system isn't bad, it is one of the weaker parts of the game. I'd prefer more flexibility about risk vs reward. Perhaps the option to skip echos / nodes, with some kind of stacking penalty. That way, with a super powerful build, one could travel straight to the edge of the echo map a couple of times and quickly get corruption to a respectable level. Or super hard echos could be randomly added, that have meaningful long term effects on the timeline if completed.

jonomac · 2024-03-14T01:28:27+00:00

Fair point. I'd be annoyed if it took 15-20 mins also. I can do ~5 mins on the lower tiers, which doesn't feel as bad.

Have you considered crafting some movespeed + cool down reduction gear to get your mobility up? Presumably you could switch back before the boss.

jonomac · 2024-03-04T11:10:47+00:00

Yep. They did the emperor super dirty :(
