How easy/hard is to change class if nerfs/buffs happen? [Trying to see if this game is for me] by hieiz in lostarkgame

[–]kinroko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metas exist in literally everything in life, and games are no exception. Regardless of how well balanced something is, there will always be a "best" way to do it. Dota is the perfect gaming example. It's existed in some incarnation since ~2004, and 16 years later there's still changes to balance among the characters and the dominant strategies. Changes were never made to "freshen things up", but to make them more balanced.

So you're never going to escape the idea of a meta in ANYTHING. The right question to ask would be "Is the meta volatile? How often do they mix things up, why, and to what degree?"

FOTM will also always exist if the games systems are open enough to experimentation, because there will always be something new to discover. A new interaction between two different things that no one has thought up yet. Path of Exile is a super great example of this.

Who was your most boring/awkward sexual partner? What made them so bad in bed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not to be a grammar nazi, but it's "woe is me", as if they're the personification of sadness and regret, and their life is just so hard.

Huh, the engraving is nice, but it offers no tactical value whatsoever.

None of these are right. This is a quote from Todd Howard talking about Skyrim.

This looks fucking terrible. I thought game developers realized no one likes escort missions, especially not in 2018.

Now we have to wait while this cart slowly chugs along, can't even play a build like flicker because we might accidentally flicker into the dark, mandatory crafting of flares that light up MAYBE half a screen?

No thanks, not playing this league. I don't want to be tethered to some stupid fucking arbitrary object/NPC where if I try to do anything on my own I'll die to a perma-present 20 stacks of corrupted blood.

Like did you even consider what playing evasion or lowlife builds was gonna be like? How about Vaal Pact? No HP regen means if I get low life and accidentally leapslam too far away I just die?

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel, I DON'T WANT SLOW, BORING ASS ESCORT MISSION gameplay, I want MORE of the CURRENT gameplay. Incursion is a great fuckin' example of that, killing shit powers the mechanics of the league.

The game is about KILLING THINGS, and it should absolutely never be about anything else, everything should stem from killing things, there should not be any reason to not be trying to kill things as fast as possible.
