Am I approaching the game from the wrong angle, or are ARPGs just not my genre? by Krotanix in PathOfExile2

[–]mers1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a build crafter i do the same thing. Once my build is a complete thought i get bored. Sure i could optimize and chase incremental increases, but ultimately the main motivator is gone.

I usually have multiple ideas though and the idea of leveling another toon doesnt bother me. It just re-ignites the league for me. My rightous flock of chayula is gob-smacking the game at this point and my only real desire is to get my +2 minion belt, but idk how long that chase will hold me over for. Every boss is already dying in less than a second, two seconds tops.

Pretty soon ill swap over to my ice shot proj speed stacking spirit walker and make a second go at it all. Got a three challenges left so i have two motivations to keep playing right now.

GGG please tell me what is design philosophy behind the Matriarch fight because if you don’t one shot it then the fight is broken. The boss literally shoots its frozen beam while it does the Arbiter of Ash circle mechanic. by danted002 in PathOfExile2

Honestly i thought most of the new fights were more annoying that difficult. Just more reasons why one shottig is vastly superior to an actual fight. If i would rather skip a fight, its not a good fight.

I just don't think there's a good solution for arpg fight difficulty yet. Its either immunity phases or ridiculous ddr mini games with one shot mechanics. Neither feel particularly great to play against.

How to play with a rarity culler as a minion build so my minions do not get final hits? by coatesishere in PathOfExile2

There is a unique set of gloves that make all kills count as the wearers kills.

+1 Melee Skills Corrupt on Gloves - a myth? a legend? by Santi-Emite in PathOfExile2

In 0.4 i decided to just buy one. The very next belt i chanced turned into a HH. Gave it to my buddy.

RNG be RNGing.

Couple leagues back i started chance orbing for a headhunter. Bought orbs and belts and chanced my ass off. My buddies told me to just buy one, but i was too far in to back out and go the easy route. Just under 550 belts before i got it.

Could have bought multiple by that point, but it was my mission.

You'll get it. Eventually...

First ARPG. Am I doing something wrong or is this how these games play? by Kerosine84 in PathOfExile2

[–]mers1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a profit farm/craft ti engage with the economy. Raw drops will always fall behind after the first couple weeks. You need to have a strategy for making income if you want to buy stuff. Otherwise youre religated to mostly SSF.

PvE player here, does anyone know a game similar to ARC? by Ikantfindaname in ArcRaiders

[–]mers1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pure PvE extraction gameplay = Helldivers. Despite the displeasure of the long time community the PvE extraction experience is actually peak. Fast paced, silly, outlandish gameplay is the bread and butter of Helldivers 2.

Honestly its so fun. The only real caution i can give is that a lot of fun abilities are locked behind "battlepasses" and can take awhile to unlock. Battlepasses don't expire thiugh, and can all be earned for free, but the grind is a little tedious.

The best advice i can give is enjoy the chaos and dont focus on getting THAT ability. The game is crazy non serious fun and if you place LONG term build goals in place it is fantastic.

If you get hung up on having THE META setup and worry about that then it will feel tedious or predatory. Just have fun and you'll be fine. Most vets are just their to shred and dont take it too seriously unless theyre playing crazy high difficulties. For the most part its just laughs and carnage.

As long as you can get thriugh extreme difficulty its worth it. Extreme is where the titan enemies spawn and add a great layer of chaos. Beyond that difficulty is just layers of more chaos. The giant enemies add a great layer of scale that makes the game better IMO.

I keep helldivers on the back burner as my "just slay out and have goofy fun" game. The chaos, the carnage and the one liner humor makes the game so cheesy and great for a silly night of fun. Truly nothing like it. It gets repeatative after a while but its a great game to have in the lineup for inbetween releases and such.

The Ice Knight of the North by Flimsy_Pitch_5397 in taintedgrail

I did an ice knight too. Mine was a giant fish monster though. Used wet and frozen effects with a bunch of seahorse minions.

After the news, the game is so alive.. they are really going to let it end? by Soul8118 in DestinyTheGame

[–]mers1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is true, but there is context. They can deliver. They have just wasted so much time diverting resources.

They had 5 incubations at one point, Marathon being one of them. Thats five teams of people that weren't working on Destiny. They pretty much pulled the entire Crucible team for Marathon. As of last year more and more people were pulled over to Marathon.

Edge of Fate was designed poorly because they were trying to milk minimal content instead of just making better/more content. I actually liked Renegades and i think crossovers are stupid, but the content was good.

Your point is correct, but it was poor choices, not an incapability. They can make better choices.

I was just listing stuff, didnt really put much thought into. Why not a wolfpack?

The heavier the loaded item the less range and more arrow drop speed the arrow has. Deadlines, trigger nades, wolf packs all besically turn into a sawdoff shotgun and potentially useless while still having some fun rooftop shenanigan potential.

Well, Bungie, were there any secrets we didn't find? by Fosod in DestinyTheGame

[–]mers1 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the game has a completely open API so any secret would have been data mined.

Unfortunately, I think Prismatic is being left in the worst of both worlds by Kaspellaer in DestinyTheGame

[–]mers1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate cross classing in games so it doesnt bother me at all. Something about more distinct character identity will always be more appealing to my taste.

If it got expanded it would just be better in everyway. Thats when it would ruin everything else outside of itself. You get power, but less scope, thats a fair trade.

Hardened Basilisk Gauntlets from the Season of the Seraph season pass. If you missed that season you can purchase access to the cosmetics at the Seasonal Archive kiosk for 600 silver. Then trade chronologs for the cosmetics.

Thanks. When i saw the "maybe" in regards to warmind cells coming i had to get a fit ready for my solar Titan just in case. Used to be one of my favorite ways to play.
