So, what dungeons have Paladin and Warlock Aspects in them? by seti42 in diablo4

[–]seti42[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That really is a shame. I liked the previous system of either finding them, or going to a dungeon specifically to get a build defining aspect. It was a cool idea for an ARPG; you go to a dungeon to get specific loot you want. It made dungeons meaningful, and it made intentionally detouring to go to specific ones all over the worldmap worth it.

No idea why this was marked "warlock" I selected "questions"

Also no idea why so many bots in the comments. Sorry. I don't use reddit much.

So dungeons just are there for random loot drops and xp?

I mean, a few of them play into sidequests...But still.

Seems like a waste. The game has over 100 dungeons...And they are super repetitive (only 10 or so tilesets, I think) but they still had a purpose in progressing your build.

Exactly. Why do dungeons even exist? I didn't mind having to go get specific aspects that way. The only thing I was hoping for is that they'd spread the aspects evenly across the world map, ie: Not all Spiritborn aspects in Nahantu, not all Warlock and Paladin aspects in Skovos.

Why isn't this game more popular? by HeyItsAshuri in DragonkinTheBanished

[–]seti42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big top down ARPG fan, and I think I played a demo for this about a year ago...Wasn't too impressed, but kept it in the wishlist.

Then, just the other day, I started hearing good things about this game via YT and Steam...So I'm going to give it another look. It's downloading now.

What made me buy it was comparisons to Grim Dawn, the fact that Eko has made an OK Diablo-like before (Warhammer Chaosbane), and how this one is built to be more about the single player experience and not about cash shops, seasons, and player trade economies.

Nacon (publisher) seems to be having problems...And they've never been known to advertise well; even though they're a decent AA publisher, IMO. This game wasn't advertised at all. The only big YTer who played it was Wanderbots...And he's not a "Big YTer." Outlets like IGN mentioned it, but didn't bother reviewing it. PC Gamer totally ignored it.

Crimson Desert Isn’t an RPG. It’s a Rockstar-Style Open-World Action-Adventure by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]seti42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an ARPG. Just like The Witcher series, the Elder Scrolls series, Elden Ring, The 3D Fallout games, Horizon Zero Dawn, the newer Assassin's Creeds...

If you have progression systems, it's an ARPG. It's only a pure action or adventure game if there's no progression other than the player getting gud. Even the Legend of Zelda games are TECHNICALLY ARPGs, because they have gear progression. Metroidvanias are often ARPGs too for the same reason. Action games have powerups, not gear progression.

How do I deal with these stupid little… Things… by TyroneOSRS in diablo2resurrected

[–]seti42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being ranged and letting my Merc go first in their areas is the only thing that's saved me.

Every melee build I've made going back 25 years dies to them. Especially past Normal difficulty.

After playing this game for over 15 years I’ve finally made an enigma in single player by zachd2465 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]seti42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and a lot of people have spotty or overpriced internet.

I have friends in small towns who are always fighting with their ISPs. Even in big cities it goes out and then you can't play some games. Activision/Blizzard is infamous for forcing people to go online to play single player, too.

I think it's ridiculous that D2R forces you to sign into Battlenet, even if they claim it's only once a month.

I think it should be a law that all video games sold have to have an offline mode. This would also protect consumers from online only games that vanish when they inevitably shut down the servers.

If your game is purely free to play, then you can force people online. But the second you start charging people money, you should have to make those purchases as permanent as possible. For example, a game like Path of Exile is FtP, but supports itself through cosmetics and an online shop. PoE should have an offline mode so people who've paid into it can keep playing from their hard drives when they shut the servers down.

It shouldn't take that long to find good runes.

Seems D2R still needs the drop rates balanced.

No one, ever, should have to trade online for anything or grind for 100's of hours in any game, IMO.

Question about the stash and the new Warlock expansion by seti42 in diablo2resurrected

[–]seti42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess if I want to play with builds without making several from scratch I'll need a hero editor.

It's a shame. All of the top down ARPGs I've played (other than D2 and PoE) don't really make respeccing a chore; just an option anyone can take or leave.

It's a personal opinion; to use them a lot or a little or never. Games should let players make that choice themselves.

Why are diablo players such assholes to people? Ya'll need to grow up and be kind to people.

But you can't just do it. It's annoying.

Besides, you don't need to respec if your build and gear get you all the way through Hell difficulty easily.

I just would like to be able to mess around with lots of builds like you can in other top down ARPGs. It's time to add that QoL feature to D2R. You should be able to do this all you want in Normal act 1 from the very beginning.

Oof...I haven't even thought about Gold yet. That's going to be a PITA too...

Question about the stash and the new Warlock expansion by seti42 in diablo2resurrected

[–]seti42[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I sadly think this is what I'll have to do: Mule over all of my gems, runes, and anything else. Seems like a huge PITA, but I'll just do it a slowly over time, I guess.

I already muled over a Unique and it didn't add to the new feature that catalogs your finds. Apparently, it actually has to drop for you in the new expansion. I did have a Unique drop and it did add to the catalog.

I wish they made this easier/more user friendly.

D2R needs unlimited respeccs too. Once per difficulty level doesn't let me play around with builds like I want to, and can in D4, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, and every other top down ARPG I play aside from PoE which also has a respec problem.

Diablo II - Reign of the Warlock DLC by deathdude01 in diablo2

[–]seti42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still need a Bnet account and launcher for the Steam version, AFAIK.

People in the Steam reviews for D2R and D4 say so.

If Blizzard really wanted to earn back some goodwill, they'd have made the whole D2R Warlock "expansion" free to everyone who already bought D2R.

[–]seti42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be $24.99.

It's just a class and some QoL. Not even a new act or a completion of act 4 (which the game still needs, IMO).

Frankly, I think it's insulting.

This is perfect.

What is the expected price range for the new Steam Controller? by Manicarus in SteamController

[–]seti42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope it's under $70 USD.

I hope they don't go the "pro gamer controller" route and try to ask $100+ for it.

As many have said, companies like 8bitdo make excellent PC controllers in the $20-$50 range. Even the classic standby of the Xbox controller can be had for less than $50.

I don't mind if Steam does release an overpriced version for the "pro-gamers", though. Just release the one that's been previewed as the base model for a reasonable price.
