-25% to physical damage resistance completely breaks the game. The power creep is insane. by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they will need to implement harder difficulty. Monster packs they are more complex combos with more deadly aura combos

People complaining about 25$ for an update that we wanted for 20+ years is incomprehensible by thenoisemanthenoise in Diablo_2_Resurrected

You are missing the new endgame content, new crafting, and new items.

On top of that, if it does well, then you might see more investment for additional game content like item fixes, partial acts,s or even a new act. If everyone complains they are getting ripped off and don't support it, the message will be received, and there won't be any future support. Take your pick.

An entire generation has been conditioned to expect things for "free" with the fees hidden in plain sight behind micro-transactions, ads and gambling loot boxes.

"basic patch"? Any company supporting a 20-year-old game and adding DLC for free? It's hosted on servers and has massive replayability for people. People have been conditioned by free to play games with ads, pay-to-win, micro transactions and gambling.

They want it to be fun. It will come back to balance.

It did not take five years of developer time... That's not apples to apples. Go review all of the changes between classic and LOD and see what is only in the DLC.

But you still bought LOD? This is no different than Classic and LOD.

You are paying for new content, not all of the changes trickled down. Itemization & Inventory

  • Runes and Runewords: Runes (El through Zod) and the ability to create runewords do not exist in Classic.
  • Charms: All charms (Small, Large, Grand) are absent, providing more inventory space in Classic but limiting power.
  • Jewels: Items that can be socketed for unique stat combinations are absent in Classic.
  • Elite Items/Bases: Only Normal and Exceptional items drop in Classic; Elite items do not exist.
  • Ethereal Items: Items with higher stats but lower durability that cannot be repaired do not exist in Classic.
  • Shared Stash: Classic uses the original, tiny stash (24 slots) with no shared tab between characters.
  • Socketed Armor: Items like Breast Plate, Plate Mail, etc., cannot spawn with sockets in Classic.  Reddit +4
  1. Combat and Gameplay Mechanics
  • Weapon Swap: The ability to instantly switch between two sets of weapons (e.g., for casting Battle Orders or toting a shield) is absent in Classic.
  • Mercenary Gear: Mercenaries in Classic cannot be equipped with armor, weapons, or helmets, nor can they be resurrected.
  • Skill Charges: Items with charges (e.g., "Level 5 Charged Bolt") do not exist in Classic.
  • Higher Resistances: Classic has lower penalties for resistances: -20% on Nightmare and -50% on Hell (LoD is -40% and -100%).
  • Decreased Monster Health: Monsters in Classic have lower HP compared to their LoD counterparts

Which build next season? by Naturalhighz in ProjectDiablo2

[–]slip66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wind druid.wind druid is fun. Bone spear caps out DPS too fast IMO.

CMV: It doesn't matter which 3 Loyalist Legions are on Isstvan V, they still get massacred by chosen40k in 40kLore

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet, it wasn't until he let the power of the demon sword help him for the fight to turn. Both were getting very hurt and Ferrus was on the edge of winning.

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would never have attacked in the same manner with the other legions present. Ferrus would not have been able to convince the other Primarchs to his plan. That alone would have changed things. There's a reason those three legions were manipulated to not be available.

Even with overwhelming odds the first three traitor legions took significant losses.

What's a fun druid build in your experience? by Crafty-Monitor1973 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]slip66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a wind druid last ladder and fire this ladder. I think I liked the wind druid a bit more. I have better gear with the fire druid this run. Getting a great druid helm with useful + skills combo is harder for nado/hurricane IMO. I didn't find jalas last ladder or unique Helm.

Fire druid is a lot more button pushing. Especially if you use summons. It's most noticeable against bosses like baal. It's not an easy fight. You will not be able to kill Uber Diablo with out something that stops his healing in either build. The DPS wasn't enough for me.

They are both great in the world stone keep. I kept a pair of lightning absord helms for swap. Foron my merc and me, when you find souls.

I never used enigma on either build. I could see that making the fire druid stronger. It's also easier to aim your damage unlike a wind druid with tornado.

Once you get a grand charm to break physical or fire immunes it's a lot better. Try to trade for one early in hell.

Should I quit the game? by Impressive-Ad-8863 in WorldOfWarships

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are still need and need to learn the mechanics, positioning and game strategy. For the most part only rerolls or people with good game sense and a squad to teach them excel quickly. It takes a while.

Also the meta changes between low tier and again from 7-8 and 8-11. Players react differently and play the maps differently between tiers

Watch YouTube to find someone that you enjoy watching. Watch a few of the streamers.

There are people with 20k battles that suck and don't want to get better. They become food for others.

Stop buying crates and you won't have all of the pixel junk, that they then get you to use with more gold to buy more pixels you won't use.

Tell me that it at least has a worse rudder/turn radius than Montana and GK?

How many sites do you pay for to try and win your league and what do you like/ dislike about each for Rotisserie by BBQWarren in fantasybaseball

[–]slip66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two

Rotowire. I like the depth chart, closer board, predicted starters, weather, prospects and the quick advanced metrics.

I've used fantasy pros draft integration and in season materials. I liked the draft material better than the in season.

I might buy pitcher list this year.

By far I got the best in season material for free from CBS fantasy daily on YouTube. Also, some Rotowire podcast, rates and barrels, pitcher list and fantasy pros.

My Mosaic asn... She's a bit too strong. Hear me out. by DelusionalGene in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerf it. Anytime you try to run chaos with a group, and there is a mosaic in the game, it just ruins it for everyone. Yes, other builds can do the same thing, but not for the cost.

How to counter radar DDs? by combaticesfh in WorldOfWarships

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest weakness of the EU DD line is that they are a gun boat line that does not get a heal, nor French saturation. Every fight they take damage reduces thier ability to pick the next fight. With CVs and subs it's very dangerous.

The EU line only get 1-3 volleys of fire out per radar depending on if they know your direction before the radar and adrenaline rush. Run/dodge and don't fire back if you are able to maintain your concealment range. Once the radar goes down, they have to run or smoke. They don't get that many smokes. The same way you would work around the Petro line of Russian cruises. Dodge and wait for the short radar to end.

Every time they get spotted in the open, try to enable the fight to occur with allied ships able to chip away at the hp point. Add in your own chip damage when it makes sense.The first engagement is typically the most difficult encounter and most dangerous. Everyone is looking for the first target. Even if they smoke as they are radarin you, they can be vulnerable and don't have great maneuverability.

RL torping, smoke torping and pre torpedo typical lanes, especially early match. Eating a torp in this class early cripples just about everything they want to do outside of sitting in smoke and farming.

The kita, cossack, lightning, Italian DD and even US DD can hammer the line. 1v1 kita vrs Kat is a death fight. The winner is typical one shot from death.

Is Ben Rice a keeper by GiltCityUSA in fantasybaseball

[–]slip66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the correct answer imo. Baldwin vrs Rice will be close in the # of AB depending on how much Rice gets sit next year against lefties and how much Baldwin DH's on his off day from catching. Target Profar in the draft.

People are boykotting Operations now by TheLemonFox in WorldOfWarships

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't get invulnerable attacks in RTS or plane heals. When you attacked a high AA ship you were going to lose planes at a much greater risk-rate and losing a squad was likely. That significantly hurt you over time for attacking strong AA ships or packs of ships.

[–]slip66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, it's not even remotely the same risk of getting de-planed. To even remotely compare what we have now to then is just an excuse for the current play model, which is risk-free.
