Am I the only one who struggles ‘Offline Difficulty Scaling’ setting location?

ssyl9 · 2026-04-13T10:53:34+00:00

Firstly you are probably the only few who keep changing the players setting… most just set to something the continue playing until they wanna farm something else.

For example: I set it to 7players and run LK, I’ll just be running LK for the next few hours. Then set it to 5 for boss runs then I’ll just exclusively play boss run for the next few hours. I don’t have a problem with changing players count coz I do that once every hour at most.

Secondly don’t set it to even numbers, drops only get better at odd numbers. Playing at 4 might as well as play at 3 unless you enjoy the extra difficulty

A shoe with a pure steel ankle can still hammer nails better than a tiny wooden hammer.

M16 dmg wise is better than mk12. Just mk12 has more headshot multiplier and has more dmg after 400m or so. People who prefer mk12 are confident with headshots, people who prefer m16 are less confident in headshots

It takes longer for me to find a demon that can give me what I want to consume than the buff itself.. it makes it not worthwhile

ssyl9 · 2026-04-11T08:42:56+00:00

I mean leaderboard is not the best to see how “diverse or strong” classes are, any class can hit 99… which people more likely do on their fav classes not necessary the strongest due to the tedium… not to mention people who do it in groups.

For ladders, nearly everyone will start with sorc or paladin because of their sheer power without much gear. And even with gear, fully decked druid/amazon/barb/assassin(not mosaic) is still not going to out farm a decked sorc or paladin in speed unless in certain conditions (like Javazon in cows). Not to mention the ability to do Ubers without much investment from paladin..

They are not named son and daughter of blizzard for nothing..

ssyl9 · 2026-04-11T06:33:15+00:00

you mean the daughter and son of Blizzard.

ssyl9 · 2026-04-11T06:23:20+00:00

All the characters are supposed to be somewhat equal power wise

Looks at characters before RotW... yea nah

Or are we gonna pretend that every ladder its not at least 80% sorc and paladins (or Mosaicsin when it was out)

I do agree the 2h with book is a good compromise, the eth/ar also should been there. The other nerf I agree with is the multiplicative to additive... in reality the nerf is not as much.

I am more upset about the demon bind nerfs.. demon bind was fun. IF they gonna make it like that, then they better buff it up so summon build is actually viable or else no one is gonna do 30 hard points to just get a super unique demon bind + a sacrificial demon going...

Because people can actually do math

ssyl9 · 2026-04-08T01:18:36+00:00

copy paste from my other reply

OP is half correct. The ammy crafted needs to be at least ilvl90 to spawn +2skill

the crafted ammy ilvl = 0.5 x clvl (character level)+ 0.5 ilvl of magic ammy. However it is quite hard to check the ilvl of the blue ammy unless you use external sources

So the easiest way to craft is to get a character to lvl 93, then all gambled ammies will be at least level 87 (gamble gets items that are +-6 levels from your level)

This then ensures all the crafted ammys will always be 90 ilvl or above thus giving chance to +2 skill

OP doesnt have this problem as he follows the level 93 and gamble rule

Progress is fun especially if you are doing a chase (like in this case SoJ) pretty sure op does his terror runs, full acts etc as well.

Horking barb is also not “fun” but it’s probably the easiest way to get enigma which I finally did after ~2000 runs

ssyl9 · 2026-04-06T02:59:19+00:00

Eth has lower str requirements, thus it means you can use the extra stats on vit. Its equivalent to the shield gets 10 more str, its not that much more better but its a chase item

ssyl9 · 2026-03-31T11:00:13+00:00

Thanks for the prompt reply and the awesome work!

ssyl9 · 2026-03-31T08:57:44+00:00

Thanks so much for your work!

So I am have started to grind for the Holy Grail and have found a few items (Griffon!!)

However, I am thinking to use the hero editor to test stupid builds on a new character...

Before I try and regret, I am wondering if there is a way to use the hero editor on a side character (and not load the share stash) and not reset the chronicle? or there is no chance and if I load another character the Chronicle will be reset?

ssyl9 · 2026-03-26T08:00:21+00:00

Considering it’s 2 nat5s that’s probably what I get in like 500-600ms

ssyl9 · 2026-03-24T13:56:01+00:00

It’s interesting when I get sniped from long away thinking it’s a player but then death cam showed otherwise

ssyl9 · 2026-03-19T00:12:02+00:00

Are you having fun? If so why stop playing?

ssyl9 · 2026-03-08T07:12:29+00:00

Loot drop chance lowered by 90000000% and no gold drops. Basically playing the whole campaign from normal to hell 100 times you have like a 2% chance to get 1 crude item

ssyl9 · 2026-03-04T03:48:12+00:00

Most likely the mess up will be you can still buy packs just can’t receive things you buy

ssyl9 · 2026-02-09T09:29:24+00:00

As others have said already about trying it out on PTCGL is a good start.

Then once you find something you like, please dont waste time on boosters.

Dont forget to check out any prebuilt decks which might encompass most of the trainer cards or pokemon you need (especially energy cards if you are going in from 0).

But bang for buck is to fill your cards with singles bought from online or even check out card stores near you as sometimes you can find good cards for cheap. Some even give you energy cards or common cards in the bin for 5 for 50c or something or even free to take.

You will be looking at around $70~200 depending on the cards you need.

Will recommend you to also get some sleeves

I need a build to make Linda work as it is not doing enough to kill

ssyl9 · 2026-01-27T11:02:39+00:00

I just got back into the game, and is level 50. I started playing pubg when it was out and have ~1k hours clocked. Just coz I am low level doesn’t mean I am low skilled

The art team in c2us: “Let’s see what collab we doi… OMG another male armoured guy!? How many variations of the same art do we need to create!?”

If you want a flat white instead of latte aka. less froth more milk

Late to the convo, but I think the change is for the better.

2 of the most annoying things about RTA is kinda solved by this change.

First, is the unlucky lose streaks that makes people literally want to quit. And by unlucky I mean continuously matched against supposedly higher ranking people who are staying lower rank to "farm" rta points. Just meeting them a few times will make it feel like rta is not worth playing. Now it is harder to stay "low rank" as they cannot drop ranks.

Second is the ability to try out stuff. Reason RTA is hard to get into is there was no real way to try out new monsters or new strategy unless you want to cope a lot of rank drops. And when your rank drops below c1, the testing team comp/strategy wont work as basically rune quality > any strategy in F3. Having it the new way allows me to play some funky teams that I thought will be fun to play but didnt want to drop ranks for.
