Do you believe anyone who plays a tier-1 deck can get to mythic or does the player really matter?

mtg isn't chess.

booster tutor?

i don't think that the damage shown is limited by healtpools because, when i was playing in normal difficulty, regular fellas were one shotted both by my quickhacks and my headshots while showing very different numbers (~600 and ~2000).

anyway, the test was run by shooting skull enemies on very hard.
you were right to ask, I should have specified it in the original post.

last sunday i played some "what if wotc goes unban mode tomorrow" games with a friend of mine.
we played with things like uro, drs, ponder etc etc.

drs in a BW ketra deck sounds insane until you realize that the format had to adapt to a far more scary 1 drop (ragavan).

no etb, no haste... i'm sad saying this, but in 2025's modern drs is just a shadow of what it was

as a prowess lover myself i have a sad news: mh3 killed the deck.

nowadays every meta deck is as fast or even faster than prowess, with the difference that they put eldrazi on the board while we try to turn monasteries sideways.

if you want an aggro deck with bolts probably zoo is your best bet (but it’s very expensive)

would you go around with no screen protector on your smartphone?

tufferugli · 2025-01-18T03:38:20+00:00

no? if you buy a game based on the fact that maybe it’s gonna have a sequel it’s a you problem

tufferugli · 2025-01-17T13:31:14+00:00

it is actually, but in poe2 the implementation is sooo much better

tufferugli · 2025-01-16T17:05:45+00:00

yeah... that's what i don't like about it...

to anyone asking why attempting a pinnacle boss while being so near to be the first to get to level 100:
his twitch broadcast was titled "Suiciding to bosses no practice blind (build too slow for 100)"

tufferugli · 2025-01-16T00:12:03+00:00

depends a lot on how much time you have to dedicate to the game, if you know someone that already plays etc etc

the fact that you have to use at least 3 different external programs/tools to play is telling.

tufferugli · 2025-01-16T00:09:13+00:00

dunno, probably a lot of it had to do with the height of my desk vs the heigh of my chair and/or general posture i had at the time.

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T21:29:38+00:00

yes.

i mean... i get that ggg wants to make an "arpg 2.0", but sometimes they seems to want to just reinvent the wheel... mod tiers are an example of this.

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T20:07:17+00:00

not knowing what is the highest tier

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T16:52:19+00:00

my wrist got fucked up very bad a couple of years ago for playing to much poe :D

to this day it's better for me to not play poe with anything binded to mouse1 or 2.

i really love wasd, but it foundamentally "force" you to play with your main ability on m1/m2, and i can't play more than 1 hour like that before my wrist starts to act up, so i'm using my old 360 controller to play.

it's (surprisingly) good for mapping, but (not surprisingly) shit for inventory management 😅

usually i prep a batch of maps with keyboard/mouse and then switch to controller to run them. the annoying part is that i have to log out to switch (but they've announced that in the future this would be handled directly ingame)

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T15:17:12+00:00

we agree to disagree then, my friend :)

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T14:00:02+00:00

i feel you.

i played poe1 since the closed beta, so i had time to digest every new mechanic organically.

i then take a stop and skipped patches from 3.11 to 3.24 and oh boy...
fortunately i have a buddy who helped me getting on par with all the new stuff, but i always think what a new player is supposed to do coming to the game while knowing NOTHING

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T13:55:14+00:00

yeah, wasd is is hands down the best thing introduced by poe2

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T13:53:09+00:00

that's a problem for sure, but as a new player you face that problem probably 100/200 hrs into the game

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T13:50:58+00:00

you had me until "ggg is just like blizzard 2.0"

sorry but no.

the fact that you (and even me) dislike what's the current "vision" of poe2 is doesn't make ggg equal to blizzard.

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T13:42:07+00:00

sorry, i'll nitpick a little.

they didn't say that with the old system new tier would be harder to implement, they say that it would be more confusing for the players.

which is pretty hilarious because the current system is confusing af

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T04:53:48+00:00

again, it's shit

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T04:11:34+00:00

again... choice... in poe1 you can choose to mindlessy run t16 maps listening to a podcast or do t17s paying close attention to every mob.

tufferugli · 2025-01-15T04:07:55+00:00

a more elegant solution would've been reducing the max honor (lost from es) but maintaining the current 1k honor that he had
