Diablo 3 doesn't have do the swarms-of-minions thing with the new necromancer either. Does PoE have a build for that kind of thing? Does any other game?

D3 actually kinda does, in fact two of the best end-game Necromancer builds have you rolling around with 7 skeletons and then between 5 and like...20 skeleton mages depending on resources at the time.

And maybe a Golem for funsies but the Golem is kinda crap at cap.

Haven't played Diablo either, but Summoner Doom used to be easy mode. No idea what it's like in the Brave New World.

If you want to play d2 necro then you should try starcraft. I heard the latter's micro is comparable to the former.

If you like easy, open world games with bright colors and pretty princessing, I will plug guild wars 2 here. New xpac just announced, this time with afros, dreadlocks, and fancy arabian themed clothes.

They do. If it's pure quantity of minions that matters the WD is superior, although in practice the necro outperforms him so hard it's not even funny.

I do play StarCraft quite a bit but uh... No it's not comparable, though Stukov in co-op is pretty good.

If I have the game an unfair assessment of the Big Bang.
Don't break the tables on the other content is heavily outdated too and it took us a road map of what's to come out next week.
Wise decision said the devs and is basically the 13th char for the Cow King.

Enjoy dousing your hot dog with ketchup, or eating it with a knife and a fork? You philistine. According to one American meat trade association’s official etiquette guide for hot dog-eating (yes, this actually exists), it’s tacky to top your frank with the red sauce if you’re over 18 years old, and pretentious to consume it with utensils.

The Marvel thread is leaking. Also you should put ketchup and mustard on Hotdogs, and if the ketchup drowns out your mustard, put more mustard on or get a brain scan.

I had never played this game but downloaded it on PS4 as a whim and it's actually a fun time waster and has way more charm/character than I thought it would.

I picked Spiderman and got him to 10 and I have like 250 shards and he takes 750 to unlock wtf? I can only afford some dumb heroes. Who are also level 1. Is the OP still correct that on day 2 I get some item that lets me buy a hero? I had enough fun playing to drop 5$ to unlock Spidey but will wait a day if that's still the case.

Path of Exile has officially launched 3.0 with 6 new acts and the return of tons of goons.

A good chunk of us are trying it for the first time or returning or simply excited to get back in and play the game together.

What I'm saying is come and check it out with us, even if you wrote it off before. This is basically their Biggest Update Ever and it looks like a great time for any ARPG lover.

We can all be great or suck together. Join the discord ramadu posted above if you want to connect with us or find a way to say hi in game! :)

And to not be a total derail (apologies), play this too. It's a game.

Console version is a little different. There are not any check-in/login rewards, you only get eternity splinters after completing the raft tutorial mission the first time. IIRC, you don't actually get enough free splinters to buy any one on console. So other than randomly getting splinters through playing or buying the character outright, there is no other way to unlock the more expensive characters.

I can gladly provide a rocket raccoon summoner build in poe to assist with transition

Seriously though it's worthwhile to confirm poe isn't your thing again if it was a while since you logged in last. Lots of qol improvements and the game is friendlier if you just want to get your arpg on.

If you don't like planning poo poo there are plenty of goons who will sperg a build together for you.

PoE ruled last night. I had such a great time. I was definitely having some nostalgia from the early days of MH, which was great. And I learned David Brevik is a playable character (Mr 69s character reminds me of Brevik. Wears no pants and has a grizzly beard and walks 'backwards'). Highly recommended with the changes.

This'll sound stupid but the game feels like a 2017 game now. Graphics updated very noticeably, systems are in place to smoothen up the grind and more importantly, a ton of players right now diving into the game together.

Me and Mr 69 and Rockbear dove in last night and had a blast. It's different than years ago and if you didn't like it before, try it one last time.

Sterling, Virginia or somewhere else? Not familiar with Stirling but I will drive any distance to knock around Wolverine's steel balls.

Also I finally got around to getting Carnage to red 60 (with the sound off of course.) I don't much care for him at all but it's nice to have menial tasks to do in game for cheevo points.

Edit: vv fine I'll take the Blackbird and stop in on Moira MacTaggart.
