AggressivelyStupid posted:Chris Wilson asked gdc to release his talk early which is pretty cool, "played for 20-30 thousand hours over the average lifespan of the user"........... "path of exile tries very hard so that class doesn't matter that much"  This video is actually pretty good to watch to get an idea how the game has changed. Showing all the leagues in order. I had read some of the stuff in the games was a league but I was like "darkshrines the one thing in lab?". Hey I'm only trying to kill synthesis bosses while not being hit because your making me! Don't pretend I asked for this! The entire bit about changing the best builds so people try another build for a league is literally the reason Diablo 3 arbitrarily changes the sets to be better than the others. It's also strange to see his head move when he talks. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Apr 6, 2019 |

Class doesn’t matter much over 3-4 patches. I guess.

He's still pretty much right in that you don't generally think "I want to play a witch", you think "I want to play with Bane and Soulrend, so I guess I'm going Occultist" Basically how instead of being based on class, builds are based around skills which are much more numerous so there's more reason to play another witch and be player retented.

I asked in the PS4 thread but didn’t get many replies. I played too much D3 over the years and I’m feeling the itch. How is the PS4 port?

Ive been playing casually since it came out on PS4. It's solid. Basically exactly the same as the pc version, but inventory management is a bit annoying without a mouse, that's my only complaint so far.

Compared to pc the major differences are: waaaaay slower load times on console, the trade system (and economy) on console sucks so hard, you can't pick up items in combat, and you wouldnt want to play any build that requires finesse aiming. It's acceptable, and free, but you should never play on console if you have a PC imo.

Also, the original Darkshrines if I remember correctly were a mix of the current sacrifice mechanic with Shrines from Diablo 1 which could give you very unpredictable and sometimes negative effects. I think the idea of scrapping the original iteration and just porting them as hidden Lab buffs was a pretty good idea. Draxion posted:He really gave Kripp a lot of credit, I always forget he used to be The Guy for ARPGs. That talk is a good reference for whenever people talk about devs like they're Gods and can't possibly be consulting players who are not pros, or that it's just a facade. When you're too busy developing something you might lose sight of stuff. Kripp is one of the best players to get feedback from that I can think, he has an excellent intuition and is very fast to reach the highest levels of any game. He then typically falls behind after that, because he either can't keep up or don't think the diminishing returns are worth his time, but his intuition is top notch and unlike a lot of good players he can turn his perception of the game into words. He's also very good at figuring out how to mix mechanics and find bugs/exploits (which he often gets in trouble for  ) and a player like that is absurdly invaluable to have for QA.I imagine he does a huge amount of math behind the scenes. It wouldn't be surprise me if Alkaizer did the same, although Kripp appears to be much more enthusiastic about offering his insights/suggestions/talking to devs. Elentor fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Apr 6, 2019 |

Just look at this list of the old Labyrinth Darkshrines. That's a great way to make sure basically no one dares click on them.

I really like fossils. It looks like I don't even have many now that I moved them to another stash. I might have found a way to make the memory nexus more fun for me. I no longer try to kill anything and just leave the reward memories after I activate them. Was able to clear out my memory fragments in 20m instead of an hour.

AggressivelyStupid posted:Chris Wilson asked gdc to release his talk early which is pretty cool, this is fascinating I was wondering why I stopped playing the game, I was a huge PoE whale from Prophecy to Delve (now I play Warframe), but I didn't have a concrete way to express why but Chris clearly lays it out, PoE just got lucky (in the case of Betrayal literally only RNG kept me playing for more than a week), because I am not one of the player groups they market and design to and I am a tiny minority, too, nobody save a few posters here had the same problems with Synthesis, all the fixes and patches this league are meaningless to me, so I guess it was inevetable and also pointless to try to correct

Challenges don't need you to collect any rewards and alot are a waste of time. I'm not trying to load up memories with memory modifiers because I'm pretty much just using them to blitz towards clearing the poo poo up. So my memories arn't getting alot of use out of them. Going to see how it hurts my t16 map drops, chisels, and sextants drops. If I can just speed up the boring parts of the memory nexus it wouldn't bother me.

Would anyone mind checking my tectonic jugg gear? I feel like I'm way under on HP at 5579. My loreweave is straight trash and I'm considering doing a couple dozen divines on it and then 30% quality beastcraft, but I don't know what my first priority should be. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/idiotloser

Save up for a better loreweave, buy it, and then sell your old one. I threw like 12 divines in my first loreweave and was still wanting. Then I just saved up and bought a better one and sold my old one for like one ex less than what I paid for the better. Your still has pretty good stats.

For storm brand, is there anything in particular I should be looking for in jewels beyond typical +% life, lightning/ele damage, cast speed, etc.? Are those even the things I should be looking for? I'm moderately geared up, start to run into problems on T14+ if I'm getting lazy or sloppy, but then I am still running a Tabula and trash weapon, so I'm not too worried yet, I just don't know what the ideal is for jewels in the endgame.

If the game is balanced around having 75% resists why do they allow monsters to penetrate your resists?
