Suburban Dad posted:I've tried POE several times and I just can't understand how the gently caress to make characters stronger in that game. There's too many mechanics. Even following a build if I don't have some key piece of gear or have run the lab (these are loving awful and not fun) it seems my characters are poo poo. I get sick of playing games where I need a wiki and several tabs up to figure out how to play. Play time: 271 hours, lol. My PoE playtime is probably 4-5000 hours but my D3 playtime is probably a tenth of that lol! If D2 recorded playtime, well let's just say I spent pretty much my entire life from 2002 to 2008 playing it...

This Inna’s Cyclone water build is so cool. Using Epiphany to just blink through the whole rift in 90 seconds while everything just dissolves like tissue paper in acid is loving sweet. Having way more fun with this monk than I was expecting.

I don't think you need approved or anything. Dunno how many folks are currently playing still though. Drops off pretty quick after season start. You are playing PC right? I don't think it's a thing on console.

I know I am just a early season type player but hearing people clear GRs 100+ in 2 or 3 minutes seems nuts. Just seeing people with fire ally zooming around, I don't get how they move so fast.

The game hasn't changed much in years and the people who've stuck around have gotten very efficient at the game. Plus, with GRs being capped at 150, speed runs at 2-3 minutes will slowly climb to higher and higher GRs as the seasonal multipliers keep rising. I think they should do 1 season a year where they just put all the prior seasonal themes together at once and just let poo poo go nuts. Make it a short season if necessary, but I'd love to have ethereals, soul shards, 4 kanai slots, kill streak multipliers, etc. all at once. There's a whole lot of ranking lists to populate anyway, let players have all the fun.

It's really the buffs that help casual players like me. Now, I have no idea how I'll even get near 150, but I'm sure going to try this season.

I don’t think we’ll ever get to the point where D3 no longer has seasons but is still operational. They’ll sell it to one of the companies that shepherds ancient games like Everquest into the twilight and just put the 30 whatever seasons on rotation for eternity.

Still hoping for my Season of the Nemesis idea where shrines and pylons automatically spawn elites and every action in the game also has a small chance of spawning elites. The grief would be incredible.

It's literally just one item, either in cube or in hand, that removes cooldowns from your teleport and you can zap around from elite pack to the next one and never stop. Of course often paired with +movement speed stuff, nemesis bracers and other good stuff. The sets are good enough to provide most of the killing power anyway. Many players make the mistake of copying the slow GR push builds from the leaderboards or websites instead of finding the proper speed GR build which you should be playing for 90% of the season.

I took the GR push build for WW barb from Icy Veins and just switched out Little Rogue/Slanderer for the WW weapon set. Felt like the best of both worlds. Little squishy but it has insane speed

This is a very very very very important point and is up there with people who complain about a build sucking and you come to find out they have like 3/10ths of the build in place across gear a break points. Unless you plan on pushing your absolute max potential GR, you should basically always be using the solo or group speed variant of builds. Some builds will have even further specialization with speed neph, speed gr, and speed bounty variants as well as group versions of each of those if you really really wanted to squeeze everything you can out of the play style. But just having at least one core speed variant should be your first priority.

Most of the time a build’s push/speed variants won’t be that radically different. The problem most D3 newcomers encounter is copying whatever they see on icyveins or maxroll without really understanding how all the requisite skills/items come together so you get the equivalent of the youtube recipe comments section where people are like “I substituted Nagelring for a Compass Rose and now everything tastes terrible, 1/10.”

There usually is just a few pieces or gear swapped out and a skill or two, but that will make all the difference between super saiyan blinking around the map while everything explodes and moving at run speed while anything that gets close instantly melts or being resource starved because nothing lives long enough. Though generally if you understand the mechanics of the build/gear to your point, they'll know enough to pickup the speed variants where appropriate.

I don’t think Blizzard would ever sell the license, but I do think that Blizzard could easily lease the Diablo 3 game client to the same publisher that keeps the lights on for Everquest or Planescape and just leave the servers on forever

They didn't do that with D2 or any of their other IPs. I'd normally say you're hilariously wrong but if Activision finishes the take over who knows what they'll do to make a buck.

D3 is the one Blizzard IP that isn't totally on fire at the moment, they should let the one intern they have designing the seasons stay on in perpetuity in a sealed bunker away from any would-be harassers.

Curses! is one of my go to conquests on PC, but it’s essentially impossible on Switch. I did the set dungeons this season as my third, and with a Gem of Ease it wasn’t bad. All of the necromancer set dungeons are extremely easy, if you are wondering about a second class to try with.

Bust Rodd posted:The transmog for the Soul Stone headpiece is very cool It's my default head transmog. Also the whole thing is centered around a custom 16 level GR that recreates D1 and the zone has a retro screen filter and sfx. I usually do it at least once a year just to listen to the gold drop sound. Shame all the gear that drops is blue/yellow. I'd love to make a Godly Plate of the Whale build or at least have it be a unique transmog.

Diablo 1 is like trying to play video games through syrup and sandpaper, just trash, IMO e: trash with legendary sound design and art direction that would change the face of gaming forever, but still trash.

I dunno. I played the GoG D1 a while ago and thought it held up pretty well, considering. IMO, pre-hotbar D2R is basically as clunky as D1 is, it's just faster because running and teleport.
