The D4 devs are super weird. They always talk as if they’re grudgingly giving in to players’ desire for the game to be more fun and rewarding. “We listened and we’re going to make the rewards from X a little more rewarding.” “We heard you and we’re going to increase the drop rate by 3%” I wonder if working at blizzard just sucks so bad that everyone’s misery is reflected in the game.

Sounds similar to the justifications given at the end of prior WoW expacs for finally changing X to entice people back.

The reason for the gauntlet delay doesn't make sense either. For the ARPG no-lifers (me) the majority of the fun at the start of a season is the race to 100, race to be tops of the leaderboard, etc while people are still figuring out the meta builds. By the time these things drop it's all going to be known so that fun is gone.

It's because they think players have the same allegiance to classes in Diablo that they do in WoW and they'll be mortally offended if it turns out Druids do 4.20% more damage than them, instead of just rolling a Druid for that season.

exquisite tea posted:The game isn't mature or interesting enough to reduce the amount of bullshit. Instead Team D4 should be adding more bullshit. Unfortunately they all come from WoW so they think "keeping damage numbers in line" so that nobody exceeds 6.9% of estimated raid efficiency is an actual priority for an ARPG. yeah this 100%. add bullshit that makes you strong and delete the bugs that make you do like 100,000,000,000 damage on a kind of related note it is utterly inexcusable that the hitboxes on lilith fight are still messed up

I'm glad they're keeping the ladder since I just skipped season 2 when ennui hit. Then PoE ennui hit me too. Good season mechanic, super obnoxious time wasting implementation(rng spawns on quest triggers.) So I could still do a real Druid run or finally the Necro run.

Herstory Begins Now posted:I am dead serious about this: if d4 had released with powerful minion builds the game would've had a flat 2.0 higher user rating this is all I wanted to play in this game leading into launch, and was pretty frustrated to hear that it's bad and it's because asmongold and like 3 other youtube freaks said it was too good at level 25 ?????? in the beta. anyways the only things I'm really looking forward to in this season is seeing some funny clips of trap blow ups in hc, and the next season. maybe the probably funny social media fuckups along the way too

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Does POE have controller support? Would be really cool to play on the handheld PCs It does, I've played a bunch on Steamdeck and it's pretty great. It has the usual obvious shortcomings of playing an arpg with a controller (inventory management), but the actual gameplay is much more fun with a controller than M/KB and works really well

Just a lower bar. Say what you will, I prefer POEs approach of taking huge swings and occasionally missing big (looking at you Kalandria league) over this constant boring and uninteresting inching toward balance the D4 team seems stuck on.

Bear pulverize is 100% based on overpower so I don’t see how bear doesn’t die if they nerf overpower It was already heavily nerfed after their knee jerk bets weekend fixes

Yeah there's no hope for the 99.9% even when it's a weekly leaderboard if you're giving the blasters weeks or a month to prepare. There is only false hope at the start of the season that they should peddle.

Overpower Overpower attacks now gain +1% damage, down from +2%, per 1% of your Base Life you have in Fortify. Overpower attacks now gain +1% damage, down from +2%, per 1% of your Base Life that you have in bonus life above your Base Life. That seems like a 50% nerf

Balance changes don't seem too major butwhatdoiknowaboutanything Overpower change is fine. It's ok if world ending demons die in 2 bonk instead of 1 bonk.

What is this?quote:The Item Power ranges for items dropped by end-game bosses, such as Varshan and Zir, have been decreased for Rare and Legendary Items. Unique Item Power has not been changed. Examples (note that the current range for Unique Items was previously the range for all items): They nerfed boss drops just because?? At least NMD90+ elites will now drop 925 guaranteed but that nerf seems so pointless Jeff Fatwood fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Now I'm thinking ranged Rogue in SC. Some kinda ice and shadow build with the spider buddy going in for melee or just pouring on more status effects could be neat.
