Yea, it's baffling why they ever made it so you couldn't pick your Mastery until you had like 10 Passive points beyond the 20 needed to spec into your Mastery passives.

The trick is to have a second game open so you can go play a round of starcraft or whatever while you wait for the burning forest to load.

I much prefer it how it is now, where I was one passive point short of even being able to start speccing into my falcon when I unlocked mastery.

They should just start at end-game and fill the open world with optional quests and events that tell the story/lore for those that want to dive into it. pls dont retrofit well worn and respected arpg traditions into "live service game" im going to scream

Yeah, right now if you're fine playing solo there is actually literally no reason to play online. Eventually there'll be PoE-esque leagues with new mechanics and stuff that won't be available offline, but right now it's the same either way. The only thing you miss out on are grouping and trading. And as a side benefit, if you accidentally walk through an area transition as you realize you left a unique/set/exalted item on the ground, you don't lose the item offline. Online, once you leave a zone, it's gone. Offline, the enemies reset but the item drops stay on the ground.

Real shame to see this game get review-bombed over a lovely online server launch, when it's the only other ARPG in the genre really pushing the genre forward (PoE being the other). The monetization is totally fine to the point no one even discusses it, the trade factions are excellent and actually made PoE2 have "buy it now", the game does away with a lot of annoyance from other market leaders (inventory management isn't a chore, stash tabs are plentiful, loot filtering is easy and baked in, the in-game help system is awesome), the game has a nice balance of "you're making some character choices" while still encouraging experimenting, and just on and on. There's also a good bit of new stuff since I last played - this "weaver" stuff and experimental items are new to me. And I just used the in-game help to learn what they were. I feel empathy for the dev team who I'm sure are beyond stressed and working like mad, just for Grr Angry Internet to poo poo all over it because it has a few days of rough spots from technical issues. xZAOx fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Yeah it sucks particularly considering they're like the only ARPG to offer an absolutely full featured, totally offline mode in a very long time.Zurai posted:Eventually there'll be PoE-esque leagues with new mechanics and stuff that won't be available offline Not even, they've said Cycles will be available offline. The one thing they've mentioned is that some special challenge bosses won't be available offline until after they are killed online (to prevent datamining of kill strategies), but even that is just a delayed release for offline. The only thing you lose by being offline are cosmetics (will probably be able to mod them in anyway if you really care) and of course any player interactions such as trading and partying.

People are giving negative reviews for the game they bought and can't play the way they want to a day after it came out, I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. Yeah there's definitely people who are 100% way too upset about this after a day who are talking out their rear end about lazy devs or whatever but warning potential buyers that the multiplayer of this game is currently nonfunctional with a thumbs down is sort of the reason you have steam reviews. It'll even out over time once they sort the backend server poo poo out.

the cof benefits are actually pretty wild, but the amount of favor required to get to the upper levels make it deserving of it. I made it to level 5 before logging off for the day, and the favor required to get to level 6 is more than twice as much as all the previous levels combined. that's been the trend for each level, and if it continues, I don't see very many people even getting to level 8. from my testing, it doesn't appear that higher corruption rewards more favor, but the level does. I'm predicting it'll take about 75 or so maps to go from 5 to 6, which only will take ~2.5 hours on a speed farming build, hopefully the bazaar is like 1/4th is grindy as cof, because frankly, I can't see how bazaar could possibly compete with cof tier for tier.

at some point people have to learn that online games at launch arent going to function properly, and the fact its been happening for 2 decades across tons of genres and devs should indicate it isnt something any specific title has hosed up so dumping reviews every time it happens multiple times a year means you have the reasoning capacity of some sort of slug or snail tier of creature.

Gamers being complete degens and functionally ddosing the game because they want to speedrun a brand new arpg on Wednesday at noon just sure feels like a self fulfilling prophecy of server problems and exactly what they were probably trying to avoid with a Wednesday release lol. I just don't see the point in review bombing something because you can't play for some hours out of the potential hundreds you plan to sink over various seasons. Anyways falconer owns. The bird is so well animated and hits that class fantasy of wow survival hunter better than wow.

It's just weird to categorize people who play video games on a week night as degenerates, is all. The game's been getting more players and is steadily working better so I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually, although multiplayer wasn't exactly flawless at 10k people before the launch either.

Sure but it's clearly not just EU players here lol. For most of the rest of the world this was degen hours. Anyways afaik they rewrote a lot of the netcode between the beta and 1.0 which is why it took a year. Sucks that whatever matchmaking service they have is failing though I'm not sure why they made the game have to do that for each specific campaign zone rather than on a per chapter basis or something

I've been lucky I guess. After the first 4 hours yesterday when everything was down, I've been able to play with only very minor hiccups. Hit empowered monos before going to bed and I got two error messages when I logged on an hour ago but otherwise no problems. Just dropped the flame whip unique for warlock and I'm cruising. Warlock feels amazing, you get to be the caster class with actually cool spells and you don't have to care about death seal being up or down.
