I think a lot of the problem people have with PoE is they pick the wrong build starting out. So, the early game becomes a slog that turns people off.

The key is to pick something that doesn't require expensive items to be good (e.g. something that says
good league starter), so like certain spell based builds tend to be powerful early on and scale well as you get better items.

In past leagues, I tried melee builds or other builds that weren't good league starters and I ended up stopping by the time I got to maps because I was killing stuff too slowly and wasn't having fun.

I am copying a glacial cascade build this league and it is like playing Iceman, just minus the witty voice lines and way more satisfying since I can blow up a screen full of mobs by pressing two buttons, despite still wearing mediocre items.

i have not posted anything of value in years and this forum still returns value. near marvel heroes level ratios.

but no for real poe is one of the least enjoyable argps i've ever played and it is a shame because they do a good job with the numbers. i genuinely do not like playing the game at all. if they took, for instance, titan's quest and gave it a poe level depth to itemization i'd play that.

did you do atziri? Uber Atziri? Shaper? Uber lab? The boss for the current league? I agree just grinding maps endless can be boring. But those things I listed change it up. Also figuring out your own builds is fun as well to some people. You said you did 4 different good builds so I assume you used guides so maybe try to come up with your own build if you ever go back. They also changed up the atlas end game this league to where you have to do all kinds of maps to stop the aids spreading on your map to fight shaper or elder and his guardians. It's pretty cool!

The only thing future fight and poe have in common is they regularly release new content. Something this garbage gently caress game you vehemently defend stooped doing a year ago before it was killed off.

why could have? Now that the movie rights will be back with the mother ship won't we see them in movies and games more? They only hated on xmen because they didn't have the rights to xmen movies and thus were not making money off of it. Or that's how I understood it. Thought it was just a goon thing saying that marvel actually hates xmen.

I've heard the argument about Marvel being pissy about Fox not selling back the movie rights on Xmen going around with others who aren't on the forums. I don't know how much of it's legit, but I've heard some pretty good reasoning for it.

As far as this dead game goes, total of something like 300 hours in with about $80 spent. I mostly stuck with Taskmaster (recommended by you guys and was a blast to play), Ghost Rider, Gambit, Blade and Dr. Strange. I had Colossus, Storm, Cable, Iron Man,and X-23 but didn't really do much wiht them. Never did cosmic. I had fun, but now it's back to Champions Online for my superhero fix with maybe some dabbling in Freedom Force.

this avatar was a gift from a secret admirer, i am a wrestling hipster who only watches the cute japanese boys ;x

and nah i never got to the highest level stuff in poe. the builds i got to the maps level were a totems thing (big smashy hammers totem), a flicker strike guy, and an essence drain witch. it was not just about the lack of need to adapt, it was that i did not find those methods of play fun. i have not yet found a method of play in that game enjoyable.

the problem i am communicating is that the combination the presentation and gameplay make me find the actual "playing the game" part of poe hell of boring. i really wish i didn't cause once you get deep into item builds, you can do some interesting stuff.

Yeah but it'll be a balancing act. With Deadpool you gotta just make it R, but with Logan I can see how they could have influenced that to get down to a PG-13 rating to maximize profits if it had been under the Disney umbrella. Especially if they try to bring Logan back to his 90's popularity levels. For all we know they could end up shoehorning him into the Avengers one day like the comics did.

The stupid thing about the whole mess is that they supposedly didn't want to give "free advertising" to Fox. But comic books are looking at tens of thousands of readers on a good day. Films are being watched in the tens of millions. There is no way shelving the Xmen was ever going to make a dent.

In the end, they shot themselves in the foot by missing out on possible comic book sales that those movies would have motivated people to buy. They gutted what should have been a runaway success in the form of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite by removing iconic staples of the franchise like Wolverine, Storm, Magneto and Dr. Doom, expecting guys like Antman, Black Widow and Winter Soldier to somehow make up for it.

They pushed to make an Inhumans film that nobody wanted so hard it got bumped down to TV series that will never go beyond the one lovely season they managed to get out the door. Thus producing the one undeniable failure in the Marvel cinematic universe so far. On top of suggesting such a tone deaf understanding of what made the Xmen a success, it only served to make their pettiness all the more obvious and childish. The Inhumans have been sidelined in the comic books for decades for a reason.

The whole thing has been so petty and dumb that Marvel only hurt itself in it's own confusion.

It's a real missed opportunity that they never gave Wolverine a "PG Violence" tree focused on slicing up the enemy's laser blaster and then tackling them.

From what I heard through screenwriter friends, essentially Fox was amenable to selling Xmen back but were asking a pretty big chunk of cheese for it which makes sense with how much the Marvel films bring in along with how well the Xmen films have done for Fox compared to Fantastic Four and the later Spiderman ones, and Marvel pitched a fit even though they could easily make the money back and more once they start cranking out Xmen films. Marvel's treatment of the Xmen in the comics when you look at how they were pretty much they were giving the Stalin photoshopping treatment to Fantastic Four just comes across as well, being pissy.
