I was watching Noel Caldwell-gervais’ essay on diablo, and when it got to diablo 2, I couldn’t help but laugh: he’s playing what’s essentially a zealadin but never actually uses Zeal, he’s just spamming regular attacks LOOOL
And he wasted his imbue on a falchion?? Every knows you need to wait until character lvl 80 and use it on a circlet to get the best chance at getting +skills modifiers.

The Noel Caldwell-Gervais video made diablo 4 seem pretty good… feeling tempted…

Having now played 2 fire emblems, it’s clear to me that fire emblem is, on average, ok

og dragon's dogma didn't really grab me. Ironic

I recently re-bought it on switch (it was like 4 bux) but didn't get past the opening tutorial before doing something else (Chants of sennaar I believe)

If anyone wants extra details, HMU!

Quick diablo 4 question... the oft-discussed noel caldwell-gervais video gave me the impression that it's best to NOT do any of the side quests and exploration during the campaign, because you end up hitting the level cap far too soon, is that accurate? Especially now since i guess there's a special event happening now that increases xp gain by 35% (cannot be toggled off)

Why is everyone so mean to plucky lil Diablo 4

Paying2Lurk posted:

The end of the campaign expects you to be around level 40-45. Level cap is 100 and you won't be hitting that in world tier 1 or 2 no matter what you do. Just do whichever ones are close by or seem fun. As for exploration, the story will take you around most regions.

As i understand it, you can't get past level 50 until you finish the campaign, and apparently this youtuber man reached that way before the end

Ds2 has some major issues…
1. No ragdoll corpses
2. When you pick up an item, it doesn’t show you its inventory icon, it only displays its broad category (e.g. weapon, ring, consumable, etc)
3. Longsword 1-handed strong attack isn’t a thrust

Folks, I’m not really enjoying diablo 4. The dungeons are like 50% too long, the loot is too simple, and i can’t seem to change my char’s hairstyle. Last time I listen to a youtuber’s opinion over a goon’s

honestly the way these devs talk about this poo poo kinda makes me sick lol

life is strange before the storm is not important to the queer community

Well i mean, what ARE the games that are important to the queer community?

Tetris obviously. Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 have to be up there, the latter especially, for their innovation at the very least. It's really amazing to me, and the queer community i'm sure, how nintendo basically nailed 3D platforming controls on their first try.

Let’s say you’re putting together a raid party. You have room for one more rando. You advertize, and get simultaneous responses from these four players. Who do you invite?

1) Zephiroth Gainsboro
2) Gokulord Weedlord
3) Asdf Asdf
4) Thisgame Suks

It's been elden ring month in my house, playing modded co-op elden ring with my brother. It's been "a blast"

Here's imo the neatest, smartest thing the mod we're using (elden ring reforged) does:
After you upgrade a weapon to the maximum possible level for each given upgrade material, that upgrade material immediately becomes available to purchase, allowing your non-main weapons to painlessly keep up

This elden ring mod released a new patch, and part of the changelog:

The Bandai Namco logo in the intro will now have a black background, and use their new corporate design.

That's how progression servers work. I'm pretty sure Everquest has several servers each set to a different expansion on rotation. WoW Classic moving into that direction is a pretty easy call to make.

Doesnt that spread out the playerbase and eventually kill the whole point of an mmo?

Jay Rust
Sep 27, 2011

No I mean, if we have say a WotlK server and a Burning Crusade server going at the same time, doesn’t that effectively cut the vanilla playerbase in half right there

Jay Rust
Sep 27, 2011

Ok i think i understand. So we should assume that there's always going to be enough players per expac server to make it not look like a dead mall.
