Changes to crafting/drops/etc. that fricked up the economy hugely. Trading is fricked which is how like 99% of people play the game; basically ruined the game for most people since you can't buy any decent gear and decent gear never really drops.
They adjusted some loot mechanics so turbonerd uberjuicers dont have their chaos exalted orb count go up by two dozen every single map they run. Anyone just playing the game not poopsocking and copying their favorite autistic streamer doesnt really feel any difference especially after the couple adjustments this week. Turbonerds are just being insufferable and trying to make everyone as miserable as them, a tale as old as time itself.
>Build game on mountains of loot. >People don't really like all the trash that falls and forces you to use filters. >Let's fricking reduce quantity of ALL loot without changing balance. >No, no, let's make game FRICKING HARDER so everyone has to use exactly same 5 builds even for casual play.
Basically:
bald fricking moron nerfed EVERYTHING in the game except from the mobs, which are turboassrape
and when i say EVERYTHING I mean the loot too. Instead of finding currency by playing you just gotta try and find the mythical loot goblin that drops a gigarillion divines (for the group with 999999999 magic find, you get 1)
magic find doesn't affect currency drops
still applicable though (no one juices maps like the RMT farmers because then they can't run the map to begin with)
It's a good league. Content got massively harder and you die all the time if you have braindamage fetal alcohol syndrome. Which a lot of the morons that leave PoE has. Good gear is harder to come by and RMT parties got fricked.
>tfw my mom loves Diablo Immortal because she loves ARPGs, and DI is really accessible and plays well for a mobile game, not to mention it doesn't have ads or an energy system like 90% of the shit you find on the app store
she doesn't care about anything other than killing monsters for loot and EXP, so she has played it for hundreds of hours and her necro is at paragon 150+ already
people shit on Immortal everywhere I look because of how p2w it is, but just the fact that it makes my mom happy is enough for me to think the game is not that bad, since atleast it's polished and it's probably the first action game I've seen that doesn't feel like absolute shit to play on mobile
honestly, i'm tempted because of the wasd is comfy, but i'm a sucker for cosmetics and bad with not spending on these fricking mobile games so i know i'd be losing money eventually if i played it.
i also originally started with one class, decided i liked the other and all my bonus shit is stuck to the one.
>just the fact that it makes my mom happy is enough for me to think the game is not that bad
Yeah now that'll be another $40,000 straight to Bobby's pockets, mommy's gotta get her next paragon level after all! You can buy your mom the entire Grim Dawn collection for under $30. Hell you can play PoE for free. Nah, Diablo Immortal is good because it makes mommy happy. How about you tell mommy to play an ARPG that's not a disguised gambling sim. Dumb fricking shit.
play mine once i release it
in the meanwhile you can try:
Throne Of Darkness
Grim Dawn
Diablo 1 with the first "The Hell" mod, then try The Hell 2 if you liked it, assuming you played D1 unmodded
Any of the games from Soldak
Median XL for Diablo 2
if you want more indies, try Flare and Beelzebox
you've got two sets of skills: weapon abilities like blocking, reflection shots, splitshot etc. bound to WERTY by default, and a circular spell selection screen you get by pressing Q, which allows you to swap spells on the fly.
you can do things with your mouse but the preferred way to play is by using hotkeys and using mouse for movement.
i don't wanna jump into controller support while it's still developing, though
thanks! its tough with skeleton enemies since they don't spit out blood, so i gotta make a new shader for them instead of just reusing bloodsplatter visuals
Didn't Dungeon Siege 2 feature fun Diabe-girlke mechanics?
Maybe I should give it another go.
yeah, DS2 is good. consider giving DS1 a try as well, it scratches the same itch and i think it's overall more fondly remembered than 2
>soldak
god damn I've tried din's curse, din's legacy, drox operation/2, zombasite
and my god I just cannot into them
they go all in on doing everything (except skill balance) procedurally and it just makes the games tedious and soulless
D3 has a new season happening, so it could keep you entertained for a weekend.
D2R next update might be fun since you'll be able to farm across different areas instead of just running the same places.
Was convinced to try Last Epoch. Definitely see the appeal with how generous it is with loot and different builds that isnt just stack passives and press 1 button.
DS2 is fun. Currently replaying it after 10+ years and I remember almost nothing from my original playthrough so it feels kinda fresh.

Didn't play DS1 but I remember watching Ross's Game Dungeon video on it and it seemed very different from 2. DS2 went more in the standardized ARPG direction while DS1 had elements mixed in from other genres in an interesting way.
How come I can play Diablo 1 and 2 for hours and never get bored and enjoy all the classes and abilities and yet every new game in the genre feels like generic trash to me and I get bored within 20 minutes? Bros, why is D1+2 so good? The future was supposed to take what was made in the past and improve on it, not make gay troony shit that isn't fun.
>How come I can play Diablo 1 and 2 for hours and never get bored and enjoy all the classes and abilities
Because they're good, soulful games that are a complete package and are legit good games in all aspects. Story, music, atmosphere, types of levels are all memorable along with the rpg systems.
>yet every new game in the genre feels like generic trash to me and I get bored within 20 minutes?
Because they're soulless, wiki centered, loot/numbers addiction games with literally nothing to them other than stat optimization autism, and every other aspect of it is shit. They're like gambling games, but you don't win anything, just waste your time. You can spot these types from a mile away because 95% of the convestion on them will be about builds and skills and nothing else. PoE being the peak of this shit mentality.
I had a lot of fun playing PoE when I tried it a few years ago. Never gave a shit about the meta or multiplayer, just played through the game solo trying to make the best build I could to clear each level.
I don't get why people complain about it so autistically
I just want a game where i can crush through hordes of monsters with my own horde of monsters man
I fricking loved Zookeeper necros in D2
Why did Chris have to anally rape minions on top of everything else he did with loot
3 is best. most likely 4 will be best next year
>3 is best
shut up moron
zoom zoom
i'm most likely older than both of you. eh what should i call you, zoom zooms? is that right?
Nice try, zoomie. Go back to your loot boxes and cosmetic DLCs.
i can't imagine any over 30 year old talking like that seriously. ZOOMIE BOOMIE COOMIE !! HAHAH XD YOU ZOOM ZOOM XOOMIE.
just frick off
Triggered zoomzoom is absolutely seething
Zoomie boomie coomie tears are so delicious, Gankerros.
Go away homosexual zoomer. Adults are speaking.
I like 3 too anon. But my hatred for bliz prevents me from playing it.
>just playing d2 forever again?
yea
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
i really want a nethack style game but with modern arpg style real time combat.
Based
All the fun of randomness and character building without any grind
chronicon has been fun
good autism
theres a fork I like, cant remember,
It was fun finding op builds by myself and having a win, hard game
>PoE is dead
Chris Wilson would have to shut down the servers for 6 months for PoE to be more dead than any Diablo game is at the moment.
What are you really looking for? A gambling machine?
There are other ways to satiate that addiction you know.
Why are PoEgays so pissed? Can I get a qrd
it's league start week so people logging in, getting bored and doomposting
Bald fricking moron fricking up again
pls go meth
Changes to crafting/drops/etc. that fricked up the economy hugely. Trading is fricked which is how like 99% of people play the game; basically ruined the game for most people since you can't buy any decent gear and decent gear never really drops.
They reduced loot by 4000% percent lol
Then they buffed it by a few hundred after people noticed
They adjusted some loot mechanics so turbonerd uberjuicers dont have their chaos exalted orb count go up by two dozen every single map they run. Anyone just playing the game not poopsocking and copying their favorite autistic streamer doesnt really feel any difference especially after the couple adjustments this week. Turbonerds are just being insufferable and trying to make everyone as miserable as them, a tale as old as time itself.
I hope bald fat moron sees this bro.
You have been permanently banned from Path of Exile
>Build game on mountains of loot.
>People don't really like all the trash that falls and forces you to use filters.

magic find doesn't affect currency drops
still applicable though (no one juices maps like the RMT farmers because then they can't run the map to begin with)
Magic find now affects currency items getting upgraded to rarer ones from the archnemesis loot conversion -touched mods.
League mechanics seem complete garbage.
It's a good league. Content got massively harder and you die all the time if you have braindamage fetal alcohol syndrome. Which a lot of the morons that leave PoE has. Good gear is harder to come by and RMT parties got fricked.
Very very good league.
>Everyone who plays this game is a moron
>BUT NOT ME
Yeah ok reddit spacing troony.
manchildren got triggered
Grim dawn is pretty good, i would check that game out.
I might have kept playing it because of mods, but it's fricking brown and ugly.
the genre is shallow. I'd just move on.
Chris is trying to recreate d2, but d2 is already balances for d2. So play d2
>tfw my mom loves Diablo Immortal because she loves ARPGs, and DI is really accessible and plays well for a mobile game, not to mention it doesn't have ads or an energy system like 90% of the shit you find on the app store

I'm happy for you and your mom.

Does it have controller support?
not yet, i'm still ways away from release
are you planning to give it multiple skill bindings or is it mouse only?
you've got two sets of skills: weapon abilities like blocking, reflection shots, splitshot etc. bound to WERTY by default, and a circular spell selection screen you get by pressing Q, which allows you to swap spells on the fly.
you can do things with your mouse but the preferred way to play is by using hotkeys and using mouse for movement.
i don't wanna jump into controller support while it's still developing, though
looks cozy my dude
game needs some kinda on-hit feedback though like sparks and lights and maybe hitstun if you wanna be that guy to add some crunch
thanks! its tough with skeleton enemies since they don't spit out blood, so i gotta make a new shader for them instead of just reusing bloodsplatter visuals
yeah, DS2 is good. consider giving DS1 a try as well, it scratches the same itch and i think it's overall more fondly remembered than 2
Played 1, was fun, but never finished it.
But it didn't have the same kind of random loot, right?
damn thats a really good start good job man
>soldak
god damn I've tried din's curse, din's legacy, drox operation/2, zombasite
and my god I just cannot into them

>PoE dead
What happened?
Same thing that happens every 3 months. A nerf to some builds / loot / league mechanics -> game is dead!!!!!!
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3300117
Was convinced to try Last Epoch. Definitely see the appeal with how generous it is with loot and different builds that isnt just stack passives and press 1 button.
If you ever get hungry for D2 again, play Project Diablo 2. It's D2 but with actual game balance and some added content. D2R is trash
Ahem
No I'm not kidding
Is it worth getting into now, especially on singleplayer?
I've only played single player or with one friend in the same room. Yes
Didn't Dungeon Siege 2 feature fun Diabe-girlke mechanics?
Maybe I should give it another go.
DS2 is fun. Currently replaying it after 10+ years and I remember almost nothing from my original playthrough so it feels kinda fresh.

>Since PoE is dead
power over ethernet is still a very common standard you dumb shit
Nioh 2
Dead?
What about torchlight? Wasn't that quite good?
First one was good. Second one was great. Haven't played the third.
Fun for a few playthroughs but doesn't have as much replayability as other games in the genre
Any game that Totalbiscuit (god rest his soul) liked is guaranteed to be garbage and vice versa. Hence torchlight is trash and diablo 3 is good
If you're tired of 2, and POE doesn't reverse it's scorched-earth against their bullshit loot nerf, then probably Diablo3 until 4?
D3 is alright in seasonal mode with some friends. It kinda sucks after 2 or 3 seasons though.
I don't get Path of Exile.
If I want to play a Diablo-clone I'd rather play Torchlight 2, Titan Quest AE, or Grim Dawn.
If I want a game with a numbing endless grind of incremental improvements I'd rather play Dungeon Fighter Online.

nioh games
why have shitty isometric lawnmower gameplay when you can have real action gameplay AND gear autism in the same place
>Susano
At least it's gameplay and not kunai/magic spam
Should I play nioh 1 before nioh 2?
Yes. 1 is pretty good game and worth playing. Don't let 2gays tell you to not play it.
I just want a game where i can crush through hordes of monsters with my own horde of monsters man
I fricking loved Zookeeper necros in D2
Why did Chris have to anally rape minions on top of everything else he did with loot
what's wrong with just lowering the tiers of maps you run if your minions or you are dying in guber juiced t16s or whatever?
If you can't afford $0.99 you shouldn't be playing vidya, you should be making some fricking money poorgay
>$0.99 for jack shit
Fricking Cookie Run gives you at least a 10x for that price and both Kingdom and OB get super israelitey if you want to rank.
