Cette discussion est vraiment captivante ! C’est comme plonger dans un bassin de connaissances et de sagesse.🔥

phantasy star online is the peak of arpgs

donkey kong country 2 is so goated

TIL you can’t refund a preorder if you’ve used any instant access bonus items from that preorder for 2 hours or more.

I think the discourse comparing Diablo devs vs PoE devs is ridiculous. I think D4 has a lot of issues, but most of that is not the devs/design team. The real issue is the difference between an independent studio and a corporate one. As a developer for a software company, I can tell you that everything our development teams do has to be apprived and budgeted ahead of time. If we come up with a feature, we have to get everything defined not only in terms of the feature, but what is the cost/benefit analysis. Is it required, is it nice to have, will it improve our client's goodwill. How will it hurt the company if we don't? Is there a legal/compliance reason for it? How does it affect our other lines of business? Does it affect any of our current contracts? It then has to be approved by a group of people, some of them having no idea how, what, or why the feature makes sense or is useful. For PoE, you can see Jonathan Rogers makes whatever decisions based on his passion and ideas about the game. Yes he has to think about many of the same things, but he's not removed from the game and can make the decisions on the spot. He doesn't have to answer to anyone but the players. The Diablo team is much different. They have to answer to executives honed in only on improving company growth and stakeholder expectations. So, instead of the developers deciding what they want, everything idea they come up With has to go through the corporate overlords. This is one of the reasons why change takes so long in D4. It's also the reason why D4 is half-baked. It's why the mechanics are so shallow. It's why the store is the developed feature. The only reason they've made changes so far is the pressure of social media via streamers. These streamers push players away even if they are casuals. They create a negative tone online. If the streamers were casuals, Diablo would still be the same as launch, but with more store options. So give the D4 teams a break and tell Microsoft to change the Activision leadership and design flow.

Since when did Llama stop playing D2?

definitely gonna play a minion witch

Hey guy. If you dont like it then stop playing it and stop bitching.

poggers interview. poe 2 hype.

F** Minions

Melee man seems so useless lol

Is this going to be free like the first one?

Do we know if the penalty to resistances are gonna be also in poe2 campaign?

Game discussion at the end could've gone on for hours. Great show guys <3

Loot filter?

No Heroes of Might and Magic 3 enjoyers? (also beautiful music)

1 portal end game is a stupid idea... kinda. They should scale down how many portals you get by difficulty. The harder/more late game the content is the fewer tries you get. If ANY of my friends play poe2 and get 1 life on a map, die and fail early in maps theyll quit the game forever. 100% guaranteed

I feel like anytime Pohx appears on video, he should have a red ring of fire around him.

Thanks!

Why is Mrllamasc in this? He'll only play PoE 2 for 2 days then go back to Diablo 2

So i await worse things. +1 reason to wait PoE2

I hope poe2 will be easy to learn and hard to master.

Darth explaining why he likes D4 made me realize why I don’t particularly like him 😂

I think D4 S4 still sucks because the skills and builds are just boring as fuck.

This chicks mic sucks ass. Someone donate her a better one.

Genuinely hope that poe2 will cross this gap between modern and old school arpgs and games in general, where now you hurry to the endgame to play and previously the whole journey mattered way more than your rune/fragment farming routine after. It unnecessary to be just one, we definitely can have two at the same time and looks like ggg seeing it the same way.

Oh hell yeah Morrowind! I was literally thinking this in my head. People who started at Skyrim or even Oblivion don’t realize what they’re missing.

One portal is also prone to DCs, and I don't think game can realistically tell the difference between genuine issues on client side and someone just unplugging their cord from their PC. If they wanna limit corpse rushing dying to a boss might just cost more than 1 portal, but that might be hard to explain/justify to players

My only thing with this conversation is how they all seem to try and project that Poe is a perfect or the best arpg because objectively looking at the top played in the genre it has a lot of problems. I’ve played thousands of hours in most of these ARPG’s and played poe2 and I am impressed but there are also a ton of worries and design choices that other games have made that have been overwhelmingly hated. Diablo 4 isn’t perfect, torch light isn’t perfect, Diablo 2 is far from perfect and the list goes on but they all do something better than the rest and have their niches. Not sure why this mentality of, this game is just better than the rest and because of that every other game is trash is so prevelent among content creators. Sad to hear and see to be honest.

i don't really like LE corruption system and that fact u have to do a few thing before u get to bosses the key bosses. i hate the fact like lets say u want to combine LP you need to go there go through the annoying maze get to the boss and if u die u have to re do the boring beginning bit. just make it so if i use a key i go straight to the boss fight

Imaple basically records the damage of the hit that applied it, then deals 10% of the damage on the next 5 hits. So if I do 100 dmg and impale, my next hit will deal an additional 10dmg.

4 humans and 1 floating head

I agree with Velayna about clarifying stuff. I've argued with people who have played tbousands of hours and still don't know certain mechanics like ele/chaos pen do not affect damage ocer time.

Something else about the one support gem oer skill thing, it also helps balance skill power since every skill can be six linked now. If you could just have 12 skills all with 6l, it would be kind of busted. Now you actually have to decide what supports go best with which skills.

cool

almost 2h of yapping, and I fucking love it. Great to have MrLlama here as well!

Regarding the complexity of the descriptions of skills, I definitely think the video will help. But also I'm always a bit perplexed how in poe1, the skill description at the top of the tooltip and the detailed info further down, aren't more clearly separated. I think the top part should describe what the skill does, and then the bottom part should have the step by step detail of what happens and the numbers. At the moment the bottom part is often in a weird order that makes it hard to understand, and they have weird things like "minions do 25% more damage" instead of "minions FROM THIS SKILL do 25% more damage"

They can probably get an intern to cull down the word count on the explanations. Start off with the most descriptive version, then cull down the words while still retaining the contents. Then structure it somewhat like "what does it achieve?" "ranges" "how does it achieve it"

I think its brilliant that a career gamer is finaly making his own.

I hope they make it so end game bosses are infiniite "portals" except the boss resets when you leave the instance, similar to how it works in the campaign. So you can take as long as you need to learn the fight but ultimately to win you have to be able to 1 shot it and cant cheese.
