I actually like the skill gem system a ton
I hate it, I want to level up and learn skills. Shit really turned me off to the game
im buying d2 cuz its a classic game ive always wanted to play
if i like it i will play poe2
the idea of "picking a build and blasting" doesnt appeal to me + im playing cs a lot so this is a second game at most for me
why are you being hostile that i'm not playing the way you enjoy, makes no sense
i have no idea what this "all of it" is you're referring to
you seem genuinely upset that i dont want to play poe, lmao
you give me advice like you're being nice or something then flame me if I don't immediately do it??? lmao
like no you're not speaking spanish I just don't want to play your favourite video game
jesus christ you fucking weirdo
this is why nobody likes you
do me a favour and dont talk to me ever again
i've honestly never seen a more pretentious unlikable person before
what a weird fucking post
do you have a parasocial relationship with the game or something?
the fact your kneejerk reaction is to be hostile is just amazing
what a truly garbage person you are. you truly have zero redeeming qualities. it's unreal. I've spent years trying to be nice to you, and this is how you type
like me when I was 16 flaming people who played LoL
aren't you fucking thirty or something 'mans' ??
what the fucj
how do you have the social skills of a fucking 19 year old girl with borderline personality disorder, just lashing out in the most bizarre and unpredictable ways
yea I would rather play a FINISHED PRODUCT from 1998 than a game from 2010 than has been updated and had systems added to it for FOURTEEN YEARS
are you stupid?? you can't understand this? are you genuinely incapable of understanding any perspective but your own? what a fucking limiting way to go through life
interesting that this genre has this reputation of having the most autistic unbearable fanbase, second only to smash
and the minute I interact with it I have jdances and lbjs interacting with me
hm..
also srent you a smash fan too lbj? LMAO hahahahahaha it's too perfect
btw poe is installed on my computer i've already tried it
moron
Crazy person alert
looks good
Finally read the article
Sorry for off topic
It is basically NMA's worst fear of a Video Game Psychologist discussing extensively how to farm people for engagement and money
I'm also having this thing where I get annoyed reading recently if the person spends a long time pontificating aimlessly on something I already know/understand.
There's one interesting point about the way these people are thinking these days - balance is not really a goal (or the aim of balancing is not to create a balanced game). They always want there to be things that are slightly stronger or weaker than others so that you will have choices to make and some of those choices will be better or worse. This is considered an engaging gameplay dynamic.
This explains why game balance patches in modern games don't seem aimed at balance at all but instead at rotating the meta or creating new strategies top-down. They want to keep you engaged in their little fake balance playground. Thing is it's a much less interesting gameplay dynamic than meta naturally evolving from player skill & creativity. I think this difference is highlighted in the Icefrog and post-Icefrog phases of Dota 2.
shakespeare couldnt write irony this heavy if you gave Her a thousand years
yeah yeah yeah whatever i dont care
the difference is I am actually nice to people who are nice to me and who deserve it, LBJ is not one of those people
you don't know the history
this little fucking DEI Yale arrogant cunt goes out of his way to make fun of the fact I have terrible chronic pain that makes it hard for me to do stuff
says all sorts of cruel, unnecessary garbage to me. and all over a fucking MAFIA GAME.
and what do I do? I let it go and act nice to him for YEARS
and this his how he types at me
yeah no, fuck him.
he's a piece of human garbage. truly.
i'd beat the shit out of him if I could.
I wouldnt even mention the DEI Yale shit if he didn't bring it up EVERY FUCKING CONVERSATION
