You're not making sense, Boem.

It's infectious, just like your "put in on layer thick".

Which is not what i wrote.

also good luck with making a big fuss out of nothing on somebody else his behalf.

More so because clarification was asked and i gave it, which i have never had a problem with. It's up to you if you think that clarification is in "good" or "bad" faith.

You make about as much sense as typing "posts and post's" aren't phonetically the same. As if me speed-typing these post's and adding a ' in autopilot makes it less phonetically accurate.

It doesn't and as long as i write it correct phonetically i assume most people on these boards can comprehend the meaning behind what i write.

You don't have to like or enjoy that, it isn't my concern.

Peace,

He didn't say he doesn't like it, just that it's gotten overboard basically. All these clips posted of people bombing through maps at like quadruple speed instakilling everything are just dumb. That's not how most people play though, but everyone tries to because it's possible.

This game would definitely not be very fun if it were slowed down in general. All they have to do to fix it is give all the monsters like 20x more health. 50x for white mobs.

Then people wouldn't be able to just stack tons of move speed without dying, but someone with a really good build and lots of skill would still be able to and move around quickly.

That's an awful idea. Giving monsters that much more time to one-shot you would be dreadful.

There are no unavoidable one shots. You guys just suck at building characters.

It isn't? Well then, please forgive me for considering

They seem to be doing a pretty good job, if so.

I said no such thing. Apparently you read about as carefully as you write.

I think he recognizes that it has gotten out of hand and is not good for the game per se, but one thing you have to remember is that Chris is not (and has not been for a long time) managing a game per se but rather a business. Any decision affecting the fundamental gameplay paradigm must be considered through that lens.

This would have the effect of making the already ridiculous meta/non-meta divide even wider. It alone is not a viable design choice because raising the HP levels high enough to keep monsters from being one-shot by the most powerful skills would require many other skills to take five minutes or more for every single rare. Does that sound like fun to you? (Also, keep in mind what I just said about this being a business decision.)

Checking in as a old-timer, BLoWer, ex-modder, alpha, and all the rest. Had no idea until randomly stumbling upon this thread.

Hope he's doing okay. He was super shitty on the forums before fucking off so I guess I shoulda seen it coming. The frustration with nu-PoE and TencentGGG is completely understandable.

On the upside, unless any one of us drops dead or deletes the internet, we're all such diehard ARPG fans that we'll likely run into each other again on some next new ARPG, a year or a decade from now.

Apologies gibbous, i didn't even realize i made that error and thought it was just the idiom mistake that set this whole thing off.

I thought i had written "put it on layer thick".

Archwizards confusion makes a lot more sense now aswell.

That's my fail, sorry sir.

It's a tiny example, but it's one demonstration among many that it's not a phonetic thing at all.

This made me write the other remark btw, it certainly gives off the impression that you don't think those words are phonetically the same.

Well actually that's just a small typo, and it's one that a reader might not even notice. I think our conversation would have been nearly identical even if you had typed "it" instead of "in," since all the points I made regarding idioms and collocation remain exactly the same.

The intended meaning is that your posts are not sometimes difficult to understand because they are "overly phonetic" but rather because the careless errors (and I'm not talking about typos here) lead to you saying things you don't intend to say, because punctuation often changes meaning.

I hope that is clearer.

That does sound like a lot of fun, and is how the game is supposed to be. If you don't know how to build a character and you've got 10k DPS it should take you five minutes to kill a rare later in maps.

And if you're great at building characters and have millions of DPS you should be able to smoothly run through everything at a decent pace.

The problem with the game isn't too much damage, it's too little health. My first actual attempt at a character had a little under 15k DPS with everything up, and I was running red maps with no problems. That's not how it should work.
