What game/s are you playing currently?

.

No I haven't purchased Scorched Earth expansion for it. I probably will at some point but it doesn't bother me, I spent $17.99 for the game and have close to 300 hours played. I don't see a problem with having an expansion for a bit more money. Only reason I haven't bought it yet is that I am still learning a lot and having tons of fun on the base game. When that starts wearing out I'll buy the expansion and probably have a lot more fun on it.

I've been playing the Titan Quest Anniversary Edition a little bit. I personally think most of the changes they had little impact, or made the game even more unbalanced than it was previously. Not a huge fan of this Nordic Games studio.

They nerfed VIT and bleed resits to -100% without including enough gear for those resists. It's the hardest Diablo style ARPG to get decent resists in by a considerable margin.

Hades in Legendary can oneshot 12k HP with one of his attacks if your Vitality resist is 0%. The game was balanced around those types of attacks hitting players for a specific amount under specific circumstances. Even @ 80% resist, the attack can still hit for 1500-2000 range, when the average end game player has about 5k HP. Vitality damage done by enemies was balanced around the resist being no lower than 0% from penalties. Now the game is a oneshot fest vs mobs that do vitality and bleed damage.

Something else that's interesting. That yeti boss mob "Barmanu" the one that's notorious for oneshotting people with his meteor rain attack. I always knew the attack did a ridiculous amount of damage, but I never suspected it would be a "1hko under any circumstances" type of attack. I assumed with enough gear, enough resists, enough debuffs on Barmanu that I could survive the attack.

I tried a couple different combinations of "tanks". One was a soothsayer who had 13k HP 25% phys resist, max ice resist, 2700 armor (very high) and had 2 damage % debuff sources. As well as -35% damage from beastmen, which is what Barmanu is. -45% damage inflicted via deathchill aura + another -50% damage inflicted via plague. So all that HP, all that damage mitigation, and all those debuffs. Still got oneshotted. I also had a heal that would heal 3520 damage on a 1.7s CD. I was expecting to not only survive one meteor attack, but to be able to stand there and survive them indefinitely while popping heals when they were off CD. The same character can run Xmax x10, which increases the mob spawns to the maximum the game allows, we're talking swarms of enemies. Can also take out Hades x3. Yet Barmanu x1 oneshots me.

I also tried a Guardian (Nature + Defense) that had 18k HP using the same gear, landed plague debuff and toggled on Colossus Form (66% damage absorb), as well as every other defensive CD available from the defensive tree, all maxed out and into ultimate skill levels (+4 over cap), and still got oneshotted.

Can anyone name another Diablo style ARPG where there exists such an attack that is literally a 1hko no matter what attack? I don't believe any such attack exists or ever existed in PoE. There was always some gimmick you could use to survive. Even if it was immortal call. I've never personally seen such an attack in any diablo style ARPG.

I started yesterday with Enter the Gungeon. idk why I like to torture me so much. :D

I spent the whole September playing Pokemon Go, but it became boring. So I when I am tired of studying I play online poker, usually prefer to use en.casinoz.me guide cos I find it more convenient.

BATTLERITE

Whoever played Bloodlines Champions will like this one. :V New, fresh, a lot smoother. And people actually play it. It is goddamn amazing at this point, and it is still in early access.

A problem could be that the game is not fully released yet and they are already putting out new buy-to-play content ? They got trashed a lot for that, and with reasons. I mean, it's really a whole new level of bullshit in the early access/DLC/etc. way of how the gaming market is working nowadays.

I had to buy the game on steam in order to play it. Just like I bought a beta key to play PoE. If I'm getting entertainment from a product, I don't mind spending a bit more.

I understand why it would upset some people, I'm just not one of those people.

Just got done uploading this video for Titan Quest AE:

Showcasing one of the most OP builds in the game at the moment. Running the game on Xmax. That means up to x10 the amount of regular mobs on the screen (or caps mob spawns), and x3 bosses.

I forgot how much of a goddamn joy that game is. Act V has the best music in any game ever.
