You mean posts by someone at work, who moves over 5000 pounds of product per day vs a 1600 lb average among peers, working 12 hour shifts, accomplishing all tasks of his job, and more to the point where a corporation basically lets him do as he pleases because it leads to greater profits?

Well, so, let me ask you. (I know I was gonna leave, but sometimes actual discussion sprouts!) Is this game mostly or entirely fun because of the learning? Say you not only understood all of the game entirely, but also mastered it, and could do whatever you wanted within the realm of possibility. Is it now no longer fun? Because the journey of learning, and the overcoming of these mistakes is no more? Do you only have fun because you believe that you have improvements to make? (Ignore the connotation that question has. If that is the only reason, then that is fine, as it is still a reason.)	Posted by ShadyC#1006 on Jan 14, 2022, 5:02:51 AM Quote this Post

(Ignore the connotation that question has. If that is the only reason, then that is fine, as it is still a reason.) no, there is of course more than just the learning. i enjoy seeing theoretical concepts come to life in terms of functioning builds. i enjoy optimizing and number crunching to meet content requirements. i enjoy mindlessly exploding screens and playing my character. but if there was nothing more to learn, the game would definitely become less fun. every time you learn about something new a door opens up somewhere and maybe it can be exploited somehow to improve a build. maybe it helps you in figuring out how to optimize a certain mechanic. to solve a small part of the puzzle. if you knew everything it would ultimately take away from the experience. would i still enjoy the game? definitely. but it would take away the aspect of research	Posted by jewdas12#5648 on Jan 14, 2022, 5:19:44 AM Quote this Post
costly mistake, sorry for you loss. but the game allowing for errors ever made for entertaining moments like hardcore streamers dying from a caustic flask or people getting their characers removed from a league in bandit fights. the only issue i got with this, is: you either design your game with that "punishment of fuckups" being intentionally or you don't. because if you just let some few of such traps in your game and sometimes fix some, it all comes over as a bug or design oversight or bad joke to the players affected. so far, ggg swings between those sides dependent on who you ask. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

I just know that Blizz has lost touch with reality, but you know, they pulled Starcraft2 real well, you never know. Blizzard North as well as d2 team are gone, mmkay. All that current actiblizzort cares is moneyz and player numbers, so you can guess the direction d4 is going.

Looks like an oversight from the devs and they will likely review how chaos to ES conversion works all over the board. I expect either a band aid like dropping the chest armour when AG dies or having minimum 1 HP when chaos at/over 50%. @OP Maybe open a new thread in feedback and suggestions where you can give some ideas what could be improved and your personal impressions with this item so far. Its a more appropriate place than GD where threads usually derail and get spammed faster.

Fleshcrafter was introduced in 3.11 and since then every other day someone complains about it, thinking its a bug and the mods are moving all those threads to gameplay&help. If it was an oversight, they somehow managed to keep overlooking it for more than a year by now. Doesnt look like an oversigth they are going to fix at all. Its the intended mechanic. It does exactly what it says its going to do. There is no oversight and nothing to fix in my opinion.	Posted by Orbaal#0435 on Jan 14, 2022, 8:22:32 AM Quote this Post
