Ah hell. Game crashed and now there's a wide spread issue of not being able to login. Fuck online required games. I don't see how they lose money by offering an offline mode. Like come on dude.
Online DRM is not there to enhance your player experience. If it were offline, there wouldn't be one copy bought for a hundred copies played.

In PoE you definitely hit all your skills before the halfway point, the "challenge" is getting all your items with the exact number and type of gem slots, which is also the point where I lose all interest in the game. Not to mention the meta all involves spamming one skill endlessly, forever.

In Grim Dawn I just maxed out my LMB attack and facerolled the entire game, at no point experiencing anything close to a challenge. It was a relaxing way to unwind after work, but deep and complex, not so much.
Only special builds get to use 1 or 2 skills unless you are talking campaign only that is easy on purpose.

Builds with less buttons to push are usually 3-4 skills plus 4-5 potions that you spam every 5-6s.
D2 is the game you are thinking about, that was 1 to 3 buttons only plus 1 potion (full rejuvenation)

Why have you not bought D4 yet?
Because I'm currently playing an *actually* monocled game called Wartales.

You wouldn't get it.
Watched some gameplay. Looks like Divinity: Original Sin except not good. Aliens: Dark Descent looks alot more interesting, as tactical games go.
I must agree with you on this. I spent 30h playing Wartales before I quit and now spent watching Aliens DD on twitch for 5+ hours and it is overall a better game. I look forward playing it in about 1 month when I reinstall my windows and switch to win 10 from my superior win 7 (fuck you Steam and Microsoft)

Nice Birkenstocks, hippy.
Yeah can't say I'm a fan of that armor. Very frumpy looking. Porky should fork over the $25 like I did and get himself the fabulous looking Death Toll armor cosmetic.

That way he can slay and look fashionable doing it. :obviously:
You paid $25 USD for a jpeg? :lol:
It's an in-game armor cosmetic you dope. Spent another $25 last night because I really wanted that cool horse mount I've been glancing at for days. I believe that puts me at $95 total so far that I've spent on cosmetics. Omg I need help.

I would pay up if they offered non-negroid faces.

See my portrait. That's what they all look like.

Gotta disagree with you here. I couldn't be happier with how my sorceress looks in armor. She's absolutely frabjous.

She also has a very pretty face. I'd like to be able to make some adjustments, specifically to her chin. I'd also like for her to have better tits but otherwise she's a fine goth gal.

And of course I would be crazy not to show off my new mount which I'm super proud of. I named him Spiderbatman Radio Flier.

So I'm attempting a more appropriate look for my Pyromancer sorce. How do you feel about these colors? Would it be better to mix red, orange, and yellow to represent flames or should I go with a solid red or orange? The blue just doesn't make a whole lot of sense I'm realizing considering the build I made. Opinions?

Yeah, I'm the dope. Maybe if you weren't so busy trying to prove that the proverb about fools and money was true, you wouldn't have to live with your mom.

Look I know we have our differences but I've always respected you a bit. Don't start telling lies like that. It's the quickest way to get on my shitlist. I don't have kids, I live cheap, I have a decent paying job. That's the reason why I can afford to throw money away on worthless shit. And in my defence I have never once purchased cosmetics in the past. This is a first and strictly a Diablo 4 thing, simply because I'm enjoying the game that much.

Blizzard could do a much better job of explaining some of these affixes, status effects, and aspects. Alot of them are obtuse as all fuck and I'm getting tired of having to resort to google every 10 seconds. Like "% damage to injured enemies". Wtf constitutes as an injured enemy? When it's damaged? When it has a broken limb? Can you even break limbs? Crowd control is never explained. Fortify is never explained. Vulnerable status is never explained. Lucky hit is never explained. There are a million examples I'm forgetting.

SDG, I realize you are playing somewhat under the influence, but they display the explanations of statuses under the main item details pop-up.
