Time will only prove me to be correct. There is no world in which my mathematics on these topics is incorrect. I am being 100% Literal when I say the problem at GGG nepotism or a coke addiction.

Great quote ;)..: Jitter912#4278 wrote: SSF should be the game mode. Then you can go harder with hardcore. or Go easy mode with trade league. Trade for people who just want to gear up burn the game and move on. SSF for those who enjoy the loot hunt and craft. Hardcore for those who like to nail their foreskin to the wall.

Hardcore for those who like to nail their foreskin to the wall. That’s a cute quote. It’s not logical nor does it fit the majority of the long term player base of any game. Your quote is an over simplification of how those 3 styles work. I for example would have been a 5-10 year trade player. Believe it or not most the long term players of games like this are the ones capable of trading. Which is the exact opposite of your magical quote, but your quote is a quote so it must be true. People really have become this dumb. Not an ounce of common sense to be found anywhere. We truly are living in idiocracy the movie. Everyday my faith in the world dwindles a little more. When people have lost touch with common sense to this degree we can’t be too far away from a man made apocalypse.

Eh, it could be true, could be false... I think it's a great "post" ;) " Jitter912#4278 wrote: SSF should be the game mode. Then you can go harder with hardcore. or Go easy mode with trade league.

SSF for those who enjoy the loot hunt and craft. Hardcore for those who like to nail their foreskin to the wall. So to be clear you don’t see a problem with the fact that GGG intended to launch the game with bosses at 50% of there health pools and 24 jewel slots? That doesn’t scream “did you guys even test this game yourself once prior to early access launch?” To you? Because if they really were suppose to launch under those conditions the game would have been worse than torchlight lmfao. Again, they didn’t get forced to cut jewel slots by 50%. They could have increased boss and monster health and increased the size of skill tree. They massively shrunk the possibilities and you are cheering, congrats. When I say common sense is all that’s required, it’s because it’s literally all that is required. And again, I’ll lay out the most likely scenario that lead to this result, shot caller at GGG does massive line of drugs “hey uh we need to uh make it bigger and better, like huge, so let’s cut shit by 50%, that’ll make everything feel bigger and more meaningful” does another line “damn I’m good” underlings: “yes damn you are good sir” Last edited by Lore#3772 on Apr 4, 2025, 9:55:51 PM	Posted by Lore#3772 on Apr 4, 2025, 9:48:35 PM Quote this Post
Well their launch was clearly their initial "vision"... And now we see 0.2...an updated version of that... Again, they seem to be favoring "SSF-like" style more than Standard/Trade.

Anyone with a few years experience knows the difference between closed alpha and open beta. By making the 0.2.0 changes so dramatic they have literally admitted the game was not launched in a beta state. Again this is measurable fact. Someone out there really might attempt a law suit because there very well could be grounds to false advertisement. Highly unlikely to happen but they’ve opened the door to the possibility. Early access launch was an alpha test we had to pay to be a part of masquerading as an open beta. In my opinion.
