@Raxxanterax Very smart move for this dude, he was never going to get anything good done with how this game is mismanaged from the top.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@RodFergusson The fact that anyone could vote too slow is mind boggling. I'm convinced these people would be happier with a button that just levels them to max with full bis gear. Insane shit.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@LittleGigant1 @PezRadar That's what happens when a company garners good will with its community over the years. Imagine that.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@ZiggyDStarcraft My opinion is players should start moving away from them and we should start experimenting with our own builds.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@ds_lily_ Not even slightly, but I don't follow guides so I'm not the target audience haha. I hope more people are willing to get in and just experiment with PoE2 rather than follow builds blindly.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@RodFergusson Except you guys ditched the Diablo formula two sequels in a row now, sooooo. The D3 and D4 formula should be called something like "Dad-like" or maybe "Diablo-LITE"?

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@AggrendWoW But why? Why are you guys not nerfing more, especially broken things that undermine the health of the game? I don't get it. This mentality of always buffing things to be more in line with the best is just compounding power creep issues. How is this method of balance sustainable?

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@AggrendWoW Spriest and boomie buffs are WILD, I'm at a complete loss. Also, as a Pally main, not super thrilled about twisting. Divine Storm RIP, forever a dead rune. Seems like there's some sort of always buff, never nerf mentality, which seems unsustainable. Sometimes nerfs are necessary.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@AggrendWoW All I can say is stop being so afraid to nerf things to a baseline. I'm sure you expected power creep in SoD, but it's out of hand. Always buffing everything up to compete feels backwards. I play melee, I'd rather see melee nerfs than buffs to casters that are already nuts in PvP

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@AggrendWoW Good stuff! Now can you allow us to repeat the Void Pearl quest for different trinkets? I understood the logic initially, but now not a single group will take me as Ret, basically forced to go Holy. Feels bad to waste gold on a new helmet AND pearl... Or just buff Ret? :P

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@djethrei @neolexical @O0_Y_0O @White_Leyth Damn, this is actually so much better. 🔥

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@AggrendWoW But it's not even fun gameplay for the premade. Camping a bunch of people AFK in their graveyard is not enjoyable, and somehow I seem to get paired against less premades when I'm in one myself. It's unfun on both ends, but people will keep doing it because it's optimal for rep.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@verona_renee @RodFergusson Look, I'm disappointed with D4 myself for a lot of reasons, but what does posting this accomplish? You just feel better tearing him down? And on something not even related to Diablo? Kind of goofy man.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@K9_3DArt @BrianVermonster @crizzonet @Diablo I landed on Rapid Fire after trying to make Barrage and Pen Shot work, RF just seems to have the better aspect. Dropped a Hakan neck so I'm messing with a Rain of Arrows/RF setup. It's satisfying to explode an entire screen, but hate waiting on ult CD. Fun, but meme build haha.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@LastEpoch Can you guys hit up the @Diablo 4 devs and help them out with creating a functional stash that has search and other features?

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@RodFergusson @2Rings4Mahomes How will this work? Will gems drop as they do now? How do you get a gem out of materials? I'm guessing there's going to be a gem "material" that you loot then craft as needed? Really takes away from how gems feel as their own item type. We just want stash/inventory tabs for this.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@Zizaran I'm a season enjoyer, but maybe you guys should consider what D4 has gotten fundamentally wrong to get us here. It's been designed in a way where resets don't make as much sense as they do in PoE or other ARPGs. I would never want the alternative, but D4's design has big issues.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@quin69 I think it's an issue with the way D4 is designed, not a sentiment on ARPGs in general. D4 doesn't have leaderboards (yet), no trade economy, an unsatisfying leveling slog, and poor loot hunt incentive. They've changed so many things about why resets are actually needed in ARPGs.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@PaulTassi As an ARPG Andy who enjoys seasons, I can kind of see your point, specifically with D4. One reason for resets is to have a fresh economy, but that is non-existent in D4. On top of the leveling slog and uninteresting item hunt, it's probs the least excited I've been for a reset.

[Girthquake @EricGORE]

@mtgaaron Why do I always seem at odds with everything happening in MTG? Haha. We have non-rotating formats for people who don't care to keep up with Standard. I wish we could go back to yearly rotation, Standard felt more fresh and healthy to me. Three years is insane.
