Except they didn’t. Even more than before, you need vulnerable and crit on everything to compensate because they are in different buckets.

They lowered the build variety.

Lowering numbers doesn’t fix anything here, it’s the formula itself which need to be changed. Or they could put diminishing returns so people would use vulnerable / crit until they hit those caps and use other stats for the rest.

Right now, the only thing they achieves is lowering dps for every single build.

If you like rogue-like and card games, I would advise you to try Inscryption! It even has a neat story with plot twist that completely change the game.

With one hour a day, you won’t make any progress at all with the nerfs to XP gains and base stats / vuln / crit / crit dmg and it’ll just discourage you to play at all.

You’re making the same excuses as Bethesda fanboys for the shitstain that was Fallout 76.

With a game like Divinity or BG3, an hour will be enough to do one or maybe two flesh out quests with meaningful impact.

I’m not a 20yo teenager with a lot of free time either so if I spend time on a game, it needs to be meaningful otherwise what’s the point of playing it instead of Candycrush?

Don’t worry, Baldur’s Gate 3 is around the corner and it seems it will be the new RPG gold standard of the decade.

Devs from other companied are whining about it, including Blizzard, because players are gonna compare what Larian is capable to do with their own work and they know they don´t stand a chance.

Hollow Knight and Starfield are coming soon too.

I’m planning on not playing this season and wait until Blizzard try to make the game fun again.

Until that time (probably season 3, or never), I have Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield and Hollow Knight to have fun.

Agreed but if they want people to use other affixes, first they need to remove a lot of them.

One of the main point of an aRPG is looting, if you can’t figure out easily if a loot is an upgrade or not, you’ve done a shitty job with your game.

Thanks for showing my point about too many affixes.

Explain to me how you’re gonna know if your current sword with vuln/crit/crit dmg is better or worse than the new shinny drop with +cutthroat/crit/trap for a rogue.

Hint : You can’t without testing, and how are you gonna do that without enchanting + reroll 1 affix ? We didn’t have that many affixes in Diablo 2 LoD and surprise, nobody complained !

What’s gonna happen is the players who’ve gonna keep playing the game will use websites like « Ask Mr Robot » everytime they get loot.

They pretty much nerf everything. They try to force player to use +physical/bone/etc… instead of stacking crit/crit dmg/vulnerable without understanding that if we focus on those, it’s also because it’s simple to figure out.

There are way to many affix, most people can’t tell if an item is an upgrade or not because of it. Instead of fixing this, they add even more useless affix and nerf the useful ones…

We’re increasing the availability of the Affixes below to make them easier to include in different builds.

I swear it’s like they don’t want people to have fun. It feels like WoW all over again when they added useless stats like resilience.

I’m amazed that they didn’t learn anything considering how old WoW is, they should know that what’s gonna happened is people making softwares to do the maths instead of them.

I don’t have issue on my banking site but I’m not surprised, privacy settings tend to break some sites.

No tinkering required, technically you could achieve the same result with regular Firefox + tinkering.

It’s as simple out of the box but with a greater focus on privacy with telemetry off and the pocket integration disabled.

Or even better, a fork of Firefox which disable all that telemetry crap and bundle with uBlock Origin : LibreWolf.

I was working as IT support a few years ago and 90% of the time, the issue was as simple as a password not written properly or an unplugged cable.

When you have to drive more than 1 hour just for something that stupid, you prefer to make sure it’s not that.

One thing bothers me with this… How do we know the results are correct ?

I’ve used Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Videos and each service got worse and more expensive with time so now I’m back to the sea 🏴‍☠️

Bitwarden.

I used to think the same for WhatsApp, Spotify, Twitter and Apollo but they can all be replaced by alternatives (Telegram / Signal, Amazon Music, Mastodon, Memmy).

I know about Keepass but it’s definitely not as convenient and easy to use as Bitwarden.

I don’t use YouTube app because of ads everywhere but I would have trouble stop using YouTube on my computer.

Maybe users will stop posting link to this site now that a lot of people can’t see it.

I see this as a plus.

Mastodon is a great alternative and it’s growing, just like Lemmy is for Reddit.

I’ve never been active on Twitter but for some reason, I’m actually posting and commenting on Mastodon, it just needs bigger names and communities and it will be perfect.

It’s a big deal. Minecraft is a huge community, most of the big YouTubers or Streamers become big because of it or Fortnite.

You also have to remember that it’s Microsoft behind Minecraft, it’s the second GAFAM after Google which is unhappy with the situation.

It’s definitely gonna affect the IPO negatively.

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.
