@JoshStrifeHayes Highly depends on the gaming community. The MMORPG audience leans pretty right on average from my time in it but I don’t think I’ve ever met a conservative animal crossing or Pokémon player

Dangerous question time ⚠️
Do you find 'gaming' culture, in general, leans more to the right or left wing, ideologically.
Not, which way do YOU lean, but based on your time in the hobby, which side do you seem to encounter more often.

@NeverSinkDev I do not like the use of it at all from a moral point of view, but I think there are better ways to use it. I’m fine with asking it “can you help me understand how to fix it”. The danger I’ve seen is when people ask “fix this code” and then no one knows what happened

If you're using my Filters or FilterBlade I need to hear your input.
Lets talk about AI boundaries. So far I have avoided AI-usage in the project.
I have a lot of PoE-specific-knowledge, programming and computer-linguistics skills and replacing them with AI is:
- Major downgrade.
- Breaking the trust of the community
- No fun, I like filter-tinkering.
Further: I do NOT intend to work on the actual filter and algorithmic core of my Filter project with AI.
However, I would like to get to hear the community input on using AI in a LIMITED scope in order to:
- Fix performance issues/vulnerabilities
- Writing 'technical' code like Unit Tests (only used to increase the quality)
- Reviewing existing code to look for quality improvements
I've been using AI in my fulltime job and other projects and I think it would provide a benefit.
I'd like to hear the community input.
Do you actually care?
Would you be OK with the plan above?
English
@ALegendaryDrops The wildest thing is I think it is strictly a downgrade from BDO
English
Dear Eastern devs,
I love your dedication to systems but ya'll are wild as fuck when it comes to controls and you need to handle it.
You don't need to make 2 button control Western games but I'm tired of playing Dance Dance Revolution just to open a door.

Crimson Desert players are asking for refunds due to the game's terrible clunky controls. "Whoever designed the control scheme should seek employment with the devil."

@Maliykus The best explanation I have is that it is a Korean game. They seem to like putting every trope into a single game. In universe there are vastly different tech levels between cities so one zone is knights while another is steam punk mechs and hot air balloons
English
Someone needs to fill me in on this. Why are elements from totally different time periods just randomly mixed together in this game? Is there a convincing in-universe explanation for this or is it just some bullshit?

There is a TRAIN in Crimson Desert. You can climb onto the train and travel the world as well.

@FelrynX I’m sorry I have to bring this to your attention but BFA is almost 8 years old which makes us roughly the same distance from it as it was from Cata
English
@nuhre_ Because the story of BDO can be summarized as the “r” key. I am not expecting much in the narrative department
English
Why is no one talking about the narrative side of Crimson Desert? What about the story? The cinematics look solid, sure, but if the plot is held together with thumbtacks and vibes, that’s not going to matter. I just have a gut feeling that no matter how much gameplay content it throws at me, this might not be my cup of tea. I hope proper gameplay videos start dropping soon so I can figure out whether there’s an actual story there or just very expensive cutscenes.

Crimson Desert early impressions from content creators: • "Yes, the game is real. Yes, it's f*cking awesome" • Combat feels fresh. Takes some practice but plays unlike any combat system they've seen before. • The target audience is "content lovers" and those who love getting deeply immersed and exploring every nook and cranny • Massive amount of content, this isn't a game you can finish in a few days • Creators got to play around 6 hours with the preview embargo landing on March 4th #CrimsonDesert #PS5 #Xbox #PC

@GoldnightAngel I play a Kaila deck with pretty much only angels but that one is pretty obvious. My other favorite is gorgons because there are like only 20 of them and Vraska

Tell me your favorite MTG tribe.
Ill Rate them.

It's always a toss-up as to whether someone's a video viewer or a live viewer.

I've mentioned that YouTube uses AI to allow a video poster to 1 tap respond to comments based on what it thinks you'd say. Obviously I don't use it, but there it sits.
English
@zhakaron I’ve only played it once, but I remember thinking it was a cool concept but poor execution. It felt way more on the rails than the main story arc. Could just be that the content was much smaller but even the RP outcomes felt too linear
English
Mechanically I quite enjoy Baldur's Gate Siege of Dragonspear. The Dialogue writing on the other hand
English
@NeverSinkDev I’m not sure how you didn’t expect it. You do still remember harvest league right?
English
I knew this would be a controversial post, but... I don't think I've ever gotten quite as demonized for one!
I subscribe to the 'a power fantasy earned is better than a power fantasy given' point of view in games. Personally I found the ease of access to some best-in-slot gear a bit anti-climatic.
I'm not going to try to convince of my viewpoint here. I think everyone is allowed to like games in a different way.
Still, it's valuable to know when my hunch is off and to hear other viewpoints.
Thanks for all the replies (excluding the rude ones or the ones who made it political).

I have a problem with the Keepers of the Flame league. There's a LOT to like about Breach v2. - The encounters are fun! - The genesis tree is a great concept! BUT: I seriously dislike how keepers and last patches in general have made access to INCREDIBLY well rolled items almost trivial. Items with 3-4x T1-T2 mods are now almost trivial to access in many cases. This happened in mercenaries, memory items, shipping in kingsmarch and is now in an extreme state in Keepers. Items that were previously Why this is a problem: - Rare drops pretty much don't matter at all anymore in the endgame - The system itself has made similar systems like memory strands, shipping gear obsolete - Fractured drops barely matter anymore - Expedition, Delve & Ritual are on all life support - Sources of exotic mods like incursion are barely relevant. Rares with mods that usually would require thousands of chaos orbs or a well structured strategy using fractured items and different systems are now sold for less than 10 chaos... while 5-6 linked. Personally I always found Expedition/Rog to have the perfect balance of effort, reward and randomness. The league gives you control, you occasionally create great items, but it doesn't make everything else obsolete. I don't think anything can or should be done anymore in this league. Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE the keepers-tree. I think it should stay in one form or another. The other branches of the tree are pretty nice. However, I think the equipment-branch needs to become way weaker. Changes I'd like to see NEXT LEAGUE: - T16 monsters becomes slightly weaker to account for defenses being less accessible - Keepers tree stays, but the tree doesn't spit out endless 6links and 3x T1+ items anymore. It should still do so rarely, but not with the overwhelming odds it does right now. - Shipping&Keepers are less likely to roll T1 bases and T1-T2 mods. - Memory items become a little bit more rare - Shipping provides less well rolled items What do you think? Do you share the same sentiment?

Here are the winners of your votes for my DnD character splash art!✨
The votes were so divided I decided to make the 2 most voted for versions and let you guys pick!
So... which thumbnail are we going for?
Also, to everyone who voted cleric, congrats, you guys were right!🥰

@NeverSinkDev I expect the juicers will be swimming in gold and not need to worry but casuals are going to be locked out of Kingsmarch or trading. I’m guessing most are going to opt for trading
English
One of the PoE1 changes I'm most curious about is if and how GOLD will change.
In 3.27 it will be at least used for:
- Kingsmarch
- Async Trading
- Currency Trading
- Respec/Atlas Respec
With only these and potentially new uses in 3.27 gold is already a hugely limiting factor
Imagine you'd have one slider as GGG that controls 'overall gold gain'.
Even slightly (+/-20%) moving that slider will likely have a hugely cascading impact on the game, prices on currency, regretorbs etc.
If gold is significantly easier to acquire everyone will minmax kingsmarch which will overproduce certain currencies and also respec costs will plummet
If gold is will be just as easy to acquire I can even see some people barely touching kingsmarch.
If gold will be harder to acquire: async trade may even receive less acceptance than in PoE2 (though I don't see this happening at all).
Also Betrayal and the gold allflames and some mapping strategies will be affected by this as well!
What are your expectations?

@loot_shootGG Nah, probably would have been ok if it came out in BL3 back in the day when open worlds weren’t quite as stale
English
@Ccrypto5 BL4 writing feels more like destiny than borderlands. On one hand I’m glad that they pulled it back from the deeply off-putting jokes in 3 but part of me wishes they kept a bit more of the tone from 2

@Ki11ersix @GearboxOfficial Figuring out where things are on the Z axis is so bad in this game with more verticality than ever before. Mini map would be helpful for that at the very least
English
Hey @GearboxOfficial we appreciate the combat radar, but…
Mini-map is a must.
@
@Ki11ersix I miss the minimap so much. The first few hours were somewhat awful while I was getting used to the compass. The enemy radar is nice, but not seeing pathways, friendly npcs and legendary loot near me in that corner sucks. I really hope they bring it back. For now, I'm making due.

@AdmiralBahroo That mod is so dumb. It’s like they looked at how people have been dogging on the on death explosions in poe for the last decade and gearbox said hold my beer

oh i asked my patrons about something, and i hope to post it for them this weekend! (it's dnd related)
