@WagaGaming The tinker cycle. >Reworked, > Abysmal win rate > someone figures out how to make it op over the next few months > tinker is a problem again > reworked

Nature is healing. Fuck tinker.

@nikgeneburn Nikita, want a game people will come back to every season? Completely revamp all the quests. Dont just give all old quests + new seasonal ones. People are tired of doing the same bull shit for the 60th wipe in a row.

Exactly. It will be separate realm for those, who wants to experience all of the wipe related stuff - starting from scratch with everybody, progress through it. Seasons will have unique modifiers, like no flea, or open flea, or friendly scavs, or scav war etc. Lore based seasons, unique seasonal quests and so on. Also your seasonal character will have RPG style perks and debuffs selection before you will go in the season (you can make it really hardcore for you personally with some good bonuses). This is only the part of seasonal character feature. We want to make it interesting. More info will come later.

@NoiceGuy_ Game unfortunatly feels very shallow with all the duped currency. I enjoy the game for the grind, but feels like everyone has everything right now. Except wikkello things. But also

@aycege no idea about a wipe but 4.7 has crafting and a huge new event and it's PTU right now ~1 month We're going to be diving in to it for the first time in several months once it is live. Starting a new org and everything.

If you were waiting to get into Star Citizen this is a really good time to pull the trigger. Big updates coming and great sale on the best starter ship IMO 🚀🚀🚀

@DesmondPilak As someone who plays from China, and with my friends on other servers. I can tell you with 100% hit reg issues come from the other player having high ping. If I run into other players from China or Australia the hit reg is terrible. Low players I notice nothing with 180~ ping.

Has anyone noticed an actual benefit from using something like Exitlag on tarkov specifically for hit reg? the current hit reg is unbelievable how bad it is, feels like 1/3 of shots actually reg currently #escapefromtarkov

Absolute clowns just close my ticket while trying to recover.

Hey @EpicGames my account was hacked, and your customer support told me there is nothing they can do. Ive had an account for almost 10 years. And randomly it changed to a Russian email. Surely this is obvious?

Who has the best back tattoo?

@DarthMicroT Oxygen not included next. It also turns into automation

I went down the automation games rabbit hole. I played: 1) Factorio 2) Satisfactory 3) Dyson Sphere Program 4) Star Rapture So far Factorio is my favorite, and makes my top 10 games of all time.

@DarthMicroT Wait till you try oxygen not included and realise you didnt pay enough attention in school

I have discovered Factorio I dont have enough hours left in my life for this game

@thomasmahler No jokes. The closest thing we've ever had to a next gen arpg was lost ark. It was so godamn good, but stained by terrible pay to win. Also it was pushed so hard on the multi-player aspect that some would even call it an mmo over an arpg. But I think that's not a bad thing either

We are trying to essentially build the next-gen ARPG. The kinda ARPG you couldn't have made 20 years ago cause it wouldn't have been possible just yet. I think the issue I have with PoE2 is that it's still built on the same old foundations of PoE1 in the same way that Diablo 4 is basically just built on the exact same foundations of Diablo 3. But sometimes risk-taking is required in order to push a genre forward. And if you don't do it, chances are your competitors will and then they'll eat your lunch. Super Mario 64 wouldn't ever have happened if Miyamoto just stuck to his guns and kept making 2d Mario games for the rest of his career just because those 8 and 16bit Mario games were successful. No, they had guts and bet their entire company on the idea that the next thing is going to be fundamentally different and that they're good enough designers to make it work even though they clearly had no idea if a 3d platformer would work - because those didn't really exist. There's a very strange conundrum with PoE2 where it seems clear that Jonathan wanted to have more meaningful combat in the game, but you literally can't get there by basing the new game on the same old point and click foundation of the old game. Instead, you need to look at what japanese devs did in the meantime, because we don't have the same limitations anymore that we had in the 90s and early 00s. MoHu and Souls already laid out the foundation, it was clear to us that these animation-commit combat systems just offer inherently more freedom and allow combat to not be basically a faked abstraction layer anymore. If you want combat to be meaningful, nowadays you can make an animation-commit combat system with a modern network engine and rollback netcode and actually make that work. You'd just have to be willing to take that leap forward. But I'm guessing that's a risk they didn't want to take, so they tried to ape Souls-like combat within their point and click engine, which is exactly why they're struggling now to make that work and will probably keep struggling until they decide to do the same thing we did once they work on PoE3. We feel like what we did with Wicked is the next logical step for ARPG combat. In the same way Brevik 30 years ago ultimately decided to turn Diablo 1 into a realtime game and did not make another turn-based game by aping Rogue, etc., we all need to accept that if we want better combat in ARPGs, it needs to be built on this foundation, because a point and click system comes with inherent design limitations that cannot be overcome. I already elaborated on this topic in great detail in this post: x.com/thomasmahler/s…
