it'll be a cute lil chest to try out

hollow arrow
#

man hitting 800+ corruption has damn near doubled my uniques it feels like

#

just had 3 non lp unstables drop in one echo just now

#

with a gaze at end

#

and another 1lp unstable

#

wtf

#

lmao max roll elemental dmg

#

lets go 500m ez

cedar ocean
#

Btw a little stupid question

#

How can I effectively calculate my crit chance %

#

As sheet says 60 something percent

#

But I feel like I am critting always haha

crimson raft
cedar ocean
#

Yeah I will give that a try, thanks!

#

Just gotta make sure to find what gives me what

#

Wish it showed easier in tooltip but oh well haha

crimson raft
#

Yeah, maybe in x cycles we'll get one per skill that works!

#

But bonus doing it this way, is that you really get to understand where\how your crits are coming from and what makes the biggest impacts etc

cedar ocean
#

I just wonder if gaze with 3% will be enough

#

Instead of 4% that I currently have

#

As 4% ones are pricey/rare to find haha

hollow arrow
#

you should be able to run a nonlp 4% crit gaze

#

i did for a long time till i finally got one with 1lp

stiff crown
#

With LB Closed Circuit, I can hit about 14 stacks on average with a 46% claw and 20 Mana Strikes attacks every 4 seconds. That's 420% increased damage from Closed Circuit and 240% increased damage from Rune Sap on a single target, and 560% increased crit chance (but you should already be closed to cap anyway). The range on the chain kind of sucks but Snap Freeze makes it a bit safer. I can get even more stacks on average if I specced in Enchant Weapon

#

20 attacks per 4 seconds. 30% chance to cast FC on melee hit Macuahuitl which the most likely outcome is 6 FC. Each FC has 5 hits. 30 FC hits at 46% to cast LB which the most likely outcome is 14 procs.

safe grail
#

stack deez

strange flicker
#

almost 4k corr now

cedar ocean
#

Oh damn

#

Mind sharing your planner?

safe grail
#

Disclaimer: Puru's build requires a bit of a brain 😛

#

it's not your normal playstyle for FC iirc

left tundra
strange flicker
#

alot of getting sniped by mobs Facepalm

cedar ocean
#

I am at like 900 corr and it already gets slower a lot on bosses

#

Not sure if I am missing something

strange flicker
#

like shades/ gazes?

cedar ocean
#

Yeah

strange flicker
#

i mean rm st damage outside of monos isnt that amazing, compared to some busted classes

#

but bosses are free

#

it just takes longer

safe grail
#

think we generally struggle w/ shades, but also turbo struggle if they come with very specific, anti-rm affixes

cedar ocean
#

Yeah true

strange flicker
#

rather than struggle its more like we take longer

#

but i bet at like 10k corr

#

rm prob best shade killer kek

#

just take 5 min

#

or 7

#

lmao

left tundra
#

i'm curious to see the planner though

glad to see someone valuing confluence

#

no one understands that the flat dmg is fkn busted

strange flicker
#

its

#

most busted item

#

i tested it

safe grail
#

ye

cedar ocean
#

Hmm one more question puru, since you're running static armor

strange flicker
#

its insane

#

ppl just dont kno the value of random added dmg

#

LOL

cedar ocean
#

You got over 300 mana threshhold?

safe grail
#

from the flat dmg? yeah

#

ik

strange flicker
#

ye

safe grail
#

it's kinda amusing

cedar ocean
#

Or dont care about it

strange flicker
#

i got 302

cedar ocean
#

I see

safe grail
#

i still maintain that ele dmg is bait

strange flicker
#

i target it if i dont int usually since its free dmg

cedar ocean
#

Thanks man!

safe grail
#

if you add flat dmg, then add spell dmg, it enhances ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL that

#

p heavily.

strange flicker
#

its also just alota added dmg

#

like the amount u get

#

from dis 1 item

#

way 2 much

#

LOL

safe grail
#

yerpppppppppppp

#

i considered putting that in my drag's build

strange flicker
#

also the base imp

safe grail
#

which i still might

#

yeah

strange flicker
#

is already insane

safe grail
#

implicit is big for DR

#

15 str 20 light resist

safe grail
#

ye

#

actually big

hollow arrow
#

oh there's 4 of them

#

dude duped lmao

safe grail
#

i am gonna drop nova off tho

#

i like it, but with full drag's claw build, gotta enhance it better

#

it's missing too much w/ only 2/3 celestial

#

back to my previous build for now 🙂

hollow arrow
#

3lp fate is 400m lowest

#

not bad

safe grail
#

confluence?

hollow arrow
#

ye

safe grail
#

that is nb.

#

but also could just be market fkd rn

hollow arrow
#

tru

#

the two lowest aint bad stats tho

#

18/15/15 and 15/17/17 flat stats

#

but yeah could change in no time, nobody runs them lol

#

2's are 0-10k so yeah

safe grail
#

ya know

#

no one has been doing much LB lately.

#

kinda sadge

hollow arrow
#

lol

#

you shelving nova cuz why

#

not enough dmg?

safe grail
#

yeah it's stretched too thin with this setup

hollow arrow
#

or need to build gear up more

#

ahhhh kk

safe grail
#

i think when i get more gear

#

it'll go up considerably, yeah

wild thorn
#

I have a wand with more Spell Dmg and more Element % but it does less than another. Can anyone help me make sense of that?

hollow arrow
#

so int, light multi, and light resist you think on pride?

#

checking AH now

safe grail
#

yea

#

i think that'd be best slams on it

left tundra
hollow arrow
#

hows your setup sharoon

#

since you at 3.2

#

no donor chests at reasonable prices yet ex lmao

#

people still askin high for t7 int chests

cedar ocean
#

Hmmm Puru, how's Spark of Celerity not benefitting instead of 4 points in Artor's spectre?

#

I assume you're not having mana issues but isn't projectile speed wanted?

strange flicker
#

no projectile speed is useless

#

ur capped by cast speed, the projectile speed does nothing

cedar ocean
#

ohhh I see

strange flicker
#

also u always want as little celerity points as possible

#

to whatever ur mana can handle

cedar ocean
#

So that %dmg becomes much more valuable than the mana eff

#

if you dont have mana problems

strange flicker
#

yea

cedar ocean
#

I see, thanks a lot man!

hard orbit
#

the prophet has spoken!

hollow arrow
hard orbit
#

For builds using reowyns frostguard, why dont they pick epilogue from flame rush?

safe grail
#

eats too much mana iirc

hard orbit
#

oh and author of arcana is only for direct casts

#

ok that makes sense

safe grail
#

yeeeeeeee

cedar ocean
#

I rolled back to Plasma orb RM lastweek due to crazy prices on anything for Frostclaw

#

As long as you have HH support in party

#

It clears 2k corr like crazy even in group

stiff crown
#

I think the Mana spent is also credited towards Julra and Strands

hard orbit
#

Has anyone figured out what's going on with never late? I "feel" its up all the time but its kinda hard to pinpoint with 30000 hits and explosions with frostclaw nova

#

and it doesnt show on your character sheet

safe grail
#

its bugged

#

and stays active forever.

#

dont think theyve fixed that yet

stiff crown
#

I thought we figured out it was bugged

hard orbit
#

yeah but how does it even work, is it flat% crit? does it get affected by %crit increase? does it stack?

safe grail
#

it looks like it is flat, yeah

hard orbit
#

I've tried messing around with points on the talent, sometimes it shows on my buffs, sometimes it doesnt

hard orbit
safe grail
#

it would, yes.

#

as in affected by % crit increases (multi)

hard orbit
#

but it doesnt show on your character stats, weird.

safe grail
#

ofc it wont

#

its on the spell

#

not on your spell crit

hard orbit
#

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

safe grail
#

crit chance on next spell

hard orbit
#

guess I'll store my crit chance gear for when they fix the bug

heady scarab
#

Hey all. New to mage. Had a molten core with lp drop and wondering if it would be good for a mage build. Anything come to mind?

hard orbit
#

molten core?

heady scarab
#

Sorry, unstable core. 🙂

cedar ocean
#

Yeah it is usable for the frostclaw build, which is one of the best runemaster builds right now

heady scarab
#

Ok great ty. Any suggestions on what to slam with the lp? Or maybe I’ll go find a guide first 🙂

hard orbit
#

int will always be nice

#

if you're going for spark charge, maybe lightning crit multi

heady scarab
#

Ok great tyvm, will check it out!

stiff crown
#

@hard orbit You still doing Mana Strike or have you evolved?

sturdy summit
hard orbit
#

Never did mana strike

stiff crown
#

Oh okay

#

I think I have mistaken you for someone else. I needed someone to help me test something

hard orbit
stiff crown
#

Ah, maybe that’s why I got confused. I’m trying to test interactions between Enchant Weapon and RM exclusive specific skills and passives

#

I’m starting to slow down around 1500c so I need to evolve my build

#

I think I just need to get off an auto pilot build and actually start playing the game with 2 hands

#

i lowkey wish glacier is like in PoE

#

double triple cast glacier that clears near half the screen ....

full bluff
#

After having testing various skills, there is a pattern, most work fine at 100 corruption, a few works well at 300. Very few work beyond that, with speed. So the pattern is, frost claw is the one that is off

#

So we will probably get a buff to frost claw in 1.1 🙂

hardy loom
#

how about buff the other skillsss

full bluff
#

Think that is too much work

hardy loom
#

🙈

full bluff
#

Just buff (under cover of rebalancing) frost claw and everyone is happy

sinful hamlet
unborn hamlet
#

buffing frostclawn?

#

this dude on some cope 😂

#

what do you want, RMs to go into the 100k corruption range?

#

😂

hollow arrow
#

just the 50k's

unborn hamlet
#

after the patch to exploding balista and profane veil it might be just the most broken ass ability in this game and u want to buff it , i legit cackled

full bluff
#

Last time they tried to nerf frost claw, we ended up with a major buff to it 🙂

safe grail
#

Post is out re: MG

hollow arrow
#

dang no loot bonus till end of cycle

#

lmao

unborn hamlet
#

take em flamethrowers from Musk and go on a sweep

#

now to check if im banned or not cos im paranoid even tho i never touched MG anyway 😂

hollow arrow
#

same

#

i'll get hit cuz i sold some stuff during that exploit duration

#

lmao

#

i understand doing a gold tax in 1.1 tho

#

gold inflates fast lmao

#

wouldn't be as fast as this cycle since we've had a dupe exploit/redeem exploit at start, then this gold exploit

#

but i could see it going up decently well

safe grail
#

so ill say this again

#

a gold tax just means

#

things will sell for more

#

LOL

hollow arrow
#

yeah

#

oh someone bought a thing from g2g lmao

#

sold count went up

#

right when they are hunting rmt's

#

lmao

safe grail
#

wouldnt even talk about that anymore in here

#

they are muting/banning for everything it seems

hollow arrow
#

it seems like it's in general the most

#

i usually hang here now cuz herp derp fest in there'

safe grail
#

yeah i need to just avoid genny as well

hollow arrow
#

lmao

unborn hamlet
#

imagine even going to the gen chat in the first place

#

always avoid that in big servers

#

😂

hollow arrow
#

but yeah, i mean prices wont be as high at the start, nor will it climb fast long as they keep exploits away

#

but gold tax will increase it for sure

#

Will see what changes they do for 1.1 with factions, and will decide what to join then

unborn hamlet
#

i will have to see what they cook for next cycle, i asked Mike yday and he confirmed they are overhauling the perks for both factions

hollow arrow
#

yeah i saw that

unborn hamlet
#

yea exactly same

hollow arrow
#

for now i'll just ride out rest of MG

#

and try out lightning marksman if i ever get some drops for it while im chasing corruption

unborn hamlet
#

im kind of done for the cycle i think

hollow arrow
#

i got a 2lp soul gamba necklace last night

#

so that's a plus for that build

unborn hamlet
#

this poor old Laptop cant handle the intesivity of LE

#

and often overheats

hollow arrow
#

lmao

unborn hamlet
#

so im not stressing it

hollow arrow
#

time for upgrade

unborn hamlet
#

yea

#

already looking at options, depending on how fat my pay will be this month might snag one now, or month after

#

should be in time for next cycle

#

looking at solid 8core intel 7th gen 5ghz, 16/32gb ram with at least 40 series nvidia

#

or better

#

considering trying out MSi , heard many good things about their gaming laptops, while Asus left me down with this one

#

its a solid lappy, but the overheating is awful

stiff crown
#

Laptops will never not overheat compared to a PC unless the cooling is just insanely loud or sophisticated, imo

#

Towers can overheat too but at least there’s more space for air flow and stuff

unborn hamlet
#

It's just I have no space for a gaming tower

stiff crown
#

You can also buy external cooling pad that have fans where you put your laptop on

unborn hamlet
#

Small rent apart

stiff crown
#

Play on the toilet. Be efficient

unborn hamlet
#

I think it's just that the CPU/GPU is just faulty at this point

#

I am monitoring the temperature from other PC, and it's usually flatlined at 80-85, which is normal

#

But it spikes to 100+ for no reason, and that just blue screens the lappy

#

And I can't figure out why that happens

#

Even when I'm not doing any and it sits at around 30-40, it randomly spikes to 90+ , when there is absolutely no reason for it

stiff crown
#

Maybe some crazy updates running in the background? Did you check task manager?

unborn hamlet
#

I tried about everything, even a different voltage

#

I just think the internal measuring sensors are just done

stiff crown
#

Different voltage? You have a transformer you’re using or something? lol

unborn hamlet
#

Voltage , I mean watts

#

#

Oh, ok

#

gotta keep the job until i kick the bucket

stiff crown
#

Ah, you’re EU

unborn hamlet
#

if i wanted to move elswhere it would be some aussie tech giant at best

#

honestly, going to the USA is a downgrade at this point

#

with my health issues i would just drown in medical debt

#

😂

stiff crown
#

I’m in US, but I have family in AU

unborn hamlet
#

i have nothing against yall there but ya crazy, with ur systems

stiff crown
#

Both places have their pros and cons

safe grail
#

really wanna leave the US but

#

kind of impossible for me really.

unborn hamlet
#

safety, education, healthcare, food regulations, im sorry but its just bad across the board, im sure there is nice parts of US too, but its hard to see them across the mountains of bad

safe grail
#

the only issue w/ leaving the US and being an expat anywhere else is literally that

#

just being an expat

#

lol

unborn hamlet
#

i wanna visit yellowstone in my lifetime tho

#

you get targeted p heavily

I like it here. I’ve had a great experience so far and same with my parents who are first generation immigrants, and I don’t wish to leave, but I’ll also say that every place has their ups and downs so the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I’ll leave it at that.

#

our country had it ´´good´´

#

we had Velvet revolution

if u know what that is

sturdy summit

we got permission to leave in 89. We were supposed to go to israel, because my grandfather was jewish, but when we got to Rome, we sold our tickets and applied for political asylum in the US.

sturdy summit

the logical conclusion is that Einstein was a vampire 🤣

safe grail
#

wait 89

#

isnt that when the wall fell?

sturdy summit
#

I think 89 sounds wrong

unborn hamlet
#

nah

#

no wait

#

it did fall in 89

#

the berlin wall

sturdy summit
#

I think it must have been 87, because I was born in 83, and I couldn't have been 4-5 when we left if it was in 89

unborn hamlet
#

he is talking about the Berlin Wall

sturdy summit
#

oh yeah

safe grail
#

yeah berlin wall was when Gorbachev started loosening everything up

#

esp after Chernobyl

sturdy summit
#

perestroika was already before the wall fell

but Putin being Putin they are hushing it up

how 1 man can brainwash so many people its just sad

sturdy summit
#

damn, I hadn't heard about that. I kind of try to limit how much news I consume. I'll need to read up on that.

safe grail
#

we should prolly stop talking about this, granted this channel is usually safe

#

but i dont want us to get Rule 5d.

sturdy summit
#

good idea

safe grail
#

I already got yeeted over the weekend for 24h lmao

unborn hamlet
#

okay okay

safe grail
#

dont want a repeat.

sturdy summit
#

a little off topic is fine, but we should avoid a huge derail

safe grail
#

LOL yeah

#

all good

unborn hamlet
#

anyway yea, i live far too close for comfort, they even wanted to mobilise just in case, glad the parliament shut that down real fast

glass latch
#

I see a lot of elemental nova builds are using frost claw to trigger the novas. Is there some reason besides "you can aim it" that I'm missing? Why not just cast the nova directly?

Just ripped my HC rogue, thinking of trying a ward mage for a change since I found an exsanguinous

#

Also wondering if the giga-nova via runic invocation is worth going for, or just stick to the frostguard spell

pseudo verge
#

You cast 2 spells in one cast = more dps and AoE basically

pale cedar
#

Also frost claw has the ability to do much higher single target damage. I tried a direct cast nova build before and killing bosses took forever. And one other thing I recently found out is that elemental nova has a chance to proc off each of the bonus frost claws in the bottom left nodes. Good for aoe clear

glass latch
#

Ah, cheers, I thought the claw was just a trigger with basically negligible damage but that makes more sense!

pale cedar
#

It usually is kind of negligible but the bottom right node that allows each projectile to hit the same target can add up. Especially if you’re a frostbite build like me

sturdy summit
#

volley of glass is amazing

full bluff
#

Glacier plays better than fireball on runemaster 🙂

safe grail
#

😄

#

love that

full bluff
#

Glacier plays a bit like melee, need to get pretty close

#

Better than any invocation I have tried today

#

Most of them struggled on corruption 100..

errant plank
#

What does mean "+25-40% body armor shard drop rate" as blessing for example? What is "item shard"?

trail tendon
#

The Maxroll spellblade guide has you drop manastrike after 8 points in firebrand, but I see no way of gaining mana after that =\

stiff crown
#

Like physical resistance shards for crafting

errant plank
#

ok so it can be basically anything? I better go for skills or prefix shard?

#

(assulming i prefer prefixes and skills shards obvisouly)

stiff crown

It's about the quick gain of stacks

It's confirmed by the devs

#

999 is just the count cap

#

I have easily thousands of stacks

#

3-5k depending on boss

#

It even shows a + sign under the 999

#

youre playing the build you should know that

pale cedar
unborn hamlet
#

All good, need to correct fellow frostbite enjoyers to spread the propaganda more

#

If the boss is stationary like the reign of dragons boss, it's easy 5k+ stacks

#

I melt the boss from 100 to 20% (after which the DMG reduction kicks in too fast) in like 10seconds

#

Generally the whole fight is 30-35sec for me

#

Training dummy is not a good dps target and nobody can change my mind

#

Doesn't translate into real gameplay at all

pale cedar
#

Yeah I definitely agree on that

unborn hamlet
#

My dots caps at around 80-90k DMG on max stacks depending on boss resistances, meanwhile on training dummy they hit for like 3milion

pale cedar
#

Half of the rune master % multipliers don’t work in the dummy

unborn hamlet
#

At first I thought it's 300k

pale cedar
#

Yeah though 80-90k is still a lot to be fair hahah

unborn hamlet

But then I counted the numbers like 8 times over and it's in the millions

unborn hamlet
#

Meanwhile spark charge be flying around the map nuking everything with 50k crits

pale cedar
#

Yeah I usually try to screen shot it cause I can’t read the digits fast enough. All I know is if a build I’m trying barely does 10k a hit to a dummy it’s probably not gonna go well in the monos 😭

#

Spark charge is kind of fun but I think the bossing is way slower

I followed the BinaQc maxroll guide on frostbite as a baseline, then ventured off a bit with gear to what I thought fits better

Any reason why Flame Ward (unspecced) isn't proccing Runeword: Inferno at 5 points? Am I missing something?

safe grail
stiff crown
#

I really wanted 30% multiplicative armor from Flame Ward activation /despair

#

I was also hoping that Enchant Weapon with the Elemental tag was able to proc all 3 elemental runewords

safe grail
#

awh it doesn't?

stiff crown
#

Nope, sadge

#

Frost Wall works though for proccing the cold one. So if I have +10 cold spell damage. That gets added to other spells even if they don't have the cold tag? Like Spark Charge?

stiff crown
#

Thanks

sturdy summit
#

+10 cold spell damage applies to "spell" skills and applies the "+10 cold" effect. Cold is part of the effect, rather than part of the matching condition.

stiff crown
#

Also, found some weird interactions with Enchant Weapon and Runic Invocation (not that ya'll play EW). But EW has the elemental tag and it alternates F-L-C-repeat if casted solely by itself. But it is affected by your current runes. It always tries to fill in as the missing element, but if there's a tie, it defaults to F. Meaning, I can spam Mana Strike (L), then cast Frost Wall (C), then EW (F), then Frost Wall (C) again for CFC manual cast.

sturdy summit
#

wow, that's sneaky!

#

I have a desire to someday try out a melee runemaster, so I'll certainly keep that tucked away for later.

maybe in a future cycle

Yeah. it's more work, but I need drastic measures to push corruption now.

As a side note, if you have Immutable Order, EW always does F

It took me until today to realise this game does not queue inputs

pale cedar
warped crow
royal gull
#

I was playing my Void Knight and using Multistrike -> Void Cleave as a builder / spender and was wondering why my Void Cleave wouldn't come out the first time I pressed it half the time

warped crow
#

but like none of the dmg stuff carries over since the damage isnt the antipode

royal gull
#

You actually have to completely finish animations before doing a new input to execute the next input

#

Even fighting games don't make you do that

warped crow
#

wrong channel lel

#

oh wait

royal gull
#

No, not wrong channel, this is a generic gameplay mechanic 🙂

warped crow
#

ye

royal gull
#

but Mage is my home

warped crow
#

nvm lel

#

LOL

warped crow
royal gull
#

It is still 1 action per key press if you queue inputs

#

It just executes the next action the moment you're not animation locked

#

It makes the game feel clunky as hell not doing this, I can't think of a single other action RPG that doesn't queue inputs

warped crow
#

not even poe does skill queueing

royal gull
#

This also explains some of the clunk I was experiencing when playing Runemaster

#

Building runes -> spending

signal iron
#

yea, if it was instant then could actually feel like invoker

royal gull
#

I'm 100% positive PoE will queue your inputs

warped crow
#

it doesnt

#

as someone who played alot of poe

#

it doesnt

royal gull
#

I will install it and test just to be sure because maybe you are misunderstanding what I'm saying

#

I don't remember it ever feeling this clunky

warped crow
#

because you can scale action speed in poe to finish skills and start the next one smoother

#

and you can do that here too

royal gull
#

So when you press a new input while animating your last skill in PoE, you're saying it doesn't queue that input and immediately execute it

warped crow
#

nope you press button it does attack ... new attack doesnt queue while the old one is in action

royal gull
#

I'll be done reinstalling in about 15 minutes, will report back

warped crow
#

k

hollow arrow
#

wtf is this first cuckoo lmao

safe grail
#

kinda based lmfao

royal gull
#

Ok PoE absolutely does queue your inputs

#

I can press Wave of Conviction or Flame Wall while casting the other and it will immediately cast the next as soon as the first animation finishes

#

I can piano the keys and it will cast both

#

Like less than .3 seconds between presses

#

It won't accept near-simultaneous inputs, but there is absolutely a buffer where it will queue your inputs

sturdy summit
royal gull
#

How in the ever loving f did the devs leave this out? It explains SO MUCH about the game feeling "off" the entire time I've been playing it

#

This is such a basic thing, I know the game is lacking a lot of polish compared to its peers with insanely larger budgets, but this is just .. this is a fundamental flaw in the game

pale cedar
#

Anyone potentially know if the rune master legendary idols (3% chance per int for 33% increased elemental damage on 3 rune invocations) are multiplicative or additive?

sturdy summit
#

or do you mean the 3% chance?

#

that's probably also additive

pale cedar

#

Feel free to add your two cents if anyone else can't believe this game doesn't have input buffering

@barren pawn so are you a majority? You know what it is because you're a hardcore player

barren pawn
#

if the majority cared, itd come up more often./

#

but we dont

royal gull
#

The majority don't know what input buffers are

barren pawn
#

and no, not a hardcore player by any means

royal gull
#

You're not a "majority", hardcore players aren't a majority

#

You're a Nitro Booster, you're more hardcore than most

#

Also aren't people linking a build you published in here, like even just today?

#

I don't mean literal in-game hardcore, I mean you're an extremely serious player

barren pawn
#

Im a nitro booster as a meme.

#

I am literally a meme player

royal gull
#

While I'm glad you don't mind the lack of input buffer and enjoy the game so much, it would only make the game better if it was in the game

#

Saying "I don't need it so nobody does" isn't helpful

barren pawn
#

My entire build is a meme to 90% of the playerbase and actual harcore players

safe grail
#

bother =/= need

barren pawn
#

I just think there are far more important things they need to focus on, then adding in input buffer to satisfy a small percentage of people that care

royal gull
#

In the context of someone asking for it

#

It effects literally everyone, not a small percentage of players

barren pawn
#

if it affects everyone, why isnt it broguht up often?

royal gull
#

Anyone who has ever tried to use a movement / traversal skill and felt like the game ate their input has been affected by this

#

Because .. and I already explained this .. most people don't understand what input buffering is as a concept and therefore can't explain what the problem is

#

They just know Path of Exile and Diablo feel more responsive, they don't understand the technology jargon behind why

#

Even when I explained it in Feedback the first person to respond thought I was talking about Macros

#

Or something, idk what they thought, but they didn't understand what an input buffer is in this context

barren pawn
#

people that dont know what it is would still say " why doesnt the game feel as responsive "

#

because theyd notice it feels less responsive than other games that include it

#

the fact that they dont, and it doesnt come up very often, kinda just shows people dont mind

royal gull
#

They might, and they might doubt themselves because when they aren't in combat and can press their buttons and click their mouse in a stress-free situation it doesn't seem like anything is wrong

#

They second guess themselves as a result and just ignore it

#

Control is the most important thing in any of these games, if your character control doesn't feel good you don't have a good game

barren pawn
#

character control feels fine tho?

royal gull
#

It carries Diablo 4 pretty hard honestly, combat control feels tight and responsive at all times, the horse is the only part that ever felt awkward and they've fixed that by letting you crash barriers

safe grail
#

idg how we went from input buffering to character control?

Input bufferings primary usage in these games is for skill queueing

#

not movement.

barren pawn
#

^

safe grail
#

if anything input buffering would make movement WORSE

#

cause you'd hit 'D' to go right and it'd lag

royal gull
#

I'm thinking of movement skills in particular

safe grail
#

yeah no still.;

#

input buffering would make that

#

god awful

barren pawn
#

The lack of skill queing affects such a negligible difference to the majority of players anyways

royal gull
barren pawn
#

WoW is a very good example of how input ques affect shid

safe grail
#

in fact, input buffering would feel even worse because servers aren't sharded

#

you can literally go to EU in the NA and it's all one giant layer

#

even just going like

#

coast to coast would feel absolutely horrid.

royal gull
#

I don't think I follow your issue, you press the button while your skill is animating, it just starts the next skill immediately once the previous animation ends, if anything it would help people with lag since the input window is more forgiving

barren pawn
#

let me also further add:
input que / buffer enables botting to a massive degree

safe grail
#

all input buffering is, is essentially artificial lag at its core right;

Enabling that while trying to go to a server w/ more ping just compounds the lag.

royal gull
#

Are you talking about macros? How would an input buffer make bots better? Bots don't need it because they can do everything precisely on a script

safe grail
#

input buffering allows bots to avoid detection better (it's not foolproof)

#

cause you can code in randomness

barren pawn
royal gull
#

I feel like if you were right and it is both unnecessary and just makes bots better, the competition would not feature it

safe grail
#

Runescape is a solid example of this actually.

#

tick rate in RS allows bot scripts/programs to code randomness into the task

barren pawn
#

^

royal gull
#

I dont know why you're talking about games that aren't Diablo or PoE since those games are better comparisons

safe grail
#

because you based your argument on the same

royal gull
#

I wasn't talking about WoW, I was talking about the direct competition to this game

#

I gave an example that other genres also feature it, but the real point is this is the only major diablo-like that doesn't have it

safe grail
#

But it's the same concept because D4 was built w/ WoW in mind originally.

royal gull
#

I don't understand what you're saying

barren pawn
#

I extremely dislike the fact that you just called this a " diablo like "

royal gull
#

Well I could say action RPG but that is a bit too broad of a brush

#

You could call WoW an action RPG

barren pawn
#

are we really gonig to boil arpgs down to " dia....

#

you did not jhust say that

#

you did NOT just say that

royal gull
#

This is directly a response to the lineage of games directly descended from Diablo

#

And don't even pretend this isn't exactly that

#

Diablo was inspired by roguelikes and ended up inventing an entirely new genre

#

Roguelikes were games inspired by Rogue so it makes sense this is a Diablolike

barren pawn
#

Except diablo isnt even the first game of its style?

safe grail
#

I'll leave the argument here with this statement to explain;

WoW is simply the easiest comparison as it has been around for so long and seen SO many iterations of implementation, net code, server architecture etc. Hell, even when they dropped classic wow, we saw things like modern input buffering/tick rates put into there.

barren pawn
#

diablo didnt start arpgs

royal gull
#

It doesn't have to be the first to be the most popular

#

Diablo is what created the cultural impact that mainstreamed its gameplay

barren pawn
#

im out. Between that and you saying WoW can be called an arpg, i have no further desire to continue this discussion.

royal gull
#

Probably for the best, I don't feel like I've gained anything from this

Everyone always forgets ultima existed before Diablo

#

sadge.

barren pawn
#

etc

royal gull
#

Diablo was not comparable to Ultima 😛

tardy comet
#

What’s the point of this a to b to c

royal gull
#

I don't really know any more

tardy comet
#

It don’t really matter, what matters it’s dev team being responsive to their community in a timely manner

royal gull
#

I'm just not playing Last Epoch again until it has input buffering and now I'm a bit unmoored since playing LE was my plan for today

tardy comet
#

lol why not just play arpg with it instead

royal gull
#

It made me susceptible to random internet arguments

royal gull
# tardy comet lol why not just play arpg with it instead

Got it in one, but Diablo Season 4 is still a few weeks off, and PoE 2 isn't out yet, so yeah I'm going to have to go to something else for now like Death Must Die or Halls of Torment or Backback Battles or one of the 10 boomer shooters I haven't finished yet

tardy comet
#

Go to the PTR?

royal gull
#

I went to do that and it wanted another entire 90gb install 😦 I didn't have room

tardy comet
#

Delete LE. lol

royal gull
#

I could, but LE is only like 30gb or less? I forget, but install size is definitely an advantage LE has

#

I like having it installed so that when patches hit I see it and I can find out the moment it has input buffering 😄

barren pawn
#

it wont get it. mikes response shouldve made that obvious tbh

royal gull
#

Maybe not until Cycle 2, but I still want to hold out hope

safe grail
#

??????????????????

barren pawn
#

Why would it get it in cycle 2? Mikes response is pretty clear its not coming

safe grail
#

they are not going to provide dev resources

#

if there is anything that has been abundantly made clear about LE

#

is that it is an MVP (minimally viable product)

royal gull
#

They have an immensely larger budget now to make the game better than they did before, who knows what will happen in the next year

safe grail
#

functions like you're talking about are something that would come WAY later.

#

yeah nah

#

they are going to fix core functions

#

do balancing

barren pawn
#

^

royal gull
#

I consider this a core function 😛

barren pawn
#

well its not

safe grail
#

literally everything else before they even remotely touch that lol

royal gull
#

I think most devs would

#

If they don't care then I just don't need to play LE

barren pawn
#

imma go ahead and pull this card now, are you a dev tho?

safe grail
#

....for fightning games maybe

tardy comet
#

lol

safe grail
#

lel

barren pawn
#

LEs devs clearly dont care

tardy comet
#

That’s a protagonist mind set

royal gull
#

That is one guy

tardy comet
#

😭😭

barren pawn
royal gull
#

Fighting games and every other competitor this game has

safe grail
#

do you know what the required antithesis of input buffering would be?

royal gull
#

Such a strawman comment, get real

barren pawn
#

You are like.. the literal only person i have ever seen bring this up

safe grail
#

that has clearly not been brought up since this debate began?

royal gull
#

Yeah because most people don't know what it is, you have the perspective of a diehard fan so you've already accepted things the way they are

safe grail
#

you CANNOT have input buffering without action cancelling.

barren pawn
#

if it genuinely bothers you so much, and does have you nto wanting to play, then just go

safe grail
#

which is, a whole other set of coding and animations

royal gull
#

You literally do have it in Diablo and PoE, they don't cancel their animations

barren pawn
#

" die hard fan " Ask ex.

#

I am not a diehard fan.

#

Far from it.

safe grail
#

yeah and it's completely stupid to not have that lol

#

ill stand on that hill til i die

royal gull
#

What???

tardy comet
safe grail
#

Diablo and POE having input buffering but you can't animation cancel?

tardy comet
#

Cause I don’t feel like it does

royal gull
#

I just installed PoE and double checked, it absolutely does

#

You can queue up 2 spells and it will cast the 2nd spell after the first with no delay

tardy comet
#

I feel like LE skills transition smoother than PoE

tardy comet
#

Sometime you have to input dash

royal gull
#

The point is, you don't have to wait for the previous skill to end, to input what you want your character to do next

tardy comet
#

???

safe grail
#

yeah i can wholeheartedly say that if LE introduced Input buffering over any other fix/improvement, i'd hard question the motives of the devs and what they are remotely thinking lol

barren pawn
#

I can cast flameward, and teleport even if im currently channeling.

#

which is an active skill use

safe grail
#

like if they left the gold exploit unfixed and then went "hey guys, you can now queue your skills in 1.1!" i'd hard drop this game lmao

barren pawn
#

^

#

Id like to see them finish the damn story first.

tardy comet
#

We can still do the numlock bot?

barren pawn
#

p;roperly balance the game so that their corr range for viable is actually the corr range for viable

#

and a myriad of more important things

royal gull
#

idk what kind of investment in time and resources you think it would take to do this, but it wouldn't be that hard

safe grail
#

wait isnt the whole argument predicated on the fact that there are APM intensive builds to begin with?

#

when ARPG communities do literally the opposite?

#

that's why plasma orb isnt popular lol

#

and why skill nodes like immutable order is popular

#

people in ARPGs want to streamline what they press and when they press it, they dont want to think about action queueing

tardy comet
#

I thought arpg 1-2 button games lol

safe grail
#

ya exactly

#

like i want to hit as little buttons as possible.

tardy comet
#

That’s why the lich detonate zombies seemed so complex

royal gull
#

I'm getting some real headass arguments now so I'm just gonna check out

safe grail
#

to do the most i can

#

have a pleasant evening.

tardy comet
safe grail
#

i actually enjoyed this debate.

#

that's all. lol

safe grail
#

lmao

tardy comet
#

Shi is one press

royal gull
# safe grail i actually enjoyed this debate.

Fine then. Even if you want to hit as few buttons as possible, don't you want your Teleport or whatever to come out the moment you possibly can?

Channels are a special case that they can be interrupted by other skills, so no, they don't need a buffer since you don't usually use them in short animations like say a Rune Master would trying to build 3 different elements to Invoke

#

I am bothered by the "doesn't everyone want a 1 button build anyway" type comments, that is just trolling

#

Tape down your 1 button I guess if that is your idea of fun

safe grail
#

It's not trolling though. It's legitimate feedback that I have heard in content on youtube while researching builds/mechanics for this game

tardy comet
#

Idk why you feel different

royal gull
#

It is not any more or less responsive than any other skill

#

Because no skills in this buffer

tardy comet
#

It’s more responsive than PoE

safe grail
#

and i will be one of the probaby few folks to say it; I do not have faith that EHG could implement this without MASSIVELY breaking everything else

royal gull
#

It certainly is not and you're insane for thinking so

tardy comet
#

Man

barren pawn
royal gull
#

This is like... a few lines of code to implement, then a few more to decide how the netcode handles it, this is a baked-in feature of most code packages used in stock engines

#

I'm not a game dev myself no, but I do have a degree in computer science 😛

barren pawn
tardy comet
royal gull
#

Well if everyone just wants one button builds that they hold down until the map is clear then I guess this isn't the game for me

#

I don't know if you've seen PoE 2 but they're explicitly showing off how all of their skills synergize and flow into each other in super interesting ways that look extremely fun to use

royal gull
#

I've modded games, not developed, I understand how code works 😛

barren pawn
#

Then you should know how much of a royal pita it is to change code for a large scale program, and not have it screw over something else.

royal gull
#

I mean I've started some small projects, but nothing I would consider worth qualifying me as a "game dev" specifically

safe grail
#

As a PM even I know how obnoxious it is to do new implementation lmao

royal gull
#

Crossbow mercenary dude in PoE 2 looks incredibly sick, watch that preview if you haven't already because it really shows what is possible in this genre

safe grail
#

and i dont even code.

barren pawn
#

and now weve moved onto PoE2

royal gull
#

Yeah, the direct competition to this game

#

A game that has the thing I'm talking about and is better for it

barren pawn
#

cant be direct competition if its not even out.

#

thats not how economics works 😂

royal gull
#

PoE 1 also has it, 2 is just better in every way and one way it is better is by trying to move away from 1 button builds 🙂

safe grail
#

yeah games moving away from minimal button builds is actually detrimental to accessibility lol

royal gull
#

but maybe you're right and this game should focus on people who can't handle the idea of a "builder / spender" and Runemaster was a mistake

barren pawn
#

I like one button builds though, its more efficient

#

and more accessible

royal gull
#

This game is sold as the middle ground between PoE and D4, some accessibility is lost when you aim for any degree of complexity

safe grail
#

i'm going to sleep. i have to go the office tomorrow (ew)

royal gull
#

Sorry to hear that Ex

#

Sucks for LE to be the middle ground between 2 bigger games and control worse than either 😛

barren pawn
#

To you.

#

it controls worse to you.

royal gull
#

Input buffering is a purely positive thing if done like the competition has

#

It would not make the game worse for anyone, and it would feel better for most

barren pawn
#

If it felt that much worse than you claim it does, why isnt " this game controls so poorly " a much more brought up topic?

royal gull
#

PoE did it so well half the people arguing with me don't even realise it has it

barren pawn
#

One. ONE dude said poe doesnt have it

royal gull
#

They're the second

#

🙂

#

Scroll up, I had to install PoE just to prove it does for the last person

barren pawn
#

No, no i dont think i will.

royal gull
#

I mean fair enough

barren pawn
#

Im done with the discussion

royal gull
#

I thought you were minutes ago 😮

barren pawn
#

You are focusing on the completely wqrong thing for this game

royal gull
#

I'm focusing on the most important thing in a real time action game, control of your character

barren pawn
#

Characters. Control. Just. Fine.

#

If they didnt youd have ALOT of people saying they dont

royal gull
#

If you're only into one button builds then yeah it isn't such a big deal, I agree with that, and I agree you're probably right that a lot of people want 1 button builds because they're lazy and don't get bored by them as easily as I do, but it is also possible that some people want 1 button builds because they tried a builder / spender and it didn't feel good

#

They couldn't explain why, they tried a 1 button build instead, that felt better, so they stopped thinking about it

#

With that, I will stop thinking about LE. Godspeed you beautiful 1 button bstards

pseudo verge
#

Isnt poe 1 button builds also?

#

I dont think a skill queue would feel any different here, you always just want X amount of castspeed or AS to make some builds feel good

robust gorge
#

im late on this, but top ssf build is ignite dd, which is two buttons

#

top sc build is coc dd, which is one button lol

tardy comet
#

Lol

#

fyi sera said he just wants to argue just to argue

stiff crown
#

I like it when I use Flame Rush and let go to stop at a certain point, but the game decides I need to go twice as far and I end up dying because of it. Skill issue.

robust gorge
#

i wish i knew exactly why it happened

stiff crown
whole moat
#

Is the main benefit going frostbite frost claw over ignite frost claw the cc from freeze?

imagine carring what other people play. just mistifies me, guess I'm a boomer now. (turning 35 this year).

tardy comet
nocturne charm
#

it's incredible really how such a small team can deliver what LE has. Enough OT from me at least.

mint pine
#

Are stun and freeze animations identical?

#

is this a bug? I've played to level 86 without seeing a single frozen enemy

hardy loom
#

no lol

#

stun is a swirling circle on their head

#

freeze is just.. frozen

#

should looked like what frozen looks like in every sense of the word
