In the party menu. You have to be the leader to set the loot. If you're joining public parties that is what the little symbol means off to the side. Green=perm, yellow=short, and I'm guessing FFA is red, but I've never seen it. | ||

You got a point, however I think PoE has become so much worse over time. Desync has gotten worse, lag has gotten worse (especially great combined with Dominus fight), random crashes, new gems make some old builds obsolete (why go full discharger when you can have discharge + cast on crit and run whatever build to get crits? All you need is crit nodes for discharge anyway). This game has become so much more simplified by removing IIQ, too. Did I mention lag? As if cyclone and so on weren't bad enough, cast on X makes it worse. I've quit this game for good. No point in coming back when this game is becoming worse and worse over time. Even 16 new classes or 50 new acts can't make me get over the fact that this game started as a D2 clone and whenever it tries to innovate, it fails big time. The Dominus fight? Clearly inspired by Baal and the room before Baal in LoD. But that fight somehow was so much more fun. It's not that I've gotten too old. I played D2 earlier this year and had a lot of fun. PoE was okay for a long time and then, when I got excited about release, shattered my hopes. Farewell, PoE. P.S.: I had gotten over my leveling problems I stated earlier, haha. But crashing 5 times during Dominus cruel, including over after the fight when I tried entering the portal, simply was too much. | ||

But crashing 5 times during Dominus cruel, including over after the fight when I tried entering the portal, simply was too much. I agree with you man. I think PoE is alot worse now than it was in open beta. Some of the patches just made the game alot worse. But I still think it's the best game out there, simply due to a lack of other options. All other games are complete trash, there isn't a single game other than PoE that I consider worth playing, this has been the case for me for almost 5 years. The only series I remotely enjoyed playing in the past 5 years were the Mass Effect games, but ME3 was a huge disappointment aswell (not just because of the ending). NWN2 was the last truly amazing game that I played and when did that come out... 2007? If it wasn't for PoE I probably wouldn't even be playing games anymore at all. edit: And it's definitely not nostalgia or because we are too old, it's just that today's games cater to a demographic that I personally cannot identify with. This casualization of games is a problem that is evident in any good series that ever came out. Just look at the development from Morrowind to Skyrim. Morrowind was a fantastic game, Oblivion and Skyrim were both garbage (tough I think Oblivion was easily the worst TES game ever made, by a landslide). Part of it has to do with the fact that publishers pressure game developers to release their games as soon as possible, there is so much less fine-tuning and detailed work that goes into games nowadays, because everyone just wants to maximize their profit. Just look at games like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, huge games and while playing these games you could really feel how much hard work and love was put into these games, today's games however feel unrefined and more like pre-releases than full games. And the fact that most games have post-release patches en masse actually proves that point. Aaaand I'm rambling again | ||

Skillsystem is nothing like d2, models and world are completly different, item system is similar but also different. Some features are really the same (the tab-map for example). But hell, this is called a genre. SWToR was more like WoW than PoE is like D2 imho. Whatever, I personally feel PoE is a really great game. One of the very few. And I think it does a lot of things right that d2 did wrong (and I really love d2, stands on rank 2 of my favourite games of all time; edit: no PoE isn't rank 1, just in case if this comes to someones mind...it's a contender for the top10 I think). Obviously it does some things wrong. There is no game without flaws. But there are little flaws compared to what is good in the game and that is what matters to me. | ||

Desync didn't get worse, lags not either imo. Disconnects happen fairly frequently lately (simply cuz of the massively bigger server load), but still only 1 per 3-4 hours or so at max. I'm sure I'll soon get bored again, but hopefully races will be back before! EDIT: Although I don't like some of the new monsters... The leaping frogs and the guys that deal damage on death are so deadly on Merciless ... | ||

Some of the same people are making Grim Dawn, which is in alpha at the moment. Sins of a Solar Empire, while not an aRPG, is an incredibly deep RTS. My point is that there ARE good games being made. | ||

I have the GD alpha too, just not a huge fan of the setting, but I'll play it once it's a little more refined. And I played SoaSE didn't really like it tbh, I much prefer Galactic Civ. 2 tbh. | ||

Still grinded a lot in Single Player. In retrospect though I have to say the combat was pretty clunky and that aspect of TQ hasn't improved much in GrimDawn, I tried the Soulvizier mod for TQ a few months ago and didn't enjoy it much, mainly because the combat in TQ seemed so much worse than I remembered it. Everything else in the game was great, loot, crafting, design, boss fights... were all excellent. Great memories. On October 28 2013 03:59 jeeeeohn wrote: Hmm, good times! I personally couldn't get enough of Egypt (was it act 2 or 3?), and China, while too short, was awesome too. Greece was nice, but just a tad too long, lol. Still haven't played the expansion, gotta get around to that after I build my computer. Yeah if you guys ever wanna play some multiplayer, I still have a lvl 40 char in Soulvizier, but I would be willing to level a new character with you guys.

Last I played it was Lightning Strike > Weapon Elemental Damage > Faster Attacks > Pierce > Multistrike and then either Mana Leech, Life Leech or something else like you said. Thiough, Pierce is not necessary if the Lightning Strike gem has high quality. I somehow forgot LMP... Probably necessary too! edit: Failed to notice he said Crit build... then I'd go: Lightning Strike, Lesser Multiple Projectiles, Faster Attacks, (Pierce), Increased Critical Multiplier, Multistrike, Increased Critcal Strikes in that order | ||
