ReddPlanet dev came to the same decision. Gutted tbh. After more than 13 years I’m done for good with that place. Shoutout to all the 3rd party devs. You deserve better, and I hope you find success with any new project you might launch in the future.

No butterfly disney villains this time around.

Also, if I equip a staff that gives an INT boost, shouldn’t the damage I deal go up?

Int raises All Res in D4. You can see what each stat does by hovering over it.

A lot of your combat pain points are solvable with gear in endgame (effects still won’t be flashy tho). Pretty sure D2 early game consisted of chugging mana potions non-stop until you got the Tal Sth rune word for your helmet. Which really isn’t all that different from spamming Basic attacks until you get aspects and talents/skill in D4.

Honestly it sounds like you just wanted Diablo 2 (2023). Nothing wrong with that of course but I don’t quite understand why you wouldn’t play PoE then. That game strikes a good balance between modern and old school while also upholding the more hardcore nature of D2.

Agreed. I always felt like I had to add five different disclaimers to my comments to avoid bad faith arguments and angry responses. Wasn’t a fun experience at all and often lead to me just deleting comments.

If that doesn’t work try copypasting lemmy.one/c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz in your adress bar. That’s how I subscribe to global communities from my own instance since the search can be slow at times.

Sims patch notes are always a trip:

Sims can no longer “Try for Baby” with the Grim Reaper.

Sims who are on fire will no longer be forced to attend graduation before they can put themselves out.

Kleptomaniac Sims can no longer steal Subway stations from lots.

Fixed a tuning issue so that Sims now vomit at acceptable levels.
