Faustus2

Confusion confirmed Poor Achilles...

I'm glad we finally agree.

I did not misrepresent what he said. I quoted him, then commented on the exact words that came out of his mouth. You are misrepresenting me. A) Does not apply. You've deliberately misconstrued my "agenda". B) I understood.

You plucked a single sentence out of the middle of the paragraph and insisted that it said something that it couldn’t possibly mean within its context. That’s either obtuse or dishonest. At this point I don’t really care which. You obviously care because you need to keep calling me slanderous names. Dishonest? how does that apply to me? Obtuse? that's just you being mean. It's like saying, "You're stupid." Come on, Really?

Here you're just warping nothing into something to prove that you're right about me accusing Josh of saying something he didn't. All I did was say he said something and then quote what he said and comment about what he said.

I didn't accuse him of saying something he didn't. I quoted him verbatim. I think now that we've discussed my original post, it's not entirely clear what he meant by what he said; and what he meant to say by what he said is open to interpretation.

Full Disclosure of "My Agenda" I want to create a party mixing some single-class and some multi-class characters upon release of PoE2. I am hoping that one of these two types doesn't outshine the other. I have no intention of besmirching the developer. I think he and his staff are making an awesome game that i'm excited to play. I wish him continued success, health, and happiness. The game has not yet been released, therefore I am discussing the game with this forum in an effort to "pre-play" or prepare to play the game, in my imagination, for entertainment...

@JerekKruger I admit that the way he spoke (tenses), he could have been referencing the gameplay before they adjusted things to make it more balanced, and I hope you're right.

oh, so you ignored everything after that? Again: legitimately confused or pushing an agenda? I didn't hear anything referencing balances he made after that statement... only that they could continue to tune some of that stuff as time goes on. Then he rubbed his eye.

Maybe you're right. The past tense to me was the last time he played it, like, right before the Q&A. P.S. Should we pick one thread to discuss this on? (It is my fault we are on two)

You might be a good listener, but you don't seem to know the difference between past and present tense. Josh was talking about how they felt before the change. I'd go listen again. I believe you're mistaken.

Josh “admitted” to the possibility that certain multiclass combinations might be “really powerful” and subject to future tuning. Are you genuinely confused about what was said or are you pushing some agenda? I'm not confused. I'm a good listener. At ~21:30 Josh said, "Overall, playing multiclass, in my opinion, which is just my opinion, so certainly people can disagree with it, feels pretty good. Um, I think that single class felt like fairly far behind even though they had higher power level and access to more-to higher level abilities sooner, they still felt like they were kinda losing out because they just didn't have anywhere near the same number of abilities."

I just posted this in another thread (apologies). I'm also concerned @Stardusk78 Josh pretty much admitted in the Twitch Q&A (at around the 22 min mark) that multi-classing felt better than single-classing (with the exception of some combos).

Where the heck is the main thread for discussion about the epic twitch Q&A from yesterday? I couldn't find it so i'm posting here... At around the 22 minute mark of the video, Josh admitted to multi classing to be stronger than single classing... in general, certain weak multiclass combinations notwithstanding.

Gimme the Game already!!!!

Unfortunately, not me. April 5-8, correct? Looking forward to checking the streams...

Nudity Sells. I used the more common known phraseology for convenience. My point (in long form) is that nudity is in the game because it will add to the game's allure and more people will buy it rather than less people will buy it. Example: nudity or partial nudity, attractive models, and sexual innuendos are often used in marketing/advertising to draw more customers/consumers.

That's fine by me. What was the outcome of the funding project?

Sometimes it’s about not having fully clothed people in a bathhouse because someone might be offended by a naked butt. The desire to make money will overwhelmingly outweigh the feelings of the person(s) that might be offended by a naked butt.

Does this have to do with the pre-order bonus items (AKA The Captain's Footlocker)?

Nudity is included because Sex Sells. It's always about money, or sex. That's all.

What does "Spiritual Successor" mean anyhow? That doesn't sound like a game-designing term...

What I can't figure out is how on earth I keep getting addicted to games that aren't even released yet !?!

What's the best way to get my chosen picture's dimensions to the right size needed (210x330, 76x96, 90x141)
