This is such an amazing game if you stop meta chasing

Seriously, if you go slower,
stop joining parties that want to blast through everything at lightspeed,
stop envying YT videos blasting faster,
and most importantly stop one-shotting bosses,
it's an amazing game in every way.

From a game developers perspective, you spend all your hard work, designing something challenging, and it IS sad, that so many people rejoice and celebrate in insta-deleting that content.

They KNEW about LS, and primal strikes, and wind serpent. They set it up for you, for you to discover. So imagine their reaction with all the initial QQ about "spears no damage waaah". And now "LS meta so boring waaah". I dunno man, if I was GGG I'm just shaking my head at the masses.

BTW the white mob meme on reddit was funny but also true. The monsters in this game deserve a fighting chance, because they are really well made.

Your argument would have value if LS isn't the only viable build to progress. Any other builds are just an errand.

Not everyone is a masochist like you who enjoy enduring this abomination which is 0.2. We play the game to have fun, apparently its not part of the vision.

This is a game, not a job.

and we would like to enjoy it because it doesn't deserve where it is...

You can't enjoy something because you can't delete shit fast enough?

There are so many ways to clear this game effectively.
yes some are better than others, so what...
I really do think people are just

too
obsessed
with
blasting
super
fast

and YT view counts are so skewed that way.

If I do what you're saying, I wouldn't play this game at all.

I want to insta-delete content with proper build. And delete it faster and faster. That's what fun for me, that's what was fun in Diablo II (this game claims to be it's successor).



700 sanctums on insta-deleting the boss and 200% or so movement speed. Was super fun.

Unless you mean "play the campaign and skip the endgame"

Yeah campaign is fine if you just do it once (such as Dark Souls/Elden Ring game where you kill last boss and done)

The problem is this is supposed to be ARPG with infinite endgame

I refuse to use guides. Made my own warrior and I am so happy. I enjoy endgame and looking forward to try new things.


I made smith of kitava. One handed, all rounder with tankiness and offence. I break armor, do AOE stuff, got 1k Regen and do good enough perfect strikes. Yeah, I do not clear screen with one button. I don't want to. I have fun.

It would be difficult to imagine a comment more perfectly illustrating OP's point.

All of this just comes down to this word "viable." You all use it constantly and talk about how there's only one "viable" build but your definition of viability seems to be "I'm able to clear content as fast and efficient as any other build," which is just an insane expectation that no amount of design and balancing work is likely ever going to achieve so you're just setting yourself up to be constantly angry and disappointed.

I played an "off-meta" build in 0.1 that everyone said was "not viable" and I had a f'ing blast. I had no trouble clearing all pinnacle content through max difficulty and I always had enough currency to upgrade my gear and experiment with different strategies. Was I clearing as fast as Spark Stormreavers? Absolutely not, but guess how much I cared? Literally not at all because why the f would I waste my time thinking about it? The fact that there were faster builds than the one I was playing didn't make the game any less fun for me because, like OP said, that's just not how I define success or viability and if more of you would just focus on your own experiences with the game instead of constantly watching other people play and thinking about how you compare I promise many of you would be happier and less angry about everything all the time.

Do you really need more than one meta build. You click 1 or 2 buttons and blast trou skipping all mechanics. Whats the point of having several build doing the same thing? Thers a lot of build if variations and game mechanics is your thing. 100% agree with thread starter and way not let the blasters blast and the rest play the game as intended.
