Dude, fucking WHAT?

I pop in a Xoph's Flawless Breachstone. Never done it before, wanted to try it. The normal ones were no problem.


I zone in... and my timer is 10 seconds to start with? Okay. That's new. Whatever, let's just clear as hard & fast as we can!


... Nope. These packs must have about 30 million HP, because it takes me way too long to kill them with my several million AoE burst damage. I only kill a few groups before my time runs out.


Okay, guess I don't get crap for loot at the end. Time to run all the way to the end of the map to fight the boss--




... What????? I don't even get to fight the boss??? I just fucking put in a map apparently worth about 4 Divines. I don't even get to attempt the boss, because I failed a trash clear speed check???

Dude. This game, at every possible turn, fucking slaps you in the face. THIS SHIT IS NOT GOOD. STOP DEFENDING THIS, YOU STOCKHOLME-RIDDLED COMMUNITY.




And I swear to god, if that one guy comes in here and tells me I should have read the Wiki, watched 10 Youtube videos, and datamined the game's coding and studied it over the last few months before deciding to undergo in another section of this game's content, I'm gonna GO the fuck off, my man.




Okay. It's out of my system. Cheers.

(Fuck this game though, for real.)

The game is ALPHA.

Ayyyyyy, bought a normal Xoph Breachstone because I'm just tryin' ta do my Mavens.

Mah main man Xoph dropped me a Blessing! He's got my back after GGG stabbed it.




YOU AIGHT, XOPH.

You aight.

This if my favorite type of thread. It's actually why I continue to come to this sewer of a form.

Dude fails at pinnacle content, then immediately rages on the forums, claims GGG stabbed him in the back, and finally rages that nobody should tell him to do the obvious, easy thing that would fix all his problems... Lol.

Ah. You're right again!

So I guess I was supposed to just randomly do a Wiki search on "resistance" because this item mentions resistance? Lmao.

Aaaaaaand he's back. 12 years and you still haven't learned to browse the Wiki before attempting rare and unknown content. Waiting for your next reply to tell us what unskilled noobs we all are and how you already know how everything works.

I mean I have to admit, threads like these are why I still check GD from time to time.

Damn, some weird replies in here. You guys are exposing yourselves so hard, lmao.

What did you expect to happen when you take your trash tier character to attempt uber content? Running flawless breachstones with that character of yours is like taking a bicycle to a formula 1 race and then complain you didn't get a price coming in dead last 3 hours after the race ended because you are so freaking slow.

We all know you hate learning but come on, this is ridiculous. If you rush blindly into content you don't know jackshit about it's obvious that stuff like that is gonna happen.

Very transparent and very easy. But you aren't worth the time.

OP is at least partially right on one thing, if they don't want to check the wiki before a new thing, they shouldn't. I don't because I like the surprise of something new. That's the part they're partially right on if that's how they want to play the game.

The coming here to complain about something you didn't know going in part is clearly wrong though. You can either be surprised, or you can read up before going in. Doing uber content and expecting to get it right without knowledge of the encounter is always going to end badly beforehand.

Now you know. The question is, how do you handle it (besides coming here to complain about it)?

Still super weird posts. The part you're right about is what did I expect.

Amotokai is the only one to pass the vibe check, holy crap, the rest of you need to get a grip. It must be exhausting living your life trying to look like a badass at every moment you're publicly seen.




...... [Decides to get into it]


Even if I check the Wiki, is that going to tell me how much HP the enemies have, and how dense the packs are going to be or not be? And then what? You say to watch a video? Sure hope that video posts a POB so I know what DPS the character in the video is doing, to scale. (They don't post POB's.)

Nothing replaces experiencing it. My complaint, by the way, is that I didn't even get to experience the boss and then lose to it. The game denied me anything at all. The map was over for me in about 30 seconds, and I never died. All I can even learn from that is, "I need to deal about twice as much damage before I could try this again." And, as a balanced build, I can't really do that. (As doing this would cost Mirrors at this point in my build.)




Uber Atziri doesn't have anything like that. You go in, and you can either beat the bosses in a fight, or you can't. There is no forced gear check. So EVEN in terms of "you tried pinnacle content with a trash character," yeah, sure. And I won! So the game already taught me that I can do this content. But alas - the game is super inconsistent, and needlessly punishing of the player for its own inconsistency.




You guys are so desperate to look cool, you aren't even able to register valid points OR humorous delivery; it's absolutely crazy. This community is blasted. Look around at all the threads where people ask for help. Hundreds of views, but anywhere from zero to one helpful response. You all just sit around and look for someone to attack. So when I make myself an easy target by speaking out about the game's issues, you can't even see it for that. You just see it as FEEDING TIME! It's crazy AF. Take a step back and look at yourself in here.

... You're like the kids in school that read ahead of the class, thought you were smarter because of it, and raced the teacher in correcting the other students. But now that you're grown up, you sit in an online forum trying to treat people the way the bullies treated you in school.




Absolutely crazy.
