Foaming at the mouth, are you saying I’m rabid instead of acknowledging you talked about world of Warcraft in a direct reply to me asking what Diablo 4 copied from Last Epoch?
First you go off topic, then you lie, then you gaslight, then lie some more.
Bro, you need help.
Edit and added again: could you at the very least answer the question I posed in the message you replied to first? Because I never replied to you until you replied to me.
This is amazing. I knew you were a little off, but oh man. You’re more tilted than the leaning tower of pisa.
You need to calm down before you bust a capillary.
How about no. I addressed the bit I wanted to. Nobody has any obligation to indulge every detritus that spews out of your brain.
I’m calm, heart rate is at 52 BPM. I’m just confused why you won’t actually answer the question you replied to.
Edit (added again): if you’re going to add more to your post after I replied then why not just reply instead? Would be easier for people to track the progress here.
As for you talking about obligations… if you reply to a question you are volunteering your time to answer that question. It’s nonsensical and quite disturbing that you won’t actually provide an answer. Why would you bother replying to a question if you had no intention to answer it?
Agreed copy D2 instead
I quoted you, but replied to the thread.
This is an example of someone directly responding to you. See your face in the corner with an arrow.
When you quote someone that asked a question or made an inquisitive statement… you are replying to them. Forum mechanisms are irrelevant but also support my statements. If you had quoted me and said “I don’t know” or “they copied [something]” or “they never will” then you’d have answered.
Think about conversation, if you were at the water cooler and someone says “I still don’t know why the Bengals didn’t do better last season”, an appropriate reply based on verbal clues and context would be something like “well their quarterback got injured”.
If you chimed in to that same conversation with “it looks good in France this time of year” then you’d be both off topic and foolish. An answer of “the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins had a concussion last year” would be closer because at least it’s about football but it’s also wrong and irrelevant.
That’s how your answer to me was. You didn’t reply to anyone else in that reply where you directly quoted me. Even if you felt you’re replying to the thread, you still quoted only one person (me) and the forum mechanics treat it as a reply by alerting me with a reply arrow in my notifications.
In conclusion, both the mechanics of the forum and conversational behaviors support that you replied to me specifically.
And as you’re now acknowledging: you deliberately chose not to answer the inherent question, even though you replied solely to me.
Edit added: also now having replied directly to you I do not see your face in the corner of my reply. So it seems the forum mechanic you mention is not consistent anyway.
The Bengals modus operandi is copying plays off other teams, this time they chose Tampa Bay, who have the worst win/loss record in the NFL.
This is approximately what I said. Perhaps you’ll understand it this time around. Unlikely, but I can’t lose hope.
You wanted specific examples.
I don’t care.
I want a million dollars handed to me by Taylor Swift in a rabbit costume. Neither of us is getting what we want.
Blizzard should copy more from other games. Not less.
Focusing on innovation can be good, in some games.
In other games, you should focus way more on getting the basics right. Tbh, all A-RPGs basically belong in this currently. The fundamentals are rarely good enough in any of them.
Once upon a time, Blizzard was the masters of copying and polishing. Would be great to return to that.
And Poe just did there version on n/m affix’s, so yes all games take inpiration from other games, because it’s the process of creation, every game does this, did no mans sky invent base building?
What ever sparks a good idea and putting their spin on it is progress. The somewhat nerfing of there original ideas, is more worrying and can’t wait to see how it feels in game.
Those are more likely to be potentially a problem than something born out of inspiration.
Now if there literally erase there vision and make it play and feel exactly like every other arpg out there, that is bad. I hope they look at poe necropolis for inspiration on improving n/m dungeons and new seasonal content, as that feels more diablo than constructs. I liked we got traps,(dislike some design) i liked malphas and vaults, but little annoying construct bugs and scorpions i dislike. and the over obsession with lightning lol.
Poe prison trap run labyrinth or whatever it is, feels more in vibe with D4 than Constructs you know. The more gothic flavour is what i am getting at, went from dark S2 to S3 ultimately i don’t like the tone. I like the traps in OW the summon brazier, but sick to death of swarms of construct bugs with no variety in units.
But you weren’t talking about the Bengals in the example. I never mentioned Blizzard or WoW. You added them to the conversation. You were the person that mentioned the Dolphins in my example.
Tell me, which company owns:
Diablo
Hearthstone
HeroesoftheStorm
TheLostVikings
Overwatch
Starcraft
Warcraft
WorldofWarcraft
?
D4 did’t copy anything, as a game is not sentient, and has no autonomy. So clearly Blizzard, the company who published Diablo 4 is the guilty party.
I said
This directly addresses your question.
Shadout says the same thing here.
Unless of course, you think D4 is a sentient autonomous thing that copies other games. If that is the case, then wow. You should see someone.
Blizzard is clearly not up to the task of spontaneously creating winning content/systems for D4. If copying other games is the best they can do, I’ll take it. I don’t feel like investing in another arpg, so whatever it takes to make this one stop sucking and get fun.
Sure not from d4. People would have quit after the first 3 quests.
Those 3 were replaced by another 3.
I was all in but you lost me at rabbit costume.
Oh snap it’s Easter, well okay then I guess that’s in line, but if you got them three wishes dude you know…and you went with rabbit costume?
I’m messing with you.
Google “bunny girl” , hit images, and be enlightened.
Blizzard is at their best when they take things from other games and reimagine them and improve them and make them more fun and accessible.
They fall flat when trying to innovate and create.
I hope they steal ideas from all ARPGs and make them better. Honestly would like to see the Grim Dawn shrine system in D4.
You must be new to blizz. They could famously take inspiration from other games, with their own unique touch on it. Also the forgeing potential and adding stats to an item is not a new thing, LE didn’t do it first. Also how many other studios copied blizzards ideas? Like all the other ARPGs out there?
Maybe OP was very young or wasn’t even born.
The arpg idea itself is not even that original, the main thing was the real time combat was a first. the rest is all a alteration of dnd and other games. So it can all be traced back to something.Like that.
