Played MMORPGs

My guess is it's just because the features would look super alien in the hyper-realistic animation they have going. For a promotional involving elves is probably better to have them be more like Tolkien's really attractive humans with pointy ears rather than aliens with inhumanly long and angular faces and overly large eyes. - I'm not even sure its that, because to my knowledge that just refers to CGI that no matter how good it looks, always feels wrong. I mean that how TES elves would 'realistically' look would be far more alien then we generally think because of how things are stylized in the videogame. If you're familiar with the series, think of how elves are in Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition vs Origins and how they got criticized initially for looking almost like aliens. That is how (at least most) elves would look like in TES from our perspective. Their faces are far too long and angular, eyes too big, generally too scrawny or lithe unless they're...

Afraid of burning out, I want to start next league with a character that can reach maps with a comfortable speed and scale well into endgame, all the way to Uber Elder. Since BV got buffed considerably, I'm most likely going for Chieftain (or Ascendant, although Chieftain means tons of defenses and easy 100% conversion). The bow choice is because you can get easy 80%+ spell damage thanks to essences, as well as a 6L on top of Kaom's Heart. The Signal Fire as quiver gives you 100% fire conversion as well, which is pretty cool. Anyway, I'm not too worried about the build's capabilities for Uber Lab, or red maps, but I'm concerned about Guardians, Shaper, and Uber Elder. 1. Especially with a phys spell shaper stat sticks are so damn good, if you want a ton of life belly is still a solid option, but while running BV inpulsas seems like such an easy clear speed up. The biggest problem I see is the missing mana leech, warlords+blasphemy almost seems like a must. A...

Every time there's a new batch of unique items that come out, my first thought is how I could make some of these items shine enough to become a build of their own. This many hours in, I've played everything that was of interest to me. However, these past few leagues I've slowed down. Not out of boredom, but there just wasn't that "little something" to keep me interested. Originally I thought it was just me being burnt out, but I realized it was the fact that it didn't really matter what I picked anymore. If I wanted to clear T15 maps, I could slap on any skill or spell, use incredibly generic items, get an arbitrarily "ok" amount of EHP and I'd be golden. I work in game design and I've considered things like the fact that the game was essentially "solved". Things like PoB would exacerbate that fact. But if you look a little deeper, it's all a blurr. Regardless of the skill you use, you hardly ever get to truly interact w...

Bestiary crafting gave a way for GGG to provide ANY content in the game without limiting it to Zana mods/divination cards. Better yet, this is something you could target farm with a little know-how. GGG is trying to add something that isn't just another Breach. Density creep seems to be all the community really asks for anymore. It provided tons of cool things such as: Flask crafting- remember spending all your alts to try and hit that Chemist's of Heat flask, only to message 10 afk people and end up buying it for 10c? Imprinting of blue items - super nice having multiple chances to hit that regal on your dream item Remove/Add Prefix Suffix - annul/exalt in one! Adding a specific stat to an item while preserving prefixes/suffixes - INSANE crafting potential. It can be argued that this was way too strong and huge power creep, as it allowed for much cheaper crafting of godly items. It did have a downside of potentially bricking your item by locking affixes. You also did ...
