You probably haven’t seen the threads that were posted after the mastery respec announcement that asked for a loadout/armoury style quick switch mechanic to more easily switch between builds. So it’s not a slippery slope, it’s an inevitability that if you make something easier some people will ask for more stuff to be made easier.
Hence, his comment isn’t paranoia because people have already asked for it.
Also, a sophism is a false argument deliberately used to decieve which isn’t the case. Heavy’s not posting this because he actually wants the opposite or he’s fucking with you or something, he’s genuinely concerned & it’s not an unreasonable concern. That’s why I disagree with sweeping his concerns aside as a sophism.
No, the monolith webs/corruption levels are still specific to characters. It’s just that the monos will be unlocked for other characters so you don’t need to slog through them all again, if you don’t want to.
PoE2 0.2.0 seems to be a dumpster fire, and you guys go on and drop THIS?
A cluster bomb of awesomeness.
While I personally disagree with mastery respec, I don’t really care all that much.
The rest however, are so good I think I depleted my approval reserves for months.
And with D4 and PoE2 so meh and PoE1 neglected I will have plenty of time to devote to LE.
The past few days all “hype” posts were published at the same exact time (5:59 PM, but I don’t know if that’s in my local time [I’m UTC+2] or not), so I guess patch notes will be released at that hour as well.
That’s literally a slippery slope argument, though. Just because we get X doesn’t mean we inevitably will get Y. People have asked for mastery respecs for years - Just because we’re getting them doesn’t mean we’re also going to get one-button swapping specs also… His exact words:
Like, you can’t deny that’s a slippery slope argument unless you’re choosing to just be obtuse for argument’s sake. Lol
According to Oxford:
soph·ism /ˈsäˌfizəm/ noun noun: sophism; plural noun: sophisms a fallacious argument, especially one used deliberately to deceive.
So, no, a sophism is a fallacious argument in general. The ‘especially’ is important in that definition.
Regardless, It’s fair to have the concerns, but Heavy’s post is definitely a slippery slope argument, and we can argue whether the definition of sophism fits his post or not.
Have you guys implemented any optimizations with the stash? When I have lots of tabs (like 10 to 15+) and I click the stash, the game freeze for 3 to 5 seconds before opening. Clicking between tabs has a 1-3 second delay as well.
That’s the point.
But to put it into perspective: That slope is veeeeery slippery
Because Class > Mastery > Build.
The class is the most fundamental aspect of your character.
The Mastery is a very fundamental aspect still, but not as much.
And the specific build? That one’s the least fundamental piece, most interchangeable after all.
So… why provide respec for mastery but no loadouts? Would make sense given changes would otherwise be a bother, right?
Yeah I was wrong… they made the gold cost WAAAAAYYY too cheap, sad to see to be honest, I had hoped 1 million gold would be a lower lever character but apperantly its at level 100 (basically nothing at that point)
