literally every of his class guides were totally bullshit for the first couple of weeks in this season since he simply rushed them without actually playing the buildes himself and used completely nonsense of skills, passives and items. for exmaple F/R without any generator.
I already said, that I didn't stand for all the classes. The DH was mainly made by fst, killstepz and partly in cooperation with Philos.
I'm NOT a super-human, so stop think that. NOBODY is Perfect. I mainly stood for 2 classes, which alone is ALREADY A LOT. I stood for the CRUSADER and WIZARD builds, which turned out pretty good and I KEPT updating them the whole season which is why they are still top builds.
Also, REMEMBER the word THEORYCRAFTING. Many of the builds were theorycrafted ready to be tested out. On the paper it looked awesome and short tests as well, but optimization can always be made which takes WEEKS or MONTHS to do.
It's not like you can predict the future 100 % correct either right?
Anyways I stood only for 2 out of the 6 classes.
If you can do a better job this season, then PLEASE do so. Maybe your a super-human.
How about being thankful for something that was made for free for you, if your too good then do NOT use it. Stay away if you got nothing useful to say. Make your own thread named; "I love to flame and troll people, because I'm bored CLUB".
Fool / Trolls like you, is why the online gaming community is so toxic.
What a cop out, You posted the guides, so you were in the end responsible. Also some of the guides are you actually claiming you "stood" for were total garbage and obviously were not tested in game. Here is a link to an example.
The reason you are getting so much hate for these guides, is not because we don't think you have put effort a large amount of time into the community. It is because of the lack of quality in so many of the guides you have your name attached to. If it is because you do not have the time to actually play test a build, well then don't post a guide for it, or at least don't post it as being able to do a certain GR. When you really have no idea if it can or cannot do it. It seems like you stretched yourself too thin last season and tried to push out untested content for your followers.
I think most of us would rather have had you post guides for only stuff you have tested in game.
This season the "meta" is 4 different classes. That is a better than previous seasons.
The problem is not the "meta", it is not buffs and debuffs that classes have to share with the group.
The problem is the community. There are too many "sheep" just following what they see on the leaderboards and think it is the only way to play.
I play with 3 other friends and none of us wanted to play support. So we don't, yet still have managed to make it to GR 90 and could push higher if we fished. That is higher than 90% of the playerbase is doing.
So stop blaming "the game" for the shortcomings of the community.
This post may be a little long but I hope you will all read it, especially those who may feel the same but couldn't be arsed to make a post about it.
It has been 3 weeks today since Season 5 started and I wanted to make a thread to hopefully convey the general feel me and my friends have gotten from Season 5 and why it has been the least pleasant season so far for my friends and myself.
In terms of the quality of the game, it has never been better, the content and the diversity of viable builds is at an all-time high and I'm very impressed with how the game has evolved.
What has made this season the least pleasant and the reasons I have barely played since the first weekend are all based around the choices Blizzard have made to speed up progression. The primary reason S5 has fizzled into shit for me is, because of Haedrig's Gift and what I want a season to be like contradict each other.
A new season is supposed to be a fresh start, everything from the beginning which is what I love most. Leveling has always been pretty fast, and since the introduction of Adventure Mode, leveling time is almost non-existent. Me and my friends are by no means speedy levelers, we do every bonus bounty in each act once for a few cubing materials for any legendaries we may need for our builds, then Rifts til 70 and that takes us approximately 4-5 hours. Then ZK on T2 is stupidly easy, then with the 4piece of our sets we can easily do GR20 solo.....within one hour of being level 70 MOST people have started doing Torment 6 completely bypassing 5 torment levels. . . .Which is where my problem lies.
The most fun part of a new season is gradually progressing through the torments, replacing gear pieces bit by bit with whatever hash of legendaries you can put together until you get those important set pieces, which in turn enables you to progress to the next difficulty. There was absolutely NONE of that this season, as soon as the 6piece of your set is done and you get a semi-decent ancient weapon you can steam T9 until T10 is enabled. I was doing T9-10 with an ancient FotVP on my Barb in about 2 hours after hitting 70. . .with legendaries raining down on me. Then the boring part starts. ...grinding GRs to level paragons and gems.
I have played this season the least out of any of the seasons, playing no more than the first weekend, yet I progressed further than any other season I have played previously, which to me, implies the progression curve is fucked.
Seasons no longer reward hard work, because nothing is hard, the hardest part about Season 5, is finding the will to actually click "Play" on my launcher...which hasn't happened since the first weekend of S5.
I hope this thread wasn't too much of a mish-mash of thoughts and complaints, I was finding it hard to convey why I won't be returning until Season 6.
TL;DR - Haedrig's Gift is a shit idea and ruined Season 5, and in my opinion, goes entirely against what a season should be about.
The season is ruined because you skipped 1 day of gearing? In the last 3 seasons everyone had at least 1 set completed by the end of day 2 of seasons. Did it speed up seasons? Yes, by less than 8 hours of gaming. If that ruined it for you, you are playing the wrong game.
