at least gear capped at exotic

which was a 10% increase over yellow rares

they were more likely using a meta build and macros to maximize damage

true

i saw some people who somehow were able to instantly destroy elite enemies

and this was after I thought I was good after getting supposedly elite gear from dungeon merchants

they had like 500% my damage output somehow

more of the "well fuck this fucking game" shit

there is a strong meta in the game. Certain gear stat types and certain builds, using certain skill rotations are very unbalanced

ergo broken game

another MMO that is only fun at a low level

the difference between garbage and best gear in the game tierwise is 10%

craft a cheap yellow helm that has 100 to a stat, the best version you can get has 110

but like the engineer, they cannot get that class to balance. and they made the first batch of elite subclasses way to op

you know an MMO that is mostly unbroken and fun most of the time?

I'd sayyyy

hmmmm

Diablo 2 maybe

inb4 "actually very broken"

lol, no. End game of that was broken with triple immunities causing a lot of builds to be pointless

sure

but what made it good is that 90% of the game wasn't broken

now I've been playing the median xl mod more and it's decent

for diablo 2

oh yeah that mod

i haven't tried it

I need to find that Diablo 2 CD i have in my carage

garage*

new version is out in 10 days

ever face a multishot lightning enchanted beetle with conviction aura in diablo 2 btw?

I've seen dumb overpowered shit

i know

hmm

Only MMO i can't think of being fucked is FFXI

but I never got to a high level either

or the early version where you explode to iron maidan, lol

It was just so fun, FFXI

immersive and rewarding and punishing

didn't see anyone being OP

there was one game that I loved but is now dead, asheron's call

heard of it but know nothing about that
