Awesome, I'm glad to hear it! I'm working on it making it more accessible to 2K community as a whole just need to navigate a couple of things first since I'm doing this all in my spare time. In the meantime, I'll make sure to upload videos discussing the meta ratings for each releases.

Wingspan and height are very important weights in the regression model so it’s definitely factored in, and funny you mention Magic I bring that exact example up in my new video on the Lightning Strike set. Can you give a clear simple example of which attributes you would weigh/quantify over another one specifically?

Yeah I've been seeing people paying tens of millions of gold for the Eom rune!

Rod Of Kepeleke has been a key item, lucky to have the 2xGA on it.

Thank You!

Oh wow, see I didn't even know that! I grinded so many tormented boss runs in Season 5 to get at least 1 GA and I only got one I think on Tyrael's Might.

There's definitely some guys that have logged 60-70+ hours already which is pretty insane, guess I fall into the denigrated "couch dad" category 😄

I find that the experience of Skills Trees from POE or the D4 Paragon board is so much more fun when you're figuring things out on your own. Where's the joy in looking at the back of the book for solutions when you're trying to figure out a puzzle? Some argue that the POE tree is impossible to get right without a build guide, but I think that argument is malformed. Also I appreciate the sub, thank you!

@@synthbangers you nailed it!

A big part of the social gaming is experiencing something together for the first time and even if you're sitting by yourself in your mancave/nerdhaven, it's amazing to know that almost everyone is going through that experience at that moment. Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree felt like that, and From Software didn't need to do something lame to squeeze out more marketing for it because they walk the walk of uncompromising legends. I hit on it a little bit in this video, but the crummy thing about the Web2 era over the last 20 years is that there are a small number of winners, and most of everyone else falls outside of that category. Blizzard's strategy of minimizing marketing spend with a handpicked set of creators to blast through the game two weeks before it's released is a huge misstep with their fanbase. I 100% feel what you're saying. Having put in about 30 hours under my belt since release, I feel confident in saying with the introduction of the Spiritborn skills, mercenaries, and additional systems is creating a larger combinatorial map of things that may be possible. That's exciting to me and makes me double down on not following external build guides, which is my own decision.

I think it's going to be important to keep an eye on how Microsoft's influence trickles down to some of the high level decisions executed by Blizzard, especially when it comes to monetization, long term vision for D4, and marketing because that stuff does impact gaming and gamers in a very unique way than in other industries. I haven't really liked the S6 leveling experience early on, especially in the campaign, but once you hit the paragon the experience feels like it gets better. I also think it's kind of pointless to hit level 60 and then use a completely different integer system to designate the paragon. Just make one integer representing your level and have the paragon unlock at 60, I don't understand why there has to be a delineation. You're right though, I feel like they hit a sweet spot in S4 which to me symbolized a real turnaround for D4 and that leveling/gear experience was really optimized in S5. VOH feels a little awkward, but it's exactly the kind of thing I expect them to course correct in patches even before S7.

7 months later and I already need a trailer for Dune 3 lol.

yeah same thing happened to me as well, it's actually a bug: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/seasonal-bug-quest-kulles-heart/146848
