I made summoner rogue and my rotation is press 4 buttons once every 30 seconds and hold down left mouse until the screen is dead.

Also, my Nefarious Mask of Doom artifact refuses to let me bless it via transfer or enchanter just giving me the error, "crafting failed: output item could not be generated".

i disagree

seriously, this game was a trivial slog with zero actual difficulty for a very long time. the best characters were ALWAYS the ones who do the most damage because survivability was trivial.

i made my right click on iron fist good fortune kick despite not using either of the stances associated with it because it dashes to enemies and is on a very short cooldown, giving me more mobility and versatility. it is good design to have ways of increasing effectiveness beyond "more bigger numbers."

been enjoying the hell out of the game since i've been playing it again and a large part of that is actually having to micro in a lot of situations. i like having more expected of me than just standing near enemies and mashing my rotation over and over again regardless of what is happening around me.

I'm not saying that an active choice for survival is bad, I'm saying that choices in talents that are "more damage or survival" are bad because people are always going to either be so casual they don't give a gently caress and just pick the one with the coolest name, or will min-max aka read some websites and be told what to pick

And even then, not even talent-wise, active skill-wise: it's just odd. SW has 3 powerful survival skills that become even more powerful with talents, while there are characters with zero extra survival skills or talents.

I'm enjoying getting back into this, but ffffuck my graphics card does not seem to play nice with Gaz's clusterfuck of code. Has anybody run into problems with Nvidia cards (specifically GTX 660)? I've tried clocking up, I've tried clocking down, I've tried increasing the power limit while clocking down... :shrug:

Run the graphics at high. No I am not joking. Turn off ambient occlusion, depth of field and motion blur (and anti aliasing if you can take it). Make sure you're drivers are up to date. What's your OS? Running it with DX10 or 11 improves performance immensely.

Just so you know, I'm running this game on like, a Radeon HD 6450 with not that many problems.

Win 8.1 (I know, I know...), latest drivers. But thanks for these; I'll try them out and report back. I strongly suspect it's something like "one particular setting that this particular combination of card+driver+software chokes on" - my system can handle some pretty taxing games 100% of the time, no crashes, and other games are just nightmares to get working. (I tried downclocking first because, for whatever reason, Shadow of Mordor went from unplayable to perfectly fine after I tweaked Core Clock and Memory Clock down like 5% each. :iiam:)

Edit: Oh poo poo yeah, that's already made a huge difference.
Edit2: Crap, spoke too soon. :sigh:

Everytime I try to get back into this I stare at my inventory and stash that are filled with heaps of event items and boxes and boosts and fragments that I have no idea what to do with and bounce back off. They need to have an inventory cleaner for expired items and a sort function.

Also I have some eternity splinters saved up (I think) and looked through the store, but didn't find the random hero box? Is that gone, can you only buy specific heroes now?

You can still buy them from adam warlock or the other eternity splinter vendors.

What's the story with Blessings? I noticed they have labels now. Do two of the same type not stack? So all my quadruple Helas are only worth one?

They stack, but they're not as useful stacked now because they grant ratings instead of flat bonuses. There are three types - Offensive, Defensive and Utility - and then there's Blessing of Odin that gives you a major buff if you use one of each type. So instead of 4 Helas for 20% brutal, you'll have one Hela, one Odin, and a Defensive and Utility on the other two to complete the set.

I haven't checked if it's still there, but there was a recipe to swap existing Blessings for free.

So I made another account to see what the gently caress was going on with the splinters. If you played before the patch dropped, it didn't dump you into the training room mission after the raft where you get the 400 splinters, so you're probably hosed.

actually I worked on my gobby last night and he's pretty great, at least for his glider build (machine gun spender)

Nitrous Boost while wearing some power duration is a massive speed boost, nothing can hit you while you dance around

Also having a true brutal chance of 66% on 7 of your 8 skills (including sig) with 840% brutal damage is.... pretty brutal

for anyone else prestiging a bunch of characters, the quest artifacts are high item grade with a level 18 req, so you can get a full blessing bonus with them at 18. not a huge boost but decent enough that it'll make 18-30ish go even faster than it does.

Cool, I saw that exchange recipe but I didn't know what I should be doing with it. I guess that's a more elegant solution but it's so weird having only like 25% brutal hit rating now.


Messed around with some more characters and Juggernaut seems to have gotten out of this pretty much the same. It's weird not constantly holding down my Stride button for little ticks of Momentum, and Lariat feels like it needs maybe one more charge because I get these moments where everything is cooling down. On the other hand, permanent Unstoppable Charge is straight from heaven. It's all I ever wanted out of him: to run around like an out of control bus.

She Hulk seems to be in good shape too, at least design-wise. She got Anger instead of spirit and her talents let you decide how fiddly or simple you want her to play.

For those of you with 40+ in your primaries, are you getting these primarily from Infinity points, or am I missing something entirely, because my stuff is basically in the high teens and my DPS/survivability seem anemic in cosmics.

And Durability in particular got some weirdness with stat bonuses on artifacts because of the no-it-totally-exists item budget interacting interestingly with "and some characters get damage from this defensive stat."

Also at this point you're getting at most +6 to a stat from infinity, coming in from capped omegas. And on a lot of heroes you want other stats first.
