Yesterday I couldn't think of any builds I wanted to play. Now I'm trying to decide between like five. I'm sure it'll be up to seven or more before launch tomorrow, and I'll just have to roll some dice or something at the last second.

Dahbadu posted:Thanks for the advice. I truly appreciate it. If anyone has more tips, I'd like to know. I posted it earlier in the thread but my advice for LE builds is to try out the skills, pick one you like, find ways to make the skill cost 0 mana, then find methods of triggering another skill using the skill you like. Then fill out your bar with movement/survivability/buffs and maybe another skill that shares a damage type or utilizes the same buffs/stats. One of the skills on your hotbar will not have its tree used at much or at all, because you want to invest points into your triggered skill. When you're messing around with stats to find out what gives you the most DPS, the tooltips are incredibly useful. Way more than PoE ever was. You'll be surprised what stats increase DPS for a certain skill and when you start getting diminishing returns. Since the in-game info is so useful, I think this makes it easier to create a great build in-game through trial and error without having to read guides or watch build videos. The relatively low cost/time to respec means you can experiment a fair amount in the mid/late-game.

What I've been mostly waiting for before I bought this game was the update to death animations and skill use feedback. But for a while I've been thinking that this game seems like what I always hoped from POE down to the itemization and not feeling forced to trade if I want to play anything different than the 3 or 4 op builds that can scale to endgame. I'm a bit broke financially now but I think I can squeeze out some cash to get this today co's It's looking really good.

I watched Action RPGs two videos on crafting last night and understand the system better now. All I had done during my campaign playthroughs until now was just upgrade a few specific affixes on gear i happened to pick up and use. I think that was plenty for the campaign but getting into monoliths I’ll probably need to focus on it a bit more. The last guy I played was a Lunge/Jav build and upgrading the damage over time affix on a spear I got at level 20 carried me to 50+ without really caring about loot at all. I will definitely have to grab a loot filter and start using shatter on certain stuff as I level.

I went a melee class before I got a sword that automatically summoned skellies. I quickly realized necromancer is cool and good, and restarted with a necro. LE has the most satisfying pet builds I think I've played in an arpg. Excited to see, like, the changes to animations, environments, music, voices, etc, coz LE did a lot of that stuff good already imo.

I got it to load, but there were two copies of my character and the camera wouldn't follow the one that would move. Pretty funny.

I got in like right at noon but quickly had to AFK to walk my dogs, now I just get stuck "Connecting" --> "Online Play Unavailable"

So, offline play works, right? I have no mates so don't see the need for online atm.

As long as the initial auth checks/connections work it should be fine. It won't be a pure offline mode until 1.0

I'm having paralysis choice with classes, which one commits the most warcrimes? I assume Lich/Necromancer due to raising the dead but I played that last beta already. Any other classes allow you to either spread misery and darkness and general unpleasantness through your enemies or carpet-bomb them with illegal amounts of ordnance?

Void Knight autobomber does the latter and is big on warcrimes too.

I put over a hundred hours into this like a year ago, then put it away to wait for the multiplayer. Don't know why I thought that, though, since all my gaming buds had kids and stopped gaming, and I'm almost allergic to playing with randos. Still happy to see the game chugging along, and people excited to play it. I'd like to dust off the ol' install and see what's new, but won't have time after work today, or tomorrow, or Saturday, and oh god, I didn't even have kids but somehow became too busy to game anyway.

In addition to the great info posted by others, don't sleep on the built-in loot filter. It's really easy to set up your own filters in the UI without having to go download someone's file from Github to use as a baseline (though you can still do that!)

Yeah the loot filter is one of my fave features of LE.

Kaddish posted:Game no worky, this is OUTRAGEOUS. The Paladin I just leveled using Javelin with Holy Trail and Lunge with Pilum Assault blasted through the campaign faster than anything else I've played. I've always been the type that likes to slaughter every pack of monsters I encounter so I had to curb that instinct and just be satisfied with blitzing through everything and having >50% of poo poo die to the ground effect behind me. It isn't a build I want to play at endgame but it seems more efficient to level that way and then respec later on to hammerdin or something.

Suprfli6 posted:lol the top comment on this is someone asking if they can get a refund, and @LostEpoch replying with instructions on how to do so. Good on the devs for keeping a level head, but people need to chill. It's launch day for an indie team. The game isn't going anywhere, and demanding a refund because you have to wait a couple hours to play is just childish. Edit: Also, I got in on my first try (after waiting in queue for like 10 minutes), so I guess those whiny scrubs just need to git good.

Another thing I just remembered: the "numlock trick" works in this game to autocast spells. The numlock trick is when you have numlock on, you hold a key, then turn numlock off and it continues registering that key's input, effectively autocasting it. To do this: 1. Go to Settings -> Gameplay Tab -> Change Input Keys (at the top) 2. Set the alternative binding for "Use Ability #" for whichever slot you want to bind to a numpad number. It should say "Keypad #" 3. In game, make sure numlock is on, hold the number, and turn it off. You should see your skill autocasting! This is awesome for mage's spell/fire shields, and for Wandering Spirits on acolyte. Just run around and let your autocasted spirits do the work!

quote != edit! Edit: but since I'm here, if you're playing minions, you can press A while highlighting an enemy to tell your minions to attack that target or go to that location. Amazing! King Cocoa Butter fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Mar 9, 2023 |
