I never saw a queue but couldn't connect for a while, checked periodically and got in like half an hour ago. So far I've found like 6 uniques and 3 are catered to pets and necrotic damage, but of course I decided to level a pally first instead of necro. Guess they'll help my alt a bit eventually.

I've had lunge glitch me out quite a few times and get me stuck, luckily channeling warpath seems to fix it. Never had that happen prior to today.

I'm trying to make my first character and yeah offline mode isn't working for me either. I mean it's the launch of a major patch, I expect things to be a little wonky day 1.

The visual upgrade, and new zones added throughout the story campaign, are really nice. The 0.9.0 update is a beautiful upgrade.

Got a rune of ascendance at level 18 and slammed it onto a spear. Got a level 48 spear that does have Javelin mods but idk how good it will be compared to a rare with stacked DOT damage, guess we'll see. Currently 21 and still haven't gotten a usable spear to switch from warpath to jav.

#7,000 in queue lol

If Online mode doesn't add any special gameplay things I'll probably just stick to Offline.

Edit: Oh the devs said the queue is broken

I assume offline characters can't be moved to online?

Matchmaking Issue - Update

Hey everyone, quick update here.

We are working internally on two different solutions in parallel. First, a partial-solution that will improve matchmaking success rate. Second we are working with our service providers to address what we believe to be the root cause of our issues that is inhibiting matchmaking.

We are overwhelmed with the surge of excitement today, and thank you for your continued patience as we fix the issue effecting player connectivity. We are working hard to get you online as quickly as possible.

Correct. Offline characters are trivial to edit so allowing that would mean rampant cheating :)

I had that happen with Fury Leap a bunch, I think when I try to leap to somewhere I can't go. Leaping again in a slightly different direction gets me out of it, so I think any movement skill will work.

Reddit has helpfully advised me that I look like a "15 year old fortnite boi"
Luckily I got in earlier today, so I had a chance to play. The game is chill, it makes sense, and you can dodge boss attacks! I'm liking it and played almost all day.

My Sorcerer is working out well. As a goon said earlier, a trick is to make sure you can sustain mana. Soo... my level 37 rear end has 300+ mana and about 20 mana regen. Glacier all day yo!

Ward + Freeze + Stun so far seems like a pretty good defensive layer... at least during the campaign.

Game is seriously good but god theres a lot of bugs in multiplayer.

Just playing a paladin to level 20:

- void cleave straight up doesn't work
- sometimes warpath gets stuck in the channel and you have to use a diff skill to cancel it
- character just randomly stops moving and takes a second or 2 to get out of it
- delayed animations and hit detections

I'm playing with 20ms but the netcode(?) needs some serious work

Anyways, I ended up dying my HC char to the big void golem slam. Isn't the first time

I am following a build for the void knight auto bomber where it says to use a 2 hand staff and shield rush. But shield rush needs a shield.
Was there a change to shield rush making it require a shield or am I missing something?? Just using lunge instead for now

There's a node on Shield Rush that removes the shield requirement.

I played very briefly last night solo online and also noticed some weird lag that mostly manifested with hit detection/delay as well. Also experienced the warpath channel not ending bug.

You can just grab whatever looks cool and go, respecs are either free with some time cost (skills) or only have a pretty minor fee associated (passives).

Jun 23, 2005

You do not have to since the game makes it easier to respec, the only thing you can’t change is what mastery you pick

basically you can change which 5 skills you spec into but when you do they lose levels so you have to grind them back up to 20, however as you level they get get a baseline so for instance at level 70 they go back to 10 instead of 0

Whatever mastery you pick opens up the second half of the passive tree on one of classes 3 mastery trees, but you can still put points into the early passives of the other trees as well

Are you using a 2H Sword or Axe? Void Cleave requires one. This game lets you use abilities [to no effect] if you aren't using the requisite gear. You can Shield Slam without a Shield too.

And I think Warpath by design keeps you spinning if you only very quickly just tap the button. You gotta hold it down then release it, more deliberately, if you just want a quick spin.

I think this is by design, anyways, because of this Talent:

And the adjacent node which increases the frequency with which you summon Forged Weapons. So I basically am just always spinning 24/7.
