Kinda disappointed the game still can’t maintain higher than 50-70 FPS on Medium on my laptop with a 6700S but at least it still feels smooth. Not sure how it’s going to do past the starter areas, though.

I've had the Warpath bug myself, using another skill fixes it for me.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

I avoided the lunge bug for most of the campaign once I stopped trying to cut corners and target objects that had other objects in their path. But there do seem to be a number of monolith targets (most of the big stationary things that are objectives to kill) that bug it out constantly and is annoying.

Fully half of the uniques/sets that have dropped for me so far are minion items, including the Reach of the Grave which rolled high but has no LP. Guess I may make a summoner sooner rather than later but I do want to transition from Jav to Hammer first and see how I like it.

yeah reach of the grave dropped early for me, luckily totems are minions and own, but im swapping to werebear eventually so ill hand it off to a necro or something after

Is it still the case that passives can be refunded via gold and skill specialisation can be manually removed and just needs time to re-skill, so the only real permanent choice in the game is your sub-class?

Game feels really great now compared to last time I played, devs are doing a great job.

Noooooooo Offline mode is down right now. Was really hoping to play some before work. Looking forward to offline mode in 1.0 as that will not require the online servers to be working.

Don't be ashy.
I made the mistake of going into the discord - I learned that they're deploying a server-side update, which is why we can't get in right now, but also the discord is full of idiots spamming that they can't get in and being jerks!

There's definitely a good number of bugs to address but I dunno, does anyone else remember PoE launch? This seems pretty good by comparison in terms of the networking code. My recollection playing PoE for the first year or two was rubber-banding (desyncing) a lot, almost literally every time you entered a doorway, and pretty severely, until they made a huge update to the code and introduced the lockstep stuff.

The Steam Forums for this game are unreadable, I can't imagine the state of their Discord. The server stuff sucks but once we got in last night it was rock solid the whole way through.

Rubber banding was a huge pain point for PoE for the longest time. It took forever for the devs to fix it.

Got to mid 40s last night on a fire summoner. I really need to assess my gear today as it was getting rough at the end, but I had gone like 20 levels without adjusting anything.

I couldn't migrate my old standalone account to steam, but support just gave me a steam key and said I can get supporter stuff added back on.
Handled it nice and quickly which was cool, especially considering how busy the must be.
Not bothered about the forum flair or even the rucksack cosmetic, just keen to roll a new character since I've not played in at least 2 years, christ, time flies eh.

Did they change the models for the summons? I don't remember the bone golem looking so huge and awesome last time I played this like a year ago.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Bought this last night and it's definitely been a bummer having the server issues pop up, but the little I got to play seemed cool. I'm very indecisive about what class to play which is usually a good sign I'll enjoy it

They did graphical updates on a number of skills, bone golem included, but I don't think any other necro summons got a glowup.

They also added the ice golem since I last played, so my ice summoner necro can finally be complete! Freezing everything rules.

I'll take/trade for one of those Reaches when y'all are done with them, I spent about 100k gambling on a level 9 alt and still haven't gotten one!

I forget if you're new ITT or not, but I guess I know we have a few newer comers so probably good to post anyways:

Ideally, you want your Resistances to match your the Level of the monsters in the zone (per the Level indicator in the top right corner). Monsters get 1% of Resistance Penetration per level, so early game when you're only taking like 0-10% Bonus Damage on elemental hits isn't a huge deal, but by 40 if you're still rocking level 20 stuff you should definitely spend a few minutes to use your Shards to shore up whatever type of elemental damage the monsters are dealing!

I just started doing Monoliths and got 1-shot by some big Necro damage boss attack and then realized I had like 10 Necro resist, woops there's +50% damage.


I mean, I know it's an ARPG and "Hey check your resistances" is pretty 101, but the math works differently in this game than most others so I just wanted to call that out :)

I mean, it's just get that armor and max the amount of skellies you can get. It's not really even a build guide.

How long can you AFK in LE before you get auto kicked? I managed to get ingame two separate times earlier but had to run some errands and now can't get in again, could I have just stayed afk in game for an hour?

e: Got in on my next attempt after posting this lol. It would still be useful to know if it is going to take them a while to iron out all the connection issues though.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
How popular was the standalone client though, back when it was an option?

Still I agree there's no way they expected this many players and no wonder some strange new bugs have emerged. I've been theorycrafting my Spellblade build in between sessions so it's easy to be patient.

now there's an infinite queue again, it seems :(
