a bit of a bummer to see people on youtube call certain classes "solved" but i'm chalking that up to Streamer Arrogance rather than the community have an actual lock on what classes/masteries are most powerful

I've only dug into Sorcerer and I'm not even finished with the campaign, but just looking at comparison builds (Glacier) in the community, it seems like they're missing some pretty powerful mechanics and synergies looking at their skill/passive choices. I'd say you're right.

I can’t help but feel responsible for the server problems. Every time I take time off work to play a multiplayer game at launch it goes smoothly. I was going to do so for yesterday and today but couldn’t get a sub lined up. Sorry everyone!

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 :)

Is there a rundown of what resistances are needed where? I think I recall reading somewhere certain resistance breakdowns for different parts of the campaign. However, I'm going to prob jump into monoliths tonight as I unlocked all of my passives and idol slots last night.

Chapters 2 and 3 are void and physical resist. This is typically the most dangerous stretch of the game.
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 have a lot of undead. You want to add in necrotic resist.
Chapter 7 has two short zones of fire enemies, then a poo poo ton of cold. Mainly adding in cold resist is important.
Chapter 8, if you continue the campaign, is cold and lightning.
Chapter 9 has some nasty fire and poison enemies, the fire ones show up first. The Chapter 9 Boss, Majasa, can be pretty challenging if you're playing the campaign straight through and not overleveled from monoliths. It's ok to come back and kill her later.


After Chapter 7 you can go to monoliths which is a mix of everything. You need to balance resists with other defensive stats at this point. Close to 2k hp if stacking health, capped crit avoidance, close to 60% endurance, and 60-75% for all resists is where you want to end up by the time you finish normal monoliths. Some builds are safer and can get by with less.

Game is absolutely boned right now. I work from home and logged in on my lunch break. In the 5 hours since, I've watched the queue go from 4300 down to 3600, back to 4300, and up and down, over and over. On the discord I asked an employee if I leave the queue, how long until I actually leave the queue instead of it trying to retain my place, and the employee had zero idea.

The play is absolutely log in as early as you can in the day and do whatever you can to stay online.

What timezone are you in? I am US East and have never seen any queue at all, and managed to connect to the game about 5 different times today from noon to 5:00 PM, and I was just AFK ingame for about five hours before playing for a bit.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I am new and bouncing up and down the queue at random? Like it says I'm at 0 in the queue and then bumps me up to 88 and then it goes back down, etc etc.

Edit: Guess I'll try again tomorrow morning or something.

It definitely should, since the update is that they're eliminating the queues. It does require a patch so restart the client if you're having issues!

Iirc, the offline character's are just .txt files, so can probably be backed up.
Sorry it's no help for you, but I thought I should mention it.

Good question. I'm having a look through the forums etc to check and it looks like it's maybe changed in 0.9

Ill have a better look once I get home

Well, there's a save editor on FearlessEvolution and I've located what appears to be the new character I made yesterday (only an hour or so in)
Tried looking at it on notepad++ but it's all just one massive line of text and I don't have time to decipher it.
Happy to upload my save/character if anyone wants to gently caress around with it. Probably easier to make a new one.

Save locations is here by the way..

The save editor hasn't been updated since 16th feb so might not work, idk, I'll try in a bit

Spriggan form primalist is real easy to level, go all in on thorn totems, then health totems become thorn totems in the spriggan tree, and you can be summoning 9 thorn totems 3 at a time that Pierce, it's really good

It's really easy to lose track of your party if they get a little too far away from you. There's no arrow that shows on the edge of the map so once they leave the boundaries of as far as the map will zoom out to show they just kinda disappear. I'm sure this can/will be fixed but a bit annoying atm!

How much of the story campaign is in the game right now? I got to chapter 9, but dont have anymore story quests to continue, or did I beat it? I will fully admit I didn't pay attention to the story.
