How do you upgrade gems to higher levels? Is it tied to your character level?

I should double check which ones are available. Only really sought out 1 (and it rocks), but my luck with natural dropped legendaries fuckin suck, none of them work for my build or are good enough that I'd want to dick around and build around them.

Which is weird, because I didn't have problems with that as sorc on beta.

Legendary drop rate was wayyy inflated for the beta

note a bunch of the uniques are dogshit bad so you'll probably have a couple per class that may be good but much like every arpg, there are a bunch of poo poo ones too.

gearing is kinda meh so far. For anyone looking for POE style of character growth it wont be found here thats for sure.

still having fun but that lack of depth will probably make it enjoyable for maybe a season or two

I haven't seen one that is dogshit bad. I've had ones that were just kind of there, and I didn't mind grinding them down for mats, but they weren't actively bad or anything.

I'm still in the story though.

Edit - Oh you said uniques. I haven't seen any of those yet but if there are a lot bad ones, that sucks.

This is cool, and was news to me. Basically special "unique" rare items that drop from named mobs and can roll special affixes. They can still be enchanted and imprinted like normal.

it feels like i broke the game

When do I break the game as a ranged rogue :smith: I'm level 40 and I don't master anything that requires me to kill fast enough. I just got a legendary bow and I felt above the curve for about a level. I'm watching a streamer play with a melee rogue build and he's melting everything. Seems like I should have went with sorc if I wanted to play ranged.

they really nailed the characters and voice acting this go around.

Except that 1 female VA voices like 30% of the side quests. I just finished a cool quest where I was helping a priestess exorcize people. After I finished that quest line the next side quest I did was the same VA and kind of robbed how cool I thought the previous quest was.

ranged rogue isnt very good yeah, even the puncture build which is supposedly good for pushing endgame looks like rear end to play

rogue should have been melee and there should have been a separate ranged class. not enough melee skill choice on a rogue, you're basically only twisting blades for real endgame damage

Yeah but you can choose to imbue them with shadow OR poison. The possibilities are endless.

How much knowledge of enemy/boss gimmicks is required to not die? If I get this I was planning on starting in hardcore, but I don't want to waste my time starting over and over if there are enemy attacks that will kill you without the inside knowledge needed to avoid it.

How well does couch coop for PS5 play? Split screen? Some games (Children of Morta) have abysmal coop despite the underlying game being fantastic. I'm just looking for something to nerd out with family game time. I understand it is a bit tricky with the early access period so more curious about full release.

I would say that I wouldn't want to play this game on HC the first go-round, even if I played other ARPGs on HC.

that, sadly, is the same conclusion I came to as well. not because of difficulty but because there's so, so much ultimately unimportant poo poo that would take a long time to redo if you died.

I suspect that once they start seasons up they'll make progressing new chars a bit less grinding

Thanks, that is too bad. D3 was pretty fair where if you did not get overzealous with torment level you could control your fate pretty well, but in the time I played D4 during one of the betas it seemed like there were many more unavoidable stuns or other things that took your control away.

Do you at least unlock adventure mode equivalent for HC, or would you still need to play through the whole campaign again?

The enemies telegraph their moves way ahead of time or have a giant rear end marked ring or line. As long as you can see with your eyes and react appropriately then you’ll be okay. When those moves hit though they can absolutely pack a punch or in the case of a herd of goat men, stunlock you to death.

My buddy is doing his first play through as a tanky druid on T1 and even the butcher didn’t give him too much trouble. Just be careful.
