Lol what on earth is this. I'm guessing each square upgrades your damage or immunities by like 1 or 2 points so you still feel like you're progressing over your 600 hours of gaming?

Does one of the massive skill tree upgrades increase my running speed by 2%, perhaps

I haven't played with it much but seems pretty similar (though smaller) than the PoE tree from what I remember, with yeah some +5 Int or whatever but each board also has two major doodads that are comparable to a D3 jewel or legendary aspect, otherwise.

It feels weird to be nearly at level 30 and I haven't started the first main campaign quest (investigate what Lilith's up to) or even left Act 1 yet.

There are a lot of side quests in this game. I keep heading toward the main story quest and getting sidetracked because some guys wife is having an affair with a demon or something

How rare are max roll legendaries going to be when you get to the super high levels, I got one of the quite good universally legendary powers on a random drop that's the highest roll you can possibly get (I think, if I'm understanding the system correctly). So when it stops being good for my character because something better in every other way drops, I can extract that power and put it on something else to then put on a rare and turn it into a legendary with that good power right?

Just wondering if I should keep it until I have a very good piece of gear to put it on in the relatively far future? I assume you can't re-extract it after you've put it on a thing and just keep cycling the power onto new items endlessly. Or if all that poo poo will be dropping a lot or if specific powers are targetable so I can feel free to chuck it on something good enough.

I'm trying to do all the acts before doing act 1 to see if it changes anything.

People are already bored. In a week things are gonna be dire. They better rush the first season. OW2 is dead since they put everyone on D4, Dragonflight didn't bring anyone back. The execs probably thought for sure this shitshow would've been sold to Microsoft by now.

Do you still get all the side quests when you're leveling a second character on the adventure mode? Probably only ever gonna do the campaign once so wondering if I would need to do all the side quests or could leave a bunch for subsequent characters on the adventure mode.

What in the gently caress are you talking about? The game has been out for two days early access. Everyone I know is still loving it. You sound like you just have an axe to grind with Blizzard and are making baseless assumptions.

Maybe I'm bad but blood mist owns and I use it all the time, especially on world bosses. It's an instant CC break there's tons of opportunity to use it even on baby mode wt1

Maybe I'm just better at dodging :smug:

I dunno, I see the use as a CC break but that still comes in handy way less than something like a curse that increases your damage output at all times

Just in general most of the time you get chunked at low levels is because you let a monster hit you with a big stunning attack. At lower levels this isnt that bad, but strongholds have a ton of trash that can wipe you out before you can regain control.

So... Is the Kor Dragan stronghold supposed to turn into a town when you clear all the baddies like Nastrva did? Cuz it's still infested with vampires and its marked off as being cleared.

No, it stays infested and becomes an area where legion events can happen later.

Definitely didn't say dead on arrival, middle aged dads have enough nostalgia to get it for now sure.

We'll see how it's thought of when season 1 finally begins in 2 months and we see how bad the cash shop is.

Wow is in the best state it's been in a decade, Diablo 4 absolutely whips rear end, OW2 is a very, very good game but is sadly an out-of-its-time gameplay design that requires people to intensively aim. It's the summer of blizzard baby
