welp, I tried an alt to ground renown and discovered some rewards are account bound, but the entire renown system is otherwise reset for each character. Still kinda neat, but not nearly as alt-friendly as I initially thought

CLAM DOWN posted:lol how? i'm 25 and have not seen a single legendary Well you get a guaranteed one for completing act I so I wonder if legendary drop rates go up as you progress because I'm all legendary except for a ring at the end of act III (though I have been gambling a bit >_>) I've had probably ~10 drop though.

ChiTownEddie posted:Use the emote "thanks" right there that sidequest made me realize if you see a statue with a faint glowing blue circle in front of it, you can read a plaque that gives you a clue to use a specific emote. if you use the right emote in front of the statue you'll get a temporary buff. The buffs I've found so far have been increased move speed and "the next enemy you hit will rain gold down upon you" which was pretty cool

AlbertFlasher posted:I really didn't like necro so I ditched it at 32 in act 2 or 3 and went with a sorc instead. I ended up beating the campaign with it. I might go back and mess around with some off meta necro builds. Maybe blood surge or blood lance since it got buffed. oh actually something I have equipped has given me a rank of blood lance and it hurts things. I'll probably put a point in it myself whenever I switch that gear out

I don't necessarily disagree with the auspices, but I have to say, given how much better the game is than D3, for the simple fact that such a dungeon would be handled miles better than D3, it'd be a shame if they didn't. The art department really knocked D4 out of the park.

One of my friends who I nearly always disagree with about game stuff absolutely hated Diablo 3 although I always saw him playing it when a new season started, he loves Path of Exile, reckons it blows Diablo 3 out of the water. He also disliked the Diablo 4 beta and quit at level 6 in it cause he hated that they asked him to pick some herbs or do an "MMO fetch quest". Then he still bought the early access version of this game, still disliked it for pretty much the same reasons in the full game unsurprisingly + he's also realised he hates the builder/spender dichotomy, Diablo 3 is based on that quite a bit so I guess that tracks. He is now incredibly salty cause they won't let him refund it for obvious reasons (you could buy the early access version of the game, refund it after early access is over, get the normal version of the game if you still wanted it and pocket the £20/30 difference having gotten the benefit of the early access) but he's still playing it because he "wants to get his moneys worth". I'm not sure why I'm posting this, just wanted to marvel at the brainworms and needed to share it to get it out I think. Just baffling, I get not liking the game sure, that's a subjective thing and it's not to his taste but I can't imagine having played it for free, not liking it and then still plunking down the cash. It's pretty funny though cause in our friend group discord there's a couple people who've never played an ARPG before asking if 4 might be a good first one and I'm saying "yeah sure, if you're gonna play one then Diablo 4 is probably a decent first one, or get Diablo 3 on the consoles, that's probably cheap at this point," (as an aside, Activision games never going on deep discount on PC is so annoying). Whereas he's reeling off these complaints that are probably not an issue for most folks and recommending they play Path of Exile instead, or wait for the sequel which seems like a recipe for disaster in terms of taste for our group. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jun 5, 2023 |

I'm level 32, I have five legendaries, and every single one of them has the same damned effect. It's a good one, the invulnerability bubble if you drop below healthy, but can I get a little variety please?

I think that guy might have a parasocial relationship with PoE that is clouding his judgement. I have a couple hundred hours in that game but it's the last ARPG I'd recommend for someone's first. e: are you guys not hitting your obol caps? I've already hit it twice and had to spend it down.

D-Pad posted:What are you doing to get so many legendaries? I must be missing something because I am 35 and only have 2-3. What difficulty are you playing on? I been playing on 2, which I've just been told isn't worth it for levelling and stuff. I got 1 legendary from gambling when my obo filled up, and the rest just dropped. I do a lot of side-questing too. I hit up pretty much every little world event I come across. It's awesome when you roll up right when other players are finishing it so you get a free chest, but usually I'm just doing them solo.

What is an optimal combo for leveling as a duo? Will leveling as a necro and a sorceror duo offer any advantages over leveling as 2 necromancers?

Legendaries seem to really start dropping like mad in Act IV. My basic progression was: 1 for beating Act 1 1 from the Act 2 boss 2 just out in the world playing act 3 And now in act 4 I'm only a couple quests in and I've already had 5 of them drop. Also dont' sleep on your act 1 legendary. They tend to have low level requirements, so they're decent twink gear. My necro used his act 1 legendary sword up until lvl 25 or so, and I've got a barb that's going to inherit it. Thing only has a lvl req of 10 so it's going to be nuts.

I found that if you start a new character you get the renown reward skill points and potions automatically from level 1. The new character can still redo the renown stuff for XP and gold though.

Once you beat the campaign, is there a way to skip the story on other characters that already started but didn't finish it? I'm in act 4 on my necro, going to finish it with this guy. I've also got a barb that I got to lvl 8 or 9 before I switched over. Can I flip a switch to get that guy in adventure mode once I've done the campaign on splody boi, or should I just delete him and roll a new one?

"Well sir, the decision to make the character Diablo homosexual had a mixed result. Christians loved it and we got a bunch of hate mail accusing us of being homophobic, but we've also apparently turned him into a sex symbol in the gay community. Personally I think Lil Nas X paved the way for that."

I finished the campaign last night. I thought the story was much better than in Diablo 3. Better character motivation for the most part although it does fall a part a little towards the end. Granted they seem to be setting up for long term expansion with this so that makes some sense. I do miss some of the silly side stuff that was traditionally in Diablo, the lack of a cow level really does sting. Post-campaign stuff seems really fun so far. Don't sleep on the Helltides, you can get geared up very fast in them. Follow a group around and soak up XP and cinders. The best option for farming I found was doing the events over and over. You get a ton of cinders, Obols and a good chance to get Legendaries, Artifacts and cosmetics. Fooling around last night I got about a dozen Legendaries, 4 cosmetics and enough Obols to cap myself 4 times along with about 3 million gold for vender trash.

Your total points, so no gimmicking it with alts to quickly max it, which is what it sounds like they attempted  Cyrano4747 posted:Once you beat the campaign, is there a way to skip the story on other characters that already started but didn't finish it? The campaign skip is an option on character creation, so probably not. Given the level I would delete/reroll.

My initial character was a sorc that I got to 30 / Act III before rolling a Necro. I'm going back to that character but I'm just gonna bank their gear and delete / remake. Adventure mode is *considerably* faster to the point where by the time I completed Act III I could be in my 40s by myself not doing anything but tree tasks.

If y'all are like "why aren't I getting any legendaries" and you aren't doing events as you come across them, well I think I found the problem.
