Spent a couple hours today finding Lilith statues. If you are at all struggling with damage, work on your renown, and statues. This made such a huge difference in my damage output and survivability.

Got a weird one. I went to head towards a quest in an area that I hadn't been to and showed as undiscovered on the map. Right beside the quest location icon was an orange star. When I got there there was gold and loot all over the ground like somebody had just killed all the enemies (but somehow it gave me the loot despite being far away) and there was a legendary amulet on the ground which was what the orange star was. In addition all the enemies were still spawned.

It's like somehow somebody else fought these guys and I got the loot despite being far away and never having been there. And I haven't even ever been in a group on the game.

Can you not skip cutscenes when in a party? Playing with my buddy, he's the Leader, he skipped the cutscene but I can't for myself

Gotta admit, I'm a bit surprised that there isn't drama about six hour queues and disconnects and various other servers-on-fire issues. I guess this one was a bit too big for them to give it the normal treatment.

By saying that I've tempted fate, and for that I'm sorry.

The first clear was... like three days in? Four? It was before the first nerf cycle and that happened within the first week. I remember a friend I was playing with had one of the teams' stream running in a second monitor and was updating us.

It helps that they've staggered the release too. Both with the early access and with the game unlocking at midnight in Europe on a workday.

Trampleslide. Not the most s-tier meta build(pulverize and stormwolf) but I did the WT4 dungeon at level 56 with it so its definitely good. Trample is the most fun druid skill imo and having it fill the screen with landslides just feels amazing.

Just did the same. Hopefully there's still space if it allowed me to request to join.

I'm suspiciously impressed at how smooth things have run tonight with the frugal crew logging in.

I got into CoG well enough, thanks goons. Search for Cathedral of Goons, toss a request in every so often if it says requests are full.

Hitting up Rogue for my first playthrough and once I took Shadowstep(+cooldown on fresh hit passive), Dash, fast stabbies and poison trap it clicked remarkably fast. I like Flurry too. Combat feel is pretty great. Buttons will be tight later but for now zip zoom.

I'm trying T2 out until my head breaks on the wall and it has made two dungeon boss fights pretty intense while I'm still New Char Bad Gear. Really satisfying to pull 'em out with good dodging and prioritizing targets though but as good as game feels and looks it does show that it got rushed out the door a bit. It's funny how some of the attack reads are a bit jank or how the projectile hit boxes are off and I look forward to the post-launch recovery/Season 1 touch up to everything.

Specifically the spider that launches webs and poison that are contacting you before they finish traveling through the air and hit the ground, and the Ice Fallen Shaman that throws balls that hit pillars that spawn 8x orbs. I saw this for the first time and figured they were "avoid the bad on the floor" and they're a bit hard to see with a subtle spawn animation and he was almost dead so it spawned all 8 on top of me for an insta-gib. Funny stuff, not a complaint. Wow there's gonna be a lot to remember at this rate for the hardcore playthrough, color me engaged.

Game good, good job Blizzard.

Lore-wise I'm slightly baffled that the random peasants don't bat an eye at you casting town portals everywhere. You'd think they would associate that with demons and witches and poo poo.

I mean, there's a big rear end stone platform in the middle of nearly all towns in the entire world, where people just pop in and out like a train station. Having your own portal just means you're part of the privileged elite.

It's a handful of starving half-dead cultists though, not like an entire not-dead town tying us up and putting us on a pyre.

Fair. The fact that reality in Sanctuary is apparently subjective and based (at this point) on The Wanderer would explain it.

I had a similar thing happen and not only that, the dropped item was 5 levels higher than I could equip and had druid mods (im barb)

Chain lightning sorc is level 51 and T3. I was shocked and how quick the jump from high 40s was; I spent almost no time in T2. In future runes Is probably jump closer to 45, upgrades slow way down around there in T1 and T2.

Sacred items are cool. Dungeons are harder but I like the prospect of big upgrades being randomly possible.

kinda wishing there was an easy speed farming activity, feels like lost progression is about hard small fights and maybe literally waiting out cooldowns between them?

depends on your build. CL sorc has to wait for UC for her big burst damage. Firewall and Arc Lash just go vroom all the time.
