The glowing reviews from every outlet helped a lot imo. I certainly wasn't going to play it til I started seeing people singing its praises to high heaven all over the place.

It's an 87 on Metacritic. An 87 for a triple A title is not glowing. Diablo 3 has an 88. Diablo 3 was not a good game. Maybe it became a good game I saw no reason to go back to it. Anyway the point isn't that D4 is bad or good the point is that I don't trust reviewers.

do aspects stack? if i have the same one on an amulet and a weapon for instance

also, if i have a weapon that says 25% more to close enemies, does this apply to damage from all sources or just that weapon?

It's a wonder that we're giving D4 the time of day after the Diablo Immortal trash fire. And the string of Blizzard's other recent failures. I heard Dragonflight was ok but I dunno I don't play MMOs.

The most recent lovely game they made was overwatch 2 and that barely counts. Other than that I guess there's the last sc2 expansion. Remasters or whatever don't count as something to use to guess about a full fledged game like d4, imo. Immortal was just a phone game, irrelevant.

No the one with the best numbers is active. Or just one in the case of that legendary. I bet if you had a 2her (which would have more extra skeletons) and a regular armor piece, you'd get the benefit of the 2her.

Rod Furgeson had an interview on the Xbox twitch channel, but didn't really have anything to say about future updates. Just that Diablo Immortal is getting a new class soon, and that he "hears us" about a gem bag. Diablo Immortal isn't necessary for Blizzard to continue to update though, they can go ahead and shut that down and no one will feel that anything of value was lost.

I think it really works for a certain kind of long term player. I got bored immediately and shouldn’t have bought it, but I was reading the SA threads at the time and plenty of goons were raving about it.

Fueled by Satan

I asked in clan chat the other day if anyone could make a good case for using Primal Shred instead of Raging Shred with a mainly poison werewolf druid build and I finally found it with the aspect that applies damage instantly on poisoned enemies nearby when dashing with Shred. Poisoning huge packs of enemies then using the 3 dashes with shred to jump across the group, detonating all the poison stacks and killing most things instantly is reeeeal satisfying. The biggest issue I run into is when I'm out of spirit and have to take a couple swings with the staff before being able to shred-dash into or out of trouble. It gets easy to zone out while holding down shred not realizing I'm not swinging anymore because it takes a surprising amount of spirit to do.

People keep vandalizing my ID photo; I've lodged a complaint with HR
Thanks folks for the suggestions. Yes I'm in Tier 1 and was using a build but the ones on Fextralife seem to fit me better. I now understand how aspects work, just have to get past my usual wanting to keep everything until end game because there may never be an end game for me. Which is fine, I know I'll get at least 100 hours out of the game anyway and that's all I ask for.

I've never stuck around WOW for more than 1-2 months each expansion but Dragonflight i've still got my sub going and probably will through at minimum another month or two. It's been a huge shock to me as I expect the absolute worst from bliz, doubly so after the whole OW2 debacle.

Is this accurate?

my current understanding on optimum-ish play:
- finish campaign asap, since you can't get to world tier 3 without finishing it
- you also get your mount in act 4, which speeds up moving around the world
- once you're done with the campaign, prioritize getting renown 3 in all zones (for the extra skill points)
- you'll probably want to tackle the capstone dungeon around L45-50 and unlock wt3
- then focus on renown 5 in all zones (for the extra paragon points) -- prioritize waypoints, altars, and strongholds -- pick up sidequests and do them too, but you can only have 20 at a time (try to only do dungeons if there's a sidequest for it, or a tree of whispers reward, or a nightmare sigil for it)
- helltide events are a great way to gear up, but only up every other hour
- you can dabble in nightmare dungeons as well, but prioritize renown 5 first
- you'll probably want to tackle the capstone dungeon around L60-65 and unlock wt4
- then do nightmare dungeons that are 3 levels above you (for 25% xp bonus) -- try to run Nightmare Dungeon Level (YourLevel - 51) [e.g. NM19 at L70] and keep doing helltide etc.

Why does my GPU go into overdrive when I'm at the armor vendor in Kyovashad?

I have a 60fps frame cap in game, so it's not the usual "we uncapped the framerate lol" prank devs like to pull ever so often.

How. Why. Just why.
It's the small animation of the vendor inside the window, isn't it?
Rendered at full 4k with raytracing and scaled down?
Full hairworks on the fur hat and coat?

For some reason vendor screens are maxing GPU. Nobody really knows why, inlcuding Blizzard apparently, because they pushed a band-aid hotfix yesterday that seems to cap fps in vendor screens at 60 even if you have no cap / a higher FPS cap.

So I'm like 24 and have been playing in WT1. I switched to 2 and joined my friend's game last night. I beat the the Druid city stronghold Tul Whatever in WT1, but it reverted back to it's original status in my friend's game. Is this because I switched WTs or because he hadn't done that in his game?

if this is accurate this helps me.

also, go back and do sidequests post-campaign too?

This matches my understanding, although the reneown -> paragon grind is long, so you might want to do T3 dungeons and poo poo before fully maxing all 5 renown areas.
