Dumb question, if I consumed a nightmare sigil, how do I find the dungeon it goes with?

I didn't notice it for other people I killed (the icon is red), but I guess it's pretty chaotic.

The game has been officially out for like 1.5 days, and most people have school, a job, or other hobbies so they aren't all 20+ hours into the game.

Trust me, there's tons of people doing events, hanging out in town, or idling by the tree of whispers. I meant, the tech that decides how many people are in the same area as you should group more people in pvp. I don't think there's only 1-2 people in the pvp zone in all the world.

It has a different icon. Also, if you look at the minimap it shows icon so you know the general direction of it. It's not good UX and I wish it just teleported you to the dungeon. Unless I am missing something.

If the nightmare dungeon location is at a stronghold you haven't liberated yet, you won't be able to do that until it's done.

Possibly it's a question of how many players are in your networked location and your world tier and are the right group configuration to fit onto your shard along with some wonkiness with how the shared PvP shard status is calculated. I've absolutely seen some weirdness where the area wouldn't respawn mobs for a while, empty zones, or absolutely jam-packed zones. If I feel like things are getting too heavy I just swap to the other zone and back-and-forth as necessary.

Definitely been having intermittent connection issues today, and now it just flat out kicked me and is in maintenance mode? (which you'd only know via launcher, they should really have a pop-up about this kind of thing in-game)

Finally found a good gear upgrade after like 5h of not changing my gear! Imprinted it, socketed it up and... accidentally salvaged it while dealing with the rest of my inventory, because I thought I had equipped it and was salvaging my old gear. Either I flat out hadn't or had accidentally switched it back out again while imprinting or whatever. :negative: Oh well, I have completed my altar/renown grinds so it's a good time to try out other classes I think.

The context here is I activated the dungeon. Forgot the name of the dungeon. I went to the map but none of the icons I had found were any different. It wasn't until I tried activating a different nightmare dungeon that it gave me the name again. The icon wasn't any different, but...

I am level 40 and still can't make the level 30 potion upgrade. I am having the worst luck finding crushed beast bones. Only have 2 so far. Various guides have come up short. Their recommended elites don't spawn, cellar/mine chests drop some potion mats but never crushed beast bones after 20 attempts, etc. Such a weird roadblock, even after hanging out in the zone where they are supposed to drop for a long time.

Somebody might have already quoted this with the same advice I am about to give but just in case there's a named monster, Gasper Stilbain is the name, that drops 5 of the things guaranteed. It's just west of the Whispering Pines dungeon in Scotsglen in the northeastern part of it.

Those things are a weird bottleneck, everything else I have had in massive, massive quantities before I even get close to being able to upgrade the potions. With those even at like, level 56 I have like, 8 total + the 5 I spent upgrading my potions so 13 have dropped for me.

I'm new to Diablo so maybe someone here can answer a question for me. I have a 1-handed weapon with 7.6% Cooldown Reduction listed above the divider line, and then below the divider line another bullet point says 8.7% Cooldown Reduction. Does that mean this weapon has double Cooldown Reduction bonuses? Is that a thing?

yes its a thing in D4 and yes they are added together. So you have 16.3 cooldown reduction from that one weapon.

I don’t think the game starts the dungeon if you can’t get there yet.

I don't think I've ever been able to properly quit the game. It just freezes when I quit and crashes when I alt tab.

I've noticed a lot more animation/scripting bugs popping up in the later acts, like when you need to transport a quest item to a city and it falls out of your inventory if you use the waypoint, or an NPC with dialogue that won't activate (I think that one actually got fixed in the most recent patch). Still relatively bug-free compared to most AAA releases these days but you can tell they were crunching.

I just started yesterday straight on world tier 2. I have my druid up to level 17. I tried the druid grove quest and the boss is ridiculously hard for me. Do I need to come back later? With the level scaling... Will that even help?

You could try T1 for that fight?

More levels can help by giving you more skill points to gain access to better abilities (i.e. maybe some defensives you don't have yet?)

Yep!

And world scaling doesn't mean things always get harder - when you unlock good skills or get new gear, you'll feel a power spike. Most classes have one in the 15-25 range.

So what happens to our current character build in the near future? There's going to be battle pass that resets every 3 months or so, right? Is the character we are leveling up now just going to stick around outside of the battle pass?
