Is it possible on PS5 to do couch co-op with a spouse, and online co-op at same time with another couple in another house?

Similarly, does anyone know if you need two paid PSN subs/accounts to play couch co-op or can you play two characters from the same PSN account? Can the other person be a guest?

Zero stutters (beyond lag rubber banding, actual video stutters) on ultra, high res textures with a 2080. Also no texture loading problems. I suspect it's something else.

The issue has been reported a bunch of times so it must be a problem with the game on certain configurations. There’s nothing else I can do on my end besides turn the texture quality down.

I tried playing this on my 4k tv a couple times with a controller and it ran like rear end every time with huge stutters all over the place. 3080ti/5800x3d, I think I had textures set to ultra then and can probably dial back the AA a bit but I was surprised at how kinda terribly it ran.

How does group leveling work when players are at different levels? Does one side get penalized more than the other in terms of xp gain?

If you're chasing an Aspect, it seems like the best thing to do would be:

-Figure out which type of Items it can spawn on eg;

-Gamble the cheapest one of those?

So in that case, gamble Gloves for 40 spacebucks each?

Everything scales to your own level so you can group with pretty much anyone at any level and everyone gets an appropriate amount of XP. It works really well for partying up with friends who are all at different stages of the game without having to powerlevel someone up to your level first.

My guess is play the game and kill lots of bosses and elites. Your classes legendaries seem to drop a lot. Just IMHO

I can't find anything with that specific name, and just searching "Goon Squad" brings up too many results.

The level scaling is tailored to each player uniquely. Frankly they might as well not even show the level of the other players given how useful that information is.

The one wrinkle to this is if the character is brand new. I joined a ~lvl 40 friend last night with a lvl 1 druid and I was just getting one shot left and right up until I hit about lvl 13. I think it scaled my stuff ot that, because all the gear that was dropping for me was 13 until I got past that, and all the mobs were lvl 20.

Great xp though, I got to lvl 20 in like an hour.

I think Ultra requires over 12 GB RAM (i.e. RTX 4090) to run consistently well, but that may have changed since the Beta

I will say turning up Sharpness to ~50 significantly improved the visuals for me regardless of what I set Texture Quality to

:thatsrad:

Okay thank you for this. I have a 3070 and was using the ultra textures on 1440p, game is super smooth except for loading new areas, towns, entering a new spot, etc, where it stutters and hitches like all gently caress. Could that be why? I don't have enough vram? Should I turn down the texture quality?

Blighted corpse explosion and less whiny friends. Oh, I'm sorry, is my consistent high damage getting in the way of your little fireballs?

Alternatively, crit boosted bone spear or going mostly in on summoning both work fine. Can spec out of shadows and switch back to normal corpse explosion.

If you can do it, the next capstone and then regular WT4 stuff, but you may want to wait till 60 and grab a weapon upgrade in the capstone, makes things a lot easier. T19 suggests you can probably do it

I did my 55-60 grind just spamming random 10+ nightmare dungeons

"Ranged" aiming is probably one of the lesser issues in Diablo 4, a game where you can barely see ten feet in front of you thanks to patented TurboZoom(tm). My biggest aiming issue is when an enemy is too close, so it decides ice shards need to fire exactly one pixel to the left and miss the entire volley.

This is why sorcs (and necros I hear but cannot confirm) are really in need of a rework. There's a whole lot of normally cool gameplay synergies, even if sorc is just barrier plus vulnerability, that make packs vanish in a red mist in a very satisfying way. At early (like pre-50) levels that sucks, because you don't have the CDR on gear and the aspects to really pull off your combo on every pack so you sit and spin while cooldowns/mana come back. Then everything comes online and it's great... and then you hit the high end where your single-target is total poo poo because all those combos rely on statuses that bosses are all immune to.

Ideally they'd eventually add in more legendaries to bridge the gap and maybe tweak some mechanics. I remember seeing a talent or aspect at some point that worked differently for bosses so it's a thing they already can do. Basically just bump everyone into Rogue territory and we're good until more content gets added that dorks it all up again.

I might be lucky but my single-target is enough to kill the average nightmare dungeon boss in about 10 seconds regardless (+3-5 levels over character).
It's a mixture of MASSIVE close-range-bonus damage, and the fact that with 5 sources of hard CC (4 teleports + frost nova) + random shock stuns, I can usually stagger the boss within that period.

There are exceptions of course like Butcher who is a huge rear end in a top hat with a stun bar that is impossible to fill reasonably - but he becomes a matter of kiting and running circles around him.
If Arc Lash gets nerfed (and I'm afraid it will) things are going to suck a whole lot more. Arc Lash is INSANE right now.
