I get that we need an end game grind but these just seem un fun in a way that grifting for gem upgrades never was. edit: on the other hand, the hell invasions or whatever they're called are great fun. They just need to tweak the poo poo out of NM.

CLAM DOWN posted: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? Probably. I get all kinds of stutters on ultra textures, no stutters at high textures.

You can make NM dungeons fun by running ones that are 10 levels higher than you Ive found. It becomes quite a challenge then and even 2 elite packs will make for a tough long battle

Zotix posted:I do agree with the poster earlier that the game runs out of steam around 70. They really need to look at the benefits or lack thereof for Nightmare dungeons. Yeah, nightmare dungeons only feel useful to push glyphs, but it takes so many to push a glyph it's absurd. If I could somehow clear a level 100 nightmare dungeon it wouldn't push a glyph from 14 to 15. As it stands I have to do dozens to get my 2nd glyph to 15 and I don't really want to. And I have to re-roll affixes on the ancestral ones because some of them are terrible. Maybe I should just blitz the last tier of sacreds to level my glyph, but it's hard to blitz them because there's so much walking around. I dunno, probably just going to take a break and see if they have a roadmap or something. It was fun up to WT4 though. Anyone who's wondering what you should do besides nightmare dungeons it's hell tides(use the map to get mystery chests) and fields of hatred, also timed events like legion/world bosses are worth it for the time spent. Mikojan posted:You can make NM dungeons fun by running ones that are 10 levels higher than you Ive found. I'm doing I think level 80 ones at 65, it's not that they aren't fun to do, they just aren't rewarding enough compared to other content, but I like the other content less because there's even more running around and less fighting.

Nightmare Dungeons should really teleport you directly to the instance like GRs. It's a huge waste of time to ride the horsey out to each one, really interrupts the Diablo flow.

Can confirm! I'm on a 3080 myself. I rarely get stutters on High but frequently get them on Ultra. Was the same in the Beta IMO save some hard drive space and uninstall high res textures (Bnet launcher -> gear icon by the D4 Play button in the bottom left -> Modify Install -> Modify Install (again) -> uncheck High Resolution Textures -> Start Update)

The early grind to unlock crafting/higher tiers isn't great (both in level of fun and transparency of the system)

the pvp is incredible. the zone is full of extremely high density elite packs that seem to have an even higher drop rate than normal. the pvp reward isn't the bloodgems, its having the farming zone to yourself (and looting peoples ears to go in your trophy case)

I have a 3080 and it's buttery smooth on ultra for me, but I upgraded my CPU relatively recently so maybe that's the bottleneck?

I like how Blizzard added all these accessibility options and then gives you a tiny (even when set to "large") mouse cursor with a nice mushy gray color. PSA that you can nab this program for free to replace it with a nice hot pink mouse cursor: https://pandateemo.github.io/YoloMouse/ That program is essentially an overlay though, and I've seen it it crash on rare occasion; if it crashes it will seem like your monitor is black because just the overlay is black. You can ctrl-alt-del to close it and open it back up though.

I'm worried that they are going to do the same poo poo they did with WoW and never have separate balancing for PvE and PvP so PvE is always going to be handicapped by PvP.

Man, I keep trying different builds with Barb, but in the end I almost always come back to something bleed-based. Rend just deal such insane damage, nothing else seems able to keep up. A single sweep usually puts enough bleed on any regular enemy to kill them, and three or four tend to do for most elites. Sure it takes a few seconds for them to actually die, but it's usually no issue just using that time to go after the next group anyway. It's even pretty decent against bosses, especially when you can make them vulnerable.

D-Pad posted:Honestly I barely use gold so I just salvage every yellow I find and I have so many mats I can upgrade anything 3 times even when I'm switching gear out pretty frequently and be fine. I'm saving the higher lvl mats for upgrading end game but upgrading 3 times is on auto for me. "I barely use gold" boy do I have bad news about the inevitable enchanting you will want to do! I think the 2nd roll on a slot for a sacred item was gonna set me back $500,000...
