How do I turn off randos showing in my 2-player game? They cause a ton of lag and rubber banding when they show up.

Against the advice of the thread, I started the game in HC. Is there a HC clan? I recall D3 had one, though I am not sure if the clan can have HC/non-HC people mixed.

Also, the game seems kind of boring so far, the skills are kind of bland and enemies seem too tanky. I had to throw in the towel last night because I was literally falling asleep mid battle while progressing the Act 1 story quest. It feels like it is missing something that the other games all had that I cannot quite identify. Hopefully it picks up once you have enough skill points to have a coherent build or something. Currently a 29 sorc because I thought the sorc would be better at not dying to pick up some Lilith statues to help the next character.

I felt the same way leveling my sorc 1-50. it's the level scaling, mainly, that makes it feel like you're never really making progress. I ended up beelining main quest and not even fighting most enemies. I think the game is pretty, some zones and quests are neat. combat gets a bit better and I'm hoping it gets much better once I get neato items dropping. the multiplayer aspect is well done and fun.

not aware of any SA HC clan yet

No throwing javelins in game yet. But yes, there is a viable rogue bow build - penetrating shot. Haven't seen anything else comparable using a bow though

Figured I'd reply to this since I made my own build and I'm having zero problems. But I'm running a rogue bow/trap build and I absolutely melt most single targets. Traps are good for damage too.

Running Forceful Arrow, Rapid Shot, Smoke Grenade, Poison Trap, Poison Imbuement, and Shadow Trap.

Took the aspect that turns my smoke grenade into a trap, and I went whole hog on +trap damage and +damage to enemies in traps. My ult + poison trap combo clears entire groups, and Poison Imbuement + 3 Combo Point Rapid Fire shreds single targets. The amount of stacking +damage you can get is absurd.

My mobility is kind of trash, but with 3 dodge charges I haven't felt that was a huge issue.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
I got six whispering keys and I've seen six silent chest drops that were much worse than any unlocked chest. Regular chest? Usually a blue min, yellows common, sometimes a legendary. Silent chests? Always 2-3 drops but usually 1-2 whites and 1-2 blues. What an awful god drat addition to the game. I'll be burning oboes at the gambler directly until patched. :v:

No, any points you get while they're locked will immediately count once you finish the capstone dungeon.

If I remember right, as soon as I switched to t3, it applied all the renown I had previously been collecting to the total. You'd just be locked out collecting the reward if you managed to hit the 3rd cap before moving to t3.

Don't take this as gospel though

renown can't be wasted. you simply don't get the reward until you unlock WT3. so go wild really

Here's an important question, if I convert Corpse Explosion to shadow DOT, do those cum puddles I make stack damage? Or do enemies only take damage from one of them at once?

edit: also when it says "Your damage has a chance to create corpse" or "You deal increased damage to cursed enemies", do those both include my skeletons?

the game will kick you back to character select after not too long idle so you don't need to worry about that.

When a weapon gives +Vulnerable % below the line, does it apply only to attacks from that weapon, or any attack/spell you do?

Everything. Open up your stat screen thing from your character window, find the Vulnerable Damage stat and watch it change when you equip/unequip that item. Weapons aren't really "weapons", they're just another item.

I'm really curious to see what the battle pass is gonna be like, because I almost always deck my characters out in more "ordinary" gear. Guy looking like a dang marvel cinematic universe is no fun. If it's just glowy bits and demon horses it'll be super easy to not get it.

I'm actually wondering this myself. poo poo like the butterfly wings and mini battlecrusier pet was fine for D3 but that really, really wouldn't fit what kind of theme they are going for in 4 at all.

Is it generally better to hold off on putting legendary aspects on things until the post game? Putting aspects on gear costing legendary mats is really limiting when I'm being miserly with salvaging my legendaries because "what if I need this aspect with a good roll for later?"

I dunno, if it makes people happy to use 'em more power to them. They wanna spend more and give the game a longer tooth as a result that's fine. The time for people to have gotten mad about cosmetics in a fully priced game probably should have been when DLCs were introduced two decades ago, the ship has sailed, etc

If it's literally a perfect roll on the aspect yeah maybe hold off on it but otherwise the power gain you get from putting it on something now is probably going to help you kill things faster and thus get more legendaries.

Totally unrelated and I'm sure answered at some point but are you meant to spend Obols while leveling? I was at cap after a few events so I spent down a bit and I got a few unique weapons as a result but they're obviously at like 20ish. If you dust them do you save the unique abilities like you did in D3?

I never played D3 but had played the poo poo out of D2 despite being bad at it. Where is a good place to read up on simple stuff like "how do I switch weapons as a barb", "what skills are good to have for long term", and what are the fancy words I see people in this thread using, like capstone, sigil, and techniques ?"

You don't need to learn the lingo to run the T1 cinematic leveling experience and hitting the imps with any random stick will finish the campaign. Afterwards if you want to get on the current endgame treadmill, there are only a few viable skill combos that 95% of the gold farmers and internet beggars run because the majority of skills in this game are so anemic they can be considered cosmetic.

In COD I enjoy customizing my little weapons and using my idiot skins because I like cool guns and because I like the idea of people seeing an enormously hung man dressed like a red panda or a guy who looks like Joe Biden wearing a weed themed hazmat suit before they die. In this one I enjoy tinkering with my characters so they look neat even though it's only for me, but there's limits to just how much customization you can actually do at the end of the day. I'm still happier with a character that looks good, but I'm not sure I need more than what's already in the game.
