Late to the party but seconding the love for Deathblow, at least for now.

I also like how there is an auto select for which weapon to use for skills. Yeah, it is very Head Empty but I like it.

I gotta ask, even if only to trigger the "complain about it and it will drop" phenomenon:

Have they straight up removed the Shockwave aspect for druids from the game?
Lvl 60, hundreds of legendaries, easily 3000+ obols traded, alternating between gloves and totems, since I'm not quite sure whether totems count as 1H weapons or if are they branded "offhand"?
Since they can only roll offensive aspects, I figured it might be the better choice for gambling?

Do I need to be at a certain level for it to drop?
Nightmare dungeons?
Do I need to burying a dead cat a midnight and spit in a witches' eye?

So much fun grinding for a build defining item drop... at this point I feel once I get it, I can't even get excited about it anymore.

having the same issue with the barb aspect that decreases cooldown of shouts based on nearby enemies when cast. level 63 and haven't seen a single one. only rolls on rings so I've spent all my obols on rings but no luck

Agreed!

And for folks (at least on PC) who would like the game to be less grey:
- Options -> Graphics -> Sharpen Image to ~50
- Use the Levels shader in Reshade

Before/after:




Someone upthread astutely observed this mimics D2's light radius. It's pretty great imo

I have a physical disability where I can’t use my hands, so I use an Xbox controller (just the L-stick to move) and mouse+kb. My problem is that the game stops accepting mouse or keyboard input whenever the controller is used. This results in me being unable to move and use abilities at the same time. Is there any way I can get around this? I’ve played tons of games (Cyberpunk, FFXIV, many more) that natively support both input sources at once.

It's clear you're not going to get the game and you have to reach to try to attack it by guessing at screenshots when anyone who has sat down with it knows better, so why lurk this thread? Couldn't you go play a game you enjoy? I'm not sure why you're chasing this fantasy that if you deliver a sick enough empty-headed take that we'll all wake up and demand refunds or something.

Anyone down for some quazi-split farming? Currently doing act 3 stuff at lvl 46.

What I am thinking is one person clears a dungeon until boss, the other does side quests, tracks down shrines (and walks the other to it after said dungeon) in the area close to the dungeon.

Come in for boss fight, then switch rolls for the next area.

It would be nice to have someone to help with the bosses or revives as well as its the one place im still dying semi-regularly playing solo.

Also if anyone has a better idea or guide or more effiecent method on how to split farm and the best way to figure out the most efficent/fair division of labor I would love to hear it.

Lastflowers#1904 if your down, or if your looking to party up with someone else grinding act3 and wanting to finish the main story line by tonight.

I've been spamming the channel everytime I'm at the end of dungeon, and some people take me up on the offer. Its easy renown and finding a good rythem with some goons seems like it would be worth the small effort.

Also Im under the impression that Min/maxing every dumb angle was the point of every diablo game ever.

(its also really annoying clearing bosses alone, because dying eats up a ton of time)

Speaking of nit picks, and opinions no one actually cares about!.

As far as the game goes I am loving it, yes its no d2 but nothing ever will be (aside from D2R). But I'm enjoying it more then reaper of souls and that got about 1000+ hours out of me.

The only part I'm finding noticeably underwhelming is the shallow pool for different monsters. However, they did add cannibals as a creature subtype, and I feel like that mostly makes up for it.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

I kinda feel the same, but I also have my long time blizzard BFF who I have played diablo/wc3 with since high school. Hes got two kids and other so-called "responsibilities". Its been nice to be able to just jump in a game with him when he is twently levels lower and not be just carrying him until he catches up. Not sure how well thats gonna scale to higher difficulties though.

Google Butt posted:

I thought I only loved the game for nostagia reasons so much because of how much I loved it in highschool. But a few of my friends picked it up having only played d3 before, and of them flat out stated its the best loving game hes ever played.

Stripping aspects and adding it to items is mechanically better, but the unique/set items were indeed more fun to find.

all you need to do to make uniques viable is add an entire market economy. go buy and sell stuff on path of exile for 5 hours and tell me if you want uniques to be the main thing for builds after that.

Hmm I may actually be able to run my necro without a builder skill at this point. I made it through a dungeon without using it, but I think I may still get screwed if all my reaper skeletons get killed at a boss and I have no other way of generating corpses. Gotta check out some aspects to see if there's something that can help me there.
