It'd have a good shot at goty if it wasn't already locked down as hard as Elden Ring locked down last year for sure. D4's a good game and has potential to carry Diablo onward another decade.

Gejimayu posted:Just unlocked the barbarian expertise system thingy. So, if I want to use the 2h Sword bonus, and I equip it, will the expertise level up for it when I use other weapons, or do I have to be actively using a 2h sword for the experience? I'm thoroughly enjoying HotA but can't do that with a 2h sword and my expertise level is only 1 on that weapon type. you have to use a 2h sword to get the expertise levels

Anyone else having skills just not activating sometime? Like poison creeper will be off cooldown but feels like I have to mash the button between 2-4 times before it actually casts... and no I'm not stunned.

Sometimes my character just looks like there stuck in an animation and then the attack comes out. Seems to happen when there is a lot of enemies on screen so maybe it's lag or something.

I finally made it to the boss of the first capstone dungeon. I think he one-shot me with something on the first try. He was down to like the last third on the second try and then he just disappeared. Now what?

Might be a bit early but FFXVI is likely in that conversation from what's been shown and how reviewers have talked about what they've played during the preview period. There's also the possibility that if starfield launches relatively bug free it could be in the Convo, and of course Baldurs Gate 3 launches as well.

In any case, there's nothing you can do but reset the dungeon and hope it doesn't happen again. Try grabbing some help to kill him before he has the chance to bug out. That's what I finally had to do on attempt 4 after two falling through the world and one game crash forced to to clear it all again.

Horizon Burning posted:can we get more info on metzen being a creative bully? it was always kinda funny seeing him strut around like a rockstar when he had thrall the self-insert and was seemingly responsible for so much of blizzard's poor writing Comfortable sharing some of the broad strokes, sure. As early as Burning Crusade, he habitually overprioritized his ideas over others'. It was less that other people's ideas were consistently bad/expensive/incongruent, and more about territoriality and excessive/misplaced pride. His story is not unlike that of his contemporaries; he made his name by being above average in his professional youth (e.g. Warcraft II & III, WoW, etc.), he got high on his own farts (the first hints of which were in StarCraft II, if not his interminable "GEEK IS ____" speech at BlizzCon), and his creative entropy rendered him obsolete. Interpersonally he is a warm, magnetic dude. Professionally I never want to be anywhere near him again (at least until he learns to trust way more than he historically has). Tornhelm posted:The only thing that matters for users is "the end result". Whatever it may be like in a hypothetical future is completely irrelevant. Sure its likely that a lot of the problems may be fixed in the future, but until that happens it's got nothing to do with anyone playing the game now, and to be honest given Blizzard's history they're just as likely to gently caress poo poo up in other new and exciting ways that make everything worse. I agree a hypothetical future is irrelevant; it's why I didn't bring one up! I also agree pretending there aren't problems is bad. It's OK to point them out (as long as it doesn't devolve into threadshitting). Since we seem to be talking past each other a bit, I'll clarify: my initial crux involves the 4 year timeframe. While it's on the longer end of a game dev cycle, we don't yet know if it was reasonable given the project's complexity and scope. Maybe they generally did the high level things right and needed more time. Perhaps COVID had an outsized impact given the studio culture (and the historic nature of the event, but that's a bigger topic). Or there could've been systemic mismanagement. Point is, it's cool to say "this game needed more time in the oven" or "golly they were inefficient"; we just can't say either yet based on the publicly-available info. Assessing the sufficiency of a 4-year cycle based on the current state of the game is reductive. Avalerion posted:Anyone else having skills just not activating sometime? Like poison creeper will be off cooldown but feels like I have to mash the button between 2-4 times before it actually casts... and no I'm not stunned. Yep! I most often experience it when there's even the slightest obstruction around myself and/or the thing I'm targeting. It's not anything expected like a closed door, it's more like a fraction of a corner. In cases like that, Shift + <button> usually work for me.

Poke your head around for sure, maybe look for a world event that has other people around to carry you. The jump in power of ancestral gear is pretty huge compared to sacred, so if you can find just a couple pieces it will start to snowball.

If you can leech w/o harming, it may only take a few Helltide Mystery chests to reach critical mass. If nothing else, you could get some nice Ancestral gear to help you power through to ~68 in WT3

Mehrunes posted:Is there an easy non-minion respec for summoner necros to get past the cathedral of light softlock? I used bone spear, tendrils, the curse that makes them do less damage, and corpse explosion of course. Take the passives that buff core skills, bone skills, and defensives. Going blood mist may have been better than the curse, but I was too enamored with the passive that let me do more damage to cursed enemies. I did use reaper skeletons though and had no problem with the boss despawning. Also this was supposedly hotfixed 4 hours ago.

 Necropinons Minion builds are super fun when leveling. It feels good having you and 12 skelebros and a golem big bro kicking rear end through dungeons. Also, they aren't nearly as crap at end-game as the meme meta would suggest. They are totally viable to run at T4. However, they just aren't very efficient. Damage is lackluster at best, but the biggest thing at least in my opinion is that they are annoying to play when target management is critical. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this would be but being to order them around at least to the extent of attacking the target you're currently attacking would help a lot. Another thing that would help: some way of teleporting all the stupid little guys next to you. Right now they'll happily just attack immune mobs and that feels bad. Bone spirit and Bone spear are the meta builds for a reason: they really kick rear end - especially late end-game bone spirit. But it's a shame that blood and shadow builds (much more so blood) are in such a bad shape. It'd just be nice to have a little more variety. Not every build is going to be great at any one time but elevating the lesser used builds would be nice. Lastly, for the love of all that is holy Blizzard, please give us some movement love. Maybe something to swap places with a minion? Maybe Bone storm turns into a freaking bone tornado and speeds us up? I don't really care what it is but always playing catchup with every other class like the perpetual little brother who can't keep up on his bike is not great. Overall, Necros own but could own even more.

The whole 'no traversal/horse' speed in towns poo poo is obnoxious. There are so many annoying little things that add up to be infuriating. Delayed horse after you had to climb under a rock. The pointless slow exit from portals. The needless freeze in movement when you get dehorsed by a doorway. Even poo poo like having a cast time on using friend portals. It's all minor little incidences but they add up.

Hello friends sorry if it's been asked, but is a total wind druid build viable? Not just Storm, but full in on Wind Shear, Tornado, Cyclone armor, etc, without any earth or shapeshifting if possible. Maybe a little lightning as a treat. I'm roughly lvl 25 and right now it feels a bit...dangerous. But I just like blowing people.

Valicious posted: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. You might use something like antimicro to map keys to controller inputs

After 30 min of switching to this build a legendary dropped that makes tornado homing. Game is very good
