Give me the reins, I have some ideas to make the game better: 2x mobs everywhere helltide always active in at least one zone you can bust through the gimmick doors in dungeons if you yell at your screen loud enough

that all sounds good but then people would progress too quickly and they won't be around long enough to impulse buy nearly as many cosmetics

Hey! It’s me, ya girl astryl here to screech about cows again. If you see any weird black and white cows let me know. I’m pretty sure I’ve narrowed the whole thing down try figuring out how to trigger the hidden quest track, which subsequently gives you the items required to open the cellar door and make the portal. Like opening the shack for infernal machines in D3. The quest trigger should be somewhere relatively easily to get to and likely need to be repeatable. I don’t think the portal would be infinite but I’m not confirmed on this.

Maybe they would go in other dungeons more if they had a reason. Perhaps... maybe buff density in other dungeons? Perish the thought really. Did you not do Baal runs back in the days? Were you also going "ehhh running one dungeon is such a gamer brain" back then?

Do bosses count as Elites as far as abilities/item affixes are concerned? Like for example a passive ability that gives 3% dmg reduction from Elites?

They did a blanket nerf to elite spawns in all dungeons today, the "good" dungeons are still good because everything got worse. D2R addressed the issue of not enough variety in end-game zones by first increasing the number of max level areas, and then adding Terror Zones which change every hour. Blizzard could have also kept the elite spawn rate the same in Nightmare Dungeons to give more incentive to run them instead of regular dungeons, but they got hit too. Feels bad to run a dungeon full of level 115 enemies and get one pack of elite monsters that isn't tied to the objective.

PringleCreamEgg posted:I beat the campaign and want to do a little plot talk. Overall it was far better than D3’s plot but I do have some confusion. Inarius is basically just confirmed for being a dumbass and is maybe worse than Lilith from what I’m getting. Lilith had demon morality but cared about the future of Humanity in her hosed up way, but Inarius didn’t care if everyone died as long as he could get back to heaven. So why did we never just try to talk to Lilith, she seemed like she may have listened to reason. Less of a waste of time than talking to Inarius, anyway. Inarius works better with the idea that Mephisto basically got into his head and made him the hateful angel chud he became. Also adds a nice poignancy to the act 6 cutscene where you can tell Lilith was hoping if she could talk to him directly she could bring him around. Instead, he's just another being her dad got to and turned them into a hate husk. The sigh and headshake really sell this interpretation imo. Diablo 3 still happened and it's why everything is extra hosed up in Sanctuary (like more so than usual) after Malthael went Thanos on humanity. I agree it's not really ever explicitly called out and doesn't really show up other than just noticing how hosed up locations that were in D3 are in D4 and the odd Lorath callback. I want to know what "The Nephalam" and Tyrael are up to since they are both conspicuously absent thus far. Edit: Whole lot of anger in this thread. Maybe Mephisto is here too

More like saying this isn't a poe thing but more of how people played the game and will continue to play the game. A lot of people like playing games optimally cause its fun or efficient depending on their mindset. Just buff other dungeons instead of nerfing the fun dungeons and fun elite spawns and people will naturally disperse to variety of dungeons. People like blowing up mobs in diablo.

Currently the best 2 xp farms are: A) Charnel House + Champions Demise (alternate the Dungeons- clearing one resets the other and they are a short run apart) B) Uldur's Cave (exit menu reset) Uldur's gives about 10 million xp/hr - where the pre-nerf eridu gave around 22, now it gives about 7.5. NM Dungeons still do not give worthwhile xp benefits.

Gwaihir posted:D3 never really increased density with difficulty. Even on the last most recent season, if you wanted to push to the level 150 cap on greater rifts, it was very common to need to repeatedly open and close rifts simply looking for one with enough mob density to complete in time. (This is also the point that I quit in D3 seasons, because it's incredibly loving obnoxious to need to do that). Not by difficulty, over the games lifespan.

Kaysette posted:Decided to look up the cosmetic PVP armor and it looks like poo poo? It’s also very expensive. Every single Necro legendary looks better than it. The rogue one with the belt of ears was pretty good. The gloves also have a stitched look that I guess is supposed to be human skin. The pants and boots are just plan and a total waste. All the other class pieces suck though. No idea why they didn't give every class the ear belt so people can recognize it as pvp loot.

The rogue was corrupted by Andariel and became Blood Raven, the act 1 lady you kill for Akara. The sorcerer became the Summoner, the guy you kill in Act 2 to learn where Tal Rasha's tomb is.

I noticed lately after delving a bit in diablo lore and the warcraft LP that Blizzard, if nothing else, has a real knack for find the most obscure one line references of nobodies in past stories and spinning them into future major plot points or story lines. This of course brings with it a lot of reconning and confusion.

I think Helltides mystery chests scratch that D2 loot pinata itch much more than NDs, at least until you realize that you have already seen all the possible aspects for your class outside of uniques after 10 runs or so

Yeah very rare if Baal runs ended up killing Baal unless it was like everyone's last run or something. But yeah lack of socials hurt honestly, especially considering how strong party play is right now. Also its hilarious seeing people try to find the next farming spot and I think in Korea people are doing Call of the Ancients run right now where they get a person that didn't do the sidequest to open up the area, party up and farm the area

It could be related to the cow level puzzle. On closer inspection, the above is an unrelated quest. They just forgot to turn the interaction off once it's finished. There might be something cow related in Shrouded Moors or its stronghold Moordaine Lodge though. Blizzard loves puns. Also, there's another set of oxen heads at Bluffs of Olzei in the passage between Khargai Crags and Jakha Basin. No plaque on them.
