That Italian Guy posted:[*]Regular Loot: Any single monster in the Throne could drop something nice, given their level. You could get a High Rune off a trash mob, a nice base, socketed or eth item. You could get a nice rare or a unique/legendary from trash maybe? But anything below rare is useless, so killing trash is mostly a waste of time. Runes and runewords are really the thing that I'm feeling the absence of, more than anything else. The rarest drops being a handful of class/general uniques sucks. I guess there's the ultra rare shako but I'd rather get pieces of something similar in the form of rare runes over time.

I definitely feel more squishy in this game than I ever did in Grim Dawn for example. I like resistances that actually work with the displayed percentage. With armor reducing physical damage taken. Is that too much to ask?

That Italian Guy posted:Yeah it's very badly explained. The tooltip is also lying to you most of the time, when it comes down to how much damage you are doing (because it doesn't account for conditional bonuses of course). There are also tooltips that are flat out confusing, like Hydra having 60%+ lucky hit on its tooltip but being unable to proc Frost Nova enchantment to save its life. fyi, Hydra is procing Frost nova for me

DaveKap posted:Just because 3 people in a forum thread (and half of Reddit) complain doesn't mean ARPG players aren't in the market for what Diablo 4 offers. I could write a nice essay about how Diablo 4 is trying to separate itself from all previous titles and the current competition while still catering to folks who love something from any of those other titles. I'm enjoying the game and I go wild in PoE, Last Epoch, D2R, and D3 again this past year. Heck I even downloaded that Ghostlore ARPG off game pass so I could enjoy me some ARPG action before the D4 launch. I'm definitely a loot nut. Diablo 4 has a lot of issues to work out but it's still in a way better place than Diablo 3 was for its first year. Diablo 3 inferno at launch with the RMaH and poo poo loot was really rough. When I came back AH free the game felt so much better and that was without the expansion. Current Diablo 3 is still one of my favourite mindless games. D4 is indeed much better to launch D3 but needs some tweaking for sure.

paid money to post posted:hey did you see this? suggesting that the portal is at the 'cow horn' on the map instead of caldeum The portal is probably in the door at the front of the cow face. Donnerberg posted:On closer inspection, the above is an unrelated quest. They just forgot to turn the interaction off once it's finished. I’m not convinced the ox puzzle is related to the cow level tbh. Blizzard has only ever used black and white cows for hell bovine.

For starters D4 Launch was better than D3's because you can actually play it.

I mean I've seen a Queue like, once during early access and then once during launch. It's definitely smoother than D3's.

Yall have some rose tinted glasses for the d3 launch. The game was barely playable for a few days and the only people to get past the act 2 wasps on infernal difficulty were playing the bugged sorc build that gave you temporary immortality. Also, calling people “potards” for wanting more mob density is pretty bad! Wanting to kill more and faster is natural; its like wanting to pull the slot machine arm faster. Also, not sure where you get off at using the r word to stereotype the players of another game, but it makes you look sad and bitter.

Our hero in D4 isn't quite the 'nephalem' of D3, but rather awakened to their nephalem 'heritage' courtesy of ingesting Lilith's blood is what I figure.

Cantide posted:fyi, Hydra is procing Frost nova for me It can but it doesn’t do it as often as you’d expect based on the stated lucky hit chance for hydra. That chance is not per individual hydra fireball, it’s the cumulative total of every fireball that the hydras shoot over their duration. One lucky hit thing that feels like a straight up bug is the firebolt enchantment. You automatically burn everything you hit when you use that enchantment but it looks like the burn can’t lucky hit at all. I was using the “burning damage lucky hits have a chance to restore mana” for the longest time on my ice shards sorc but then I actually tested it out and never saw it happen. I tried using a variety of different skills to cause the burn but never once saw the dot get a lucky hit.

I don't recall how much is implied(I keep remembering "90%" but it's been years) but the entire trek through the final dungeon is with one hell of an implication of doom in the background.

Is it possible that decreasing outlying monster density in specific dungeons is just establishing a baseline that can then be more easily and consistently changed later? It seems premature to conclude that the developers have made up their minds that the current experience in dungeons is immutable and mob density will never be increased.

Mundane heroes are more fun anyway. The D1 Heroes were just "Real Tough Guys" and look how that worked out for them in the end. I'm pretty sure from 2 onwards we have been various stages of Nepalem, maybe 3 was PEAK NEPHALEM or something and that's why you had a Monk that could punch a Demon for 4 Trillion damage.

PoE thread: the last dozens of pages are posters encouraging and helping a few new players mixed with a little bit of excitement about a couple new trailers, not a single personal attack D4 thread: meltdowns at the slightest hint of criticism about the game, people hurling insults and name-calling because they can't enjoy stuff on their own without making GBS threads on people who like other games or want the game to be a little different. This thread sucks tbh, I've added more people to my ignore list from this thread alone than I have in 20 years of posting anywhere else on this dead gay forum.

Without having it on every item possible the lucky hit chance for a meteor to drop using blizz hasn't been too bad, generally get a few meteors per pack. Not sure if stacking blizzards is giving me multiple chances to proc or not, hard to tell in game, the blizz and ice spikes (with ice shard enchant) and the amount of freeze is really strong on its own so things melt up to around nm35 so far. Using the chill boots and frostburn gauntlet as well, and with paragon and skills into increased chill its considerable. Took some inspo from the fellow one of y'all posted earlier. Now gonna try to make the lucky hit and freeze work with frozen orb
