My rogue at level 60 beat the poo poo out of the second capstone dungeon and is now traipsing around torment and still slaughtering. It’s a lot of fun to play an alt because they did a good job of making the characters feel mechanically distinct.

Firewall Sorc is getting a little stale but it looks like they absolutely do NOT want you to have multiple builds, so switching it up is really out of the question

I really recommend rolling an alt, it’s a good refresher and if you got all the renown rewards and altar bonuses you will loving plow through WT2.

PoE is preparing for Exilecon and LE for 1.0. There's nothing fresh and new to play right now, so of course ARPG nerds are gonna spend a bunch of hours in D4, even if they don't think the game is all that hot. And someone who spends 200+h in the first three weeks is hoping for game that can fill thousands of hours and from that perspective the criticism and rating makes perfect sense. Doesn't mean the game isn't fun

playing something you think sucks for 10 hours a day, 20 days straight, instead of stopping and doing something else is deranged behavior

I feel like a better analogy would be it's like being an addict and getting some heroin but it's like really lovely and stepped on and you're like this poo poo loving sucks but I'm still going to shoot up the entire batch and then go back and buy more and shoot that up too and do it with a smile on my face, because no other drug hits like heroin, even if its bad heroin.

as much as it frustrated me, Stux is right. you should learn to hand-knead ciabatta, it takes a long time but it's very satisfying and you won't sit at your computer doing something you hate.

anyway, I haven't missed a "sell all x" option like you have with salvaging, right? it's annoying because I tend to sell everything bellow rare and marking stuff as junk feels like an unnecessary step. I feel like I would've seen such an option by now.

The generous interpretation is that they played the game for a while having fun, and then kept playing long after they stopped having fun when they should have just quit instead. And the lesson they should take is probably not 'there will be more content later so I can plug away then,' but 'I have an unhealthy addictive relationship with this game and should probably play something different.'

No and it even if it did, it wouldn't make a difference between sacred or ancestral rare, so that's just slavjank level.

I keep thinking I'm going to try a different build for my frost Sorc and then I contemplate the time and effort that would take to do right and just go meh, frost is fine I guess. I still throw random gear for other specs in my stash just in case.

Yep, that's the point of expertise. Try to level a variety of weapons, and use expertise that compliments the weapons you're using.

The technique slot applies to all weapons, in addition to the expertise the weapon already applies. So if all your skills just use one weapon, setting that weapon as your technique is redundant.

Is it? 200h of work in 3 weeks is pretty standard for a huge chunk of Americans, but nobody bats an eye. Binging a game really hard for a week and then dropping playing down significantly over the next few weeks is deranged. Lol.

Lol what the gently caress are you even on about. Keep posting through it. I’m almost level 80. Game continues to be fun and killing demons with the bros for things that make number go up is a good time. I’ve got enough gear and glyph levels to do either WW or HOTA for my Barb. Shits fun if you don’t play the game an average of 10 hours a day. I’ve got around 4 days played though so I guess I don’t know poo poo.

When a girl buys a vibrator, its seen as a bit of naughty fun

BUT when a guy orders a 240 Volt FuckMaster Pro 5000 blowup latex doll with 6 speed pulsating vagina, elasticized anus with non-drip semen collection tray, together with optional built in realistic orgasm scream surround sound system, hes called a pervert?

Its worse. It’s like if all the existing drugs were around and available, but a new one comes out. Let’s call this new drug (for simplicity’s sake) Diablo. Dude hears about Diablo and goes and gets $70 worth. Then, after a 3 week bender (only boofin’ the D 12ish hours a day) he decides to post on a drug forum about how Diablo just isn’t fun after you’ve done it continuously for 3 weeks.

But also, I totally get it. I’ve spent tons of time on games only to eventually realize there’s no satisfying endgame variety. Hell, i tried to for D3 but the servers probably werent even up for 200 hours those first three weeks, lol.

It’s fun as hell to run through with a friend or two man. Me and a buddy bridged the gap between beta and release with D2R. Ended up with a level 70 something Barb and cleared hell Baal.

Rogue buddies: which glyphs do you use? I've been using the ones that increase the bonus of rare and magic nodes since there's usually a glyph slot within reach of those rares. Likewise with magic nodes.

Is item quality determined solely by where it drops or does character level have an impact? E.g. if a level 10 gets carried through a WT4 dungeon, can they get item power 800 drops with a required level of 10?
