I get it tho I mean I've been no lifing this and I'm only level 81.5, haven't even tried all the builds I want to (and the patch around the corner) so I'm not sure what the allure of seasonal is tbh

WarEternal posted:The amount of confusion over seasons for 'average' gamers right now is very, very nonsensical and funny. It's because there is a large amount of people coming from other genre's where seasons are progression based, and do not realize that ARPG seasons are fresh start based. Much of the blame is on Blizzard though to be honest. They've been very tight lipped on a lot of Diablo 4's development. Most people didn't even realize D4 was much like Lost Ark going into the first beta weekend. The dev team commenting last Friday about how much of the player base was still in the campaign, and thinking those same people are going to want to go through renown over and over, I think are severely out of touch. It's one thing to blast a campaign, and start interacting with end-game systems, it's another to get bogged down collecting collectables and doing side quests for player power.

Zotix posted:I know you're memeing, but many people will play a bad or mediocre game far longer with a group of friends than they would solo, just because of the social aspect. Most Goons aren't social people so I get that it's a hard concept for some to understand. I was actually being serious. There isn't enough at the end game. The social aspects are weak even when trying to play with my irl friends. Season 1 needed to launch at release instead of being two months later. I'm still playing because I like to complete games once I start them. And what the gently caress else am I going to do until the next Hunt: Showdown event starts?

The PVP zones I guess are split between WT3 and WT4 right? But there's nothing stopping a level 100 guy from going down to WT3 and cleaning up in the PVP zone there? I guess rogue is the best PVP class? I did some decent work in there with my barb using leap and stomp but I'm thinking putting a party together to get one of those sweaty mounts. I don't want to grind for those tears fair and square.

I think D4 does have some issues and it's weird to pretend it's a perfect 10/10 goty when it isn't. But I think most of these issues are fixable and I'm personally just waiting for s1 to start now instead of burning myself out grinding levels on a character that won't matter once that starts anyway.

There's not really a "best" class for pvp since it's just rocket tag and you'll insta-kill anyone you catch in the zone that isn't prepared. Think of an approach you want to take and a class that has some synergy with it. If you want to stack a billion thorns and tank stats, grab Barb or Druid. If you want to shoot dudes at range and use your favorite CDs to do it, play Rogue/Sorc/Necro normally and pretend the players are elites. Rogue would have a short term stealth and huge mobility, Sorc/Necro have literal invulns, etc. Clocks posted:I think D4 does have some issues and it's weird to pretend it's a perfect 10/10 goty when it isn't. Nobody claims it is 10/10. It's a 7-8/10 (goes lower if you hate the campaign, etc) but also a monstrous 8-9/10 compared to the average arpg release which is done by a small indie studio on 1/100th of the budget and 1/20th the polish.

I got this one too but it was so jampacked it was impossible to get the shrine. I figured out though if you mount and dismount you can push your way through the crowd...

Yeah I guess, in my limited experience even if you get the drop on someone it can go either way because how unprepared are you really gonna be in the pvp zone? But yeah if they just blew all their cooldowns fighting someone else then it's an ez own. Mata fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jun 21, 2023 |

There’s nothing wrong with playing a lot of a game and having your opinion of it change over time, or with changes brought by a patch or something else. That being said, please take a long break from both the game and posting.

Socket if you think about it, but the difference is marginal (in my minimal experience). Dont worry about saving gems until wt3 and even then it’s debatable

Noam Chomsky posted:Should I socket items as I’m leveling or just save the gems? You don't lose gems by socketing them so why wait? You'll only lose them if you vendor something with gems in it; salvaging will auto-unsocket and you can just manually unsocket at the jeweler.

Lister posted:Zotix is right. Do you guys realize how many people put hundreds of hours into poo poo like New World despite it being garbage and having a weak endgame? It took months for those people to eventually quit and move on. NW's combat was really cool and felt like it had a lot of potential its a shame it was 5 mobs and 3 quests for the entirety of the game. That game could have used another year or three to be complete. big cummers ONLY posted:Is there anything else that can drop while leveling that I should throw in my stash?

Grab your legendaries/oranges and throw them into your stash if they have an affix at the bottom that seems useful, or if it doesn't seem useful, you'll need a ton of them later on and it's not bad to hoard them until you know what you're supposed to do with them.

You can extract abilities from legendary gear in the form of aspects. It's not very cost intensive, so if you have a legendary you really like, you can keep it going by imprinting it on a higher level item. You're not gonna be using the aspects you get while leveling on endgame stuff, so feel free to play around with them, stick 'em on fun gear and so on.

Eh. That might be true for ancestral aspects, but you really shouldn't hoard mundane aspects. It's more effective to use matching classes and it's better to cultivate a mentality of experimentation.

I can see it if there's big xp boosts and a new world tier or what have you to ease this 70+ grind I guess. I think I'll have to just wait and see what it's all about. Wish I didn't buy the ultimate edition or w.e without seeing what it was first lol. Anyone have any luck making a pure meteor build? I'm thinking lucky hit, meteorites for meteor and inferno, boots with three evade charges and use teleport and meteor enchants, plus the stuff you always need as sorc anyway. My biggest concern is vulnerable application though, maybe three points in ice shards could be an answer but it's not that elegant.

Mata posted:The PVP zones I guess are split between WT3 and WT4 right? But there's nothing stopping a level 100 guy from going down to WT3 and cleaning up in the PVP zone there? There's some debuff that gets put on you if you enter lower tiers as a high level. I don't know what the conditions are exactly, but it got put on me as a bug in WT4 and it was a huge nerf as I tried fighting mobs there. As for best pvp class? In my experience, barb seems to be doing the best. They can stack thorns better than any other class which might be the best build for pvp. One druid I encountered had a lightning storm that just melted everybody. I do really well personally as a rogue with rapid fire, cold imbue, and shadow clone. No matter what, you need to spec somewhat for it and have key affixes like the one that gives you barrier when you damage an elite. (players are considered elites for all abilities and modifiers)

Zotix posted:It is a shame that players must restrict what they hold on to in an ARPG in 2023 because the development team has made some awful QoL decisions. This criticism is valid, but I think it points more to an issue with the hoarding mentality that harvesting legendaries encourages. It’s hard for me to imagine them putting the toothpaste back in the tube on this one so I think the best choice is to just expand the codex with every aspect you’ve seen, and let players keep spares there. For me the most pain when I was hoarding aspects was it was really hard to even identify what I already had. Having an in game reference for all aspects available, as well as a repository for the ones you’ve collected would be a big qol improvement.

On aspects: do they have a set item power? Like if I find an aspect that rolled near max at level 40 or so and extract it, will it stay at its level 40 numbers or will it match the level of the item it's eventually imprinted on?

Don't extract, just stick the legendary in your stash - it takes up a slot either way but you save the extract cost if you end up finding a better roll before you use it.

Ones you rip off gear are locked at that level. Ones in the codex will always be a bottom roll but will scale to some approximation of your player level. Certain stuff is just a yes/no toggle or a single fixed percentage for the entire scale of the item so certain perfect rolls at low levels will be worth it to extract, but others might roll a 10-20% range at low levels and then scale to 15-25% rolls higher up.

If you find an aspect it will extract at that power. I.e. 10-40 and you find a 37, you'll extract a 37. If you pull it from the book on a 10-40 you'll always get the 10. Finding items has greater value, the codex guarantees you have access to it if your build wants it to function.
