The dungeons are minor variations of each other which is pretty lame. All of them can be reduced to: choose a tileset, choose 2 puzzles, choose two enemy types, maybe include a boss.

I've gotten tier 2 and 3 sigils in WT3. I'm not sure if they were from drops or Whisper caches, but I haven't done many NM dungeons so far. No issue with running higher tiers in WT3, but the highest tiers are WT4 only.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:so to clarify something, do higher tier nightmare sigils drop from the tier 1 dungeons or am I supposed to be on WT4 before I can go any higher than tier one? I've done a few now and haven't seen a higher tier sigil drop and crafting is still locked at the occultist WT3 will go all the way to tier 20. 21+ is on Torment / WT4

Magitek posted:You've got a weird definition of "endgame" or "viable" then. A very generous definition would be a spec that can clear NM tier 50 at level 100 with perfect gear, which would still be a fraction of the difficulty of a tier 100 NM dungeon. I was replying to a poster who was hardstuck with a thorns build against enemies that either do not attack or heal to full with every attack. Seems like a clear example of a spec that is not viable due to trap design decisions. end game viable: a build can do end game content. more than viable: a build can do the hardest content in the game. its fine to have stuff thats way better and way worse. thats more fun.

We'll see how this plays out when the first season launches. My reading of the renown issue is the side quests, side dungeons, and strongholds can be where you can go for leveling up to 50. It's going to be about getting into a party of four, keeping the elixir experience bonus active, and doing whatever it takes to beat the capstone dungeons early and quickly.

boredsatellite posted:don't expect too much from the first season though, i would be pleasantly surprised if it was anything substantial I expect the opposite. The game right now released somewhat barebones and holding some juicy parts back from 1.0 to really sell people on a big season 1 (and seasons in general) seems right up Blizz alley.

you can. theres nothing stopping you. theres nothing in the game that cant handle doing helltides and world bosses and whatever else. the only difference is what tier of nm dungeons you cap out at.

It's fun! And it can be clearable, but harder than another build. If you like weak builds, no one is stopping you from taking stuff that doesn't synergize and pretending the devs did it for you lol I like thinking that theres a guy at blizzard trying to figure out how which skills they should intentionally make weak so players have fun

I haven’t seen a single high level caster Druid. I don’t want to be a poisonous wolf throwing tornadoes, or a giant bear causing the entire ground to shift. I want to be a fat guy who stands completely still, holds his hammer in the air and causes 75 billion lightning bolts on the screen. It hasn’t always been the most efficient way to play, but it sure is engaging and fun for me. I’m looking over all the paragon boards and deciding which aspects I need and which ones I want, trying to find a suitable balance of DPS, survivability and resource gen.

got to 93 so far. can comfortably carry a pal through T60 NM keys. what is the scaling for more players, is it 100% more health per player in the group? i don’t think i could really do enough damage for some affix types if that’s the case. can’t wait to hit 100 so i don’t have to scrimp around with paragon points to unlock everything i want

What are you using for your skill spread? This is pretty much what I'm doing and I keep getting perfect drops if I wanted to be a poison werewolf and I don't wanna do that. It's definitely not the smoothest process. There have been periods where I was humming along fine, but I'm trying to get a high lucky hit and a high crit rate both, and I've had to pass up a ton of good gloves because of that, just for example.

I hope companions aren't too many seasons away. I like having a buddy I can drag along with me. Bonus points if they let us have some degree of control over how they look, even if it's just armor pieces.

Confirmed that mousing over a shrine in the corner minimap will tell you whether it's a shrine that spawns enemies - this can save a nice bit of time if you're just trying to blast through a dungeon and the objective is to kill all enemies. The shrine name won't show if it's corrupted. Another useful trick for leveling alts: if you find an item with an aspect that has flat numbers, instead of a % bonus, you can upgrade the item first, THEN extract. The aspect roll will be upgraded when you upgrade the item. You can get ~4k barriers on a very low level character, making you unkillable. I haven't looked through but I bet this makes some +damage aspects insane for self-PLing

Penetrating shot absolutely mulches bosses with poison imbuement. Nothing like making the boss vulnerable and tossing a crit penetrating shot at him and seeing the entire healthbar go deep red. Mobs that gain a barrier are absolute rear end though as the poison gets removed by the barrier.

Fenarisk posted:If this is how season 1 goes I see a lot of people dropping off and not looking back, especially if you have to waste time regrinding renown every season. They hopefully knock it out of the park because I don't know that the modern player base is going to be on board. What made seasons in D3 fun and work was that a little after getting to max level you'd be given a full free set - was the main reason to even do seasons - "oh, this season monks free set is Inna's and Mystic Ally just got some buffs, gonna roll a monk and try it out". And then you'd be doing endgame within an afternoon. Yea unless the season journey just shortcuts some of the stuff to get a character going quicker, I don't see myself caring to engage with that.

You can also tell if a health shrine is corrupted because it will appear on the minimap as an actual shrine icon instead of the unique health shrine icon.

Proof that I remain as stupid as ever, it took me this long to realize I can drop a pin on the map and the game will plot a course visible on the minimap for me so I don't have to keep opening the map to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. Sure would've been handy if I could've been marginally less stupid like 100 altars ago.

Only thing making it worth it was pushing but when your power curve is pretty much determined in advance it's kinda lame. They could give a series of high rolled aspects as reward though and that would be cool. Better yet give players a choice at each tier between a few and now we are cooking with gas.

Change level requirements for items from the dumbass system they have now to 50 for sacred 60 for ancestral, have a toggle that you can switch on and off to find uniques for other classes, make the ladder six months or a year. There's a game for u... And zoom out the screen
