Kaddish posted:Above was mentioned avoiding taking additive damage bonuses on the paragon tree - what's an example additive damage bonus? Are those '% damage to' since its the same bucket? What about straight '5% damage'? I'm guessing all damage on the paragon tree is additive apart from the [x] unique nodes and the damage to vulnerable dmg

Those of you on Steam Decks, did you install the higher texture pack? I've seen people say that even if you don't plan to use it, it gives a performance boost just having it installed. Obviously space is at a premium on the deck and would rather not use up that space if I can help it.

I encountered a game-breaking bug last night. While on the Act V quest "Wrack and Ruin," I interacted with the Engraved Stone Door while mounted. Doing so locked me into being mounted, and I couldn't do anything - interact with other objects, change skills, open the map, everything was blank or non-interactive. I closed the game and re-opened it, and it is stuck on the loading screen post-character select. I've tried opening it 3 or 4 times now with no success. Any thoughts? I posted it in the bug report forums, but it seems like others have encountered it too with no responses.

maybe a dumb question but when items say that something like "Poison damage +XYZ" does it just mean it increases the amount of poison damage from skills that already do it, or that it actively can grant Poison damage to physical attacks/skills? Technically it meant the latter in Diablo 2 but not sure if it's the same in D4. I have some great poison passives for Druid + a weapon that has Poison damage modifiers on it, was curious if that meant they synergized naturally for any attacks I'm doing.

It boosts existing damage so you'll need wolf/vine creeper skills that have poison naturally.

Vic posted:No, the higher res texture pack It definitely has a HUGE positive effect on some setups, due to some kind of bug surrounding texture streaming. I can tell you installing it was night and day on release despite running high textures Without ultra textures installed: seconds-long hitches when entering menus, travelling in the world, etc With: near-perfect performance I imagine you don't need it with the steam deck because its a fixed setup so it would be a known widespread issue if you did

Yeah it runs great so far without the texture pack installed. Still tweaking the graphics a bit, but I've got most stuff on high and have a pretty solid 60fps average. Just need to get used to the idea of playing Diablo on a controller

NIghtmare dungeons are weird. I was putting them off because I thought each one would be like doing the capstone dungeon. The mobs are weaker than the helltide stuff. Holy hell all the good poo poo drops in there, tho. I believe after my first or second one I was able to craft all the higher tiers, and I tried a level 8 and it was still pretty easy for my level 54 barb which is a sketchy rear end WW build. But still fun as poo poo to play.

If you guys haven't hunted the rare unique mobs, they drop some cool transmogs. I've got daggers that drip poison and maces that are on fire now. https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/all-rare-monster-locations-and-item-drops-in-diablo-4/

My system should be more than capable of handling the ultra textures but it can't, and people like you get this weird other effect.

Mr. Pickles posted:What is the deal with the fortify mechanic like wtf. Its just dumb...who makes something like that. Its a bad mechanic that will hopefully get reworked. It basically does nothing defensively unless your character is already very tanky. If you are a squishy build looking for some extra toughness, fortify is a huge trap imo.

I think fortify has a place in overpower builds but such builds are sparse because of how awkward that is to build around.

This loving horse gets me so unreasonably upset. Like if I was a dev and this loving horse got stuck on literally everything, I would move that poo poo to the top of the list of things to fix. I don't care if minions don't do any damage, this horse is loving useless when half the game is riding it around. gently caress. Having to get on and off to go up and down ladders everywhere is loving dumb as poo poo, too. My spirit horse should be able to run up goddamn walls while we're at it. If they ever have a call in number for a live fireside chat, I'll be the crazy guy screaming at them about the world ending over a loving horse. It's me, the CSPAN Diablo 4 caller.

After beating the game and some of the endgame is there anything to do until season 1 starts? I don’t want to burn myself out leveling if it doesn’t really matter until season 1.

Endgame is all leveling. All new mechanics are introduced in wt3. At 100 you can fight a bonus boss. Don't burn out. Save it for s1 which is what I am doing.

after having a sook i finally got a t3 sigil to drop and by then i had an insane power spike from some random synergistic uniques so now I'm trying to figure how high above my level I can go without getting melted but there's not a huge range of defensive stuff on the first necro paragon board so I'm mostly just jamming barrier aspects onto spare equipment. Game owns. I think if I get to 60 so I can craft the last two tiers of gems I might be good to just start running some other classes for now but I also said that about hitting 50 so who knows

I’ve never once had an issue with the horse but you hear people complaining (or maybe it’s just the same guy and he’s really mad) about the “pebble” every few pages. Is it just a lot better on controller or something?

There have been many complaints about the horse by many people. My particular persistent issue is that it stutters in place for several seconds every time I summon it and try to move. Could just be mental illness/mad though.

Have made one of each class and have been trying stuff out. Ended up making a berserk/thorns/fortify non-meta build with frenzy and double swing that is fun as poo poo.

Getting gear upgrades post 780 item power or so is horrible. 99.9% of all items are poo poo but you gotta keep checking every legendary and yellow just in case they rolled either a higher item power or higher modifiers. When you do find a good item you might still have to swap one of the modifiers which means that you need a poo poo ton of gold so for the most part i find an item that might be useful (1 in 1000 or so) then i farm gold until the enchanting cost goes up to the tens of millions, scrap it and try again.

Finding max roll BiS gear is a chore in any arpg I've ever played. Don't know about POE, bounced of that one pretty quick. I don't see that D4 is particularly egregious there. Last Epoch was pretty good/flexible though

Suddenly my game went from 80 and dropping in town with hangs and freezes for several seconds to smooth.

Controlling the horse with a mouse is very annoying because if you hover over certain UI elements while holding the force move button it just fully stops. This is really only an issue when running down but man it's annoying.Philthy posted:NIghtmare dungeons are weird.

But still fun as poo poo to play. NM dungeons don't scale like everything else in the game so if you're doing early nm dungeons it's going to be pretty easy if you're decently leveled and geared. They do get very difficult and they start to pile on annoying modifiers the higher up you go though. explosivo fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Jun 23, 2023 |
