Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

I'm not mad about cc because it's pretty obviously telegraphed for the most part and you gotta have some mechanics requiring you pay attention. Still salty about the lag and disconnects but I'm not gonna play HC so nbd

I rip'd my HC druid the other day to a death explosion on one of the rare mobs at level 49 and swore I was done with hardcore until seasons.

Then today I rolled up another Necro in hardcore mode and I'm back to 40 again.

My real Necro is at 86 now and I can't decide if I'm going to push to 100 before s1 or just wait. I'm probably playing Necro again so I may just hold off

It’s hard to stress just how much Diablo games after your first run through the campaign are the seasons. Like, that’s the real meat of the game. You may find it tricky to wring fun out of the game if you’re not wanting to engage with seasons.

I think it’s muddled in this one because nowadays we associate seasons with battle passes, and the battle pass here is obviously intertwined with the seasonal stuff. So it gets confusing to talk about. You can probably ignore the battle pass.

my post was mostly addressing people who are extremely casual for arpg standards. those who might have 10-30 hours per season to play, or even less. their progress with the map and statues are all going to be saved, for when they decide whether they got their $70 worth or would like to dabble into seasons to try the seasonal quests. you can absolutely fly through the leveling process, but if you're just trying to do everything and get the full story like you would in, say, the witcher, there's at least 60 hours of content to be had for the casual gamer.

Unrelated but are people going to play a class you haven’t played before for the season or do one you have already played and liked

the latter. barb was extremely fun and actually has a wide variety of builds u can play. I want to try druid, but the tales I heard about the uniques struggle is pretty off putting. saving druid as an alt in a season

I couldn’t imagine playing the same class I just poured however many hours into, again. That would be incredibly boring. I was a Sorc and loved it but I’ll be going rogue in season 1.

The last Dark Souls 3 dlc had a boss kind of like this and it whipped rear end. Midway through the fight he would summon another player and some adds to fight you.

Those are the hardcore PvP achievements. They're kind of stupid. I would love to see anyone get those legit and not just asking a friend to suicide 10 alts into the Fields of Hatred for them.

I know pure minion necros are supposed to be slow going, but I love my necro. 74 and WT4 having very little trouble. But compared to the alt I've been leveling, a poison focused werewolf, and at 48, I've died probably ten times more than my necro ever has, and it takes forever to kill stuff, especially when skeletons are the enemies. I just tried the wt2 capstone at level 48 and couldn't take the final boss much past 50%. Gear is current and legendary and upgraded, it looks like there's some good paragon boards for a poison wolf, but my big skill is unleashing the creeper, especially if I get lucky and cool down resets. Shred is poo poo, and I've maxed that skill out. Lacerate does laughable amounts of damage, especially if there are too many enemies around that make it so the strikes won't concentrate on a large target. Basically, poison damage needs to be increased, mobs aren't going to live six seconds, so who cares if I can fill their entire health bar with DoT damage.

Get aspect of the blurred beast and your poison woes are over. Just requires a bit of micro of running out to do each individual dash in the shred combo when you're fighting a boss.

OK the respec chat got me thinking, who are you even paying to respec? Where is that gold going? I realize that the game isn't that realistic but they aren't even pretending with that one

Also D2 offered multiple penalty free respecs, they should give you a respec after beating each of the capstone dungeons. :colbert: (I don't actually care about respecs)

It's a gold sink. Which I just don't get because people having too much gold in this game doesn't do anything. There's no social economy to manipulate via auction house.

It all goes to Bobby, who then RMT's it to players for additional revenue.

Being gold limited also prevents people from just slamming the reroll button on their items until they get perfect rolls. With an increasing cost, and limited gold acquisition, players are more likely to settle for "good enough" on their rerolls which leaves an opportunity to still find upgrades from monsters.
