There are challenges & titles for beating campaign sections on Hardcore, by the way. Be advised that the Lillith campaign fight has an instant-death mechanic if you're on an area of the floor that disappears. Even if you're level 100 playing on WT1 against a Level 50 Lilith, it will RIP you

Verviticus posted:what experience did you expect other than this. this is diablo i also go for the 5 second ‘immune’ bubble aspect so if i’m about to do something real dumb i wait for it to be of cooldown and then i have 500-900 armor from potion 200-500 armor from incense, anti death elixir, 4 dodges, 2 unstoppables, and hotkey bound scroll of escape. i think getting to 100 on my hc rogue might be what i do first once i can bank the statutes/exploration on the 18th

Stubear St. Pierre posted:The fact that the camera zooms out when you get on a mount makes it feel like it slows you down. Also having a limited number of dashes kind of feels stupid with how slow their base speed is. again console exclusive but if you don’t pay for xbox gold/game pass or the PS equivalent, you can still play the game and get to do so solo. not exactly the same since you still need to connect to servers but it would be solo e: already covered, my b harrygomm fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jul 12, 2023 |

Stubear St. Pierre posted:Is there any hope that they might kill the always-online part of this game? I'm really sick of the modern trend of not allowing people to pause video games for basically no benefit whatsoever. They don't even have to kill always online for it but I'd assume that's why they leave out such a simple loving feature. I don't know why everybody is glossing over the actual important part of your question to tell you ways you can avoid other players. D3 lets you pause the game when playing solo and there's no excuse for D4 not retaining that functionality. GoGoGadgetChris posted:There are challenges & titles for beating campaign sections on Hardcore, by the way. Well clearly the answer here is that you should be paying attention, this isn't flawed design at all but player error.

I thought I heard that enemies only give bonus XP up to +3 character level (plus a modifier for WT1/2/3/4). Does standing in the doorway of a NM40 Dungeon get you to Level 50 any faster than standing in the doorway of a NM30 dungeon?

A level 90 enemy gives a lot more XP per kill than a level 30 one.

Time posted:Yes So what was the source of the "No XP benefit for killing enemies more than +3 levels above player level" rumor?? Was that BS? I definitely thought that (within the same world tier) you got the same amount of XP from killing a +3 level enemy as killing a +4, +10, +25 etc! EDIT - as always, maxroll has a great explanation. There is an additional XP bonus of up to 25% if enemies are up to 3 levels higher than you. But the actual base amount of XP per kill is based on how much HP the enemy has, and an enemy's HP goes up every level. Neat!

I have not spoiled myself on items. I run a pure ice sorc and my eyes popped out of my head when I got the unique Iceheart Brais (enemies that die while frozen unleash a Frost Nova) I already had the ice shard aspects that cause richochets and piercing. The whole screen constantly blows up with satisfying crunchy explosions.

ignoring the click bait-yness, this guy shows a 4.5 hour solo 1-50 using that bear dungeon mentioned earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaAfxOJgp3E also some of the guide writer type people are theorizing that resetting strongholds might be the most efficient way to level solo too, since they scale and can be reset quickly

Was that BS? i don’t have any hard evidence one way or the other but as i understand +3 to your level guarantees the extra 25% bonus XP. higher level mobs give more XP, but for most builds, it’s best to stick to exactly +3 because the extra XP gain of doing a NM60 instead of NM45 or whatever is more than offset by the extra time it would take to clear if you’re able to oneshot packs at that difficulty though, you should keep going higher and higher level for more XP until your clear rate diminishes and then dial back one. obviously character XP isn’t the end all, so sometimes it’s worth doing higher levels to get better gear/glyph XP too

do all the stronghold objectives except the last one. walk out of range of the sub zone the stronghold is in, walk back in they were specifically talking about kor dragon or however it’s spelled. idk if that’s the most efficient or just an example if you’ve already completed them 100% i don’t know if a way to reset it. they were talking in the context of new characters/seasons

Here's some nitty gritty if anyone cares or is curious - Every enemy has a unique, flat XP value, and it's higher for large/high HP enemies and lower for small/low HP enemies. This flat XP base goes up linearly every level. It does NOT go up if enemies gain more HP for some reason, such as Group Play or a NM Modifier of +30% max HP - Elites give 2x to 7.7x bonus XP compared to their base monster, and their Minions give a 1.2x to 4.6x bonus compared to their base monster - You get a bonus of +15%, or +20%, or +25% if enemies are +1, or +2, or +3 your level - Penalty of -10% per level for each level below you (you get zero XP for enemies that are 10+ levels below you) - WT2, WT3, and WT4 add a +20%, or +100%, or +200% XP modifier - You can get +5% from drinking an elixir, +5% for being near another player, and +5% if you are near another player that is also in your party - All bonuses stack additively, so the bonuses are more valuable at lower levels and less valuable at higher levels TL:DR If your top priority is fast XP, kill enemies at +3

i was talking with someone about the fury against fate sidequest earlier and got console users can’t do the 1 fps in background trick. first, was apparently not fixed in the latest patch that fixed a bunch of sidequest stuff. someone found a way to sort of emulate that for consoles. some dude on reddit posted:CONSOLE USERS WHO THINK THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING: I found a solution on Reddit, a thread I can no longer find, with 100% fix rate for both pc and console, literally did it an hour ago on ps5. Just abandon Q, log off, set a load of stuff downloading/ streaming on the console and other devices, log back in , pick up the quest and go. The high ping fixes it for some unholy reason. Enjoy! some other people said doing stuff like attaching your console to a hotspot and only allowing a 3G connection also can emulate it. haven’t personally tried it, too much work for one sidequest, but figured i’d throw it out there
