I mean I feel for people having connection issues and all but I died to that bitch a thousand times over a number of days and had 3 random disconnects total. Fortunately I use a craftable flask and didn't even go through enough to come close to needing to farm mats.

I don't think it's really fair to compare the endgame of a live service that just released to a game with a decade of dedicated development behind it post release. the lack of endgame in d4 would be much less of an issue if the game didn't have a ton of issues stemming from decision makers that clearly have never played an arpg before, or if they even just simply fixed the bands on loot tiers so that tier 1 didn't last all of 20 minutes and tier 6 wasn't literally 90% of the leveling experience.

I agree about the comparison being kind of unfair, even if it's a natural one since they're actually existing competitors, so I don't expect there to be an equivalent amount of content in this game right out the gate or anything. I do hope they open up a bit sooner rather than later about what their vision of the future of the game is like, but if they don't I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I wonder if or when I'll feel the desire to play the campaign again. It was good, and the boss fights were too epic to only play once.

Put portals to the campaign boss fights out in the wild as random events so we can do them again without all the bullshit in between.

D4 server maintenance is scheduled from 10:00AM through 1:00PM PST, so that likely is when the patch drops. "During this time, players may experience interruptions of service including disconnects", but it sounds like the game won't be entirely unavailable.

I'll concede that what I consider difficult is drastically different than most, but almost all of my deaths even with probably the worst core skill barb has, was to teleporting back 1-3 characters into a wave or getting an evade half a second after I tried using it, and sending me outside the safe zone. this one is skill specific, but lunging strike would occasionally send you out of the zone when lilleth dodges back out of it, because of a 100ms latency and lunging strike sending you to the targets end location and not where boss currently is on cast. the hitboxes on those waves don't match the visuals either. it wasn't straight disconnects being the issue, but the random stuttering that just happens once every 15 or so minutes but isn't noticeable on other, weak content.

They do live patches now so what’ll end up happening is if you’re suddenly on the new patch you’ll stop being able to access content and likely be met with a “new patch available log yo rear end out” message

yeah i don´t get the random stuttering you're talking about, haven't experienced it. my internet is just cable in the rural south, it kinda sucks but my ping is typically 70 which is slightly better. hitboxes felt very consistent but the visual is pretty lovely. but like...if one of your skills is getting you killed because of a thing she unavoidably just DOES during the fight, wouldn't you want to use a different skill?

i havent had it drop but i completely forgot that was a codex aspect and have thrown it on for now until i find a better one thanks!

armor is good, disobedience too, but getting 4x defensive stats on leg and chest will probably be the big jump. + armor %, + % DR, + % DR from close, and either +% DR from far or poisoned if you’re poisoning people. life can be a good fourth roll on helm and a good 5/6th best roll for pants/legs. rogues get decent armor from paragon iirc but i don’t think it’s good enough to get you from one shot to immortal without a focus on DR stuff on those slots

also if you all have any tips on making the waves more consistent let me know. i clip every stupid death to the waves i eat and there are plenty of times where i dodge the same way and avoid a wave as times i eat the wave

im more consistently getting into P2, but there are still 1:5 maybe 1:10 times where i die to waves i absolutely am not in the immediately preceding and succeeding runs

Yeah the waves are just fucky. I'm hoping that fight gets some fixes today. I've had the waves spawn under me and immediately kill me before I could possibly react, I've been killed when it didn't look like they touched me, I've had them spawn in configurations where there was literally nowhere safe to go, you name it. I've also had the camera randomly zoom way mid-fight, making it impossible to see the wave spawns. The fight is hard enough mechanically and has enough rng as it is without dying to bugs regularly.

Also it would be really nice if the camera zoomed out like it does for world bosses so you could actually see the whole circle.

Blizz says patch notes are dropping "mid-morning" (most likely PST, so early afternoon EST).

Also, there will be a new uber boss in Season 1. They didn't specify if the new malignant boss is supposed to be an uber boss or if it is something different.

This is correct, its additive between all the characters you log into. So if you have a character thats discovered all of Scosglen, and a character that's only discovered all of Kejistan, logging into both will discover both zones for every character going forward.

Log into all your characters just so everything gets recorded.

There also isn't a cutoff period for this, but its only active after today's patch.

This is correct. Every character you log in with will have their altar and map progress added to your account altar and map progress (separate for softcore and hardcore). New characters created will inherit your account altar and map progress
