This game feels way too grindy now, I don’t know what they did, but it feels slow and grindy.

I haven't minded the nerf to the mystery box price until I just got one leggo out of one. I'm also up to my 3rd pair of death trap pants that don't even get used in the death trap build :negative"

Cormand is pretty dumb. First for creating all the malignant in the first place and second for trying to hide that he did it for...? When he finally admits it, your character just gets moderately confused about why he lied and says, "Welp, doesn't matter how they got here. Let's go kill 'em."

Kaddish posted:Yeah the necro unique gloves that generate the kamikaze skellies from corpses is fun but the damage they do isn't worth the trade-off from good gloves. I'm trying to do an auto bomber Necro build with no core skills at the moment and I am curious to see if you can do enough DPS with 10/5 in corpse explosion and both the corpse explosion uniques. Although if I don't use core skills at all fists of fate may be better.

I’m lv60 and nowhere near the final renown tier on any zone. But I can do NMD at lv 70 so I should be able to capstone soon, then do renown in wt4 since they should be 70+, right? I hope so. Hate the renown grind, it should go away after doing it once.

The Grumbles posted:Dota started the battle pass to huge success in 2013, and then Fortnite to even huger, unimaginably huger success in 2018 (with other, smaller, still successful enough attempts in between) so if the game started production around then it would have been squarely in 'we have to make the money they're making the way they're making it territory'. The funny thing is Valve recently said they're done with battle passes as they seem to be burnt out on it.

Yeah, they even buffed it this patch. If it’s the only thing you’re focusing on I can understand how it would get to be a slog but it also just comes naturally by playing the game in other ways.

Whispers, dungeons I wanted aspects from, dungeons for whispers, plus hell tides for the last 10. 1-50, especially 1-40 went so drat fast I can’t imagine having done enough quests etc to max renown. I only even have the obols tier in fractured peaks. I should mention I leveled in wt2.

Vic posted:That's the one that introduced the free to play model with Warzone - the overwhelmingly popular game mode of today. The popularity is waning but thats neither here nor there. I played more hours in core multiplayer which is not free to play was my only point. Anyhow, i'm still having a lot of fun with the rogue except I haven't been able to play a lot so I'm still not even level 30 yet.

The key is doubling up on dungeon runs with quests at the same time. Can’t imagine doing anything else 1-50 at this point, it’s so easy and fast and means you have 20 extra paragon points asap. Doing whispers etc just pales in comparison

You don’t have to follow a guide. Just click on the people with ! on them and then go where it tells you to go. Sometimes it’s a dungeon and then you get 70 renown.

I have gone from thinking my druid was boring as gently caress to thinking it is the most fun class I've tried. My necro was also about as good as this at 50+ but my druid is just more fun, and I think quite a bit faster at clearing dungeons. It's just so satisfying to run around and smash poo poo as a bear. It's also pretty nice to know that once I get more gear I have a lot of viable builds to try out as well instead of just a few. Once you get the right aspects and get past the resource generation issues druid gets really really good

I think the implied comment was that often it's not a dungeon and you spend 30 minutes following some idiot through the swamp before being told to go back and talk to him at his mud hut. Then you get the followup for finding three demon dicks. Given how quick 1-50 goes it really doesn't matter what you do anyway. Go knock out some renown, grind temple of rot, do the campaign... none of it matters and you'll end up in the same spot regardless.

Sorry if this was already answered but I've read quite a bit and didn't see it. I'm around battlepass tier 51 or so. If I roll a new level 1 seasonal character, will it pick up from there? Is the progression around the same rate? I know I need to stick to one character to unlock the seasonal journey toys, but for just the battlepass tiers, is multiple characters a viable climbing strategy?

It's funny, they said "sorry guys we'll never release a patch like this one again" in the campfire chat but the patch effects weren't reverted at all. Helltides are still slow as gently caress and leveling is slow as gently caress. But maybe it's for the best, because the NM dungeons nerf only makes it so there's now really nothing to do once you've maxed out your character. The fact that the season's 2 main mechanics aggravate some of the core issues people have with the game (inventory slots for hearts and resource stealing mobs at a time when resource gen feels like poo poo) is a magnificent cherry on top.

Pick one up and check the map? Abandon if not a dungeon? There's no way in hell this was as fast as I was leveling. It's not like I was ignoring quests either, if doodads dropped I grabbed them, and I remembered a few that were tied to dungeons. Granted, you're right that I need to do this anyway so it's probably more efficient to get it out of the way early. That's what I was complaining about. It doesn't feel natural in an adventure mode to have to follow the quests anyway. They're not as fun and doing the grind once should make it done for future characters. I wanna choose how I level not do the same quests every time.
