So how do you whisper someone... trying to join a Goon Clan.

tried /whisper, /w, /msg

IDK what's up.

/w should work but just join discord and ask there it'll be easier

Found a 2 second barber in WT3 at level 56. I'm soon going to be making the jump to WT4 but given their rarity I don't want to 'burn it' even though I know it would be so fun to use. Don't know how to feel about that, feels like some kind of rot is setting in.

I like Diablo 4, it's pretty fun. I really appreciate my druid now after a pretty boring initial leveling experience and it's really fun to pulverize dungeons with him. I'll probably play until level 70 or so, but I don't think I'll do much more than that. Running NM dungeons gets dull after a while and apparently Blizzard expects us to roll new characters every season (???) so I might just have to level a new druid for another season in the future (???) so I might as well let it rest at 70 until a more fun, complex season releases than this current one.

Make a season where we can turn any found aspect into a codex entry, then make that feature permanent. Also let us upgrade codex aspect rolls by shoving in duplicates.

having only played like 1 or 2 D3 seasons, i have little personal experience. but i’ve seen other people talking about liking d3 having shorter seasons in general, a couple or a few weeks of content

assuming future seasons of d4 add more pizzazz/more in depth systems, is that still the desirable outcome with the framework in place? it doesn’t feel like it lines up with design currently (longer time to level than d3, redoing renown) but maybe with the new undecided end game activity (probably rifts remixed) will make that more viable? idk exactly where i’m going with this, just spitballing

i like the cc in this game a lot. its just punishing enough when its a threat, and when its not its kinda funny. the getting frozen effect is perfect

I'd settle for storing extracted aspects in Collections instead of the inventory/stash

i’m at the point where i’m only saving one aspect if it is drop only. i don’t really like having to memorize which those are for each setup and also any setups that i want to play later

at this point i’m fine with just using codex aspects for everything. the one that only gives 2.5 seconds of DR per basic attack instead of 6.0 seconds from the max droppable variety is the only one i really like to keep an eye out for

You're looking out for the one aspect that...doesn't get stronger when it drops...

worded it poorly. the codex version gives abuff that lasts 2.5 seconds. the drop version can make that buff last 6 seconds. that way you only need to use a basic every 6 seconds instead of 2.5

I'd really like to see them reconsider the hard split between aspects from items and codex aspects. Especially now that we're into seasons, it's dumb to ration aspects this way and just leads to people not using fun stuff until they have extras (triples are best).

Just rip off the division 2 system. When you rip an aspect off an item, it goes into the codex. If you find a higher roll of the same aspect, you can rip that and now that's your codex roll. It would make experimenting as the season goes on a lot more fun.

Calibration library in Division 2 genuinely kicks rear end.

You can insta bin any of the aspects or hearts that drop in WT1/2/3 that have a damage/sheld/etc number instead of a percentage since that number goes higher on the WT4 ones so a perfectly rolled WT1 aspect is useless.

Right now (and for a long time) the endgame seasonal content is the GR push. All the other stuff you do feeds into this. You level to max quickly and start down the better gear->higher push grind. The challenge dungeon packs and free set align with this acceleration from start to greater rifts.

Conversely, the current D4 seasonal endgame content is "reach level 100". If you could level to max in a couple of hours like D3 that'd be a really short season.

This might be already well-known but just in case:

There's the one "they're feeding on my soul" event that if you kill the remaining enemies at the end of the timer before the ghost finishes their Sicko "Yes... Ha ha, yes!" line you'll complete the event without them turning into the elite you should otherwise have to fight.

Normally not a problem, you get a resplendent chest and move on with life.

Except one of the dungeons, which I forget the name but is on this season's NM rotation, has this event in the portion of the dungeon that has you slay all enemies.

And guess which untransformed, unkillable ghost counts as one of those enemies, hard-locking dungeon progression?

Reading this thread and I feel a little guilty that the literal first pack of my first nightmare dungeon dropped a tier 3 sigil at level 50

Yeah I'm on my 3rd character overall and I've never had this problem either. I also tend to jump around activites though so that might be it. Like I'll breaking NMDs with helltides, whispers, world bosses and legions. I actually quite like doing legions and wbs.

I did a shedload of different content but was stuck with rank 1 sigils until WT4. It's really bizarre that sigil crafting is gated behind completing a rank 3 dungeon, and even stranger that people can have such catastrophic RNG.

Oh yeah, what's the difference between like... crafting a Heart at the Cormond Mobile, vs crafting an Invoker? The Invoker costs more, and I have to do a Tunnel to get the heart from it...

Heart: max level 4, decent chance at wrathful (seen 5-10% estimates)

Invoker: much more expensive, lower chance at wrathful (annecdotal, but plenty of annecdotes), when used can (maybe always will) drop at level 5 instead of level 4 (more armor, possibly better stat roll ranges depending on the heart).

Seems like invokers are for months of grinding to min/max and otherwise a giant trap.

Been noticing events breaking lately. Stronghold that gets stuck. Free the captives event that one of them just won't count, etc.

It’s funny that there’s no natural enemy in the game that’s level 56-74. It’s like they wanted to force people to engage with NMDs. Which is dumb because most people were already doing that. All this does is punish people like me who actually enjoyed engaging with the open world as a change of pace.

Do the quest line up to when you fight varshan in the fractured peaks. Kill him but do not turn in the quest. Log out/in and do it again.

I get what they were going for, and they were trying to address the community complaint (not universal, but common) that leveling 'did not matter' if the world leveled up with you
