Captain Monkey posted:I'm talking about Warcraft, the game before StarCraft, not WoW. I never really played wow and can't speak to it. Before wow there was a game just called Warcraft, wow is based on it's theme. Ah, yeah I never got to experience War2 over Kali so I have no idea how stable it was. WC3 would be my first internet-played Warcraft and it was fine. The small number of players in strategy games would still be an order of magnitude (or two) below a WoW zone. I think D4 could probably handle it just like WoW (or Everquest... or pretty much any MMO I'd imagine) and just be looser with the sync or load in lower-detail models. Then you wouldn't see everyone's purchased cosmetics, though, and I'd imagine that's a big no-no.

Holy poo poo the "A Series of Steps" sidequest (Taissa's sidequest chain) was actually pretty drat cool and you get to fight Andariel again. More of the sidequests should have been like that.

Morbus posted:It's at least every other day that I get some huge persistent lag issue and think to myself "jesus I'm never trying hardcore with this poo poo" I have some pretty gnarly footage on PS5 from yesterday of this rubberbanding problem, and thought exactly the same thing. I was going back and forth over and over while casting my ultimate multiple times in a row fruitlessly. Hardcore is a hard no with always-online. You just can't trust the servers to maintain 100% all of the time.

I haven't noticed much rubberbanding in the overworld in general but 100% of the time that I hop on a horse and leave town it goes absolutely apeshit and whenever I see someone riding a horse in the overworld the horse is invisible and they are sort of stuttering around riding their invisible horse and it is pretty funny but i'm still not comfortable trying out hardcore with crossplay on

I have been trying to run fire sorcerer in season because I hate fun I guess. Only today with an exceptionally well-rolled Staff of Endless Rage did it really come together. You can't really run full fire in the way you can run full lightning or full ice, because while those are also theme picks, they also have access to stun/freeze/vuln. Fire gets consistent access to burning and immobilization, neither of which is as good as lightning/ice side kits. Immobile is even somewhat difficult to proc unless you are playing meteor, and it doesn't really stop most monsters from doing stuff. Meanwhile, a lightning sorcerer gets to autokill bosses with stun and all the +% they can layer on the damage at that point. The ice and lightning ultimates/final passives are generally way better. I was running incinerate for a while, which is pretty satisfying, but unless you are really well-geared it does very little. The other elements are not very gear-dependent, and besides that their legendaries are almost all way better. Now with the staff I am back to maining Fireball and clearing content pretty fast with chained explosions. And of course on sorcerer you will probably want at least three cooldowns as both panic buttons and combo builders, so ultimately every sorcerer plays pretty samey.

It was the same when everyone ran ruins of eridu, sometimes you would barely be able to enter the dungeon due to all the lag.

odinson posted:Not sure how often the d4 armory updates, but it looks like you're running the Poisonslide build without the Subterranean aspect. Lose the hunter's zentith for that. It is super clutch. Subterranean, that is what I was missing! I had it on a piece of equipment, but during swapping "upgrades" around, I forgot to put it back on; thanks! I leveled a small amount last night attempting to hit lvl73 so I can gamble for a new amulet and finish swapping aspects around, but didn't quite make it. Once I hit 73 and swap out the amulet, then I can put a 150% value 6x Landslide aspect on it, and raise the stats I am low on (crit chance, crit dmg, vuln dmg, and all flavors of DR). I am holding on to the werebear equipment for the moment as I don't have proper upgrades...I also think they are fun, haha.

Yeah it's somewhat ruined my build that I had going so far, didn't realize how much mana I was regen from these hits on frozen or w.e I was doing now I'm starved all the time. Strange tradeoff because I completed a tier 35 at level 64 which is pretty good at the moment but it felt alot worse than just doing 25s without the barber. Will have to dig into what I can do about mana to see if I can keep using it.

Tarnop posted:It doesn't affect either of the lucky hit passives necros have. Not sure about other classes I *think* Lucky Hit is okay with Barber, it's more stuff like "vs. Vulnerable Target" or "vs. Bleeding Target" or "vs. CC'ed Target" or whatever. When a monster gets effected by the Barber debuff, it's not really taking damage for those 2-4 seconds which means some of those on hit effects stop working.

It's good that you can't play that other thing. This is your opportunity to spend all that time again leveling another character of the same class so that you can use that new build!

Leveling a glyph is pretty minor in terms of raw power numbers. Swapping out the board shouldn’t take longer than it took for you to make that post complaining about it.

Swapping out the board shouldn’t take longer than it took for you to make that post complaining about it. 90% of the time you need 15lvl glyph to meet the ability node quotas and double up on the bonuses of the glyph on the paragon table. These are pretty huge in terms of character power.

Stupid zoom level grinding my gears. Sorc has some decent Dr stacking with 25 percent in your blizz and 25 percent against crowd controlled enemies, I feel powerful in combat, these do nothing for the no scope corpse bow off screen and that doesn't feel like a good game

These are pretty huge in terms of character power. i dunno about other classes but this isnt true for necro. a lot of clutch glyphs get much more powerful with levelling but you can find a board that allows a glyph to proc its enhanced ability very easily without the extended range

Hmm the spend all mana at once wrathful sort of stinks, low damage boost and it shoots them in a spread. Between worlds here now because my build to this point relied on hits to vuln for mana and it doesn't work with barber, but the damage is so good. Perhaps I'll respec to some sort of meteor/blizz hybrid and go back to barber again and see if I can sort out the mana issues.
