Thanks, I fixed it. It was set to public, but somehow still had a "Draft" status.
Ah well. Not that it matters, but I found this particular checkpoint particularly annoying. We've all been there, I guess.

Cool. This year has too many good games. But I'm glad things are being actively improved. Hopefully I can get in there and screw around before season 2 is over. Really glad they flinched on world and campaign progress. Wonder how long before we just get rifts again lmao.

Season ends mid January iirc so you've got time to gently caress around too, no stress.

Kinda encourages you to just play and every once in awhile dump xp. I don't find it that obnoxious tbh. I get not being able to just level what you want but theres worst ways they coulda padded this out (malignant drop rates)

Because everything ui related is absolutely garbage with this game unfortunately. Vamp powers have been pretty decent for filling in holes in builds better than hearts did but it still feels like there aren't enough transformational effects in the game to really let you go nuts with builds. Give us grim dawn mutators. Let me turn hydra into an ice melee pet that chases people around to latch on and radiate chill aura. Just more dumb gimmicks.

the game is still a ux nightmare which is astonishing, while the seasonal content is fun it's an abysmal way to interact with it.

like spending down 500 potent blood sucks cause you have to spend it in 25 chunks and its slow, let me gamble spending 5xp at a time for 150 blood or w/e.

its also incredibly annoying because it's only 1xp at a time and the cost to upgrade completely means you need to do it so many times and each time for it to roll one of the 5 you want

I found that once you have your core skills to 3 you can just use a controller and mash A to spend. It’s not ideal but works.

Also debating using mouse macros to slam 1 on my keyboard to always keep Blood Howl on cooldown, like my d3 explosion sorceress had to do.

If you don't already know, you can hit escape on the power select screen and it will put the point in what you last clicked. Makes it go a bit faster. But yes it's bad ux

I'm only like 43 but enjoying my blizzard / ice spike build. I still need the blizzard aspects tho.

With some interesting implications; Kurast is a shithole that's still hosed from Mephisto's corruption in D2.

That's not the issue, the issue is every time you want to upgrade you need to: click the Upgrade button, mouse over all the 3 Vamp Stamps to remember what they do, click your Vamp Stamp, click the Assign XP button, wait for the obnoxiously slow notification in the top right to animate, then click Close, repeat. Oh and also each button is on a different location on the screen so you need to carefully move your cursor each time. Takes about 5-8 seconds per upgrade, multiply that with 50-100 upgrades after two hours of doing vamp tides and it's the you-gonna-have-a-bad-time South Park meme. Even assigning skill and paragon points is a much more painless process than the vampstamp UI.

Compare that to the upgrading gear UI which is just click the button five times and shows me upfront all the stats and requirements so I can parse it all on 0.5s.

I would love the UI to just be one click per upgrade: Show the three Vamp Stamps, click the one you want to upgrade, let me do 3-4 per second. Also show me the description texts right away so I don't need to mouse over each of them.

A toggle for "upgrade equipped" and "upgrade random" then it just spends all your potent blood, picking either equipped skills or whichever skill is already highlighted, since I'm just doing that but manually
