There's an audio log in one of the dungeons where the dude recorded cause of death of all the people buried at the church, and it was something like only 2 people died of old age out of hundreds

A lot of them were childhood death and that checks out for a society without childhood vaccinations.

I like how no matter how bad Diablo gets, it's still nowhere near as bad as Elden Ring's ultra-nihilistic world where everyone dies no matter what, if they're lucky enough to be allowed to die, and basically all the endings are worse than worldwide death.

To me Elden Ring isn't so bad. And I find the Rani ending to be pretty hopeful - let's just get all this god bullshit out of here so that normal folks can have normal lives.

Back to Diablo 4, is your character special in any way? Or are they just a normal bloke who for some reason can level up and gain godly abilities?

Everything seems to be because you were fed blood petals, and then unlike the rest of the victims of Nevesk, not immediately butchered.

Side effects include seeing visions of her nefarious plans, immunity to vampire curses and discoloration of the urine and feces.

nearly at level 100 and only starting to burn out on the season now im exclusively running nmds to try to get my glyphs up which i have avoided until now. more or less i consider this season to be very successful but glyph xp is the main thing id consider to be top priority. plemty of other qol stuff like a better loot filter would be good but if i had to pick one thing to improve on its how tedious even getting all your glyphs to 15 is. i doubt im going to bother to get more than one of them to 21

I'm hoping enough people ignore nmd entirely for blizz to realize that attaching strings beyond "kill boss get juice" is a huge deterrent to bothering, even when power you can't get elsewhere is gated behind it. if they want to have the objectives in there, make them optional and reward with whisper progress, or alternatively obols, and give obols a ~100-200 option that spits out a random uber boss mat. either or

The feeling when you get a decent drop but you'd have to reroll one of the stats and maybe another stat could be better...just awful man. I think I'm at the point where if it isn't just a perfect on drop I junk it. Loot system has broken me.

Not sure I expected Ball Lightning to be so powerful, even after getting hyped up for it. Finally was able to get my Crit Chance over 25% and figured that I'd try Elias but maybe not get far at level 58, and he just melted. I think he only attacked me like three times. On to WT4 I guess.

I just jumped on and tried WT4 with my 60 baller. Everything is melting just as fast. It's insanely fun. However, the damage done to me is very spikey because the build sort of depends on a barrier of some sort being up almost all the time, but those moments it isn't I clench my teeth a little. I did a legion event and now im 63. lmao

does 900 level gear only drop from world bosses? i found a badass sorc staff 925 that i’m using on an arc lash / ball light build since its damage is so crazy despite the power attack speed. haven’t found any other 925s running a lot of NM dungeons

Well the blood petals was helpful in foiling her plans, but the being absurdly strong and gaining 20kg muscle mass per hour of demon killing is purely you.

It is also explicitly vowen into the plot. "All the powers of the thousand-years scholars of the horadrim and the prayers and armies of the church of the light have failed us, but thank god we still have Mr. Random Guy here."

TBH I really loved how the writers went whole-sale committed to the idea of DoomGuy just appearing from nowhere and solving everyone's problems, and the characters just completely accepting it and rolling with it and even factoring it into their plans.

I'm totally doing something wrong. I'm level 80 (blood surge necro, 14.7k attack power, all items 925, aside from two, fully upgraded and gemmed, imprinted with everything in this guide here) at this point and I am unable to kill any of the uber bosses. I haven't re-rolled any of my stats yet, as I'm waiting to get better items before wasting my mats. How do I link my profile so someone can see what I'm doing wrong?

I had only one across about 50 levels and after complaining about it in a post here, like 5 more dropped in quick succession.

So hopefully you've found several since you posted that.

Was there something shonky going on with the D4 network last night? I played for a couple of hours and didn't see one other player, whether in town, or open world (helltides, bloodtide).

Certainly not the issue tonight. Was just about to go to bed when I came across some dude having a big fight in bloodtide, joined him, completed a blood syphon with him and another rando who came along. We must have all then got the 'blood seekers are hunting you' at the same time, as we then had 3 waves of back to back blood seekers to fight. Absolute carnage, loot everywhere. Great stuff.

Item level is all well and good but if the actual item mods on your gear are literally just random then that might explain it

I was kind of under the assumption that the Wanderer is some level of nephalem. Remember that the "totally not a prime evil or anything" wolf takes an interest in you before anyone pulls a Million Dollar Dream with blood petals instead of a $100 bill on you.

I like to think that every villager could be a pc, they just have really bad builds and don't level. I back this up by the loving randos you find in the middle of nightmare dungeons or out in the wilds. Sure they're getting killed, but look how far they came.

What makes the PC special is that they get to rezz, everyone else is playing hardcore/

Last Epoch's endgame is a series of very short to short instances and it works very well. Also you interact with all instances from a single room with all the guys you need to interact with. I guess technically there's no difference between a very short and an infinite instance, ultimately you're just killing dudes, but the regular breaks really help, and the instance design is very simple. Imagine if every section in a current NMD was its own thing and each rewarded glyph xp and loot. Most LE monolith instances are shorter than that.

All that to say: shorten NMD's by half or so and I think people will mind them a lot less.
