I refuse to believe that they can't whip up chat channels for all this poo poo for the next patch just give level range chats, an lfg, etc. It will be good enough until they make some bloated creation for the console losers

See previous mention of how difficult it was to add more stash tabs for an example of how difficult a "simple" thing is in the morass of hack-riddled code. Adding some sort of global chat adds a moderation requirement, but also whether it's 2004 WoW text lfg or 2013 WoW group finder there's a bunch of basic issues to solve. Not the least of which being it's 2023 and the super gregarious people who want to treat a game like it's IRC with a pretty background are in the minority.

That aside, though, it seems like the modern solution is generally "go join a Discord" and for better or worse devs just let it roll.

It’s not as good as kb/m and there’s no way around that I don’t think. You get a feel for targeting mobs eventually though. I don’t feel that it’s useless.

i thought it would be fine bc it seems great to teleport into a mob and frost nova/chain lightning but i whiff a lot and im garbage at kbm targeting for everything else so i might keep trying. is there an option to highlight the currently targeted mob? that would probably help me a lot

Nope. It’s a straight up downgrade. It’s still just about necessary, and playing sitting in my recliner makes it worth it.

Close Damage Reduction and DR while Fortify can have pretty big rolls on Affixes. Also they naturally get a decent amount of Armor just from STR being the mainstat.

afaict everyone can/should be getting to 13.3K armor and max (70) resists on all classes. i do know that DR while injured is still ludicrously busted for the spots it can roll in. something like 39% DR on 2 or 3 slots is so stupid for preventing surprise deaths, but that’s everyone too. idk what barb is specifically other than maybe grandfather + doombringer or something?

i had it on my bar on my CL sorc last season but i only ever used it for moving between packs. didn’t use raiment. i don’t think it’s worth trying to target mobs with it on controller at all, it’s rear end just like trample unless it magically targets something offscreen and actually teleports you the full distance

I’m sure it’s better with a mouse but I’m rolling through 85 NMDs no problem with teleport enchant ball sorc on controller. With raiment and tibaults I want to be warping into the middle of things constantly and it’s fine.

Gonna try a 90 nmd tomorrow, it’ll probably be fine if I get decent effects on it. Right now I just run whatever I’m looting.

You don't need thumbs for revenge
Barb has a natural 10% DR they start off with, and can get a lot of DR from Paragons and a few talent choices so that might be it as well.

There's already a chat box though lol.. Just add lfg channels and channels based on your level range or w.e

A 25 year old game where you type act1start as the game name for people to join has better social features

That's sort of what this is:

The Division 2's version of the Codex upgrades each aspect to the best version that you've extracted, so no need to keep multiple copies of each aspect in your stash

oh poo poo thats actually great. This season I played 1 character and had 3 full stashes of aspects. Maybe with that change in playing an alt isn't unthinkable.

Wish we didn't have to wait till S4 though

1-92 running TB on controller. If you're trying to precision dash then obviously that's a limitation, and it sucks on the vampiretide challenge totems, but mostly it hasn't been an issue. The biggest problem I have with controller is loot is bound to X which is also bound to an attack which is also bound to interacting with things and blizzard somehow managed to program the opposite of desired functionality in all cases.

I'm pretty sure you can change this in the accessibility settings. I remember seeing it somewhere in there.

I am once again mourning loadouts. I'd love to save my current, extremely fun and effective build and try out the Mendeln ring that dropped for me yesterday, but the time it takes to redo skills/aspects/paragon boards (even if it's only three of them because I'm only L70) means I'm not doing the fun part of the game.

I played TB rogue in S0 with controller, the first time playing an ARPG on PC with controller.....ever I think? It felt surprisingly good and I've played D4 with controller ever since.

I briefly tried LE with controller and D4 feels way better.

You can decouple basic skill and interact but 100% of the buttons are already in use. I guess I could mount interact to waggling the right stick or something but it's so stunning when they had loot vs attack and attack vs objective and they made the wrong choice twice.

decoupling interact from attacks is a huge huge QOL boost when looting, especially in the pvp area

I have an elite controller so I just got rid of target lock on R3, assigned one of my skills to it, and changed a flappy paddle button to R3 on the controller side. I'll never go back

Does anyone know of a small app that can can do repeat keypresses of a key with a toggle?

Like.. I press '2' and that toggles 2 on and repeats pressing 2 at a specified milliseconds until I press '2' again? I'm not looking for something that uses scripts like AutoHotKey or any other confusing crap. I want a GUI that lets me create a quick macro. My Razer Synapse does this, but it's buggy. Sometimes when I turn off the hotkey it will randomly pick a key to repeat until I restart the machines. Buggy rear end software..

I'm using my Logitech G13 right now, and it works, but honestly, I love my blackwidow keyboard so much more.

Better check to see if that's legal, remember Blizzard can check for programs running while you are playing their games.

Honestly? I'd rather not blow up my mouse. If they ban me, plenty of other games to play. When you put skills in the game that benefit from a trillion key presses as fast as possible, you gotta expect people to be doing this.

It's an exploit. i mean give it a shot if you like, but they haven't in the past permitted this type of app to be run in the background. I'm not telling you you're wrong, I'm just saying to look at the ToS to see if you agreed not to do this.
