Maybe but then the art team were probably at work and not much they can do to help with server issues

Yeah it's an adjustment but definitely this. I vendored stuff at the first town just in case the vendor had movement speed boots but since then I've just been throwing everything I'm not using on the ground (uniques and idols notwithstanding). Most items vendor for less than the average pile of gold that drops

Also worth mentioning for those who haven't looked at it, the loot filter is VERY robust. It's in the settings menu. You can set it to filter for rarities and specific affixes and have the rules set so they trigger in a specific order. This allows you to get it to something like "only show me anything purple and above, unless it has these specific affixes that I'm looking for, but also never show me trash white items, and also never show me offhands because I'm using a two hander." You can really filter it down to only the poo poo you might actually care about. And then at any time you can hold down X to disable the loot filter, if you just want to fill up your inventory with whatever vendor trash might still be laying around right before you head back to town.

On a new character, I usually start with blue and above only after the first few levels, then once that gets my inventory too full, switch to gold and above unless it has something specific to my class, and then start getting more and more picky with it as I level up further.

How's the controller support? I wouldn't mind trying it out on Steam Deck once things calm down a little.

Its pretty good. I was going to refund if I didn't like the controller support because I want my arpgs to be playable in absolute relaxo mode.

Compared to d4, the targeting is a lot more manual. My experience in d4 is that i can just hold a button and my dude hits the guys. In LE I need to aim my skill shots, sort of moba style. This feels a lilll more fiddly, but for the intro section it was fine. I suspect autotargeting is also an option, but I havent gone into the menus at all.

Anyway, games good. Servers up. Go punch eyes.

e: I only do my punching parts with controller. I do all my inventory management with m+kb

There is. In early access it was pretty hit or miss because it would auto-target the various destroyable debris around the map, which obviously sucks. But the patch notes say they removed that in the release version. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

I can't say I expected any less of a messy launch because this is how things are these days but at least there's no shortage of things to do while they attempt to make servers work. Like balatro. Lots of balatro.

Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
Man, a quest said "use the elevator to get to the council chamber" - when I looked it up all the guides talked about the person I rescued creating a portal for me and they hadn't done it.
But thankfully opening the map let me fast travel to the next place.

While I'm enjoying myself this game is still quite janky isn't it?

yeah this controller support is junk, tried dualsense, dualsense + ds4windows emulating dualshock4 or xbox pad, xbox one controller

none of them allow binding of basic functions like inventory, skills, passives :psyduck:

zoom in and out seem to be hard bound to dpad up and down

I'm going to fix this by using steam input or ds4w to bind buttons and paddles to keyboard keys, this is some dumb and bad poo poo

edit: yeah this is rear end, I tried rebinding dpad up/down via steam input, that works, but then you can't use the dpad to navigate menus :shepface: I'll gently caress with this later, not worth the headache rn

Outside of like 10 minutes of matchmaking issues I had very few problems with the 3.5 hours I played. I’m very happy with the visual and “feel” improvements, and generally think they had a successful launch day all things considered. Hopefully they keep getting it ironed out for the weekend.

Game is super good and I can’t wait to see where they take it in the future.

Servers do seem to be pretty stable now and zone transitions have been fine. So they've stabilized it in less than a day (for the time being).

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I only got to play up to level 8 before errors prevented me from going any further. As far as launches go this is as bad as D3- which until now was the gold standard of disastrous launches.

The fact that the devs were so confident that they were over prepared, only for things to go wrong almost immediately doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence for the future of the game. Given how relatively small the changes were from 0.92 to 1.0, I’m guessing the devs hit a wall and needed a big cash infusion from the launch to continue development. They will definitely have the money, and they will have some time (D4 probably doesn’t get good until expansion 2 at the earliest, and PoE2 is going to take a while to “reconcile” the devs vision with the players expectations). I really hope this doesn’t go the way of Wolcen.

Man I don’t think this makes my top 25 list of most hosed online game launches. Like it could go downhill from here, but if the worst is behind us then it’s been very successful, imo. Like massively moreso than I was expecting.

I'm calling it for the night after a playing for about an hour because the map transitions are taking like a minute, but otherwise no complaints around getting in or stability. Assuming it gets sorted out relatively quickly, I'm pretty impressed by a launch with this many players where people can at least play.

10 hours of launch day goofiness when they hit their all time peak by over 120k is an all time disastrous to you? Dumb standards or histrionics, op.

I had about 2 hours of uninterrupted play besides zone transitions taking 5-10 seconds. I wasn't able to start playing until about 7 Eastern though. Overall this has gone way better than expected.

So, uh, did they actually make a Diablo-inspired game while simultaneously giving it a control scheme that doesn't allow you to use mouse1 like every other game? Is there some other option to turn mouse1 into move/interact and attack or did this go five years unnoticed?
