zerrick shows up in multiple chapters  but yeah, the platform sequence is probably short because it was in the most recent update to the campaign and someone obviously brewed up some tech they wanted to jam in there to see how people liked it or didn't fully trust it. it's a great set piece.

Holy cow the crafting and itemization in this game are so good. Blizzard should be straight up embarrassed with what D4 is in comparison.

From what I could tell of the story, Orobyss, the other creator deity aside from Eterra, is the "big bad". Or, at least, he's the one who all the void-corrupted people pray to, plus he's the one who's talking to you when you're going through the ruined Eterra temple and in certain cutscenes.

nerox posted:I also think you are doing yourself a disservice if you just use the lootfilter that a build guide gives you. It really helps to know why this item is being emphasized and recolored so at least read through your loot filters and see what they are doing. The mechanical side of the loot filter probably has several dozen youtube guides written about it, but it's just a bunch of ordered conditionals so it wasn't really rocket surgery. The recoloring is nice for being noticed like ye olde diablo skylasers, but other than that it doesn't tell me much that I'll remember five echoes later when I look at my inventory. I just use the one from a guide because I didn't sit down for hours and spreadsheet the build beforehand. My inventory is a mystery.

Another day, another completely new online issue. Everything works well except when I need to return to town the game DCs or hangs, so I have to go back to main menu and then back into the game.

Well, I've played a melee Lich with no regard for defenses other than Leech the entire game and had a fun and easy time, but the party's over in the snake boss's second phase. Instantly deleted on each one of a dozen tries. Feels sort of rude really. Time to either grind or find a way to stack up physical resist.

You might be able to get away with just stacking health even, or preferably both.

Just make it so that every piece of loot that drops is always 0.1% more powerful than the loot you have equipped, that way you won't need any loot filter or bother designing interesting loot. Hire me Blizzard.

I think all of my gear has More Damage applied to it already, which is unfortunate now but was awesome right up to this moment! I'll check for any missing slots, and also go through my idols. Fortunately I've saved all of them no matter how lame, so I can probably throw together at least 30% and some HP just from there. My HP is just over 600 and my physical resist is 0 before beginning this process.

queeb posted:And "people are gonna love all these conditional damage modifiers on gear" D4 is extra funny because at least one person internally said "People hate just stacking crit/defense/elemental so we're going back to lots of random stats!" and then everyone hated it anyway. Also all their stats were just damage% wearing different hats. For all their technical problems LE really nailed the mandatory compromise and that sticks out.

they allowed crit stacking and then decided the best thing to do was to nerf it into the ground before any other content came out, probably because whoever designed cold damage on tuesdays got their fee fees hurt that their favorite stat wasn't used very much

I got my alt to monoliths last night and I am pretty disappointed that you have to go through and unlock the monos and empowered monos on every character. Seems like that should be an account-wide unlock.

The flip side is that the Blessings are per-character, so each one can be optimized.

not really, killing the current final plot boss gets you a +1 bonus to every stat which is very whatever; pretty much the only reason to touch campaign stuff aside from checking off the chapters (or just for the sake of it) is if you're doing a CoF prophecy for drops that targets a campaign boss

You have to either finish the campaign or do the dungeon skips to the end to get access to the two new factions that are this cycle's content (Trading or SSF loot buffs.) You can monolith your way to a higher level and then blast through the campaign later if you want though.

Boy, this game would be that much better if it was smoother on steam deck. Monos are perfectly bite sized for it, but the inventory management is eh, and having to connect to servers every time I wake it up would be annoying. Oh well, I'm still pretty smitten at this point 15 hours in.

The plot seems very bleh but it’s an arpg so whatever. This may also be partly my fault because I’m playing with the sound off while watching The Sopranos.

Learned the hard way after entering my first empowered monolith that maybe I shouldn’t have shied away from shred armor levels ago. Was having a stressful 15 minutes wondering what changed all of a sudden.

Doing the monoliths with a controller is great and the control scheme is fine for picking up specific items relatively fast (probably even faster with a decently tuned loot filter). However, the inventory can fill up rather fast after a few echoes and doing any actual item management with a controller is horrible and 10 times slower than with a mouse.

I haven't tried a controller (outside of trying on deck for a few minutes before deciding it wasn't quite there yet) tbh but it would be decent probably only playing while also at my desk with the kbm. But then I'd lose the numlock for most of my skills (I assume).

I rolled a falconer in offline while the servers were barfing and I don't know what it is, but it continues in the tradition of me disliking how rogues play in every game I've tried, with maybe an exception for BG3. Sorry, birb. Rolled a spellblade for online now that things seem mostly stable and feeling much more at home.

The only thing I want them to implement, badly, is the catalogue for Uniques that PoE has. I like collecting shiny things in these games and a catalogue like that makes it very convenient to collect and search for Uniques.
