So I've heard. I'm not sure if I'm gonna level solo or with a group. I'm usually faster in a group and that helps especially when you have to do bounties to get your haedrig bags. Game is fun to play with goons.

Mailer posted:Did we wind up keeping the portals that meant bounties weren't a thing you had to endlessly grind? That's going to be something I miss because bounties are the worst. You're in luck, those are permanent season things now. The only weird thing is you can only find them in the open world...like when doing bounties. You'll get some while leveling though which will help with DBS and gems if you're saving your cache for the altar.

How do people plan to level? Cache vs no cache? After that, what method? I dunno what is best for groups and solo anymore. Everybody recommends no cache since it saves at most an hour. Lot of guides say to make a necro to 18 or even for the full journey until you get your bags. Then switch to your preferred class to open them since it's faster to level with a necro. I don't think I'll do that, planning to go monk. After that the rest is up for debate. I'll probably go after the cube and then massacre bonuses. Then hope for a vision or two to get the gold and DBS required for the initial altar stuff. Or maybe I'll group up and follow whatever the other folks want to do lol.

You have to get through to the 15th altar node before you need it. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to play outside the first night so I can get another on Monday most likely. If you poopsock, probably save it. It's less powerful now so it's not as important to beeline all the nodes anymore anyway.

McCoy Pauley posted:Hallelujah. That's a welcome change. Now the only thing that will irritate me is, I expect, logging into the challenge rift tomorrow and finding some weird build I've never played before and having to wrestle with that to get my sweet, sweet cache. You can try it beforehand. It's jade WD. Get the minions up, cast soul harvest every time it's up, and spam haunt. The timer is much tighter on this one than most season starters, so a practice run to find where the elites and bigger packs are helps. Just don't kill the RG and exit the game.

Mailer posted:I got through to the final thing needing one more primal to finish it and never got it in S28, so I'm expecting the same here. Currently I'm blocked on getting a ramalama's gift which just refuses to drop for some reason. At least now needing DBs is a process of just running a bounty and getting four portals while doing it. I'm stuck at the same point. P6xx. Already completed the journey but don't regret using the cache I couldn't have used otherwise anyway.

Boy I was not having a good time playing crusader until I had enough pieces to switch away from akkhan. I couldn't get blade of prophecy to drop and the minions are kind of weak (without supporting pieces) and dumb. Valor set is so much more my poo poo and great for speeds.

Swilo posted:remake games until you get a bounty for the mysterious cave Works great if you don't play on switch. Load time aren't great between games. Doing higher GRs and visions with my speedy pony kills the framerate to the teens (I'd guess, maybe single digits).

Jelly posted:My favorite thing about Diablo 3 on console is how when you enter a rift it gives you an unskippable message that must be removed with the "O" button (PS) and pressing any other button doesn't remove it, nor do it allow that button/skill to work until you have pressed the correct "O" button. On switch I don't remember any window popping up but many times I've had a certain skill or two not work for the first few seconds. Weird. Higher gems have always been at the bottom though. Very annoying.

gariig posted:It's annoying that on console you have to pick up ALL of the bloodstone in one go, no partial pickup. So you end up needing to go 3 GRs over the requirement so you can just go over the requirement with 25 bloodstone gambles. Just get to a couple hundred below, then follow this table and do whatever GR gets you to the number you're looking for. I agree it is very annoying though. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d3/t/greater-rift-drop-rate/15445/6 I gave up on farming the staff of herding. There's fun grinding and then there's that.

But if you have to identify more than one thing it takes the same amount of time anyway. I do love salvaging primals unidentified when you know they're trash, though.

Me trying to farm the staff with 69 portals appearing. I can't not go in them. Season 30 is still great, playing longer than usual for some reason. Might be because season 3 of...another game isn't going so well.

Mind over Matter posted:Isn't it? I have been playing it some and I had one quest block that was fixed by relogging in the first hour, but other than that it's been perfectly smooth for me. Honestly I haven't played it because it didn't sound like they did anything interesting to make the game fun but there has been a lot of discourse everywhere I've seen. Reddit, the thread here, the bliz forum, yt, etc. My biggest issue on d3 seasons is having to log out and log back in right when the season ticks over. I imagine there's a lot fewer people playing it at this point, though compared to D4.

Double postin'. Something I did not remember from s28: liquid rainbow doesn't exist on console. I started staff farming and it only takes the bell, gemstone, and mushroom. I had already gotten the shin bone because I hadn't actually looked at the recipe, but got real confused when I finally found the mysterious chest and didn't get the drop. What a weird omission. So with that I have the full altar unlocked. I upgraded a rare to a primal but did not get a 2nd one. It's that normal since it wasn't a drop?

Lincoln posted:What GR level are you at? I’m at GR 70; T14 for bounties/portals. Primals are *extremely* rare, and often useless. Of 4 primals total, 2 have been for the wrong class altogether, and the third was worse than the Ancient I already had. I guess keep grinding? Fill out the altar completely. That will double your primal drops (instead on one dropping, you get 2, not double the chance of getting one). Problem is that you need more primals to unlock double primals.

I'd put it similar to crusader.

I know they said no more number adjustments but I was hoping the interns got to do some tweaking on numbers. Necro, maybe wizard and WD. Necro is the big winner though. Debating playing necro since I haven't in forever. They're the fastest to level too...
