I don't know at all what I'm doing at this point (fully blind going in), but I like the game so far at level 9ish. It feels more like lost ark (only put in about 10 hours and never made it through the campaign) and PoE had a baby currently. I'm playing a rogue but not sure when I can go into the other masteries but looking forward to becoming a bird person.

I should have just created an offline guy (did SSF AF anyway :v:). I'm only level 16 but leveling as rogue has been kind of meh so far. Just hitting one button to kill and then dashing with the other skill. I just got my bird and then I got the ole LE-61.

what the gently caress is this game doing that the menu screen and even the pre-login screen have my graphics card going at 100% while in game it uses like 20%. that's even with fps limited

Do you limit your fps to your monitor's refresh rate in the settings? I don't notice my 3080 preparing for launch but I'll actually turn on something to monitor it next time.

Last night I went to switch a zone and started a YouTube video. A couple videos later it was still loading so I just alt-f4'd the game. I'm usually a huge ARPG super nerd logging a lot of hours initially but they're making it hard for me to get into this game.

Personally I've gotten maybe 5-6 hours of playtime in since launch. It's pretty bad as far as my experience has gone but it does unfortunately seem to be luck of the draw as to whether people are having issues or not. I'll try for 15-20 minutes to get in while I'm doing other things and if I can't get in, I might try again an hour later or I'll just keep doing the other things I was doing anyways. Not a huge deal because I'm An Adult who doesn't through tantrums over videogames but it is kinda disappointing because the game is really fun.

I should just play offline honestly because I don't have a huge desire to party for content very much though, honestly.

Pretty similar for me. For now it's whatever but when they start having new "cycle" content they have to get this poo poo sorted out.

I just finished the campaign for the first time. Network has been solid for the last day. I don't know what I should be doing though but it sounds like monoliths basically? The CoF stuff seems like it'll level itself no matter what I do but what about the prophecies? How important are those? Anything else I should focus on? I know I need to watch a crafting video because I have very little idea what I'm doing in that regard and now there's purple items dropping that I don't know what to do with, lol.

I am a bird person and I specced into the umbral blades build that was linked. I'd rather be running a bow build with my birdie but this is silly powerful with my garbage gear.

To clarify, "clearing Monolith" = run Echoes to increase the Stability of the Timeline until you're able to run the 3 Quest Echoes, the last one being the boss fight which rewards the Blessing (and if you go through this process again you can change out the Blessing).

Cool, thanks.

What's best for monos, bee lining to clear them or full clearing for more stability?

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.

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 think I'm doing something wrong on my first Monolith. The 2nd and 3rd quests never got unlocked and my stability is at 500.


What do I do or am I just being dumb?

This took me way too long to figure out too. Look on the left of your screen shot and click the top quest echo. You do those instances and they unlock one after the other.

E:f;b

My rogue got something with spell damage multiplier (unique relic with the stats that unlock as you wear it and kill stuff). Are rogue skills technically spells? None of the skills say "spell" when hovering over them so I'm not sure.

You might need something like Shift>Molting to cleanse poison. I don't know if there are other options that wouldn't make you redo skills. That part is annoying since you'd have to relevel just for some bullshit like that.

They seem to have really buffed the drop rate, it used to be that they were genuinely rare, I'd end up with maybe a few of each by the time I reached empowered monos so it was genuinely important to make sure you were fully ready to clear it and maximise rewards beacuse you might not get another go for hours, but now explorer caches drop huge piles and they seem to have raised the random drop rate to the point where I've got almost a full stash tab of keys.

I haven't even done more than one dungeon yet (but still want to try the others) and I'm almost at the point of just not picking them up anymore.

I like the game a whole lot but there are some gripes for sure. My biggest issue is that aerial assault gets stuck sometimes in the first use in random monoliths. I can't move until I use that skill again. Hasn't killed me yet somehow but would be bad for hc. The memory leaks aren't great either for nonstop monoliths where fps starts to dip into the 20s and 30s. Otherwise I like the endgame but after doing empowered monos for a bit I'm not sure what else I should do. There's plenty more room to better my character and push higher but this is about where I burnout for most seasonal stuff. Upgrades are few and far between and progression drops off like a rock. I think I'm high 80s or low 90s at this point.

I hope we get more Weaver's Will items. Leveling them is fun imo.

Also, LP is one of the better ideas in these games I think. I wish there were more ways of actually using the LP, but hunting for it and its ability to boost up otherwise kinda lowly uniques is cool as hell.

100% weaver's is a great mechanic. It is annoying to watch your item slowly brick itself though lol. One day one will roll with good affixes. Maybe.

They could really stand to tone down the laser focused one-shotting attacks at endgame. Going through the trouble of getting resistance capped should feel like it does something not give you 0.25 seconds to survive against blood asps instead of 0.15. I'm guessing it's probably way easier for minion builds.

Any recommended tips for graphics settings? This game runs...not great once I got to monoliths. I have a 3080 and 5800x, and 32gb of RAM at 1440p. I turned things down to medium preset and on some maps it still will go down to the 40s in fps. I don't really have this issue on any other game so I'm guessing it's just "poorly optimized"?

I modified a filter somebody else set up. I still don't fully grok all the damage types and which ones are better than others for my build, so having a baseline helped. Still, there's a ton of exalts that drop and I know I'm not going to play another character this cycle so I shut off all the other class ones and weapon types that weren't what I was using. There's still a billion things dropping all the time and I have to empty my inventory every 2-5 monos probably.

Raxx made a pretty good guide that I followed to make a semi lovely filter of my own. It was only like 6 rules, one of which was hide everything and the last was show all uniques.

His main emphasis was on finding exalted items with t6 or 7 affixes, with TWO exalted affixes, and then random regular items with important affixes to your build that you just want to shatter and stockpile.

He also emphasized how you want to pick up items with other class skills on them, because otherwise when it comes time to try and craft off a bad affix from an otherwise perfect legendary-worthy exalted, you will be stuck.

Also decent idols.

When I turn off my loot filter there sure is a lot of poo poo on the ground lol.

I haven't had this issue except for one rogue skill that I didn't have enough runes/glyphs/whatever they are to increase stats on it. But it's easy enough to add a new rule at the top that just says "shows items with that affix" then shatter 'em.

if you have ank 8 cof, around 300 corruption you'll start seeing double exalted and lp 2 items items fairly regularly. around 500 corruption you start seeing lp3 pretty often and the rare triple exalt

drat. I burned out before 200 corruption. It seems to take forever to get it up there. I would clear monos and fight the boss twice before making it as far away as I could, and get about 40-70 corruption doing that. Problem is I jumped around to different timelines since the blessings I had sucked so getting any of them decently high seems to take forever. What's the best strategy, just focus on one that has the item type you're looking for and pump it a bunch of times?

Mailer posted:

If you're not chasing a blessing, then yeah go for whatever targets the thing you want. Beating the boss gives you +10 and shooting straight out is going to give you more corruption, but once you've got one up to the level you want the others get big corruption bonuses when you reset them. Getting one to over 300 was a slog, but getting the rest there is super fast.

Alright guess I will focus that next time. I've only found a couple of 3lp things that all seem to suck. My gear is pretty good but doesn't require legendaries (Allie falconer dive bomb) so I haven't had much motivating me to push corruption. I still haven't even tried all the dungeon types yet either but there's no carrot to strive for (for me at least) anymore.

You don't every have any problems with this? How short is your cooldown? I said a couple pages ago I was playing a SD falconer but having your movement be your primary attack seems like it would make it harder to move quickly through monos than if you could use shift.

I have dive bomb and decoy on numlock. I think I have the bird attack on right click, and smoke bomb and aerial assault on my other buttons. One button was a lie but that's the build name. Dive bomb is the big damage dealer, especially when you do it inside a smoke bomb. I only really use that on bosses since normal dive bomb is usually good enough. Aerial assault does decent damage but it's accessory compared to dive bomb. I never stop running basically and confirm isn't bad. A couple seconds but I've got it on my ring, belt, boots and maybe gloves (there's one that has it as an implicit I think).

E:I tried smoke bomb on numlock as well but I don't like it since it stops your movement and you don't really need it until big bads show up.
