I just bought this, figured I'd need some solo time to try it out before trying to convince my diablo friends to buy it anyway. I haven't really gotten to dig in yet because I'm playing a buncha other poo poo right now but I've kinda intentionally been ignoring looking too much into the mechanics so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about.

Hey this game loving rules. When this goes full release and I can get some buds in here with me this shits going to be a blast. It really feels like the better parts of a lot of recent arpg's but also doing it's own things and it's really grabbed me by the balls after playing for a couple hours last night.

I'm around lvl 65 now and went Lich Acolyte with heavy poison/DOT stuff and it's extremely satisfying melting things in this game. The endgame stuff seems cool too but I might shelve this until MP comes out so I don't get sick of it. I am thoroughly enjoying this though and after spending some time with the crafting system it's great being able to sort of make what you need with the affixes.

Ryuujin posted:Got a bunch of characters around level 26 trying out the different Masteries. So far my Lich is too fragile for what I am trying to do, can't keep the poison aura or curse aura up as my health and mana just drain way too fast. Yeah I *really* tried to make poison aura work - there's a bunch of poison resist talents you can take across a few different abilities - and was able to get it to a point where when used in conjunction with Reaper mode, as long as I was hyper vigilant about it, I could disable it in time before I died like 50% of the time. But more often than not I'd get distracted or misclick or just get hit with something particularly hard and die from my own poison immediately. I've since given up on poison aura despite it doing a shitton of damage.

A lot of changes to Acolyte which is what I was doing so I might just start over on a new class. I don't think I'm going to put too much time into this until the MP update though. One of my Diablo friends has been playing this and getting hyped for it too so I'm kinda biding my time until then.

queeb posted:How are minions in this? I'm gonna level an acolyte. They just did an overhaul of the acolyte minion abilities so now's probably the time to check em out, when I played I was an acolyte but didn't take any of the minion abilities because you eventually get upgrades that give chances to spawn temp minions when your abilities hit so I was able to take all poison/plague skills yet still most of the time during combat have ~10-20 grim reaper dudes flying around slicing stuff up without having to manually cast them. It's cool, and iirc I think they gave a lot of classes similar abilities so everyone can get some sort of minions going if you want.

Hauki posted:So far lightning Javelin Paladin is like, all the best parts of playing a d2 lf javazon with loads of flat damage, more damage and resist pen available on skills/tree. I'm still leveling it, but I two-shotted the last boss I hit in campaign lol. Thanks for posting this, I started a new game going for this build and it's incredible. It's incredibly satisfying seeing a build come together as you get key upgrades that take it from "oh yeah this is pretty good!" to "holy poo poo everything is dying around me" in no time. It just feels like all the skills in this game have so many game changing upgrades and different ways you can tweak a build to your liking and it's really great.

It's really easy to lose track of your party if they get a little too far away from you. There's no arrow that shows on the edge of the map so once they leave the boundaries of as far as the map will zoom out to show they just kinda disappear. I'm sure this can/will be fixed but a bit annoying atm!

Digging the werebear swipe build right now but I'm not totally sure if I'm supposed to be switching in and out of bear form to do maelstrom? I'm working on a node now that gives a chance to proc maelstrom on swipes/maul (in bear form) so I guess I'm stacking as many maelstrom as I can before going bear form then rushing in to clean up while mauling on CD for extra stacks of maelstrom? Edit: Ah, yeah looks like that is generally what I want to be doing. The Ursine Storm node gives eventually a 32% chance to proc on maul in bear form so looks like I've about got the idea. Edit 2: oh duh I just realized that Swipe is the basic attack in bear form as well so I'm getting chances of maelstrom on basic attacks in werebear form too. explosivo fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Mar 11, 2023 |

I like how global chat keeps reenabling itself and party chat switches back to global chat randomly so I accidentally send messages over global meant for my party like all the goddamn time.

This feels surprisingly good on a controller, at least for leveling it seems like a pretty viable way to play. I did get a hard crash when using LB to cycle through skill in the leveling screen but as far as usability goes I think it's great. Especially when you combine it with a good loot filter so you don't have to sort through tons of poo poo drops using the dpad.

Anyone else having their skills on the skill bar disappear, requiring you to set them all again? Also if I'm in werebear form when moving between zones I'm at risk of having my skills shift to the left. It's real weird!

I just want global chat to stay off and party chat by default if I've selected it, it seems like if you're in a hub area it really wants global chat to be enabled.

Drone Incognito posted:Man this game is actually fun to theorycraft builds in. I can look at my skills, check the keywords and then just take passives and skill tree nodes that synergize without needing a guide. So now I turn into a giant bug who spawns smaller bugs that poison and bleed things that I then consume to make a giant AoW death aura with my healing spriggan friend. Yeah having the key words in the descriptions is such a nice QOL thing.

Boy, uh, something seems hosed right now. It's like it's matchmaking into random parties sometimes when changing zones. My friend just got TP'd into the middle of a fight during Apophis and Majasa, at least a few chapters away from where we are right now. I TP'd to him from the group panel and it was him plus two randoms and myself in a fight about 15 levels higher than where we're at right now. I hit the TP and it brought me to the town for that part of the game (which I had never seen or been to) and gave me a bunch of free XP and completed a handful of missions for me. Edit: The dev/PR person in chat said that's exactly what's happening. I did also have one time where I went back to town and there was a completely random other person not in my party running around. explosivo fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Mar 12, 2023 |

Mayveena posted:Trying to figure out if it makes more sense to buy the game now before the Steam sale, since it apparently has had queue issues. Those issues will get worse if the game goes on sale I would think. Thoughts? The queue stuff was almost entirely from the first day or two after they pushed the MP update live for the first time, haven't seen a queue for a few days now. Game's still got a good amount of bugs and some content not yet added but I'm having a blast.

Werebear form really turns into a stone cold killer once you're getting Maelstrom stacks on just about everything you do combined with the rage buffs from stacking debuffs on enemies. It's like a minigun with the swipes speeding up as you attack until you're eventually just slashing like crazy with 15 stacks of maelstrom ticking away. You feel a bit like the Hulk dashing in, ground pound to take out most enemies around you and pull everything in, then warcry to push them all back out, do more damage, stack more debuffs, while you swipe away at whatever is left at that point (probably not much). I usually follow guides for how to build my class and it's always fun when it's not really coming together but you get the one key upgrade where everything falls into place and that's pretty much exactly what happened with this.

Kaddish posted:Just unlocked Druid and have been messing around with werebear but haven’t actually specced into it yet. I kind of feel like what’s the point? I certainly do just fine in regular form and I lose all my skills like maelstrom. I haven’t actually looked at the bear skills, I’m assuming there’s stuff in there to make it worthwhile. The werebear skills correlate to skills out of werebear form, taking upgrades along with them. Edit: I'm actually thinking "oh god why am I not in bear form" more often than not now that I have the right upgrades. explosivo fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Mar 13, 2023 |

Whew, tried the first of the arenas today and we were feeling real cocky until the last few levels. My friend got nuked before we got to the champion so I had to fight him on my own and he absolutely annihilated me. Probably could have tried to dodge out of the way of his AOE but I didn't and welp. Always good to get brought back down to earth when you think you're an unkillable monster. The glitchy traversal skills really feels bad when you're trying to quickly move around an arena floor with AOE's blowing up around you. My sprint in werebear form kept loving up and glitching so it showed me running when I wasn't, or keeps me in place. I also notice a lot of times my guy won't be attacking because I'm not clicking exactly on the enemy. There's no ctrl+click equivalent in this game so you can't just plant and swing which I think would alleviate that issue. explosivo fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Mar 14, 2023 |

Okay so now that I actually understand what I should be doing in the Echos I'm really enjoying the Monolith endgame grind. Before, my friend and I were clearing out every node and getting the max stability bonus before moving on but I had no idea about the corruption mechanic. Seems way more beneficial to rush through to find the "Echo of a world" nodes that will increase corruption after a boss fight. I'm really starting to see huge packs of mobs now which I felt was lacking a bit in the game up to this point. It's just so much fun Rampaging around in Werebear form ground pounding everything into dust.

It's been mostly fine for me but did run into some issues with a dungeon run where a friend was getting blocked by barricades that weren't actually there and was shown doors that he actually couldn't go through. When I zoned into the next area as the host he teleported into nothingness and was forced to log relog which locked him out for the run because if you die in a dungeon you can't respawn, I guess. Bit of a bummer but other than that we haven't run into any issues.
