The class is called the Burgermeister, not the Burgermaster, and it’s a German word for mayor

Anyone have any strategies that are excited to try out? My approach is going to be clicking on the demons with my mouse button until they die

instead of holding the mouse button down, try clicking it in time w/ your swings or casts for a more immersive experience

Taking my time and I'm level 23 in Act 1. I skipped all the dialogue and cutscenes in the beta so playing through Act 1 again wouldn't be as much of a drag.

Do yourself a favor and pick World Tier 2 as your initial leveling difficulty of dicking around in the overworld. Tier 1 is purely Story Mode that effectively locks the health of all enemies to zero (with relative level scaling). Sure at WT2 they have a sliver more hp and live long enough to feel like they actually belong in their environment, making them all the more fun to try your untested builds on, as in you know like a game.

WT1 is pretty fun. Don’t have to get all sweaty and the enemies aren’t all sponges. If WT2 offered better drops I’d probably go for that, but it doesn’t.

What compels people to play blizzards new mediocre gruel (I mean I suppose it could be an actually good game, and I'm being unfair but I doubt it)? Is it all nostalgia? Is it a desperation for any ARPG? Is it because you can't avoid it? Friends are playing it? Like what would Blizzard have to do to get people to stop eating their gruel? I suppose people are just happy it isn't a cellphone Diablo. I'm honestly curious and not just thinking "you're loving idiots stop buying poo poo from poo poo companies you morons" way (I assure you I am thinking that).

Cuz it’s fun

Lol my brother's level 30 and still in Fractured Peaks. He had zero interest in ARPGs before but D4's open world and all the poo poo you can do/find has really hooked him.

So am I lol

Just do all the side quests on WT1 and you'll get there. Just had my meeting with Inarius

Do you need to salvage blue/white items to get special materials like in Diablo 3 or does salvaging rares get you the lower tiers, too?

Friendly reminder you can track any Aspect location directly from your Codex

It will show you exactly where it is on the world map, go get your toys

Not if you haven't already uncovered it on the world map

It still gives you the GPS line you can follow directly to the dungeon.

I tried left clicking and right clicking on an aspect I needed in the codex and nothing happened. I had to go find the dungeon in an area I hadn't been to before the hard way.

I'm following the maxroll Bone Spear Necro build guide and can concur that it sucks to have to use the generator skill at any point. Basic skills really ought to be better

acumen posted:

I use my generator just to fill but I get most of my necro juice from exploding corpses and that's pretty rad!

Yeah as long as you get some corpses on screen you usually don't have to worry about using the basic skill. I'm thinking I might put a couple points in passives that generate more corpses even though the build guide doesn't call for it.

Finally done with Act 1 at level 34

Didn't even do all the dungeons. I guess I might start skipping side quests now? They've been pretty cool though

The maxroll bone spear necro guide has you waste an entire skill slot on an oh-poo poo button that you will never actually use if you’re not playing hardcore

For all the bitching about special streamers being chosen to spend a ton of time playing early they don’t seem to be putting out good material

Maybe I'm bad but blood mist owns and I use it all the time, especially on world bosses. It's an instant CC break there's tons of opportunity to use it even on baby mode wt1

Maybe I'm just better at dodging :smug:

I dunno, I see the use as a CC break but that still comes in handy way less than something like a curse that increases your damage output at all times

Are aspects taken off legendaries one use? My 2nd hydra piece is getting outdated but that double skill is a pretty important part of my build...but if I can only move it to one other item I need to be careful

Yeah. You need to be careful not to pick equipment upgrades just because they offer bigger numbers. Losing an aspect can hurt your damage output a lot.

Blizzard granting professional stream dudes early access and then invalidating their builds on the eve of launch is pretty funny though

I just respecced to a shadow/darkness corpse explosion build w/ skeletons and that seems more fun than bone spear, anyway. For sure less lonely.

I'm really hoping they do what they did for diablo 3 and make the campaign optional for seasonal play.
The campaign is great but I don't think I want to do it every season. The only thing they would have to change is remove the campaign requirement for the first capstone dungeon and possibly add a different way to acquire the horse.

You can skip it after you beat it the first time

btw if anyone's getting stuttering in the game, turn the textures down a notch. Even my 4080 isn't enough to handle maxed out textures, I guess.
