Haven't been following D4 at all. Not sure if I'm liking it much. I'll keep playing and beat it, but..

It feels like a mobile game. The UI is janky. Especially the inventory. The Tetris inventory was iconic, and gave you that dopamine rush when you fit things just perfectly.

Why is everything identified. Again, that was a huge dopamine rush to unveil things. It's a silly thing, but it's real. Finding loot feels so blah now, which was the whole point of the Diablo games.

It's way too zoomed in. If anything makes me stop playing, it's this. I need to zoom out another 50%. Ranged combat is super annoying so zoomed in.

The map overlay doesn't let you see through it and play at the same time. What. the. gently caress.

Skill trees. Not a fan of the progression.

Maybe I'll change my opinion, but kinda disappointed right off the bat.

counterpoint, inventory management and identifying poo poo was awful and provided me with negative dopamine

So are you another Nephalem in this game like you were in D3 or are you just a human adventurer like in D2?

i think you're an adventurer thats been semi-corrupted by lilith which makes you more powerful maybe? i dunno, i haven't gotten past the beta part of the story yet

Is everyone skipping side quests? I just hit 30 and I’m still in snow world having done the main quest up until vigo bleeds out in his mechsuit, a handful of events, and all the side quests I’ve come across.

i dont skip them, unless its not in the direction i want to go. ive done two acts now and i stop doing the side quests once i finish the main story there and ive hit the renown skill unlock tier, then i go to the next one

Feeling pretty weak leveling as sorc in the mid 20s. I have tried a few builds, including the icy veins chain lightning build, but I just spend a lot of time waiting on cooldowns and mana. Maybe I am just bad?

i never looked at a guide, chain lightning sorc got me through t2 real smoothly albeit with some ups and down based on my own stubbornness when it came to upgrades. then the capstone was a cakewalk

just did a helltide and swapped out several pieces of gear thanks to it, game owns

no, DARK red, not light red. Sometimes zones are dark red like they should be for the helltide, but it doesnt actually have the event.

i think its a bug, it happened to me earlier where after the helltide was over the zone didn't go back to normal color on the map, even after the next one started

helltides are a lot of a fun. i was partying with a necro and we were slaughtering stuff and then he randomly got hit by a meteor and died. then 2 minutes until the end when we're beelining a 175 chest, i spill poo poo on my keyboard during a harbringer fight and die, forcing me to grab a cheap chest at the end instead

Hey, which basic skill is better for Sorc? Spark, Frost Bolt or Arc Lash? Because it sure as hell isn't Fire Bolt. I have a fully upgraded Fire Bolt and it feels way underpowered.

i used spark for my cl build through wt2 and the campaign, but switched to arc lash in nightmare for the extra stun and cooldown reduction. regardless, youll probably want one point in it so you can slot it as an enchantment. having an aoe stun that triggers as you cycle through your abilities means you can perma stun everything and stack cc/stun damage multipliers, and thats kind of the basis for a lot of endgame builds at the moment

Teleport into middle of group. Hold rclick to cast 3 static bolts. Everything explodes. Rinse and repeat.

i need that unique to drop cause what my build is really missing is a vacuum, everything else just dies and i keep everything perma stunned, but i hate having to chase down ranged stuff. also stoked to switch to charged bolts and dump cl for good, i have most of the pieces to switch already

The game should have a special legendary that you can only get if you never kill wildlife.

Or it has some ability that acts as a debuff based on the number of critters you've murdered.

when i saw two turtles crawling up a sand dune i stopped to watch them cause it looked cool. then i had to kill some poo poo nearby and my chain lightning flew across the screen and zapped both of them, i felt bad

How the gently caress is anyone supposed to be able to play multiple classes and potentially multiple builds with only 4 stash tabs?

They are 1000% going to sell stash tabs at season launch.

i dont know either, ive got 3 tabs nearly full and aspect/legendary management is a headache for one character. i feel like the best way to fix it is to modify the codex to pull all your extractions into so they don't actually take up inventory space. then you could select an aspect and see a list of your rolls to choose from

Drone Incognito posted:

We already have a cool codex to collect the aspects from dungeons.

Can we add a 2nd "pip" or something that we can use to extract an aspect from an item to add to the codex? Then instead of getting a 2% higher roll on an aspect, shrugging, and dismantling it, I could extract it into the codex to use later. Make me look forward to seeing legendary items drop with duplicate aspects instead of just being garbage. Or give me double the inventory slots. Either way, hoping the QoL stuff gets looked at a bit because otherwise I'm enjoying just casually playing the game.

yeah the aspects as items concept is dumb, they should just get sucked into a redesigned codex and then you could pick which roll you want from a list when you imprint.

you can store aspects in your stash but good luck to people who are working with multiple characters and builds

For arc lash sorc I haven't been running frost nova for vulnerable but probably should. I think these skills are invaluable; lash, teleport, ice armor, the ultimate. Should I drop hydra or chain lightning for frost nova? Im level 42 now

until you're in t4 you'll be fine with out it. exploit glyph is a good one to start with once you add in frost nova, and then you'll probably drop everything but defensives and ultimate and become a basic bitch like the rest of us

yeah whoever said that aspects should just go to the codex when they're extracted and be single use entries in there was right. having a separate inventory tabs for them but making them take up stash space is stupid

Been in wt4 for 8 levels now and I'm way out scaling enemies. Was thinking actually how we probably need a wt5 or even 6 soon because poo poo gets wrecked.

yeah im 77 and i can ping pong around and one shot nearly everything in a helltide, easily banking enough for four mystery chests in under 30 minutes. you massively out scale the overworld monsters eventually, and everyone does so much damage that world bosses will drop in under a minute unless its a bunch of <60's or something

wt5 would be good at this point because the helltides don't give me much and i just have to push rifts
