Hooplah posted:my friend bamboozled me into buying this game by saying it was better than d3 and was more like a mix of d2 and d3 with a dash of poe, so i figured i'd post my thoughts to him here u could play barb and make a double swing build if u wanna ignore the dumb lost ark cooldown bs. it's what I'm playing rn and while it isn't an amazing clearing build, I kill every boss (including most world bosses) in the first stun. Most of the legendary aspects u need could be picked up in dungeons and the only required affix is +x double swing.

They really need to add an additional tier of rolls on gear in season 1, I've been wearing some of the same pieces I've gotten 20 levels ago now. If not that, at least adjust the band so it's not the same poo poo for 30 levels.

no mention of world tier 5, nor a tune to the band of gear tiers. they still might tackle this with seasons but not holding my breath on this. not feeling great about the longevity of the game when they're gonna make all the casuals cry over seasons and not offer longevity to the core base

Mr Beens posted:People convincing themselves that t5 was coming in season 1 just because of the datamine was always a big stretch. yeah I recognize it was always pure copium. my logic behind it was there is a huge gap between when ancestral gear starts dropping, and lilleth, where you're really just farming xp for 20-25 levels, which also accounts for like 70% or so of the total xp required to 100. it just doesn't make sense for the final tier of upgrading to have a band that large, unless you plan on adding on another tier of loot relatively quickly.

Enigma posted:What does the mechanic "up to a X% chance to [do a thing]" mean? What is the "up to" based on, and why isn't it just always X%? not sure if this has been answered yet but the way luck works from my understanding is that each skill has a lucky hit % that is unchanging, and that all your lucky hit on gear/skill tree is additive to your lucky hit procs, and you need to hit both to get a lucky hit. to get an accurate lucky hit chance you'll have to take the lucky hit proc you want, add your lucky hit bonuses, then multiply it by the lucky hit chance of the skill you're using.

King Cocoa Butter posted:Edit: people saying leveling alts is fast, how many hours is it taking you to get to WT3 solo? What are you running? it took me 5 hours to take my first alt (blizzard sorc lol) to 50 solo, but i also kept all my main's banger drops while leveling and am just running the same dungeon on repeat. having 10 points at level 1 is pretty busted for power leveling tbh, and I imagine having 6 at season start will be pretty gross too.

WIFEY WATCHDOG posted:this sounds like good and normal gameplaying that many people will do I already completed everything on my main and the meaningful part of the progress transfers over in season so why would I be doing anything else on my main before it can farm helltides or nightmare dungeons? pay for power or straight up content skipping is something that a fairly large percentage of gamers do regardless if it's part of the game they play or against tos. a large part of the players who don't do that, will just follow someone else's guide on how to get to the "fun" part of the game as quickly as possible, or even what to play when builds start coming online. if it wasn't normal or common, then the gaming industry (especially online services) as a whole wouldn't be building around taking advantage of these things. you don't even have to leave the franchise to see this in action very blatantly.

Jaytan posted:Can say more about the distinction you are making here? While the renown poo poo is absolutely garbage, it isn’t clear to me how running nightmare dungeons & helltides is meaningfully different from running whispers except that the early part of the game has a much better gear progression. It seems you’re saying you want to just play the most grindy part of the game? I find making builds and then testing the limits of said builds the most fun part of any arpg I play. pre 50 was really all I cared to zoom past because then you have access to all your skill tree points which gives a fair amount of customization. unfortunately due to how level scaling works in the game, you don't really get to push or test limits until you can reach sigils, or if your build sucks.

satanic splash-back posted:No. Playing the same dungeon on repeat for multiple hours is not normal behavior and your attempts to normalize this is straight up fuckin weird. I never said that it wasn't extremely boring, but I'd be nearly as bored doing the same lovely escort missions or run across half the zone missions for a cutscene and maybe 1 pack of mobs a second time, and that would take thrice as long. again, this is for an alt. not a main. my main has completed very quest sans 10 split between all the zones that I can't seem to find. what content would you like me to do to reach my desired level of play, which is 50+?

Hauki posted:Really? I’ve done virtually nothing but NMDs and helltides since 50 and I have never seen one in a helltide. Generously, I will maybe see one in ten or more dungeons*. I can solo the bug reasonably quickly if it doesn’t get stuck in geometry, but I’ve never gotten anything more notable than the mats. I've found that the faucet for uniques in dungeons really turns on around nightmare 65, where I was experiencing a unique every 2-3 dungeons if I also did the side poo poo. like 4-5 if you skip them, which there are def several not worth doing

SettingSun posted:I stole a walking arsenal build someone posted a while back and Iron Maelstrom is a giant aoe deletes whole rooms. My favorite ult of barb’s so far. don't get me wrong, I know that maelstrom does work, but my evaluation from it is that it's something u get to use like 5-8 times in a dungeon if you're walking around vs taking steel grasp which if your core skill is strong enough, gives you a similar effect, but on nearly every screen. it also provides on-demand vuln and berserk, along with having the ability to reposition enemies out of death circles. I have a walking around build brewing up around death blow but want to clear lilleth before moving on from my current build, especially when there's a good chance it'll just be hot trash lol

Walked posted:You know. I am an old that has never played a seasonal game. there's nothing stopping you from ignoring seasons entirely if you don't care about a dumb cosmetic battle pass. it's basically an offline game despite being "always online with mmo world mechanics" due to the account bound trade restrictions. whenever I have the itch to play a seasonal live service game but not the time to play out a season, I just hop on a legacy character and gently caress about until I'm bored.

GreatGreen posted:Ok fine I'll beat the dead horse one more time, hah. This post I agree with. Maybe I should change, or at least further develop, my opinion here, and then I'll drop it. It's not that anything that removes your ability to totally freely control your character in every game is always always always 100% unacceptable, it's that I feel the way Diablo 4 enemies do it feels terrible because it isn't implemented in a way players can positively engage with. Somebody called out Sub Zero freezing as to how I was wrong and to me that's a good example of control being taken away in a way that feels fine, or at least agreeable. Being frozen in MK is a clear punishment for a mistake. You don't take damage for it though, it's just a pause so Sub Zero can set himself up for a free extra hit. Getting frozen in MK makes you think "dammit, I screwed up." In WoW you can get dazed, sure, but it mostly only happens when you run away from a losing fight you're under leveled for, and even then you can still at least cast spells and try to defend yourself. With most games that snare or disable the player in some way, there's at least something you could have done beforehand to stop it, or during to negate it. the problem you're having is you're standing in the death circle too long and expecting not to be punished for standing in the death circle until it explodes

socialsecurity posted:The season 1 storyline quests/mechanics aren't going to be in Eternal and probably won't be brought to eternal ever though. The Grumbles posted:It’s hard to stress just how much Diablo games after your first run through the campaign are the seasons. Like, that’s the real meat of the game. You may find it tricky to wring fun out of the game if you’re not wanting to engage with seasons. my post was mostly addressing people who are extremely casual for arpg standards. those who might have 10-30 hours per season to play, or even less. their progress with the map and statues are all going to be saved, for when they decide whether they got their $70 worth or would like to dabble into seasons to try the seasonal quests. you can absolutely fly through the leveling process, but if you're just trying to do everything and get the full story like you would in, say, the witcher, there's at least 60 hours of content to be had for the casual gamer. Time posted:Unrelated but are people going to play a class you haven’t played before for the season or do one you have already played and liked the latter. barb was extremely fun and actually has a wide variety of builds u can play. I want to try druid, but the tales I heard about the uniques struggle is pretty off putting. saving druid as an alt in a season

I have to stop reading the lepers colony before this thread because some of y'all can't behave lolAsproigerosis posted:Very upsetting that the barbarian weapon master stuff is all useless and there are 0 viable builds for it there's a fairly solid walking around build you could make where you use a well rolled Overkill and Ancients Oath, and you pull the mobs in with steel grasp, ground stomp, and drop the hammer. it's kinda hard to test how good it actually is since Overkill is required and Ancients Oath, while not required, brings fairly significant cdr to chain grasp, and also requires 3 glyphs nobody would otherwise give a poo poo about. you can also drop walking around and just run lunge, and when you reach a boss throw on your rage of harrogath for cdr procs since boss damage in this game is pitiful.

MMAgCh posted:Many uniques seem pretty poorly thought out. I just found a pair of the unique sorc boots, for instance, and while I could perhaps be bothered to build around their particular aspect, their immutable affixes simply don't make the cut. One of them is shrine buff duration, for god's sake. The problem with uniques, besides losing an aspect slot you might not be able to afford, is that you can't force the good damage bucket rolls and the bonus aspect has to be better than the sim loss of those. More uniques would be viable if they changed that, or given more options on gear for defensive affixes.
