Mr. Pickles posted:Players just want the opportunity to see the monsters from equal distance as the monsters see and attack them. The light radius mechanic is not in the game so how absurd is it that monsters can attack players from miles and miles away but players only see and interact with objects in a few yard radius It's like saying you want all FPS'es to turn field of view up to 360 degrees because you just want to see what's happening behind you.

Just dropped in on this thread. Could someone summarize the current status? Is the game bad and dying? Are player counts tanking? Not sure what is going on I had fun clicking some enemies and watching them go boom, now suddenly this place is all doom n gloom.

exquisite tea posted:Does anyone actually struggle through D2 anymore? Even if you're playing hardcore solo, D2 has been a solved game for like 20 years. There is a set pathway through some very powerful early game runewords that will completely carry you through to Hell difficulty, and as long as you're willing to burn a respec and know how immunities work, then Hell is pretty drat easy, too. D2 has not been anything resembling a challenge to me since I was an idiot teenager in 2003, whereas now I am slightly less of an idiot who knows how to run normal cows until I find a runeword base for Spirit. What I like about D2 is: - Actually dying quite a bit - Needing to think a bit about my build and being able to make really bad build choices that take planning to fix - It feels like things get harder, not just all the numbers are going up, and levelling up feels line it makes more of a difference (things dont all autoscale by player level i think) as does better gear choices. - Revisiting previously hard areas after 20 more levels and melting eveything is fun!! - Enemies in general are just scarier and harder to run from.

What the gently caress is going on here? I understand the ”Barf Damage caps at 66%” concept just fine, but, 150% is also 50%, 20% is also 200%, and with their powers combined I am captain 80%? What?

You know what, I like Elden Ring and Lies of loving P, where there is a number and it goes up and it does the thing it says on the box, and you can check the stat screen to see the exact damage reduction, and also in LoP some weapons have a crit %. Like, never ever did I have to double-take what a stat does, or do brain excel sheets to figure out which thing is better. And in those games, I felt a lot clearer what decisions I am making and it was fun to find new gear combos for certain challenges. I also like D2, where you got gear and it had numbers and the numbers did the things. Bisse fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Oct 11, 2023 |

I understand why we are deep-diving to see how an all-else-equal Season 1 and Season 2 build would compare, but like.. isn't the actual in-game outcome that it's a lot simpler? Well you can for sure just equip some things and click some demons, but eventually you might wonder why your build is over/under-performing or how some other player did so much damage, and to find out you’ll need to go down this caps-n-buckets rabbit hole. I sure hope this is explained clearly in game, otherwise have fun asking on discord and scouring fan wikis for answers. Bisse fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Oct 11, 2023 |

I like conditionals like ”Rend does more damage if casting transformed you into a werewolf” because it makes my big chunky murder button even chunkier if I pretend i’m a transformer toy. I can reduce the conditionals and buffs into a playstyle, like ”i dont remember all this poo poo but I know if I switch between bear rush and werewolf slashes all the time I do a shitload of numbers”. It’s when the affixes do a varying set of barely noticeable minor buffs all over the place that the system falls apart. There are no visual indicators of all this poo poo, damage is slightly random anyway so I can’t even notice the minor buffs triggering, and since I can’t even remember them anyway they might as well just not exist and I can just pick highest base damage/armor instead who cares.

American McGay posted:None of the vamp powers have really hooked me so far. Most of them are level 3 already because I’ve been living in the blood harvest but nothing feels crazy OP. Trying my usual caster Druid and seeing if I can make it work. Bathe in Blood seems to be my main workhorse but other than that not seeing what would help. Tried the barrier when you stand still one and it just takes too long to proc. And Pox seems kinda pointless because if I’m dealing damage 8 times before an enemy dies I’ve got bigger problems. I am having a lot of fun running the 8-weapon-swap overpower affix with upheaval, leap, 2 shouts and 2 basic skills to alternate to trigger the overpower fast. Without the vamp powers I think I would be dying a lot more to mobs.

Tokubetsu posted:Kinda encourages you to just play and every once in awhile dump xp. I don't find it that obnoxious tbh. I get not being able to just level what you want but theres worst ways they coulda padded this out (malignant drop rates) Compare that to the upgrading gear UI which is just click the button five times and shows me upfront all the stats and requirements so I can parse it all on 0.5s. I would love the UI to just be one click per upgrade: Show the three Vamp Stamps, click the one you want to upgrade, let me do 3-4 per second. Also show me the description texts right away so I don't need to mouse over each of them. Bisse fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Oct 25, 2023 |

bamhand posted:What's wrong with NMD? It's the only content where stuff has enough HP to make the combat satisfying. It's way better than any open world content at least. Where do you rather want to be: - Handcrafted open world, millions of poo poo to do, dots everywhere on the map, people summoning bosses and firing nukes everywhere, and partying up randomly to get more hell/vamptide stuff and have fun, and coming away from it with whispers, season xp, vampstamp xp, etc then jump straight to the next one - Alone, in a cold, damp, dark, repetetive AI dungeon, thats half an hour long, occasionally backtracking through empty corridors, where all the drops except maybe the endboss are poo poo, and getting reward with like half a level on a glyph.

The problem with open world challenges being ”too easy / not enough xp / no glyph points” are just balancing choises. Increase monster stats in helltides and season tides for high levels by a lot, make one of the tide quests give you glyph xp, and boom you’ve given the player base something fun to do on high levels. Sure NMDs could still be faster for pure leveling, but personally I would rather have fun for 10 hours than be bored for 5. Hell maybe even let people bloodmark themselves in helltides so now I can do all the fun things at once in the same place. Hire me blizzard

Is it good? Idk? How close is close? Man idk i guess its good? Maybe? Later suddenly I dropped a thing that had just: 4.5% faster skill cooldowns And went gently caress YES!! That’s good!

 This is Lvl67 Krossen. He loves to Guaranteed Weapon-Switch Overpower Upheaval so much he is running two basic skills and increased attack speed so he can trigger one every 3 seconds. His favourite pastime is atomizing dungeon bosses in one hit, but it always makes his fur coat red and he doesn't like that. Krossen wrote a little letter for you saying he really loves Season 2 and is having very much fun. EDIT: vvv lol vvv Bisse fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Oct 28, 2023 |

Add sockets to your rings and amulet and fill them with all-resist gems. Reroll stats you don’t need on them to get more resists. Also max health helps. Armor is great but only covers physical damage so don’t boost that more for now. Also some gear has pure ”6.9% reduced damage” which I believe helps at these levels. Finally for NMDs make sure to equip resist gems for the dungeon’s damage type. Becoming non-squishy is like breaking your limiter, especially if your build has selfheal. You see little difference at first and suddenly something gets over some magical statistical treshold and now suddenly you’re tanking poo poo no problem that used to kill you by blinking at you.

an iksar marauder posted:how does barb suck to level, you go fast and you just spam death blow? I’m running a very similar build and the problem is basically taking care of stragglers in a large mob. Ball sorc can hit a button and wipe out the entire screen of minor dudes. As a barb though I can oneshot the center of the mob, but then all my poo poo is on cooldown and it takes a few hits to trigger the overpower, and until then I am doing poo poo single target damage only. So if I don’t aim my big 1bil dmg shot right to clear the whole mob, i must spend 4 seconds basically plonking dudes with pillows. That slows levelling down a lot, by making dungeon clearing slower, ’clear all monsters fast’ events harder, etc.

Who is the freckled little freak who decided helltides should have hours of downtime in between them? Also WTF do I actually do in helltides? I don’t see any whispers to do, all the tortured gifts are boring and suck poo poo, the events are just the same old overworld events. I feel like i’m just running around aimlessly killing whatever pops up. Is that really all there is too it? I get whiplash damage every time I go from superawesomefun vamptides to these hell-snores. I hope i’m doing something wrong cause these things suck really hard so far.

Re: game too easy, IDK yet about a maxed out lvl100 char, but it seems like you choose the difficulty yourself based on which level of NMDs you run and when you tackle certain dungeons? I tackled the Elias capstone dungeon at lvl55 which was doable but very, very hard and I had to respec my whole build. Currently I can sorta breeze through NMD32 but NMD40+ would probably be hard. Outside of that, yes the game is very easy at lvl70+, but I honestly am having mountains of fun just mowing down mobs and watching my damage numbers push through the stratosphere. I deeply enjoy FromSoft two phase bosses that oneshot you, but apparently I also shamelessly enjoy killing 10k enemies/h and making numbers go big. Also Hardcore exists, but i’m worried of dying to a lag spike, otherwise I would give it a shot. Bisse fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Oct 30, 2023 |
