Thanks to however rigged this vote, its pretty good.
Having fun in Satans asshole
>>2425444Accurate depiction of London
Fuck hell rifts
>>2425844i think ur ded bro
>>2425844is there a point to doing these early level besides the chance of better gear (small) or levels? >pic related since archived nowalso no I only go for the weapons with the highest numbers. I leveled sword of justice 10/10 and its replaced my main swings because its fast and seems to do a lot of dmg. only bitch is finding better weapons/mods with increased energy regen I really like the theorycrafting of the game so far. there are so many different ways to play one class
>>2426150rifts are pretty great XP for one thing
>>2426150I'm sure it's not worth doing anything besides running directly to the next main story quest location and completing whatever task it has you do. But there's what it's "worth" doing and there's the game as intended.
About to go in. Wish me luck
>>2426815don't go down the wrong alley, anon
god i forgot how rough marksman is starting out
Invite Tryxs to guild
>all game sounds muted>enter a hellrift>game freezes and starts playing demonic shrieking sounds>mfw>mfw I have no face
>>2426503That will make you behind xp and gear. The side quests are essential if you don't want to get raped by rares after act 2
RAPE>>2426150Fair enough, the AOE swing is really good, and once Whirlwind gets online, it probably will be even better.But I still recommend you giving the different status effects a try, Phys stunlock saved my ass a lot. Shield piercing too, it helps against those annoying rare niggas which have bazillion units of shield charge
Anyone want this big boy? Templar swords can't use 'em
Why are evokers so slutty?
>>2427183quite nice for a new marksman
>>2426870It has so many pitfalls, too. I was excited about rolling a RAPID SHOT 3 item and I was using it for a while, but then I realized Rapid Shot doesnt work with the ammunition skills so I was doing basically the same DPS. Ammunition skills have synergy in that they play well with each other, but strikes and grenades have synergy in that they massively multiply each others' effectiveness. Tactical stance gives you a 50% damage bonus! Which is linear with all other forms of stat-based damage bonus, so be careful. Same with crit. It's just a mess of traps you can fall into.
>>2427455Yep marksman need careful planning and u derstanding. It also takes the longest of all classes to get online. Tho for newbies reading this and wanted to try marksman you can negate this playing with others and that makes the early slog manageable. it is also one of the top 3 dps classes. Its hard but you do get rewarded immensely late game.
>>2427543>top 3 dps classesThere are only 6 classes...
https://wiki.london2038.com/Mini-GameWhat the fuck
>>2427545yes, but those 3 do way more then the other 3, Marksman is very very strong. Sniper MM just deletes bosses in seconds.
>>2427566i was wondering wtf those icons meant
Evoker is pretty rough so far. I'm in Act 2 and enemies with regen are impossible to kill.
>>2427651you using fire skills to ignite them?
>>2427654No, I'll try that. I'm just casting Lightning Field and spamming Spectral Bolts at the moment.
>>2427663Yeah lightning field alone wont be enough and if you arent phasing them constantly with the spectral bolts they will just recover. Ignite basically cancels out the regen. Regen enemies in general are annoying, especially if your a Guardian...
>no life grindan all day yesterday>lvl 15Solo bros... this hurts to look at
Anyone wanting to try any alts out at all? Was wanting to try a Summoner out.
>>2427763I'm running several, outside my evoker rn dont know what im gonna play as.
what build/class is the equivalent of lighting arrow deadeye in this game?
>>2427750I wouldn't mind partying up with you tonight, anon.Just killed the Brain yesterday, how far are you?
>>2427166looking into it phys was the right move. I got to this new place last night that was crazy difficult it was like a dungeon.>>2427763Im thinking of starting a guardian just because Im sick of dying
finally got the backpack it helps a lot because it automatically stores dismantled mats into them and other consumables so can now have a clean inventory
>mid quest>long quest>game crashes>all progress lostCan't wait to play for a hour tomorrow!
>>2427750Just stop kiritomaxxing and ask for a party. I spent a whole day partying with anons of all level ranges just for /fun/. Most of you guys are a fun bunch anyways!
>>2428990that place is hell the deeper you go. I had to keep spamming defensive consumables there
>>2428954It sucks a bit that most anons are probably asleep by the time I get online, but I hope I can have fun with them during the weekendShitposting in the guild chat is still fun, I am glad we keeping everything there instead of going for gay discord chat hubs>>2428477Glad the Phys build helps anon, a bunch of enemies seem to have resist against Poison (Necros) and Fire (Primus), but most seems neutral to Phys, which also seems to help ton if you are not farming specific bosses.>>2427763Not now, a bit too attached to my Blademaster, but I might give Engi a try this weekend
>>2427763Archangel is the only one I have in the guild right now. If you see me online feel free to invite me to a party and I'll swap to whatever is closest to your level.
>>2429315
>>2429333I've been playing this off and on in different versions for years since 2007
>-14% damagethat's dumb but I'm equipping it anyway
>>2429453Mf will become a discoball after being scratched
>>2428990>doing this nigger shit last night with archangel >it crashed when were in like part 4 or 5 and we had to restartI am not excited for the turbo zombie holocaust on nightmare and hell.
>>2429792when we're all max level we can form full groups for it. we have a nice balance of people leveling different classes in each game which is nice
>>2429792I was trying a variety of different skills but have respecced into the ones I like now. Engineer/Summoner are a lot better suited to crowd control though.
NIGGERS
London's most wanted
>>2430324Hey its gonna cost you money taking photos of me
Tf is this mode bro
tfw no demon girl gf
alright well can i get an invite now, Leonnotkennedy, feeling good enough about this MM alt to stick with.
Can I get a guild invite? My character name is Revoke.
>>2430933>No, John. You are the demons
>>2430933>>2430575You two too? Seems like every non-guildie that I bumped I to was a guild anon who forgot to join
>>2431056I was just doing a little test run first to see if i was gonna stick with the class before joining.
>>2431077If no one invites you, I gonna do it tomorrow. Glad there is still people joining.
>>2431128Oh no i joined, I'm good.
This boss fight was a bit of a disappointment.
>Level 19 character>level 9 MSQ reward with fixed stats is still my BiS weapon
>>2431655I used that for a very long time as well.
>>2431655I'm level 15 and my drone is still using this thing, but im like 90% sure I should give it a purple weapon since that seems like the most broken status effect in the game.
What a cool-looking power suit! I bet this mission is going to be awesome!
You can see a previous section of the level from this area.
Story cleared. The final mission was underwhelming and way easier than >>2428990
>>2431790>Anons already cleared normal mode when I just reached the Techsmith mindscape questYou goobers are fast..
>>2431795those gayboys are neets don't feel 2 bad
>>2431655Very normal, there is plenty of gear you will use for a long time.
>>2432807>>2431655I am still using the tutorial blue cause that shit gives me plus 2/1 in a bunch of skills
>>2432002there's literally nothing wrong with being a gay NEET.
>>2432919Wish anon was prisongay for me and larped as cute animegirl and we cuddle and slept together after raiding...
>>2432928>larped as cute animegirlsorry bud, I'm not _that_ gay
>>2432962That's rough, but thanks for being honest anon, you are better than most
what do you do after you complete the last act? just farm mobs?
>>2433028You prepate your build to challenge Hard mode. It's a Diablo clone, what did you expect?There is also a special dungeon that requires you to farm 100 of a certain orb, the first station also has a daily that give you a portal to another unique map, but you need max level to use it
Need an invite to guild, whenever convenient. IGN- Frompwibbly
this cocksucking thing gets hung up at 99% on the install everytime so far. Run in compat windows xp pack 1 or 2, run as admin, no long path names. Nothings working.
>>2433041should i turn on nightmare mode for easier leveling to 50? i keep trying to farm mobs but i keep getting killed now just from the amount of mobs. i guess i should probably play with other anons? and is stonehenge a group place?
>>2433041>It's a Diablo clone, what did you expect?more content than half a week, fuck this shit
>>2433442Stonehenge seems to be the grinding area, yeah. There is nothing stopping you from partying with anons there. The abyss secret map is also hella gud, but you need to grind the keys for it, dunno if only one player with the key will be enough, we need to test irhttps://wiki.london2038.com/Abyss>Going to Nightmare this soonYou can try, but I don't think you will survive if you are struggling now, higher difficulties will increase their stats by a ton and shove more rares upon your ass. There is also this:https://wiki.london2038.com/ExperienceIf you are 12 levels lower or more from the monsters you kill, you will get less xp from them. Partying up and doing rifts and halls seems to he the optimal way of doing it>>2433669Diablo 1 and 2 could be casually cleared in 3 days, the main appeal of those games always been the higher difficulties and farming for those 1% loot afixes, think the only outliers are PoE due to it being more of a MMO than Diablo, and 3 last few seasons since blizzard pads a lot of content
>>2433669arpgs with difficulties arent dont when you beat normal, anon. d2 normal is like, 2-3 hours at best.
Also since anons were talking about Luck a few days ago, have this:https://wiki.london2038.com/LuckIt DOES help with drops, but the chances are quite small and often more effective on boss drops. If you have something around 1500+ luck, you will only recieve Cyan or higher quality gear from bosses
>>2433249Still need an invite nonny?
>>2433669https://wiki.london2038.com/Dawn_of_the_Deadhttps://wiki.london2038.com/Abysshttps://wiki.london2038.com/Emissaries_of_MythGo grind lil bro, you didn't clear the game yet
Well retiring some gear, if anyone is looking to make a marksman, i can gear you up, my big bens will carry you to atleast lvl 15.
>>2431655Shield pen and shield overload are good stats+100% overload is like +50% damane against a lot of enemies, and 10% shield pen is like 2x damage against some (and lets you trigger status effects).
>>2433845Thankfully I got in much earlier, thank you for checking up on me!
>>2434043Np fren! Glad that nonnies are still pouring in
>>2434086dont avatarfag you faggot
>>2434101Anon is so mean..I like posting Kasumi cause she's cute ane make nonnies happi..
>>2434086Had a great Hellrift earlier around level 12, we got knocked off our horses and then got back up and ATE. THAT. HORSE. Truly a great time. Unfortunately I picked up a quest (The Sole Survivor) and five levels later and many hubs after, can’t figure out where to turn that bitch in.
this game had so much potential bros, shame it failed. The subgenre itself never really expanded beyond this game, hopefully we get a new poe/shooter arpg hybrid like this sometime in the future.
>>2434188Hellrifts can be very hit or miss, but I am glad you had fun nonny! Regarding your quest issue, open the quest tab and check with Murmur (Click the question mark button) or the dialogue bubble button, it will usually tell who gave you and to who you need to deliver.Game has a few limitations though. If you need to deliver your quest to someone who also wants to give you a quest, you won't be able to complete the quest, til you finish that npc quest first, engine limitation and all
>>2434193>shooter arpg hybridthats borderlands
>>2434101Kasumi anon is a cutie, stop bullying him, doublenigger-san
>>2434208yeah but i mean with like a satanic/dark theme and atmosphere. borderlands is pretty light hearted and isn't quite the same.
Make sure to do the Broker's quest chain for a backpack: https://wiki.london2038.com/Exinde
>>2434403>ACT 4Why tf they only give you this near the end of the game?
>>2434538Normal difficulty is literally the tutorial
>>2433331don't know if this will work but here's my patched Hellgate folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-icYz4Z1fGGWMKM_IeoIi0EJTxVtxDy4/view
