does this game have some kind of problem with on death mechanics? I died 2x times now to the exact same red explosion on death mechanic. that stupid helltide worm popped out and shat out some monster, they died and with them they exploded killing my character. I dont quite understand how defense/ehp works in this game. my hp doesnt move a single pixel at t12 not even when I intentional try to get hit but then they add these explosions and some weird exponential boss scaling mechanics, for what purpose?
We didn't even reach page 10... But at least we're getting there. Good work OP.
>It's a war plan with 2 infernal hordes
>>2476332skipskipskipSKIIP
Now THAT is what I call a war plan!
>>2476336That is after the skips, sis.
Between Necros and Warlocks, which is more fun to play and which performs better endgame?
>>2476439Lock shits for trillions of dmg and Necro is in a cuck shed
>come back after a few seasons>"hmmm lets try the old reliable rogue build">buy every trap>get preparation>get flurry>look for legendary affixes>mfwuhhh... bros? where did my fucking legendary affixes go? my traps becoming grenades? my my trap cooldowns? my ult? they didnt just nerf this they thanos snapped it out of existence. am i missing something...?
>>2476325back to /sp/ peruANO
>>2476544Dude the game is different now, shit got overhauled
>>2476314-its good to have a source of fortified and/or barrier-stacking resists is always good-endurant faith gloves or charm so you survive the one shot and can see what was killing you so you can avoid it in future.-moving is always good, plenty of shit should be trying to kill you in higher torments, so moving out of the aoes should be necessary.
>>2476686No, I will inhabit both /sp/. You couldn't get rid of me during beta phase and Scosglen memes and you ain't getting rid of me meow.
guess i'm doing the transfigure spam on 2handed ancestral maces nowlets see if I get one in 400 mats
What's an Infernal Horde and why are people in this thread so afraid of it? I haven't unlocked Warplans yet, I just finished VoH.
>>2476342kino
>>2476906timesink endgame activity where you pick boons every 1 minute round. can be 6 or 10 rounds. you get get absolutely fucked by rng and waste 12 minutes of your life. it's also boring gay and retarded
It's impressed how I liked all three mercenaries from Diablo III but I don't like a single one from Diablo IV (Subo is ok I guess but not very interesting.)
>>2476906its just kind of lame, you'll see
>>2476906Infernal Horde used to be the way to get XP relatively quick, but now it's become a waste of time where you get better XP elsewhere like Undercity orbs. The warplan tree for Infernal Horde was poorly planned.
>>2476300I need to touch on the topic of inventory and its overall management. Having recently gone back to D3, to play around out of curiosity I got a harsh reminder how better organization for it was in that game. You had small squares that each type of item could take up from 1 (amulets, rings etc.) to 2 (other gear) slots.That alone helps with keeping stuff organized. As opposed to D4 where for some reason they decided everything is the same giant ass tile size. How the fuck does that make logical sense?>inb4 muh consolesD3 was released on consoles and the tiling works well with a controller. Hell, it's probably the main reason why they went from multi slot D1 and D2 to what we had in D3. And if consoles had to be included that made sense. D4 going full retard on the system doesn't however. Even stash is dumbed down to the point where we have limited icons to differentiate the tabs with. Tabs themselves are in smaller number than the amount of loot you might want to keep (code limitations I know, but it shouldn't have been the case to begin with here)And a sidenote how terrible the runes problem was solved>Guys! There were runes you didn't really use so we reduced the 'clutter' and now all of them can fit in your tabYeah, if only there was yet another tab for the gems since the tiles/slots are still to big for those.... Anyway, thank you for tuning in for my blog, I needed to vent.
>>2476998t. didn't play diablo 2
Call me Mephistob Lord of Hatred because boy do I fucking hate this season.Blizzard definitely just glances at the playerbase and sees the same cucks that infest WoW due to all the skins and absolutely not giving a fuck about releasing broken products because cucks will be cucks and just take it up the ass
>>2477049I'm surprised people think the season that releases with the expansion is anything but good. You played for the story and should have ended there. Whether you were disappointed or not is fair game.
why did they get rid of alchemy?
>>2477247i think they said that the vast majority of players just used them for XP gain and they just made the monsters give more xp instead
burning the tree of whispers was such horseshit. it was all gucci when Elias was put there but when Lorath goes there suddenly its too far and we need to burn it down
>>2477484Yes?Elias was a dick, a traitor and the one who brought Lillith backLorath was a good friend who helped prevent/mitigate 2 apocalypses
Easiest greater lair boss for a dogshit rogue to fight blind?
>>2478304Probably Andariel but whether a boss is easy or hard very much comes down to if you are melee or ranged.
>>2478329I'm Dance of Knives so ranged unless I switch to grenades.
>>2478329Nm I pooped on Andy in 5 seconds.
>>2478384Yeah she's easy, I swear she has Varshan levels of health
why does Lilith have dick sucking lips?
>>2478773villains can have supermodel bimbo faces and big tits, hags and goblinas for the player though.
>>2476906Of all the endgame minigame content modes it is the most lackluster. Fun keys for other content modifies them so that something cool happens, good or bad. Keys for IH makes it take even fucking longer.Honestly it should play like ARPG Killing Floor than whatever the fuck it is now.
So i heard they added a few secrets, like secret pit bosses and murlok pet. Anyone got any info on that? also fuck the 666 cows grind
15 lair keys later and I couldn't get a unique with 2 good stats. across 3 uniques in my build. fml
Does anyone else have performance issues with this game despite having solid specs?I get these framedrops and random hiccups sometimes and if I take too many screenshots then the game becomes unplayable and I have to restart it.
>>2479774Yeah mate. I was getting crazy crashes last week when I installed. I set the max frame rate to 60
>>2479808- and that did indeed fix it. Sorry mate, not sure what happened there, I might be getting retarded in my old age.
>>2478773first thing I thought of when I saw her, tb h
>>2479490the pit: the first floor when you say "something is following me", look around for a scrap of paper and click on it. do this for lvls 1, 6, 11, 16, etc until 101. then spam pit 101 until choron spawns in as the pit boss and you kill him. not sure if this would work if you have "killing the butcher ends the pit level" tho murlok pet: get lucky fishing. i 100%ed the fishing collection, including all purple fish, and i have not caught the murlock pet. cow level: yeah it's a grind, but it's fun to moo at your friends and toss them a stamina potion and it's fun to deny randos a moo when they rudely demand it at world boss
>>2479944cool, thanks anon. Yeah i saw that something is fllowing me line a few times but had no idea what the hell it was, thought it was some random warlock quirk
I’ve Missed the free paladin trial and I got diablo from the humble bundle, I know that without dlc alot of the content is missing but is the base game good enough to try it out and buy the dlc later if I like it?
>>2477484Why did the tree just let it happen didn't even put up a fight? I thought it was supposed to be some magical super being? If it could have been destroyed all along by anyone walking by with a lantern how did it survive all this time?
>>2480187>erhm, uh, well you see
are we D3 now?
>>2480187>If it could have been destroyed all along by anyone walking by with a lantern how did it survive all this time?Tyrael specifically mentions no normal fire can burn the tree, and he gives you the (buffed) torch to do it.
>>2480256That's just the excuse they made up at the last second. Makes no damn sense not to have the tree be a boss fight at least.
>>2476998I think with d4 they want to give you one extra tab for each expansion you buy. I'm not sure they have thought about it much beyond that.In d2 the stash was intentionally limited, you were not mean to hoard, it was one of the resources to manage. In the xpac it got expanded, people liked to hoard items. In current form in d2r and mods they have lot of tabs and special tabs for runes.I don't really have a point other than what has happened with these type of games is that there tends to be more stash over time but never enough people always complain.
original d2 stash was this small
>>2480199shits lame to hit this thoughyou have to use the frost nova rune and the freezing damage talisman and time it
Man this season is so bad, exploits and bugs left and right. Just facerolling p150 is fucking boring
I have like 60 Uniques and the majority of them are worthless for me. What's my best option to do with them regarding the Cube?
>>2480686>intentionally uses bugs and exploits>wow this game so easy!retard lol
>>2480168Decent enough if you want to play through 2 campaigns for the story but it won't really be reflective of proper endgame content.
>>2480893>cheats game>wonder why it's easy and boring
Do I bother rolling it?
Dumb question but how do I do Infernal Hordes?
>>2481144That's the best part - you don't!
>Butcher spawns in my pit>Makes zero sound>Does a frame 1 charge>Instakills me before I can even reactGreat game, Blizzbabs
almost finished
anon why are you playing this pozzed deislop game
>>2481774How did you do it.
>>2481961grinded 6 round hordes with the chaos portal talent nodes
>>2481998>6 roundFUCK ME.
anyone need a selig or tyraelsdropped a 4 ga selig so dont need these anymore
rogue bros: glynn's anvil aspect is great for chest slot. get that resolve node in concealment, GA your resolve stack temper and masterwork crit it, and walk around with 88% damage reduction
>>2482031Yeah me
>>2481528I figured I'd go through this season on normal before trying hardcore since I normally play hardcore in arpgs but I am not going to do it for D4 because this game is way, way more unfair bullshit than any other arpg I've played, and that's saying something since I've taken every class in D2 through hardcore Hell and there's some real bullshit in D2R that doesn't scratch what D4 pulls.
>>2482069sent (:
We really need more storage space.
cant do warlock anymore why is every spell the same color
>War plan levels are not shared between characters
>>2482317it’s insane how limited the storage space is. that + the obol limit is just astounding to me.
Why is this general so fucking dead? Is this not really a popular game?
>>2482945i think people just burn out after the first few weeks of season start
>>2482945some games just dont do well on 4chan as far as generalslot of popular games dont even have generals, like counterstrike or valorant
>>2482945First time here?
kek the fanta portal sucks
feels like hordes got "buffed" monster levels seem higher. way to make the worst event in the game even worse blizz
>>2482473Apoc spamming is pure cancer, can't fucking see shit
>>2483031wish there was a warlock build that doesn't go into meta and that isn't apoc
>>2483110There's minion build but it's boring as fuck
did they fix sorc after the accidental nerf? finna make one tomorrow
>>2480549based
>>2481774i will never get there. i'll do every other meme activity muh cows muh fish muh portals etc but never get that to 7
got btfo by mephisto in phase 2 (two)
do you guys have any tips? yes i have endurant faith charm. i'm playing dread claws.. should i switch?
>>2482945It's because>it's /vm/ not /vg/>season boom is fading>it's a blizzard game and blizzard games get shit on by default on 4chan by people trying too hard to fit in>4chan is full of poe players who also shit on diablo by defaultBeing on a lower traffic board is for the better
i dont understand why this thread is not /vg/
>>2483231based autist. we've been over this countless times.
i've never been in this thread until today so i dont know faggot
>>2483234thread is not fast enough, it would just get bumped into oblivion by the 100 different gachas generals
Am I missing out if I never play the base campaign. Bought the game last week, just playing a seasonal char through the new dlc. Should I bother next season with the base campaign. I’m lvl 60 rn
>>2483388>Should I bother next season with the base campaignDo you care about the story you've seen so far? If so, maybe.I'd wait until next season regardless unless you really want to push the endgame ASAP. My first character did base game + VoH seasonally and the seasonal gimmicks were a fun distraction while going through the campaigns.
>>2483388i got it from the humble monthly bundle and bought the dlc and played all 3 campaigns, it wasn't very long if u just beelined the main questhonestly i didn't really care for it, but I wanted to at least do it to see it. but again, i quite literally don't recall a single moment that i thoroughly enjoyed. there are a few cool moments in the pre rendered cinematics but i mean, they have to at least do that to get people to buy it in the first place
am i crazy or the top guys use WASD to walk? im new ofc
>>2482996>lot of popular games dont even have generals, like counterstrikeThis one I really don't get. People love shit talking and there is tons of material with their vast esports. Blows my mind that there is no place to talk about CS on 4chan.
>>2482945D4 badYou fucking dumbass thought it was a funny maymay?
How the fuck do I leave the ~100 million damage hell? I got carried through T8 Lilith but I'd like to do it on my own now.
>>2483791Just pick a meta builid it's not difficult.
>>2483799I'm sure one can get to at least a billion without having to follow the meta though, right?Building your character is half the fun, I'd rather not outsource the whole process to someone else.
>>2483815Blizzard doesn't make those kind of games. This isn't poe where you can workshop your own build. You either follow the meta or face the wall. You can't force shitty skills to not be shitty just because you try really hard.
D3 mercs>misguided zealot who develops compassion and agency>quipping scoundrel with a heart of gold>cute awkward mage sidekick who was went through time to aid youD4 mercs>one-armed homosexual Jew>annoying demon kid>asshole with dialogue drier than the Sahara >ugly old hag girlboss cannibalWhere the fuck did we go wrong?
>>2483818>You either follow the meta or face the wall>This isn't poecome the fuck on lmao
>>2483570Force move i reckon
>>2483570The top guys don't walk, they just teleport to move.
Why does this game shit on Inarius so much?
>>2484068Because he was a cuck
>>2484068They generally thought hating on men is cool while forgetting it wasn't really logical to prop Lilith to be some neutral lawful humanity lover since even during the events of LoH campaign her demons are still roaming the sancutary screaming for "blood for lilith" (or something along the lines)
>>2484081>penetrated Lilith so hard she was banished from reality>somehow this makes him the cuckold???
>>2484068>what if we subverted expectations and made an angel le heckin' bad while making a demon le fricking good
>>2484085>>2484094It's just weird the tonal shift when you find the memory of Inarius, immediately my normally pretty reasonable and stoic character called him a "dunce" and over the course of the scene he was called a retard three more times, called weak over and over, etc. This is a guy who has been chained up in Hell for basically eternity being tortured by the literal villain of the game, IDK it just felt like there was aggressive contempt for this character who is at least a little tragic when you think dispassionately about it.
>>2483961I was hoping we got Tharra as a new merc, shame
>>2484094I wouldn't call Lilith "good" desuMephisto is also portrayed as shitting and crying when he's defeated so who cares if one angel is depicted as patheticThough I liked the "most angels are selfish and ultimately only care about themselves" approach more with Imperius
>>2484176Angels aren't even selfish, they're just acting within their nature. Humanity from their POV are just a less insidious version of demon. They don't really owe humanity any sympathy.
>>2484176Imperius literally did nothing wrong
>>2484092He was in Mephisto's cuck chair for like 10000 years
>>2484099Yeah the story is pretty bad. You collect three pieces of a sword and then it's over. Really lame as fuck material.
>>2484361Mephisto wasn't fucking his wife in front of him, therefore it is not a cuck chair. If anything he cucked Mephisto, by fucking his daughter, the Ultimate, Final Cuck, according to the hobbit with the pipe. Not only that, but Lilith is made from Mephisto's essence, so in a way he impregnated Mephisto. If anything Mephisto is the cuck.
>>2484362>You collect three pieces of a sword and then it's over.Given Blizzard's track record, the shorter the story the better.
im breezing past the game on my first run in expert, i have very little experience in arpgs. is the this easy and gets stupidly hard later or what
>>2484868If it's too easy put it in penitent, you'll get better loot and XPBut yeah the campaign is pretty easy
>>2485597expert is the highest i can go before finishing the game
>>2485639well that fucking sucksbravo blizzard
>>2483705used to be a csgog ages ago. not sure why it ended
>>2483815you probably can. what class are you playing?some skills just kind of outright suck though, so if you don't pick at least one of the top ~3 you're gonna be stuck doing jack shit probably. But theres a lot of leeway even if you're not 100% meta to get to at least the 100billions which should let you do t12 content depending on your survivabilityto hit 10s of trillions though definitely needs a lot of thought-out synergy which is why its reserved for the more meta builds
>>2484868you will hit a difficulty wall in the torments probably unless you're following a build pretty closely. I think I just winged a necro minions build until like t8 where I started not being able to kill shit
do we like diablo 4 better than 3
>>2486297yes
>>2486297yeah
logged in today and i was taking forever to kill anything i thought something got nerfed. however. drunk last night me found a charm upgrade i swapped out and it turns out it was for a different set so i wasn't getting the right bonus kek what a retard
i am the lorath, and I speak for the Horadrim
>stuck in T10
>>2483705>Blows my mind that there is no place to talk about CS on 4chan.anon, the second fastest thread on this board (which isn't saying much, but still) IS the counterstrike 2 generalthere's even another thread that's explicitly for everything BUT the esportslike, it's bad but it's not valorant-tier bad
>>2484868blizzard is retarded and there's no reason why you shouldn't just automatically unlock the pit at level 70
>it's an infernal hordes weekMaybe this is a sign to stop.
>>2486574iktf
Brehs I'm not enjoying paladin this season. Barbarian or Spiritborn?
>>2486734probably barb. i haven't played either but i think barb and sorc are the best?
i dont know why I die 90% of the time as cartoony as D3 was at least you could clearly see shit
>>2486734really good barb season for 1 build with variations. Sorc strongest as always
>>2484598Explain the joke please. :)
Holy shit sorc feels so much more fun to play than warlock. I've been wasting my time frens.
>>2485838>what class are you playing?Hammer spamming Paladin + auras + constant arbiterI'm pretty sure the skills aren't the issue, I just really focused on arbiter duration so I didn't have to spam cds to keep it going when I should've gone for more dmg and crit rateI should also probably get rid of Sundered Night but I love covering my screen with consecration.Right now I can get up to 200 million.
I just got carried through Lilith but I've been fucking around on T10 for a bit now. Is the Mephisto fight fun or should I retire now until next season? I'm kinda really tired of not being able to see shit on the ground.
>>2487381Instakill mechanics just like Lilith
>>2487381insta poison faggotry
>>2487671>>2487687Gooooooood to know! I'm out then.
>>2484068>>2484099inarius is a retard and got what was coming to him for consorting with demons, but my issue w/ the story is like what >>2484085 said; Lilith being turned into a dindu despite letting people get killed and maimed and tortured is just wrongi know the game lets you pick dialogue choices here n there, and i think it would've been nice if you could at least ultimately pick how your character feels about lilith, instead of fucking spreading her not-ashes into the ocean while sentimental music plays
>>2487702>instead of fucking spreading her not-ashes into the ocean while sentimental music playsBiggest issue imo. Even if you're a simp for her there's no denying that Sanctuary is suffering its particular wave of shit right now because of her failed conquest. It's also annoying because she's a fucking Demon and wasn't exiled again, she's just in Hell somewhere reforming and who knows how she'll feel the next time around.Also, I think Inarius should come back via his "reincarnation" or however you would describe the reformed-but-mindwiped Angel respawn system. As far as I know we've never seen who was confirmed to be reformed from another dead one, even though logically there should be a lot of them, and Blizzard does love redemption stories. Would be nice to see him reborn and re-take control of the Knights Penitent and turn at least some of it into proper paladins and not discount Scarlet Crusaders.>but the mind wipe...Just say he was tortured too much for the mindwipe to take full effect or something.
>>2487728>Blizzard does love redemption storiesSorry, anon, they don't do those for male characters.
Are Lair bosses the best way to farm mythics? Should i even bother at only T10?
>>2487757yes but really, ya should run mythic tribute rotas desu. i've crafted 4 mythics on my own via sparks and breaking em down and it's been heart of salvage every time.
So I just unlocked Torment 1, what should my focus be on, getting my paragon levels up? or targeting gear?
Kek
>>2487803Paragon leveling starts out super quick and will come with anything you do, when it seriously starts to slow down around 125-150 then you focus on grinding it.Gear matters more imo at that point. If you aren't following a guide this is where you need to be pushing your build to see what works and what doesn't, and if you are then you need to keep an eye out for the gear you need, hunting for aspects, stuff like that. At T1 uniques are few and far between, at around T5 you'll be swimming in them. Read up on the cube but don't worry about it too much for now, just now to save anything ancestral with GAs as it may be useful later. I would also say hold off on transfiguring anything unless you're absolutely sure it's a stopgap piece of gear.So tl;dr focus on gear, refine your build, fuck around with the cube except transfiguring for now, keep anything with a star for later.The only other piece of advice is don't sleep on leveling runes. You'll eventually get them all so figure out 3-4 to focus on.
>>2487842Thanks, the game’s systems seem to open up quite a bit from the 60-70 range, Lair Boss, Pit, Nightmare Dungeons, Undercity all of it wtaf. I’ve just been salvaging everything I don’t use up to this point. But I’ll keep it in mind. I’m running a sorcerer and so far the game has been pretty breezy, just playing around with stacking ferocity and shooting blue balls at everything. Although my build does feel to be slowing down unless Unstable Currents, I think it’s called, the ultimate power, is online. I’ll have a look tomorrow if there’s better builds out there for the spec.
>>2487803just spam warplans. theres alot of power in the paragon nodes. some builds need a certain paragon setup to actually work. gearwise I would target required uniques from lairbosses. also dont be afraid to use the cube. mid items can easily be crafted into decent ones
>>2487817/fit/
why is this general so dead if diablo is better than poe
So be it!
>>2489534That's for YOU to know and YOU to find out.
ded
>>2489534everybody here is playing instead of shit posting
You impetuous fool!
NO NO NOO
>>2489534I prefer Diablo over PoE and I am the canon consciousness of the universe so I'm the deciding factor.
>>2489630>I am the canon consciousness of the universeAre you a bejitabro or gokuRAT?
>>2489647I've never really bothered to watch the Dragon Ball stuff but from what I hear and see second-handed, Vegeta sounds like a much more compelling character, I do prefer his visual design too.
>>2489534What is there to talk about? These kind of western games don't get fanart, there's little to no deep gameplay or lore to discuss. Everything that could be said about the expansion has been talked about ten times over already. There's literally nothing to do but shitpost until the next season and blizzard games aren't really even worth shitposting about anymore.
>>2489654>Vegeta sounds like a much more compelling characterCorrect, but you left out that he's also more intelligent and handsome.
Think we'll get an expansion teaser at Blizzcon or is it too soon?
>>2489713blizzard is no longer the company gamers fell in love witheven if they announce an expansion, nobody will care, it will just be another generic equity slop
Post you're horns.
>>2489534d4 is very casual, the systems aren't as deep or incomprehensible to most people like PoE is. I didnt play until last season so I missed all the growing pains for D4 and I think its a pretty good game and this is coming from a long time PoE1 player (waiting until launch for PoE2 probably I'm not paying 40$ to beta test)
oh piss off just give me both gem and modifiable already instead of one or the other
>>2489950>hornfagsgrim
>120 hours on main character>no mythic sealfml
>>2490278Mephisto drops mythic seals
>>2490329i killed that lil nigga so many times
dude fuck the butcher in pits. what a fucking asshole
>>2490340It has way too much health
>>2490278Fight the Burning Butcher or Harbinger for MythicsStill low chance, but disproportionately higher in my experience, even for Seals
>>2490503i heard the burning butcher has high rates, but he didn't drop me anything. i guess i'm more inclined to spam harbinger, cause he can drop useable uniques for my build at least and *ugh* my kid just got into a car accident tonight (he's ok), so yeah i'm kind of in the mood to mindlessly spam boss fights for the rest of the night i guess. my car is totalledddddd
>>2490503hey, do you open this one too? or does it never drop mythic seals?
Does anyone understand WHY this multiplicative damage pools (buckets) system is in the game? Is it just to diversify builds so that crit dmg isnt always the top stat to go after?
>>2490626d4 has always had the multiplicative damage --but it's nice now that the elements etc can also partake of that. idk why you're mad about it--it used to be only crit and vuln. it's a lot broader now! heck even "damage on time" is valid, never thought i'd see the day
Wake me up when DB barb have a pulse.
Snu?
>>2490570sorry to hear about your car but more importantly, glad your kid is okay
>>2490672i really tried to not tweak out about it, and i hugged him a lot. his guardian angel is working overtime!!!
you’re hitting for 30 quadrillion right bros?
>>2490684Nah avoiding all that bugged and exploited shit
>>2490680mine's 17 and i worry about him constantly lol
>>249072117 exactly! it's so nervewracking. i am 3 whiskies in right now...
>>2490721>>249074417 is too young to drive, bump it up to 21 imo.
I know this is kinda a gay ass question but here goes. I played d3 story and some seasons is d4 worth getting into or is it kinda just for arpg addicts?
>600 set charm rerolls>not a single +4 skill upgrade
>>2490818d4 is pretty casual friendly bro.
>>2490818It's fun, but I'd get it on sale. Game could use a big balance patch too to rough out the more fucked up bits from launch. Also, the next season should start in early July right around the steam summer sale where it should go on a decent discount.
>>2490820oh cool, straight up didn't know how grinding was, my last reference for arpg is lost ark after playing d3
>>2490860is steam better or battlenet store?
>>2490869The benefit is that you'll get to natively use all the aspects of Steam with it.The downside is cosmetics are buggy on Steam (you have to do a lot of Hold M1, click M2, then release M1 to equip things) whereas the wardrobe just works on Bnet.
>>2490869can go either waypersonally i got the humble monthly bundle for $15 and then bought the base expac for $40 afterwards
>>2490901>>2490907ill just get the steam version since I leave that up for updates, don't care to much about cosmetics dont really buy them
>>2490901Yeah I noticed that, I’m on steam and Season, Reliquaries, and the wardrobe are super buggy. What about the steam version makes it so?
>>2490818for what it's worth: i played d3 with a fren, and when d4 launched, he didn't want to learn new systems (old retired guy), so he stayed with d3. maybe 4 seasons ago, i talked him into trying out d4, and he hasn't gone back to d3 at all since. i think it's hit a sweet spot with the recent expansion update: casuals can just get on and quickly do the season journey and leave, and other people who want to grind for the flawless horadric gems and crazy transmutes and achievement thingies (and i guess leaderboard, but without ssf it's stupid, anyway i digress) can play longer.
Skovos. An entire expansion, of girlbosses.
>>2491751the amazons cat-fighting with each other was highly accurate tho...
All these on-death gotcha effects are getting old.
gem farming
>>2492322at least I found use for this
>>2492322i have tons of sapphires, amethysts, and rubies if you want to trade grand gems 1:1 (i need emeralds)
I wish the story would stop pretending Lilith is anything but self-serving.
>>2492368I don't trade and got my gem and I am lazy to interact
what should a fresh 70, just finished campaign character doi took a minibreak after the campaign and i have the warplan "quest" next.i dont really care about lvl 90000 paragon, but i wanna experience "end game" and at least push until i dont wanna push anymore. also unlock some of the legendary weapon/armor cosmetics i still dont haveand store smoe favor tokens too (im told this carries over between seasons)
>>2491375I don't know but it's pretty goddamn annoying, not that Blizzard is in a rush to fix cosmetic bugs
>>2492908>what should a fresh 70, just finished campaign character doHelltides, nightmare dungeon keys (save any that have the Horadric storageroom or whatever affix until around torment 5), and lair bosses. You'll also end up completing a lot of whispers between all of these. Around t3/t4 start doing pit runs regularly and level your shit.
Fuck I wanna get new expac, but poe2 release is next week. Sucks
>>2493056Okay I played a little and got to Torment 2My gear are still all 850 except for the one piece of 900 Ancestral from turning in at the tree. Is this just how you upgrade basically? Just more turn ins at the tree? When can I expect 900+ gear to drop normally
>>2493345 (Me)Also I feel like my homebrew hammerdin sucks
didnt want to have to copy/paste a build from the net, but my barb has hit a brick wall at torment 6. i obliterate packs but i do basically zero damage to bosses and die instantly to boss abilities.
>>2493345you wont see much 900 gear drop until like t8 yea thats how you gear up, also turn in the Obols at the curiosities vendor to find stuffdont forget about your mercenaries, you can barter with one of them to buy different equipment and lootboxes
minion barb MOGS ww barb so hard. holy shit
>>2493849Tried it and I couldn't see shit with ancients popping left and right, went back to ww
>>2493849>trying to bait people into getting carpal tunnelhaha
>>2493946bro you play ARPGs, your wrists are already fucked
Ran into my first wall. Instantly one shotted by the big wave. Are other lair bosses easier? I just got an ancestral 2h from world boss, maybe this will be easier now.
>>2494092lilith is just OP. some of the others like varshan are a joke
>>2494092Echo of Lilith exists solely for challenges. Her fight is full of bullshit 1-shots, and to reinforce this she has both a dropshit AND incredibly small loot table for drops. If you need to gear up do literally any other lair or greater lair boss.
>Mephisto's daughter is Lilith>Diablo's daughter is LeahSo who's Baal's daughter?
>>2494262Moe
>>2492908warplans are a great way to guide you through the endgame because they have you do a bit of everything
>>2494262Leeroy
>>2494262baal is gay as fuck have you played diablo 2
>>2494422Leah was "natural" and Lilith was basically lab-grown so Baal could just adopt.
>>2494262>lord of destruction procreatingnope
>>2494116>>2494256OhWhy the hell is it a priority quest pointing you there after you enter Torment then
>>2495100They did it to make you waste your time, as a joke
>>2495100its a vestige of the old endgame that blizzard didnt take out of the game for some reason
how do you figure out how to unbrick your dogshit homebrew build? i hit T8 and im starting to get oneshot by random exploding rare packs
>>2495264>he doesn't know
do i save lair keys or can i just use them now at lower torment
What the hell is this? I transfigured these gloves, they got locked, but there's no transfigured stat?
>>2495907are you sure it didn't get more stars?
>>2496097No it had those 3 to begin withwithDoes transfigure have a chance to do nothing?
>>2496159it does something always
this game sucks without the dlc fuck this shit im not buying it yea im poor fuck you too
>>2496338>dlcYou mean the expansion?
>>2496429whatever lord of hatred is
I'm in Torment 5 using items on the left side and not making much progress in the pit that unlocks Torment 6I also want to switch to Zeal because I'm getting bored of hammerdin now and I think have most of the Aspects needed. But do I use the unique or the much higher item level weapon?
>>2496608you should temper crit damage into the weapon, add socket and put in a gem
>>2496634which weapon
>>2496641The left one for now I suppose. Is the right one zealer meta item? once you farm ancestral version maybe go with that
>>2496661you want me to upgrade the hammerdin weapons? i dont really wanna play hammerdin anymore, unless zeal actually is worse.
>>2496672my post was about the two handers
also do people still do citadeli just found out some transmog im missing are from there
>>2496678But the right one is already Ancestral, what did you mean by farm the Ancestral version
>>2496686the unique two hander is not ancestral
>>2496679you will grind for hundreds of hours for those transmogs, unless they fixed the drop rates of that and didn't tell anyone about it
I want to buy this sex outfit but I don't want to pay 25 eurobucks. When does it go on for sale? How does this rotation thing work?
>>2496782the super discount thing is a "personal" shop, kind like league's if you ever played thatso we have no way of knowing when you'll get it.
>>2496760Well I googled around and it seems like people say it's fixedAnd that the bset drop is on Torment 4, which I'm pretty comfortable withThe only thing is the fact that it does not have a solo mode and needs a party member....
Ive read that necro is kinda the slow apm class, any others like it, or perhaps a ranking of the other classes on apm? I dont have the fingers like I used to.
>>2497167I've got arthritis and the go to for me when I don't want to click a lot is rogue dance of knives or barbarian whirlwind. Both are super comfy, you just activate a few skills every now and then but mostly left click once and then just move your mouse around. Both builds are pretty strong this season as well so you won't even feel gimped.
>>2497185ok cool, thank you
>>2497185>rogue>low apmHaving to click imbuement even 5 seconds sucks ass. It should just be a passive ability
>>2497387every*
>>2497387You don't have to click it almost ever with dance of knives. You can increase the time it lasts on the shadow one to make it infinite and the poison one almost double the time. Trust me it's absurdly comfy you won't find another build that pushes less buttons.
Switched to Zeal and made it to Torment 6This thing is no good anymore right? They nerfed the build?
>>2497167>>2497185play with a controller, it's ultra giga comfy
>>2497387you can autocast abilities
>>2497803oh yeah, it has been so long since ive played an arpg I forgot that was an option. gonna half to see if I have an old dusty plug in one to use.
>>2497803ive tried a bit and its so awkwardi need to find some worth doing but piss easy farming thing i can do with a controller to get used to it
is static blizzard sorc really this brain dead. It hasn’t even been that difficult to prepare the gear for it either. Total Unga Bunga victory
what class to first go through campaing
>get Belial one(1) time>pick Butcher loot>drops FIVE(5) boots instead of an ancestral red sermon I think I played more D4 in one day today than I ever did before and it ends in disappointment.
>>2497708my dawnfire auradin made it to t10 and then petered out, it just takes too long to kill things
>>2498971Fuckers nerfed the shit out of paladins.
>>2498971I dont know if I have the will to get to T12.Never did D4 "end game" until now but so far it's basically "Get the Meta Things + Dont Get 1 Shotted = Congrats you pushed to another Torment"
Have you farmed your 12 GA items this season?
>>2499513Pretty much, but at least you can pick any build that catches your eye on maxroll and go with it. It doesn't even need to be S tier.I respecced to zealadin and finished the season journey without much hassle so now i will try to make auradin work.
i have some random shit that you can transmute in the cube for a boss drop. like butcher's or urviar'sobviously you already farmed the shit out of the lair bosses on your existing character, so are you suppose to save this shit for your alts? do they disappear once you get booted back to eternal realm
How do you get that orange flaming sword with the bright outline?
>>2499795It's Doom collab skin
>>2499850so its no longer attainable?
>>2499795Doom collab event, it's no longer available. It's more red than orange though.
They removed aspects from dungeons? Gotta pray for drops to unlock that shit?
these activity tree nodes are so bugged... >undercity initiative node doesn't change your drop quality >varshan node, when he spawns, doesn't drop anything >butcher never spawns in pit>choron portal in pit takes you someplace useless >hell's prize chest costs a lot and doesn't give anything better than mystery chestmuch less to mention the bugs with nodes stacking if you switch activities in the dungeon...
is this worth doingthe 3 dungeons were all kind long but it did gave a lot of obols
>>2500180They can be pretty lucrative yeah. If you have 3 consecutive nightmare dungeons in your warplan it's a bonus. Astaroth also has his own unique loot pool
>>2500180not reallyit seems like the only way to get bis gear in this game is to get a random blue or yellow drop with at least two 2*s applicable to your build and hopefully cube them to permanent gear.
I'm confused about dark citadelThe loot table all seem to be outdated and specify T1-3 or T4 exclusive (great khazra)Does doing it on T7 or T8 not give you those drops?
>>2500476It does, normal set drops up to T3 or so and greater set is T4+ or atleast it was before LoH
cant get an ancestral red sermon to drop and pit 70(the one that unlocks torment 9) is filtering meshould i just go all in on this instead. dont have all the masterywork mats in the world.
>>2500603Do you not have access to the cube? If you do you can upgrade a white ancestral into unique
>>2500603grandfather is pretty good out of the box, MW not necessaryjust enchant and gem it
>>2501161i havent found an ancestral white sword yetbut anyways i went all in on the grandfather and made it to torment 9but now the torment 10 unlock pit is filtering me now even with the gf
>>2501286You can also use a blue/yellow, just remove the affixes in the cube. Obols vendor can be handy to get them too.
who else losing hopei havent been counting but I probably spent 400 of these things
>>2501312Yeah, I have been on the look out for them.I'm a little perplexed where I can squeeze out more stats to get into T10. I have done as much tempering, masterworking and socketing as I (reasonably) can on the few decent ancestral pieces I have. I know there's technically a few more thing I can do but I figured that would be the kind of min/maxxing autism that's needed for T12, not to just get your toes into T10...
>>2501389i got gem strength transmute! on my pants...
well at least i've found 66,666 aether anywaygetting close to 200 hrs total season playtime, if i add the 3 characters together FML
Can't decide which would be better for my Minion Necro.Also>Dark citadel is bugged and drops ZERO coinsBravo blizzard
>>2501645Heir
unwanted uniques are piling upwhat to do with them?
>apparently Clash is the most Pally build>needs a lot of shit to keep Fortress up almost all the timeI'm tired boss....
>>2501474i tempered and masterworked and socketed and cubed my gear and i was able to unlock and consistently clear t10 purely off intuitioni never really played these kinds of games before; i just rerolled affixes so that i had main stat, armor, max life, and my main damage stats or all-ele resusing prisms means i could target shit directlyi didnt even use any uniques because i didnt know where to get the ones for my specific buildi think my paragon board is severely unoptimized as wellif my dumb ass can do it, so can you
>>2502278Relax, I'm basically on day 3 of playing post-campaign.
>>2502355i mean thats all u gotta do, just find the stats you want for your build and get them on your gear
>>2490085Bro you should have masterworked your weapon beforehand. Now you cant masterwork it anymore because of terrible fucking game design. Transfiguring is the final step to your item. Your gem strength could have been 250-300 since it scales with masterworking. Goodluck bro
>>2500603how do i craft this?
why is every build >orbs of death spin around you
I just got this, I heard its pretty good. I play PenShot Rogue so not sure how useful it will be. Is there anything I should do to this before I transfigure it?
i have fun watching my build come online but once you have everything, what else is there left to do? just chase absurdly rare GA? and grind gem fragmentend game falls flat for me
>>2503394masterwork
>>2503459I did it to crit strike damage. Should I get something else?
>>2503439>just chase absurdly rare GA? and grind gem fragmentFor gearing, yes.For goals, you either try to finish the end season milestones or clear pit 150. Both are rather nebulous and don't mean anything.>end game falls flat for meSame. Sometimes I think Torment 10 or so should open up the option to replay the campaign and try to finish it on a much harder difficulty just to have a bigger sense of finality. But then there's the argument of "well Echo of Mephisto is right there if you want to fight him again." I hate to just compare it to WoW but I feel at least with WoW your "endgame" is way more clearly defined and goes to much greater lengths to give you something to gawk at for whatever your achievements that phase were.
>>2503027just play necro bro, it's fun
>>2503459What do you mean masterwork?
Buy an AdGame's dead jim
>>2503439D3 had leaderboards to chase but it isn't satisfying in D4 for whatever reason.
>>2503439That's pretty much how I feel now too.It was hella fun making major progress every 15 minutes.Once you start hitting the ceiling of your builds and nothings happening until you get some insane rare drop it's like.....eh I'm debating if I wanna make a second character to put some of this other gear to use but what am I gonna do? Just run the same stuff? Probably not
I'm at the point in my build where I just have to try and get a better roll on my currents items, and pray for GOOD talismans and the little middle piece for talismans to dropIt keeps giving me dogshit talismans and I want to kill somebody because of it.
>>2503926Hardcore
>>2504366i dont know, i like to multi task sometimesis warlock fun? i need a char to dump some of these farmed up shit on
Finally beat Lord of Hatred yesterday, this shit fucks.Surprised how well this shit plays on controller.
Slapped this thing on and got into Torment X. I think I'm ready for something new now.
easiest build to beat (and to build) echo of mephisto before season end?
>>2504745im using this on my rogue as a charm. its pretty good and pretty rough.i got the rogue imprint that autoheals me to full while in stealth and since im in stealth all the time it just caps me up. without my autoheal, i probably wouldnt be using this unique
I want to make a druid now....
>>2503919i think the d3 leaderboards were a little more fun because they were separated by the set armors. in d4, the entire 1,000 list is full of people all doing the same thing. but other interesting builds aren't ranked against each other, even if they aren't quite as fast.
a mythic seal FINALLY dropped for me: paragon 176 and from a world boss of all places. the only things left are run 3 more NMD and craft a flawless horadric gem (i'm close), and then i'll be 100%
