Crafting is nice, endlessly playing slots isn't and these retards at blizzard want to double down on that.
Although I'm starting to wonder if they'll actually go through with it. I think I've only seen about two bits of media with anything positive to say about the PTR and the rest has been overwhelming negative. Either way we should know in about 2 weeks how over it is.
>>
what are they doing with this game, bros????
they diluted the affix pool with more faggot resists. who the fuck is building physical resistance??? fucking retarded
80% of every class tree skill-lines are just dead. flay, rupture??? completely dead skills. 0 barb builds are using any of the ultimates cuz ultimates are utter garbage and have been forever, unless your class gets some bullshit mega cooldown-reduction.

i would really like blizzard to put out how they think a class should be actually played.

Next season is themed around Death so it's all very fitting
>>
>>2604439
interesting guess I will try to remember it happening. also fuck twitch drops
>>
>>2604439
Thanks bruv, I suppose. All those forced unique changes, their general dislike for making more viable builds (that's a lot of devs' sin tbqh) pretty much killed my interest in the upcoming season. They truly lack the brain matter if they thought S14 in its state will keep most people playing. Truly astonishing.
>>
>>2604439
Is anyone even gonna watch this thing? I'm genuinely curious, people are so despondent after PTS it'd take an act of God to bring players around.
>>
>>2619191
yeah i'll watch the thing and play the season out...
and get the battlepass too if those wings are in it
>>
So season 14 is looking like a bust if mythics are all going to have random stats like uniques.
>>
>>2620755
mythics drop like candy in the undercity and elsewhere on t12. i was crushing so many last season besides all the extras that i was tossing in cube for RNG curiosity's sake. i'm sure it won't be as bad as everyone is making it out to be. and let's see what the devs say on thurs.
i 'member the mechanical bug companion season... sometimes it's the seemingly worst seasons that end up being one of the most fun!
>>
>>2622378
I just hate that Blizzard's design philosophy is to make numbers random on old shit instead of introducing new chase mythics.
>>
>>2625195
Same. I want the cube to be the way to refine an item that's 80% of the way to being BIS even if it takes a shitload of resources to fix it rather than the shotgun approach of rerolling mass amounts of shit until you win at slots. Degenerate gambling can have a place, but it needs to cap out in usefulness to exist as a way for someone to get a quick powerspike that let's them push higher torment levels during the grind from T1-T10 rather than what their focus should be from T11 onwards.

The cube should occasionally be used to craft items on seldom-found exceptional bases or get a random transfiguration on your amulet. Or other rare instances. Instead, you spend way too much time dumping trash into it while standing in town.

This game doesn't have premium stash tabs with affinities, like PoE 1/2, so stash-managing all the bullshit you use in the cube can become a pain in the ass.

Newbs who are fresh to the genre aren't introduced to the cube until endgame, at which point they have to parse a menu with a bunch of options that aren't necessarily intuitive to them. Compare this to games such as Last Epoch, PoE, or Grim Dawn, which introduce players to beginner crafting early in the campaign, and then they progressively gain access to more powerful and/or more complex crafting methods over time.

Crafting should have rare, powerful mats that give you more agency over outcomes, instead of simply spamming mass bullshit and hoping for rng to be in your favor.

The cube and cube crafting are designed poorly, in nearly every way imaginable. Reddit doesn't hate it enough.

According to recent leaks we can expect an Arthas-themed ARPG in about 3 years.
Not sure how to feel about that. I expect D4 to get 1 more expansion, but a second would line up with this thing's release wouldn't it? I doubt they would want to actively develop two ARPGs which would compete for players like that.
Unless..... TWO GAMES, ONE CAMPAIGN!
>>
>>2658224
Isometric ARPG is a subgenre alone is enough to differ from an ARPG in a sense of God of War, DMC, etc.

There's also a rumor they're trying TPS again for SC. So basically, MS are forcing Blizz to revive dead IPs in a new genre away from RTS or get axed like the rest.

>MS are forcing Blizz to revive dead IPs in a new genre away from RTS or get axed like the rest.
Blizzard has been developing random spinoffs like this for well over a decade, issue is they keep killing them. I think it's moreso MS saying "stop fucking around and actually put something out, it's not like you have a reputation for high development standards anymore."
But yeah, I think you're right and we're unironically getting an Arthas soulslike. And I'm not sure how I feel about that either. At least they're not shooting D4 in the foot in that case.

Alright I know I'm retarded but can someone help me with this Seasonal Questline. The game says, "Enter the deathtoll chamber opened by a slain Realmwalker."

Sometimes when those things die a portal will open, it's not every time. I feel like the longer you can hold the first portal open the better chance you have. There is also one that spawns just southeast of the seasonal board town every few hours like world boss, that one is gauranteed.

I started the Warplan on T6. Did the the first couple tasks and then got to the point where I had to fight the butcher. He blew me the fuck out. So I went to T5 since I knew I could beat him there, beat him, and the warplan didn't complete. I went to the warplans table for more information and it said for that warplan specifically "must be Torment 6". Therefor it bricked that warplan and I started a new one.

That must be new this season cause last season you could freely change difficulty during warplans.

Give it to me straight. How bad is season 14? I am afraid to play after hearing they made all mythics have random stats and you can only equip a single crafted mythic.

the old mythics aren't really worth it any more
the new mythics are GOOD, but they are hard to find and random when you craft them.
the season is what it is. i'm not going gung-ho like i usually do and 100%ing it. i'm just going to get the battlepass things unlocked and get the second-to-last-chapter unlocked (title) and then maybe just play around for fun (?) after that. i think i just got burned out on the game last season

Tourist here, does the Thundergod's Blessing ring exist? I've been blasting t12 all day, spent probably 60+ keys and cubed every boss material I could get my hands on with no luck. what the fuck
>>
>>2676087
i've also been looking for the thundergod's blessing ring and haven't seen it once. not from any boss. not from any drop. nowhere.
it's probably bugged as per usual with this game
>>
>>2676108
rip, well I'll just finish up the last season challenge and call it then. I really hope they do something with the skill meta next time, extremely boring with the same skills being the only option for high level tower/pit pushing every single time

It's in the general unique pool, which means there isn't a specific boss to farm for it. Any boss has a chance to drop it, albeit a very small chance.
You can also try crafting white rings into uniques.

Diablo is such a fucking boring and lazy game design.

Why are there seasons?
Why are there level caps?

Why can't I be level 412 doing Torment 17 with Rank 43 primary abilities?

Blizzard has lost any credibility when it comes to being new and original and just copies off what everyone else is doing.
>>

yeah been doing that, made over 50 with no luck along with probably 25-30k in obols at the gambler. I've seen all those other ones multiple times at this point but no thundergods which prompted me to ask

Life on hit hasn't worked properly for a few seasons at least. Honestly no clue how its working right now. A good portion of the time it's clearly not giving me any life but then sometimes I'll just heal up so I really have no idea. The game is really starting to fall apart at the seams, I've never seen it in such a buggy state. I think the blizzard higher ups took the vibe coding memes as gospel and probably have 3 jeets and an AI running the whole thing.

quick question. I picked ssf mode but whenever I am on my world map I still see people from time to time, they can even interact with my monster. I heard the same applies to world events. Is there a way to activate real ssf? maybe I missed something because this isnt ssf.
>>
>>2682100
No, you'll still see people in the world. Just can't be in groups or trade.
>>
>>2682105
but this isnt real ssf? it pretty much feels the same as regular mode because I never "traded" to begin with. whats the purpose of this mode?
>>
>>2682106
Technically the tower because people can't do RMT. Other than that poor excuse for a leaderboard it's just marketing.
>>
>>2682108
while we are at it whats up with the season "mechanic"? is it just more monster for helltides and thats it? isnt this supposed their first proper season for their big main expansion? idgi.

Started this season with Paladin and it feels really underwhelming. Have tried a couple different build guides but literally everything is either staying in Arbiter form or stacking up Auras to survive everything, but also take 20 years to kill anything. Am I just playing the class wrong or is it really this boring? Is there a build that can dish out tons of damage without relying on Arbiter? That shit is so boring to me.

Blizzard got spooked because they made spiritborn too strong so they reacted by making sure every new class is dogshit out the gate. It's not you paladins are just bad. Pick another class if you don't want to ride pine.

>Am I just playing the class wrong?
You're playing the wrong class. Any class that isn't barb or sometimes rogue is allergic to high tier performance. No, Blizzard doesn't give a fuck.
>>

There's no point in playing SSF unless you're a leaderboard tranny. The regular mode is already SSF because the game is designed to be as anti-social as possible.

Okay thanks all. Did find a build on Maxroll that seemed a bit different and fun but if that doesn't scratch that itch for me I'll probably just start over with something else. Haven't done Rogue since like Season 4 so maybe that'll be a nice change of pace. Seems like they're pretty good atm.

In any other genre that would be a fair point but this is a diablolike so "endgame content" might as well be a SHUMP with the amount of 1-hit swirlies spawning under you ever other frame. At least the wowfags were able to push back on their devs for this but so long as people love becoming moving damage totems to push it's going to stay like this forever. Which also wouldn't be AS bad if they didn't simultaneously release shit like the warlock which needs to stop and do a lengthy animation for 90% of his spells.

T10 farming aspects and trying to get the right unique charm

Ice Spikes Blizzard btw
>>
I have no idea what to do with my build and this 1 mythic limit. I feel stuck at T10. I can do T11 damage wise but I don't have the toughness for it. I have a crafted melted heart of selig and that's it but I don't think I should rock JUST selig. I get where they were coming from with mythics dropping like candy last season but they don't drop at all this season. I have seen 2 mythic drops and they were seasonal mythic uniques (crown of lucion). This shit sucks.

bossing is the key for mythics

Except for when you blow all your keys and only get 1 cause the drop rate is low even on t12

I bought Diablo 4 at launch with a gift card I got from my ISP. I then only proceeded to play it for one season like a year after launch. It was fun I guess. That character is now an Eternal. I still haven't played the story more than an hour.
I still don't entirely get or necessarily like the seasonal/eternal format, like what the fuck...
Anyway I don't have any DLC for Diablo 4 and I have 60 dollars to my name which I'd rather spend on beer or a weed cart but if I do either of those things and break sobriety I'll be evicted.
I reinstalled it (all 90 gigs) because of FOMO over the OW kitsune beast companion only to realize there's fucking 69 days left for both it and the season.
I don't necessarily want to buy the DLC, I have no interest in Paladin or whatever else they added... I like Sorc and wanna use a Necro most of all (apparently Necro sucks?)

I'm not sure how to proceed.

To be fair it was around S4 or something where they announced on a dev stream that they do not see the player count returning to the game for their mid-season patch updates. So they decided to leave it as-is for the most part. You could call them lazy or Microsoft is merely not seeing the resource management profitable wasting time "fixing" a season when the players don't even come back for it.

Are you guys switching your build when good shit drops or scrapping it because you already decided on a different one? I have a fucking chest full of uniques for other builds i dont even want to use scared the mythic that enables the build drops.

i craft a thing every once in a while when i see that i've accumulated the mats. but i haven't gotten a single useful thing that way or dropped, so.
the nice thing is that the build still functions without the thing being a mythic. but it'd be a sweet damage boost for sure.

Thanks my man. I really appreciate it the pointers. I truly thought I was going mad because new content is usually laid out nicely.
>the entire season is retarded.
I can't begin to understand the thought process someone went through that led to green-lighting this season (mythics 3.0 included). What a caricature of a company....
>>
>>2709530
desu I was lucky and got the one mythic that my build required but even without that issue the game already feels blend. I really enjoyed the new warplans thingy at first but now in the 2nd season I am already bored of it. Its basically the same mechanic with a reward for chaining them. Most people already did their own sort of warplaner because certain things only drop in certain mechanics. Its been 4-5 years since the game launched and we basically still only do helltides, nightmare dungeons and pit. I have no hope for the future of the game.

lil bro what the fuck are you talking about? not gonna lie I dont even want to engage with you here. I asked about the damage mitigation formular now about what to do. I literally went into detail on how it works for me and how I got rid of all my life rolls JUST to avoid this very conversion here.

make sure you have at least one Superior Lair Key to open the chest from the boss kill, blizzard are retarded and give you the quest before most people had a key drop

With how bad this season is in comparison to the last but especially on its own, I'm beginning to think Blizz don't like to be lauded for anything. Last season was barebones because it had no theme and it was still enjoyable. And better than this turd. Why did they change itemization so much? Why did we need to have RNGx1000000 on every item, including mythics? Why are there restrictions on number of equipable mythics? So many wierd "design" choices and so many things changed at once. I can't put my finger on what's wrong with devs.

Are they so messed up in the head to prefer being at odds with their players at all times? What a weird bunch.
>>
>>2712775
Mythic 3.0 is for this season only.
>last season was barebones
It was like that for S6 when it released with VoH.
>>
>>2712814
A bit ironic how the added season content is worse than the barebones game.

So they treat every season as WoD then and pre-emptively drop it the moment it flops to work on the next one? Excelllleeennnnntt. My favorite Blizzard dev philosophy.
>>2709102
>"When taking damage, 75% is drained as 2 primary resource for every 1% of Maximum Life you would have lost."
So the math works out like this
>Selig "procs" when you WOULD take damage for every 1% of your maximum life
>the higher number your maximum life is the higher number that 1% ends up being
>this results in it proccing less
>endgame builds are specced to always max energy regen anyways so damage NOT being drained from primary resource is increasingly inefficient
>also the meta says life on hit is gay so this is better
The description doesn't make much sense in a vacuum why it's godlike, kinda like shit in classic wow, but when all the dumb systems are working in tandem then it makes sense.
>>2712775
This is Blizzard so when this flops they will le pull the ripcord and nerf warplans so everyone claps.
I'm just hoping next season actually has some balance changes beyond barb buffs. Or they remember people like fun things to happen to gear and do something with that. It's an easy thing to forget when you have to keep rehiring new people.
>>2712970
But we're always complaining. There wasn't as much with LoH because there we a lot of good things, yet like a good car you can crash them if you play around with them while drunk or retarded.
In the meantime I'm getting my grindan fix in Palworld.
>>
>>2713024
the explanation still doesnt make any sense. why would taking 100000 damage with only 565 life mitigate more than taking the same damage but with 10000 life. if anything taking the fixed 100000 damage with only 565 would logically translate to something like 80k resource cost since you lost your life 200 times over but it doesnt. there is some hidden damage formular behind all this that is never mentioned anywhere.
>>
>>2713033
>the explanation still doesnt make any sense. why would taking 100000 damage with only 565 life mitigate more than taking the same damage but with 10000 life.
Because that 1 bajillion damage hit the mob normally gets reduced by all your resistances AND other misc -% mitigation, the biggest misc one being Endurant Faith. Because you're reducing the hit by like 99.whatever% these calculations are actually worth splitting hairs to maximize Selig proc uptime.
>>
>>2713047
I specifically havent mentioned endurant faith because the mitigation part with less life works without ef.
>>
>>2713049
Yeah but it doesn't work optimally. Like, we're both talking in a T12 context right?
>>
>>2713055
we might be not on the same page here. like for example the first time I used the amulet I had a test set of gear with life rolls here and there, ended up having 10k life no endurant faith. was close to dying every other pit. rerolled every life roll away from the same set of gear (same res rolls, same armor rolls) just got rid of the life even resources stayed the same and the character was 10x tankier all of a sudden. thats a weird and fucked up interaction. nowhere is it mentioned on the item that its supposed to be like that and even logically it would make sense that have life rolls since losing less % per hit would mean less costs on your resources but its literally the other way around like the game is scaling monster damage based on your total life like it does with monster difficulty. there is something in the background that works like that and I am trying to understand what it is.
>>
weakest 'season'
>>
>>2713059
>we might be not on the same page here.
Same, but to be fair I can't even begin to calculate these things and check your work unless you want to post all of your gear, your spec, etc. It's a math problem but I can only say so much when I can't even see the algebra.
The other bit of bad news is apparently all the D4 sim resources are shit compared to wow so none of them can demonstrate how this interaction actually plays out.
If it helps, looking into things further I realized my explanation was a bit shit so hopefully this helps: tl;dr the way it actually works is when you're at 500hp and below selig just always procs and your resource then becomes your shield with 100% uptime. When you're running around with 10k health, it's barely proccing outside of hits from bosses.
Also it turns out you're not crazy and there is an unexplained background mechanic, which is the server-side handling of dot damage. In short, it's spacing out damage over 240 ticks and when you get closer to 500HP Selig is able to proc much more there in particular, and drains your resource at fractions rather than whole numbers, and no none of this is explained anywhere in game. And when I say "dot" I mean literally any kind of dot, even just shit pools on the ground which is 90% of fucking damage these days.
>>
>>2713121
tbf I am done with the season anyway. the major problem here is not really the stupid mechanic but how you cant properly get these mythics in the first place. its been 4 years and they are still trying to fine tune basic things. what the fuck are they doing at this point.
>>
>>2712970
POE2 runs like fucking shit. Worse than it did at launch. And is like 160 gigabytes now. Like, the game I could get to run middling at launch, I can't now. And the same game, which I could get to run flawlessly with clever use of something like Optiscaler? I can't because they will ban me.

>>
>>2715897
it's pokemon with guns! better than pokemon in every way.
if you enjoy base building, monster collecting, boss fights with a linear story where you have to level up along the way, then you'd enjoy this. you enslave the pokemon (sorry... "pals") to do the crafting and farming for you, so you don't have to bother doing any of that yourself at all. it's very fun and has some exciting moments. and there's fishing, which gives you some extra special pals. you can also sleep with your pals in the barn, if you're into that.
they also did a terraria crossover, if you played that at all, you'd appreciate. you can wield a meowmere and terrablade etc.
i've dumped so many hours into palworld this weekend. and tomorrow i'm going to make a greenhouse on a farm base --i'm very excited.
yeah i'm pretty done with d4 for the season. maybe hop on before season ends to unlock my last reliquary, but that's it.

I really hate how loot works now. You get a 1 Greater blue drop then you gotta fuck with the roulette cube and hope for a decent item. I also hate how ancestral without greater affixes can drop. They are all basically useless. I feel like at torment 12 they should change all ancestral drops to only drop with at least 1 greater affix.

Any updates on my streamers on the state of diablow? Thinking about playing my hcssf but I just GOT to know what others think to validate myself.
>>
>>2715897
It's a crafting survival game but you try to automate the crafting as much as possible and focus on fights out in the world for recipes, rare materials, and more slaves. It has a shit load of settings so it's more about finding which server fits your autistic needs. Biggest issue imo right now is the AI, it's nothing unplayable for player/pal on pal combat (which is 80% of the game) but human enemies are somehow among the worst I've ever played against. You'll have more engaging fights with randomly spawned combine NPCs in gmod than one of their forts. This is particularly annoying because the fights vs humans is actually a nice novelty but it's executed pretty badly...
...Almost as badly as the Season 14 mechanic in the hit ARPG Diablo 4 as discussed by myself and others in /d4g/ - The Diablo 4 General!

But I'm such a shitty millennial 9-5 chud who only has 30-45min before bed that playing D4 and 1 war plan is all I can do without thinking too much. I'm not saying war plan needs to get to the point it shits out mythics but it doesn't adequately scale once you reach P250+.

Seems to be a common theme with Diablo 4. You get to a certain point and that's it. There is no way to scale the loot further. Not that there is any content that requires it. Oh well.

you might want to take a look at the world settings on the main screen to adjust your world. like i'm not all about replacing my axe every second ore that i hack, so i removed the tool deterioration completely. it's the little adjustments that make the game fun and not a chore to play. crank up the capture rate so you aren't wasting a million balls, etc. just make it fun!
idk what kind of adjustments you can personally make to d4 to make it fun tho...
>>
>>2721820
Palworld cosmetics would unironically fit better than Overwatch. Imagine a rugged leather set made from Relaxaurus for barb, like the cata murloc set for hunters but not terrible looking.
>>
>>2723587
>dk what kind of adjustments you can personally make to d4 to make it fun tho...
1. Undo everything from s14
2. Add in "mythic Mephisto semen" you have to grind and craft to make.
3. MMS can be used with an ancestral unique to upgrade it into a mythic version (keeps all GAs and stats)
4. Limit 2 or 3 mythics can be equipped at a time.
5. Add Diablo into Diablo 4.
There, fixed.
>>
I know it's probably a moronic question but are those new mythics a perma change or this season's ultra retarded "theme"?
>>
>>2724922
There are no moronic questions, only moronic decisions (made by Blizzard).
As for your question it's a matter of how badly the Diablo team wants to stick to their Id Software LARP. Hopefully with Id Software results if they keep it up.
>>
>>2724922
I guess they are meant to stay or that was the intent but after less than cold reception they might backpedal on it. Maybe.
Also, macrobioboi did a very nice breakdown of the new mythic "rework" after the patch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM3mhrU0snA
Maybe there was somebody else with similar conclusions but it popped on my feed. And I think it just goes to show that devs lost their collective minds introducing this revolution thinking it'd be some second coming

I think I still need to be a good goy and get the overwatch dye in the event they ever release a janitor outfit.
Other than that I'm done unless they release a proper apology patch to turn this dead season into something funserver-tier, which I doubt they would ever do.
