Diablo IV (Page 6 of 42)
|
Started Sunday. I have a level 29 Druid. I am meh at playing and am quite fond of just standing in stuff and not avoiding the avoidable. I seriously doubt my build is good but am currently running: Storm strike for the vulnerable effect Pulverize Wolves Crows Tornado Switched to crows and tornado last night after trying Maul and earth spike. I also just unlocked the druid spirit thing LOL. No clue what it's called but its from the Druiidic offerings. |

| Stay in WT1 until act 5. Act 5 is going to be your DPS check for WT3. If you are having issues in WT 1 or 2 in the late 40s, you are not going to make it in WT3 and you are really not going to like WT4. What’s your build? You will probably need to respec. Around that level is when I respeced into ice shards because the other builds started falling off in dps |

Some fights just work or don't work depending on your class. Some bosses at WT2 I could've just done while half paying attention. |
Fastest solo dungeon farm method currently: basically you have to activate a nightmare dungeon, enter it and kill some stuff, then leave and go to the dungeon of your choice for farming. Once you clear the farm dungeon, simply teleport to town then click the teleport to go back to the dungeon, and it will be reset  Definitely going to get patched out soon.  Failed To Load Title |

I suspect a sorcerer or other ranged character could get away with killing her. She would stack on top of those pools and there was no way for me to damage her without taking damage. I ran everything from the beginning of Act 5 until that fight at WT2. |

Developer livestream going on right now on YouTube and Twitch. Will update this when/if there's anything of value from it. Update 1: they're buffing nightmare dungeons like crazy. Also adding a fast-travel portal when you use a sigil. They want nightmare dungeons to be the best source of xp and loot. Update 2: blighted corpse crap on the ground affecting your view is a bug and will be fixed soon. Update 3: sounds like they're changing their mind about having to redo renown stuff for alts and seasons. You won't have to reveal the map again and will be given all the renown for it automatically upon season start (and for non-season alts). Same for altars (but we knew that already). Quests will still restart at the moment and we will have to redo them in season 1. |
|
Update 4: in the future (season 2 maybe) they're moving gems out of the inventory and giving them their own materials type tab. Update 5: they're removing caps on most materials. Right now there's a cap of like 10k on a bunch like veiled crystals. |

Update 6: resistances are not working in a way that the dev's want them to. They're going to make resistance more important in a future update. Update 7: seasons will be when new content gets added to the game. Not just new stuff, but quality of life updates and major fixes too. Season 1 is done, so any new stuff they haven't thought of or are working on will be in the fall or later. Seasons are also literally quarterly seasons: summer, fall, winter, spring. Update 8: hardcore characters get a chance for special scrolls to drop, that are basically emergency teleport buttons that take you to safety. They will also be integrated into a system that will automatically activate if the server detects that you have been disconnected. Update 9: world boss gear cache's are not going to be level locked anymore, however you can still get gear inside them that's too high to use yet. |
|
Update 10: item power level is what everyone needs to focus on, not the actual item level (or required level). Mostly higher level items will be a higher power level too, but it's a loose correlation and definitely not always the case. Update 11: confirmed bug for druid loot not dropping. Hotfix inbound soon. Update 12: new social features are a big focus but won't be coming soon. They want LFG stuff and such to be implemented. |

oki might have figured something out about the locking up at a doorway. got home and had reset to talking to lorath for entry to the temple of primes. after several lock ups i went to the door and opened the door but didnt try to zone in. i tried to portal to town and locked up. reloaded and when i made it back to the door it was lit up and i could enter beat that cunt first try on wt1. |
| Had Insatiable Fury armor drop which was really nice. Have an amazing roll on a two handed weapon that increases my attack by 1000 pts, but have yet to find another weapon with the Shockwave aspect to break down. Druid problems . |

I'm level 60 on my WW barb. Still using a lvl 40 2HB as a stat stick, as nothing can top it. Barbs have 4 weapon slots. 3 of those are just for stats. |

Just an FYI, Fate Against Fury quest is bugged. Preventing you from doing some quests in the Dry Steppes. I finally found a fix that works. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/fury-against-fate-side-quest-bug/25546/148 I currently have 24/25 of the reward tiers unlocked. Hoping to finish it off tonight. Then, to start my druid. |

You can program them into the emote wheel like potions. Unlocks at lvl20 After my hardcore sorcerer died at ~lvl40, i start trying Rogue. 3 deaths later I finally got one above level 20 and it's starting to shine. Cool class. Very fast and aggressive, but don't get hit. Takes damage easily. |

To be fair that whole video from blizzard was them saving face. CC still needs to be addressed as well as other things. There is a lot of ppl not happy with the current state of the game but I get it, it's still new and fresh. I think a lot of it is because we came from D3 and had seasons. To sum up BUFF - NM dungeons give more experience , meant to be more efficient for leveling and more replayable. BUFF - sigils teleport player to NM dungeon. works on consecutive NM dungeons (can teleport to next dungeon from the end of current dungeon) Claim: Both will be buffed before Season 1 Claim: Season 1 to release mid-late July Notable bug fix: Blighted corpse cloud is a bug, getting fixed Season 1 changes: Fog of War from “eternal realm” (non-seasonal) carries into seasons. If you uncover the entire map once, it’s always uncovered. This also applies to the renown given from discovering areas. You start with more renown at the start of the season because of this. Stats from statues of Lilith confirmed to be permanent. Rediscovering statues of Lilith still gives renown. Gems: Moved to your materials tab, no longer in your inventory or stash. Material caps increased. Resistances: Resistances currently not as valuable as devs want them to be, talks of tweaking resistances to change. Possible change around season 2. Seasons: Focus is on content for seasons, not just big fixes and balance changes. Hardcore: Disconnect protection. Scroll of Escape is automatically consumed if player disconnects. (Implementation TBD) Caches: Bug where higher level caches are dropping and player can’t open them. Devs will fix so you can open it, gear might be above player level. Bug: Barbarian Uniques are dropping too often for Druids. Fixed before season 1 Social features: (group finder/dungeon finder) in the works, no ETA. Lag from Cross-play is being worked on. Q&A Q. Do devs plan to buff resource generation? A. Vague yes, but they aren’t going to invalidate the need to generate resources. Q. Monster density improvements? A. Devs considering but that impacts exp from monsters and leveling speed. Q. Continuing quarterly updates? A. Short answer: Yes. Q. More options to change character’s appearance? A. Might improve/give more options over time. No ETA, low priority Q. Completed side quest tab? A. Eventually, vague mention at it being a future feature Q. Search functions in stash? A. Eventually, QOL features to roll out in seasons Q. Renown rewards kept per season? A. No, must fill renown again to get renown rewards (obols, skill points, paragon). (statues of Lilith give renown, but stats from statues of Lilith are permanent.) |

I finally got my shockwave weapon to drop. What an improvement in quality. Mobs just vanish in front of me. I look at the Reddit sub and a lot of druids are complaining they’ve never seen it drop. It’s worth noting that you can’t get it from a dungeon so you have to farm it. It’s also a must have aspect for the pulverize build. I’ve got one that increases damage based on fortify and I’m also running the legendary that creates the earth spikes and the aspect that makes barrier last for 3 more seconds. I’m starting to feel bad about all the health pots I leave on the ground. Now WT2 plays like WT1. I’m going to do my capstone tomorrow and then push up to WT3 if it goes easily. |

Open world chests, mobs, treasure goblin… The one I get constantly is the “your werebear skills are now werewolf skills…”. I DON’T WANT YOU Legendary!!! At least I am getting mats. My cursory playing leads me to believe that the Tree of Whispers is the quickest way to farm gear. In about an hour I went from only having a handful of legendaries to being in a position where I’m fully kitted. Bonus is that you run into other people farming favors so it makes it go quicker. |
