Being able to put 5 legendary tributes in the cube and pop out a mythic one is pretty legit. FYSA.

Been having fun playing this pretty casually, I think I'm Paragon 120ish in T6 atm, I like War Plans they're a pretty neat way to reward you for varying activities so you don't get too bored, just wish there was a way to block like one activity or something but well for now I'm just doing whatever I get. Progression in the war plans trees is a bit slow imo, takes quite a while to get the points and since you can't target that much you end up with a large spread of a bit of everything which sucks a bit, but overall it's nice enough. Also it's char specific which sucks if you want to play an alt, hopefully they change that later on.


Know any good way to collect tributes? It took me to ~170 paragon just to get 5...
You can also 5 to 1 rares to legendary I'm fairly sure. Besides that no idea.

So far I think my biggest gripe about war plans is they aren't like paragon points, they don't stick around, you have to do it all over again if you roll a new character. I didn't even realize it till someone mentioned it in datmodz chat

Yeah I mentionned it, I think they'll probably change it, at the very least it should have accelerated progress on alts or something like that. If it was a few hours grind to get it wouldn't matter but it's like I don't know 20 hours to cap a tree it feels like and while I don't mind varying my stuff it does suck otherwise. I guess they didn't want to make it fully shared so you can setup trees for each individual chars(like your boss killer char can spec a certain way with Lair stuff, and your map grinder spec another way kind of thing), but making it so only points were accessible was a pain so they shipped like that? Not sure, it's a weird choice.

I don't recall ever seeing a Range stat on any skill or Aspect, like "increase AoE size". Yet, at some point last night the size of my Static Field Blizzard increased by quite a bit. Also very annoying part of Teleport is when you have it set up to drop Crackling Energy when you use it because the orbs drop about 0.5sec after you reach the end of the teleport, but you're already moving ahead, so they end up being behind you.

Since coming back at the end of S12 and going through the Vessel campaign, I hadn't bothered to unlock Mercenaries. Started up a Season Sorc the other day and decided to do that...what a game changer it is to have Subo along with you. Being able to see where all the mobs are in Helltides is SO nice. Using a bunch of Rare Charms that have +2-3 for useful skills is pretty nice, until you start wanting to use a Charm Set and all the pieces you get don't have +Skills, lol. Got a big hit of nostalgia when I saw my first Set Charm drop due that color of green. This is the first time D4 has had Set pieces like D3, right?

Out of all the Activities in the War Plans, I dislike the Infernal Horde one a lot. It needs more variety, and it is the worst offender when it comes to screen pollution since you can have such a craaaaazy amount of stuff going on at once. All the others are good. I see they've added a Beta for a different version of The Pit, called... The Tower. I guess its for the speedrunners since there is a leaderboard for it. Is there some other game mode? I heard someone in a twitch chat mention an "endless" mode, where you see how far you can get, but havent' seen anything like that yet.

If you don't like your war plans you can reroll them 3 times.

You can hold 3 rerolls but you only get one back per clear, so you can't reroll 3 times everytime, and it's still gonna be RNG and might actually be even worse. I do reroll as I got it's just sometimes it's not worth rerolling because the rest is fine but there's an infernal horde in the middle I have to path into so I have to do it. I don't like this mode too much, the options you choose all seem mostly pointless(there's a few interesting ones but a lot are just generic boring shit) and it takes too long, so if I could filter that one out it'd be nice.

I think I have rerolled every war plan I have done three times; it's always "well that one looks good but what if the next one has 3 helltides in a row."

Been busy as fuck at work. Haven't had time to REALLY play until this weekend.

Think I'm paragon 97 now? Anyway.

Paladin...something is off. Either it's lag, or they REALLY toned down wing strikes. I used to walk the Helltides, and things just died. Now I have to wait a bit, and things....just die. I chalk it up to lag because I have never died this much in all Diablo's COMBINED than I have this season.

I have have not leveled a single glyph, just going straight for the damage nodes. Because HOLY FUCK they are powerful.

I have not fucked with the cube. Just been leveling. I am going to assume there is shit I should not be putting in the cube, because it's going to be valuable later. That's always my luck. Will wait for you guys to tell me, or look at a cube how to video.

On T2, and still not enough legendary drops to fully up my gear. Hell, I can barely but gem slots! I assume T4+ this will change.

The story was OK actually. The part where you're falling through the void and a big ass Mephisto shows quickly through the dark was pretty cool.

Overall I'm having a good time.

I really didn't like D4 at launch. Did the campaign and basically never played again, but I'm kinda itching for something mindless to play occasionally.

Anyone in the same boat that can comment on how much the game has improved?

Secondary question - anyone run it on the steam deck? Heard it runs really well, so just curious how true that is with the new expac.

I dnt like it at all at launch. It now has a good game play loop for the endgame so I would recommend grabbing the expansions and firing it up.

I was waiting for a Brahma post with the skin purchase. :p

But that Paladin WoW skin really hits the nostalgia and purchase nerve. I know I won't play for more than a week but I really am tempted buying that skin. The FOMO that it will go away forever isn't helping. They know what they are doing milking money from fans.

Runs great on deck, with occasional fps drops but I play in bed late at night. I got an auradin build going now up to t8, starting to hit a wall, definitely not as strong as last season and a little more involved but doable. Going from rogue hitting 100billion crits to pally barely hitting 50million doesnt feel great.

Game is in a much better state than launch, still basically mindless autistic entertainment but with a lot more to do. It’s fun enough that I’m almost 70 on my 4th seasonal toon and pushing 200 paragon. Not perfect but the loop is satisfying
