Did the Arbiter of Divinity quest boss a few days ago, actually before my 4th ascendancy, and have been trying to get to all the questline POIs. But I still only have hilda with a single row of options.

How do I find the great beast map I'm supposed to do to improve her buffs? And what do I need to do for the next master option?

Search the map. Keyword beast i think. Or hunt.

Another master spawns after you do a corrupt map. The third is after clearing a "sealed" map node

There are special beast icons over maps. When you kill one beast, she shows you where the next is.

What am I missing here?

That's the only spots it will let me place path nodes. Pretty damn hard to reach royal access, architect, and Atziri when you can only expand the map with rooms that upgrade each other.

That sounds buggy. Unless all you have is L intersections
Nah, it was 2 T's and an L that should have all been able to connect to the + at the top.

Been encountering quite a few bugs since the patch. Like that stupid change they made to delirium:

Delirium Shards on the Bar now spawn when you get to the correct depth, as opposed to slightly earlier. They also now placed better when spawning to be less likely to be directly on the players location.

Pretty sure "placed better" doesn't mean "often placed nowhere near the player, including occasionally not even on the map at all". I don't care much about the green ones, but when I lose 3 gold mirrors in an hour because of it I start to get mad. Just drop the fucking things on top of me, why was that even an issue?

So I started playing part 2 yesterday, and was having fun. Such a night and Day difference compared to the first game. Everything was running completely fine. I jumped on a minute ago to play some more, and now my graphics are all stuttering and wonky. Had no issues with everything maximized yesterday.

Is it the server or is it just something with the engine? It's just really bizarre, but any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Press i think F1 by default to get performance metrics. See if its latency or shaders. Their servers can be total ass during prime time but if it's not that you can try switching renderer and see if vulkan might work better for you.

Shaders compiling maybe? If you press F1 you can bring up the stats stuff, if your shaders bar is full with a high number, your CPU is going to get used hard and will cause issues. The game will usually compile shaders every new region during loadings and stuff so it's not so bad but if you switch your rendering between DX12 or Vulkan or if you update your graphics drivers, it'll have to redo all the old shaders and then it gets shitty. Leave it running for a bit and it should fix itself?

Figured it out, it was stupid discord overlay, which is weird because I guess I had it on last night playing with my buddies, and everything was perfectly fine then. Don't know what changed. I did go delete I guess the shader folder and was recompiling it and verified all my files. I guess the shader compiling will finish it for a bit, but at least my FPS isn't toast.

It was just truly odd considering I was so impressed with how smooth it was running yesterday and how great the game looks. I'm digging it though, really feels like Diablo 2, especially the first cemetery area and the music and what have you.

Got my Extra Crit Monkey finally, Corpse Explosion and Armor Break as the 2nd and 3rd mod.

His DPS pretty much doubled, and he smashed shit even before.

Guess they're gonna have to change delirium again cause streamers figured the portals always spawn close to you now, so what you can do on maps with delirium is skip the mirror at the start, just do your map, then once you find the boss checkpoint, go back to the entrance, spawn the mirror, wait for the bar to fill up past the last crystal thingie then checkpoint back to the boss and every single portal spawns on top of you at the boss, so you can just clear all of it at once. I don't know if it's much better than clearing normally but at least you don't have to constantly look for the portals. Between that and having to nerf temple over and over everytime someone finds how to snake it again, it seems it never ends with fixing unintended ways to do the league mechanics.

I mean isnt part of the delerium bonus that all of the map gets juiced by it? Whats the point of doing it all at the end when the map is cleared? To get liquids? Double annoint amulet that 99% is worthless?

Ive been doin g the CuteDoog deli strat on all the shit maps that you have to run to get to POIs. I dont think its an exploit, you miss all the juiced mobs but you do get a few liquids and a deli boss sometimes. Its not raining tons of extra loot. Sometimes you can get buttfucked by it if a deli boss,map boss, and all the other hard hitting mobs from the crystals all spawn at the same time in the boss arena. Especially if its in a tight space.
