    @xThemadpoet Před 3 měsíci +10

    Helltides being available from level 1 feels good - although I have to admit once I took the boost (to start a new char and skip the campaign) the best thing was having all the map renown stuff out of the way to let me play the game instead of run around and redo stuff. Might just be a personal opinion but starting a new character and just 'getting into the play' without having to run around and redo stuff was about the best feeling ever. Leveling is fun - chores aren't. I'd love to see them do this going forward. The rest of it felt better - I'm optimistic and I noped out of the game before season 1 even dropped.

  • @z0ttel89
    @z0ttel89 Před 3 měsíci +5

    I was thinking about this:
    How about we encounter a unique (not remodeled) boss fight every ~50ish levels down the pit?
    They could also have unique drop pools with special items only dropped by them, similar to the bosses on the map.
    It would be so cool to have like sub-story bosses in the pit, there's a lot more potential here than just to have 1000 levels of the same dungeons.
    Not that I'm complaining, I'm having a lot of fun on the PTR, just saying that the Pit could be even better!

    • @alexcunningham9012
      @alexcunningham9012 Před 3 měsíci

      I agree sounds like a cool idea mostly. One problem with that is that if you get a unique boss on X level of the pit and he has specific drops, once you're deeper in, you don't want to be doing lower levels again to farm loot. But I think your idea of having a stage boss even every 10-20 levels would be a great addition, even if they didn't have specific loot. Just to feel like a marker of progress and to mix it up.

  • @MarbsMusic
    @MarbsMusic Před 3 měsíci +22

    Currently running a minion build, no uniques and only a few tempering upgrades and so far it's viable to 110 quite easily. Going to try a Rogue today I think or maybe a Sorc. It seems like there will be more combinations, almost the opposite of D3 as I think I ran Unhallowed Essence multishot build more seasons than not. Hopefully this actually holds true! I did brick a couple of items but didn't feel like it was the end of the world or anything as I still had other items I could temper.

      If that is their only function, they might as well just drop the mats and spare us the trip to the blacksmith for salvaging. In their current state, whites/blues/yellows simply should not drop once you reach WT4.
      That is of course a bandaid solution. A much better solution would be to change those item types to give them a purpose.

I saw trying to change an aspect on a tempered item could take a ton of yellows...so one way or the other we still need yellow mats in T4 the question is how we will get the large amounts we need for some of the crafting. Drops would be less desirable and just the mat drop would be best. :)

      Now imagine with the droprate returned to normal. Like he said there's at least 100% increased drop rate.
      Personally I feel like there should have been an upgrade system from blue to rare to legendary. Then maybe some runes(runewords) to create the final version of your weapon.
      Blues and rares already have the same amount of affixes now. Why not lean into that?
      At the end of the day, what's going to matter is what you can do with the build once you do have it 'complete'.

    @Tigerpaw4000 Před 3 měsíci

    Good overview of the bigger changes/additions to the game. I've finally had a chance to get some decent playtime in and I'll add couple more nice revisions. Nightmare dungeons are much more simplified in terms of sigil modifiers...on the ancestral sigils I've found/crafted, there's just one positive modifier (highlighted in green) and one negative modifier (and it gives the monster level as well) so this makes it much easier to not only sift through sigils but also a bit easier in terms of gameplay. One caveat is that I haven't done any sigils beyond level 51, so perhaps higher level sigils have more negative mods.
    However, I discovered an interesting incentive to run Nightmare Dungeons - goblin packs! Twice I've run into packs of 4+ goblins (they were gathered around a shrine) and it was a lot of fun chasing them down. Goblins do indeed drop boss summoning mats (and also tempering manuals I believe)...also, the end of dungeon rewards can include both tempering manuals and crafting mats, so Nightmare Dungeons seem to be a nice alternative to farming in The Pit and/or Helltide. Given that drop rates in Season 4 are likely to be reduced overall, hunting down goblin packs could be a good tactic to get more legendaries and maybe a +2 or more enhanced stat version.

    @Rhykker Regarding upgrading the base Aspects in the Codex of Power by salvaging legendary items - will this be per-character or account wide? Meaning, if I salvage a legendary with 10/10 Aspect X, that's saved to the Codex, but will other characters on my account now have that Aspect at 10/10 as well, or do other characters also need to find and salvage items with the same aspect?

    • @ferinzz
      @ferinzz Před 3 měsíci

      The reason it's becoming like D3 is because its core systems are quite similar to the previous game. Everything is dependent on weapon damage, so the only core stats anyone needs is weapon damage. You can see that with the need to scale everything into weapon % for it to be usable...
      They could have done a lot with their items. Instead the endgame itemization is trying to get +1 on the affix you want.
      Wide as a lake shallow as a puddle is still going to be an issue unless they completely redo the core formulas to make things scale in unique ways. Spell damage, damage over time, weapon attacks, minion stats. That's the criticism that people have with Diablo's systems and that even an ex D3 dev acknowledged.
      They made the systems too simple and streamlined, and D4 is repeating that.
      As for D3 itself... Oof. Where do you want to start?
      Cartoony graphics? Yeah, not a result of the system capabilities of the time. When potential players criticised them for that the devs attacked them. Fail.
      'no end game'. But D2 didn't have an endgame either, you might say. But it did. there was uber Diablo, then the path to get to the uber trio fight. It wasn't there in the beginning, but they did add that in. Something D3 never did.
      The fact they hid the ability to have multiple skills of the same type assigned behind an option?!
      The fun of these games and what makes stories for the community isn't the treadmill or the punching bag. It's getting out of the gym and fighting the heavyweight champion that only 1% of players face. While also letting others do infinite baal runs or hope for a Zod rune. Or farm keys for someone else to do the encounters.

      @@ferinzz I agree with that you say in the "thinking" part.
      I played Torchlight 1&2 and the cartoon style was trending in that years. TL IP was great because they focus in a light story with good items and bananas options. But the best part was the great value they put in my time and not in the competition again others. You really never lost in D2, or TL.
      In D3 you didn't played as you like... But post 2.0 for me was great the "stomp the demons". I did 60 or 50% of the 30+ seasons when the game went bananas. D4 is in no way "bananas mode" at the moment. Really boring for streamers, really boring to players that have little time, hard to swallow for whales, vicious circle of devs teams without energy every patch.
      The game market is huge! More than the 90s with the internet. And people can play a lot of games at the same time. And replay games from 20 years ago, too. Cartoon graphics is a no problem for me if the game take me 16 of 31 season of time.

    So, your max affixes for an item are 5. Legendaries are 3 +2. What if Rare, magic, plain could be 2+3, 1+4, and 0+5 respectively?
    You're sacrificing normal bonuses like crit chance, attack speed, and max life for a hyper-customized item for your build.
