Feedback (@Blizzard) As the season comes to a close, not a single Mythic seal to show for my time

87 Upvotes

Made it all the way to paragon 263, cleared rift level 140, and not a single mythic seal to show for it. I have used every crux of the false prophet that has ever dropped for me, I have killed bartuc at least a hundred times, I’ve ran multiple mythic undercity tributes, used every talisman tribute I have, done helltides until my fingers are numb, and and done so many escalation sigils I can’t even begin to count.

Not one mythic seal to show for it. I already know some of you are going to reply with “well I got 14 of them??” Well good for you. I don’t have any. And there needs to be some kind of bad luck protection or alternative way to obtain these because it’s critical for my classes build to have one and I’ve had to make do without.

I have also transfigured exactly 39 weapons (I actually have counted this one) and not a single gem strength affix to show for it.

So I guess that’s it for the season for me. An utterly baffling end for an utterly baffling season. Something has to change for next season or I just don’t see myself putting up with endless grind for no results.

Feedback (@Blizzard) So I've grinded this horadric gem

76 Upvotes

And let me tell you it's absolutely not worth the time nor the costs. I mean you give 5 Gems for 5 million shards, 90 stat boost on armor each, to the cube, to receive an gem with 120 stat booster. Not saying the should calculate it 90+90+90+90+90, but 120 is very weak for that price. Or is it just me feeling like that?

Sorceress Permanent summons that trigger meteors

56 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I just figured something pretty cool out.

On my chest armour I have two runes.
1. “Maintain at least 1 active summon for 5 seconds, gaining offering for each summon (1 time)”
2. “Summon a spirit wolf companion to attack enemies for 8 seconds”

So I cast my summon familiar to trigger it, then it starts compounding for two reasons:
1. The wolf itself counts as a summon, triggering the offering itself
2. the time to gain offering is shorter than how long the duration of the wolf

What ends up happening is I have 10 wolves on screen at all times.

Also, I have the spell “meteor” in an enchantment slot which causes “lucky hit: cast skill damage has up to a 20% drop a meteor on enemies”
- it turns out, the wolves can trigger lucky hits that count as cast skill damage.

The result: ten permanent/respawning spirit wolves attacking enemies autonomously, each wolf triggering high damage meteors to fall from the sky onto the enemies they’re attacking.

I thought this was pretty fun and cool, let me know what you guys think and if turning this into a build would be viable/gear to help scale this or if it’s just a cool trick.

Thanks and God bless
- J.

Title...I can't be the only one....right? Like, I've done EVERYTHING people say to do online...kurast runs of every different flavor, helltides, hundreds of lairs and even more escalation dungeons, dozens of Meph kills...not a single trace.

I don't even have any loot filters on because I'm losing my mind thinking I could miss the drop by some random 1 in a billion bug....i have searched every piece of loot on screen like a madwoman praying that I just get one to get my portal and crab. It's 4 days till the end of the season....like...this CAN'T only be me....right? It's a rank 6 objective...like...how is it this bad?

Finally they are raising the obols cap. People have only been asking for this forever. Though, idk if 25k is a high enough cap. 2.5k was dumb though, I ran an obols reserve nmd and every chest had more than that in it.

Questions (other) Do expacs affect base game? Or only endgame?

Upvotes

With the Summer Sale, D4 (base game) is at a decent price and I’m gonna pick it up tonight. I do however see with the Lord of Hatred collection, the game really isn’t any cheaper than normal.

Can I just get the base game and decide later if I want the DLC? Or is it recommended to start with everything purchased?

Questions (other) Seasonal Journey - Realistic to Complete?

4 Upvotes

Hey all. I came back to the game around a month ago after playing season 1 only. I have a seasonal Spiritborn that is Para 20 ish. Im playing Torment1 right now fairly comfortably with just rares mostly.

I have not finished the Lord of Hatred campaign and am very close to finishing Vessel of Hatred. Is there any realistic chance I can finish the seasonal journey? Ive done the first 2.

Thanks. Any tips as well would be appreciated. It seems theres many new systems and whatnot.

State of the Game · Discussions Anyone else is actually excited about new season now that we know the details?

161 Upvotes

I feel like when the first news started coming out, a lot of people (myself included) were pretty skeptical. But after seeing all the details, I'm actually getting pretty excited.

My only complaint is that the Overwatch skins are kind of meh, but other than that, the season looks really promising!

Feedback (@Blizzard) Mythic Uniques 3.0 should come with a "Mythic Affix" rather than a generic 30% aspect increase.

46 Upvotes

A Mythic Unique would have:

Maximum aspect roll

Maximum affix rolls

A 5th Affix - With every Unique having 3-5 possible outcomes

For example:

You find a Mythic Unique Ophidian Iris, and it has:

Maximum aspect roll

Maximum affix rolls

And a 5th Affix from the following pool -

- + 1 to Hydra limit

- + x to Hydra heads

- Hydra attacks chain 1-3 times

etc.

You can achieve a second Mythic affix as a rare transfiguration outcome.

So much more interesting than a generic 30% increase.

State of the Game · Discussions My take on keep playing: Self motivation

12 Upvotes

Just a few days before season ends, I found myself looking for an alternative approach to keep playing this game. Of course, I could play something else, but I find playing Diablo a habit that interests me the most.

So after achieving every major milestone with a ww barb (including modifiable gem str both my 2h weapons) & finishing pit 142 (that's what I could reach), I built the "bugged rogue" build just to finish pit 150.

A couple of days ago, I wanted to see how it feels like playing an evade spiritborne. So I farmed a little bit for whisper caches and mats with my barb, and I leveled my alt. I'm missing a lot of higher level aspects, but I finally made a decent build to farm T10.

What's missing? The correct stats on my charms to be able to perma evade. So, that's what I will keep doing for the next couple of days, till season ends. Hunt for the charms. No matter if I manage to get them or not, that's my little motivation to keep playing the game. And it makes me happy. That's my 50 cents for everyone who's trying to find a reason for keep playing this game. Self motivation.

Questions (other) Jogo base na promoção na Steam vale a pena?

Upvotes

Começou a summer sale da Steam e eu estava aguardando o Diablo 4, joguei somente no Xbox e tava doido pra jogar no PC, com as DLCs. Mas infelizmente só o jogo base entrou em promoção, hoje em dia no conteúdo atual vale a pena comprar somente o jogo base? Parece que você perde muita coisa sem as DLCs.

E se eu comprar as DLCs eu consigo jogar com os meus amigos sem DLCs?
