I've been wondering that too, and I was holding off on buying some stuff until then since we're so close to Black Friday.

I can get it now for 40, BB has it for 35 but I'm not sure if that's in-store only, and GameStop is selling the digital for 45

Digital is the much better deal, but I really want an Arwing. I can't make decisions :smith:

I got the armor set from the season journey with my necromancer and went to get it with my crusader, but it turns out you can’t get the reward for multiple characters

That’s a bit of a bummer, because now I don’t have near as much incentive to play (until next season)

Use a different build. The one revolving around the season set isn’t the only viable one. Or have someone power level your crusader.

Your paragon levels and legendary abilities extracted by the cube will also apply to your crusader which should make leveling up way faster. It’s also not too much trouble to farm up the other three class sets if you do rifts. I played demon hunter for the season and leveled up a necro so I could do all eight str dungeons for a challenge. Didn’t take as long as you might fear.

When/how do you decide to up your difficulty in Diablo 3? I'm running around doing Torment 2 pretty easily but haven't really gotten any stronger since I first got to 70 and started using my season armor pieces and I feel like I'm gonna have to get a lot stronger if I'm gonna do the level 20 rift season goal.

Have you been putting points into paragon levels? Are you looking for better rolls on your current gear? Have you tried looking up builds on icy-veins or other sites for suggestions? You might also try grabbing some legendary abilities for the cube. Any of those things might be the thing to give you a push.

Yeah, I've been doing that but the improvements are very small and incremental. I guess I'm just waiting for a gamechanging Legendary to drop? I'm not getting a whole lot of them and despite that I've gotten a lot of duplicates, like 3 Rings of Royal Grandeur and 4 Cloaks of Deception (and I don't even have a Demon Hunter yet) :arghfist::(

Those items only drop from caches, which tells me you’re doing a lot of bounty runs. Switch it up for more rifts and greater rifts. I’m not trying to be bossy, there are points where it feels like you bit a wall, but sometimes it only take that one synergy to boost your build up. Check out some pre-made builds. Eve if you don’t want to copy them, they can give you an idea of what legendaries to hint for.

You're spot on, I've basically done nothing but bounties :pram: I didn't even realize there were separate loot tables, so I guess that explains some of it. I just felt like I should be taking advantage of the double bounty bags while it's a thing.

Don't worry, I've been asking for help because I want it (basically haven't played D3 since release) and this is very helpful. Thanks!

Has anyone here gotten Taiko Drum n' Fun, and if so, is it good? I feel like if I were to get a Taiko game I'd probably also want to drop $50 on the drum controller as well, but apparently the touch screen controls are totally good, while the motion controls with the joy-cons are just kinda passable at best.

In difficulty level context, the motion controls are sufficient for normal and some hard tracks. I wouldn’t take them to Extreme, although I’m sure someone in here probably does. It’s ok because touch and/or game pad mode is pretty decent, although you lose out on the actual drumming motion. I don’t have the drum controller but I think it’s a fun game even so.

Well I feel like an idiot now. For some reason I thought the Greater Rifts were a lot harder but I hadn't actually done one?? I upped my difficulty to Torment IV after my last post to see if I could deal with it, so my first Greater Rift was level 21 and I did it in... 6 minutes 33 seconds :geno: Welp!


Also it dropped a bunch of legendaries and I thought it was kinda funny how one of the icons looked like Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker and then I went to identify it and it's loving Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker why is it in this game

Ashbringer is I there as well. And greater rifts are sometimes easier than regular rifts just because of enemy density and what not. Do some greater rifts and level up some gems. When those gems hit level 25 they give you some crazy buffs. I forgot to mention them before!

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

I started playing Metroid since it's available in the NES collection now, it's a game which I can sometimes bounce off because of the lack of QOL stuff introduced in later games like maps and save rooms and the ability to shoot down. I decided to start drawing my own map for it though and it's quite fun to do. We'll see if I can stick with it.

DIII you generally want to ratchet the difficulty up until you hit the point where 1) poo poo takes too long to die or 2) You're getting two-shot without a defensive cooldown running. and maybe ratchet it down a difficulty lower if you're just passively farming. Most classes will probably start to stall out somewhere between Torment 6 and Torment 9 until they start getting some kind of real build together, and Torment 11-13 is generally the domain of a completed class set (the green-named armor) and some Legendaries that mesh with it, but players skill, class, and Paragon Level can skew that.

And yeah, mix up your Bounty/Rifts/Greater Rifts stuff. In particular, Bounties once you get the unique Legendaries you want out of them (Ring of Royal Grandeur from Act 1 being the most notable, Envious Blade from Act 3/4 is pretty good for farming.) is mostly only needed when you want more of the Act-specific bounty loot for crafting or cubing Legendaries. Rifts tend to be better for Loot Runs in general, and Greater Rifts tend to be better for hunting for specific Legendaries and gaining XP/Blood Shard, plus leveling your Legendary Gems.

Yeah, those legendary gems can really change things. At first I just wanted a Gem of Ease to level up new characters quickly, then I wound up with a pair of gems that had me doing an extra 2000% weapon damage over time, slowing nearby enemies, and increasing the damage they took by 40%.

And those are just the straightforward effects. My favorite legendary item so far increases damage and resource regeneration by 25% while moving, with a penalty while standing still. This was on my Demon Hunter which instantly became a Strafe pinball zooming through levels, with a bat further increasing my regen so I basically never stopped shooting, and the Chakram damage aura softening up anything I whirled past.

For me, those unexpected combinations are the carrot on the stick that keeps me playing.

Wow this thread moves fast.
Thanks to everyone who put game recommendations, really.

Is Splatoon 2 worth it if I'm not into playing online all that much?
To the person who said to buy Diablo 3 again...You win this time, well after I buy the exclusives like Zelda and Mario I guess.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetimw is pretty chill but I already got it on PS4, and also my wife is more of a musou lady, and speaking of musous should I get Hyrule or Fire Emblem? We've already beaten Hyrule Warriors on the WiiU many years ago but that game is so good. Or maybe Pirate Warriors 3? How is it on the Switch?
Oh I saw someone recommending Celeste and Hollow Knight. I was planning on getting those for PS4 but the portable console seems like a no brainer. Should I buy most if not all my indies on the Switch? Are there any performance issues?
And I'm not bad at plataformers but DK mine carts can gently caress right off. How hard are the ones in Tropical Freeze? I've beaten DKC 1 and 2 but gently caress those stages.
How's the reaping and tearing in Doom? I think a friend of my owns a copy of the PS4 version so which one should I play?
