If it's that easy to do it, while also being easy to fail to activate it by not having read about it, they should just... make her always have that bonus. But oh well. Also, very disappointed my chosen starting class of Goku is not one of the poll options

I'm down for all kinds of quirky silliness, but it just seems particularly rough when it'll be people locking their character out of something permanently for no good reason. You only get one chance to "activate" the bug per difficulty, right?

Pretty wild seeing a bunch of people in lobby with the title that means they cleared Nightmare already... More surprising that they were even able to play that consistently, but I guess the server issues are maybe super region-dependent.

Psychepath posted:If anyone was thinking about playing with a controller on pc and then using the mouse for inventory stuff, it's nearly unplayable that way. There's a half second pause as you switch because the interface completely reloads, but it also means that bringing up the inventory with the controller will close it as soon as you click on something in it. I don't know if I missed an option but it's really annoying that they didn't let you pick and choose which interface to use permanently.

Welp I am fully addicted all over again. Anyone else encountered a strange bug where the game fails to erase your old minimaps when starting new games? I'm doing some Countess NM runs to get dem Sol runes, and when I leave and create a new game to do it again really fast I'm finding the old Tower minimap overlayed on top of the one I'm currently discovering. Makes it super confusing, it feels like using a malfunctioning maphack or something. Also, for controller players, I only just noticed that if you hold L and then activate a potion it uses it on your mercenary. In the original I dunno if I ever realized if there was a keybind for that action, so I was only able to help my bro out by dragging the potion onto his portrait with a mouse..... this is a gamechanger! edit: lol and it'll build up like 3 maps' worth of info all at once! where go, plz halp:

Anyone have advice on what armor/helm to pop on an Act 2 NM merc just to keep them reasonably alive as I level and run through NM difficulty? I'm running a blizzard sorceress, feelin' good, and will go for a cheapo Insight if I get a natural 4-slot polearm drop, but I feel like it's hard to keep my merc bro from blowing up extremely fast sometimes. Does defense actually matter much at these levels?

Ok cool, I've definitely been learning to love the TP merc-save maneuver. Are you saying the cost to revive the merc is based on my personal gold? Or does the shared stash thing just affect the loss when I die?

coelomate posted:Just helps with the loss of gold when your character dies. Resurrect cost is a straight line formula based on the mercs level, caps out at 50,000 gold.  Nah actually thanks, I forgot (or never knew) the shared stash would help me commit tax evasion. I was just gonna gamble for Gulls with it to avoid big losses. I got owned repeatedly on some NM countess runs where like 3 packs of dudes including elite mobs and uniques just..... hang out exactly where I pop out after going downstairs, and bop me in the face before I can do anything.

Oof... it's been so long since I messed around with my PC parts that I somehow kinda forgot that I've never bothered to upgrade from 8 to 16gb of RAM. I think that's been surprisingly punishing with this game! With that and a bigger SSD that can fit this and other bidyogamez I hope I'm in for some smooth gaming soon.

Well all this spooky skeleton talk convinced me to start a Hardcore Necromancer run. Sadly I've finally been hit with the mysterious server issues and can't actually play with any characters at the moment... at least I can still see them though! I guess the game is telling me to take a break.

Lol, soloing the ancients on Hell difficulty as a sorceress sucks. Still did it though!! People mentioned maybe Cold Mastery was misbehaving and too powerful or something? I dunno, I've just been shocked how smoothly I was able to solo to the end of hell with just self-found stuff and budget runewords and stuff on a Blizz sorc... I haven't even used a respec!

Well, I guess I didn't level it to that point, or piercing immunity that way is SO slow that it's not even really useful. I was wondering if they accidentally changed the way enemy resistance worked in general or something, but I think Blizz sorc + Fire Wall is just Easy Mode. Also lol, I was frustrated I never found a 4-socket polearm but then ended up getting a random Kelpie's Snare, along with an extra Tal Rasha mask and a reasonable unique armor with some more lifesteal. My merc ended up really beefy, and it turns out 75% slow on bosses is absolutely insane. As long as he gets a first hit on them he can mostly just stand there poking a boss for the entire fight and I can just heal him maybe once.

m.hache posted:Recommendations for a transition out of Fire Weapons wise? I'm using Leaf and the buffs are just so good for fireball. A common method to get a 4-socket 1-hand weapon for an easy Spirit is to farm the Normal cow level for a normal crystal sword, and then use your act 5 larzuk quest to socket it. Later crystal swords can have 6 slots but getting them from that area should ensure it only ends up with 4. I'm comfortably still using Spirit and Rhyme at level 76, they're kinda nuts for how reasonable they are to acquire.

Also check out the Lore runeword for helmets! It can take a few runs to get Sol runes from the Countess, but it'll also last you quite a while.

vyst posted:Update i cleared maggot lair again and no shaft in the chest so now there’s uhh no way for me to rebuild the staff to kill Duriel ever unless I pray I get in a party lol BUT the big trick that I think may be happening is that I'm pretty sure the symbol of the "true tomb of Tal Rasha" gets shuffled when you make a new game. So if you hopped back in and went straight back to the same symbol because you remembered it you may have been bamboozled (btw the symbol shows up in your journal in case you didn't realize) e: wait... you said your sixth quest for act 2 is showing as completed?? that's odd it doesn't complete normally until Meshif takes you to Kurast e2: maybe check if you can talk to Meshif in town and get sent to Kurast, or check if the game somehow gave you the waypoint...... maybe despite getting your rear end kicked Duriel also died to something you casted? that's all I got Martman fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Sep 28, 2021 |

Once again, so many problems in this game can be solved by simply never dying. Anyway I went on a very stubborn and silly quest to gamble with Gheed for a Gull dagger. It's an otherwise crappy unique one-hander that gives +100% magic find, making it great for any class that can swap to a lovely weapon and still easily secure kills on bosses. Cost me about two million gold, but you better believe I got that poo poo personalized by Anya immediately.  Seriously though, don't gamble for uniques. It's a .05% chance for any gambled item to be unique, and this dagger is maybe the only case where you can be sure that you'll get the good unique you're looking for.

A lot of getting through hell is accepting that you can just avoid a ton of mobs. When you actually definitely have to kill something, if you really want to solo, yeah you'll pretty much need some other damage solution than your main element.

Sipher posted:That clears it up a lot, thanks! https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Rune_Words If you go to the table at the bottom of that entry, you see there are four different links for Armor Rune Words, Helm Rune Words, Shield Rune Words, and Weapon Rune Words. Click through on each and you can see that for Armor, Helm, and Shield, literally all that matters is the number of sockets. Different item types have different max socket numbers, but as long as the item has the correct amount of total sockets and is not Magical, Rare, or Unique, it can make the relevant rune word. In the weapon section you can see that certain weapon rune words only apply to certain weapon types (i.e. Swords, Polearms, Missiles, etc.). This is what leads to some people accidentally putting Insight runes into a spear instead of a polearm, resulting in... well, four runes worth of crappy buffs. I really like that site 'cause it lets you easily sort by number of sockets, or highest rune required (i.e. level required basically), or weapon type. The one weird quirk I had to read about is that "Superior" versions of items are not actually Magical, even though they have blue names when unsocketed. It sounds silly but the important thing for rune words is, only items with grey names allow rune words. Martman fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 29, 2021 |

Speaking of wacky uniques, I was helping a goon and we found the Nature's Peace ring. It gives prevent monster heal, poison resist, damage reduction, and 5 levels of oak sage, cool, whatever..... but it also gives Slain Monsters Rest in Peace. A modifier that's completely unique to this item, it causes monster corpses to be unusable by enemies and allies alike with spells like revive and corpse explosion. So uhh hey for that person wondering about endlessly rezzing monsters that's one option. The funny part is before helping them I jokingly called dibs on all the SoJs that would drop, then we saw a unique ring drop from Hell Duriel and there was a very awkward pause until we got a look at this and went "wtf is that"

I'm honestly asking because I've never spent enough time in Hell or needed the respecs that badly The full respec tokens are going for like 125 forum gold on d2jsp, which is between an Um or Mal rune or so, so from normal play you'll probably have gotten something you could easily trade in-game for. e: oops I may be wrong on the odds, it may be like 1/50 per roll with multiple rolls per boss kill.

I think the biggest issue right now with the Ubers situation economically is that sorceress and paladin torches are just in so much higher demand than the others that the investment is not necessarily super worth it for the 2/7 shot of your torch even mattering. It's definitely nice using goon services for stuff like that though, so you may find opportunities more comfortably in the discord.
