Fortify is basically a second health bar that can't be replenished by normal means, and if it's higher than your normal health, you get 10% damage reduction.

Are you serious? By the time ive realised what attack to make, its already too late. These skills are for setups where you're going to damage injured monsters with any of the mentioned skills all the time anyway, so you can just press that other skill every couple seconds to decrease your cooldowns.

Was finding my rogue struggling a bit till i had a few aspects, before that it was just all spam till run out of energy then back to basic skill. Now with some fun aspects it is a bit more dynamic, like stealth damage boosts + shadow step auto stealth. Which gets space for rapid fire, which now also ricochets.

I guess so. It's just a bit obtuse on how to actually play the game. Sometimes it flows and sometimes it doesn't and you're never too sure why. Or at least, I am

So just to check, it's right to follow the main quest and generally ignore the sides for now yeah?

That being said, there are some good things that are unlocked by playing the main story. Like your horsey.

It's funny all these posts I'm seeing (not on here) from people that got to 100 in a week or two, complaining about the lack of endgame content. Fucking hell guys, maybe give them a bit of time to make new things, most players aren't going at this like it's their full-time job.

It's a bit daft isn't it.
And, sigh, server error at the moment

It was weekly maintenance then, quaddy. It's supposed to be seamless and you can carry on playing, but I guess not.

I'm not going to rush it. You only get to experience a new game once. I'm enjoying pootling about with the odd side quest, a bit of campaign then another side quest. I'm in no hurry.

Somewhere in Act 3 I started feeling that it was dragging a lot, but it picks up again in Act 4 (which is shorter anyway, but you also get the horse which help immensely). Since finishing I've bumped up to WT2, I'm going after the remaining alters and side quests, and jumping in on world events. I really enjoyed the final stages of the campaign but I've found the post game pretty engaging again too.

PS5 was unplayable for me yesterday, hopefully the server maintenance helps.

Just checked, it's slightly better but still a stuttering laggy mess.

Isn't this the current maintenance time period because they did say it would be unstable during this time.

That was meant to be 02:00-05:00 CEST, so clearly still running or has introduced some new issues.

I literally couldn't play it most of yesterday, constant rubber banding, often a second or more delay in recognising inputs, straight up freezing.
It is a lot better this morning, but that might just be less people playing it.

Fucking hell guys, maybe give them a bit of time to make new things, most players aren't going at this like it's their full-time job. i dunno it seems perfectly reasonable to play a game for over 100 hours and complain there’s not enough to do. It’s like steam reviews on some games I’ve seen where people have played for thousands of hours then given a negative review.

I don't think the demands of people who spend over 100 hours in a game that has been available for almost two weeks can be called "reasonable".

I saw someone on my friend list at level 60+ last Sunday and wondered if he'd slept at all since Friday. I just can't fathom spending that much time playing a game, even one as addictive as this. That's going beyond treating it as a job and it completely taking over your life.

There were loads of guides on the internet and youtube at launch for power levelling, there seem to be a lot of people who skip straight to the endgame as far as possible.

For an always online game this seems really quite poor at saving your progress, you can lose whole levels in server outages. I ended up doing the same dungeon 3 times yesterday because of this. It gets worse in HC though, people have lost characters when the sever kicks them out even though they are in town at the time. I thought this sort of game saved everything you did back to the server immediately, to prevent duping or hacking?

If you think the stats are accurate, a touch over 6,000 people have reached level 100. 6,000, out of however many millions of copies this thing has sold already. They're the ones disappointed with the endgame, because they raced to it and the developers can't make things fast enough to possibly satisfy them.
Will I be disappointed whenever I get to that point? Maybe! But that is probably going to be at least a month or three away, and by that time they will probably have added more stuff. And if they have not, I could... roll a bye character. Or play something else for a bit.

However didn't actually disconnect just became some what unplayable. Good to know it wasn't actually an issue just maintenance, and actually a positive in my mind. Pretty impressive they managed to do 'stuff' without taking it all down. Almost like Blizzard finally learnt what the rest of gaming (GW2?) have been doing for years.
