Moved onto WT2 and it’s quite a bit harder with elites and damages. Need to a few levels before I can do the capstone dungeon. What’s the best way to level? Looks like Whispers for now Dungeon spam. Combine with whispers. Side quests are totally irrelevant for xp now, events are meh and plain murder is the only way. If you want a sidekick for the Capstone gimme a shout Thank you! Going to try hitting 50 sharpish

Had only played on console before so Steam Deck play felt really natural. I tried installing on my severely decrepit PC (which promptly blue-screened, but that's another story) and I actually found it pretty challenging in comparison having to target enemies with the mouse rather than just shoving the stick in a general direction and the game automatically doing the rest...
Graphics were lovely on the bigger screen and closer to my face though. Reminded me I need to get that new PC sorted!

The world boss I fought was just a regular story boss with more HP, and it didn't drop anything good. So I wouldn't worry too much about missing them right now.

Any challenge completion or reward for your first WB ?

I joined one last night, and over the course of about 5 mins everyone just left it. It was me alone fighting a fuck off dragon with 4 minutes to go so I called it a day too.
Was weird that everyone just bailed.

While I really, really, like this game the EG review did call it right when it talked about how it's one step away from greatness with its loot especially amongst other things. Like there's nothing truly fuck yeah fantastic in loot terms like how I would feel in D3 with some of the modifiers you'd get. It just feels a little bit safe, hopefully the first season gives a bit more oomph in loot.

Is it proper "holy shit"? Like I do miss stuff like Armor sets and the buffs from those or a belt for my Paladin that would spawn meteorites every 30secs.

Talking of Paladins... I hope they add one at some point. I miss my auras.

No sets (sadface) but there are items that make skills explode and such. Not many, but hopefully (as you say) season updates will start making us happy

The store, sadly, has the really great looking gear too. Which sort of makes sense, as you should feel like you're paying for something quality, but I want some really impressive stuff to chase in the game.

Any challenge completion or reward for your first WB ? I got some titles for killing them all (titan, toppler). You’re guaranteed a couple of legendaries but that’s it. I just like the scale of them.

The problem for me right now, is that there aren't enough unique things that make me go "oh holy shit this changes everything". There's aspects that do that for sure, but there's just something missing when even legendary equipment is "regular piece of equipment + random power".
Whatever you think about D3 overall, I think D3 was inarguably better in terms of giving you loot that felt special.

That being said, it's early days yet, and I basically trust these developers to get it right eventually.

You get a special cache the first time you kill each of the three world bosses every week. There's a chance of a special mount (or possibly just a saddle) dropping from one of them, but it's really not worth going out of your way for. I haven't had anything especially good from any caches (killed them all at least once now)
The one last night dropped a single legendary ring the second time I killed him, which didn't really feel worth it for the time commitment.

Interesting theory I'm now fairly convinced is true is that each zone has a class and the uniques that drop for your class are more likely to drop in your zone.
I've got to level 79 on a druid and there is a build defining unique helm that's I've been chasing all this time and I've never seen it once. Due to a bug, druids have been getting barbarian uniques in their pool of loot as well so I have a stash about half full of unique items I cant use.
Anyway so this guy reckons Scotland (whatever it's called) is the druid zone (which is true lore wise) so I started burning all my scotland nightmare sigils. First dungeon the helm drops, second one I get the druid staff.
I'm more or less unkillable in torment now. I can just face tank the Butcher unless he's in a high nightmare dungeon where it devolves into a 5-10 minute slugging match.

Interesting... I just think RNG is a bit wonky in this. You'd expect some kind of dupe protection and bad luck protection, but I've had five pairs of the same unique pants drop (ooer!) for my sorc in very quick succession around level 50, then nothing for the next 10 levels. Thankfully they're one that I actually wanted so I had my pick of rolls.

Then again, look at diablo 1, where you had to get through normal difficulty with leather of aut and wizardspike.
Nothing really dropped until nightmare tbh

As a rule of thumb should I be looking at gear with higher armour/damage over the other specs? Got a couple of pieces in the backpack which will add a few points to those stats, but don’t boost my other stats such as strength and willpower quite so much.

Your class, your point in the game and your build. I just stuck things on that were ‘better’ for a long time until I knew what my build was and what was important, then the decision made itself. Generally you have to say Armour is good but again, it depends…

Had a good session on it last night and hit lvl 25. Imprints are a thing now. Bit confusing, and should I care about them at this moment in time?

When you get to a point where you start getting legendaries and you like the aspect of it but there's a better loot option then you can't extract the imprint of it in the next tab and apply to something else. So for example if you imprint an aspect on a yellow item it will automatically become a legendary.

Post by dfunked on Jun 20, 2023 17:00:15 GMT
Yeah, definitely. It's a bit confusing at first, but you can turn any yellow item into a legendary. If you open the codex (on the second tab when you open the map) you can filter aspects for your class and if you see one you like, you stick a pin on the map for the dungeon you can get it from.
Later on you'll want to focus on getting the best rolls you can, but the ones you get from dungeons are a good way to get started.

I'm already scrutinising rares for good rolls ready to imprint some shit on them.
