For FUCKS sake. That's 3 nights on the trot around 12 or 1 am where the servers go splat what you playing on? I've been on for the past err .. 5 hours or so and no issues on pc. Ps5. It seems something happens between midnight and 1am. Or at least it has for the last few nights. It's not awful, but you always lose a bit of map progress. Can normally log back in within a few minutes

Really enjoying this, great fun. But...some things are fucking obtuse. I have unlocked two aspects in the codex of power (from dungeons) but when going to the occultist to try and imprint them to a weapon they don't appear in the codex option or the aspect from inventory one... no idea what to make of that. I also got busy unlocking new skills without realising there were 5 levels in the basic ones, fucking pleb! It must be because I'm on WT1 but have reached level 12 without dying...should I crank the difficulty up a notch? Keep your basic skill at 1/5, they're pretty weak and not worth maxing out.

I'm not sure why but I'm finding playing this a bit of a chore, I think the loot thing doesn't help, I dont really enjoy looking over a bunch of identical gear to see which one makes me 1% more efficient or whatever. It's giving me Division 2 vibes on that front. Also its super grindy, more like D2, which I don't think I ever got a lvl 99 chara so maybe it's not important. The halfway to Level 100 point is apparently lvl 85, so I maybe won't get to 100 in D4 either.

Am I right in saying they only really add a tiny bit of damage on top of your weapon damage? That's maybe where I'm going wrong. Could probably stand to take a load of skill points out those basic ones and put them to better use.

Yeah I've maxed all mine too. Is that not a good idea then?

Depends on the class. One of my basic skills is my primary method of earning Essence which I use to cast the more powerful abilities. So you'd better believe I've maxxed that fucker out since I'm gonna be spamming it anyways. Every little helps!

I'm playing rogue. Things like my main energy spending attack I've maxed but I've also maxed the piddly standard attack and not sure if I actually need those points there tbh

I find the next unlocks that add affects to the main ability far more effective than just making something 5/5. Your primary attack is just to get enough to use your real abilities so you want upgrades in the juicy stuff.

Or maybe I should change my piddly attack to something better (energy renewing) anyway

You have the ability itself and then two power up abilities after that, but they only accept 1 point - you can't upgrade them any further. So I've got all those, but still pondering the 5/5 ones

Okay, I'll take a look at respeccing a little later on, worried I should have maxed the first skill and then starting focusing on it, but now will re-evaluate. Initially I was just picking all the werewolf skills, but am going to expand a little to work on a poison companion build, as the high levels of rabies look great for clearing crowds at later levels.
I have been so tired for the past two days, and have loads of work to do, but all I can do is think about this fucking game. It is indeed digital crack.

It's better, generally, to unlock new skills as soon as you can, so that you can build synergies and add more fun. Stack points into unlocked skills when you can't add new ones.

Yeah that's my general plan too. Now I've unlocked them all, I need to sort the rest out

But I love this. I never bothered a fuck messing and tweaking my skills in Diablo 3. Can't praise enough the direction they went with this one. I actually have to think, and plan.
And die.

And just link skills that complement each other, so for example my Necro is based is around darkness and corpse explosion so my abilities allow me to continually make and then explode corpses while they are dying over time in a blight miasma and my skeletons are buffed to fuck so I can keep away from danger.

I have 2 points in basic skill fireball to unlock the core skills and that's it. I don't even cast the attack, I have it on enchant to it auto casts for me. It's like a free attack and causes shit to explode!

Rabies is pretty amusing (take the ability that makes it spread quicker, then combine it with the rolling boulder attack to spread poison everywhere) but I ended up dropping it once I got an aspect that made trample (werebear attack) summon multiple landslides. Combine that with the aspect that makes every landslide proc twice and carnage ensues.

Hopped on after work for a quick sesh and buggered about with my stats about fifty times. Another three or four deaths but finally took down the mad druid bastard. Think I've got things a bit better now.

Ugh. Got killed in that annoying fight against the woman’s mother. The last round really stretches my cool-downs and slow spirit regen :/

Interesting, so I guess there's a ton of new players for this game. I did laugh at "I'm a D2 and D3 veteran, they didn't have seasons ".

I forgot about that ad for a second and was like wow, oddly specific chain of events there, Danno.
