Can anyone help on how the comms works, we joined a game and instantly got a hello message from another player. I looked on the local players to find who it was but couldn’t then send a hi back from this screen, looked on the map and couldn’t even see where they were.. I guess could have been in part of the region we hadn’t explored. Not wanting to look anti-social all I could do was send a broadcast hi, but then who receives that everyone around us? Same for someone asked for help, was that like a broadcast help to anyone or specifically to us? Couldn’t find them at all, but they then fortunately appeared next to us and we joined to help them out on a boss in their region. Any info appreciated! :-) No idea on the Comms thing Did you join the FG clan? Ah, ok no worries.. cheers for the response though, appreciated!
No, havent joined the clan yet, I remember seeing about it a few pages back but didn’t pay much attention as we were belligerently resisting buying due to the forced muti-player, how wrong we were… anyhow, I’ll go back and see what we gotta do, cheers!
//...If you want to search for Fontgeek in the Clan menu and request to join....

I missed this post. All versions have the chat/log window bottom left yes? If somebody does anything interactive locally it should be printed in there so you can see their name. I stumbled on a large empty area that was clearly a boss location with a single dude sat on his horse. As I horsey'd away a message popped up in the corner asking when the world boss starts. I think he was just sat waiting for it.

Actually it might change to the right corner if you have the player UI in the left corner. If you have local multiplayer then all bets are off what happens with the window.

I see quadfather managed to get online last night and smash out some challenges. I do like seeing when others do something cool. #goteam

(logged on early this morning for a quick pre-work bash - two hours disappeared and I rinsed an area I had just casually stumbled into)

Finally made it to Act III this morning. What was quite amusing was the fact that the boss of Act II was so easy that I didn't even need to heal once. Compare that with the bloody Stronghold boss I'd faced earlier and it was night and day.

I'm clearly underlevelled on my druid, at 27 now and going into 35+ areas to progress the last act of the story (doing it again for an achievement I missed on Xbox). I'm still absolutely smashing through everything though (and presumably getting decent XP for it), plus it's quite handy getting gear above your level so it's ready to go as soon as you ding.

You've just reminded me. Whilst this game scales with your level, I was wandering around in my 20s and found an area that had red text pop up when I went there that just said it was an area for levels 35+. So I left that area. I need to go back now to see if it's still 35+ or whether that area too has scaled.
Of course, I can't remember where the hell it was.

quadfather, yeah those areas will start to scale up with you once you hit 35.

Finally battling Diablo in D2. What a cunt. He’s barely on screen before he’s firing shit at me. Let’s see who gets bored first.
edit; he did. Piddly amount of xp for killing him.

I just did my first nightmare dungeon. Just an easy one but I’m pretty pleased with myself. Feels like there is lots to do in this game.

What does one get for Event mastery? Failed the one in Haunted Cellblock by not killing everything in the time limit, I guess. Sometimes it’s not clear.

It normally tells you on the right hand side what you need to do for the mastery. May well have been a time limit one. If you failed then it sounds like you were just...

...wasting time!
I'll see myself out.

Just a different kind of chest with more chance of rare gear I think. On the legion event you get 3 chests for mastery and 2 if you miss it.

I was decent at the masteries early on but I fuck most of them up these days. It's all I can do to fucking survive.

The kill 5 waves one you get in dungeons is my favourite. Usually hit 8 or 9 waves.

I hate that they drip feed enemies in really slowly so I have to kite and group before deploying the shock&awe otherwise I'll be spent by the time the big Bois turn up.
Alternatively the ones where there are a couple of random enemies off-screen keeping a bubble shield up. No mastery for me unless other randoms turn up to help.

My rogue had a real trough in the 30s and early 40s, but it picked up once I found some upgrades, ramped up my mobility with double evade on boots and shadowstep over the shadow orbs. Still an utter glass cannon mind, but you can't be killed if everything's already dead

I feel that I'm on the cusp of things getting better. Perhaps that or I'm understanding how to play the rogue better. One or the other. I do think part of the problem is the way I'm playing it not quite being compatible with the skills and perks I have. I swapped things up again though and it's definitely on an upward trajectory.

I think I've done the same as you. It was definitely harder in my 30s. It seems to be easing up now, but like you, I'm just pissing about and have probably got some skills badly assigned. Still, it's still going and I'm making progress. Just hoping for a couple of drops to ease it up a bit more

Once I realised I'm not tanking anything, anywhere, anytime and focused on staying mobile it became a lot smoother.
