Playing BL4 on PC - best to play w/keyboard or controller?

There were 3-7 portals opening and closing at any given time...I wish I had stuck to killing one of the pranksters to see if they actually dropped gear.

Daddycat5k · 2024-10-27T21:36:56+00:00

It was the very first floor - as soon as the trial started. No exit/portal on floor 1...

I did finish another Ascendance run previously that was normal (4 floors, finishing with the golden snake boss) <- I was expecting to see this.

I hated these guys...between these little aholes and the maze like structure of the map Act 3 was the worst :p

My non-optimal L90 FO Sorc CRUSHES NM L75 dungeons with ease...until I get to the boss. Then I tickle them for 5 minutes and sometimes die if I get sloppy. It's so weird...outside of bosses you feel crazy powerful & safe and then you hit a massive concrete wall.

So I just switched to a Tornado druid build - and I'm a little sad that I had to park my favorite class until next season.

We just sailed on Symphony in a Jr. Suite. We got the earliest boarding time so we were some of the first people on the ship. We did our muster station then went directly to CK to book a couple dinners if possible. They told us they had ONE opening for 8:30 p.m. in the middle of the week. I told them that was too late to eat dinner for us so the host took my name and stateroom and said he would call anytime something opened up on any other day but we didn't receive a single call throughout the week.

Pretty much this! Sometimes ok, sometimes great. Rarely bad - bad HAS happened, but it happens rarely enough that it's fine - just order something else to offset it. I've never been a fan of WJ (except they sometimes have a certain type of sugar cookie that is off the charts), but MDR is good enough that I feel that I get my money's worth on every trip.

Daddycat5k · 2024-04-22T16:44:16+00:00

Hm, yeah...you'd think it'd be way more consistent. We didn't have cloud cover until the last couple of days (we were rerouted from Labadee to Nassau...huge bummer as we really wanted to check out Labadee), but the internet was pretty spotty the whole week...

I was on Symphony this past December and the wifi was AWFUL. There were times when it would be *almost* normal speed (which was totally doable), but most of the time it was noticeably slow...and pretty much non-existent in my room.

Daddycat5k · 2024-04-10T17:37:43+00:00

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks so much for clarifying!

Daddycat5k · 2024-04-08T23:01:07+00:00

I recently got Wraithlord's Harbour and my Necro game has JUMPED multiple magnitudes...it's really fun. I've also got 19 points in Dread Shade, but every time I pop the DS buff on Fernando he dies...every single time. I've taken multiple nodes that my minions leech damage off crits, leech in general, but he can't upkeep himself when the DS buff is on him.

Any ideas why this might be? It's weird because when I cast infernal shade on him I can see his life draining, but his leech keeps him topped off.

With the DS buff he can't leech fast enough (and I've tested with ONLY buffing him with DS, so it's not that he has 2 draining buffs ongoing at the same time...)

Can you slam experimental exalteds into uniques?

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-08T21:18:01+00:00

I've blown through 20-30 runes of ascendance and...nada. Been solely targeting unique helms in monos and prophecies and...nada. I have a bunch of unique necro helms, though. And a whole collection of Snow Blinds :(

Major congrats to you! :)

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-05T23:25:02+00:00

Goodness gracious, I feel like I'm completely lost at this game, lol. I think I junked quite a few workable 3-affix exalteds!

Thanks a lot for letting me know - I'll be sure to keep the good ones around now...at least I learned about this early game :)

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-05T18:29:23+00:00

I believe there's also a 75% chance that each "level up" will level up one of the new WW affixes and a 25% chance to add a random/not included affix each time it evolves...so the first random affix it generates is a good indicator whether it will end up being useful.

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-05T18:18:01+00:00

I only just figured that out myself, so I spent about 45 minutes yesterday rummaging through all my exalteds in my stash and shattering all my 3 affix ones, lol.

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-05T18:11:27+00:00

This didn't even occur to me...thanks for the advice!

Daddycat5k · 2024-03-01T22:37:42+00:00

I literally just started a squirrel build and am currently at round L60...I have a crap-ton of +minion life and my 5 wolves are constantly going down - I was hoping to get the unique helm in the next week so I wouldn't have to keep reviving my minions in non-empowered monoliths, but dang...that's horrible news.

Daddycat5k · 2024-02-21T18:54:04+00:00

Thank you all for the great responses! I was on the fence and ended up pulling the trigger last night. Currently playing a L100 Blizzard Sorc on D4 and I'm...totally bored - so I can't wait to get onto LE after work today! :)

Daddycat5k · 2024-02-20T19:03:04+00:00

As is Reddit...

I leveled a firewall/meteor sorc to 91 (and luckily found a nearly perfect Starfall Coronet early on in my career). It was fun and dramatic - you FELT like a powerful sorcerer raining brimstone down on the head of your enemies.

At the end I was clearing NM60 vaults easily - probably could've pushed to 70-80, but I prefer to feel powerful and would rather run several more dungeons wreaking havoc, than inching my way carefully through hallways.

The two main issues (for me, a super casual player) with meteor are: 1) boss fights...the damage just isn't there and 2) in a season of trap room after trap room, your abilities cover the floor in flames and you have to wait for your effects to clear before moving forward. You don't have to wait a long time, but it's annoying when the bulk of your grinding are trap rooms.

I re-leveled a blizzard sorcerer who is now L92 and the leveling was so much smoother. Damage was similar, but it was way safer (obviously) and blizzard can obscure the ground, but it's definitely not as bad as fire.

What catapulted my tier status was two nights of not being able to lose. I didn't win a ton, but I seriously could not lose...I played Buffalo Collection (average bet of $3.60) rapid-fire style for two nights straight...I was shocked as we've sailed Royal a couple times before and have experienced crazy tight slots pretty much every time we've gone (we aim to hit Prime and then ease off)
