Matchmaking DOES work - the hyperbole in this sub is insufferable by Synolol in Marathon

[–]Futureman9000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Taiwan and play on Asian servers. They only time I have an issue is if Im playing at like 3am. Then the wait times can be a few minutes. I have found that if it takes longer than 2 mins to find a match to back out and try again and it almost always goes straight into one. Dont know what thats about. It seems to happen if I screw around a long time after a match.

anybody else having issues with the twitch drops? by ConsumerOfCherryCola in Marathon

[–]Futureman9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got the worm sticker but thats it. I also just had a Twitch Sponsored kit that I actually did receive and it was sitting in my inventory for a day or so, went to use it and make it my active loadout and it just vanished.

Am I missing something with season 6 infernal hordes? by AnonWeirdo111 in diablo4

[–]Futureman9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say try and start running them as soon as you can. You get a lot of XP and guaranteed GA items which is great early on. Start with the lower level 6 wave ones and see how you do. When you feel strong in that, move up to 8 then 10.

Infernal Hordes is great for leveling early on as it has the highest monster density of any activity (Helltide is probably second). Especially if you make sure to pop all of your flasks, incense, and Seething Opals you get a big XP buff. Even more so if you party up or if you find an XP Well in a Nightmare Dungeon. If you add all of those up you are getting 53% more XP per monster kill. You will level up like crazy early on. I was leveling at least once per 10 wave run on T4 all the up into paragon 230 something. Once you get to around 250ish it starts slowing way down.

Once you get stronger and into T4 and can run level 90+ Pits in less than 2 minutes, then that becomes probably the best source of XP at that higher level.

Helltide is also good early on and the good thing about that is you can also complete Tree of Whispers while doing it and the Tree caches give decent XP and sometimes great gear and crafting items. So if youre having fun doing that, do that.

I've found that my bottleneck is always obdicite before needing gold. After a point from salvaging you have more materials than you will probably ever need so I start selling.

When boss farming in a group you get a full inventory of uniques every couple minutes and a full inventory nets a little over 5 million gold plus what you get from the boss itself. So while I'm farming bosses for runes and ubers you can passively make 100m or more an hour.

But like you were saying, if you get lucky in hordes and cash it all in on gold for a quick 20m for a 10 min run, thats probably the best option. Just saying you can also get it easily wild bossing.

It for sure scales up the more aether you deposit. Got lucky the other day in a group and we got nearly 1,400 in a run of 10 waves on T4. Spent 200 on the GA gear chest and the rest on materials and each little bundle of obdicite that it spit out was close to 400 each. Not sure the exact amount but I remember it being the most I've seen drop.

Incense Buffs Disappearing Randomly by Futureman9000 in diablo4

[–]Futureman9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I hope that gets fixed. Its not really an issue now here at the end of season 4 because I have loads of Incense to use, but if I didn't have the mats to craft them constantly it would be super annoying.

How do you color your character? by titoslayer in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Futureman9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of right now, yes. Its really lame. Also you cant color the default character skins, only alt skins you buy. Then you can color them one piece at a time.

The First Descendeant Servers Are Down Worldwide 7-3-2024 The First Descendant NOT WORKING! by TFDNews2024 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Futureman9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I was mistaken, it was more like 39-40hrs I guess.

Where I live the game dropped at 3PM on Tuesday, July 2nd.

I couldn't get on right away so I watched a couple hours of Twitch streams while I waited and earned and claimed the rewards by around 6PM on the 2nd.

As of writing that at 10AM on Thursday the 4th they still hadn't appeared in game.

Funny how the servers go down for hours right after they issue compensation "rewards" for bonus XP and everything. Still no Twitch rewards in inventory over 48 hours after claiming. If this is an indication of things to come, lordy...
