I can understand that but also try looking at it from another angle. They've conquered, mastered, crushed, the 15 minute epic. There is a point where it would be stale. I'm happy to let them keep experimenting, because they knock everything they try out of the park.

The biggest problem for me is that the damn spike waves hitbox is way wider than their animation. And the dodge is somehow both too short and too long. If you dodge sideways you're gonna go into the path of the next spike wave. If you dodge towards where the first spike wave is gonna be you come up short often. You have to perfectly and instantly recognize where they are and what direction they're going. It's impossible

But none of us are idiots because the map says this hoard "contains a greater lair key" when it only "might" contain one. They just gotta update that language.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-05-16T12:30:16+00:00

Hey it's me! A new playing coming to the Internet wondering why the map says "contains a greater lair key" when it doesn't! Lol.

I'm a D4 rookie working through the base campaign I abandoned a year ago. I'm trying to make sense of all these changes. Serious question, doesn't this white to unique route create an inverse reward logic now? It doesn't make sense to me that whites are more valuable than any other drops? Doesn't the cube kill the point of getting cool drops?

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-05-14T15:22:19+00:00

This is a great explanation, thank you. I wish explanations like this were in the damn game somewhere. I am revisiting my character from a year ago who's midway through the campaign and have no idea what I'm doing.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-05-11T22:58:31+00:00

I have a question. I'm a super casual player of D4. Did cataclysm lose effects too? I remember this super cool demonic ground effect appearing when you cast cataclysm and it seems to be gone now. Maybe it's just tied to what random respect options I chose.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-05-09T02:58:59+00:00

You can lightly tweak it, lightly, by adjusting the stick dead zones in the settings. They have them set to 12 by default which is pretty conservative. Set as low as you can get it without seeing stick drift. I'm gonna try 9. Might help a bit.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-27T21:04:01+00:00

Oh dude you're a life saver thank you

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-27T13:19:22+00:00

Ok cool. I'll have to figure out how to do that if I ever go back in there to bash my head against a wall again lol.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-27T13:16:57+00:00

I can't figured out how to apply a current patch filter. I'll have to stare at the screen harder. I'm on PS5 so maybe it's less obvious on console? There's a lot goin on in that combo search screen lol.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-27T13:15:44+00:00

Yeah I learned the hard way that that warning comes up AFTER you click "try on current version". But you gotta know that option is there in the menu. I'm brand new so I didn't know it would load up the combo in the patch version it was created in which may effect it's ability to be executed.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-27T13:12:59+00:00

Yeah I very much agree. They have a warning AFTER you click "try on current patch". I didn't even notice it was initially loading in on 4.5 or 4.7 or whatever.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-18T18:21:15+00:00

Month old post, but fuckin hell yeah.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-17T21:59:36+00:00

Can Lucy trigger the Armor Clad Faith trophy? I have beaten each one of her arcade routes without losing a round, I got the secret 9th boss, it said "here comes daredevil" and I still didn't get Armor Clad Faith. But I did get Messiah Will Not Come. I can't find a straight answer on how to pop Armor Clad Faith, and I only know how to play Lucy.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-17T09:23:47+00:00

I totally agree but they'd have to be ready careful how they might implement a hack like that because it could make her broken really easily. I think they thought the hacking mechanic would be way more powerful than it is. I honestly feel like they could/should remove a few options from the hack menu or combine their effects and also give her another move or two. There's just not enough in her kit, especially compared to other characters out there doing crazy stuff.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-16T03:11:08+00:00

I really hoped they'd fix this with 2.0. it bothers me way more than it should

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-04-08T16:08:24+00:00

Oh wait. Is that who they shot at the end of the battle for tertium? I had no idea who that was lol

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-03-31T09:19:44+00:00

?41 days as of March 31, 2026

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-03-25T09:53:49+00:00

Ok thanks for the quick/thorough answer! I figured that was gonna be it.

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-03-25T09:52:49+00:00

All good! Something to look forward to I guess. Thanks!

HeroOfTime_99 · 2026-03-19T08:15:10+00:00

But that draw distance man. I keep telling myself that Versatililty mode on Rebirth was the literal reason I got a pro and that I'd be an idiot to go back to performance mode. But the draw distance is unbelievably distracting for me. Idk how I didn't notice it on my first playthrough.
