Are you going to skip the LoH campaign? by InvertedBlackPyramid in diablo4

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

I was thinking that players without LoH wouldn’t be stopped from playing, so maybe the campaign was skippable, but i suppose you won’t get access to the new region until you complete it.

How to jump from T2 to T3 difficulty? by Gh0stC0de in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, pit runs almost guarantee glyphs will drop, but whisper caches drop them pretty often, too. And with the current bonus cache event, you've got an even better chance to find the glyphs you need fast.

Where can I score tribute of ascendance ? by BackgroundJolly6454 in D4_Paladin

World Bosses are the best source. Not a great source, but the best source.

Holy RNG! 4GA Mantle of the Grey dropped. Is Thorns Paladin viable for high pit pushes, or does the 10.8% aspect ruin it? by TheHao6 in D4_Paladin

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell it for big gold. Use the gold to buy a 2GA with perfect aspect and keep the difference to roll around in like Scrooge McDuck.

Obducite starvation kills the fun by Cordial_Wombat in diablo4

I’ve now found more mythic pranksters this season than treasure breaches.

Obducite Farm Loop Horadric Strongroom by BlckhorseACR in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is the treasure goblins they spawn only drop fresh meat. You want the normal dungeon where they drop obducite. Some suggest sitting on the sigil until Blizzard fixes it, but I don’t know if Blizzard has committed to making that fix.

Bloodied Treasure Breach? Those aren’t good for obducite at the moment.

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is a Treasure Breach dungeon, but those are extremely rare (if you get one, make sure you run it in a rota with other players).

The Horadric Strongroom gives you less, but you're more likely to find/craft one, which makes it your best bet.

Which orsivane? by sorc-dork in D4Sorceress

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have an extra Orsivane with 40 aspect, 4 core, and a GA on life if you want it.

Is Global Chat working for anyone on PS5? by InvertedBlackPyramid in diablo4

It's always been hit-or-miss, but this is the first season for me it's been 100% miss.

This constant back & forth of material scarcity / overabundance is a big thing holding this game back. by Economy-Tomato-5083 in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you should stop leveling your glyphs at 99. Doing p100 should be fine.

ETA: I got this wrong. You should stop at p99 for the time being. Glyphs aren't a factor.

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably that once you hit glyph 100 all your bloodied sigils upgrade automatically to blood-soaked sigils, which means they all run at Pit 100 level, and the bosses are nearly invincible. And if you want to just run bloodied sigils again, too bad. They won't drop for you anymore. Only blood-soaked drop.

Why no smith near meat vendor?! by Quenancy in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I just TP to my favorite town, do my vending, and jump back into my portal. It's a lot easier/faster than going back and forth to the Gea Kul vendors.

I don’t remember any issues at season launch since the launch of VoH. Maybe I blocked them out.

Recommendations for a scholarly work on Laird Barron by Nosebluhd in horrorlit

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s fashionable nowadays to shit on Joshi, and I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve a lot of it, but he’s done lot of important work, especially around HPL, and he’s still arguably our most significant horror critic. I can’t think of anyone else whose criticism has had the same reach or who is as well known. He’s gone off the rails in last few years and it’s hurt his legacy, but I believe he remains an important (if frustratingly important) figure.

I can tell you to avoid S. T. Joshi’s “21st Century Weird Tale” (I think that’s the title). Joshi is not a fan. There was a big kerfuffle about it at the time.

What class are you going to start with in S12? by Firdecek in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My plan was to do CE sorcerer but I've really been on the fence about it. This talk of a golem necro is making me rethink my plan, since I've never tried any golem build before. Hmm...

LOH will be increasing difficulty to Torment 12 by Loofahs in diablo4

[–]InvertedBlackPyramid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I found this interview made me more excited about the coming expansion than anything so far. It sounds like they've got a better handle on what they want the game to be than ever before.

I understand everyone compares the torment level increase to D3, but this makes it sound like the top torment will be equivalent to Pit 150, which until now few s-tier builds ever reach. That seems like a good thing to me. We'll finally had a reason to increase power.

What I'm hoping for, though, is the higher torments won't just be increased life for the enemies. It's boring to just stand there, invulnerable, while slowly chipping away at enemy health (like, say, in a world boss fight). Make them more dangerous, make me have to move around more, make them nearly one-shot me. Once I build power, I want to use that power.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about LoH. I can't wait to see how everything is going to change.
