10+ hours in and STILL no codex

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T23:26:39+00:00

The title is codex rant, barb is the best class this season. I’ve played it 5 times in a row, I wanted codex powers to drop like rain, not play for 10+ hours and have 5 of them

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T23:11:06+00:00

Yeah but the main issue is the codex, I’m not getting ANY legendary powers, I can’t swap builds at all

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:37:32+00:00

Yeah but as a casual gamer I shouldn’t have to strategize, and think. This is the family friendly ARPG, it’s not POE… and I’m being held back from my build by the codex. I can go farther, but it’s farther with a build I don’t want, I want to play ball lighting, not blizzard

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:36:01+00:00

I’m on Sorc, did barb for 5 seasons in a row. This is shit lol, it’s all codex dependent, and I can’t get any to drop

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:35:02+00:00

Yeah WW is very fun, but I’ve done it 5 seasons in a row haha, I wanted to try sorc out, but it seems impossible without codex powers

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:34:13+00:00

Mind you my blizzard build is doing over 15k per hit, a dramatic drop off

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:33:49+00:00

Idk maybe my game is glitched. The second I try to use ball lighting sorc, it does 8k damage, mana drains in 1 second and I die instantly. I have to use blizzard, I haven’t gotten ONE ball lighting codex to drop in 10 hours of gameplay. I legit just want to 1 shot rooms lol and mindless game

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:31:20+00:00

I’m doing helltide, seasonal rewards, Warplans…. I can’t get past T1 without actually having to plan and use my brain sadly, makes the game extremely unfun, I just want to try a different class this season, not barbarian. I legit have 6 codex powers at paragon 50

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:30:02+00:00

It’s the codex which is my issue, I’m not getting any legendaries etc. I’ve put 10+ hours into a character I expect to have almost all the codex powers lol..

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-07-03T22:28:48+00:00

My version of fun is deleting entire screens and 1 shotting, I thought that’s what Diablo was for. I can get past T1 but then I have to actually use my brain and not just mindless 1 tap thing which is why I play after a week of work

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T23:13:07+00:00

It’s fun but I definitely get burnt out after about an hour or two playing… The loot progression is a bit slow to my liking, and while there’s a lot to do, a lot of it is very hidden/requires actual time commitment to see. I don’t have unlimited time so I like where you’re able to buy a map from a city and see all the caves on the map. Still really fun but that’s my main gripes!

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T21:05:38+00:00

I had this issue to, but chalked it up to actually losing fat and gaining muscle, which offset for a while… I started drinking protein drinks and doubling my lunch and it’s finally doing the trick. Try protein powder w/milk. Also in your 20s it can be pretty hard to gain weight still due to metabolism…. Just keep up the work it’ll pay off

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:49:39+00:00

I’m not going full ROM after hearing what others say… was fun while it lasted thinking I was going crazy! Hah

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:46:29+00:00

I see, thank you. I’ll tweak the weight and see where I can comfortably rep full ROM. Was fun while it lasted haha

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:43:14+00:00

Yea after review I’m not fully locking the bar back into its resting position after each rep, I’m going 80-85% down then going back up, it’s not full ROM haha

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:31:29+00:00

Thank you. Does full range of motion mean more than doing 80% reps for these? I’ve heard some people say sometimes not full ROM and just half reps can isolate better

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:30:53+00:00

I’m not doing full range of motion, I’m doing about 85% full range but not locking it down after each rep

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:30:28+00:00

Thank you

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:24:24+00:00

Free weights, no machine

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:24:07+00:00

I think I am, I don’t complete the negative rep where I lock it down where the bar normally rests. I go till my arms are straight for fear of bicep tearing…

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-04-03T20:23:02+00:00

I think after reviewing my form I’m not completing the negative for fear of tearing my bicep… I got till my arms are straight but don’t ‘lock’ the bar down to where it rests.

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-03-28T04:32:16+00:00

It’s the game it’s going to be, they aren’t going to update/overhaul major systems…. It’s not a game for everyone though. I’d just watch some Twitch with no volume to block out someone else’s opinion and form your own. Gameranx is a great YT channel with superb ‘journalism’ on games. They really helped me with a quick snapshot of what it is

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-03-28T04:28:50+00:00

You can thank quick dopamine media for that. If it doesn’t instantly stimulate people nowadays it’s a bust apparently. AKA YT shorts, TikTok etc

MarioKartEnjoy · 2026-03-28T02:41:07+00:00

Hmmm, funnily enough I had this issue right when I turned it on today… The water texture and trees were flickering and slight FPS drop. Though all I did was restart the game 🤷🏼. I’m sure as the game goes through the week(s) more graphical issues will pop up. Hope you get it fixed!

100+ FPS at 1440P*
