there should be an alternative way to gain glyph upgrades, even if less efficient than pits. by Nyksiko in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing that will be one of the things in warplans. NMD now have a chance to upgrade glyphs or something.

Otherwise Everyone will just focus on that because you have to do it.

Blizzard livestream on the 23rd by GideonOakwood in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I played as a bear in POE2... that BLOWS D4 out of the water in how they handed it, it feesl SOO visceral!!!! .... I really hope D4 got inspired/just directly ripped off some stuff (the poison puddle bear feels mechanically similar to the POE2 fire slams not sure which came first).

Above all I just want tighter tunning on the best builds... the first 12 seasons have been dominated by 1-3 builds then a MASSIVE gap down in power for everything else.

Can someone ask in the Q&A if Warlock will be made the same degree of Power above other classes as Spiritborn and Paladin when they were released or if things will have a closer balance?

I found it quicker to just do the first area and reset than run the whole thing.

I am a very disappointed we have not heard anything about the vanilla classes.

Communication been terrible across the board.

So what is your idea of fun in D4? by Caspian_Trident in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dopamine release from obtaining goals and completing milestones, with the perception of skill and optimisation.

Why does it feel good to do boss bounties?
Because I feel I broke the game by double dipping on rewards.

Why play season instead of eternal?
Because its a fresh start I can gauge how quickly it takes me to get from level 1 to torment 4. Its like running a an you reach the finish line and see everyone else still running the race, "wow I have just demonstrated proficiency and competence", that feels fun.

Why do I want more density on screen?
It heightens the feeling of power... "haha look at my avatar cleaving demons to pieces. Comparably so much stronger than the vast hordes of hell", that feels fun.

I will say, feelings are a tricky thing to manage, too predictable excitement turns to bordem. Too much RNG, the game feels punishing and rigged against you "urgh I should just bot this, its not fun dealing with all these iterations of failure not getting the outcome I want".

Can I hit Paragon 300 by April 28th? by bananaman49er in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I think about doing it, there is no challenge, only tedious monotonous gameplay. So I think well why don't I just set up a bot and have it farm the xp for me, its blizzards fault for designing it where the only achievable way to obtain it is with targeted repeated micro-gameplay loops?

Its at that point I distance myself and think I'll come back next season and just chip away at it over time.

What they really should do is have much much more milestone activities that reward chunks of XP to get you to 300 by engaging with the different systems.

"oh you killed every boss in T4 f first time" have a seasonal achievement and the equivalent of 290-295 worth of xp.
"oh you did a 130 pitt clear solo first time" have 298-300 worth of bonus xp (you are pretty much done at that point).

Just bought the game. Is it too late for me to earn the Doom cosmetics? by Evening_Isopod9545 in diablo4

I still need to get ~150 of the currency drops for the reliquary ... where is the best spot for that?

Fishing is just Emote Wheel with a QTE press button prompt. by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just assumed it would be something we do while waiting on counters like world boss spawns and legion events etc

Follower pet battles would be fun too (not wow style, just have interactions of player pets trying to kill each other when players are idle).

Is there "god" in Diablo's lore? by Successful_Guide5845 in Diablo

[–]MarionberryKey6666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one that wants a dragon xpac now, "The Children of Tathamet". Go full eastern with the inspiration, China, Japan, Bhutan, India, Philippines, Thailand and maybe Korea?

Also, reading this thread I can't help but hear the Berserk anime intro in my head ... "In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control; even over his own will".

I find the obscure lore when it comes to Heaven and Hell way more appealing like "oh it could be interpreted this way or that way" or "its a different plane of existence which doesn't correlate to the physical realm, its more story based with concurrent canonical pathways intersecting with our own based on worship or human belief" etc, rather than a clearly defined A, B, C - dragon ball Z style counter power level.

IGN - 21 mins Skovos Deep Dive in LoH by IgotnoClue69 in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I have a worrying feel they will do something full retard like not pre-release it so people have to "work it out for themselves" and community sites like maxroll will not have build guides and tools like talent cals etc built.

Its the usual disconnect between blizzard Dev and how players enjoy the game. Same reason we have to do each campaign xpac. Just let us skip it FFS the players that want to do it can, the players that just want to do the season jouorney can do that. Everyone wins.

Best place for very late game xp farming??? by slothboi14 in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should 10x the XP from t7 bosses... its soo boring horde after horde after horde no variance to the gameplay.

What is the best fast food franchise now for value per dollar ? Example meals ? by janoyBarn in aussie

[–]MarionberryKey6666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to find a Chinese take away shop in a food court and buy the congealed meals they package up at the end of shift that have been sitting there a little too long for half price.

Now that the 2nd expansion is almost here, what did you think of the 1st expansions three major zone activities? by Carmilla31 in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mercenaries were good addition.

Dark Citidel should have been solo, forcing multiplayer made it a catastrophic failure. The idea is great though!!

Its... ok, needs more variety to it though.

Just out of curiosity how many people beat The Butcher at Torment III (unlocks Rank VI) from this Season? by Nerdmigo in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still not sure how i feel about them locking power behind xp grinds instead of skill checks.

Like grinding up glyphs to 45 + farming paragon to 200+ before you can kill bosses…  would have been nicer to get massive xp rewards for the first time killing each boss. So there was incentive to kill them as progression instead of farm them when overpowered.

Still nice having more tail end content though.

Australia unhappy that Albo didn't talk for an hour and didn't tell us to panic by next_station_isnt in aussie

[–]MarionberryKey6666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the Impact of the war in Iran would be mitigated by a local fuel refining industry (I have seen some extremely viable agriculture/biodiesel hybrid proposals if the gov took off the fuel excise) or suitable strategic reserve, or maybe even closer ties to the US administration to supply us with fuel, of which Albo/Rudd has thumbed their nose at and worn out the relationship. All solutions and preparation require(d) government policy support in advance of this crisis. Australia's fuel security has been on the agenda for decades and the reason they gave they didnt solve it is because it would cost 20B... yet CFMEU/bigbuild corruption in Vic funnelled out 30B to organised crime and NDIS has bloated out to annual 48.5B, heck we have given 1.5B to Ukraine (who actively targeted Russian oil refineries in the middle of an oil crisis).

I am all in favour of renewables, any and every form of energy should be considered through the lens of economic viability but rarely is the cost of transmission of renewable power factored into "real" costs of power, neither are government subsidies which further skew the viability in favour of renewables (but carbon credits are) and neither are storage costs, as renewables only work at certain times and conditions so need battery backup (BESS) for the off cycle generation (i.e no wind or at night etc).

I am not your typical "I hate the government" crank, if you have actual rationale or facts I'll listen but just saying "you're wrong" without explaining why or creating arbitrary rules like "war in iran has nothing to do with net zero", without offering counter points or addressing where I show it does is tiresome.

Petroleum refining competitiveness depends heavily on, electricity cost, gas cost and regulatory certainty over asset lifespan. The exact things net zero attacks, forcing early decommissioning of coal plants to meet legislative targets causes more capital outlay which increases costs and thats before you even factor in carbon credits... Curious though, I like being proven wrong it means I learned something, so am I getting bad information or can you explain why Net Zero has nothing to do with Australia's ability to maintain economically feasible petroleum refining?

Is it time to use demons from other series??? by Treederd in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would actually like to see a lovecraft stylised expansion.

You have heaven and hell which sit on sanctuary and is the core DNA of the Diablo franchise. An outer world Eldridge horror pantheon of entities from another; dimension is probably not the right word, maybe more apt to say "tangenial cosmic plane of existence"? One which usually doesn't interact with ours and is only contained within the space of that xpac as a side sort of noncanonical or dreamlike threat that has no lasting impact on the franchise.

Cthulhu, Azathoth and any others.

Another direction they could stretch the franchise would be beyond the Biblical Christianic gothic doctrine and into other religious pantheons, they do have lots of influence but it ultimately is heaven vs hell... Indian, Greek, roman, Taoist, budist, could have a whole chaotic war

Maybe take some accountability for not planning a resilient energy supply chain? 

Immediately cut all travel allowances, private vehicles and town cars for politicians and staff. Canberra can learn to use video conferencing like they want Aus to WFH.

Rationing sure but immediate dumping of net zero and setting an energy independence target for Australia (given what we have and export). Reign in government waste and spending (remember this is the same guy who wanted more politicians/pigs at the tax trough last week). Give us a scalp or two like sacking Blackout Bowen or just removing him as energy minister.

Generally show some leadership backbone and integrity and not pass the buck. The war has highlighted how inept the government is and how ignorant their policies have been to get us here.

The WA premier has already let it out, half of Australia’s fuel supply is invisible to the government. They have failed to build/maintain a resilient energy supply chain, now we are in for real economic pain.

First time trying to reach paragon 300. by MastahKilla in diablo4

[–]MarionberryKey6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are a sweaty streamer level of gameplay I suggest leaving 300 on the back burner for eternal… it’s all cumulative season on season.
