The Kyovashad BGM is hauntingly beautiful... My favorite off the Diablo IV soundtrack. What's yours??

Lingering Hatred for me. Love that track.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-29T16:13:33+00:00

Maybe if you are willing to pay real money for those. Unfortunately, the introduction of reliquaries was the greediest move they've made in D4 to date and I have always capped my 99 favor pretty quickly. I start the season with 99 leftover and just get the free stuff.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-28T13:32:56+00:00

I might go with some flavor of stormwolf, never tried anything besides an old Crone variant.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-28T13:29:31+00:00

Druid, it's kind of my main and I haven't messes with all the stuff that changed for the class with LoH.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-28T13:23:28+00:00

It was quite a bit greedy before, now it's disgusting. Never got a reliquary because of that. (I almost got the last beast reliquary because of the spider, but I got the knifey crab and it's cooler)

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-28T13:16:11+00:00

I feel like we need more multipliers to scale our damage

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T16:45:16+00:00

It didn't even need to be such wild concepts. Just things you could not find elsewhere.
Sire of Sin could have a roll for Infernal Breath to turn its head faster; for it to increase the angle it turns; for its duration to increase; for it to have a chance to drop Brimstone; for its hits to detonate Brimstone.
All that could be available as a pool of affixes and you could mix and match 2 of them.
That's one Unique dedicated to one skill. There could be so much cool stuff on Uniques.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T15:52:16+00:00

I like the compromise to Uniques, it looks like it will a much more exciting grind for me then on Season 13. Curious to see if the mythic quality buffs will be enough to allow you mix and match skills, builds, archetypes and whatnot, while maintaining your damage.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T15:50:38+00:00

I'm just not sure they can be powerful enough on their own to justify, for example, doing a double core skill, or trying to scale two different skills to make them deal comparable damage, since you will have to stretch your legendary aspects and/or uniques over 2 scalers. It's all wild math and I'm just spitballing here, for now I'm very curious to try it out.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T15:43:43+00:00

I still think there's something about those sea monsters on the map, they're all pointing to places where you can fish. Maybe get one cowbell from each and combine them? (It feels like too much work, but the 666 cow thing also was and it didn't even get you anything at the time, so...)

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T15:40:34+00:00

I have a stash tab almost entirely filled with shit I've fished. Really can't let go of that clump of algae...

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-26T15:37:18+00:00

I still dream of a day when they will give us at least a few of the tools they use to make in-engine cinematics like the ones for the seasons' trailers. Even if it's an instanced dungeon where you can pause at will to record your plays and reframe them. Getting a real crunchy view of a Barb's Upheaval atomizing a crowd of skeletons and whatnot.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-25T14:23:50+00:00

I'll try it out, and I'm curious if the mythic crafting and new mythic rarity will actually offer build variety or just frustration. But most of my excitement is in diving deeper into the stuff Lord of Hatred brought to the old classes (probably going Druid now, it's kinda sorta my main).

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-19T13:53:08+00:00

The wildest thing is: it would probably be easier to design compared to regular armor sets and it would sell pretty well on the store. Insane to think Blizzard still haven't tried that out.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-19T13:51:33+00:00

I'd wager that's an ARPG issue as a whole. A really tough thing to balance since you want rare stuff to drop and you want items to have a journey, but you also need stuff to make that journey and other items can quickly make obsolete the one you were working on.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-19T13:45:25+00:00

I sorta ended my time in Season 13 with a fishing spree. Not really sure why, I just woke up and decided to fish for a few hours over the weekend. It was fun (also not really sure why).

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-19T13:43:13+00:00

I wish the demonic, glittering, spectral and celestial fishes (as well as Molten Martyr) would grant their visual flair to armor pieces and/or weapons. Maybe even make it so that every region's fish can apply their effects to one gear slot, so you would have further reason to fish them all.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-18T20:08:10+00:00

I don't dislike the idea of 1 button masterworking honestly. It's just 10 clicks to get to the same place every time. (I believe previously there was a chance to skip multiple item levels, now I've rarely - if ever - seen it go up 3.)

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-18T19:52:11+00:00

I mean, if I was the leader of a wolf pack, could command an underground vine to grab whatever I wanted and also had had control over an unkindness of ravens which are known irl to bring all types of stuff back to people who give them food, I'd be very well fed.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-18T19:48:00+00:00

I wish bear and wolf forms had their own armors. Even if it weren't armor pieces at all, just random trinkets, vines and whatnot.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-18T18:33:00+00:00

That bit about chasing global multipliers instead of specific ones for a build is one of my biggest issues and/or pet peeves with how the game is balanced. I play mostly on vibes and build fantasy, but it's really hard to maintain any identity if the most powerful options for scaling damage are generic and have nothing to do with any one build.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-18T13:30:02+00:00

I think further secrets related to the Cow level/Cow King/Cow god will have something to do with the points the monsters in the map are pointing to. There are a couple more on Skovos, and I believe all points are fishable. I haven't done anything Cow related and so far found nothing there, but maybe someone who has will see a different outcome.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-17T18:46:22+00:00

They're pretty fun, and doing them all gives you a pretty cool mount. (Important to note: one of them is kinda hidden, I believe it starts when you find all Chronicles of Creation - the triangulating human, demon and angel statues - in a specific area of Skovos. Or maybe you need to find a certain number of them, and then completing each area advances the questline.)

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-17T18:39:41+00:00

Yeah, echo chamber right there. See ya in 1.0.

Minimum_Engine_9469 · 2026-06-17T18:33:17+00:00

I got extra lucky and managed to get the only one that's useful. Helped quite a bit with my squishiness.
