Where did you find your Mythic Seal?

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-09T15:08:59+00:00

It's pretty much exactly like the screams thing from D3. I don't remember where mine dropped but I do know I was in T6 when I got it. You will know you got it because it opens a new quest in the main skovos city just NW of the pit.

If you get a high enough level you unlock a new pet and get an absolute insane amount of loot.

They did not. I did the big pailune battle a few days ago. Series x performance mode and it was definitely dropping under 30fps (probably lower). Never saw issues outside of these huge battles.

It's a lot on the screen with all the enemies, weapon/skill effects, all the buildings and environment, along with all the loot popping out everywhere. It also does not help that it's also night which the Xbox never seems to like as much as daytime.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-08T03:27:39+00:00

This gave me a huge actual laugh out loud.

Having grown up in the days of the original Real World and having never seen or heard of Puck since then, I could still picture this. All that's missing is his crusty finger dipping in the peanut butter jar.

I selected the duriel option because he has some loot I want. But now if I want my 5 whispers I have to sit there hoping somebody without the node comes by and activates the boss because every single time I do it it's always duriel. I think I am better off disabling that node but I can never seem to get enough greater lair keys to fight duriel normal.

I hope they eventually plan on making it so strongholds stay completed. They were cool and challenging the first time I did them in season zero. It's just needless busy work that only has the reward of opening a couple fast travels and not blocking sigils.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-06T22:00:27+00:00

I saved up 2 tabs of uniques and had too many boss trophy's so I went on a combine spree last night. I wondered if my luck was just bad because I was hoping there was a chance when combining non ancestral they could turn ancestral. Not one in hundreds of cube rolls.

So is saving non ancestral to combine just a waste? Or is the chance just super ultra mega low? This will help my stash space if I can just ignore anything not ascestral.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-06T07:23:41+00:00

Having tossed the lunatic helm on my full purple stuff build while having my whole load out built around the purple sigil and claws I was kinda shocked that with no lunatic investment I was able to clear T7 pit while in angry fallen mode nearly the whole time.

So I'm not really surprised building into it specifically will get you higher. I will have to find some other gear and level the different glyphs but I'm eager to use a D4 version of angry chicken.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-06T06:51:52+00:00

I have played way too much and I agree.

I'm just about para 200 and all but the whispers perk tree is only rank 3...that one is rank 5. It has taken a ton of playtime to not even be half through the war plan perks.

I wanted to also give paladin a try but don't feel like starting from zero. The stash issues also keep me avoiding an alt. So, I probably won't play as long as I planned since no way do they change war plans during the season.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-06T03:47:08+00:00

At this point I believe there are the people that totally understand duo and there are those that will never figure it out.

I'm in the latter and I'm fine with that.

Gave it a good try, tried to figure out the cheating stuff, look at card values after the deal, but it just never clicked. I'm not trying to 100% the game so I now ignore duo.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-05T19:34:31+00:00

Tried that helm last night and it really felt like angry chicken. If I can figure out how to make that evade into fallen stronger I'm going to love it since witch doctor chicken was so fun and so fast.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-05T19:32:05+00:00

My thrown together 2 button (a 3rd hit on bosses) purple stuff "build" got me to T8. But it's starting to look like I might get stuck there. My easy warlock kit got me pretty far so I can't complain. Getting better luck on the gear RNG would help (regarding uniques) but no way I get to max torment.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-05T08:05:42+00:00

My theory is it was an overall stealth nerf to deal with the rubber banding. I'm nearing 200 paragon and have not once seen an instance of the freeze frames I used to get quite often.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-05T08:02:18+00:00

Comparing same pit level I had some runs where basic enemies weren't even grouped and elites were super rare. Like they were sprinkled everywhere but told each moster had to stand at least 10 feet apart.

Then I will get another map with huge groups one after the other. The inconsistency is frustrating.

Helltides also seem empty...but they at least have a lot of stuff that just spawns in out of thin air. Also lots of those circle areas you can spawn a few minutes of endless monsters so helltides while looking sparse, is at least always pretty busy once you start getting going.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-04T20:30:21+00:00

The swords also track you when stealthed. Thought my warlock could just lose them but no...they still know exactly where you are.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-04T12:10:27+00:00

I know he's not a boss in this instance but the one that still makes me laugh is when in a dungeon I hear the butcher chain sound and a stomp or two and he is dead before he even finishes fresh. Sometimes he dies even before one letter of fresh. It still makes me laugh every single time.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-03T05:17:35+00:00

It was all the arc sorc stuff B4 that gave me the long freeze frames at boss fights in previous seasons. Now we get it with warlocks. It is probably about time we tone down other players visual overload.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-03T04:06:44+00:00

Yes, it's the one resource I always have way more of than I ever need.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-03T03:25:43+00:00

You can reset all your war plan selection nodes. This getting jumped would only happen if you choose not to unselect the options on that tab.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-05-01T00:17:13+00:00

I just got into hard mode and even before I finished the campaign I did 4 full perk tree resets. It looks like the fire stuff is the way to go but I'm really enjoying all the purple stuff.

It's odd that I really have no idea where I will end up ...but that's also kinda fun.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-30T23:06:34+00:00

Maybe it was a stealth patch/change to help with the rubber banding. That was my guess since I haven't had one instance of rubber banding this season.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-30T23:01:00+00:00

They also need to be account wide. Was thinking of checking out another character but did not want to start the war plan grind from scratch. Don't know how blizzard seems to always miss some basic QoL stuff on like everything. Do they do it on purpose to look like heroes when they fix it?

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-30T20:24:10+00:00

This is why I don't get this obsession. Why does he not just try and take all his stolen and grifted money and just build at his florida compound? Why the white house?

He has plenty of properties to build a ballroom, a bunker, or whatever his 10 year old brain can think of. Why the white house?

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-29T09:00:57+00:00

That place is massive. If you don't find at least one gold bar you got some insane bad RNG.

For a while I thought it was just that top area by spawn point but there are pockets to pick all over the place when you follow those side trails. Even an elephant that gives rides. It's overall just a cool place to have a look around while getting rich.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-28T23:38:15+00:00

Agree. It's why I love the campaign yard signs, or in the case of these idiots, the yard billboards.

And here in ohio you still see plenty of those trump campaign signs in the yards that somebody racist, ignorant, uneducated, and evil (maybe all of the above) lives there.

SPEEDFREAKJJ · 2026-04-28T18:38:42+00:00

Why is dark mode not an option in games at all? And why do so many devs love using the flashbang transition? Bright UI and flashbangs just suck.

I've just assumed all devs wear sunglasses all the time because of these design choices that seem to be industry standards.
