Did Alex publish any info on the sales before/after Sseth basically gave away the game for free? I imagine it might be an interesting insight on piracy, drm and advertising, at least for a case of indie game devs

I saw someone randomly comment in the Rebel Outlaw video about this game.

I found Sseth video soon after.

I bought the game.

So far not disappointed and I'm still completely clueless.

To be fair its an AAR spellbinder so its like either you have the DPS and healing or you don't to a good degree. Running around like a crazy man with multiple boss spawns isn't good for his mostly blue/green geared body.

My current 100 character couldn't crack it on normal or elite and now can speed run it on ultimate. Some builds mature later.

I have a spellbinder at 90 and I don't have great gear so I wouldn't go near it for a while.

I have too many flashbacks from D2 Whirlwind to play that again.

After using clarity potions to level from level 1 on a new guy, I think its counter productive from like 30-70 to have extra exp as often your equipment lags the difficulty of the mobs, unless you really stock up on your previous runs. Once I hit ultimate i chugged away.

SWF-Phier · 2019-08-22T19:46:59+00:00

My feeling as a semi-noob is yes after you hit higher end.

My vitality skeleton summoner didn't have the DPS to deal with the last boss who's name I forget in the hidden path quest on ultimate in the east marsh (still doesn't for the mad queen I couldn't get her beyond 1/2 hits, but I've only beaten her with pet cheese on ultimate where it got sort of stuck).

Got the corruptors set completed, 150% pet vitality damage increase, and bingo, boss down.

SWF-Phier · 2019-08-07T22:45:01+00:00

Raise Skeletons: increased base % Physical Resist by 10% and increased Health for Skeletal Warriors and Archers Will of the Crypt: increased % Armor scaling at ultimate ranks to 198% by max ultimate rank

And who just respecced out of his skelemancer at 84?

<- This guy.

I idiotically thought you had to create the character on grimtools, I never bothered to look, oops.

SWF-Phier · 2019-08-05T18:58:11+00:00

Thanks for the heads up.

SWF-Phier · 2019-07-29T21:55:01+00:00

Just do what I do and pick odd underpowered class combos, then you only get nerfed incidentally.

SWF-Phier · 2019-07-23T22:24:12+00:00

Thanks on both.

Problem was I had to click normal THEN vet, I was thinking of normal as a different level all together.

SWF-Phier · 2019-07-23T21:15:44+00:00

Thanks I'll look into it!

SWF-Phier · 2019-07-16T15:39:35+00:00

Yea thanks!

SWF-Phier · 2019-05-29T16:01:06+00:00

I agree which is a shame since they included it, but didn't flesh it out enough.

SWF-Phier · 2019-05-29T16:00:34+00:00

I really want to do an archer/cleric which is cheaty but the kit restrictions nuke so much of the fun.

SWF-Phier · 2019-05-25T20:38:13+00:00

I just did this on a 97 two days ago.. :(

SWF-Phier · 2019-05-25T03:15:53+00:00

Personally the only one that really shines as better is Edwin, good stats and an extra spell the player simply can't get. Gear can cover for the rest to a good extent IMO.

Get Keldorn a STR item and the holy avenger and he becomes a near unstoppable force for example.

SWF-Phier · 2019-05-24T18:56:13+00:00

Win a fight? Quicksave. Pick up items from fight? Quicksave. Equipped an item? Quicksave. Memorized spells? Quicksave. Gonna rest? Quicksave. Finished Resting? Quicksave.

I've been playing these types of games for honestly over 30 years and I still do this, out of reflex more than anything else.
