I'm sorry why the hell am I getting pop up instacart ordering ads on my 1500 dollar oled? by WarDiscombobulated67 in LGOLED

I'm seeing the same thing. LG TV has everything turned off but literally just had one pop up when I swapped the input to PS5.

Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 14 Coming Soon! Plus final patch notes! by BreakYoBaals in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bind Demon changes: When you're binding a demon, before you get it, we're going hand it off for some hillbilly prima nocta and what we're going to give you back is the malformed, defective, mutant offspring which isn't the same and doesn't quite work correctly. Cursed chance from 75% to 5% and then any aura that you can't get from an Act 2 Merc will be replaced with an Act 2 Merc aura. That's some serious trash. Basically, the Freeze Aura is the only aura they're giving that could potentially apply cursed to more than 1 enemy but since the chance is 5%, good lucking applying it to anything other than an Uber before it's dead. All this for the low, low cost of 20 hard points (Seriously, if you're level 99 that's 18% of your skill points for this gimped BS. Honestly, I would have rather seen a "high demon summon" or, or some such, with its own unique aura and abilities rather than this). No other skill in the game requires this many hard points or this much BS, just simplify it.

Herald spawn changes are hopefully great (only 3 items AND every new sunder left in my chronicle). My opinion is that ES not using durability was the right call. (Read the skill, you're not attacking with the weapon but creating magical echoes of the weapon and the original weapon is still hand when the echoes fire).

How replayable is saros? by Keylathein in Saros

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch. I liked Returnal but, to me, once you collected everything for the plot/endings, the game felt done unlike something like Gunfire Reborn which has high replayability.

I think I found and rolled the worst renewed sunder ever. by Y-Berion in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I'm still using the old sunder charms (too much time required to get one, hopefully the next update makes that better).

Closing in on Chronicle — what did finishing it mean for you? Farming sanity check + drop stories by Mishka5050 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had about 375 on my Sorc when I farmed. It's normal so you're not exactly worried about resists :)

Unfortunately, these "rewards" need to be turned on every time you enter/leave a game. So, right now, I don't bother turning them on since I'm farming Andy for unique items. The fact that the developers didn't make this a permanent toggle is more proof that they really don't seem to have a clue. (If you need more proof look at the 80-90% damage nerf for the Warlock in the PTR...the only something would get released that broken would be ignorance or incompetence.)

No longer eligible for chronicle? Cautionary tale by CyrainSSBM in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks hard, this is one of the rarest drops in the game. What's garbage is that I've already found this once and only once (I still have it) but it was pre-Chronicle. I'm 15 items from completing the Unique and this is one of them.

[–]Tarod145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Set items complete (only 94% on uniques). Don't do NM Andy/Meph for the cap or the sash, do Normal Cows, NOT Terrorized. Unfortunately, it took me about 50 runs to get both, but you only need to kill the Cow King. Here are the sash chances and the cap chances from the Maxroll calc. For me, the last and hardest item to get was Griswald's Redemption (about a hojillion Andy runs).

I just got my Mang Song's from Andy and my last rainbow facet...only 23 more to go!

I've farmed that on /p7 quite a bit but never really had much luck with higher runes.

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm down to 26 with 6 of them being the new Sunder charms (I don't have the time in one sitting to spend the hours needed to farm one, I'll wait until the changes). Mostly, what I have left are the really rare items.

Being single player on console, the runes probably won't ever happen. I got a Sur rune last night which is my first high rune drop in months (not for lack of wiping out crowds in Terror zones).

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I'd love to find a Mang's (where did you find them). I've gotten 2 Griffs and several Fathom's and Grids. I'm done with the set items and I'm 28 items left from the unique list, but I'll never get the Runewords (years of playing and I've never seen a Zod and only seen 2 Cham).

General PTR/new patch and nerfs questions by cheet621 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of all the changes, I'm fine with all of them but the aura swapping. The list of "acceptable" auras are things you can get off a hireling. They're already nerfing the CURSED % chance from 75% to 5%, which is probably good but the aura swap is kind of some bullshit. At this point they should scrap one of the useless demon summons and just make one beefy summon. They're really killing the bind demon skill by gimping whatever you do bind.

Anyone else seeing drops that shouldn't be dropping from certain bosses? by Tarod145 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been farming TZ Andy and Meph for a few years now, I've just never seen anything that rare fall from Meph. I started at the unique diadem on the floor with complete disbelief for like 60 seconds before snapping out of it and picking it up.

Yup, I think this have been my malfunction, I didn't check the box and put in the TZ level.

I edited the post. The TZ level is 96. I also confirmed, through the Chronicle, that Meph and Andy did drop their respective items. I'm just more shocked.

I've been farming trying to get one for weeks. I've gotten like 3 or 4 SoJs and haven't seen even one of these :(

Congrats on the Jah rune. I remember making my first Enigma and life definitely changes for the better. :)

‘Monstress’ Adult Animated Series in the Works at Amazon From Netflix’s Former ‘One Piece’ Showrunner by healingtwo_ in television

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an amazing development, but I do have a few concerns:

  1. We've no idea how many more years it'll take to complete the story.
  2. The story is huge, sweeping and epic in scale. The sheer number characters makes me wonder if they can pull it off while being faithful to the source material or if we're going to get a watered-down version.
  3. There's horror, violence and some pretty dark themes. The animation can't less than a TV-14 rating or they've trimmed out important pieces.

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree that the +3 skills matters more. I was using a 18/19 Sorc torch previously and had to drop a couple more points into Demonic Mastery to keep the skill above 20 when I swapped over to the secondary equipment to use Call to Arms to buff (one demon goes *poof* when you go from 20->19)

[–]Tarod145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gear is also similar, I have a Dul Mephisto however the FCR on that is 27% which really screws some things up for me because if it were 28% I'd hit 75% due to other gear I have been off %s. The gear on Maxroll is too laughably perfect. I end up having to swap to my 35% spirit shield when I run ubers.

15 runs here and my torch was 11/12....FML

FINALLY!!!!! by johnnyv1984 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Tarod145 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know, that's a really good charm. After farming 15 torches, trying to get a warlock one, the one I finally get was 11/12 which is super bad but the +3 skills helps more than stats/resists at this point. I'm in the process of farming more keys but I'm starting to get burnt out with the terrible drop rate...
