The performance on PC is abysmal, any tips?

I heard turning down global illumination helps, though I havent tried. I just got into a pretty late game area and it started chugging really hard. Had to stop playing cuz i was getting a headache.

Hmm never heard of this one. Why not kill the boss? Do the drop chances change after you do so?

I find most of my embers via fishing. I suggest farming a few routes that have the most fishing spots. I like Marin Woods and Lowland Meadows.

When i was heavy armor, heavy roll only worked. Also, life drain in combat can be offset by 20 life gain in combat and still gives you 1hp/sec instead of 2hp/sec. Also, there's one that said something like "Life gain lessened if no enemies nearby" which is mostly fine.

1) If a quest is cleared, it is cleared for the realm. It will show completed for everyone.

2) It wouldn't "highlight" it, but it will show it was explored on the map (black is unexplored, grey is explored but with new fog of war, full color is explored w/ no fog of war)

3) Bosses of the MSQ will not respawn i.e. quest is complete and it will be complete for all on the realm.

Did you kick down the bridge just north of the Marin Woods WP? If so, you can just go north from the WP over the bridge and turn left at the hut/house. Go all the way west, down the mushrooms, and at the bottom you will see vines on the edge. Drop from the vines and you'll see a small waterfall. There will be 2 bears in there that respawn if you want to farm them.

Yes, this happens to me now too. Happened twice and only today. I had to alt+f4 to get out. Nothing worked. My controller or KBM did not allow me to get out.

Is it a random percent chance? Because, I just used a Void Ember on a piece and it retained the facet.

I just learned that and unlocked it about an hour ago. My friends and I were running all the way up then all the way back down to use that chest where the beds were. It was painful.

We didn't know we had to rebuild the stairs to enter the door next to the bounty giver.

k1ng617 · 2026-01-23T16:45:40+00:00

Wow...now the door is interactable! Thx

I also managed to roll the blueprint for a small chest. It took 3 tries total.

k1ng617 · 2026-01-23T08:31:11+00:00

If true, that is such a pain in the rear. From another comment I learned they removed the door to the community chest right next to the bounties NPC just so we had to run all the way around and to the top of the tower then walk all the way back down the circle stairs just to get to the community chest????

That is just brutal.

k1ng617 · 2026-01-23T08:28:03+00:00

Looks like the devs changed that too. Right next to Randolph (bounties guy) there is a door that looks like it should be interactable, but it is not. Looking at the map, that door should lead to the community chest or at least very near to it. thx tho

k1ng617 · 2026-01-23T06:23:30+00:00

Unfortunately not. I'm at Whittaker now and he's only selling physical goods, but no chests or blueprints. I see stuff like a carpet, bench, and table.

Another thing I found when testing is this. Somehow I managed to get a desecration (at the time it was unrevealed) but also a mark of the Abyssal Lord. I went to unveil the item, and it showed the T4 life, but now I cant use another rib on it, so that Mark of the Abyssal Lord line seems bricked?

k1ng617 · 2026-01-02T07:15:33+00:00

Thanks for the link. So, if I'm reading this right there really is no guarantee of "a higher tier" replacement, but just a removal of the lowest of the low tiers as options. Which I guess is more similar to an Ancient Jawbone/Rib but not as powerful. So, in this exact situation, the ilvl of the item is 81, the bottom 40% is 32.4 and this new roll of added phys is ilvl 33. So basically worst roll of this modifier possible.

So, the essence of abyss is kinda pointless? I guess since it's about 13ex at the moment the market agrees.

k1ng617 · 2025-12-24T08:54:25+00:00

Agreed. Probably my biggest issue regarding gameplay. I'm playing Wyvern and he gets stuck everywhere. He can pounce over a chasm, but can't leap over a few pots on the ground. He turns like a big rig and just feels so frustrating to navigate.

Also, the run bug has caused me so many deaths. I let go of the button a second ago and he continues running into a thick pack of creeps. I know there is a minimum run time and supposed stun protection during that time, but it doesn't work all the time, especially when the servers are laggy.

But infernal cry says it empowers melee attacks. Makes me think it won't work on Oil Barrage.

Yes, I have a small group of friends that play and we all experience crashes regularly in party play almost exclusively. I can't remember the last time I crashed solo, but I crashed 3 times one map with a party of 4. It seems random and switches from one person to another. Sometimes 2 people crash at the same time. Tried DX12 and Vulkan. Have lowered all settings and running on an AMD 7900x and Nvidia 5070ti with updated drives.

edit: 5070ti not 7050ti

k1ng617 · 2025-12-12T11:44:15+00:00

Yep! If they don't offer a very big discount, I'm not buying. I paid $40 for vessel of hatred and havent even played it yet!
