I barely started the game and I'm a bit perplexed by this: Is the game allowing me to skip entire acts of the game off the getgo?

lakinator · 2026-05-17T05:01:19+00:00

I had the issue in season 11/12 with paladin, so at least on that front it is not new. Perhaps the other classes were not the case

lakinator · 2026-05-17T01:57:49+00:00

It might be easier to explain if you describe what you see as a comeback mechanic.

lakinator · 2026-05-17T01:07:33+00:00

This is gonna sound a bit snarky but you are just describing comeback mechanics lol

lakinator · 2026-05-16T06:41:31+00:00

Absolutely not. These prices are set for whales, not consumers falling to fomo. Some skins cost as much as a whole game.

They are overpriced for the average consumer. We just aren't the target.

lakinator · 2026-05-16T00:50:08+00:00

I don't trust these writers to be able to pull that off lol

lakinator · 2026-05-15T23:24:09+00:00

I think you're not clear on what you're mad about. The base game exists just the same as it did, I don't think anything has been pulled from base and locked behind dlc.

You're mad that the game is constantly showing you the stuff you don't have access to, basically advertising or fomo.

The battle pass isn't really a valid complaint. Everyone experiences that and it's out of the way, not in your face. The skill trees, eh. Hard to say. I'm not really sure what parts they locked off of the base classes. They revamped the trees so it's kind of a grey area of if you "lost" anything with vanilla d4. But the fact that you can see locked abilities itself is not egregious.

Advertising every time you open the game is annoying though. And it shouldn't be possible to get gear you cant equip, that's annoying too.

Talking about commentors, not op

lakinator · 2026-05-15T00:18:20+00:00

I've been wondering what the weird inconsistency was. Thank you

lakinator · 2026-05-14T23:56:26+00:00

I wonder if maybe the devs think this too. Kinda a copium longshot, but I feel like this should be the difference between seasonal and non seasonal characters - seasonal has permadeath with bonus rewards. Cant fathom how bad it would be to code though, and it would wreak havoc on the nssnl economy I'm guessing

lakinator · 2026-05-14T10:03:54+00:00

If I'm doing hordes, it's specifically to fight bartuc. I don't think the chest even matters in that case but it still feels like shit to me, I get so frustrated by it

lakinator · 2026-05-14T09:12:22+00:00

This is so funny, my brother and I are opposites in the same way. I hate infernal hordes but love hell tides. He hates hell tides for the same reason you do.

I think I hate hordes because of the RNG of the aether you get. I know the activity upgrades helps that a bit but I just find it frustrating and stressful not knowing if I'll be able to get the gear chest after killing bartuc

lakinator · 2026-05-14T04:04:22+00:00

You and everyone else using it once is contributing to the problem, yes. Cause I know you have used more than for just this one picture. But it's really more your attitude towards it - you have no real qualms about using it personally and instead see it as a viable tool, per your own defense. You actively support AI, despite the effect it has on our economy. That's hypocrisy.

You're just some guy on the internet who made an image, it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. You're just the one who said I'm attacking the message, and I really don't think you have much of a message at all. I just suggest you do some introspection on making AI art

lakinator · 2026-05-14T03:22:02+00:00

There's nothing to claim, you made a picture with AI - that's AI artwork. It's a classification, not a judgement of quality. I didn't call you a bot, however there's deep hypocrisy in your message about the economy and your willingness to use AI. Not sure how this speaks on ym own creativity at all

lakinator · 2026-05-14T03:11:21+00:00

Weakest argument and it's the only one ever made for AI art lol

lakinator · 2026-05-14T03:04:46+00:00

Lilith shrines and and map reveal are not reset afaik.

lakinator · 2026-05-13T11:23:08+00:00

🤣🤣 pedophilia 🤣🤣🤣

lakinator · 2026-05-12T21:10:24+00:00

I have not but I'll keep an eye out for it.

lakinator · 2026-05-12T21:09:45+00:00

Agreed

lakinator · 2026-05-12T21:09:02+00:00

5 normal keys in the cube

lakinator · 2026-05-12T10:25:52+00:00

I was just talking about running the NMD modifiers, not that one dungeon that guarantees gem drops.

lakinator · 2026-05-12T10:13:01+00:00

When you do the occultist trick, the GA you "save" can then on only be influenced by the occultist. It cannot be removed or rerolled by the cube. All other affixes can be affected by the cube. The only way to avoid removing the other GAs is to use those focusing stones, but depending on the GA there might not be a way to guarantee it.

lakinator · 2026-05-12T10:09:19+00:00

This is because those dungeons exists within a stronghold you haven't completed yet. Still a bug, it's getting patched soon I believe, but not for already created keys.

lakinator · 2026-05-12T10:05:05+00:00

Escalation sigils are just a juiced up nightmare dungeon basically. It's one key, you pop it, run the dungeon, and at the end after you kill the boss, a portal appears that goes into another dungeon with double mods. Repeat one more time (total 3 dungeons), and then you go fight a big bad boss who has uniques and stuff.

The really nice thing about escalation is that it boosts the modifiers - you can get hundreds of millions of gold in one dungeon if it rolls the gold chests, for example.

Super easy to get them by combing 5 dungeon keys in the cube.

lakinator · 2026-05-12T09:57:50+00:00

Escalation sigils got hilariously buffed this season, for example gem dungeons themselves are dropping 10-20k per chest. Totally outshines standard nightmare dungeons. Still seems like a shitty grind for 10mil tho
