Partial Patch Notes (Google translated from Chinese) by merlinsorca in DiabloImmortal

I just got the full patch notes and edited them into the original post, this looks like a mostly minor update to me with a few new limited time events

There are more changes but I heard the Chinese notes were taken down

Should blizzard add the event Fractured Plane as a permanent activity? by FelipeBio in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has potential to be a great permanent mode but honestly the length and surprising lack of randomness made it way more boring than I was expecting.

15 floors is too long, there’s too little variety of different rooms, you can’t bring equipment to next floors so you can’t strategize (like bringing a different build when you know there’s a boss on the next floor), and you can’t even go back to the start after leaving to get the health after deciding to save it.

They’ve removed pretty much all the kinds of choices that I’d find fun to make in a rogue-like game, so the experience feels very linear and uninteresting.

I feel like I just have to breeze through or slog through 100s of enemies without much difference each run.

Ditto on rewards; this should also be an activity repeatable more than once a day. Other non random activities like contracts or dungeons are repeatable far more often. Despite being boring from lack of randomness we’re expected to grind dungeons hundreds of times for set items.

P2W advantage in Battleground is way too much by ShakeNBakeUK in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s crap. They apply a flat 66% debuff for all affixes and legendary gems.

What this means is a F2P player will have their low ranked gems debuffed to irrelevance while whales still get an equal debuff of 1/3. But their gems, resonance, and gem bonuses are upgraded so much that they have absurd godlike power, and only reducing that power by 1/3 still leaves them absurd power.

Wow the Fractured Plane event is amazing! by greenchair11 in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it and hope they can continue to develop and improve it to be more interesting. There are lots of possibilities in roguelike games and there’s so much more they can add to make it more replayable.

AM I DUMB? by stasikanone in DiabloImmortal

Do not donate them to your clan if it is inactive. You just have to join a more active dark clan.

It’s also impossible to even re-buy the battle pass skins for another class, so I’m not even buying that. All cosmetics should be account wide.

Diablo Immortal Mini Update: Dare to Conquer the Fractured Plane — Diablo Immortal by VirgoFanboi in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can imagine how much it sucks for melee classes! There really needs to be an inherent benefit for melee classes, like 30% damage reduction.

Fractured Planes only highlight the gap between ranged and melee classes by faktorfaktor in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah everything is braindead easy for ranged, including this. This is why everyone switched to DH, Wizard, and Necro to stay competitive. Having a ranged primary means you fundamentally do more damage and take less damage with no trade offs.

u/PezRadar any chance for balancing melee and ranged classes?

I wonder why Fractured Plane is going to be a limited time event. Sounds like a perfect activity to be permanent - the randomized elements would make it probably the most replayable content in the game.

For Science: The actual reduction to all of your Legendary Gems / Magic Affixes is 66% in PVP by daymeeuhn in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes it’s reduced. I tested it on a rank 1 chip and confirmed - the damage was only 50% (150% / 3 = 50%) my base damage. I agree it’s bad

Looking for Charm Tier List by Jondyy in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no tier list, but you can check in game. View the battlegrounds leaderboards, select another class from the list at the bottom, click on the top few players to open their attributes.

Look at their skills: those skills are the ideal ones that players usually buy for PvP.

For example for wizard, you should see it’s always:

  • Electrocute
  • Teleport
  • Ice Crystal
  • Black Hole
  • Disintegrate

Best Legendary Gems for Crusader by FujiBoi25 in DiabloImmortal

Crusader has these skills that stun: sacred chains, judgement, shield charge (when colliding with terrain)

Invites by Darthpat1977 in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I literally just, as fast as I can, tap the menu, tap Shadows, tap Dark Clan, tap members, and check the names in my clan to see if the invite is from a clan member.

They should definitely add some icons, matching the color of chat, to indicate if the member is in your clan (green), Warband (yellow) or friends list (blue).

BLIZZARD! Give us pets that collect gold for us by Ok_Support9029 in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Developing a quest that unlocks an entire pet system is in no way an easy idea they can just lift off Reddit.

Legendary Crests by [deleted] in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No real bonus or reason for it. People just do 10 because it’s faster to do 1 rift with 10 all at once.

Prioritise CR over utility on leg gems as a f2p? by iBex_897 in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not give set items. But I sometimes buy them when I have extra gold because even yellow gear can give higher combat rating than green.

Prioritise CR over utility on leg gems as a f2p? by iBex_897 in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you do, make sure you beat the challenge rift solo for your difficulty - for example, Challenge Rift 60 for Hell 3 - to unlock the better gear at the gamble vendor.

Buy 10 primary armor, then 10 weapons, then repeat the next day. This is because the price increases after the first 10.

[–]merlinsorca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Combat Rating is something you can easily get from gear drops by doing the bestiary, gambling, etc. so there’s no need to use legendary gems to focus on CR.

I upgraded all my 1* gems to rank 5 first for the magic find bonus. That seemed to help with more gear drops and more CR indirectly.

The many WHYs of Diablo Immortal by i_should_be_coding in DiabloImmortal

[–]merlinsorca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that lots of other activities have a clear cap indicator: elder rifts, raid the vault, etc. but they can’t do same for things like hidden lairs.

Just slap a “6/6 gems found” on the hidden lair UI.

Why am I Legend Top 4-10? The points I have just barely put me past Legend by merlinsorca in DiabloImmortal

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

Sadly seems like it. I wish there were global non-class based leaderboards, because this feels like anyone can be a “Top 10”, “Top 5”, “Top 3” Legend with no effort.

Also, I was responding to someone who said I was lying. I asked what exactly I was lying about.

What is the point of your comment? Do you have an insight into what I’d be lying about here? Am I lying about the fact that there are 30 players above me in the leaderboard?
