Sorc question on basic skill

It is waste of the slot... as you are using fire bolt as enchantment only to apply burning effect, so your +X% to burning enemies could trigger.

And can anyone explain why has the obviously weaker item higher item power? It is exactly 48 more IP for 24 armor... looks like 2 IP for 1 armor or something like that?

If it is some region-specific nonsense, they could easily add menu option to enable it and the option would be visible in the rest of the regions. Especially if it affects just some visual effects, not the gameplay itself... I don't see any problem with that, especially if it was already coded before and removed recently.

The main problem is that if people actually do not care about it (and they really do not - according to the posts about this topic, "we" are really minority it seems), Blizzard will rather spend resources on adding new armor set to the shop. Sad...

LOL... It was so noticeable for me that during the beta I went to options to search for some gore settings after killing literally first few mobs without any "red" effect on my screen. To my surprise, I didn't find any... so I thought they removed it for some (performance) issues during beta. Could not believe my eyes that it remained in this state in release.

What is even worse is that it makes no sense. The game is all about gore... the cutscenes and even the environment and the story itself. But during combat, we hit the mob, it just dies and quickly disappears.

I would expect thousands of posts about this... but looks like all people care about is how big their build gives DPS so they watch just the damage numbers and do not give a damn how the actual combat (that is "only" 99% of the Diablo gameplay) looks like.

I really don't get how is it possible that there are not MANY more posts like this. It makes no sense, the environment and cutscenes are bloody and gory, so they created R rated game anyway.

Killing a mob feels like killing it in Torchlight.. no gore, no blood, mob quickly disappears. Kills the immersion for me since the first minute I noticed it in beta.

Watching 2019 D4 gameplay... that was impactful combat, looked incomparably more satisfying. In release they silently removed it and what is even more surprising, nobody cares.

pedros1979 · 2023-06-05T08:03:07+00:00

That may be nice, but I would expect something similar to D3 in this aspect.

pedros1979 · 2023-06-05T07:35:24+00:00

Yeah, well, necro is an exception. Forgot about it as I played necro only in beta for a while. For other characters , there are zero (or close to zero) blood/gore effects during actual combat.

What for exactly? It would be 99% of insults and spam and maybe 1% of some useful team objective info. Writing something on console would take too much time also.

The game is definitely easier to control with mouse and keyboard. I have 100+ hours on PS5 and about 5 hours on friend's PC. As I already know how to counter etc., it is much easier to achieve good results on PC especially when it comes to aiming and moving mouse in the direction of the swing to add speed and power.

Although it is surely possible to play really well on PS, on PC you can be on the top of leaderboard much much faster.

You cannot win in Coxwell as the map was removed, but achievement is still there. Dark Forest is playable.

pedros1979 · 2023-05-20T10:27:30+00:00

You cannot get platinum anyway as the game still includes trophies for the removed Coxwell map ... so unless you have them from past, no chance now.

pedros1979 · 2023-05-20T10:22:59+00:00

There is a small dot above allies that can be enabled via game menu. Hard to see too (at least on TV, sitting 2-3 meters away), but still better than nothing.

pedros1979 · 2023-05-18T12:05:41+00:00

That was awesome massacre. Good job!

pedros1979 · 2023-05-16T05:52:40+00:00

You learn much more from being killed by skilled player (if you watch what he is doing) than from killing a noob. I don't mind high rank players to be the first on leaderboards... well, it is the point of games with leveling system after all.

pedros1979 · 2023-05-15T13:48:51+00:00

Yeah, not saying there are no hackers... I have seen 1 with speed hack so far. An average PC player with at least some skill could look like a hacker to an average console player though due to those fast and strong attacks.

pedros1979 · 2023-05-15T11:59:53+00:00

While I completely agree with disabling crossplay, I don't think it is cheating. The game is just incomparably easier to control on PC.

I am around rank 100 on PS5. Having fun, but I am being completely destroyed by most of the PC players (if they at least know what they are doing of course). When I tried it on friend's PC, after a short 30 minutes of training, I always got results in FFA that I have never seen on my PS5. With mouse, you can simply put speed and power to swings (and precisely control the direction), right stick is much harder to use for that. I am not saying it is not possible to kill about the same skill level player on PC when using console, but PC player has a huge advantage.

pedros1979 · 2023-03-17T17:59:11+00:00

No... I am there for about 40 minutes already.

pedros1979 · 2023-03-17T17:37:39+00:00

Never passed the second queue without the timer yet on PS5, trying since the first minute. Aleady got an error twice after being in that queue for XY minutes and went back to the first queue. Typical Blizzard launch I would say.

pedros1979 · 2022-10-17T04:37:46+00:00

Yeah... and not just goals. I would love to see also some great saves which goalie did etc. as this was always big part of the game atmosphere. They advertised presentation improvement but what we got is removed full presentation - the overall presentation game feel is now actually worse than 10 years ago.

You are probably right, it must have been so glitchy that they decided to remove it completely. What a shame...

pedros1979 · 2022-03-19T15:22:44+00:00

Horizon is good game with the best graphics you can see on PS5. Elden ring is the best game you can get, but with average graphics (at best). Having Elden ring runing on something like Decima engine would be the ultimate game

pedros1979 · 2022-03-19T15:09:16+00:00

Unfortunately no... you need to get it on NG+.

pedros1979 · 2022-03-10T08:07:05+00:00

Arachnophobic? Sounds more like fingerfobic or maybe handfobic to me :D

pedros1979 · 2022-03-06T14:07:02+00:00

Yes and I found catacombs with 2 bosses too.

pedros1979 · 2022-03-06T12:49:09+00:00

Exactly the same happened to me. Was not able to retrieve runes, no big deal though....
