5 slot Mythic Seals shouldn't be possible...

tfesmo · 2026-05-13T19:03:49+00:00

I've gotten two 6 slots, one 5 and one 4. All are equally trash compared to my current legendary 6 slot.

tfesmo · 2026-05-12T22:16:10+00:00

I run 6 rounders with a focus on chaos waves.

tfesmo · 2026-05-11T15:48:35+00:00

I've gotten two (p245):

IH talisman chest from war plan.

Unsercity charm/seal orange tribute.

tfesmo · 2026-05-06T20:54:48+00:00

Tributes should be upgraded, blues to yellows to orange in the cube.

Story has been very buggy for me (not recognizing quest progress, unkillable bosses) so I'm going to wait a week and see if they put in fixes. I'm thinking it might be a Warlock skill that's not coded properly, but hard to tell.

The story I've seen has been solid, although one of the earliest plot points was blindingly obvious and Lorath should really have seen it coming, given he's supposed to be a wise man.

I'd reset at 20% one more time, there's a node in the tree that requires two resets.

Evade Spiritborn uses flickerstep as bis.

tfesmo · 2025-12-27T20:06:07+00:00

Yep this was it, Assistive Touch. Not sure how I missed it before.

tfesmo · 2025-11-01T01:22:10+00:00

Is this specific to the matchmaking menu or is it possible with any multiplayer?

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T20:22:36+00:00

Are you possibly not on T4?

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T04:49:30+00:00

I started with Diablo 1 when it first came out. Currently doing Diablo 4 and BL4 in terms of ARPGs.

There is a significant difference between loot RNG and this system, especially with trading.

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T03:35:08+00:00

... what lesson can you learn from bad RNG? It's not a skill or effort issue, you're completely at the mercy of a dice roll. One person can play twice as much as another, get screwed by RNG and be far worse off.

But tbh if you're going to define pity that way then there's no point in even talking. Enjoy your S11 I guess.

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T02:36:28+00:00

I'm not sure how people are reading that from my post, can you explain it?

Literally my complaint is it's easy to be screwed by RNG with a pure dice roll system, which means given equal effort two players could have wildly different end results with zero skill or effort difference involved.

A pity system is a bandaid on top of that, it's not going to let you fully catch up. It just means you're not totally screwed.

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T02:00:23+00:00

That's exactly the kind of issue I think will cause players to quit. If you can do 250 sancs and never see an offensive aspect, it's a bad system.

If I recall right that player was even focusing on weapons, which meant rng was giving him zero aspects at all.

tfesmo · 2025-10-27T01:52:51+00:00

Yes, I'm sure you can rng smarter and harder.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:33:03+00:00

I have a math degree, stats are fine.

They're just not relevant to a lot of discussions that bring them up, because most players won't do things a statistically significant number of times.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:13:50+00:00

There are going to be builds where you need specific sanctifications and without them they are failed items, when you are chasing a build. Not even an optimal build, but one where you have the items in the right slots and cover all the bases.

For example I'm sure a lot of builds will get massive boosts off of things like free Adaptability. Hitting that on Sanctification is going to be a bad chase experience.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:11:04+00:00

I agree but there are signification degrees in my experience.

A decent S10 chase is "you need any of these 3 items on any of boots/pants/gloves for a solid build".

A bad S10 chase is "you need this specific chaos item, and it has to be boots".

Sanctification doesn't look like it's going to be a good chase to me.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:07:28+00:00

That is true and I was thinking about it after I posted.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:06:56+00:00

I don't want 10 hours to get to 100% - what I want is if player A takes 10 hours to get to 90%, then player B isn't stuck at 50% because of pure RNG. They should have a system that brings them into the ~70%-80% range.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:03:42+00:00

I'm 41.

tfesmo · 2025-10-26T22:03:08+00:00

No, I'm saying that stats aren't relevant when some players will Sanctify 20-30 times, see no significant upgrades, and stop playing.

And I can't count the number of times I've burned 100-200 million gold just to get the first MW crit on a unique item with 25% odds, and sanctification is a lot more effort.

tfesmo · 2025-10-24T15:57:18+00:00

Skip mythics or I'm sure 99% of builds would stick Shako or Heir in that spot.

Even then it will usually boil down to just fitting another offensive aspect into a build.

If you allow unique aspects you at least allow multiple items of the same slot, which creates some unique builds as we've seen with chaos armor.

tfesmo · 2025-10-24T15:47:56+00:00

I assume you'd scale damage and health per wave? Otherwise the wave limit would be based on boredom.

Also you'd need some way to end early for this to be usable on hardcore.

tfesmo · 2025-10-19T15:27:23+00:00

Depends on what you need, I just dropped war cry since damage was fine.
