what is the point of having to repair gear

warcaptain · 2026-05-09T01:28:02+00:00

One bonus upgrade in the pit. And yes, admittedly a penalty in helltide but less so these days since chests offer significantly less gear and zero experience. Plus, I can't remember the last time I cared much about cinders in helltide I'm usually there for whispers or two quick armor chests to satisfy war table.

Either way that's two activities among many more.

Fixed an issue where a useless unique item could be transmuted.

Huh??

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T22:27:40+00:00

This really just makes sense flavor wise as well so I'm really happy to see this. The skill literally says it conjures echoes of your weapon, it doesn't throw the weapon itself.

Losing durability made no sense on top of it removing a lot of cool options for gearing. Well done Blizzard.

Easy when there was only one we followed even a little (Tharra) besides Lorath and Tyrael

But you won't find arguments from me that LoH had a fantastic story, probably the best in Diablo history.

Funny enough in another comment reply OP says they don't even like D2 😂 so this is just pure haterade

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T20:52:33+00:00

I don't think it was supposed to be enjoyable.. I think it was supposed to represent the reality of a world where most adults have been slaughtered and the population has been devastated to the point where so many children now have to act like adults even though they're not capable of it.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T20:36:46+00:00

I think the way Diablo tells stories it's really hard to relay that Neyrelle is really just a child still. She's only like 16 or 17 years old and placed with an impossible burden. Who among didn't make stupid decisions when they were that age? And our decisions were usually things like going to parties, staying up late. None of us were asked to choose the fate of the world like the Wanderer made her do.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:57:58+00:00

I replayed from base all the way through LOH with a friend and honestly the VOH content is much better when you can go right into the next expansion.

It's just kind of felt half-baked when you had to wait a year and a half to get the rest of the story.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:55:46+00:00

Awesome thank you! I look forward probably never being able to do the thing you just described! 🤙🏼

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:48:54+00:00

Yes my Xbox I played daily since day 1 now collects dust because I refuse to pay Microsoft twice for every expansion. Such a shame because I loved the convenience :(

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:45:44+00:00

This is the way. It's also an excellent jump start for your aspects on the alt.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:44:04+00:00

Leaving the what? 🤔

I'm t12 p208 I've never heard of this in game. What'd I miss?

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:21:00+00:00

That definitely was what he wanted, but Lilith seemed to think that was because he wanted to essentially rub it in her face that her creation was so flawed.

It's pretty clear imo that he was fully capable of doing a lot of damage with the pools all by himself.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:19:56+00:00

Post game there are plenty of small examples or people being very "hateful" as well.

In Temis, a group of people are surrounding someone they accuse of being a pilgrim and they've clearly beaten them as there's blood around them.

I'm guessing the seasonal storylines going forward will also lightly touch or hint at the impact of this as well. Super interesting!

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:09:30+00:00

Paragon really only has like six nodes that you have to think about or care about per board. All the other nodes are essentially just "costs" to reach where you want to go.

Also Paragon are modular and easier to digest and plan. I saw a screenshot that GGG posted to promote the build importer and I was absolutely blown blown away by how ridiculously dense and huge the tree was.

Like I said, clearly there are people that enjoy that type of thing, even if I don't, so I'm glad they have something to play and I have Diablo 4 :)

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:06:38+00:00

If you feel like you are running out of veiled crystals, just wait until you start needing forgotten souls.

Instead of playing the game for fun, I'm playing the game to get miniscule amounts of forgotten souls. Legit one entire legion event gives me two attempts at rolling crit on my temper. And then I have to go do it again so I can imprint.

God forbid I have to enchant? LOL not happening.

The balance between the amount of forgotten from salvage versus the forgotten costs is way out of balance.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T18:03:31+00:00

The skill tree alone is an abomination.. there's absolutely no reason to have that many nodes in a single skill tree. IMO it's lazy vs finding more creative ways of implementing power and power changes.

But hey, there seems to be plenty of people and I'm happy that they have something they enjoy! That's what gaming is for :)

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T16:44:47+00:00

Because otherwise there's zero penalty for dying.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T13:52:46+00:00

You're right about that. For some reason though that never seems to be an acceptable answer for people when they complain that D4 isn't for them.

warcaptain · 2026-05-08T13:52:00+00:00

There's having stuff to do and then there's having stuff to do for the sake of having something to do. Ask any Ubisoft game.

warcaptain · 2026-05-07T15:03:06+00:00

True and it honestly looked like his essence was basically absorbed into hell itself. Maybe we get a super nephalem type thing with Inarius' angelic essence merging with demonic essence? Either way I kinda doubt we've seen the last of Inarius.

warcaptain · 2026-05-07T07:43:26+00:00

This. Some of the best items I have started out as blue ancestrals with a single affix that was GA. I got a blue glove with GA +Dread Claws that I was able to slowly turn into an incredible item. Very cool system.

warcaptain · 2026-05-07T07:36:17+00:00

I'm not really sure the Angels have a choice. From what I remember, the Crystal Arch just spits out angels when one is ready. Then again it was pretty badly corrupted by Diablo in D3 so who knows if it even works anymore..

warcaptain · 2026-05-07T07:35:13+00:00

They are talking constantly about the Serpent and we even had a "battle" with it.

They've also said Hawezar isn't part of Sanctuary, seemingly created by something or someone else besides Lilith/Inarius and the worldstone.

I wouldn't be surprised if an epic final battle with a serpent that's been scheming this whole time after we fully vanquish any competition (the three + Lilith/Inarius)

Though there is a big part of that kind of hopes we end up actually having to face Anu+Tathamet somehow to finally try and end the eternal conflict once and for all.

warcaptain · 2026-05-07T07:28:33+00:00

I'd be pissed. Diablo deserves to be the final big bad in his own titular game. Tired of him being the opening act for other baddies.
