Have to find your classes unstoppable. Gear and otherwise. Barb has a shout and a at least one aspect that gets you outa a jam like that.

Yeah I guess i'll just have to find a way to squeeze it in. It just kind of caught me off guard cause it was never an issue til a couple times yesterday and a lot of times this morning, but I got up to level 66 with my only issue being a bit squishy for wt4 in the low 60s. Now i'm not squishy but I get chain cc'd, despite not really changing my gear. I switched my chest earlier but put the aspect back on it instead of my empty boots so now i'm still without a boots aspect til I find more aspects and a new chest =/

So for the people who are higher level, how are you dealing with being perma cc'd by cold enchanted mobs and shit? Perma cc wasn't ever a problem for me til the last 2 days, now since yesterday morning half the big packs I run in to (events or dungeon groups or anything) just spam cc me (mostly freeze from cold enchanted mobs) so much that I can barely even pop potions in between one wearing off and the next hitting, and dodging doesn't matter because I dodge one or two but the other 5 still land at my dash ending spot.

I thought you was a druid for some reason. Sometimes it depends on the build, as kiting with the chilling unique shoes is a strat. But as a Druid, Ive got two actions that free me from crowd control. One being Grizzly which is almost 100% uptime now for me.

You can farm a headhunter by grinding mindless maps over and over which a lot of people find boring as fuck and others like me (and I think kythik) love. To farm renown I have to spend a lot of time running to dungeons, stashes, anvils, towns, areas on a massive world map on a horse that gets stuck everywhere and doing a shitload of side quests. It's a completely different type of grind. Far more tedious. And of course a hh makes an incredibly impactful difference in poe either using it or not (eg selling it). Maxing renown gives you nothing really impactful other than 20 paragon points.

If maxing renown is boring as fuck and gives you nothing impactful then why the fuck is everyone crying about how mandatory it is to slog through and facepalming/morooning all my posts saying not to poopsock it?

Ya I am a druid but i'm playing storm druid with no shapeshifting stuff. Using the lightning first skill (storm strike maybe?), landslide, cyclone armor, hurricane, poison creeper and cataclysm and then the key passive that uses opposite skill sometimes.

What’s the main thing to get character power from? I had some people PL me to 70 (rogue.)

I followed the build guide on max roll for TB build. I’ve got all ancestral items and a couple of the proper imprints on items. And I’m able to kill just about anything in WT4, albeit slowly. I saw a level 62 dude in WT4 blowing up elite packs in open world way faster than me.

Are the glyphs for the paragon board one of the first things to level up? I’ve done literally one nightmare dungeon.

The majority of power comes from multiplicative stats. This video should explain damage buckets pretty well.

Also yes glyphs are giant power spikes. Get them to L15 to max radius then to L21 eventually.

Another big ass fuck of retardation for Sorc at least is out of the 6 skills we are allowed to use 4 of them are just flat out required.

Teleport, Flame shield, ice armor, frost nova are just flat out needed regardless of spec, element, build you choose.

Another example of glaring flaw retard design and no real customization options.

I don't think that the situation of earning all of that one time is much of a problem and I don't mind it yes it's pretty boring and such but it's part of the game and I'm down with it.The issue is solely 'are we going to have to do it again?' If we are going to have to do it again that's where my problems lie with the game, but if they say that it will carry over between seasons and it only needs to be done one time then that will be a very big positive thing. One of the few at least.

Ackshually I'm level 48 and other ARPGs have the same issue so Diablo 4 is the greatest. - Inbred forum posters.

Yeah it's pretty balls, but when the end game is solely mobs that CC and become unstoppable you gotta do what you gotta do.

Oh wow half their existence? You mean when the game had taken off and tencent got involved 2018? 8 years after they started alpha and were crowdfunding money to keep things going? A fact that can be looked up by any idiot who can read at a third grade level?

God damn I hate ad homs but you cock suckers are so fucking wrong all the time and double down on the most easily verified shit.

Do you need more links?

Do you want to tell me how tencent traveled back in time to fund them and that they were never a small company all along?

I said "roughly" half - I swear, nobody fucking reads shit anymore and just spergs out to their pre-confirmed notions about a topic.

So the game wasn't really popular/profitable(gee, I wonder why) and pwooor wittle indie devs weren't making money until a MEGA CORP swooped in to improve things? Also, Tencent has been invested into GGG prior to the majority takeover in 2018. So, they've had "MEGA CORP!!!" monetary help for almost their entire existence.

Why would you have a problem with losing progress on a grind that "gives nothing impactful"? You can't have it both ways. It can't be mandatory while also giving "nothing impactful".

Who has said its the greatest? You clowns keep posting this shit while screaming that anyone saying the game is fun is the one making stuff up.

Why are you feeling defensive about a comment made for inbred forum posters?

-

Plenty of us have said the game is fun and/or has its fun moments. Almost all of my criticizing posts state that the game has good parts.

It's the shitty end game and lack of basic features that even the previous diablo games have that is the crux of the problem and none of it deserves being defended even if you aren't playing the game or have ever played the game. Demand more and keep businesses accountable for partially finished products (LOL YA RIGHT).

It makes a difference, a marginal one, but one nonetheless. But given the time effort into doing it, it's nothing impactful. It's not worth it doing it over and over again and so yes, I'd probably be fine not doing it, since I wouldn't be playing the game anyway.

Big yes to the glyphs, that's your main growth 50+. Kinda sandbagged yourself by neglecting them for 20 levels. You can get paragon points and get yourself a "build" but you are missing huge multipliers now and you're going to be playing catch up for a while.

LOL no you didn't. Act 3 was added in 0.1. Torment league was 2014ish and well into 1.0 - which is when they added Dominus, Scion, etc.

I played closed beta, I think you could apply on the website or something. The last boss was the Act 2 boss.

I checked the thread here and you can see me talking about not wanting to play because of character wipes around the time Act 3 launched.

Unfortunately I think the very start of the game may have been on the original forums, I think that we only got an archive of rerolled here. I may be wrong on the forum migration timings.

Getting bored. Yesterday was the first time I logged in and wasn't really interested in jumping into any of the events. At 74 my druid walks through t4 helltide and opens the 2-3 boxes in 20-25 minutes. Pushing nightmare tiers isn't very fun solo and not very rewarding, so meh. Leveling via whispers/dungeons is boring on my 2 level ~30 alts. Holding out on starting a Rogue until the season starts so I have something to look forward to. This is where some kind of battle pass would be motivating, because i'd have a reason to do things other than 'more paragon' or 'just 26 more levels!'

A couple friends just started, so playing with them as they go through the story on alts has been kinda fun but still meh and they're slow

Glad to hear there's another difficulty level likely coming.

Yeah, I figured that was the case.

I knew something was off.
