I tried my best to like PoE 2 after everyone told me how much better this game is than diablo 4. But I bounced off hard. Can i still clear the season pass if I start a fresh character now? I played Diablo 4 like 2 years ago and already finished the main campaign and played a few characters to level 50 back in the day.

>>2243852
D4 season passes are seasonal, if you did a season pass in say season 1 for example its gone forever once season 2 comes out and no you do not get any extra credit or refunds, ect

>>2243852
Yea I know how jewy blizzard is. I am just asking how long it would take to clear the season pass that is going right now.

>>2243852
>>2243862
You should be able to clear it I imagine. I suggest doing infernal hordes since they still, for some reason, yield the best results when grinding battle pass XP (unless I'm missing another method).

idk about nostalgia since diablo 2 came out before I was born so I have only play D2R but the dlc adds a bunch of neat stuff so I say is worth it, D2R based version cost 40$ so you get the dlc basically for free.

>>2244695
I said am a linux gamer, isn't it obvious?
Seriously not poor.. I just hate spending money on games I stop playing after 2 hours in.
>>2244698
Yeah that's what I was wondering, for a newcomer it's basically a "free dlc".
I played it when it came out, and stopped playing after the 1.10 release a long time ago. I have much to discover I guess.
I was also wondering if the player base was big enough on resurrected?

I actually liked having based Hadriel as an angelic NPC. Shame if he leaves for high heavens, we could use more light attuned characters and since Tyrone is off to bumfuck wherever he's the only one heavily connected to the good guys.
>spoiler

>>2244930
angels are not the good guys

>>2245524
>angels are not the good guys
Really? Let's take a look at those "not the good" guys. The only ones that are actually bad guys are.
>Malthael
He outright believed that humanity shouldn't exist (See D3 RoS plot).
>Inarius
Who was a broken retard on a power trip thinking Sanctuary is his. Before the Sin War you could somewhat say he had a degree of care for humans but after Edyrem he dropped all the pretense and by the events of D4 mortals were just as useful to him as they were disposal.
And then you have
>Tyrone (pre and post de-angelization), Auriel, Itherael, Hadriel
They are actively on the good side of humanity and believe in them.
>Imperius
Yeah, he's a dick throughout our interactions with him in D3, Looks down on humans because of his pride, but even then he sends some of the angelic host to the battlefield of eternity to help us in Act V. Though, admittedly, the camp NPC - Mystic says Imperius' hatred for humanity could grow after Malthael is killed by a mortal so one could argue he is capable of taking the fight to us.

Not to mention angelic host at large that so far we have never had to fight nor did they show any particular animosity towards the player. Unlike demons and Lesser/Prime Evils. When it comes to demons you could make an argument that in Dark Road book the demon Kabraxis built a false church of light in Westmarch was performing all kinds of miracles thorugh his proxy chief-priest Vizjerei Cholik but I doubt you want to draw at straws that much.

So, all in all, yeah you can say (for now) angels are at the very least good guys and definitely not the bad guys. Thanks for reading my blog.

That's huge lore nvke. Based Anon bringing some receipts.

I really enjoyed season 11 bros. Maxed out the battle pass, did the seasonal journey and it took me a tad longer than the last few seasons (with the same effort), so it's something. And Paladin is an amazing class albeit a memberberry one, but he actually fits the theme of fighting infernal forces. Sure Castle node scales the damage skyhigh but that is nowhere near slutborn's levels of broken mess at its release. But to the point, very weird to say it but I'm left very satisfied this time around.

I got bored of d3 before the end of the first play through. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance?

Meh, who cares. You don't buy a remaster to play a game with old graphics anyway. Personally, I'd only toggle old graphics sparingly to check the differences in some locations.
An it's not like you can't do it in base D2R, that's still an option.

Might not be the right place to ask but I entered my boomer phase and purchased D2R. I am playing the very basic way. Login>enter world. I guess I am still online player, right? What happens if I want to play ladder? Do I need to create a new character? And is there even a reason to do so?

>>2248487
>What happens if I want to play ladder? Do I need to create a new character?
Yes.
>And is there even a reason to do so?
If you're brand new, not really. The reason these resets happen in these types of games is so everyone can restart at the same time and race to the top. As a new player, that wouldn't mean much to you.

>>2248488
I guess I can still play with a lot of people even if I am "normal", right? I used to play d2 almost 20 years ago and the real version had multiplayer and single player modes.

I am only thinking about it because there are several new Runewords that need ladder, I think. But I already found Warlock items and they are supposed to be ladder as well so I am uncertain. Also I guess a ladder character won't be able to use items I have found with my warlock, it is a completely different realm so to speak.

>>2248492
If you want to play with randos, ladder is probably the way to go I guess, since most folks play that mode.

>>2248500
Trading probably exist in both modes, right?

>>2248514
yes trading exist in both modes, and when you create a character it ask you if you want to make him ladder or not.

D3 shit the bed in so many ways it almost became fun to hate. The visuals and writing felt overly derivative and modern. D2 fans said it was too easy, shallow, boring. People were PISSED due to that auction house thing.
At this point it seems to serve no purpose. Anything you want out of an ARPG you can get better from somewhere else.

I am so fucking confused. I am playing my paladin and recently i started having a lot more movement speed for some reason. I dont know where it is coming from.
I just unequipped all my gera to check. have 30% movement speed from somewhere but i cannot make sense of where it is coming from. I cheked my paragorn board. I checked my skills. I dont know what i am missing. Where is a flat 30% of movement speed coming from.

How soon after LOH release before it gets a discount? I bought the base game on discount to try it out and ended up liking the endgame much more than expected. Unfortunately, the bundle, which I can't buy anymore, is cheaper than buying the expansion separately

Why are people praising sanctifying? This shit is ass. You click a button for some random crap. I have sanctified 10 unique pants and not a single one added an extra aspect. Why would anyone waste their time with this. Yeah, let me spend another day farming more unique that will likely brick.

>>2256081
>let me spend another day farming
you answered your own question

>>2256081

What kills the motivation for me is that there is nothing in the game that requires that level of min-maxing. The level of grind for perfect sanctification on every slot doesn't pay off whatsoever. I understand why they only want to keep it a seasonal mechanic.

Is there something similar to D3's demon hunter multishot? if not, any fun build to speedrun the pit/helltides?

I don't understand why it this game can't be hyped. I think it's blizzard's fault, they don't know how to hype diablo4... Look at WoW, their teams are hype experts, they flood every sloppa media (twitter and co) with engagement baits, protect and gift their streamers, do tons of interviews with tons of websites (US, EU, Asia), they do (kino cringe) inspirational video (we must protect Azeroth and defend the Sunwell, you the player are the most important character on Azeroth thank you so much)

>>2256940
blizz has spent a LOT of money to advertise d4
but at the end of the day, the d4 story is crap, and nobody can get hyped about a one-armed retard muleing a soulstone for a bloody dog

>>2256965
There isn't much to get hyped about. None of the characters have any personality. The demons have some semblance of something interesting but they all boil down to wanting to see people suffer. I am glad they added voice lines this season but all they say is they love pain, they love anger, they love to torment. Other than that, I personally don't care about any of the characters in the game. I can barely remember their names.

>>2256940
There are many reasons for it. For one they thought they could replace core audience for the series with a "modern" one, see how the marketing for base D4 and later VoH went. It's a bit different now I suppose but still. There are a few more off the top of my head:
>wokefying story - putting muh strong women leaders (even the Pally quest has a chick as a "mentor" of sorts), making male characters weak irresponsible or little asian chick holding Mephisto's soulstone like a dildo without repercussions etc.,
I don't need to have a stellar writing but anyone blessed with a modicum of reason will see day and night difference in this weird female-centric writing
>main characters are as memorable as summer rain and if anyone sticks out it's because they're either obnoxious or irritating
For me the exception would be Lorath and Ormus but only by association with D3 and D2 respectively
>due to "towns" being simply hubs with different npcs all of them are forgettable which makes the world we're playing in empty and the stakes are depracated by the fact we feel no attachment to those stock NPCs \
Can you name any of the blacksmiths/alchemists/jewellers in any major town let alone a settlement?
>gameplay slowed down to a crawl and forgetting about all QoL features and functionalities from D3
Which they are backtracking on
>After the hole "sex abuse debacle" and massive layoffs at major blizz studios D4 was given to people who either had a vastly different vision from previous devs or cared little about the project
Again, maybe they are starting to turn some things around by embracing D3 aspects but for instance - it takes them eons to implement new solutions/QoL and it gets mildly exasperating when they hide behind "testing and making sure it has its place in the game". It's supposedly a AAA studio with nigh infinite amount of money when it comes to the flagship project and they need 21 months to introduce damn armory from D3. C'mon...

The list goes on.

I am about to give up farming this stupid purified claw.

>>2257270
First off, don't go over 20 of each type of corrupted essence. That's some weird arbitrary cap which hampers your purified drop rates. Best to keep them at ~15. In my case it worked like a charm when farming Duriel. Before that I dropped only one purified essence and that's because I was always above 20 essences.

you can level to 60 in a few hours. then it's your choice of whether you want to do a meta build or not. you do eventually get to a point 40-100 hours in where you crush all content and either stop until the next season OR autistically minmaxx

>>2257974
Yeah you level up decently quick. But later on it's the same story as with path of gambling or any modern arpgs. You quickly start to blow stuff up, but you don't need to follow specific builds, instead you can make your own and competently clear the content.

Play rain of arrows and come back to me if your keyboard and mouse still work. Some builds require you to mash the buttons as fast as you can. It would be smarter to have some kind of auto casting settings. I switched back to dance of knives because it was easier on the fingers.

Yeah, it maybe could've been good, but early game has you interacting with the complex combat. You have to dodge, crowd control is powerful and there's room for special interactions between skills because you don't have the damage to blow mobs up instantly. Slowly as you progress you get more powerful assuming you're building correctly and eventually you're blowing up screens with mobs having little chance of fighting back.

D2 and by extension D2R are the ones that I liked. They don't go over the top with their features and there's high replayability value to both of them without wearing you down. Also I don't much care about Warlock being broken in D2R, It's just so happens that this class reaches annihilation threshold sooner than others. Besides ARPGs are all about blowing stuff up either way, it's how you get there that matters and how the game treats both you and your time.

guys, I have done it. I finally have enough runes for an Enigma. I have a 3socket Archon Plate already, but it only has 481 Defense. Should I try to buy a plate with 500+ defense for an Ist or so? The only issue is waiting out someone willing to supply one for that price. Otherwise, looking at the sales on traderie, anything Superior or 524+ Defense is at least 1 Jah and that's getting a bet expensive, though possibly reasonable.
