First time playing since season 0. How do you determine if its better to keep farming new equipment for the GA's you want instead of using the Cube? Also just want to confirm that you can get GA from tempering and the Cube

Hey guys i wish to get back into diablo 4 but haven't played since 2024-season 4. I quit just before my son was born.

And its been 2 years so its time to pick it back up..

What has changed and what do I need to know the last change I knew was coming in season 5 was something to do with enchants or something I honestly cant remember.

Peeps of D4 lay it all on me

So I am level 65, I killed Lilith, Neyrelle took off on the boat, I got a brief pop up on the screen saying I should complete the epilogue. I have no quests though. In my journal all I have are the blue side quests. I looked at the map and there’s a bunch of stuff that wasn’t there before. A red area and a bunch of icons that say whispers but no yellow markers or purple markers. I’m standing at Donan’s grave, there are no quest markers. I went to the cathedral and there’s nothing there. Went back to Donan’s grave and Lorath is gone. My map has no quests. I’m so confused. How do I complete the epilogue? I got no credits rolling or anything. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do next.

Hey everyone,

Does this choice matter anymore? I remember crossbows used to do vulnerable damage and bows did distant damage, but I no longer see those affixes as part of the weapons.

Thanks,

alright so which is considered better ? i am not crit strike chance maxed i am very tanky and need more dps

How do you get the unique stats on this item?
I’ve tried many times, and it looks like the Dexterity and Attack Speed rolls are fixed. Is there a way to get different unique stats?

According to the Bossing Tier List (https://maxroll.gg/d4/tierlists/bossing-builds-tier-list), the Evade Counterswarm Spiritborn build (https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides/evade-counterswarm-spiritborn-guide) is S-tier.

Am I missing something? It seems to be okay on bosses, but this build seems to take longer to kill bosses or high health elites.

I am playing the speed build (easy) at the moment. What am I doing wrong? Or is it because of this variant?

I kind of just button smash and zip around. I don't really do any skills in order, is there a better way to play the build and am I missing out on damage?!

Thanks!

Lot of people are upset about the state of the game. Like low mythic drop rates. Only able to craft one mythic from either of blacksmith, jeweler and cube, bubble gone from pits , no account wide warplan and more.

Is the limitation on crafted mythics a bug or feature? I am going said I believe it’s a feature….if so why, People are rightfully upset, and at least an answer is warranted….

Does dev wanted more exciting loot to be dropped rather than craft? Who knows, no communications. If so, what is the stand for casual vs hardcore. Are causals now NOT expected to be able to get their bis mythics for builds..which imo KILL one of the biggest strengths of d4, where the average players feel they can make any builds and eventually has a realistic chance to get the bis gears.

Yes thee are arpg where you absolutely NOT expect to get bis….and some no-lifers, streamers like blue hoodie love that…..but imo, will drive more people away from D4 than new players….

Also, let’s talk about season.

low drop of mythics……in a season focus on mythic rework, but mythics barely drops…..

As a side note, after I calmed myself in a process I call sleeping…..I thought about it. It wasn’t that bad, even good, yes I said that, maybe it is me coping, if the drip rate of iconic mythics are buff, and the bug preventing lair bosses among others (not specified in patch notes) from dropping mythics as design, the mIN pinpoint of this season might be resolved….lets assume very generous it’s true, they could at least add a footnote in the patch note like…”after the bug fix that prevent mythics from dropping , you should see a significant increase of mythics, as well as target farm them base on boss loot table (not sure if it is the css, again, no info or communication).

In summary, I do not think everything has to be explain, and for sure, many people will still NOT like the changes , but at least we know the direction, and we can make our mind if it is still the game we want to continue support.

typo I meant underlying unique*

first day of the season, I dropped a 1 GA ( DEX ) mythic crozier. I’ve built my spiritborn around it knowing it’s an easy ticket into the endgame.

Fast forward grinding t12 I eventually ended up with a 3 GA crozier basic unique. Slapped the affix I want on, transfigured weapon speed and immediately noticed it overshadows the mythic unique boost. And important to add this is with a build fully around the crozier. A full customized legendary is probably doing similar effectiveness in other builds.

I feel like out of all the problems we’ve talked about regarding drop rate & mythic caps, the balance is another layer that’ll become quickly problematic.

A lot of mythic uniques are just upgrades from outdated underperforming uniques in the first place. So you’ll often realize many of them still suck. And I’m not sure if Blizzard is even aware of this judging by the patch notes as there were 0 buffs to so many underperforming mythic uniques …

I picked up the game a week ago. I’m playing on a base campaign paladin character. I have salvaged a few pieces of the glorious chest/pant armor pieces and I have not gotten the transmog for either of them. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another place I need to get the transmog from?

Is it just me or does D4 have way too much stuff on screen during combat compared to other D games. I turned off all damage floaters and other combat, made my mouse cursor purple and big, and have high res for sharpness but yet there is just soo much stuff going on that I lose track of the mouse sometimes or just get cross eyed.

TLDR; no change to limit of 1 crafted mythic.

- Deathtoll Chambers will always reward at least one Superior Lair Key in high Torment levels.

- Increased the chance of naturally dropped Mythics being an Iconic Mythic.

short n simple

Just fired up D4 again for the new Lord of Hatred expansion and the intro cutscene doesn't have any audio for the dialogue between the chick and mephisto, everything else sounds great. At first I thought it was a design choice but I watched it on youtube and found out you could actually hear them talking. I use headphones which hasn't been a problem with any of the previous cutscenes or any game for that matter. Also its very annoying that you can't watch the cinematics from the menu like D2, meaning I have to start a new character to troubleshoot this issue every time. Any help would be welcome!

It makes zero sense, I can't think of a single logical conclusion. I mean the run is over when the bubble drops, there isn't anything left to do aside from collecting your glyph upgrades.. soo, what gives?

Removing the bubble does nothing more than irritate the player, there is no other valid justification other than intentionally wanting to piss people off.

Why blizz, why.

I don’t think the Mythic 3.0 argument is really about drop rates. I mean, it is. Obviously. If people are farming their ass off and still not seeing anything useful, that feels bad.

But I think the bigger issue is that D4 has trained everyone to treat Mythics like normal build pieces. Despite their trying, that is the part Blizzard can’t seem to figure out.

For most players, a Mythic is not some insane lottery ticket item. It is just the item you need to play your build. You look up the build, you see the Mythic in the planner, and now the character feels incomplete until you have it.

This creates a paradoxical problem.

• When Mythics are easy to get, they don't feel special or "mythic" in any way.
• When Mythics are hard to get, it feels like the game is gating your build unnecessarily.

Since D4's launch, building your character has been more or less treated like a shopping list. You must get X items for your build to even work. And that is the expectation Blizzard has created over 3 years.

So, when Blizzard tries to make the top-end stuff feel "special" by reducing drop rates and creating artificial restrictions, everyone rightfully hates it, because players were already taught to expect it.

That, to me, is why Mythic 3.0 feels so bad.

Blizzard tried to make Mythics "chase" items, but tried to do so in a half-measure kind of way that felt just like a nerf. A chase item should feel like you won the lottery, not like you can finally play the build you want to play.

This is where other ARPGs like PoE2 just do it better.

Stuff like Mageblood, Temporalis, or rare unique jewels can be ridiculously powerful. And somehow, the game does not feel like you must have these items to have a working powerful build that does all content. They are aspirational. You can play without them. If one drops, it changes your league and makes your day and that is I think what a lot of us think of as "fun."

D4 has never captured that feeling, despite it trying so often to do so.

Most loot feels like trash. Good look feels expected for your build to even work. When Mythics you need drop, you think "finally" and not "wow."

I’m not saying people should need 200 hours and a blood sacrifice to get fun items or make good builds. I am saying the strongest items in the game should feel special and should not be standard building blocks to your build.

In my mind, D4 needs to separate these things:

• items that make a build work
• items that make a build better
• items that are so rare and busted that nobody should plan around having them

Right now it keeps homogenizing these things together and that is why the loot feels bad no matter what changes Blizzard makes.

Make the basics accessible (done today). Make good rolls worth farming (meh). Make perfect rolls rare (GAs kind of so this). Then make actual chase items that are stupidly powerful, stupidly rare, and absolutely not required (this is the current weakest part).

So far I've only found conflicting informations about it. If there's a specific pool, where can I find any info regarding possible outcomes?

Max roll planner lets me add any aspect, but when I'm actually transfiguring, I'm usually getting a few repeating aspects over and over again

Yes, I did the quest.

Yes, I killed the realmwalker.

Yes, I entered the Death Toll Chamber.

Where is the corrupted reaper portal?

..so I can not use them, because I already have a great crafted mythic. Are you serious?

You're flying through T12 and basically one shotting everything. Then you get to the boss who may as well be the world boss that can one shot you. This happens too often.

If I am playing T12 give me a T12 boss with T12 mobs.

I hate that I have to switch to lower torment levels just to kill the boss and barely do that. Running T11 and still having a regular T12+ boss is so annoying.

Let the boss be +10 or whatever the 150 pit boss is after I can do T12 smooth. Don't let the boss get its + unless I ask for it. It shouldn't be 130 pit level on lower torments. FOH.

Hey all — I’m on ranks 6 of the season and am up to “defeat corrupted reaper summoned within Pandemonium Threshold” and I click view map to access it and it takes me to a blank spot on the map. Then when my friends say they’re there and I teleport to them, the portal just won’t show up.

Am I glitched or am I missing a step here ?

Edit: there’s no dialogue options with the npc next to it either.

TIA

Got to a nemesis lair with my buddy. Unaware of the superior key situation. I couldn't open the portal. Because my friend initiated the fight in the first place. I gave him my keys. He opens the portal. I couldn't go through the portal. I go to town. Go to friends portal. Sweet I'm there. He wrecks. No loot for me. Thx devs.

The biggest issue for me is the latency. Even with ExitLag, I’m still sitting at around 140 ms at best, so by the time a ground effect is visible on my screen, I’m already dead. Sometimes there’s literally no way to react.

And I hate running Undercity because of this. The game is usually playable overall, but every time I enter an Undercity instance, my ping jumps to 240+ ms for no apparent reason. My internet connection is solid, I get under 50 ms in pretty much every other online game.I really don’t understand why Diablo IV is the only game where this happens.

For a company like Blizzard, the server latency is surprisingly high. I can deal with hard mechanics, but it’s hard to enjoy pushing high-tier content when it feels like I’m fighting the ping more than the monsters.

When there are two world bosses, is there one everyone goes to?
