How to join the clan,
The Merch Hungers.
1. Joining the clan is a multi-step process. Once you request to join, I or an officer have to accept your request. Then you will get an invite that you need to accept. You wont auto join once you have been approved.
2. You have to opt into quick join in this game. It's not on by default like D3 so your friends/clan mates cant just jump in.
Still have a bunch of people who have requested the invite, but have not accepted it!

Legendary items & Aspects
- Items can add ranks to skills, going past the cap or providing a skills you don't have.
- Legendaries provide benefits that can roll on almost* any “rare” item, be claimed from a dungeon as an Aspect, or extracted from an item by the Occutlist. Then you can imprint the aspect onto another rare item.

Defensive - Shield, Helm, Chest, Pants, Amulet
Offensive - Amulet, Weapon, Gloves, Ring
Resource - Helm, Amulet, Ring
Utility - Shield, Helm, Chest, Amulet, Gloves, Ring

- The campaign only needs to be completed once, and Lilith statues only need to be found once. Statues map: https://d4builds.gg/map/
---
- World tiers (initially two) allow you to raise the difficulty of the game in return for more reward. Tier 3 has sacred items and uniques, tier 4 has ancestral items.
- Nightmare Dungeons: there are keys that will bring a specific dunegon area to higher level, with modifiers. These will allow you to level Glyphs, which are kinda like legendary gems in the form of a passive skill you socket into the paragon board.
- Helltides: From world tier 3 on, a map region can be consumed by a helltide, empowering the monsters and allowing them to drop Cinders, which can be used on chests scattered around the area to receive a specific reward, or a mysterious chest with multiple items: https://helltides.com/
- Whispers of the Dead: Sorta like bounties, events scattered around the world worth 1, 3, or 5 favors on completion. 10 favors can be exchanged at the Tree of Whispers for your choice of a loot cache.
- PVP is available in a select few zones. It is completely optional and only provides cosmetics.
Gameplay
- Large, open map with world events and other players. Dungeons are solo or party of four.
- Controller support confirmed for PC, including option for Bottom-Left or Bottom-Center action bar
Noteworthy game options:Sound
- In-game Loot Sounds can be turned off for all or certain types
- You can raise the threshold for loot sounds to occur from Common to Magic/Rare/Legendary/Unique
- You can enable sounds for ambient loot (which I think means if you left the area and walked back it would play again)
- Error dialog can be replaced with a noise, or turned off entirely.
Gameplay
- Channeled skills can be turned into a toggle
- You can reduce strobing lights if that's a concern
- Advanced tooltips can be enabled to show property ranges and whether they are additive/multiplicative
Controls
- On PC, movement, basic attack, and interact are all on left click by default. You can disable that and set them individually, or rebind the basic skill and enable “move and interact” on left click.
( Note that you can swap between KBaM and Controller seamlessly, at any time, just by using it )
- Controller lets you lock-on to targets by tapping right-stick (AMAZING for kiting playstyles)
- Likewise, “Persist Target Lock” will automatically lock onto something in your next pack of enemies
Social [ and Clan! ]
- Cross platform play can be disabled, but it locks you out of the Clan feature
- NPC dialog can be removed from the chat box
-
Local chat is joined by default, but you can leave it
- The "Clan Member Comes Online" notification is off by default
-
Quick Join is off by default. Some of us used this a lot in 3 so it's good to be aware of.
Accessibility
- Screen shake and combat hit flashes can be disabled
Diablo II: Ressurected
It's actually
happening happened, it's out now!! Same game mechanics, new graphics, along with increased stash size, an auto-pick gold option, and controller support!

Right, but me seeing few people, again, isn't because there are 2-3 people in my "instance layer".
There have to be at least tens of thousands of people on simultaneously that are in WT1 Act 4ish like I am. This game is stupidly popular -- I'm not seeing few people due to a dearth of population in my "instance layer" or whatever terminology you prefer. Like there were 3-4 people on my personal friends list at the same state of the game yesterday -- I'm confident those 3-4 people don't make up 100% of that "instance layer" total population, or 10%, or .01%.
And I think that's awesome! Give me less people -- it would be cool to be able to pick that, but eh not a big deal to me. I got it due to whatever matchmaking RNG stuff is going on, and I'm cool with that even if it's unintended.
Yeah, exactly! This is what i was trying to express. I didn't see many people -- which is fine with me -- and it's related to something going on with their phasing. There are so many people playing that there's no way it was because there are only like 10 "compatible" players that can be in the same phase as me -- it's not that everyone but like 4 people are done with WT1 as was suggested earlier -- just that for whatever reason, the phase I was in didn't have very many people in it out of the pool of total compatible players. It's not a big deal at all, some RNG is definitely involved, and over time I'm sure I'll see a bunch of people.
It was great to go 30 levels wandering the over map only seeing one or two xXSSJWeedLordVegetaXXs, even if I was maybe supposed to see more.
I like them - the choice of three reward boxes satisfies my lizard brain.
HexDex and I were complaining about this the other day, it's so weird. WHY?
Run whatever makes sense for you, have fun. D4 isn't going anywhere, no need to play at 100% efficiency at all times.
For me, my order of importance is definitely: NMD's, Helltides and then Whispers in that order.
e: To clarify, because Helltide's are a timed rotating event, if one is up, I will go start it as soon as I'm done with my current NM. I'll grind it for it's uptime, then go back to NM's. The mats are really important for upgrading higher tier items.
Zek posted this in the last thread, it should absolutely be in the OP.

Makes Helltides so much nicer, you basically will always know where the Mystery chests are.

Going to try to prune some of the hype-type info next.
It seemed to me that the open world was more sparsely populated during the campaign than it was afterwards. They mentioned during development that they intentionally want the world to feel sparse because it's Diablo.
Am very much enjoying the game, probably start a Druid now.
Just curious, is that a saying?
Like 5% better, 10, 20%? At what point does sheer stats/item level outweigh losing a couple ranks of your core spender or even worse a helpful imprint?
It really, really depends, but by the 50's I was focused entirely on correct stats and good imprints. It's almost never worth losing a well rolled item with a good legendary power for a few armor or iLvl.
I think the exception here with a caveat is your weapon. Get the most damage you possibly can and it'll make life much easier. The secondary affixes are also very important but generally if it's high damage and the stats mostly jive with your build it'll run smoother than lower-level but BIS affixes. I've found a couple of good wands and focuses but my damage output is just lackluster compared to a really well rolled 2 hand staff I've had for a good 5 levels now.

Frozen enemies being chilled makes sense, chilled enemies being slowed could go either way 🤔
So I’ve begun the search for a new main. Yesterday I tried a bit of rogue, which is the one class I never played during any of the betas. I went for daggers/melee and it felt pretty good. Nice and quick and speedy. I also grabbed poison trap and at least at very low level (8 or 9) it seems incredibly strong.
Tonight I rolled a druid. Tried both werewolf and bear. Bear was fun because Pulverize is just insane. But it’s really slow feeling too. Wolf was quicker and a bit squishier of the two, but I think I liked it better just because it was so quick. I got to 14 tonight on druid. Picked up Rabies right at the end and tried it a few times, just on normal mobs. Hard to gauge it’s value on such low health targets. I need to try it on a boss or a big elite.
Tomorrow I might roll a necro and take that for a test drive. I played it in beta and liked it, but that was pre minion nerf.
Anyway, my sorc is parked in WT3 but I’m just not really enjoying her so I’m on a quest to find a new main.
well, the analogy works
