I was able to play just until hitting Kyovashad, where I picked up a waypoint and saw that apparently there was a waypoint back in the first little town area with the chapel? I tried running back there to where it looked like there was supposed to be a waypoint, but nothing was clickable. It kind of looked like it was snow covered but hard to tell since the visuals are so blendy in this. Did I miss something or what?
I did the exact same thing (only remembering about waypoints in Kyovashad)--I ran back to the horror town and used the map overlay to find the original waypoint (it seemed fairly obvious for me).
Was running a Fireball sorc, but then I found a ring that restores mana everytime Chain Lightning bounces through me.
So I respec'd to chain lightning and now I murder bosses because the lightning just bounces back and forth between us restoring mana, allowing near constant casting.
Ooh, I need this.
I have one that gives a chance for CL to jump two more times.
One that makes me do 24% more damage when I have a Barrier up.
And one that has me do me do 10% more damage per second I stand still, up to 30%
And. . .I'm not sold on these world events. We are doing NO damage and everyone is getting wrecked and it's great. It's basically the open world boss fights from RIFT if you remember that game (oh man I loved that game).

I wonder if I was bugged or something because I was mousing over everything and nothing showed as a clickable waypoint.

damn near every MMO I've ever played has DST bugs year after year, I don't understand how it's this hard to figure out. Having said that, just get rid of the stupid time change.
How far along do you have to be to fight the world boss? I wonder if I could be ready for the 1AM one.
I tried at 14 and its nothing but one-shots. Also saw a level 9. We got her to 50% with a mix of not at all proper levels. At least you get experience.

Its for lvl 25 players and everyone wants to try it.
So the world boss was kinda fun, but I can see how a bunch of low levels showing up to it is kinda trolling. Got 8 legendaries from my kill, which feels good. I definitely died a ton during the first half or so but once I learned its telegraphs it wasn't that bad (as sorcerer, dunno how bad it is as a melee).
I got on at around 9:30 local time (U.S. CDT) and had no queue when I logged on. Server was purring right along, and everything was great. Now... server's not so great anymore.
Really liking what I'm seeing so far. The main question is how good the endgame replayability will be. In particular I'm wondering how the seasonal model will work, and how much they'll make you redo each time. But even if it launches rough like D3 did, I think they'll keep at it with the live service model and work it out eventually (like with RoS).
There are some big ol' chonky boi demons down here in
The Cradle.
These are the types of demons that I would expect to see in act 4 of D3. They don't seem to be holding back about sending the big stuff at me. Or maybe it all gets even bigger still...
When i got up "queue" time was less than 1 min... "queued" time is nearing 3 hours now heh.
Has to be a bug. I logged in like a few minutes before the World Event and got in immediately.
Heh they were telling people not to requeue too. Ty it wasnt much of a time loss because i got chores done while waiting heh
Yeaaah the unfortunate stuff about open beta stuff like this is that typically doing the worst thing for the community -- spamming the login servers constantly and just staying logged in while AFK if there's no inactivity timer -- are the best ways to actually get in and playing. It works too well with entirely too many online/MMO launches, while causing greater chaos and more server problems overall.

How does it run for lower specs? I still have a 1080.
I have a 1080 card as well and it's mostly fine and smooth but transitioning areas can be rough, though that's probably just assets loading in. Sometimes fights drop frames but usually really solid. Drivers at launch will probably solve 99%.
What do the skill trees look like? I saw a playthrough on a Barbarian and that shit looked crazy complicated. Like D2 with mastery points.
Skill trees look way more complicated than they are. It's actually super dumbed down and each tree basically has two choices: pick one skill, pick one specialization. Sometimes you might want two skills from one node and other passives to support but deep skill building like PoE or Last Epoch this is not. My wife, who has never played an arpg before could probably put together a half decent build just by reading the descriptions.

Yeah that is true heh. I know I wouldn't want to try to deal with blizzard level ddos. The game is too good though. If they can keep the game somewhat fresh this will destroy everyone.
The game runs great on a GTX 1080. I had some texture pop in on cutscenes. The game goes a good job of scaling things.
I am now at level 13. I am doing side dungeons and side quests. The Act I boss seemed too tough.
If you are a Sorcerer, definitely get chain lightning. It is great for crowd control. You can spam it and kill a bunch of monsters at once.
Fire sorc seemed easy mode before I got hydras, once you get hydras it totally was easy mode.
Basically, you really need those AoE spells so you can hit a bunch of monsters at once. I was putting too much skill points in my shooting spells.
As a fire sorc I just pumped the fire generator and fireball, and then nothing else before hydras. Take the pierce on burning enemies to basically have constant pierce on everything.
I also did a ranged rogue and a melee rogue at demo *end* game. Felt the melee one with flurry shadow imbue and twin magic felt the best but was very cooldown bursty.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Anyone else been playing rogue? I initially picked up barrage and it served me well for a while until I got a unique with penetrating shot and oh boy does that skill do some work. Got my clan request in.
Really, the game is not quite worth the money they are asking for it. I was tempted to get the Deluxe edition, but that is $90.
It is just more of an open world Diablo. A super sized Diablo.
I does not quite seem like as much of a spectacle as Elden Ring, but they are not the same kind of game.
I mean elden ring and diablo are like miles apart as far as mechanics go. About the only thing they share is the open world, and even then diablo feels more destiny open world than elden ring.

One of them is casting some sort of sparkly light-wall spell. Anyone have any idea what the spell does?

You can try it anytime but even at 21 Im getting one shot from everything but its alot of fun
It's level 25, I wouldn't show up below like 23 or so, tbh.

Enemies were level 30, but we still managed. Think the players were all 25
It was pretty cool
