** Diablo 4 Thread **

I wouldn't say DDoS attacks are my area of expertise, but I do work in IT and have a pretty good understanding of how difficult they can be to deal with.

From your responses above, it was clear that you didn't really know what you were talking about, given some of your "suggestions".

Who hasn't worked in IT, I did for 15 years, but that's was 11 years ago when ddos attacks were basically non existent.

It's clear you have an issue with anyone that bad mouths your precious game though. Just because a suggestion isn't pin point accurate doesn't mean I have no idea what something is. As I already said I know what a ddos is I just don't know the specific details. Which is basically 99.9% of people.

By all means bring educational information on the matter but there's no need to be a **** about it.

And something that would solve the issue for a small network, or individual. May not be suitable for a multi national network like that of blizzard. It's not my job to solve, that's their job and so far they are failing at it.

More whataboutery.

This has nothing to do with you bad-mouthing Diablo 4. It was just a bit of an L-take assuming it wasn't a DDoS attack for some dubious reason.

It's not my precious game either, I've played it less than you, despite how boring you seem to find it!

Finally!!!!


Gameplay Adjustments​


Experience Rewards​

  • Significantly increased the experience awarded for completing Nightmare Dungeons.
  • Significantly increased the experience gained from killing monsters in Nightmare Dungeons.
  • Helltide chests now provide substantially more bonus experience when opened.
  • Significantly increased rewarded experience from completing individual Whispers across the board.
  • Fixed an issue where no experience was awarded for completing the hold out style event that can occur after finishing dungeon objectives.

This is nice too

General​

  • The Helltide Roaming bosses will now more consistently drop higher quality loot.
  • Players can now teleport to their Nightmare Dungeon directly through the map.
  • Weekly bonus caches from world bosses no longer have a level requirement for opening.


Bone splinters getting the slight buff and more essence generation is a nice welcome though the damage buff would be minimal tbh. Was expecting abit of a buff for corpse explosion after the nerf but it seems that's not gonna change anytime soon.

Aside from helltide bosses dropping higher quality loot more consistently, nope nothing has changed in that regard.

Gonna be the same pot luck.
Oh missed that one. Having no luck actually being online when one starts so my exposure to them is quite limited.
 
Wonder how much better the XP is now in NM dungeons.

currently on a queue to login to the game. Current ETA of 3 mins which its currently been about 10

There's usually quite a few from 6pm onwards unless you work all hours of the day. I usually can get into at least 2 from 6pm onwards. Check helltide.com to see when the next one will be, super handy if you're on a schedule.

Nope i don't its just i usually play when the missus goes to bed early or is on shift. Never seems to time itself right for me. I will be on tonight and cool enough to be on my PC instead of the Xbox so will see if i can find a group.

EDIT
1 up in an hour and 10, i can do that.

Nothing about drop rates or itemisation :(.


Its sad

Sorceror still squishy, no fix for missing defence stats. But it's not unexpected because I heard yesterday that sorceror won't get buffed for a long time - instead of just giving a base buff, blizzard plans to overhaul defensive stats but it's not coming till season 2 around October

No change to drop rate for unique level 85+ gear that takes 5 million hours to get

XP is 80% higher in nightmare dungeons with this patch. Certainly felt the difference playing this evening ... went from lvl 89 to 90 in just over an hour. Helltides used to be the main event prior to this patch, but now NM dungeons >>>> Helltides > Legion events > normal dungeons >whispers.
 
Had a nice bunch from the clan join me (Blifton) for a WT4 Helltide, ended up getting 4 or 5 paragon points and loads of legendaries and rares. I thought I was in for lots of upgrades but turns out only 1 was viable, a rare 2h staff with lots of int and +449 damage. I fully pimped it up (got a lucky +69 all stats on a reroll) and went from 3636 attack power to 4140. Quite a jump! I then spent millions on fully upgrading (hadn't done the last upgrade on most things) and gem slotting everything to bring me up to a new total of 4181 attack power. Feels like i've been waiting for far to long for this upgrade, hopefully the next ones won't be as long.
