If you roll the new spirit character, can you hop straight into the new parts of the story mode or do you have to slog through vanilla D4 to unlock it?

Obviously I could cherry pick one of my other characters that's already max level to do it, but don't want to if I don't have to.

You can have it drop you straight into Act VII (the new part of the campaign)

Finished the campaign and it is very underwhelming.

Running some of the new quests/activities and there are a bunch of bugs I've run into. Things disappearing so I can't interact with them, and one quest I can't finish due to an infinite loading screen any time I try to go to the place I have to go.

Dam I guess over been lucky. Nothing game breaking and enjoyed VoH. Digging the new class and almost ready to head into T2. Love how hard the scaling is.

I thought the story was pretty lackluster and ended so abruptly right when it was getting interesting. I wish they included a little bit more.

Really enjoying the class but I wish they were more balanced. Just about to jump up to T2. I want to try the new evade build but it just looks so broken and I'm afraid I'll lose interest quickly if it gets too easy. The giant centipede is awesome though.

I ran into a few quests that are broken but nothing too bad. In the last fight the boss bugged out and everyone just stood around for almost 5 minutes before deciding to start fighting again. It was frustrating but pretty funny

The raid dungeon is pretty fun. Just completed it

I will eventually get to play. New job, and all the projects associated with relocating to a new house have kept me super busy.

Hot Tip 🥵

You can get massive amounts of obducite after Hordes by feeding the chest one ether at a time.

Technically, this is not a bug, as the chest says that giving your remaining ether produces obducite, so it is behaving as advertised.

That said, Blizzard will probably…

I'm being told that's already patched

So quick to patch issues where the player gets a benefit and completely disregard bugs where players do not benefit.

What build is everyone playing this season? I'm working on the dancing knives build.

The campaign has bugged for me so I can't finish the expansion (and some other quests). Boo this expansion. Boo it.

That does suck. What spot did it bug out for you?

Been doing that one, it just feels underwhelming. I have most of the gear but just don't feel like it can consistently put out high dmg. Was going to switch but I don't think I have much left in me for this season.

Wait, there is trading if unique's now?

Yuuup! Just don't do anything to it like add a socket, etc. It won't be account bound until you do.

You can trade uniques, you can't trade mythics

uh...holy crap. Just had a 4 star penitent greaves drop. Never seen that before...

Changing build to this tonight.

These guys that find mystics so fast annoy me.. I'm still missing 2 for my build and it's been hard finding them. I recognize shroud just got patched it last night, but I still can't find my helm.

Everyone knew that spiritborn was going to be broken this season as a new char. Blizzard will nerf it so hard that it will be unplayable next season and then it will be tuned to a normal level for the third season, just in time for a new char to drop and rinse/repeat.

Works so much better if you can find a group of others to run these with. Multiplying your chances by 3 really helps find them quickly.

I do, but the drop rate is really low. We've been running 110 pits right now. I have to stand on the side lines bc I don't have all my gear and I'm about 100paragon behind them.

I'm probably going to just have to craft the chest piece and hope I find the helm.

I ran a lot of bosses today and got 4 mystics but they are all garbage ones. I don't have enough runes or gold yet to craft but that new chest piece looks awesome.

I'm at put 65 so far at about paragon 150. Doing everything solo except the boss runs. Loving the new party finder for boss runs at least

I haven't been able to sell my 4 GA penitent greaves. I'm not even asking much but I guess they just aren't useful I suppose.

What are the stats on them?

I think I like where loot is now. Chasing ancestrals feels good to me, but I'm not quite at that point where I'm chasing multiple GAs. But it's taken a lot longer to get to that point (which is good). Mythics seem way harder to get than last season. I think there's a middle ground they need to settle at.

Season mechanic seems completely useless and with no spark, I don't care for the rep. Seen some stuff that the opals don't make any difference at all. I hope that they stop ****ing with loot and start implementing good season mechanics, because it's going on 3 (4?) seasons now where the mechanic is an afterthought.

I like the changes to the endgame activity. Blast pits to level glyphs, and not worry about NMD mechanics. It's quick to get them to legendary. Blast hordes for MW materials (and thankfully they simplified it to one material). Do undercity runs for boss mats. I wish hordes gave more gold. And the basic mats still need another pass because they are by far the most limiting factor.

Runes powers are fine. Wish they'd just give us the normal 4 sparks for desired mythic. Getting 6 legendary runes of a specific type feels impossible. I gambled my sparks and got a garbage mythic

Found a hellspire right as helltide was ending. The helltide event stopped, but the hellspire just kept on going. Eventually we had about 7-8 people show up to wail on it. Infinite mobs, and I got 10 paragon levels plus got my zakarum cred filled the rest of the way up.

Dam. Have all the incense/options going?

Last season was much better imo. They need to find a sweet spot somewhere between this new progression and last season. Felt really boring this time.

Yes

Apparently, some blaster/streamer hit paragon level 300 after 184 hrs.

Lol... no way i'm doing that. I was able to fairly easily complete the season journey, which is usually all I try to do in a season. If there are any other rewards, I'll usually try to do those as well.

I think it only felt boring because I though the expansion story was boring. If it was just the standard leveling loop, it would have been more engaging and quicker.

I think the loop was good this season, the only thing I'd change is make ancestral legendaries drop more frequently. Felt like I never could find a good ancestral legendary upgrade. Mythic and uniques were easier to find. I don't feel the need to grind to 300 because you can blast t4 at low 200s
