I mean, of all the things to take a jab at Blizz, that is not one, its the EXACT same system that D3 had :D
wasn't it close to 23 gigs or something?
Also, it is recommended to delete your beta/alpha/Early Access builds and re-download the full release to resolve some issues
Are you all saving any of the Enneracts that could be useful for alts or just vendoring them for Primordial Affinity? It seems the latter is what I should do but since these are random drops, maybe hang on to useful skills that I think I'd like to have for other chars.
Of course this is dependent on whether our 'Personal' chest is shared between chars, which I assume it is.

Is there any type of matchmaking for this or is it all invite only?
Just got in and made a character, seems like it has some cool ideas so far (only lvl 2). I grew tired of grinding seasons in D3 awhile back but this seems fresh enough to hold my interest for a bit. Plus dodge roll on PC!! It's fun!

Does the balance between 'classes' feel way off to anyone else? So far I've made a bow character, who became a dagger character, an ailment caster, who became a straight damage caster, and a two handed warrior.
And mother of god is the two handed warrior leaps and bounds above every other archetype i've played. Like, I can't even believe i'm playing the same game any more levels of stronger.
My mage would use all of her willpower and half the mobs in a group would still be alive for me to whittle down with basic staff attacks.
Meanwhile my warrior just jumps in and whirlwinds everyone down in like half a second. The ability damage scaling when using a two hander in particular seems to be off the charts, as when I tried going dual wield or sword and board the warrior felt much more like all the other characters.

I really think that's a popular misconception for this genre. Can you imagine The Elder Scrolls 6 and Destiny 3 devs removing CC and saying "you mostly play in first person anyway so you never really see yourself outside of vanity cams."
Essentially, it's something a lot of people care about that helps them connect to their characters. And I really think a lot of players would love it in this genre too.
Yeah the required space is 23gig but it's downloading 16. I read it's better to do a clean install of the retail version as it helps with a few issues. I just uninstalled and reinstalled.
Is that all i needed to do?
So I guess that answers my earlier question, Primordial Affinity is quite valuable. It seems like it is, just wasn't sure if you get a lot later on.
at lvl 31, a stat respec costs 15k out of my 71k gold. A passive respec at the same level costs my 770 out of currently 1660 affinity, almost half. Plus if you want to quickly level up a skill you havent used, thats another affinity dump, gold not so much.
for now its a system sorta like the diablo rifts, the usual random dungeon with various affuixes to make it harder and get better rewards.
there's also a meta-system where you play a sort of "board game" to build your town to get various bonuses (including for example, the 6th skill slot)
I dont see why not, its just an item.
always, no unfortunatly, but press Alt and everything lights up for a few seconds
I'm a little confused about this. I can sell skills to the lady whether I have the skill or not. Is there some other selling option for skills you have a duplicate of?
Any suggestions on best stats to focus on for a Mage?
I don't know exactly what type of Mage build I'm going to do, but I'm thinking either Lightning focused, Poison type focus, or Summoning

if you have the skill learned, just right click it in your inventory and u get the affinity for it
It currently has Steam integration which you see each time you attempt to login online. I can't speak to whether they plan for a non-Steam version though I haven't seen anything saying they are.
I just looked back at the Kickstarter to see why I funded it like 5 years ago. I knew there were some unique aspects that would have peaked my interest over just a Diablo clone.
This was originally supposed to be a full open world action RPG with tons of destructibility. They were really pushing both these things, saying the game world would be 4 square kilometers that you could fully explore, and there would be all sorts of insane real-time destruction of not just small things but massive parts of levels. Also AI that would dynamically deal with this destruction.
It's pretty crazy that they started developing that game and we ended up with a straight up Diablo clone with none of those features.
I mean, the game is fantastic. But this is nothing like what they said it would be when I kickstarted it.

Do you get more affinity doing this than you do when you sell it to the lady in town?
Or just buy it and sell it back to her.
No, it is the same amount.

Likely ambition made them get ahead of themselves and came to realize it wasn't possible.
I just killed the first boss and my first impression is it's OK. Some of the skills feel a little clunky to me (Bleeding Edge for example) and the animations are a little stiff in some places but overall it's decent, a step under Diablo and PoE, but good. The UI is also a bit clunky with items sometimes taking a while to sell and buy, and the inventory not always responding when you open it needing you to click in the window to "activate" it.
On the more positive side, it's very pretty with beautiful looking spell effects and it runs surprisingly well (100+ fps on max settings with a GTX 1080). The voice acting is also solid for the most part and the story is serviceable so far but it's never really the focus in these games anyway.

Loving my caster right now. It's cool to see that even though I'm a magic user skills from different 'class' are also usefull. The build potential is really great I think.
How many hours have you playes since yesterday man? 😱

The gem sockets are weird. Seems like needless complexity with the "offensive (I)" and "offensive (II)"... etc etc.
I have a 2-handed hammer with offensive(II) so that means... damage bonuses are for spells(edited).

I can't cast spells with a 2-handed hammer. What gives....
this fucking act 2 boss tho O_o
different gems do different things.
edit: wait youre right offensive II seems to be always spell oriented. Welp, I guess any socket can roll on any item :/

Yeah but everything I have for offensive (II) affects spell damage. Nothing for melee damage. On my melee weapon. I'm just confused.
you rolled the wrong socket on a item, it happens in these games. Or can happen, it shouldnt, but it can.
Dahbomb the fuck at this Act 2 boss tho?
So I started out with a sword at the beginning but quickly switched to dual pistols. Can I remap the right mouse botton to do something else since I'm not using the anvil smash anymore?
I feel exactly the same way. I'm only level 13 but I've been playing as a ranged character with bows/pistols and I found a decent two handed sword. Swapped it over and my damage per hit goes from 20-25 to 100. Everything dies so fast. Maybe later on when you get more points in the passive tree the ranged character might start to shine but early game it's chalk and cheese.
They're now pushing 95k players. That's amazing. So happy for these guys. Just hope they can keep up with fixing the issues and stuff before the hype dies down. It really is a fun game to play. Hope the players give them a chance to fix the problems.
Act 2 down, Charming!
These act end bosses are legit challenging because of mechanics, not something you usually see in arpgs, neat.
you can put any skill anyware you want except on left click. just drag it to where you want it.

Got to level 7 as a a caster speccing for afflictions, but not sure i'm loving it.
another complaint is this game needs way more waypoints/checkpoints. I lost a huge chunk of forward progress because I had to quit in the middle of a dungeon and I got put back in town. There wasn't even a portal at the start of the dungeon. So first I'm gonna have to run back to it and then make my way back to where I was in it. That's kind of aggravating and it feels like the game is wasting my time. I may start a new melee character anyway tho. I wanted to go for a build type I normally never really go for in ARPGs but I feel like I chose the worst possible thing.
