Day 1 player here. An autobot all the way.
Recently, I found there's a small community of manual players.
Manual PvP is very competitive.
It requires deep knowledge of the game which I really like.
Units of choice are much diverse. From UR to R rarity. Every unit looks to be valuable: Lorenzo, Lilith, Naiah, etc. You will not be stuck in chasing "meta" auto units. Team-building is what I really love in this game.
Job-based VCs tend to have value in forming a manual team.
I will probably enter this space if there is:

1. Reconnect feature - it's devastating getting random disconnection or crashes on winning momentum in auto CM and you cannot reconnect. What more on manual CM when you spend 20+mins strategizing.
2. Action Counter - I kinda hate when players spend 10+ turns turtling, camping. It makes the match very long. The solution maybe to reduce the Actions to 20(?) each player? So that's 2~3 turns buffing and the rest are bloodbath. Low actions count may perhaps force players to engage ASAP.

I had this thought after watching JB79 and Mysidia having an in-depth discussion on manual CM.
As long as I cannot reconnect(i had terrible internet connection), I cannot join manual CM.

Evening folks,
With spinning up a new community, we need to worry about our own version of lostech, and that's losing all of the wonderful content, tools, utilities, and insight that was collected over the years. This is a great opportunity to collate and collect useful resources for new players, loremasters, and veterans alike. So I will attempt to keep this post as up to date as humanly possible with the best of the best of informative content, regardless of it's source (bearing rules compliance, of course). If I missed something? Post it here, I'll add it. Something need's expanded coverage? Someone might know a source.
If this grows too large for a post, I will move the content to a google doc. As of posting this is the extent of the links I have. More are always welcome.

A very important piece of advice I want to stress as we see an influx of new players is to pay attention to typing. I’ve seen a lot of players just picking any suit willy-nilly, making for incredibly unbalanced team comps.
To get better at this game understanding and paying attention to typing is essential both when readying up and in game. If your team has two raids already it’s unwise to bring a third, and if you’re playing a game as a raid you should be targeting support MS. Constantly battling MS you have a type disadvantage against is an easy path to certain defeat. Learn about typing, learn to recognize MS and what type they are, and you will see more success.
Just food for thought.

I made a post yesterday after completing the campaign which I'm not very proud of. I came off elitist and shat all over the game without giving any good reasons or evidence. Now that I've had some time to think and gather my thought I can lay them out here in a more organized way for any ARPG fans who haven't bought the game yet and are considering it. This post is meant purely to inform, so if you already bought the game and are enjoying it, keep enjoying it and move on. No need to be a huge blizz fanboy and argue with me over what I am right now making very clear is my own opinion.
Some background on me - I've spent 1000's of hours playing an assortment of ARPG's including but not limited to D3, POE, Grim Dawn, and Last Epoch. I'm no expert on the genre, but I'd say I've got enough experience to give an informed opinion. I'm breaking down my critique into several sections, that will sometimes overlap and may seem redundant, but that's only they all influence each other to create an overall feeling of "meh" for me while I'm playing.
1. Power Level
Enemy scaling is fucking terrible. Some people love it - esp the casual crowd that's touting how great the level scaling for co-op is. I'm not a co-op player. I do ARPG's solo and other people are there purely for trading. So this monster scaling for me is shit.

• You never get the power spikes we're all used to in other ARPG's. There's no better feeling than going from feeling like you're shooting little bolts of nothing out of a wet noodle, to feeling like an ultimate god who's blowing up packs like nothing. This just doesn't happen in D4. I always felt like it was taking the same exact amount of time for me to kill enemies. Fucking lame.
• This goes back to itemization. Never did I in my entire playthrough switch one of my items and actually feel stronger. Maybe I was killing things like a millisecond quicker, but never was it like "whoa! that's fucking sick".
• This is the same for the skill tree. Never did I take a node on it and feel significantly stronger.

2. Player Autonomy
It seems like Blizzard created this game for a very very very casual crowd. I knew that going into it, as D3 was the same way, but I feel like they went even further this time in taking away any meaningful level of control the player has over how they play the game.

• Gave us force move, but only make right click available from level 3. Why? Why can't I have move on my left click and attack on right click right from the start.
• No layover map. They say this would take away from immersion. I'm pretty sure pulling up a full screen map every few seconds does that even more. If there are players who feel it takes away from immersion, they don't have to use it. Give us the option.
• The skill tree. Skills in D3 had 5 options to choose from. If you map the old D3 skills on a tree, like you have in D4, and look at it that way, we actually have less choices now.

3. Build Customization
Diablo was never known for deep mechanics, but it seems that D4 has even less choices when it comes to making viable end-game builds.

• The terrible generatospender system for skills. I played a Sorc and even at level 50 was still having to use the basic skill constantly. Long ass cooldowns on half of my skills, and terrible mana regen, and high mana costs for other skills. It just feels clunky. This forces any build that doesn't want to constantly use a basic skill to stack CDR, Resource Gen, and RCR on every item that can roll it. People will say that this gets figured out for end-game. So what? Do I wanna be running around for the first 10+ hours of the game with a gimped character. And should I have to stack all those affixes on every item just to get a decent build?
• In addition to the affixes you're basically pigeon holed into using specific legendary aspects and parts of the skill tree to further help with this resource generating problem. If you don't, be ready to constantly cycle between basic skills and core skills. FEELS LIKE SHIT.
• I haven't gotten to Paragon Boards yet, but from the looks of it they're just a slightly more complex version of Paragon Points from D3. There's nothing build defining about them. You just keep adding stats and multipliers to what's already a pigeon holed build.

4. Time Wasting Aspects
Luckily the devs made it so that you can skip the campaign after you complete it with you first character, but what about seasons? So I have to do this slog all over again every time?

• Not well thought out mechanics. There were dungeons in which I had to bring two of some item to some pedastels and both were pretty close to each other. Guess what? I could only carry one at a time. Other dungeons I had to run to the end of a super long hallway to just talk to some NPC, and then run all the way back to another area with no ability to teleport out. Tons of this running around pointlessly thhroughout the campaign that could have just been done away with.
• Why are MMO's leaking into Diablo? I'm not some fucking gatherer who wants to pick plants and stuff rocks into my pockets. I'm here to kill monsters and get more powerful. Why the fuck did they take the worst parts of Lost Ark and throw them into D4?
• The camel quest. What the fuck was this? Following around some idiot with a camel for 15 minutes through a desert? Like really?

5. General Grievances
For a game that took so long to develop there's a surprisingly large number of bugs and little things that should have been caught in testing, or at least during the open betas.

• Sorc teleporting into walls and rock formations
• Only thing painful about the Duriel fight was not being able to see anything from half of the arena
• Many other areas where the environment completely blocks your view
• Gems - don't gotta say anything more

In conclusion I wish I could get a refund on the game. There are so many better options out there for me at the moment that I can't see myself spending any time on D4 unless they make very significant improvements, but I'm not hopeful. Does that mean it's a bad game? No. A lot of people are enjoying it and maybe you will too. But if you have similar ideas to mine as to what makes an ARPG exciting and fun then I'd not dish out the money they're asking for.

I’m kind of just concerned at this point. I’ve been nannying for a new family for a few weeks now. The children show a total absence of discipline and a complete lack of empathy likely due to the poor communication on the fathers part (he has told me repeatedly to threaten or bribe them, and from what I see at home he usually just screams at them or insults them and and says stuff like what’s wrong with you). I’m at my wits end these kids are so sweet, but they are absolutely wild I’m talking biting and breaking skin 30+ times a day (I’m sincerely not exaggerating). On top of this they smack people in the face and kick them as well as scream or throw things at them. They sometimes even just do this to get in a good laugh. The father has told me he does not discipline the children when me and the other nanny are not there. On top of this these children are sleep deprived. He does not allow nap time and in fact pulls them out of preschool, so they miss nap time. They get 10 hours of sleep a day at ages two and three. When they should be averaging closer to 16. I try my best to work around the damage the father is doing, but one college aged nanny can only do so much. I guess I’m just looking for tips on how to start from scratch with discipline because he has absolutely no set standards, and I have tried everything from gentle talks and time out talks to removing them from play areas or leaving places where they bite people, but with new Nannie’s coming in and out due to the severity and intensity of the job, the kids don’t respect us and see us as temporary fixtures in their life that are just going to eventually leave them so why not push their nanny’s buttons and push them away before they can get close and get hurt. However, being the first nanny that’s stuck around longer than three weeks in the past six months has led the youngest child to become very attached to me, and because he has never met and does not have contact with his mother, alongside with me nannying him at family events where it’s just me the dad and close family, he now thinks I’m his mom. He has recently taken to pushing away the other Nannie’s, screaming I want mommy and running toward me. When I tried calling him mommy to make it seem like a joke he said I’m not mommy you’re my mommy and I said no sweetie I’m xxxxx your nanny! And he got extremely upset, then later that night the other nanny tried to put him down and he screamed for mommy AGAIN and he came downstairs to me and his dad and only hugged me goodnight ignoring his father completely (HUGE RED FLAG IMO) and refused to let anyone besides me put him down. How do I teach this little boy that I’m the nanny and not his mommy when I wake him up feed him take him out and about all day and put him to bed? I keep trying to reference myself as nanny insertmynamehere, but he still calls me mommy, so I’m not sure how to explain to him in a simple way that I’m not mommy. I wouldn’t be as concerned if there was a mother in the picture because it would just likely be an instance of associating the word with someone he loves or if he called other important women in his life mommy but he only knows mommies from books or kids shows, and he only recently started calling me mommy after I became consistent with the job. Please someone help or offer advice. My heart is breaking for these poor children.

Basic Information on D4 and some of the most frequently asked questions are quickly answered there!
================================================================================

​

• System Requirements: See image here <-- for official information on D4's System Requirement.

• Offline Mode: No Offline Mode. Online-only, including for Consoles (so unlike D3 on consoles, no offline mode for consoles with D4).
• Local Co-op / Couch Co-op / Console Co-op: No couch co-op on PC. Yes on consoles, but only for up to 2 Players (same for all Home Consoles).
• Crossplay: is available across all platforms.
• Is progress, cosmetics, etc shared between PC, Xbox, PS5, etc? Your Progress, Cosmetics, etc are saved on your Battle.net account, so yes, they are shared between your PC, Xbox, PS, etc copies of the game you may have, provided you are logged in on the same Battle.net account.

​

​

• Infos on the Battle Pass: There is a Free Battle Pass and two Tiers of a Premium Battle Pass.

The Free & the Premium BP's last for one season (one season lasts ~3 months) and all of them will take ~75 hours to complete.
• Is D4's Premium Battle Pass pay2win? Short Answer: NO!
• Is D4's Premium Battle Pass pay2win? Long Answer: The Premium Battle Pass does NOT give an XP Boost. There is an XP Boost in the FREE Battle Pass. Buying the Premium Battle Pass does NOT unlock or accelerate the pace at which you get the XP Boost of the Free Battle Pass. XP Boosts only apply to your OTHER seasonal Characters, AFTER one of them has fulfilled certain requirements, like reaching a certain Character Level (evtl. Max Character Level ?), so it will only make it faster to level seasonal Alts, not your seasonal Main Char. (based on currently publicly available information).
• D4's ingame Shop: only sells cosmetic via Premium Currency, but not power (based on currently publicly available information). Premium Currency can also be gained by playing the game.

​
[Gameplay] - Does D4 have...

• ... a Skill Tree? Yes.
• ... Skill Points? Yes, D4 has Skill Points (these are shared by Active and Passive Skills)
• ... Skill Runes like in D3? No, but there are ways to modify Active Skills further (both via Items and via the Skill Tree)
• ...a Paragon System? Yes, but it is very different than Paragon from D3. Unlike D3's Paragon, D4's Paragon is NOT account-wide and you do NOT have unlimited Points for it (gained from Level 50 to 100 + via some other objectives). It is "Paragon in Name-only" so to speak.
• ... Respecs? Yes, but they cost Gold. You can respec individual Skill Points. Due to the Gold Costs for respecs increasing with Character Level, you can't respec High Level Characters too much each day.
• ... Trading? Yes, but only Normal, Magic and Rare Items (+ Gems, Gold & Elixirs) can be traded, but not Legendaries or Uniques. Rare Items can be enchanted further, but then can no longer be traded.
• ... an Auction House like D3? No Auction House in D4.
• ... Bald Occultist from the Trailer? Check!
• ... Succubi? Check!

I'm quitting this game, so I decide to sell all available LTI CCU'd ship to cashback. Just DM me with what you want, and I will try to arrange it for you. The default price is 40% off CIG's listed price.
I'm planning to sell 4 ships in total, and my ccu stocks are limited, so early come more CCU choices.
Long-time player, trusted dealers in Reddit, no stock limited ship available (hull e or more expensive ships)

I met a guy on the apps. He’s a very introverted European guy living in America. He’s very straightforward and dry. He was always a bit passive and I arranged our first date, which he was very enthusiastic about (?). We went on several dates (he would drive to my city to see me and I went to see him once). It felt like things were picking up and he started asking me things about the future. (All of this took place over 1.5 months) On our third date he came to my town and I could tell he seemed a bit distant. We ended up sleeping together that date and it was really fun, we had excellent bedroom chemistry. But I could tell there were moments were he was frustrated with me /annoyed before the sex when we were walking. He left for vacation two days after we slept with each other. The night he left we were texting , and then he stopped texting cold turkey. A week went by and I didn’t hear from him so I added him on WhatsApp and said “hey!” He was extremely aloof. 4 days later I let him know I took a pregnancy test and it was negative (we had a condom oopsy) and again, super aloof. I ended up asking him in that conversation “I have feelings for you… I hope I haven’t given you the wrong impression” he basically said he was not on the same page as me, but he wanted to see me when he was back. I said “great”. And left it at that. A week of NC goes by and I get a text out of the blue that says “ hey. I thought I was ready to start dating but I’m not. And I don’t think we’re on the same page. I don’t want to play games and lead you on. I think you’re wonderful and I wish you all the best”
I was super nice back (maybe too generous with my reply) and basically said I understand and that we never clarified our intentions and that I wish the best for him (and that I enjoyed the physical interaction) Of course I was dying inside but I didn’t want to put that on him. He never responded.
I want to know your guys’ thoughts!? It’s been a week of no contact since then. We had a lot in common (both love Africa, both world travelers, both love the same kind of special dog breed, both have similar life views and values, both spent time in Brazil, shared laughter, great sex) Do you guys have theories on what happened? Keep in mind he’s 30 and been in two 6 month relationships, which may mean he has a hard time? I also know he’s not a huge player (he hadn’t gotten laid in 5 months and I believe him- he’s very honest) but is active on the apps. I’m honestly baffled that he pulled away ( he’s handsome but I know I’m the much cuter one- I’m sure) . I think that’s why I’m surprised. He’s really dorky and awkward and Im really shocked he shut me down when I showed too much interest. I know it’s cocky but wth. I’m going crazy with the “what did I do wrong?” Should I just stay no contact? Alternatively I was considering reaching out in a few months (if I’m still interested) to rekindle things using the “just friends” angle since technically we are on “good terms” Which is the better option? He’s very shy. But his text was so explicit!
Please don’t be mean to me. My heart and mind are f***d up rn!

I’ve been thinking a long time about how this game could be reworked and made better and not as rage inducing for people like me.
I’m a HIGHLY competitive person, and enjoy this great game but at the end of the day, tilting/rage quitting can get very real. I’ve come to realize it all comes down to the backwards momentum. And I’ve come up with a possible different way they could rework the system that would help people not rage quit, or rage delete, and encourage more deck experimentation and a more fun gaming experience.
I think what would be better is to have a casual version. No backwards momentum. You climb and can get stuck, but you won’t go down. I’ve fallen into the depths TWICE this season and clawed my way back without hitting infinite, it’s still frustrating. I personally think having a different grind would be better, where instead of the level being 100 it could be 500 or even 1000 to get to infinite. Still takes a long time, you have to play a LOT, but you’d always be climbing.
I think it would allow for a lot of players to feel like they could experiment with decks, knowing they won’t fall so far down that they couldn’t risk it. You might stay in one place for a while, losing a ton of games but the few games you do win, you’re still climbing, and can still feel accomplished at the end of the day. The grind could still take lots of us a while in order to win that many cubes, but the losses wouldn’t send people into rage spirals. Also, it allows for the more casual gamers to still continue to hit those markers and win new things.
What are your thoughts? How could my suggestion be made better? Do you not think it could work?

Now yes its a bit cheesy and i wont get to much into detail about Aphmau and Aaron because i don’t entirely have a full hypothetical story around them but i do have a way to tie in that rundown to my main event of the season my main focus is how every new couple mainly Nana and Zane and Travis and katelyn will say there first i love yous if not already said if they have been well i mean itll still be a nice moment the couples share.
Now its a couple of days after the tragedy of love love paradise and everyone is just tryna go home grieve and then ask questions later. Everyone finally gets home and they all just instantly break down from the trauma that was caused because no one really caught a break. Its late at night so everyone just packs it in and gets ready for bed at their houses after saying goodnight to everyone. Now we’ll say both Katelyn and Travis and Zane and Nana are both in seperate houses (idk who’s specifically but my main reasoning is they’re all talking about there relationships.). Now the first couple is Travis and Katelyn ill focus on and Katelyns gonna be the one whos needing support whilst Travis listens to Katelyn grieve for context hes still depressed to just i feel Katelyn may be the one to first break down in this scenario. Now Katelyn is horrified at what she did fighting her own friends and it kinda all leads to just shes sorry for just being for a lack of better words but being hard to get with with Travis and having a temper towards the rest of the gang sometimes . Travis comforts her by hugging her and reminding her that he’ll always be by her side and he accidentally in travis fashion but still kinda serious spurts out the three biggest words “i love you” and katelyn looks to him wipes a tear and says it back to him which will signify there officially a couple and wont hide it i think I don’t remember if they openly said they were a couple.
Now to Zane and Nana Where they’ll have a similar talk with Zane being the one who’s wanting to vent about everything whilst Nana provides support to Zane. Zane will of course cry and vent about how he had to witness the woman who cares about him and who he cares about get slashed whilst his best friend basically died right by him. He’ll also have a line something along the lines of “i just started to find out what love feels like (at this moment Nana sees the love zane has for her)and as soon as something good happens to me its usually followed up by something bad” or something of the same point so he’s crying Nana who’s crying to hearing this will pull him in close for a hug and now she’ll say to Zane “ i love you” with Zane of course saying it back. With the two still talking as we pan to the main biggest point here that being aphmau.
Now for the final bit of the episode and the biggest one to address Aphmau now rewind a bit everyone will say of course before they split off to their houses will all collectively hope each other is well and everyone will hug everyone but when they all go to their houses aphmaus left by herself (her choice) she will sigh as she walks in locks the door with sad music in the background and fade to black as the locking sound is made.
Where i dont know what to add is to what aphmau does in the episodes after and how aaron will be reintroduced but i wanted to specifically make the couples and correct me if im wrong but make them say there first i love yous the payoff afterwards though will be the final episode Aaron remembers Aph and they’ll then get there moment. Im open to additions to this idea if anyone wants to add and i hope you guys like it.

I always thought some of the more fascinated sequences in Outer Wilds was those having to do with quantum mechanics and rules, but I never really gave much thought as to its thematic inclusion. Today I actually thought about it and how well I think it actually fits with the theme of life.
People always talk about how meaningless your journey is in Outer Wilds. How you can never save your friends. The solar system will always die, and you're powerless to stop it. The only move is acceptance of the inevitable.
And yet, it isn't meaningless. As the player (and probably the Hatchling themselves, to a degree), we go on a physical and borderline psychological journey. We see amazing sights, and make memories that we hold onto, that shape us. And we aren't powerless. While we couldn't stop the universe's end, we were able to press the reset button. Rather than letting the heat death of the universe occur, we're (and this I know is up to interpretation) are able to initiate a Big Crunch to begin life anew via observing the Eye. In that moment, even for a split second before oblivion, we unconsciously are all-powerful.
I believe this also extends to what Outer Wilds says about life. The universe is uncaring and your life is an insignificant blip that is over in an instant. Yet the statistical fact that you, yourself, are even alive to begin with is a mathematical marvel. Whether you even realize it, you help shape your community and your friends with so many actions. Sometimes just your presence in somebody's life can send them careening down a path they never would have gone down before, for better or worse. And that's just your direct influence. As such, you are significant. The things you experience, the meaning you draw out of life, be it from money, philosophy, family, or religion, is significant.
Our lives and the meaning we draw from it, much like certain purple stones, are not set. They are in constant flux. It only requires somebody to percieve that it becomes set. For me, I percieve my time here to be meaningful, that I try to brighten my friends days, and try to enjoy what short time I have here on this uncaring but arguable wonderful world. What do you see?

Having tonnes of fun on the game, real banger in the making, I just want to air a few grievances I had in the early game. Keep in mind this is based on my experience so you might have had it different.
-medical supplies. Medical supplies were a scarce commodity with the crafting recipes for bandages and medkits locked at the start of the game. This, combined with crafting bandages being impractical for people without a bottomless pit of money to buy and scrap items with, makes the only avenue to get meds to buy them. But, bandages are for some silly reason locked until you level up the traders a few times (and long before that point you've lost all your meds on your first raids) and I still haven't unlocked medkits even though I have a trader at level 5.
This could lead to newer players being unable to heal as they don't know where to find meds in raid, and will probably loose many fights with other players to being damaged by ai beforehand. Leaving a sour taste in their mouth in the critical "is this game worth my time" period.
The solution I can think of is to make bandages available from the get go at at least one trader. The fact I can buy submachine guns from people I supposedly don't know but I can't buy a few strips of cloth doesn't make any sense.
-unclear jobs I gotta turn on the capital ship transponder? Where's the capital ship? Do I have to breach it with an escape pod or can I dock? The merchant ship's custom's manifest- what now?
Not knowing where jobs are can seriously affect a newer players experience. I basically learned them all from trail and error, and I'm still surprised I managed to find the forklift on my first raid after accepting the contract.
My solution would be to add a compass or radar map on the top of the screen when piloting a ship, having the factions logos represent the directions I'd need to go to complete them. This shouldn't effect gameplay much except give newer players the pointers they need.

Scoot is one of the most explosive sub-6'4 point guards we've seen in the last 25 years. We tend to worry about the injury risks of recent high draft picks much over 7 foot like Chet and Victor but as I was trying to think of Scoot comps with similar athleticism and size, I kept coming up with guys that had injury riddled careers. We're dealing with small sample sizes (not many guys hit the NBA at his size with his level of athleticism and tools) but I can't help wondering if guys with that kind of rim explosion and change of direction winds up putting a larger amount of stress on their bodies leading to more injuries and shorter careers. Maybe smaller guys, exploding at the rim, hanging in the air take a lot of bad falls or maybe these guys get very reliant on start/stop explosion can be pretty hard on their knees. I always remember watching Derrick Rose his first few years and marveling at how he could explode in one direction, plant and explode in a different direction then explode at the rim the next second. It seemed almost impossible. I always wondered if his injuries were an inevitable part of his unique playing style or if they were just bad luck.
I sifted through the tops of the last 25 drafts looking for 6'3 or shorter guys with similar types of athleticism as Scoot. They needed to have vertical explosion in addition to horizontal explosion. Guys like Mike Conley and Chris Paul had insane quickness but didn't explode at the rim the way Scoot can. I came up with 5 guys who had both types of explosion at an elite or nearly elite level and the injury history is not great:
​

1. D-Rose. first 3 seasons 78 or more games each then the ACL and was never the same player again. He never played 70 games for the rest of his career.
2. Baron Davis: first 3 seasons 82 games each, then ran into some injury-riddled years. He did have a couple seasons over 67 games. He retired at 32 after tearing his ACL and MCL.
3. Steve Francis enjoyed relatively good health up to his age 28 season then blew out his knee and was out of the league by 30.
4. John Wall: after his age 27 season he never played more than 42 games in a single year.
5. Ja Morant: has yet to play more than 67 games in a season.
6. Russell Westbrook: an absolute physical freak that throws off the curve. 10 years at 70 games or more despite flinging his body around the court like a rag doll every night.

Note that I am not a doubter of Scoot's talent. Barring injury I think he's a perennial all-star. I'm hoping he can stay healthier than some of these other guys because he plays more under control than them. He doesn't play 100 mph the whole game. He has elite change of gears and a really good pull-up that he can get to pretty easily. He was pretty nicked up last year, though, and I think he may need to become a really proficient pull-up 3 point shooter to save his body from the wear and tear that some of these other guards have dealt with. I don't think that's out of the question. We've seen that guys who have great pull-ups from 2 are often able to extend their range to 3s. What do you guys think of this? Small sample size or is there something there?
