+1 I'll keep an eye out for it then.
Grim DawnThis game still relevant? I haven't played in probably two years. Path of Exile gets...tiresome. Running three monitors for trading, the game itself, and Path of Building following a build. Could kind of use a game that's a simpler grind while I can have a movie on or something.
Tried it. Played for a bit. For whatever reason, didn't stick. I go back to it now and then.Grim Dawn
also goes on sale frequently for like $5, though all the expansions are worththe price and best I’ve seen them is 20% off. Still receives updates on occasion. It’s a good balance between D3 and POE. Devs come from Titan Quest and Blizzard North.

Right? Path of Exile on a PS controller just doesn't make any sense either.The idea of playing Diablo on a console with a controller just seems backwards to me. Would feel as natural as using a joystick or steering wheel. Maybe I'm old school. To each their own I guess.

Just a guess but I would say there is probably another month yet until Season 21 ends. They havent released the PTR build of the next season yet and when they do that usually signals the end is near for the current season.So, apparentl Season 21 is about to end? SHould I even bother with doing the season?

I take it these were put in for people wanting to level in higher difficulties without wasting their time. I always hated the leveling grind during the season because running Hard is so boring. It would be more fun if you could run rifts at a Torment level of difficulty without worrying too much about being splattered from the get-go. I guess it's certainly possible to do, as I've gone up to Torment IV at level 1 and did okay, but it wasn't nearly as fast gaining levels as Hard is.Christ this thread disappeared. My first time ever using the search function, lol.
Anyone else playing Season 24 with the Ethereals? Things are insane! I was using my Level 35 at 70 and couldn't replace it with even Ancients until I found another Ethereal. Pretty cool and also really sad that my main monk won't get this once the season is over
Here's one Ethereal at 27

I've never done higher than like GR110 solo on my main but I think I can do that with this despite being down 8000 dexterity
Yeah. For the most part, they're far better than any ancient you can get (about 3x stronger), provided you get the right weapon power.do Ethereals generally roll with decent stats / powers? If it's not a case of trying fifteen different ones I'll be tempted back in...

Yeah, I was playing the season start. Didn't go too well this weekend. Was #2 on the conquests behind the Russian group. That's my goal is to have them lose every conquest, because they use bots to run bounties as well as map hacks, whereas I'm doing everything legimately.The Altar of Rites is crazy. You can unlock the perk for no equipment level requirements in 10 minutes. You can then run a level 1 character with level 70 crafted equipment, which allows you to push T5-6 at level 1. Combined with the doubling of kill streak rewards you can hit level 60 in around 30 minutes without trying too hard. At level 60 you need to back the difficulty down, which slows your progress to 70, but it's still insane. I ran T2 after hitting 60.
lol, what's there not to be thrilled by other than the horseshit staff of herding?Yeah, I was playing the season start. Didn't go too well this weekend.

But at one point this weekend, our team held #1 for 2 player, 3 player, and 4 player Greater Rift leaderboards at the same time.
Still, going to be a short season for me. I'm not too thrilled with it, and I feel Blizzard caters towards streamers over the community at large.
These drop only when wearing your classe's set items from a stone pedestal that has an open book on it in Act 1. Port to Leoric's Manor and enter, head up the right side stairs and further to the back it's there.How in the hell do you find all the pages to the Tome of Set Dungeons for the Altar?
That one has me perplexed. Can't find a good answer using Google either
Just to "help you" and your peace, it took me probably around 8 hours of grinding over 3 days on "just" Chilltara (not any of the other items for the staff) to get the drop.I was until Chiltara. I'm at 60 kills with no gibbering gemstone and well north of 200 new games just to get caverns of frost. I even tried in story mode, lol. I'm desperate
Both last season and this season (sans those two issues with grinding for a specific drop) have been great.Thoroughly enjoying season 28.
Yeah my only difficulty was initially an echoing nightmare and then liquid rainbow but still, I knew they'd drop with time and I could at least do those while doing other things as well. This is day three of exclusively farming for it, so...fingers crossed.Just to "help you" and your peace, it took me probably around 8 hours of grinding over 3 days on "just" Chilltara (not any of the other items for the staff) to get the drop.
I have classically bad RNG though. Last season, I probably farmed GR2's and GR's in general for 2 weeks before I got the Cosmic Wing drop. Those are just two examples. That seems to happen to me repeatedly.
The Act 2 one in Oasis I got pretty quick once I learned the locations and how to farm it, that's the second most annoying one. The other 3 were minimal time-wise.

Staff of herding is the only one that’s annoying to get. And it’s the second to last node.I got an echoing nightmare while I was still leveling, and Ramaladni's Gift has been raining from the sky for me. I'm having shit luck with all the Herding Staff materials. At this point I honestly don't know if I want to grind out the rest of the Altar passives.
That’s insane luck. Like literally everything had to roll your way for that. I said it before, I always seem to be at the long end of RNG luck.So, on Americas, it took me roughly 24 hours to complete the altar (doing everything solo self found). It took me roughly 12 hours to do all the node stuff (Staff of Herding, ancient puzzle ring, etc.), and 24 hours to get the 6 primals.
Anyway, I also just wanted to unlock extra stash tabs on other regions. Guess what? Apparently all my luck went to Asia, which of course, I'm never going to play. I had an Ancient Puzzle Ring and Ramaladni's Gift before I even completed Haedrig's Gift. The Staff of Herding also came just doing the necessary bounties. You need to run roughly 4 sets of bounties, and I got all the necessary ingredients during those, along with 2 Royal Ring of Grandeurs. And I had my complete build really early too, roughly 15 minutes after I completed Haedrig's Gift.
It took me roughly 7 hours to complete the Altar as well as the Season Journey on Asia. Why couldn't this luck have been on Americas?
Over the past 10 or so seasons, one of the things I've been doing has been focusing on speeding up the season start. It was because I was frustrated with taking 6+ hours to 70 and found out that all the major streamers and sites were giving terrible advice. So I use alt servers to actually run tests to see if the stuff works.Also you’re insane. Doing US was enough. I have no desire to do it again on another server.
For the Puzzle ring I just did Horadric Cube Recipe 2 and rerolled for it. I was again unlucky RNG wise for it. Normally you'd get an ancient after 6-10 rolls. For me it was over 15-18 rolls or thereabouts. Considering it was early game and I was low on mats it was very painful. However also considering I still haven't gotten a "natural" ancient Puzzle Ring drop and I've had nearly 20, it was worth it to do when I did it.I'm actually multitasking at this point, checking the spawns for the Staff of Herding materials while completing the conquests. I'm on node #20 out of 26 right now with 2 out of the 3 potion nodes unlocked. Been on the lookout for an Ancient Puzzle Ring to unlock that node. Nothing else on the altar is terribly difficult or tedious to unlock than node #25.
There is a guy named Raxx that created a really good 0-70 + First 4 seasonal rewards guide (to get the free 6 piece set) and he was able to show it was possible in about 2 hours and 40 minutes with nothing (aka season start). Of course that content is relatively new. I'm not sure if he also did it for previous seasons, he made that video for Season 28.Over the past 10 or so seasons, one of the things I've been doing has been focusing on speeding up the season start.

And I have the run recorded on my twitch stream. Basically everything I needed just happened to drop in short order. Even gear for alternate sets were unique pieces in which I didn't need to convert. Like I said, I've never been this lucky in my life. Literally, I didn't even have enough gems at this point in the season before I had everything else I needed to finish the season and the altar.

He also has another guide to do 0-70 in 15 minutes. But it requires some gold and mats as your second char (but zero paragon points or Altar Points).
