Very cool to see the guild becoming so massive and growing! Thanks clarky clarky Rentahamster Rentahamster and everyone else for putting in the effort.

Thanks! I think if I had access to the resources the guild has from day 1, I'd have a lot more regal orbs and exalt orbs right now :messenger_tears_of_joy:

In the meantime, Jinxed Jinxed can save his money and use my weapons haha.

I hope people aren't shy about using the gear in the stash so that they can save their currency. You'll wish you had more when you get to a higher level!

No idea, I haven't bought on either platform yet. I would like to know how stash tabs work as well. ChatGPT says they don't transfer between PS5 and PC, but I am not sure how that would work in practice.
Cosmetics are disabled and there's a message saying "you bought this on PlayStation Network". Apparently there were included cosmetics in the PS EA Access hehe
Not sure about stash tabs, but I jump from PC to PS5 all the time (as I did in D4), it will be a huge let down if stash tabs are locked.
I can see no reason for this.

It's crazy to me how limited the cosmetics are at any one time. I went to weapon cosmetics and there are only 3 and none for Warrior weapons. Is this always how it is? Also, I hope with this new graphics engine they have hired some better artists because the cosmetics leave a lot to be desired after getting used to D4's.

Balbala down in one, but damn that was the toughest boss fight so far. Btw, you can type /deaths in chat to see how many times you've died. I'm at 3 so far with Warrior.

How I feel when playing this game:

Sony won't allow MTX purchases bought on another platform to be accessible unless you have pull like COD or Fortnite. I suspect they will relent on this as it will only hurt their bottom line if the game becomes the behemoth in the genre.
But Blizzard does it with Diablo 4. You don't get the Expansion, but any cosmetics can be used.

I had no idea about tip #2. I don't even remember if I did that. I'll have to go back and check. Free lightning resist is no joke.


yeah i did that yesterday when I saw the icon for that event still lit up. i was confused and thought it was bugged or something cuz nothing dropped and there was no notification. I didnt check my res before/after but i guess it works since it showed it as complete on the map with the +10% lit res

Damn I wasn't ready to get back to the beginning of act 1 after taking that portal, I guess act 3 is over then.

Act 3 boss was easy with that baby:

Lightning+Fire resist helped a bit.

Absolutely love it lol

Dude I spent so many regals trying to make my second weapon :messenger_tears_of_joy: Hopefully I get an upgrade by the time you need it so you won't have to go through that too.

In hindsight, I should have also kept my failed regal crossbow attempts so that I could reforge them instead of disenchanting them.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife

I did that and thought all I did was activate the enemy statues, had no clue about the permabuff.

Goddamn, I didn't have either of these on normal or cruel. I also don't have the Valley of the Titans medallion completed lol.

I've tried crafting some armor pieces and they always turn to shit. The guild stash is very useful, I basically use what is in there and then swap it with the next upgrade. It's so useful

Trial of chaos was pretty fast and easy compared to trial of sekhemas, I was surprised it was over after 4 rooms.

btw you can portal back to town between rooms if you need to.


I think I'll reset my ascendancy points (~30k gold...) wtf is that skill you unlock for 4 points? (Elemental Expression, that triggers on crits)

too much damage :p gotta nerf that


edit: after testing, I don't know, it's weird, it could do more damage but it would be completely broken as it procs like crazy.

I missed the convo but does it work the other way? PS to PC and specifically steam?
 
Wouldn't mind joining the guild Hamster Sensei.
My warrior is called Mangorius_Maximus.
Does it matter that I am in a (2 player friend) guild already? I would leave that one. It was just for testing purposes.

Also got lots of loot I could throw in there.
Another question, if my warrior gets added so do the other classes I have, right?

Mercenary with grenades, flash and standard bolts is fun lol.

Almost at the end of act 3 with my warrior I believe.

Failed 3 times in ascension 3 today. Twice in the first those, and once in chaos.

Made it to boss in both and got one shotted. Honor is a pain but luckily I’m pathfinder with all evasion build and movement speed so I just drop poison from far then run around. Issue is if a boss does a big hit or a crit and evade doesn’t proc or the god awful roll doesn’t help, then GG.

Felt like chaos was easier, faster, and boss was more doable. Had him to 30% within 15-20 seconds but then I got one shotted.

I wish it wouldn’t waste the coin. Just get rid of any loot I picked up and dump it. That’s a better way so players can at least grind it to learn patterns etc.

wow this is ridiculous. PC stash tabs appear as "Remove Only" on PS5.
Might sound a little dramatic but... I'm not sure I want to keep playing. The game already has a lot to keep up to, now I have to either buy twice or turn the game into inventory management simulator.

Yeah, this is why I talk about this a lot it's a huge negative and people need to know. Sony, pls

Going through the Cruel acts today, I noticed that the boss tankbuster attacks all have the same distinctive "gong" sound to telegraph them. Is this new? I certainly never noticed that before.

I noticed it since the first day, but maybe they adjusted something

So what tabs does everyone recommend buying? I’m definitely buying a currency one lol
im looking at getting :
-currency tab
-6 tab bundle
-upgrade 1 to premium
-map tab (although it seems like it's in a "coming soon" state so might hold off on that for now maybe)
=300 points

should be pretty good for now i think. quad tab might be a nice qol thing but ehhh i might get it later
 
I have 15 tabs and dont know what to do with most of them. But I have a lot of room.

rentahamster I just gave another 40 points. I'm the one under Gbeav (psn)

Giving points to the guild is a better move than my dumb purchases.

edit: Im off tomorrow and have been drinking and bought 3 cash tabs....

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably personally get a quad tab instead of more regular tabs. It's just nice to have one huge spot to dump a lot of crap really quickly and sort through it later.

But based on the way you play I think what you have set is good.
