Great thread, thanks for the detailed breakdown. Those of us on PS won't see this game for a long time, so I'm vicariously living through you....

Yes, exactly! Damage is weak and entering into a locked animation sequence can spell death. Also, most projectile main attacks do not do serious damage, so even doubling that doesn't compare to say a single ice needle attack. Now, if it did not lock the animation and i could still use other skills....that would be interesting...

This can happen if you play with people who are waaaaaaay too strong. Don't go full power in him just because you can. Not sure if the last hot fix addressed this or not.

I'd also like to see the vault and 2for1 skills revamped, because as playing her (for years) i found those 2 skills to be weak and useless. She is my fave hero though.

Bad luck. No special trick or stage. Just play with 1 LM in deck. Check player shops too, may just buy it.

Only way to get more bags is to spend $$$

Yeah, that totally made my day. Been bummed for a while. Was ready to be done with dd2, but now.....oh yeah!

Took a couple months for me, but did get resolved. I went through grief stages. Denial, anger, depression, etc.. Have patience. I'm rooting for ya.

Ok, so YOU DID IT!!!!! A day or so after that post, all my hypershards showed up in my mailbox. I am so happy, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'm a tad sad they are all back at level 1, but not looking this gift horse in the mouth. You are greatly appreciated. Time to play some DD2!

I lost half of all my hypershards. Just gone. I sent in a ticket months ago with no reply and shards still gone. Really pissed off. Preventing me from enjoying any new content. No idea why ir what happened.

Wow, awesome content. Goblin insurance could be a real game changer. I'm very excited.

Was anyone else on the map playing as them? The icon is a power-up that only applies to that hero.

Don't play as Lavamancer duting the wave. The icon only shows when you have a player as him on the map.

You are awesome! Appreciate the info. Happy New Year's!!!!

I have a question. What does "corrupted " gear and pets mean? How do you acquire them?

Bunny Hop may be the funnest shard in the game... i spent a whole evening double jumping my Barb and just grinning.... thank you!

I 2nd Quinn's comments on drops in chests or reducing costs. This was a huge reduction on an already overly grindy game. Not really taking the burnout of players into account on that change. Still wish to see shard management corrected. Having to store up to 6 of each shard you want in a game with limited paid bag space is real pain and quite frankly poorly designed. Come up with a way to stack shards or do partial upgrades. This has been an issue for way too long, especially as even more shards are introduced. I'd still like to see better MOD management. Destroying the item it

Some great updates. Nice to see some dd2 love.

One set of my hypershards are missing, specifically the ones from beating mastery like 2+ years ago. I see new C8 mastery was added - did they take away the shards, or am i victim to a glitch?

I don't get why a new barrier was introduced, as all barriers are completely broken and haven't been a part of builds in YEARS. I mean if the update came with massive barrier buffs and some AI tweeks, I'd be all for dusting off all my barriers. However in the current state of the game this feels like wasted programer time on an instantly obsolete tower. Looks cool tho. I'm also a little taken back by the inclusion of the leap skill, as that is completely taken from the Barb, and it's a skill i neither like nor ever use much in actual combat. In a game where we need to defend a spot,

Wow, that's cool. I hope it's more than a gender swap of an existing hero with no new def or skills...

The answer is - it depends. It depends on the ever shifting metas and your play style. Anyone that builds defs can be your builders. The meta just shifted, so who's the current best is changing, but always good to have a monk for auras, and SGT ev2 for beams, huntress for PDT, and an apprentice for EST. DPS- monk is top tier for both mele and range plus boss killer. Barbarian is the best tank hands down and a must have. Gunwitch is good, but also requires a little more finesse and skill to play, so I'd leave her for later myself. In the end - best is who you enjoy playing with the

Well worth is very subjective. Does Betsy have attacks and skills that make her a must have companion? Not really. Won't make maps or fights much easier. However, many of us that play dd2 like to collect things you can get in the game, and especially things that look cool. In that sense - she is a must have!

It's mostly luck. Any gear that mods come on can get any value from 1-10, so best to farm on C7 so you don't have to upgrade the mod if you do get a 10. One note- CG put a max amount of time you play in game without a 10 dropping, meaning you are guaranteed one if you play long enough. I forget how long, but if you play regularly you should at least 1 a week if not more.

You need to choose a region and a map first.
