Thoughts As I Play

Playing as a Beast Master. When I try to heal pets, many times the heal targets the totem they are next to or clipping through instead of healing the pet. This literally just killed me at level 38 of my solo, offline, hardcore run. Frustrating.

When using controller, if you change skills on the hot bar, you have to push start on the controller till you see the menu or the hot bar skill change menu will not properly close causing skills to act weird when holding down a button.

You need to use the report a bug feature with a screenshot when it happens or their own forums. They actually read the reports there. Here .. probably not that much.

Idk which totems you relied on to heal your pet but the only reliable heal is from the Wolf Howl which isnt reliant on a totem, you can use the Frenzy totem to get an extra procs of your minions ability but thats it. I think you didnt understand properly how your Beastmaster worked or just chose poorly the wrong way to keep everyone alive or spreaded your focus too much and in the end it didn't work out.

Beastmaster is easy to get carried away on with the many beast you can summon, i think that might be what happened to you. Hopefully you learned and you go again if you want that hardcore experience ( ' ')b

Yeah I immediately realized after making a new character that I had totally missed a section of the Primalist heal spell that auto targets the lowest health ally, ever since I've taken that perk, targeting is a non issue.

I was also not really paying too much attention to gear and have since gone with a ton of pet damage and health and have been shredding.

Ah it's a non issue now, I figured out that when it happens, I can push start on the controller to fix it.

This last update broke a lot of controller interactions with NPCs.

Heavy Paws for the Sabre Tooth makes the animal almost passive till right up on an enemy or it gets hit. All the other animals engage immediately and properly.

Just died in the Lagon fight because all of my pets got stuck on the outside of the spawning tentacles that limit the fight zone. Cool.

Game doesn't crash often for me, but when it does, it does it when specializing in a skill. I pick a skill to specialize and I hear my processor rev up and never winds down. Game freezes. Crash.

Trying to use controller in dungeon areas on the map is busted.

Still seeing a few interactions that need controller fixes.

Overall the game is great.

Make a Necro if you want a true summoner build without the 'heal pet/revive pet' gimmick

32 minions on Necro (8 are temp)

Not sure if it's this past update but the game seems to be running worse with higher dips in frame rate in certain areas from me. Playing solo, offline, launching offline.

Just did Lagon and I dipped about 20 frames. Wasn't doing that before the update.

I've also noticed two or three times in my past run that when I teleport to town, the portal is stuck outside of bounds. It allows you to clip into the correct areas but can't return through the portal.

Just did my first arena. Every health potion that dropped at the arena boss was floating in the air and I couldn't collect any of them. Well done. Glad all these stupid bugs are being squashed. That's sarcasm, they aren't.

Town portals still sometimes put me out of the map even though I can clip back into the map, this shouldn't happen as you can't clip through walls to get back to them, forcing you to use a way point to travel back to where the player was. Play your game devs.

Performance is still not ideal. Feels like things are poorly optimized and it's revving my cpu. Slight graphical hitching even when running at 60fps. Very noticeable on big pulls for me in certain areas.

Enemy AOE should have a red outline imo.
