I felt that the CC wasn't nearly as bad as it was at launch. I don't really have any strong thoughts on the S5 CC changes. If anything, the rare case of CC-chaining was annoying AF, but it wasn't that common.

My personal opinion is that paragon boards don't really offer meaningful choices. Everyone's board looks the same.

Tend to agree, the only thing I didn't like was a large pool of poison, then using your unstoppable to evade but right into a CC. I think it's a cheap fix for those moments

The new unique effects look interesting. Hopefully they'll get some relevance above "completely useless".

That boons and banes non-answer sounds like they're the same as the PTR, bleh.

Completely agree. They’ve just become an extension of skill choices which is to say they’ve turned into cookie cutter copy/pastes depending on end game build. There’s nothing truly exciting about anything on the board.
Edit:
I hope so too. I came back for season 4 and ended up with a ton of the generic uniques but didn’t use a damn one because none of them benefitted my incinerate sorcerer build and the fact that I couldn’t put any affixes on them made them a subpar choice.
Maybe if I had been playing one of the ice Sorc builds I would have had use of the pendant but, again, not being able to put anything on it made it feel like a waste of a slot.

It's worth a quick casual playtest to check the waters. It's pretty accessible even if you only play for about 5 hours.

What the hell is wrong with this game? I literally can't play it long enough cuz my PC gets BSOD to death multiple times in a row. No other game does this. CPU is barely heating up and all GPU temps (core / memory) are at acceptable levels and within norm at full load and I'm not even playing at 4K.

For the longest time I had an issue where my game "video" would freeze. Although the video frame would freeze, the game sound effects and my cursor would still work but I couldn't see it working. The game itself would still be running fine. Temp fix would be to drop focus from the game window and go back in (alt+tab/windows key).
However I believe I finally fixed this permanently (I think) by tweaking settings in AMD control panel. So maybe Google some stuff and see if anyone else has this problem and maybe it can be remedied in your settings. If you're getting bsod, have you tried googling the error code?

In my case, the game freezes with loud sound effect and there's only blank blue screen after that. I can't do anything but to restart my PC.
I'm not getting error codes, the blue screen is blank + there's no minidump in the Windows folder to check what the hell is causing this even. I've checked online and there's various things that could cause this, but I can't check on my end since there's no minidump and event log not showing anything.
It looks like BSOD is a very common issue with this game and I'm not the only one.

That sucks. Since you got nothing to go on, maybe just drop all in-game D4 settings to its lowest settings and disable anything unnecessary. Like drop to 1080p low, disable effects, etc. Same thing in your GPU control panel. I dont know if you have amd or nvidia, but in the AMD panel there's shit like image sharpening, anti-lag, etc. Probably similar in the nvidia control panel.
That is, if you care enough to troubleshoot it lol
Do you have one of those affected intel 13th/14th gen CPUs?
Agent_4Seven

I've 3080Ti (at stock settings, no additional OC and power tweaking) which is more than enough for 1440p at max settings with only RT shadows at max and the last two settings enabled - no RT reflections which are pointles in this game. As for CPU, I've 8700K paired with Z390 Aorus Master which is unkillable.
I'll try to go back to previous GPU driver and see what happens.

Well, it didn't help, even though at first I thought it did. This time it happened when I was just crafting gems ffs.
WTF!?

Last noob question of the season, is it possible to get all three 25% masterwork bonuses to hit the same stat? I am doing the a Heartseeker Rogue build but most of the things I am looking at show people who have pants at +8 Heartseeker. I have them max rolled at +3, I assume the only way to get it to +8 is to hit it two or three times in masterworking?
I’m sure the odds are very low and the cost is astronomical.

Runs good for me. I had to fix an issue though awhile back that I had (described it a few posts up) by disabling radeon enhanced sync (iirc) in amd control panel. But it runs solid at 1440p/144hz with 6700xt and a 5600x

Wait what new season today???
I'm sitting here trying to decide what to play... new season worth jumping into or more same as previous season?
I know there were supposed to be changes coming from PTR but i haven't really been keeping up with all that.

Content wise, same as season 4 (drastically changed helltides and are far better) but an additional end game wave based horde mode.
Otherwise, just tons of class changes, improvements to existing endgame (such as can now re-summon boss ladder bosses without needing to leave the dungeon) and unique items got massive overhauls (some are going to be arguably going from garbage to BiS), new items/tempering recipes, etc.
If you haven't played S4, it's worth checking out for sure. If you did play S4, it's arguably still worth checking out for all the sweeping changes + horde mode. I have a feeling horde mode will just become a thing to grind once BiS geared and probably lose its appeal, but we'll see.

All the tempering recipes unlocked on a season 4 character are immediately available for a new character in season 5. Blizzard oopsie in our favor! lol

Gonna rock a sorc again. That and Barb are the most fun to me. I just alternate one each season at this point.
Rogue was initially fun on release but when I beat Uber Lilith with it I haven’t ever wanted to play it again. Druid was my first 100 but the class is so not friendly to run again. You have to go level all the guardian shit, farm the green orbs, etc. plus it’s still very unique dependent to do a build. I’d consider it if they can fix those.
Season 5 looks to be another low season. Odd season team continues to take Ls, but I’m ready for another run to 100 before the expansion.

There's a lot of changes to how the game works and lots of new legendary powers and uniques that i'm interested in trying out.

Hmm if this is a smaller season before the expansion coming i may just skip this one so new expansion feels that much better when it lands.

How are the cosmetics for season 5 looking? I haven't even redeemed my deluxe edition battle pass yet.

These are the "premium" armor sets for this battle pass season, with this horse armor to cap it off
Some neat weapon and portal cosmetics too. As always, the free tier is mostly terrible.

The red looks ok. I could rock pieces I think. Not big on the bare leg look but the rest works.

If anyone ends up playing Sorc this season lemme know if there's a no-think spec so I can get the battlepass done lmao

Lillith statue rewards.
So, they do have all the tempers I had previously unlocked already. I'm a god for being level 30. Gonna do the capstone already. I bet they meant to do this since it's a 2-month season.

Time to dust off my rogue I think and give that pit a jolly good spank with some new uniques (or get myself spanked - we shall see...)

Same here, and I haven't played Sorc yet in D4 so the early survivability is giving me fits.
Along with Chain Lightning I picked up Teleport and Frost Shield, what other skills/spells do you all recommend I get into as I level up?
