Coming to you from somewhere in sanctuary. This
is episode 454
of Shattered Soul. Your dia
podcast. This episode is called Lawyers, Hot and
Treasure.
06/01/2024,
and this is Jen. I've been gone for
a while, so I'll talk to you about
that for, in a little bit, but we're
(00:21):
gonna start off with a couple of things
for,
well know, I'll just start up with why
I haven't done a show in, like, a
month. A lot of things were happening.
Nothing bad,
but my husband and I decided to
sort of spruce up this mobile home that
we're in because we haven't done much with
it in a long time, and so we
are, like, getting rid of things we didn't
(00:41):
need. Made where I was painting walls, which
I love to do. It's part of my
background and
education when I was try to be a
teacher, and
didn't
quite work out for me, but anyway, so
that's what's been happening, and
it's it was just a lot of stuff.
And I was tired and I was sick,
and there was, you know, p allergies and
(01:02):
stuff like that. So that's kind of what
was going on when me in, you know,
the time between, like, May tenth, I think
was the previous show. And today, So that's
just why those shows didn't come out because
I didn't have the energy to, you know,
fix things here and also, you know, do
regular shows. I'm gonna be able to do
that now though because things are all sorted.
(01:23):
So just if, you know, I didn't disappear,
I didn't, you know, whatever. I didn't stop
recording because I didn't want to. It just
was the way things go sometimes.
So I've gathered together a whole bunch of
things that you might wanna hear about, most
of which of course have to do with
blizzard and such. This is an article from
Po political, and it was written on 05/24/2024.
(01:44):
So it's pretty recent ish and it's titled
Uv family Sue meta and call of Duty
publisher over alleged links to gun violence.
So,
here's a little bit from that. Again, it's
from Political, and it was written by who
wrote this 1? Alex Neo.
Okay. The family of victims of the Uv
(02:05):
school shooting, filed lawsuits against tech giant meta
and major video game developer act division z
on Friday, which would be, you know, the
20 fourth, arguing the companies played a role
in, quote, grooming and, quote, the teenage gunman.
The wrongful death complaints contend that Georgia based
gun manufacturer or Daniel defense,
(02:27):
used meta owned social media platform form Instagram
and act activation Blizzard maker of the popular
call of duty video game franchise to market
the weapon used by 80 18 year old
Salvador Ramos who shot and killed 19 children
and 2 teachers and injured several others at
Rob Elementary school in Yu, Texas in 20
(02:49):
22.
The lawsuits claim Meta and Act division, quote,
our chewing up alienate teenage boys and spitting
out mass shooters, and that Instagram poor oversight
of its platform gives gun manufacturers, quote, an
unsupervised channel to speak directly to minors and,
quote, Meta does not allow gun makers to
(03:10):
directly purchase ads promoting their weapons, but does
give them the ability to create and post
on their own Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Quote, Over the last 15 years, 2 of
America's largest technology companies, defendants, act division and
meta, have collaborated with the firearm
industry in a scheme that makes the Joe
Camel campaign look laugh harmless even quaint. If
(03:31):
you don't know what that is,
the Joe Camel campaign was
for cigarettes,
long time ago, and the people that were
selling the cigarettes, the companies that were selling
the cigarettes knew that this would harm people
and didn't care, if that's kind of what
they're trying to reach, I think with that
sentence,
the filing reads.
Defendants, through products,
account millions of teenagers and pre teens among
(03:53):
their users have aided and embedded firearm
manufacturers efforts to expand the market for their
weapons by granting unprecedented
wrecked 24 7 access to children. The complaints
filed in Los Angeles superior court on the
2 year anniversary of the shooting also argued
that call of duty has created an addict
channel for violence among teenage boys and threat
(04:14):
and trained them to use the weapons in
real life.
Microsoft purchased act division in 2022
for 75000000000 dollars. Lawyers for the family
filed a separate lawsuit in County District court
against gun Daniel defense, the maker of the
Ar fifth assault weapon used by Ramos in
the shooting. In a statement act division distance
(04:35):
itself from any violent behavior. Quote, the Yu
shooting was horrendous and heartbreaking in every way
and we express our deepest sympathies to the
families and community who remain impacted by this
senseless act of violence. Millions of people around
the world enjoy playing enjoy video games without
turning to horrific acts.
Meta and Daniel Defense did not immediately respond
(04:57):
to a request for comment. And there's war
in there, but I just figured this was
kind of
something because if it was your kid that
died in this, you know, or your loved
1, if you, you know, there were teachers
that were injured as well. And
there were police that reportedly, and I'm not
sure about this, but it sounded like at
the time, the police were staying outside of
the school and doing nothing. So if you
(05:19):
know, if that affected your family, I would
think you'd be very mad and want a
lawsuit about that. That makes sense to me.
Personally,
I've always thought that call of duty could
be something that was... You know, when we...
It... When it first came out and stuff,
I never played it, but some of my
friends did.
When that came out there were quite a
few people who
(05:39):
believed that there was a...
Like, it was supposed to get young men
or just, you know,
teenagers
interested in joining the military, but it seems
it's not necessarily that's what's going on.
Anymore. There are fireworks going off outside my
house and I have no idea why, so
you might be able to pick that up
or not, but I'm just gonna keep going
here. Yeah. Let's move on a little bit.
(06:00):
Also, since today is June first, it is
pride month for for all of us who
celebrate who who feel part of that. And
I just wanted to, you know, do a
shout out for everybody. Next thing up, surprisingly,
some of you have... I've... I have even
played. Heroes at the storm. And there is
a live patch notes thing there from 05/21/2024.
(06:22):
So there is
some stuff here that has been changed. The
first thing says Rm. I don't really know
what R am means, but it's there and
it says, Var is now classified a tank.
Same hero boat. Several others have been...
Let's see. Art tan has been added. Hog
has been added. L has been added, La
(06:43):
is still disabled for normal mode and parenthesis.
White main has been added. Z has been
added. Nova has been removed and pro has
been removed. Balance updates for heroes. There is...
There's
information in here and about balance updates and
how it will change so that includes Arthur
Hog,
Junk,
Ray, if I'm saying it right,
(07:03):
Url,
and then there's some heroes updates to some
of these other ones to let's see.
A rack, Anna And,
our tennis, Arthur goes on alphabetically all the
way down, so you can pick your favorite
ones if you'd like to Moving on to
Wow head.
They have a thing here that says Dia
4 season 3 stats, emails sent out by
(07:24):
blizzard. Now they've done this before for, like,
the beta and the alpha. Don't think the
don't think the alpha but the beta and
then when the game launch. And they'd give
you your stats of, like, how many monsters
did you kill and and all this kind
of stuff. And so here's a little bit
from that. There is a copied quote here
from,
blizzard. It's says share in your victories beneath
the deserts of Ke lies the cottage of
(07:46):
the enemies you've van wander. By sift through
the surrounding sand, we've escalated a collection of
community accomplishment
from Dia
season of the construct. The glory of battle
has welcomed many booms with over 202000000
unique weeks acquired over the course of this
season and 97000000
setting all stones leveled.
(08:06):
Leveled leveled. This hard earned loot came at
a cost however and resulting in a truly
monstrous player death toll, 48700000.0
dollar million died,
wanna say dollars because D,
at the hand of Malthus his constructs at
the keeper of the Vault himself slaughtered 6700000.0.
Despite the losses suffered in the end the
(08:27):
stronger party prevail old Malthus was defeated 7500000.0
times with this un... With this un servant
of Dia slain. And the stone stolen loom
destroyed. Sanctuary lives on and its champions
venture fourth
into season for loot reborn. This article was
written by Ce s or s Si L
(08:48):
e,
and he's got a picture of his stats,
the stats particularly talk about how many monsters
slain, nightmare vault completed, senate all stones leveled
and constructs defeated.
I played a little bit of that season
and it just wasn't for me for some
reason. And so yeah, We're gonna we're gonna
move on for there. And we also have
4 Dia immortal. There is the tempe that
(09:11):
is out. They posted this on 05/21/2024.
Haven't played it yet because as I said,
I've been busy doing a ton of other
things and moving things around the house, painting
walls, get rid stuff we don't need. You
know that kind of stuff. So this is
about the tempe. And if you haven't played,
I I haven't even got to it yet.
I've seen pictures of it on Instagram and
little videos, but that's about it. So here's
(09:32):
just a little bit about this particular thing.
Tempe past wins are picking up adventure. Let
them sweep you up, then storm your way
through the burning Hills legions as the tempe.
Starting on May 23, there will be 3
way you can try out the tempe. Survive
the storm in the Tempe origin story quest
relentless tide. No class change is necessary to
(09:52):
undertake this journey as you learn of the
harsh and f and ancestral home of the
Tempe and as sacrifices they've undertaken to survive.
Second part here was command the sea and
sky in the Tempe trial dungeon once you've
learned more about the tempe origins, rain, havoc
with 3 strong recommended builds without having to
change your class or think about skill combinations.
Enter the plane, a 2 week long event
(10:15):
like the fractured plane where all participants play
as tempe. Or as the Tempe, test different
builds and try different combinations building A as
you progress. Emerging at Triumphant will earn you
a tempe is cosmetic and legendary gear. As
always you will be able to create a
new character as the tempe or use last
change, which is now available once you reach
reach West march rather than leveling or reaching
(10:36):
level
35.
There's awesome so a story
about the Tempe.
And I read it. It's pretty good. It's
Linkedin here somewhere.
I think it's called tempe origin story relentless
tide, and
it's a good story. So you could, like...
I think there's a way to click on
that and actually be able to read it
from there.
There's also the del diluted plain
(10:57):
time event going on. The story is towards
the bottom of this particular
post and it's called... We are all guilty.
It is a short story by Ryan Quinn,
and there's some lovely art in there, and
I read it. And I thought it was
really, really good. So,
if you, you know, if you like reading
stories from Blizzard games. It's a good 1.
Speaking of Dia, Mo, there are a dot...
(11:19):
Dia immortal
forums now. I don't know exactly when they
showed up, but they're here. So there's, like,
a general discussion section,
plans and communities,
different
classes, so whichever class you're playing. You can
go poke around of there and see what
other people are doing with it.
There's technical support and bug report, and then
off to the side is possibly
(11:39):
most recent stuff that's there, and I'm just
gonna read you a couple of titles, the
1 at the top from 4 hours ago.
Says sirius bug whole clan can't enter shadow
war. So that's a bug report. A lot
of these are bug reports. Fix the bug.
It's preventing my whole clan from doing shadow
war, entire clan cannot enter shadow war,
can't enter shadow war on t May 20
(12:01):
24.
Conquer event not, quote, fair play. At all.
Somebody's mad. It goes on from here,
unable to continue main storyline. So if you
got any of these problems, she can, like,
look them up and see what other people
did to fix somewhere if Blizzard responded. There's
also the Dia 4 forums, which was the
most recent forum for the Dia series to
(12:21):
have a forum. It took a while for
it to get there.
And
you know, there we are. So we've got
a picture of Lil at the top with
the Dia 4 logo and and a of
this.
And there's Pc general discussion, console discussion, looking
for group, plans and communities, share your creations
if you wanna put in your fan art
(12:41):
or your fiction, You can put it in
there that's kinda neat. I don't think I'll
be doing that, but I might read some
if it sits there. There's Pt feedback and
bug reports.
Hardcore items and crafting, all of the classes,
and
that type of thing, off to the side
here. We have season of brick reborn at
I don't know what that means. So I'm
gonna, like see... I'm scrolling over just that
line. It says there needs to be a
(13:02):
temporary reset option. It's already there for master
working. Just get. Me for more gold blizzard.
Oh, somebody mad. Okay? There's a lot of
things. That brick good drops is not fun,
it just makes us hate the game. There's
a lot of angry people in here. You
know.
I don't know why, but there's a lot
of angry people in here. Warning about a
new cheating method. I don't know what that
(13:24):
is. Let me scroll over it.
Yeah. I don't know what happened there.
This sort of thing, but I have been
playing the seasonal stuff with my original barbarian,
her and
previous to this season as far as I
know.
You can't... Like, before it was, like, make
a character, go play through the store line
(13:45):
to a certain amount, You know, I have
somebody help you if you need it, go
get a horse, you know, that kind of
thing. And
so my first character was a barbarian because
I really enjoy playing. Them, and
then, you know, the new season came out,
which I missed because I hadn't gone far
enough into, like, season 1 I missed booking
I couldn't finish as much of these
at the time required stuff in the storyline
(14:08):
event, I guess,
storyline thing.
And Took me a long time and I
couldn't get into season 1. Then season 2
was if I'm remembering correctly season of blood,
and I got in, but I had to
make a new character, and I think all
of you have had this type of fix.
So variance as well.
And it was really fun. It was super
fun, and I had a great time with
that, and I playing rogue that time because
(14:29):
I just wanted to see how it went.
And then there was the
season of the construct, which I tried doing
with a source or and it didn't work
after for his well for me And I'm
like, okay. I'll just I'll just get a
rogue or something, and then just it just
didn't hit well for me. It wasn't a
bad season. I just wasn't into it, You
know, very And then right now, we have
the current season going on with, you know,
(14:50):
goblins and such. So that's kinda of fun.
And I like what they did become...
It's not simply... Here is the regular world
that you started in with, you know, any
of your characters.
And here's all the, the, you know, everything
you could possibly do, but it's like, narrowed
down a little bit more. So if you
go into a town, there's, like, an exclamation
point over somebody's head or something like that
(15:11):
or something leading you to that character. Who
wants something, and then you go fix it.
And
it's a lot... I feel like it's quicker.
I feel like it's...
More fun because you're... You know, you're out
there fighting things pretty easily,
and it's not
filled with a lot of, like,
you know, you have ride your horse from
(15:31):
here to there or, you know, time limits
or anything like that. And some of it's
really good. Like, I just finished... Oh, here's
to quick recap of what I've been doing
in Dia 4.
Obviously, I played my very first Barbarian.
So if you see me... If you see
a Barbarian. I seen Barbarian running around with
the name. This is Jen on top of
it. That's me. And I play weird hours,
(15:51):
so I don't know if you'll find me,
but that's okay. And dale she's up, like,
level 35 maybe,
right now, I think it was really fun.
It was really fun.
There's like,
you do some of the stuff involved with,
p
and some of the stuff with, you know,
(16:12):
Npc needs this, go get it kind of
thing.
There's a lot of dungeons that seem to
be moving faster
they're not like, big dungeons. Like, little ones.
Like, here's the thing where there's probably spiders
go in and kill them, get a get
a whole chest full of stuff, you know,
that kind of thing. And
it's been really fun for me.
But the best fun I've had so far
is,
(16:32):
as you may know,
you're playing Dia 4 and you're in sort
of like a dungeon like environment,
the Butcher can show up. And I killed
him for the first time ever playing this
game with My Barbarian from the very first
character, You know, the very first character I
started with, and,
and,
I record these, but I don't do it
on Twitch. They'll be on Youtube, but I
(16:54):
have a chance to put them there, but,
then I had another
time I was playing. And there was the
butcher again and I killed him again. And
I've never been more excited about killing the
butcher because usually, it was killing my characters
and I just thought it was something to
share. Maybe all of you do it better
than I do. It took me a while
to kinda of figure it out. But
(17:14):
just having... Your character Ba Barbarian and that
didn't start at level 1.
You know, this had more levels than that.
It's it's really good. And I'm gonna, you
know, I'm gonna get off of that now
and keep going with other stuff that I
have in here, but it was super fun.
Also from Wow head is... An article title,
Dia 4 patch 1.4 0.1 patch notes now
(17:36):
available. This was 8 days ago. Master working
gold cost reduces,
written by popular popular. So here's,
they they pull right from blizzard, which makes
sense, you it about what's going on. So
here's the game update for 1.4 0.1. The
enchanting window now expert informs you that you
can't re roll into a greater.
(17:57):
Hell borne enemies in hell tied now deal
additional fire damage with their attacks I've seen
some of that, but I don't know if
I was actually in a tied. Master working
materials can now be directly trans
instead of requiring the opening of a material
real cash to receive them. Once master working
is unlocked by 1 character, it is now
always accessible on all characters across realms. This,
(18:19):
I did not know. So that's pretty cool.
The gold cost of master working has been
reduced examples
1 2 ranks 124
is unchanged. Rank 5 is reduced from 450000
to 400000.
Rank 8 is reduced from 1000000
to 800000.
Rank 12 reduced from 10000000
(18:41):
to 502000
something like that. Developers note, we want to
make the main push for master working to
be focused on the acquisition of materials and
less focused on needing the gold. We want
to avoid the pasta ability of having the
materials available but needing to take extra time
to collect the gold. The armor cap is
now displayed in the tool tip when hovering
over our in character stats. The surge damage
(19:04):
from sorcerer
enhanced charged bolts have been increased from 30
percent to 45 percent. Developers know we investigated
an issue where the surge enhanced charged bolts
was happening too frequently when enemies were tightly
stacked together which caused performance issues. We also
found that the surge damage was doing less
damage than intended while the aspect of piercing
(19:25):
static was equipped, while fixing those 2 air
issue, see the bug fixes below. We decided
that a 50 percent buff to the surge
damage would compensate for reducing how often it
props enemies are stacked together. The drop rate
for scattered prism has been increased from multiple
sources.
Treasure goblins now drop and scattered prism more
often, 15 percent chance in world tiers 1
(19:46):
and 02:25
percent chance in worlds tier 03:30
percent chance in world tier 4. World bosses
now also drop scattered prism, and the amount
they drop increases by world tier, same kind
of thing. The butcher will always drop a
sc ordered prism on defeat, which I think
maybe I had that. I was just so
happy. I actually killed the butcher on my
(20:06):
own for once, you know, It's good. Okay.
Rework item staff comparisons to be more intuitive
when the same data appears on an item
multiple times, which off most often occurs with
tempered items,
developers note. Previously, if you compare it to
item stats and it had a value appear
twice such as cool down reduction. It would
display those 2 different values
individually. We now have updated this to combine
(20:27):
those end individual values to only display 1
value making it easier to compare stats across
items. A whisper bounding requirements for defeating hell
have been reduced from feeding 3 to defeating
1, And then there's bug fixes and things
like that that you can go through if
you would like to. There's something here specifically
pointing at Pcs,
and it says piece see only fixed issues
with David D
(20:48):
frame generation, a setting update, 2 players with
David video 4000
siri, graphics cards, which was temporarily disabled due
just spill,
which was temporarily
disabled due to disabilities issues. These issues have
been fixed and the setting has been re
enabled and there's a thing about health tides
and all this other stuff. So if you're
looking for, how can I make my game
(21:08):
better? How can I fix this? Know, that
kind of thing, go there, and everything I've
been talking about that
isn't just me talking about, like, what I've
been doing personal. Is gonna be in the
show notes and you can find those very
easily
when they're done. Also wow, head. There... Is
an article titled. What is happening to Bash
barb in Dia 4 season 4 written by
(21:30):
popular popular. And there's a tiny little bit
of stuff here. So from the actual Dia,
you know, blizzard thing. It says fixed an
issue we're an barbarian bash was dealing multiplicative
damage
instead of a additive damage when combined with
the tempering That causes bash to cl. Their
as players began to comb through the patch
notes and realize this listing change coming in
(21:50):
patch 1.4 0.1, they began taking to the
official forums reddit in social media to express
their concerns about this upcoming change. Here is
1 from Rob,
underscore 2628,
who said forums new patch notes for hashtag
D 4 just released really don't understand the
reasoning behind the dash barb bug fix. We
played the cool new bar build on the
(22:11):
Pt for days. Now people are having a
blast with it in the live game, and
suddenly it's it is a bug. Players spent
a ton of their harder and mats on
re rolling all their gear bash just to
find out it gets changed completely now, and
then there's, like, a gravestone under, you know,
emoji there. We finally had a viable base
build skill build that players have been asking
for. Meanwhile, holy bolt bug eli and various
(22:32):
double dipped squared 2
multiplier builds remain untouched. And the hell tide
happened... And what the hell tied happened to
just let them have fun with that question
mark. And then Blizzard said bash is still
and the notes are being updated. Nothing was
changed for this and was actually an attempt
from the team to fix a tool tip
issue. Fixing this tool tip issue caused a
multi multiplicative scaling issue, which we experienced internally,
(22:55):
but no 1 else actually saw. We fixed
that but it accidentally landed in public notes.
We are updating the notes to reflect this,
bash stays the same and is still multiplicative.
So new Lucky for Dia 4 ba barbarian
players. It looks like it's all safe at
the moment. The team has removed the, quote,
issue and, quote, from the patch notes and
bass should remain unchanged for the time being.
(23:18):
So there's that, and I'm playing Barbarian. So
I kinda wanna know about that. On April
30, which is a while ago.
We have
a dia 4 thing here called Galvanized legend
and season 4 loot reborn, which is the
name of the season. I think I talked
about this before. But if you missed it
or if you haven't started really playing it,
(23:38):
here are some things to know, the fresh
from our public... First public test realm Dia
4, Season 4, Loot reborn begins on May
14.
You probably have been playing it since then.
Use the item station overhaul and new systems
tempering and master working to change a noteworthy
blade into a force to be feared.
Across all world tiers, tied is reborn, Lay
(23:59):
mon to fill your threat meter, marking you
as pray for the hell born, prepared to
fight side by side with the iron wolves,
which I haven't gotten to yet. A seasoned
of mercenary a company of brethren aiming to
quell the demons,
and then there's talking about master work and
tempering and these kinds of things and showing
pictures of,
you know, the stuff you get and how
(24:21):
how all of this works together,
by making items more individually impactful. We've significantly
decreased the numb of items that drop when
slay monsters. The goal here is to spend
more time
and less time sorting through the many items
that drop. For The result is that fewer
items will drop overall, but those items will
be more likely to be valuable. To compensate
and stay on par with the nora materials
(24:42):
gained from sal. Can and crafting have been
adjusted to match this change. Also forgotten souls
can now be earned from whisper bounties and
are rare drops from all elites. The gold
cost to re roll items when enchanting now
has a maximum and we've cut down on
the materials needed to perform all activities when
at the Blacks smith. Goes on from there
as a codex of power and things like
(25:03):
that. And if been looking through it a
little bit the interface, you can see the
interface of how this works with the tempering
on this particular thing I'm reading right now,
and it... It's all the blacks. It's just
all the blacks.
So we have that.
And it just keeps going and going. There's
a whole lot of stuff. There's a hell
tied reborn as well that I didn't know
before. So I'll read you a little bit
(25:24):
about that. The legions of the burning Hell
regroup to coordinate a most formidable display of
force in a health eyed reborn. Inspired by
the
blood harvest and season of blood, your ferocity
and combat draws the attention of increasingly dangerous.
Only the strongest and most well prepared can
survive this potent onslaught, unless otherwise noted, these
(25:45):
health tied changes affect both eternal and seasonal
realms and persist beyond the end of season
4 loot reborn. Threat levels and becoming hell
marked as you leave your way through health
tied, you will now generate threat. Threat is
earned based on the difficulty if the monsters
you slay and how often you're opening tortured
gifts within hell tied. There are 3 threat
levels in total with each level of increasing
(26:06):
the danger and frequency of ambush. Once you
hit level 3, you will become hell marked.
When you've been hell marked, you'll be siege
by a frenzy of densely packed monsters. If
you make it out alive, a hell will
come for you. 1 of Sanctuary most formidable
fallen warriors. Now an immensely powerful 80 agent
of hell. The hell can embody 1 of
the classes in Dia 4. Your threat level
(26:27):
resets once the hell ambush has been activated
or if you succumb to the overwhelming forces
of had and Perish. Un bla me Cursed
ritual. It's a scene of shocking gore. The
cursed ritual is the ultimate testament to the
disturbing links these manic cult will go to
to appease their dark desires. It is here
where you could begin the cursed ritual. I
(26:48):
did see this with these 3 bodies that
seem to be headless in a circle. These
with rooms and stuff like that. And 3
mostly equal sized rocks around them and a
bunch of, like, like, rooms and things written,
and I don't know who these people were.
But anyway, So this is what you do
with this thing apparently, bane hearts could be
earned by opening tortured gifts throughout hell tied,
and by defeating hell born enemies.
(27:10):
Deposit 3 bane
to begin the ritual, which will commence with
a swarm of demonic enemies. This ambush will
end with the arrival of the formidable blood
maiden an immensely powerful demon who offers great
reward upon her death, contributing to any bane
hearts to initiate this dark ritual will grant
you increased rewards as a contribution bonus, And
then there's talking about health tides and tear
(27:30):
1 tier 2. And Da is part of
this made in of anguish. I'm not gonna
go overall all that because I'm gonna guess
most of you, if you've been playing
a reasonable amount of Dia 4, you probably
already know where and Da is or all
of that. And then the iron wolf thing
is right here at the bottom. It's just
about.
And
yeah. And it tells you like what to
do. I think everybody's been there though. So
(27:51):
anyway, there's that. There's also a season journey
in battle pass. And I haven't really looked
at it much.
But I'll have to because I keep forgetting
to do that. And so that's that's what's
going on with that 1.
And then we have...
Celebrate the Dia
anniversary with March of the goblins, and this
was posted,
like 2 days ago. Come 1, come all
to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Dia
(28:13):
4. And the 2 year anniversary of Dia
Immortal. Share in a goblins heap of rewards
to mark another year of

Enjoy the revel with the bounty of devilish
goods to sink your teeth into across Dia
4 and Dia immortal. Thank you for being
part of the dia community through another year
fighting back the demonic forces of hell. For
(28:34):
a handy reference, all of our March of
the Goblins
anniversary celebrations, here's all of our events. So
for Dia 4 March of the goblins, Part
1 includes March of the goblins from June
6 through 13.
And also free gifts in the shop for
March of the goblins from June 6 to
12 if can claim it until June 20.

claim until June 20, goblins p, June 6
02:20,
Gold cursed Goliath, 6 June 6 through 18,
March of the goblins, which is trial of
p and regard. And that is gonna be
a June 6 through 13. And then there's,
like, other stuff. There's, like, cosmetic stuff you
(29:17):
can get.
Looks like horses and weapons and such.
So part 1, March of the goblins, there
are whispers of increased treasure goblins in the
area. They've been worked into a feather because
it seems their hoarding and dropping even more
than usual. From June 6 to June 13,
increased treasure goblin activity will be present across
sanctuary with Her roger scholars for telling the
(29:38):
sense of their greed filled bags rumored to
be richer than ever before. The towns folk
are predicting that green shrines will appear with
increased frequency bolstering the riches of these true
goblins,
even stranger still, while in dungeons, goblins are
supposedly appearing in pairs with some tall tails
insisting and even larger pack of them together.
And part 2 is the mother's blessing
(29:58):
anniversary edition for the second part of the
Dia
anniversary our blessed mother celebrates 1 year since
her faithful return to sanctuary.
During this anniversary edition of mother's blessing, earn
experience at 25 percent and gold at 50
percent multiplicative increased rate. This anniversary celebration of
Mother's blessing will last 10 days in total.
Lilith bless all of her children as this
(30:21):
bonus applies both seasonal and eternal realms and
all world tiers. This bonus also of stacks,
so pair it with eli and the earn
of aggression to maximize your experience gains while
killing monsters. Use this limited time boost to
carve through ranks of the battle pass, climb
higher levels and world tier with Burning swift,
complete your season journey and level multiple characters
(30:42):
to the max to their maximum potential. And
then it's going into, the Dia mortal version
of this. That's there as well. The gold
K goliath with all these things I just
said a little while ago are in there.
It's also March with the goblins there. Whole
lot of stuff going on.
And I actually did kill, like, I... In
in dia 3, I was really good to
kill treasure goblins. When I got to dia
(31:03):
before, I was not really good at at
doing that at all. You know. So...
Yeah,
that's a thing. That is thing. And
I actually killed the treasure goblin on my
own because I play solo low at weird
hours of the night and or morning, I
guess.
And
got some stuff from it, and then I
(31:23):
went chasing after another 1 which obviously
winds away from you and tries to get
you stuck in a mob of monsters. And
it worked. I I got something from it,
I think. So it was it was kind
of interesting overall, and there's just a lot
of stuff happening here.
And then the the last of the is
a post from... I'm gonna... I hope I
(31:43):
get this name right.
It's ZXTIMUSI
hope I'm getting that at least close.
And he posted a screenshot of the original
Dia 1 and wrote dia 1 alpha version
03/05/1996,
and it is as Blurry as you remember
it, and I think it's really cool that
(32:04):
he found that and stuck it online for
all of us to be like, oh, yeah.
I played that. I mean me, that was
my first Ab game, and I just played
it over and over again and had such
a great time. And then Dia 2 came
out, and my computer was not strong enough
to handle it at the time at all,
but it was a lot of fun. It
was a heck of a lot of fun.
(32:25):
And
so shout out to to z or ex
miss. I'm not sure. I I hope 1
of these is right because I would have
missed that otherwise, and I just decided to
you know, hey. There's gotta be people listening
to the sound of my voice in this
that have played Dia 1.
So there we are. And with that, I'm
going to close out the show. You have
been listening to episode 454

of Shattered Soul. Your dia

Treasure.
06/01/2024,
and this is Jen. I've been gone for
a while, so I'll talk to you about
that for, in a little bit, but we're
(00:21):
gonna start off with a couple of things
for,
well know, I'll just start up with why
I haven't done a show in, like, a
month. A lot of things were happening.
Nothing bad,
but my husband and I decided to
sort of spruce up this mobile home that
we're in because we haven't done much with
it in a long time, and so we
are, like, getting rid of things we didn't
(00:41):
need. Made where I was painting walls, which
I love to do. It's part of my
background and
education when I was try to be a
teacher, and
didn't
quite work out for me, but anyway, so
that's what's been happening, and
it's it was just a lot of stuff.
And I was tired and I was sick,
and there was, you know, p allergies and
(01:02):
stuff like that. So that's kind of what
was going on when me in, you know,
the time between, like, May tenth, I think
was the previous show. And today, So that's
just why those shows didn't come out because
I didn't have the energy to, you know,
fix things here and also, you know, do
regular shows. I'm gonna be able to do
that now though because things are all sorted.
(01:23):
So just if, you know, I didn't disappear,
I didn't, you know, whatever. I didn't stop
recording because I didn't want to. It just
was the way things go sometimes.
So I've gathered together a whole bunch of
things that you might wanna hear about, most
of which of course have to do with
blizzard and such. This is an article from
Po political, and it was written on 05/24/2024.
(01:44):
So it's pretty recent ish and it's titled
Uv family Sue meta and call of Duty
publisher over alleged links to gun violence.
So,
here's a little bit from that. Again, it's
from Political, and it was written by who
wrote this 1? Alex Neo.
Okay. The family of victims of the Uv
(02:05):
school shooting, filed lawsuits against tech giant meta
and major video game developer act division z
on Friday, which would be, you know, the
20 fourth, arguing the companies played a role
in, quote, grooming and, quote, the teenage gunman.
The wrongful death complaints contend that Georgia based
gun manufacturer or Daniel defense,
(02:27):
used meta owned social media platform form Instagram
and act activation Blizzard maker of the popular
call of duty video game franchise to market
the weapon used by 80 18 year old
Salvador Ramos who shot and killed 19 children
and 2 teachers and injured several others at
Rob Elementary school in Yu, Texas in 20
(02:49):
22.
The lawsuits claim Meta and Act division, quote,
our chewing up alienate teenage boys and spitting
out mass shooters, and that Instagram poor oversight
of its platform gives gun manufacturers, quote, an
unsupervised channel to speak directly to minors and,
quote, Meta does not allow gun makers to
(03:10):
directly purchase ads promoting their weapons, but does
give them the ability to create and post
on their own Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Quote, Over the last 15 years, 2 of
America's largest technology companies, defendants, act division and
meta, have collaborated with the firearm
industry in a scheme that makes the Joe
Camel campaign look laugh harmless even quaint. If
(03:31):
you don't know what that is,
the Joe Camel campaign was
for cigarettes,
long time ago, and the people that were
selling the cigarettes, the companies that were selling
the cigarettes knew that this would harm people
and didn't care, if that's kind of what
they're trying to reach, I think with that
sentence,
the filing reads.
Defendants, through products,
account millions of teenagers and pre teens among
(03:53):
their users have aided and embedded firearm
manufacturers efforts to expand the market for their
weapons by granting unprecedented
wrecked 24 7 access to children. The complaints
filed in Los Angeles superior court on the
2 year anniversary of the shooting also argued
that call of duty has created an addict
channel for violence among teenage boys and threat
(04:14):
and trained them to use the weapons in
real life.
Microsoft purchased act division in 2022
for 75000000000 dollars. Lawyers for the family
filed a separate lawsuit in County District court
against gun Daniel defense, the maker of the
Ar fifth assault weapon used by Ramos in
the shooting. In a statement act division distance
(04:35):
itself from any violent behavior. Quote, the Yu
shooting was horrendous and heartbreaking in every way
and we express our deepest sympathies to the
families and community who remain impacted by this
senseless act of violence. Millions of people around
the world enjoy playing enjoy video games without
turning to horrific acts.
Meta and Daniel Defense did not immediately respond
(04:57):
to a request for comment. And there's war
in there, but I just figured this was
kind of
something because if it was your kid that
died in this, you know, or your loved
1, if you, you know, there were teachers
that were injured as well. And
there were police that reportedly, and I'm not
sure about this, but it sounded like at
the time, the police were staying outside of
the school and doing nothing. So if you
(05:19):
know, if that affected your family, I would
think you'd be very mad and want a
lawsuit about that. That makes sense to me.
Personally,
I've always thought that call of duty could
be something that was... You know, when we...
It... When it first came out and stuff,
I never played it, but some of my
friends did.
When that came out there were quite a
few people who
(05:39):
believed that there was a...
Like, it was supposed to get young men
or just, you know,
teenagers
interested in joining the military, but it seems
it's not necessarily that's what's going on.
Anymore. There are fireworks going off outside my
house and I have no idea why, so
you might be able to pick that up
or not, but I'm just gonna keep going
here. Yeah. Let's move on a little bit.
(06:00):
Also, since today is June first, it is
pride month for for all of us who
celebrate who who feel part of that. And
I just wanted to, you know, do a
shout out for everybody. Next thing up, surprisingly,
some of you have... I've... I have even
played. Heroes at the storm. And there is
a live patch notes thing there from 05/21/2024.
(06:22):
So there is
some stuff here that has been changed. The
first thing says Rm. I don't really know
what R am means, but it's there and
it says, Var is now classified a tank.
Same hero boat. Several others have been...
Let's see. Art tan has been added. Hog
has been added. L has been added, La
(06:43):
is still disabled for normal mode and parenthesis.
White main has been added. Z has been
added. Nova has been removed and pro has
been removed. Balance updates for heroes. There is...
There's
information in here and about balance updates and
how it will change so that includes Arthur
Hog,
Junk,
Ray, if I'm saying it right,
(07:03):
Url,
and then there's some heroes updates to some
of these other ones to let's see.
A rack, Anna And,
our tennis, Arthur goes on alphabetically all the
way down, so you can pick your favorite
ones if you'd like to Moving on to
Wow head.
They have a thing here that says Dia
4 season 3 stats, emails sent out by
(07:24):
blizzard. Now they've done this before for, like,
the beta and the alpha. Don't think the
don't think the alpha but the beta and
then when the game launch. And they'd give
you your stats of, like, how many monsters
did you kill and and all this kind
of stuff. And so here's a little bit
from that. There is a copied quote here
from,
blizzard. It's says share in your victories beneath
the deserts of Ke lies the cottage of
(07:46):
the enemies you've van wander. By sift through
the surrounding sand, we've escalated a collection of
community accomplishment
from Dia
season of the construct. The glory of battle
has welcomed many booms with over 202000000
unique weeks acquired over the course of this
season and 97000000
setting all stones leveled.
(08:06):
Leveled leveled. This hard earned loot came at
a cost however and resulting in a truly
monstrous player death toll, 48700000.0
dollar million died,
wanna say dollars because D,
at the hand of Malthus his constructs at
the keeper of the Vault himself slaughtered 6700000.0.
Despite the losses suffered in the end the
(08:27):
stronger party prevail old Malthus was defeated 7500000.0
times with this un... With this un servant
of Dia slain. And the stone stolen loom
destroyed. Sanctuary lives on and its champions
venture fourth
into season for loot reborn. This article was
written by Ce s or s Si L
(08:48):
e,
and he's got a picture of his stats,
the stats particularly talk about how many monsters
slain, nightmare vault completed, senate all stones leveled
and constructs defeated.
I played a little bit of that season
and it just wasn't for me for some
reason. And so yeah, We're gonna we're gonna
move on for there. And we also have
4 Dia immortal. There is the tempe that
(09:11):
is out. They posted this on 05/21/2024.
Haven't played it yet because as I said,
I've been busy doing a ton of other
things and moving things around the house, painting
walls, get rid stuff we don't need. You
know that kind of stuff. So this is
about the tempe. And if you haven't played,
I I haven't even got to it yet.
I've seen pictures of it on Instagram and
little videos, but that's about it. So here's
(09:32):
just a little bit about this particular thing.
Tempe past wins are picking up adventure. Let
them sweep you up, then storm your way
through the burning Hills legions as the tempe.
Starting on May 23, there will be 3
way you can try out the tempe. Survive
the storm in the Tempe origin story quest
relentless tide. No class change is necessary to
(09:52):
undertake this journey as you learn of the
harsh and f and ancestral home of the
Tempe and as sacrifices they've undertaken to survive.
Second part here was command the sea and
sky in the Tempe trial dungeon once you've
learned more about the tempe origins, rain, havoc
with 3 strong recommended builds without having to
change your class or think about skill combinations.
Enter the plane, a 2 week long event
(10:15):
like the fractured plane where all participants play
as tempe. Or as the Tempe, test different
builds and try different combinations building A as
you progress. Emerging at Triumphant will earn you
a tempe is cosmetic and legendary gear. As
always you will be able to create a
new character as the tempe or use last
change, which is now available once you reach
reach West march rather than leveling or reaching
(10:36):
level
35.
There's awesome so a story
about the Tempe.
And I read it. It's pretty good. It's
Linkedin here somewhere.
I think it's called tempe origin story relentless
tide, and
it's a good story. So you could, like...
I think there's a way to click on
that and actually be able to read it
from there.
There's also the del diluted plain
(10:57):
time event going on. The story is towards
the bottom of this particular
post and it's called... We are all guilty.
It is a short story by Ryan Quinn,
and there's some lovely art in there, and
I read it. And I thought it was
really, really good. So,
if you, you know, if you like reading
stories from Blizzard games. It's a good 1.
Speaking of Dia, Mo, there are a dot...
(11:19):
Dia immortal
forums now. I don't know exactly when they
showed up, but they're here. So there's, like,
a general discussion section,
plans and communities,
different
classes, so whichever class you're playing. You can
go poke around of there and see what
other people are doing with it.
There's technical support and bug report, and then
off to the side is possibly
(11:39):
most recent stuff that's there, and I'm just
gonna read you a couple of titles, the
1 at the top from 4 hours ago.
Says sirius bug whole clan can't enter shadow
war. So that's a bug report. A lot
of these are bug reports. Fix the bug.
It's preventing my whole clan from doing shadow
war, entire clan cannot enter shadow war,
can't enter shadow war on t May 20
(12:01):
24.
Conquer event not, quote, fair play. At all.
Somebody's mad. It goes on from here,
unable to continue main storyline. So if you
got any of these problems, she can, like,
look them up and see what other people
did to fix somewhere if Blizzard responded. There's
also the Dia 4 forums, which was the
most recent forum for the Dia series to
(12:21):
have a forum. It took a while for
it to get there.
And
you know, there we are. So we've got
a picture of Lil at the top with
the Dia 4 logo and and a of
this.
And there's Pc general discussion, console discussion, looking
for group, plans and communities, share your creations
if you wanna put in your fan art
(12:41):
or your fiction, You can put it in
there that's kinda neat. I don't think I'll
be doing that, but I might read some
if it sits there. There's Pt feedback and
bug reports.
Hardcore items and crafting, all of the classes,
and
that type of thing, off to the side
here. We have season of brick reborn at
I don't know what that means. So I'm
gonna, like see... I'm scrolling over just that
line. It says there needs to be a
(13:02):
temporary reset option. It's already there for master
working. Just get. Me for more gold blizzard.
Oh, somebody mad. Okay? There's a lot of
things. That brick good drops is not fun,
it just makes us hate the game. There's
a lot of angry people in here. You
know.
I don't know why, but there's a lot
of angry people in here. Warning about a
new cheating method. I don't know what that
(13:24):
is. Let me scroll over it.
Yeah. I don't know what happened there.
This sort of thing, but I have been
playing the seasonal stuff with my original barbarian,
her and
previous to this season as far as I
know.
You can't... Like, before it was, like, make
a character, go play through the store line
(13:45):
to a certain amount, You know, I have
somebody help you if you need it, go
get a horse, you know, that kind of
thing. And
so my first character was a barbarian because
I really enjoy playing. Them, and
then, you know, the new season came out,
which I missed because I hadn't gone far
enough into, like, season 1 I missed booking
I couldn't finish as much of these
at the time required stuff in the storyline
(14:08):
event, I guess,
storyline thing.
And Took me a long time and I
couldn't get into season 1. Then season 2
was if I'm remembering correctly season of blood,
and I got in, but I had to
make a new character, and I think all
of you have had this type of fix.
So variance as well.
And it was really fun. It was super
fun, and I had a great time with
that, and I playing rogue that time because
(14:29):
I just wanted to see how it went.
And then there was the
season of the construct, which I tried doing
with a source or and it didn't work
after for his well for me And I'm
like, okay. I'll just I'll just get a
rogue or something, and then just it just
didn't hit well for me. It wasn't a
bad season. I just wasn't into it, You
know, very And then right now, we have
the current season going on with, you know,
(14:50):
goblins and such. So that's kinda of fun.
And I like what they did become...
It's not simply... Here is the regular world
that you started in with, you know, any
of your characters.
And here's all the, the, you know, everything
you could possibly do, but it's like, narrowed
down a little bit more. So if you
go into a town, there's, like, an exclamation
point over somebody's head or something like that
(15:11):
or something leading you to that character. Who
wants something, and then you go fix it.
And
it's a lot... I feel like it's quicker.
I feel like it's...
More fun because you're... You know, you're out
there fighting things pretty easily,
and it's not
filled with a lot of, like,
you know, you have ride your horse from
(15:31):
here to there or, you know, time limits
or anything like that. And some of it's
really good. Like, I just finished... Oh, here's
to quick recap of what I've been doing
in Dia 4.
Obviously, I played my very first Barbarian.
So if you see me... If you see
a Barbarian. I seen Barbarian running around with
the name. This is Jen on top of
it. That's me. And I play weird hours,
(15:51):
so I don't know if you'll find me,
but that's okay. And dale she's up, like,
level 35 maybe,
right now, I think it was really fun.
It was really fun.
There's like,
you do some of the stuff involved with,
p
and some of the stuff with, you know,
(16:12):
Npc needs this, go get it kind of
thing.
There's a lot of dungeons that seem to
be moving faster
they're not like, big dungeons. Like, little ones.
Like, here's the thing where there's probably spiders
go in and kill them, get a get
a whole chest full of stuff, you know,
that kind of thing. And
it's been really fun for me.
But the best fun I've had so far
is,
(16:32):
as you may know,
you're playing Dia 4 and you're in sort
of like a dungeon like environment,
the Butcher can show up. And I killed
him for the first time ever playing this
game with My Barbarian from the very first
character, You know, the very first character I
started with, and,
and,
I record these, but I don't do it
on Twitch. They'll be on Youtube, but I
(16:54):
have a chance to put them there, but,
then I had another
time I was playing. And there was the
butcher again and I killed him again. And
I've never been more excited about killing the
butcher because usually, it was killing my characters
and I just thought it was something to
share. Maybe all of you do it better
than I do. It took me a while
to kinda of figure it out. But
(17:14):
just having... Your character Ba Barbarian and that
didn't start at level 1.
You know, this had more levels than that.
It's it's really good. And I'm gonna, you
know, I'm gonna get off of that now
and keep going with other stuff that I
have in here, but it was super fun.
Also from Wow head is... An article title,
Dia 4 patch 1.4 0.1 patch notes now
(17:36):
available. This was 8 days ago. Master working
gold cost reduces,
written by popular popular. So here's,
they they pull right from blizzard, which makes
sense, you it about what's going on. So
here's the game update for 1.4 0.1. The
enchanting window now expert informs you that you
can't re roll into a greater.
(17:57):
Hell borne enemies in hell tied now deal
additional fire damage with their attacks I've seen
some of that, but I don't know if
I was actually in a tied. Master working
materials can now be directly trans
instead of requiring the opening of a material
real cash to receive them. Once master working
is unlocked by 1 character, it is now
always accessible on all characters across realms. This,
(18:19):
I did not know. So that's pretty cool.
The gold cost of master working has been
reduced examples
1 2 ranks 124
is unchanged. Rank 5 is reduced from 450000
to 400000.
Rank 8 is reduced from 1000000
to 800000.
Rank 12 reduced from 10000000
(18:41):
to 502000
something like that. Developers note, we want to
make the main push for master working to
be focused on the acquisition of materials and
less focused on needing the gold. We want
to avoid the pasta ability of having the
materials available but needing to take extra time
to collect the gold. The armor cap is
now displayed in the tool tip when hovering
over our in character stats. The surge damage
(19:04):
from sorcerer
enhanced charged bolts have been increased from 30
percent to 45 percent. Developers know we investigated
an issue where the surge enhanced charged bolts
was happening too frequently when enemies were tightly
stacked together which caused performance issues. We also
found that the surge damage was doing less
damage than intended while the aspect of piercing
(19:25):
static was equipped, while fixing those 2 air
issue, see the bug fixes below. We decided
that a 50 percent buff to the surge
damage would compensate for reducing how often it
props enemies are stacked together. The drop rate
for scattered prism has been increased from multiple
sources.
Treasure goblins now drop and scattered prism more
often, 15 percent chance in world tiers 1
(19:46):
and 02:25
percent chance in worlds tier 03:30
percent chance in world tier 4. World bosses
now also drop scattered prism, and the amount
they drop increases by world tier, same kind
of thing. The butcher will always drop a
sc ordered prism on defeat, which I think
maybe I had that. I was just so
happy. I actually killed the butcher on my
(20:06):
own for once, you know, It's good. Okay.
Rework item staff comparisons to be more intuitive
when the same data appears on an item
multiple times, which off most often occurs with
tempered items,
developers note. Previously, if you compare it to
item stats and it had a value appear
twice such as cool down reduction. It would
display those 2 different values
individually. We now have updated this to combine
(20:27):
those end individual values to only display 1
value making it easier to compare stats across
items. A whisper bounding requirements for defeating hell
have been reduced from feeding 3 to defeating
1, And then there's bug fixes and things
like that that you can go through if
you would like to. There's something here specifically
pointing at Pcs,
and it says piece see only fixed issues
with David D
(20:48):
frame generation, a setting update, 2 players with
David video 4000
siri, graphics cards, which was temporarily disabled due
just spill,
which was temporarily
disabled due to disabilities issues. These issues have
been fixed and the setting has been re
enabled and there's a thing about health tides
and all this other stuff. So if you're
looking for, how can I make my game
(21:08):
better? How can I fix this? Know, that
kind of thing, go there, and everything I've
been talking about that
isn't just me talking about, like, what I've
been doing personal. Is gonna be in the
show notes and you can find those very
easily
when they're done. Also wow, head. There... Is
an article titled. What is happening to Bash
barb in Dia 4 season 4 written by
(21:30):
popular popular. And there's a tiny little bit
of stuff here. So from the actual Dia,
you know, blizzard thing. It says fixed an
issue we're an barbarian bash was dealing multiplicative
damage
instead of a additive damage when combined with
the tempering That causes bash to cl. Their
as players began to comb through the patch
notes and realize this listing change coming in
(21:50):
patch 1.4 0.1, they began taking to the
official forums reddit in social media to express
their concerns about this upcoming change. Here is
1 from Rob,
underscore 2628,
who said forums new patch notes for hashtag
D 4 just released really don't understand the
reasoning behind the dash barb bug fix. We
played the cool new bar build on the
(22:11):
Pt for days. Now people are having a
blast with it in the live game, and
suddenly it's it is a bug. Players spent
a ton of their harder and mats on
re rolling all their gear bash just to
find out it gets changed completely now, and
then there's, like, a gravestone under, you know,
emoji there. We finally had a viable base
build skill build that players have been asking
for. Meanwhile, holy bolt bug eli and various
(22:32):
double dipped squared 2
multiplier builds remain untouched. And the hell tide
happened... And what the hell tied happened to
just let them have fun with that question
mark. And then Blizzard said bash is still
and the notes are being updated. Nothing was
changed for this and was actually an attempt
from the team to fix a tool tip
issue. Fixing this tool tip issue caused a
multi multiplicative scaling issue, which we experienced internally,
(22:55):
but no 1 else actually saw. We fixed
that but it accidentally landed in public notes.
We are updating the notes to reflect this,
bash stays the same and is still multiplicative.
So new Lucky for Dia 4 ba barbarian
players. It looks like it's all safe at
the moment. The team has removed the, quote,
issue and, quote, from the patch notes and
bass should remain unchanged for the time being.
(23:18):
So there's that, and I'm playing Barbarian. So
I kinda wanna know about that. On April
30, which is a while ago.
We have
a dia 4 thing here called Galvanized legend
and season 4 loot reborn, which is the
name of the season. I think I talked
about this before. But if you missed it
or if you haven't started really playing it,
(23:38):
here are some things to know, the fresh
from our public... First public test realm Dia
4, Season 4, Loot reborn begins on May
14.
You probably have been playing it since then.
Use the item station overhaul and new systems
tempering and master working to change a noteworthy
blade into a force to be feared.
Across all world tiers, tied is reborn, Lay
(23:59):
mon to fill your threat meter, marking you
as pray for the hell born, prepared to
fight side by side with the iron wolves,
which I haven't gotten to yet. A seasoned
of mercenary a company of brethren aiming to
quell the demons,
and then there's talking about master work and
tempering and these kinds of things and showing
pictures of,
you know, the stuff you get and how
(24:21):
how all of this works together,
by making items more individually impactful. We've significantly
decreased the numb of items that drop when
slay monsters. The goal here is to spend
more time
and less time sorting through the many items
that drop. For The result is that fewer
items will drop overall, but those items will
be more likely to be valuable. To compensate
and stay on par with the nora materials
(24:42):
gained from sal. Can and crafting have been
adjusted to match this change. Also forgotten souls
can now be earned from whisper bounties and
are rare drops from all elites. The gold
cost to re roll items when enchanting now
has a maximum and we've cut down on
the materials needed to perform all activities when
at the Blacks smith. Goes on from there
as a codex of power and things like
(25:03):
that. And if been looking through it a
little bit the interface, you can see the
interface of how this works with the tempering
on this particular thing I'm reading right now,
and it... It's all the blacks. It's just
all the blacks.
So we have that.
And it just keeps going and going. There's
a whole lot of stuff. There's a hell
tied reborn as well that I didn't know
before. So I'll read you a little bit
(25:24):
about that. The legions of the burning Hell
regroup to coordinate a most formidable display of
force in a health eyed reborn. Inspired by
the
blood harvest and season of blood, your ferocity
and combat draws the attention of increasingly dangerous.
Only the strongest and most well prepared can
survive this potent onslaught, unless otherwise noted, these
(25:45):
health tied changes affect both eternal and seasonal
realms and persist beyond the end of season
4 loot reborn. Threat levels and becoming hell
marked as you leave your way through health
tied, you will now generate threat. Threat is
earned based on the difficulty if the monsters
you slay and how often you're opening tortured
gifts within hell tied. There are 3 threat
levels in total with each level of increasing
(26:06):
the danger and frequency of ambush. Once you
hit level 3, you will become hell marked.
When you've been hell marked, you'll be siege
by a frenzy of densely packed monsters. If
you make it out alive, a hell will
come for you. 1 of Sanctuary most formidable
fallen warriors. Now an immensely powerful 80 agent
of hell. The hell can embody 1 of
the classes in Dia 4. Your threat level
(26:27):
resets once the hell ambush has been activated
or if you succumb to the overwhelming forces
of had and Perish. Un bla me Cursed
ritual. It's a scene of shocking gore. The
cursed ritual is the ultimate testament to the
disturbing links these manic cult will go to
to appease their dark desires. It is here
where you could begin the cursed ritual. I
(26:48):
did see this with these 3 bodies that
seem to be headless in a circle. These
with rooms and stuff like that. And 3
mostly equal sized rocks around them and a
bunch of, like, like, rooms and things written,
and I don't know who these people were.
But anyway, So this is what you do
with this thing apparently, bane hearts could be
earned by opening tortured gifts throughout hell tied,
and by defeating hell born enemies.
(27:10):
Deposit 3 bane
to begin the ritual, which will commence with
a swarm of demonic enemies. This ambush will
end with the arrival of the formidable blood
maiden an immensely powerful demon who offers great
reward upon her death, contributing to any bane
hearts to initiate this dark ritual will grant
you increased rewards as a contribution bonus, And
then there's talking about health tides and tear
(27:30):
1 tier 2. And Da is part of
this made in of anguish. I'm not gonna
go overall all that because I'm gonna guess
most of you, if you've been playing
a reasonable amount of Dia 4, you probably
already know where and Da is or all
of that. And then the iron wolf thing
is right here at the bottom. It's just
about.
And
yeah. And it tells you like what to
do. I think everybody's been there though. So
(27:51):
anyway, there's that. There's also a season journey
in battle pass. And I haven't really looked
at it much.
But I'll have to because I keep forgetting
to do that. And so that's that's what's
going on with that 1.
And then we have...
Celebrate the Dia
anniversary with March of the goblins, and this
was posted,
like 2 days ago. Come 1, come all
to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Dia
(28:13):
4. And the 2 year anniversary of Dia
Immortal. Share in a goblins heap of rewards
to mark another year of
across sanctuary.
Enjoy the revel with the bounty of devilish
goods to sink your teeth into across Dia
4 and Dia immortal. Thank you for being
part of the dia community through another year
fighting back the demonic forces of hell. For
(28:34):
a handy reference, all of our March of
the Goblins
anniversary celebrations, here's all of our events. So
for Dia 4 March of the goblins, Part
1 includes March of the goblins from June
6 through 13.
And also free gifts in the shop for
March of the goblins from June 6 to
12 if can claim it until June 20.
Part 2 his mother's blessing. Dia Mo of
(28:56):
the goblins
free. 5 star legendary gem gift, June 13,
claim until June 20, goblins p, June 6
02:20,
Gold cursed Goliath, 6 June 6 through 18,
March of the goblins, which is trial of
p and regard. And that is gonna be
a June 6 through 13. And then there's,
like, other stuff. There's, like, cosmetic stuff you
(29:17):
can get.
Looks like horses and weapons and such.
So part 1, March of the goblins, there
are whispers of increased treasure goblins in the
area. They've been worked into a feather because
it seems their hoarding and dropping even more
than usual. From June 6 to June 13,
increased treasure goblin activity will be present across
sanctuary with Her roger scholars for telling the
(29:38):
sense of their greed filled bags rumored to
be richer than ever before. The towns folk
are predicting that green shrines will appear with
increased frequency bolstering the riches of these true
goblins,
even stranger still, while in dungeons, goblins are
supposedly appearing in pairs with some tall tails
insisting and even larger pack of them together.
And part 2 is the mother's blessing
(29:58):
anniversary edition for the second part of the
Dia
anniversary our blessed mother celebrates 1 year since
her faithful return to sanctuary.
During this anniversary edition of mother's blessing, earn
experience at 25 percent and gold at 50
percent multiplicative increased rate. This anniversary celebration of
Mother's blessing will last 10 days in total.
Lilith bless all of her children as this
(30:21):
bonus applies both seasonal and eternal realms and
all world tiers. This bonus also of stacks,
so pair it with eli and the earn
of aggression to maximize your experience gains while
killing monsters. Use this limited time boost to
carve through ranks of the battle pass, climb
higher levels and world tier with Burning swift,
complete your season journey and level multiple characters
(30:42):
to the max to their maximum potential. And
then it's going into, the Dia mortal version
of this. That's there as well. The gold
K goliath with all these things I just
said a little while ago are in there.
It's also March with the goblins there. Whole
lot of stuff going on.
And I actually did kill, like, I... In
in dia 3, I was really good to
kill treasure goblins. When I got to dia
(31:03):
before, I was not really good at at
doing that at all. You know. So...
Yeah,
that's a thing. That is thing. And
I actually killed the treasure goblin on my
own because I play solo low at weird
hours of the night and or morning, I
guess.
And
got some stuff from it, and then I
(31:23):
went chasing after another 1 which obviously
winds away from you and tries to get
you stuck in a mob of monsters. And
it worked. I I got something from it,
I think. So it was it was kind
of interesting overall, and there's just a lot
of stuff happening here.
And then the the last of the is
a post from... I'm gonna... I hope I
(31:43):
get this name right.
It's ZXTIMUSI
hope I'm getting that at least close.
And he posted a screenshot of the original
Dia 1 and wrote dia 1 alpha version
03/05/1996,
and it is as Blurry as you remember
it, and I think it's really cool that
(32:04):
he found that and stuck it online for
all of us to be like, oh, yeah.
I played that. I mean me, that was
my first Ab game, and I just played
it over and over again and had such
a great time. And then Dia 2 came
out, and my computer was not strong enough
to handle it at the time at all,
but it was a lot of fun. It
was a heck of a lot of fun.
(32:25):
And
so shout out to to z or ex
miss. I'm not sure. I I hope 1
of these is right because I would have
missed that otherwise, and I just decided to
you know, hey. There's gotta be people listening
to the sound of my voice in this
that have played Dia 1.
So there we are. And with that, I'm
going to close out the show. You have
