The journey home begins. New Zealand and ExileCon were a once in a lifetime experience I’ll never forget. Everyone was nice and welcoming, and the country was extremely fun to explore. Path of Exile’s future looks brighter than ever; I can’t wait to play the new leagues.

Thank having me!

Exilecon Day 2! Taking a lunch break from the convention, I decided to go on a nice walk in Devonport!

Exilecon Day 1 Begins! I’ll be hosting the Path of Exile gameplay showcase with Octavian at 15:00. I wanted to reach out to the community and see if there are any questions you'd like asked after the reveal?

Took the family to explore Auckland Zoo today! One more day until ExileCon!

Checked off a bucket list item by visiting Hobbiton! I never thought I'd travel across the world to see the set of one of my favorite movies.

Made it to New Zealand for ExileCon! This is my first international trip, I am so excited to do some exploring with the family!

Happy Halloween! Made it to our first layover in California. Excited to reach New Zealand for ExileCon!

Some thoughts on Diablo 4 Season 15.

I finished out my season and managed to get top 10 Warlock on the Tower Leaderboards. Overall, this was one of the best Diablo 4 seasons, aside from the bugs and delays. Next season, I hope they add some new skills or runes to mix up the meta r balance. Keep the 3:1 crafted Mythic recipe, since it was a nice resource dump and focus less on powers that just give damage and more on systems that synergize and change farming strategies through the War Plans system. I am still not a fan of the new Mythic system. I hope some of the Season 15 additions go core; having new aspirational things to grind for was fun. In a recent interview, Brent Gibson (Game Director) said, "We are planning on supporting seasons as long as the community continues to show up for D4." That comment wasn't reassuring. You should make content good enough that the community continues to show up. With Diablo 5 in the pipeline, my biggest fear is that Diablo 4 gets sunset just like Diablo 3. The next couple of seasons will definitely tell us Diablo 4's true future.

I finally got a good necklace last night. I’m putting the final touches on the build and doing the HCSSF Tower 150 Death Push before the leaderboards reset tomorrow.

twitch.tv/datmodz

I crafted some insane pants yesterday and I’m working on farming the amulet upgrade. HCSSF Tower 150 soon.

twitch.tv/datmodz

Checking out the @PlayArkheron Crossplay Beta! I’ll be playing with @Zizaran and a developer. I’ll also be giving away 500 keys so you can try it yourself! #AD

twitch.tv/datmodz

Our HCSSF Warlock is getting pretty strong. I really need to farm a glove and necklace upgrade before we can do 150 Tower.

Diablo 4 Quick Tip! How to Farm Enigma "Quickly"

- Equip a Splinter of Damnation and a Splinter of Lies.
- Farm the new Baal, Diablo, and Mephisto Capstone Dungeons. Worldstone Keep (Baal) is the fastest and also drops a lot of Royal gems for cube recipes/gem upgrades
- Run ributes of Harmony. Allocate the Gutter Filth War Plan node.
- Farm Lair Bosses with the Lair of Runes and Greater Nemesis War Plan nodes.
- In the Cube, Amalgamate 5 Rare Runes into 1 random Legendary Rune. This is a guaranteed upgrade and is a steady supply of JAH runes. You can also target Jah Runes by Cubing 1 Cem + 5 Rare Runes + 5 Legendary Ritual Runes.
Use the hidden Cube rune upgrade recipes to upgrade your runes:

- 3× Thul + Chipped Topaz = Amn
- 3× Amn + Chipped Amethyst = Sol
- 2× Mal + Flawless Amethyst = Ist
- 2× Ist + Flawless Ruby = Vex
- 2× Vex + Flawless Emerald = Ohm
- 2× Ohm + Flawless Diamond = Lo
- 2× Lo + Grand Topaz = Ber
- 2× Ber + Grand Sapphire = Jah

Happy Farming!

Farming up more upgrades and getting ready for the Tower Leaderboard push! New Patch + I got a nice Engima last night.

twitch.tv/datmodz

HCSSF is going well! I got a nice Hellfire Torch, Mythic Seal and a bunch of upgrades yesterday. Farming more and starting the leaderboard push.

twitch.tv/datmodz

Diablo 4 Quick Tips! I hope this helps your farming in Season 15!

- Best Mythic Item/Seal farms: Worldstone Keep (Baal Capstone Dungeon) and Lair Keys with Nemesis Lair War Plan upgrades.
- The Best experience farm is doing The Undercity with the Jade Epiphany, Finely Tuned and ted.
-If you drop a good Seal with bad implicits, use the new Horadric Reroll Cube recipe. It randomizes the base affixes and keeps the Set bonuses/Powers.
- Save extra Ancestral Uniques of the piece you want. Use the Cube’s 3-to-1 Recycle Uniques feature for a chance to turn it Mythic or get Greater Affixes.
- Target Soul Splinters in Escalating Nightmare Dungeons by picking the matching gem reserve (Ruby = Anguish, Topaz = Sin, Sapphire = Lies, Emerald = Pain, Amethyst = Damnation, Diamond = Hellfire, Skull = Mother). Then amalgamate same-type splinters in the Cube to upgrade their rarity (Unique is max). You can also use the Undercity Bauble Day upgrade to get tons of splinters.
- If you have extra Resplendent Sparks, you can craft 3 Mythic Uniques and use the Cube to 3-to-1 them, which removes the Crafted tag. However, this rerolls the stats. It’s a nice trick for fishing for GG Mythics or having more equipped ones early on.
- Farm any of the new Unique items, such as Stone of Jordan and Leoric’s Crown, easily from any of the new Capstone Dungeons (Baal, Diablo, or Mephisto).
- Here is a list of the new cube recipes: d4.auscraft.games/s15/s15-secret…

Having a really good start to HCSSF! Unlocked T12 and already got 2 Mythics for my build, so today we’ll start doing the Uber bosses or maybe just dying.

SSF finally launched last night after the delay! HCSSF Fresh Start Progressing through endgame

Diablo 4 Quick Tip: How to Get a Hellfire Torch!

- Finish the Season 15 questline until Deckard Cain is at the Imperial Library.
- Collect all 10 Deckard Cain Journals (green dots on the minimap when nearby). Journal map: d4.auscraft.games/s15/deckards-j…
- Talk to Cain to open the blue to Tristram.
- Farm the 3 Prime Evil Splinters from the red seasonal Capstone Dungeons:
Splinter of Terror - Diablo in The Labyrinth
Splinter of Destruction - Baal in Worldstone Keep
Splinter of Hatred - Mephisto in Durance of Hate
- Cube all 3 splinters together to create Wirt’s Lucky Coin.
- In Tristram (Entrance at the Imperial Library), use the coin at the fountain to open the red portal to Echo of Tristram.
- Kill the Uber Tristram bosses for your Hellfire Torch.

BUG NOTES(IMPORTANT): The fountain often eats the coin without opening a portal. Leave the game, turn off crossplay, use reset dungeon to try and get a solo instance. Never use the coin if the fountain water is already red.

Good Luck!

Happy Friday! I grinded for 12 hours to get the entry keys for the new Uber boss, but the portal didn’t spawn. Attempt #2 begins now. I will get my Hellfire Torch.

SSF Fresh Start Afterwards!

twitch.tv/datmodz

Farming the last splinter for the new Uber Tristram boss fight. I finally got all the runes for my Enigma and finished the Season 15 Journey!

Back from BlizzCon! Reviewing all the Diablo 5, Diablo 4, and WoW Classic+ news. Last minute prep for season 15 that starts tomorrow!

Twitch.tv/DatModz

BlizzCon is amazing for games but even better for meeting people. In 2012, I met @D_Loe in the Hilton lobby and now we have a family and life together! We stopped for a drink in the exact location we first met!

Diablo 5 info from the panel

- More classes at launch than previous titles, with Demon Hunter, Monk, and a new class, Plague Knight has been confirmed
- Sets are coming back
- Set in Westmarch after Diablo’s victory and Sanctuary was destroyed
- Will have a caravan of followers,
I wish they had gameplay showcases and deeper info that ARPG players live for, but the release is pretty far away. I have an NDA meeting later to provide feedback on the game.

Live from BlizzCon! Watching the opening ceremony and playing the new reveal stuff afterwards! #DiabloPartner

BlizzCon Opening Day!

We made it to Blizzcon! Big shout out to Blizzard for including me this year. We will live streaming the opening ceremony and will be able to showcase whatever gets announced! Excited to see what the future holds!

Starting our Solo Adventures and working on finishing this amulet craft. I also need to capture better Pokemon.

Finished up our group play challenge run with the community. Overall, I had a lot of fun playing Path of Exile 2 Forbidden Rites in a group, but it was riddled with issues. My main problems with group play were:

- Visibility was zero. An opacity slider for your own skills and would be amazing.
- Quest progression desync. It made it hard to group up with new people and sometimes party members wouldn’t get credit even if they were present for the quest.
- Long loading screens if you weren’t the first to enter an encounter. You could die to bosses and mobs while this happened.
- Unit collision was a bit much, especially when playing with certain builds like Grim Pillars.
- Tons of random bugs, that I hope get fixed before 1.0

Finishing the challenges today in the Path of Exile 2 league with the community.

twitch.tv/datmodz

Finishing up the league challenges with the group and getting some upgrades for the Super UNC build.

twitch.tv/datmodz

Continuing my variety streamer arc and playing The Blood of Dawnwalker launch! Path of Exile 2 is still planned for Friday.

twitch.tv/datmodz

Rolled credits on Crimson Moon. This should have shipped as Early Access, not 1.0. In the first 10 minutes you find missing basics that tank first impressions: no keybinds or mouse sensitivity, a wonky camera, and a lack of basic QoL. Other than that, the combat is decent, some variety is decent (Balance is not the best), the graphics are acceptable, and multiplayer is full of random bugs and inconveniences. Overall, if things get fixed, it’s not a bad $20 game, but it should never have released like this.

First look at Wolcen 2 begins now! New ARPG!
